It didn't make Li Shimin and others wait too long.
Zhang Shougui, who already had suspicions about An Lushan, knew that he had to take the initiative.
Five days later, the news of the rebellion of the Yuzhou border army spread.
Zhang Shougui gathered a hundred thousand troops and started the rebellion from Yuzhou. In just three days, he had already approached Yongzhou. Once Yongzhou fell, Chang'an would be in imminent danger.
The people were filled with anxiety.
The courtiers were filled with fear.
Only Li Linfu was confused, this was different from what they had agreed on?
Li Shimin was overjoyed: "This is even better..."
He almost spoke the truth.
After a pause, he managed his expression and said, "Rebellion should be punished by death!"
Finally.
In this new life, he could finally go to war again!
"Your Majesty, this cannot be!"
The courtiers immediately cried out, especially the older ones. If it weren't for their physical limitations, they would have been rolling on the floor.
Li Shimin was speechless.
He was going on a campaign, not to sacrifice himself, was it necessary?
"My mind is made up, there's no need to persuade me!"
With that, Li Shimin, pretending to be angry, walked away.
Except for Gao Lishi, who was mentally prepared.
The courtiers, including Zhang Jiuling, only realized what was going on afterwards.
Could it be that all the recent foolish actions of the emperor had a purpose after all?
They understood the hidden meaning.
Looking at the courtiers who were crying and screaming, Zhang Jiuling suddenly felt a sense of superiority, as if everyone else was drunk except for him.
Your Majesty, indeed you are!
Li Shimin's personal expedition was already a certainty.
The courtiers couldn't stop him, so they could only see him off for eighteen li.
One segment of the journey, one segment of crying.
If it weren't for his reason prevailing, Li Shimin would have wanted to kill all the weeping courtiers.
He was still alive, what kind of mourning was this, it was really inauspicious!
Ever since the rebellion against Sui, Li Shimin, who had shown his experience and brilliance, led the army day and night.
Finally, he arrived just in time as Yongzhou was being conquered.
Li Shimin raised his hand and shot an arrow, directly piercing the head of the charging enemy.
Then he charged into the enemy camp on horseback, his spear striking horizontally, directly toppling the enemy general to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he had killed dozens of enemy soldiers.
In an instant.
The morale of the army soared.
Tens of thousands of troops shouted in unison:
"Long live, Your Majesty!"
"Long live, Your Majesty!"
"Long live, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin was extremely pleased and continued to kill, leading the enemy camp in and out.
The Yongzhou garrison, who had been retreating steadily a moment ago, under his leadership, took off their helmets and armor, causing the rebel army to disintegrate.
The governor of Yongzhou was overjoyed.
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, his head nearly hit the ground.
"Your Majesty is divine!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling for Gao Lishi to help the governor of Yongzhou up from the ground.
Returning to the city, the people who had been confined to their homes in the past were now ecstatic, standing on both sides of the street and shouting long live, their voices shaking the heavens.
In the governor's mansion.
Li Shimin asked about the situation from the returning adjutant.
"Today we only saw Zhang Shougui's flag, where is An Lushan?"
"Zhang Shougui insisted on rebelling, but An Lushan refused to follow. At present, the two have already gone their separate ways," the adjutant replied.
Li Shimin: "Tsk, useless things."
He was still a godfather to someone else, but he couldn't even handle this.
"Forget it, since we're here..."
Li Shimin tried to console himself. There would always be a chance to meet the mastermind behind the Anshi Rebellion.
