Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3990
The belt was pulled, and Wang Shoushi finally couldn't hold back anymore. While trying to pull back the whip with all his strength, he screamed: "Li Ji, you are committing violence, do you still have your majesty and the king's law in your eyes? I am a servant of the emperor, Who dares to disrespect me... oops!"

Before he finished speaking, he let out an exclamation, but he was savagely pulled off his horse by the captain, and fell firmly on the muddy ground with a "bang", falling on his back, splashing mud and water...

Seeing the embarrassment of this domineering eunuch, the generals and soldiers around burst into laughter.

Wang Shoushi was dizzy from the fall, startled and angry. When he came to the Chinese army, he left all his trusted and cronies on the side of the "Xuanjia Cavalry". After all, never thought that such a situation could happen around Li Ji?The left and right are under Li Ji's command, and Wang Shoushi felt guilty: Maybe Li Ji is jealous of his holy relative Youlong, and wants to use military law as an excuse to kill himself...

Fortunately, when the lieutenant pulled him up from the ground, intending to drag him away and impose military punishment, Li Ji finally "woke up" from the state of thinking about how to deal with the situation. He was surprised when he saw this, and shouted at the generals: "There There are no rules? How can you be so rude to the king's servant and retreat quickly!"

Only then did the two school captains let go of Wang Shoushi, and took a few steps back, still looking unhappily and covetously.

Following the example of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the army of the Tang Dynasty puts the most emphasis on military merits. The generals in the army are the most rebellious. With military merits, they are full of confidence. Even the celebrities around the emperor will not be servile, obsequious and flattering. They are very tough. This is definitely the founding of the country After that, the normal state of the Datang army.

When Zhao Da used his identity as a military general to usurp the world of the orphans and widows of the Chai family by "adding his body in yellow robes", he won the country's injustice, and naturally felt sad and restless at night. It happened on the body, and later it was the creation of the "Supervisor Army", which is so ancient and brilliant, hoping that it can be passed on for a long time in the Zhao and Song Dynasties for thousands of years.

So far, the backbone of the military commander has been completely broken, so that even though Hongwu used his peerless martial arts to drive out the Tartars and restore China, he still couldn't get out of this nest. The country is crumbling and broken, the Tartars break through the border, and the Shenzhou land sinks...

Wang Shoushi was so angry that his face was livid and trembling all over. He knew that this was a warning from Li Ji, so he didn't say much. He raised his hand to wipe the muddy water on his face, limped to his horse, grabbed the rein and got on the horse. After the meal, under the mocking and sneering eyes of a group of soldiers, they rode back to the bridge by the river and joined the "Xuanjia cavalry".

He is a smart man, he understands that Li Ji's dissatisfaction with him has not been concealed, with Li Ji's identity, power, and status, he really couldn't bear to find a reason to kill him, who in the world can do nothing?

Even His Majesty Li Er can only watch helplessly, hiding all the anger in his heart, and really killing a hero of the country and the minister of the dynasty for the sake of him, a eunuch, wouldn't he become the stupid and tyrannical king of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou? host……

……

Seeing Wang Shoushi going away, and his figure merged into the well-organized "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry" by the river, Li Ji sighed imperceptibly. He really wanted to kill him for a moment just now, but he couldn't help but think of the serious consequences. I can only hold back forcibly.

Although these emperor's servants were rebellious, reckless and arrogant, relying on the holy family to run amok, so they were incompatible with the Chinese and Chinese martial arts of the court, and they were naturally opposed.But because of the castration, you can only live by the power of the emperor, and you can gain the unreserved trust of the emperor, and often become a tool for the emperor to guard against and restrain the ministers of civil and military affairs-kill the tool that the emperor restricts you, you Do you want to get rid of the emperor's vigilance?What do you want to do?

Taking a deep breath, he looked away from the "Xuanjia cavalry", looked at the generals and soldiers in front of him, and began to give orders.

"Cheng Mingzhen led his troops to move to the left, and lined up on the left flank. If there is any movement, attack immediately!"

"Zhang Liang headed north to near Youtunwei, beware of his supporting the prince's rear formation and triggering a conflict between Zuowuwei, and at the same time beware of Tubo Huqi who may swoop in from Longshou's original direction."

"Send someone to Xue Wanche's department on the north bank of the Weishui River to deliver an order, ordering him to immediately build a pontoon bridge and make a gesture of crossing the Weishui River to contain the Youtunwei camp outside the Xuanwu Gate. If necessary, a feint attack can be launched. If the Youtunwei camp has one soldier The pawns rushed to the outside of Chunming Gate to support, and Xue Wanche will definitely do the military law!"

"This commander commands the Chinese army and is here to welcome the crown prince!"

……

The left and right generals were stunned for a moment, and then there was a commotion. Li Ji's trusted confidants immediately carried out the order and rushed to their respective armies.

Cheng Mingzhen and Zhang Liang looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, Li Ji's order obviously meant a battle with the East Palace, which the two of them absolutely didn't want to do, but Li Ji seemed to be very caring, and didn't let them face the prince directly, but It is one south and one north to contain Zuo Wuwei and You Tunwei, which can be regarded as fulfilling their wishes.

But in the final analysis, it is still following Li Ji's order to fight against the East Palace...

Zhang Liang winked at Cheng Mingzhen, and Cheng Mingzhen was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that this guy was slippery and treacherous, so he refused to come forward to refute Li Ji's order at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and asked in a low voice: "Can the commander make it clear that this time?" What exactly is the intention?"

Judging from the order issued by Li Ji, it is obvious that they are preparing to go to war. As long as Zuo Wuwei and You Tunwei are restrained, the troops outside Chang'an City will no longer be able to support the prince. How could the Liu rate of the East Palace and the imperial guards around the prince stop the surprise attack?

However, Li Ji did not say that the war was about to start, which made the whole army do not know how to deal with emergencies, so it was regarded as a taboo in the army. With Li Ji's amazing leadership for many years, such mistakes would definitely not occur.

So Cheng Mingzhen still held a glimmer of hope in his heart...

Li Ji glanced at him lightly, and said in a deep voice: "You are also a veteran general in the army, don't you understand the principle of prohibition? My commander's military order has been issued, and you only need to follow the order. As for my commander's strategic intentions, why not?" Need to explain to you? Hurry up and restrain Zuo Wuwei, don't say too much, if you delay the military plane, don't blame the commander for not being sympathetic."

Cheng Mingzhen knew that Li Ji was strict in governing the army, and he punished those who did not obey the military order very severely, and he didn't miss the past, even his own son-in-law dared not serve in his army...

But if he regressed at this time, it would be tantamount to following Li Ji all the way to the dark, completely standing on Li Ji's side, and if Li Ji did something outrageous and outrageous with ambition, he would not be able to escape responsibility.

He could only boldly say: "It's not that we don't trust the commander-in-chief. It's because the current situation is complicated. The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is the heir apparent of the country. He has a great reputation and righteousness. We dare not slack off in the slightest. Therefore, the last general and the Yun Kingdom I am bold enough to implore the commander in chief to inform us of the overall strategy."

Zhang Liang on the side almost scolded her, you can just ask yourself, why bother to pull me up...

Seeing Li Ji's cold and gloomy gaze, Zhang Liang's heart skipped a beat, he hurried forward on his horse, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Mingjian, General Cheng's words are exactly what we are worried about, but we are all big Commander-in-Chief, he should obey the military order, and live and die without complaint! Therefore, let the commander-in-chief decide, and we will obey everything."

Cheng Mingzhen almost turned around and yelled, motherfucker!Lao Tzu is the first to question Li Ji, how much risk does this have to bear?In the end, this dog was so irresponsible and sold him directly...

Li Ji snorted coldly, glanced at the two of them, pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "This commander will not inform you of your strategic intentions in detail, but you are all meritorious service of the empire, and your status is different from that of ordinary generals, so you will not hide it." , you only need to execute the order of the order."

In other words, he assured the two that there was only one order, and he would not let them directly confront the Eastern Palace army...

Cheng Mingzhen knows how to advance and retreat, and understands that in terms of Li Ji's character and power, this is already a huge concession. If the entanglement continues, Li Ji can directly order him to be arrested on the spot and brought to justice.

This is already the best situation at the moment. It's not that they can't do without the two armies, but that Li Ji must guard against their sudden defection and run to the Eastern Palace camp, adding unnecessary variables to the possible battle...

He took a deep breath and was about to speak when Zhang Liang said, "Don't worry, Commander, we will obey the military order! Hehe, with the character, mind, and bearing of the Commander, absolutely no one dares to question your decision. What do you say?" Do whatever you want, there is no excuse.”

Cheng Mingzhen: ...

Damn!Do you have any shame, you bastard?It was you who urged Lao Tzu to be wise and protect his life. Now that he has Li Ji's promise, it is you who are trying to play tricks and act obediently. Is it Lao Tzu who questioned Li Ji alone and is unwilling to follow him loyally?
Li Ji didn't give him a chance to speak, he waved his hand and said: "Go and execute the order, but this commander warns you, if you hide some small thoughts and cause the military order issued now not to be executed, or the execution fails, then No matter when and where, this commander must do it with military law!"

The two men's hearts trembled, and they hurriedly responded, turned around and galloped to their respective troops.

Soon, the two armies separated from the central army, one headed south, the other headed north, and went straight to their respective targets in a fierce manner...

Li Ji was sitting in the middle army, his face was gloomy, and his frown was obviously preoccupied.

Not long after, scouts galloped up ahead and reported: "The prince has moved forward again and is heading this way."

Li Ji nodded, and ordered again: "The Chinese army stops advancing and waits in formation. Without an order from the commander in chief, no war is allowed under any circumstances!"

"Here!"

More than a dozen messengers rode to various places in the army to deliver military orders.

Only then did Li Ji look left and right, and then turned back to look at the "Xuanjia cavalry" that had assembled on the bank of the Bashui River, and said loudly, "Let's go out with this commander, and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Here!"

Hundreds of soldiers behind him promised in unison, and then urged the horses to gallop towards the front of the formation following Li Ji. For a while, the horseshoes roared, rain fell, and the earth was covered with dark clouds. A big battle was imminent...

Clouds of war are everywhere.
