Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4398 Ambitious
If what Yuwen Shiji said happened, would Cheng Yaojin dare to fight?
Li Huaiqin lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that Cheng Yaojin probably wouldn't dare...

As a subject, why do you jump back and forth between the emperor and the rebellious prince without any restraint?It is because there is such an army that is obedient to him under his command, no matter the emperor or the king of Jin, no matter how dissatisfied he is with Cheng Yaojin, he can only endure it and take it slowly, otherwise it is difficult to cause another wave mutiny?
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Yaojin has sufficient confidence. As long as the superiors will not deal with him decisively, there will be room for maneuver and try to make up for the impact of the previous "betrayal".

After all, no matter how erratic he was, if he didn't directly send troops to attack a certain side, it wouldn't be considered a capital crime.

But if the army under his command is not there, or the strength is greatly reduced due to the loss of troops, the situation is completely different, and it is very likely that they will be pushed out to be slaughtered as monkeys after the mutiny...

Li Huaiqin was a little moved and took another sip of wine.

Yu Wenshi and his observations knew that this "stupid bag" had already started thinking, and hit the iron while it was hot: "How to choose between Your Majesty and King Jin, presumably the people in the world have already made up their minds. Your Majesty respected the late emperor's strategy to suppress the people. However, it is completely dependent on the family clan, and it is clear to the clan clan what is more important. However, due to the stalemate in the current situation, the clan clans and garrisons in various parts of Guanzhong are waiting and watching, not daring to set foot easily. Chang'an has almost broken the deadlock. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by You Tunwei, and those clans and military superiors who were ready to respond came to an abrupt end... At present, as long as the county king takes the lead again, they will definitely respond together. There is no need for the king of the county to fight to the death, and a situation of attacking in groups can be formed, and the king of the county can make great achievements. After the king of Jin ascends to the throne, he will reward him with great rewards, and the feudal side of the county king will have no problem."

"The feudal side..."

Li Huaiqin let out a heavy breath.

The sons of the clan like him seem to be dignified and prosperous, and live a rich life, but they are actually trembling and walking on thin ice. They must be cautious in every word and deed, lest they arouse the emperor's suspicion and encounter unexpected disasters.

Who would like to eat and wait to die like this?
Even if they are just waiting to die, if they can dominate their own fiefdom and do whatever they want, who would want to be cramped in this small Mei County, like a bird imprisoned in a bamboo cage?
Yuwen Shiji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you must continue to be decisive, and you will be subject to chaos! The big man is decisive and dares to be the first in the world, and the opportunity is fleeting. If the war in Chang'an subsides, no matter who wins or loses, your majesty and the king of Jin." , but it’s too late to regret.”

The blood in Li Huaiqin's heart was racing, and he even had shortness of breath, but this was a big matter, as it was a matter of his family's honor and disgrace, it was really difficult to make a decision for a while, so he couldn't help getting up, and just paced back and forth in the tent shirtless. .

After a while, before returning to the case, he stared at Yuwen Shiji and said, "If the king takes the lead in raising troops, are you sure that the clans and garrisons in various places in Guanlong will respond?"

Yuwen Shiji nodded heavily: "The king of the county is well aware of the dangers Guan Long is facing. For Guan Long, if he wins this battle, he will live, and if he loses, he will die. Between life and death, he will naturally go all out. The king of the county You can go to Chang'an first, and the old man will immediately contact the various families in Guanzhong, mobilize some manpower and material resources, and mobilize all the garrison troops to respond, and attack Chang'an together!"

These words are absolutely true, the Guanlong Clan has reached a critical moment of life or death, this time even if all their wealth is exhausted, they must organize a strong offensive to fight back, or they will sink into the dust forever, or the phoenix will be reborn with the wings of desire , there is no second way to go.

As long as Li Huaiqin, the royal family and county king, took the lead in attacking Chang'an, Yuwen Shiji called the Guanlongmen Clan to do everything possible to instigate the garrisons, and at the same time recruited all available forces to form an army and went to Chang'an.

Life and death, in one fell swoop.

Li Huaiqin was silent for a while, then he slapped the table hard, shaking the flagons, wine glasses, and plates on the table until they rattled, and then shouted: "Put me in armor, and bring me my treasured sword!"

That bright armor has been dusty in the box for many years, and the precious sword that has been with him since he was a child has not been drawn out of its sheath to drink blood for a long time. Today he puts on the armor and goes into battle. He is not only earning a feudal family for himself, passing on to his descendants, but also telling the world not to forget him. A fierce general who charged forward to establish Datang!

Do you think this king's treasured sword is not good?
*****
In the heavy rain, Zuo Wuwei set out from outside the Mingde Gate, bypassed the southwest corner of Chang'an City, and rushed to Xianyang Bridge along the official road.Tens of thousands of soldiers meandered on the muddy road, the flag was wet by the rain and clinging to the flagpole, and the long queues of carriages filled with supplies and fodder were endless at a glance.

On the hills and in the woods on both sides of the official road, teams of scouts came and went to monitor, and fed back the speed of Zuo Wuwei's march, the number of troops, and the situation of the luggage. After all, this army has almost attracted the attention of everyone around Chang'an. Where will it go? What the intention is depends on the direction of the defeat.

When the news came back to Wudedian, Li Ji in the side hall was silent for a while, then looked at the heavy rain outside the window and cursed in a low voice: "Mother!"

Then he got up, grabbed the coir raincoat placed at the door and put it on, walked out of the door and braved the wind and rain to the Wude shop next to the wall, took off the coir raincoat at the door of the hall and threw it to the servant at the door, and walked into the hall. Come to Li Chengqian.

When he entered the palace, Liu Ji and Zhang Liang were in front of His Majesty. The former was bewildered and furious, and loudly denounced Cheng Yaojin's behavior: "This chaotic minister is a traitor, unfaithful and unrighteous! He has wavered from side to side several times before. Not firm, even sitting back and watching the rebels invade Chang'an and almost capture Chengtianmen. How is their behavior different from conspiracy? Although he is openly claiming to defend the Xianyang Bridge for His Majesty to guard against the invading enemies in Guanzhong and Longyou, but marching slowly and procrastinatingly, Causing the opportunity to delay the battle, the crime should be punished!"

Zhang Liang also said: "Although Lu Guogong claims to be loyal to His Majesty and is willing to be an enemy that may invade His Majesty's territory, such a slow march is enough to show that his words and deeds are inconsistent. Your Majesty is very aware of the details, which is unacceptable."

Obviously, Cheng Yaojin's actions dissatisfied both civil and military parties in the Wude shop, thinking that Cheng Yaojin's so-called allegiance to His Majesty was just an excuse, but in fact he still leaned towards King Jin.

Li Chengqian was silent for a while, and when he saw Li Jida stepping into the hall, he waved and said, "Young Lord came just in time, come here to discuss an agenda for gold."

Li Ji came up to him, and after saluting, he asked, "I don't know why Your Majesty discussed the matter of Duke Lu?"

Liu Ji said: "Cheng Yaojin keeps saying that he is loyal to His Majesty, but in fact he has evil intentions and inconsistent words and deeds. Not only has the influence been extremely bad, but it has also led to instability in the army and divergent discussions. I implore Your Majesty to issue a decree and deprive him of the title of duke of the country, as a warning to others!" "

The news of Cheng Yaojin's allegiance to His Majesty has been spread throughout the Hall of Wude and the troops that are fighting, which has boosted the morale of the troops. , leading to disorder in the army and low morale. In order to prevent such things from happening again, it is necessary to severely punish Cheng Yaojin.

Otherwise, everyone will follow suit, swaying left and right, not knowing who is the enemy and who is the friend.
Zhang Liang has always been humble and small in front of Li Ji, but today he was uncharacteristically, and echoed: "What Liu Shizhong said is not bad, such things must be put an end to, otherwise everyone will follow suit, where will the king be?"

Li Ji took a deep look at Zhang Liang. Although he had already understood the character of this person, he still disdained him for wanting to be promoted so impatiently.

Now in the Tang army, he and Li Jing are considered to be the two biggest banners. Many Zhenguan ministers are surrounded by these two banners, which can be called two big mountains.Fang Jun, on the other hand, is a rising star who has sprung up all over the place. He doesn't have much to do with Zhenguan Xunchen, but he has embarked on a brilliant road of meritorious service.

The order of the entire army sequence is basically unshakable, especially after this mutiny, as long as His Majesty secures the throne and wipes out the rebels, the position of power will be fixed for a long time, and anyone who wants to rise to power will have to find another way.

For example, uniting civil servants, with the support of civil servants, starting a new stove...

Obviously, Zhang Liang probably had such an idea, otherwise why would he get involved with Liu Ji?
But he doesn't care, the people who run around like dogs are nothing to worry about.

He looked at Liu Ji first, and said calmly: "Liu Shizhong's job is to assist His Majesty in handling government affairs. Military affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Counselor of the Military Aircraft Department. How can you be qualified to comment on the few military books you have read?"

Everyday, he said a few words to Liu Ji, the civil official leader, and made the other party blush. Then he looked at His Majesty, ignored Zhang Liang, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has learned from you. I have worked with Cheng Yaojin for many years, and I know it well. Disposition, since you have openly declared your allegiance to His Majesty this time, we will cut off the two ends of the headless rat and the vacillating reason."

He knew Cheng Yaojin too well, the reason why this guy was vacillating before was because he didn't know who would win in the end, and he didn't want to tie himself to the chariot of any party to bear the disaster.

Now that he has voluntarily withdrawn from Mingde Gate, he must have chosen to stand on His Majesty's side, and as long as Cheng Yaojin chooses his goal, he will be indomitable and will not change his life or death.

At this time, to issue an order or deprive him of his title, he can only be completely enraged and stand on the side of King Jin. This is simply a divine assist...

No wonder Fang Jun has always looked down on Liu Ji. This person is really short-sighted, extreme, and difficult to become a great talent. Compared with Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Xiao Yu, he is far worse than 01:30 points.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and asked: "Then what should we do in Yinggong's opinion? Just wait for Cheng Yaojin to arrive at Xianyang Bridge slowly?"

Li Ji said: "Duke Lu must have some scruples in his heart. If His Majesty can ignore the past and appease his heart, he will surely be able to make him perceive His Majesty's generosity, and then do his best to serve His Majesty."

Before the words fell, Liu Ji had already shouted: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
