Chapter 398 The Future Queen and Crown Prince (1)
"Remember, our biggest enemy is not Emperor Tang, but Zhang Xuan, if this person is not eliminated, even if we destroy Li Tang, it will be difficult for us to occupy the world." Shi Siming reminded seriously, for fear that Shi Chaoyi would despise Zhang Xuan.
In fact, Shi Chaoyi attaches much more importance to Zhang Xuan than his father, and even respects Zhang Xuan's methods. Because Shi Chaoyi fought with Zhang Xuan twice, Zhang Xuan even had a talented and decisive killing and decisive manner, and had the appearance of an emperor.
But Shi Chaoyi definitely dared not say such words in front of Shi Siming.
Shi Chaoyi shouted loudly, "Son obeys the order."
"I just felt sorry for this child Shi Wei, and I lost my life in vain. Alas..." Shi Siming sighed, thinking of Shi Wei, the youngest son who was still detained in Zhang Xuan's hands, and his mood became a little bad.
A hint of coldness flashed in Shi Chaoyi's eyes, but he sighed, "Don't worry, father and leader, your son will definitely save your younger brother at all costs. If Zhang Xuan dares to hurt his younger brother, the army will take down Luoyang and kill him."
Shi Siming breathed a sigh of relief, "Stop, those who accomplish great things do not care about the details. For the sake of the king's career of the Shi family, Shi Wei, don't blame your father for being ruthless."
Shi Chaoyi sneered in his heart, thinking to himself, why do you have to pretend to be so hypocritical? If you really think about the friendship between father and son, why do you have to go back on your word? If you surrender Zhang Xuan, you can not only save your brother's life, but also keep your wealth and glory.
Shi Chaoyi had no good impression of this young brother. Relatively speaking, Shi Siming favored this young son. If Shi Wei returned to Shi Siming, Shi Chaoyi would be worried that his future position as crown prince would have nothing to do with him.
Shi Chaoyi left.
Three days later.
Shi Siming summoned Cheng Yuanzhen and agreed to accept the title of Emperor Tang Li Heng, becoming the Prince of Fanyang County and the Chief of the Military Command of Fanyang, and the Pacification Envoy of the Three Towns of Fanyang.
Cheng Yuanzhen was overjoyed, "Mr. Shi Yingming, our family will return to Chang'an to report to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty announce to the world. In the future, when Zhang Xuan's rebellion is pacified, the court will still have many rewards. Please rest assured."
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Shi Siming's mouth and said lightly, "It is enough for the emperor to keep his promises, and it doesn't matter whether he or not he or she is rewarded. Just don't treat Zhang Xuan like he or she will start to kill the donkey when the rebellion is pacified."
"Tell the Emperor that I, Shi Siming, can serve the court and send troops to serve the king. However, Shi, who is obedient to the tune but not the Xuan."
Cheng Yuanzhen smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything else.
"Okay, you go back. Shi sent someone to escort you from southeast of the river to Chang'an." Shi Siming waved his hand and said impatiently.
Cheng Yuanzhen bowed his fists and bowed, "Our family said goodbye, Prince Shi takes care of our family in Chang'an and is waiting for Prince Shi's good news."
Cheng Yuanzhen hurried away and immediately left Fan Yang with Shi Siming's letter of loyalty and sneaked back to Chang'an quickly.
On the same day, Shi Siming lit an army of 80,000 and launched the flags of the Prince of Fanyang of the Tang Dynasty and the Chief of the General Manager of the Fanyang marching. In the name of the emperor's order to quell the rebellion, his eldest son Shi Chaoyi led his army to go to war.
Shi Chaoyi led his army to leave Fanyang and prepare to enter Changshan, and then waited for an opportunity to take down Hulao Pass and enter Henan. But don’t you know that Hulao Pass had already fallen into Zhang Xuan’s hands at this time. When Shi Chaoyi raised his troops, Zhang Xuan had already led a army of 120,000 out of Hulao Pass and advance within Fanyang.
Shi Chaoyi was half a beat slower, while Emperor Li Heng was two and half a beat slower.
Zhang Xuan ordered his servant Gu Huaien to lead an army of 20,000 to guard Luoyang, forming a trend of echoing each other with Feng Changqing of Tongguan and Zhang Tong of Hulao Pass.
Following Zhang Xuan's march were 60,000 Flying Tiger Army (nearly 20,000 troops under Li Guangbi's troops were reorganized), 20,000 Flying Leopard Army, 10,000 Shenwu Army, 10,000 Shence Army, and 20,000 Uighur cavalry.
Feng Changqing led 20,000 troops to defend Tongguan, Pugu Huaien led 20,000 Flying Leopard troops to defend Luoyang, Zhang Tong led 10,000 Yulin Guards to defend Hulao Pass, and Yan Zhenqing's troops were about to return from Hulao Pass to defend Shaanxi County, and currently control nearly 20,000 troops in the hands of Zhang Xuan.
With such heavy troops in hand, it is almost natural to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.
The actions of the 130,000 troops were extraordinary, with flags waving, and the chariots and horses traveling continuously for miles, with great momentum.
Yan Zhenqing stared at the direction of Zhang Xuan's army entering Fanyang, sighed and turned around and looked at Zhang Tong with fists and said, "Brother Zhang, Hulao Pass will be given to you. The subordinates led the army back to defend Shaanxi County, waiting for the lord's triumphant victory."
Zhang Xuan arrived at Hulao Pass and went to the place where Yan Zhenqing was detained and had a long chat with him all night. No one knew what Zhang Xuan talked with Yan Zhenqing or promised something. Anyway, Yan Zhenqing surrendered afterwards and became one of Zhang Xuan's talents.
"Mr. Yan, you will lead your army back to defend Shaanxi County and be ready to support Tongguan at any time. The responsibility is great, so don't underestimate it." Zhang Tong also bowed his fists and said with a respect. The two are currently working under Zhang Xuan's tent, and will be ministers from the same palace in the future. Naturally, they are very polite to each other.
Yan Zhenqing said nothing, but she sighed in her heart, all the fierce soldiers and horses in the world were in the hands of Zhang Xuan, what else could the emperor expect to compete with Zhang Xuan? It was nothing more than Geshuhan from Hexi. However, Geshuhan and Zhang Xuan were closely related, and everyone in the world knew that it was really hard to say whether Geshuhan would work for the emperor.
I'm afraid it won't take long to change the surname Zhang in the world.
Yongzhou.
News of Zhang Xuan's uprising and breaking with the Tang Dynasty court came, and Yongzhou was shocked. In order to prevent accidents, Li Tengkong and Su Hudong decided to lead the NV army to immediately protect their families and others from Yongzhou to Luoyang.
Yang Yùhuan, who was renamed Yang yùlian, had already arrived in Yongzhou to meet with Cui Ying and other nvs. Except for Cui Ying and Yang Sanjie, no one of them had thought that their husband Zhang Xuan would win the Tang Dynasty Concubine, and was shocked and speechless on the spot.
This is too...that's what.
Nothing to say, what a bold and bold act... is no longer awesome to describe Zhang Xuan's amazing actions.
Moreover, judging from this attitude, it seems that Yang yùhuan has been following Zhang Xuan for more than a day or two. At that time, I'm afraid the old emperor is still in power.
From this point of view alone, how could Zhang Xuan not rebel from the Li Tang Dynasty? When Li Tengkong and Huānuer thought about this, their faces became a little brighter.
No, it's very colorful.
Yang Yù Huan was naturally a little embarrassed, but compared with her future happiness, this was a threshold, and she had to. Fortunately, Cui Ying and Yang Sanjie "smoothly" the scene, which would not make Yang Yù Huan too embarrassed. At the same time, since it was an NV person recognized by Zhang Xuan and Cui Ying agreed, the NVs could not say anything else.
