Chapter 253: The Emperor's Father's Chess
Li Chengye shook his head quietly after hearing this, and then was silent for a long time, and slowly said, "You and I...... Don't speculate on the will of God! ”
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhen did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and said persistently: "Among the many princes of Your Majesty, the second prince Li Wen must not be guarded against......
"Taiwanese!" Before Zheng Cheng finished speaking, Li Chengye's face suddenly sank, and he said: "Don't forget your and my identities, as a minister, how can you talk about the prince in vain!" ”
Zheng Zheng was silent immediately after hearing this, only to see Li Chengye then said slowly: "At least it's not the time yet!" Don't talk about it in the future! ”
......
The calm of the border in the past few days has relaxed the heart of Yelan Khan, who has been tense at all times, Yelan doesn't want to know where the mysterious Tang army has gone, all he wants is a stable day where he can drink and have fun, if it weren't for Yelu Sara's aggressiveness, Yelan didn't want to agree to the alliance of the four clans at all, let alone go all the way to the land of the Tang Dynasty to plunder the benefits that he couldn't get.

In the face of this treacherous act of Muru, the leaders of the three tribes of Tulu Bu, Wukui and Tuju have gathered 30,000 cavalry to attack Murowei's army, but only because Jeruzara took the lead in speaking out against it, he did not raise troops to the north.
As the most powerful tribe among the Khitan tribes, Jeruzara's words and deeds have a decisive impact on Yelan Khan, and even Jeruzara has a faint intention to replace him, and the Khitan tribes are not as united as they seem on the surface, at least in their attitude towards Jeruzara.
The three tribes of Tulubu, Wukui, and Tuju are eager for Yelu Zara, and Pin, Ut, Nirvana, including the B Chamber Department that was destroyed by Li Zhen before, are loyal to Yelan Khan, and it is precisely because of this that Yelan Khan hates the mysterious Tang army, but it seems that this hatred did not stay in Yelan Khan's heart for a long time, especially after the arrival of this hard-won peace, Yelan Khan can no longer raise the interest of revenge for the B Chamber Ministry.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the delicate relationship between Yelan Khan and Yelu Zarat that the Khitan is a little powerless for both the Tang Dynasty and the Murwei, and it is far from the time for Yelu Zara to tear his face with Yelan Khan and replace him.
Although the Xi people are under the unification of King Xi, their main force has long been contained in the Tang Dynasty, and now they have no ability to launch a large army to search for the disappeared Tang cavalry, and they must always guard against the northern Huangjia and the Khitans who have always been ambitious and actively committed to rebellion, for the latter, the influence of the Tang cavalry is really insignificant.
Because of this, Li Zhen was able to spend a full five days in this dense forest, although there was no harassment from the Khitan and Xi people, but five days was enough to make Li Zhen's already stretched grain and grass even more worrisome.
"Zeyuan......" Xu Liang frowned, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Li Zhen sighed lightly and asked, "How many days is enough?" ”
"How many days?" Xu Liang sighed: "I'm afraid I'm going to run out of food tomorrow!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all full of sadness, and it was a road to fight for their lives by going deep alone, but now that they have cut off food and grass, it is difficult to maintain even if the soldiers are strong and brave.
"Alas, at the moment, Youzhou and Huangjiasi have not moved, if we wait any longer, I am afraid that we will be trapped here before we meet the enemy!" Yan Heng glanced at Li Zhen and couldn't help but sigh.
Gao Yu thought about it and asked worriedly: "Could it be a ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhen shook his head and said, "No, if Pei Luo is not stupid, he will never give up this opportunity to get rid of the remnants of the Uighurs in one fell swoop!" ”
"What if he's stupid?" Yan Heng then asked.
Li Zhen laughed when he heard this: "Do you think he is stupid to break the Uighur Khanate apart in just a few years?" ”
"I want to ......" Li Zhen changed his words, thought for a while and said: "I think it should be some trouble on the side of Zhang Yuanjun in Youzhou!" For example......"
"Like what?" Gao Yu asked.
"For example, there are not enough troops!" Li Zhen said.
"How is this possible, the total strength of the three towns of Heshuo alone is nearly 200,000, although the three towns have their own troops, but as long as Your Majesty gives an edict, even if Chengde and Wei Bojun don't want to move, they will never disobey the order at this time!" Gao Yu immediately shook his head and said.
Li Zhen smiled and said softly, "What if Your Majesty doesn't want to give this edict at all?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Your Majesty...... Don't want to? Xu Liang looked puzzled, he didn't know what Li Zhen meant, and Yan Heng looked at Li Zhen in surprise, unable to say half a word.
"It seems that this time we can only rely on the power of Zhang Envoy Jun Lu Long!" Li Zhen muttered to himself.
"Zeyuan, don't worry, what you just said...... What does that mean? Don't Your Majesty want a great victory in Youzhou? Or does His Majesty not trust Zhang Yuanjun? Gao Yu hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, Li Zhen looked at Gao Yu, and then looked around at everyone before replying: "Your Majesty naturally hopes to expel the four barbarians from the Tang border as soon as possible, and it is precisely because of your complete trust in Zhang Yuanjun that this will be the case!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more at a loss, only to see Li Zhen smile slightly, and said: "Whoever breaks into the disaster should be made up for by whom, with the power of one town to resist the four yi, and the victory will shock the world!" ”
"What if we lose?" Yan Heng asked.
"Defeat?" Li Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "No, you can't fail!" ”
Li Zhen didn't say any more, because he felt that he, the emperor's father, seemed to be playing a game of chess, and in this game of chess, he was one of the chess pieces.
If this battle is won, Zhang Zhongwu will be added to the ranks, but Lu Longjun's strength will be greatly damaged, which will inevitably make the strength of the three towns of Heshuo more balanced; If defeated, the emperor's father could also take this opportunity to suppress Zhang Zhongwu, and Lu Longjun at that time was powerless to resist.
Therefore, no matter whether the battle is won or lost, Zhang Zhongwu loses, and the winner is always his emperor's father.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen couldn't help but faintly feel a chill in his heart, his emperor father put himself in danger in order to weaken Zhang Zhongwu, although Li Zhen knew that his father's decision was extremely clever, but this was really difficult for him to accept the most family affection.
Perhaps this is the reason why Li Zhen prefers Li Chengye, Li Chengye loves power, but there is always an insurmountable bottom line in his heart, just like the tiger is fierce but does not eat its own children;
And Li Chen is different, in his eyes there is only the world, he is a wise king, but he will never be a good father, because in his opinion, anyone in the world can take a fight.
