Qin Xiao knew that what Master said was not wrong.

After the Kyoto Incident, many states in the world were indeed ready to take action. However, because the Kyoto Incident was complicated and confusing, many situations were not clear. Therefore, even if there were ambitious people in some state armies, they did not dare to act rashly.

The world is in turmoil, but it has not yet become completely chaotic.

Apart from the Northeast, the only place where sword wars really occurred was in Xuzhou.

Other states have not taken much action yet.

Moreover, Master once said something that hits the nail on the head, that is because the events in Kyoto were complicated and confusing, and the forces of all parties had not yet formed a general trend.

After Xiahou ascended the throne, there was a rebellion in three states and seven counties. Although Kyoto tried its best to pacify it, it also made Xiahou fearful of local forces. In the first few years of his reign, he actually reduced the local military establishment, and the effect was obvious.

As a result, although the Tang Empire did not have many well-trained elite soldiers and horses, except for the capital and a few border armies, the empire would be stretched thin if it wanted to use troops, but it did make it impossible to form a local military force that threatened the imperial court.

.

The local states and counties have limited troops and are subject to strict troop restrictions. There are also supervisory troops sent from Kyoto to pay attention to every move of the local state troops, which makes it extremely difficult to form a local rebel force.

Qin Xiao knew clearly in his heart that if he had not gone to the Northeast, a land that even the imperial court could not control, if he had not had the title of military training and wanted to develop and grow in the Northeast and have a powerful army now, it would be Bideng.

Nothing is more difficult than anything.

Therefore, although there is turmoil in the world today, states will not be able to gain momentum in a short period of time.

Recruiting soldiers, training trainers

Soldiers, forging weapons and accumulating food and fodder are not things that can be completed in a short time. Unless Kyoto completely loses control over the states and allows them to develop, there will not be a large-scale disaster of weapons in the world.

But as the Master said, the world is already in turmoil. If the Kyoto army bites Xuzhou, and the two sides cannot quickly tell the winner in Xuzhou and fall into a stalemate, other states may not take the opportunity to develop and grow, and time will be delayed.

The longer it goes, the greater the possibility of chaos in the world.

In order to make the ambitious locals give up their thoughts as soon as possible, it is natural to register the new king of Li and Tang Dynasties as soon as possible. In this way, the world will be restored to peace, and the powerful states will naturally not dare to have any rebellious intentions.

Xiahou's party is still very powerful today, at least the Tantai Xuanye they are facing is not a good person.

It is certainly not an easy task to reach Kyoto. The first step is to pass the Tantai Xuanye level.

Kyoto dispatched 20,000 Shence troops to attack Xuzhou. This army was certainly one of the few elites in the empire. In terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, it was not comparable to that of the local state army.

Although there are tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou, the state armies from all over the country have gathered together. Although they all serve under the banner of Li Tang, it is necessary for these state armies to reach a tacit understanding in a short period of time and merge into an orderly advance and retreat army.

Horse, but it is not an easy thing.

The Jiangnan Army alone is divided into the three states of Jiangnan. They are not one and the same. Each is independent. In fact, there is no real joint operation on the battlefield. Now directly facing the Shence Army, can they live together on the battlefield?

Death is a problem in itself

.

The Shence Army did not rush directly to Xuzhou with impulsiveness, but made deployments in Yuzhou very skillfully. Qin Xiao knew that the opponent must be preparing to stabilize the rear, ensuring that once the army entered Xuzhou, the logistics would be smooth.

The opponent did not underestimate the enemy, but took every step. This in itself proved that the Shence Army was not an easy opponent to deal with.

However, Qin Xiao also understood that Tantai Xuanye's troops would rush into Xuzhou at any time, and it was impossible to give Xuzhou too much time to prepare.

Qin Xiao's trip to Xuzhou was originally worried that She Yue would be controlled by Li Chengqing, and then Li Chengqing would use She Yue to control Xuzhou or even Jiangnan. Once that happened, he would have an extremely powerful opponent.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, and with the help of Master and others, he defeated Li Chengqing's conspiracy and solved one of the biggest threats neatly.

However, the eldest grandson Yuanxin died in the hands of Li Chengqing, which was a huge loss to the Xuzhou War.

Frankly speaking, Qin Xiao knew very well that in comparison, Changsun Yuanxin was actually more suitable to preside over the Battle of Xuzhou.

Changsun Yuanxin was most familiar with the situation of the Jiangnan Army, and after the Yuzhou Army, Yanzhou Army and even Xuzhou Army successively pledged their allegiance to She Yue, they were all unified under the command of Changsun Yuanxin.

Although Changsun Yuanxin has not been in charge of Xuzhou for a long time, he has devoted himself to military affairs day and night, and is very clear about the troops and the city defense deployment. In comparison, Qin Xiao is very unfamiliar with tens of thousands of troops.

There isn't even any emotion at all.

Although the Tang army was honored by military exploits, Qin Xiao's outstanding military exploits were enough to make the soldiers here fear him, but compared to the prestige that Changsun Yuanxin had already established

, Qin Xiao still lacks a lot after all.

But he also understood that after the death of the eldest son Yuanxin, he might be the only one who could take on the important task of presiding over the war in Xuzhou.

He has military exploits, and in the eyes of the soldiers, he is Princess Sheyue's confidant. At the sacrificial ceremony, the soldiers saw his extraordinary strength, so if Sheyue ordered him to preside over the Battle of Xuzhou,

Naturally, the soldiers will not oppose the war.

On the other hand, the generals of various troops and horses, no matter who is promoted to command this battle, will probably be criticized.

Whether he could capture Kyoto or not, Qin Xiao knew that it was not the time to consider this matter yet. The top priority was to be prepared to deal with Tantai Xuanye.

"Will Master stay in Xuzhou?" Qin Xiao finally asked after a long time.

The Master caressed his beard and said: "The prestige of the Prince of Taiping in the hearts of the people in the world is always not as high as that of the Founding Prince. The Tang Dynasty has lasted for two hundred years, and many problems have been difficult to overcome. In fact, when the late emperor was in power, the Tang Dynasty already had

The climate of decline. Back then, I thought about it, if there had been no rebellion between King Qing and Xiahou, and you had successfully ascended the throne after the death of the late emperor, would the world have been better off?"

Qin Xiao was startled, hesitated, and then shook his head and said: "If a young master is in charge of the country and powerful ministers are in charge, the world may still not be peaceful."

"Although it is just a calculation, I also think that the Tang Dynasty may only decline further." The master said seriously: "When a country declines, the people of the world will always suffer. When I agreed to the twenty-year agreement, in addition to hoping to save your life, I also

I hope that when you sit on that chair, you will be more than just a King of Peace. A phoenix will be reborn from the ashes and rebuild the Tang Dynasty.

A few sentences can do it. You grew up among the people and know the sufferings of the people. After you ascend the throne, you will naturally be able to know what the people need. Only by rebuilding the Tang Dynasty from blood and fire can you have the prestige and strength to eradicate the many shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty.

Really revitalize the Tang Dynasty."

When Qin Xiao heard this, he suddenly understood the master's painstaking efforts.

The emperor that the master wanted to see was not a king who grew up in the palace and enjoyed the splendor and wealth. He took Qin Xiao out of the capital and hid it among the people. Of course, it was to avoid Xia Hou's pursuit, but there was another, more important, reason.

The reason is that he hopes to cultivate a truly promising king.

Since Qin Xiao was born, there have been many twists and turns and thorns everywhere along the way, but he still came through step by step.

Not only did he see the suffering in the world, but he also tempered his tenacious will, and in the midst of blood and fire, he also possessed the quality of decisive killing.

Such a prince is of course much stronger than a prince who grew up in the palace.

If such a hero who was tempered by iron and blood and emerged from the common people became the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and had pure Li and Tang blood, he would naturally be supported by the people of the world, and the people of the world would be full of expectations and hopes.

good!

hope!

Only when all people in the world have hope can the Tang Dynasty be glorious again.

The Qin Xiao that Master created wholeheartedly was not only to give the people of the world an emperor, but also to give hope to all the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"You need to walk on this road by yourself." The master stared at Qin Xiao and said seriously: "If you can't even set foot in the capital, and you can't even kill the usurper with your own hands, how can you give hope to all the people in the world? How can you give hope to all the people in the world?

Can we recreate the Tang Dynasty?"

Qin Xiaodi

He pondered for a moment and finally said: "Master, I understand what you are thinking!"

"I have already said what I need to say during this trip, and I have already done what I need to do for you. I am just a corrupt scholar. I have no talent for running a country, nor the ability to march and fight, so there is not much I can do to help you.

The master said softly: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "There is indeed something I want to ask Master."

"you say!"

"Linghu Changle!" Qin Xiao stared at the Master and said: "As far as I know, the sword god Linghu Changle died in Kyoto that year, but the cause of his death is confusing. I still don't know the truth." After a pause, he said

: "The Master has been living in seclusion in Kyoto. Was the Master involved in the death of the Sword God?"

"I'm here." The master nodded.

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "So, the death of the Sword God is also related to the Master?"

"I know what you want to know." The master sighed: "It's just that he died in Kyoto. Although it cannot be said that he was to blame, he had to do it."

"Why?" Qin Xiao asked: "Why do you want to kill him?"

The master pondered for a moment, then said: "You should understand that I will naturally let you know what you should know. Linghu Changle died in Kyoto for complicated reasons. Even if you know it now, it will not be good for you. But I will

I promise you that when you return to Kyoto, I will wait for you at the academy and tell you what happened that year."

Qin Xiao was a little disappointed, thinking that this old master really wanted to show off, but since he said he would not tell him now, there was no point in asking.

The master's intention is also very clear. He can only wait for him to lead his troops to break through.

Kyoto, kill Xiahou, and then he will tell the truth about the death of the Sword God.
