Chapter 849: The Pincer Movement Reappears

What does it feel like to sit on the dragon throne?

Li Cunxi felt that he had no feelings at all, very calm, very calm, very calm.

There wasn't even the slightest ripple in his heart.

It seemed as if all of this was what he deserved, and even if he got it, there would be no waves.

"Sitting here is just like that." Li Cunxi held his chin, "Do you want to come up and try it?"

Li Gui looked at Li Cunxi deeply and was unwilling to speak.

Li Wenzhong and Wu Yanhao, on the other hand, had no taboos at all. They just thought it was fun and went up to the altar one after another, taking turns to try the feeling of sitting on the dragon bed.

"It's just average, too average."

"Indeed, it's not as comfortable as sitting in bed at home."

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, they made the people below burst into laughter.

In this atmosphere, Li Gui's tense nerves relaxed and he laughed with everyone.

Li Wenzhong and Wu Yanhao walked down, and together they held Li Gui on both sides and lifted him up to sit on the dragon bed.

"Do you feel anything?" Li Wenzhong laughed.

"It's just like an ordinary chair." Li Gui even touched it. Apart from feeling cold, he really didn't feel anything.

Wu Sansi, who was kneeling below, looked at the four people hatefully and was in a bad mood.

"How dare you sit on the dragon bed? Aren't you afraid that my aunt will come back and take your lives?"

"Have you forgotten that my aunt is extremely vicious? Upon learning that you have ascended to the throne, how could she not think that you are plotting to usurp the throne?"

Li Cunxi didn't care much, sat back down and said:

"You have quite a bit of information, so you should know that His Majesty has appointed five kings, right?"

"Why don't you guess? Your Majesty clearly no longer has the power to control the government, so why did he dare to appoint my mentor as the King of Jin?"

"You should know that when Qin and Jin came together, the King of Jin was still superior to the King of Qin."

Wu Sansi's face became even uglier.

How could he not know such important news? He knew it too well. This meant that Li Cunxi's position as crown prince was stable.

The emperor did not appoint Li Cunxi as the crown prince at the last moment. He just wanted to leave a last bit of dignity for the Great Zhou and hoped that Li Cunxi could defeat the Great Wu as the King of Qin of the Great Zhou.

As long as Li Cunxi is still His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin of the Great Zhou, his achievement of destroying the Great Wu will eventually be attributed to Wu Zetian.

Of course, there is another thing that can prove that Li Cunxi's position as crown prince is stable.

That is... Wu Chengsi is the regent.

Since ancient times, the crown prince has been the regent. Wu Chengsi was not the crown prince but was able to take on the important task of regent. Why was that? Of course, it was because Wu Yanhao was by Li Cunxi's side.

Wu Yanhao's biggest role in this trip is that of a half-hostage.

"Li Cunxi, you are so cruel. I can't defeat you."

"I really regret not wiping out Duke Huang's entire family back then."

Wu Sansi sighed heavily.

He firmly believed that he had done something wrong, which led to the current result. Otherwise, he should be the crown prince of the Great Zhou.

"Yes, if you had killed all of us back then, how could there be so many problems now?"

Li Cunxi sighed.

"If you kill all of our family."

"Then you probably wouldn't have joined forces with Wu Yizong and others to poison the entire family of your cousin, Prince Li Dan, and your brother, Crown Prince Li Xian."

"You are truly vicious! In order to get His Majesty to pass the throne to your Wu family, you even went so far as to poison these two cousins and their entire family. People like you really should be cut into pieces."

Upon hearing this, Wu Sansi just sneered.

He was about to die, but Li Cunxi actually poured two basins of cold water on his head.

This is really shameless!

Did he really kill the Crown Prince Li Xian and the entire household of Prince Li Dan? Could it be that Li Cunxi really didn't know the truth?

This was something that anyone with a bit of common sense could understand, but when Li Cunxi said it, he was still condemning the two princes to death.

That's clearly suicide!

The purpose was to make Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong appear to be immoral people, and to use the fact that father and son shared a wife and finally forced Li Xian to death as an excuse to return the throne to other descendants of Emperor Gaozu.

Among the other descendants of Emperor Gaozu, there are very few who have descendants, very few who are famous, and very few who can surpass Li Cunxi in fame.

This clearly means that the emperor wants to pass the throne to Li Cunxi!

Can't he figure it out?

He thinks clearly!

He really understands it now!

Wu Sansi suddenly looked up and said, "Li Cunxi, you have secured the throne. Crown Prince Li Xian has set a good example for the people of the world. I don't believe there won't be someone like him among your descendants!"

Li Cunxi felt nothing and drew his sword calmly, wiping the Youlan Sword with Wu Sansi's dragon robe.

"I'm not worried. You should be worried about what will happen after you see His Majesty."

"I'll have you escorted back to the capital. As for you, don't imagine anyone will come to rescue you. I'll have Brother Jinghui lead 500 Thousand Oxen Guard cavalry to personally escort you back."

"And I will still be waiting in Yuezhou for your General Li Xiaoyi and General Yang Dacheng."

……

Fuzhou, Li Xiaoyi’s camp.

Li Xiaoyi's army of more than 140,000 soldiers and horses had consumed a large amount of food and fodder, but the food and fodder from Yuezhou had not been delivered yet.

This was definitely a huge blow to him and the soldiers, and Zhang Renyuan's army seemed to be sick recently. The army was divided into two parts, each part was twenty miles apart, and the rear part advanced forty miles every day.

The two armies set out every other day, advancing at a snail's pace.

Even so, within a few short days, Zhang Renyuan's 200,000-strong army was approaching Li Xiaoyi's Left and Right Eagle Guards.

Seeing that the other side was trying to drive him away step by step, Li Xiaoyi decided to take the initiative and let Yang Dacheng lead his own troops to form a pincer attack with his 100,000-strong army.

Li Cunxi once used this method to deal with Sun Wanrong, and it was very effective. Without absolute military strength, it would be impossible to attack two large camps at the same time.

Even though Sun Wanrong was known as the Khitan military god, he was unable to break this tactic.

When the Left and Right Yingyang Guards were dispatched, the spies of the Left Wei Guards also received the news. Not long after, Dalha got the information in Zhang Renyuan's central army camp.

"Is this a pincer attack?"

Daleha raised his eyebrows and looked at the area mentioned in the intelligence sent back by the scout.

Judging from the location of Yang Dacheng's camp, the camps of Yang Dacheng and Li Xiaoyi were less than twenty miles apart, which was similar to the distance between their armies.

Their army was advancing step by step using the tactics of pincer attack, but they didn't expect that Li Kaigu would also use the same tactic.

Zhang Renyuan stood beside him, looked carefully, and asked:

"They're also using a pincer attack. How are we supposed to break it?"

Daleha put his hands behind his back and smiled complacently.

"Do you know what the biggest advantage of the pincer attack is?"

"Can we help each other?"
