Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Li Er sat on the side, covering his forehead with one hand, looking very headache.

He raised his head from time to time, either to look at the old coaches, or at Liu Bai, hoping that they could come up with a good idea.

It's a pity that the old coaches couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

There are 60 standing soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. If you add the veterans who are usually farming and the twelve guards, it is enough to gather a million people!

But no matter how many people there are, it is impossible to send them all to the Western Regions at once.

Even if all the countries in the Western Regions are destroyed, it is also meaningless.

Li Chengqian was too far away.

out of reach

Empress Changsun has always been in the apse.

She crouched on the porch of the apse and antechamber, never showing her face.

No one is more worried about Li Chengqian than her.

But she knew very well that showing up at this time would not have any effect.

On the contrary, it might be bad.

This woman is extremely smart and knows what she should do and what she shouldn't do.

In desperation, she had no choice but to ask the eunuch and maid to prepare refreshments.

The moment the hot tea and snacks were placed on the table, Liu Bai suddenly stood up.

Li Er suddenly raised his head.

The eyes of many old handsome men were cast over at this moment.

On the porch, Empress Changsun felt as if someone had grabbed her heart, stood on tiptoe, bit her lower lip, and waited for Liu Bai's words.

"The imperial army can't move, Chengqian Liu will rescue him!"

Not only Li Er and the old handsome present, but even the Empress Changsun in the distance changed their expressions drastically!

Li Er subconsciously shouted: "It's absolutely impossible!"

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward abruptly, and said, "Under thousands of troops, how could they be fooling around?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and knelt down to Li Er with a 'plop'.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to take Liu Bai's place and go deep into the Western Regions to rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Er clenched his fists tightly, his voice almost came from between his teeth.

"None of you can go to die!"

Everyone knew very well that no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, it was impossible to go deep into the Western Regions with [-] troops.

If 10 people go, it means that there are millions of people, as the rear, responsible for the logistics.

To put it bluntly, even if the queen is deeply trapped in the Western Regions, it is impossible for civil and military officials to agree to pay such a high price to rescue her.

Including Fang Xuanling and the others, they will also not agree!

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

If one fails, the chaos in the Western Regions will affect the overall situation.

It's okay to say that the small country is ready to move.

Once the power of the Tang Dynasty is exhausted and the army is sent to the Western Regions, will the surrounding big countries watch?

Tubo, Tianzhu, and the newly-appeared Tiele tribes are all hungry and red-eyed wolves!

In that case, it will only pay a higher price.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether Li Chengqian can be rescued in time.

They also know that only a small group of people, traveling to the Western Regions in light clothes, will have a chance of survival

But what is the difference between going and dying?

Most likely, he couldn't save Li Chengqian, and had to put himself on the line.

Qu Tutong, Yuchi Jingde, etc., the veterans who had never known Cheng Yaojin and Liu Bai, walked forward without saying a word, and knelt at Li Er's feet.

Qin Qiong was in poor health, but still gritted his teeth and walked up to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is useless. I would like to leave this old life in the Western Regions for the sake of the crown prince. Therefore, the old minister is the most suitable candidate!"

Li Er's face was ashen.

For a while, he was speechless.

Li Jing and the others who did not stand up looked at each other in blank dismay.

Liu Bai said with all expressions on his face: "When you were discussing just now, Liu also heard a few words. If you want to give Chengqian a chance, the number of people should not exceed five thousand, Wei Gong, right?"

Li Jing lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Liu Bai's eyes.

He just said in a muffled voice, "Yes."

Liu Bai nodded, and walked over to help Qin Qiong up.

"Liu Bai!"

Qin Qiong stubbornly refused to retreat.

No matter what he said, Liu Bai forced Qin Qiong to sit on the chair.

Then, he helped Cheng Yaojin and the others up one by one.

Finally, he raised three fingers in front of Li Er.

"3000 people, I only need 3000 people, enough to save Chengqian!"

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth, but still sighed, and slapped himself on the face.

No one spoke.

Li Er stared at Liu Bai for a long time, and said: "Liu Bai, I called you here to give you an idea, not to wipe your ass for the court's negligence."

Liu Bai smiled casually, and said, "I also participated in Gao Changguo's plan, so it's okay to wipe my ass."

Li Er shook his head and turned his back.

"I know you have a lot of abilities, but as Zhijie said, war is not a joke. If something happens to you, how will I explain to your two wives? How to explain to the Supreme Emperor?!"

Liu Bai looked at a certain point on the sand table.

"I buried some things in Mobei, and I wanted to use them in a few years. Maybe, it's time to use them now."

Li Er suddenly turned his head.

Cheng Yaojin and other senior officers also raised their heads abruptly.

Liu Bai smiled and said: "Besides, the Military Academy has researched something new, 3000 people are enough."

At night, the Liu family mansion was full of chaos.

Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er locked themselves in the room, didn't eat dinner, and refused to open the door.

After Li Yuan scolded Liu Bai angrily, he dragged old lady Wan into the palace, saying that he wanted to beat Li Er.

After hearing that Li Chengqian was deeply trapped in the Western Regions, Wu Shun sat under the tree in the yard and wept silently.

A group of children were laughing heartlessly.

The two younger brothers Li You are playing games, deciding who will follow Liu Bai to the Western Regions to meet the world.

Li Tai and Li Ke were whispering, probably thinking about how to follow Liu Bai secretly.

Dugu Mou, Liu Hui, and Wang Chen, the three younger ones, didn't learn much in the academy, so they chattered around Liu Bai and wanted to go to the Western Regions to see and see.

The quarrel was really a headache, so Liu Bai simply didn't stay in the room anymore.

He ran to the east courtyard, Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er's room, intending to persuade the two wives.

As soon as the door was opened, Liu Rong'er burst into tears and threw herself into Liu Bai's arms.

Liu Wan'er was similar, she just threw herself into Liu Bai's arms because of embarrassment.

"Husband, no one goes to that ghostly place in the Western Regions. You are a scholar, why do you suddenly want to lead the army?"

Hearing the word 'scholar', Liu Bai burst out laughing.

"Chengqian is about to be surrounded to death, why don't you hurry up and save him?"

Liu Wan'er's teardrops fell down patter.

"There are so many old men in the court, why did you let you go?"

Liu Bai smiled and took Liu Wan'er over.

"Husband, I went to the Western Regions to make a fortune. Saving Chengqian is just a matter of chance. There is no need to worry."

Chapter 898 Being an emperor is hard, isn't Zen a position?

After comforting the two wives, he made seven or eight vows in a row before Liu Bai came out.

When he came to the front yard, he saw Li Yuan leading Mrs. Wan back.

Neither of them gave Liu Bai any good looks.

He snorted heavily, and went back to his small yard.

Liu Bai touched his nose, shook his head helplessly, and led 'Dabai' into the palace for the second time today.

Went to Zichen Palace and found that Li Er was not there.

After asking the eunuch, I found out that Li Er went to Xuanzheng Hall.

Liu Bai turned his horse's head and came to the Xuanzheng Palace again.

As soon as he entered, Liu Bai was overjoyed.

In Xuanzheng Hall, Li Er was the only one.

He was sitting on the steps under the dragon chair, holding the wine jar in a dejected manner, drinking one sip at a time.

Liu Bai didn't say anything, sat beside Li Er, and snatched the wine jar from his hand.

Li Er looked up at Liu Bai, and took another sip of wine.

"Tell me, am I a good emperor?"

Liu Bai shook his head naturally.

Strictly speaking, Li Er is really not a good emperor.

He worked hard to govern, most of which were forced by the civil and military ministers.

He made countless meritorious deeds, mostly because of his great success.

To say that he conquered foreign races and won a sigh of relief for the Han people is not a decent Han person at all.

He is a proud man.

But this pride does not come from the fact that he created the Great Tang Empire and the prosperity of Zhenguan.

It came from the fact that he succeeded in rebelling!

Being an emperor can only be regarded as a hobby, or a face project.

Rebellion is the most perfect main career in his heart.

To put it bluntly, this guy is a traitor at heart.

Sometimes, even in dreams, I create my own rebellion.

I have nothing to do, so I wrote a book "Emperor Model", asking my descendants to be emperors according to the rules in the book.

Whether he does it himself or not is another matter.

From this perspective, Qin Huang Han Wu may not be a good emperor.

People have selfishness, and Liu Bai didn't know what Qinhuang Hanwu's selfishness was.

Li Er's selfishness is like a bright mirror in his heart.
