Chapter 976: The backward war

If Li Xiang had not appeared, a similar war would have broken out in the Tang Dynasty. However, because of Li Xiang's appearance, people like Qian Ping looked down upon similar wars. They believed that such a way of warfare was purely child's play. If we had chosen to attack the city, the city would have been in our hands now.

According to their judgment, no matter how brave your soldiers are or how united the people in the city are, these things will be insignificant in the face of advanced combat methods and weapons, and in the end they will still become our prisoners.

Originally, Hu San asked his subordinates to come and take a look and learn from it, but these people left after watching for a while. As their general, Hu San felt embarrassed to ask them to come back and take a look, as there was really nothing to learn.

"you……"

Watching his men riding away on horseback, Hu San really didn't know what to say. You guys should at least give me some face and stay here for half a day. You've been here for less than half an incense stick of time and you're already ready to leave.

"General Hu, don't be angry. This situation is normal. Let them stay here. They have all seen the world with His Highness. If something fancy could happen here, I think they would be willing to watch it. But even I don't want to watch a siege of this scale."

Qian Ping smiled and poured Hushan a cup of tea. Although they were far away from the city wall, they could still observe the battle situation very well because of their wide field of vision and the telescope exchanged by Li Xiang. However, they were patient because they wanted to know the overall situation of the battle. These young generals below were different. They came to learn from the experience, but what was there to learn from the experience in front of them?

In fact, it is normal for them to have such abnormalities. A war of this intensity is not as strong as what we have seen in the training camp. This is mainly because the Nanzhao Kingdom has been at peace for too long. Therefore, even if they mobilized the whole country to wage a war, in the eyes of some young generals in the Tang Dynasty, this is not worthy of mention.

"According to the date, our people should have taken action. If nothing goes wrong, His Highness should have the letter."

Hu San was too lazy to argue with these people, so he quickly found a way to change the subject. The King of Nanzhao had sent someone to deliver a letter when the change began. If they had traveled day and night, they should have crossed the border by now. Everyone thought that Li Xiang had returned to Chang'an, but only the most core people like them knew that Li Xiang had actually stayed in Sichuan all the time, and it was only Li Xiang's caravan that returned to Chang'an.

"It should have been received. Even if it wasn't, I think His Highness knows the situation here."

The letter from the King of Nanzhao may have been transmitted slowly, but they had been submitting memorials non-stop. Since the changes here began, they had submitted more than a dozen memorials. They were all aware of Li Xiang's intelligence and could easily deduce what had happened here.

"Then our chance to show our ambitions is coming. When the army from the north arrives, my men will be able to go out on the battlefield and show off their talents. These guys usually have high expectations but low skills, so now is a chance for them to gain experience. If they can't display their talents after the opportunity, then they are of no use."

Looking at his subordinates going away, Hu San was also very depressed. In the past, people like us had no chance to gain experience. We had to go to the battlefield as soon as we were taken out of the system. Many people were killed at that time. You people have the opportunity to train, but you don’t take it seriously.

"General, don't have too many illusions. I estimate that in the next ten days or half a month, we should be the same as before. They will definitely keep us on hold. Don't you know how our Highness works? We have to let these two sides fight to the death. How far have we reached now? If our army comes, the lives of the people will not be greatly affected. We have to let them gradually move out of the circle. If they keep fighting, we will be unable to contain them. When the people can no longer survive, it is time for us to take action."

Qian Ping had been with Li Xiang for a long time, so he naturally knew what he was thinking. Li Xiang's convoy continued to move towards Chang'an City. What did this mean? This meant they could attack or defend. If Li Xiang didn't want to interfere, he would definitely let this letter follow the convoy to Chang'an. How long would this round trip take?

But if they wanted to interfere, they could just find any excuse to send troops over. After all, Li Xiang himself was in Sichuan, and on the border between Sichuan and Nanzhao Kingdom. It would only take a few days for him to come and attack, and he would never let the situation develop here.

While the two were discussing, Li Xiang had indeed found a place to go fishing. This place was truly picturesque with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Xiao Yu had just finished dealing with his affairs, so he accompanied Li Xiang to travel in Sichuan for a few days. As for the tense situation in Nanzhao Kingdom, it seemed to have no effect at all on the two of them. Anyway, what we want to do is to clean up a mess, and now that mess hasn't happened yet, why should we be in such a hurry?

"Your Highness's character is getting better and better. If most young people were to sit here for an entire afternoon, it would be a real death sentence for them. I don't know about other young people, but take these bastards in my family for example. If they were to accompany me fishing for an entire afternoon, I might as well kill them."

What Xiao Yu said was the truth. Fishing is something that requires a lot of patience. If you don't have enough patience, sitting here fishing is like asking for your life. Xiao Yu's descendants are not good at this. They originally wanted to use this to temper their character, but after they came, they didn't want to do anything except throwing stones.

"The young people in your family are not good enough. Among all the wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, your young people are already ranked at the top. From the northwest to Sichuan, under your training, I think these young people are good. If you are still not satisfied, those old men in the capital will beat them up, and then this old bone will not be able to withstand it."

Li Xiang pulled up a fish with one pull. This was the third fish he had caught this afternoon. The result was not bad. Listening to Li Xiang's teasing, Xiao Yu said that it was not that good, but he was actually very satisfied in his heart.
