Chapter 178 - High-profile version of Xun Yu
Li Keyong has been spending the past few days, and Zhu Wen suddenly joined forces with the Khitans, which really caught him off guard.
Fortunately, news came from Chang'an that Zhao Fan had promised to send troops to attack Zhu Wen together, otherwise he might not be able to withstand Li Keyong.
In half a month, Li Keyong has invested nearly 200,000 troops in the border area, but the situation has not improved at all.
The huge gap in strength is not something that the training of the soldiers can make up, and although Li Ke's army is strong, the elite soldiers of Houliang and Khitan are not vegetarians.
"Generals, now that the enemy's army is pressing the border, do you have any good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Li Keyong sat in the Taishou Mansion in Jizhou, looked at the talented Wenchen generals in the house, and said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, Li Keyong's henchmen looked at me, I looked at you, and lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at Li Keyong on the main seat.
"Well, you don't have to behave like that. I've used Li Keyong all the way to today, what winds and waves haven't I seen? Back then, the Huangchao rebels were menacing, but they were still more than now, didn't they come over? Li Keyong looked at his subordinates who were in a bad mood and shook his head slightly.
"I have sent someone to Chang'an to ask Your Majesty to send troops to support, and Your Majesty has agreed, now the reinforcements are already on the way, let's insist on it, Zhu Wen, the dog thief, will not be able to jump for a few days."
"Father, no!"
Before Li Ke's voice fell, Li Cunxiao immediately jumped out and objected fiercely, "Father, have you forgotten that we kindly went to King Qin's rescue that day, but we were severely cheated by this little emperor, and tens of thousands of brothers died in Luoyang City." ”
"Now if you ask him for help at this time, wouldn't that lead the wolf into the house? But even if we repel the Khitans and Zhu Wen, what will we do to confront the Heavenly Mandate Army? Father, you must know that it is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God! ”
As soon as Li Cunxiao finished speaking, the generals below immediately agreed, in the eyes of these people, in Luoyang City, it was indeed Zhao Fan who was a little unkind.
As for those civil officials, they continued to keep their heads down and did not express their opinions at all, after all, this topic is relatively sensitive, and they dare not say anything.
"General Li's words are wrong, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, you are now in difficulty, shouldn't you ask Your Majesty for help?" Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, a middle-aged man in Wenchen stood up and argued softly.
"As for the matter of Luoyang, as the so-called king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, not to mention the matter of Luoyang City, who is right and wrong, don't you have any points in your own hearts?"
The man had a feminine complexion, a white beard, a short and thin stature, and spoke with a bit of a girlish voice, but his eyes were unusually bright.
"Zhang Chengye, what do you mean by that?" When Li Cunxiao saw that someone had contradicted him, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and angry, and immediately glared at him viciously.
"Is there something wrong with what the official said? Lord Li, Your Majesty sent you to rescue Your Majesty's blood and bones to ensure that the blood of the Tang Dynasty continues, but you? It's good for you to tell everyone with a big grin, your goal is only to pass on the jade seal of the country, and you can't control the rest, is this General Li's way of being a minister? Zhang Chengye sneered and said with some disdain.
"You!" Li Cunxiao was stunned by Zhang Chengye, and was a little speechless, after all, this matter was indeed not done by himself at the beginning, and Li Keyong had already taught him a lesson after coming back, and he was quite helpless to be taken out by Zhang Chengye at this time.
"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, Your Majesty's reinforcements are already on the way, can't you rush back again, or do you want to rebel?" Li Ke stood up with some tiredness and swept the crowd.
"And if you don't ask Your Majesty for help, do you have any good way to retreat from the enemy? If not, then there is no need to talk about the objections. ”
After Li Keyong finished speaking, he walked out of the hall with a gloomy expression and went outside to breathe in the fresh air. And everyone in the room looked at each other, looking at Li Keyong's back at a loss, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but they didn't know where to start.
Zhang Chengye lowered his head thoughtfully, not knowing what to think in his heart.
Of course, if Zhao Fan sees Zhang Chengye here, he will probably jump up excitedly, don't ask why, you must know that this is Zhang Chengye! Zhang Chengye, known as the high-end version of Xun Yu!
In history, Li Cunmiao, it was precisely because of Zhang Chengye's help that the Jin Kingdom developed rapidly, laying a solid foundation for the future hegemony.
On the other hand, this Zhang Chengye's loyalty to Datang is definitely no less than anyone's, although he is a eunuch, but in terms of character and ability, it is impeccable!
Zhao Fan was also bored in his previous life, when he saw the name Zhang Chengye in the post bar, and he went to check the information out of curiosity, and then realized the value of this Zhang Chengye.
Zhang Chengye in history, also because of the opposition to Li Cunmiao called the emperor, after no result, he ended up depressed, and Zhang Chengye's death also laid the foundation for the destruction of the Later Tang Dynasty established by Li Cunqing, without Zhang Chengye's assistance, the Later Tang Dynasty soon became a mess, the soldiers complained for days, the people were miserable, and finally a mutiny, Li Cunmiao was killed by random arrows, and the Later Tang Dynasty also perished.
It can also be seen from here that Zhang Chengye's ability and value, although Zhao Fan now has Zhang Ji and Du Rangneng and others to help, but for such a talent, Zhao Fan will definitely not be too much, after all, he has more things to do in the future.
The current Tang Dynasty is like a secret room filled with gunpowder, as long as there is a little spark, it will explode with a bang, although there does not seem to be much danger in the short term, but Zhao Fan's current situation is still not optimistic, those feudal towns that have been called emperors can do anything.
For example, this time Zhu Wen and the Khitan people joined forces, far more than Zhao Fan expected, he never thought that Zhu Wen, as a Tang Dynasty feudal town, would join forces with foreign races to invade his own land, could he Zhu Wen be crazy?
You must know that this kind of thing is definitely very rare in history, and collusion with other races is such a thing. One was exposed, and it was 100% criticized by the whole world!
But that's what he Zhu Wen did, without any hesitation, since Zhu Wen can unite with the Khitan today, will Li Maozhen unite with Tibet tomorrow?
This Zhao Fan really can't guarantee it...
