Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 99 Swept
The situation of Li Zhi is even more special. His father Li Shimin was the actual founder of the Tang Empire and the greatest emperor in ancient China. While inheriting his rich political heritage, he also inherited the most powerful group of heroes. The heroes with outstanding military and political talents may be loyal to Li Zhi's great father, but they may not be so loyal to this much inferior son.

After all, Li Shimin could pass the throne to Li Zhi, but he couldn't leave his talent and prestige to his son.To make matters worse, these heroes have been tied to the royal family through marriage. The situation after Li Zhi ascended the throne can be imagined.

According to historical records, Li Zhi's performance in the face of Fang Yiai's treason case was quite in line with his "benevolent and cowardly" personality. Rebellion?" came the words.

Later, when Changsun Wuji reported to him that the treason case involved Li Ke, king of Wu, and Li Yuanjing, king of Jing, Li Zhi cried and said, "King Jing, my uncle; King Wu, brother; if you want to save him from death, can you?" The responsibility for Fang Yiai's treason case has been pushed to Changsun Wuji.

But judging from Li Zhi's dexterity and decisiveness when he was in power later, this description can only be said to be a common method of "taboo for the venerable" in ancient history books.After all, when someone reported Changsun Wuji's rebellion later, Li Zhi still cried and said: "If my uncle is true, I will never bear to kill him. What will the world call me? What will future generations call me?" The subordinates were deceived and killed Changsun Wuji by mistake.

Of course, Sima Guang still has the conscience of a historian, and added a sentence later, "The superiors thought it was right, but they didn't ask Wuji" (Li Zhi thought it was right, but he didn't confront Changsun Wuji face-to-face), and he blacked out Li Zhi gave it a hand.

"The emperor's house, the emperor's house!"

Li Zhi let out a deep sigh, repelled the maid who was attracted by the exclamation, and lay down, but he couldn't fall asleep again. The memory picture was spinning in his mind like a revolving lantern. Could it be that he did it himself? Is it too much?But hasn't the emperor's family been like this since ancient times?If he moved to another place, he was afraid that his end would only be worse.

My father also attacked and killed his brother at the Xuanwu Gate, and seized power from his grandfather, but he worked hard to rule and expand the territory, and the Huayi people also respected him?As long as I can be like my father, my reputation in the history books of later generations should not be too bad, right?Thinking of this, he felt better and gradually fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Zhi was awakened from his sleep by the sound of birds singing in the yard. He did not open his eyes immediately, but silently enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility. I remembered that I used to be the boy who sat in the hall, facing peach blossoms, and reading Buddhist scriptures.

"Official!"

The eunuch's voice brought Li Zhi back from his memories, he immediately opened his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Military news from Dengzhou!"

"General Su said that all the preparations for crossing the sea have been made, and we only need to wait for the favorable wind direction; Lord Linhai has also arrived in the capital smoothly, and is ready to dispatch Xinluo soldiers to go north!"

"Yeah!" Li Zhi nodded, "Is there any news from Liaodong Road?"

"No news yet!"

Li Zhi snorted with some displeasure, Qibi Heli was in charge of Liaodong Road, this person was Tie Le Khan, he had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty when Taizong was Emperor Taizong, with outstanding achievements, he was one of the best veteran generals in the Tang Army.

This time when Emperor Gaozong sent troops, he was in charge of dispatching and commanding the Liaodong Road, but his actions were quite slow, which made Li Zhi quite dissatisfied, but he also knew the reason why he would not accept the orders of the kings outside, not to mention the dangerous roads of the Liaodong Road, and the Liao Ze, Tang Jun's slow action also makes sense.

"Can the officials issue an order to urge Duke Yi (the title of Qibi Heli)?" asked the eunuch outside.

"No need, he is a veteran left by the late emperor, and there is no need to talk too much about using troops against the enemy!" Li Zhi turned and got out of bed: "Issuing an edict, let the Jianghuai and Shandong provinces speed up shipbuilding and deliver military rations!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Baekje, Rencun Mountain City.

There is no moon in the sky, howling wolves can be heard from a distance, and crows are parked on the treetops, their scarlet eyes flash like burning charcoal. Legend has it that the eyes of this ominous bird will turn into black after eating enough human flesh. Red, like blood.

"Lang Jun, we're leaving!" Yuan Fei's teeth were shining white under the firelight.

"Well, you have to be careful!"

Wang Wenzuo doesn't like to act on a night like this, but he has no choice, darkness is the attacker's friend.The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more rugged and narrow the road is, and the stronger the Baekje castle is, every stone bullet, every spear, every piece of bread, every bundle of arrows, and every piece of wood has to pass through the falling rocks. Several kilometers of rugged mountain roads were sent up, and Tang Jun's offensive was like crossbow arrows after flying a hundred steps, becoming weaker and weaker.

"Please don't worry, sir!" Yuan Fei smiled, bowed his hands to Wang Wenzuo, turned and left, and soon their figures disappeared into the night.The night wind swirled through the bushes overhead, bringing down fallen leaves, and otherwise, everything was quiet and lifeless.But this does not dispel Wang Wenzuo's fear.What he is afraid of is not what he can see, but the murderous intent hidden in the night.

On the other side of the city wall, Black Tooth Changzhi didn't sleep either. He limped along the city wall with a short spear. There were people lying on the ground, some dead and some alive.The only difference was that the dead didn't react when touched, while the living would let out an unconscious groan when touched. He silently calculated how many people on the city wall could take up weapons.

"740 five!"

This is the number that Hei Zhi Changzhi got when he reached the end of the city wall. There were still 20 wounded in the last castle on the mountainside, and 4000 days ago there were [-] people. How many people will there be before dark tomorrow?He dare not imagine.

Black Tooth Changzhi found a corner sheltered from the wind and sat down against the city wall. This action made him groan in pain. Two days ago, he was shot in the thigh by an arrow, and the arrow penetrated the gap in the chain mail. If you hurt your bones, otherwise you will be crippled for the rest of your life.

Hei Fang Chang Zhi turned his body to avoid pressing the wound, he let out a long breath, and wanted to rest for a while before dawn, but his mind couldn't calm down: How long can he last?When will Onimuro Fukunobu come back with the army?When will it be the end of this fight?All kinds of chaotic thoughts make him unable to sleep, the war is so terrible, even if you survive, he will leave wounds on your body that will never heal, making you unable to sleep every night.
