Chapter 1815 A scene played by oneself

One hundred thousand troops left Chang'an.

Cheng Yaojin looked worried. He didn't know what to do when he went to Silla.

He couldn't understand why the emperor was so sure this time that Zhao Chen would stand on his own in Silla.

Just because of a secret letter?

A secret letter can destroy all trust and ignore all credit?

Cheng Yaojin was a little disappointed.

He didn't expect that the emperor would become like this.

No matter what, Cheng Yaojin would never believe that Zhao Chen would be able to stand on his own in Silla.

"General, we are already thirty miles out of the city." His lieutenant came to report.

Cheng Yaojin took a look around and saw that the surrounding terrain was flat and open, which was a good place to set up camp.

So he turned around and shouted: "The army will camp on the spot and continue on its journey tomorrow morning."

The soldiers set up camp here, and Cheng Yaojin sat on the grass, looking at the mutton that he could feast on in the past, but now he had no appetite at all.

"General, are you still thinking about the King of Han?" the captain walked up to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin came back to his senses, glanced at the captain, and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

"Lao Jiang, tell me from the bottom of your heart, do you think the King of Han will stand on his own feet?" Cheng Yaojin looked at the captain.

The captain was startled when he heard this and looked around, but no one noticed here.

Then he came closer to Cheng Yaojin and slowly shook his head: "General, brothers actually don't believe it. In our Tang Dynasty, it can be said that except His Majesty the Emperor, no one dares to disobey the King of Han's orders."

"His Royal Highness the King of Han has family, friends, fame, and status in our Tang Dynasty. I really can't understand what kind of mental state His Highness the King of Han would be in before he would think of being independent in Silla?"

"As far as Silla is concerned, can a Silla king compare to a prince of our Tang Dynasty?"

"It just doesn't make sense."

"You all think so?" Cheng Yaojin nodded, and then

asked.

"Of course, nine out of ten mean this, and one thinks that the King of Han would not do such a thing." The captain nodded.

"If it weren't for His Majesty's Holy Order, brothers would have no choice but who would think of dealing with His Highness the King of Han."

"General, tell me, what should we do then?" the captain asked Cheng Yaojin in turn.

But Cheng Yaojin is in a dilemma now.

Who knows what they will do then.

"Follow orders." Cheng Yaojin could only spit out one word.

The captain nodded and said nothing more.

He is just a small captain, and these things are beyond his control.

The bonfire was lit, making it even more dazzling at night.

Cheng Yaojin entered his tent and was about to sleep when he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside: "General, Duke Wei is here."

Cheng Yaojin walked out of the tent quickly and saw Li Jing walking towards him.

"Mr. Wei, you're not..." Cheng Yaojin immediately signaled to his soldiers to get the food, and he helped Li Jing enter the camp.

Not far from the city, Cheng Yaojin received news that Li Jing had fainted in the Manlu Hall.

But he didn't expect that Li Jing would come at this time again.

Could it be that something happened again.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to be your deputy and arrest the King of Han before New Year's Eve this year." Li Jing smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty really plans to..." Cheng Yaojin's expression changed drastically.

He had only walked thirty miles today, and he originally planned to march slowly to help Zhao Chen buy some time and see if there would be any changes later.

Unexpectedly, the emperor directly sent Li Jing and asked him to

Before New Year's Eve, capture Zhao Chen.

Although it is only March and it is still early before New Year's Eve, it will take at least more than two months for the army to reach Silla.

Same goes for coming back.

Back and forth, it would take nearly half a year just on the road.

With all their plans, they have to capture Silla within three months.

"Your Majesty has made it clear that if I cannot do it, the entire Li family will be slaughtered..."

"What is your Majesty thinking about?" Li Jing's words made Cheng Yaojin tremble all over.

Li Jing was the founding father of the country, and his contribution was far greater than that of Cheng Yaojin. ??

The emperor issued such an explicit decree. Isn't he really afraid of hurting the old minister's heart?

"General, the food is ready." The soldier shouted from outside.

"Send it in quickly."

The soldiers delivered the meals and left the camp.

"Mr. Wei, let's have something to eat first. You look so pale and frightening." Cheng Yaojin greeted Li Jing.

Li Jing was not polite either. In order to catch up with Cheng Yaojin's army, he did not waste a moment on the road.

After eating something, Li Jing regained a lot of energy.

"Mr. Wei, what should we do next?" Cheng Yaojin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Jing, and then asked him what he thought.

"I don't know either, I just feel like there's too much weirdness about this thing."

"The emperor's behavior makes me feel that he is completely different from the person I know."

"And Zhao Chen's performance is not at all as alert as he used to be."

"There seems to be something wrong with both of them." Li Jing said.

This is his own feeling.

Although he couldn't say anything specific, he felt it was strange.

The emperor suddenly turned into an unkind and unjust king, and Zhao Chen suddenly turned into a traitor without an emperor and a father.

.

How can this be?

"I feel the same way, but I can't explain the reason." Cheng Yaojin was also distressed.

"Gong Wei, we can't meet the King of Han directly like this and then go up to attack him..." Cheng Yaojin asked again.

Li Jing did not speak this time, but closed his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Mr. Wei?" Cheng Yaojin called Li Jing in a low voice.

Li Jing opened his eyes, and his originally cloudy eyes seemed to suddenly become brighter.

"Has anyone come back from Silla recently?" Li Jing asked Cheng Yaojin.

"No, it seems that a cavalryman came back with a secret message, and then His Majesty saw it, and it became what it is now." Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, then shook his head.

"wrong!"

"wrong!"

"It must be wrong!" Li Jing suddenly stood up and kept saying something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Jing worriedly.

"Even if His Majesty is temporarily blinded by anger, he will not vent his anger on others."

"You know, even the Queen Mother was reprimanded one after another. Changsun Chong was beaten to death when he begged for mercy. If the Queen Mother hadn't begged, he would have been beaten to death."

"That is Changsun Wuji's only son. Even if His Majesty the Emperor is angry, it is impossible for him to completely forget his old feelings."

"Do you know why?" Li Jing suddenly showed a look of understanding.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head blankly. He was thinking about whether he should find a medical officer to take a look at Li Jing.

"Because His Majesty never wanted to kill Changsun Chong. He wanted to use this as a reason to let everyone know that Your Majesty hates the King of Han's actions so much that even the Queen and Your Majesty can ignore the past feelings."

"This is clearly a scene performed by His Majesty himself."
