"Off topic, this is not the same as your father-in-law's farming." Yuan Ziyan corrected.

"Actually, it's a reason. My father-in-law is stingy, and when he is busy with farming, he is reluctant to spend a lot of money to invite a few more people, so he has to use a few people, but these people are lazy not to say, and it is easy to catch up with the rainy weather, and I don't know how much food will be spoiled. The young man shook his head and sighed.

"Hehe, what do you mean, does Datang have to use more troops to win this time?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

"Hehe, the noble man is half right, the troops are naturally sufficient, but there must be more ways!" The young man knelt on the ground on one leg, pointed to the stones on the ground and said: "A waterway should be a waterway, and hundreds of warships should be built, starting from Dongnae, crossing the Bohai Sea, and going straight to Pyongyang, Goryeo!" ”

Li Shimin nodded slightly and asked casually, "What's your name?" ”

"Xue Rengui!" The young man replied casually, but Yuan Ziyan was secretly taken aback, it turned out that Xue Rengui, who was famous in history, was the unemployed young man in front of him.

"Also, the rest will lead tens of thousands of cavalry, contact those foreign races who belong to them halfway, and capture Liaodong by land, of course, the two armies must set off at the same time, calculate the itinerary, unreliable before, unreliable after, as for the weapon, you can supervise the craftsman to build, it doesn't matter if it's too late......"

When, a piece of thing landed in front of Xue Rengui, he grinned and slapped his thigh, "Hehe, the noble man can see it accurately, this place can't be ignored, put this stone down first." Hey? ”

Xue Rengui suddenly found that what he was holding in his hand was not a stone, but a piece of yellow gold, and he looked up in disbelief, but there was no one in front of him. I was stunned and took the gold in my mouth and bit it hard, really!

"I'll just say I met a fairy!" Xue Rengui was stunned and put the gold in his pocket and patted the soil on his body. Looked around and got home. Of course, he soon received an offer of acceptance and became a minor officer in the army on the land.

The sudden happiness made Xue Rengui happy all day long, first of all, this ingot of gold drove the income of the old man for three years, of course, he put on a smiling face on this uncle, and asked his daughter to pull a few pieces of flower cloth to make new clothes.

Other than that. Xue Rengui, who didn't learn or have no skills, suddenly became an officer, and all the neighbors came to talk to him, although the gifts were not expensive enough. But I can't stand more, the rice and noodles are enough for the whole family to eat for a year.

Xue Rengui gave all the gold and gifts to his father-in-law, and asked him to take good care of his daughter-in-law. In the coming day, he will be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister. The daughter-in-law is the future Mrs. Yipin, and whoever offends her is a dead end.

This time, Li Shimin also accompanied his ace division Xuanjia Army, with a total of 150,000 Tang troops, which were divided into two routes according to Xue Rengui's strategy and approached Goryeo.

Xue Rengui is not as pompous as he imagined, and he will show off everywhere that this is his strategy, but he knows in his heart that he must have met a powerful person last time. can humbly listen to the words of a man in the market, so he is more diligent. Bravely kill the enemy, hoping to make a great contribution as soon as possible and repay the kindness of the encounter at that time.

Li Shimin was good at cavalry, so he naturally took the land route, starting from Luoyang and approaching Goryeo. However, due to Tang Jun's blind self-confidence, it has not been smooth sailing along the way, and there have been dangerous situations several times.

"Your Majesty, it's not good! General Liu Junqiong was besieged by enemy troops and could not get out! Early one morning, the guards hurriedly came to report.

At this time, it was a day in the spring of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, and the temperature in the early morning was still very low, even more so in the north, and many people were wearing cotton clothes.

Li Shimin hurriedly walked out of the camp tent, frowned, and said, "Why don't you send someone to support?" ”

"Your Majesty, the other party intends to trap General Liu, set up obstacles on the road, block reinforcements, and few people can break through." The guard replied tremblingly.

"There are very few people, that is, there are still people in there?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

"There was a red-faced tiger-backed soldier who broke in with a gun, and he must have died at this time."

Li Shimin waved his hand, signaled the guards to go down, and at the same time issued an order to increase support, and be sure to rescue General Liu!

Li Shimin climbed high and looked far away, the situation below was indeed worrying, Liu Junqiong was besieged by 5,000 people, and the Tang army beside him was only a few hundred, and he himself was drenched in blood, presumably the injury was not light.

Looking further south, sure enough, there were ambushes to stop the Tang army that went to support, and occasionally someone broke through the encirclement, and they were quickly chased and killed.

"Shimin, they should want to capture General Liu alive and use him as a hostage to force us and others." Yuan Ziyan analyzed.

"Hey, Liu Junqiong is both loyal and righteous, how can he be willing to be a prisoner, he will definitely cut himself off. It's a pity that my Datang has lost a good general! Li Shimin sighed.

"Look at the people, look at the man!" Yuan Ziyan pointed to a person not far from Liu Junqiong and said hurriedly.

Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and was surprised to find that a person was wielding Fang Tian's halberd and rushing towards the enemy. Everyone knows that Fang Tian painted the halberd, and Lu Bu used this weapon during the Three Kingdoms, and it was only a warrior with strength and skill who could control it perfectly.

Fang Tian's halberd drew a line of light, and a piece fell down everywhere it went, and the blood-stained armor could no longer be seen.

"This person is so brave and brave, I don't know which general it is?" Li Shimin asked excitedly.

"Judging from the costumes, he should be an ordinary soldier." Yuan Ziyan analyzed.

"Hey." Li Shimin sighed slightly, quite regretful: "This person is very brave and powerful, but it is impossible to kill these thousands of people with only one arm." It is better to capture the thief and capture the king, and you can catch a general of the other party, which can deter the other party and rescue Liu Junqiong. ”

"Hehe, I guess, he heard you. Shimin, look again. Yuan Ziyan said with a smile on his face.

Li Shimin looked at it again, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he even shouted hello. That person's target was indeed not the besieged Liu Junqiong, but one of the other party's generals.

For the single-handedly Tang soldiers, the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and when the Tang soldiers rushed out of a bloody road to a place less than ten meters in front of them, the general panicked and hurriedly ordered to release arrows to block this person.

Whoosh, the overwhelming arrows shot in, the Tang soldiers were not in a hurry, Fang Tian painted the halberd and danced into a shield, knocking down all the arrows. And he is not blindly like this, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the rear, he keeps changing the direction of his horse, so that he is always in a place where the enemy is densely numered, so that the opponent's archers are afraid.

However, the number of opponents is too much, seeing that the enemy general is less than three meters away from him, and the tide of enemy troops waving weapons towards him slashed at him, the Tang soldiers dodged left and right, in the end there was a tragic neighing from the war horse, it turned out that the war horse had been poked out of several holes.

"Hey, this person is both resourceful, it's a pity." Li Shimin couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he couldn't help but close his eyes, before he lost Liu Junqiong, he actually missed a potential general, which is heart-wrenching to lose tens of thousands of troops.

However, something unexpected happened, this soldier turned out to be a desperate San Lang, taking advantage of the war horse to fall to the ground, he shouted loudly, jumped on the horse's back, alternated footsteps in the air, and stabbed the opponent's general with the halberd in his hand.

The other party didn't expect that this soldier would make a desperate move, and he was stunned, and suddenly his throat hurt, and he had been stabbed by Fang Tian's halberd, and then he saw that his body had fallen off the horse, his head had been raised high, and he closed his eyes unwillingly.

The Tang soldiers laughed, rode on the general's horse, and held up the Fang Tian painting halberd staring at the head, everyone was stunned by this sudden change, and their morale plummeted.

And Liu Junqiong took this opportunity to flee from the road, and finally picked up a life under such a difficult situation.

Li Shimin laughed, and was even a little excited, and commanded loudly: "Bring this person to see me quickly!" ”

Soon, the soldier who was covered in blood brought over, I don't know if he was tired or frightened, a pair of big eyes gurgled and stood in place.

"Noble?!"

The two words shouted out of this person's mouth, and Yuan Ziyan suddenly realized, this is Xue Rengui who met on the street that day.

Li Shimin also recognized it, and said with a smile: "Xue Rengui, I really didn't misunderstand you, single-handedly, rescued General Liu and killed one of the other generals." Say, what reward you want! ”

"Hey, Your Majesty is asking you!"

"So, who are you?" Xue Rengui stammered.

The person next to him reminded him with some displeasure: "This is the national teacher!" ”

"Oh, the little one is actually His Majesty and the National Teacher! Xue Rengui knocked to see His Majesty, knocked to see the national teacher, and thanked the two nobles for their support! Xue Rengui kowtowed, but the dirt wiped the blood on his forehead clean.

"Xue Rengui, Your Majesty said that I want to reward you, there is no need for this." Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

Xue Rengui got up slowly, and said dejectedly: "The little mouth is used to it, and he unknowingly committed the crime of bullying the king, and the crime deserves death, how dare he ask for a reward again?" ”

"Oh? What are you guilty of? Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, you asked me why I joined the army that day, little one, I lied!" Xue Rengui said that he burst into tears, looking very sad.

"What is the reason for that?" Li Shimin asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the little one is not to serve in the army for face, but to glorify the lintel and not dishonor the ancestors!" Xue Rengui wiped his tears as he spoke, and arched his hand: "Xue An, a famous general of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is my ancestor, Xue Rong, the prince of Chengcheng County, is my great-grandfather, my grandfather Xue Yan, the doctor of the Imperial Uncle, and my father Xue Liang was also an official in the previous dynasty. Later, my father died early, and my family was in the middle, and I only knew how to practice martial arts, which made life more and more difficult, and I had to join the Liu family, and I almost changed my surname. In order to be able to eat, I endured humiliation and burden, but I was really uneasy in my heart, I dreamed that night, I dreamed of my father, he scolded me angrily for not being a descendant and not thinking of progress. He also said that His Majesty recruited troops, why not go, even if he died in battle, he would not disgrace the Xue family! I already have a son and have no worries, so I enlisted in the army, but I was underestimated! As for later, the two nobles knew about it later. (To be continued......)
