Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 176 Leaving Beijing Again (1)

Bazhuo ordered soldiers and horses from various tribes to gather in the royal court, and then sent troops to attack Datang.

It takes time for the tribes to disperse and assemble their own fighters, and then to gather at the royal court. In order not to miss the best opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty, Ba Zhuo stipulated that all the tribes must arrive at the royal court within five days.

If anyone was late, the head of the tribe would be beheaded. This order caused many tribes far away from the royal court to complain.

The tribes that are relatively close to the royal court are okay, but it is not easy for the distant tribes to reach the royal court within five days.

They also need to go back to mobilize the clansmen before they can be brought to the royal court. Not counting the time to mobilize the clansmen, it will take time to go back and forth.

Five days of sincerity is not enough, but they dare not bring it up to Ba Zhuo, because the person who raised it has already been executed by Ba Zhuo for disturbing the morale of the army!
The head was still hanging on the flagpole. Such a bloody scene naturally shocked many people.

Everyone had no choice but to go back and dispatch troops to the royal court according to Ba Zhuo's order.

Xue Yantuo is mobilizing the army, while on the other side in Chang'an, Tang Prince Li Chengqian is planning to leave the palace.

In Chang'an, East Palace, and Chongjiao Hall, Li Chengqian summoned Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling.

When Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling came to the Chongjiao Hall, they saw Li Chengqian in armor, and they looked at each other, both puzzled.

"I have seen His Highness!" Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling saluted.

"Exemption!" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness is wearing armor, and he summoned the two of us. I don't know what His Highness is doing?" Yang Shidao asked.

"I came to you today to tell you one thing. The widow has decided to go to Xiazhou to Fujun, and I will leave immediately."

"When the widow is not in Chang'an, all affairs will be handled by the two of you, and you will stay in Chang'an." Li Chengqian said.

"What?" The two were shocked!
Fang Xuanling said anxiously: "Your Highness! This is absolutely impossible! I will definitely not agree."

"The widow is going to appease the army, not to do something, there is nothing wrong with it." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! Now that His Majesty is personally conquering Liaodong, if you also leave Chang'an, then Chang'an and Luoyang will be empty inside."

"I am worried that there will be young people who will take the opportunity to cause chaos. What's more, Xiazhou is a remote area. Where is the body of His Highness Wancheng needed? Go to Fujun in person." Fang Xuanling hurriedly persuaded.

"What Fang Xiang said is that His Highness really wants to appease Xiazhou soldiers and horses, so he can send a minister to appease the army, why bother to do it himself." Yang Shidao also chimed in.

They really don't want the prince to act so recklessly. Today they want to go to Xiazhou to Fujun, but tomorrow they don't know what the prince wants to do.

The prince really wanted to come out as soon as possible, and he would stop the prince if he said anything today.

What kind of place is Xiazhou? Where the people are mixed, it is a place where Han people and Yi people live together, and it is the most chaotic place.

The crown prince's body is ten thousand gold, if he goes to Xiazhou, if something goes wrong, how can they explain to His Majesty Li Er.

"As the prince, why not appease the soldiers of a state! They are all soldiers guarding the land and borders for our Great Tang."

"The widows are supposed to comfort them, but you are blocking them here, what is your intention?" Li Chengqian said.

No matter what they say today, it is useless, he must go to Xiazhou, and no one can stop him.

"Your Highness! Xiazhou is a place where Han people and Hu people live together. The Hu people are very brave and fierce. I am worried that some people who don't have good eyesight will bump into Your Highness!" Fang Xuanling said.

"The Prime Minister is worrying too much! Regardless of whether you are Han, Hu, or other people, as long as you are a citizen of my Tang Dynasty, we should treat you equally."

"Besides, the guards of the widow's East Palace will take good care of the widow, so you don't have to worry so much." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! I heard that Khan, a barbarian in Xue Yantuo, died suddenly, and his son Bazhuo killed Yimang and won the position of Khan."

"I am worried that Xue Yantuo will raise troops to attack. At that time, Xiazhou must bear the brunt. His Highness may be dangerous if he goes this time." Yang Shidao said.

"Now that Bazhuo has just won the position of Khan, the foundation is not stable. Bazhuo still needs to stabilize the situation before he can secure the position of Khan."

"Where Ba Zhuo has the skills to send troops to attack our Tang Dynasty, even if Ba Zhuo ignores domestic opposition and sends troops to attack our Datang, there is no need to worry!"

"In Xiazhou, An Guogong Zhi Sisili and Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General Tian Renhui are here. If Xue Yantuo dares to come, he will never come back."

"If Xue Yantuo really invades, I can't just sit idly by and go to Xiazhou to appease the army to boost morale." Li Chengqian said.

Yang Shidao wanted to use such words to persuade Li Chengqian to change his mind, but Li Chengqian didn't accept it.

Whether Xue Yantuo will raise troops to attack, he knows better than anyone else.

Li Chengqian took people away from the Chongjiao Hall and went to the Guangtian Hall behind the Chongjiao Hall. Fujun was just an excuse to go to Xiazhou this time.

Taking this opportunity to hone his generals is the real purpose of Li Chengqian's trip to Xiazhou this time.

"What should we do now?" Seeing Li Chengqian's leaving back, Yang Shidao asked Fang Xuanling.

"How do I know what to do? The prince insists on going his own way! You and I have tried our best to stop it! But we still haven't stopped it, and I have nothing to do." Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly.

In my heart, I hope that the prince's trip to Xiazhou will go smoothly.

Although Fang Xuanling has many ideas, he has a shortcoming, that is, he is not decisive enough to make decisions.

Otherwise, Fang Xuanling would not have the reputation of being decisive, and when Fang Xuanling was asked to make up his mind to make a decision, Fang Xuanling was mostly hesitant.

"See Your Highness!" As soon as Li Chengqian entered Guangtian Hall, all the generals waiting in the hall hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Chengqian!

"Exemption!" Li Chengqian came to the main seat and sat down, looking at Pei Xingjian, Qiu Shenji, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Long Zhi, and Xue Wanche and other military officers of the Eastern Palace below.

"Is everyone ready?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Highness! Everything has been prepared according to His Highness's instructions. The Sixth Army of the East Palace is ready to wait for His Highness's orders at any time!" Cheng Wuting stood out and saluted.

This time Li Chengqian planned to take all the six leaders of the Eastern Palace to Xiazhou, which can be described as an all-out mobilization.

"Your Highness! I have obeyed His Highness's order to call up soldiers to go to Xiazhou." Wang Fangyi came out and said.

In addition to taking away the soldiers and horses from the East Palace, Li Chengqian ordered Wang Fangyi to send [-] soldiers to Xiazhou just in case.

"Your Highness! I, Jin Yiwei, have made preparations and are ready to be sent by His Highness at any time." Long Zhi came out of the queue and saluted.

"Okay!" Li Chengqian said: "The time has come for you all to make contributions. Xue Yantuo ascended the Khan throne, and he will definitely invade the border of our Tang Dynasty. You are willing to attack Xue Yantuo together with me."

"The ministers are willing to follow His Highness around!" the generals clasped their fists and said.

"Okay! Then we can go to Xiazhou Fujun to wait for the arrival of Xue Yantuo's army." Li Chengqian got up and said.
