Chapter 137
The court officials were talking and talking in this hall. Although there were not many Li Yan, many people still regarded Li Yan as the one who could save the Tang Dynasty through this battle.
This is obviously not what Li Heng wants to hear, but there are also what he wants to hear. For example, the rebels have almost lost their elite cavalry, and it is basically just like that. It is only a matter of time before they are destroyed by the regiment.
In this court, Li Heng got the morale he had wanted for a long time, but it also allowed Li Yong to get what he had always longed for.
Of course, this must be good for the entire Tang Dynasty. It's good, but Li Yu, who has been standing under the ground, felt that he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable. He thought it would be great if he had gone there, but he also knew that in the war, he and Li were incomparable.
When Li Yu was not preparing to be the crown prince here before, he had no idea in his mind, but during this period, because Li Mi had been teaching him that he wanted to truly be the crown prince and became the emperor in the future, the idea of becoming an emperor has become stronger and stronger.
If you don’t want to fight for anything like power, you will basically not regard anyone as your enemy. But now that power seems to be within your reach, Li Yu will of course be more careful about situations that may pose a threat to him.
However, even though he felt uncomfortable, he still knew in his heart that Li Qing might not have the idea of competing with him. He was just working for the Tang Dynasty on the front line.
With this idea, Li Yu returned to his residence of Prince Guangping, but Li Yu got a bad idea from his teacher Li Mi.
"Prince, although you are now assisting in the political affairs in Chang'an City, do you know that compared to King Jianning making contributions on the front line, your work is not very good!"
"Oh? Why did the teacher say this? King Jianning and I both contributed to the Tang Dynasty in the way we are good at. If I lead my troops to fight against the Yuyang Raiders, I am afraid I will not be able to eliminate all ten thousand people!"
"I'm not talking about this, but the news itself has great doubts! Although I can't lead troops to fight, I still know how capable the most elite cavalry in our Tang Dynasty can be. Even if Li Yan is a god, he will not be able to destroy all 10,000 Yuyang cavalry with our Tang Dynasty. It would be a miracle to be able to escape unscathed. If he eliminated it all, I'm afraid there is something that cannot be known here!"
"Things that cannot be known to people? The Yuyang Tuqi was trained by An Lushan for great effort. What is unknown here? King Jianning and those people from Hebei Road should have no friendship!"
Li Yu obviously doesn't believe that Li Yi will have any connection with Hebei Road, so he still has a very incomprehensible statement about Li Mi.
"King Jianning will not have any friendship with them, but in this matter, King Jianning must have reserved something. According to Li Guangbi's return, it was the Yuyang Tuqi who chased King Jianning's cavalry to the south of Hebei Road. After that, King Jianning destroyed the 10,000 Yuyang Tuqi and cut off Luo Yue's head. What happened? But even Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi didn't know what the power of King Jianning was hidden in the dark. If you, King Guangping, didn't know, do you think he could help you with peace of mind after you became the prince or even became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
In Li Mi's heart, it was impossible for five thousand Suiyang cavalry to destroy 10,000 Yuyang cavalry.
But Li Mi knew that he could not tell Li Heng about this idea, at least he could not tell Li Heng before the war in Hebei Road was over.
So he could only let Li Yu know his worries. In fact, from Li Mi's perspective, this was not to provoke the relationship between Li Yu and Li Yong, but to grasp his own position as the crown prince for Li Yu.
But what Li Mi didn't know, and what he said aroused something in Li Yu's mind that he hadn't had before. Li Mi was indeed very clear about the strategy, but he didn't study it too deeply about people's hearts.
His influence on Li Yu almost destroyed this originally good emperor in the future. Of course, neither Li Mi nor Li Yu, they now don’t know about this.
Li Heng breathed a long sigh in his heart, but a seed had been planted in Li Yu's heart.
In front, the battle on Hebei Road had reached almost the most critical moment. On the third day after Shi Siming led his troops back to Youzhou City, the generals in the city came to report that the Tang army actually arrived at Youzhou City again.
"Hmph, how many troops can the Tang army be left after this battle?"
Obviously, Shi Siming was not afraid of the Tang army's siege, but this time he did not want to fight with the Tang army. Instead, he wanted to defend the Youzhou City, wanting to consume some more Tang army's troops, and then take the army out and take them down in one go.
In Shi Siming's opinion, the Tang army was just a desperate bet, and it must be Li Qing who issued a death order in Chang'an City, so they could only attack. People who did not understand war came to command the war. This was the reason why the Tang Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in the past. Of course, Shi Siming now thought so.
But after a day passed, things did not develop towards the plot that Shi Siming imagined, because the army led by Li Neng and Li Guangbi did not immediately start attacking the city, but instead surrounded Youzhou City with not many people.
The county seat of Youzhou is the largest city in Hebei Road. The reason why Shi Siming chose to face the enemy instead of Fanyang was actually the sturdiness of this city.
However, the Tang army actually gave up the advantage of concentrating troops and chose to siege Youzhou when its troops were not enough. This was really an operation that even Shi Siming could not understand.
However, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are not mediocre. Shi Siming doesn't believe that if he leaves the city, he can defeat the Tang army. His first reaction is that this is a bait from Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi to him, and he is waiting for him to go out of the city to attack them.
