Chapter 424 The shock of Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi
Because he wanted to avoid the pursuit of the court's pursuers, the Jinyiwei arranged a route to detour the Jianghuai River and then crossed the sea from the Jianghuai River to Andong. Therefore, it took more than half a month later that Li Guangbi and his family came to Andong Liaoyang City to meet Li Fei.
The moment he saw Li Guangbi's family, Guo Ziyi's expression was depressed. He knew that it was difficult for the court to wipe out the anti-military army.
At the same time, Guo Ziyi also felt a little sorry for being unable to make a living.
Why can't the court be united and always make the soldiers feel disappointed? His Majesty is so, why are he only willing to have short-sighted eunuchs around him? He and Li Guangbi have made many military achievements for the court, but they can't stand the eunuchs' mouth.
If he encounters such an injustice, let alone Li Guangbi, who is more upright, even he feels disappointed.
Alas! Guo Ziyi finally sighed sadly.
After Li Guangbi arrived in Liaoyang City, facing Li Fei's recruitment, he agreed to serve Li Fei without any hesitation.
Li Fei was overjoyed and took the opportunity to recruit Guo Ziyi again, but Guo Ziyi still couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart. He felt that Li Fei was a traitor. If he served Li Fei, he would become a traitor, so he had a stinking face and still did not agree.
Li Fei didn't care either. Anyway, he believed that one day he would still be able to recruit Guo Ziyi.
Two days later, Li Fei took Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi to visit An Dongjun's training.
Now the Anton Army has a regular combat force of ten armies of 200,000 people. Moreover, due to the increasing maturity of artillery technology, many cannons were mass-produced. Li Fei established six artillery battalions based on one thousand people and thirty-five cannons per battalion.
Not only are ten regular troops training, but six artillery battalions are also training.
At the training ground, the war horses neighed and the sound of cannons was deafening. Before I could enter, just listening to such movements was enough to shock people.
"Modao, horizontal sword, and horse lance have always been the standard equipment of the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, but this divine arm crossbow is twice as powerful as an ordinary bow and arrow, and the fish scale armor on each soldier is made of steel and has strong protection ability." Li Fei did not hide at all, introducing every equipment of Andong Army to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi.
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were extremely shocked. Although they had always known that Li Fei's Anton Army was well-equipped and had strong combat power, they did not know how precisely it was. Such equipment simply crushed any army in the Tang Dynasty today. Not to mention that every soldier in the Anton Army was full of spirit and morale. How could such soldiers not have strong combat power?
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were even more shocked and were still watching the training of the artillery camp.
There are six artillery battalions, some are trained separately and some are trained together.
The scene of dozens or hundreds of cannons firing together was blown up by the mountaintops of thousands of meters away, and the soil and rocks were splashed, blowing out conspicuous pits.
It can be imagined that if there were enemy troops on the opposite side, how heavy the casualties caused by a round of artillery bombardment would be, and how strong the shock to the enemy soldiers would be. With such a powerful weapon, the enemy would never be able to form a dense military formation, because the dense military formation would be seeking death under such powerful artillery bombardment.
"Will these cannons be assigned to the army in the future?" Li Guangbi's face turned red.
"Natural." Li Fei nodded with a smile.
"Okay, great!" Li Guangbi was excited. Li Fei promised him to command three armies. Every general dreamed of being able to command elite troops. The Anton Army was well-equipped, well-trained soldiers, and strong combat power. If this weapon called "cannon" was added, who could stop it?
With such power in hand, no wonder Li Fei didn't take the court seriously. If Li Fei wanted to rebel, he would probably be more terrifying than the three An Lushans. Li Guangbi was convinced by Li Fei.
On the contrary, Guo Ziyi was shocked and full of sorrow.
It has been a while since I came to Andong. Unlike the Central Plains military system, political system, etc., all of them demonstrate Li Fei's ambitions, and I am also worried that Li Fei would soon become another An Lushan and Shi Siming.
"Pei Ping County Prince, you have such strength. To you, the anti-army is just like a native chicken and a treasure. Why don't you serve the country and leave it in history? Do you really have to learn from An Lushan and Shi Siming's evil spirit?" Guo Ziyi always believed in his thoughts that loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was the right way.
"Leave a name in history? It has been a terrible for thousands of years? That is not something I care about. I only care about whether I and my wife and children can live in the world. Secondly, the happiness of the people in the world, and the rest is not within my consideration. In fact, if the dynasty who was as broad-minded as Taizong, I would have come to this day. If my thoughts like Duke Dai and Duke Zheng today had already come true to me, my family would probably not be able to escape the fate of being executed, so why bother!" Li Fei said calmly.
What he seized the world was not within Li Fei's consideration from the beginning. The reason why he has reached this day is nothing more than fate. He is forced out. Who made Suzong and Daizong not have a mindful emperor? He did not want to be killed inexplicably, and his beautiful wife and children were also implicated. If he wanted to protect himself and protect his wife and children, he could only go on those paths.
Guo Ziyi wanted to speak but stopped and wanted to refute something for the court, but didn't he also suffer the grievances given by the court and His Majesty? His Majesty only believed in the eunuchs around him and had no trust in the generals leading the troops. The eunuchs around him could abduct the generals at will with just a mouth. The cold hearts were not only Li Fei, but what about him and Li Guangbi. Under such conditions, any rebuttal seemed so pale.
"Okay, we won't say this. At least I promised two dukes that with two dukes here, I, Li Fei, will never rebel like An Lushan and Shi Siming, and will add more trouble to the people in the world. When the time comes, I will also send troops to Hebei to wipe out the anti-army!" Li Fei didn't mind making such a promise. He originally did not intend to rebel like An Lushan and Shi Siming, and use the toughest way to seize the world, but in the end he brought disaster to the people and was not popular with the people. To seize the world, he has his own path. Isn't he also taking this path now...
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi both looked at Li Fei. They were famous generals and were not fools. But they didn't believe that Li Fei would give up his ambitions and wanted to see something from Li Fei's face, but only Li Fei's calmness showed that Li Fei did not deceive them.
Li Guangbi looked away first, he was too lazy to think too much. Anyway, he was extremely disappointed with the court, so he now agreed to serve Li Fei, so he made Li Fei the lord.
Guo Ziyi sighed and said nothing in the end. No matter what Li Fei wanted to do, it was not something he could control, and no matter how much he was worried, it would be meaningless.
For some time afterwards, Li Fei closely monitored the war in Hebei and was ready to take action at any time.
