"Si Zi, Si Zi…"
At the Royal Academy, Li Mingda, who had been staying there and rarely returned to the palace, heard his sister Li Lizhi's voice.
"Royal Sister." Li Mingda put down the book in his hand and smiled at Li Lizhi.
"Si Zi, do you know? Brother Six had done a great service in White Cloud City.”
"Really?" Li Mingda's eyes lit up when he heard that. He looked at Li Lizhi with surprise.
"It's true. At the court meeting today, Imperial Father said in court that he would give a reward.”Li Lizhi smiled.
"Then... Sixth Brother can come back?"
Looking at Li Mingda's expectant eyes, Li Lizhi was stunned and said,"I haven't heard of this. Moreover, it hasn't even been a year since Sixth Brother arrived.”
"Oh…" Li Mingda was filled with disappointment.
"Si Zi, don't be unhappy. You still have Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, and us.”Seeing Li Mingda's disappointed expression, Li Lizhi's heart ached and she quickly comforted him.
"Royal Sister, thank you."
"Hehe, what are you thanking me for? We're sisters.”Li Lizhi smiled. Then, she thought of something and said,"Oh right, mother said that you haven't returned to the palace for a long time. Let's go, you must accompany mother for a meal when you return to the palace with royal sister today.”
"Alright, Royal Sister, wait a moment. I'll pack up.”
"Yes, hurry up."
……
The news from Chang 'an soon reached the White Cloud City of Youzhou.
White Cloud City, King Jing's mansion, Li Lin, who was holding a secret report, smiled and said to Zhang Zhao and Fa Zheng,""It seems that His Majesty is prepared to see the secrets of the North Manor Army.”
"I have already thought of this. Young Master has also made arrangements. I believe that when the Duke of Lu leaves, he will probably have a sad expression, right?”Zhang Zhao said with a smile.
"Not necessarily. Perhaps the Prince of Yan is the one who is the most worried.”Fa Zheng said.
"Xiao Zhi is right. Li Yi will probably be the one who will be the most worried after receiving the news. Hou Junji was no ordinary person. He had become the Jingzhou General Manager and brought 100,000 Left Guards with him. He was a sharp sword hanging over Li Yi's head!”
Li Lin nodded and handed the secret report to Fa Zheng.
"Make a copy of Hou Junji's story and give it to Li Yi's men.”
"Here."
……
Youzhou Governor's Office.
After receiving the secret report from White Cloud City, Li Yi's expression was extremely ugly.
The candidate for the Jingzhou Supervisor had always been his focus.
Now, the Jingzhou manager was finally certain. Hou Junji, Duke of Lu and General of Left Wei, was once a general of King Qin's Mansion.
Li Shi Min was definitely a hardcore person.
He was also a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. The 100,000 left guards under him were also the elite army of the imperial court.
As a former confidant of the Hidden Crown Prince, how could he not panic and worry when faced with the hundred thousand Left Guards who had to go around Youzhou to Jingzhou?
"Your Highness!" Gu Lun and Zheng Fu came in.
"Sit!"
"Father." The two of them had just sat down when Luo Cheng, who had gone out to train, returned.
"Sit down and take a look at this secret letter from White Cloud City.”
The few of them received the secret letter and after reading it, they all fell into silence.
Not only did the letter mention Hou Junji's succession to Jingzhou's governor, but it also stated that he would lead the 100,000 Left Guards to Youzhou.
Moreover, they would set off in three days.
If the army marched normally, they would cover more than two hundred li in a day.
They could even move hundreds of miles in a day.
Chang 'an, the Divine Capital, was only a few days away from Youzhou.
"Father, what does King Jing mean?”After Luo Cheng finished reading, he looked at Li Yi and asked.
Previously, it was only because King Jing was well-informed that the two sides could be considered to be in the same boat.
Now, with the thirty thousand North Manor Army and the battle merits of easily slaying seventy-five thousand Turkic elites, Li Yi and the others had no choice but to place King Jing in a more important position.
After all, the military strength of White Cloud City was not weak.
It was said that after a great battle, only a few hundred soldiers died.
Could the Heaven Festival Army do it?
Obviously not. With the 30,000 Sky Festival Troops and the Battle Formation Troop, they would lose at least half of the elites of the Yellow Marten Tribe.
100,000 Heavenly Festival Troops would probably lose more than 10,000.
However, the North Mansion Army had 30,000 soldiers. Only a few hundred of them had died, but they had killed more than 70,000 grassland elites. They really wanted to know how King Jing trained his soldiers.
"King Jing only sent someone to pass the secret letter to our people in White Cloud City. He didn't say anything.”Li Yi shook his head.
"King Jing naturally wouldn't say anything.”Gu Lun spoke up," To put it bluntly, we only exchanged information with King Jing. When the Yellow Marten Tribe invaded the south, we only sent a message over. We didn't send a single soldier.”
"Now, King Jing has also sent a message to return the favor.”
"Your Highness, we have to make the decision ourselves. It is impossible to rely on King Jing. No matter what, he was still the emperor's son.”
"Lord Gu is right." "Your Highness, perhaps we should make some preparations." Even if it wasn't to rebel, just to protect themselves, they had to order the Tianjie Army to gather and not disperse.”
" When the time comes, the Heaven's Festival Troop will be able to react quickly if anything happens. They won't be completely helpless!”
After sweeping his gaze over the two of them, Li Yi pondered for a few breaths and nodded."Alright, we'll do as you say. Cheng 'er, order the Tianjie Army to guard the four cities and pay attention to the movements inside and outside.”
"Yes, your son will obey your orders!"
……
Three days later, at the north gate of Chang 'an, the Duke of Lu and the General of the Left Guards, Hou Junji, led the army and set off.
There were also several carriages accompanying them.
The carriage was not carrying any military supplies, but a reward for White Cloud City.
After the army left, all kinds of news were sent out from Chang 'an to various places.
Duke Hu's Mansion.
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde were drinking together.
"Hou Junji has gone to the north with one hundred thousand Left Guards. Big Brother Qin, what do you think?”said Yuchi Jingde.
"What do you think? There was no need to look. His Majesty has his own plans for this matter, and it has nothing to do with us.”Qin Qiong took a sip of wine and said with a cold face.
"Cough cough, Yuchi Heizi, we're here to drink, not to discuss state affairs. Drink, drink, don't say anything to dampen our spirits.”Cheng Yaojin grabbed Yuchi Jingde, who still wanted to say something. He picked up his wine cup, clinked it with his, and then drank it in one gulp.
"But that's still an army of one hundred thousand, and the men who died were all men of the Great Tang.”But Yuchi Jingde did not agree and said to Qin Qiong.
"Jing De, Duke Lu is going to reward the army.”Qin Qiong sighed and put down his wine cup.
"But…"
"The imperial edict says that we are going to reward the army, so we are going to reward the army!”
Looking at Qin Qiong's solemn appearance, Yuchi Jingde nodded heavily, picked up his wine cup, and downed it in one gulp.
