Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 151 You are really my good nephew! [Please give me a monthly ticket]

Looking at the retreating Tang army, Liang Shidu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he had a vague bad premonition.

After a moment, he turned to look at his cousin Liang Luoren and said in a deep voice, "When will the reinforcements we requested from Jie Li Khan arrive?"

"Your Majesty, according to news from the Turkic side, Jie Li Khan has agreed to send troops, but there is no definite news on when the reinforcements will arrive!" Liang Luoren replied respectfully.

"hateful!!"

Liang Shidu slammed the wall in dissatisfaction and couldn't help complaining, "You've consumed so much of my supplies and food, and now at this critical moment of life and death, you still dare to neglect me like this! Jie Li is increasingly disregarding me!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Luoren tentatively said, "How about I send someone to urge them?"

"Why are you rushing us?!" Master Liang scolded Liang Luoren angrily, then looked around at the generals behind him: "All of you, stay here and don't go anywhere! Even if you die, you must die here!"

After saying this, he suddenly realized something and narrowed his eyes: "Where is Li Zhengbao? Where is he?"

"This"

The generals exchanged glances, and then a young general cautiously said, "Your Majesty, the general was hit by a stray arrow while trying to stop the Tang army's harassment the other day, and is now recuperating in his residence."

"You said the general was injured?"

Liang Shidu was surprised: "How come I don't know about this?"

"Your Majesty, it was the General who told me not to tell you, saying he was afraid you would worry and it would affect the morale of the Liang State!"

"Oh, I see!"

Liang Shidu nodded in understanding. "General, you have such good intentions for me and the State of Liang!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The generals laughed a few times.

But Liang Shidu changed the subject again: "But you knew the truth but didn't report it, deceiving the emperor. What crime should you be punished for?"

"what?!"

The young general was taken aback, as if he had not expected that General Liang would view the matter in this way. He was about to argue, "Your Majesty, I did not..."

"Pfft!"

Before he could finish his words, he was stabbed to death by a guard behind Liang Shidu.

"what!"

When the generals saw this, their pupils suddenly shrank.

The guard said expressionlessly, "Deceiving the emperor is a crime punishable by death!"

After saying that, he kicked the young general's body off the city wall.

Liang Shidu just watched coldly without saying a word.

It wasn't until Liang Luoren took the lead and knelt on the ground that the other generals reacted and knelt down together, saying in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Humph!"

Liang Shidu snorted coldly, then looked down at the generals from above, saying word by word, "From now on, no matter what happens, you must report to me immediately. Otherwise, you know the consequences!"

After saying this, he left the city wall with his guards without saying a word.

Not until it completely disappeared did the generals get up from the ground with cold sweat on their foreheads, and looked at each other with lingering fear.

"It's been several days now. His Majesty has become increasingly cold-blooded and ruthless recently. I really don't know when it will be my turn."

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words!"

"The people in the city are divided now. Can we really resist the Tang army?"

"enough!"

Seeing several generals complaining endlessly, Liang Luoren stopped them in a bad mood, then looked around and asked in a low voice: "Don't you want to live?"

"Grand Commander, it's not that we don't want to live, but with Your Majesty like this, we have no way to live!"

"Yes, Grand Commander, you must find a way for us!"

"What can I do? Let's all go back to our respective stations and guard them!"

Liang Luoren waved his hand to interrupt the generals' complaints, then looked down at the city with a gloomy face and slowly closed his eyes: "Tell someone to bury Xiaobao properly, and don't tell my cousin!"

"Yes!"

the other side.

On the east side of Tongwan City is the residence of the general of Liang State.

Li Zhengbao frowned and kept tapping the table with his fingers. No matter whether it was the pressure from Tang Jun or Liang Shidu, he couldn't sit still.

Li Yuanbao, who was standing by, was carefully pouring tea for him. "Uncle, this is a pure tea from the Tang Dynasty. Please try it. I guarantee you've never tasted it before!"

"Humph!"

Li Zhengbao snorted softly when he heard Li Yuanbao's words, then picked up the teacup and said calmly, "I'm afraid this was secretly sent to you by Changsun Wuji again?"

"Uncle, you are very observant. Lord Changsun's thoughts are beyond the reach of your uncle!"

Li Yuanbao smiled wryly and said, "He just wants his nephew to incite you to rebel and submit to the Tang Dynasty!"

"As for what he said about avenging his nephew, I don't believe it at all."

"Oh, why don't you believe it?"

"To be honest, uncle, I am your nephew. How could I not know how important I am to you? Besides, if I were wrongly killed, I wouldn't want you to avenge me! If I hurt you, I, your nephew, would never rest in peace!"

"Hahaha!"

When Li Zhengbao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then he looked at Li Yuanbao with satisfaction and said, "You are really my good nephew!"

"hey-hey."

Li Yuanbao smiled slyly and was about to continue flattering Li Zhengbao when a voice suddenly came from outside the door, announcing, "General, Generals Xin Liaoer and Feng Duan are here to visit you!"

Li Zhengbao frowned slightly, then looked at Li Yuanbao: "Did you tell them that I was injured?"

"No!"

Li Yuanbao quickly denied it and slapped his forehead. "Oh no! I forgot to tell Xiaobao to report to His Majesty first! They must have been sent by His Majesty!"

"Hmph! You're incapable of accomplishing anything, but always capable of causing trouble!"

Li Zhengbao glared at Li Yuanbao unhappily, then shouted, "Hurry up and get some bandages to wrap around my wound! Otherwise, they'll notice!"

"Oh, yes, yes, uncle, wait a moment, I'll be there right away!"

Soon, Li Yuanbao seemed to react. He brought a bandage to Li Zhengbao, wrapped it around his arm, and cut his own hand himself, leaving some blood on the bandage.

After all the disguises were completed, Li Zhengbao asked the servants in the mansion to invite Xin Liaoer and Feng Duan in.

"General! We heard from His Majesty that you were injured?"

"Yes, General, your injury is not serious, right?"

As soon as they entered the door, Xin Liaoer and Feng Duan asked about Li Zhengbao with concern.

Li Zhengbao forced a smile and said weakly, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and thank you, Generals, for your care!"

As he said this, he was about to stand up and return the greeting to the two of them.

"Oh, no, no, His Majesty said that the general should have a good rest and not overwork!" Xin Liaoer hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Zhengbao and sent him back to his seat.

At this time, Feng Duan smiled and complimented him: "The general is the pillar of our Liang State, and nothing can happen to him!" "Haha."

Li Zhengbao smiled noncommittally, then turned to Li Yuanbao and said, "Yuanbao, serve tea to the two generals!"

"Yes!"

Li Yuanbao responded respectfully, and soon brought a cup of tea to Xin Liaoer and Feng Duan.

"This is."

Xin Liaoer picked up the teacup, opened the lid, and was stunned.

Li Yuanbao's face changed when he saw this. He was about to explain when he heard Feng Duan beside him exclaim in surprise: "Tuan Huang Cha!"

"I didn't expect the general also likes this tea!"

"Uh, this."

Li Zhengbao was embarrassed, not knowing how to explain. However, Xin Liaoer looked at him with a half-smile on her face, "General, where did you get this tea?"

"This, this, this"

"It's me! I'm honoring my uncle!"

Seeing that Li Zhengbao was hesitating for a long time and couldn't say anything, Li Yuanbao quickly stepped forward, which touched Li Zhengbao deeply.

However, just when he thought Xin Liao'er would continue to ask questions, he heard Xin Liao'er change the subject and said with a smile: "This tea is good, General Feng and I also like it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengbao and Li Yuanbao looked at each other with strange expressions.

At this time, Feng Duan blew the tea stems out of his tea and said nonchalantly: "To be honest, General, we came to visit you on the orders of His Majesty, and we have brought soldiers with us."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengbao immediately stood up from his seat and asked in astonishment, "Excuse me, Generals, what is going on?"

"Hey! General, don't be nervous!"

Xin Liaoer smiled and raised her hand to signal Li Zhengbao, then picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has no other intentions, he just wants to protect the general."

"I'm recuperating in my own residence. Do I need the protection of two generals?" Li Zhengbao's face darkened.

But Feng Duan continued, "General, do you know what happened when His Majesty was inspecting the city walls today?"

"I didn't go to the city wall, how would I know!" Li Zhengbao said unhappily.

Feng Duan smiled faintly: "Although the general did not go to the tower, some people died because of him."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengbao and Li Yuanbao looked at each other in surprise.

Xin Liao'er couldn't help but sigh with a sense of grief. "After years of war, the food consumption has already increased several times. Now the Tang army is constantly harassing the city, causing panic among the people. Your Majesty is also restless and his temper has become even more violent. We are Han people, but we are forced to work for the Turks. I've had enough of these years!"

"Yes! His Majesty resents the Central Plains Dynasty, yet he wants to drag us down with him! Now everyone is in danger, and we are terrified!"

"Two generals, you..."

Li Zhengbao looked at Xin Liaoer and Feng Duan in disbelief, wondering what they were up to.

Xin Liaoer glanced at Li Zhengbao with a complicated expression and said calmly, "General, do you know who died for you today?"

"Who?"

"Feng Xiaobao!"

"what!"

Li Zhengbao was shocked and turned to look at Feng Duan: "Brother Feng, this..."

"Don't worry, General. I know this matter has nothing to do with you. What's so hateful is that Liang Shidu, he doesn't even care about family ties and kills without hesitation!"

Before Li Zhengbao could finish his words, Feng Duan angrily interrupted him, saying with murderous intent, "Tongwan City is now surrounded by enemies on all sides. Looking at the Liang State, no matter what they do, they will find it difficult to reverse the decline. The general must be well aware that the Liang army is doomed. If we continue to follow him, we will only die!"

"This"

Hearing this, Li Zhengbao fell silent instantly.

Xin Liaoer stroked his beard and chuckled a few times, then analyzed with a clear-sightedness, "The Liang army has been operating in Shuofang for many years, and they must have planted many spies. Since the Tang Dynasty declared war on Liang, the Liang army has sent troops three times, but was defeated by the Tang army every time. And the reinforcements from the Turkic side have also been slow to arrive. He must be unaware of the current situation in Liang!"

"However, he is still determined to oppose the Tang Dynasty and refuses to surrender!"

"What does this mean? Isn't this just dragging the Liang Kingdom to be buried with him? No one would sit still and wait for death!"

"That's right!"

Feng Duan echoed, "Looking at the entire Liang State, the only person who can stop Liang Shidu is the general!"

"Now, we are here to protect you on behalf of Liang Shidu, but in reality, Liang Shidu has grown suspicious of the general and is afraid that you will secretly defect to the Tang Dynasty!"

"As the saying goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people you doubt. Master Liang's actions are truly disheartening!"

"Therefore, in this difficult situation, we have come to ask the General to carefully weigh the pros and cons and find a way out for us!"

These words seemed to be in accordance with Li Zhengma's lead, but in fact they were completely excluding the two of them.

But Li Zhengbao ignored Feng Duan's little tricks.

"As you just said, Liang Shidu has been operating in Shuofang for many years, and his influence is quite deep. Furthermore, there are also people in Liang State who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid he has long been prepared for someone to harm him. If he acts rashly, you know what the consequences will be."

After pondering for a long time, Li Zhengbao said with a little concern, then raised his head and drank the tea in the cup.

At this moment, Li Yuanbao, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "In a few days, it seems to be Empress Liang's birthday. Given how much Liang Shidu dotes on her, even if the country is in chaos, Liang Shidu will definitely hold a grand banquet for her with singing and dancing. Why don't we take action then, kidnap Liang Shidu, and bring the whole country back to Tang?"

Li Zhengbao and the other two were slightly stunned when they heard this, and their hearts were greatly moved.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew the door open and rushed into the room in an instant, carrying flying sand and rocks.

Li Yuanbao rushed forward to close the door, while Li Zhengbao raised his injured arm to block the flying sand that blew into the room.

"Snapped!"

Just then, pieces of colorful paper flew in from outside the door and scattered everywhere.

One of the yellow papers flew directly onto Xin Liaoer's face. He was so angry that he grabbed it and was about to curse.

But then a cry of surprise came from the door: "Uncle, come out and see! There is something flying in the sky!"

"Ok?"

Li Zhengbao and the other two were stunned again, and then looked at Li Yuanbao with confusion.

"What's flying?" Feng Duan spoke first.

Li Yuanbao said in confusion, "It looks like a Kongming lantern! But it doesn't look like a Kongming lantern! Ah! It's going to fall!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Zhengbao glared at Li Yuanbao unhappily, but couldn't help but walk towards the door out of curiosity.

Above Tongwan City, a huge hot air balloon with a bamboo basket hanging from it was slowly falling.

At the same time, during the fall, countless papers fell out of the hanging basket, like fairies scattering flowers in the sky, scattering all over the city.

"This"

Just when Li Zhengbao was speechless, Xin Liaoer's surprised voice suddenly came from behind him: "General! This is a letter from the prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
