Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 565
Li Canghai shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then we can only resign ourselves to fate."

Xue Xuan looked at Li Canghai, with a worried look on her face, she said, "Canghai, let me go with you!"

Li Canghai thought for a while and said, "Xuan'er, I want you to do one thing for me, take care of my little sister and Huahua."

Xue Xuan's beautiful eyes looked forward, she instantly understood the meaning of Li Canghai's words, and immediately shook her head anxiously.

But Li Canghai said seriously: "Xuan'er, going to fight against the Japanese this time will definitely be a fierce battle. If I don't come back, my younger sister and Huahua will be entrusted to you."

Xue Xuan's eyes immediately became moist, she knew that Li Canghai was entrusting the matter behind him, and he clearly went to fight against the Japanese with the determination to die.

"Cang Hai, do you really want to do this?" Xue Xuan asked with a trembling voice with tears in her eyes.

Li Canghai nodded heavily, and said: "East China's attack on Silla, in fact, is to use Silla to attack our Tang Dynasty." At this point, Li Canghai paused, and he said deeply: "In two years , the Tang Dynasty will fall into war. If Dongying occupies Silla and sends troops to the Central Plains, it will definitely be devastated. At that time, the Tang Dynasty will really be over!"

From the current point of view, he cannot prevent An Lushan from rebelling, nor can he restore Datang to its former prosperity.

In today's Tang Dynasty, corrupt officials are rampant, and the common people are living in dire straits. It cannot be saved by one person.

What's more, An Lushan holds a powerful army and is deeply trusted by Xuanzong. Although he is the minister of Dali Temple, he has no power and power. Even if he intends to resist An Lushan, he does not have the strength.

All he could do was to minimize all the damage as much as possible before the Anshi Rebellion broke out.

Therefore, before this, there must be no wars in Datang.

Otherwise, it will only greatly consume the national strength of the Tang Dynasty and accelerate the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

"The small country of Dongying is trying to invade the Tang Dynasty. This time, I want to let them know one thing. Anyone who violates the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!" Li Canghai slammed the armrest of the wheelchair and said seriously.

Xue Xuan and Di Qing looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

"It's getting late, and it's time for us to pack up and head north. Xuan'er, I'll leave my little sister and Huahua to you." Li Canghai said.

Xue Xuan bit her lips lightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Li Canghai didn't dare to look Xue Xuan in the eyes, he lowered his head and sighed, then pushed the wheelchair and left the garden without hesitation.

Looking at Li Canghai's back, the teardrops on Xue Xuan's eyelashes instantly fell down.

She wiped away her tears, took Di Qing's hand, and said seriously: "Qing'er, I will leave the safety of Canghai to you. After I have settled my little sister and Huahua, I will go to Silla to help you immediately."

Di Qing nodded. She glanced at Li Canghai and said, "Sister Xue, I know what you're thinking...I will protect Canghai well."

After noon, Li Canghai and Di Qing left Yangzhou City in a carriage under the escort of more than twenty Jianning iron guards.

Hurry up, day and night, they spent two days, they came to Yanzhou from Yangzhou.

Outside Xiaqiu County, Yanzhou Government Office, Li Canghai found the Eastern Expeditionary Army who had been ordered to wait for him.

"The last general Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing lead the whole army to welcome the general!" In front of the barracks gate, a group of generals in armor saluted Li Canghai's carriage.

Li Canghai raised the curtain and got out of the carriage with Di Qing's support.

Seeing this, Jianning Tiewei immediately took the wooden wheelchair from the carriage and let Li Canghai sit on it.

All the soldiers immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. They never expected that the General of the Eastern Expedition personally appointed by the Holy Majesty was a lame man!
"You generals don't need to be too polite." Li Canghai didn't care about their weird eyes.

He glanced at the generals, and the leaders were two middle-aged men.

One of the two is handsome, looks just over [-] years old, but has white beard and hair, like an elegant old man, but he exudes a bravery of fighting on the battlefield, Li Canghai guessed secretly, This person is Gao Xianzhi.

The other person was ugly, with a beard all over his face, and he exuded a killing intent unique to the army, and this person was naturally Feng Changqing.

Standing together, these two people look like black and white, forming a stark contrast.

"Li has heard the names of the two generals for a long time, and seeing them today, they really deserve their reputation!" Li Canghai clasped his fists at the two of them.

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "The general is overwhelmed. I have been stationed in the frontier all the year round, and rarely return to the Central Plains. If I am rude, I hope the general will make amends."

"The two generals are polite, but how many troops did the two generals bring?" Li Canghai asked.

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing looked at each other, bowed their heads and said, "Back to General, we have brought more than [-] troops..."

"Thirty thousand? Isn't it fifty thousand?" Di Qing, standing behind Li Canghai, frowned.

"I don't know who this girl is?" Gao Xianzhi was a little surprised, women were not allowed in the army, and the Marshal of the Eastern Expedition brought a woman with him.

The Jianning Tiewei on the side shouted sharply: "Bold! This is Princess Di Qing who was canonized by the Holy Majesty himself! Why don't you salute quickly when you see the princess?"

Gao Xianzhi and the others hurriedly knelt down to salute, and said: "The last general will wait to see the Princess!"

"Get up and answer! What's going on here? Didn't the imperial decree say to give Cang Hai [-] soldiers and horses, why did it suddenly become [-]?" Di Qing's face was a little cold.

Gao Xianzhi sighed, and said: "Returning to the princess, the order received by the last general was originally to recruit 5 horses. But before leaving, he suddenly received an urgent report from the Ministry of War, saying that the Turks might take advantage of the border guards to leave. At the same time, they crossed the border to harass, leaving 2 troops in the end to guard against the Turks."

"Damn it! This must be Yang Guozhong playing tricks behind the scenes again!" Di Qing instantly understood the reason, and couldn't help but itch with hatred.

Li Canghai rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Sure enough, what I was worried about along the way still happened."

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

They have been stationed at the border all along, and they don't know what happened in the Central Plains. They only vaguely know that Li Canghai seems to be a civil servant, and he has a good reputation recently.

When they received the imperial decree, they were all puzzled.

There are countless generals in the Tang Dynasty, why do you have to let a civil servant lead the army to fight.

Especially when they saw that Li Canghai was a cripple, the two felt extremely disappointed in their hearts.

"General, there is an order from the Ministry of War, saying that as long as the general takes over the army, he must set up camp immediately. There is a two-day deadline to rush to Silla. The supervising officer has already arrived in Silla ahead of time. If the deadline is exceeded, he will be dealt with according to military law. !” Gao Xianzhi said seriously.

Li Canghai frowned, he knew well that Yang Guozhong must be tripping him up again.
