Chapter 83
Li Guangbi explained clearly in the letter that this time they sent troops, it must be a secret, and it must not be allowed to be known to Chang'an until there is no result.
When attacking Xiangzhou, they had to be beaten by surprise, otherwise just their troops would not be enough.
After Li Neng received Li Guangbi's letter, a raging fire had already ignited in his heart. What he was most afraid of was that Li Guangbi did not support him, and now the last obstacle was gone, so Li Neng was of course very happy.
"In three days, we will take 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to Luzhou. General Li Guangbi will also bring 10,000 troops to meet us nearby!"
This time, Li Wu simply took Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, the brothers who worshipped him.
Although Zhang Xun can kill enemies on the battlefield, his combat effectiveness is still much worse than that of Nan Jiyun and the others. Li Qing thinks he is more suitable for planning. If he always leads such a fight, if Zhang Xun is on the battlefield one day, Li Qing will probably regret it to death.
"Prince, our army and Li Guangbi have only 25,000 troops in one place. The cavalry is not good at siegeing the city. It is still very difficult to capture Xiangzhou!"
Seeing that he could not follow him, Zhang Xun wanted to do his best to tell him everything he could think before Li Yan set off.
"If both Li Guangbi and I were in full bloom, if something happened to Henan Road or Taiyuan Prefecture, it would be a great sin. Only half of each person was given out. Moreover, this time, it would be impossible to attack Xiangzhou. An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang would not have thought that when the army was waiting for their father to return, someone would attack them. Therefore, we will definitely take Xiangzhou by trick!"
Although it was a clever way, Li Neng did not think of any good idea. After all, he had never been to Xiangzhou and had no idea about the surrounding area. Li Guangbi himself had never fought with him.
Originally, Li Qing wanted to attack Xiangzhou from both north and south with Li Guangbi, but obviously he was afraid that both sides would not understand each other's ability and intentions, so he decided to meet again before talking.
Li Neng still has a lot of expectations for Li Guangbi. Although he is not young, he is still in his teens younger than Guo Ziyi. He is a person who can fight tough battles. He just defeated Shi Siming with less victory and more in Taiyuan, so he must have the ability.
Li Yi knew very well that it would be fine if he succeeded in doing this. Once he failed, Li Mi and the others knew that he would definitely take the blame. But since he has arrived at this era, he must do what he thinks is right, rather than be afraid of the impact that Li Mi can bring to him.
Moreover, according to previous history, since Chang'an City was taken down, it marked a turning point in the rebellion. Li Mi logically said that he should have succeeded and retired at this time and go back to his own mountain to cultivate immortals. He may not necessarily ascend in the daytime, right?
Indeed, just like what Li Neng was thinking, at this time, Li Mi was talking to Li Heng about his departure.
"Your Majesty, when we came out of the mountain before, we could have an appointment first. I will only assist you in retaking Chang'an City. Now Chang'an City is in the hands of Your Majesty again, so it's time for me to leave!"
In fact, Li Mi is still very resistant to fame and fortune. He does not want to be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, because now he and Li Heng can eat at the same table and rest on a mat in Fengxiang's palace, sometimes just like when they were young.
But he knew that once he returned to Chang'an, once Li Heng was allowed to go to Tai Chi Palace and began to truly take charge of the government, this situation would not happen.
Instead of being restricted by the rules and regulations on the court in Chang'an City, Li Mi felt that it would be better to return to his mountain to feel comfortable.
He is a perfectionist and has his own set of ideals in his heart. This is the reason why he tried his best to make Li Heng appoint Li Yu as the crown prince.
But if he leaves Li Heng's side, he really doesn't want to care about this matter. It doesn't matter whether he and Li Qing are personally good at temper. He is the same as Li Qing, that is, it's right to things and people.
"Sir, you can't leave me at this time. Although the two capitals can be temporarily recovered, the Tang Dynasty is still in turmoil. The rebels still have more troops than the number of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. Several Jiedushis in the south, Tubo people, and Nanzhao people, are not eyeing the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that they are wrong, and they are wrong every step! If there is no sir, how should my Tang Dynasty restore its previous strength?"
Li Heng was really sincere in Li Mi's attempt to keep Li Mi. Looking at the emperor whose tears were rolling in his eyes, Li Mi himself felt a little soft-hearted.
But he knew that if he arrived in Chang'an City and entered the Tang Dynasty, even if he had violated his original plans, he would probably not be as tough and free as he is now when speaking and doing things.
"Although Your Majesty's words make sense, I had a gentleman's appointment with Your Majesty before. Even if I go back to the mountain, Your Majesty can still communicate with me if you have important things."
"Ah! Although my Tang Dynasty seems to have won now, it is because of the disguise of the Uighurs. I don't know what year or time it will take until completely eradicating the rebels. If the Uighurs come to help me with the Tang Dynasty, I can still feel at ease to let my husband go back to Hengshan. The current situation... It's better for the gentleman to go to Chang'an City. I won't tie the gentleman with my official position. I only stay in the palace of King Guangping and teach King Guangping by the way, how about it?"
Li Heng, an emperor, has already made his life to this point. Li Mi himself is a little embarrassed, thinking that if he doesn't give Li Heng a good friend, the good guy, the relationship between the two of them will be a little unhappy in the future.
In this way, the second change after Li Yong arrived in the Tang Dynasty came. Li Mi, who should have returned to Hengshan to practice immortality at this time, could not withstand the nagging of Li Heng, who was brought back to Chang'an City by Li Heng.
Li Mi and Li Neng are actually people who even sacrifice their lives for their own ideals. They would rather fail than bend, even if they know they cannot do anything, they have to try it.
