Chapter 47 Scavenger
"So, can we regain the two capitals?"
"Why are you a mere pioneer? Even in terms of official positions, the prince is also a dignified Henan Jiedushi. It is really unfair to do this!"
"Yes, this vanguard position is really embarrassing. Even if our five thousand cavalry really do something great, this credit will be taken away by others!"
After Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan and others read the letter, they were a little unhappy at that time.
Although they could not say it clearly, anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Li Heng used Li Yan, but was still guarding against Li Yan. As for what he was guarding against, everyone knew, guarding against him to make contributions, and even more guarding against him and Li Heng's eldest son Li Yu for the position of crown prince.
"It's okay, I have said a long time ago that our enemy is An Qingxu. My father thought he had brought back the two capitals and the battle to combat the rebellion was almost done, but the fact is far from that. The two capitals were brought back. I am afraid that the war has just begun. We don't have to worry about the gains and losses at this moment. Even if I want something, it must be without external troubles in the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yi said this very generously, which made Zhang Xun and the others blushed and lowered their heads.
Indeed, An Qingxu was their biggest enemy. If everyone in the royal family was thinking about the position of crown prince at this time, then it would probably be a few days before the change of dynasty.
Li Neng replied to his old father Li Heng at that time. His words were quite earnest. He probably said that he could just let Li Heng take good care of it. He could not find Yin Ziqi's fault. He would definitely take it back to Chang'an and Luoyang as a pioneer.
Although Li Heng had many precautions for his son because of Li Fuguo and Li Mi who applied eye drops to Li Qing, Li Heng had always known Li Qing's ability. With Li Qing's words, Li Heng was not too panicked at the time.
This reminded him of what Li Qing said to him when he was ready to go to Shuzhong to avoid him at Mawei Post.
At that time, Li Qing knelt in front of Li Heng in armor and held a spear in his hand, and said, "My father went there for the sake of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, and for the sake of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Tang Dynasty, I can protect my father's safety!"
It was this sentence that made Li Heng firmly determined not to escape at that time, of course, for the throne that he has basically done quite steadily now.
How great would it be if Li Yu could have Li Yan’s courage!
This is a question that Li Heng thought of more than once, but he knew that it was basically impossible.
According to Li Heng's request for Li Yong, Li Yong must arrive in Fengxiang in early August. Li Yong knew that this was no different from the history he learned in his previous life.
That is, at the end of August and the beginning of September, Li Heng would launch a fierce attack on Chang'an City.
To use what the host often said when Li Qing watched a certain competition in later generations, it is that there is not much time left for them.
After this matter was settled, Li Qing did not train as blindly as before, but immediately summoned all four of them to his mansion to discuss what they should do.
"General Nan, tell me what would happen if our five thousand cavalry now faced with ordinary rebel infantry?"
Nan Jiyun didn't understand why Li Yan asked them what the result would be if they fought with infantry soldiers, but they didn't understand. Nan Jiyun was an expert in this regard.
"Just Yin Ziqi and those soldiers, our cavalry are like chopping melons and vegetables when they face them. However, the enemy guarding Chang'an City is probably much more powerful than the men and horses brought by Yin Ziqi!"
"Then take these two months to train our cavalry until we have to cut melons and vegetables when facing stronger infantrymen!"
"The prince means that most of the enemy troops we face in this battle will be infantry?"
"The rebels have been in Chang'an City and Luoyang City for quite some time, and my father has been in Fengxiang for a while. If the enemy generals were not fools, they should know that it would be a matter of time before we attack Chang'an City. Most of their cavalry were used to raid some cities with weak guards. In this case of defending the city, they would not keep the cavalry in Chang'an and Luoyang. Therefore, our role is to appear in places with anxious battles in time, and solve the stubborn diseases on the battlefield like a scavenger!"
After Li Yan finished speaking, Nan Jiyun and others nodded slightly. Whether it was based on the characteristics of the cavalry or the fact that Li Yan did not want to make any great contributions, Li Yan's analysis was fine. They should indeed play such a role when they fought Chang'an City.
In fact, Li Neng knew that in Chang'an City, the rebels were not afraid of Li Heng, and they were even waiting for Li Heng to attack intentionally or unintentionally, because if Li Heng, the banner of Emperor's name was cut down, the Tang Dynasty would definitely not be able to jump around.
At this time, Chang'an City gathered a large number of people who could be called famous generals in the rebel army, including Li Guiren, An Shouzhong, Zhang Tongru, Tian Qianzhen, etc. The lineup was actually stronger than Fengxiang's Tang army, at least on the surface.
"This battle will surely be a battle where the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road!"
"If the prince doesn't say that, we are still a little scared, but speaking of this, what our Suiyang people are most afraid of is tough battles. If you can die, you must retreat. Don't worry, the backbone of these five thousand cavalry is the elite soldiers we have guarded Suiyang before. They have never seen any battles? The first step for the prince to return to His Majesty, we have to help the prince take it out no matter how much!"
This cavalry can be said to be trained by Nan Jiyun. According to Li Yun's deployment, Nan Jiyun must really take them to attack Chang'an City. Nan Jiyun's current full enthusiasm and confidence is obviously to make Li Qing feel at ease in the morning.
"If we can really help them recover the two capitals, even if it is for the benefit of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it will be worth it to make some sacrifices for the Uighurs."
