The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 402: original sin

Views:

After dawn, Master Feihong left under the morning glow.

Before leaving, she turned her face to the side of the red sun that had just appeared on the horizon, and asked Li Ye, "Do you have someone you like?"

Unexpectedly, Li Ye nodded.

Whether it is Wu You, the lord of Princess Li who is in Huaguo Mountain, or the Young Master Commander who followed him in the battle, they all have the answer to this question.

As soon as the words fell, Li Ye saw Master Feihong's shoulders stiffen for a while. Then she said a word, and she swept away from the cornice, turned into a long rainbow and disappeared into the vast sky where the red sun and the morning glow meet.

What she said was: "Forgive my ignorance, I don't know you have someone in your heart."

Li Ye was dumbfounded.

He watched in place for a long time.

Until Master Feihong's back can no longer be seen.

He suddenly felt lost, and an inexplicable worry lingered in his heart.

He felt as if he was missing something.

For a long time, he said silently in his heart: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. There will be a period later."

After the immortal monks descended from the Kunlun passage, there is a high possibility that they will never go back. However, as one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist realm, Master Feihong has a high level of cultivation and a respected status, so he cannot afford to lose her. If the Holy Buddha dared to let her go, he would naturally have a way to take her back.

The only difference lies in how much the Buddha Domain has to pay.

Thinking of this, Li Ye suddenly thought of a question. If Xianting is willing to pay such a price and send down an immortal official whose strength is almost the same as Master Feihong, wouldn't he have to be slaughtered

Xianting dispatched Chen Jizhen, Zhang Ji, and He Jingcheng successively to come forward, but they did not let such a powerful person descend to the realm. Of course, they meant to look down on Li Ye, thinking that Li Ye was not worth the price they paid. But after He Jingcheng was also defeated, would they make such a choice

Even if the Immortal Territory is fighting now, the mighty might not be able to get away, and at this time, the price to be paid for letting go of the mighty and taking it back may be so great that Xianting is unwilling to bear it easily, but this possibility is still there.

And with the development of the situation, this possibility will become bigger and bigger.

After all, to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although Taoist Nichen behind the White Deer Cave has been imprisoned in Dongfu Palace for a thousand years, he still has a lot of power in the Immortal Court, and after thousands of years of keeping a low profile, his power should have developed. Maybe they can influence Xianting's arrangement in this matter.

But Li Ye didn't want to put his hope on others.

He withdrew his gaze, returned to the room, and began to make some necessary plans.

In addition, Li Ye did not dare to take the Daibei war lightly.

There is only one reason.

Li Cunxiao is still there.

As a military general, he is invincible on the battlefield. With Li Xian already heading west, no one on Li Ye's side can sanction him, not even himself.

Li Cunxiao only needs thousands of elite soldiers, and with his own strength, he can decide the outcome of a local battlefield, thereby affecting the overall situation of the war.

Li Ye wanted to directly attack and kill Li Keyong, so he took his salary from the bottom of the pot. But what if Li Keyong hid in the barracks and was inseparable from Li Cunxiao? As long as Li Cunxiao's military battle starts, it will be difficult for Li Ye to do anything to him.

This battle will not be easy.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario.

But no matter what, Li Ye decided to set off, he had to give it a try.

...

Daizhou Governor's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was extremely dull. Li Keyong still held the high position, overlooking the group of officials and generals, but he lost the aura of looking down on all directions in the past. Even though he still had the same face and sitting posture as before, he still tried his best to regain the majesty of the past.

But majesty has never been able to pretend.

Without the backdrop of power, how many people can have real majesty

However, for Li Keyong, although the majesty is no longer what it used to be, the coercion of his cultivation has never been compromised. Therefore, whether it was the generals such as Fu Cunshen who followed him and retreated to Daizhou, or the local officials of Daizhou, they could only keep their heads down at this moment, not daring to breathe.

Li Ke was very angry.

Because he has already seen that the appearance of everyone is only because of their fear of his powerful cultivation, and they no longer have the kind of admiration for him from the bottom of their hearts.

Some things, after all, are gone forever.

The human heart is the best mirror, from which anyone can clearly see their own situation.

The governor of Daizhou said in a trembling voice: "Master Wang... After the bandit army captured Taiyuan City, the nearby counties and counties returned in hopelessness. Shizhou, Lanzhou, and Xinzhou have all sent envoys to Taiyuan City to visit the leader of the bandit, Li Ye. According to reports, Li Ye was rectifying the army in Taiyuan City, and his vanguard had already marched towards Daizhou. Li Ye also sent people to distribute a large number of proclamations, denouncing the crimes of the county king, and Daizhou is now panicking... ok In the four prefectures of Dai, Shuo, Yun and Wei, the king of the county is still respected... "

Li Ke was even more angry in his heart, and even his breathing became heavy.

Because he found that Daizhou governor clearly showed enough awe when he reported these military information.

Of course, the awe is not for him, but for the officers and soldiers, for Li Ye!

He was sitting in front of Daizhou Inspector, Li Ye was still hundreds of miles away, and the other party just mentioned Li Ye in words, the awe he showed was far better than him!

How could Li Keyong not be angry

Li Ke took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger. Now he can't do anything to the other party.

Fu Cunshen followed up and made a statement. He said generously: "Don't worry, the king of the county. Right now we still have four prefectures, Dai, Shuo, Yun, and Wei. We have not suffered a crushing defeat. We only need to gather troops and recruit warriors, and we can still survive. Defending the city! The previous defeat to the bandits was nothing more than underestimating the enemy. We have followed the county king to fight north and south, and we have never seen such a situation. As long as we work together, the county king will be able to counterattack Taiyuan in a short time!"

Li Keyong nodded, and cast an appreciative look at Fu Cunshen.

Of course, his defeat in Taiyuan had nothing to do with underestimating the enemy, but now he wants these words to stabilize the hearts of Daizhou.

After the discussion was over, everyone withdrew, and Li Keyong left Fu Cunshen alone to continue discussing major issues.

"The king has already sent Kang Junli to go north to the grasslands to borrow troops from the Tatars. As soon as the troops of the Tatars arrive, the king can launch a counterattack." Li Ke spoke clearly, full of confidence, and full of expectations after speaking Looking at Fu Cunjian.

A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org

Fu Cunshen immediately clasped his fists: "The king of the county is wise. If this is the case, a great event can be expected. At the end of the day, the general asked to lead an army to intercept the vanguard of the bandit army, dampen their spirit, and boost the morale of the army!"

Li Keyong was very satisfied with Fu Cunju's reaction. He always valued Fu Cunju closely, otherwise he wouldn't be the only one left now. Since Fu Cunshen still has the will to fight, it proves that morale has not been lost and he still has a chance.

What is temporary success or failure? Throughout the ages, I don’t know how many famous players on the battlefield will encounter setbacks, but as long as they overcome the challenges, they can always turn defeat into victory. Li Keyong felt that he was the same.

Just like the defeat of Datong before and forced to flee to the Tatar Ministry, didn't they regain their strength later

"The thieves are in full swing. You don't need to ask for trouble at this time. My king is worried about another thing now." Li Keyong suddenly said deeply.

Fu Cunshen said he was all ears.

Li Keyong didn't say it clearly, but said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the battle of Yizhou?"

When Li Ye attacked Yizhou, Liu Da was attacking Fenzhou. At that time, the war in Yizhou was unfavorable. Li Keyong sent Li Cunxiao there, but because of Li Ye's divorce, Li Keyong recalled Li Cunxiao, resulting in the collapse of Yizhou.

Fu Cunshen quickly understood Li Keyong's meaning: "The king of the county is saying... the Thirteenth Taibao?"

Li Keyong was very satisfied with Fu Cun's quick response. He nodded, his voice gradually cold: "When the Thirteenth Taibao was in Yizhou, he had a close relationship with Li Ye. Praise, there are private messages in secret! The Thirteenth Taibao is a military general, and Li Ye covets him very much, and the terms he offered to recruit him are very generous... "

Speaking of this, Li Keyong didn't say much anymore, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Fu Cunshen pondered for a moment, and tentatively said: "The Thirteenth Taibao... is indeed a variable."

"Of course it's a variable!" Li Ke immediately said loudly.

After the Battle of Yizhou, Li Keyong was defending Taiyuan, and Li Cunxiao was allowed to return to the battlefield at a critical moment.

But whether it is Li Keyong or Fu Cunjian, they both understand at this moment that Li Keyong relieved Li Cunxiao of his military power and let him stay at home. He did nothing wrong!

Of course Li Keyong can't go wrong!

He doesn't feel like he's done something wrong. If he thought so, then wouldn't he be responsible for Yizhou's loss and the collapse of the Battle of Hedong

During the war, he was jealous of the general. If this matter got out, wouldn't the generals feel chilled? Who else will follow him through life and death

Fu Cunshen would not think that Li Ke used it wrong. If he thinks so, wouldn't he criticize the lord? Isn't that dissatisfied with the lord? Do you also want to join Li Ye

In normal times, with his status, he could feel that Li Cunxiao would not seek refuge with Li Ye, and he could also persuade Li Keyong. But what time is it? How dare he not have the same thought and heart with Li Keyong

So Li Ke was right.

The one who is so wrong can only be Li Cunxiao.

So Li Cunxiao really colluded with Li Ye!

As for the battle of Taiyuan City, it was also an opportunity for Li Ke to use his broad mind to give Li Cunxiao the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Unfortunately, Li Cunxiao did not seize this opportunity.

Li Keyong said: "When the battle of Taiyuan City was at its most intense, Li Cunxiao actually clasped his fists at the top of the city in front of all the soldiers and saluted the enemy general, saying 'King An'! What does he want to do? He has no friendship with the other party, and he has no intention of relying on Li Ye, so why? Li Ye was not on the battlefield at the time, but he said 'greetings to King An', isn't this a sign of surrender?"

Li Cunshen looked suddenly enlightened: "It seems that the defeat of Taiyuan City that day was due to the Thirteenth Taibao colluding with thieves and failing to defend, which caused the battle to collapse and the city to fall!"

Li Ke used to angrily slam the knot, "This guy always regards himself as a loyal minister, saying that he is willing to die for the great cause of Hedong. I didn't expect that he would do such a thing in the end. I really disregarded my trust in him! This It's because this king employs people carelessly that he ended up like this!"

As he spoke, Li Keyong burst into tears, weeping bitterly, as if he was heartbroken by Li Cunxiao and extremely annoyed.

The lord humiliated his minister to death, and Li Keyong's appearance made Fu Cunshen furious immediately, and stood up angrily: "Don't worry, the king of the county, the last general will go and behead Li Cunxiao, a thief, and bring his head to see!"

However, Li Keyong grabbed Fu Cunjian and pretended to say: "General! After all, the Thirteenth Taibao has made great military achievements. Even if he is deceived by the thieves this time, how can I kill him like this... Besides... , this king has no direct evidence that he colluded with thieves... "

He behaved kindly to his subordinates.

"Your Majesty, what more evidence do you need! If he is really loyal, if the city breaks down that day, he should die in battle! He didn't die, it already explained everything!"

Fu Cunshen's blood rushed to his head, and he was completely furious, "The king of the county is benevolent, loves soldiers like sons, and is considerate of his subordinates. Who does I wait for? Because of this, we are willing to die for the king! But Li Cunxiao is a wolf-hearted dog. If you don't kill him this time, the soldiers will not accept it, and the morale of the army will be weakened!"

Li Ke made a slip of the tongue, as if out of his wits: "He didn't die in battle, well, he didn't die in battle..."

"That's it! He didn't die in battle, it's an ironclad proof!" Fu Cun said coldly, "After the defeat of Taiyuan, he was still with the king of the county. , It's not good for the county king... This fellow, the plan is very big, the county king must investigate!"

That day Li Cunxiao fought bloody battles at the top of the city, the general's domain was broken, and in the end he was exhausted and wounded all over, so he had to return to the city.

Unexpectedly, General Xiao did not die in the battle, but it became his biggest original sin, the biggest evidence of surrendering to the enemy.

Li Ke stopped crying and sighed: "For the sake of the soldiers of the three armies, this king... can only feel sorry for the Thirteen Taibao!"

After saying that, Li Keyong stood up, his complexion recovered, "Here, let Li Cunxiao come and see you!"

When Li Ke gave the order, a sneer flashed across the corner of Fu Cunshen's mouth.

Li Cunxiao has already made great military achievements, and in the solo army, no other Taibao can match. Now that he has become a military general again, one can imagine how brilliant he will be in the future.

If he didn't die, wouldn't all his military achievements be his? How can people like Fu Cunjian have a chance to succeed

Being too good is also Li Cunxiao's original sin.
