Chapter 379: The War of Mortals Is Not Over Yet
Yin Yang didn't dare to figure out the holy will without authorization, but Li Hong's words made him can't help but think about it.
The academy is a fixed needle for the Tang Dynasty, but for the Li family, it is an extremely uncertain factor.
Especially after the master slashes the sky, the prestige of the academy will definitely reach a peak, which is good news for the Tang Dynasty, but for the Li family, this is by no means good news.
Datang is everyone's Datang, and the Li family is just a custodian.
If one day the Li family does not do well, with the prestige of the master, it will be easy to change a custodian.
Yin Yang thought of this, and the movements in his hands slowed down slightly.
This small change was still felt by Li Hong, but he didn't say anything.
There are things he can say, but he can never explain.
What is the Divine Will, this is the Divine Will.
Because the power of heaven is unpredictable!
Now, the Heavenly Dao has lost to the master, and the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty has become the most powerful person in the Great Wilderness.
If Li Hong wants to maintain his dignity and authority, he must be more ruthless.
At this time, the voice of the personal eunuch came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Tao County Ling asks to see you." ”
Li Hong responded: "Xuan." ”
The eunuch's shrill voice sounded again: "Xuantao County order to meet you." ”
The door was pushed open, and Tao Chuankai, who was dressed in official uniform, bent down and walked in with his head down: "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
"Get up and speak. Li Hong motioned to Yin Yang that he didn't need to treat him.
Tao Chuankai straightened his waist slightly, but still maintained a humble and respectful posture.
Li Hong frowned: "Raise your head and look at me, and look down at what the ants are doing." ”
Tao Chuankai barely raised his head at this time.
"What I told you to do, how is the arrangement?" Li Hong asked lightly.
Tao Chuankai said: "Your Majesty, the minister still thinks that this is too rash and not the best choice." ”
Li Hong said: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade more. ”
"Minister, I see. Tao Chuankai bowed his head and replied.
Although Yin Yang was curious about what arrangements the emperor had made, Li Hong didn't say it, and he wouldn't ask rashly.
However, Li Hong didn't make him curious for too long.
"I asked Chuankai to consolidate the armaments. Li Hong said: "Because a big war is about to break out, this battle will be related to the lifeblood of Datang and even the entire Great Wilderness, and there is no room for any mistakes." ”
Yin Yang asked cautiously, "I don't know where the big battle Your Majesty said will take place?"
Li Hong walked out of the room, and then walked down the stairs next to him to the roof platform, Yin Yang and Tao Chuankai hurriedly followed, for fear that the emperor would fall off the roof with one foot in the air.
Li Hong stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest: "It's right there!"
Yin Yang looked in the direction of Li Hong's finger, and was suddenly shocked in his heart.
Because the position of Li Hong's finger is the direction of the temple coalition army.
If you look at them from here, you can even see the magnificent temple!
Li Hong actually wants to declare war on the temple!
Yin Yang's first reaction was that the emperor was crazy.
The war against the barbarians had just come to an end, and Li Hong turned his head to attack his ally, the Divine Temple.
Whether it is for Datang or the Li family, this is an extremely discredited move.
Yin Yang couldn't figure out why Li Hong did this.
It is true that the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Temple has lasted for many years, and all kinds of small frictions between the two sides have never stopped, but they both know in their hearts that as the two most powerful organizations in the Great Wilderness, they must not easily break out into war, because once their war breaks out, it will instantly sweep the entire Great Wilderness, and no country can stay out of it.
What's even more terrifying is that once the war breaks out, Datang will instantly fall into isolation and helplessness.
The other six countries of the Great Wilderness have no good impression of Datang.
Originally, there was also an ally of Yan Kingdom, but now Yan Kingdom is no longer attached to the Tang Dynasty, and has turned to the arms of the temple.
The master is indeed comparable to the sky, and the academy is indeed the strongest institution in the Great Wilderness.
But so what?
The war between countries can no longer be reversed by the ability of one person.
Tao Chuankai turned his heart sideways, and once again stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, please think twice." ”
Li Hong glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Yin Yang, who was still in a daze, and asked, "You all think I'm crazy?"
The two did not dare to answer.
Li Hong said: "This battle is not deliberately provoked by me, even if I don't do anything, this battle will break out.
Tao Chuankai said: "The minister is puzzled. ”
Li Hong said lightly: "The reason is very simple, the master defeated the sky. ”
"How could the temple, which had always valued the Heavenly Dao more important than life, allow such a thing to continue to ferment? They were desperate to do something to save their believers' faith and let the glory of the Heavenly Dao continue to shine in the hearts of these people. And the master is from Datang, and declaring war on my Datang is the last resort. ”
"So instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to take the initiative. I've never been a passive defensive person, and if they want to fight, then fight to the end. ”
Yin Yang originally wanted to say that all this was your Majesty's speculation, and the temple did not show any intention of attacking the Tang army.
But his idea was quickly shattered by reality.
Meng Zhulu, who was wearing armor and hanging a sword from his waist, walked in, knelt on one knee and saluted with both hands, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that King Jinzuo's cavalry is attacking Dawei City. ”
"It's just a wall-to-wall grass, I don't know who was bewitched, and I actually came directly to Dawei City, do you really think that my army is vegetarian?" Li Hong said contemptuously.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and the ministers will send the most elite soldiers to escort Your Majesty back to Chang'an. Meng Zhulu said.
"Chase the deer. Li Hong walked over and helped Meng Zhulu up: "You and I have known each other for 30 years, don't you know my temper? What's more, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I abandon my people and leave alone at such a time? How can King Jinzuo's cavalry be against my Xuanjia army? Not to mention that I still have you, the generalissimo, by my side! I have never been worried about my safety. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister will naturally do his best to protect your safety, but the minister insists that His Majesty leaving Dawei City and returning to Chang'an is the best choice. Meng Zhulu insisted on his opinion.
Li Hong said: "I can't leave yet, I won't leave until I see the destruction of the temple alliance." If Aiqing is worried about my safety, you might as well stay and protect me the whole time. Even if your Meng family army is not under your command, its strength will not decline too much. ”
Meng Zhulu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
"Since His Majesty has decided to stay, the minister immediately went to arrange for people to protect him. Meng Zhulu said.
Li Hong didn't leave him either, and waved the back of his hand outward: "Okay, go, go, go." ”
