Chapter 156

Li Er muttered in a low voice, even feeling some anticipation in his heart.

He wished the Turkic army would defeat Great Qin so he could see Qin Mu's frustrated and dejected look.

By then, I will mock him properly!

"Your Majesty is right; Turkic cavalry and the Tibetan army are indeed not to be mentioned in the same breath."

"Tibet is located on a plateau and has never had any natural enemies; their combat ability and soldier quality are still stuck in the past few hundred years."

"But the Turks are born warriors; they are civilians when they dismount and soldiers when they mount. Their combat power is quite terrifying."

"This time, Qin Mu will have a hard time."

Fang Xuanling nodded in deep agreement.

Although he had seen how terrifying Qin Mu's army was, the opponent was, after all, the weak Tibet.

And 300,000 Turkic cavalry is no joke!

Their combat power is not just 300,000; coupled with the impact of cavalry and their innate control over warhorses, the combat power of 300,000 Turkic cavalry is almost equivalent to 500,000 or even 600,000 Great Tang troops!

With such terrifying and shocking combat power, Qin Mu actually dares to face them head-on.

Isn't this just seeking death?

"It's a pity this brat is so cunning; he brought both you and me along, so there is no way to slip away and report to the Great Tang."

"Otherwise, it could indeed be as this brat said; we could have taken advantage of the emptiness of their southeastern defense line to launch a sneak attack."

Li Er gnashed his teeth in frustration.

This was truly a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

And it was missed just like that!

Good brat!

You are truly cunning!

"Sigh! Your Majesty, as the saying goes, when the moon is full, it wanes; when water is full, it overflows. Qin Mu is near-demonic in intelligence, but he might be too arrogant."

"Perhaps this battle with the Turks is the beginning of his failure."

Thinking that Qin Mu might be defeated and die, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Why?"

"Do you think it's a pity for him?"

Li Er looked at Qin Mu's receding back and muttered.

"Your Majesty, forgive me; although Qin Mu is flamboyant and reckless, he has always treated me well. Moreover, such a stunning youth is probably not seen once in a few hundred years." Fang Xuanling nodded, not lying.

It is indeed a pity!

Such a stunning youth—if he dies on the battlefield, how can one not feel regret?

"Don't I feel it's a pity?"

"Do you think I am naturally cold-blooded?"

"If such a stunning youth were used by my Great Tang, how good would that be."

"Pity! If he doesn't die, he will eventually become a disaster for my Great Tang."

"Heaven does not grant time; I don't know how long I can live. I can only do it within the limited time..."

Li Er was also quite emotional.

He could be considered a heroic ruler; how could he not cherish talent?

Pity that fate plays tricks!

To pave the way for Cheng'er's future, this disaster must not be left behind!

Li Er and Qin Mu are destined to become mortal enemies.

This is destined by Heaven; no one can change it.

Perhaps in the near future.

The protagonist of this life-and-death battlefield will become himself and Qin Mu.

This is all destined!

"Sigh!"

Thinking of Li Chengqian's fat, simple-minded appearance, Fang Xuanling had thousands of words stuck in his chest.

In Li Chengqian's hands.

The Great Tang...

... can't say it, can't explain it, only turning into a sigh.

Is there still a future?

Changancheng, Zhao Duke Prefecture.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian was walking toward the main hall with a servant.

As always, he was timid and lacked the demeanor of an emperor.

Ever since being threatened by Zhangsun Wuji, Li Chengqian's days had become much harder.

In the past.

He was the Crown Prince of the Great Tang, above everyone else!

He did whatever he wanted.

Apart from Li Er and Empress Zhangsun, no one dared to restrain him in the slightest.

And precisely because of Li Er and Empress Zhangsun's infinite doting.

Li Chengqian only knew how to eat, drink, and play, doing whatever was comfortable.

He didn't care about national affairs or court politics at all.

But now.

Under Zhangsun Wuji's coercion and inducement, Li Chengqian had to go back and forth among civil and military officials every day.

Mentally exhausted!

But there was no choice!

If he wanted to continue living a life of luxury, he had to do as Zhangsun Wuji intended.

After a short while.

Li Chengqian arrived in the main hall.

Zhangsun Wuji was sitting inside, drinking tea slowly, looking very comfortable.

Zhangsun Chong was also sitting on the side.

Seeing Zhangsun Wuji, Li Chengqian hurriedly ran in and respectfully called out: "Uncle!"

"Crown Prince, you are here?"

"How did the matter go?"

Zhangsun Wuji also nodded with a smile.

"According to Uncle's instructions, people from the prefecture have already been planted in the guards of Changancheng, and in various official positions, most have also been filled with children of our Zhangsun family."

Li Chengqian didn't dare to hesitate and stated the results of his past few days, his tone carrying a sense of pride.

Even though he was a teenager, his way of thinking was like that of a four or five-year-old child.

It was as if he expected a reward after doing something.

"Heh!"

Zhangsun Chong, sitting on the side, saw Li Chengqian's emotional change and couldn't help but sneer.

"Very good!"

"In this way, even if the Emperor knows something in Tibet, he can't do anything to me."

Zhangsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction.

Ever since Li Er disguised himself as a mission to Tibet, Zhangsun Wuji had been working overtime to deploy his plan.

According to his plan, he wanted to control the entire capital as soon as possible!

Of course.

This kind of control didn't mean he wanted to rebel immediately, but to master the vast majority of the power within it.

....... Seeking flowers... 0

How cunning is Zhangsun Wuji?

How could he not know that rebellion is a dead end?

But what Zhangsun Wuji wanted to do was not rebellion!
