Chapter 485: King Wei rebels
The holy decree this time was concise and clear, convicting Fan Yang Cui of the crime of rebellion, ordering Li Hao to capture all the Cui clansmen and escort Chang'an, if there is resistance, first cut and then play, all the property of Fan Yang Cui will be confiscated and sealed into the Youzhou treasury, and after the inventory is completed, the governor of Youzhou will send someone to escort Chang'an. Li Taiwei, the king of Wei, was convicted of rebellion, and ordered Li Hao to arrest him and escort him to Chang'an pending trial.
It's a pity, this holy decree came a little late, otherwise Li Hao would have uprooted the Cui clan a long time ago, as for Li Tai, he is just a chess piece, and it will be easy to take him down.
This time, the person in charge of the decree is a team of Jin Wuwei, led by Li Zhen, the general of the right Jin Wuwei, who is only eighteen years old this year, and became the general of the right Jin Wuwei at the age of eighteen, which is terrible, in fact, Li Zhen is a second generation official, his father is now very favored, his father is the general Jin Wuwei, the general of Yulinwei Li Yuanzhong, Li Yuanzhong and Li Hao have a lot of relationship, Li Zhen has also seen Li Hao, when he was still young, he called Li Hao his uncle, so he is no stranger to Li Hao.
Not to mention that Li Zhen is a big fan of Li Hao, after Li Hao repelled the Seven Nations Alliance in the Western Regions, he was a god in a war, Li Zhen also asked his father to ask Li Hao for an autograph, Li Hao refused at the time, because his words were too ugly to take his hand, so he sent a portable short knife to Li Yuanzhong, when Li Zhen got this short knife, he was so excited that he had to put it at the head of the bed every day when he slept.
After Li Hao received the order, Li Zhen saluted Li Hao: "Meet King Qiongnan." He actually wanted to call Li Hao Uncle again, but now that outsiders were present, he still had to call him according to the rules on such an occasion.
Li Hao smiled lightly and waved his hand, and said, "Zhen'er, don't be formal, Your Majesty is in good health?" Is your dad in good health? ”
Li Zhen bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty and father are in good health. ”
"That's good." Li Hao sighed, then smiled, and said with a worried face, "Zhen'er, you came at the wrong time, I just received the news yesterday that Juyong Guan will Fan Jinhai treason Tongyi, secretly release Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, 60,000 troops of the Khitan three clans entered the customs, this morning the scout came to report, the barbarian army is seventy miles northeast of Youzhou, and it will be able to reach Youzhou tonight at the earliest." ”
"What!" Li Zhen glared at hearing this and exclaimed, "I'll go back to Chang'an immediately to report to Your Majesty!" ”
"No need." Li Hao waved his hand and said, "I sent eight hundred li to expedite the military intelligence report yesterday, which is much faster than you." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhen hurriedly said: "Is the prince ready to defend against the enemy?" ”
"In a hurry, I can only prepare casually." Li Hao said, "I once heard your father say that you don't seem to want to be Jin Wuwei, and you want to fight on the battlefield and make contributions like me?" ”
"Back to the prince, yes." Li Zhen replied with a solemn face, "It's a pity that my father has always disagreed." ”
"It's okay if he doesn't agree, uncle supports you." Li Hao raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously, "You came at the wrong time this time, but it is very coincidental, at the moment, this Youzhou is a useless general, you have been skilled in archery and horses since you were a child, your martial arts are not weak, and you have also learned some art of war, so stay and retreat with me." ”
"Seriously!" Li Zhen was extremely excited when he heard this, his eyes lit up, he didn't expect that he would be able to fight on the battlefield so soon, and he was fighting side by side with the legendary invincible Li Hao, this was his dream.
"Look at you like that, what's there to be excited about, it's not a good thing to fight." Li Hao sighed leisurely, "Uncle can remind you, this battle is not easy to fight, and when you go to the battlefield, you will understand that fighting is really the most cruel thing in the world." ”
Li Zhen retorted: "Uncle, I think that since anything exists, there is a reason for its existence, and the same is true for wars. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Hao turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at him, and couldn't help but admire, "I didn't expect you to be so young, but your knowledge is extraordinary, that's right, war does have a reason for its existence, which can be summed up in the simplest sentence: human beings have opened civilization with words, and war has unified civilization." ”
Li Zhen nodded again and again when he heard this, and looked at Li Hao with adoring eyes, as if to say: An idol is really an idol, and the god of war is really a god of war, and what he said is so reasonable.
In fact, Li Hao deliberately said one less sentence, that is, at the same time that civilization can be unified, many civilizations will disappear and disappear, and completely withdraw from the stage of history.
"Let's go, go with my uncle to open my eyes, my uncle will take you to order soldiers, whether you are a piece of war material, you will see in a few days." Li Hao said and strode towards Zhichong Wei Mansion, Li Zhen hurriedly hurried a few steps and followed Li Hao's side.
When Li Hao was ordering troops in Youzhou, Li Tai was pacing back and forth anxiously in the main hall of Cui's mansion, and the three Cui bigwigs stood aside with their heads bowed and their hands down, looking very respectful.
"Why, why didn't you discuss such a big matter with this king, why did you make a claim, and let them go into the customs?" At this moment, Li Tai is a little manic, his steps are fast, and the fat on his cheeks is tossed and turned, if he goes back twenty years, it is estimated that he is very cute.
"Your Highness, please don't be upset." Cui Gongwang said, "The old man is only taking precautions, the assassination of Li Hao failed, Ke Changqing was captured, Ke Changqing's mother is also missing, Li Hao is very likely to have caught our handle, the old man has to do this, the reason why he failed to report to His Royal Highness is that he is afraid that Li Hao will monitor His Royal Highness, please forgive His Highness." ”
Although he looked down on Li Tai, in front of Li Tai, he still behaved like a docile kitten, and talked nonsense seriously, the reason why he was so anxious to let the barbarian army enter the customs was to protect himself, because he knew that if he didn't invite the alien race to make a move, their Cui clan would be finished, and Li Hao would definitely uproot them like he did with the Boling Cui clan.
Cui Gonglian, who was on the side, arched his hand and said: "Yes, Your Highness, we are also thinking about the overall situation, borrowing the power of foreign races, Your Highness, you also nodded, Your Highness will also meet the envoy of the foreign race, has Your Highness changed your mind?" ”
Li Tai wanted to speak, but there was nothing to say, he dreamed of being the emperor, when he was instigated by these three goods, he was hot-headed, decided to partner, and reached some unsavory agreements with the alien races outside the Guanwai.
After that, he calmed down and thought about it, and always felt that this matter was not very reliable, after all, it was not my race, and its heart must be different, who knew that these three were really capable, and they did it without a sound, and now the army of the three clans was a hundred miles away, and he, the leader, received the notice, which made him feel terrible.
"Your Highness, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Cui Gongwang continued, "Since His Royal Highness has the heart to win the throne, then he naturally has to do extraordinary things, except for the foreign races outside the Guan, His Royal Highness has no power to borrow, His Royal Highness can rest assured, the old man has already planned all for His Highness, and within a year, the old man will call himself an old minister, and call His Royal Highness Your Majesty." ”
As soon as he heard the word His Majesty, Li Tai's heart trembled, turned his head to stare at Cui Gongwang for a moment, and said, "You call again." ”
Cui Gongwang was stunned, he didn't react at first, he was stunned for three seconds, and then he realized that he respectfully made a big salute to Li Tai: "The old minister sees His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
"Old minister, see Your Majesty the Emperor!" Cui Gongyi and Cui Gonglian saluted and chanted together.
This sentence seemed to have magical power, and immediately calmed Li Tai's manic heart, he gradually straightened his waist, raised his head and closed his eyes, enjoying the title of the supreme, after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the three of them, and said: "Okay, the matter has come to this, this king has nothing to say, prepare to meet the army of the three clans, Cui Gongwang, you prepare three thousand taels of gold, thirty thousand stones of grain and grass, as a meeting gift to the leader of the army of the three clans." ”
"The old minister obeys!" Cui Gongwang is really an old drama bone, and he is too deep in the play.
