Volume 1 The War in the Northwest Chapter 50 The Prince¡¯s Visit

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the conversation with Yang Rong, Liu Yi learned a lot about the war.

    In the past, she always thought that as long as she had enough tricks, she could decide the outcome.  But what Yang Rong said made her understand that war is not just that simple.

    Every detail of troop formation and tactical application may determine the success or failure of the battle.  Countless small battles make up a large-scale war, and the outcome of the war may determine the prosperity or decline of a country.

    Yang Rong was not very optimistic about the party's expedition from the beginning.

    He has fought against the Dangxiang people. With tactics like the Dangxiang people, it is not difficult to win a few victorious battles around the border between the two sides. However, if they go deep into their hinterland, they may fall into a bitter battle and the entire regiment may be destroyed.  That endless desert and swamp swallowed up.

    After receiving the imperial decree for the expedition, Yang Rong gave Song Taizong a suggestion to advance the fortress and gradually encroach.

    As an emperor who has been making war decisions all his life, Song Taizong naturally knew that this suggestion was the most suitable for fighting the party members.

    But after all, he was already old, and he was a little worried. He was worried that he would not be able to see the party members being eliminated by Yang Rong while he was alive. He did not say whether Yang Rong's suggestion was feasible or not feasible, and just let Yang Rong decide according to the circumstances.

    This sentence depends on the circumstances. On the surface, it seems that Song Taizong agreed to Yang Rong's proposal, but in Yang Rong's eyes, this is not the case.

    Song Taizong was still looking forward to a quick victory and entered the hinterland of the Dangxiang people. If Yang Rong could not leave for a long time, there would definitely be some villains in the court who would obstruct him from behind and say bad things about him secretly.

    Although there was support from Zhao Dechang and others in the court, Yang Rong did not dare to place too much hope. After all, Zhao Dechang was not yet the emperor.

    When Liu Yi and I left the corner tower, it was already evening, and there were more pedestrians on the street than during the day.

    Since the elimination of Zhong Yao¡¯s forces, Tokyo City has become much more peaceful than before, and control has been tightened in the city. Every time you walk along the road, you can see a group of patrolling soldiers.

    Back to the General's Mansion, as soon as Yang Rong entered the door, the housekeeper ran over to meet him and whispered to him: "Sir, His Royal Highness has been waiting for you at the mansion for a long time."

    "It's already dark, and His Highness is still in the house?" Hearing that Zhao Dechang came to see him, Yang Rong was stunned and asked the housekeeper: "Didn't you wait for several hours? Why didn't you order someone to report to me?"

    "The mansion has sent manpower, but the master can't be found." The housekeeper said to Yang Rong with a bitter face: "Almost the entire Tokyo city has been searched by the guards of the mansion, but His Highness the Crown Prince is not too anxious. At this moment, he is  There¡¯s tea in the front room.¡±

    "Who else is there besides His Highness? Why didn't I see His Highness's guard of honor?" Yang Rong frowned slightly and whispered to the housekeeper while walking towards the mansion.

    "There is only His Highness." The steward bowed slightly and said to Yang Rong: "His Highness came here dressed as a civilian and escorted by five or six guards."

    "This is nonsense!" Upon hearing that Zhao Dechang was alone and only brought five or six guards to the General's Mansion, Yang Rong frowned, muttered, and led Chen Rui and Xiao Ting straight to the front hall.  .

    Liu Yi did not go with him to see Zhao Dechang. After entering the house, she turned around and walked towards the back garden.

    As soon as he entered the front hall, Yang Rong saw Zhao Dechang sitting in the hall, sipping tea leisurely.

    "Your Highness!" He raised his feet and crossed the threshold. Yang Rong stood at the door with his hands clasped in his fists and said to Zhao Dechang: "How can Your Highness go out alone with only five or six guards? Although the traitors have been eliminated, it is inevitable that they will not  If there are any remnants, if His Highness has some shortcomings, how can I explain it to the Holy One?"

    Yang Rong entered the front hall. Zhao Dechang just stood up and was about to greet him. However, he was scolded by Yang Rong and felt a little embarrassed.

    He smiled bitterly and said to Yang Rong: "I heard that you are going to conquer the party members tomorrow, so I wanted to come and see you, but I was scolded by General Yang. Alas, it seems that this prince likes to stir up trouble.  It made the general unhappy."

    "That's not the case." Seeing that Zhao Dechang was a little depressed, Yang Rong quickly said to him: "I am just worried about the safety of His Highness. I returned to the mansion today. I wanted to visit the Crown Prince in the evening, but I didn't expect the Crown Prince to come by himself."

    "I think you are thinking hard." Zhao Dechang sat back on his chair, and when talking to Yang Rong, his address became "you and me", which was enough to show his closeness to Yang Rong.

    "Your Highness came to see you, just because you miss me so much?" Yang Rong put down his hands, raised his head, walked closer to Zhao Dechang, changed his expression, and said with a smile: "Your Highness came to see me, I'm afraid there are other reasons.  Do you have something to explain?"

    ¡°It¡¯s true that nothing can be hidden from your eyes!¡± Zhao Dechang smiled and stood.He turned around and said to Yang Rong: "General Yang, can you take me with you on this expedition?"

    "Now that Your Highness is the Crown Prince, how can you still go out with the army?" As soon as Zhao Dechang made this request, Yang Rong waved his hand towards him and said, "Your Highness, the assassination of King Xu has just passed, and His Majesty needs His Highness to accompany him.  His Highness Shi must never leave Tokyo."

    "Why?" When Yang Rong said this, Zhao Dechang was a little confused. He tilted his head and said to Yang Rong: "The general asked me to take care of my father's worries earlier, but why doesn't he let me leave Tokyo now?"

    "This is the time, the other!" Yang Rong said to Zhao Dechang with a smile on his face: "When His Royal Highness King Xu was still there, His Highness had not become the crown prince. It was precisely to avoid the limelight and not to let his family be at the forefront. It is different now.  , His Royal Highness King Xu is no longer here, it is the time for His Highness to stay with His Majesty to fulfill his filial piety, His Highness must not leave Tokyo at this time."

    After hearing what Yang Rong said, the expression on Zhao Dechang's face was somewhat disappointed, but he could still clearly discern the urgency of the matter. He was silent for a moment, nodded, and said to Yang Rong: "What the general said is true. Since  In this way, I will not leave Tokyo and just stay with my father."

    "Don't disobey His Majesty's wishes!" Yang Rong nodded and said to Zhao Dechang: "Any father hopes that his son will be obedient and filial. There is no need to tell His Highness about this in the future."

    "Thank you, General Yang!" Zhao Dechang cupped his hands towards Yang Rong, bowed deeply, and said to Yang Rong: "General Yang saved my prince's life earlier, but he never thanked me. Today, General Yang, please accept my thanks."  A bow."

    "Your Highness!" Yang Rong quickly stepped forward to support Zhao Dechang and said to him: "Your Highness will be a person of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future. How can I bear this worship? Please take care of your Highness. I will let Chen Rui  Bring someone with you to escort His Highness back to your home!" (To be continued.
