The armies of both sides were nervously preparing for tomorrow's decisive battle. Li Zuoguo's only son was sitting in the tent with a letter in his hand. This was a letter from Anxi's left-behind general Li Yuexing. Li Yuexing said that he was old and weak and hoped to hand over the soldiers of Suiye Town. Military power returned to Shule to retire, and Li Zuoguo frowned deeply. Li Zuoguo understood the meaning behind this letter as soon as he read it. The key was that Li Yuexing was afraid of suspicion regarding military power.
Li Yuexing is Li Hu's father and Li Zuoguo's cousin. Li Hu is already the commander-in-chief of Li Zuoguo's southern army, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Li Yuexing also has tens of thousands of soldiers in Suiye Town. Both father and son are commanders of an army at the same time. , almost controlled more than one-third of the Anxi army, which was not a good thing for Li Hu and Li Yuexing, so Li Yuexing proposed that he wanted to go home to retire. This letter arrived today at the same time as a batch of baggage sent from the rear.
Li Zuoguo pinched his brows, feeling a bit difficult to handle. To be honest, the two people Li Zuoguo trusted most now were Li Yuexing and Li Hu. Not only were they relatives, but they were also old men who had been with their father and son for a long time. They had always been loyal and loyal. There has never been any issue of loyalty. Li Zuoguo's Yinying is not a vegetarian. If there is any change, Li Zuoguo will definitely be the first. After so many years of growth, Yinying has truly become a reliable source of intelligence for Li Zuoguo.
Li Yue was in trouble with Li Zuoguo, so he wrote at the end of the letter: My son Li Hu will follow you Da Lang to fight all over the world. I am old and decrepit, and there is no way to make progress after the war, so I resign and hope Da Lang will give me permission.
It means that if you don¡¯t want to block Li Hu¡¯s progress anymore, please ask Li Zuoguo to make good use of Li Hu for the sake of loyalty. Li Zuoguo sighed, this matter cannot be undone, otherwise Li Yuexing and Li Hu would be very worried. He felt uneasy, and it was imperative for the overall situation of the Anxi Army. However, now facing a war, Li Zuoguo picked up the pen on the table and began to write a reply to Li Yuexing.
Li Zuoguo replied to Li Yuexing that he would let Li Yuexing retire after returning victorious from this battle, but instead of retiring directly, he would let Li Yuexing take over the post of deputy general manager of Anxi. Li Zuoguo stated in the letter that he would later name the current officials in Anxi All changes were made to show the difference from official positions in the Tang Dynasty. After all, due to the hasty dispatch of troops, not all work had been done. After Li Yuexing handed over military power, he directly transferred to an administrative position. This was a good explanation for both him and Li Hu. .
Putting down his pen, Li Zuoguo sealed the envelope, called for his soldiers, and ordered it to be sent out urgently within 800 miles. Li Zuoguo planned to transfer Duan Yuntian to replace Li Yuexing as the Broken Leaf Guard. Duan Yuntian was also a veteran under his father, and he had always been loyal to his father and son. , Li Yi has not been trained in the past few years. To lead the army in a fierce battle in the Central Plains, the rear needs someone who can relax and not suffer losses, but can frighten the countries in the Western Regions. Li Yi is more suitable. Li Zuoguo plans to transfer Li Yi back to Guizhou. I hereby serve as the general manager of the Kucha March in order to deal with the possible unrest among the countries in the Western Region after Anxi has deployed half of its troops.
Li Yi now also has a bad reputation. His method of massacring Tubo soldiers made all the countries in the Western Regions afraid of him. Although he did it together with Li Hu, Li Hu has always appeared in the world with a reckless and rough image. Everyone thinks that here In fact, it was definitely Li Yi who gave Li Hu the idea, so Li Yi took the blame. Of course, it was also Li Yi's idea originally, but Li Hu had already had this intention, and Li Yi was more suitable to guard Anxi. The candidates have been selected, and there are a few veteran guards who will definitely not cause any trouble. Of course, Li Zuoguo is prepared to wait for the battle here to come to an end before implementing these arrangements.
Li Zuoguo stood up and walked out of the tent. It was quiet here at the commander's office, but it was busy a little further away. In order to fight the Tang Army, the Anxi Army's camp had to move ten miles back. Moving the camp was not a simple matter. Unless the Anxi Army is well-trained, it would be a dream to move the camp for more than a day.
The weather has improved, the thick clouds in the sky have dispersed, revealing the blue sky, and the sultry weather has become much cooler. Li Zuoguo looked at the soldiers in Anxi who were busy like ants, and his heart surged with pride. He never expected to have such a powerful army to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Thinking about the history of the Tang Dynasty when he was in school, how powerful and prosperous it was, and now personally participating in it as an important historical task, Li Zuoguo felt so fascinated.
How will future generations evaluate it? Li Zuoguo thought about this problem and raised his thick eyebrows, slowly knitting them together. Li Zuoguo thought of Li Siye. To be honest, he had no close relationship with Li Siye. After all, the soul in this body is a person from later generations. He is an adult, but in these few short years, Li Zuoguo has deeply felt the love under the strong military image of Li Siye, the love for the Tang Dynasty, and the love for the Tang Dynasty. Li Siye is worthy of being a soldier who has served the country.
Thinking of this, Li Zuoguo showed an angry look on his face. The emperor is for the emperor, and he is not responsible for what he says or does. Anyway, no matter how outrageous he does, in the endThose who are scolding are not the emperor, but the ministers around the emperor. How could a god-like emperor appear?
An Lushan raised an army for the purpose of rebellion, but the words of the army only stated that he would punish the treacherous minister Qing Junzi. Li Zuoguo did not bother to do this at all. He directly raised the banner to settle the score with Tang Xuanzong, the fool who forced Li Siye to death. Fortunately, Li Zuoguo had a foothold. It¡¯s basically Anxi. The population in Anxi is complex. It¡¯s basically very different from the farming culture in the Central Plains. The local people¡¯s beliefs are also very different from those in the Central Plains. People in Anxi respect and admire the strong. They also admire the strong, and Li Siye and his son completely fit the image of a strong person in the eyes of Anxi people.
Unlike the Han people in the Central Plains who believe that the emperor is unique and cannot be betrayed, the Anxi people in their hearts are just a distant image, which has nothing to do with their basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. Unlike the Han people in the Central Plains who are deeply influenced by the supremacy of imperial power and the divine right of kings. There is no resistance at all to Li Zuoguo's retaliation. The powerful leader Li Zuoguo wants to raise his army to avenge the former leader Li Siye. It's great. In the hearts of most Anxi people, Li Siye and Li Zuoguo's father and son are the people of Anxi.
