In the first year of Jingyun, I heard that the Tang Emperor had died and the young emperor, who was less than three years old, ascended the throne. www.biquge.info The imperial court immediately secretly mobilized grain and grass to increase border defense, and ordered the prefectures of Hebei Province and Guannei Province to wait for the transfer of troops at any time. At the beginning of the second year, chaos in the northeast direction gradually arose, and the Empress Dowager Du was in charge, and the king of Tianshui County was transferred to the governor of Youzhou, and the prince of the military department was named the governor of Pingzhou.

Youzhou and Pingju are both important border cities, forming horns against each other, and have always been regarded as a strong line of defense against the Jin and Goguryeo. And the king of Tianshui County and the prince did not disappoint the Empress Dowager Du and the courtiers - the two not only had outstanding combat power, tearing apart the cavalry of the Yan and Goguryeo, but also the soldiers were divided into two ways, virtual and real, and the cooperation was very tacit. In just two or three months, they captured more than 10,000 enemy leaders, chased down the Yan Ya and the Goguryeo cavalry to flee in all directions, and the good news was spread one after another.

On top of the grassy field, a camp rose from the ground. From a distance, the patrolling guards looked like cold blades that had come out of their sheaths, and the cold light of countless swords, guns, swords, and halberds and the faint bloody aura of the soldiers were almost prohibitive. However, in the midst of such a group of fierce soldiers, a plain-clothed gentleman walked slowly and gracefully, with a dashing posture and handsome appearance, and looked completely out of place with his surroundings.

The soldiers did not squint, and all of them straightened their backs. There are even many people who vaguely seem to be competing with the comrades next to them, and even the muscles on their bodies are bulging. It wasn't until the young man stepped into the main tent in the middle that they relaxed a little and winked at each other.

The Xinfu soldier who had just arrived was full of immaturity, and after changing the guard, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and whispered to the veteran soldier in front of him: "What kind of big man walked in front of us before?" Why do all the brothers seem to be drunk, and they want to fight each other in front of him to prove who is better? "If you put it rudely, they are like a group of hungry men in Zhuangzi who look at the little lady straightly, and they just want to let their family see their own benefits, and they can marry and become daughters-in-law.

The veteran smiled and hooked his shoulder: "What do you think?" What kind of big shot will that be? ”

"Captain Guo Yi who cares about us? No, our peak is Liu Guoyi. It must be the Captain of the Folding, who is above the Captain of Guoyi!! can look at his face, like a sour literati who can only bite and chew words, he is more white and handsome than the son of the county order family in my hometown, and he doesn't look like a person from our army at all!! The recruit guessed and guessed, causing the veterans next to him to laugh out loud.

"The highest-ranking officials you've seen in your life, could it be that they are Captain Guoyi and Captain Zhichong?! The son of the county commander's family! Even if it is the son of the ten or eight county order families, or even the sons of the Envoy (Thorn History) family, it is not as good as half a finger of that one!! ”

The recruits were ignorant, and after listening to their teasing, they couldn't help but ask again: "Isn't the peak of the Commander of the Commander of the Folding, the Governor of the Metropolis?" How can there be such a young Grand Governor? My grandfather also fought with Emperor Taizong decades ago, and at that time, the youngest governor was also forty or fifty years old. Grandfather wouldn't lie to me—besides, the governor of any family grew up like this. Standing on the street, the melons and fruits thrown by the big lady and the little lady can knock him down. ”

The veterans burst into laughter again, winking at each other: "You still look down on him?" Hundreds of you pile up, and you can't help our Metropolitan Governor! Looking at his white face, there are only thin calluses on his fingers, and the bow he can pull, we can't even pull it!! Not to mention slaughtering those barbarians and Goguryeo traitors, killing hundreds of people, and not even a drop of blood on their bodies!! ”

The more they talked, the more intoxicated they became, and they portrayed it vividly, speaking of the young and handsome young man as if he had descended from heaven. However, the recruit was not entirely convinced, and couldn't help but say, "Which of you has seen it with your own eyes?" Either listen to this or that, like those long-tongued women who spread the news at the entrance of our village. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. "How could such a thin and thin white-faced scholar be an invincible governor? How can you single-handedly kill hundreds of enemies?!

The veterans were stunned, thinking that he had ruined everyone's interest, so they left him and went to talk about it. At the beginning, they also wanted to teach this yellow-haired boy a lesson so that he could understand the prestige and status of the Metropolitan Governor in the eyes of everyone. But if you think about it, why weren't they like that in the first place?

When you first met the Grand Duke, who didn't despise him? Think he's weak and deceivable? Dare to disobey his military orders?

When he cleaned up those thorns and hob meat with his own hands in front of everyone, who else dared to underestimate him? When he sees that he has killed countless enemies, but he is still shining, who else does not respect him? When he follows him to break the enemy and win, and when he pursues the enemy like a wolf hunting a flock, who doesn't love him? Want to play under him for the rest of your life?

They are all men born in the frontier, they are bloody men, and they are strong warriors, people who can bring peace to their homeland. No matter where the Governor swung his sword, they would not hesitate to charge into battle, because they all believed from the bottom of their hearts that the Metropolitan would definitely let them win.

At the same time, in the main army tent. The young Metropolitan Governor took the emergency military report and looked at it at a glance, his eyes were clear, as if a favorable light was looming: "How sure are you that it's them?" ”

Sun Guoyi said that he was eighty percent sure. Although they grew beards and changed into Goguryeo costumes, their manners and diets still had the style of the Tang people. Moreover, one such can be regarded as an exception, but if dozens or hundreds of people are like this, it will not be an exception. What's more, those Goguryeo people were also quite alienated from them, and they were not allowed to retreat with the army, but drove them to flee alone, which should be jealous of them. ”

"Okay." The Metropolitan Governor curled the corners of his lips, "After five years, I should also meet this old friend for a while." ”

Immediately, the Governor of Dadu temporarily entrusted everything to the left Sima Wei Chi Dalang and the right Sima Cheng Qing, and randomly ordered hundreds of soldiers who were resting, and set off with high spirits. After sending them out of the camp, Wei Chi Dalang couldn't help but say, "In the eyes of the Grand Governor, isn't the matter of pursuing Goguryeo and the remnants of the Yan Dynasty important enough? ”

"Maybe he's just trying to wrap it up." Cheng Qing said lazily, "Cut off this head and send it back to Chang'an, maybe it will make his family laugh?" You must know that if it hadn't been for this little mistake back then, maybe the exploits of the first emperor could have gone to the next level. ”

"......" Wei Chi Dalang was speechless for a moment.

The ignorant guards stationed next to them couldn't help but think: It is worthy of being the Metropolitan Governor, and even the preferences of the insiders are so different!!

Thousands of miles away, the insiders of the Dadu Governor's family were galloping with the little emperor's imperial horse in their arms, leading bows and arrows. After being hit by an arrow, he couldn't help but sneeze lightly, causing the little emperor to look back, and said in a milky voice: "Brother must be like me, greedy and cold, eating too much cold." From today onwards, my brother will be the same as me, and he will not eat cold Hutu, right? ”

"......" The king of Xin'an County, who was blessed and shared with difficulties, smiled helplessly, and had to agree with doting.

*******************

In an instant, more than ten days later, the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty and Goguryeo was nearing the end. The last time they united with Goguryeo, they tried to return to their division and fight back. However, the plan was good, and somehow, the place where the Great Khan of the Yan Dynasty was stationed happened to meet the Governor of Pingzhou and his party who led hundreds of soldiers around the outside.

Knowing that he had gone deep alone and might be surrounded by the Ya tribe at any time, the Grand Governor had no fear at all, and even attacked the sweat tent as if he was chopping melons and vegetables. There were more than a thousand warriors guarding the tent, and more than six or seven hundred were killed by the soldiers he led, and the rest were tied up and taken prisoner.

Under the excited eyes of the soldiers, including the recruits who had questioned the prestige of the Metropolitan Governor before, but now looked forward to the Metropolitan Governor more than anyone else, the Metropolitan Governor of Pingzhou slowly walked into the tent of the Divine Khan. Sitting in the sweat tent, he looked around, playing with the treasures of the Khan, and sighed softly: "The dog that lost the family is really not so easy to find. With that, he ordered some of his subordinates to escort the captives and treasures back to the camp, while he took the remaining 200 or so men to change into the garb of the descent, cleaned up the camp in a leisurely manner, and continued to move forward slowly.

At this time, some people who were chased by the Tang Dynasty soldiers and had almost no way to escape, finally crashed headlong into the open net. When the leader heard the report from his subordinates that there was a tent of the Khan in front of him, his red eyes finally flashed with a sense of relaxation: "Go and see the Great Khan immediately!" Please take us in the Great Khan, and I will repay him a hundredfold and a thousand times in the future!! ”

The Khan Tent accepted the last of their possessions, and only reluctantly agreed with them. The heart of the leader couldn't help but rise with astringency and strong unwillingness. I think back then, he was also a figure who was a golden branch and jade leaf, scolding Fang Xuan. At that time, he was extremely beautiful, and the nearby Turkic and Tiele tribes sent him heavy gifts and prayed for care every year. Even the Turbulent Sect and Goguryeo, which were thousands of miles away, secretly sent treasures worth thousands of gold.

But now? He became homeless in fear. When he was in the steppe, in order to avoid the search of the imperial army, he had to resort to the Turkic and Tiele tribes. But the barbarians did not believe their word, and after receiving the goods, they changed their faces one after another, and drove their father and son out of the wilderness where they could at least gallop as horse thieves.

In order to survive, he had to flee to this wild land, pretending to be a Goguryeo. He could only abandon his name and identity and survive as a group of Goguryeo mountain bandits. Just when he thought that he might live numbly like this for the rest of his life, the news of the death of the first emperor and the accession of the young emperor to the throne came. He was overjoyed and thought his chance had finally come. However, after paying most of the treasured goods, it was finally said that Goguryeo and the Jin Ya were united again, but the best opportunity had been missed.

Moreover, he never expected that in addition to Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, another young prince of the metropolitan governor, was also so ruthless. In the sixth year of the general chapter, when he left Chang'an, who was chasing after him and almost killed him? ! Is it Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, or is it the inconspicuous governor of the king?

He wanted an answer.

He wanted to at least avenge the two swords at that time!!

For this reason, even if he is embarrassed, he must survive for a long time!!

When Li Chen, the former king of Hejian County, came to the tent with the few remaining cronies, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. These knights were indeed very strong, but they didn't look like Hu people who hunted in the mountains, but more like—he was so frightened that he gave his cronies a look and wanted to leave.

However, before they could take a few steps back, a young man stepped out of the tent.

He wears a mask of exorcism, only his beautifully shaped jaw is exposed, and a pair of eyes look at him with a smile - it is no different from years ago!!

Li Chen's eyes were about to split, and he instantly put aside his reason, twisted his face and said, "It's you...... It turned out to be you!! "This is the culprit who humiliated him for the first time in his life!! This almost cost him his life, and he had to run in embarrassment, an opponent who had no majesty among his subordinates!! It's him!!

"Yes, the king...... No, the traitor Li Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

The young man took off his mask, revealing a handsome face. Five or six years have passed, but he seems to have never been invaded by time, but has been carved over the years, becoming more unique and unforgettable. At that time, Wang Buque, who was still a little green, is now the governor of the town who is purple, and between talking and laughing, tens of thousands of corpses have fallen, and blood is flowing.

In contrast, at that time, the king of Hejianjun, the governor of Shengzhou, who had a heavy army in his hands and a heroic posture, now seems to have aged for 20 years, and his clothes are no different from those of Goguryeo commoners, and there are only a few digits of the majesty of the superiors. Six years of wandering and suffering made him flourish. Originally, he was only in his thirties, but now he is like a man in his fifties and sixties.

New hatred and old hatred gathered, Li Chen drew his knife and rushed forward with a shout: "Sons! Kill this fang!! The hatred in my heart for Lone Snow!! "If he doesn't kill this person, he will always have a thorn in his heart, and he can't pull it out even if he dies. What's more, if you want to break the encirclement strategy they have set up, the only way to kill the main general is to capture the thief first! !

His cronies followed without hesitation, but the second son stood still and suddenly muttered, "Why is this so...... I should have lived like this...... I should also ......" As the son of the king of the clan, he should also be so jade and calm, instead of running around like a rat, even worse than those civilians who have land, land and homes. When his father rebelled, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and he only thought that he would be the prince in the future, and he never thought that he would live such a life after failure.

If you have to live like this in the future, it is better to be caught and exiled for thousands of miles...... At least you don't have to worry about being caught at all times......

In an instant, a head flew out from front of him, and his eyes were wide and dead.

Immediately after, warm blood splattered all over his face, and corpses fell in front of him.

The governor of the king only killed the rebel king and cut off his head. The rest were dealt with by the soldiers who had already been ambushed with a rain of arrows, and if there were any who wanted to rush out, another soldier was specially responsible for stabbing with swords. Half an hour later, two or three hundred rebels were also killed, leaving only the second son of the king of Hejian County, who was completely stunned.

"Tie him up, cut off his head, let's go back to the camp."

When he returned to the camp, the governor took the treasures that the soldiers had specially selected for him. However, he didn't look at the red gemstone necklace inside, but used the sandalwood box containing the treasure to put the head of the rebel king Li Chen into it, and piled up a lot of spices to embalm.

After that, he looked up at the weather: "It's already mid-autumn, so I should be able to save some more time." Hurry up 800 miles and send this box back to your house. When he said this, his face was full of tenderness: "He must like this gift." "Li Chen has always been their confidant, and now that he has finally been killed, there is no need to worry about when he will come out again to stir up the storm.

Seeing the herald leave with the wooden box, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the ignorant guards guarding the side: The inner man of the Grand Governor, sure enough...... Extraordinary! Ordinary people can't stand it at all!! After glancing at each other, they couldn't help but imagine how the Grand Governor would react when she opened the wooden box and saw the hideous head inside.

A few days later, the head of the rebel king Li Chen was displayed to the public and hung on the halberd in front of the gate of Chang'an City.

The king of Xin'an County held the little emperor and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, you must not be merciful to the thieves who plot against the rebellion. ”

"Well, I see. Punish when you should be punished, and reward when you should be rewarded. Occasionally, you can be soft-hearted, but there are some things that you must never be soft-hearted. ”

"Well said. Tonight, Your Majesty can eat an extra piece of osmanthus cake. ”

"Brother is so good to me!!"

"Don't let your eldest sister know."

"Brother, don't worry, I promise not to tell anyone!"
