Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six: Breaking the drum and beating
Wang Mingyi's panicked attitude fully demonstrated the seriousness of the matter.
Compared with the initial information passed by Hu Shier, Wang Mingyi, who rushed to Wuyi, brought more detailed first-hand information.
Li Ze expected Chengde to fail this time, but he never expected that he would be defeated so miserably. Four thousand soldiers and 30,000 soldiers in the palace were actually destroyed.
Wang Mingyi in front of him was completely gone without the noble young master's behavior who was calm in the past, but instead stood restless and panicked on his face.
"Uncle said, "Young Master, you are also a descendant of the Li family. At this time when Chengde is alive, the young master should raise his troops and go to Shenzhou to help the war. Now the main force of Chengde has lost most of its strength, and every little force is precious. At this time, you must not have any unfair intentions." Wang Mingyi looked at Li Ze with a gaze. "As long as you survive this disaster, no matter what it is, it will be easy to discuss. Uncle said that as long as the young master sends troops, he will definitely stand firmly on the young master's side in the future."
Li Ze pondered for a while and asked, "Where is Shenzhou?"
Wang Mingyi's head reacted very quickly and immediately understood the point in Li Ze's words.
"After Suning retreating, he was placed under house arrest by the Jiedushi. Now Shenzhou has been controlled by the Jiedushi, and all the remaining military forces have been reorganized. Governor Su has now become a completely short governor."
Li Ze was excited when he heard this news. Suning can be said to be his biggest enemy now. This guy's intention to kill him is probably stronger than Li Che. If this guy still has power and has soldiers, Li Ze would not want to go to the territory of Shenzhou.
But is the old man worthy of his own trust and worthy of his life?
Li Ze had no confidence at all.
"What do you think?" He turned his gaze to Tu Lichun, Yang Kai and others.
"Of course you have to go, of course you have to go." After finally waiting for the opportunity to speak, Yang Kai jumped up excitedly, and the few small pockmarks on his face that were not very conspicuous seemed to be shining at this moment. "Little young master, the eldest master is defeated, and his life and death are uncertain. At this time, the young master brought reinforcements into the game. As long as he can turn the world around and protect Chengde, all the problems will be solved."
Although Yang Kai had been dancing happily before, he had been trying his best to make Li Ze's life, but in fact, when he dreamed at midnight, he was worried? Because no matter how he looked, his life was still hanging on the line.
But now, things are completely different.
The young master will make a brilliant appearance, and he will inevitably jump from a path of intestinal treacherous to an extremely wide official path. As the first group of followers and supporters of the young master, is it worth mentioning?
Of course, the premise is to first preserve the virtue of our ancestors.
So he was more eager to send troops at this moment than anyone else.
This is the moment when he reverses his destiny, it is the moment when he may bring glory to his ancestors, and it can make him a moment when future generations praise him. How could he not be excited?
Li Ze glanced at Yang Kai without any comment and set his eyes on Tu Lichun.
"Young master, I think it's time to send troops." Tu Lichun looked at Li Ze and said. "Where does the hair stay with you? If there is no Chengde left, what else can I fight for?"
Li Ze knew very well that his subordinates, both civil and military, would definitely agree to send troops, although their starting points were different. He looked at Wang Mingyi and asked softly: "Brother Wang, I naturally understand the truth that if the general is not covered by hair, I am naturally aware of it. Now I just want to ask, what name should I send troops under?"
Wang Mingyi yelled, understood what Li Ze said, but became even more at a loss. This question was very big, and there were too many things in it. Obviously, it was no longer a problem that he could answer or solve.
I'm afraid even his uncle can't answer this question.
"Am I still carrying the flag of Yang County Magistrate?" Li Ze smiled, "Or might I put on a flag with the words "Wuyi Volunteers"?"
Li Ze spoke humorously, but no one laughed in the audience.
Because there are serious political issues involved.
If Li Ze sent troops in his name, he would be to officially announce his identity to Chengde and the world. This was precisely the most secretive issue in Chengde before, and it also officially put the internal dispute between Chengde on the table.
It is easy to pull out the troops, but the next problem will not be solved.
How did Li Anguo explain to his subordinates? He publicly acknowledges Li Ze's identity?
You should know that over the years, Chengde's subordinates have already recognized Li Che's heir status. I don't know how many people have lost their sincerity to Li Che. The grudges and hatreds between Wang and Su family have mixed together have made things more complicated.
If Li Ze sent troops openly like this, he would be afraid that after the people arrived in Shenzhou, there would be major problems within Chengde. When the enemy was in front of him, internal strife would start to strife. Wouldn't he dig his own grave?
From this perspective, it would be better to let Li Ze send troops and stay in Wuyi honestly.
Of course Li Ze understood that this was a good opportunity.
He threw out the question and threw it to his old man for him to choose.
Of course he was willing to send troops, but there must be a prerequisite for sending troops, that is, the formal recruitment of Li Anguo, the governor of Chengde. This recruitment is an recognition of his identity and a declaration of his political status. It allows him to officially appear on this political stage in a dignified manner.
It would be impossible to send troops in a mess without mentioning the white market.
If the old man came to Shenzhou like this, and the old man put himself in house arrest, what could he do? How much resistance the generals like Tu Lichun and Shen Congxing had in front of his old man was a serious questionable question.
Then I am saying that it is a home delivery!
Wang Mingyi obviously understood the clues here, and immediately stood up and said, "I understand what the young master means. I will go back and report this to my uncle immediately. However, I still have to ask the young master to prepare for all the troops. If everything goes well, then please ask the young master to send troops to Shenzhou for rescue as quickly as possible."
Li Ze nodded: "Of course. If there is a formal recruitment order, then I, Li Ze, will naturally send troops to rescue Shenzhou immediately."
"You can't send troops!" Before Li Ze finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside, and then a man appeared in front of everyone in the room with sweat on his head.
"Slaying the tiger?" Li Ze looked at the other party and screamed in surprise, "Aren't you in Henghai? Why are you back?"
Tu Hu stood in front of everyone, wiped the sweat from his face, and shouted: "Young Master, you must not send troops to Shenzhou now."
"What's the reason?" Wang Mingyi, Yang Kai and Tu Lichun in the room asked in unison.
"Henghai has fallen to Lu Long." Tu Hu said word by word. "Liu Chenglin's troops have retreated from Yingzhou, and the occupied Zhang Wu has returned it to Lu Long intact, but this is not the most important. The most important thing is that Zhu Bin, the governor of Dezhou in Henghai, has gathered 1,000 soldiers and 10,000 soldiers in the palace, and is preparing to invade Yizhou."
Li Ze's face changed color, Yang Kai's face turned pale. Wang Mingyi even fell on the chair with a loud bang. The room fell into a dead silence.
Henghai took advantage of the situation to rob, and the time to choose was really amazing! Shenzhou was in crisis. Cao Xin, the governor of Yizhou, gathered all his troops to Shenzhou for rescue, but he did not expect that the backyard would catch a fire at this time.
It's not just an ordinary small fire, it's a big fire that can destroy the world.
After a while, Li Ze took a deep breath, smiled lost his head, and said, "This is really an old saying, "That's the truth, people beat the drum."
Everyone swallowed and finally understood why Tu Hu said that he could not send troops. Cao Xin left with the large army. Now Yizhou is an empty shell, and the only army is Li Ze's hand, a team of less than 3,000 people.
Li Zedi stood up. He could not go to rescue Shenzhou, but the people of Henghai had the idea of fighting Yizhou, and they wanted to touch his territory in Wuyi. This was to pry his foundation! Even if they fought for their lives, they would fight them back this time. Henghaijun wanted to beat Cheng De, the dog who fell into the water, and he had to ask himself whether he agreed or not!
The answer is certainly decisive!
Not willing!
If you dare to come, I will break your paws.
"Brother Wang, go back and tell Cao Gong that he can help Shenzhou with confidence. If you invade the sea, I, Li Ze, will take care of it with all my strength. Keep it safe and will not cause any damage to Cao Gong's Yizhou." Li Ze punched the table.
Wang Mingyi was already in chaos. After hearing Li Ze's words, he felt as if he had caught a life-saving straw and nodded repeatedly: "I'll leave right away, young master, please. If you have any needs, you can send someone to Yizhou. As long as it is available in Yizhou, Wang will definitely get it for you."
After seeing off Wang Mingyi, Li Ze looked at Tu Lichun, Yang Kai said, "There is nothing to fight for now, and there is nothing to hesitate. If we don't fight Heng Haijun away first, we will lose even our underwear. Lichun, Yang Kai, gather all the forces that can be gathered. Although we don't go to Shenzhou, if we can defeat Heng Haijun in this battle, then we will still be famous all over the world. I want everyone in this battle to know that in Chengde, there is also a person like Li Ze."
"Abide by the order!" Tu Lichun and Yang Kai were both infected by Li Ze's high emotions. They bowed solemnly and turned around and strode away.
Li Ze stood in the room and clenched his fists tightly.
The troubled times finally came irreversibly. The fight between the governors from various parts of the Tang Dynasty officially kicked off, and the last fig leaf of the court was torn off.
Chapter completed!
