bookandnovel Chapter 285 Li Yuanqing
Chapter 285 Li Yuanqing
Why is the great general Tiance who is so resourceful on the battlefield so stupid and straightforward in such matters?
With confused eyes, he watched his second brother leave the court without hesitation and march north alone.
Competitors withdrew from the competition without hesitation. Or the other party has never regarded him as his competitor, and does not care about this so-called throne.
Li Yuanqing, who took the crown prince and the future throne into his arms, did not feel any happiness at all.
He felt confused and empty inside.
He looked at his father who breathed a sigh of relief and the surrounding officials who were celebrating.
Li Yuanqing felt such a strong sense of disgust that he had never felt before. It even made him almost vomit in public.
He abandoned the land of the two states, burned the imperial city, and moved south, just to avoid the flames of war.
Did this ending actually make them so happy?
Li Yuanqing recalled the blazing eyes of the soldiers and civilians when he joined the army with his second brother.
They were cast on Tiance Divine General, and he could feel the undisguised and unreserved reverence and love within him just by rubbing his second brother's light.
At this moment, Li Yuanqing finally understood something.
It turns out that Li Guanting never cared about the throne, he focused on the world.
The throne represents power, but it can never represent all the people in the world.
Instead of responding to the ministers as before, Li Yuanqing left the magnificent hall with unspeakable frustration and loss.
Li Yuanqing wanted to do something.
But he said to himself, what can he do? What can a seven-thousand-day march accomplish?
If possible, at this moment he even hoped that his second brother could return in triumph.
As for the throne, he no longer cares.
But what can he do? The tiger talisman and military power are in the hands of Emperor Qi. Without the tiger talisman, he can do nothing.
…
Seeing the thousands of horses roaring together and the thirty flags fluttering in the wind, even Chen Ming couldn't help but feel deeply shocked and almost stopped breathing.
When he saw Li Yuanqing taking the lead and the look in his eyes, Chen Ming laughed and understood everything in his heart.
It seems that the prince's structure and ambition are a bit bigger than he thought.
The two brothers met, and thousands of troops and horses surged around them. The two looked at each other, and there was a lot of friendship, all of which was unspoken.
Chen Ming couldn't help but ask: "How did you bring all these soldiers out? Did Emperor Qi agree? Or did you steal the tiger charm?"
"Stealing the Tiger Talisman? My father regards the Tiger Talisman as more important than his life. How could he steal it?"
Li Yuanqing looked up at the golden light in the sky, squinted his eyes, and said quietly: "I don't have a tiger charm. I told them that I came to save you, and they all came with me."
As he spoke, he remembered the scene at that time and couldn't help laughing.
At that time, he walked into the military camp with an uneasy heart. Before he could use his eloquence to try to persuade, a famous general impatiently urged him to lead his troops and set off.
The envoy who was sent by his father to hold a tiger talisman to order not to send troops trembled and looked at the officers and soldiers passing by talking and laughing, not daring to say a word.
But all the soldiers just walked forward and turned a blind eye to the so-called tiger charm.
There was even a messenger who directly handed the Tiger Talisman into his hands and whispered to him to lead his troops to rescue General Tiance.
That was a scene he had never seen or thought about in his decades of overt and covert fighting and scheming.
Emperor Qi changed the commanders of the legions again and again, fearing that the commanders would be familiar with the soldiers and be able to lead troops to resist the decree.
Especially if there is a legion that has cooperated with the Tiance Army, the commander will be transferred after returning to the court. This has almost become a potential practice.
"But Father, you would never have imagined that all the soldiers and generals would worship one person from the bottom of their hearts. Even higher than the Tiger Talisman and higher than the imperial power."
Li Yuanqing looked in the direction of Yongle Imperial City.
He knew that on the throne, there was a figure sitting in despair, unable to understand what happened.
Li Yuanqing sighed quietly in his heart.
Father, Father, I have been in power for decades, and I have fifty tiger talismans in my hands. Have you ever thought that all your hard work is nothing compared to a call sign?
The human heart, the human heart, how can it not be able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery?
General Tiance walked in front, followed by an army of 300,000 men.
The sage said: The virtue of a gentleman is like the grass of a villain, but the wind on the grass will destroy it.
The upturned faces, the blazing eyes.
They were all looking at him, waiting for him to give orders, no need for the so-called Tiger Talisman.
This was a spontaneous mutiny from the bottom up. What was unprecedented was that this mutiny to usurp power received all the praise in the imperial society.
It is also a compulsory course for all emperors in future generations.
There has never been one before, and there will be no one after.
…
When the 300,000 troops shrouded in golden light arrived on the battlefield, the situation of the battle was changed.
On the one hand, it is gloomy and depressing, but on the other hand, the morale of the army has reached its peak.
The 300,000 troops of Southern Qi fought for their beloved general from the bottom of their hearts.
The Northern Qi Demon Army only did so because of orders from their superiors.
Although the two armies are equally powerful, once they enter a protracted war, the outcome is already doomed!
The various armies of the Demon Army fought independently. Not to mention how closely they collaborated, some of them even had a relationship with each other as enemies, but they were forced to integrate by the royal family.
But the Southern Qi army was unified as one because of one person! Even the military forces are vaguely connected to each other!
In the end, the demon army was defeated!
Even the demon lord with unparalleled martial arts skills was forcibly killed by Chen Ming with the power of his last intervention, until he fled in tears.
From Tianhe City, the gateway to Yuanzhou, an army of 300,000 people chased the demon army all the way.
Huizhou, Dingzhou Mountains, Huangming Desert... pursued for tens of thousands of miles, all the way to the gate of Moqi Kingdom!
In the end, an army of 500,000 demons came in force and marched straight into Huanglong with the determination to destroy Southern Qi in one fell swoop.
However, within a few days, he was hunted down to the point where he threw away his armor and fled, leaving only less than 100,000 defeated soldiers, who returned in defeat!
————————
Regarding the prejudgmental explanation of this chapter: Li Yuanqing's transformation is actually not sudden.
I have laid the groundwork in several places in the previous article. Then he also gave a general explanation of his spirit and ambitions. For example, he once said that after taking office, he must reform the laws that weakened the military's combat effectiveness because generals could not stay in office for a long time.
Therefore, if you think back, you will find that Li Yuanqing's general personality is: gentle (disguise), hypocritical (to a certain extent), lofty ambitions (to change the pattern of Southern Qi), large-scale, high-spirited, and acceptable ability to lead troops (defeat the five kings) One hundred thousand troops, and becoming a prince by virtue of military merit, etc.) and so on.
Putting these characters together, let alone a wise king, they would definitely be incompatible with a mediocre king, a fatuous king, or an emperor of Qi.
Coupled with some of Li Guanting's influence on him.
It was reasonable for him to make such a decision at this time. It’s not that I wrote randomly for the plot.
(The prophet who predicted that the prince would have an affair with the demons must have guessed wrong. Obviously, this kind of plot that can be seen through at a glance is not what I like to write.)
