Somewhere in Vietnam
Li Xiang has already set out from Chang'an City, and some things here have to start. For example, they have just received an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin can leave now.
"No, no, you bastards, what are you doing with these things? Throw them away right here. We agreed to leave today, so we must leave today. His Highness can't wait any longer. If you guys delay us, be careful that His Highness will chop off your heads."
Eunuch Wu beside His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin said loudly that he had just received news this morning that Li Xiang had agreed to let Prince of Jin Li Zhi leave Vietnam. The subtropical life during this period had made these people sick, including the servants, and no one knew how many of them had fallen ill.
Actually, this disease is not that serious, it is just a simple cold, and there are some signs of mosquito bites on the body, but this disease is really torturous. A person's energy is limited, and people are still quite afraid of colds in this era. Everyone is afraid that they will lose their life here, so when they heard that they could leave, these people were very happy.
Some people are also dissatisfied. It would have been much better to stay in the fiefdom honestly in the past than this place. However, His Royal Highness Prince Jin could not stand the loneliness and always wanted to make military achievements on the battlefield and get some people in the court to support him. Now, look what happened. He didn't get any military achievements, but was embarrassed for a long time, and even made us all laugh at him.
At this moment, Prince Jin Li Zhi was also regretting his decision very much. If he had known this would happen, he would never have come to this place. When the war entered a stalemate, some of his men began to fall ill. The army also sent some prescriptions for treatment, but they did not take them seriously at the beginning, so the disease spread instantly, causing most of the people in his palace to become sick.
Li Xiang told his subordinates at that time that this disease was nothing more than a heat cold, or in other words, heatstroke, but it was quite serious. Unfortunately, no one listened and continued to run around outside. The sunlight here was much stronger than that in Chang'an City.
Then it started to rain continuously. Many people couldn't stand the constant changes in weather, but it was okay for the soldiers fighting in this area. They had long adapted to the climate here. This was also the reason why Li Xiang had asked them to train in Yunnan and Guizhou.
However, the people under Prince Jin Li Zhi were not used to it at all, so these people would rather pray for their lives than come to do business. They had long wanted to go back, but the court had not issued any orders. If you sneak back, you will become a deserter.
"The Protector General has arrived."
Just when they were busy packing up, Annan Protector General Chang Sun Ze came with his men to discuss when to hold a farewell ceremony. Although they did not get along very well with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and even had a tense situation at one point, he was a prince of the court after all. When he returned from their jurisdiction, the proper ceremony must be carried out. This was not only related to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but most importantly, it was the majesty of the court.
At this moment, everyone is in the Vietnamese-occupied area. If the prince of the court is not taken seriously, many people will notice this matter and associate it with many other things. Those who have already surrendered will also cause a lot of trouble. So even if it is for these people to see, Chang Sun Ze has to bite the bullet and do it. What's more, Li Xiang's order has already said that what should be done should be done.
According to Changsun Ze and Huo Qubing's ideas, they should let this guy leave on his own. He agreed to go to the front line to help fight, but what benefits has he brought us?
Thinking carefully about the days when His Royal Highness Prince Jin came to the front line, it seemed that he didn't bring us any good things, but brought us a lot of trouble. However, this guy didn't think so, and kept giving orders on various battlefields. Moreover, after he arrived at the combat command location, a large group of people had to kneel down to salute him, which seriously slowed down our speed.
Now that they heard that the court wanted him to go back, many generals were about to set off firecrackers, but they were scolded back by Huo Qubing. If you do this, many Vietnamese will realize that we are not united, and these people are likely to take advantage of us. Even though we have already taken over most of Vietnam, if we let them take advantage of us, our rear will also be unstable.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
Changsun Ze and Prince of Jin Li Zhi were also cousins. Empress Changsun was Changsun Ze's aunt. The relationship between the two was originally good, after all, this relationship was not fake. However, because of the front line in Vietnam, the relationship between the two could almost be said to have broken down. Not to mention being cousins, even if they were brothers, they would probably have broken up.
The two sides had completely different ideas. Prince Li Zhi of Jin felt that since this guy didn't listen to him, he was plotting a rebellion, and he even wrote it down in his memorial.
Chang Sun Ze felt that this guy was useless on the front line, but instead brought tremendous pressure to the Tang army, which was also reflected in the memorial.
In the end, all the memorials fell into the hands of Changsun Wuji. Seeing his nephew and son fighting like this, Changsun Wuji started to exert his strength. He had to separate the two men.
Chang Sunze is the Protector General of Annan and is more familiar with the situation here. The war is still going on. If you bring him back, the newcomer will delay the war. Who will be responsible then?
No one inside or outside the court could take on this responsibility, so they had to bring His Royal Highness the Prince back. It happened that Li Xiang was going south, so a member of the royal family would be in charge. So His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin could return to Beijing to recuperate. It was still a gain. In the past, he might have had to return to his fiefdom, which was a poor place. Now he could return to Chang'an, which was a blessing in disguise.
"Are you so impatient to see me leave?"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was supported by two young eunuchs. His face was sallow and it was obvious that he had been in poor health recently. Although he had been treated with various medicines, curing the disease was as difficult as pulling out a thread and it would not be cured in a day or two. Moreover, this guy was narrow-minded and he had suffered a lot during this period.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? I'm here to deliver Cheng Yi to Your Highness."
After Chang Sun Ze finished speaking, he waved his hand and his men brought up several large boxes. Prince Li Zhi of Jin's eyes also lit up.
