Three days later, Li Xian handed the blank certificate to Wu Neng, couldn't help but give a few instructions, and then watched Wu Neng leave.
"Haha, with Wu Neng's strong participation, I believe that Ming Chongyan's conspiracy will be exposed this time. All I have to do next is to wait for the good news." Although Li Xian also had a little worry in his heart, he also believed that,
With Wu Neng's skills, even if he is really exposed, it will be more than enough to protect himself.
At this time, the Ministry of War's text urging him to lead the army to the expedition had already been issued, and all preparations were already in place. Li Xian would quickly prepare for the expedition.
"Hey, it's been eight years. I didn't expect that I, Li Xian, would go to the battlefield again, and what I have to face this time is still the old opponent from eight years ago, Gar Qin Ling. It's just that last time I got rid of an enemy from a hand.
A symbolic figure of power obtained the commander-in-chief of an army by seizing power, but this time he was the commander of an army of 100,000 people, and it was the first time in his life that he served as the commander-in-chief. Old man, I don’t know if you have any new combat methods now.
?I am ready here, and I will definitely not disappoint you this time!" Li Xian looked in the direction of Tubo and said lightly.
Since he is about to lead his army away, there are still some things that need to be done, such as the arrangements for the affairs of the DPRK. Li Xian actually already knew that after he left this time, Empress Wu would take action against the Crown Prince Li Xian, but he
Apart from the routine reminder that Li Xian should be on guard against Empress Wu, there was nothing specific to say, because Li Xian could already see that Li Xian could not be protected when he was not around, even if he sacrificed all his power in the court.
There was no way he could keep it, because with the Li Jingxuan incident, Empress Wu was already deeply wary of the alliance between their brothers, and Li Xian's reputation was now at its peak. If he couldn't find a way to get rid of it, he would never have another chance in the future.
In fact, since the last time he went to war against Tubo, Empress Wu had already developed a strong fear of Li Xian, so after he returned to the court, he immediately killed too many people and removed Li Xian's military power on the pretext of killing prisoners.
, if this time it was not for the purpose of implementing the strategy of separating him from Li Xian in order to seize the opportunity to attack Li Xian, Empress Wu would never allow Li Xian to get involved in the military again. And even if Li Xian got involved in the military this time, Empress Wu had already
Most of the fruits of victory were given to Hei Te Changzhi, Cheng Wuting and others, but what Li Xian faced was a hard bone without any oil or water.
However, Li Xian was not disappointed at all. Because what he needs now is not a huge victory, but a reputation that can withstand the attack of Gar Qinling, and he hopes to win over more people through this battle.
military generals, especially his deputy general Wang Xiaojie!
This was another famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Although this man is not famous now, he later defeated Tubo many times and recovered the four towns in Anxi that were occupied by Tubo. He was a mainstay figure in the Tang Dynasty at that time.
Of course, although the current Wang Xiaojie was appointed as the deputy general manager of the Taohe Road March, he did not serve under Li Xian. Instead, he commanded 10,000 people who were marching from the Anxi Protectorate to Shancheng, so for Li Xian
, in fact, water from afar cannot quench thirst that is near.
But in addition to this, there is also a minister of the Ministry of Industry, General Liu Shenli, the inspector of Zuowei. Although this person holds the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is not attached to anyone. The reason why Empress Wu appointed him as deputy in the first place
Although the reason for the chief manager was that he had some knowledge of military affairs, in fact, the more important reason was to drive him out of the court and let him make room for his confidant. However, he did not expect that the coach would be replaced by Li Xian later, but Empress Wu originally
They didn't really believe that Li Xian would win, so they didn't change their minds and let Liu Shenli continue to follow Li Xian. After Li Xian was defeated, he would be asked to bear the responsibility for the defeat together.
Li Xian had always known that Liu Shenli was a filial man, an honest official, and he was also familiar with military affairs. Although he might not be qualified as a general, as a general performing tasks, there was no problem at all.
And the most important thing is that if you can win over this person, it will be equivalent to having another minister of the Ministry of Industry in your hands, which is a huge income.
Therefore, after Li Xian met Liu Shenli, he immediately visited his house, in the name of comforting his deputy's family. However, at this time, Li Xian "happened" to see that Liu Shenli's family was poor, so
Without further ado, he left 100,000 yuan as settlement expenses.
Liu Shenli naturally refused bitterly, but Li Xian said with a straight face: "It is not for the sake of peace for Liu Shangshu's family, but actually for the sake of peace of Liu Shang's heart. I lead the people to fight desperately on the front line. How can Xiao Wang let his family live?"
If you really feel sorry for living a miserable life, just pay it back to me after you have made meritorious service on the front line and been rewarded."
After what Li Xian had said, what reason did Liu Shenli have for refusing? So, he had no choice but to say thank you to Li Xian.
And then Li Xian issued an order. All soldiers who go to fight on the front line, as long as they are from poor families, will receive ten thousand yuan to settle down. Heroes fight on the front line. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he must at least ensure that the soldiers' homes are clean and tidy.
In addition to future troubles, Li Xian also specifically promised the soldiers that if any soldiers were seriously injured or killed on the front line, Li Xian would pay for them.
This series of actions by Li Xian immediately moved all the soldiers, and they secretly made up their minds that they would risk their lives and fight bravely on the battlefield this time to repay Li Xian's kindness.
Empress Wu in the palace became even more fearful when she heard that Li Xian was trying to win over people's hearts and enhance his reputation. However, since she was planning to deal with Li Xian, she could no longer spare the energy to deal with Li Xian, so she could only turn a blind eye.
Close one eye and let him do whatever he wants.
And Li Xian naturally knew Empress Wu's reaction. In fact, it was because he had a clear grasp of Empress Wu's thoughts that he unscrupulously bought people's hearts. He believed that as long as this happened, after Li Xian was deposed in the future, Empress Wu would
Even considering the mood of the generals and Li Xian's reputation, he had to be made the crown prince.
Of course, in addition to operating in the military, Li Xian also had to say goodbye to his princess Zhao Yinyue.
After the incident of the princess being imprisoned, Li Xian had already accepted Zhao Yinyue, and no longer cared about seniority ethics. He only remembered one thing now, Zhao Yinyue was his woman, and he regarded him as a god, so he would naturally reciprocate the favor.
, love this woman who has suffered so much for herself.
After learning the news, the only worry in Li Xian's heart disappeared completely, so he naturally loved Zhao Yinyue even more. Later, the two had the most intimate contact. Before Li Xian led his army to the expedition, Li Xian
He received unexpected good news from Zhao Yinyue. Zhao Yinyue was pregnant and he was going to be a father again.
Li Xian was naturally overjoyed when he got the news, but then another problem came before him, which made him very worried. This was the issue of selecting the prince of the palace.
In fact, Li Chongjun was originally Li Xian's eldest son, and in the many years after Li Chongjun was born, Li Xian did not have another son, so Li Chongjun was naturally made the crown prince. However, Li Chongjun was a commoner after all, and now his wife Zhao Yinyue is also pregnant.
If she gave birth to a son, he would be the legitimate son. According to the patriarchal relationship, the son she gave birth to would naturally be made the crown prince. However, this would indeed wrong her son Chong Jun and Yang Yushu, who had suffered all kinds of wrongs for his son over the years.
But before he could be depressed for a long time, Princess Zhao Yinyue came to the door and said that Chongjun's mother was from a famous family. She wanted Li Xian to guarantee that he would make Chongjun the prince. Although his son was the legitimate son, he was willing to give up the throne.
Give up and give Li Xian an idea to pursue Chongjun's "passed" mother as the princess. In this way, Chongjun's status will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Just when Li Xian had not yet made up his mind, Yang Yushu suddenly came to his study through the tunnel and firmly demanded that Li Xian abolish his son Chong Jun's position as heir apparent. Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He was originally worried that his two sons would
They fought for the throne and conflicted with each other, but later they were worried that the two sons would conflict with each other to give up the throne.
"Don't they all say that the Tian family is ruthless? Why is it that when I come to my place, the position of a heir apparent is abandoned like a dirty trick?" Li Xian couldn't help but smile more bitterly, and at the same time secretly praised the virtuousness and virtue of the two women.
In the end, Li Xian, who couldn't make a choice at all, had to decide to leave the matter alone and wait until the child was born. If Zhao Yinyue gave birth to a daughter in the future, wouldn't he not have to worry anymore?
After putting aside these things, Li Xian spent a good night with his wife. The two talked all night. At the end, the two excited people naturally hugged each other tightly and fought to death.
Lingering...
"Qilang, you must be careful and come back in one piece. I don't care whether you can become famous in the world or not, whether you can make great contributions or not. I hope you can come back safely. Your expedition this time is different from the past.
Yes, because at home, there is one person who is thinking about you, no, there are two people. We, mother and son, are looking forward to your return together..."
Zhao Yinyue's head nestled on Li Xian's broad chest, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. The tears gradually wet Li Xian's chest.
Li Xian gently stroked Zhao Yinyue's hair and said softly: "Don't worry, I will be able to come back safely, because I know that I have a home in distant Chang'an, and my wife and children are looking forward to my return.
At the same time, I also want the soldiers under my command to come back safely, because I know that their wives and children are just like you, eagerly looking forward to their return..." (To be continued.)
