This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

For Liu Shuyi and others, it didn't matter whether Quan Wanji could gain something from his mission. They wished Quan Wanji would return without success.

If Quan Wanji really wants to do everything, where does their ability to follow the dragon come from?

Although they are in the same camp, the internal struggle is also extremely fierce.

Besides, Liu Shuyi also needs a battle to prove that he is by no means mediocre.

Since Liu Wenjing's death, his Liu family has been silent for too long. Now, he really lacks such an opportunity.

"It's time to send out troops." Du Chuke also nodded, "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, have we ever suffered such a shame and humiliation? If we don't react at all, we will never be able to take off the label of losing power and humiliating the country."

When it comes to sending troops, everyone is extremely supportive.

"If you want to send troops, you still have to ask Xu Jingzong for his opinion. After all, he is the governor of Taohe County." Wang Renyou said quickly, "Furthermore, since the border between Tang and Ming Dynasty was blocked, Xu Jingzong has not been idle these days. , I will let him finish all the work of the Taohe County Magistrate."

When it comes to this, Wang Renyou is also quite helpless, after all, it is related to his own interests.

"This is natural." Liu Shuyi said immediately, "But Xu Jingzong is fine. Judging from his previous performance, this guy will not get involved in these things.

Just let him know. "

"Yes, Xu Jingzong is very smart." Du Chuke immediately nodded, "Besides, as the governor of Taohe County, if this matter gets serious, it will still be his problem after all, so he cannot stop it.

Of course, we can't expect him to help us much, it's impossible.

His current attitude is nothing more than sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and focusing on his political achievements. "

No one was too worried about Xu Jingzong's attitude.

At this time, plans were already being made to send troops.

But Quan Wanji remained silent. He still blamed himself. If his mission went smoothly, there would be no need to use weapons rashly.

Although Li Ke gave him the right to act expediently before leaving, if possible, he really didn't want to use force to solve the problem so early.

After all, he is a traditional scholar.

Back in Hezhou City, Liu Shuyi and others were discussing the matter of sending troops intensively.

"Although we are launching troops against the Great Zhao Royal Court this time, everyone should know that our real opponent has never been Li Yuanjing's Great Zhao Royal Court." Du Chuke said, "I still hope that you all understand this. After all, although there is only one word The difference is different, but what we are facing is completely different.”

"Of course we understand this." Liu Shuyi said, "I have heard about Daming for a long time, but I have never experienced their abilities. Speaking of which, I am particularly looking forward to it."

Du Chuke shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. If our opponent is only the Great Zhao Wangting, there is nothing to worry about. Do you understand?"

Facing the Great Zhao Royal Court, they still have confidence. Whether it is from a national level or from their own abilities, they are not afraid.

But facing Li Chengqian and the Ming Dynasty, one has to be extra careful.

"That's true. There was news before that the Ming Dynasty's Chuhe Army has stationed in the Imperial Palace of Zhao. In addition, Wan Qipu has been here for a long time. Once we send out troops, we will definitely face these proud and powerful generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Don’t forget, Ming Dynasty has never been defeated in these years. "

Wang Renyou is still a little worried. If he wins this battle, there is no need to say anything, but what if he loses? For them, that's not something they can bear.

Hearing this, Liu Shuyi didn't say a word. He was the marching director of Taohe County and could use troops, but if he really got off to a bad start, he would be even more annoyed than the current situation.

"So, don't be careless in this battle." Du Chuke also nodded with deep understanding, "I don't know who Duke Lu wants to be the vanguard?"

"Li Junxian." Regarding this, Liu Shuyi did not hide anything and said directly, "Although this person did not show a clear position, he is indeed a fierce general, especially in Taohe County."

He had no doubt about Li Junxian's ability. Speaking of which, Li Junxian was also a famous general who had been famous for a long time. It was just that in the early Tang Dynasty, there were too many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, which overshadowed his talent.

To be honest, Li Junxian's qualifications are much better than them.

Let's put it this way, Li Er held a banquet in Chang'an, whether they had a seat or not, Li Junxian definitely had a seat.

"General Li is indeed brave, but his position is not clear. If he really goes to the battlefield, it will not be a good thing for us if he falls to that person." Wang Renyou said worriedly.

"There is no need to worry about this Wang Juncheng." Liu Shuyi smiled when he heard this, "Regardless of General Li's position and who his heart is, nominally speaking, the troops sent this time are not aimed at anyone, but just to defend our country of the Tang Dynasty. glory.

As a veteran general, General Lee knows the difference clearly. "

"Yes, there is really no need to worry in this regard." Du Chuke also nodded with deep understanding and said, "As long as he goes to the battlefield, General Li will know what he should do."

Seeing them all saying this, Wang Renyou didn't say much.

After discussing the specific marching arrangements, Liu Shuyi took the lead to leave and went straight to Taozhou.

Without him, he would still have to communicate with Xu Jingzong before dispatching troops this time.

After he left, Wang Renyou and Du Chuke did not sit idle, but sent someone to notify the representatives of the noble clan.

Everyone in Ming Dynasty knew that a big battle was about logistics, so why didn’t they know that?

And just as they were raising money and food, Liu Shuyi quickly rushed to the Taozhou County Sheriff's Mansion.

Without any mincing words, Liu Shuyi directly stated their thoughts.

After hearing what he said, Xu Jingzong looked shocked. In fact, he had already thought of this result. He pretended to ponder for a moment and then said: "Has the matter become so bad? As the governor of Taohe County, this It’s my fault.”

"The Sheriff's words are serious." Liu Shuyi said with a smile, "Who in Taohe County doesn't know that the Sheriff is dedicated to his work. Without the Sheriff's hard work day and night over the years, how would Taohe County be as prosperous as it is today?

It's just that the incident at Zhao Wangting happened too suddenly. The county governor was seriously ill at that time, which allowed his villain to succeed.

But since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when have we ever suffered such shame and humiliation? "

Nodding, Xu Jingzong said: "Indeed, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has been so coercive throughout the country that a small imperial court of Zhao dares to humiliate the Tang Dynasty like this!

As an official of the Tang Dynasty, how can I just sit back and watch?

The Duke of Lu is only responsible for mobilizing troops, and I will report to the court. "

Just as Liu Shuyi and others expected, Xu Jingzong would not stop it.

He would even add fuel to the flames.

After all, in terms of justice, he should and must do this. Just like Li Junxian, they are officials of the Tang Dynasty after all. Defending the glory of the Tang Dynasty is not only their responsibility, but at least it is what they should do.

"With the words of the county governor, I feel more at ease." Liu Shuyi immediately smiled.

After the two discussed the matter for some time, Liu Shuyi left and went straight to the military camp.

But Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Is the drama finally about to begin?"

"Lang Jun, although this time we are using troops against Zhao, who doesn't know who is behind the Zhao court? In this case, will that person be angry with Lang Jun?" asked the old servant beside him.

Xu Jingzong smiled and shook his head, saying: "It doesn't matter, no one will pierce the window paper now. In the end, this battle, no matter who it is fought with, is nominally between the Tang Dynasty and the Zhao Dynasty. It’s just a fight between the two. No, to be precise, it’s not with the Imperial Court of Zhao, but with the restored Tuyuhun.”

At this point, Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "Hey, they are all smart people."

"Then what do we need to do?" the old servant asked.

Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said: "No, fighting is the business of Lu Guogong and others, we just need to do our job well.

Remember, when we are not 100% sure, our biggest reliance is political performance. "

On this point, he saw clearly.

On the other side, Liu Shuyi beat the gathering drum after returning to the military camp.

As the first military person in Taohe County, all Zhechong Mansion under Taohe County is under his control.

And when the gathering drum sounded, the military camp suddenly became tense.

Li Junxian directly guessed the reason, and now he walked into Liu Shuyi's Chinese army tent rather helplessly.

"Everyone must know that not long ago, the imperial court of the Great Zhao Dynasty drove away the merchants of the Tang Dynasty and robbed the people of the Tang Dynasty of their money and food. When did I, the great Tang Dynasty, suffer such humiliation?

Today, I, the general, have discussed with our Taohe County governor, county magistrate and others to send troops soon to defend the glory of our Tang Dynasty! "

"General, the last general is asking for a fight!" As soon as they heard this, people immediately asked for a fight.

Regardless of whether you are willing or not, the attitude of being happy to hear the war must be shown.

Even Li Junxian is like this.

Liu Shuyi nodded with satisfaction, then picked up an order arrow and said: "Wang Li, who joined the army, obeyed the order and sent an order to the seven Zhechong Mansion under the rule of Taohe County. Within two days, they should obey the order in front of the tent. Anyone who fails to show up on time will be killed!"

"The last general takes orders." Wang Shenjun heard this and quickly stepped forward to take the order arrow, turned around and went to deliver the order.

"Vice-General Li Junxian obeys the order. He will prepare the army immediately and prepare troops at the border. Be ready to send troops at any time..."

"The last general takes orders..."

Liu Shuyi made a lot of arrangements in one breath, but whether he should say it or not, he finally missed the point.

In the final analysis, apart from his identity, he is slightly lacking in experience and ability.

Of course, none of this actually matters.

Everyone actually knows that this battle is just a test by the people behind them.

To put it bluntly, they are just spokespersons.

Two days later, when all the troops from Zhechong Prefecture under Taohe County gathered in Hezhou, Liu Shuyi finally ordered the army to go out.

Li Junxian, who received the military order, sighed and bravely led his army straight to the royal court of Zhao Dynasty.

Not far away, Wan Qipu had been waiting for him for a long time.

Ever since Quan Wanji left the Imperial Court of Great Zhao, they had been on guard against the Tang Dynasty sending troops, so Wanqi Pu had been stationed here for a few days.

"General, it was indeed Li Junxian who led the troops." Immediately, a scout came to report.

Hearing this, Wan Qipu took a deep breath and said, "Give me the order. This time is different from before. Before, the most we did was test each other. Although there were occasional casualties, they were all within control. But this time It’s different, if someone covets His Highness’s things, they will fight to the death!”

"Don't worry, General." Hearing this, his subordinates were not worried at all and said with a smile, "I have fought with people like Li Junxian a few times before. Are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty nothing more than this?"

"But that's it?" When Wan Qipu heard this, he looked back at him and sneered, "You have to know that Li Junxian ranks at least in the twenties among the Tang army. Do you think the Tang soldiers are nothing more than that? ?

Don’t underestimate the world!

The battle of life and death is different from our previous battles. "

Although Wanqi Pu is reckless, he is not stupid.

He and Li Junxian had often competed in Da Zhao territory before. Although they both had their own victories and defeats, in the final analysis, he still took advantage of his status. Wan Qi Pu was actually not sure about a real fight.

At this moment, Li Junxian's army was already standing on the border, and within a hundred steps at most, they were out of the Tang Dynasty.

If he had a telescope, he could even clearly see Wanqi Pu on the opposite side.

"General, is Duke Lu deliberately trying to trick us?" At this moment, seeing Li Junxian stop moving forward, a soldier beside him asked.

"How can he be the one who can trick me?" Li Junxian shook his head and said, "This general just doesn't understand why there is no order from His Majesty so far?"

He couldn't understand.

It stands to reason that his attitude is very clear and he is a firm royalist.

Moreover, Taohe County was originally appointed together with Yuchi Jingde. Now, everyone who is willing to leave has left, but he was left behind?

At first, he thought Li Er had another important role, but now, with the war about to break out, Li Er still had no intention, which puzzled him.

Taking a deep breath, Li Junxian forced down the confusion in his heart, and then said: "Send the order to the army, the Imperial Court of Zhao has insulted the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and its imperial edict must be destroyed!

send troops! "

After giving the order, thousands of soldiers and horses roared out.

As soldiers, they obey orders and don't really care who they beat.

On the other side, when Wan Qipu saw this scene, he also looked serious and said: "The Tang Dynasty is coming, all the soldiers, follow me to meet the enemy!"

After saying that, Wanqi Pu also rushed out.

He knew very well that this was the real contest between Tang Ming.

This battle was particularly important for both their Highness and the man from Chang'an, and no one could afford to be careless.

Without any hesitation, a burst of bows and arrows flew straight towards Li Junxian.

As for Li Junxian, the situation is actually similar. In the past, the fight between the two sides was restricted by conditions, but now it is different. Each has his own master, and the fight will last forever.

At the same time, Liu Shuyi led the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture under Taohe County and they were not idle. They bypassed Hezhou and planned to enter the royal court of Zhao Dynasty from Taozhou.

For a time, war raged on the territory of the Great Zhao Royal Court!
