Chapter XXXVIII

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report of 800 miles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Sheng Zhe suddenly whispered in Li Jingyao's ear.

Li Jingyao frowned, after all, this palace banquet is small, and the urgent report is big, so there is no intention of arguing with the Queen Mother, so Quan Dang acquiesced to her words.

"Imperial Brother ......" The seventeenth county lord happened to meet Li Jingyao who was walking out of the courtyard, and hurriedly stopped him to explain to the Zhong family, "Imperial brother, this matter has nothing to do with Sister Zhong!" At that time, many people in the hall were there, and they all saw it, it was Concubine Shu who fell down herself, and Sister Zhong didn't even say a word about her! ā€

"Okay, I know, you send your mother back, lest the queen mother see Concubine Shu and make trouble again." Li Jingyao patted her head and walked away quickly.

In the main hall, Li Xun and Wu Weizhong turned back when they heard that there was an eight-hundred-mile urgent report, and waited for a while before waiting for Li Jingyao, who was striding into a meteor.

"What's the situation?" Li Jingyao asked as he walked.

"Your Majesty, the Southern Han launched a war in the Xunwushui area where we crossed with the Southern Han, and Longnan has gotten out of control, and the specific motive is not clear." Li Xun was slightly excited in his words.

"Long Nan is out of control?!" Li Jingyao slapped the dragon chair and said angrily, "What's the matter?" What is the closest troop point to Longnan? ā€

Wu Weizhong was the first to think of it, and rushed to say: "It's Zhaozhou, where Yuan Qi led his troops to garrison." ā€

"Zhaozhou...... Immediately transfer troops from Zhaozhou to reinforce Longnan! Li Jingyao suddenly thought of Li Chu, if it weren't for Li Chu's foresight, it would be dangerous today.

"Quick! Little excerpt, go and invite Chaozong to enter the palace, be fast! ā€

Now that the thieves in the Western Capital have not been pacified, such a thing has happened in Longnan, Li Jingyao is really a little unable to support it, internal and external troubles occur at the same time, and there are no available talents in the DPRK and China, and it is really difficult to govern the country with the power of one person!

Li Jingyao was silent for a moment and looked at Li Xun: "You must remember that this matter must not leak the news, so as not to cause panic!" If someone dares to chew the root of their tongue, you know how to do it, so I don't need to teach you. ā€

Li Xun nodded heavily and said, "I understand!" Obey the Emperor's will! ā€

"Wei Zhong, strengthen your training in the past few days, and be ready to go on the expedition at any time!" Li Jingyao's expression was quite serious, he paused, and then asked, "I heard that the army of Northern Sichuan Prefecture has not been in good health these days?" ā€

Wu Weizhong was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister is already dealing with it, and the discipline in the army has been greatly improved these days, but the minister will continue to work hard until this army becomes an invincible warrior team!" ā€

"Good! I'm waiting, but don't let me wait too long, go down, if I need it these days, you must be with me, no matter how important it is at the time, you must leave to see me! ā€

"Yes!"

The vigorous responses of the two reminded Li Jingyao of the weak Fang Shi, who finally waited for the salute in the anxious pacing.

"No need to be polite, come over and see, Longnan has been lost, but the nearest troop point is here...... And here, I decided that Yuan Qi would lead the forces of Zhaozhou to support Longnan. Li Jingyao straightened up as he spoke, and said worriedly, "But I'm afraid that if Yuan Qi is defeated, then ...... The rest of the troops will not have time to reinforce, so the soldiers of the Southern Han will drive straight in, and Shu, Jin and Wu Yue will closely follow the Southern Tang, but I am afraid that they will follow suit......"

Li Chu looked at the map and thought for a long time before raising his eyes and said: "I understand what the emperor meant, the Southern Tang Dynasty forces are unevenly distributed, and once a hole is torn open, then the entire Southern Tang Dynasty will be eaten by all countries." ā€

Li Jingyao nodded, and said worriedly: "Six years ago, I personally conquered Southern Chu, and the courage at that time now seems to be reckless, if someone takes advantage of this to attack Southern Tang, I am afraid that today Southern Tang has long ceased to exist." I can't find that courage anymore. ā€

"The emperor was enthusiastic and won the war back then, so the monarchs of all countries were jealous, no one dared to make the first move, seeing that Nanchu would break with one blow, he was even more panicked, it was too late to build a city and defend it, how could he have the courage to attack Nantang?"

Li Jingyao's eyes flashed, and he said with a little enthusiasm: "What do you mean...... Will my relatives conquer the Han Dynasty inspire the soldiers? ā€

Li Chu shook his head, and said in a calm and powerful tone: "Actually, I think this war is not necessary, if there is a way to avoid this war and turn the war into a jade silk, wouldn't it save a trouble?" It will not be too late to mention this matter in the future. ā€

"But the war has already begun, how can we turn hostility into peace? I can't give up those cities, right? That would only make other kings look down on my country. Li Jingyao said with a hint of pride.

"And kiss." These two words suddenly popped out of Li Chu's mouth, and he looked at Li Jingyao cautiously and seriously, "This is the best expedient measure, what the Southern Han Dynasty has done today is only forced by the people's feelings, and when the emperor lowers the silver they pay every year, this matter will be settled." ā€

Li Jingyao sat down slowly, but only the face of the seventeenth county lord flashed in his mind, and he hesitated slightly: "Guanyi...... I originally planned to arrange a good family affair for her, but I married far away to the Southern Han Dynasty, is it too wronged for her? ā€

Although Li Jingyao felt wronged by Guanyi, Lichu knew very well in his heart that even if Guanyi stayed in the Western Capital, he would be used by Li Jingyao as a pawn to win people's hearts in the future, so does it make any difference where he marries?

Of course, if Guan Yi marries into the Southern Han Dynasty, then Li Jingyao will have one less chess piece, and Lichu's chances of winning will be one point higher, and the loose and chaotic situation of the court is the ultimate goal of Lichu.

On the other hand, Li Chu also has the intention to protect the Southern Tang Dynasty, if the Southern Han Dynasty destroys the Southern Tang Dynasty, then Li Chu and the cannibal gang he only uses will have no way to resist the tens of millions of soldiers of a big country, even if the people in the cannibal gang can fight with one enemy and three.

Without waiting for Li Chu to persuade again, Li Jingyao's eyes were shocked, and he had already made a decision, Li Chu had already expected Li Jingyao to make such a decision, had he really considered Guan Yi's happiness?

Didn't you also try to pair Guan Yi with yourself at the beginning, so that you could stay by his side permanently and work for him?

What kind of brother and sister relationship is something that does not exist in front of the emperor.

"I heard Wei Zhong say that a few days ago, someone disguised himself as a merchant and infiltrated the city, and you turned the city over and didn't find it? Is it a lack of manpower? Having a little trouble finding it? Li Jingyao suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Li Chu secretly sneered in his heart, Li Jingyao's ability to talk was really clever, and he replied with a faint smile: "It's me who is too nervous, and when I see some people sneaking around, I think they are traitors." Thinking about it later, I thought it was too funny, even if it was a rebel in disguise, what could three or four businessmen stir up? It also made people panic, and asked the emperor to condemn him! ā€

"What punishment is not punished, it's okay, I asked you to assist Wei Zhong in setting up city defenses, just to believe in your ability, you don't need to stand and tremble like this." Li Jingyao also smiled faintly, and the moment the two looked at each other, there was a slight collision of firelight.
