But in the end, no one came to face the saint!
It wasn't until the last day that a Lingnan Jiedu envoy came!
This Lingnan Jiedu Envoy is already sixty years old, but he still traveled thousands of miles from Lingnan to receive the decree.
Looking at the white-haired Lingnan Jiedu envoy in front of her, Li Xiu had mixed feelings.
"Facts have proved that there are still loyal ministers in my Datang feudal town!"
Li Xiu tightly held the hand of the Lingnan Jiedu Envoy, "Old Aiqing came all the way from Lingnan, and you have worked hard all the way."
Li Xiu sent out an imperial decree, but none of the Jiedu envoys from all over the world came.
Only this Lingnan Jiedu envoy gave the emperor a face.
How could Li Xiu not be moved?
"The old minister has been the general of the Tang Dynasty for generations. Your Majesty has a call. As a minister, how can you not obey?"
The Lingnan Jiedu envoy bowed to Li Xiu, and said in a loud voice: "The veteran has the opportunity to look at the sky in this life, and I am already satisfied!"
Li Xiu nodded. Although the other party's words were mostly flattering, they were true.
Lingnan is too far away from Chang'an!
If there is no emperor's order, the Lingnan Jiedu envoy may never have the chance to see Li Xiu in his life.
"Old Aiqing is far away in Lingnan, and she is still loyal to the imperial court. I am very relieved."
Li Xiu looked at the Lingnan Jiedu Envoy with a satisfied face, "I pass on my will, to make Lao Aiqing the Duke of Yue, and to grant a beautiful house in the capital and a hundred acres of fertile land!"
The Lingnan Jiedu envoy was terrified, "Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
He originally thought that this trip to Beijing would be more or less auspicious, even if His Majesty did not kill him for the sake of his obedience, he would probably be imprisoned in Chang'an City.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty gave him such a generous reward!
"Old Aiqing, you must be tired from this long journey. Go down and rest."
Li Xiu laughed.
"The old minister obeys the order."
The Lingnan Jiedu Envoy bowed and kowtowed again, and then withdrew from the palace hall.
"Your Majesty, a little Lingnan Jiedu Envoy, why does Your Majesty treat you so courteously?"
At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War looked at Li Xiu with some puzzlement.
South of the Five Ridges is a remote and barren land, and under the command of the Jiedu Envoy of Lingnan, there are only [-] poor old soldiers. Among the Jiedu Envoys in the world, their strength can only be ranked at the bottom.
He didn't understand why His Majesty valued such a weak feudal governor so much, and even made him a Duke. He really couldn't understand.
How prominent is the position of Duke, is he worthy of such a small role as the Lingnan Jiedushi?
"Although Lingnan Jiedushi is weak, he is the only Jiedushi who is loyal to the imperial court."
How could Li Xiu not understand that in the land of south of the Five Ridges, there are few major generals, even if they serve the imperial court, they will not add much help to the imperial court.
This time, the value of publicity is greater than the actual value of awarding Lingnan Jiedushi.
"I reward Lingnan Jiedu envoys so much, it is to let the Jiedu envoys in the world understand a truth."
A gleam suddenly flashed in Li Xiu's eyes, "That is... those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish!"
Those who obey him can get high officials and rich salary, while those who disobey him will only end in eternal doom!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
All the officials worshiped together.
But in their hearts, they are still very disturbed.
The seven-day time limit has come, and the Jiedu envoys of the world refuse to enter Beijing, so they must have chosen another path...
Just then.
A general in armor walked over like flying, and with a "plop", he knelt down on the imperial road.
"Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent!"
"Fanyang, Pinglu, Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou, the Jiedu envoys of the five towns joined forces to rebel! The army of millions of feudal towns, divided into five groups, came straight to the capital!"
As soon as the urgent report came out, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were overshadowed!
It's coming, it's coming!
The five feudal vassals are rebelling against each other, and millions of rebels are coming to Chang'an!
"Your Majesty, an army of millions of feudal towns is attacking, and there are only tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital city. The court is in danger!"
The Minister of the Ministry of War looked nervous, "Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly, and send General Xiang Yu back to help!"
The military strength of the capital was only tens of thousands of forbidden troops at the beginning, and later the Huainan surrendered army of Sima Chong was incorporated, and the strong and strong people were incorporated into the forbidden army, which expanded to hundreds of thousands.
Among them, [-] forbidden troops left the town of Huainan.
With the [-] Snow Dragon Riders stationed in Taiyuan, only [-] Imperial Guards were available in Chang'an, the capital.
How to stop a million rebels?
Even if Xiang Yu and his [-] snow dragon riders were transferred back, it would be difficult to turn things around and make up for such a big disadvantage!
"His Majesty!"
The admiral of the Nine Gates also came out at this time, "The rebels from the feudal town came in five directions. If they are allowed to merge, they will be an army of millions!"
"Weichen suggested that we should send troops to intercept the harassment and prevent them from merging! It is best to take advantage of General Xiang Yu's rapid advance and destroy one or two of them before they merge, so that there is a slight chance of winning!"
The words of the nine admirals brightened the eyes of many generals in the court.
This is indeed the only way to deal with millions of rebels!
Even Li Xiu nodded slightly.
"Admiral Zhao's suggestion is indeed a solution."
When the Admiral of the Nine Gates heard the words, a look of complacency appeared on his face.
He has never been praised by His Majesty.
But at the next moment, Li Xiu changed the subject, "It's just that it's too cumbersome to do so, and it's impossible to completely annihilate these five towns of rebels in one battle."
The nine admirals were stunned.
The Minister of War was stunned.
The other courtiers were also stunned.
Did they hear it right?
Complete victory in one battle, completely annihilate these five towns of rebels?
Just rely on the strength of the imperial court?
Your Majesty, what are you thinking?
To put it mildly, this time against the millions of rebels from the five powerful feudal clans, the chances of the Tang Dynasty court winning may not be even [-]%, but His Majesty still wants to complete all his achievements in one battle. Isn't this just a dream?
"Chang'an, the capital, is in danger of Tongguan. Even with an army of millions, it cannot be conquered in a short time."
Li Xiu stood up from the dragon chair with sharp eyes, "We just need to keep the rebels out of Tongguan. If the rebels can't attack for a long time, their morale will inevitably be lost. The new force joins the battlefield, and after attacking the enemy's abdomen, the rebel army will be defeated!"
Minister of the Ministry of War and Admiral of the Nine Gates looked at each other, and both could see the worry in each other's eyes.
Your Majesty's strategy is not impossible.
But the key to the success of this strategy lies in whether the imperial court can hold Tongguan.
If you can hold on, then naturally you have hope to win!
But the question is, can you keep it?
[-] banned troops, against a million rebels!
Even with the natural danger of Tongguan, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days.
I'm afraid Tongguan has already been breached by the enemy before it can consume the morale of the enemy!
Just when the ministers were about to remonstrate, Li Xiu waved his hand and said loudly: "I will personally go to Tongguan to fight against the Jiedu envoys of the five feudal towns!"
Chapter 25 The third check-in, 20 iron eagle sharps
Drive in person!
Your Majesty is going to the battlefield in person, risking himself!
Once it fails, it will be beyond redemption!
While all the officials were shaking in their hearts, this time, they did not persuade His Majesty any more.
Because if His Majesty really decides to fight the enemy in Tongguan, then the emperor will personally conquer and live with the soldiers, which can improve the fighting spirit of the imperial army, and will undoubtedly increase the odds of winning this battle by a little bit.
Don't underestimate this trace, at a critical moment, this trace may be the key to determining the outcome of the battlefield.
Besides, even if His Majesty sits in Chang'an, once Tongguan is breached, there will be no escape at all.
The outcome will not make any difference.
It's better to go to the front line and fight!
"My dear friends, do you dare to join me in fighting for a chance for our Great Tang Dynasty?"
Li Xiusao looked at the officials, and his sonorous and forceful voice spread in the Golden Luan Hall.
All the officials, civil and military, all looked condensed, and they all knelt on the court hall and said in unison: "I wait, I am willing to support your Majesty, and go to the national calamity together!"
The hearts of all the officials in the court are full of blood at this moment!
Your Majesty is a man of gold and full of gold, yet he is not afraid of the rebels, and dares to go to the front line in person to fight against millions of enemy troops, and to wrestle with the envoys of the five towns.
How can they dare to spare their lives as ministers?
……
At this time, Fanyang, Pinglu, Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou, the Jiedu envoys of the five towns, raised their troops to rebel almost on the same day, and marched to Chang'an, the capital of the capital, with all the elite soldiers of the feudal towns!
They did not encounter any strong resistance, and they completed the confluence, gathered an army of one million, and marched towards Chang'an City mightily.
"The journey was so smooth that we didn't encounter any resistance from the imperial army, so our five-way feudal town completed the confluence, and the millions of coalition troops joined forces smoothly."
"Our Majesty, shouldn't you have peed your pants in fright?"
The person who spoke was a tall man with Hu blood, he was Shuofang Jiedushi, Ashinabel.
"Shuofang Jiedushi, you underestimate Your Majesty."
Fan Yang Jiedu Envoy Pei Hong shook his head, and said: "I have already received news that His Majesty personally led the [-] forbidden troops in Chang'an City to guard Tongguan, and wanted to wrestle with our five Jiedu Envoys."
"Is the royal conquest in person? The little emperor is a bit courageous."
The Pinglu Jiedu envoy had dark eyes, but he smiled sarcastically, "It's a pity that a mere [-] imperial troops are not enough for us with a million troops."
Even if it is a personal conquest by the royal driver, it can only provide some morale bonuses for the imperial army, and it cannot make up such a huge gap at all.
"The little emperor is too arrogant. A child who is still young wants to abolish the world's feudal towns and take over the power of the world. It's just a dream come true!"
The Longyou Jiedu envoy sneered, "This time I recruited an army of one million feudal towns to attack Chang'an, it's purely moths flying into the flames and bringing about their own destruction!"
"The little emperor himself is right. In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely become a wise emperor like Emperor Taizong."
Hexi Jiedu Envoy also said: "It's a pity that he was born at an untimely time, and now the Tang Dynasty is hopeless. His series of actions will not save the Tang Dynasty, but will accelerate its demise!"
Pei Hong nodded, agreeing to this statement.
Li Xiu was the most courageous Tang emperor he had ever seen.
Unfortunately, it was born at the wrong time.
Now, in front of their army of millions of feudal towns, it is impossible for Li Xiu to counterattack. There is only one dead end waiting for the opponent!
"Speed up the march, we must arrive at Tongguan before noon tomorrow!"
A gleam suddenly flashed in Pei Hong's eyes.
