Li Er was reviewing the memorial and dealing with political affairs. An eleven or twelve-year-old boy in brocade clothes was accompanying him. He was reading the memorial very seriously with a memorial in his hand. He had red teeth, white teeth, and delicate features. He was none other than King Li Zhi of Jin. During this period, not only did he
He listened to the government affairs in the hall and also studied the memorials. This kind of treatment was only given to the prince back then.
Both the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China are old foxes. How could they not see that this is a bad signal, but no one has pointed it out. The struggle between the country and the country has always been cruel, and it is a royal family affair. Whoever participates will die.
Wei Zheng had made insinuations and reminded him several times, but Li Er used various excuses to shirk it. Li Er didn't explicitly say that he wanted to change the prince, and Wei Zheng couldn't say much, so he could only keep an eye on it.
At this time, Wang De hurried over and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I am so happy, so happy."
"Where does happiness come from?" Li Er raised his head and asked with his eyes open.
Wang De quickly put a piece of paper in front of Li Er. There was only one line on it, "Resolving the difficulties of the Anbei Protectorate." This meant that the reversal of the war in the north was indeed a good thing. Li Er's eyes lit up and he asked:
"Do you know the specific situation? Tell me quickly."
"Back to the Holy Spirit, the secret guard flying pigeons are delivering the message. The content cannot be too much. If it is too heavy, it will be difficult to fly. This is what I know." Wang De looked embarrassed.
Li Er suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to know how the fight was fought, what was the current situation of the Turks, what was the situation of the Tang army, and to what extent the siege was lifted. All of this made Li Er feel itchy and wished he could watch it right away.
When I saw the detailed military report and thought about Qin Huaidao's conduct and conduct, I found that the military report was not that quick.
But the siege was finally solved, and there was no need to worry about the north. The next moment, Li Er looked at the general of the Tang Dynasty next to him, and his eyes fell on Daizhou. He immediately slid down, stopped at Taiyuan Mansion, and asked: "Xue Wanche should also go to Taiyuan Mansion."
Have you taken over the army? Is there any news?"
"Judging from the time, we should have arrived, but we haven't received any news yet." Wang De said truthfully, and he was also a little curious in his heart. The secret guard should have sent a message, but why he didn't say anything.
"Hurry up."
"Follow the order." Wang De hurried away.
Li Er pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Li Zhi and asked: "Zhi'er, do you think the prince has delayed sending troops?"
"Perhaps the prince brother has difficulties that we don't know about and it's not convenient for us to send troops," Li Zhi said.
"What trouble can he have?" Li Er said dissatisfiedly, but the eyes he looked at Li Zhi were much softer. He was benevolent, filial, sensible, and knowledgeable. More importantly, he was good to his family and valued family ties as much as he did. He would sit on the throne in the future.
The holy throne will also protect your family, so you don’t have to worry about what happens after you die.
Thinking that the prince's behavior is becoming more and more erratic and cruel, if he really takes the throne, brothers will definitely fight each other, and the country may change hands.
Thinking of this, Li Er became more determined in his choice.
…
On the grassland.
The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the vast grassland, and the sunset glow was like fire, dyeing the west red.
A large army advanced slowly, with a strong momentum like mountains and the sea, giving people endless pressure. In front of the Chinese army's formation, Qin Huaidao rode a white-hoofed crow slowly, and from time to time exchanged ideas with Su Dingfang about the tactics of heavy cavalry. For more than half a month
Later, they finally succeeded in building a hundred sets of heavy armor, and selected physically strong men from the pro-army to serve as heavy cavalry.
"Report——"
A scout came galloping on horseback. After rushing in, he raised his hands and said: "Tell the general, thirty miles ahead is the Helan Governor's Mansion. General Cheng of the former army asked if we should continue to advance?"
"Camp where you are." Qin Huaidao ordered. It was getting late. If you got too close, you would lack a buffer zone in the middle, and you would be easily attacked. The situation in the Helan Governor's Mansion was unknown, so you had to be careful.
The army continued to advance, and soon saw the stopped front army, and ordered the Chinese army Li Yixie: "Distribute in a zigzag pattern with the front army, and keep a distance of one mile. Su Dingfang, follow me and take a look."
"Follow the order." Su Dingfang agreed.
Shi Yeshan hesitated to speak. Qin Huaidao keenly sensed Shi Yeshan's expression and said with a smile: "Let the troops settle down where they are. You, General, can go over and have a look."
"Follow the order!" Shi Yeshan was overjoyed and immediately handed over the troops to the deputy general.
As the group separated from the army and moved forward, the former army leader Cheng Chuliang came over on horseback: "General?"
"After the order is passed, the men will not take off their armor, and the horses will not unsaddle. They will be ready to respond at any time. I am going to meet with the Helan Governor's Mansion." Qin Huaidao warned and continued to move forward.
"Follow the order." Cheng Chuliang nodded knowingly and made arrangements.
Qin Huaidao led his troops and Shi Yeshan forward and soon saw a city lying quietly on the open grassland with rammed earth walls. It looked very simple and not high, but it did not lose a barrier. There were
The soldiers were stationed there. When they saw the army approaching, they quickly beat drums and gathered their troops.
"Hey, there is a flag of the Qibi tribe, but there is also a battle flag of the Tang Dynasty." Shi Yeshan asked in surprise.
"Didn't the Tiele tribe join the rebellion?" Su Dingfang also said in surprise.
"Let's go up and take a look and you'll know." Qin Huai was a brave man and urged his horse forward.
Su Dingfang and Shi Yeshan were also brave people. They were not worried and followed forward. Soon they came to a stop a stone's throw away from the city wall. Su Dingfang shouted loudly: "Lord Protector Qin is here. Please invite the Governor of Helan Governor's Mansion."
Come out and see the monk Qibi."
The sound rolled into the city.
Su Dingfang stood tall and straight, his eyes were like torches, and he stared at the city without moving.
Qin Huaidao also stared at the city. The next performance in the city will determine whether to fight or not. The elder brother of Shamen Qibi is Qibi Heli, who has won the trust of Li Er. Qin Huaidao met him when he attacked Goguryeo. He is a straightforward man, but some time ago
Then Hou Junji attacked Gaochang, but now Hou Junji is getting involved with the prince, so he has to guard against it.
After waiting for a while, the city gate opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out. The leader was a stocky man with only a small patch of hair on his forehead and a few braids standing up, casually hanging down. He was dressed in typical Tiele tribe. He stopped at a distance.
, shouted: "Who is the Lord Protector? I am the Samana Qibi."
Qin Huaidao could feel that the other party had no murderous intention, so he moved his heart, urged his horse forward, clasped his fists and said, "I am, you are Qibi Heli's younger brother, Qibi Samana?"
"Hahaha, the general is very brave, just like my brother said. My brother said that you are very good at fighting. How about we have a fight?" Samana Qibi shouted excitedly.
"Bold!" Su Dingfang yelled angrily.
Qin Huaidao could see that the other party had no killing intention, but simply wanted to fight. He was probably a martial arts fanatic. This kind of person is pure and can win anything. He raised his hand to signal Su Dingfang not to speak, looked at the other party and said with a smile: "
Your brother and I are considered close, so it’s not impossible for you to fight if you want, but there is a condition."
"Say." the other party shouted.
"If you lose, lead your troops south with me to quell the chaos."
"No problem, I will go with you even if you lose. My brother has been controlled by those bastards and has wanted to go for a long time. Later I heard that you led troops to support the Anbei Protectorate. My mother said that if you liberate Anbei,
The siege of the Protectorate of Beida will definitely move south, and we have waited until now." The other party said carelessly, showing frankness and uprightness.
Qin Huaidao saw Qibi Heli on the other side, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was best not to fight him, and asked: "How do you know that General Qibi Heli is under control?"
"My brother has been on guard for a long time. He sent his confidants to hide and come to report if anything happens. He is in the Black City and was ordered by the court to quell the chaos. How come he was controlled instead? My brother said that in addition to being able to fight, you are also a good person.
, I can trust you to tell me how this could be?" Qibi Samana asked in return.
Qin Huaidao's heart skipped a beat, Qibi Heli went on an expedition with the prince and his entourage, and was actually controlled. Who is this person, the prince or Hou Junji?
"It seems that something big is going to happen in Taiyuan Mansion. Could it be that the Crown Prince is going to..."
An incredible thought flashed through his mind, and he was horrified to think about it. Qin Huaidao did not ask any more questions, and decided to convince the man in front of him first. He picked up the horse and asked: "Are you good at horse fighting or foot fighting?"
"Anything is fine, but I have been very strong since I was a child. In the words of you Tang people, I am born with supernatural power. You have to be careful. Will you be punished if I hurt you?" Shaman Qibi took out two big hammers and asked.
The sledgehammer has six sides and looks quite big. Each one is estimated to weigh forty or fifty kilograms, and two weigh nearly a hundred kilograms. Most people really can't play with it. As expected, he is born with supernatural power, and he can't help but feel a bit of love for talent.
, smiled and said: "If you win, not only will you not be punished, but this general will also agree to you a condition."
"This is what you said, don't go back on it, fight!"
Shamen Qibi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly waved the big hammer, making a buzzing and exploding sound with a terrifying momentum.
