Chapter 1836 Jia Xu''s death
Chapter 1834: Jia Xu''s death
"If the interception and killing of all officials was really not done by Li Shimin, it would be a helping hand, but the Tang King is not Yi and others. With the current strength of the Imperial Party, if Qin Hao alone threatens him, he may not be able to control him." Sima Yi said.
"Don''t worry about this. The Han and Li Tang have a common enemy, that is Qin Hao. Before defeating Qin Hao, the tiger, I think Li Shimin would not be so wise that he attacked his allies." Yang Ping said confidently.
Seeing this, Sima Yi instinctively wanted to object, but after thinking about it, there was no other way to go, so he could only sigh and said, "I hope it will be smoother."
Sima Yi and Yang Ping attach completely different importance to Li Shimin.
Sima Yi felt that Li Shimin was a master of great talent and strategy, and was second only to Qin Hao.
Yang Ping felt that although Li Shimin was powerful, he was only lucky to achieve his current achievements. Once Cao Cao and Liu Bei gained power, he would definitely be better than him.
Yang Ping''s memory does not have the same person as Li Shimin, nor does Qin Hao, so he thinks it is because of luck. If he had memories from later generations like Wang Mang, he would naturally not think so.
Memory and its own limitations made Yang Ping underestimate Li Shimin, but overestimate Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so he did something like trying to get a tiger.
Of course, this is because the Imperial Party only has a few steps left to go, and there are no other people who can cooperate be found except for cooperation with Li Tang.
In the plot of Yang Ping and Sima Yi, after Li Shimin took control of Luoyang, he would immediately break away from the Southern Han Alliance, and the three princes of Liangzhou would return to the rule of the Luoyang court.
Cao Wei, Zhao Song in the Central Plains, and Sun Wu in Jiangdong were all ally of the Qin army, but they were nominally subordinates of the Luoyang court. I think they should not dare to rebel against the Han for the sake of the Qin army, and there is a high possibility that they would still agree with the rule of the Luoyang court.
Therefore, in addition to Li Tang, Yang Ping and Sima Yi would also allow Yang Sui, Cao Wei, Zhao Song, and Sun Wu, the four countries, to enter Luoyang together.
Under the checks and balances of multiple forces, Li Tang would not be the dominant one in Luoyang, but the imperial party could strengthen itself in the cracks and eventually regain all the military and political power bit by bit.
I have to say that Yang Ping and Sima Yi came up with a bold and naive plan, but this plan is indeed the only way to get rid of the current dead end for the imperial party. Chengdu and Fu must have a try.
Sima Yi and Yang Ping both knew that the biggest variable of this plan was whether Li Tang could take advantage of the situation to capture Ye Wang and Yiyang after he broke through Hangu Pass.
If it is done, the Li Tang army will march straight into the city of Luoyang, and then join forces with the imperial party to take Luoyang.
If not, the Li Tang army will not be able to advance, and may even withdraw from the army in the end, and all plans will die at that time.
In response to this, Sima Yi and Yang Ping also made a preparatory plan.
When they learned that Jia Xu sent reinforcements to support Hangu Pass in advance, Sima Yi and Yang Ping guessed that the Tang army might not be able to capture the two cities of Ye Wang and Yiyang, so they decisively launched the preparatory plan formulated before, which was to provide food and grass for the Tang army.
The three major families in Pingcheng are one of the secret sons of the Imperial Party, and the most important step is in Wen County.
In addition to the Sima family, Wen County also has many families close to the Imperial Party. After the Tang army "robbed" the food and grass from these families, the food and grass were naturally enough in a short period of time.
In addition, the Imperial Party not only left food to the Tang army, but also had a lot of siege equipment.
Sima Yi had long guessed that with Li Shimin''s courage, he might cross the Yewang and Yiyang City and attack Luoyang directly regardless of the food road, so he could not carry the bulky siege equipment. So he let the imperial party members use their own manor to create siege equipment and then hand it over to the Tang army for use.
Sima Yi and Yang Ping helped the Tang army pave all the roads. As long as the Tang army does not withdraw its troops in the middle and arrives in Wen County, they will need food, equipment and equipment at that time.
But after the news that the Li Tang army was blocked by Yewang City came, Yang Ping, Kong Rong, Ma Riyi and others were all in their hearts. As the imperial party, they even hoped that the Tang army would not retreat in the middle of the journey.
Li Shimin was a wise monarch after all. He made the most correct decision for the Tang Kingdom, bypassing the Yewang City and attacking Luoyang directly, which also made all the imperial parties relieved, and the next step was to support Li Tang''s food, grass and equipment. Just like Sima Yi and Yang Ping didn''t know that Jia Xu controlled the Imperial Party Captain in the army, isolated the aristocratic army and confiscated the weapons. Jia Xu didn''t know that in addition to supporting the Tang army''s food and supplies, the Imperial Party actually secretly built siege equipment to support the Tang army.
Big families all have their own manors, and in this manor, there are populations and resources, and they can produce independently without being known to the outside world, which is simply an independent small kingdom.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Hao has been suppressing the aristocratic families and constantly liberating the hidden population by the aristocratic families.
If the Imperial Party members acted in their own manors, even Jia Xu would not be able to search all the aristocratic manors one by one. Not only was it too time-consuming and labor-intensive, the Jinyiwei''s staff would not be busy at all.
Now the battle between Jia Xu and Sima Yi and Yang Ping has reached the final period of decisive victory or defeat.
Both sides have their own backup plan, but they don’t know what the other party’s killer move is.
Whoever can become the final winner depends on who is better at it.
After practicing sword skills with Liu Mu for a long time, Yang Ping personally sent Liu Mu out of the palace.
The next day, Wei Zhongxian said to Yang Ping with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, Jia Xu is coming to the palace, he is trapped."
Yang Ping''s eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "Okay, this old thief has finally been fooled."
Inducing Jia Xu into the palace, then setting up an ambush halfway and assassinating Jia Xu was actually ineffective for Yang Ping and Sima Yi.
Yang Ping and Sima Yi used all their means, but they were easily resolved by Jia Xu. Now the Tang army is about to arrive in Luoyang, so Jia Xu must be eliminated and made Luoyang chaotic.
"See Your Majesty." Jia Xu bowed with a kind face.
After Yang Ping saw Jia Xu, a glimmer flashed in his eyes. He was Liu Xie''s perfect stand-in, so he could naturally tell whether Jia Xu in front of him was real.
The Jia Xu in front of him had no trace of disguise, and his appearance, expression, and even his tone were exactly the same as the real Jia Xu.
Unless Jia Xu also has a twin brother and is trained as a stand-in, it is absolutely impossible to disguise himself as such a similar person.
Yang Pingke concluded in his heart that the person in front of him was Jia Xu''s true deity.
After asking Yang Ping some questions tentatively, Jia Xu left with his guard, and just after he left, a cold light suddenly flashed in Yang Ping''s eyes.
"It''s Jia Xu himself, right. This time, you must not let this old thief walk out of the palace alive." Yang Ping said coldly.
"I will take people there in person to ensure that everything is safe." Wei Zhongxian sneered.
An hour later, a shocking news came from the palace, shocking the entire Luoyang City.
The uncle of King Qin Hao, the uncle of King Qin Hao, was in charge of the entire Luoyang military power. After entering the palace to meet the saint, he was assassinated by several eunuchs when he was about to leave the palace.
