Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Qin Ruzhao showed extraordinary abilities since he was a child and was noticed by Li Chengqian at a young age.

Qin Ruzhao followed Li Chengqian, serving him at all times, and even stepped forward many times in life-and-death situations to clear the many obstacles on His Majesty's road to the throne.

Finally, His Majesty successfully ascended the throne, and Qin Ruzhao became a great contributor to this power transition.

In all dynasties, such merits of following the emperor would be enough to make him enjoy wealth and glory.

But he was born during the Qianwu period of the Tang Dynasty.

Before that, the prosperity of the Zhenguan era was unsurpassed.

During the Zhenguan era, the Tang Dynasty was full of talented people and generals, among whom Li Jing and Li Ji were the most dazzling twin stars.

Li Jing fought countless battles in his life. He pacified the south of the Yangtze River, destroyed the Eastern Turks in the north, and defeated the Tuyuhun in the west. His military talent was superb. Wherever he went, the enemy was terrified. He opened up vast territory for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ji was also a renowned military leader. In his early years, he served under Emperor Li Shimin and achieved remarkable feats during the Tang Dynasty's wars of unification, becoming a pillar of the Tang dynasty. Common people often discussed these heroes, passing their stories from mouth to mouth and reveling them as legends.

In such a comparison, although Qin Ruzhao also made remarkable achievements, he was inevitably considered by the world to be still far behind the famous generals of the Zhenguan period such as Li Jing and Li Ji. His brilliance seemed to be overshadowed by the glorious Zhenguan era.

But Wang Wen has a completely different opinion of Qin Ruzhao.

In Wang Wen's eyes, Qin Ruzhao was a general who was not bound by the world.

He does not have the sophistication of those old-time officials and is not keen on forming cliques for personal gain.

In his heart, there is only loyalty to His Majesty and adherence to justice.

Take the current war in India for example. The task is arduous and full of risks. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even dare to think of letting a young man like Wang Wen get involved, let alone entrust him with such an important task.

After all, if the mission fails, it will not only affect the entire battle situation, but may also ruin one's reputation.

But Qin Ruzhao not only gave such a critical task to Wang Wen, but also allocated half of the 3,000 soldiers to him without hesitation.

To hand over half of the strength of such an ace unit to a young man, it requires a lot of trust and courage, and a lot of firm confidence in Wang Wen's ability.

If this fails, Qin Ruzhao will definitely be severely punished, and his future may even be ruined.

But if it succeeds, people will tend to be more keen on telling the story of the young man creating a miracle, and Wang Wen will become the focus of everyone's attention, while Qin Ruzhao will most likely only be a silent supporter behind the scenes, and the benefits he will get will be far less than Wang Wen.

But Qin Ruzhao didn't seem to consider these personal gains and losses at all. He just hoped to find the most suitable person to complete this difficult task.

This kindness was as heavy as Mount Tai. Wang Wen was moved to tears and secretly vowed to repay Qin Ruzhao's trust no matter what the cost.

Over the next two days, all parts of India seemed to be swept by an invisible wind, and the news spread as quickly as wildfire.

The people heard that their king, in order to resist the Tang army, had brutally massacred all the small countries and towns around the old Ye city.

Many people swore that they had witnessed those horrific scenes with their own eyes.

The town was burned down by fire, the ruins were filled with the corpses of civilians, the blood dyed the earth red, and the cries of the elderly, women and children seemed to still echo in the ears. The scenes were horrifying and filled with fear and anger at the atrocities of the rulers of their country.

On the other hand, the Tang army maintained strict discipline during the march and did not harm the civilians.

They do not rob people of their property, do not disturb their lives, and even lend a helping hand when people encounter difficulties.

This sharp contrast quietly tilted the balance in the hearts of the people of India.

The Indian people, who have long lived under the oppression of the caste system, have long become numb and lost hope in life.

They were regarded as the filth of the world, inferior to human beings, and had long been bullied and oppressed by the nobles and upper castes.

But after hearing the news, they seemed to be gently touched by something in their hearts. They slowly raised their heads. Although there was still helplessness in their eyes, the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time began to grow quietly in their hearts.

Especially those people who had managed to survive around the old Ye City. They witnessed the brutality of the Indian soldiers with their own eyes. Their entire families were ruthlessly slaughtered, and they felt extremely sad.

At this time, they not only did not have any ill will towards the Tang army, but instead a glimmer of hope ignited, hoping that the Tang army would be able to win and capture their cruel king. In this way, perhaps they could escape from this dark life and live a better life.

As time went by, more and more people knew about the evil deeds of the four kings of India, and the good reputation of the Tang army was also passed on from mouth to mouth among the people.

There are many small countries in the land of India. After the news spread, those small kings vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

However, they had long been high and mighty, accustomed to the indifference and oppression of the people, and did not take these "piglets" seriously at all. In their view, even if the people had grievances, they were just a group of lambs to be slaughtered and could not cause any trouble at all.

They still lived a life of luxury and pleasure, were completely unaware of the impending crisis, and continued to exploit the people wantonly.

For ten whole days, Wang Wen did nothing except sending people to spread the news in an orderly manner, as if he was waiting for something.

Qin Ruzhao also showed extraordinary patience. He believed in Wang Wen's plan and did not rush him.

But Li Jingyou could not sit still. As the crown prince, this expedition concerned his prestige and future.

If the war failed, his position in the court would also be affected. He was anxious and wanted to see the result, so he asked Wang Wen about the progress many times.

Facing the prince's eagerness, Wang Wen simply bowed respectfully and said calmly, "Let the fire burn brighter."

After hearing this, Li Jingyou found it difficult to understand Wang Wen's profound meaning. Ten days had passed since the one-month deadline.

Time is running out. Can we really take over Old Ye City in the remaining time?

In fact, Wang Wen's heart is not as calm as he appears on the surface.

The key to this war lies not in the number of troops, but in the support of the people.

He has been waiting, waiting for the anger in the hearts of the people to burn out completely, waiting for them to stand up on their own to resist the injustice of fate.

To this end, he carefully arranged leaders in many places, who were oppressed young people.

They are like sparks hidden in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to take the lead in raising their arms and shouting, "Kings, princes, generals, and ministers, are they all born with a special kind of talent?"
