Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 125 Never Lose

No matter from which aspect, Duan Zhixuan hopes that Xue Shou can make the right choice.Before they entered Chang'an, Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing followed the king in Hedong and helped them defeat Qu Tutong.

They are actually good friends who carried spears to the battlefield together and went to Pingkangfang to learn body art together.

As for classmates, it is impossible to be classmates. After all, youth has passed, and I can no longer pick up books to study again.

If possible, he really wanted to remind Xue Shou.However, he dare not.

The letter that the king gave him alone was so explosive that he burned it in front of Li Qiang after reading it.

Although he didn't understand why the king wanted him to take down Li Yuan by all means, but as a confidant of the king of Chu, he would not ask more questions and would only earnestly carry out the order.

Of course, he actually had some guesses in his mind.But this kind of thing, he can only bury it deeply in his heart, as if it never happened.

Xue Shou was silent because he was a smart person.

Smart people can often associate one thing with many things.King Chu knew that Li Yuan belonged to the prince, but he still wanted them to find a way to help him regain his military power.

This matter is not simple.

King Chu, he is holding on to the military power tightly, what exactly is he trying to do?
Merit?

Just for the sake of meritorious service, it is not enough to do this.Because once the matter is exposed, the king of Chu will offend the prince.

Compared with this conjecture, Xue Shou would rather believe that it was because the king of Chu was reluctant to lose the direct line of soldiers who raised troops in Jinyang.

But the problem is that the letter written by the king of Chu, the meaning expressed, has been regarded as "selfish for profit" to some extent.

Regardless of the success or failure of military affairs, only personal interests.

This seems to be completely different from the Chu king Li Zhiyun that Xue Shou knew.Or, did he not understand King Chu from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Xue Shou trembled all over, he suddenly remembered what Du Ruhui had said to him.

Try to get to know the king.

Doesn't he know the king of Chu?
Judging from this incident, it seems that he really doesn't understand very well.

Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?
"Do you find it difficult?" Duan Zhixuan asked, "Or, do you think it is inappropriate for the king to offend the crown prince?"

Xue Shou kept silent, Duan Zhixuan naturally wouldn't wait for him.

Hearing this, Xue Shou shook his head slowly, and said earnestly to Duan Zhixuan: "Don't you think it's strange, Your Majesty knows that if this action is exposed, he will offend the Crown Prince, so why would he do this? Also, Your Majesty has always taken care of the overall situation in the past, But what the king did this time obviously has other meanings."

"You mean, we want to prevent the king from offending the crown prince?" Duan Zhixuan put one hand behind his back, silently rubbing the blade inside the armor interlayer.

Old Xue, you have narrowed your path.

Xue Shou thought for a while, then shook his head solemnly, "No, no matter what the king thinks, but since he did this, there must be his reasons, but I haven't figured it out yet. After this incident is over, I will I will ask the king personally."

"Furthermore, with Du Ruhui by His Majesty's side, I believe His Majesty will not act recklessly. I eat His Majesty's salary, and I shall plan for His Majesty. This is my duty."

Congratulations to you, Lao Xue, you are back on the right track again. I hope you will continue to work hard and broaden the road.Duan Zhixuan patted Xue Shou on the shoulder, "Then let's find a way together."

Xue Shou paced twice and said, "Li Yuan led the Yunyang Army this time to support King Changping and join forces against Zhu Can. If this battle is won, the crown prince will have an excuse for Li Yuan to continue leading the Yunyang Army, so , we will make Li Yuan fail."

"Let Li Yuan fail?"

"That's right." Xue Shou analyzed: "Once Li Yuan is defeated, in terms of the available generals in Chang'an, Your Majesty is the first choice. At that time, Your Majesty can easily regain control of the Yunyang Army."

Duan Zhixuan said: "You mean, we want"

He gave Xue Shou a look, and the latter looked at him with the same look.

it is more than words.

On March [-]th of the second year of Wude, Li Yuan led [-] soldiers and horses to Wuguan in Shangzhou.Along the way, Li Yuan received at least three urging letters from Yongning and Zheng Yuanxuan.

But he turned a deaf ear to all of them and continued to march slowly.

When he arrived at Wuguan, Yu Yongning and Zheng Yuanxuan had already withdrawn from Jutan to Wuguan.

There's no way, I can't stop it.Although the defense of the camp was effective, Zhu Can couldn't hold back Zhu Can's forceful attack with ten times more troops. For the safety of Wuguan, Yu Yongning and Zheng Yuanxuan planned to withdraw to Wuguan first.

After all, they couldn't wait for Li Yuan's reinforcements, so they really didn't dare to gamble with Wuguan.Right now, King Changping is attacking Nanyang unexpectedly. Once they are wiped out in Jutan, Wuguan will be lost.

Therefore, seeing Li Yuan's reinforcements, Yu Yongning's face was very ugly.

He didn't know how many military letters he had written, and he sent his own soldiers to urge Li Yuan, but he still came too late, which was not a little bit short of their budgeted joining forces date.

"King of Lujiang, you are too slow to come."

Li Yuan said calmly: "The Qinling Mountains are rough and difficult to navigate, I hope the envoy will forgive me."

"Forgive me?" Yu Yongning said angrily, "Do you know the importance of Wuguan, and the threat Zhu Can poses to the pass!"

"Is Yu Shijun really questioning this king?" Li Yuan's tone was not kind.

Can't you hear it, I'm just questioning!
Yu Yongning wanted to refute, but was stopped by Zheng Yuanyan, he said to Li Yuan: "Forgive me, King Lujiang, but things have changed. Not long ago, King Changping led an army to attack Nanyang, and the defense of Wuguan is very weak now."

Zheng Yuanxuan was one of his own, so Li Yuan naturally wouldn't speak sarcastically, he said after hearing this: "Uncle Changping's surprise attack on Nanyang is indeed a wonderful move."

what?
Yu Yongning felt like he was bitten by a dog, are you talking human?Can't you see that Nanyang is actually tasteless?Don't you understand the inappropriateness of raiding Nanyang?
Li Yuan really didn't understand.

So, he said something similar to Li Shuliang.

"If Uncle Changping's surprise attack succeeds, Zhu Can will definitely return to his aid, and when we pursue Zhu Can's soldiers and horses, we will definitely win a big victory."

No matter whether King Changping wins or loses, Li Yuan will never lose.

Changping Wang Ruosheng, he will take the credit for nothing, and then the prince can ask the saint to continue to command the Yunyang army.

If King Changping is defeated, he can lead the Yunyang Army to guard Shangzhou.

He won no matter what, he wasn't nervous at all.

After hearing what he said, Yu Yongning felt a chill in his heart.

How could a sage send this kind of beast to lead the army? With such insight, he is not even worthy to carry shoes for King Qin!
It's over, Wuguan is over, Shangzhou is over.

Datang Uh, Datang is all right.

Yu Yongning thought sadly.

Zheng Yuanxuan also looked confused, what was the crown prince thinking, why did he let Li Yuan come over?
He hurriedly said: "King of Lujiang, you don't know that Zhu Can is just a bandit. He doesn't care about the gain or loss of a city or a place at all. Even if Nanyang is lost, he may not come back to help."

"It's okay, I heard that Zhu Can feeds on people, so it can be seen that he has no food and grass. If Nanyang is lost, he can't even find people, so he can only wait to die." Li Yuan said indifferently.

Listen, listen, is this fucking human?
Yu Yongning remained silent, his heart was already cold.

Duan Zhixuan and Xue Shou, who were following behind Li Yuan, looked at each other, and they could see the hidden smile in each other's eyes.

This kind of trash dared to rob the King's Yunyang Army.

In the end, Li Yuan decided to stand still for the time being and garrison Wuguan.
