    Chapter 292 Li Zhi goes to war

    Although Li Shimin summoned Li Zhen, he had changed his mind.

    Although he also explained the situation of Tuyuhun's invasion to Li Zhen, he said in an irrefutable tone: "You have been fighting for many years, which is too hard. I have ordered the king of Jin to be the commander and go to Tuyuhun. This time, you will be in Chang'an."  Handle political affairs well to prepare for governing the Tang Dynasty in the future."

    Li Shimin¡¯s words are very good. In everyone¡¯s understanding, Li Shimin left Li Zhen to handle political affairs in Chang¡¯an in order to better take over the Tang Dynasty.

    But Li Zhen is not a fool, and she naturally understands the pros and cons of success and failure. This time she sent Li Zhi to fight Tuyuhun. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with it. In fact, it was clearly because his father did not trust him.

    The master is shocked by his great achievements!

    It seems that his contribution has been so great that the emperor has doubts about himself. This situation is very similar to that of more than 20 years ago.

    At that time, Li Shimin was just the king of Qin and continued to make military exploits, while the great ancestor Li Yuan only sat in the court. So everyone knew that it was Li Shimin who conquered the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin's prestige was close to that of Li Yuan. In the end, Li Shimin also launched  A coup d'¨¦tat ousted Li Yuan from power, Li Yuan became the Supreme Emperor, and Li Shimin became the master of the Tang Dynasty.

    Li Shimin is afraid that he will be the second him.

    In Li Shimin's heart, he was too similar to him, so this made him have great worries in his heart. He was afraid that he would imitate him and launch a Xuanwu Sect incident to oust him and seize the Tang Dynasty.  country.

    Li Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Li Shimin once thought about abdicating the throne and giving the throne to himself, but now, his attitude has made a 180-degree turn. This change is too big. It seems that there must be someone behind it to influence and  It changed Li Shimin's mind, and this person was probably the mastermind lurking behind against him.

    This person had such a great influence on Li Shimin because he was one of those important ministers. Li Zhen had already guessed some clues.

    Although he really does not have such thoughts, it does not mean that Li Shimin has no worries. Now he can only put his tail between his legs and manage the government in Chang'an well in order to reduce Li Shimin's doubts about him and prevent his opponents hiding behind the scenes.  A bigger opportunity to take advantage of.

    Precisely because he had figured this out, Li Zhen just said to Li Shimin: "The King of Jin Yingwu, I think he will be able to defeat Tuyuhun and make contributions to the Tang Dynasty."

    Seeing what Li Zhen said, Li Shimin was very happy, and his doubts about Li Zhen were dispelled a lot.  Instead, I felt a little guilty in my heart, thinking that I had wronged Zhen'er this time.

    Li Zhi failed to catch the traitor and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion with a disappointed look. Not two hours later, he heard an imperial edict coming from the palace.

    Li Zhi received the imperial edict and saw that it was Li Shimin who asked him to lead the expedition to Tuyuhun. Li Zhi was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground.

    Li Zhi is a cowardly man. The last time he was asked to attack Xue Yantuo, he didn't have the courage to go. What's more, this time he went to attack Tuyuhun. The Qinghai area where Tuyuhun was located was a plateau. This was definitely a punishing mission, and he had never fought before.  After the war, why did the emperor let himself lead the troops to fight Tuyuhun?

    Li Zhi was so anxious that he almost cried. At this time, Xue Jieyu came out and said to the father-in-law who delivered the order: "My father-in-law went back and told the emperor that His Highness the King of Jin is leading the army. The military situation is urgent. We will raise troops and leave tomorrow."

    When Li Zhi heard this, he was anxious to say something, but Xue Jieyu winked at Li Zhi and stopped him from talking, and asked someone to reward the father-in-law who passed the order.

    Seeing that the father-in-law who delivered the order left, Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Why did my grandmother ask me to take this job? How can I win any war?"

    Xue Jieyu said: "Since the Emperor has asked people to convey the decree instead of asking His Highness to go to discuss it, it means that the Emperor has made up his mind. Since His Highness cannot change the Emperor's decision, it is better to go with the flow. Perhaps, this is His Highness  A turning point."

    "A turning point?" Li Zhi was stunned.

    Xue Jieyu said: "In the past few years, the prince has been leading troops to fight abroad, and he has made great contributions. It seems that his achievements have shocked the master, which aroused the emperor's suspicion. The emperor wanted to give His Highness an opportunity to make meritorious deeds in order to distinguish him from the prince."  The power allows His Highness and the Crown Prince to restrain each other, so that the throne can be held more firmly."

    "Since the Emperor intends to promote His Highness to the throne, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for His Highness. As long as His Highness wins this battle, there may not be a chance to replace the Crown Prince." Xue Jieyu said.

    Li Zhi's heart moved. Ever since his eldest son Wuji supported him and excluded Li Zhen, he had an irreconcilable conflict with Li Zhen. As a legitimate son, he became an ordinary vassal king, while Li Zhen, a bastard, became a vassal king.  Prince, ?But everyone in the world has laughed at him.

    More importantly, if Li Zhen becomes emperor, his fate will be very tragic.

    Thinking of this, Li Zhi thought that maybe this was his only chance to change his destiny. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he would have no future and would be stepped on by Li Zhen forever.

    "Your Highness, you must make up your mind. This is your only chance to turn things around." Xue Jieyu said.

    ¡°Your Highness, you can¡¯t hesitate any longer!¡±

    "But will General Xue Wanche and Consort Chai Lingwu help me?" Li Zhi was still hesitant.

    "Your Highness, Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu are outside the door asking for an audience." A servant outside the door said.

    "Haha, great things have happened! Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu must be here to express their loyalty to His Highness." Xue Jieyu became a little excited.

    "Okay, then let's meet?" Li Zhi looked at Xue Jieyu with some uncertainty.

    "Let General Xue and Consort Chai come in." Xue Jieyu said loudly.

    After a while, Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu came to Li Zhi. They both bowed to Li Zhi at the same time and said, "We are willing to follow His Highness the King of Jin to the death!"

    Seeing this scene, Li Zhi also became energetic and courageous, and said: "Please stand up, if you two help me, I will achieve great things!"

    Li Zhi left Chang'an very quickly. Early the next morning, he had led more than a dozen of the most elite soldiers and horses of the Central Army of the Tang Dynasty to leave Chang'an. On the way, soldiers and horses from all walks of life gradually joined him. In everyone's eyes,  Li Zhi couldn't wait to make contributions.

    The fact is indeed the case. Under the encouragement of everyone, Li Zhi actually changed his usual cowardly attitude and left Chang'an with his head held high, looking somewhat high-spirited.

    Li Zhen was a little worried about this. The overall combat effectiveness of the Tuyuhun army was not very strong. Its most elite troops had been defeated by Li Zhen in Xueyantuo. In other words, the Tuyuhun army that Li Zhi encountered could only be Tuyuhun's second-rate troops.  .

    With the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty¡¯s elite central army and border troops, their numerical superiority, and the assistance of famous generals such as Xue Wanche, victory in the battle against Tuyuhun is probably a certainty.

    In the future structure of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi will rise strongly and compete with himself. His status as prince will also be seriously threatened.

    Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, Li Ji, Yuchi Gong and other veterans came to see Li Zhen and expressed their concerns. Among them, only Li Ji disagreed.

    Li Zhen was very puzzled. He had always known that Li Ji was resourceful and well-versed in both civil and military affairs. He was a famous wise man. What was his plan in mind?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
