Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 121 It's Not Out Of Control

In the camp, the two masters and ministers did not speak for a long time.

In the end, Du Ruhui analyzed: "Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, has always been good to the prince. Although he followed the king to Shannan Road to suppress the rebellion, he did not make any meritorious service. This time the saint asked Li Yuan to lead the Yunyang army. It came out of trust in Li Yuan. From the subordinates' point of view, the crown prince should be the one doing the best."

"This king doesn't know." Li Zhiyun picked up a teacup to drink water, moistening his dry throat, "What is Li Yuan? Thousands of people is the limit, let alone tens of thousands of soldiers. If Li Jiancheng was not helping him in secret, Li Yuan How could the father pay attention to him? Keming, this king and you have both miscalculated."

He didn't address his elder brother, let alone the prince, but called the crown prince by his name in an extremely rude manner.Du Ruhui understood that the King of Chu was already furious.

"My lord, calm down."

"Calm down?" Li Zhiyun looked at Du Ruhui with sharp eyes, "Keming, do you know that the soldiers and horses in the Yunyang camp are the direct descendants of the king who started his army from Jinyang after following the king! Now, if he says take it away, he will take it away. Is it worthless?"

Du Ruhui pursed his lips, and solemnly reminded, "Your Majesty wants to act like Liu Chang of the former Han Dynasty?"

Liu Chang of the former Han Dynasty, King Li of Huainan, and half-brother of Emperor Xiaowen of the former Han Dynasty, this son was raised under Lu Hou's knee since childhood, so he escaped the disaster of killing himself.In the prime of life, the strength can resist the tripod, and the force is strong.His mother, Zhao Ji, died because of Shen Shiqi's ineffective rescue, so Liu Chang harbored resentment since he was a child.

Later, when Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty came to power, Liu Chang hammered and killed Shen Shiqi.

That's right, the young man beat a dying old man to death with a hammer.

Du Ruhui said this to remind Li Zhiyun not to be impulsive.Impulse can cause huge and irreparable mistakes.

And, don't misuse your anger.

Li Jiancheng doesn't owe you anything, he seized your military power today, as expected.Just as Shen Shiqi couldn't save Zhao Ji, he didn't owe Zhao Ji anything at all.Liu Chang hammered and killed Shen Shiqi, but he could only be said to be incompetent and furious.

Because it was Empress Lu who really killed Zhao Ji.

Hearing Du Ruhui's warning, Li Zhiyun gradually calmed down.

"The king has lost his composure."

"The subordinates can understand your Majesty's mood, but the matter is not out of hand yet."

Li Zhiyun sighed: "It is stated in the letter that the army has gone to Shangzhou with Li Yuan, and it is too late for me to go back at this time."

"My lord, you can't rush back at all."

"Why?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled, "Could it be that this king just watched the Yunyang army be taken down by the crown prince?"

Du Ruhui shook his head, "Your Majesty, the Yunyang Army is not the crown prince's, but the sage's. If your majesty rushes back to Chang'an and asks the sage to change generals, what will the sage think? The king of Chu is obsessed with military power? The king of Chu is unwilling to delegate power? Control the army? Or, the king of Chu has a disobedient heart?"

This speech made Li Zhiyun sweat profusely.

Until now, he has completely calmed down like Dongyue cold water rushing against his face.For a long time, the Yunyang army has been under his control, plus it is the direct descendant of the Jinyang army, and Li Yuan's acquiescence, Li Zhiyun regards this army as his private song from the bottom of his heart.

But he forgot that it was the sage who made the decisions in Tang Dynasty.Even his current glorious status comes from that person.

"Keming, I know I was wrong."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui felt relieved, "It's good for the king to calm down."

Li Zhiyun adjusted his mood and asked: "You just said that the matter is not out of control, what do you mean?"

Du Ruhui analyzed: "The sage asked Li Yuan to lead the soldiers and horses of the Yunyang camp to support Shangzhou, which shows that there is a war in Shangzhou. Before that, the main direction of the court was to support King Qin to pacify Li Gui in Xiliang, King Qi stationed in Bingzhou, Huai'an Wang garrisoned Hebei. Changping Wang garrisoned Shangzhou, originally intending to attack Zhu Can, but because Zhu Can gathered [-] soldiers and horses, he changed to temporarily guard Shangzhou."

"But now, there are only two possibilities for the imperial court to send troops to Shangzhou. One is that Zhu Can starts to attack Shangzhou, and the other is that King Changping is preparing to attack on his own initiative. No matter what the reason is, there must be a war in Shangzhou. Originally, King Changping had already The [-] soldiers and horses, plus the [-] soldiers and horses of the Yunyang Camp, make a total of [-] troops, this is definitely not a small fight."

Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "These kings understand, but the soldiers and horses of the Yunyang camp, just hand over to the crown prince?"

"Let?" Du Ruhui shook his head with a smile, "Your Majesty, although Li Yuan is now in command of the Yunyang Army, it doesn't mean that he can control the Yunyang Army."

"But if King Changping wins against Zhu Can in Shangzhou, the crown prince will take the opportunity to advise Li Yuan to continue commanding the Yunyang Army."

"Can you win the fight?" Du Ruhui asked back.

"Why?" Looking at Du Ruhui's eyes, Li Zhiyun seemed to understand something.

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty and his subordinates know exactly who King Changping is. His opponent, Zhu Can, has [-] troops, and King Changping only got [-] troops from the Yunyang Army. I heard that Zhu Can's troops are under his command." The soldiers had no food to feed on people, and all of them were wild beasts. Although Zhu Can's soldiers may not all wear armor, they are already inhuman. Facing the Tang army, they must fight to the death. Although the Tang army is fully equipped, it is difficult to face twenty Thousands of soldiers and horses, it is difficult to be [-]% sure of victory."

"Taking a step back, even if they can win, they can't win."

"What do you mean?" Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that Duan Zhixuan and Xue Shou are still in the Yunyang Army. Your Majesty has been running the Yunyang Army for many years, and the generals and officers all follow His Majesty's lead. Whatever His Majesty asks them to do, they will naturally do what His Majesty wants them to do. Inside, there are not so many people to replace."

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun already understood everything.Immediately afterwards, he said: "If Duan Zhixuan is allowed to hold back in the dark, King Changping will probably lose nine times out of ten. But I am worried that once King Changping is defeated, will the crown prince suggest to my father to use Li Yuan to guard Shangzhou. He even asked Li Yuan to delay his march and arrive in Shangzhou when King Changping was defeated. At that time, the crown prince could logically recommend Li Yuan to guard Shangzhou, and Li Yuan would have enough time to control the Yunyang army. "

Du Ru shook his head with a faint smile, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Zhu Can is just a farmer. If he can defeat King Changping, he will definitely attack the pass. At that time, the pass will be shaken. Even if the saint asks Li Yuan to defend Zhu Can, Duan Zhixuan and Xue Can he keep it in the army?"

"And if he can't keep it, Zhu Can threatens the pass, which will inevitably cause restlessness among the people in the pass. At present, the king of Qin is conquering Xiliang, the king of Qi is guarding Bingzhou, and the king of Huai'an is far away in Xiangzhou. Who can compare with the king of other clans? ? At that time, the saint will take the king as the commander to resist Zhu Can."

"Besides, if Zhu Can doesn't attack, we can also use secret tricks to tell him the reality of the pass and lure him to attack. Zhu Can has plundered all over Nanyang, and the richness of the pass is enough to attract him to fight to the death."

At this point, Li Zhiyun was completely relieved.

As long as the micromanagement is done well, he can still go back and regain control of the Yunyang Army in the end.

"No matter what, after this incident, the Yunyang army will definitely suffer greatly." Li Zhiyun felt a little distressed.

Du Ruhui advised: "Your Majesty, although the Yunyang Army is the direct descendant of Jinyang, it has not experienced a major war since it entered Chang'an. The Pingshan South Road has benefited from the situation in Guanlong. The main force to destroy Xue Ju is the Qin King's soldiers and horses." , The Yunyang Army has not fought a battle for a long time. If it is defeated this time, it will be like a slap in the face and break the arrogance of the Yunyang Army. Only by burning gold can a magic weapon be produced."

Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "You are right."

Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui said: "Moreover, if the sage takes the king as the commander, the king can replenish as many soldiers as the Yunyang army loses. Even, take this opportunity to expand the force."

Li Zhiyun paused for a moment, the crisis is the crisis, the danger comes before the opportunity.

"Hahaha, okay Keming, okay."

Hearing the king's hearty laughter, Du Ruhui also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"This king will write a letter to Duan Zhixuan, asking him to 'loyalty' to Li Yuan." Li Zhiyun's tone was full of killing intent.

If you grab my toy, you have to be prepared to pay the price.
