I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 141 The Shock of Wu King Li Ke

"Your Highness, it's not a question of whether you dare or not, but they have already rebelled."

Wang Hao bowed and replied.

"Father."

"Do you need me to leave for Youzhou immediately to guard it?"

"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this is the duty of a minister."

"My son, it is my duty to do so."

Li Keleke said.

"Before Wang Hao reported the war in Youzhou, I made a bet with Li Zheng."

"We asked him to stay in Chang'an and serve as the Minister of War, but this guy is unwilling and insists on going to the battlefield."

Li Shimin said with some amusement.

It could be heard that there was a sulky resentment in his tone.

"General Li, you have failed your father's kindness."

Li Ke smiled and said to Li Zheng.

But deep down in my heart, I felt a kind of admiration for Li Zheng.

It is rare for him to be able to resist such temptation.

No wonder Li Zheng was able to go from a small soldier to the youngest returning general of the Ming Dynasty in just one year.

"Your Majesty does have good intentions, but I care about my brothers Paoze, and I still want to go into battle with my brothers to kill the enemy. Although Chang'an City is peaceful, it is not suitable for me."

Li Zheng smiled.

"I wonder what my father and General Li bet about?"

Li Ke asked curiously again.

"He insisted that there would be a war in Youzhou. We didn't believe it, so we made a bet with him."

"Then Wang Hao came over to report that there was a war in Youzhou."

Li Shimin said helplessly.

Hear this.

Li Ke was stunned.

Wang Hao was also stunned.

"No wonder the emperor had that problem just now. His relationship was because of Li Zheng."

Wang Hao secretly said.

"General Li, are you a celestial being?"

"You actually predicted that there would be war in Youzhou in advance? What is the basis for this?"

"The Xue Yantuo tribe has been surrendering to me, the Tang Dynasty, for the past two years and has never shown any dissent."

Li Ke asked with a shocked look on his face.

Li Zheng smiled and said with a sense of confidence:

"Because of DTZ."

"DTZ was defeated by you, and the two Khans were either captured or killed. Can it still affect the Xue Yantuo tribe?"

"In the beginning, it was because the DTZ royal court was still there and its power was still very strong. Xue Yantuo didn't dare to do anything to me, the Tang Dynasty. Now that DTZ is destroyed, how can they dare?"

Li Ke was still very puzzled.

Li Shimin also watched quietly.

To be honest, he was a little confused about this situation.

"Your Majesty should know that the DTZ Royal Court was destroyed, leaving two forces remaining in Mobei. When DTZ was powerful, Xue Yantuo's tribe was sandwiched between the powerful Tang Dynasty and DTZ. Naturally, he did not dare to make any changes. "

"Now that DTZ has been destroyed, the remaining forces no longer pose a threat to Xue Yantuo. As the same grassland nation, Xue Yantuo's family is now the dominant one in the northeast, and the remnants of DTZ may form an alliance with Xue Yantuo. In this way, Xue Yantuo is the new grassland nation. The overlord must take action against the Tang Dynasty."

"That's why."

Li Zheng said with a smile.

"I see."

"It turns out that it was caused by the collusion between the Turkic remnants."

Li Shimin nodded suddenly.

But then.

There was also a cold look in his eyes, full of murderous intent.

"We will never allow those bastards who surrender and rebel again."

"Xue Yantuo's tribe doesn't need to exist anymore."

"They only deserve to be slaves."

Li Shimin's eyes were full of sternness.

"Your Majesty is holy."

Wang Hao said immediately.

"Where are the 50,000 troops mobilized from Jinyang now?"

Li Shimin asked suppressing his anger.

"Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the Ministry of War, the Jinyang Army can enter Youzhou within ten days."

Wang Hao replied. "Let the Youzhou garrison defend to the death."

"Let the Jinyang army speed up its mobilization."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"I accept the decree."

Wang Hao bowed and accepted the order.

Subsequently.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng with a complicated look in his eyes:

"Li Zheng, have you really decided not to stay in Chang'an but to go to the battlefield?"

"His Majesty."

"I have decided."

"Killing enemies and making meritorious deeds, this is my true nature as a man of the Tang Dynasty."

"My minister, Li Zheng, will kill all enemies of the Tang Dynasty on the battlefield and serve the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zheng stood up and bowed to Li Shimin, his eyes full of determination.

Determined to go into battle.

The determination to kill the enemy.

The determination to serve the country.

"Let's do as you wish."

Li Shimin sighed, and then he took out a blank imperial edict, wrote directly on it with a pen, and stamped it with a big seal.

"With this imperial edict, we give you full authority to command the 50,000 Jinyang Army. You will not be subject to the control of the vassal king, but will be directly ordered by us."

"As for the 50,000 troops under your command, you can come up with a name yourself. From now on, the military number will be named after you."

Li Shimin handed over the imperial edict, and Wang De immediately stepped forward, took the edict and handed it to Li Zheng.

"My lord, I will never let you down."

Li Zheng knelt down and received the imperial edict with excitement on his face.

But when he heard that the 50,000-strong army was not under the control of the vassal king, Wu King Li Ke's eyes were a little surprised, and he seemed very puzzled.

He is the governor of Youzhou and the highest commander on the front line, but Jinyang's 50,000-strong army is under the command of Li Zheng and is not under his control. What did his father do to him?

"Li Zheng, you chose to go to the border yourself, you can't blame us."

"Wan'er will trouble you in the future, but don't bother me."

"Go back and leave immediately tomorrow."

Li Shimin waved his hand to Li Zheng helplessly.

"My minister retire."

Li Zheng bowed and retreated with excitement.

In the main hall.

Except for Li Shimin, only Wang Hao, Li Ke and eunuch Wang De were left.

But this time.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Ke.

"Back then, do you still remember the big mistake your mother and concubine made?"

Li Shimin stared at Li Ke and suddenly asked.

"My mother-in-law was drunk and contradicted His Majesty in the harem. It was a serious crime. I would like to thank my father for your forgiveness."

Li Ke Li Ke knelt down and replied in panic.

"Then you remember that villa, I didn't allow anyone to set foot in it. Your mother-in-law came in drunk and made a fuss. I was ready to revoke her title of Concubine Xian."

Li Shimin said.

As soon as these words fell.

In Li Ke's mind, Li Ke pictured the mysterious courtyard in the palace compound.

"My dear father, I thank you for your kindness."

"If my father hadn't been so magnanimous back then, my mother and concubine would have been..."

Li Ke knelt down as he spoke.

"All right."

"To tell you the truth, that courtyard was built by your father to commemorate the woman who saved her life in Shanxi."

"This time when you go to Youzhou, you must protect him."

Li Shimin changed the subject as he spoke.

"Protect Li Zheng?"

Talking about how the palace villa suddenly came to protect Li Zheng, Li Ke Qianqing was all in a daze and looked at Li Shimin with some confusion.
