Li Wuji was ordered to withdraw and led his troops to the banks of the Weishui River. Although the battle at Xinglongbi did not meet his expectations, defeating the four generals Li Yuanba gave him a new understanding of his own combat power.
If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. This saying is absolutely true.
"Xue Lao, have the Blood Sect disciples been summoned?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Blood Sect's bloodthirsty order has been issued for some time. I believe it won't be long before my Blood Sect disciples will be reunited, and they will definitely help Your Majesty kill Emperor Chu."
Xue Lao's face was gloomy, and a cold voice sounded.
"Thank you, Elder Xue. Once things are done, the Longtang Empire will definitely support the Blood Sect as the largest sect in the world!"
Li Wuji seems to be very confident in killing the Chu Emperor. With the full help of the Blood Sect, and the reinforcements brought by Li Shimin, this battle with the Chu State was fought.
It has only officially started at this moment, and who will win in the end is still unknown.
Suddenly.
Li Wuji rode forward and came to Nangong Shi, Wu Wenhua, and Deng Chanyu. His expression was indifferent and he asked, "I wonder what you think of today's battle?"
Wu Wenhua, Deng Chanyu, Tu Wanfu, Nangong Shi and others were not weak in strength. How could Li Wuji not know this? He could clearly feel that some of them were stronger than the generals of the Chu army.
They are a fighting force that cannot be left behind. Li Wuji doesn't know who Li Shimin's reinforcements are, but he understands that with the full help of everyone in front of him, Longtang's army will be even more powerful.
Hear the sound.
Wu Wenhua looked at Li Wuji with a serious expression and said: "The Chu army is very strong, but it is by no means invincible. At least they are not your opponent."
"I am afraid that your strength is not inferior to that of my king. The Chu army is completely vulnerable to you. If there is a chance, we can kill people on the battlefield together."
"Your Majesty, I have come to help Longtang defeat Chu. I only came here for a few generals of the Chu army. After killing them, I will leave."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to fight alongside the prince!"
Wu Wenhua's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant. This was the confidence that came from a strong man. He did not take General Chu to heart, and he was also not afraid of Li Wuji.
Li Wuji pretended to sigh and glanced at everyone, "There are very few generals like you in the world. I didn't expect you to not have this ambition."
"Originally, I wanted to invite you all to make great achievements together, and to be granted the titles of marquises, ministers, kings and hegemons in the future. Everyone has his or her own ambitions. I am not forcing it."
The words fell.
Li Wuji picked up the reins and looked back, ordering the army to speed up. Looking at his galloping back, the corners of Nangong Shi's mouth rose with a strange smile.
"Second brother, this man is very ambitious. We have to be careful in the future. His attempt to win over us is definitely not as simple as being loyal to Longtang!"
"Brother, all the heroes in the world are vying for the throne, the war is endless, and everyone has ambitions. If I want to be a prince and prime minister, why do I need to get today."
"His olive branch doesn't have the slightest allure to me. Brother, don't worry. If you kill Wen Zhong and the others, I will take Chanyu and Wanfu away from Longtang."
Wu Wenhua looked at him as a simple and honest man, but he was as careful as his hair and did things with a certain degree of ease. In his eyes, Li Wuji's methods were simply trivial.
What's more, he doesn't covet glory and wealth, nor does he pursue power, so there is no possibility of getting him to surrender and be loyal.
"My lord, to control a person, you must know how to use the darkness in the other person's heart. I don't believe that they have no desire at all. As long as you find the darkness hidden in their hearts, you can successfully control them for your prince's use."
Xue Lao and Li Wuji walked side by side and said in a low and sinister voice.
"Thank you, Elder Xue, for reminding me, but this matter cannot be rushed. The identity of this group of people is unknown. Their appearance in Longdu is a bit strange. I have sent people to investigate their details. I believe there will be news soon."
"For the sake of hegemony, they must be used by my king. If necessary, please ask Elder Xue to help!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I and the Blood Sect will definitely work hard to help Your Majesty achieve eternal hegemony!"
At this moment, the ambition in Li Wuji's heart had expanded to the extreme, and his eyes were flashing with venomous gaze, like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness.
Eerie, terrifying, and bloodthirsty!
Da da da~
Da da da~
The rumble of horseshoes exploding into the sky spread, and the smoke billowing across the fields. Li Wuji led an army of 100,000, and disappeared at the end of the wilderness.
............
The next day.
Inside the Chu camp.
The Shadow Guards and Phoenix Guards conveyed the news at the same time. In the large tent, Cao Zhengchun placed the report on the case and stood sideways.
Emperor Chu raised his hand to pick up the report and quickly browsed it carefully. The news from the secret guard and the Phoenix Guard were roughly the same.
I didn't expect that Li Shimin was struggling to the death and had such powerful means. The Longtang Empire was worthy of being a first-class empire that would last for a hundred years.
The report clearly mentioned that Li Shimin gathered troops from the eight countries on the banks of the Wei River, and secretly colluded with the Boundary Protector League and the eight ancient tribes.
The power was so tyrannical and terrifying that even Chu Emperor frowned slightly.
The Eight-Nation Allied Forces arrived, namely: Baoxiang Kingdom, Wuji Kingdom, Chechi Kingdom, Xiliang Women Kingdom, Jisai Kingdom, Shitu Kingdom, Bhikkhu Kingdom, and destroyed France.
Originally, the eight kingdoms were all subordinate states of the Longtang Dynasty. They congratulated the Longtang Dynasty every year and honored Li Shimin as the "Khan of Heaven".
Now that the Chu State is attacking Longtang, they can take this opportunity to become slave slaves and sing, completely break away from the shackles of Longtang, and regain their freedom.
But Emperor Chu did not expect that the Eight Kingdoms would actually send troops to help Li Shimin attack Chu. What did the king of the Eight Kingdoms think?
It goes without saying that Li Shimin was able to mobilize the troops of the Eight Kingdoms because he must have promised greater benefits to the kings of the Eight Kingdoms. Otherwise, they would never have easily sent their troops to the land of Longtang.
When the Eight-Nation Allied Forces arrived, Li Shimin gathered them on the banks of the Wei River to fight Chu to the death.
By the Weishui River?
Emperor Chu murmured, this scene seemed familiar. In history, after Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the Eastern Turks launched an invasion. The Eastern Turks made an alliance with the two Khans of the Turks and directed their troops towards Chang'an.
The Turks attacked Jingyang, which was only 40 miles away from Chang'an, and the capital was shaken.
At this time, Chang'an's military strength was only tens of thousands. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty devised a plan to mislead the army. He personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six people to talk to Jieli Khan across the Wei River, and angrily accused Jieli and Tuli Khan of breaking the agreement.
"Zizhi Tongjian" records that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty killed Baima and formed a "Weihe River Alliance" with the Turkic Khan, and the Turkic soldiers retreated.
The Weishui Alliance prevented the Tang Dynasty from fighting under unfavorable conditions and stabilized the situation for itself. It bought time to develop the economy and accumulate strength. It was an important turning point in the changes in the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
Unexpectedly, history would repeat itself and he would have a decisive battle with Li Shimin on the banks of the Wei River. This time there was no so-called alliance on the Wei River. The two armies clashed and charged, and there was just endless killing.
Either you die or I die.
Now that he knew all of Li Shimin's arrangements, Emperor Chu decided to send an order to the generals to come and discuss it. Once the arrangements for the decisive battle on the Weishui River were made, the three armies would assemble and set off for the bank of the Weishui River immediately.
