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

Chapter 773: The Five Great Zhaos Collapse!

Some things are actually hard for them to say.

Why did Zhang Liang die in battle?

If they didn't understand it at first, how could they not understand it now?
Obviously, this was a tacit understanding between father and son Li Chengqian and Li Er. As for the Liu Shuyi brothers, they were just the rewards Li Chengqian received for Li Er's work.

Of course, this is just their understanding.

After all, information is not equal, and it is normal for there to be differences in perceptions of the situation.

To be honest, whether it is Li Er or Li Chengqian, the things they do actually have their own purposes.

But for the sake of His Holiness, these things are not something they can express openly.

"That's not the problem now." Wang Renyou shook his head and said, "Now that Murong Shun has returned to the country, no matter what the reasons and purposes behind him are, on the surface, Tuyuhun has indeed returned to the country.

As the west gate of the Tang Dynasty, should we consider how to deal with this new friend of the Tang Dynasty? "

"Wang Juncheng is right." Quan Wanji nodded when he heard this and said, "The reason and purpose of Murong Shun's restoration of the country is indeed not what we should consider. Now that Murong Shun has restored the country, then we should consider it It is the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Moreover, is Murong Shun really willing to lie dormant under others forever? "

He actually had the same thoughts as Li Yuanjing.

In the past, Murong Shun wanted nothing, and it may have destroyed his ambitions in the past, but now, Li Chengqian has given him the opportunity to restore his country, and it is extremely difficult to explain all this clearly.

Ambition can be cultivated.

Obviously, Quan Wanji's intention was to arouse Murong Shun's ambition, so that Li Chengqian's efforts would be in vain.

This can be regarded as a method. At least at this stage, it is still a method with a high probability of success.

On the other side, Li Yuanjing was embarrassed now.

Li Chengqian had intended to put him in the middle of the conflict before, but as a result, this guy went against the will and handed over the stall to Shusun Hai and others, and then he became a hands-off shopkeeper and watched the show.

Obviously, his behavior angered Li Chengqian, so Li Chengqian directly asked Wan Qipu and Murong Shun to completely hand over the agreement back then without any notification.

If Li Yuanjing dared to refuse at that time, Wan Qipu might have used force to take over everything. Li Yuanjing actually knew this.

This is also the reason why Li Yuanjing handed over the job so simply.

He also didn't want to offend Li Chengqian at this time, as the gain would outweigh the loss.

However, with the transfer of political power, Li Yuanjing was embarrassed at this moment.

It is more or less inappropriate to continue to stay here.

If he doesn't stay here, would he dare to go back to Datang?
From the moment he established himself as king, he was no longer the vassal king of the Tang Dynasty. If he went back now, the best destination would be to be imprisoned for life. This was not the result he wanted.

If this were to be the case, all his hard work these past few years would have been in vain, and he would even become the laughing stock of many feudal kings. How could this make him, the head of the Tang Dynasty feudal kings, feel so embarrassed?
"Your Highness, how about we go south to Riyue Mountain?" While Li Yuanjing looked confused, Lin Zhou said with a smile on his face.

For him, not fighting is naturally the best outcome.

Whether facing the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, he was not sure.

Over the years, the Zhao royal court has been a waste in the military field. There were more than 3,000 troops and horses in the past, but now there are more troops, but only six or seven thousand troops.

But can these few soldiers and horses resist the Ming Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty?
So the most relaxed person at the moment is him. Of course, even he has his own purpose at the moment.

He knew very well that he could not go back to the Tang Dynasty. Even if he went back, his future would be bleak.

Only the Ming Dynasty is the hope for his career.

But when Li Yuanjing heard the words, he didn't say a word.

Whether he was the vassal king of the Tang Dynasty or the king of the Zhao Dynasty, it was impossible for him to go to Riyue Mountain like this.

If Li Chengqian was in Riyue Mountain right now, he could go, but now that Li Chengqian is not here, what's the point of him going to Riyue Mountain?
Putting aside the embarrassment or not, just because Li Chengqian was not in Riyue Mountain, he suddenly went to Riyue Mountain, which could easily be misunderstood.

Seeing that Li Yuanjing remained silent, Gu Jianzhang suddenly said: "Your Highness, how about we go south and go straight to the southern expedition camp of King Ming?

After all, we have thousands of soldiers and horses, so we can be considered as supporting King Ming as he goes south, right?

Moreover, King Ming had promised His Highness that the five tribes of Tianzhu..."

Li Yuanjing's eyes lit up when he heard Gu Jianzhang's words. Indeed, it was inconvenient for him to go to Riyue Mountain, especially with thousands of his troops, which would inevitably cause misunderstandings.

But going south to support Li Chengqian in his southern expedition was a good choice.

Moreover, once he captured the five Tianzhus, he could also take advantage of the trend and move south.

"It's just that we didn't make the agreement with Daming well before. Daming..." Li Yuanjing was still a little worried.

After all, before, he really had the idea of ​​sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and wanted to benefit from it. Now he still wants Li Chengqian to fulfill his promise. It's not that he is not so shameless. The key is that he is worried that Li Chengqian will fall out.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry." Gu Jianzhang smiled when he heard this, "For Prince Ming to achieve what he has today, he must be a smart man, and he will definitely not make a small sacrifice because of such a trivial matter.

Moreover, at this juncture, King Ming also needs allies. Speaking of which, as long as His Highness does not harm Ming's interests, King Ming can actually accept it.

Of course, it may be even more difficult for His Highness to make a difference in Tianzhu in the future!

Perhaps, King Ming will restrict His Highness's future development in all aspects.

Even the soldiers and horses under General Lin..."

Even though Gu Jianzhang didn't say it clearly, Li Yuanjing still understood it. In the future, even if he went to the Five Tianzhus to develop, he would probably have to start all over again.

It was impossible for Li Chengqian to allow him to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to gallop through the five regions of Tianzhu.

Of course, Gu Jianzhang was actually preparing for himself. He was unwilling to follow Li Yuanjing to the Five Tianzhus and start over again. However, as an old minister of Li Yuanjing, if Li Yuanjing was not vaccinated, it would be difficult for him to stay.

It's not that he betrayed Li Yuanjing. To be honest, if he could follow Li Yuanjing until today, there would be no betrayal.

The main reason is that if Li Chengqian lets Li Yuanjing develop in Tianzhu, he will have to guard against Li Yuanjing.

It is impossible for Li Chengqian to let Li Yuanjing take him, Linzhou and these people away. The most likely possibility is that Li Chengqian personally arranges some people for them.

Gu Jianzhang didn't want to have any quarrel with Li Yuanjing because of this matter.

Of course, if you say it's disgusting, that's not the case.

But when he followed Li Yuanjing to the northwest, who didn't want to make great achievements, and who didn't want to achieve great things?
Looking at the people like Zhao Yan, they are now prosperous. Even the merchants who they looked down upon in the past have now become the most respected people. It would be unbelievable to say that they have no idea at all.

"That's it. The prophet will inform the Ming Dynasty. In a few days, I will lead the army south to help the Ming Dynasty." Li Yuanjing sighed and said.

When he said these words, he was already ready to go to Tianzhu alone. Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong. No matter how mean Li Chengqian was, he couldn't really let him hang out in Tianzhu alone. He would still send some people to him or leave some people for him.

Moreover, Tianzhu must have been classified as Ming Dynasty territory by then, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Let's put it this way, except for Li Chengqian who wants his life, it is probably difficult for him to die even if he wants to.

Besides, didn't Li Chengqian also achieve such great achievements when he traveled to the northwest alone?

Li Yuanjing, who never felt inferior to others, really didn't take this seriously.

Li Yuanjing, who has made a decision, is still very efficient.

The next day, news that he was preparing to rush to aid the Ming Dynasty reached Wanqi Pu's camp.

Wanqi Pu did not say much, but just sent the message back to Sun Moon Mountain again.

This is not his business.

Two days later, Riyue Mountain.

When Pu Xiluo and others received the news, they were also stunned.

Qibi Heli, who was returning to the court, smiled and said: "This King Zhao is not as stupid as the rumors say? At this time, it is not appropriate for him to stay where he is or come to Riyue Mountain.

Not to mention, heading south to help His Highness is the most suitable place for him. "

"Hmph." Yi Yuanfeng snorted disdainfully after hearing this and said, "This guy, that is, the two ends, if his position in the battle with Datang had been clearer, how could he be what he is today?
To put it bluntly, as long as he had been firmer that day, he would not have been unable to come to Sun Moon Mountain today!

If you really want to talk about it, he has to blame himself! "

"What you said is quite simple." Yi Yuanxi smiled when he heard this, "He is a king, not ordinary people like us. It is common sense that we cannot resist the temptation of power.

Moreover, he is quite smart, at least on this matter, he is not confused. "

"Is he guilty of being confused?" Yi Yuanfeng heard this and said disdainfully, "He is guilty of something. I guess Wanqi Pu is really hoping that he is guilty of it."

What he said was correct. Wan Qipu was probably waiting for Li Yuanjing to get confused.

He had not made much contribution in the previous battle, but if he could capture Li Yuanjing now, he would definitely be willing to do so.

"Nonsense!" Pu Xiruo heard this and said quickly, "No matter what, he is His Highness's uncle, how can he do such nonsense?"

Even though Pu Xiluo's words were a little heavy-handed, if something like that really happened, that would not be what he said.

"Just talking casually." Iharafeng said with a smile.

"What should we do this time? Let him pass?" Yi Yuanxi asked.

Wang Xuance, who had been silent until now, smiled and said: "Why refuse?

In the final analysis, this matter is actually harmless to me, Daming.

If we really want to say who was hurt, maybe it hurt the Tang Dynasty more than me, the Ming Dynasty, right?

The vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty would rather not go back but rush to aid the Ming Dynasty. No matter how righteous this is, we have not lost.

If King Zhao is really allowed to make a difference in Tianzhu, wouldn't it be more beneficial to His Highness when he returns to the Tang Dynasty in the future?
As for the previous unhappiness, is it important? "

Is it important?
This sentence made everyone stunned.

Yes, is it important?

What everyone is playing is politics, and temporary gains and losses really don’t matter.

Soon, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and agreed.

Of course, at the same time, they also quickly sent the news to Li Chengqian.

Not long after, Li Yuanjing led thousands of his troops and left Tuyuhun in a mighty manner, stepping into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone who originally thought that Li Yuanjing would return to Tang Dynasty at this time was shocked.

"King Zhao is going all the way to the dark side!" Du Chuke shook his head with emotion.

In fact, they all understood that Li Er was hurt the most when Li Yuanjing did this.

It was even more difficult for Li Er to accept than Li Yuanjing handing over Zhao Wangting to Li Chengqian.

But in this case, Li Yuanjing might not be able to return to the Tang Dynasty in this life.

"Let's not mention this anymore. Is Geng Guogong arriving soon?" Quan Wanji asked suddenly, not caring about Li Yuanjing's decision.

Speaking of Feng An, everyone also looked helpless.

Speaking of which, this is all due to their incompetence, otherwise how could they attract Feng An?
"We are almost there. According to the news sent by the horse, Duke Geng and his party will arrive at Taohe County this evening." Wang Renyou said immediately, "I heard that our county guard is ready to welcome Duke Geng."

"That old man Xu Jingzong is quite a thief. When he found out that Feng An was sent by His Majesty, his reaction was different."

As he said that, Du Chuke glanced at Quan Wanji, as if to remind Quan Wanji, look, when you first came here, that old guy Xu Jingzong didn't move at all?
Quan Wanji didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Everyone in Chang'an knows who Commander Xu is, and arguing with him will make you angry to death."

He had too much trust in Xu Jingzong's character.

Really, with a person like this, if you try to be serious with him, you will be angry to death sooner or later.

Moreover, he is not a person who cares about appearances. Relatively speaking, Quan Wanji is the most pragmatic one among these people.

"Then when Duke Geng comes, should we go and greet him?" Du Chuke also asked with a tangled look on his face.

Without him, Xu Jingzong told them, but they and Xu Jingzong were not the same people, so they had not yet made a decision.

The most important thing is that Duke Geng is here to deal with the captured soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They are still somewhat disgraced.

After all, if they hadn't bothered, Datang would not have lost such a big person. Speaking of which, they still felt a little guilty.

"Let's go there." Quan Wanji said, "Although Duke Geng is good friends with Master Wei, he rarely participates in these things. As for the shame, it is our problem, so why should we be afraid of shame?"

Quan Wanji actually understands their thoughts.

As we all know, the person Feng An admired the most in the court was Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng was a staunch princeling, so it was normal for them to hesitate.

Of course, as Quan Wanji said, although Feng Ang believed in Wei Zheng, he was extremely cautious on the matter of establishing the heir apparent. He had never even expressed his position on this matter, even if Feng Zhidai was concerned about this matter. Keep silent.
