Han Qi finally sat down in front of Li Ze.

A moment ago, he was indeed disillusioned.

The object of his struggle, the object of his allegiance, has just given up on him. He completely lost the motivation and ideals to struggle, and he didn't feel that he still had the desire to fight, so he retired to the countryside and watched the vicissitudes of the world coldly.

But is it really willing?

Of course not reconciled.

But if he wants to continue to serve Li Ze's great cause of usurping the Tang Dynasty, is he willing?

Naturally, they are also unwilling.

So, he chose to resign and leave.

But now, Li Ze offers him another option.

Get out of this whirlpool circle, pluck yourself out, and go to another place to open up a new battlefield.

To go to the Northeast, it is a good choice.

Sooner or later, the person who took the lead in raising the anti-Tang banner will inevitably make a comeback, which is the consensus of everyone in the court. To defeat him and maintain the integrity of the Tang Dynasty on the territory, Han Qi is willing to do it.

Second, Han Qi and Zhang Zhongwu can be regarded as a feud, and the death of his benefactor Gao Biao has an inseparable relationship with Zhang Zhongwu.

Going away to the northeast and no longer participating in the battles above the court can make Han Qi feel better. In this way, even if Li Zezhen does something in the future, Han Qi can have an excuse a hundred years later.

It's just that he was a little shocked by Li Ze's ignorance of his previous suspicions.

"Why?" He looked at Li Ze and asked slowly.

Li Ze smiled slightly: "Between you and me, there may be public enmity, but there is no selfish grudge." From the bottom of my heart, I still admire Xue Ping, you, and even Qin Zhao. That's why I've tolerated you time and time again. Otherwise, ten executions would be enough for what you have done. ”

Han Qi's face changed slightly.

"The Hedong corruption case of that year, the mysterious disappearance of Zuo Xiaowei soldiers a few years ago, and even the weapon drawings archived by the Ministry of War, and the case of the loss of the drawings of the sailor ship, you won't say that it has nothing to do with you, right?" Li Ze said lightly: "The reason why I can tolerate it is because I know that Han Qi is not for your own selfish interests, from the bottom of your heart, you still hope that Datang can prosper and regain its glory, so I endured it alive." ”

Han Qi took a deep breath and involuntarily clenched his fists.

"Of course, if such a thing had happened to some people of lower rank, they would have died a long time ago. I also have to admit that whether you or Xue Ping, the influence is too great, if I really want to bring you to justice, no matter how sufficient my reasons are and how conclusive the evidence is, I will be forcibly dragged to the political dispute. In that case, I'm doing someone someone a favor. What some people can't do, I do for them. Li Ze smiled to himself, "I have to say that for you, I, Li Ze, have broken the law." ”

Han Qi was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "I'm sorry! ”

Li Ze waved his hand: "This is nonsense. It's a political choice, not mine. Now, of course, it looks like I've been rewarded. At least Xue Ping is in the Western Regions, which makes my eyes shine, originally I thought that the affairs of the Western Regions would drag on for a few years, but I didn't think that he basically pacified the Western Regions for me in just a few years, won me more time and energy, and also saved more money, food and investment for the imperial court. Now, I hope you can do that when you go to the Northeast, you can do it too. ”

Han Qi thought for a while and said, "One thing I don't understand, why does the matter in the Northeast involve the right leading guard?" ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you next." Li Zedao: "The right leading guards have been stationed in Cangzhou and have not moved, and they have been training jointly with Pan Motang's sailors. Originally, Shen Congxing had always been in charge of this matter. My original intention was to build the right leading guard into a dragon on the water, whether on the water or on land, they could become a tiger army. Their opponents are not at home, but abroad, at sea, and in the future they will go even farther away from us to raise their prestige. I even came up with a new name for them, which was the Marine Corps. ”

Han Qi's body shook slightly, and he suddenly understood: "It turns out that the target of the right leading guard this time is Goguryeo. ”

Li Ze nodded and said, "Exactly." Zhang Zhongwu was in the northeast, and one of his main forces was in Goguryeo, plundering Goguryeo's resources to feed his own army. Don't look at the cold climate in the Northeast and sparsely populated, but it's a really good place. Rich in resources, fertile land, vast territory, in the past few years, Zhang Zhongwu has been recuperating, focusing on people's livelihood, constantly capturing savages, collecting and surrendering barbarians, and letting these people become his subordinates and become his serfs, and his strength is better than that of those years. Now, he felt his wings harden again, and he wanted to blend in as our army prepared to strike the final blow at the Pseudo-Liang. Of course, there are also our Datang internal hook-ups with him, among them, there are both pseudo-Liang Zhu Youzhen and Lingnan Xiangxun. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ze laughed: "How could Zhang Zhongwu let go of such a great opportunity?" A few years ago, he was defeated by us, how could he forget this hatred? ”

"How can there be Xiang Xun?" Han Qi was very puzzled.

"What's so hard about that?" Li Ze said coldly: "Xiang Xun now also feels that he is strong and has the capital to compete in the world, but now the general trend of the world has basically become clear, and he is late to enter the game." If you want to make a difference, you naturally need chaos in the world. ”

"He's the ruler of the country, how can he think that?"

Li Ze laughed: "Guozhang? How can the ruler of the country have the freehand of the country? ”

Han Qi's eyes widened, he really didn't expect that there was such a possibility. Suddenly remembered the little emperor Li Ke, who was still full of longing in Wuwei Academy, and a sadness came to his heart.

"So this time, we are ostensibly launching a final general attack on the pseudo-beam, but in fact, we have to face enemies in several directions at the same time." Li Zedao: "Pseudo-Liang is just one of them, Zhang Zhongwu is the other, Xiang Xun, will hide to the side and secretly watch, now he is mainly focusing on Hunan and Annan and other places, and he is waiting for me to be anxious!" ”

"Li Xiang has always made arrangements!" Han Qi muttered.

"It's my habit to plan for a rainy day." Li Ze said with a smile: "So many years ago, we have already begun to prepare for Zhang Zhongwu's possible counterattack. Goguryeo was suffering from being exploited by Zhang Zhongwu and could not bear it for a long time, and our people found them at that time and made a huge plan with them. At this time, Zhang Zhongwu's former general, that is, the Khitan Yeluyuan, also found us. ”

Han Qi's eyes lit up: "That is to say, once Zhang Zhongwu invades the south and launches an attack on our merge state of Mozhou, we can also start from Goguryeo and stab him in the back." ”

"With the support of the naval division, the right leading guard will cross the sea and land at Goguryeo, and when the time comes, he will attack Zhang Zhongwu's garrison together with Goguryeo's troops, and Yelu Yuan will become our internal response." Li Ze stood up and opened the curtain hanging on the wall with a bang, revealing a large map of the entire wall inside. "After the total annihilation of the Zhang Zhongwu garrison in Goguryeo, the right leading army of the army and the allied army of Goguryeo will launch an attack on Zhang Zhongwu's lair from the rear."

Han Qi clasped his palms together and said excitedly: "In this way, can Zhang Zhongwuyan be undefeated?" ”

Li Ze smiled and sat down after returning to the big case: "This is a big battle that will not be lost to us to destroy the pseudo-Liang, so I need an experienced general to go and command it." This involves the overall coordination of the two battlefields, and if there is a mistake, although it will not be lost, it will inevitably add a lot of unnecessary losses. And I've always wanted to win the biggest at the least cost. How about the Korean Military Department, will you be interested in taking this task? ”

Han Qi looked at the map for a long time before turning around: "I want to know, how much power do I have?" Whether it's Wen Fu or Xue Chong, they all know that I don't deal with you, to what extent can they obey my orders? ”

"As long as you don't order them to come back to attack me, then your orders are valid." Li Ze said with a smile: "You are the pacification envoy of the Northeast, although it is a temporary dispatch, but you can control the overall situation. The second uncle is in Pingzhou, Mozhou and other places, and he hasn't done anything else over the years, just to collect grain and grass, where the grain, grass and ordnance are enough for you to fight for a year. ”

"Last thing, does Li Xiang want to swallow Goguryeo as well?" Han Qi asked.

Li Ze shook his head: "There is no need. Goguryeo let him always exist, a northeastern place, enough for us to clean up. That place, as long as it remains subservient to us, allows us to always garrison our troops, and retains an armed force. I can't see that little place. ”

"Then I understand." Han Qi said: "I'll go to the Northeast." ”

"In that case, let's take over the affairs of the military department with Li Anmin!" Li Ze smiled and stretched out his hand: "Han Bingbu, happy cooperation." ”

Han Qi was stunned for a long time, and then he saved Li Ze's meaning.

This may be the greatest respect for him.

He stretched out his hand and shook it heavily with Li Ze.

"If it's possible, I still don't want the Li family to be dead."

"I'm not a killer, and I don't care if they come back to life, if I don't even have that confidence, how can I fulfill my ideals?" Li Zedao.
