Chapter 262: They Shouldn't Have Died Between Glasses of Wine
During this time, Zhou Ping had been recovering from his injuries and had not paid too much attention to the situation on the battlefield, and now Li Si suddenly told him that the war was coming to an end, and he had not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Why? Is it the Tiger Clan that has withdrawn?" Zhou Ping asked puzzled.
Li Si shook his head slowly, and said with a solemn face, "On the contrary, the Tiger Clan troops in the other two battlefields are frantically attacking our battle formations as if they are crazy, and they are completely exchanging their lives with us!"
"In the past month, Marshal Lu Qingdu has led various troops to continuously suppress the troops of the Tiger Clan, and finally wiped out their large forces a few days ago, although the remaining small stragglers are not afraid of us, but in order to protect the surrounding people, Marshal Lu decided to spend more effort to clear out the remnants of the enemy. ”
After listening to Li Si's words, Zhou Ping lightly snapped his fingers and asked, "How many Terran and Tiger Clan Xuanjing Immortal cultivators are there in the battle between the two sides this time?"
"There are three of us in this main battlefield, and two of each of the other two important strategic points, a total of seven Xuan Realm immortal cultivators of the human race participating in the war, and the number of Xuan Realm immortal cultivators of the Tiger Clan on each battlefield is the same as ours, and the total number is also seven. ”
In the end, Li Si seemed to think of something, and added, "If you count the Yunhua City Lord of Cloud City, then the Xuan Realm Immortal Cultivators who participated in the battle of the Human Race are eight!"
After thinking about it in his heart, Zhou Ping's face gradually became gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "Li Si, as the second prince of the Tang Dynasty, you should know the true combat power of the Tang Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible for there are only two immortal cultivators in the Xuan Realm of the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Li Si sneered, glanced at Zhou Ping deeply, and said coldly, "I also found this problem." ”
"How many Tiger Clan Xuan Realm Immortal Cultivators there are on the three frontal battlefields, and how many Xuan Realm Immortal Cultivators of the Human Race are there, could this be a coincidence?"
"Take 10,000 steps back, but if there are two more Xuanjing Immortal Cultivators on the frontal battlefield, our soldiers will not suffer such heavy casualties! Could it be that the Tang Dynasty doesn't even have two more Xuanjing Immortal Cultivators to support the battlefield?"
Speaking of this, Li Si's eyes gradually became cold, this matter is no longer just a dispute between the court and the court in the temple, for the sake of political struggle, he even disregarded the safety of the border soldiers and the people, deliberately did not send strong people to support, and consumed the strength of the Tang army, no one else cares, doesn't the Tang Emperor who is sitting on the dragon chair also care?
To tell the truth, what Zhou Ping hates most in his life is political fighting, although the battlefield is very dangerous, but at least the knives that cut at him are clear, the politicians in the officialdom smile at you on the surface, but behind the scenes, they may not know when they will divide you into five horses!
"Zhou Ping, you should know the purpose of my entry into the battlefield this time, I don't need to hide it with you. Li Si said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Actually, I went to the battlefield in order to make more military exploits, gather more military forces, and prepare for my future seizure of the throne." But now it's getting more complicated, and I suspect ......"
"You mean that Prince Li Ze is playing tricks behind the scenes, deliberately weakening the power on the frontal battlefield, and wants to give you a problem?"
If you look at it according to normal logic, it is indeed very likely that the crown prince is behind the scenes, and he is the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty except for the emperor who has so much power.
Tang Ming Emperor Li Chunhao favored the prince, which is well known in the entire Tang Dynasty, if outsiders dare to use these small means on the battlefield, they will definitely be questioned by Li Chunhao, but if it is the prince Li Ze, then the situation is uncertain......
Unexpectedly, Li Si listened to Zhou Ping's words, but slowly shook his head, and said softly, "These methods are indeed partly aimed at me, but if he really just wants to make me a down-and-out prince, he doesn't need to make so many moths at all, there is a greater relationship of rights and interests behind this." ”
Zhou Ping raised his head slowly, and the eyes of the two briefly touched each other, and an answer appeared in unison.
"Military Department!"
"Over the years, the military department has not only made great achievements in the Western Desert, but also accumulated extremely large hearts and minds of the people and the army! Zhou Ping, do you know that although these Xuan Realm immortal cultivators who fought against the Tiger Clan were all transferred from various positions by their fathers, they all had a common characteristic!"
"These seven immortal cultivators all walked out of the military headquarters!" Li Si said categorically.
After hearing these words, a nameless fire ignited in Zhou Ping's heart, a group of soldiers shed blood and sacrificed on the front line to protect their homes and defend the country, but the politicians in the rear were thinking about how to stumble on them all the time, let them die more, and weaken a little more strength, which is simply a shame for a country!
There are soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives outside, and politicians who deceive the king and hide it, this is ......
Wait!
A figure instantly appeared in Zhou Ping's mind - Yuan Tiangang, the head of the Qintian Temple of the Tang Dynasty! How did Yuan Tiangang die Zhou Ping knows best, whose order he received and whose crime he beared, Zhou Ping has already guessed in his heart, if this military affairs are also done by him, then I am afraid this is not just a weakening and suppression!
The Tang Dynasty is about to change!
This is Zhou Ping's only thought at this time, according to this logic to continue to deduce, I am afraid that the next step will be to stir up internal contradictions in the military department and find ways to divide the forces of the military department!
"In another half a month, Marshal Lu Qingdu will be able to solve many matters on the frontier, and then we, the meritorious generals, will also return to Chang'an City to accept the reward, everything is just an appetizer now, and the real feast may have been prepared and waited for us in Chang'an City." Li Si's face was a little solemn, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
That's right, it's exciting! Now most of the forces in Chang'an City have chosen to support the crown prince Li Ze, if he wants to turn the tables and have the capital to confront Li Ze, then he must use the power of the military department! This is his only chance!
Zhou Ping naturally knew what Li Si was thinking, he didn't pierce Li Si's mind, although the two were brothers, but Zhou Ping had no intention of getting involved in these things, he just wanted to find out the cause of Zhou Ping's death with peace of mind, give Li Chunyu an explanation, and give himself an explanation.
The national warrior Wushuang on Qingliang Mountain can't be engraved for the time being, if he doesn't win Li Qixian Zhou Ping will definitely not finish carving the words, but this Qixian is too elusive, and he can only rely on chance encounters if he wants to meet this guy.
Thinking of this, he remembered the old general who had led them to train and fight in the student army, the Tang Military Department could be said to be single-handedly defeated, and everyone in the military department used to be well-known heroes on the battlefield, if they really wanted to make a law, then it was understandable to suppress them, but what if they never rebelled?
Zhou Ping didn't care about the techniques of those emperors, he only knew one truth:
Those who collect firewood for the sake of the people should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow! Those who are not afraid of life and death in the battlefield to protect their families and defend the country should not die in a glass of wine!
