Li Longji asked Li An to bring some more soldiers and horses to the planing land, naturally he was worried about Li An's personal safety, such an excellent rising star is a rare talent in the Tang Empire, once it is damaged, it will be a huge loss to the Tang Empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li An naturally understood that Li Longji valued himself, and his heart was slightly excited, paused, and said with his fists clenched: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead six hundred dragon warriors to the land, plus logistics soldiers and horses, a total of 1,000 people, these are enough." ”

Li Longji nodded: "Okay!" Let the people who originally went to the East Woman Country with you continue to go to the land with you, and in addition, once the situation in the land is critical, you can ask Zhang Qiu and Qiong for help at any time, and you must not take risks. ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares, and Weichen understands."

Li Longji sighed: "I will arrange the money, food, weapons and armor needed for recruiting troops as soon as possible, and it should be sufficient in five days. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys."

Li An took the order with indignation.

Li Longji waved his hand lightly, and Li An retired and left slowly.

Looking at the back of Li An leaving, Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi beside him, and said softly: "Li An is good at breaking the rules, finding what is most beneficial to himself, and burning six acres of weeds with a fire is a kind of courage, let him be responsible for quelling the rebellion, I believe that this must be the most correct choice." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen also believes that General Li can achieve victory as soon as possible."

"If Li An can really use 3,000 troops to recruit troops and quell the rebellion, the hot spring palace will not need to be stopped, and the burden on the imperial court will not be too heavy."

Colliers nodded in agreement.

Li An strode along the corridor of the palace, and the officials and eunuchs he met along the way all cast surprised eyes, they all looked at him in surprise, they all knew about Li An's arson in the backyard of his home, but looking at Li An's current state, it seemed that not only was he not reprimanded by the emperor, but he was also rewarded, this abnormal situation, I am afraid that anyone will feel strange when they see it.

"It's really ...... that General Li has committed such a big taboo and has not been punished by His Majesty at all."

"What's so strange about this, General Li's son and mother fought a battle, annihilated 20,000 elite border troops in Tubo at a small price, and personally beheaded the prince of Tubo, Lang Zhidu, such a great credit is placed here, how can Your Majesty deal with him?"

"No, merit is merit, negligence is negligence, how can this be confused."

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to use troops against the land, maybe it is to let Captain Li go."

"Who do you listen to when it comes to the use of soldiers?"

"The entourage of the second prince of Nanzhao, he said that His Majesty did not agree to let Nanzhao be fully responsible for quelling the rebellion, and asked me to make a statement to His Majesty, how dare I!"

Several officials gathered together and whispered.

"What are you talking about?"

Li Linfu walked out with a serious face.

"Right Phase."

Li Linfu usually has a smiling face, but at this time, his face is stiff, which really makes these ministers frightened, and they all bow their heads and remain silent.

"Let's all go back! Let Your Majesty see what kind of system it has become. ”

Li Linfu waved his hand and asked the officials to return to their respective posts.

"Enxiang, I saw it clearly just now, General Li walked over with a smile on his face, it seems that His Majesty did not blame him, so our twists and turns?"

An official stayed behind and cautiously asked Li Linfu for instructions.

Obviously, after learning that Ang Lee had set fire to the backyard, Li Linfu hinted to several confidants and officials to impeach Ang Lee in order to crack down on this person who was valued by the emperor and did not go all the way with him.

However, since Emperor Li Longji did not blame Li An, then, if he went to impeach, it seemed that it would not have any effect, Li Linfu knew Li Longji very well, as long as Li Longji did not pursue one thing, no matter what the minister said, it would not have much effect, but would cause Li Longji's disgust.

"Forget it, throw it all away!"

"Yes, Eun-sang."

Li Linfu touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and realized that Li Longji was going to let Li An lead the troops to quell the rebellion, after all, Zhang Qiu and Qiong's twists and turns, he had seen it, in the twists and turns, Zhang Qiu and Qiong strongly recommended Li An to be responsible for quelling the rebellion, and at this time, Li An committed a taboo and could swagger out of the palace, doesn't this prove that Li Longji has adopted Zhang Qiu and Qiong's suggestion and let Li An lead the army to quell the rebellion?

'Ang Lee, you can really do it, you have made meritorious contributions again and again, and you have made mistakes again and again, but Your Majesty only sees your merits, but does not care about the mistakes you have made. ’

Li Linfu was suddenly jealous of Li An in his heart, although Li Longji also valued him, he was extremely cautious, but he had never made such an obvious mistake as Li An.

"Right Prime Minister, Your Majesty has just sent a decree, asking the Ministry of War to immediately prepare the equipment and money and food of three thousand soldiers, which will be completed within five days, and Your Majesty has issued an order to crown Li An, the general of the Right Dragon Wu Army, as the general of Pingnan, and lead the army to quell the rebellion in Pingding five days later."

A small official hurried to report.

Li Linfu's body trembled slightly, paused for a moment, and said, "I know, you immediately go to inform the military department and urge them to prepare as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, right."

'A little doll in a mountain village, it's only been a few days, and he actually became the general of the Right Dragon Wujun, and he also added the title of General Pingnan, and he was promoted so quickly, Datang is afraid that there are few left. ’

After fully learning the truth, Li Linfu's heart still fluctuated a lot, a little sour.

Jealousy and jealousy is Li Linfu's consistent style, and the reason why he is like this is because of the huge insecurity in his heart, as the saying goes, the higher the position, the more painful it will be once he falls, Li Linfu, as the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, has been a very popular minister, and his status can no longer be improved, and keeping the current position is what Li Linfu urgently needs to do, and Li An's momentum will obviously seriously threaten his status, how can he not be nervous.

After Li An left the palace, he immediately summoned his brothers and told them that they would go to the land to quell the rebellion in five days, and asked them to notify the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, so that the soldiers could deal with the affairs of their families as soon as possible, and assemble outside the city gate after five days.

And the reason why Li An proposed to recruit 3,000 troops and only bring 600 soldiers to the land was because of the battle of Zimu Dao, the weakness of the Longwu army's weak combat strength was revealed, at that time, if it were not for the absolute superiority of the Tang army, the Tubo lord would be killed by himself, and the consequences were really unpredictable, and with such soldiers to quell the rebellion, Li An's heart was very bottomless.

Recruitment is different, this can be selected personally, as long as qualified soldiers are selected and rigorously trained, it is completely possible to train a strong army that will make the enemy fearful.

Moreover, the source of soldiers that Li An wants to recruit is the people of the Tang Dynasty near the planing land, and these nearby people are more accustomed to the hot and humid environment of the planing land, as long as they are well trained, their combat power will far surpass the Longwu army in the capital, and become the absolute main force to quell the rebellion in the planing land.

"It's okay, recruits need to be selected and trained, and if we don't have half a year, I'm afraid it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness, so will we have time to counterinsurgency?"

Li Fei Shouyu frowned, a little skeptical about Ang Lee's decision.

"Yes! Big brother, recruits are not easy to train, why don't we have a ready-made army? ”

"Big brother, the combat power of the Longwu Army is not high, we can choose the border army of Jiannan Dao, why do we have to choose and train our own troops?"

Obviously, everyone felt that Li An's consideration was a little unreasonable, after all, the counterinsurgency was just around the corner, and at this time, instead of ready-made soldiers and horses, but to select and train soldiers and horses by themselves, isn't it crazy?

Li An smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth and looked at the brothers: "Quelling the rebellion is indeed imminent, but isn't the king of Yunnan in a hurry to quell the rebellion?" We can hand over the preliminary task of counterinsurgency to him, and we will wait and see what happens, and when the time is ripe, we will immediately take action to snatch the fruits of victory, and the training of troops is just a reason to delay the entry of troops, in order to show the king of Yunnan that I, Li An, know that my troops are weak, and I dare not lead the troops into the planing area, so that he can rest assured! ”

"How is the eldest brother going to snatch the fruits of victory? If the Nanzhao army suddenly sent troops to occupy the land with lightning speed, then we would not lose the opportunity. ”

"Fine, this is indeed too risky, because we don't know the plan of the king of Yunnan, if the king of Yunnan is really desperate, with the army of the whole country of Nanzhao to attack the plan, it is very likely to occupy the planing land within a few months, and we will never be able to train an elite army in a few months, in this way, the planing land will be all owned by Nanzhao."

Objections were still raised.

Li An really wanted to tell everyone that he already knew the direction of history well, and it was impossible for Pi Luoge to quell the rebellion in a short period of time, let alone transfer the troops of the whole country of Nanzhao to the land in a desperate way, but he couldn't say this, which would scare the brothers.

"You don't have to worry, I have already calculated everything, besides, the holy decree has come down, we just do it, you must prepare as soon as possible, and in five days, we will leave on time."

"Yes, understood."

"Kunxiong, Feiyu, follow me to the Honglu Guild Hall, I want to see Yu Chengjie."

"Eldest brother, the task of the second prince of Nanzhao on this trip is to obtain the leading power of counterinsurgency for the king of Yunnan, but now His Majesty has handed over the leading power of counterinsurgency to the eldest brother, the second prince of Nanzhao is estimated to be angry at this time, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate for you to go."

Li An smiled faintly: "What's inappropriate, the eldest brother knows that Yu Chengjie is unhappy, and the people who have traveled with him all the way can be regarded as a little emotional, the eldest brother will persuade him, maybe he will not be depressed." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the war horse, and Kunxiong Feiyu followed.

In the Honglu Guild Hall, Yu Chengjie sat in the room with a sad face and sighed, after making great efforts, he still failed to win the dominance of Nanzhao to quell the rebellion.

This also means that he failed to complete the task assigned by his father Pi Luoge, so he is one step away from the position of prince he dreams of, and even, there is no chance to compete with Ge Luofeng for the position of prince.

"Didn't you say there's still a chance? Didn't you say you were going to give it your all? But now that the Tang Emperor has issued an order, Xiao Wang still failed to complete the task assigned by his father after all, after going back, how should Xiao Wang explain to his father, and how should Xiao Wang explain? ”

Yu Chengjie's tone was a little flustered.

All the henchmen and followers lowered their heads, not daring to interject, they have actually tried their best, but sometimes, not you will be able to succeed if you try your best, the road to success is full of too many uncertain factors, there is a saying that planning things in people, success in heaven, sometimes God's will is like this, and there is no way.

"Get out, get out of here."

Yu Chengjie's immature side was shown again.

The three henchmen slowly exited the room with a lonely expression, and closed the door gently.

Li ...... General Lee, why are you here? ”

As soon as the three entourages were kicked out of the room, they saw Li An walking with their heads held high, and said hello in surprise.

Obviously, the three of them felt that Li An accepted the emperor's will and was responsible for quelling the rebellion in the land, and at this moment, they should concentrate all their energy on preparation, how could they be idle and come to the Honglu Guild Hall?

Li An could see from the lonely expressions of the three of them that they had just been reprimanded by Yu Chengjie, and they were in an extremely low mood at the moment.

"Ben will set out in five days, and I came here today to meet the second prince."

Li An is neither humble nor arrogant, and has no intention of laughing at Yu Chengjie.

"Crunch ......"

The door slowly opened from the inside, Yu Chengjie walked out with a dissatisfied face, and glared straight at Li An, and said in a strange manner: "Is General Li here to see Xiao Wang's jokes?" ”

Li An smiled faintly and took a step forward: "Second prince, how dare Li An." ”

Yu Chengjie is in a very bad mood now, and he doesn't like to see others smiling the most, but when he saw Li An smiling at the corner of his mouth, he was in an even worse mood, turned his head slightly, looked into the distance, and put on a puffing posture.

"It's a big injury, the second prince has to take care of his body."

Li An saw that Yu Chengjie looked childish, and opened his mouth to persuade him.

Yu Chengjie looked back at Li An, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "General Li is deeply favored by the Tang Emperor, it is the time when the spring breeze is proud, of course the mood is excellent, Xiao Wang congratulates General Li." ”

Li An grinned: "The second prince is angry with me Li An!" In fact, the second prince is considered everywhere, and the second prince doesn't have to be like this, we are friends. ”

Yu Chengjie frowned: "Since Captain Li and Xiao Wang are friends, why don't you play the Tang Emperor, shirk the responsibility of quelling the rebellion, and give us the responsibility of quelling the rebellion, how about it?" ”

The decree of the Tang Emperor has been issued, how can it be changed overnight, Yu Chengjie's request is obviously unreasonable, however, Li An is not angry, these have long been expected by him.

"The second prince, the humble post has just come back from the Dongnu Kingdom, and he is tired, and he really doesn't want to go to the land to suffer, but His Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and the humble post can only be reluctantly embarrassed, leading hundreds of soldiers and horses, and going to the land to go around, however, the soldiers and horses under the command of the lowly post are really not the opponents of the wealthy clan, and the rebellion of the land is pacified, and it depends on the king of Yunnan."

"Dependent on my father?"

Yu Chengjie looked confused. (To be continued.) )
