Great Tang Southern Emperor

He was certainly terrified of the imperial court, but he hated the black hands behind the scenes who led all this. If it wasn't for the high price they offered to arouse his greed, how could he have ended up where he is now?At this point, if he wanted to save his life, the only way he could go was to rebel.

But before the rebellion, Hou Junji had a score to settle with some people—at least, for that bastard who led him to a dead end, Hou Junji had no intention of letting him go.

"General Hou, you are finally back. Congratulations, you made a correct decision." A handsome middle-aged man was brought to him by Hou Junji's personal soldiers. If Li Zhen could be here at this time, he should be able to Recognized, this middle-aged handsome guy is the owner of Cheng Jianxi Locke, who is also one of the two counselors around Li Chengke - Li Siqian.

"Hehehe..." Hou Junji sneered twice: "Is this your purpose? First of all, you deliberately used high prices to lure me into selling arms, and on the other side, you deliberately used my gun to assassinate the emperor, so that the emperor would know about my arms smuggling. , I was notified of this matter in time here again... It is really a good plan. From the beginning to the end, you only spent a little money. Not only did you get the arms you dreamed of, but you also forced me to turn against the court and had to go on the road of rebellion. Li Siqian, you guys are so bullying and tricking me time and time again, how do you think I should deal with you?"

"Hehe..." Li Siqian laughed twice, his forehead was densely covered with huge beads of sweat. According to all of them, this test was the most difficult to pass. After all, Hou Junji was not easy to get along with. Once he knew that he was being plotted against, Li Siqian's life as a hostage would not be guaranteed. However, if he could survive this test, the next thing would be much easier.

"General Hou, I think you can give me a chance to explain." Resisting Hou Junji's almost murderous gaze, Li Siqian fought for a glimmer of life for himself.

"Opportunity? Do you think I will give it to you?" Hou Junji pulled out the knife directly, and put it on Li Siqian's neck without hesitation.

Hou Junji didn't want to listen to Li Siqian's explanation at all. He knew how powerful Li Siqian's mouth was. When the two first met, Li Siqian proposed to buy arms, but Hou Junji flatly refused. The opening of his mouth and the high price he offered finally broke Hou Junji's defenses, and finally led him to a dead end.Now that Hou Junji wanted to kill Li Siqian to vent his anger, how could he give him a chance to convince himself?

"However, if I die, there is really no possibility of your grand plan to succeed." Li Siqian quickly explained: "If I don't die, you and our organization are connected. We have the same goal and have the same goal. As a middleman, we can cooperate completely, at least it is no problem to drive Datang away from this land. We have weakened Datang’s strength, and you have obtained the territory of Nanyang, so it is not the best of both worlds? Why bother? Has it ruined a good situation? Or, do you think you can beat Li Jing, or do you think the [-] elite soldiers under your command will be the opponent of the [-] young army?"

"...I! Really! Really! Very! Want! Tear! Rotten! You! This! Open! Mouth!" Hou Junji was silent for a moment, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart forcefully, and said word by word.

He had experienced a fierce battle in his heart just now, the knife in his hand was clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, but he finally put the knife back, even if he wished to tear Li Siqian's body to pieces, but at this moment He really didn't dare to kill Li Siqian.

Because Li Siqian really hit his most worried question this time, Hou Junji is indeed proud enough, but he also knows how much he weighs. Although he is very good at fighting, he is not the most powerful one in Tang Dynasty In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were many people who could guarantee to defeat him on the battlefield, at least Li Jing was definitely not comparable to him - because a considerable part of Hou Junji's art of war was entrusted to him by Li Jing.And he also knew very well that Li Jing was hiding his selfishness on this point, and the two had a very unpleasant quarrel because of this. Hou Junji even sued Li Shimin, falsely accusing Li Jing of rebellious intentions, but was killed by Li Jing, saying that he had the intention of rebellious , I was reprimanded by Li Shimin instead.

Because he had personally studied with Li Jing, Hou Junji knew exactly how strong Li Jing was - at least Hou Junji felt that he couldn't beat Li Jing.His greatest achievement in his life was nothing more than the extermination of Gaochang, and he was not rewarded for breaking the law.

And Li Jing not only made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty when the Tang Dynasty was first established (it is no exaggeration to say that Li Jing brought down one-third of the Tang Dynasty. The reason for believing—even the country was partly brought down by others. If they want to be self-reliant, they would have been self-reliant a long time ago. Now that the world is peaceful and the world is returning to their hearts, the rule of the Tang Dynasty is the most popular time. You rebelled at that time Didn’t he commit suicide? Even fools don’t believe it.) After the Tang Dynasty ruled the world, he fought countless victories. He destroyed the Eastern Turks and conquered Yuhun. In terms of ability, Hou Junji sent Li Jing Too far, too far, the two sides are basically not on the same level.

Chapter 911 Li Siqian's Arrangement

Chapter 271 Li Siqian's Arrangement

He is not as good as Li Jing than the general himself, as for the soldiers of both sides...

Not to mention, Hou Junji's mission is to guard Nanyang. Given the chaos in Nanyang, he wanted to suppress this place. Naturally, the elites of the Tang Dynasty led by Hou Junji, but still the same sentence, the elites are divided into grades...

As the general guarding Nanyang, Hou Junji had dealt with Li Zhen more than once. Naturally, he had seen the strength of the Youth Army. As for the impression, there was only one... that was terrifying, almost invincible...

Hou Junji has fought all his life, what kind of battle has he never seen?What kind of enemy has not been faced?However, after seeing the Boys' Army, they actually had the impression that they were incapable. It can be seen that the fighting power of the Boys' Army is indeed shockingly powerful.

Hou Junji used to be thankful that the Youth Army was his own, otherwise if the two sides were hostile, he really couldn't find a way to restrain himself...

However, he didn't expect that his assumptions would come true, and he would finally face off against the Boys' Army...

But whether it is Li Jing or the Youth Army, they are invincible existences. Now that the two are combined, if you want to let yourself fight, to be honest, Hou Junji really doesn't have any confidence...

Therefore, if he wanted to survive, or even separate Nanyang from Datang, and become king by himself, Hou Junji alone could not do it. At this time, he could only rely on external forces.

And Cheng Jianxi, who has a foundation for cooperation, is the best choice. After all, the goals of the two can be said to be very similar. Hou Junji's goal is to dominate Nanyang and become independent, while Cheng Jianxi's goal is to weaken Datang. Strength - as long as it can weaken Datang's strength, they can do anything, even if it is not good for them, but as long as it can reduce Datang's war potential, then they will not hesitate.

What's more, Hou Junji is not afraid that Cheng Jianxi will plot against him behind his back, because forcing himself to stand on his own is Cheng Jianxi's goal. At least until he repels Datang's attack, Cheng Jianxi will not turn against him, even In order to repel the Tang army, they must do their best to help themselves.

"Thank you, General Hou, for your mercy." Seeing Hou Jun collect the knife, Li Siqian could hardly stand still, touched the bloodstain on his neck, and his heart was still beating violently until now, but luckily After all, Hou Junji didn't kill him, the most dangerous hurdle has been passed, and the next step will be much easier.

"However, the Boys' Army is not easy to mess with. The first phase of them all fought in Nanyang and have rich experience in jungle warfare. Among them, the Changsheng Battalion entered Nanyang like a fish in water. Besides the Boys' Army, there is also Li Jing, who is also a An old fox on the battlefield, I am no match. And don't forget that this time Li Jing is also helped by Wei Zheng, this is not a simple person... With such a strong lineup, where do you have the confidence to defeat the Youth Army? "Thinking of the lineup of the Boys' Army this time, Hou Junji felt terrified. The Boys' Army itself was terrifyingly strong, and coupled with the two old foxes Li Jing and Wei Zheng, the combination of the two sides was almost invincible in the world, let alone him. There are 10 people, even if you give yourself another [-], you are definitely not an opponent.

With such a strong lineup, Cheng Jianxi is just an organization conspiring to seize the throne. Where do they have the confidence to defeat each other?By dreaming?

"Young Army is powerful, and Li Jing is also very powerful. The combination of the two sides is even more powerful. Let alone us, even in a large-scale national war battlefield, the Young Army can flatten any opponent. There is no point in that." Doubt, although we Chuncheng Jianxi is strong, it is not an opponent of the Boys' Army, let alone defeat them." Li Siqian can be said to be an old man who has fought against the Boys' Army several times. I have also met a few times, and I have a little understanding of the other party. In this regard, the evaluation is very pertinent, and I did not say any arrogant words-not to mention that the opposite party is Hou Junji who can take his life at any time. At that time, Li Siqian didn't dare to lie to him, otherwise, if he realized something was wrong, then he would really be able to kill.

"Then what do you mean?" Hou Junji's eyes narrowed. Those who are familiar with him know that this is a sign that he is about to kill someone. If Li Siqian doesn't give him a good explanation for his words, Hou Junji The next moment will definitely be violent and murderous.

Li Siqian was not nervous this time, because he obviously didn't finish his sentence, so he continued: "Don't worry, General Hou, the students haven't finished talking yet, the young army is invincible, let alone defeated, but this is not Said that we can't transfer the Youth Army back."

"What do you mean?" Hou Junji couldn't help but let go of the handle of the knife. Hou Junji frowned and said, "The Cuan people's rebellion has ended, and the finishing work can be left to Liuzhao. The Youth Army has no enemies in Lingnan. Don't you think so?" Can we still find an enemy for them?"

"I just helped the Youth Army find an enemy." Li Siqian smiled confidently: "You also said that the finishing work of the Cuanren rebellion was entrusted to Liuzhao, and after this Cuanren rebellion, the number of Han people in the rebellion area has already decreased. It has been reduced to a pitiful level. After the massacre of the Tang army, the Cuan people have also reached the point where they are almost extinct... That is to say, at this time, the territory of the Cuan people plus the six rebellious states is already a piece of white land, and It is still a piece of white land that is fatter than fat, and there is no Tang person at the end, if it were you, Hou Junji, would you have the idea of ​​taking a bite out of it, or even directly greedy this piece of land?"

"You mean, your Liuzhao also has internal arrangements?" Hou Junji asked in surprise, it seems that this is the only way to make Liuzhao rebel.

Li Siqian smiled coldly: "Of course, in fact, the inclusion of the Tang Dynasty in the Liuzhao was actually debated, and there were no internal opponents, but too many people were frightened by Li Zhen's military might, and the number of opponents was too small. It is not the opponents of the supporters, which led to the inclusion of the Liuzhao... and what we have done is to help those opponents take power."

"It's just that you don't think it's too much to do this? Your plan is likely to fail or even destroy the Tang Dynasty. What good does this do for you? Do you think that after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, you can still reorganize?" Jiangshan, from the pack of wolves surrounding the picturesque Tang Dynasty, is it possible to snatch this fat piece of meat? Where did you get the confidence?" This is the strangest thing about Hou Junji, who put in so much effort to do it for others Without the wedding dress, what did Cheng Jianxi's people think?Do they hate Datang so much?Would rather destroy everything and seek revenge on Datang?This should be impossible, right?

Chapter 912 Final Purpose

Chapter 272 Final Purpose

"Hehe, General Hou has nothing to do with this point." Li Siqian said with a light smile, "When the time comes, you will become the king of Nanyang by yourself. What do you want to do with the life and death of Tang Dynasty? As long as you can kill Li Zhen, let alone It is the Great Tang Dynasty, even if it destroys the world, we will not hesitate, this is our greatest goal."

"It turns out that this is your purpose, good layout, good calculations, not only me, but even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty have been calculated by you." Hou Junji finally understood Cheng Jianxi's plan, and couldn't help but terrified of their plans.

This is almost an interlocking plan. First, he used smuggled arms to force himself to rebel, and then fueled the flames within the Liuzhao, letting the opponents take power. The Liuzhao annexed the land of the Tang Dynasty and forced the youth army who had come to destroy him to return to the division. counterinsurgency.

I don't have the Youth Army and Li Jing on my side. With my [-] elite army and the temporary recruitment of hundreds of thousands of Nanyang natives, I can completely gain the support of the Nanyang natives as a liberator, and then control Nanyang.

The Great Tang lost Nanyang, and the Six Edicts began to rebel, which means that the communication line from Nanyang to Tianzhu is likely to be cut off...

Don't forget that the war between Datang and the South Tianzhu Alliance was at its hottest at this time. Although the Datang Army already had an absolute advantage, it only needed to fight steadily to destroy the South Tianzhu Alliance Army.

However, those nobles in South Tianzhu who have resorted to all means to keep their status are not easy to deal with, and they will never give up easily until the last moment.

The chief ally of the coalition forces, the king of Chaluqi, Boluo Jishe II, is an absolute hero who is not inferior to King Jieri. This is also a very difficult opponent. Datang wants to completely defeat Nantianzhu The coalition forces will take a long time.

If there was news that the rear was cut off at this time, the morale of the Tang army would plummet, and the combat effectiveness would be greatly lost. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, it would even have to give up the existing territory and temporarily retreat to Tianzhu.

And at this time, as long as Cheng Jianxi's spokesperson in South Tianzhu passes this news to Puluo Jishe II, this overlord of Tianzhu will never let Tang Jun leave easily, and will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue...

Needless to say, the next thing is that the South Tianzhu coalition army, which has been suppressed and beaten for so long, has long held its breath. Now that they have the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, their morale will definitely soar. On the contrary, the Tang army has become a bereaved dog. The combat effectiveness has dropped significantly, further widening the gap between the two sides. If the layout of Boluo Jishe II is suitable, the last 20 elite Tang troops may be wiped out on the Tianzhu battlefield.

In this way, Datang will not only lose all the territory in Tianzhu, but also lose 25 elites (20 are all dead, how can the enemy let the [-] road guards go?), ushering in a long-lost battle. fiasco...

The Tang Dynasty was defeated in Tianzhu and Nanyang was lost. Those people who had been waiting for the distribution of land with great expectations would definitely explode. If the court did not handle it properly, a little carelessness might lead to large-scale riots.

Moreover, even if the imperial court was able to put out the riot afterwards, it would cost a lot of money. It would stab the economy of the Tang Dynasty, which was already seriously damaged, and the economy of the Tang Dynasty would definitely collapse. The rapid increase, the people are miserable, and the people who can't survive will set off another riot on a larger scale than the last time, and the overthrow of the dynasty will only happen in an instant.

Under such circumstances, Datang seems to have only two ways to deal with it. The first is to appease the people with what they need most. What the people need most is land, but at this time the court has lost Nanyang and Tianzhu. In Borneo, there is simply not enough land allocated to the people, so this method is not advisable.

Another way is to launch a heavyweight scapegoat for public outrage.The imperial court attacked Nanyang, conquered Tianzhu, and even developed the entire Southeast Asia. The leader of all this was Prince Li Zhen. No matter in terms of identity or reason, this is undoubtedly the most suitable person to take the blame.

And even though Li Zhen is the crown prince, even though his talent surpasses all his brothers, even though he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but...compared with the stability of the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty, everything Li Zhen has done is insignificant.

What's more, even if the imperial court wants to protect Li Zhen at this time, no one will agree, not only the common people will not agree, but also the spokespersons of the forces whose interests have been taken by Li Zhen will not let Li Zhen go, Li Zhen His enemies will not let him go.At that time, if they put pressure on Li Shimin collectively, even Li Shimin must not obey the public opinion, otherwise he, the emperor, will not be able to be safe.

And this is Cheng Jianxi's goal - to pull Li Zhen from the position of prince.

It's just that this purpose is a bit too strange. Cheng Jianxi has done so much back and forth, even at the expense of the Tang Dynasty, just to kill Li Zhen, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.

"It seems unbelievable to you, but in our opinion, it's very cost-effective." A trace of hatred flashed in Li Siqian's eyes: "Think about it carefully, since Li Zhen appeared, how many plans has he destroyed?
