Wanyanzongjun returned to Manchuria in September, and after coming back, Wanyanzongjun didn't even mean to go to the palace, so he went directly to the regent's palace.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, Wanyan Zongbi has obviously lost a lot of weight, Wanyan Zongbi raised his head and saw Wanyan Zongjun, and gave Wanyan Zongjun a bear report, and the two brothers went directly to the study.

When he arrived at the study, Wanyan Zongbi gave Wanyan Zongjun a cup of tea and asked, "How about going to the Central Plains to harvest this time?" ”

Wanyan Zongjun smiled bitterly: "Brother, this little emperor in the Central Plains is not simple, I can't hide it, my biggest harvest this time is tea." ”

"What do you mean?" Wan Yan Zongbi asked with a frown.

Wanyan Zongjun immediately told Wanyan Zongbi what Huashan said, and Wanyan Zongbi sighed and said: "The Central Plains is really outstanding, and a small doctor can also influence national affairs." ”

"I'm sorry, brother." Wan Yan Zongjun said ashamedly.

"It doesn't matter, our warriors eat beef and mutton, and with tea, the lives of many of our warriors have been guaranteed, which is also a great achievement." Wanyan Zongbi comforted.

On the day when Yanzong County went home, Li Jun was receiving a distinguished guest on the Baqiao, this distinguished guest was Gao Zhe, Gao Zhe had been guarding the bitter cold land of Liaodong for fifteen years, such a great merit Li Jun should have greeted him with the gift of a national scholar, but this attack on Beijin had to be kept secret, so Li Jun had to go to Baqiao to welcome Gao Zhe back to Beijing.

Gao Zhe saw Wei Wuji from a distance, so he dismounted and gave Wei Wuji a bear hug and said, "Brother Wuji, don't come to harm." ”

"Haha, it's not as good as you, you see that my belly is up, and I won't be able to ride a war horse in a few years." Wei Wuji pointed to his stomach and laughed.

Gao Zhe teased Wei Wuji a few more words, and when he saw a carriage behind Wei Wuji, he asked, "Is Your Majesty here?" ”

Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Let's go, you haven't seen it since Your Majesty ascended the throne, my old guard will take you there." ”

Gao Zhe hurriedly tidied up his clothes, came to the carriage, knelt on the ground and bowed: "Minister Gao Zhe to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

Li Jun got down from the carriage, looked at Gao Zhe's weather-covered old face, and suddenly helped Gao Zhe up and said: "Old general, it's hard work, go, I brought the strongest general Chunbai, and I will personally pick you up for the wind." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Zhe said in tears.

Li Jun pulled Gao Zhe into the seat, and personally poured Gao Zhe a glass of wine, Gao Zhe hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate." ”

Li Jun waved his hand and said: "Old general, you must drink this glass of wine, I not only respect you, but also the soldiers who have died on the battlefield for so many years, come on, uncle, old general, let's drink a full cup together." ”

"Your Majesty." With tears in their eyes, the two of them drained the wine in their hands in one gulp.

Li Jun also drank it, exhaled and said: "Good wine, He Shen, full, the weather is just right today, I and the two Aiqing will not return if they are not drunk." ”

"Your Majesty, you better drink less, if you let Mr. Huashan know, you will have to sue the Queen Mother again." He Shen persuaded in a low voice.

"Where is there so much, I'm happy today, hurry up and fill it up." Li Jun scolded rudely.

Li Jun's appearance made Gao Zhe even more emotional, and hurriedly persuaded: "Since Your Majesty is unwell, let's forget it first, Your Majesty's intentions are understood." ”

"The old general is too worried, I know my own body, it's really disappointing that this old slave talks too much, forget it, I don't care about him, I want to get drunk today, I wonder if the old general and my uncle are interested in accompanying each other?"

"Your Ministers obey." The two of them said immediately.

The three of them drank until sunset, Wei Wuji was the first to get drunk first, Gao Zhe also lay down, Li Jun shook his head speechlessly, and left first, the strongest wine in this era is only seven or eight degrees, which is similar to the beer of later generations, and it is really difficult to get drunk Li Jun, a wine hostel.

After Li Jun left, Wei Wuji woke up first, shook Gao Zhe next to him who was pretending to be asleep and smiled: "Old Gao, wake up quickly, Your Majesty is gone." ”

Gao Zhe shook his dizzy head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Wei, Your Majesty is really a genius, and even a thousand glasses of wine are not drunk." ”

Wei Wuji nodded and said: "Lao Gao, what you said is extremely true, I can't hide it, this is also the first time I have drunk with Your Majesty alone, I really didn't expect Your Majesty's amount of alcohol to be so good, not to mention that I really stained your light this time." ”

"Your Majesty's kindness, the end will be repaid with death." Gao Zhe arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an.

At this time, Gao Zhe's personal army leader suddenly ran over in a hurry, and Gao Zhe scolded angrily: "Why are you so flustered? ”

"Qi Qi Marshal, the last general found a holy decree from the position where His Majesty was sitting just now, and it also said to let the Great Marshal open it himself."

Gao Zhe snatched it after hearing this, then opened it to take a look, and immediately burst into tears, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, how can the old minister be able to seal the marquis of ten thousand households?" ”

When Wei Wuji heard this, the wine glass immediately fell to the ground, picked up the holy decree and looked at it, and then immediately picked up Gao Zhe and said with a smile: "Haha, Lao Gao, Lantian Hou, fief ten thousand households, Your Majesty is really generous, looking at my old guard's eyes are red, I already knew that my old guard also chose Liaozhou." ”

A group of pro-soldiers also immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Congratulations to the commander." ”

Gao Zhe didn't expect Li Jun to be so generous to himself, this holy decree has not yet been made clear because it is to be kept secret, but there is no joke in the army, Gao Zhe believes that he will get this honor after he finishes this battle, I didn't expect that in his sixtieth year, he could meet such a Dao Mingjun, which is a great luck.

In fact, the reason why Li Jun gave such a heavy reward, on the one hand, is because Gao Zhe guarded Liaodong for fifteen years, defeated Beijin many times, and can deserve this honor, since the rise of Beijin during the Jingtai Emperor, he harassed the Tang Dynasty every year, when the first emperor was in power, because the first emperor was nepotistic, but also lost the most important pass in Liaodong, Yuyang Pass, if it weren't for Gao Zhe's proper handling, now maybe the people of Beijin have hit Hangu Pass.

Another reason is that he rewards Gao Zhe heavily, so that the eyes of the government and the opposition will be on Gao Zhe, and he can take the opportunity to promote his two cronies, Wei Wei and Lang Zhongling, the two important positions cannot be idle for a long time, and only when they are handed over to their cronies can Li Jun rest assured......

After Gao Zhe returned to Beijing, he first went home to visit his family, and on the third day, he went to the palace to see Li Jun, today's small court meeting is very important, in addition to the three dukes, Jiuqing only Shaofu Ling Pang Jixian was present, they are all some old people in the court, knowing that today's protagonist is Gao Zhe, so everyone including Gao Zhe sat in their places calmly and closed their eyes.

When Li Jun came in, he said hello to everyone, then clapped his hands, and several attendants walked in carrying a table.

Li Jun said with a smile: "Everyone, please see, this is the map of the Yuyang area in Liaodong, which is the new achievement of the Shaofu masters." ”

Gao Zhe looked at it carefully and said, "Your Majesty, it's not bad at all, and the person who made this picture should be rewarded." ”

"Haha, Pang Qing, did you hear that? The master craftsman who made this picture was rewarded with 100 taels of gold, 50 acres of cultivated land, and his title was upgraded by two levels, telling the master craftsmen of Shaofu that if there is a good invention in the future, I will not hesitate to reward him. Li Jun commanded with a smile.

"Obey, the minister will definitely bring His Majesty's words." Pang Jixian immediately replied.

Li Jun nodded and said, "Okay, General Gao, you are the general of Liaodong, can you tell me how to fight this battle?" ”

Gao Zhe arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please see, from Liaozhou to Yuyang Pass, Pingchuan is a battlefield suitable for cavalry, and the cavalry of our army is far inferior to the Beijin people, so we have been passive defense in the past few years." ”

Everyone nodded approvingly, and Gao Zhe continued: "In the opinion of the old minister, the most important thing in this attack on Yuyang Pass is to lure the snake out of the hole, and the Yuyang Pass guard will be Wan Yan Hu, a close confidant of Wanyan Zongbi, this person has never dealt with him, so I don't know what his behavior will be for the time being?" ”

At this time, Li Jun asked He Shen, who was listening on the side, "Da Changqiu, is there any news of this person over there in Jinyiwei?" ”

He Shen immediately walked out and came back soon, and then replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, although this person is not bad, but he is greedy for money and lustful, when Lord Dou Lin Dou went to Beijin as an envoy, he just walked his way and met Yan Zongbi." ”

Gao Zhe nodded and said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole can be implemented, but there is still a problem, the old minister must tell the truth." ”

"Old general, please speak."

"Your Majesty, this time to recover Yuyang, Your Majesty must be prepared to sacrifice 10,000 people, although the minister's Liaodong iron cavalry is not weak, but in a field battle with the Beijin people, there are still fewer wins and more defeats." Gao Zhe said with a frown.

Li Jun laughed out loud after hearing this, and Wei Wuji and the others who knew next to him also laughed one after another, Gao Zhe was not angry at Li Jun, grabbed Wei Wuji's collar and said, "Wei Wuji, what do you mean?" Could it be that the lives of 10,000 of my Liaodong soldiers are so worthless in your eyes? ”

Li Jun hurriedly pulled Gao Zhe away and said: "Old general, don't worry, the captain didn't mean to laugh at you, but he just had some inside information, the old general just entered Beijing, and he doesn't know yet." ”

"Your Majesty, please." Gao Zhe said angrily.

Li Jun led everyone to Beique, two hundred knights armed with steel armor were ready, Li Jun nodded at Wei Chaodong and Xue Ren, and the two immediately waved the command flag and said: "The martial arts exercise begins." ”

I saw two hundred-man teams galloping towards the opposing team, the sword was awe-inspiring, the knights rode on their horses and slashed left and right, and the strange thing was that after a wave of charges, no one fell to the ground.

Gao Zhe is an old man on the battlefield, and he can see that this group of people has used all their strength, and when he sees the scene in front of him, he is puzzled.

Li Jun waved his hand, only to see a soldier immediately dismount and come to Li Jun, Li Jun pointed to the armor worn by the soldier and said proudly: "Old general, please see, this is a god horse built with a lot of money, the armor on their bodies is no longer iron armor, but steel armor, ordinary iron knives can't pierce at all, with these people, does the old general feel that he has to sacrifice 10,000 people?" ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know how many of these gods are there?" Gao Zhe asked excitedly.

Li Jun sighed and said, "The time is too short, there are only two thousand people in total. ”

"Enough, enough......" Gao Zhe laughed.
