Chapter 421: The Emperor's Mind

The accidentality of war was once again proved in Le'an.

When Li Hai was fleeing and was exhausted, he never thought that he would have played a role in a battle of tens of thousands of people. He originally wanted to sneak attack this small county town and get some food to allow his hundreds of brothers to survive for a while. As for the future, he had no consideration at all.

Life has become a problem, so where can I still have the time to think about the future?

It's just a day of life.

But life is always willing to praise those who are unwilling to give up. Li Hai, who lives hard and stubbornly, is finally rewarded with great rewards.

If he is willing to surrender, with his fame and ability, he will definitely be able to get a good position on Xuanwu. You must know that Li Hai is much more famous than Ge Fan, the navy general, in terms of status and fame. Even in Chang'an, Li Hai is very famous.

But he just didn't want to surrender and would rather hide in Tibet like a wild dog.

After Le'an's battle, Li Hai was liberated and he was in power.

Nearly 5,000 people surrendered to the Shen Ce army who were defeated in Zhaoyi under the guidance of Li Hai.

Liu Ruyan really hoped to take Li Hai back to Wuyi. Generals like Li Hai naturally liked it, but Liu Ruyan didn't like these Shen Ce Army of Le'an.

Zhaoyi was defeated and surrendered to Xuanwu.

Le'an was defeated and surrendered to Li Hai.

In Liu Ruyan's view, this is just a few impermanent and unsustainable troops. What's more, their combat effectiveness makes Liu Ruyan disdainful.

Zhu Youwen's defeat was attributed to Li Hai's shocking arrow, but 20% or 30% were due to the weakness of these Shen Ce troops, and they had no intention of fighting at all.

Although he won the Battle of Le'an, Liu Ruyan knew very well that there would be greater challenges waiting for them next. In Luzhou, Tian Yue's troops were still blocking them. Behind him, the emperor would definitely not hide it from them for long. At that time, Xuanwu and Zhu Wen would definitely follow him like a mad dog.

Although Liu Ruyan also knew very well that her husband Li Ze was already dispatching troops to greet her, hard battles were inevitable. The soldiers were not many. In Liu Ruyan's view, these Divine Army were some unstable factors. If they brought them with them, it is very likely that they would collapse again at the most critical moment at some point in the future.

Rather than doing this, it’s better not to want them!

Liu Ruyan told Li Hai straightforwardly about her thoughts. Of course, she concealed the news that the emperor was in her army at this moment. If Li Hai did not follow them, he would not be able to tell him this news.

But Li Hai didn't think so.

"Madam, the Shence Army is not without combat effectiveness." Li Hai said seriously: "At least when we left Tongguan and started this battle, they were full of confidence. However, Zhaoyi's battle situation was too unexpected. No matter who it was, when facing such a situation, he lost all his faith and became a walking corpse. It was not surprising that he just lived for the sake of living. Even if I were like this, wasn't that the same?"

Liu Ruyan frowned and said nothing.

Gongsun Changming was slightly moved.

Tuhu sighed.

"If they can see hope and target, these people can be re-inspired." Li Hai said: "Madam, if they give up on them like this, they have no way out and they can only collapse. Some people will become bandits, poison the people, and cause harm to one side. Some will die in obscurity and become starving people on the roadside. And more people will surrender to Xuanwu again and become their accomplices. Instead of doing so, why not give them a chance? Or they will become real warriors. Li Hai is willing to lead the wife to drive forward and fight a bloody way for his wife to return to Wuyi."

Li Hai stood up and bowed to the ground, but couldn't get up for a long time.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and the cicada walked in and whispered a few words in Liu Ruyan's ear. Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded, and said, "General Li, Mr. Gongsun and I want to discuss this matter again. Can you sit here for a while?"

Li Hai repeatedly said yes.

Liu Ruyan and Gongsun Changming stood up and walked out.

"Master Tu, take good care of General Li for me." Liu Ruyan threw down this sentence and hurriedly left with Gongsun Changming.

Just now, Xiao Chan came in, but the emperor sent a message to Liu Ruyan.

"What is the emperor trying to do?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "The emperor followed us this time because he was helpless. In our army, he only had more than a hundred personal bodyguards and a few eunuchs and palace maids. He was afraid he had never felt so uneasy in his life. But he had no choice. Now, if he had the opportunity to come to the door, how could he let it go?"

Liu Ruyan suddenly realized, "You mean the emperor has fallen in love with Li Hai and these Shen Ce Army?"

Gongsun Changming nodded and said, "That's true. These god-making soldiers were all the personal soldiers of the emperor before. How could the emperor not be moved when he saw these people?"

"What do you say sir?"

"If the emperor can inspire these people's fighting spirit, it would be okay to bring them with him!" Gongsun Changming said with a smile.

Liu Ruyan lowered her voice and asked, "Sir, will you add trouble to the big affairs of Lang Jun after bringing these people to Wuyi?"

Gongsun Changming smiled: "Wuwei is a big dye vat. No matter who falls into this dye vat, it will be painted with a strong Wuwei color. The wife did not see the ten thousand Shence troops brought by Xue Ping. Although there is only less than half of them, her recognition of Wuwei is far greater than that of their recognition of Chang'an."

"In this way, these thousands of Shen Ce troops will be like this in the future!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

"Let's wait and see!" Gongsun Changming was full of confidence.

Among the emperor's tent, only the queen and the minister Tian Lingzi were there. The strong smell of medicine lingered in the tent. Because he was worried that he would get sick and to the crown prince Li Ke, Li Yan sent the crown prince Li Ke to Mrs. Wang and took care of him with Li Ze's son.

In fact, Li Yan was not unaware that if he really arrived at an extremely dangerous moment, I was afraid that these five thousand Niu Guards and these black armored knights would definitely regard protecting Mrs. Wang and Li Ze's son as their top priority, rather than rank him as the emperor first.

It is an excellent excuse to place the Crown Prince Li Kezi where Mrs. Wang is afraid of being sick.

The imperial doctor could not find the specific reason for Li Yan's illness, but it could only be attributed to heart disease, which left the imperial doctor helpless. Today, the emperor's complexion looked much better.

Either this victory made him happy, or he saw the surrender of thousands of Shen Ce troops again, giving him some confidence.

"Madam Li, General Gongsun." Li Yan leaned halfway over the blanket, and the queen sat behind him and became the emperor's back cushion.

"Your Majesty is in a great mood today, which is a great joy." Liu Ruyan wore armor and bowed to the emperor like a general.

"Mrs. Today's majesty has opened my eyes." Li Yan smiled and said, "Don't you know I can meet Li Hai?"

Liu Ruyan was stunned and immediately realized the emperor's intention. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty is the supreme. If you want to see, you will naturally see whoever you want. But at the moment, does Your Majesty confirm that Li Hai is trustworthy? What you have in our army is still a secret. General Qin is still in Tongguan, just to cover up this matter?"

"It won't be covered for long, sooner or later." Li Yan said with a wry smile: "I heard that General Li Haili has taken over many Shen Ce Army who surrendered to Xuanwu, and also heard the servants say that these Shen Ce Army are so unbearable. But I still want to work hard, or can these Shen Ce Army rekindle their combat effectiveness when they see me? How might they be when they left Tongguan!"

Liu Ruyan and Gongsun Changming looked at each other, and Gongsun Changming nodded slightly.

A moment later, Li Hai stepped into this big tent.

He saw Li Yan sitting in the middle of the tent at a glance.

He widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. He rubbed his eyes vigorously before confirming that he was not wrong.

With a loud bang, he knelt down in front of Li Yan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you here? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Fu..." Li Hai said in a silence, and at the end, he burst into tears.

Li Yan was speechless, just accompanied Li Hai to cry silently.

Liu Ruyan and Gongsun Changming looked at each other, bowed and left the tent. At this time, I guess the emperor was going to play alone with Li Hai. Everyone is smart, so there is no need to get in the way here.

Xiaochan brought the baby from Mrs. Wang. Liu Ruyan held the child in her arms and teased her with a smile. Only in her limited leisure time can she get close to the child.

"Sir, Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Everything is good!" Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "If it can really add thousands of new forces, that's a good thing."

"Your Majesty is suspicious of your husband!" Liu Ruyan was a little dissatisfied.

"This is human nature." Gongsun Changming smiled: "It doesn't matter how the overall situation is."

"Will Li Hai become an obstacle in the future?"
