Chapter 167: Refined Egoist

Li Hongji retreated, leaving only corpses everywhere and the broken and mutilated city of Chuzhou.

In the past few days, the land and water armies of the Southern Tang Dynasty have attacked frantically, and they have killed the city wall several times, but they have been stubbornly repelled by the defenders of the city.

Almost every day in a fierce battle, Li Hongji was once expected to enter Chuzhou, but he finally chose to retreat, retreating before the Zhou soldiers arrived.

He retreated very methodically, the sailor slowly protected, the infantry and cavalry alternately retreated, covering each other, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde both tried to pursue, but they hit a nail.

Ye Hua took the hussar guards and stared at the direction of the retreat of the Southern Tang soldiers from a distance.

Gripping the handle of the saber tightly in his hand, he opened it lightly again, repeating it three times, Ye Hua suddenly laughed, laughing very loudly, and the Great Zhou generals who were standing not far away even thought he was crazy.

"Champion Hou is determined to fight to the death with Li Hongji to prove who is the strongest young talent." Zhang Yongde said: "He didn't catch up and let Li Hongji retreat calmly...... I said, will the champion Hou go crazy? ”

Zhao Kuangyin rolled his eyes, he was too lazy to say, he had seen Ye Hua's shameless and lazy appearance.

The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, even if Ye Hua has ambitions, he wants to fight on the battlefield and run rampant in the world...... But his roots won't change.

If you are mad because you can't catch up with Li Hongji, then it won't be Ye Hua!

They guessed for a long time, but they couldn't figure out the reason, at this time, Ye Hua was already riding a horse, slowly walking over, with a smile on his face like a blooming flower, very bright, so that the big guy felt that in a trance, it was spring......

"Otherwise, if we divide our troops to pursue, we may not be able to destroy Li Hongji, and you don't have to be angry like this!" Zhang Yongde finally cared about Ye Hua's situation.

How do you know that Ye Hua laughed, "What are you chasing, inside and outside the city, the veterans of the division are tired, you are all beaten with iron?" Don't know tired at all? Ye Hua said unceremoniously: "Hurry back to the barracks, rest well, and sleep to nourish your body." By the way, Zhao Da also gave me a prescription, do you want to prepare a few more buckets of hot water, and wash them well! ”

"Okay!"

These people immediately agreed, especially Zhang Yongde and Fu Zhaoxin, surrounded Zhao Da and beat the old fist, the girl was not righteous, and there were good things for Ye Hua, but they didn't give it to us, it was really hateful!

They were playing and fighting, and the nerves that had been tense were relaxed, and before the water was ready, they all slept soundly, gritted their teeth and kicked their legs, and screamed non-stop.

As if they were still fighting in their dreams, they gradually fell into a deep sleep, one by one, with thousands of postures, twisted and weird, and it was difficult for them to sleep!

The entire Zhou soldiers are like this, everyone is too tired.

In addition to the ordinary soldiers, there were only three people left who did not sleep, that is, Guo Wei, Wei Renpu and Ye Hua.

The monarchs and ministers are once again together, and they have to make a final judgment on the battle situation and determine the next step.

"I overestimated Li Hongji!" Ye Hua said.

Wei Renpu grabbed his beard and said with a smile: "I also overestimated him, Champion Hou, if you take the initiative to face the battle at that time, you will be at least fifty percent sure!" ”

Ye Hua rolled his eyelids, "What about half of it?" What if you lose? ”

"Hahaha, yes, what if I lose? That's what Li Hongji thought, so he retreated! "Wei Renpu Road;" Champion Hou, although the two of you didn't fight, it was a tie, you should be happy, right? ”

Ye Hua shook his head, "Wei Xianggong, you compare Zai Xia with Li Hongji, I think it's a blasphemy!" ”

"Blasphemy?" Wei Renpu screamed, "Champion Hou, could it be that Li Hongji's identity, merits, and abilities are so different from you that they can't be compared?" ”

Ye Hua waved his hand, "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about character!" ”

Character!

Hearing Ye Hua say this, even Guo Wei laughed. You kid has a bad stomach, pits people and harms people, never soft-hearted, greedy for money and profit, and dare to talk about character?

That thing- do you have it?

After Guo Wei laughed, he suddenly showed a contemplative expression, and after a while, Boss Guo patted his thigh and nodded happily, "Ye Hua is right, Li Hongji is indeed a loss in character, and he has lost completely, and he really can't compare him with our champion Hou in the future!" ”

Even the emperor said so, Wei Renpu couldn't help but think about the reason...... He pondered for a long time before he had an epiphany, stroked his palms and said: "Oh, Your Majesty is still keen, and the old minister is ashamed of himself, ashamed of himself!" ”

Guo Wei smiled, "Mr. Wei is very knowledgeable, it's just that you underestimate the champion Hou, Ye Qing is born chivalrous, has a big pattern, and has a big heart, in time, he will be the minister of the society!" ”

Ye Hua blushed this time, from the inside out, he didn't think that he was so important!

I don't know if Boss Guo is sincere or touted, but one thing is certain, Li Hongji chose to withdraw from the army, not just because he knew the difficulties, he wanted to take a step higher!

The dignified eldest son, going up, is nothing more than the crown prince and the emperor.

The men and horses of the Great Zhou fought continuously and were exhausted. If Li Hongji is really dedicated to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he should supervise the troops to fight hard, even if they lose both, it is much better than now.

He patted his ass and left in style, Chuzhou was still in the hands of Da Zhou, 30,000 horses returned, and the reinforcements from the Central Plains came again, and the Southern Tang Dynasty had no chance of winning.

Li Hongji would not have thought of it.

Then why did he retreat?

Judging from the current situation, two of the three roads army have been completed, and one of them is his uncle Li Jingda, the king of Qi.

Li Jingda and the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui have the best relationship, according to the will of Li Yu, the ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty must be the last brother and brother, so in order, it is Li Jing, Li Jingsui, Li Jingda...... Li Hongji, who is a later generation, folds the bench, and may not be able to wait.

And now, Li Jingda is finished, take Li Jingsui again, and the position of prince will be at your fingertips.

If you want to win the position of the prince, you must have strength, and the only remaining 30,000 elite soldiers in Jiangbei are Li Hongji's capital.

Because of this, Li Hongji chose to retire from the army, judging from this choice, Li Hongji is not to mention his character compared with Ye Hua, even if he is an ordinary and responsible person, it is not as good as it!

He retreated, ignoring Huainan and the fate of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

is only for his own power, and at the juncture of the country's demise, he has no overall view at all, and regards family affection as nothing...... This is the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty!

Li Hongji grew up in the royal family and enjoyed countless praises, he was smart and studious, able to write and martial arts, good-looking, talented, humble and kind...... A royal paragon.

Any emperor would be ecstatic to have such an excellent son. But because of his grandfather's edict and the inheritance of the royal brothers, Li Hongji lost the opportunity to become the prince.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been the best in everything, no one can compare, but he can't get his own position!

Li Hongji was angry, he was deep, his joy and anger were invisible, and after being angry, Li Hongji put more effort on the art of war and martial arts.

Because he knows that relying on poetry and songs, he can't get what belongs to him!

He learned it, led the army to destroy the Fujian State, and then waved the army to attack Southern Chu, and also beat Wu Yue Tuan...... Drawing his sword and looking around, he had no opponent.

But his father was indecisive, and he didn't dare to abolish his uncle's imperial brother.

Li Hongji felt that every day was a torment, and he tried his best, but he couldn't control his father's heart.

Finally, the Great Zhou Xingbing came to attack, and after a big battle, his uncle Li Jingda lost 50,000 troops. Father, don't you understand?

Only your son can carry the Tang Dynasty, and only I am the true son of heaven who can reproduce the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

If you don't hand over the position of the prince, don't think that I will continue to fight for this Datang!

After some scrutiny, Ye Hua found that Li Hongji was a super delicate egoist!

He only has himself in his eyes, and the three words "Li Hongji" are better than the Tang Dynasty, better than his father, and better than the living people...... It's really boring to fight with a guy who is so selfish that it doesn't make sense......

"Lone is not selfish, Lone has a thousand years of hegemony, and it is not allowed to be arbitrary!"

When Ye Hua analyzed Li Hongji, Li Hongji was also asking his heart.

Is he a person who is bent on power and disregards the overall situation?

No, it's not!

Lone is definitely not!

Datang is sick, sick in the court, sick in the two uncles, sick in the north and south of the courtiers, sick in the ...... Father!

As the Son of Heaven, his father did not have the courage to solve the party dispute, and he held on to the defects and did not want to forge ahead, so he sat back and watched the opportunity pass, if Datang did not change, there would be no chance.

At present, traitors are rampant in the court, the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui, the prime minister Song Qiqiu, and the privy envoy Feng Yanji, these are all big moths!

Under the big moth, Chen Jue, Cha Wenhui, You Jianyan, etc., are all traitors and villains, and they are surrounded by their father, who listens to and believes in it, and sees the country becoming worse.

If it goes on like this, Datang will be finished!

He is the only one who can save the world!

I'm not for my own selfishness, I'm for the common people, for the Tang Dynasty!

By the way, just like Tang Taizong, didn't he also launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion, killed his brother, imprisoned his father, and seized the throne? Later generations also praised Taizong as a virtuous monarch.

Why can't I learn from Emperor Taizong?

Ascend to the throne of God and fight a prosperous era!

Father, you can rest assured, I won't imprison you, I just let you appoint me as the crown prince, hand over the prince to me, you are your son of heaven, leave everything to the children to do it for you, I can make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and prosperous, I am sure to sweep the world, father, you have to give me a chance!

Li Hongji stood in the moonlight, he didn't realize how hideous his facial features were, and how terrifying his demeanor was! He was like an adult lion roaming outside, desperate to occupy a lion pack, greed distorting Li Hongji's handsome face.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to deliver the letter.

"Your Highness, the Holy Decree has arrived!"

Li Hongji's eyes widened instantly, and his heart seemed to have been hit. Father finally figured it out, figured it out!

He hurried back to the Chinese army, resisted the urge of his heart to beat out, and unfolded the holy decree...... King Wu, the generalissimo, supervised the deployment...... Prince, what about the Prince?

I want the prince, not these messy things, father, you are so confused! You, you don't deserve to sit on the dragon chair......
