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

Thousands of miles away, Gaozhou.

When Xu Jingzong's memorial was transferred from Chang'an to Li Shimin's hands, Li Shimin was happy.

"After waiting for so long, they finally did the right thing."

For Li Er, Liu Shuyi had long expected to send troops to attack Zhao Wangting. His only regret was that it was delayed until today, which made him quite dissatisfied.

Under the main hall, Changsun Wuji also smiled and said: "I did do the right thing, but after all, I was a little indecisive. I have humiliated the Tang Dynasty. How can I, as a border army guard, sit back and watch the people of the Tang Dynasty like this?" Have you been humiliated like this?"

Changsun Wuji naturally understood Li Er, and knew that Li Er was actually extremely dissatisfied with the reaction of Liu Shuyi and others.

If it weren't for Li Er's brother Li Chengqian taking the exam, and this kind of thing happened to him, when he learned that the Imperial Court of Zhao was expelling the Tang Dynasty, Li Er would have sent troops out of the Zhao Dynasty and would not have said much to the Zhao Dynasty at all.

Li Er also nodded and said: "From this aspect, this Liu Shuyi is indeed a bit indecisive. If he really insults the power of the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely not be able to spare him!"

For Li Er, Datang's face is the most important thing.

"But this time, Liu Shuyi made Li Junxian miserable." Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "Li Junxian originally didn't want to take sides so early, but with Liu Shuyi's troubles, Li Junxian may have no choice."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji also looked at Li Er carefully. He also wanted to know Li Er's attitude towards Li Junxian.

He still cares about Li Junxian very much. When he was in Taohe County, he and Li Junxian had a decent relationship. If he could help him at this time, it would definitely be a help in times of need.

Hearing this, Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji meaningfully, and then said: "Li Junxian's baby name is Wu Niangzi, right?"

Upon hearing Li Er's question, Changsun Wuji quickly recalled it in his mind. After a while, he finally figured out the reason and understood it immediately.

This is because of the prophecy back then, Li Er had thoughts about Li Junxian.

The reason why Li Junxian was not transferred back this time was probably to borrow a knife to kill people.

As early as a few years ago, the Taibai Star appeared repeatedly during the day. At that time, some historians observed the sky at night and concluded through divination that this was a sign of the Queen's accession to the throne.

Not only that, there are also rumors among the people that after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, a female protagonist, King Wu, took her place and stole the Li family dynasty.

What is more coincidental is that at that time, Li Junxian's official position was General Zuo Wuwei, the title of Duke of Wulian County, and the title of Wu'an.

Now that he thinks about his nickname, Wu Niangzi, how could Changsun Wuji not understand Li Er's thoughts.

At that moment, he understood that Li Junxian's decision would not end well.

Li Er wanted to use Li Chengqian's help to deal with Li Junxian, who might be a threat to Datang.

Not to mention, this kind of operation is quite clever.

After all, Li Junxian himself had no major faults, and he had made great military exploits at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty and during the Li Er Xuanwu Sect's revolution.

If Li Junxian was attacked just because of a prophecy, it would still be somewhat chilling.

If Li Chengqian can be used to deal with Li Junxian this time, it will definitely be the best choice for Li Er.

After understanding this truth, Changsun Wuji pretended to be confused and said, "Really? I think Li Junxian is also a fierce general, so his nickname is quite surprising."

Naturally, he would not act like he had known it for a long time. He still had this kind of political wisdom.

"Yes, a good man, he actually has such a nickname? When I first heard about it, I was quite surprised." Li Er smiled, but didn't say much.

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he understood that Li Er didn't want to waste time talking about Li Junxian, so he naturally stopped mentioning it.

At that moment, Changsun Wuji changed the subject and asked: "Although Liu Shuyi and the others sent troops this time, judging from Xu Jingzong's memorial, the Ming Dynasty's Chuhe Army rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and assisted Murong Shun in rebuilding Tuyuhun.

There are only seven Zhechong Mansion under Liu Shuyi's command. With their strength, they may not be able to withstand it. "

What he said was true.

Taohe County's military strength is indeed only like this. If Liu Shuyi were replaced by Yuchi Jingde, he would be able to fight. After all, Yuchi Jingde's personal ability is not comparable to Liu Shuyi's.

In addition, Yuchi Jingde's prestige in the army was not comparable to Liu Shuyi's.

When Li Er heard this, he also nodded and said: "Indeed, compared to his father, Liu Shuyi is indeed far behind, and the military strength of Taohe County is definitely no match for the Shuhe Army. It is time to think of a way for them."

Li Er still had a very clear understanding of Liu Shuyi's abilities. If he really had a great talent, he would have promoted him long ago.

How could he let it go until now?

Just like Ma Zhou, although he was not of high origin, he was really capable. How could Li Er leave him with nothing to do?

"I heard that Duke Yun is now in full bloom. He has five hundred fake sons. He really shines on his family." At this moment, Li Er suddenly said this.

Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded. What did this sudden mention of Zhang Liang mean?

This time when he went south, Li Er did not bring Zhang Liang. With this person suddenly mentioned, could it be that Li Er also had some thoughts about Zhang Liang?

Just when he was confused, Li Er smiled and said: "For such a big family, I'm worried that his salary won't be able to support such a big government.

If there really is a joke that the Duke of Yun's mansion has too many heirs to support, my face will be disgraced.

In this way, the decree was issued to appoint Yun Guogong as the chief military officer of Longyou Road and let him take office immediately. In any case, one more position also means one more salary, right? "

Hearing what Li Er said, Changsun Wuji broke into cold sweat.

Only now did he understand why Li Er allowed Li Ke and Li Chengqian to quarrel. This was a way to cleanse some uneasy factors in the court.

A duke, a fake man worth five hundred, what do you Zhang Liang want to do?

However, as the founding hero of the country, Li Er is not willing to attack Zhang Liang without any evidence. Now, I will throw you into the maelstrom of Longyou. As Longyou's marching general manager, the Tang army If you are embarrassed, then of course there will be ways to manipulate you.

But if you want to defend the glory of the Tang Dynasty, you will inevitably face Li Chengqian's army, and Li Chengqian will naturally find a way to deal with you.

He didn't do anything about his feelings, and all these guys who were not conducive to the court were solved by him in a subtle way.

He has not yet gained the reputation of killing Zhongliang.

At this point, he had to be convinced.

Li Er's methods are much better than his.

"What your Majesty said is true. I will draw up the decree now." Changsun Wuji also smiled and said, "With Yun Guogong, the founding general of the country, sitting in Longyou, he must be impeccable." When he said this, Changsun Wuji He deeply felt that being with a king is like being with a tiger, but he had no friendship with Zhang Liang. Let alone no friendship, even if he had, he wouldn't say anything.

After all, what does the life and death of these guys have to do with him?

He wanted to help Li Junxian before, but it turned out that Li Er was determined to kill Li Junxian. Didn't he even give a shit?

This is politics. Politics never talks about human feelings, only about interests.

At this time, the Great Zhao Wangting.

Li Junxian, who lost the first battle, was being scolded by Liu Shuyi.

Without him, Wan Qi Pu's night attack destroyed all the gunpowder bombs in Li Junxian's army, which was more helpless than burning down their grain depot.

After all, they have no shortage of food for the time being. The nobles are transporting large amounts of food to Taohe County through various channels. In addition, the country and the people have been peaceful and the weather has been good these years, so the Tang Dynasty really has no shortage of food.

But they just lacked gunpowder.

The rations for this thing are all limited.

Just like the Zhechong Mansion under his rule, there was not a trace of it. Almost all the gunpowder bombs in Taohe County were in the hands of the army directly under Liu Shuyi. In the end, Li Junxian was completely defeated in a battle. How could he not be angry?

Li Junxian didn't quibble. What's there to quibble about?

What's wrong is wrong, that's a fact.

"This is the general's mistake. No matter how the general handles it, the general will never complain. Even if he is dismissed on the spot and sent to jail to serve, the general will accept it happily." Li Junxian is very single. For him, this is actually Not a bad thing.

If he could get out of this vortex, he would be really happy.

But when Liu Shuyi heard what he said, he became very angry and suddenly said: "Did General Li do this on purpose? If General Li hadn't suddenly led an army to attack at night, how could Wan Qipu find the right time to burn down the camp?"

At this moment, he really thought so.

What a coincidence.

If Li Junxian had not attacked at night, as long as the army was in the camp, even Wan Qi Pu's night attack would have resulted in casualties at most. With the army in the camp, Wan Qi Pu could have set fire to the camp and then detonated the gunpowder magazine. , then it’s a ghost.

The key is that the gunpowder depot itself should not be all in the camp, but Li Junxian brought it specially at the beginning of the war, saying that it was difficult to compete with the Ming Dynasty's ordnance without the power of gunpowder.

At that time, Liu Shuyi also felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

But who would have known that not long after, news came that Wanqi Pu had attacked the camp at night and the gunpowder magazine had been taken away.

At that moment, Liu Shuyi couldn't understand why Li Junxian had no reason to attack the enemy camp at night!

He is not Li Ke's man, so there is no reason for him to work so hard.

Hearing Liu Shuyi's words, Li Junxian suddenly became furious and immediately became angry: "The general can rebuke the general for being incompetent, but what's the point of slandering the general like this?

It is true that the general fell into the enemy's scheme. It can be said that the general did it deliberately. Please explain clearly! "

He himself is not afraid of Liu Shuyi.

Except for his slight shortcomings in official positions, Liu Shuyi really can't compare with him?

Besides, Liu Shuyi just took advantage of his father. How capable is he himself that can compare with him?

Liu Shuyi didn't panic at the moment. After thinking about it, he said with an apologetic expression: "It's my general who made a mistake. I hope General Li won't be blamed. In the final analysis, it's also because of the impact of this defeat on our country, the Tang Dynasty." too big."

Hearing what he said, Li Junxian was a little stunned. He didn't expect Liu Shuyi to be so easy to talk to.

But Liu Shuyi's next words made him dumbfounded.

"But now that the war is coming, General Li's defeat has caused our Tang Dynasty to lose its best fighting opportunity. As for the pursuit of responsibility, that is the matter of the court and your Majesty." Liu Shuyi said with a smile, "In addition, now At this time of employment, I also ask General Li to put the overall situation first.

Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of Taohe County's march, General has an unshirkable responsibility for this defeat, and General Li must not worry about it. "

In short, he was going to blow it off.

Regardless of whether Li Junxian did it intentionally or not, he did not intend to pursue it. In the final analysis, Li Junxian could not escape from this battle.

This disappointed Li Junxian. He wanted to get out of this whirlpool, but Liu Shuyi refused at all. As a soldier, he had no right to refuse.

And at the same time.

In the Tang Dynasty, nobles such as King Cui Lu and Zheng also gradually began to exert their strength.

They used their huge power to write a big book about the expulsion of the Zhao royal court from the Tang Dynasty, and even added fuel to the fire, saying that in Zhao, those soldiers did not regard the Tang people as human beings at all, and wantonly plundered their wealth and murdered their lives. .

For a time, the news spread throughout Datang.

Countless people talked about the Imperial Court of Great Zhao, and all of them expressed their expressions of change.

Countless scholars also requested the imperial court to send troops through various channels.

Of course, they didn't know that Datang had actually sent troops.

However, these were not the real reasons for the Shi family. Just when this matter had spread, another news came out.

"Did you hear about it? Those guys who committed crimes in the Zhao royal court were all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that they were still the resentful army that became famous in the first battle." On the streets of Chang'an, someone started to discuss in a low voice.

"Isn't your information out of date?" Someone said, "My cousin's father-in-law's brother-in-law's nephew's uncle is doing business in the Imperial Court of Da Zhao. I heard from him that the people who committed crimes in the Imperial Court of Da Zhao were not just the Ming Dynasty's resentful troops. Or Wan Qi Pu from the Resentful Army?"

Seeing that everyone seemed unaware of Wan Qipu, the man added, "He was the resentful general who represented the Ming Dynasty as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. He also had a battle with General Su Dingfang."

"Good fellow, it's actually him?" Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately stunned. "Isn't this Daming a paradise for merchants? Moreover, King Ming of Daming is still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. How could he kill the people of the Tang Dynasty like this?"

"Don't you understand this?" Someone immediately asked, "The Ming Dynasty is now a country that is not weaker than the Tang Dynasty. How can they still like the Tang Dynasty? In addition, under its rule there are almost nine Chengdu is a foreigner, and our prince will never come back."

"Why can't you come back?" someone asked in confusion.

"That man's subordinates are all foreigners, and there are only a few Han ministers. When that man comes back, the court will be filled with foreigners. Are you willing?"

After hearing what he said, everyone nodded in agreement.

Although there are always some officials above them, they can still accept it if these officials are from the Tang Dynasty. Occasionally, it is not impossible to have one or two foreign officials.

But if these foreign masters compete too much, then they won't be willing.

Of course, this is just the guidance of public opinion.

Needless to say, the war of public opinion has a long history, and it was even more common in China’s civilization a few years ago.

It can only be said that the ancients have always lagged behind only in technology, but in terms of wisdom, the ancients have never lagged behind.
