Lei Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the answer he wanted. He knew how strong Zhao Wudi was in leading troops in battle.
Leading the same number of troops, Zhao Wudi could defeat them.
If Li Ye wants to inherit the throne, he must have the support of such a general and lead the army to expand the territory.
Therefore his attitude is crucial.
"Your Majesty, let us all support His Highness in achieving his goal of hegemony, resolving all external threats, and ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Zhao Wudi said with a serious expression: “I’m afraid we will face more and more difficulties in the future.
If Yang Xiuyuan goes to the court, a lot of our secrets will be leaked.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince alone would become our mortal enemies.
Not to mention that they have the support of Yunlu Pavilion behind them.
We have to prepare for it quickly.
I've never been afraid of dealing with enemies, but it's really hard to guard against being stabbed in the back by one of my own people."
Li Ye said, "You only need to lead the troops to fight abroad. I will handle the affairs in the court."
"What's there to be afraid of? We have hundreds of thousands of troops, and our cavalry is almost 100,000 strong.
Even if we look at the entire Dayuan, no one has as strong a force as us."
Lei Zhanshi said confidently.
"That's right. Even if we're fighting for the throne, we have to use some means to avoid war as much as possible.
Once the war breaks out, the people of Dayuan will suffer the most.
Not to mention that the enemy is eyeing us covetously and may attack us at any time." Li Ye said with a smile.
Next, continue to complete the transaction and exchange for a large number of cattle and sheep.
With such a large sum of money, we can mobilize everyone to become a soldier.
Even if training consumes more food, we can still withstand it.
Anyone who is fourteen years old or above will be trained in the military way and serve as a reserve soldier.
Li Ye's goal is not entirely in Dayuan, but to eliminate all enemy countries.
And in the future, we will never rely on the court for anything and will achieve complete self-sufficiency.
Because Li Ye knew very well that the court had the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and they would definitely find ways to create obstacles for him.
It will become increasingly difficult to get support from the court.
If you stab yourself at a critical moment, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is better to make plans early and arrange everything you need.
Yang Xiuyuan traveled day and night and soon arrived in the capital.
Li Xuantian was very confused when he saw him coming so quickly.
As an imperial envoy, going out to investigate the situation must be very time-consuming and laborious. It would take at least a month to get to the bottom of it.
But he had only been here for less than ten days when he came back.
The delay on the road alone must have been more than five days, which means that it was over two days after arriving at the border.
What was investigated in such a short time?
Some even felt that Yang Xiuyuan was just going through the motions and didn't take it seriously at all.
Li Xuantian's face looked very ugly when he met Yang Xiuyuan.
He frowned and asked, "Lord Yang, your efficiency in carrying out your errands is truly remarkable. You finish things in just a few days that would take others a month or two."
Yang Xiuyuan immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuantian's words and said solemnly, "I have received great favor from the Emperor, how could I neglect my duties?
I have indeed verified the mission assigned by the Emperor and am here to report."
"I understand you mean to say that the investigation has been completed?"
"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated your words, and it is true that you killed over 130,000 enemy soldiers.
Not only did I personally inspect the scene, but I also saw the captured equipment and armor.
Nowadays, local people have horse meat to eat every meal, so it must be true.
Moreover, I have also met the Third Prince and verified it from his own mouth.
The memorial from His Royal Highness the Prince is indeed silent!"
When the other ministers heard this, they all began to whisper to each other.
Many people simply didn't believe what he said and thought that someone must have covered up for him.
"Since Lord Yang said the investigation is very clear, I would like to ask how His Royal Highness the Prince was able to kill hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen?
Have the barbarian cavalry become so foolish that they would stretch their necks out and not flee even when being hacked at?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Yang Xiuyuan took a closer look and realized that this person was the prince's disciple.
The Crown Prince and the Prince are fighting for the throne and are at loggerheads.
It is normal for him to stand up and question.
Yang Xiuyuan said, "Master Ma has hit the nail on the head. In fact, the victory this time, in addition to His Royal Highness the Prince's fearless command in the face of danger, a large part of the victory was due to luck."
Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard it.
Luck should be relied upon in a war when both sides are of similar strength.
The enemy's cavalry was extremely fierce and was on the offensive.
Even if you can't win, you can escape in time.
How on earth did Prince Yu have such luck that he could destroy so many enemy troops?
Even if they racked their brains, they still thought there was no chance of winning!
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't hide it."
Li Xuantian was also very curious about the course of the battle.
"We were able to win this battle because His Royal Highness used himself as bait, holding out for a day and a night, waiting for General Zhao to send his cavalry for a surprise attack, and only then was he able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop..."
Yang Xiuyuan told everything he knew
When he finished speaking, there was silence.
No one expected that this battle would be so dangerous.
I never expected that the prince would be so popular among the people.
Everyone fought desperately and withstood round after round of attacks from the enemy.
This made the enemy army careless and immediately attacked the city with all their strength, giving Zhao Wudi the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
There was no fault to be found in the entire fighting process.
It certainly doesn't seem like a false fabrication.
It is not difficult to win this battle, but to kill hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, the right time, place and people are all essential.
King Bing Jian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, based on my experience in battle, there is nothing false.
What's more, Lord Yang personally inspected the seized supplies, so it is absolutely impossible that they were fake.
It can be confirmed that His Royal Highness the Prince has indeed made tremendous military achievements."
After hearing that King Bingxiang supported Li Ye, many other officials quickly followed suit.
"I've said it before, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is definitely not a liar, and it's even more impossible for him to deceive the Emperor."
"His Royal Highness is truly an exceptional military talent. Although I have always believed that he is a man of great potential, I still underestimated him."
"Congratulations to the Emperor on having this son. The Yuan Dynasty will surely reach its peak of prosperity within the next one or two hundred years."
Those ministers who supported Li Ye were ecstatic at this moment.
They saw that after Li Ye inherited the throne, he would bring the Yuan Dynasty to a more powerful level.
Moreover, Li Xuantian is in his prime and can stay in power for at least a few decades.
If the two of them join forces, they can definitely conquer the world.
Li Xuantian also had a smile on his face, and he was indeed proud of the great victory his son had won.
I was skeptical about the authenticity of the victory, but now I can finally put my mind at ease.
"Well said, I will reward him greatly and make him the King of Zhenbei, and let him guard the border for Dayuan."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuyuan quickly said, "Your Majesty, I actually have one more thing to say. Please accept the reward first!"
