Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 975

Luye Zanliang was specially ordered by Li Qinzai to be transferred from Ganjingzhuang.

During this trip to Japan, Little Baga had to be by Li Qinzai's side. It wasn't that Li Qinzai had any beastly thoughts and insisted on following Little Baga.

But Xiao Baga's identity meant that she could not stay out of the matter. The eldest daughter of the emperor accompanied Li Qinzai to the country of Wa, which was beneficial to Li Qinzai's control over the royal family and subjects of the country.

Of course, the aspect of the animal's mind can be expected as an unexpected surprise. After all, the eldest daughter of the emperor has been a maid in the Li family's courtyard for so long, and she is used to rough work, so she must have great strength. There is a high probability that Li Qinzai will not be able to struggle with any unruly thoughts.

But from the standpoint of Little Baga, she was 1 unwilling to go back to Wa Kingdom with Li Qinzai.

Although she didn't quite know the purpose of Li Qinzai leading the army to Japan this time, she could be sure that it was definitely not for her father, middle brother and second brother's birthday.

No matter what the purpose is, she really doesn't want to be a pawn in Li Qinzai's hands.

"Bringing you back to Japan to meet your parents, I made your family neat and tidy, shouldn't you be grateful? Why do you look reluctant?" Li Qinzai said dissatisfiedly.

Luye Zanliang said in a low voice: "Whether the servant is willing or not is actually not important, is it?"

Li Qinzai looked at her appreciatively, and said, "You are finally alive."

Luye Zanliang said again: "Will Wu Shaolang lead the army to the Wa Kingdom this time, will he slaughter the people of the Wa Kingdom?"

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "I know what you're thinking, I can only tell you that if the Wa people don't offend me, I won't kill people casually. After all, I'm not a murderer."

Luye Zanliang was silent for a moment, and said: "The servant girl will ask my father, as the eldest daughter of the emperor, to restrain the subjects in the country and never offend the master of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Qinzai smiled: "That's right, that's what it means to take you to Japan."

…………

Leading Buqu and Xiaobaga, Li Qinzai boldly entered the camp in the northern suburbs.

As soon as I walked in, the big drum in the army was beating. The rumbling drum seemed to control the rhythm of the beating heart, and people's emotions were also excited along with the drumming.

A group of generals in armor strode towards Li Qinzai, stood still in front of Li Qinzai, and saluted with fists together.

"The last general, Fang Yi, the former governor of Anxi, paid a visit to Li County Lord. Yesterday, the last general received an order from the Ministry of War to serve as Li Xiangong's deputy general, and assist Li County Lord to lead the army to the east of the country."

When Li Qinzai heard Wang Fangyi's name, he immediately stepped forward to hold his arm.

This Wang Fangyi was also considered a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Although he was not considered dazzling in the history books, a few years later, Wang Fangyi led his army to directly attack the Western Turks on the Yili River, captured his royal court, captured his Khan, and deterred him in one fell swoop. In the Western Regions, Datang was able to basically guarantee the stability of the Western Regions during the reign of Empress Wu.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi transferred him from the Anxi Protectorate to serve as his deputy.

Wang Fangyi has another identity, which is a bit embarrassing to say.

Li Zhi's ex-wife, Queen Wang, is Wang Fangyi's cousin.After Queen Wang was abolished, Wang Fangyi's official career was naturally greatly affected. Otherwise, with his ability, why would he be just a general protector now.

Li Qinzai also realized at this time that Li Zhi appointed Wang Fangyi as his lieutenant general for something else.

At the beginning, in order to let Empress Wu take the throne, Li Zhi abolished Queen Wang, and his relationship with the Wang family in Taiyuan was once very cold. Later, when Mrs. Wei was murdered, Li Zhi decreed to restore the original surname of Wang, and subdued Empress Wu.

Although Empress Wu was subdued, Li Zhi obviously would not continue to let her go because of her submissiveness. He was consciously and purposefully easing the relationship between the royal family and the Taiyuan Wang family.

Aristocratic families want to suppress, but they can't do everything in one pot. The emperor will not do things so extreme, and the queen wants to be pampered, and occasionally slaps her to be nice.The aristocratic family wants to suppress, of course, occasionally give a sweet date to make them less antagonistic.

This is called the Emperor's Balance Technique.

Li Zhi sent Wang Fangyi to Li Qinzai's side for this expedition, probably with this in mind.

"Wang Duhu, haha, I have admired your name for a long time." Li Qinzai greeted warmly.

Treat historical celebrities with respect, and ask him to sign a few autographs for himself if there is nothing to do. If future generations lose their families in the future, they can earn a few meals by selling the autographs of historical celebrities.

Li Qinzai's mind is so simple and unpretentious.

Wang Fangyi was overwhelmed by Li Qinzai's enthusiasm, and dared not speak up.

Since Queen Wang was abolished, Wang Fangyi's official career has basically stopped. The reason why he was not liquidated by Empress Wu is because Wang Fangyi is far away in Anxi, and the Queen's hand cannot be stretched so far.

The second is that the Taiyuan Wang family is a thousand-year-old family after all, no matter how poor the family is, there is still power left after the death of a tiger, and Empress Wu dared not stroke his beard easily.

But Li Qinzai could tell that the various changes in the court these years had dealt a heavy blow to Wang Fangyi. From the moment they met, Wang Fangyi was always cautious, especially in front of Li Qinzai, the county magistrate who was highly valued by the emperor. On the one hand, he didn't dare to take the airs of the children of the aristocratic family at all.

"Mr. Li, the dispatch order from the Ministry of War has been sent to the camp in the northern suburbs. All food, grass, weapons, firearms, etc. have been prepared. Please, Mr. Li, come on stage to appoint generals and swear an oath to march." Wang Fangyi said.

Li Qinzai nodded, and did not refuse at this time. He took the lead and walked towards the training ground.

Surrounded by a group of generals, Li Qinzai, wearing armor, boldly came to the training ground. The ground was densely packed with soldiers, and as far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.

When Li Qinzai stepped onto the command platform, a general waved down the small flag in his hand.

There was a clatter of armor leaves on the training ground, and ten thousand soldiers saluted Li Qinzai holding their halberds.

Li Qinzai looked solemn, and after scanning around, he raised his voice and said: "Decree, I ordered Li Qinzai, the Duke of Weinan County, to be the head of the march of the Honzhou Road, and lead an army of [-] to the east of the Wa Kingdom. Military and political officials, naval departments, etc., are all subject to its restraint, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with."

The soldiers saluted one after another to show their service.

Li Qinzai smiled, and said loudly: "What I said just now is the content of the imperial decree. Now, as the commander of the first army, I will say a few more plain words."

"In this battle, the officers and men in the army, no matter how big or small they are, follow our military orders, abide by our laws, follow the flag, and be invincible. Those who fight the enemy bravely will be rewarded for their merits. I will guarantee a bright future for you all."

"I hope that all the brothers in Paoze will strive for success, whether for themselves or for the descendants of the family. If you make contributions in the First World War and benefit your descendants, you will be worthy of the emperor's kindness, and worthy of your wives and children."

After speaking, Li Qinzai waved his hand and said, "That's it, all soldiers, prepare to march!"

Wang Fangyi strode forward and shouted to the soldiers: "The generals of all ministries count the soldiers, weapons, food and grass, counting the battalions, and set out!"

Seeing the soldiers on the training ground lined up in an orderly manner and quietly set off towards the gate of the camp, Li Qinzai nodded secretly.

It is not unreasonable for the king of the Tang Dynasty to be invincible in the world. The strength of an army can be seen in the smallest details.

Looking at the sky in the distance, Li Qinzai smiled.

The Ping Haidong strategy begins today.

This world is already different, because of his arrival, the world will become more troubled.
