Chapter 199: Departure to Chang'an + Unexpected Visitor "It's okay, with Rengui's strength, those cats and dogs can't cause him any trouble, and this palace is quite confident in this."
Li Zhen said with a smile, it's not that he looks down on the other fifteen guards, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the sixteen guards is about the same, if the strength of the leading generals between them is about the same, Xue Rengui wants to win fifteen times the enemy, it is simply impossible - the problem is that in terms of generals, where is the quality of the generals supported by Li Zhi comparable to Xue Rengui?
It's even impossible to say that there is no comparison at all, right?
As the old ministers were imprisoned by Li Zhi one after another, this action did help Li Zhi completely grasp the authority of Chang'an City, at least on the bright side, no one dared to oppose him, but this decision was not without side effects, that is, without the assistance of the old ministers, it also led to no one available in his hands, and now whether it is in the court or in the military camp, in fact, it is the people installed by the family to support, that is to say, Li Zhi has been set up by the family at this time.
Although not all the people in the family are scholars who can only read, and there are also some people who practice martial arts and govern the army, where will such a character be Xue Rengui's opponent?
You must know that it is Xue Rengui, who is a well-known existence in history, although he is not among the top ten famous generals in Chinese history, but that is mainly because he has a defeat in Dafeichuan, which is the only failure in his life, and it is precisely because of this failure that he has left a stain on his record, resulting in him not being as invincible as the rest of the famous generals.
And in addition to this defeat, Xue Rengui is also victorious in a hundred battles, and he is a new generation of Tang Iron Wall after Li Jing and Li Ji, who has made the alien race lose his armor and abandon his armor, and tremble as long as he hears his name - the prestige of 'Three Arrows to Set the Heavenly Mountain' and 'Take off the hat and retreat from all enemies' is not just talking.
And such a peerless general, how can his command art be compared with a group of people who can only talk on paper?
Therefore, even if the number of enemies was more than ten times that of him, Li Zhen still had absolute confidence in Xue Rengui and thought that he could not fail.
Even if he is frustrated, even if Xue Rengui is really invincible with two fists and four hands, and he can't beat more than ten times the enemy, with his ability, he can completely hold the camp, at least until Li Zhen returns to Chang'an, it is no problem - take a step back and say, even if Xue Rengui really fails, with the strength that Li Zhen left in Chang'an City, it is enough to ensure Xue Rengui's safety.
"Inform Rengui, let him not act rashly, and don't think about the inside and outside, the palace has its own opinions about Chang'an, and he should not be needed.
Now his most important task is to try to protect himself, and if the enemy is invincible, he will immediately give up military power in order to preserve himself.
After understanding Xue Rengui's situation, Li Zhen gave this order - yes, he did not intend to face Li Zhi head-on, but don't forget that war will produce destruction.
Although with his current strength, it is not too simple to defeat Li Zhi, the problem is that if the two armies start a war, it will inevitably cause large-scale damage to Chang'an City, which is not what Li Zhen wants to see, so unless it is a last resort, Li Zhen will not choose to confront Li Zhi on the battlefield.
Of course, even if he didn't go to war directly, the power that Li Zhen planted in Chang'an Cheng was enough to destroy Li Zhi, but although the damage caused by the means of assassination was a little better than going to war directly, it was inevitably too unbright and not in line with Li Zhenjun's status as a ruler in the world.
Not to mention that it may not be useful to just kill a Li Zhi, after all, although Li Zhi is nominally the emperor, in fact he is a puppet supported by the family, and in the case of most of the old ministers being deposed, the family controls the entire Tang Dynasty, so it is not so much that the current emperor is Li Zhi, but that the family is the emperor.
Therefore, it is definitely not enough to get rid of a Li Zhi, and even if Li Zhen's subordinates just kill or capture Li Zhi alive, without a name, the family will become a thief, then they will definitely go crazy immediately, and once the family goes crazy, the destructive power may be more terrifying than a direct war, so it is better not to stimulate the family, or not to stimulate them for the time being, and slowly settle the account in the future.
It's just that how to end this rebellion, Li Zhen is actually still thinking about it, and the best way is to take it by surprise and put down the rebellion of King Jin in the shortest possible time.
But in any case, going to war directly is not Li Zhen's best choice, and the assassination is a failure, so he must think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Therefore, for Li Zhen, Xue Rengui's insistence is actually unnecessary, as long as he can save his own life, for Li Zhen and Datang, twenty or thirty thousand left guard soldiers are nothing, at least a little worse than Xue Rengui.
After all, in a way, Xue Rengui is also very important to the Tang Dynasty, after all, thousands of troops are easy to get, one general is hard to find, thousands of generals are easy to get, and one handsome is hard to find, and Xue Rengui is one of the few in the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said that he is the only peerless handsome talent, and in the future, Li Zhen will conquer the world, but he will rely on a handsome talent like Xue Rengui.
"Prepare for the rest, we'll be on our way in two days."
Li Zhen determined the time to leave, because just now, Zhang Lang sent news that the 100,000 Junior Army had reached Guannei Dao under the cover of the Chamber of Commerce and was hidden, and could be assembled at any time.
Now that the time is ripe, Li Zhen will naturally not be polite, although he does not plan to go to war, but the choice of starting a war or not is only Li Zhen, if his number is too small, Li Zhi may not rely on the strength of the crowd to go out of the city and fight with himself - if the battlefield is placed outside the city, Li Zhen does not mind telling Li Zhihua why she is so popular.
"Yes." …… Two days later, the prince's guard of honor walked out of Dengzhou City, and this time it was not just an empty shell, this time Li Zhen was really inside.
In addition to the 10,000 young soldiers who escorted the prince's guard of honor, the marines who returned with Li Zhen this time were also brought by Li Zhen, and in addition to the troops left behind, Li Zhen brought a total of 200,000 people.
This Marine Corps is also considered the elite of the Tang Dynasty, although it is not as good as the Youth Army and the Foreign Legion, but it is not much worse than the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an, with the elite momentum of the 200,000 Marine Corps, plus the 110,000 Youth Army, it is not a problem to fight a mere Chang'an City - even if there are more than 300,000 forbidden troops in Chang'an City, Li Zhi has gathered all the government soldiers near Guannei Road during this time, and there are a total of one million troops in Chang'an City at this time, but in the face of Li Zhen's 300,000 people, it may not be able to hold it.
However, on the afternoon of the army's departure, Li Zhendu had not yet left the Dengzhou jurisdiction, and an unexpected visitor came......
Or rather, the arrival of an uninvited guest stopped the pace of the army, so that the army, which could have walked more than ten miles, had to stop.
At that time, Li Zhen was sitting on the car with his eyes closed, because it was a cement road, so the car walked very smoothly, and he almost didn't feel a little bump - it is said that since the cement was made out by himself, Datang has been carrying out crazy infrastructure construction in the past 20 years, especially in terms of roads, and has built a total of ten traffic trunk lines with five vertical and five horizontal, and the rest of the branch lines are countless.
The cement road from Dengzhou to Luoyang is the expansion of the highway from Chang'an to Luoyang in the past, and now this road has been renamed Yudeng Road, because this road starts from Dengzhou and extends to Yumen Pass in the Western Regions, which also includes Luoyang and Chang'an, two super cities.
In other words, as long as he follows this road, Li Zhen can directly reach Chang'an from Dengzhou at the fastest speed.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the attribute of the infrastructure madness is not the patent of the Chinese people in later generations, but since the ancestors of the Chinese people, this attribute has been hidden in the bones, but in ordinary times, because of the bad year, the ancients couldn't even eat their stomachs, so they naturally didn't pay attention to infrastructure, but once they ushered in the prosperous era and lived well, they immediately began to engage in infrastructure construction - the most typical representatives are the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, especially the Great Wall, the Qin Dynasty that built the Great Wall is a pervert, And the major dynasties that have maintained the Great Wall for more than 2,000 years and have not been abandoned have also been perverted to the bones.
However, just when Li Zhen sighed at the attributes of the Chinese people's infrastructure madness, he suddenly felt that the car under him stopped, making his body stumble and almost fall down, Li Zhen stabilized his body and was about to ask, when he saw the warrior in front of him who was responsible for guiding the way hurriedly ran to report: "Report to Your Highness, there is an envoy in Chang'an who has come to see you by holy order!"
” Li Zhen was taken aback suddenly, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and said in a deep voice: "How many people are coming?"
” "One envoy, more than ten guards!"
Gong Wei Liang next to him heard this: "Your Highness, Chang'an sent an envoy at this time, I'm afraid that the person who came is not good, most of it is the conspiracy of the King of Jin, should we kill him directly?"
” "It's okay, it's just a child's trick, let's see it first."
Li Zhen got up and got out of the car, and then said in a deep voice: "Please come here and read the holy decree!"
” "Yes!"
After a while, a eunuch palace in his thirties led more than ten guards to swagger over, Li Zhen recognized the person, it was Wang Fulai, the personal eunuch next to Li Zhi, from a distance, Wang Fulai shouted at the top of his voice: "Yue Wang Li Zhen takes the order!"
” "Bold."
Before Li Zhen could speak, Yu Chi Baoqing stood up and scolded sharply: "Your Royal Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the title of King Yue has long been lost, who gave you the courage to dare to change His Highness's title without authorization, you can't find death?"
” "Hmph."
Wang Fulai did not have stage fright at all, and just snorted coldly in the face of the reprimand: "The first emperor has died violently, when today's son is the ninth brother of King Yue, the son of heaven has not yet established a prince, how can the prince say it?"

Of course, if King Yue wants to be the crown prince, it is not impossible, as long as King Yue is willing to surrender to the Son of Heaven, I think the Son of Heaven should also recognize the identity of the crown prince of Yue......
Hahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
The guards brought by Wang Fulai laughed at the same time, obviously saying that if Li Zhen was Li Zhi's son, it would almost 100% anger Li Zhen, but they were not afraid at all, because they knew that they would die in this line, and their family had already been arranged by Li Zhi, and they were ready to sacrifice their lives.
And they are not even afraid of death, where will they be afraid of Li Zhen?
Naturally, they can do whatever they want, not to mention just letting Li Zhen be Li Zhi's son, if Li Zhi and Li Zhen are the same father, scolding Li Zhen is scolding Li Zhi, I am afraid that they will even scold Li Zhen's eighteenth generation ancestors cleanly.
"Bastard, I'll kill you."
Yu Chi Baoqing was so angry that his face turned red, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, as if they would collapse at any time.
The faces of Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang and the others were also ugly, Tie Qing, who was racing one by one, all said that the lord humiliated the ministers to death, they watched Li Zhen being insulted, if they didn't still have a little sense, I was afraid that they would have pounced on Wang Fulai and his party to kill them cleanly.
"Don't take advantage of it, let's hurry up and announce the decree, I want to see what my ninth brother wrote in the holy decree."
Being so insulted, it is impossible to say that Li Zhen is not angry, and he wants to kill them immediately, in fact, in Li Zhen's eyes, Wang Fulai and his party are already dead ghosts, but before killing them, we have to see what tricks Li Zhi is playing.
"It's fine."
Wang Fulai opened the holy decree, cleared his throat, and said arrogantly: "Li Zhen, the king of Chayue, has been sitting in Lingnan for many years, spending empty money on food and salary, working in vain, Lingnan is poor, the people are not living, they have lost hope, and the first emperor collapsed, but the king of Yue did not fulfill his filial piety in time, and he was extremely unfilial......
Now give him his own death, and his handsome position will be taken over by the eunuch Wang Fulai!
Chin this!
” As soon as these words came out, the generals were stunned.
After reading the holy decree, Wang Fulai pushed the holy decree forward with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yue, please accept the decree?"
” Li Zhenniao didn't bird him, but asked left and right: "Why does this charter sound so familiar?"
Where do you think you've heard a similar story?
” Du He couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, you forgot, isn't this the method used by the second emperor Hu Hai to force his son Fusu to death during the Qin Dynasty?"
” Li Zhen pretended to be abrupt: "Oh yes, yes, yes, it turns out that my ninth brother is playing this trick, it seems that he plans to emulate Hu Hai......
But Bengong remembers that the Qin Dynasty was destroyed when it reached Hu Hai's hands, right?
” "Bold Li Zhen, you actually dare to curse the Son of Heaven?"
Wang Fulai shouted: "Okay, you rebellious Li Zhen, you not only cursed the Son of Heaven as Hu Hai, but also cursed the Tang Dynasty Jiangshan II and died, it is simply disobedience and unfilial piety, and it is really a crime that deserves death......
With this alone, don't think about the position of the crown prince - now the holy decree is now, if you can obey the decree and apologize, the Son of Heaven may pardon you and let you be buried in the imperial tomb after death, if not, the Son of Heaven will definitely crush your bones and scatter ashes, so that you will become a lonely ghost, you will not be able to return to your home, and you will not be able to ......live forever."
"It's so daring......"
Qin Huaiyu shouted, took out his saber and put it on Wang Fulai's neck, as if he had received a signal, and the surrounding guards also drew their weapons and grabbed the guards brought by Wang Fulai.
