Emperors chat group

Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, did not think that Emperor Suzong's act of massacring the city was a good idea, and said:

"Emperor Suzong, think twice before you act."

"If the city is really massacred, even if some Song generals want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, they will choose to fight to the death."

"If you want to teach the Song Dynasty a lesson, you should cut the Gordian knot quickly instead of getting stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate yourself."

Li Cunxu could foresee that if the Tang Dynasty really massacred every city it went to, Song Taizu and his men would definitely call on all the people of the Song Dynasty to fight to the death.

In this way, the war will be delayed indefinitely.

It's very possible to fight for three years or five years.

Will other dynasties sit idly by?
Seeing that he could not convince Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang, Li Heng, Emperor Suzong of Tang, looked at the remaining emperors and said:
"What do you think?"

"Anyway, I will not change my mind. Only by massacring the city can I terrify the entire Song Dynasty!"

"I just don't believe that those Song Dynasty soldiers would swear allegiance to a cowardly and incompetent emperor!"

Tang Xuanzong Li Chen hesitated for a moment and said:

"Emperor Suzong, I think what Yazi said makes sense. To defeat the enemy without fighting is the best strategy."

The Tang prince Li Zhi kept looking at his elder brother who was being treated by his father and said:

"How about a two-pronged approach? Using both kindness and force?"

"We defeated the Song army with an upright force and sent spies to persuade those Song officials to surrender."

"Then order someone to spread Emperor Suzong's plan widely, saying that the current crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is benevolent and does not want to commit murder."

"This will surely make the people and soldiers of the Song Dynasty surrender!"

Just as they were discussing, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, restrained his magical power and breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, the eyelids of Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, twitched and he woke up. He scanned with his mind and found that he had returned to the Tang Dynasty.

His injuries had healed, so he stood up, knelt before Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and said:
"I am incompetent, and I hope that the emperor will punish me."

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, helped up his eldest son, who had high hopes for him, and said:
"Cheng Qian, victory and defeat are common in the military. Don't be so careless in future fights."

"Your father is going to lead a large army to attack the Song Dynasty in three days. You can choose any army and general from the Tang Dynasty."

"I have only one request as a father, that is to beat the Song Dynasty hard! Beat them into submission! Beat them until they are terrified whenever they see the Tang Dynasty flag in the future!"

It can be said that Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, really wanted to personally command 10,000 Black Armored Army to turn the Song Dynasty upside down!
But now that he is the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, he cannot go to the battlefield personally every time there is a war. In the long run, it will be disadvantageous to the Tang Dynasty.

What the Tang Dynasty needs is a prince who is both civil and military, able to expand the territory, a future emperor, rather than a timid prince.

When the Tang prince Li Chengqian heard this, he was moved and said:
"Father, I, your son, will fulfill your mission!"

"I only want the Suiyang Army and the famous Tang general Zhang Xun!"

This statement came out.

The emperors who were arguing just now, such as Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang, Li Heng, the Emperor Suzong of Tang, and others, all changed their expressions.

Zhang Xun's reputation in the Tang Dynasty is comparable to that of Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of the Qin Dynasty and Chang Yuchun of the Ming Dynasty!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen Zhang Xun and the Suiyang Army to go on the expedition. I am afraid that wherever they go, not a blade of grass will grow.

Thinking of this, Tang Suzong Li Heng showed a proud smile and volunteered:
"Emperor Taizong, Your Highness the Crown Prince, your grandson will call Zhang Xun and the Suiyang Army right away!"

The Tang prince Li Zhi opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her, but for some reason, he gave up.

Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, stood up and advised:
"Your Highness, please think twice!" "Massacre in the city without any reason... may not be beneficial in the war."

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, looked at his eldest son in front of him, his expression normal, and asked:

"Cheng Qian, do you think what Yazi said makes sense?"

When Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, saw this scene, he immediately realized that his father was testing him again.

I sighed secretly in my heart, feeling extremely tired. On the surface, I pretended to be serious and said:
"Father, I have no intention of massacring the city. I just think that General Zhang has endless strategies and profound skills, and he will definitely help me win the battle."

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, nodded and said:
"Okay, then go down and get ready."

"Remember, you are the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"

Subsequently.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, walked out of the palace. Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang, Li Cunxu and others thought about it and lent their magic weapons to Li Chengqian.

The latter naturally declined and returned to the East Palace, bathed and changed his clothes. After a while, a guard reported that Zhang Xun, the commander of the Suiyang Army, had arrived.

The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, changed into a thin suit and left the East Palace in person. When he saw Zhang Xun, he smiled and said:

"General Zhang, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

Due to the numerous blood debts committed by Zhang Xun when he was stationed in Suiyang, Zhang Xun is now in a difficult situation in the Tang Dynasty.

The ministers who agreed with Zhang Xun naturally praised him as a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, while the ministers who disliked Zhang Xun for using the civilians in the city as food privately compared Zhang Xun to Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty and Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhang Xun saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming out to greet him personally, he bowed respectfully and said:

"Your Highness, I am Zhang Xun, here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"As long as His Royal Highness gives me orders, I will fight to the death to repay His Royal Highness's kindness!"

Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, smiled and took Zhang Xun into the East Palace. After the maid brought tea, he said:

"General Zhang, I want the name, but I also want everyone in the Song Dynasty to be terrified when they hear my name. How can I stop children from crying at night?"

When he woke up just now, he naturally understood what had happened.

It was just a little bit short. If it weren't for the protection of the Tang Dynasty's lucky dragon, he would have been killed.

Since the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty wants to put him to death, there is nothing more to say!
Zhang Xun had just been sent to the palace by Emperor Suzong himself. He had already learned why the Crown Prince was looking for him and had made preparations early.

After hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, he took out a map of the Song Dynasty from his storage bag and said:

"Your Highness, this is the current territory of the Song Dynasty. In terms of vastness, it is not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty."

"I believe that Song Taizu and Song Taizong are not incompetent and will definitely use battle formations to resist our attack."

At this point, Zhang Xun pointed to the north of the Song Dynasty's territory, a sea area that did not exist in the original history, and said:

"Your Highness, this is a newly created sea area in the northern border of the Song Dynasty, which houses hundreds of aquatic tribes."

"In my opinion, we can use their spear to attack their shield and turn this sea into a sea of ​​blood~"

His words were filled with unparalleled self-confidence and murderous intent so strong that it could not be dissolved!
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, asked:
"What if I am cursed?"

He knew that it would be absolutely right to ask Zhang Xun for help with this kind of thing!
Zhang Xun said calmly:
"Your Highness, this sea area was created by the Song Dynasty itself. We just happened to attack from here. What does it have to do with you if we are criticized?"
