Li Sidao: "Yes, Master Lu used to give lectures at Yuding Academy. The so-called master is a teacher. He helps his ministers to achieve enlightenment, which is a great kindness."
"What a great favor! Li Si, are you pleading for them now just to repay the favor?" Zhao Yuanyan sneered.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and countless pairs of strange eyes looked at Zhao Yuanyan.
Even Li Si didn't expect Zhao Yuanyan to say this.
Li Si took a deep breath: "I am here for Dayu's empire."
"For the sake of Yu Jiangshan, put away your scholarly opinions and go down and reflect first." Zhao Yuanyan snorted coldly.
Coming from the emperor's mouth, these words were already quite serious.
Li Si did not argue and returned to his original position.
"I have discussed with Huang Xueshi, Xu Aiqing and others before, and believe that the Tang army is now unstoppable, and now we should move forward slowly to avoid causing trouble."
Zhao Yuanyan spoke, and everyone fell to the ground.
"Actually... in this battle, we just need to show the prestige of our army, and let the Tang people give up when they see fit. Don't go too far. In this way, we will have the weight to negotiate with the Tang people."
Zhao Yuanyan said: "We have been fighting for many years, and all the troops are exhausted. As the saying goes, you must first settle down the enemy. The Shen family is now entrenched in the Eagle Galaxy and calls itself the false emperor. I plan to focus on the north and suppress the Shen family first."
Everyone was stunned.
The emperor actually didn't want to fight the Tang army, and instead chose Shen Linglong as his target.
Many ministers looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
They were puzzled, they were puzzled. The Tang army had been beaten right under their noses, but they were still plotting against Shen Linglong in the north.
"May I ask Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has already arrived at the city, how should we deal with it?" It was Marquis Zhongyong who was the first to stand up and ask.
Zhao Yuanyan said nothing and looked at Xu Tiangang.
Xu Tiangang said: "Our court should negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty to ensure that the imperial capital is safe."
Marquis Zhongyong went one step further: "What about the land occupied by the Tang Dynasty? What about Hulao Pass?"
Xu Tiangang said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if the area is occupied by the Tang Tianchao for the time being. Anyway, there is a barren land outside Hulao Pass. Let the Tang Tianchao occupy it, which can just kill their strength."
Marquis Zhongyong's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "You want to cede the land of Dayu to the Tang Dynasty?"
When it comes to battlefield experience, Marquis Zhongyong's experience is far higher than that of Lu Yu.
A strong killing aura came towards Xu Tiangang.
Xu Tiangang's expression changed slightly and he snorted coldly: "Pedantic! This is a strategic compromise for us. As long as we reach an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and recover the northern territory first, that will be the top priority."
"I only know that I am a soldier, and every inch of my land is worth my blood!" Marquis Zhongyong said in a deep voice.
"The fault of the imperial court is caused by you bunch of dead heads."
Xu Tiangang spoke unceremoniously: "You are already too late. The imperial court has already sent people to contact the Tang Dynasty. In fact, there is no need for a front-line victory. The Tang army will naturally retreat."
"No! The only reason the imperial court is bad is that there are traitors. My family has been in the army for generations, and today is the day when I will die for my loyalty."
At this moment, Marquis Zhongyong was only seven steps away from Xu Tiangang.
Suddenly, powerful magic power emerged from his hand, and he raised his hand and slapped Xu Tiangang.
No one expected that Zhongyong Hou would dare to take action in the Qiankun Palace.
Almost instantly, a powerful palm shot straight towards Xu Tiangang along with thick blood energy.
