Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3390 Peace of Mind
Crown Princess Su breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but the doubts in her heart still did not dissipate, and she asked: "Then why did His Highness call for Duke Wei?"

The Duke of Wei, Li Jing, is now in charge of training the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace. In fact, he has become the commander of the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace. Li Jing usually does not care about political affairs. Isn't it because the prince called him into the palace this time because the matter is important and the situation is endangered, and the last of the Eastern Palace needs to be used. Use force to deal with the situation?
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Everything is foregone, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. After anything happens, you must prepare for the worst, so as to achieve the best results. The reason for calling Wei Gong is only because of relying on his military ability alone." It’s just a little training based on the current situation in the world.”

Mrs. Su nodded, and retreated to the apse after all blessings.

Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, put the teacup on top of the teacup, and exhaled lightly.

I moved from the East Palace to the Xingqing Palace to prevent someone from plotting against the Taiji Palace. Since the Xuanwu Gate entered, there was nowhere to escape, and I suffered a crushing defeat.Therefore, when they arrived at Xingqing Palace, they brought with them all their confidantes and cronies, and the guards stayed overnight in the palace, which almost isolated the inside and outside.

How will the news from outside be transmitted to Xingqing Palace?
If it is only the meticulous work of Goguryeo, it will be difficult to achieve this.And if it was Guan Long or the clan, it would be easy...

After a while, the servant came to report that Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, had arrived outside the palace to ask for an audience.

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Xuan!"

When Li Jing, dressed in military attire and with white beard and hair, walked into the hall quickly, and paid homage, Li Chengqian quickly got up and helped him up, and said strangely: "Gu just sent someone to your mansion, and the time for a cup of tea is not yet here. Why did Duke Wei come so fast?"

Li Jingdao: "The old minister heard the rumors in the city and was worried, so he wanted to enter the palace to see His Highness. He happened to arrive outside the palace and meet the servant who delivered the decree."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Come, come, sit down and talk."

Let Li Jing take the seat, and let the waiter serve tea, Li Jing thanked.

The two monarchs and ministers took a sip of tea, Li Jing put down the teacup, looked at Li Chengqian, and asked in a deep voice: "I got up early this morning, and I heard the rumors in Chang'an City, and felt very bad, so I was eager to come to see Your Highness. The old minister is bold, dare to ask Your Highness said, is it true or false that His Majesty fell off the horse and was injured?"

Now that Li Jing asked, and the matter has come to this point, Li Chengqian naturally has no need to hide it anymore, nodded and said: "It's absolutely true! It's just that this matter is too important. I only got the news before and didn't inform Duke Wei. .”

Li Jing quickly waved his hand: "How can the old minister be so ignorant?"

His Majesty Li Er was personally injured when he fell off his horse in front of the battle. It is not an exaggeration to say that such news is of great importance. Naturally, such news should be suppressed as much as possible. The less people know about it, the less risk of leaks. Otherwise, once it spreads, As it is now, the situation is suddenly tense, and the people in Chang'an City are panicked, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the collapse of the situation.

Sighing, Li Jing said: "Although the old minister never fought alongside His Majesty back then, he has always admired His Majesty's bravery and strategy. It's just that time has passed, and even a proud son like His Majesty will inevitably be a hero. Back then, His Majesty led three thousand Xuanjia How majestic is it to take the head of a general in the midst of a chaotic army? Alas..."

It's not only lamenting that His Majesty Li Er's glory is no longer, but also remembering the years when I was heroic and invincible in the world. I can only sigh that the heroes of the world are all old now, and they no longer have the courage of the past.

Feeling deeply, he asked again: "Your Highness summoned the veterans, what orders do you have?"

Holding the teacup, Li Chengqian said: "The situation in Chang'an City is tense right now. The news of the father's injury has spread, and there must be some people who are doing something wrong. If those people with ulterior motives take the opportunity to make trouble, the defense of Chang'an City must be strengthened, and Duke Wei must be summoned alone." , I just want to ask, the situation has changed a little bit, the city defense is in danger, and the solitary Donggong Liu rate is worthy of a battle?"

Today, it is absolutely impossible to say that he is not panicked at all.

The Eastern Expedition mobilized most of the troops in Guanzhong. Although there are still a few troops stationed in various places, the troops are too empty, and once chaos arises, it is not known where these troops are going. How can we place high hopes?

The Guanlongmen faction has always had a tradition of raising private soldiers, and every family has a force that cannot be underestimated.Many servants who usually look like bankers, servants, and grooms, once armed, they will form a large-scale army. With so many people together, it is enough to piece together an army of more than [-] people.

If they break into the city, who can resist?
The right guards are absolutely loyal, but the left guards across the wall are fully staffed and strong. Once there is a change, the right guards may not even be able to see the Xuanwu Gate. How can they sweep up the chaos and help the community?
The most loyal military force is only the East Palace Six Rates.

However, the East Palace Six Rates had been under the control of the father before, and he, the crown prince, had only taken over for a few days. He cleaned everything up and down, and placed his confidantes in the East Palace. ?
He really has no idea.

Hearing this, Li Jing stroked his snow-white beard, and said proudly: "The world is so big, there are not many famous generals, but when it comes to military training methods, there are only a handful of people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the veterans! Don't worry, Your Highness, the East Palace will lead up and down. All of you are loyal to His Highness, and have already formed combat strength, once you go to battle, those rebels and bandits will definitely be defeated!"

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief when he ascended, and praised: "Wei Gong is known as the 'God of War', known all over the world, and his military training skills are unparalleled in the world. With the help of Wei Gong alone, we can rest easy!"

He poured tea for Li Jing himself, and said with a wry smile: "Yesterday, I heard the news that my father was injured, so I stayed up all night alone. When I got up this morning, I heard rumors about Chang'an City, and felt that the forces of all parties were about to move. I was really worried. I was afraid He failed his father's entrustment, causing the country to be shaken, the country to be in turmoil, and the people of Li to be in dire straits. Now with Wei Gong's words, Gu can be regarded as letting go of his fear."

Regarding Li Jingzhi's military ability, who in the government and the opposition is not convinced?At that time, he also made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why he was repeatedly feared by his father and emperor, and finally left his mansion idle and secluded, was precisely because of his unparalleled ability to command troops.

As long as Li Jing said "Nothing will go wrong", Li Chengqian would naturally believe it.

When Li Jing saw Li Chengqian pouring tea for him, he quickly got up and thanked him. The soldiers can be regarded as capable, but how can they be compared with the Duke of Yue? The reason why the Duke of Yue dared to lead the army to the west was because the half of the right guards he left behind were enough to suppress the left guards. Lianlian, Tuyuhun attacked the city and plundered land, how could he rest assured of His Highness' safety?"

Li Chengqian was stunned: "But there are only half of the right guards left, less than [-], and the left guards are fully staffed, with strong troops and horses, more than twice the strength of the right guards. It's fine for the Duke of Yue to sit in the Xuanwu Gate , and now it’s just a lieutenant general guarding... Duke Wei is so optimistic?”

He was a little unbelievable.

No matter how strong the Right Tunwei is, after all, there is only half of it left, and the army is commanded by a deputy general. In Li Jing's eyes, it is actually better than the Zuo Tunwei, which is fully staffed and commanded by Chai Zhewei himself?

But Li Jing's military talent is unparalleled in the world. He said that half of the right guards are stronger, and it seems that there is no point in boasting...

Li Jing said with emotion: "The power of firearms has already shocked the world. Back then, the soldiers of the Yue State came out of Baidao, marched across Mobei and overthrew Xue Yantuo, relying on the power of firearms. Now the battle of Dadoubagu defeating Tuyuhun is also the power of firearms." , Even when the Arabs threw away their helmets and armor and ran wildly under Gongyue City, they still relied on firearms! From this, we can see that firearms will inevitably become the dominant force in the war in the future, helping the imperial army to wipe out the world and wipe out all wasteland. And Youtun The Wei is the first army in the world to use firearms as its main combat equipment, and its combat power can be imagined. Yue Guogong led half of the Right Guards to defeat [-] to [-] Tuyuhunjing cavalry in one battle, so the remaining half How can the Right Tunwei defeat the Zuo Tunwei? Or, does His Highness think that the Zuo Tunwei is stronger than seventy or eighty thousand Tuyuhunjing cavalry?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression of relief, Li Jing added: "Furthermore, Your Highness underestimated Gao Kan, not only His Highness, but now the military and government of the Tang Dynasty, the ruling and opposition parties, I am afraid that everyone underestimated this person! In the opinion of the veteran, this His talent is outstanding, and he has the potential of a famous general! The Duke of Yue marched west, and Pei Xingjian must be with him, but he did not entrust the important task of guarding the Xuanwu Gate to Cheng Wuting, who has always followed him step by step. This shows that Gao Kan is in the eyes of the Duke of Yue Your Highness, when it comes to other skills, there may be someone in the court who can compete with Duke Yue, but when it comes to the ability to know people, I am afraid that no one in the court and the public can match him."

When he talked about Fang Jun's ability to recognize and employ people, Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.
