Chapter 1191 Requesting a Battle

The generals for the expedition have been determined, the troops and horses have been determined, and the strategy for the expedition has been repeatedly discussed. The entire Tang Dynasty is running like a rigorous machine. Huangfu Chaobo no longer needs to take care of the next thing. He just The general direction needs to be determined, and the next thing is to be led by the Prime Minister and the Lieutenant, who will lead other ministers to make arrangements. As the king's orders came out one after another from the palace, the entire Tang Kingdom began to move quietly.

First, the armies of Henan and Yanzhou began to gather and secretly entered a state of war readiness. Then, two days later, on the evening of the 17th, 10,000 Iron Eagle warriors boarded a navy ship at the dock outside the south gate of Luoyang and quietly headed east of the river. These 10,000 iron eagle warriors, together with the 15,000 soldiers commanded by Tian Yu, will serve as troops entering Shangdang from the Baixing Ancient Road, raid Gaoping Pass, and then proceed to capture the county seat of Xuans.

After occupying the county seat of Xuanshi, the army divided into two groups. They went south to attack Gaodu and Tianjingguan, and assisted most of the Tang army in Hanoi to enter the Shangdang Basin. The other group of troops went north to attack the eldest son, before the Zhao army could react. The capture of Shangdang County was also the strongest city in the Shangdang Basin. Once Changzi City was captured, it meant that the entire Shangdang was under the control of the Tang army.

The rest of the army quietly set out from Luoyang at the appropriate time, crossed the river, entered Hanoi, and then waited for the outbreak of war.

After arranging the war, Huangfu Chaobo returned to the palace and used this short period of time to rest. After the war broke out, he had no time to rest properly.

On this day, Huangfu Chaobo was playing with his son and daughter in the harem when he suddenly heard a report from the chamberlain: "Your Majesty, Huangfu Li is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

"Huh? Who is it?" Huangfu Chaobo didn't react for a while and asked back;

The chamberlain quickly took two steps forward and reported again: "Returning to the king is Huangfu Li, the eldest son of General Huangfu Li."

Although Huangfu Chaobo found it strange that although Huangfuli had been in Luoyang, because he was already seventeen years old, he rarely came to the palace to ask for permission. After all, he was an adult and it was inconvenient to enter and leave the forbidden palace. However, although Huangfu Chaobo was strange, he still ordered someone to take him to the back garden to meet him.

After a while, Huangfuli entered the back garden under the guidance of the chamberlain. When he saw Huangfu Chaobo sitting in the pavilion, he quickly walked a few steps and walked to Huangfu Chaobo. He knelt down respectfully and said: "My nephew pays homage to his uncle!"

"Get up, what do you want to do when you enter the palace this time?" Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand;

"Thank you uncle, my nephew really wants to ask his uncle for something when he comes to the palace this time." After saying this, he gently took a few steps forward, walked to Huangfu Chaobo, and whispered: "My nephew wants to ask my uncle for something." , When I go on an expedition this year, I will take my nephew with me.”

"Huh?!" Huangfu Chaobo was startled, his eyes widened, he looked at Huangfu and said politely: "Where did you know that Guhui will lead the army to go on an expedition this year?"

"Plop!" When Huangfu Chaobo glared at him, Huangfuli was so frightened that he couldn't stand still. He suddenly fell to his knees and said repeatedly: "My nephew is not hearing about the uncle's wrathful crime, but...and Yes...but my nephew inferred it himself based on the movements of the court in the past few days...the movements..."

"Haha..." Huangfu Chaobo smiled instead of being angry. He knew how much his nephew weighed. Huangfu Song once said that the Huangfu family is now worse than the last generation. Several of his nephews are He is a talented person. If he can deduce this conclusion from the movements of some people and materials in the court, his intelligence has reached the level of 80 or so.

In ancient my country, a man's adulthood was usually twenty years old, and then he could be called a true adult. However, from ancient times to the present, there is a saying that a man becomes sixteen, so in games, sixteen years old is generally considered as adulthood. After he became a adult at the age of sixteen, his data could already be seen, and it was basically finalized. Of course, this only meant that his growth potential was basically finalized.

Now Huangfuli is seventeen years old.

Huangfu Chaobo has already seen his surrounding statistics: command 70, force 61, intelligence 45, internal affairs 32. It can be said to be terrible. If he can see such important things from these clues, he will be killed. Even Huangfu Chaobo wouldn't believe it.

Huangfu Chaobo stared at Huangfu Li and said word by word: "How dare you deceive me?"

While speaking powerfully to Huangfu Li, Huangfu Chaobo was thinking about who was instigating him to come to request him. If this person had evil intentions, he would not be able to deal with this person easily, or even in the most extreme way. It is possible to kill this person directly. Of course, if he has no evil intentions, he can really be cultivated.

Huangfu Li was only seventeen years old. Among those of his age, Zaoping and Dianman had already served as officials in Yanbei County. Following them should be Zhou Cang's eldest son Zhou Chun and Zhang He's eldest son Zhang Xiong. I am quite reassured by the command and strength of these two people, but if they are said to be outstanding in intelligence, Huangfu Chaobo does not believe it.

Suddenly, Huangfu Chaobo thought of a person, that is, a talent he found among the craftsmen in Luoyang, and a person he had carefully cultivated with his subordinates over the years-Hao Zhao. Yes, it must be him. In history, Hao Zhao was a general who was both civil and military. He could lead troops on horseback and manage the people on foot. He was also intelligent. He had always arranged for Lou Gui, Zao Zhi, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yun to teach him. If I remember correctly, Hao Zhao should be about the same age as Huangfu Li. It should be that they talked about this during the chat, so Huangfu Li asked to go to the battle.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Huangfu Li calmly again. Now he was like a frightened quail, huddled there and trembling, but his eyes were full of stubbornness. You know, deceiving the emperor is a serious crime, but although Huangfu Li was afraid, he was still holding on.

After staring at Huangfu Li for a long time, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly said, "Tell me, who asked you to come? Was it Hao Zhao, Zhang Xiong or Zhou Bing? Or did all three of them instigate you to come?"

"No one instigated my nephew, this was all my own idea!" Although Huangfu Li was sweating profusely, he still did not change his words.

"Bang..." Huangfu Chaobo slammed the stone table in front of him and shouted angrily, "Do you really think I don't want to deal with you?"

As he said, he turned his head and looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Come here, tell the chief Huangfu Jianshou to come to the palace to see me, and tell the lieutenant Huang Wudie to arrest Zhou Bing, Hao Zhao and Zhang Xiong. Today I want to see, if the yellow-mouthed scholar dares to discuss state affairs and instigate the royal children, it will be lawless if he is not severely punished..."
