Chapter 433 Volume 4 Li Er’s shock and confusion

Li Xiaogong did not speak in a hurry, but looked back at Li Er, nodded after seeing that it was insignificant, and then said: "We only saw the result, and we know that His Highness won this battle and defeated Murong Fuyun.

It even annexed the entire Tuyuhun.

This is the result we already know, but don’t forget, this is a war! Putting aside His Highness’s age, just talking about the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, in order to win this battle, what kind of pressure is His Highness under?

It's something we have no way of knowing.

Moreover, judging from the current information, His Highness divided this war into three battlefields, and each battlefield was cut into several smaller battlefields.

This is actually a very risky thing.

Compared to a major war, a single move can affect the whole body, and a defeat on any battlefield may lead to irreversible consequences.

So, even though His Highness has won, winning this battle will definitely not be easy."

"What's the difference between you saying this and not saying it?" Hearing what Li Xiaogong said, Xiao Yu frowned, "Don't any of us know that it's not easy for His Highness to win? Do you still need to say this?"

"We don't know the specific situation now, and what we can say is actually limited." Li Xiaogong was a little embarrassed. The reason why he stood up was just to defend Li Chengqian.

After all, the clan has such a number one figure. As the prince of the clan, he naturally has to protect him.

But there are some things that he actually finds it inconvenient to say too much.

"Okay, wait a minute." Hearing this, Li Er looked at His Highness's envoy who was still at a loss and asked, "Is there no more news from Hezhou?"

"Back to Your Majesty, our general has sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the news. My subordinates are just coming back to report the victory. More detailed information will be sent back later."

Li Er nodded, then waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

"Let's all disperse. In any case, Gao Ming's capture of Tuyuhun is a good thing for Datang. The situation is unclear for now, and we will discuss it later when the situation becomes clearer."

The news spread so widely that everyone in Chang'an knew about it, let alone the court.

There was no way. Ever since Li Chengqian made a lot of good things in Riyue Mountain, many caravans had flocked to the whole Tang Dynasty, not to mention Chang'an, and news spread out along with those caravans.

Nowadays, let alone the court, the most talked about thing in the Chang'an market is Prince Li Chengqian's defeat of Tuyuhun. It is estimated that this topic will become a pastime for countless people for a while.

"I'll take my leave." After hearing what Li Er said, everyone immediately bowed and said goodbye.

However, as soon as everyone left the palace, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others consciously waited aside.

They knew that Li Er would still summon them. How could such a big matter be settled in just a few words?

It's just that there were so many people just now, it was inconvenient to speak.

Sure enough, in just a moment, the chamberlain summoned Fang Xuanling and others to the Liangyi Hall for an audience.

"See Your Majesty."

"Are you all here?" Seeing that everyone was here, Li Er said, "What do you think of Gao Ming's defeat of Tuyuhun?"

"The situation is not yet clear, and we cannot explain why." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "But what is certain is that His Highness did win this battle.

As for the specific experience, we have to wait until the situation becomes clearer."

Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Er waved, and two servants immediately took out a map and spread it out. Li Er also walked down and said, "This is what I did after Gao Ming went to Tuyuhun."

A map of Tuyuhun that was drawn by others."

Speaking of this, Li Er pointed at the Kan map and then said, "Judging from the information we have obtained now, Gao Ming's military strength is divided into the Water River Army, the Expeditionary Army, and the Resentful Army. The total strength is about

Around 70,000.

Murong Fuyun's military strength was divided into the King of Xihai, the King of Dingcheng, and other famous kings plus his own total military strength of about 160,000.

Then there are 20,000 troops from the coalition forces of the countries in the Western Region, plus Ashina's army of more than 30,000.

These are the troops officially invested in this war, totaling nearly 300,000 troops.

As for the real troops belonging to Gao Ming's confidants, they were actually only Qibi Heli's Zhengxi Army and Resentment Army, with a total strength of only forty thousand.

This was also the force Gao Ming had when he went north.

As for the Chuihe Army, they were captured by Gao Ming after he defeated Murong Fuyun.

Strictly speaking, Gao Ming used these 40,000 troops to accomplish an almost impossible feat, and it only took a few months.

In other words, when Gao Ming went north, the situation was worrying..."

After hearing what Li Er said, everyone fell silent.

Some things just can't stand to be thought about carefully. Once they think about it carefully, everyone can't help but sigh.

Do you think Li Chengqian is great?

Haha, of course it's awesome.

Judging from what Li Er just said, Li Chengqian's situation when he went north was indeed worrying.

As for how Li Er obtained these data, it goes without saying. It is impossible for Li Er not to pay attention to everything Li Chengqian is doing now.

Whether he is concerned about his son from the perspective of a father, or concerned about his throne from the perspective of an emperor, he will do many things secretly.

But even so, Li Er was amazed by Li Chengqian's actions.

A mere 40,000 troops marched north. Facing hundreds of thousands of troops, Li Chengqian not only became stronger and stronger as he fought, but also completed the final reversal, defeated Murong Fuyun, and became the new master of the Tuyuhun land.

And it only took a few months, which is indeed an amazing performance.

Even though everyone knows that it will take a long time for Li Chengqian to stabilize the various rebellions in Tuyuhun in the future, but based on the abilities that Li Chengqian has shown now, these are not problems.

"Furthermore, judging from the situation from the beginning, all the countries in the Western Regions, including Ashina Eli, came to aid Murong Fuyun." Changsun Wuji said, "After the ordnance of the Ming Dynasty appeared in Bisha City,

Wei Chen sent people to investigate, and according to Wei Chen's investigation.

It was Ashina Jerli who sold these ordnance to Goguryeo.

Ashina's move is tantamount to framing His Highness. After all, His Highness is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the weapons he developed actually appeared in the hands of the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, thus killing our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Just this one item is a big trouble for His Highness.

For this reason, it is rare to be attacked.

Besides, if His Highness annexed Tuyuhun in just one year, wouldn't Ashina Zerli worry that he would be the next target of annexation?

My lips are dead and my teeth are cold!

Therefore, I don’t believe that Ashina Zerli supported His Highness from the beginning.

As for the countries in the Western Regions, that is even more nonsense.

His Highness had promised in the Taiji Hall that he would conquer the Western Regions, but now his words had spread throughout the country, and it was impossible for the countries in the Western Regions not to know about it.

As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Highness is the saying goes that you have no joke. Once you say it, Your Highness will always practice it.

Otherwise, how will the world view His Highness?

It was precisely because Murong Fuyun valued this opportunity that he planned to unite the countries in the Western Regions to send troops to the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, if Murong Fuyun had not signed an alliance with Ashina Eli and other countries in the Western Regions, how could their army enter Tuyuhun?

If this were the case, Murong Fuyun would definitely not send his troops south.

All signs indicate that there is a reason we don’t know why Ashina Eli and the countries in the Western Regions broke their alliance, and this reason must be related to His Highness.

It's just that Wei Chen can't understand.

It's okay to say that Ashina Eli is alone. After all, Ashina Eli is short-sighted, and for the time being, there is no direct conflict of interest between him and His Highness.

But the countries in the Western Regions are different. How His Highness persuaded the countries in the Western Regions to abandon their covenant with Murong Fuyun is worth pondering.

After all, even if we stand in His Highness's position, we may not be able to solve this problem."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, everyone nodded.

This is indeed the most puzzling thing for them.

They were also thinking about how they could convince the countries in the Western Regions if they were in Li Chengqian's position, but after thinking about it, everyone sighed in unison.

In other words, none of them can figure it out.

But they couldn't even think of a way, but Li Chengqian did it, which makes people think a lot.

Li Er was actually thinking about this question too, but again, he had no answer.

Even he could not persuade the countries in the Western Regions to fight against Li Chengqian's position.

Just at this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, a secret report from Taozhou."

With that said, the chamberlain respectfully placed a memorial on Li Er's desk.

When Li Er heard this, he immediately picked up the memorial and read it carefully.

Fang Xuanling and others also looked eagerly at the memorial in Li's second hand.

Li Er, who was looking at the memorial, shook his head and laughed from time to time, nodded in approval from time to time, which made Fang Xuanling and others' eyes wide open.

No, what the hell is going on, why don't you say something.
