Chapter 724: Expedition

Su Tai's words, surprisingly, Su Zhe did not refute it, but looked around with a cautious look.

This scene made Su Tai smile, shook his head and said, "Second brother, don't worry, although the fourth brother doesn't have the ability to control the entire imperial city, at least the ground under our feet, within a radius of a hundred steps, is still up to me." ”

"Second brother don't have to be so nervous, fourth brother, I won't put our life and death to death, sometimes I feel very distressed about the second brother's actions, and being a younger brother."

"The second brother has been pretending to be a lifetime, and he is bound to be a generation of virtuous kings, but it's a pity, after all, he still bows to reality and cooperates with his younger brother, so it's actually right, everyone wants to sit in that position, but there is only one position, and the two of us are fighting for a big fight, but in that position, there are still people who sit still, and don't pull the one off the horse, how strong is our fight! And not in vain. ”

Su Zhe's face was solemn, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words reached his throat, and finally he swallowed it raw.

Su Tai retracted his gaze, looked useless, and walked from Su Zhe's left to the right with steps, and then said unhurriedly.

"Second brother, it doesn't matter if you want to be a virtuous king, my younger brother also supports it, but sometimes, even if you are the second brother, you have to admit that sometimes you try your best to attract talents, officials, and families, it is better to borrow external forces."

"Look, brother, I, the overall strength is much worse than the second brother, especially the second brother's rebellion against the younger brother's subordinate Guogong, one Zaifu, one Zhao Guogong, with these two, I am indeed not the second brother's opponent."

"But second brother, you can't think of it, I just used a little external force to force you to the negotiating table and cooperate with me, what does this mean? It shows that Da Liang is indeed declining, and if you want to change the current predicament, you have to rely on external forces. ”

"Therefore, as a younger brother here, I want the second brother to understand that if you really want to realize your ambition of governing the country, the premise is that you must have the strength to absolutely control Da Liang, otherwise, in terms of how virtuous and in the face of absolute power, it is just nonsense."

After Su Tai finished throwing away this sentence, he didn't even look at Su Zhe, and then turned around and left, but just a few steps after he left, he seemed to think of something, his footsteps stopped, and he turned his head and said softly.

"If the second brother is willing, this king can arrange Zhao Guogong for you, you don't have to be as troublesome as now, and it is actually useless to put it around."

"By the way, give the second brother a reminder, instead of focusing on me, it's better to care more, our sixth brother, although Zhou Zibin didn't have anything before he died, and saved the second brother, but our sixth brother is not as simple as you think the second brother."

"In Yuezhou, I don't know if you have installed eyeliner in the second brother, and there are also younger brothers, but just a month ago, all my eyeliner in Yuezhou disappeared inexplicably."

"The second brother should be able to guess something, the fourth brother, I won't say anything, and I hope that the second brother will not make a big mistake at the critical moment, otherwise what will happen later, the fourth brother can't predict."

"Second brother, let's do it for yourself."

When the words fell, Su Tai left without looking back.

And Su Zhe, who was standing in place, didn't say a word from beginning to end the whole time, but a complicated look appeared in his flashing eyes, which was enough to explain the uneasiness in his heart at this moment.

Su Zhe still knows his fourth brother very well, no matter what kind of changes and arrangements Su Tai has, in the open and secret battle with him for so long, Su Zhe does not say that he is in his chest, but at least he is still in control.

As Su Tai said, the two princes he entrusted with important tasks, one of them, Zhao Guogong, was rebelled by him nearly a year ago.

With the addition of this prince, Su Tai was not his opponent at all in the struggle for imperial power.

This is also why Su Zhe has always maintained a calm mentality, after all, almost most of the many courtiers in Kyoto have taken refuge in him, and the balance of victory is obviously going towards him.

Unexpectedly, his good brother actually used external forces, and he had a connection very early, not only that, but Su Tai also publicly clarified his plan and wanted to pull Su Zhe into the gang.

Moreover, all the internal responses that Su Zhe had placed beside him were pointed out, without the slightest panic, but rather calm.

As if waiting for this time, Su Zhe, who had always thought that he knew Su Tai, did not have the previous calmness in his heart, and re-examined his younger brother in a complicated heart.

Su Tai underestimated him, not only underestimating his boldness, but also underestimating his ruthlessness.

Under normal circumstances, Su Zhe categorically would not cooperate with Su Tai, as Su Tai said, Su Zhe's life, even if it is a performance, is also a virtuous king.

If you really want to be in cahoots with Su Tai, it will damage his reputation, but what Su Tai said does have some truth.

The two of them are fighting openly and secretly, there is only one position, and the person who does it in the key position has always been very stable, and if he doesn't pull that one off the horse, it will be in vain to fight to the death or live.

Moreover, Su Tai also has a strong foreign aid, even if it is Su Zhe, he has no confidence to fight.

Coupled with Su Kang's side in Yuezhou, Su Zhe really had to be wary of this unknown sixth brother.

In order not to have a big accident, and in order to realize his future ambitions, Su Zhe had to choose to cooperate with Su Tai.

Even if this cooperation will make him infamous and ruin his reputation, he has to do it for the sake of the throne.

Su Zhe stood in place, sighing silently, looking into the distance, and muttering softly.

"Su Qi'an, I hope you can learn your way back and help this king, otherwise, even this king will have to consider whether to be cruel to you."

"Su Qi'an, don't blame this king, it's up to you to seize this opportunity."

At this time, Su Qi'an, who left the main hall, did not leave the imperial city, but returned to Su Fengling's bedroom.

In the dormitory, Su Fengling waited silently, and after seeing Su Fengling, Su Qi'an told what happened in the palace from beginning to end.

Su Fengling was not surprised, her face was calm, as if all this had been expected by her.

Especially when she heard Su Qi'an take the initiative to go to the northwest to supervise the army, Su Fengling did not blame at all, but said softly.

"Well, since the husband has made a decision, he will support all of them for his wife."

Su Qi'an hugged Su Fengling in his arms and sighed that he had married such a reasonable wife.

Regarding his initiative to serve as an overseer, it was not Su Qi'an's impulse, but careful consideration.

After leaving the main hall, I didn't figure it out before, but now I have figured it out.

This time Su Qi'an returned to Beijing, and the courtiers in Beijing did not target him at all, on the contrary, they actively defended and even praised him every time.

In doing so, Su Qi'an's status was raised high, and it was also to let him run around and fight everywhere.

It is equivalent to the chess piece in their hands in disguise, although this chess piece is not obedient, but at least he is out of the horse, and the border of the Daliang Quartet will be stabilized.

As long as the result is achieved, the process is not important, it is necessary to eat soft rather than hard.

The courtiers were so attentive that they didn't have to think about it, and they guessed that they had received instructions from the two princes.

Su Qi'an solved the external trouble of Daliang for them, so that they could rest assured of internal fighting and prepare for stepping up the seizure of power.

This kind of disguised chess piece may not be pleasant to be someone else, but for Su Qi'an, it is a benefit.

Fighting everywhere and quelling the war, his army has been tempered, and at the same time, he has expanded his team and added other troops.

For example, the just-concluded Battle of Dongzhou allowed Su Qi'an to expand and replenish his own sailor troops.

Although it is nominally owned by the Dongzhou Water Division, in fact, one-third of it is owned by itself, and at present, it may not be needed, but the formation of the Water Division will always be useful one day in the future.

Su Qi'an took the initiative to supervise the army, and he also had a careful thought, that is, he wanted to enhance the strength of his cavalry troops.

In the two prefectures of Gansu and Mongolia, the main troops are cavalry, and the best military horses in Daliang are in the northwest.

On this expedition, Su Qi'an planned to transfer the cavalry division that remained in Jiaozhou, which could be regarded as seeing the world.

In addition to this, Su Qi'an also wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at the third princess who had been married to her relatives for ten years, Su Fengwu.

This is also entrusted by Su Fengling, Princess Da Liang has been married for ten years, in exchange for ten years of border stability, just this is enough for Su Qi'an to see him.

Now that the border is turbulent and Yuezhao is controlled, it is estimated that the current situation of the third princess should not be good.

Otherwise, it will really make the countries of the Western Regions laugh at the fact that there are no men.

After Su Qi'an returned to the dormitory, he got along with Su Fengling for three days, a happy time, getting along is always short-lived, and after three days of keeping with Su Fengling, the two armies of Dongshan and Split Mountain stationed on the outskirts of Beijing have been completed, just waiting for Su Qi'an to appear.

On this expedition, not only the officials of the DPRK and China came to see him off, but even the people of Kyoto took to the streets and stood on both sides.

The northwest border was turbulent, and there was no need to hide the news, and as more and more border traders came to Kyoto, it was gradually made public.

Everyone knew that there was turmoil on the northwest border, and the imperial court quickly made a move, appointing Su Qi'an, the marquis of the hundred, to go out to support again.

This news came out, which can be regarded as a reassurance to the hearts of many people.

In their opinion, with a hundred marquis, this war should be able to be quelled soon.

Su Qi'an sat on his war horse, followed by Xie Cang, Su Yong, Tong Zhan and other generals, and walked towards the outside of Kyoto.

On the outskirts of the city, Dongshan and Split Mountain, which are on standby, have been prepared, and the order sent to Jiaozhou has also been transmitted, and 20,000 Jiaozhou soldiers are already on the way, and it is expected that they will meet Su Qi'an on the road in a few days.

On both sides of the street, along the way, as Su Qi'an and others walked by, the earth-shattering sound of farewell resounded, and Su Qi'an rode his war horse without stopping, galloping all the way.

Soon left the imperial city, came to the front of the assembled army, reined in the horse rope and turned around, looking at the city tower, one by one familiar figures, he didn't say anything, waved his hand, and signaled goodbye.

Then, at the sound of the long marching horn, the assembled army quickly marched, and the ground shook, raising dust in the sky.

Under the gaze of Su Fengling, Su Zhe, Su Tai, and other courtiers, the figures of Su Qi'an and Xie Cang disappeared and gradually disappeared.
