The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1021

After hearing Xu Tian's words, the generals responded one after another.

"Alright, then keep this man's head for now, and kill him when the time is right, as the prince said."

Anyway, they don't care about this short period of time.

Xu Tian soon received a message from his secret guards.

After reading the letter, Xu Tian smiled.

"Li Yuan, you're practically asking for death."

Xu Tian received the message from Wang Fujiang and went directly into the imperial city.

In the imperial study, the emperor asked Li Zhi, "What does Your Majesty think should be done about this matter?"

Li Zhi was still young, and Xu Tian was afraid that he would have to be more cautious in his actions in the future, so he had to go through Li Zhi for everything.

This will not only allow Li Zhi to train, but also teach him to handle any situation on his own.

Xu Tian submitted a memorial to Emperor Gaozong (Li Zhi) on how to handle this matter.

When Li Zhi learned of this, he was taken aback at first.

He never expected that Li Yuan, who had applied to leave Chang'an, would have such intentions.

He genuinely believed at the time that Li Yuan had reformed.

I never expected this guy to use a retreat as a tactic to advance.

The purpose was to one day be able to take Chang'an directly.

Li Zhi sneered.

Upon learning that Li Zhi's men were about to enter Chang'an, he began to make plans.

“Master, now that they have already marched on to Chang’an, these 20,000 soldiers are no small number. We must proceed with caution.”

After he finished speaking, he immediately unfolded Li Yuan's marching map.

"There's only one way for so many of them to reach Chang'an."

Li Zhi pointed to the only road that could be taken and said to Xu Tian, ​​"Is this the best place to ambush them? If we arrange for people to ambush them here in advance, we can be absolutely certain of success and wipe out their entire army."

Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Xu Tian's bodyguard smiled.

Because that's exactly what he planned.

It is unexpected that Li Zhi, despite his young age, was full of strategic ideas.

This coincided with his thoughts.

If they implement this plan, they can wipe out all the people Li Yuan sent at the outer pass.

By then, even Li Yuanlai won't be able to come; his entire army will have been wiped out.

This plan was something he had planned long ago.

Li Yuan's men had no chance of returning this time.

"Your Majesty is indeed exceptionally resourceful. As long as we ambush him here, we will surely be able to kill Wang Fujiang here."

Xu Tian already knew what kind of person Wang Fujiang was and what his military capabilities were.

As long as they carry out this plan to assassinate Wang Fujiang, there will be absolutely no trouble.

This time, the plan was carried out by Xu Tian himself.

If Li Zhi had proposed a plan, they would have intercepted and killed Wang Fujiang and his men on the way.

Xu Tian personally led the troops forward, and before that, he sent a message that he would stay in the palace with Li Zhi for a period of time.

Naturally, no one will see him during this period.

This statement was merely a smokescreen, intended to let Li Yuan's subordinates know that he had been inside the imperial city all along.

After all the plans have been perfected.

Xu Tian led his large group forward at full speed.

They then met up directly with the brothers who were lying in ambush ahead.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Xu Tian arrive, these veteran soldiers were even more excited.

Xu Tian nodded.

"Everyone must be on high alert. We must wipe them out in one fell swoop and leave the enemy with absolutely no chance."

Xu Tian gave these orders.

The soldiers were already in high spirits, and upon hearing his command, they all responded loudly.
