Chapter 46 The role of pioneer
Seeing that it might be inevitable that Li Mi would participate in the battle against the two capitals, Li Mi simply changed his mind.
After all, according to his ideas, if the two capitals are captured, not to mention anything else, Li Yu's contribution as the marshal of the world's military and horses will definitely be the greatest. With such a great contribution, will the establishment of a prince take advantage of the moment when Chang'an City be regained and established a prince just improve the reputation of the Tang Dynasty?
"That's natural, I'm just thinking about it. However, the rebels have not yet shown any decline. It's better not to say this before public. When I take back Chang'an City and take over Tai Chi Palace, I will naturally have an explanation for these!"
Li Heng rarely said this and a small ball of flame burned in his eyes. Obviously, he had planned what happened after he recovered Chang'an and Luoyang. However, neither he nor Li Mi expected that there was something that had already forgotten them in the back of their heads.
After all, an emperor did not ascend the throne in Chang'an City. After ascending the throne, he lived in exile in the second year, which never happened in the Tang Dynasty.
After reaching an agreement with Li Heng, Li Mi immediately appeared at the General's Mansion, which is Li Yu's mansion in Yong County and also where Li Mi comes almost every day.
"What? The third brother actually formed a cavalry in Suiyang City?" After hearing the news, Li Yu's face showed a hint of joy in addition to being surprised.
"Master Marshal, this is probably not a good thing for you!"
"Sir, are you afraid that my third brother will affect my military achievements after his return? You don't have to worry about this. Third brother is also a man who grew up with me. He has not had his mother by his side since he was a child, so he became more brave and fierce. He is indeed a person who is unyielding. But now in the Tang Dynasty, isn't it necessary for a prince like the third brother to stand up?"
Obviously, Li Yu did not regard him as an enemy at all. After all, the third brother who had been following him since childhood was still deeper in Li Yu's heart than Li Mi.
Not only that, it is one thing whether Li Yu wants to be the prince or not. As Li Heng's eldest son, he received personal guidance from Li Longji since he was a child. Such a sense of superiority has actually taken root in his heart. He has gained a position that is not easy to gain, and has never been cherished. This sentence is the most appropriate thing for Li Yu now.
He had never thought of what the position of the Grand Marshal and Prince within his reach meant, and he didn't know that he could have been an emperor who had been famous throughout the ages, but he had just been born in the wrong era.
"The Grand Marshal doesn't know that people's hearts will change. King Jianning may have been a rampant person before, but since the day Li Fuguo and Zhang Liangdi were pushed into a desperate situation, he may not be the Jianning King before, and heroes will be born in troubled times! But King Jianning has become a hero, which is not a good thing for you."
Li Yu did not rush to ask questions this time, but silently took a sip of tea, then looked at Li Mi again, and asked word by word: "Sir, I have almost never ascended the throne since Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Every previous inheritance of the throne was inevitable. Why did Mr. think I could become the crown prince?"
"Hmph, since ancient times, the rule of establishing elders but not young people. Now, my Tang Dynasty is about to be clear and upright."
In such an era when the imperial power was a little floating, the emperor was Li Heng, whom he had been very familiar with since childhood. He was used to it without restraint. What he didn't see was that after he said this, a sneer appeared on Li Yu's face.
"Don't worry, sir, my third brother came back to recover Chang'an City, right? After regaining Chang'an City, isn't this contribution still the world's military marshal?"
Seeing that Li Yu finally got a little a little upset, Li Mi felt a little relieved and left the Marshal's Mansion.
Looking at Li Mi's back, Li Yu's face became a little complicated at that time.
He hadn't felt it much before, but at that moment just now, he suddenly felt that what his character, who was both a teacher and a friend, really cared about was not whether the Tang Dynasty could win the battle with the rebels, but whether the change of imperial power was implemented according to the theory in his mind.
Li Yu believed that if the age between him and Li Qing changed, the person Li Mi supported would definitely become Li Qing.
Looking at the direction of Suiyang City, a feeling of melancholy appeared on Li Yu's face.
Li Qing had no interest in knowing the undercurrents in Yong County. He had already focused on allowing this cavalry to improve his combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
Chang'an and Luoyang are simply the source of happiness for the rebels. Once the Tang Dynasty wants to recover, it is certain that people will be willing to fight your life. At that time, strategies and tactics will not be so important. If you do it with real swords and guns, the ability to kill people and save lives is the most important.
The purpose of Li Qing forming these 5,000 cavalry was indeed to allow himself to return to the battle to attack Chang'an and Luoyang, but he didn't want to take him away with him five thousand people, and after the battle was over, there were only five hundred left.
"Prince, Your Majesty has sent someone from Fengxiang to pass the order!"
Li Yan was personally supervising the training of the cavalry in the military camp outside the city that day. Xu Yuan came over from the city with a very excited look on his face. Obviously, not only was Li Yan waiting for this day, but they were waiting for it.
"In the old man's heart, it's more important to take Chang'an City back from the rebels!"
After muttering this, Li Qing rode his horse back to the city. He knew that this was a small turning point for him. Although Li Heng's attitude towards him would not change at all, Li Qing never wanted to take Li Heng's route. What he wanted to take was the route of the world.
After arriving in the city, Li Yong received a letter written to him by Li Heng himself. After throwing the letter down, the sender went back directly, obviously he had received Li Heng's orders long ago.
"Prince, how did Your Majesty say in this letter?"
Li Neng looked at the letter, and Zhang Xun and the others looked at him eagerly. They already knew Li Neng’s plan. Now that success or failure is in this letter, how can they not be in a hurry?
