The monarch and his ministers exchanged greetings for a while, and then Li Jiancheng explained that he was about to return to Jiankang, and the front line was entrusted to the two of them.
Li Mi and Li Xiaogong were originally ministers of the clan, but now that Li Jiancheng said so, it was tantamount to entrusting the country to them.
How could they, who claimed to be loyal ministers, not follow them.
After leaving Li Jiancheng's room, Li Xiaogong couldn't bear the doubts deep in his heart anymore, he pulled Li Mi and asked eagerly: "Don't you know that the Second Highness is more suitable to ascend to the throne of God than the crown prince? Now that the enemy is present, if If the two Highnesses cause civil strife, my Tang Dynasty will be really in danger."
Li Mi looked around and said in a low voice: "How can I not know that the Second Highness is more suitable, as a general, didn't you see the light of the sword in the side room just now?"
"Blade light?" Li Xiaogong suddenly understood something, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"If I hadn't bowed my knees and surrendered to His Highness the Crown Prince just now, not only me, I'm afraid even you would have difficulty walking out of the hall today. Alright, no matter who the throne is, we just need to stick to Yuzhang and protect the country!"
Li Xiaogong sighed, took one last look at the City Lord's Mansion, and left helplessly.
Chapter 910 Rumors Can Destroy a Country
Xiakou, in the camp of the Qi army.
Cao Anmin, Li Ji, and Luo Shixin walked around the camp with their guards.
Cao Anmin's face was full of anticipation, and he looked towards the east from time to time.Although Luo Shixin didn't know why Cao Anmin was like this, but as a personal general, he always followed the king.
"Counting the days, they have been marching for a few days, and it is time for news to come." Cao Anmin said lightly.
"It should be about the same. As long as the news comes, the day when we lead the army to conquer Jiangdong will not be far away." Li Ji nodded. Although he looked tepid on the surface, he was always thinking about this matter in his heart.
At this moment, a fast horse came straight towards Cao Anmin.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Jiangdong!" The knight on the horse quickly got off his horse and handed the bamboo slip on his chest to Cao Anmin.
"Jiangdong?" Cao Anmin laughed out loud.After receiving the bamboo slips, he didn't read them, but turned to Li Ji and said, "Mr. Mao may wish to guess, how is the situation?"
Li Ji said lightly, with a long beard, "Your Majesty is a man of great talent, and General Qi is a general in charge of the army. This time he will definitely win."
Cao Anmin opened the bamboo slips with a smile, and Yang Tian laughed loudly after reading it: "This land in Jiangdong must belong to Da Qi, Li Yuan has been captured!"
Li Yuan was the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he was the last stumbling block in the way of Qi's unification of the world.
Now that this stone has been captured, for the great cause of Qi State, there will only be a broad road in the future.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!" Li Ji hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists to congratulate.
Cao Anmin waved his hand and said, "Immediately dispatch a spy to spread the news throughout Yuzhang."
Secret work and rumors are the easiest way to disintegrate fighting spirit.It has been half a month since Qi and Tang confronted each other in Yuzhang, and a large number of meticulous works were spread all over the cities in the two countries.
The fall of Jiankang, the Southern Tang Dynasty must have tried its best to cover up this matter, at least before the new emperor appeared, this news must not be known by ordinary soldiers, otherwise it would shake the morale of the army.
And what Cao Anmin has to do is to spread the news, and to break the morale of the Tang army in one go.
At that time, going down the river, it will be much easier to attack the Tang army.
Although Wu County was not occupied by the Qi army, it was still for Cao Anmin right now.
The sneak attack on Wujun was actually telling Nan Tang that he could sneak attack anywhere along the coast of Tang State at any time as long as he wanted.
Even though the Southern Tang deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in Yuzhang, it claimed that it was a natural moat built by people.
But in front of the Qi State, it is to tell everyone that no one can stop the Qi army from advancing eastward.
"promise!"
Seeing that Cao Anmin was so excited, Li Ji was actually so excited himself.The previous preparations took so much energy, now the flowers are blooming and the stems are falling, it is time to pick the fruits of victory.
When Li Ji left, Cao Anmin's fiery heart showed no signs of extinguishing.Instead, as time went by, it became even hotter.
In the end, he glanced at the direction where Yuzhang was, and said in a low voice, "Since you are planning to fight, that's fine, I will accompany you to fight to the end."
Around Yuzhang, there was a lot of voices.
The two armies confronted each other, but the war never broke out. Naturally, the people also had to make a living, so it was impossible to stay in the city forever.
At a fixed time, the gates of the city will be opened, and the people in the city will leave the city.
When the army is stationed, it is inevitable to deal with the people near the city, buy some necessities, and even let the people cook directly.
Now that the war has been unstoppable, many low-level officers in the Tang army will go to buy some food in private, and some even secretly buy wine.
Zhang Bo is such a person, he is a small military lord under the command of former general Yin Kaishan.When he has nothing to do on weekdays, he will leave the camp with one or two cronies and go to a nearby restaurant to buy food.
Today, as usual, he went to the largest restaurant in Yuzhang City in casual clothes.
This restaurant is full of people coming and going.
This is also Zhang Bo's shrewdness.
If you go to some taverns, once you go too many, you are afraid that the boss will remember him.
The military order of the Tang army prohibiting alcohol is extremely serious, and if it is violated, it will be severely punished.In order to deceive others, Zhang Bo chose this place as the most suitable place.
However, as soon as he walked in today, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little different.
"Have you heard? Jiankang has been breached!" A middle-aged man suddenly said to the people next to him, his voice was not loud enough to be heard clearly by the people around him.
Zhang Bo saw that this middle-aged man seemed to be a businessman.
The merchants in this era are all people who traveled from north to south, and the clothes on his body seem to come from the north.
"Improbable! That is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is heavily guarded. Besides, how could the Qi army break through Yuzhang and enter Wu County, and kill Jiankang. I have been staying in Jiankang, but I have not seen the Qi army attacking the city. They didn’t even fight Yuzhang, so how could they get into Jiankang?” The businessman next to him didn’t seem to believe it.
"Brother, what he said is the truth, I just came over there." A person next to him heard their conversation, turned his head and said mysteriously.
As the saying goes, three people become tigers.
Originally, the businessman from Yuzhang didn't really believe it, but he couldn't help but believe it after two people talked about it.
"I heard that the State of Qi had deployed an army of tens of thousands of people on the sea to the east. They took advantage of the time when all the troops of the Tang Dynasty were concentrated in Yuzhang, and they took advantage of the wind and waves to directly kill Jiankang. If I didn't run fast If they don't, I'm afraid they will have to be captured alive." The businessman who joined in was a little smug at this time.
"Also? Could it be that someone was captured alive?"
"The capital has fallen, who do you think will be captured alive! I heard that the entire family of the emperor was captured alive by the Qi State, and they were directly escorted back to Pengcheng."
"Could it be that the rumors about Yizhou on the sea are true?" The northern businessman is well-informed. He heard a long time ago that there is a big island in the east overseas, which can hide millions of people. He thought it was just a joke, but now it seems true. There is such a thing.
"Maybe!"
"Jiankang is lost, is it really lost?" The conversation between the three people did not mean to suppress it at all, and the people around them were suddenly surprised, and came over to ask.
