Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Li Er's eyes were filled with excitement. He really had not expected that Li Yuanji had accomplished so many things in the years since he left the Tang Dynasty.

Any of these tasks is extremely difficult, but now, Li Yuanji has done it.

He was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Li Yuanji before. Even though he had made the decision, he still felt dissatisfied.

But now after hearing all this, Li Er was really convinced of Li Yuanji. He had long seen his civil and military skills. As for the military skills, the vast fiefdom that Li Yuanji once possessed was conquered, not created out of thin air.

Now, in terms of governance, the biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty has been solved and the land has been truly distributed to all the people. He has really done it and saved people from hunger and cold. Li Er recognizes these achievements from the bottom of his heart.

If Li Yuanji did not perform so well and was not so far ahead of him, he would not accept it. If Li Yuanji was even worse than him, he would scold Li Yuanji even if he knew he would die.

But Li Yuanji was so outstanding, so outstanding that he could not even dream of matching him.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Er's sudden praise, and then he smiled. He smiled with great relief. This was the Li Er he knew.

Although they were enemies before, they had to fight. Even though he won in the end and Li Er lost, it cannot be said that Li Er was a bad person.

On the contrary, Li Yuanji always felt that Li Er was very strong, both in civil and military affairs, and especially in his broad mind, which was rare.

The old Li Er now, on the contrary, does not have the narrow-mindedness and suspicion that he had when he was an old emperor in history. After experiencing so many ups and downs, coupled with his already outstanding abilities, Li Yuanji believes that the current Li Er is probably even better.

Now that he received praise from Li Er, Li Yuanji was still happy in his heart. Although this happiness was a bit plain, it was still very good.

After all, if it weren't for him, Li Er would be the strongest carbon-based creature in the seventh century, and the two were enemies before, both wanted to kill each other. Now that Li Er praised him, Li Yuanji was somewhat happy.

He could see from this praise that Li Er had let go of many of his past grudges after so many years.

At least he is much better than Li Yuan. Look at Li Yuan, even in that state, he was still thinking about the position of emperor, you can see how hopeless he is.

"Brother, this is the first time I've heard compliments from you. It's really rare. I'll accept these compliments because I think the same way."

"Haha, it's indeed Third Brother who did a good job. You did what I always wanted to do but didn't have the ability to do. You are better than me.

Judging from the current results, you are more suitable to be the emperor than me. Today's Tang Dynasty is completely free from external threats, and the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.

Throughout the dynasties, countless emperors have wanted to achieve things, and now they have been realized by you, my third brother.

I am afraid that no one can surpass the emperor's achievements."

Li Er was really sighing. No one could have imagined that the Li Yuanji would have achieved such success today.

Li Yuanji smiled when he heard this and shook his head.

"To be honest, I have no intention of competing with anyone, I just want to develop the Tang Dynasty.

When I first went to Lingnan, I was just worried that you, my second brother, would bring a large army to take my head, so I could only keep developing.

At that time, I never thought that I would achieve what I have today. I just did my best for the Tang Dynasty and its people. "

Li Er did not feel any disgust when listening to Li Yuanji's bragging. He had been an emperor, and he knew very well that now that he had achieved everything, he must brag about it.

But when I heard Li Yuanji say that he was afraid that he would lead his troops to attack Lingnan, I couldn't help laughing.

In fact, if Jie Li had not led the Eastern Turks to attack Chang'an, if this incident had not happened, the first person to send troops would really be Li Yuanji.

But all of this was destroyed by Jie Li. After the Weishui Alliance, he could only develop first. If he sent troops again or started a civil war, people all over the world would probably have objections, and Jie Li would probably make a comeback again.

It was because of Jie Li that he did not send troops to attack Li Yuanji immediately, which allowed Li Yuanji to become more powerful.

Li Er came back to his senses and stopped thinking about those things. Instead, he looked at Li Yuanji seriously.

"Third brother, now that I'm here, just come and do whatever you want.

I have asked Li Junxian to control those alien races. You can send troops to kill them all. I really don't have a good impression of the alien races with that appearance.

I have almost cleared out the surrounding alien races, and I'll leave the rest to you.

But I have one thing to ask of you, just this one thing. Cheng Qian and Qing Que are your two nephews. Although they are not children anymore, could you please spare their lives and put them under house arrest?

This is my first and last request to you. They can no longer pose a threat to you, my third brother. I hope you can agree."

After Li Er finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to salute Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji grabbed Li Er.

Li Er looked at Li Yuanji blankly, his eyes full of hope.

Now that Li Er has gone through so many things, he no longer has any other ideas. He only wants to keep his offspring with his Guanyin maid alive and leave them a way to survive. For this, he is willing to exchange his own life.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Er with complicated feelings in his heart. The current Li Er was different from the Li Er he knew, but there was no change.

"Brother, let's sit down and talk. You are my elder brother, so why should you bow to me? I cannot accept it.

Actually, the reason I came to see my second brother this time was to tell him about this matter.

If it were seven or eight years ago, I really wanted to kill my second brother, and I would have wiped out the entire clan, but so many years have passed, and those thoughts have gradually faded.

Now my second brother doesn't have those thoughts anymore, so why would I? Although we were enemies, we are brothers after all."

Li Er was moved when he heard Li Yuanji's words, because he knew that at this time, Li Yuanji didn't need to lie to him, nor did he need to use him to show his magnanimity. Instead, killing him was what the Tang Dynasty officials wanted to see.

It was precisely because he believed that what Li Yuanji said was true that Li Er was extremely moved. Li Yuanji said this to undoubtedly show him that he would not only give Li Chengqian and Li Tai a way out, but also give him a way out.

While Li Er was moved, he also did not want to make things difficult for Li Yuanji. He knew very well that if he spared his life, Li Yuanji would be under great pressure, and those under him would probably not agree.

Li Er then looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Chengqian, Qingque, why don't you thank your Third Uncle quickly? You must listen to your Third Uncle from now on. Forget everything that happened before. Take good care of Li Zhi from now on. You must do whatever your Third Uncle says. Do you understand?"

Li Chengqian and Li Tai did not agree immediately and hesitated for a moment. However, this moment made Li Er very angry and furious.

In Li Er's opinion, the hesitation of Li Chengqian and Li Tai meant that they were unwilling to give up and still wanted to make trouble. Now, the way to survival he had sought was about to be blocked by these two unfilial sons.

Li Er stood up and kicked each of them to their knees.

"Remember what I just told you. From now on, you only listen to your Third Uncle. No matter what your Third Uncle tells you to do, do it immediately!
Forget everything that happened before, live a good life and don't think about anything, that's the only way to be worthy of me and your mother!" Li Chengqian and Li Tai no longer hesitated and immediately knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Thank you, uncle. I will obey your words from now on. I will never think of anything else!"

Li Er looked at Li Yuanji and said a little embarrassedly: "Third brother, nothing happened between the two of them, but don't worry, they are very obedient and will never do anything to embarrass you, third brother.

Please take care of them, my third brother. As long as they can survive, that's all."

Li Er looked at Li Yuanji with eyes that were almost pleading. Now his wish was very simple. He just hoped that Li Chengqian and Li Tai could survive, and he would be content.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai who were kneeling on the ground, then looked at Li Er, and helped Li Er to sit on the chair with both hands.

"Second brother, there's no need to talk about that. You and your two nephews will be fine."

After patting Li Er's rough hand, Li Yuanji then looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Chengqian, Qingque, you two should get up now. Don't be nervous. You heard what I just said, and I am not joking with you. I need to discuss the next matter with your father, so you should come along.

But let's go back and discuss this first, and get the business done first."

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Li Er said without any hesitation: "Third brother, you have said it. Now that I am here, everything is up to you."

Li Yuanji smiled immediately, took Li Er, Li Chengqian and Li Tai back to the camp, and then summoned Xie Shufang and others.

When Xie Shufang and others arrived, they were all surprised, especially Xie Shufang, who was extremely shocked.

The rest of the people were fine. Neither Xi Junmai, Songtsen Gampo, nor Tan Dian had ever seen Li Er. As for Xue Rengui, he had never seen him either.

Xi Junmai and his friends had seen Li Er's portrait, so they were a little surprised, but not sure.

Xue Rengui didn't feel anything at all because he didn't know anything at all.

Xie Shufang had met Li Er before. He had met him more than once or twice in Chang'an. How could he not be familiar with Li Er?
"Your Majesty, who is he?"

Xie Shufang looked at Li Yuanji in shock. He didn't expect that Li Yuanji had met Li Er and now brought Li Er back.

"It's just what you think."

Li Yuanji's words undoubtedly confirmed his guess. Xie Shufang was stunned and couldn't understand what Li Yuanji was going to do.

Now that Li and Li Yuanji have been brought back, should they be killed? And should this war still be fought?

Li Yuanji did not explain to them and spoke immediately.

"All the generals, listen to my order. Lead your troops to the enemy camp immediately. Except for the Han people, all others will be killed!"

"According to the order!"

Xie Shufang and his companions suppressed their doubts, left the camp and launched an attack.

Li Yuanji then looked at Li Er and asked, "Do you want to go and take a look?"

At this moment, Li Er was still surprised by Li Yuanji's decisiveness. He really didn't expect Li Yuanji to be so decisive and actually killed him directly.

In fact, if it were a few years ago, Li Yuanji would still have taken prisoners, because the Tang Dynasty also needed a lot of coolies. But now, there are already a lot of coolies in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is road construction or mining, they have already found a place to work.

In addition, as mechanical equipment became more and more popular, there were not so many people needed. In the Tang Dynasty, people from aristocratic families and people who committed crimes were doing these jobs.

Li Yuanji had no intention of bringing in these foreigners. Once these places were under his control, he would have plenty of people to do these things, not just the tens of thousands of people he has now.

Li Er looked at Li Yuanji and just laughed.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Li Er did not refuse. Now he also wanted to see how powerful the Tang Dynasty's army was.

Li Yuanji took Li Er out of the tent, and when they saw the car coming and stopped, they were stunned.

"What is this?"

“It’s a car.”

Li Yuanji looked at Li Er, whose face was full of confusion and shock, and did not explain too much. If he explained one by one, he would be too busy to keep up with what happened next.

He took Li Er into the car and headed straight to the front line.

Along the way, Li Er was still marveling at the fact that there was actually a "car" that could be driven by just a few wheels without the need for a horse to pull it, and one could just sit on it.

However, when he saw Li Yuanji's army on the road, all of them were cars pulling soldiers, all wearing new equipment, and each of them held a gun in his hand that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to him, he fell silent for a moment.

Especially when he saw the big truck and the huge cannon pulled behind the truck, Li Er became even more silent.

Li Er followed Li Yuanji to the front line and saw the army launching an attack. The same artillery shells seemed to be bigger and farther in power and landed directly on his original camp.

Then the army rushed over in cars. Through the telescope, Li Er could directly see that after approaching the camp, the Tang army directly began to use firearms, especially when a machine gun that could fire continuously appeared among them, Li Er was silent again.

The battle was over in less than half an hour. His troops did not put up any struggle at all and were completely wiped out by the Tang army.

At this time, both Li Chengqian and Li Tai had completely run out of ideas in their minds. They could not have any ideas facing the Tang army as it was.

As enemies, they feel nothing but despair.

After a long time, Li Er put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Li Yuanji.

"Third brother, I am no longer worried about the Tang army. They are very strong, stronger than I ever thought possible. They are able to resolve the war so quickly. I am afraid that no one in this world can stop the Tang army."

What Li Er said was true. Some of his 80,000 soldiers were equipped with muskets and cannons, but their weapons were of no use at all and 80,000 of them were lost just like that.

With these 80,000 men and this equipment, he could dominate the surrounding areas. With such a powerful Tang army, Li Er really couldn't think of anyone who could stop it. (End of this chapter)
