Chapter 10: Co-Honoring the Alliance
"In terms of seniority, my grandfather is the most suitable for this alliance leader!"
Huang Guogong Li Shu said.
Li Yuanjia was secretly happy in his heart, but he still had to hold back a smile, and pretended to reprimand Li Zhuo with a straight face: "Nonsense! This is a big matter to discuss, how can you come here, and besides, how can I take on this heavy responsibility!"
"What my uncle said is reasonable, my grandfather is both civil and military, has resisted the Turkic invasion, when the first emperor was alive, he once ordered my grandfather to enter Beijing to discuss politics, and the position of the leader of the alliance was not allowed to my grandfather, how can he serve the public!"
Li Xu, the king of Jiangdu, got up and said.
Li Yuanjia was not given a chance to perform at all, Li Yuanjia frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Li Xu, his nephew.
Li Shu was even more annoyed and angry, pointing at Li Xu's nose and scolding, Li Xu was not used to him, and the two scolded each other.
"Enough! What are you talking like this, the enemy has not been destroyed, but their own families are pinching each other! The two brothers don't care about your son!"
Princess Changle couldn't stand it, so she took the case and angrily scolded the two.
Li Yuanjia and Li Yuanliang said goodbye, they didn't care about this matter, anyway, the position of alliance leader would definitely fall to their brothers in the end.
"You elders don't have to fight with each other, it hurts the harmony of your own family, since the two uncles are not suitable to be the leader of this alliance, then I will be the one!"
Li Jing said with a smile.
"What? Are you going to be? Li Jing, you junior, where is your share here? ”
Li Shu scolded in surprise.
"That's right! The elder here who is not your great-grandparents, grandparents, or fathers, where is it your turn to intervene? ”
Li Xu scolded.
Li Jing sneered, what qualifications did he have to interject? Yes, it is true that all of them are his Li Jing's elders, but this rebellion was led by him Li Jing.
Without him Li Jing taking the lead, these people could sit here and talk to him about what elders, I am afraid that they would have been killed a long time ago.
If you really want to talk about seniority, his grandfather is Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and he is not more qualified than these side lines.
"The first emperor is my grandfather, and the heir emperor is my uncle, I don't know if this is qualified?"
Li Jing asked.
Everyone was speechless, legally speaking, Li Jing is the grandson of Gaozong, and Li Xian's nephew, no matter from that point of view, he is more qualified than them.
"The two of us are willing to support Jing'er as the leader of the alliance!"
Princess Changle strongly supported Li Jing, and Zhao Gui nodded in agreement, his wife's decision was his own decision.
Princess Changle knows that only Li Jing has the strength among these people to be able to enter the Eastern Capital, and only Li Jing can help her avenge, Li Jing has relatives who died in the hands of Wu Cao like her, in order to avenge her daughter, she also has to support Li Jing unconditionally!
"I also support Li Jing!"
Li Zhen knew that this alliance leader would not fall on his head no matter what, and since the alliance leader had nothing to do with him, he would support Li Jing, who was the strongest.
"I also support Li Jing!"
Li Rong, the prince of Guguan County, and Li Zhen have the same idea.
"I also support Li Jing!"
"My grandfather supports it, and so do I!"
Li Lingkui, Li Ai and his son also publicly supported Li Jing.
Li Yuanliang father and son, Li Yuanjia father and son were pale, but the situation forced everyone to support Li Jing, and it was useless for them to oppose it, so they had to bow their heads and acquiesce to Li Jing becoming the leader of the alliance.
After the feast, each of them went back to the tent and waited for the day to be raised to seek a great cause.
The next morning, the sky was cloudy, the wind was blowing, and a moment later it was raining heavily!
Li Jing glanced at the heavy rain outside, this heavy rain was not the right time, muskets and artillery were afraid of rain, in such an environment, it was equivalent to a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.
Everyone gathered in Li Jing's big tent of the Chinese army, and everyone sat on both sides according to their generations, Princess Changle said: "Since the alliance leader has been decided, I hope everyone can work together, obey the orders of the alliance leader, support the community together, and not care about the strength or weakness."
"Elders, since our goals are the same, then we should be of one heart and one mind, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, mistakes must be punished, the court has the law, and the army has discipline, and I hope everyone can abide by it, and do not do anything that violates the law and discipline."
Li Jing arched his hand and asked people to distribute the military discipline he had prepared to everyone.
Everyone took the military discipline, flipped through the contents, and claimed that they would abide by it.
"How does the alliance leader plan to attack the Eastern Capital?"
Li Xu closed the military discipline book in his hand and asked.
"The rain has been pouring down lately, which is not conducive to our army's fighting, and when the rain stops, it will be time for us to attack, but before then, it is better for us to move our camp to the high ground, so as not to be flooded."
Li Jing said.
Now it's raining so heavily, muskets and artillery can't be used, if you attack strongly, you will only suffer heavy losses, plus there are 200,000 forbidden troops in the Eastern Capital, with their total of only 100,000 people, it is impossible to storm and take the Eastern Capital!
Therefore, we have to wait until the rain stops, use artillery to open the gate of the eastern capital, and then kill it to have a better chance of winning!
With such heavy rain, the water level of Luoshui will definitely rise, and if their camp is still in place, once someone in the city uses a water attack, they will be flooded.
This is also the reason why Li Jing advocated moving the camp to the high ground, so that he would not have to be afraid of the other party using water attacks.
"Obey the orders of the alliance leader!"
Li Zhen replied.
"Obey the orders of the alliance leader!"
Princess Changle and his wife, Li Lingkui and his son, and Li Rong responded one after another.
The rest had no choice but to do so.
At the end of the meeting, everyone went back to pack up their things, and each sent someone to go to a higher place first, and occupy a good position first, so as not to be robbed of a good position by others.
In order to prevent the forbidden army in the city from coming out and catching them off guard when they moved to camp, Li Jing ordered the Weijun to be responsible for the vigilance and the work after the break.
At the same time, let Guo Jin lead people to a high place to maintain order first, so as not to wait for everyone to fight for position.
The defenders in the eastern capital immediately reported the retreat of the rebels outside the city.
Wu Sansi and the others felt that this was a good opportunity, and they should immediately send troops to take advantage of the withdrawal of the rebels and catch the rebels by surprise!
Wu Sansi's proposal was opposed by Heizhi Changzhi, who believed that the rebels would retreat only because of the heavy rain and fearing that they would block the Luoshui and flood the Seventh Army when the water came out, and the rebels would only move their camp to higher ground.
Moreover, the rebels retreated and retreated on a well-founded basis, and the queue was neat, and now they could not get any benefit from sending troops at all, so they should stand still and wait and see what happens.
The Empress Dowager Wu Cao, who was anxious to quell the rebellion, how could she listen to it, did not take the suggestion of Heiya Changzhi, and immediately appointed Wu Sansi as the commander and led the forbidden army out of the city to fight the rebels.
Wu Sansi took the order and led the army out of the city in the rain.
Sure enough, as Hei Ya Chang expected, Wu Sansi went out of the city to kill the enemy, not only did he not achieve victory, but he was almost captured alive by life, and ran back in disgrace.
