Li Zhiyun's defeat of Sun Hua's rebel army made Li Yuan feel uneasy, and he began to plan for an uprising even more nervously.
Chang 'an Fortress also became depressed.
Especially after Li Zhiyun defeated Sun Hua, he did not report any victory. Instead, he buried his head in Heyang, dividing the fields and training his troops.
The air in the Imperial City had been very oppressive these few days.
The eunuchs, maids, and guards were all very careful.
Taiji Palace.
Yang You turned around uneasily, and suddenly stopped at a certain moment. He asked the Underworld Master who was standing not far away with his head lowered,""Master Yin, what is Li Zhiyun trying to do?”
"I'm afraid they have ill intentions. The Li family cannot be trusted.”The Underworld Master said sinisterly with a solemn expression.
Yang You frowned, still in disbelief. He said,""Madam Wan is still in the palace. Does Li Zhiyun not care about his mother's safety? Would Li Zhiyun be accepted by the traitor Li Yuan?”
"Your Highness, Li Zhiyun has 50,000 soldiers in his hands. Although these 50,000 soldiers are not elites, they have fought alongside Sun Hua and have seen blood.”
The Underworld Master reminded him in a heavy voice,"If I were Li Yuan, I would start to consider, at least facing up to Li Zhiyun's power. With Li Zhiyun's power, the pass would be like taking something out of a pocket.”
"As for the Wan family, a woman is a great person. What is a woman?”
The last sentence was said even more heavily by the Underworld Master, like a thunderclap exploding in Yang You's ears.
Yang You's face was pale. If one observed carefully, one would notice that Yang You's body swayed a few times.
"However, Your Highness need not be overly worried. This old official is not worried that this child will join forces with Li Yuan.”"I'm worried that this kid's ambition will be even greater!”
Yang You suddenly understood the words of the Underworld Master.
However, he did not believe that Li Zhiyun wanted to be independent.
It was impossible.
Even if Li Zhiyun had 50,000 soldiers, he did not have the foundation to stand on his own.
Yang You waved his hand and said," Master Yin, Li Zhiyun does not have the conditions to be independent. His break with Li Yuan has already spread throughout the world. The slogan he shouted was to be loyal to the country. This is his foundation. If he dares to rebel against the Sui Dynasty now, he will be a two-faced villain and be despised by the world. At that time, those bandits will first deal with him in the name of being a loyal minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, especially Li Yuan.”
Yang You muttered to himself. When he said this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He suddenly realized that Li Zhiyun couldn't leave him and Great Sui!
"Master Yin also said that the Guanzhong clan is no longer trustworthy. Without the power of Great Sui, can Li Zhiyun suppress the Guanzhong clan? Dou Wei had just entered the palace to sue Li Zhiyun for embezzling the fields of the aristocratic families in Heyang. He had already become enemies with the influential families in Guanzhong.”
"Once he loses the title of Great Sui, the Guanzhong families will definitely unite with Li Yuan or others to destroy him.”
Following the train of thought that suddenly appeared, the more Yang You analyzed, the more he felt that it was impossible for Li Zhiyun to directly rebel against the Sui Dynasty.
The Underworld Master was stunned for a moment. He had not thought of this.
He looked at the acting king in surprise and thought,"'No wonder His Majesty likes this grandson of the Dai King's, even more than his sons.'
" Your Highness 'analysis is that this man is a loyal minister of the Great Sui Dynasty. Once he personally rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, he would be cutting himself off from the world. However, we must also prevent him from joining forces with Li Yuan. Once Li Yuan attacks Guanzhong, as long as he approaches Chang' an and does not move, all our troops will be restrained by him. This will definitely help Li Yuan from the side, and he can barely maintain his reputation.”
"The possibility of this is actually very low. Li Zhiyun is a smart person. He won't be unable to tell.”Yang You said.
After a pause, he changed the topic and said,"But we have to be on guard. We can do what we discussed before, Master Yin. Let Li Zhiyun lead the army to attack Li Xiu Ning in Yu County. I want to sharpen his knife and use it well!”
"Your Highness is wise. If this saber is used well, it will become the sharpest weapon against the Li family!”The Underworld Master laughed coldly.
He felt that Yang You had the potential to become a wise ruler.
It was not impossible to assist Yang You and restore the glory of Great Sui.
In the eyes of Yang You and the Underworld Master.
Just like how Yu Wenshu had treated Yang Jian.
Yang Jian had used Yu Wenshu's blade to almost exterminate the Northern Zhou royal family's Yuwen family!
……
A day later, Li Zhiyun received Yang You's order.
At this time, Li Zhiyun was on the military training ground. He passed Yang You's order to his uncle, Wan Xuandao.
After Wan Xuandao saw it, he snorted and said in a low voice,"Yang You still doesn't believe you. He wants to use you to destroy Third Miss 'power and make you stand against the Li family.”
"It's fine. It's impossible for us to return to the Li family.”Li Zhiyun said indifferently.
Wan Xuandao saw Li Zhiyun frowning and asked in confusion,""Then why are you hesitating?"
"I'm thinking, should we show off our strength, show off our muscles, so that Yang You doesn't think that our blades can be kneaded at will.”
"We are still very weak. Let Yang You be alert now, okay?”Wan Xuandao was shocked.
Li Zhiyun was silent for a long time before he said," My third sister is not easy to get along with. She is a hero among women. From the report Yang You gave us, she has gathered 50,000 troops, which is equal to ours. Although most of her troops are new recruits, don't forget that she has been in Yu County, which the Li family has been managing for many years. This is very disadvantageous to us.”
"Look at our soldiers. There are only about 10,000 of them wearing armor. We can't take any wrong steps now. I'm showing my strength because I want to get some war resources from Yang You to arm our army.”
At this point, Li Zhiyun's expression was firm and decisive. He immediately ordered,"Order the battalions to lead the troops to Chang 'an!"
