Chapter Eighty-Six: The King of Hui Sends Troops
After Cheng Ping'an walked away, Li Fuguo, who was beside Li Heng, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know whether to say a word or not?" ”
Hearing this, Li Heng waved his hand.
"There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Li Fuguo is Li Heng's confidant, Li Heng is still more willing to listen to what he says, and he is still the kind that can listen to him.
"Your Majesty, the Hui Kingdom has always been friendly with my Tang Dynasty, and the two countries have always had marriages, why don't Your Majesty send someone to Hui at this time and ask him to send troops to help His Majesty crusade against the traitors?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like waking up a person in a dream.
"That's right!"
"Why didn't I think of that!"
"Li Fuguo, are you willing to go to Hui as my envoy and persuade the Hui King to send troops?"
Li Heng glanced at Li Fuguo and said tentatively.
"Slaves will never die!"
When Li Fuguo heard this, he immediately knelt down and said.
What he wants is this opportunity, as long as he can do this this time, then he will be the most popular person in front of Li Heng, and his status in the court will rise step by step in the future!
"Good...... I really didn't see the wrong person, then I wish you success, I am waiting for your good news in Lingwu! ”
Li Heng patted Li Fuguo's shoulder heavily, very happy.
"Yes!"
In this way, at the same time that Cheng Ping'an sent troops south, Li Fuguo also went to Huifu alone.
Of course, Li Fuguo did not disappoint Li Heng, and he persuaded the king of Hui with his incorruptible tongue, and in the end, Hui agreed to send troops, and sent his most beloved prince Ye Kaiqin to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to Lingwu for Li Heng to dispatch.
A few days later, Lingwu City.
After learning the news that Li Fuguo persuaded the king of Hui to send troops, Li Heng was overjoyed, and on the day that Li Fuguo and others returned to Lingwu, he personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to the door to greet Li Fuguo and the prince of Hui.
On April 15 of the second year of Zhide, Li Heng set up a banquet and waited for Ye Kai.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Li Heng smiled and said to Ye Kai: "I plan to send troops to fight against the traitors, and I want to ask the prince to help me, I don't know what the prince wants?" ”
As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Ye Kai naturally didn't dare to speak up, and immediately said: "My father has already ordered when he came that he must obey His Majesty's dispatch, and Ye Kai is willing to obey His Majesty's dispatch!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, Ye Kai's position had already been stated.
Hearing this, Li Heng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately looked around at the civil and military officials, with great praise, and finally Li Heng locked his eyes on Ye Kai's body: "Okay...... The prince's trip was very hard, and after this battle, I will greatly reward the officers and men of the three armies! ”
When Ye Kai heard this, he also behaved very humbly: "Your Majesty is too polite, I have in-laws with Datang, and now my relatives are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch, it's just ......"
Ye Kai wanted to speak and stopped, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that he had something to say.
"The prince seems to have some concerns, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Li Heng saw at a glance that Ye Kai had something to say, so he said.
"Your Majesty also knows that the minister did not come alone on this trip, but came with 30,000 elite soldiers, and must not return empty-handed, as long as Your Majesty agrees, if I return to the army to help Your Majesty crusade against the traitors, recover Chang'an, and allow the soldiers of my three armies to enter the two Beijing women, cloth and satin, etc.!"
As soon as this remark came out, the words shocked everyone.
Even Li Heng couldn't sit still, this was obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob!
At this moment, the queen immediately reached out and dragged Li Heng's arm, seeing that Li Heng was about to have a seizure, the queen's hand strength also increased a little at this time, and she shook her head at Li Heng from time to time.
signaled his patience to calm down for a while.
In the end, Li Heng still restrained himself, and his joy and anger were invisible.
Seeing this, Ye Kai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that the Tang Dynasty is rich and rich, and what is it for me to send troops back to ask for this return, if Your Majesty does not agree, the minister has to take my 30,000 elite soldiers back!" ”
After that, Ye Kai pretended to leave the table.
Just as he was about to take a step, Li Heng's voice came from behind him.
"The prince stays!"
Ye Kai, the prince of Hui, was sure that Li Heng would definitely agree to his request, and looked at Li Heng playfully: "So, has Your Majesty thought it through?" ”
"What's so hard about that? I've agreed to all your requests! ”
Li Heng said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the queen's hanging heart immediately relaxed a lot, but the civil and military officials around her were a little more worried, and their hearts were slightly cold.
"Your Majesty Emperor Xie Datang!"
"Since His Majesty the Emperor is so refreshing, I will naturally not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor when I return to the man!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Kai, the prince of Hui, turned around and left, taking 30,000 elite soldiers directly to Chang'an.
Next.
Li Heng rewarded the three armies and ordered Li Hao, the king of Guangping, to be the generalissimo of the rebellion and be responsible for commanding the three armies. Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi as the deputy marshal, led the Tang army and its Hui 30,000 elite soldiers, a total of 200,000 troops to the south to rebel.
On this day, Li Heng, the empress and their civil and military officials personally sent the army out.
The autumn wind is swaying, and the flag is dashing.
Outside Lingwu City, tens of millions of heavily armored soldiers, swords like forests, pillows and waiting, from east to west, from south to north, there is no end in sight.
From time to time, a breeze blew, and occasionally a little white beard of the old man floated, brushing the immature face of the weak-crowned young man.
Li Heng was immersed in the scene, and suddenly the pride in his chest rose, downstairs in the city, thousands of soldiers resigned from the field, and the horse leather shrouded body, although he did not dare to retreat despite death, for thousands of years, there has always been such a group of enthusiastic men who are not afraid of life and death, and they are iron-clad, holding the spirit of preferring to die and save the people and water and fire.
It's really respectable!
Suddenly, there was a roar of war horses in the air, and one rode from the gate of the city at a gallop, holding the Tangzi military flag and shouting: "Raise the flag of the commander!" ”
When Li Hao heard this, he hurriedly dismounted Zong Sheng, wearing a silver battle armor, a purple cloak swaying in the wind, a golden helmet on his head, the helmet was inserted with white feathers, and he held his sword and frowned.
Li Hao stood under the handsome banner, suddenly pulled out the Tang knife at his waist and shouted: "Long live!" ”
All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted long live, and the sound was like an overwhelming sea of mountains and seas, resounding through the nine skies.
The morale was raised to the extreme, Li Hao suddenly raised his right hand, and the sound stopped abruptly.
"Soldiers, An Lushan has the grace of the saint, occupies my Jinggi, insults my people, is full of evil, everyone is punished for it, now by the grace of the saint, ordered to rebel, 200,000 people, go south to Chang'an, swear to Yuzi, auspicious from the sky, protect the Tang Dynasty, will be able to refer to Chu and Han, no longer two capitals, never quit!"
As soon as the words fell, horns gathered on all sides in response, Li Hao put himself in the sound of the horn, pressed his sword and turned around, turned around and bowed in the direction of Li Heng and said: "Erchen annihilates the rebels and will never retreat!" ”
When Li Heng heard this, he raised his hand with a smile: "The army is open!" ”
When the generals heard this, they shouted "Hurrah, hooray, hooray!"
