Chapter 41 What is a good nephew of the Tang Dynasty
Zhu Can was defeated all the way and fled to Xiangcheng, where he was surrounded by the Tang Army.
"Fifth brother, let me attack the city, and I will capture Zhu Can alive for you!" Li Daoxuan's face was full of excitement. He fought happily in this battle. He followed the cavalry to fight back and forth without a shadow. He was quite like Zhao Zilong from Shijiazhuang in Changban.
Po's heroic spirit of seven in and seven out.
Of course, the two situations are incomparable.
Torches are like wild growing weeds, lighting up the dark night sky.
Li Zhiyun squinted at Xiang Cheng, as if he could pass through the cold city wall and see Zhu Can shivering hiding inside.
"There's no rush."
"Not in a hurry?" Li Daoxuan asked in confusion: "Why? Capturing Zhu Can alive is a great achievement."
Nonsense, of course Li Zhiyun knew that capturing Zhu Can alive was a great achievement.
But isn't his contribution great enough?
He saved King Changping and annihilated Zhu Can. He was the number one hero in this battle. No one can doubt this. Therefore, he did not need to capture Zhu Can.
"Zhu Can is now trapped and fighting to the death. If we attack by force, our army will suffer a lot of damage. Moreover, the soldiers have fought fiercely for a day and pursued for several miles. The men and horses are tired. In addition, it is getting late and it is not appropriate to attack by force. Let the soldiers rest for a day and tomorrow
Attack again."
Li Daoxuan thought for a while and felt that what Li Zhiyun said was right, so he did not continue to ask for a fight.
"Generals, obey the order!" Li Zhiyun ordered.
"exist!"
"I'll trap Zhu Can to death for this king!"
"As you command!"
Li Zhiyun ordered the camp to be set up on the spot and took the generals back to the camp to rest.
Returning to the Chinese army's tent, Li Zhiyun and the generals discussed matters for a while, and then dismissed everyone.
Leaning on the table, Li Zhiyun rubbed his eyebrows to relieve fatigue.
It has been more than half a month since he entered Nanyang, and his heart strings have been very tight during this period. Now that Zhu Can is unable to escape, he can relax a little temporarily.
It is one thing to look down on Zhu Can, but this does not mean that Li Zhiyun will be careless and underestimate him.
Not long after, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou walked into the big tent.
Du Ruhui held the meal in his hand and placed it in front of Li Zhiyun.
"In today's battle, your Majesty will take the lead and kill the enemy with all his might. Your physical strength must be greatly exhausted. Please eat quickly."
Li Zhiyun smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up his job, and said, "I'm not taking the lead, I'm just showing off."
"Your Majesty, please do not be humble." Xue Fang said with a smile, "How can we defeat Zhu Can without Your Majesty taking command?"
Li Zhiyun smiled and lowered his head to eat.
The food in the army has always been simple, simple and simple. Li Zhiyun has always set an example. He eats what ordinary soldiers eat, so there are no special dishes.
It tastes really bad.
After Li Zhiyun finished eating and drank a cup of tea, Du Ruhui asked: "Your Highness did not pursue the victory and capture Zhu Can. What are your plans?"
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun wiped his lips and said with a smile, "Ke Ming knows me."
Du Ruhui smiled modestly, "May I ask what your Majesty's plans are?"
Li Daoxuan's rhetoric was naturally an excuse. If Li Zhiyun wanted to win Zhu Can in one go, it would not be a problem.
But he had other plans.
"I have received news that Nanyang is out of trouble, and King Changping is on his way."
Having said this, Xue Shou and Du Ruhui basically understood.
"I have forgotten about King Changping. Zhu Can attacks the king with all his strength. It is expected that King Changping escapes from Nanyang." Xue Shou said: "Is the king planning to hand over Zhu Can to King Changping to capture him?"
"What do you think?" Gu
Du Ruhui and Xue Shou fell into thinking. After a while, Xue Shou said: "King Changping is indeed important in the clan, and he is trusted by the saints. His subordinates think it is feasible."
"I also think it is feasible." Du Ruhui affirmed at first, then reminded: "However, Your Highness, I think it is not appropriate for Your Highness to get too close to King Changping at this time."
Li Zhiyun nodded, "I have also considered this. At present, I have no idea of marrying Prince Changping."
If he hadn't valued him as an important member of the clan, Li Zhiyun would never have spent any thought on him. It would be better to keep a certain distance from such a Wolong.
Xue Shou said: "Your Highness will not get close to King Changping, but you can make use of him."
Li Zhiyun said nothing, looked at Xue Shou with a smile, and motioned for him to continue speaking.
Xue Shou continued: "If King Changping captures Zhu Can, then the saint can exonerate him... This can be regarded as meritorious service. If Nanyang is defeated, the saint will have to find someone else to shoulder the responsibility.
responsibility."
Du Ruhui said: "The only ones who can bear the responsibility are King Lujiang and Zheng Yuanxuan. No matter which one of them takes the responsibility, the prince will not have an easy time this time."
"That's absolutely true." Xue Shou smiled.
Bang bang bang!
Li Zhiyun applauded them and said with a smile: "We thought of going together. This time King Changping escaped from trouble, I have to talk to him about the reason for the failure."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Hurrying slowly, Li Shuliang finally came to Xiangcheng from Nanyang. After he heard that Zhu Can was defeated, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately rushed to Xiangcheng with his people.
Although he has no brains, he still understands the reality of defeat. If he returns to Chang'an in such a dejected manner, the saint will definitely blame him.
In order to stop the loss, the only thing he could do was to capture Zhu Can with the King of Chu. In this way, he would have an excuse to quibble when he returned.
When they arrived at the King of Chu's camp, it was getting daylight. Li Shuliang originally thought that Li Zhiyun had been fighting fiercely for the past few days and should have rested long ago, but he did not expect that Li Zhiyun heard that he was coming and immediately came out to greet him in person.
"Uncle Emperor, are you okay?"
Li Zhiyun received Li Shuliang, hugged him hard at first, then let go of him and looked him up and down, as if he was afraid he was hurt.
Such a nervous look fell in Li Shuliang's eyes, but he was very moved.
"Zhiyun, I'm fine."
"How could it be okay?" Li Zhiyun was furious. "I know very well how cruel Zhu Can is. The emperor's uncle must have suffered a lot these days."
Li Shuliang blushed and said with shame: "It's my fault for being careless and underestimating the enemy, otherwise I would never have been like this."
Li Zhiyun immediately said, "Why do you feel guilty, uncle? You did not do anything wrong with your surprise attack. You just failed to cooperate well with King Lujiang. This was just a mistake. I believe that my father can understand the difficulties of the emperor."
What does it mean to be a good nephew of the Tang Dynasty? This is it!
After listening to Li Zhiyun's words, Uncle Li felt warm in his heart, thinking that this nephew is really good, with a good personality, a good temper, and a nice voice.
At the same time, he also felt that Li Zhiyun's words touched his heart. If Li Yuan, that loser, could cooperate with him in time to attack Zhu Can, why would he be besieged in Nanyang by Zhu Can, a rogue bandit.
"Thank you Zhiyun for the explanation."
"Uncle Emperor, you are here in a hurry, follow me to the tent and rest quickly." Li Zhiyun looked at Du Ruhui, "Go and ask Huotou Camp to cook some food and deliver it."
"As commanded."
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun apologized to Li Shuliang, "Uncle, drinking is prohibited in the army. Please forgive me for not entertaining my nephew with wine."
move!
Li Shuliang was truly moved, and the nephew really had nothing to say. He had lost the battle, but the nephew could still respect him so much and defend him in every way. There was nothing to say!
"Military discipline cannot be broken. You did the right thing."
When the uncle and nephew walked into the tent, Li Shuliang discovered that Li Zhiyun had actually run out without wearing shoes in order to greet him.
Li Zhiyun was putting on his shoes at the side, and when he noticed Li Shuliang's gaze, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I've been too tired these past few days. My men took off my armor while I was asleep."
Li Shuliang said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you are tired."
