Li Longji asked Ang Lee to bring more troops to Cuandi because he was worried about Ang Lee's safety. Such an outstanding young talent was a rare talent in the Tang Empire. If he was injured, it would be a huge loss to the Tang Empire. 【Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ Wang

Ang Lee naturally understood Li Longji's importance to him. He was slightly excited. After a pause, he cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject is willing to lead six hundred Dragon Warriors to Cuandi. Together with the logistics troops, a total of one thousand people will be enough."
Li Longji nodded. "Very well! Let the troops who were originally with you to Dongnu Province continue to follow you to Cuandi. In addition, if the situation there becomes critical, you can ask Zhangchou Jianqiong for help at any time. Do not take any risks. "
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This humble subject understands."
Li Longji heaved a sigh of relief. "We will arrange for the money, food, weapons, and armor needed for the recruitment of soldiers as soon as possible. We should be able to prepare everything in five days. General Li can have the soldiers prepare first. We will depart for Cuan Land in five days."
"Yes, Your Majesty. This humble subject obeys."
Ang Lee accepted the order.
Li Longji gently waved his hand. Ang Lee took his leave and slowly left.
Looking at Ang Lee's departing figure, Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi beside him and said softly, "Ang Lee is good at breaking the rules and finding things that are most beneficial to him. Burning six mu of weeds can be considered a kind of courage. Putting him in charge of quelling the rebellion in Cuandi is the best choice."
"Your Majesty is wise. This humble subject also believes that General Li can achieve victory as soon as possible."
"If Ang Lee can really quell the rebellion in Cuandi with three thousand soldiers, the construction of the Hot Spring Palace won't have to stop, and the burden on the Imperial Court won't be too heavy."
Gao Lishi nodded in agreement.
Li An walked along the corridors of the Royal Palace with large strides. The officials and eunuchs he met along the way all cast strange gazes at him. They already knew that Li An had set fire to the backyard of his home, but looking at Li An's current state, it seemed that not only had he not been reprimanded by the Emperor, he had even received a reward. Anyone who saw this unusual situation would probably find it strange.
"General Li has committed such a big taboo, but he hasn't been punished at all by His Majesty.
"What's so strange about that? In the battle between the mother and son, General Li annihilated the twenty thousand elite border troops of Tufan at a small price. He even killed the Tufan prince, Lang Zhidu. With such a great contribution, why would His Majesty punish him?"
"Merit is merit is merit? merit merit merit merit, merit, fault fault fault fault is fault fault fault fault fault.
"I heard that His Majesty wants to send troops to Cuandi. Perhaps he wants Officer Li to go."
"Who did you hear about using troops against Cuandi?"
"Nanzhao's Second Prince's follower. He said that His Majesty didn't agree to let Nanzhao take full responsibility for quelling the rebellion, and even asked me to speak to His Majesty. How would I dare?"
A few officials gathered together and began to discuss in low voices.
"What are you all discussing?"
Li Linfu walked out with a serious expression.
"Right Prime Minister."
Li Linfu usually had a smile on his face. Now that he had a serious expression, these officials were scared witless. They all lowered their heads and didn't speak.
"Go back! If His Majesty sees this, it won't be proper. "
Li Linfu waved his hand and had the officials return to their posts.
"Good Prime Minister, this humble subject saw clearly that General Li walked over with a smile. It seems that His Majesty didn't blame him. What about our memorials?"
An official stayed behind and carefully asked Li Linfu for instructions.
Evidently, after knowing that Ang Lee had set the backyard on fire, Li Linfu had hinted to a few of his trusted officials to write memorials to impeach Ang Lee. This was to deal a blow to this person who was highly regarded by the Emperor, but at the same time wasn't on his side.
However, since Emperor Li Longji didn't blame Ang Lee, then the impeachment wouldn't have much effect. Li Linfu understood Li Longji very well. As long as Li Longji didn't pursue the matter, no matter what the officials said, it wouldn't have much effect. Instead, it would cause Li Longji to dislike it.
"Forget it, throw away the memorials!"
"Yes, Good Prime Minister."
Li Linfu rubbed his chin and thought for a few moments. He realized that Li Longji wanted to have Ang Lee lead the army to quell the rebellion in Cuandi. After all, he had seen Zhangchou Jianqiong's memorial. In it, Zhangchou Jianqiong had strongly recommended Ang Lee to quell the rebellion in Cuandi. And now, Ang Lee had broken the taboo and was still able to strut out of the Imperial Palace. Didn't this mean that Li Longji had already accepted Zhangchou Jianqiong's suggestion and had Ang Lee lead the army to quell the rebellion in Cuandi?
Ang Lee, you're really good. You've done well time and time again, but His Majesty only sees your contributions and doesn't care about your mistakes.
Li Linfu immediately felt jealous of Ang Lee. Although Li Longji also thought highly of him, he was extremely cautious and had never made a mistake as obvious as Ang Lee's.
"Right Prime Minister, His Majesty has just sent a decree for the Bureau of Military Personnel to immediately prepare the equipment and food for three thousand soldiers. The deadline is five days. Also, His Majesty has decreed that the Right Dragon Army Commander Ang Lee will be promoted to General. He will lead the army to quell the rebellion in Cuandi in five days."
A minor official hurriedly ran in to report.
Li Linfu's body trembled slightly. After a moment, he said, "Understood. Immediately inform the Bureau of Military Personnel and urge them to prepare as soon as possible."
"Yes, Right Prime Minister."
A village boy actually became the Right Dragon Army Commander in just a few days and was even given the title of General. There probably aren't many people in the Tang dynasty who can rise so quickly.
After fully knowing the truth, Li Linfu's heart still fluctuated and he felt a little jealous.
Li Linfu had always been jealous of the virtuous, and the reason for this was that he was extremely uneasy. As the saying went, it was lonely at the top, and the higher one was, the more painful it would be to fall. As the Minister of the Right of the Great Tang, Li Linfu was already at the pinnacle of the court, and there was no way for him to rise any higher. Li Linfu urgently needed to maintain his current position, and Li An's momentum was clearly a serious threat to his position. How could he not be nervous?

After Ang Lee left the palace, he immediately gathered his subordinates and informed them that they would go to Cuandi to quell the rebellion in five days. He also asked them to inform their troops as soon as possible and let the soldiers settle their family matters as soon as possible. They should gather outside the city gate in five days. Of course, if anyone was unwilling to go to Cuandi, Ang Lee also ordered that they should not be forced. This was to show humanity and at the same time, eliminate those who were unwilling to go to war.
The reason why Ang Lee proposed to recruit three thousand soldiers and only bring six hundred soldiers to Cuandi was because the weakness of the Dragon Army was exposed during the battle of the Zimu Pass. At that time, if the Tang Army did not have the absolute advantage in terms of numbers, Ang Lee would not be able to predict the outcome. Therefore, he was not confident in bringing such soldiers to quell the rebellion in Cuandi.
Recruiting soldiers was different. They could be personally selected. As long as they were qualified and underwent strict training, they could be trained into a strong army that would make the enemy tremble in fear.
Moreover, the soldiers Ang Lee wanted to recruit were the people of the Tang Dynasty near Cuandi. These people were more adapted to the high temperature and humid environment of Cuandi. As long as they were trained well, their strength would far surpass the Dragon Army in the capital and become the absolute main force in quelling the rebellion in Cuandi.
"It's fine. The recruits need to be selected and trained. Without half a year, it will be difficult for them to form a fighting force. Then, is it too late for us to quell the rebellion?"
Li Feishouyu frowned. He had some doubts about Ang Lee's decision.
"That's right! Big Brother, it's not easy to train new soldiers. Why don't we have a ready-made army? "
"Big Brother, the Dragon Army's strength is not high. We can choose the border army of Jiannan Pass. Why do we have to train our own soldiers?"
Obviously, everyone felt that Ang Lee's consideration was somewhat unreasonable. After all, quelling the rebellion was right in front of them. At this time, they did not want ready-made soldiers and horses. Instead, they wanted to train their own soldiers and horses. Wasn't this crazy?
Ang Lee smiled indifferently and looked at his brothers. "Quelling the rebellion is indeed urgent. However, isn't the King of Yunnan in a hurry to quell the rebellion? We can give the task of quelling the rebellion to him. We will wait and see. When the time is right, we will immediately take action and snatch the fruits of victory. The training of soldiers is just an excuse to delay the advance of troops. It is to show the King of Yunnan that I, Ang Lee, know that my forces are weak and do not dare to lead troops into Cuandi. This will make him feel at ease! "
"Big Brother, how are you going to snatch the fruits of victory? If Nanzhao's army suddenly moves with lightning speed to occupy Cuandi, won't we lose the initiative? "
"No problem. This is indeed too risky. Because we do not know the King of Yunnan's plan. If the King of Yunnan is really going to stake everything on one throw and use Nanzhao's entire army to attack Cuandi, it is very likely that they will occupy Cuandi in a few months. And we cannot train an elite army in a few months. In this way, Cuandi will belong to Nanzhao."
Everyone still raised objections.
Ang Lee wanted to tell everyone that he already knew the direction of history like the back of his hand. It was impossible for Piloge to quell the rebellion in Cuandi in a short period of time. It was even more impossible for them to stake everything on one throw and transfer Nanzhao's entire army to Cuandi. However, he could not say this. It would scare his brothers.
"You don't have to worry. I have already calculated everything. Moreover, the imperial edict has already been issued. We just need to follow it. You must prepare as soon as possible. In five days, we will set off on time."
"Yes, understood."
"Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, come with me to the Honglu Guild Hall. I want to see Yu Chengjie."
"Big Brother, Nanzhao's Second Prince's mission this time was to obtain the authority to quell the rebellion for the King of Yunnan. Now that His Majesty has given the authority to quell the rebellion to Big Brother, Nanzhao's Second Prince is probably angry at this time. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go."
Li An smiled faintly. "What's inappropriate about it? Big Brother knows that Yu Chengjie is unhappy. We've been traveling together and we've developed some feelings for each other. Big Brother, if you go and persuade him, perhaps he won't be depressed anymore."
After speaking, he stepped towards the warhorse. Kun Xiong and Fei Yu followed.

In the Honglu Guild Hall, Yu Chengjie sat in the room with a sad face and sighed. After putting in a lot of effort, he still couldn't obtain the authority to quell the rebellion for Nanzhao.
This also meant that he couldn't complete the task given by his father, Piloge. As a result, he was one step away from the position of Crown Prince that he dreamed of. He might not even have the chance to compete with Gelofeng for the position of Crown Prince.
"Didn't you say that there was still a chance? Didn't you say that you would do your best? But now that the Emperor of the Tang dynasty has issued an edict, Xiao Wang still couldn't complete the task given by his father. After returning, how will Xiao Wang explain to his father? How will Xiao Wang explain to his father? "
Yu Chengjie's tone was a little flustered.
His confidants lowered their heads and didn't dare to interrupt. In fact, they had all done their best. But sometimes, trying hard won't guarantee success. The road to success was full of too many uncertain factors. There was a saying that went, "Man proposes, God disposes." Sometimes, this was God's will and there was no other way.
"Get out of here, get out of here for Xiao Wang."
Yu Chengjie's immature side was shown again.
The three confidants looked lonely as they slowly left the room and gently closed the door.
"Li … General Li, why are you here?"
The three attendants had just been driven out of the room when they saw Ang Lee walking over with his head held high. They were surprised and greeted him.
Obviously, the three of them felt that Ang Lee had received the Emperor's edict to quell the rebellion in Cuandi. At this moment, he should be focusing all his energy on the preparation. Why would he come to the Honglu Guild Hall for no reason?
Ang Lee could tell from the three's lonely expression that they had just been reprimanded by Yu Chengjie and were in an extremely low mood at the moment.
"This General will set out in five days. Today, I specially came to see the Second Prince."
Ang Lee was neither servile nor overbearing. He didn't mean to mock Yu Chengjie.
"Creak …"
The door slowly opened from the inside. Yu Chengjie walked out with a dissatisfied face. He stared straight at Ang Lee and said sarcastically, "General Li, are you here to laugh at Xiao Wang?"
Ang Lee smiled faintly and took a step forward. "Second Prince, Ang Lee wouldn't dare."
Yu Chengjie was in a very bad mood. He hated to see people smile. Seeing Ang Lee's smile, his mood became even worse. He slightly tilted his head and looked into the distance, pretending to be angry.
"Second Prince, it's bad for your health to be angry. You should take care of your body."
Ang Lee saw Yu Chengjie's childish attitude and tried to persuade him.
Yu Chengjie looked back at Ang Lee and sneered. "General Li, you've won the favor of the Emperor of the Tang dynasty. Of course, you're in a good mood. Xiao Wang congratulates General Li."
Ang Lee grinned. "Second Prince, you're angry with me, Ang Lee! In fact, I've always been considerate of Second Prince. Second Prince, you don't have to be like this. We're friends. "
Yu Chengjie frowned. "Since Captain Li and Xiao Wang are friends, why don't you submit a memorial to the Emperor of the Tang dynasty and pass the responsibility of quelling the rebellion to Nanzhao?"
The Emperor of the Tang dynasty had already issued an imperial edict. How could it be changed? Yu Chengjie's request was obviously unreasonable. However, Ang Lee wasn't angry. He had already expected this.
"Second Prince, this humble one has just returned from the Eastern Maiden Kingdom and is exhausted. I really don't want to go to Cuandi to suffer. However, His Majesty has already issued an imperial edict. This humble one can only reluctantly lead hundreds of troops and horses to Cuandi. However, this humble one's troops and horses are really not a match for the Cuandi clan. To quell the rebellion in Cuandi, we still have to rely on the King of Yunnan."
"Rely on my father?"
