If he continues to stay in Jiangnan Road, won't he become a target?
In Li Yuan's opinion, it would be safest to take him back to Chang'an City.
"No."
"My grandson must stay in Jiangnan."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Yuan with very firm eyes.
Seeing this, Li Yuan asked with some confusion: "Why is this?"
"Because all his hatred is directed at his grandson."
Li Chengqian said directly to Li Yuan: "So even if he rebelled after arriving in Shu, his excuse was just to kill his grandson."
"But Sun'er is in Jiangnan Road, and the only place he can lead people to attack is Jiangnan Road."
"That way, both the emperor and the emperor will be safe."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Yuan and said: "It doesn't matter whether my grandson lives or lives. As long as you two are here, there will be no chaos in this world."
"But on the other hand, if something goes wrong between you two, the world will be in chaos."
What Li Chengqian said does make sense.
But Li Yuan was very angry.
He slammed the table and said, "That's nonsense."
"As the current prince, your status is already extraordinary."
"How can you talk about life and death so casually?"
"Besides, what if he can gather thousands of troops from Shu?"
"Could it be that he can still send troops to break through Chang'an City?"
Li Yuan is still very confident about this.
After all, the city defense of Chang'an City is no joke.
Without an army of more than ten or two hundred thousand, we can't even touch the city wall.
But after hearing his words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel bitter.
"Grandpa Huang, if it turns out, your vision of war will naturally be a learning object for my grandson."
He said: "But grandpa, things are different now."
"Do you still remember when Sun Er led troops to attack Kucha?"
"The city defense of Qiuci, under the cannon of General Zhenguan of our Tang Dynasty, is like a piece of clay made of paper."
"And the weapons and equipment equipped by the Shu army and my Liangzhou army Everything is the same."
"If General Zhenguan fires his cannon, not to mention the walls of Chang'an City, even the imperial palace will suffer along with it."
That's right.
Today's siege method is no longer the original way of charging up with a ladder.
But it is blessed with firearms such as cannons.
When Li Chengqian led the army to fight, the artillery had already overwhelmed the enemy's city walls.
There may even appear to be situations where the city wall will collapse after the artillery is fired.
If the Shu army really comes, it will be a devastating blow to Chang'an City.
Moreover, Chang'an City was not just a city in the Tang Dynasty, it was the spiritual symbol of all Tang people.
The destruction of Chang'an City was equivalent to destroying the faith of many people.
It is even possible that the fate of the Tang Dynasty will be ruined because of this.
Li Chengqian didn't want this to happen.
So at the moment, he can only make this risky move.
He said: "And Grandpa Huang doesn't have to worry about me, he doesn't dare to do anything to me."
Hearing his words, Li Yuan also knew it well.
He was right. If the war really came to Chang'an, the world would really be in chaos.
"Alright alright……"
Li Yuan took a deep look at Li Chengqian and said, "Grandpa is old, and there are some things he can't do as well as young people like you..."
"but……"
"Grandpa is also determined to die."
He smiled at Li Chengqian.
"Grandpa is not leaving, so he will stay with you in Jiangnan Road."
"I would like to see what that beast dares to do to you."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian became anxious.
He said urgently: "Grandpa Huang, your status is extraordinary. You'd better return to Chang'an City as soon as possible."
Because with the current situation, it won't be long before Jiangnan Road becomes a battlefield.
By then it will be too late to leave.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Grandpa believes in you."
Li Yuan gave Li Chengqian a deep look: "Besides, only if I am here can you mobilize troops and horses at will."
This is true.
Although Li Chengqian was already the crown prince, he already had military power in his hands that he did not have when he was the king of Qin.
But even so, the troops and horses he can mobilize are still limited.
After all, he only has influence in Longyou Road. When mobilizing soldiers and horses from other places, it is inevitable that the leading generals will act against him.
But things are different here with Li Yuan.
Although Li Yuan has abdicated for almost ten years, he still has the status of Supreme Emperor after all.
If he were here, it would definitely save a lot of trouble.
But Li Chengqian still didn't want to take risks.
He said: "Even if this is the case, my grandson cannot let Grandpa Huang be in danger."
"okay."
"Stop telling me useless things."
"You have only one task at the moment, do your own thing well."
"Whatever I do, I will naturally make a decision."
And just when Li Chengqian was about to say something, Li Yuan suddenly looked up at Li Chengqian and chuckled: "Don't ever think about using the same method you used against me to deal with me."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was also a little embarrassed.
Sure enough, Li Yuan does have the ability to penetrate people's hearts.
Li Chengqian was just thinking about whether to tie up Li Yuan and send him away, when he saw it.
At the moment, Li Chengqian had no choice.
He could only say: "Even if my grandson fights to the death, he will protect the emperor's grandpa."
"Don't say anything about death."
"Go down and get ready."
Li Yuan said straightly: "I think it won't take long for this guy to come over."
"yes……"
Li Chengqian saluted Li Yuan again, then turned and left. And Li Yuan's prediction was very accurate.
Indeed, Li Ke did not keep the world waiting for too long.
Only three to five days after arriving in Shu, Li Ke rose up.
In the name of killing the sycophants and clearing the emperor, the target was Li Chengqian.
What is unexpected is that when this guy gave the order, there were many people in the world who responded.
Especially in Henan Road and Huainan Road, an armed force of more than tens of thousands of people was assembled within a few days.
These people followed the Tongji Canal all the way south and headed straight to Jiangnan Road in a fierce manner.
The local government did not expect such a thing to happen, so they had no time to react.
By the time they reacted, the rebels had already reached the edge of the Yangtze River.
And these people are gathering the ships at extremely fast speeds.
It looked like he was preparing to move south in one fell swoop, join forces with the troops marching eastward from Shu, and hit Li Chengqian's vital points directly.
…
Suzhou government office.
Gao Zhixing reported the situation outside to Li Chengqian one by one.
And when he finished listening, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He said: "It turns out that there are still these people in this world who want me to die..."
He really didn't expect that he would be so hateful.
Likewise, he did not expect that Li Ke's announcement of revolt would trigger a chain reaction.
Li Chengqian sighed and asked, "How long until our support arrives?"
"Taizhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Changzhou, and Zhechong Prefecture in the four places have all begun to gather troops."
Gao Zhixing pondered for a moment and said, "I think it will only take two or three days to reach Suzhou City."
"Where are the rebels?"
Li Chengqian asked again.
"The rebels have almost gathered enough ships."
Gao Zhixing said: "It should be within three days to come to our place."
"but……"
Gao Zhixing paused and then asked: "Your Highness, are you sure you don't want to send the Liangzhou army over?"
