Li Siye went north to Pengyuan to meet with the emperor this time, and the meeting between him and the emperor in the palace tearoom generally had a hint of unhappiness.

Li Heng waited for Li Siye to retreat, and then stood in the hall and said resentfully: "I treat him so kindly, not only let him govern the entire Longyou, but also take the grain and straw requisitioned from Hanzhong at will, and now he is in command of the army, and he is unwilling to speed up the counterinsurgency to recapture Chang'an, I don't know what he thinks." ”

Li Fuguo stood aside with his hands in his hands, and said with a light snort in his nostrils: "Li Siye must regard the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Hexi, Anxi, and Beiting as his own private soldiers, and he dare not fight against a strong enemy, for fear of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, and destroying the family wealth he relied on." He has his own selfish intentions, which is to be disloyal to His Majesty. ”

Li Heng raised his head and seemed to have resentment in his chest: "I used his son to be the general of the forbidden army Longxiang Army, this is already a great trust, but why is he still selfish, was he such a person before!" ”

"Your Majesty, when circumstances change, people's hearts will change." Li Fuguo followed.

Li Mi had already stepped into the threshold from the outside, and as soon as Li Fuguo saw the strategist beside Li Heng, he took the initiative to retreat and leave, definitely not appearing in the same frame with him, and was unwilling to communicate with him in the same room.

Daoist Li has a special temperament that others do not have, and this temperament makes those who are hungry for power the most disgusted, as if his behavior is like the sun and the sun, stabbing the hearts of these people. In today's world, people who are calm and indifferent are more likely to be misunderstood.

Li Heng's face was still pale, and Li Yu walked up to him and crossed his hands and said: "When Your Majesty is in charge of the country in danger, its difficulties are tantamount to creating rivers and mountains again, and you should trust the general without sticking to one pattern." In the past, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty reused Zhou Yafu to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and he was blocked from driving in the Xiliu camp, so he had to press the reins, but he was still able to reuse Zhou Yafu and let him send troops to quell the rebellion, without urging or interfering, which is a good example. Bad examples are right in front of you, will Your Majesty forget them in a flash? Ge Shuhan led the soldiers in the pass to defend Tongguan, because most of his subordinates were newly recruited and did not practice conquest, and it was the right policy to stick to resist the enemy. It is a pity that the emperor listened to Yang Guozhong's slander and interfered in military affairs to order Ge Shuhan to go out of the customs to respond to the battle, resulting in the death of 200,000 soldiers and the fall of Chang'an. Li Siye had already fought with the thief before, and he had already tested the strength and weakness, so he would be conservative and wait for the opportunity. Your Majesty should be sensitive and not suspicious. ”

After Li Mi finished speaking, Li Heng suddenly came to his senses, held Li Mi's hand and said: "What Changyuan said is that I am too impatient in my heart, and Heiye is the only remaining meritorious veteran of the Kaiyuan Tianbao Dynasty, and Guanzhong has its own strategy for quelling the rebellion. So you will send him on my behalf. ”

……

Li Yu, the king of Guangping, rode in front, and Li Siye's jade lion was half a position behind, followed by Li Yu's hundreds of guards and Li Siye's 2,000 tooth soldiers.

They went in the direction of Fengxiang from the loess plain, and there was the sound of horses' hooves not far away, and the two looked back, but it was the white-clothed Taoist priest Li Mi riding on the horse.

It seemed that Li Biping rarely rode on it, and he carefully tugged at the reins of his horse, looking down at the ground and his eyes were a little dizzy.

Li Siye stopped his horse and waited for him, and Li Yu also crossed his hand at him from a distance very respectfully: "Sir." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Guangping is also here," Li Miyun said to Li Siye calmly, "Your Majesty asked me to see you off in person, and I also have something to say." ”

Li Siye turned over and dismounted, and the two led the horses from the undulating plateau to the edge of the cliff, and even Li Yu did not follow with him.

Li Mi looked at the undulating hills in the distance, put the dust in his hand on his shoulder, and said slowly: "There is a person who has lived in the East Palace for twenty years, and he knows that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, no prince has not experienced the edge of life and death, and the experience of his brother Li Ying is in front of him. He could only endure the dormant to avoid the cold winter, and finally came to the bitter end, but he was the one in the rebellion. ”

Li Heng is indeed hard, when the world is stable, he has no power, and now that he has the power of the king, he is facing such an endgame. Li Siye didn't answer, waiting for Li Mi to continue.

"A good dormant ninja is bound to be suspicious, and a person who has been speechless for a long time is bound to be impatient, Your Majesty's long-term living environment has created such a character. I tell you the truth, in such a situation, it is a little difficult for His Majesty to be a master of observance, and his character has a great influence on his appointment and decision-making of his subordinates. ”

Li Mi glanced at him and continued: "I know that Your Majesty is like this, but what can I do? ”

Li Siye looked into the distance and said: "I naturally don't have to think about what the emperor looks like, but what the people look like and what the people in the world look like is what I pay attention to." I led the army southwest from Hexi, firstly because of the king's order, and secondly because of the mission calling. Li Daochang knew that after this rebellion, tens of millions of people would evaporate from the world, and tens of millions of people would soon become remnants of the iron hoof. Li Siye is indeed a little selfish, but in this situation where the world is in danger and the people are dying, how can I ignore the safety of the situation? ”

He smiled and said to Li Yu: "You don't have to tell the emperor about the previous words, but please tell Your Majesty the next words, just say that Li Siye will definitely pacify Guanzhong and restore Chang'an within this year." ”

"Really?" Li Mi waved the dust and said in the wind: "There are some things you may not know, although the Emperor Taishang has become the Emperor Taishang, but the royal order issued by His Majesty and the notes for review must be copied and sent to Shuzhong to withstand the control of the Emperor Taishang. At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, he was often constrained by the people around the Emperor, and if he could recover Chang'an in advance, he would definitely be able to make these people no longer have anything to deceive. The Jianghuai Festival made the Yongwang Li Lan no longer dare to be rebellious. ”

"Really?" Li Siye never thought of this, nor did he think that the political system during the war was actually a dual system, and the old and dizzy Emperor Li Longji could still intervene in the government affairs. This is really a strange thing, all at this critical juncture, you don't shrink up and reflect on your sins for more than ten years, write a belated guilty edict, and even think about interfering with the imperial power. Is there something going on that that makes you unconvinced? It is said that Yongwang Li Luan had a rebellion, which was related to the interference behind the old emperor's back.

It is no wonder that there are no ancient scholars or historians who have compiled this period of war history into a book, because in this period of history, there are no classic strategies worthy of learning from future generations, and there is no gathering of heroes and wise men in the Three Kingdoms. On the contrary, the two sides are constantly operating, all kinds of self-backstabbing, confusing behaviors gathered, and the side that feels like winning does not need a clever strategy at all, as long as it does not make more fatal mistakes, it can win, and it is a special period that is worse than anyone else.

It is said that at the same time as the Anshi Rebellion, the al-Mansur Caliph of the Great Eclipse killed the founder of the country, Posilin, and his henchman Ziyad, and a generation of famous generals died in the hands of the monarch.

The two led the horse and turned back, this time Li Siye could somewhat understand Li Heng's eagerness, but this matter still needs to be unhurried and safe.

The two parted on the plain, and Li Siye turned over and rode slowly down the slope along the edge of the hill. This time, Li Yu, the king of Guangping, followed him.

……

Li Heng stood in the hall of the Taoist temple, bowed his head and asked Guo Ziyi, who was kneeling on the ground: "Doctor Guo, if I allocate 90,000 troops to you, can you recover Chang'an in one battle." ”

"Your Majesty." Guo Ziyi hurriedly crossed his hands and admonished: "Your Majesty, the rebels have just recently entered Chang'an, and their vigor is in full swing, An Shouzhong has 5,000 Luoluo River in his hands, and Li Guiren has more than 30,000 Youyan iron cavalry composed of Tongluo, Khitan, Turkic, Sogdian and other Hu, and it is extremely difficult to win the battle at this time, please think twice before acting." ”

Li Heng secretly thought that the caliber of these martial artists was also the same, and he was no longer suspicious in his heart.
