[Character Introduction: Hello everyone, I am Li Hongji. He didn't know if everyone still had an impression of this name. After all, it had been dead for some time. En, I didn't have much interaction with Qingqian. The main thing was that I didn't like her yet, so I left. Then, as for the choice of setting and story, let's go back to the year when I was seventeen, the battle between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Shu Kingdom.
Alright, let's cut the crap and get on the scene.」
"Imperial Father, your son requests to fight." I heard the voices of peace in the court. The compromise made me very uncomfortable. In the end, I still stood up and spoke my mind. I had never heard of a country that could be safe from foreign invasion by simply making peace. In my opinion, only true strength could make one the strongest in this world. It was not that I wanted to fight, it was that if I didn't fight, there would only be destruction.
I don't believe that my wise father doesn't understand this simple logic. However, he only wants to make peace and live in a corner, allowing the powerful Later Zhou Dynasty to covet the Southern Tang Dynasty. I know the bravery of the Later Zhou Dynasty's generals and I understand my father's helplessness in submitting to him. However, our opponent this time is only the Shu Kingdom!
The Shu Kingdom was far from the Southern Tang in terms of wealth. Moreover, we had the right time, the right place, and the right people. How could we not start such a war? However, my wish was met with opposition from the court. I frowned. Was he so comfortable that he had forgotten to be vigilant in times of peace and to raise a tiger to invite trouble?
"Ji 'er, have you really thought it through?”I have really thought it through. I know the danger of the battlefield, but I believe in my own strength. I can still take care of a mere Shu.
"Alright then." Imperial Father nodded. My face was filled with excitement, but I ignored the trace of unhappiness in the corner of his eyes.
I know that my Imperial Father has never valued me, but I don't know why he did not value me. Only when I was in Longxi did I know how little he cared about me.
He only gave me less than three thousand soldiers. With such an army, not to mention victory, it was not easy to protect myself at that time. However, I was unwilling to retreat. I knew that this was a trap set by my father. He hoped that I would retreat in the face of difficulties.
However, I didn't want to go along with his wishes. I felt that even if I were to die, I would die on the battlefield. The honor of a soldier was to be wrapped in a horse's leather. Dying on the battlefield was also a good choice. Fortunately, the 3,000 remaining soldiers had the same idea. Thus, I led them and fought guerrilla warfare, slowly weakening the troops of the Later Shu.
However, this was a battle of great disparity in strength, so I lost. In the end, I was surrounded by the troops of the Later Shu. I knew that I was finished. Just as I was prepared to sacrifice my life for justice, I saw a person with a small group of people squeeze in.
I know that person, my aunt, Southern Tang's number one female general, Li Jixue.
"Hong 'er, let's go." My aunt ignored my insistence and led her men of sacrifice to open up a bloody path for me, bringing me back to Southern Tang.
The first thing I did when I returned to the imperial court was to ask for forgiveness, but Imperial Father didn't blame me at all. Perhaps he just wanted to give me a warning, warning me not to have such improper thoughts of asking for battle in the future. Or perhaps he hoped that his eldest son would die in the battlefield and never return.
"Because in his heart, I was too tough and didn't have the appearance of a king at all. I also knew this, but I wasn't willing to make any changes for this position. Thus, in the end, I still lost.
" I lost. Although I became the Lord of Southern Tang, I was powerless to change the course of history. I finally understood that Southern Tang would become history.
