Chapter 80: Back to Suiyang

Not only that, when Li Yan went to the Pugu Department, he also laid some preparations for what happened at this time. Now that his prerequisites have been met, Li Yan certainly will not let An Qingxu have a good opportunity to recuperate for several months or even a year.

"There is another thing. I wonder if the Deputy Marshal has thought that after Shi Siming was defeated by General Li Guangbi in Taiyuan, he has been guarding Fanyang. Now, Dayan has not only changed the leader, but also suffered great defeats in Chang'an and Luoyang. An Qingxu is incompetent. I am afraid that not only our army knows it, but also the enemy."

Speaking of this, Li Qing looked at Guo Ziyi with a flash of eyes. Guo Ziyi was just a little stunned for a moment, and then she understood.

"The prince means that once An Qingxu wants to return to Fanyang, Shi Siming is not necessarily willing to be the mainstay of him?"

"That's true, Shi Siming's current strength is far stronger than An Qingxu. Once someone guides him, he will almost certainly make a rebellious choice."

"Guide? There are no one lurking in our army among the rebels. How to guide them?"

"So I can only force my guidance. No matter where An Qingxu ran, he had to be beaten back to Fanyang. And the more embarrassed he was, the better. What would happen between the two of them at that time was of course clear at a glance."

After Li Yan finished speaking, Guo Ziyi nodded slightly, but finally sighed, and then said, "After that being said, I don't think the Grand Marshal would agree to this matter."

"Deputy Marshal, I am the governor of Henan. This time, my father allocated the five thousand cavalry under my command, which was only an auxiliary attack on the two capitals. Now that these two capitals have been taken down, I naturally have to go back to Henan Road. After all, Henan Road is not far from the two capitals and the enemy's place to escape. When I go back, it can be regarded as protecting the two capitals, and it is my responsibility!"

Li Yan said so much, and Guo Ziyi knew what the real purpose was, but as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Guo Ziyi waved his hand and said, "It is not a wise move for the prince to go back at this time. When Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor return to Chang'an City, they will definitely summon all of us who have recovered the two capitals to reward them according to merits. If the prince returns, once Your Majesty is angry, the prince's efforts in these two battles will be in vain!"

Guo Ziyi was very thoughtful, and even if Li Yi’s contribution was very great, it would be reduced a lot. If Li Yi returned to Henan Road before Li Heng and the others came back, he would even face a situation where he could not make any contribution.

Guo Ziyi saw how much role Li Yan played on the battlefield this time. Of course, he didn't want Li Yan to miss this opportunity to regain some previous trust in front of Li Heng.

"The efforts of my king will save the people of Chang'an and Luoyang from the ravages of the rebels. So what if you want to make a contribution? Compared with these contributions, I would rather drive An Qingxu back to Fanyang. If I can really make a spark between him and Shi Siming, it would be worth it!"

Guo Ziyi was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "It is really a blessing to have you, King Jianning, in the Tang Dynasty! If the prince insists on doing this, I will also bring back the credit that the prince deserves in front of His Majesty!"

When Li Qing heard this, he smiled and said, "I have something to do, and I have to let the deputy marshal help me!"

"Oh? King Jianning, but it's okay!"

"I am not very familiar with Li Guangbi. I also asked the Deputy Marshal to help me prepare a book after I left. I will contact him at that time!"

Taiyuan Prefecture is located north of Xiangzhou, while Suiyang is located south of Xiangzhou. These two places are about the same distance from Xiangzhou. Once An Qingxu really arrives in Xiangzhou, even if he is accompanied by a remnants of defeated soldiers, Li Ning will not be able to annihilate the troops from Henan Road.

Therefore, Li Neng had to attack Li Guangbi from the south to really make An Qingxu a loser and flee back to Fanyang in a hurry to achieve what Li Neng said before.

"Don't worry about this. If the prince decides to return to Henan Road to do this, I can write a letter to Li Guangbixiu tonight. Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely respond to this matter. However, after fighting with Shi Siming, there shouldn't be many soldiers under his command. Compared with your soldiers in Suiyang, they are probably inferior to those of you."

After this conversation, even though the two agreed on this matter, after Li Yan returned to his room, he called Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun to his side and explained his intentions.

"Does the prince not want to be rewarded by His Majesty in Chang'an City for his merits?"

Nan Jiyun was straightforward. As soon as he heard Li Wen's words, he asked with his big eyes.

"I am not interested in those. Now I am in the position of Henan Jiedushi and have no other requests. Instead of waiting for those shadowless rewards, it is better to do something practical for the people of my Tang Dynasty. By the way, if you two want to stay here and wait for your father to reward me in Chang'an City, I can keep you here."

"What did the prince say? Are we greedy for those meritorious people? Let's set off tonight!"

Nan Jiyun couldn't stand Li Qing's provocation, so he shouted that he was leaving. Although Zhang Xun had not said anything, his expression had already explained everything.

The next day, Li Yong dressed neatly in Li Yu's room.

"What? Go back to Suiyang? Isn't the third brother waiting for his father and the Supreme Emperor to return? Once the father learns that the third brother returns to Suiyang early, isn't it worth the loss?"

Li Yu had never thought of the idea proposed by Li Yi at all. He could not understand why Li Yi had this idea. Whether it was Li Heng or Li Mi, Li Yu's eyes were indeed biased towards him and suppressed Li Yi.

But what Li Yu was thinking was that Li Yi would not have any idea of ​​competing with him. As long as he could submit to Li Heng, there would never be a bad result.

"Henan Road is located between the two capitals and the rebels, and it is an important place. Now An Qingxu doesn't know where to go. I'm not at ease if I don't return to Henan Road to take charge! As for my father's side, my brother will kick me and explain a few words!"

Seeing that Li Yu had settled his attention, Li Yu could only shake his head and sigh and send Li Yu away.

For Li Yu, his cheap brother, Li Qing really has nothing to do with him except his personality.
