Inside the camp, the two principals and ministers did not speak for a long time.
Finally, Du Ruhui analyzed: "Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, has always been good to the prince. Although he followed the king to Shannan Road to quell the rebellion, he did not make any meritorious deeds. This time the saint asked Li Yuan to command the Yunyang army, which was definitely not the case.
It is out of trust in Li Yuan. In the eyes of my subordinates, the prince should be the one who exerts the force."
"I don't know." Li Zhiyun picked up a cup of tea and drank water to moisten his dry throat. "Who is Li Yuan? Thousands of people are the limit, let alone ten thousand troops. If Li Jiancheng hadn't secretly helped him, Li Yuan would have been
...How could my father pay attention to him? Keming, I and you both miscalculated."
He didn't call him brother, let alone prince, but called the prince by his name in an extremely rude way. Du Ruhui understood that the King of Chu was already furious.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Calm down?" Li Zhiyun looked at Du Ruhui with a pair of stern eyes, "Keming, do you know that the soldiers and horses in the Yunyang camp are direct descendants of the soldiers who followed me from Jinyang! Now, he will take it away as he says, treating me as such
That’s a waste of time?”
Du Ruhui pursed his lips and reminded solemnly, "Does your Majesty want to follow the example of Liu Chang of the former Han Dynasty?"
Liu Chang of the former Han Dynasty, King Li of Huainan, half-brother of Emperor Xiaowen of the former Han Dynasty. This son was raised at the knees of Empress Lu since he was a child, so he escaped death. When he was in his prime, he was strong enough to withstand the war. His mother Zhao
Ji died because of Shen Shi's failure to rescue him, so Liu Chang had been resentful since he was a child.
Later, when Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty came to power, Liu Changchui killed him and tried to eat him.
That's right, the young man hammered a dying old man to death with a hammer.
Du Ruhui said this to remind Li Zhiyun not to be impulsive. Impulsiveness will cause huge and irreparable mistakes.
Also, don't use your anger in the wrong place.
Li Jiancheng doesn't owe you anything. He took away your military power today, which was expected. Just as Shen Shiqi couldn't save Zhao Ji, he didn't owe Zhao Ji anything. Liu Changchui killed Shen Shiqi. It can only be said that he was incompetent and furious.
Because it was Empress Lu who really killed Zhao Ji.
After hearing Du Ruhui's warning, Li Zhiyun gradually calmed down.
"This king has lost his composure."
"I can understand the king's mood, but the matter has not yet gotten out of hand."
Li Zhiyun sighed: "The letter states that the army has followed Li Yuan to Shangzhou, and it is too late for me to rush back at this time."
"Your Majesty, you can't rush back at all."
"Why?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled, "Do you want me to watch the Yunyang Army be captured by the Crown Prince?"
Du Ruhui shook his head, "Your Majesty, the Yunyang army does not belong to the prince, but to the saint. If the king rushes back to Chang'an and asks the saint to change the generals, what will the saint think? The King of Chu is infatuated with military power? The King of Chu is unwilling to delegate power? Or is the King of Chu just wanting to change his generals?
Control the army? Or maybe the King of Chu has disloyal intentions?"
The words made Li Zhiyun sweat profusely.
Only now, he has calmed down completely like the cold water of the winter moon. The Yunyang army has always been under his control, plus it is the direct descendant of Jinyang's army, and Li Yuan's acquiescence, Li Zhiyun has this army from the bottom of his heart.
Consider it his private song.
But he forgot that the person in charge of the Tang Dynasty was a saint. Even his current glorious position came from that person.
"Keming, I know I was wrong."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui felt relieved, "Your Majesty, just calm down."
Li Zhiyun adjusted his mood and asked, "You just said that things haven't gotten out of hand yet. What do you mean?" Gu
Du Ruhui analyzed: "The saint asked Li Yuan to lead the soldiers and horses of the Yunyang camp to support Shangzhou, which shows that there was a war in Shangzhou. Previously, the main direction of the court was to support the King of Qin in pacifying Li Gui of Xiliang, and the King of Qi stationed in Bingzhou and Huai'an
King Changping was stationed in Hebei. King Changping was stationed in Shangzhou. He originally planned to attack Zhu Can, but because Zhu Can had gathered 200,000 troops under his command, he temporarily guarded Shangzhou."
"Now, there are only two possibilities for the imperial court to mobilize troops to Shangzhou. One is that Zhu Can starts to attack Shangzhou, and the other is that King Changping prepares to take the initiative. Regardless of the reason, war will break out in Shangzhou. Originally, King Changping had already
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses, plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Yunyang camp, totaling 50,000 troops, this is definitely not a small fight."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "I understand all this, but will the soldiers and horses of the Yunyang camp be handed over to the prince like this?"
"Let?" Du Ruhui smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty, although Li Yuan is now in command of the Yunyang Army, it does not mean that he can control the Yunyang Army."
"But if King Changping defeats Zhu Can in Shangzhou, the prince will take the opportunity to make suggestions and let Li Yuan continue to command the Yunyang army."
"Can you win the fight?" Du Ruhui asked.
"Why fight..." Looking at Du Ruhui's eyes, Li Zhiyun seemed to understand something.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, who King Changping is, your Majesty and his subordinates know very well. His opponent, Zhu Can, has 200,000 troops. King Changping only got 50,000 troops from Yunyang Army. My subordinates heard that Zhu Can's
The soldiers had no food and relied on humans for food, and they were all crazy beasts. Although not all of Zhu Can's soldiers were wearing armor, they were no longer human. Facing the Tang army, they would definitely fight to the death. Although the Tang army was fully equipped, it was still facing twenty
With thousands of troops and horses, it is difficult to be even 100% sure of victory."
"To take a step back, even if they can win, they can't win."
"What do you mean?" Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that Duan Zhixuan and Xue Shou are still in the Yunyang Army. Your Majesty has been running the Yunyang Army for many years, and all the generals and subordinates have followed your Majesty's lead. Whatever your Majesty asks them to do, they will naturally do it. Li Yuan will do it in a short time
I can’t find that many people to replace him.”
At this point, Li Zhiyun understood everything. Then, he added: "If Duan Zhixuan is allowed to hold back in secret, King Changping will most likely be defeated. But I am worried that once King Changping is defeated, will the prince suggest anything?
Father, let Li Yuan guard Shangzhou. He even asked Li Yuan to delay his march and wait until King Changping was defeated before arriving in Shangzhou. At that time, the prince could naturally recommend Li Yuan to guard Shangzhou, and Li Yuan
There is also enough time to control the Yunyang army."
Du Ruhui shook his head with a smile and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Zhu Can is just a wild man. If he can defeat King Changping, he will definitely attack the pass. By then, the pass will be shaken. Even if the saint asks Li Yuan to defend Zhu Can, Duan Zhixuan and Xue
If he is included in the army, can he hold it?"
"And if he cannot hold it, Zhu Can threatens the pass, which will inevitably cause the people in the pass to become restless. At present, the King of Qin is conquering Xiliang, the King of Qi is guarding Bingzhou, and the King of Huai'an is far away in Xiangzhou. Among the other clan kings, who can compare with the king?
?At that time, the saint will take the king as his commander to resist Zhu Can."
"Besides, if Zhu Can doesn't attack, we can also use a trick secretly to tell him what's inside the pass and lure him to attack. Zhu Can has already conquered all the lands in Nanyang, and the richness in the pass is enough to attract him to fight to the death."
At this point, Li Zhiyun was completely relieved.
As long as the micro-management is done well, he can eventually go back and regain control of the Yunyang Army.
"No matter what, after this incident, the Yunyang Army will definitely be severely damaged." Li Zhiyun felt a little distressed.
Du Ruhui advised: "Your Majesty, although the Yunyang Army is a direct descendant of Jinyang, it has not experienced a major war since it invaded Chang'an. Pingshan South Road benefited from the power of Guanlong. The main force to destroy Xue Ju was the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin.
, the Yunyang Army has not fought a war for a long time. If they are defeated this time, it should be like a wake-up call to break up the arrogance of the Yunyang Army. Only by refining gold with fire can a magic weapon be produced."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "You are right."
Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui said: "Furthermore, if the saint takes the king as the commander, the king can replenish as many soldiers and horses as the Yunyang army loses. He can even take this opportunity to expand his troops."
Li Zhiyun paused slightly, crisis is crisis, danger is ahead, opportunity is behind.
"Hahaha, okay Keming, okay."
Hearing the king's hearty laughter, Du Ruhui also smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"I will write a letter to Duan Zhixuan right now, asking him to 'loyal' to Li Yuan." Li Zhiyun's tone was filled with murderous intent.
If you steal my toys, you must be prepared to pay the price.
