Flame!

The rolling flames devoured Baghdad!

On the morning of the same day, the Tang army fired more than 10,000 rockets at Baghdad. Under such a blow, even the brick and earth buildings in Baghdad were burning. As for the wooden doors, the roofs were the best fuel, and even hundreds of people in the city became the combustion aids in the flames. The fresh life was burned into charcoal, the charcoal turned into fire, and cremated into ashes...

Although the flames of Baghdad cannot be compared with London, they are devastating for this city, and what is really devastating?

It was Li Laiheng who ignored the flames in the city and ordered the continued shelling.

Bombardment, continue firing!

...

When night fell, Li Laiheng stood on the slope outside the city, staring at the burning city of Baghdad. The burning flames turned the night sky red, and the rolling smoke filled the city like dark clouds above the city.

There is no resistance in Baghdad in the flames.

Gunshots, cannons.

It seemed that everything had stopped, the only thing that had not stopped was from rockets that cut through the night sky, like meteors, and thousands of rockets that were poured into Baghdad.

There is no siege, and there is no need to siege.

For Li Laiheng, he didn't need Baghdad at all, or in other words, all he needed was a city, not the people here. He didn't even need this city, as long as there was this place, it was enough.

"It's time to give him a name..."

Li Laiheng said to himself in his heart. But when he stared at the flames, his expression was a little complicated.

"The prince seems to have something to worry about?"

The voices came from behind, which made Li Laiheng sigh and then said.

"As old, I can't help but think more."

The person who came was Li Minghui. He was from Shaanxi like Li Laiheng and a scholar, but in fact he didn't even pass the Tongsheng exam. He just became a "thief" like others for a meal. More than 20 years ago, he was a clerk under Li Laiheng's tent. However, he did have some skills. Among the many staff members, he was not the best, but because of his fellow villagers and surnames, he has always been trusted by Li Laiheng.

"It's not that I'm thinking too much, but that there are some things that I can't stop thinking about!"

Standing beside Duke Jin, Li Minghui said.

"The man is very powerful. Some things, even if you don't think about them, others will think about them. Moreover, after this battle, the relationship between our Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will definitely undergo fundamental changes. The Tang Dynasty will no longer be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it does not accept the Tang Dynasty, it will secretly promise that the Tang Dynasty will stay here. From then on, the Tang Dynasty will no longer have external troubles, and the external troubles will be eliminated..."

For decades, the Tang Dynasty has been waiting for this day. For the Tang Dynasty, the biggest foreign trouble was the Ming Kingdom. As long as the Ming Kingdom could accept the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Kingdom would be relieved. "Measure the Tang Dynasty's material resources and the Ming Dynasty's favor." As long as the Ming Dynasty can receive the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing that cannot be done.

This is the case when sending troops to Baghdad. I also want to use this action to show the Ming Dynasty that the Tang Dynasty was willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and become a "pawn" of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Minghui sighed.

"As the saying goes, birds are hidden, and rabbits are dead and dogs are cooked. The Duke of the Kingdom is unwilling to think about it, but other people will not only think about it, but also do it. At that time, it will not be the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of

But I can't live anymore...

Of course, Li Laiheng knew all this very well, he knew it, and the people around him knew it too.

It is true that he is the adopted son of the king. But the king already has a son.

Even if the king of the country doesn’t think about it, others will think about it. What will they think about?

People around Li Laiheng would think about why the king had to pass the throne to the child of Huangkou?

What will the people around Li Guo think about?

Naturally, I will think about "orthodox". Since the king has children, he should pass on his throne.

Look, everyone will think about this question.

Can Li Guo not think about it?

Besides, there is also the halo of the master who has great achievements!

In the past, why could Li Guo tolerate him?

It was because of external troubles and because of the Ming Dynasty, Li Guo could not kill Li Laiheng, and there was no trouble in the Tang Dynasty, which allowed the Ming Dynasty to take advantage of loopholes.

But what about the future?

"The two rivers are known as the richest place in the world. Look at the land on both sides of the river, if it can be irrigated by the two rivers, its wealth will definitely not be lower than the two banks of the Wei River, but now there are a lot of wasteland. Zidu, after capturing Baghdad, I will farm here and attract immigrants. Within 30 years, this place will definitely become the south of the Middle East..."

Looking at Baghdad City, Li Laiheng said.

In fact, he already had some plans in his mind, such as this time he sent troops, and he had already planned to use this place as a way out.

"What if the king summons you to the future?"

Li Minghui asked with a frown.

“It’s still…”

Li Laiheng pursed his lips and did not speak.

The king issued an order, should he accept it or not?

"How can the prince not follow the order? If he does not follow, then he will be a rioter, and everyone will be punished." Li Minghui directly broke Li Laiheng's fantasy and pointed at Baghdad and said:

"Today, the prince can burn this city. In the future, the prince can destroy the chaos and rebels. Then, the prince will burn this city again. Do you think the prince will sit there and watch the prince conduct separatist practices here?"

Li Laiheng, whose fantasy was broken, looked at the distance silently. He just looked at Baghdad, his face changed from time to time. In fact, for Li Guo, his feelings were extremely complicated. Although he was an adoptive father, he regarded him as his biological father, but... In the face of power, even biological fathers and sons would become enemies of life and death, and moreover, they were just adopted fathers and sons.

Will the adoptive father kill him for his own son?

Li Laiheng had no clear answer in his heart. But he would never be able to ask him to raise an army to kill Li Guo.

But if he was allowed to surrender, and even held Li Guo's heads with both hands, even if it was his own father, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Filial piety is obedient to the religion, loyalty is loyalty, but the mind is always his own. Li Laiheng doesn't want to die of foolish loyalty, and die on false charges like Yue Fei?

He Li Laiheng can't do it!

"Even if the king of the country doesn't want to, what can I do if I am alone?"

After saying this, Li Laiheng's face was full of annoyance. The cruelty of reality made him very helpless. He was neither willing to be a rebel nor willing to die in vain like Yue Fei.

But what can he do?

Now there are just two choices, either life or death, the way to life is there, I didn’t see it, but the way to death?

Looking left and right, it’s a dead end!

How cruel is the power struggle? Perhaps Li Laiheng is unwilling to face it, but after staying in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, he still knows it.

When the world is peaceful, his head...is hard to protect!

Could it be that I really want to eat goose?

Thinking about the legend, he didn't know if Li Laiheng's back would have a sore, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.

At this moment, he heard Li Minghui say.
