"My lord has the Northern Liang Steel Cavalry, you don't have to worry.”Sima Yi said.
" No," Cao Cao denied." The Beiliang army can allow you to settle down in Chang 'an, but it's as difficult as ascending to the heavens to defeat Tubo!"”
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said,"I am willing to be the vanguard to meet the Tibetan army!"”
"This general requests to fight!"
Huo Qubing and Meng Yi requested to fight.
The generals present were all famous figures in history, and they were all peerless generals when the war started.
But according to the intelligence reports, the Tibetans had gathered two hundred thousand soldiers and were planning to retaliate against the Great Tang. This was an all-out war.
The Tubo army had lost 150,000 people previously, and now they were making a comeback. They were really forcing Li Rui to destroy the Tubo army!
Gao Lishi reported this matter to Li Longji, and the next day, all the officials knew about it.
Li Longji sat at the head of the table and asked angrily,""Right Prime Minister, is this the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people that you report to me every day?”
"The Tibetans are ambitious. They must be jealous of the prosperity of our Great Tang and want to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy our territory!”Lin Jiulang was terrified.
Ever since Li Rui's rise, Lin Jiulang's days had become more and more difficult. He could faintly feel that the Sage didn't trust him.
Li Longji snorted coldly." The Tubo army has secretly gathered and will invade our Tang Empire in three days. Rui 'er turned the tide yesterday and killed more than a hundred Turkic spies!”
"Saints and a hundred-some Turks.”Gao Lishi reminded.
Li Longji was even angrier." Yes, and this Turkic is still harboring evil intentions. Summon my son Li Rui into the palace!"”
Now that Li Longji's favorite Consort Wu Hui was dead, and Yang Yuhuan had been intercepted by Li Rui, Li Longji had not indulged in women recently and was in charge of the government, causing the atmosphere of the court to change.
When the Tibetans came to invade, everyone thought of the Little Demon King.
In private, there were already people who addressed Li Rui as…Little Taizong!
This form of address was filled with praise, but it also had malicious intentions.
Li Rui was summoned to the palace early in the morning, but he didn't come in defiance of the imperial edict. He slept too late last night and only got up in the morning.
The furious Li Longji changed his clothes and personally came to the Prince Liang's residence, scaring Cao Cao and the others. The Sage actually came personally.
The Golden Guards opened the way and arrived at the Prince Liang's estate. Zhao Yun stood in front of the door with a spear in her hand and said in a serious voice,""Greetings, Sage. The Sage, Gao Lishi, and General Chen Xuanli can enter, but the Golden Guards cannot!”
"Impudent!" Chen Xuanli was shocked and furious.
"The Golden Guards can't leave the Sage's side. General Zhao, are you overthinking things?" Gao Lishi asked.”
Zhao Yun didn't trust the Golden Guards. Earlier, when the Right Xiao Guard ambushed Li Rui, it had already sounded the alarm for Huo Qubing and the others. The battle in the palace was extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.
Five hundred Northern Liang elites were in the mansion. They all raised their left hands and could shoot out in the next moment.
Li Longji was extremely conceited." How could my Tang soldiers hurt me? Golden Guards, stand by."”
Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli hurriedly followed him inside. The Northern Liang Army was on both sides, and their bodies were filled with a murderous aura.
The more Li Longji looked at them, the more he liked them. He thought that the soldiers should have such a murderous aura, and they should be like wolves and tigers instead of flattery and obedience.
Gao Lishi's eyelids twitched. Chen Xuanli knew how terrifying the Northern Liang Army was. If an accident happened, no one would be able to stop this group of ferocious soldiers.
Li Rui had just woken up. He washed his face and said lazily,""Why is it so noisy outside?"
"The Sage has arrived." Meng Yi reminded.
"Rui 'er, why aren't you going to the court meeting today?" Li Longji asked sternly at the door.”
"I was busy killing the Tibetan spies last night and didn't sleep until dawn. Who has the time to attend the court meeting?”Li Rui said confidently.
Li Longji was so angry that he was speechless. He felt that it made sense!
"It's the greatest honor in the world to be summoned by a saint, Prince Liang…" Gao Lishi smiled obsequiously.
"Don't nag me. If you have something to say, just say it!”Li Rui interrupted.
The corner of Chen Xuanli's mouth twitched slightly. He looked deeply at Gao Lishi, as if he had long known that it was better to speak less in front of the Prince of Liang. Otherwise, he would have to swallow his own grievances.
Li Longji sat on the high seat and asked,""You want to know about the Tubo conspiracy the most. Zhen came over to hear your thoughts.”
"Don't even think about it. The Great Tang has eight military governors, and the world is divided into ten provinces, such as Hebei Province, Longyou Province, and so on. The Great Tang has forty million people, and there are many who can resist Tubo!”
Li Rui refused to fight.
Li Longji stared at him and said," You are the prince of the Tang Empire. The Northern Liang cavalry under your command is everywhere. You have such elite soldiers, yet you refuse to fight?"”
"My Northern Liang Army has more than 20,000 people, and you want me to resist the Tibetan army of 200,000?”
Li Rui laughed in anger. This old man was getting more and more muddle-headed!
The father and son stared at each other, but Chen Xuanli didn't look away, as if he hadn't heard anything.
After a long time.
Li Rui said decisively,"The eight military governors have their own troops. If we don't let them send out their troops, when will we?!"”
"The protectorates and provincial governors are responsible for the border defense and protect the safety of the region.”Li Longji refused.
Then, Li Longji reminded him,"They are now the ten provincial governors!"”
