"When I returned to Beijing this time, I did bring some floating wealth. But if you want to say what kind of treasure it is, it's a bit too much. ”

Gao Shilian's eyes were abnormal, but they were not detectable, and then he asked rhetorically: "Do you think that these people are ambushing here on purpose, targeting us and others?"

Li Shimin thought to himself, isn't this obvious? In the Jizhou area, there are few bandits of such a large force.

It is also strange that these people do not choose the caravans along the way, but instead target their convoy with a large number of elite guards. The fierce soldiers of the Tang Mansion and the Bohai Gao clan, as well as a group of armored cavalry that are no more obvious, are not easy to mess with no matter how you look at them.

And the other party did not hesitate to suffer casualties, and the purpose was never for him and Xuanba, the two insignificant sons of the Guogong Mansion. If the bandits and the like are unnecessary, they will not take the initiative to provoke a family lord like them.

But since Gao Shilian didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask. Just in the back carriages, it's just some floating wealth,

"If it's just a river worker, there's nothing to worry about. But the little nephew is afraid, and he is afraid that there is more than that. ”

Li Shimin said in a condensed voice: "Therefore, it is not advisable to forcibly break through. If the way is not discovered, it may not be safe. And the family members brought by your house are also difficult to be safe. ”

When Li Yan, the general, heard this, he couldn't help but shake his body, and his eyes were full of thought.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but think that it was very easy for them to break through the siege, but after breaking through the encirclement, what was waiting for them? A large group of bandits of thousands of people appeared here, and the local Yingyang Mansion and the Governor were all unconscious?

If the enemy in the forest is really coming at them, then there is really a need to worry.

"The only way to do this now is to destroy the enemy on the spot, and the sooner the better. ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked back at Gao Shilian: "I don't know Uncle Gao Shi, do you dare to borrow the soldiers of your mansion for your nephew?"

When Gao Shilian heard this, he not only looked sideways, but also took a closer look at Li Shimin beside him. He understood what the other party meant, and wanted him to give him full authority to command his own private army.

This is a matter of course, and when the enemy is imminent, it is impossible to order unity according to one's own needs. But Erlang, how are you going to deal with the enemy?"

Li Shimin did not hesitate, and pointed the horsewhip in his hand to the south: "This place is near the river, and the little nephew wants to break the enemy in the tidal flats near the river." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Are you crazy or an idiot!"

Then he strongly advised Gao Shilian: "Uncle, you must know that the ink armor and vehicles are heavy, and the tidal flats are soft! Li Shimin is notorious, mediocre, and can never be trusted. Judging by what he said, he is not a person who knows the soldiers! Let him command, and we can only wait for death!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was in a hurry, and he didn't care that Li Shimin was by his side, so he didn't choose what to say.

Although Li Shimin didn't care, Li Xuanba behind him was staring at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji's head through the crystal lens on his face armor.

However, after pondering for a moment, Gao Shilian said in an unexpected condensed voice: "Then please ask the nephew!"

"I will live up to Uncle Gao's trust!"

Li Shimin hugged his fist at Gao Shilian and saluted, and then his voice suddenly rose up: "The whole team turns! The left and right teams cover each other, and the formation slowly retreats, and they march along the river to the left tidal flat! San Lang, you go and clear the way for the carriage." ”

When Li Xuanba heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and he danced a pair of purple and gold sledgehammers in his hand and went straight to the left side of the team. With a few loud bangs, several big trees over there were smashed by his sledgehammer.

He practiced the 'Red Sun Extreme True Dafa', and he was already known for his strength, and the battle armor he wore was also extremely good. Therefore, this bull demon armor, although he is not new for a long time and is not very familiar with it, but every time he blasts out, he still has the power of tens of thousands of catties, even those trees that are as thick as 20 hugs, often can't support him with a hammer, and they are all broken by the roots.

Sure enough, it was hard, and a road was opened in the dense forest here.

At this time, Li Shimin took out a flag from the carriage next to him and inserted it in front of the cart.

There was a strong wind blowing in the south, so that the big flag fluttered up, and a big 'Li' character embroidered with gold thread suddenly waved in the wind!

When this flag was unfurled, Eldest Sun Wuji clearly felt that there was a commotion in the ambush in the forest. Soon after, however, the riot calmed down again.

This made him feel cold again, and he wondered, "Even the battle banner of the martial arts Li clan, which is one of the Eight Pillars of the Dynasty and one of the top generals in the world, can't deter these bandits and retreat? What is the origin of this ambush in the forest?

Could it be that as Li Shimin said, these bandits are coming for his uncle Gao Shilian?

This made the eldest grandson Wuji even more anxious, and glared at Li Shimin fiercely: "If you don't have the ability to break the enemy, don't boast! Not to mention how to break the enemy in the river beach, how can you let those bandits escape from this forest? When it gets dark, none of us can escape." Hundreds of people here will die because of your willfulness. The best strategy now is to choose the best place to hold on and wait for help—"

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to it, he also looked at the forest with cold eyes, and then ordered Li Yan: "I see that the river here is not deep, you send a few brave and resolute, smart and reliable, proficient in water to cross the river." Go to Longquan Yingyang Mansion to send a letter asking for help! Remind them to be careful all the way and guard against volleys. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw a small seal to Li Yan: "This is a token!"

That is his appointment as the 'right body of the house for the body' of the seal, the great cause of three years, the Son of Heaven left and right to lead the left and right mansions for the "left and right to prepare the house", the left and right guards, for the imperial soldiers, is the Son of Heaven's close guard. Among them, the vast majority of the officers are served by meritorious heroes and children of noble relatives.

And under the preparation of the left and right preparation of the body, as well as the preparation of the straight fast, there are about a thousand cows, and there are sixteen people on the left and right of the division. Qianniu is in charge of the Qianniu sword guard, and the division shoots the palm for the bow and arrow, which is the martial profession of the six products, which is the so-called 'Qianniu preparation'. In addition, there are 60 people on the left and right sides, each with 60 people, for the guards and attendants, from the eight grades.

Li Shimin is the second son of Li Yuanyan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, and his status is noble. Therefore, at a young age, he had to be awarded the post of 'right body preparation and body preparation'.

Li Yan acted neatly, and immediately sent out a few knights, carrying this seal, and galloped away in the direction of the riverbank.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but move slightly, and fell silent.

The boundary where they are located is Linfen County, but Li Shimin asked people to ask for help from Longquan County, which is separated by a Fen River, and this is really not very at ease with Linfen Yingyang Mansion and Linfen Governor.

At this time, he also vaguely remembered that the current Yingyang Lang General of Longquan County, his father was the old department of the late Tang Duke Li Xun. Once you see Li Shimin's token, there must be no reason not to save it.

However, the purpose of this person should not be to ask for reinforcements from Longquan County, but to have other plans-

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but glance at the forest again, his face was solemn and abnormal.

※ ※ ※ ※

"It's a bit tricky! Two hundred and eighty guards, including eighty of the First Division, are all elite in a hundred battles, which is already a powerful opponent of six teams of border troops. There are also three general-level battle armors, which should be the descendants of the martial arts Li clan——"

In the dense forest, Gao Lin's eyes were full of solemnity, looking at the convoy on the opposite side that was retreating towards the river beach in the distance.

He was thirty years old, with a thin body, a nose like an eagle's hook, and two scars under the corners of his eyes, which made Gao Lin's whole temperament look gloomy.

On his side, there was a strong man named Luo Bing. This person is majestic and burly, with big shoulders and a round waist, and his face is covered with black beards, which makes people unable to see the real age of this person, but sets off the momentum of this person with vigor and fierceness.

"I've seen it clearly, it's just three little dolls! The hair hasn't grown up, and when the battle starts, it's good that they don't have to be soft. ”

The nonchalant snorted coldly, and then asked curiously, "Are you sure? That thing is really in the hands of this Jireirou?"

"Can't!"

Gao Lin's tone was calm: "But this Gao Shilian is just a side child of the Bohai Gao family, and the family's financial resources are also very limited." Don't you wonder that this person entered Beijing from Bohai to worship his ancestors, but he can carry 180 Bohai soldiers to escort him?

"That said, this time, no matter what, we have to cut them off?

Luo Bing laughed and twisted his neck, making a 'click' sound.

But then he was very surprised, and looked ahead: "Do they want to cross the river, or are they going to evacuate along the river? Is this considered a self-inflicted death? Mr. Gao, didn't you say that Gao Shilian is a person who is beautiful, shrewd and capable, and he is the best among people, so he can't be careless? But it seems that this person is nothing more than that. ”

Gao Lin also felt strange, but he pondered for a moment, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head: "I am of the same clan as this person, and I know that he is very smart when he is young. But after all, this is just a scholar, and he doesn't know the art of war, so it's not surprising. However, it was also a shame that he could think that if he did not go to Linfen Yingyang Mansion, he would let people go to Longquan County for help. ”

At this time, he didn't seem to have any interest in talking, and said impatiently: "General Yingyang Lang of Longquan County, who is a student of the old department of the Li family of martial arts, after receiving the letter, he will definitely come to help, I don't have much time to wait, and I can't let them go away, so I'm ready to do it." This battle can be a bit dangerous, so inform the leaders of the teams and tell them to be careful. ”

"Obey life first!"

When Luo Bing heard this, he immediately laughed: "I also want to see how many catties and taels there are in these Kansai Jiangmen families." ”

He then waved his hand slightly and issued a military order to his subordinates: "Start wearing armor!"

Behind him, a group of black-robed men opened the iron box at their sides.

It was an ink box, about three feet long and wide, and all black.

Li Shimin's family general made a mistake, at this time, there were not only more than 400 civilian ink armors in this forest, but also a full sixty such black boxes.

If Li Shimin or the eldest grandson Wuji were here, they would be able to recognize that among these boxes, it was a standard type of ink armor in the army, called 'Breaking Front'. It is extremely common in the border army, with strong combat power and a powerful earthquake in the northern frontier!
