At this time, he led an army of tens of thousands to the north, and he was bound to pass through the Central Plains on the way. No one could guarantee that he would not take the opportunity to go west and go straight to Chang'an.
Although Li Xiao felt that writing was in vain.
But there are some things that he still has to do after all.
After thinking about it, Li Xiao said to Li Junxian, "Uncle Li, I will divide my future plan into three steps."
"Which three steps?"
Li Xiao said expressionlessly: "The first step is to grow yourself and wait for the right opportunity."
"The second step is to send troops to the north, and all the enemies who will invade in the future will be driven out of the Tang Dynasty."
"third step……"
Having said that, Li Xiao's expression paused, and he looked at Li Junxian meaningfully: "What do you think I will do?"
Li Junxian narrowed his eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Your Highness is the orthodox royal family, and also the most outstanding son of heaven in the past century. If His Highness wants to advance, I will give my full support."
"only……"
After a pause, Li Junxian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty dares to say something more, what flows through Your Highness is His Majesty's blood after all."
"Hehe, what are you talking about?"
Li Xiao chuckled, and said helplessly: "Uncle Li, your situation is too small. This third step is naturally to sweep the world and unify the world. Although I don't want to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I want to see the great power of the Tang Dynasty." Tang's flag is planted in every corner of the world."
What British Emperor and American Emperor?
I let your ancestors surrender at the feet of Datang!
And Korea, Dongying, the first one will deal with you!
For some reason, Li Xiao's hatred for the Turks was not so strong when it came to this point.
Hearing Li Xiao's bold words and ambitions, Li Junxian was stunned.
"Sweeping all over the world? Unifying the world?"
He murmured: "Put the flag of Datang in every corner of the world? Can we really do it?"
"With me here, nothing is impossible!" Li Xiao said vigorously.
"So, Uncle Li, you can relax! The current situation is forcing, but I assure you, Datang's country will not be lost, but will only expand and grow stronger!"
"Time will prove everything!"
……
Time flies, and two days have passed.
These two days, Li Xiao did not return to Qiongzhou, but wandered back and forth in Xuwen City and several surrounding cities.
The three thousand soldiers of the Longxiang Legion in the dark are also quietly dormant.
On this day, he received information from Ye Tianchen.
"Your Highness, we have already found out, mainly in Leizhou City, Yuchuan and other major cities. Recently, the government has gathered a large amount of supplies and money from various places. It seems to be worried that others will not see it."
"Li Yuanze is acting for me..."
Li Xiao's eyes were thoughtful.
It's just collecting materials and money. Is it necessary to make it known to everyone?
In doing so, it feels like there is no silver 300 taels here.
"Your Highness, I feel that Li Yuan will not hand over the supplies and money to His Highness so easily." Li Junxian said thoughtfully.
"Of course, who would make a loss-making business?" Li Xiao said with a smile, "I have been waiting for his methods for the past two days, but I never thought that he would actually go to raise supplies and money for me."
"Since there is no action now, Li Yuanze's action will definitely appear on the third day, or after the silver is handed over to His Highness." Li Junxian thought.
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up, and he said, "What the hell is he doing? Anyway, in my opinion, the money and supplies already belong to me."
"What is your Highness going to do?"
"Give him a vote! Anyway, let's talk about it when we get it."
Li Xiao's eyes flickered brightly: "Order, three thousand Longxiang fighters, with 500 people as a unit, split up and sneak into the major cities of Leizhou. Before the three-day period arrives, get the silver and gold!" Supplies."
"Contact Qiongzhou again, and transfer all three buildings to be used as transportation tools."
He is also not afraid of being found out.
Anyway, with the speed of the boat, no one can catch up.
As long as the supplies can come out, as long as the supplies are on the ship, it won't matter who comes!
"As ordered!"
Li Junxian immediately took the order to resign.
……
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
Today is a period of three days.
Li Xiao brought people to Pengsi Palace in Leizhou City in person.
"Uncle Wang, I haven't seen you for three days, I miss you so much! I can't wait to see you."
Li Xiao looked at Li Yuanze who came over with a cheerful face.
The smile on Li Yuanze's face remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with slander.
Is it because I want my own supplies and money?
"Nephew, luckily, after three days of hard work, I evacuated the entire Leizhou City, and finally gathered the 55 catties of supplies and 80 taels of silver you need."
"There are two thousand war horses, and they have all been taken to the military camp outside the city, waiting for your nephew to come over."
Li Yuan had a friendly smile on his face.
"Great!"
Li Xiao was pleasantly surprised, and then showed suspicion: "These three days have been so smooth, nothing will happen next, right?"
"Don't worry, who dares to touch my king's things in Leizhou City? Who has the ability?" Li Yuan said nonchalantly.
The moment the words fell, a palace guard hurried in at the door.
"My lord, something is wrong!"
The guard looked flustered, knelt down and shouted: "The materials and money have been robbed by a group of thieves!"
Chapter 324: Not Acting
"Materials were robbed?!"
Li Yuanze's eyes widened immediately, and he shouted in disbelief: "Waste! What a bunch of waste!"
"With so many of you guarding, how could you be snatched away?"
"How much was stolen?"
"Back to the lord, all the supplies and money prepared by Leizhou City have been robbed. The people who came here are powerful, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties. Please forgive me!" the guard said in a panic.
"What should I do!" Li Yuanze looked anxious.
Afterwards, he looked at Li Xiao and said, "Nephew, you also heard that the supplies and money that were prepared for you have been taken away by thieves. Uncle Wang doesn't want to ruin his promise, but there is no way!"
"Oh?"
Li Xiao asked with a puzzled look: "Who is it, have you found out? It shouldn't be someone who can grab something in Uncle Wang's territory."
Li Yuan immediately looked at the guard and asked, "Say, who dares to be so bold?"
"Forgive me, my lord. Those thieves are all masked and wearing night clothes, so they can't see their faces clearly." The guard continued.
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan frowned suddenly.
Why didn't you come as planned?
He had made arrangements early on, as long as Li Xiao came over to discuss with him, there would be news that the supplies had been robbed.
And the person who stole the supplies must be from Qinzhou.
Now, why didn't the guard follow his orders?
This made Li Yuanze annoyed.
"Didn't the other party be left alone?" Li Yuanze asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
"No...no, they are too powerful. Everyone's skill is comparable to a centurion in our army, and they are unstoppable when united." The guard said nervously.
Li Yuanze: "???"
What is no?
You should say that you are from Qinzhou!
He was almost driven crazy.
I have never seen such incompetent subordinates.
"No one is kept? What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Yuanze roared angrily.
"If my king remembers correctly, the money and materials are all stored in the government office, guarded by heavy soldiers, you should know the identity of the thief!"
At the end, Li Yuan couldn't help but want to remind the guards.
"The subordinates really don't know..."
The guard looked distressed.
The guard also realized what the problem was at this time.
The prince who co-authored him didn't believe his words at all, he thought he was cooperating with acting.
Thinking of this, he immediately said cautiously: "My lord, the materials and money have really been robbed!"
"This king is not deaf yet! You don't need to say it a second time!"
Li Yuan was furious in his heart.
Guard: "..."
At this time, Xu Zian seemed to have noticed something, and immediately asked, "How many thieves are there?"
The guard reported truthfully: "At least 300 people, they appeared from all over the government office, killed me and waited by surprise."
"I was invincible and retreated steadily. In the end, I could only watch helplessly as they pulled the carriage carrying supplies away from the government office."
Hearing this, Xu Zian's eyes trembled.
It was said in such detail, and these words were not arranged in advance.
Therefore, something happened to the materials and money.
Xu Zian fell into deep thought for a moment.
"My lord, it's not too late. You should send people to chase after him immediately. They are pulling supplies, and they can't go fast." Xu Zian said solemnly.
"To chase?"
Li Yuan was full of doubts.
According to the plan, didn't it mean that it would be all right to plant the blame on Qinzhou?
What are you chasing?
chasing air?
He looked puzzled, and then said thoughtfully: "Sir, could it be someone from Qinzhou did it? After all, the Ning family has long wanted to incriminate me in Leizhou."
"Uncle Wang, do you want me to send someone to chase after Uncle Wang?" At this moment, Li Xiao suddenly said.
"No need, this king can handle it."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he called several generals and asked them to lead the army in pursuit.
After finishing all this, Li Yuanze said to Li Xiao with an apology on his face: "Nephew, I'm really sorry, this king didn't expect this to happen, and now I can only wait for the supplies to be recovered before handing them over to my nephew." It's you."
