Chapter 36 Silent Credit
Guo Ziyi understood as soon as he heard Li Mi's words. Now it was Li Heng's think tank here discussing the capture of the two capitals. If Li Yan, who had just made such a great contribution, was brought back, if he accidentally made contributions to the attack on the two capitals, then the position of the prince would have changed.
"What do the Deputy Marshal think?"
Li Heng actually felt like a mirror in his heart, but he had always been on Li Mi's side.
After all, in the words of later generations, these two people were played with ass dolls when they were young. They had too many things for their son. This good brother is unique.
"King Jianning is indeed both civil and military. I'm relieved to hand it over to him in Henan. What's more, now we are attacking the two capitals, and the only thing we have to do is the troops, not the generals!"
After Guo Ziyi finished speaking, he looked at Li Mi again. He saw this guy give him a friendly smile. Obviously, that means that you are not in the wrong team!
With just a few words, Li Neng's fate was set in Henan Road in the short term. Li Yu knew that Li Mi was just to help him, to seize the position of prince, and to make his way forward smoother, so he hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything more.
Seeing Li Mi and Guo Ziyi talking in front of their father, Li Yu had no interest in joining.
He didn't know what the position of crown prince meant to him. He only knew that this might be the fate of the princes of the Tang Dynasty. Now, he couldn't escape it.
While Li Yu was scattering, Guo Ziyi and others had cleverly changed the topic from Li Yan to another thing.
"Your Majesty, I have had several letter exchanges with the Uighurs Huairen Khan. Although our army is good at fighting, it still lacks a cavalry that can attack the enemy with the power of thunder. This team, the Uighurs can give us! If we can have their help, plus the elite of our Shuofang Army, we can take Chang'an and Luoyang back from the rebels within this year!"
"The Uighurs...after all, they are also Hu people!"
Li Heng was still a little hesitant when he heard this. After all, An Lushan had gathered a lot of Hu people when he attacked them. If they did this now, at least it would be a little ugly to see the food on the surface.
"Your Majesty, now the Tang Dynasty is in danger, and some things are difficult to achieve both sides! However, once the rebels are completely defeated, whether it is the Uighurs or the tribes in the Western Regions, they still have to surrender to our Tang Dynasty."
Guo Ziyi did not avoid any concerns about having some friendship with the Uighur Khan. In his opinion, there was nothing to avoid, it was all for the Tang Dynasty.
"What do you think sir?"
Whenever it was time to make a decision, Li Heng thought of Li Mi the first thing he thought of. If Li Mi agreed to this matter, he would basically have nothing to worry about.
Li Mi looked at Guo Ziyi. There was no expression on Guo Ziyi's face, but Li Mi knew in his heart that Guo Ziyi had already given him a face in what happened to Li Wu just now. Moreover, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to take Chang'an and Luoyang, it would indeed have a great effect if the help from the Uighurs were helped. So Li Mi smiled slightly and had a decision in his heart.
"Your Majesty, what the Deputy Marshal said is indeed reasonable. Recapturing the two capitals is of great significance to our Tang Dynasty and cannot be misunderstood. The Uighur cavalry is strong and can be used, but how many soldiers and horses are led by whom, and who will listen to the orders after arrival, Your Majesty still has to make a long-term plan!"
Li Mi said this and Li Heng knew it. He nodded to Guo Ziyi and said, "In two days, I will formulate some conditions. Then you will also send a letter to Khan Huairen to make up the matter."
"Your Majesty Yingrui! If you don't succeed in this trip, you will die!"
This is even Guo Ziyi's military order. In fact, Guo Ziyi is already sixty years old this year.
He went from martial arts to this point step by step. In the Tang Dynasty, he was unprecedented and unparalleled. At this age, Guo Ziyi didn't have much selfishness.
Although Li Yu is nominally the Grand Marshal and he is just the deputy Marshal, everyone knows that he is the one who really takes his troops outside to fight.
Whether it is to recapture the two capitals or take down the cities of Hebei Road, he will definitely make the greatest contribution in the end. He doesn’t ask for anything else, but asks someone to leave his name in history based on his ability!
With Guo Ziyi's guarantee with the word "death", Li Heng felt much more open, but he also forgot Li's credit.
Half a month later, Fengxiang sent two letters, one to the north and the other to the east.
Almost everyone knew that the emperor was going to borrow troops from the Uighurs, but few people knew that the emperor kept Li Yan, who had just broken up 150,000 rebels, in Suiyang.
Li Heng thought for more than ten days and discussed with Li Mi and others several times. Finally, he decided to borrow 5,000 elite cavalry from the Uighurs, and he would be led by the crown prince of Huairen Khan Ye Hu. As for the benefits that the Tang Dynasty could give to the Uighurs, he would have to wait until Ye Hu arrived before discussing it.
Borrowing soldiers is a matter of not being very respectful. Li Heng did this just to make himself, the emperor, live a little bit in terms of face. As for the benefits he gave to others, everyone understands that the Uighurs cannot get up early without profit. It is impossible to have the most elite five thousand cavalrymen at a cost.
Li Heng just verbally praised Li Yong, and then asked Li Yong to continue to stand by in Suiyang City, saying that it was at the critical moment when he recaptured the two capitals, and Li Yong had to ensure that there was no problem with the rent-in-arms of Jianghuai.
When the letter arrived at Suiyang City, it was read in front of the officials in Suiyang City. After reading it, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Nan Jiyun and others all showed displeasure.
They never expected that Li Heng would just expose his own son so much after making such a great contribution.
You know, if this battle is promoted, it will definitely be a big blow to An Qingxu's morale, and now, this opportunity has been wasted.
However, Li Qing was very relaxed. As a result, he gave thanks to the emperor's letter, and kept the guards who came to deliver the letter, and even left them to have a good meal.
"Jingdushi, such a great achievement has been revealed like this? It seems that someone around His Majesty is slandering you!"
Zhang Xun had a smart head and an unobstructed mouth. After the messenger left, he said this immediately.
Although Xu Yuan and the others did not agree, they did not refute it. What they meant was clearly expressed.
