Three thousand soldiers and horses are not too small, but they are definitely not too many. Even if Cheng Dalei's current military strength is so tight, he can definitely get it. But when the emperor has 300,000 imperial guards, he can really even get three thousand soldiers.
Do I need to borrow a horse too?
Faced with Cheng Dalei's question, Tian Qi did not answer, but said: "Your Majesty asked me to tell Master Cheng that I will lend you three thousand soldiers and give you the king of Liangzhou."
Cheng Dalei thought in his mind that he, the king of Liangzhou, was currently unknown, otherwise it would not be Tian Qi who delivered the letter alone. The one he was really afraid of was Prime Minister Cui.
"Your Majesty's current situation is very bad. Is it so bad that you are desperate?"
Tian Qi did not answer. The key was that it was difficult to answer. Cheng Dalei showed no respect for the emperor at all.
Cheng Dalei suddenly let out a long sigh and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tian Qi, your Majesty's life is my life. I will be at the forefront of what your Majesty wants to do, but I can borrow troops... To be honest, my current situation is very tense."
Tian Qi said: "If this matter is a bit difficult for the Cheng family, Your Majesty has no intention of forcing it."
Cheng Dalei touched his nose. He was fooled so easily. He had prepared many words but didn't have time to say them yet.
"Your Majesty also prepared something for me to deliver to Master Cheng's family."
Cheng Dalei looked at Tian Qi curiously and saw him taking out something from his arms. After taking a closer look, his eyes widened instantly.
One imperial decree and one blank imperial decree.
Cheng Dalei: "Did your Majesty ask you to bring anything?"
Tian Qi shook his head: "Your Majesty said that when Cheng Dalei sees it, he will understand everything and there is no need for me to say anything."
Cheng Dalei sat crookedly behind the chair. After a while, Nan Nan said: "I really want to jump over the wall."
The Xizi Team also has spies in Chang'an, who are responsible for spying on Chang'an's intelligence. Since Yuchili's death, Li Letian has gradually been ignored by the Prime Minister's Mansion. If this continues, Li Letian will really become a puppet emperor. Of course, Li Letian's temperament
We will not let things get to this point, so we are prepared to engage in a life-and-death fight with the Prime Minister when we still have the strength.
The purpose of borrowing troops from Cheng Dalei this time was for this purpose. The son of a rich man could not sit down and take this step. It seemed that he really had no choice.
However, he seemed to have expected that Cheng Dalei would not borrow troops. He gave Cheng Dalei an imperial edict, which meant that if the incident failed, Cheng Dalei could use his name to make the Prime Minister's Mansion, which had a self-respecting army, feel disgusted.
Of course, as long as Li Letian is alive, this imperial edict will have no effect. If Li Letian dies, Cheng Dalei will have a legitimate cover.
Being able to make this decision shows that Li Letian has made up his mind.
After roughly clarifying the facts, Cheng Dalei sighed softly. Even the emperor felt helpless. In comparison, the trouble he encountered seemed not to be a problem.
After delivering the letter and explaining clearly, Tian Qi said goodbye and left. From Chang'an to here, it was a long journey with thousands of mountains and rivers, and he also had to worry about being discovered by the Prime Minister. Tian Qi's journey was not easy.
Cheng Dalei secretly admired this taciturn man.
After Tian Qi left Liangzhou City, he did not return directly to Chang'an. Instead, he bypassed Sanshui Pass, entered the Jingzhou boundary, and then traveled north for a while.
The mountain road was so rugged that it was impossible to ride a horse. After abandoning the horse, he pushed through the dense jungle and saw a mountain village in front of him.
The crown of a big tree on the hillside in front swayed slightly. Tian Qi knew that this was a spy from the village who had discovered him and went back to the mountain to report.
He was not in a hurry and stood at the gate waiting.
"Who is here? What do you mean by going into the mountain for no reason?" Someone yelled from the gate of the cottage.
Tian Qi stood up straight without saluting, as if he didn't understand the rules of the world.
"People from Chang'an want to see Lord Baili."
After a moment of silence, a voice rang out: "There is no Lord Baili here, go back to where you came from."
Tian Qi remained silent, standing straight on the spot and making no sound.
The people at the gate of the cottage also evacuated, but there was a man standing guard on the fence, looking at this stranger strangely, feeling that there was something that he was afraid he would not be able to figure out for the rest of his life.
Tian Qi stood at the gate of the cottage for a day and a night, motionless. At dusk the next day, the gate slowly opened, and the little guy shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, come in, our boss agrees to see you."
Tian Qi staggered and almost fell. He finally stood up straight and walked towards the village.
The little guy looked at him with a look of admiration. He had been standing guard for an hour, but his legs were sore, but this man actually lasted a whole day and a night.
In the Juyi Hall of the cottage, Baili Sheng was sitting crookedly on the Taishi chair. He was also a serious person, and his back was always as straight as a stone tablet. But for some reason, after Luo Cao became a thief, his back could never be straight.
Tian Qi walked in and without saying a word, he knelt down and said, "Tian Qi, the fish dragon guard, has met the Marquis."
Bailisheng sighed softly: "Get up and talk."
Tian Qi stood up straight and took out a token from his arms: "Your Majesty orally, Baili Sheng will accept the order."
Bailisheng discovered an embarrassing fact. Tian Qi had just kowtowed to him, and he was about to kowtow to him.
He thought to himself that he was already a bandit and didn't care about the emperor's laws at all. But his body seemed to be involuntarily, slowly standing up and kneeling on the ground.
"I'm here."
"Bai Li Sheng, I know you are wronged. If you still want to do something, come to Chang'an. If not, kill Tian Qi and become your king of Xiaoyao Mountain."
Bai Li Sheng slowly raised his head and looked at Tian Qi. Naturally, Tian Qi was not Li Letian, but Bai Li Sheng seemed to have seen Li Letian.
"Your Majesty, it turns out you haven't forgotten me yet."
After saying that, tears fell like rain.
Tian Qi mixed Baili Sheng into the mixture. Baili Sheng wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth: "What does Your Majesty want me to do?"
"kill."
Bailisheng blinked: "I'm nesting in the mountains, and I can't receive many messages. What's the situation in Chang'an now?"
Tian Qi looked around and saw that there were other people in the hall. Baili Sheng waved his hand: "We are all brothers. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Tian Qi then spoke: "Your Majesty, the current situation is extremely difficult. Please let me send a message to the Marquis. How many soldiers can the Marquis use now?"
Bailisheng turned around, looked at the brothers in the gathering hall, and said: "Eight hundred."
Tian Qi sighed: "Raise your hands, we need at least three thousand soldiers to fight for a chance of survival."
Baili Sheng shook his head: "Although there are only eight hundred, they all rush out of the field of life and death with me. There is no problem if eight hundred defeats eight thousand. Besides, I have a general who can defeat ten thousand with one."
Tian Qi looked in the direction of Baili Sheng's finger and saw a tall figure with arms and waist.
"Master Hou, who is this?"
The big man clasped his hands in fists and said, "Lu Junyi, a common man."
