Chapter 14: Going to the border

Zhang said that Dacai Panpan was a great joy. Chen Xuanli and the others were all happy. They thought Li Longji would agree readily, but they didn't expect it. Li Longji frowned and didn't say anything for a long time.

"King of Chu." Chen Xuanli whispered and agreed quickly. Zhang said that if such a talented person missed it, he would regret it.

"This... is difficult to deal with." Li Longji pondered for a while before he spoke slowly, saying, "Your Majesty's plan to be the best in the world, and you are very trusted by Your Majesty. Although Your Majesty is just your official position, who knew that he thought of you and summoned you back again."

"King of Chu, please rest assured. Zhang Shuo was already determined to resign. Wu Sansi sued me, and Zhang Shuo just followed the trend." Zhang Shuo hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said, "Zhang Shuo thought the King of Chu was a young hero with a bright future, so he was determined to look up to the King of Chu and came to join him and begged the King of Chu to take him in."

"I'm just a little smart, and I can't talk about a bright future." Li Longji still had no intention of taking it in.

"Although the King of Chu is young, he is a wise and brave man, and has few people who can match it. If he can follow the King of Chu and play in front of the horse, that would be the luck of Zhang Shuo." Zhang Shuo said hurriedly.

"Is that right?" Li Longji said lightly: "But I don't have a suitable official position here."

"Why aren't there? Sima, Sima." Chen Xuanli and the others shouted in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

"The King of Chu is so serious. Zhang said that this is not for the sake of officialdom." Zhang said that he was a little anxious.

He was unwilling to defend himself and followed the situation and was dismissed from office by Wu Zetian. In order to follow Li Longji, Li Longji actually had the intention to not take him in, so he had to hurry.

"Okay, I'll accept you." Li Longji looked very embarrassed and said, "Then you just make a horse..."

The tone is dragged long.

"Thank you, King Chu! Zhang said he would like to be a horseman and lead the horse and fall into stirrups for King Chu." Zhang said his face was filled with joy.

"Zhang said, are you thinking a lot? I am talking about Sima." Li Longji said in a deep voice with a solemn face.

"Sima?" Zhang said very surprised. He heard Li Longji's meaning and thought Li Longji wanted him to be a groom. He never expected that it was Sima.

Sima is equivalent to the "Chief of Staff" and is Li Longji's left arm and right arm. People who are not Li Longji trusted very much will not have such an important position. Zhang said that he would not be surprised.

"That's right, it's Sima." Li Longji focused his attention and said affirmatively.

"Thank you, King Chu!" Zhang said in a high tone, with tears rolling in his eyes, and he was very excited.

Zhang said that there was no friendship with Li Longji. Li Longji gave him such an important position, which shows that Li Longji valued him very much, and Zhang said that he could not help but be excited.

"Chen Xuanli and the others are very suitable for Sima. Since you are here, just be Sima. Chen Xuanli and the others will charge forward." Li Longji seemed to have given Zhang a great kindness.

Chen Xuanli and the others rolled their eyes. Although Chen Xuanli and the others were able to do the position of Sima, they were more suitable to lead the army to fight. Zhang Shuo is the best candidate for Sima, why has he become a place specially made for Zhang Shuo?

"The King of Chu is very kind, Zhang said to keep it in mind." Zhang said to look at Chen Xuanli and the others and agreed with Li Longji's words. He was very grateful and his tone was a little high.

"In this way, you will be more loyal to me." Li Longji listened to Zhang Saw's excited words and was very satisfied.

Li Longji's move was to strengthen Zhang Shuo's heart and was a means.

There are many such records in history. For example, Shang Yang entered Qin, and clearly wanted Qin Xiaogong to use him more, but Shang Yang pretended to be stupid twice, and only showed his gloriousness when he was the third time. For example, Fan Sui entered Qin, in order to strengthen the heart of King Zhao of Qin, and after pretending, King Zhao of Qin had to kneel down to ask for advice, and then he offered the strange strategy of "matching far and near and attacking nearby".

Zhang’s character is beyond words. Li Longji has seen it for a long time. But if he doesn’t do this, wouldn’t it be too easy to just tell Zhang Sima’s position?

With Zhang Shuo, the preparations went very smoothly.

During this period, there was one thing that had to be said, that was, when Li Chengqi saw that Li Longji was going to fight against the Turks, he was also alive and was about to go to the border, so he went to ask Wu Zetian for his order. However, not long after, he returned dejectedly, and Wu Zetian was not sure.

Soon, it was time to go to the border.

Longguang Gate is the northern gate of the palace.

Early in the morning, there were crowds of people here, and countless people came to see Wang Xiaojie off, with tens of thousands.

The people gathered here and talked loudly.

"The hateful Turks have been attacking the border again. This time, we must fight the Turks extinction."

"The Turks are the great enemy of China. They have been plundering my borders and killing my people for hundreds of years. I don't know how many people died unjustly under the butcher's knife of the Turks. Fortunately, there are wise monarchs like Emperor Taizong and famous generals like Li Jing in China who destroyed the Turks in one fell swoop."

"But the Turks did not give up. They wanted to restore the country, gather hundreds of thousands of people, disturb my borders, and then kill my people. Whenever they think of this, their hearts were as painful as a knife."

"Have you heard that? This time the Turks invaded the border more than before, and they were fierce and cruel, and they killed and injured many people on the border."

"The Turks committed a huge murderous disaster. When our army defeated their crowds, they should also kill them. This is called "Too for a tooth!"

The Turks rose during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, threatening the north, attacking the Central Plains many times, killing a lot, which made China hate. This time, the Turks invaded the border more than usual, and killed a lot, causing many people to be killed and injured, which aroused the hatred of the people.

In history, this time when the Turks invaded the border, there were as many as 80,000 to 90,000 people alone, and there were countless people killed by the Turks, which estimated that there were no less than 300,000 to 400,000, or even more.

"Your Majesty is here!" Suddenly, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded.

The people's discussion came to an abrupt end, as if they were cut by scissors, and their eyes were full of heat, staring at the palace.

I saw the Longguang Gate wide open, and a team of thousands of cavalry drove out first.

"Thousand Cavalry! It's Thousand Cavalry!" Thousand Cavalry is the most elite army in the empire. It is famous and has a high prestige. When the people see Thousand Cavalry, they are all excited. They all have a hot eyes and want to become Thousand Cavalry themselves.

After Qianqi, there were eunuchs and palace maids. They left Longguang Gate and immediately became busy, busy setting up short tables and pouring wine.

Wu Zetian wanted to see Wang Xiaojie off in person, and this wine was indispensable, so the eunuchs and palace maids had to be busy with this matter.

Then a team of civil and military ministers appeared. They were all tall and tall, wearing high-end clothes, wearing big clothes, and wearing excited faces.

The Tang Dynasty had great martial arts. Anyone who was a man was willing to make contributions on the battlefield, and literati were even more proud of taking the sword. Wu Zetian wanted to launch a large army this time, which was very exciting in itself, and it was difficult for the ministers to be excited.

After them, important officials such as Wu Zetian, Di Renjie and Wang Xiaojie came in big strides.

Wu Zetian wore a crown and a royal robe, with a majestic look, a steady and powerful gait, and he walked in big strides.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian has a lofty position in the minds of the people, and the people were very excited when they saw her.

Wang Xiaojie was dressed in military uniform, wearing an iron cloak, and a bright light armor. He was majestic and like a god descending to earth.

"That's Marshal Wang! It's Marshal Wang!"

As a famous general, Wang Xiaojie also has a great status in the minds of the people, not to mention that he took charge this time, and the people's favorability for him doubled.

Di Renjie was wearing a purple shirt, as calm as a mountain.

"It's the old man! It's the old man!"

Di Renjie had a great status in the minds of the people, and when the people saw him, they cheered again.

Li Dan followed Wu Zetian and the others. When the people saw him, they burst into a shocking roar: "The emperor! The emperor!"

"This..." Li Dan was surprised and looked disbelief.

Li Dan, the imperial heir, was empty, had no real power, and had no achievements. He really couldn't have imagined that the people were so excited.

"People think about Li!" Li Longji heard it, but he understood the whole story.

Although Wu Zetian succeeded in the Tang Dynasty, the people still looked up to Li. How could they not cheer when they saw Li Dan?

Li Longji wore an iron trouser and a bright light armor, and walked in big strides, which was very majestic.

"King of Chu! That's King of Chu!"

"King of Chu! King of Chu!"

"The King of Chu is going to the battlefield? Long live! Long live!"

When the people saw Li Longji, they burst into shocking roars, and they were all excited.

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this matter is difficult to be complete in ancient times."

"I hope people will be praised for a long time and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away."
