What shocked Li Shimin was not only the guard around him back then, but now he was in private communication with Hou Junji.

Moreover, there are many rude contents in Liu Yao's letters. In order to compliment Hou Junji, he even said that Hou Junji had made great achievements, and even if he was named a king, it would not be an exaggeration.

Whether the imperial court can be conferred a title of king is obviously not something that Liu Yao can discuss.

Moreover, this person also said in a letter to Hou Junji that His Highness the Crown Prince was not smart and argued that if Li Shimin died, the Crown Prince would succeed the throne. It should be Hou Junji's story that he followed Kong Ming.

This made Li Shimin furious. When Shu Han was in a turmoil, Liu Bei entrusted his orphans in Baidi City and handed Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang. Has this Hou Junji actually had such a delusion, and he still wanted to be the prime minister?

Of course, the most hateful thing is that Liu Yao was admired by Li Shimin so much and rose from a guard. Unexpectedly, he was still not satisfied and wanted to rely on clinging to Hou Junji to continue to gain a high position in the army. These words of slandering in the palace are no longer any difference from treason.

Li Shimin put down Liu Yao's letter, then took another letter and opened it. Most of the people who wrote letters to Hou Junji were actually impressed by Li Shimin.

These people have either become governors, generals, or lieutenants, or even a few civil officials. They have tried their best to brag about Hou Junji.

Li Shimin took a breath, and he was reluctant to read the letters behind him.

Li Shimin pursed his lips for a while before sighing, "My heart is so cold! Where are Liu Yao, Wu Zhi and others?"

Zhang Qian immediately said: "Everyone is outside the pass."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed: "Hou Junji's evil deeds are endless, and these people... are all accomplices of the tiger. I summoned Hou Junji several times, but he refused to go to the army. Obviously... Hou Junji has other intentions! If Hou Junji wants to rebel, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of soldiers will be as ambitious as him, or they will be deceived by him. These are 30,000 iron cavalry, and the elite of my Tang Dynasty will never be restored. Come on, quickly, write a letter to Chen Zhengtai and tell Chen Zhengtai... something might happen. I will pass the imperial edict and pass on my order. The Ministry of War will immediately allocate troops. I want Li Jing to collect 10,000 elite cavalry for me immediately, and I will leave the customs immediately."

Li Shimin's tone was very urgent because he had realized something terrible.

Maybe it's just a premonition.

But Hou Junji was so guilty that he had reached this point, so... he had to make the worst plan.

For Li Shimin, there are not many people in the world who can check and balance Hou Junji. Li Jing is one, and he, Li Shimin is one. As for the others... who can be Hou Junji's opponent?

This Hou Junji is indeed a handsome man, so... only Li Shimin took action personally.

After hearing this, Zhang Qian couldn't help but say in surprise: "Your Majesty...this..."

"Stop talking!" Li Shimin said without hesitation: "The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed."

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Qian said with a sad face: "Your Majesty must not act irresponsible..."

Li Shimin lost all patience at this time and said furiously: "This Hou Junji was cultivated by me by myself. If such people are to harm me, who can control it? At this time, we must take this opportunity to cut him off immediately. Otherwise, it would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble."

Zhang Qian was still worried and said, "But Your Majesty only brought ten thousand elite cavalry..."

Li Shimin sneered: "I am the vanguard and ordered Li Jing to be the back team. I will lead the team to attack first, and the army will be behind."

Li Shimin only thought of one terrible thing at this time.

Hou Junji is a talent, and the more talented he is, such a person has the troops and horses in his hands and is outside the pass. Once he notices something is wrong, then... he will inevitably rebel.

After the rebellion, the first thing to do was to attack the Tiance Army and Chen Zhengtai, control Xining, Gaochang, and even Shuofang.

If the court only takes action after the bad news comes, then Hou Junji will be able to control the outside world under great victory, which will give Hou Junji time to repair and grow!

Once Hou Junji grew stronger, with the help of this person and the assistance of elite soldiers such as Liu Yao, the Tang Dynasty would no longer have any other places outside the pass.

What's even more terrifying is that Chen Zhengtai is still outside the pass, and most of the Chen family have moved to Xining. Due to Hou Junji's hatred for the Chen family, the Chen family is afraid that they will die without a place to bury them.

If there is a real rebellion, it may shake the foundation of the country, and even the pillars of the Tang Dynasty were wiped out together, which Li Shimin would never accept.

The best way now is to attack immediately. Li Shimin is a general. As a general, the one who is best at seizing the right shot is the fighter!

For him, no matter whether Hou Junji rebelled or not, he would take ten thousand elite cavalry and attack quickly. If Hou Junji did not rebel, he could directly enter the army, take Hou Junji with his own hands, and then appease the three armies.

But if Hou Junji rebels, even if the rebels take Xining, he can give the rebels a head-on attack when the other party is not yet firm. Then, the Tang army will continue to come out of seclusion, and completely surrounded Hou Junji and trapped him to death!

Zhang Qian never expected that Li Shimin was so fierce. After reading the letter, he immediately wanted to carry a knife and get on the horse.

This is a rare thing since His Majesty ascended the throne.

Seeing Zhang Qian open his mouth and looking like he wanted to persuade him again, Li Shimin angrily said, "The fighter shots flashed and how could a real man hesitate at this time? If he delayed it again, would he have to wait for the thief to gain a firm foothold outside the pass and then arrange troops with him? What's more... If I attack at this time, Chen Zhengtai might be saved. If he is a little late, he will definitely die. How could he, an economic talent, be the opponent of Hou Junji? Hou Junji pinched his hand and could kill him like an ant. How many people in the world can restrain Hou Junji, besides me? Not to mention, this person has 30,000 iron cavalry, which is an elite cavalry and the guard of honor of the five thousand Tianzheng Army. How can he be his opponent? Let's talk too much, I will be the commander of the imperial army in person, and it's urgent to stop."

Li Shimin's military use was actually different from ordinary people. He was good at winning unexpectedly. During the founding of the Tang Dynasty, his favorite thing was to attack with cavalry. He always led the way, and no grass would grow wherever he passed.

Now, Li Shimin quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided to use the same trick again.

Zhang Qian knew that he could not persuade him, so he said, "If Your Majesty leaves, will His Highness the Crown Prince be the governor?"

As he said that, Zhang Qian looked at Li Shimin carefully.

Obviously... Li Chengqian and Hou Junji have a very good relationship. If Hou Junji really rebelled, then is the crown prince still reliable? If His Majesty leads his troops to leave Chang'an at this time, can the crown prince be trusted?

Li Shimin's eyes were hesitant, but then he said, "Let the prince supervise the country."

"Ah..." Zhang Qian didn't expect that Li Shimin made a quick judgment.

"It's good, I just test him." Li Shimin said: "You don't have to worry. If the prince changes abnormally, as long as I still have a breath, I will never let him cause trouble."

Zhang Qian had no choice but to say helplessly: "Here..."

……………………

Two days later, Hou Junji began to follow the previous orders and lead the army to start the battle.

These soldiers who followed him were inevitably depressed when they left.

At this time, people still have a lot of desire for military merit. They finally had the opportunity to conquer Gaochang, but in the end... they died in vain.

But at this time... these tens of thousands of cavalry were helpless.

The winding teams abandoned the camp and walked with their baggage.

Just traveled for ten miles.

Suddenly, all the generals and schoolmen were summoned.

Hou Junji looked a little anxious when he pressed his knife, but soon he calmed down and looked at the hundreds of generals and schoolmen, most of whom were familiar faces. The reason why Hou Junji was called a famous general by Li Shimin was not that he had a few tricks. At least he knew the generals and schoolmen in the army. He knew what each person had and what his background was.

So Liu Yao first took out a decree and then said, "Your Majesty has an order."

The generals and schoolmen looked at each other for a moment, looking around.

Obviously, they had not heard of the emperor's other intentions before.

Of course, there are also some of Hou Junji's confidants who are generally aware of the situation. They do not express their feelings and take the lead: "People and others will accept the order."

So the others clasped their fists and said, "Listen to the order."

Liu Yao said loudly: "Mengjin Chen family is guarding the pass outside the pass, and he is unscrupulous. I ordered you and others to conquer Gaochang, but it was just a plan to attack Guo, which was called to attack Gaochang. In fact, he killed the thief's head and took Shuofang and Xining. Now that I have my order, I will immediately attack Chen family, and there will be no mistakes!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals were shocked.

These generals and lieutenants obviously could not understand why such a decree was there.

Didn’t the Chen family always be close to His Majesty?

Just when someone is experiencing doubts.

At this time, someone shouted: "How come this secret decree is for nothing? I have never heard of it before. I have to see this decree with my own eyes before I can believe it."

Everyone looked at it, but it was General Liu Wu.

Hou Junji stood aside, pressing the knife and looking at Liu Wu with a meaningful look, and a meaningful look passed between Liu Wu.

Then, Liu Wu immediately stepped forward, took the will from Liu Yao, looked down, and then said, "Yes, the will is true, and what is said inside is not false. Everyone, who else wants to test it?"

The generals and schoolmen were all silent, and the people in the army did not like to raise too many questions.

We are all brothers, eating meat and drinking with big pieces, you can't believe Liu Yao, can you still believe Liu Wu? Even if you can't believe Liu Wu, can you even Hou Junji?

Hou Junji then stepped out and pressed his knife and said, "Why should the Chen family be cut off in the palace? This is not something that our ministers can do. Since we have already come here, how dare we not follow it? The generals obeyed the orders, and everyone returned to their headquarters and prepared to attack, first attack the Tiance army camp, and then surround the Chen family! This general led the way, gathered all the elites, and attacked with us."

Everyone couldn't help but feel a stern. It was rare to see this when Hou Jun gathered to take the lead.

However, it is reported that Hou Jun gathered arrows and was extremely brave. In the past, his best attitude was to charge and get into battle. With him, the only Tiance army would be like cutting melons and chopping vegetables!

So everyone cheered up: "Here!"

Tens of thousands of cavalry were originally heading east, but then the troops stopped advancing. The battalions and battalions abandoned their chariots and horses, and everyone began to board the horses and check swords and bows. At this time, the bravery of the Tang army was still there, and there were countless brave generals and powerful soldiers in the army.

Then, Hou Junji gave an order and then attacked.

Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped in this wilderness, countless horse hooves raised dust, and flags appeared and disappeared in the dust all over the sky. In just an instant, they burst out with a momentum of breaking through everything...

…………

Chen Zhengtai has summoned all Wei Xuanzhen and others.

Of course, today is the day when Hou Junji returned to the court, but Wu Yu suspected that these people would rebel. Naturally, Chen Zhengtai still counted on these financial owners to rent the land in Gaochang. Ensuring the safety of customers was the top priority.

In order to prevent Yu Weiran, Chen Zhengtai decided to take everyone to the Tiance Army camp early in the morning.

Well, please come here to observe the Tiance Army exercise.

The Five Thousand Tian Ce Army made all preparations in the early morning. According to the exercise plan, the artillery battalion had set up positions. After the heavy armored cavalry had eaten, they began to protect the left and right wings. The infantry battalion had prepared gunpowder and projectiles and sharpened their knives.

The vast army and horses lined up.

Cui Zhizheng and others are still quite interested in observing this so-called exercise.

Who doesn't know that this Tiance Army is the royal guard of honor and is said to be very powerful.

On weekdays, Li Shimin relies on it for traveling.

But in the past, when the emperor went on a tour, they just followed him from afar.
To be continued...
