I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 720 Traitor
Hou Junji also said: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. If Wu Sangui gets angry and embarrassed."

"He didn't dare."

Li Zheng said confidently: "Shang Kexi is not stupid. He knows who is more dangerous, so he will not act rashly. All you have to do is add fuel to the fire."

"For example."

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the map. He said, "First, send someone to tell them that Wu Sangui has proclaimed himself emperor and announced that he will invade the south. Let them be prepared."

"What will happen to them?"

"There will definitely be vigilance, and then there will be an alliance."

"Which party will they look for?"

"Of course it's me."

Li Zheng grinned and said, "They will think that I am the best choice, so they will unite and fight against the powerful enemy together."

"What a vicious strategy."

Hou Junji was surprised and said, "If I hadn't witnessed your majesty's wisdom with my own eyes, I would have thought you were just a reckless man."

"Reckless man?"

Li Zheng said calmly: "I am the emperor, I should put the overall situation first."

"Then your majesty, when do you plan to send out your troops?"

"Three days later."

Li Zheng snorted coldly, "In the next three days, I want to see what tricks Wu Sangui wants to play. If he doesn't behave, I will send him to death!"

"According to the order!"

Li Zheng stood up, glanced at the two of them with cold eyes, and then walked out.

Hou Junji touched his head and asked curiously, "Your Majesty seems to have other intentions?"

Not only did he hear the hidden meaning in Li Zheng's words, Li Kan was also a smart man, so of course he understood it.

"Your Majesty's meaning is very simple. Now Wu Sangui has taken action, but the Prince of Pingnan and the Prince of Jingnan are still waiting and watching. What we need to do is to incite them to send troops. It would be best if we also declare ourselves emperor and risk the world's disapproval."

"By then, there will surely be many fence-sitters who will show their true colors, and we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Li Kan is worthy of being a celebrity who has been with Li Zheng for many years. He has basically figured out 80% of Li Zheng's thoughts.

Hearing this, Hou Junji suddenly realized something, and then his face changed drastically, "If both of them declare themselves emperors, then wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be in danger?"

"will not."

Li Kan shook his head and said, "They are not that stupid. Once they become emperors, they will be fighting against all the princes in the world. This is not only because of the large area involved, but also involves the distribution of many interests. So they will never become emperors."

"But... Your Majesty won't let them go?"

"meeting."

Li Kan said decisively: "Of course not. Your Majesty never intended to let them go from the beginning. These people are seeking death. They can only wish for the best."

"Then I will mobilize troops now and prepare to march south."

Li Kan nodded, and after Hou Junji left, he sighed, "It's really unbearable to go against His Majesty."

As Li Zheng's orders were issued, the entire Tang army became busy again. Li Kan came to Li Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei in various places have begun to take action. Do you have any other instructions?"

Li Zheng looked to the south, exhaled slowly, and said lightly: "This time we need to pay attention to a target, a woman."

"woman?"

Li Kan was stunned for a moment. Could it be that His Majesty wanted to take another concubine?
However, Li Zheng's next words made him give up this idea.

"Chen Yuanyuan is Wu Sangui's concubine. As long as we control her, we can control Wu Sangui."

Li Kan smiled bitterly and said, "But this woman rarely goes out."

Li Zheng said calmly: "You think I am that kind of incompetent ruler. If I were an incompetent ruler, I would have been killed hundreds of times already."

This sentence sounded a bit ominous. Li Kan coughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how could he be a tyrant?" Li Zheng nodded, "Since ancient times, beautiful women have brought disaster. Do you know how to use Chen Yuanyuan?"

"this…"

Li Kan was confused. The only method he knew was torture. Now that Li Zheng wanted him to use Chen Yuanyuan, he was a little confused.

"You do not understand."

Li Zheng glanced at her and said calmly, "It's not the torture method. I want you to make her ours. Do you understand?"

"Ahahahaha...I understand!"

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "Remember, do it secretly and don't let anyone notice it."

"I understand."

Li Kan left excitedly. Li Zheng looked at the sea of ​​clouds beside him and murmured, "I want to see what waves these traitors can stir up."

In the Prince of Pingxi's Palace, Wu Sangui was sitting in the main seat drinking tea. His teacup was empty, while Yang Yizi was kneeling beside him with his head lowered.

There was the sound of footsteps. The subordinate looked up and saw that it was a man. He quickly stood up to greet him and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty."

Wu Sangui smiled and bowed: "No need to be polite."

Wu Sangui glanced at the man and asked, "Have you discussed the news?"

"Your Majesty, I have just arrived at the hall. Today, the Prince of Pingnan and the Prince of Jingnan exchanged envoys. I guess they are discussing the matter of becoming emperor."

Wu Sangui pondered for a moment and said, "I guess these two old foxes can't sit still anymore."

Yang Yizhi said: "Your Majesty, since they are anxious, why do you still hesitate?"

Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "You underestimate them. If I hadn't declared myself emperor, they might still be unable to bear it. But if I had declared myself emperor, they would have wanted to kill me."

"What about that?"

"Drag it."

Wu Sangui frowned and said, "I want to wait until Li Zheng leaves for the battle before I take action. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, my life will be in danger."

Yang Yizi lowered his eyebrows and said: "I am stupid."

He was indeed stupid. He even guessed wrong the reason for becoming emperor at this time.

Wu Sangui sighed and said, "If I come back alive..."

My son will inherit the title, but he is too young to lead the army, so someone must help him. This is a bait."

Yang Yizi's lips trembled for a moment, and finally he remained silent.

He didn't know what to say, because the matter was too serious. If there was any negligence, it would be disastrous.

But Wu Sangui obviously had no intention of explaining, and he was in a very happy mood.

That meant that he was one step closer to reaching the summit, and this feeling made him unable to contain his inner excitement.

But then his brows gradually became filled with worry, and he murmured: "I just hope nothing goes wrong, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, His Majesty would not let someone go."

The sound made the room suddenly silent.

"Who?"

There were two people standing at the door, but at this moment they seemed as dull as wooden sculptures, until a crossbow arrow broke through the air and pierced directly into the neck of the man on the right with a "puff". Blood spurted out and he fell with his head raised.

The man on the left was startled and rushed forward with his sword drawn.

He was halfway through his attack when he suddenly felt his legs go limp and his body froze, unable to move.

"who is it?"

He shouted with difficulty.
