The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1576 The Escaped Li Guangyan
"So no matter what dad and I do, you have to understand that even if I send troops to defeat Tubo this time, it is for your own good. If you really lose, you will come out to turn the tide in the end. This is good for your prestige, and I am also happy .”

what?
Zhao Kuangyin also thought of the possibility of failure. If he failed, he would ask Zhao Xu to rescue him, which would increase Zhao Xu's prestige.

"Father, this..."

Zhao Xu was moved. His father used this method to gather popularity for himself. This was how he cared for his children.

"I said just now that I want to leave you a stable Song Dynasty, which naturally includes cultivating your prestige. I have already become such an emperor. Everything is worth it. It's time to think about it for you. gone."

No matter what the history books say about him in the future, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't care, he has to think about his son.

Zhao Xu felt a little awkward now. He used to think that Zhao Kuangyin was arbitrarily arbitrarily determined for his own prestige and to show his emperor's authority. At this time, Zhao Xu was also ashamed.

It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin had this plan. Needless to say, if he wins, he is very likely to get Jiuding. If he loses, Zhao Xu will go to the rescue, which is very helpful to Zhao Xu's prestige.

"I……"

"Hey, I understand what you want to say. I said you are my son. We father and son have nothing to say. Well, you can rest for a few days and then help with government affairs."

Zhao Kuangyin seemed to know what Zhao Kuangyin was going to say, so it would be good to let Zhao Xu rest for a few days before starting his work.

"Your Majesty Qi Zou, my minister Zhao Pu has something to say!" Just as Zhao Xu was about to say something, Zhao Pu begged to see him outside.

It turned out that this time Zhao Kuangyin removed all the people outside, and no one was allowed to approach, even a court official like Zhao Pu had no choice but to stand outside and ask for permission. These things should have been done by eunuchs , but Zhao Pu did it himself.

"Okay, let's talk about this today, father and son, come in Zhao Pu." Zhao Pu came, the conversation between Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu was about to end, and Zhao Pu came in.

"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen Your Highness."

"Calm down, Zhao Pu, is there anything you want to see Father, didn't you ask you to send off some princes?"

Zhao Kuangyin had already sat upright at this time, but Zhao Xu asked, Zhao Pu sent those people off, and came back so soon, could something have happened.

"Your Highness is like this. The princes and Lord Hou have already returned to their respective mansions. The minister is here to announce the good news." Zhao Pu looked very happy.

"Oh, what's the matter, what's the matter, I really want to know what happy event you brought me?" Zhao Kuangyin also glanced at Zhao Pu at this time, Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't imagine the joy on Zhao Pu's face What joy can there be at this time.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, it is really a great joy. This is sent from Xixia. We have pacified Xixia. The good news from the front line should be sent to the imperial court soon. This is an urgent letter from the front line. It was sent through a special channel, and it came into the hands of the minister first."

This is indeed a happy event. Xixia has been pacified, which is very good for Zhao Kuangyin. A few days ago, he said when he could solve this serious problem, and this will come soon.

"Haha, it's really a good thing. Did the prince see it? It's been a long time since you were put down in Xixia." Zhao Kuangyin drank a little wine just now, and his face was flushed, but now it should be because of happiness.

"Father, your imperial decree has not yet been issued, and it is really God's blessing to send you such good news!"

Zhao Xu was also happy for Gao Huaide and the others. They rushed from the north to the northwest and cleaned up the mess in Xixia so quickly. This is also a good thing. It seems that it is inevitable for Gao Huaide and the others to come back and get promoted.

"It's true that Gao Huailiang and Hu Yan praised them for not disappointing my expectations, and I must reward them heavily."

Zhao Kuangyin really doesn't like Xixia, a country established by the Dangxiang clan. They are definitely Zhao Kuangyin's confidantes, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not have sent the forbidden army, an elite army.

"Where is Li Guangyan? Is he also on the way to Beijing? I will definitely let him die."

Zhao Kuangyin hated Li Guangyan so much that Da Song had lost so much, so he must punish Li Guangyan on the spot.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to report. It is said that Li Guangyan has fled to the desert. Now our Song army is hunting him down, but there is no news yet."

Li Guangyan is gone, this matter is very serious, because Zhao Kuangyin made it very clear that Li Guangyan must be wanted, and now he has escaped, what will Zhao Kuangyin do?
Fifty miles outside the city of a certain country in the Western Regions!
"Your Majesty, we have gathered nearly a thousand people from the Dangxiang clan along the way. What shall we do next?"

Li Guangyan has escaped from the desert and came to a small country whose name is not known. Li Guangyan is in a terrible state, but he is not alone. There are nearly a thousand people behind him, and these nearly a thousand people are soldiers of the Dangxiang clan who escaped.

Every soldier still has fighting power, has weapons on his body, and still follows Li Guangyan.

"I know, I have been to this place before, this city is only a few thousand people, and there are not many soldiers, we need a foothold now, since we want revenge, that's good, let's treat this place as our new country , get ready, get ready to take a rest, there are still fifty miles ahead, we decided to attack a small country ahead, the people here will not surrender obediently."

Li Guangyan has not lost his fighting spirit yet, and he still wants to stir up wind and rain here. This is the place where the former Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty used to be. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it became independent. Not very strong.

So Li Guangyan wanted to take this place as his own. Although it was a small place and a small city, Li Guangyan had no choice, and this place could be regarded as a foothold.

"That is to say, a few of our horses were killed, we had something to eat, and then we had a war. You are all warriors of our party clan. For the last blood of our party clan, we need a base. Find an opportunity to give everyone Song is looking for trouble."

With a base area, and then full accumulation of strength, in fact, the most important thing is to multiply the Dangxiang clan, and then we can find opportunities to cause trouble for Da Song.

This time is not short, maybe Li Guangyan will never have the opportunity in this life, but he must do it, and he must do it for the sake of the Dangxiang clan.
