Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 99 Li Xiaogong and Luo Yi!

"To my surprise, it would be like this..."

General Wang looked bewildered.

He could never have imagined that the truth would be so unexpected.

That child….
That child is too scary, isn't he?
It took him only ten years to establish the Great Yan Empire on the other side of the sea, and he conquered the entire West in ten years. Now he has returned with an army of one million.

This….
How incredible this is, and how amazing it is to the world!

No wonder….
No wonder, no wonder!
No wonder Luo Yi always followed Li Chengdao even though no one understood him.

The child was still young at the time, but he definitely showed some qualities of a king, which was seen by Luo Yi, so he followed him wholeheartedly.

When no one understood Luo Yi, Luo Yi had already seen the potential of that child before everyone else and followed him fiercely!
And the cross-sea career in the past ten years is enough to prove that the child... is worthy of being followed by Luo Yi, the former legend of the Tang Dynasty!

Ten years ago,
That kid is just a kid.

And now ten years have passed.

The child from that year has grown up now. I believe that the child must be more terrifying and more powerful than before.

"Can we...can we win? This war."

General Wang choked up and looked at Yuchi Jingde.

His eyes were full of confusion.

If before fighting with Luo Yi, he was sure that the Tang Dynasty would win.

Because he loved the Tang Dynasty and his own country so passionately, no one would believe that his country would fail.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has swept across the world and its reputation has spread among all nations.

Such experience also proves that the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly powerful!

He doesn't believe in failure!
Regardless of reason or justice, the Tang Dynasty has the power to crush everything!

Can….
The appearance of Luo Yi, the appearance of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, the appearance of that child…
Everything,
All of this is enough to prove that this war is not that simple.

The child left after being defeated in the war. At that time, he must have understood the power of the Tang Dynasty better than anyone else.

Now ten years have passed,

He has made a comeback, and since he knows the Tang Dynasty very well, he must be sure of defeating the Tang Dynasty, which is why he sent troops to the Tang Dynasty, right?

And if the Tang Dynasty fails, fails...
Then this….
When General Wang thought of this, he felt a splitting headache.

He never thought that the Tang Dynasty would fail, so he didn't know what to do after the Tang Dynasty failed.

"We're going to win, right?"

General Wang looked at Yuchi Jingde with burning eyes.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

I longed to hear a positive answer from Yuchi Jingde.

However, Yuchi Jingde shook his head and said solemnly: "I don't know."

"I only know that he is stronger than he was ten years ago. Of course, we are stronger too, but who is stronger, I don't know."

General Wang stood there in a daze.

Then, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"General Yuchi, are you and General Li still planning to keep this a secret?"

"My army was completely wiped out because of the asymmetric intelligence."

"If we continue to conceal the news about that child and those famous Tang generals, there may be more losses similar to ours."

"Should we tell them the truth?"

Yuchi Jingde was shocked when he heard this. Tell everyone the truth.

Really...want to tell me?
He was a little confused.

But in his heart, Yuchi Jingde was already inclined to tell the truth.

There is no other reason.

The prerequisite for concealing the truth is that they can completely eliminate Li Chengdao's army.

But now?

One of Li Chengdao's troops was destroyed.

But the branch in Jiangdong is still at large.

Not only that, when the Tianshu Camp arrived this time, they wreaked havoc all over Liangzhou. The iconic figures of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun must have been seen by many civilians and soldiers.

How can this be kept secret?

It seems...it is indeed time to tell the truth.

Even if Li Chengdao's identity would be a threat to His Majesty after it was revealed, it would be better than many soldiers not knowing the reason.

In the war in Jiangdong, the defense forces of the three major counties died in confusion.

The same was true of the armies of General Wang and General Li.

If they knew in advance that this was Li Chengdao's army, also from the army of the once famous Tang general, would they be more cautious and reduce more losses?
Yuchi Jingde wasn't sure.

But he can be sure of one thing, as the Tianshu Camp continues to travel around Liangzhou, more and more people will know that the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun belong to Dayan.

The truth can no longer be concealed!
"I cannot make a decision on this matter yet. I need to report this to His Majesty and let Him make the decision!"

Yuchi Jingde spoke slowly.

There are pros and cons to telling the truth or not telling the truth about this matter, and the impact is extremely far-reaching.

Yuchi Jingde believed that this was not something he could decide.

It should be handed over to the king of the Tang Dynasty, the former General Tiance Li Shimin, to decide!
Hearing this, General Wang sighed and said, "Your Majesty? It is time for Your Majesty to make the decision. After all, this matter is too serious."

Yuchi Jingde nodded and said, "General Wang, can you... keep this a secret for now while I report this to His Majesty?"

General Wang lowered his head dejectedly: "Okay... Anyway, I also need time to accept this."

"General Yuchi, do you know how devastated and desperate I was when I learned that my opponent was the legendary general Luo Yi? I even had a brain mess on the battlefield."

"Now that the two armies are at war, we should not reveal Luo Yi's identity to prevent some generals from losing their will to fight. I can see this clearly."

Yuchi Jingde breathed a sigh of relief: "General Wang, I'm glad you understand."

"By the way, after Luo Yi defeated your army, where did he lead the Tianshu Camp to go next?"

Hearing this, General Wang thought for a moment and spoke slowly, "I was released by Luo Yi. On the way back, I met the King of Hejian. After I informed him of the identity of the enemy, the King of Hejian led his Youzhou cavalry and headed straight for Luo Yi."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the King of Hejian is chasing Luo Yi's Tianshu Camp!"

"General Yuchi, how about...letting the Prince of Hejian retreat? He is very strong, but can he be a match for Luo Yi?"

Hejian King Li Xiaogong is recognized as one of the top three generals in the Tang Dynasty, and is respected by the world as the God of War of Youzhou Fortress.

Every time I go to battle,
When he went into battle, no one doubted that he would fail.

The moment he goes into battle, it marks the countdown to victory!
This is a widely held idea in many people's minds.

The same is true for General Wang.

however,
The opponent he faces now is the legendary general from the Tang Dynasty, Luo Yi!
Back then, Luo Yi was so strong that it was despairing. Now, Luo Yi has fought in the West for ten years and has returned to the Tang Dynasty after experiencing hundreds of battles. With ten years of experience, he must be... stronger than before.

Can the King of Hejian be his opponent?
General Wang couldn't help but feel worried.
