"The Third Prince has conquered Rome and returned to the capital in triumph. I'm afraid the situation of the two dragons of Luoyang fighting for the throne will be broken.”
Li Jing, Duke of Wei, pondered over Li Yuan's intentions and sighed inwardly.
"I've long heard that King Reliance is a genius, invincible. In three years, he's been expanding the Great Tang for thousands of kilometers. I finally get to see his glory…"
Li Shiji, the British Duke, stroked his short beard, a hint of fascination flashing in his eyes.
"Back then, I once advised Imperial Father to recall Li Xuanlie and kill him to prevent future troubles. Imperial Father didn't listen, but now he wants to recall him and put him in an important position. If that brat returns, it would be strange if I could have a good life…"
King Qi Li Yuanji's brows were deeply furrowed, his expression grave.
The courtiers and princes all had their own thoughts.
Hanyuan Palace's reward soon spread out from the palace, causing a commotion in Luoyang.
Li Xuanlie had become the center of attention overnight.
…
Prince Jin's mansion.
A group of blonde, blue-eyed foreign slave dancers were dancing.
At this moment, Li Jiancheng had a lot on his mind. He was not interested in the graceful dance of the foreign slave in front of him.
"His Highness the King of Qin has arrived ~~"
Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up and he personally went down to welcome him. He chuckled and said,"Erlang is here. Men, take a seat and serve tea.”
After three years, the two brothers finally sat together again.
"May I know why Imperial Brother summoned this foolish younger brother?”
Li Shi Min cupped his hands in greeting, his attitude calm.
Li Jiancheng waved his hand and dismissed all the foreign slaves and maids.
Only the two brothers were left in the hall.
"Third Brother is coming back soon. Erlang, aren't you worried at all?" Li Jiancheng asked.”
"Why should I be worried?"
Li Shi Min slowly sipped his tea, his eyes flickering.
Li Jiancheng frowned and said,"There's no need to play dumb between us. I'll see you at Kaimen Mountain."
This third brother of ours is extremely talented, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and his abilities are far above ours.
He had so many generals under him, Liu Bowen, Yue Fei, which one of them wasn't a genius of the current era. His 70,000 Black Flag Army was also a veteran army.
He single-handedly established the empire of the Great Tang, and he also single-handedly conquered the ten thousand li of Persia and Rome. Your and my contributions combined are not even half of his.
Now that his father has conferred him the title of King Reliance and made him the head of the civil and military officials, he has even been summoned back to the capital. If he really comes back, will the position of Crown Prince still be ours?”
The more Li Jiancheng spoke, the more excited he became. His voice was hoarse.
"He is just an adopted son and not father's biological son. So what if he has made great contributions?”
Li Shi Min's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but his expression was no longer calm.
"The human heart is unpredictable. Who can guarantee that he won't have ambitions?
Possessing the power to rebel was his greatest sin!”
Li Jiancheng's face turned red. He almost shouted the last sentence.
Crack!
The teacup in Li Shi Min's hand was crushed.
When he raised his head again, there was only cold killing intent left in his eyes.
"A man is innocent, but he is guilty of holding a treasure!
Royal brother is right, we can't let outsiders touch our Li family's territory.
Father is muddle-headed, but you and I brothers cannot be muddle-headed!”
Li Shi Min's words were like knives, expressing his attitude.
Li Jiancheng was relieved of a burden and smiled happily."Alright, let's put aside our differences and work together. We can't let Li Xuanlie return to Luoyang alive!”
…
Apennine Peninsula, Rome.
The battle flag covered the sky.
100,000 Roman legions were lined up in the south of Rome. Hundreds of square formations of various sizes were like moving fortresses as they slowly advanced south.
Constantinople had fallen, and the Tang army from the east had pushed the powerful Roman Empire to the brink of destruction.
The Roman Emperor Caesar had no choice but to gather his last 100,000 troops to fight the Tang army in Rome.
This was a battle of life and death.
The horn sounded, and the wild dust that soared into the sky rolled over from the southern plains.
In the blink of an eye, a black flood rose from the horizon and crashed into the Roman soldiers 'field of vision.
The Eastern Army Corps in black armor appeared majestically as if they had come from hell.
A black dragon flag fluttered in the morning light.
The Roman soldiers all gasped and tensed up.
Wherever the black flag went, countless Roman soldiers were crushed and countless Roman cities were flattened.
The black flag was the symbol of death.
"Li Xuanlie, you really only brought 30,000 soldiers and dared to attack my capital.
Today, I, Caesar, will exterminate you, Satan from the East, right before the great city of Rome!”
The Roman Emperor Caesar's eyes were filled with pride mixed with sarcasm.
He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the Tang army.
Caesar took a deep breath and shouted proudly,"" Warriors of Rome, God is with us. Chase the demons of the east back to hell and attack-"
Wuwuwu ~~
The horn sounded.
The 100,000 Roman soldiers roared crazily and formed countless tortoiseshell formations to attack the Tang army.
Three hundred steps away.
Under the black dragon flag, the youth in black armor held his halberd and rode on his horse. His handsome face was burning with coldness and dominance.
" Three years of bloody battles, we've finally reached Rome…"
Li Xuanlie sighed softly, feeling as if everything had happened yesterday.
He was originally a young man from the later generations, but he traveled back to the end of the Sui Dynasty and became Li Yuan's adopted son.
Li Yuan treated him like his own son, and the fatherly love he gave him was not inferior to his own sons.
Li Xuanlie had also lived up to Li Yuan's kindness in raising him, and he had made a great contribution to the founding of the Great Tang.
However, the experience of two lifetimes allowed him to have a vision that surpassed this era.
The great Han civilization should not be satisfied with just a corner of the East. It should enjoy a wider territory and let the entire world bathe in its glory.
That was why he gave Li Yuan the world map and led the 70,000 Black Flag Army on the road to the west.
Persia, one of the Three Great Empires, had already been incorporated into the Great Tang.
Now, as long as they took down this city, the Roman Empire would be annihilated.
From now on, the three empires would only have one name:
The Great Tang!
Li Xuanlie was only one step away from fulfilling his ambition.
"Bowen, your plan succeeded. That Kaiser really thought that I only brought thirty thousand soldiers and left the city for the decisive battle.”
Li Xuanlie returned to reality and glanced approvingly at the strategist who was waving his feather fan.
Liu Bowen!
The wise man who should have appeared in the Ming Dynasty in the future, known as the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, was born ahead of time and became his adviser.
This was Li Xuanlie's unknown ability.
Since he was seven years old, he had been bound to the Yama System.
This system had the authority of the Yama of the Yang Realm. Not only could it allow him to obtain the talent of a deceased hero, but it could also allow future heroes to be born ahead of time.
"This is a risky move. Only Your Highness has the courage to use it.”
Liu Bowen smiled and cupped his hands. He looked at Li Xuanlie with deep respect.
The horn sounded.
In the front, the Roman army moved and began to attack.
Killing intent burned in Li Xuanlie's eyes as he shouted,"Yue Fei, listen up!"
"I'm here!"
A young general stepped forward with his spear in hand.
Li Xuanlie pointed at the enemy formation and shouted,"I order you to lead the Back Wei Camp and attack the enemy's left flank. Let the Roman barbarians witness the might of the Great Tang's cavalry!”
