Chapter 632: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

Li Siwen looked at the pigeon in Su Dingfang's hand and said confusedly: "What is this?" General Su, are you still in the mood to play with pigeons at this time? You've let me down so much! ”

The flying pigeon has always been Li Mu's own tinkering, and no one else has ever handled it. Li Mu was kidnapped suddenly, and he didn't have time to tell Su Dingfang and Li Siwen that Li Siwen and Su Dingfang didn't know about it, so when they reported the news, no one thought of the pigeon, but sent eight hundred miles to expedite.

But after arriving in Chang'an, the news reached Dugu Jiu's ears, Dugu Jiu knew about the flying pigeon book, in order to get the news to come quickly, when Chang'an returned to the news, while using the flying pigeon to pass the book, while using eight hundred miles to expedit, the pigeon is faster, looking for the road marker stone that Li Mu put in his baggage, and found Li Siwen's camp, when Su Dingfang patrolled, he saw this pigeon, and then he thought of the pigeon that Li Mu brought, and the small bamboo tube found on the pigeon's feet.

After listening to Su Dingfang's explanation, Li Siwen was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" I knew that there were pigeons to use, and the news could arrive in Chang'an as soon as possible, oh my big brother, you are really-"

"Okay, don't talk about it yet, let's see what Chang'an has to say." Qin Yu interrupted Li Siwen, untied the bamboo tube of the pigeon, took out the note inside and unfolded it, only to see that there was a fly's head on it, and a lot of words were densely written.

"The news has been known, Your Majesty is furious, has been allocated and the state soldiers and horses and the forbidden army of the three guards by Li Ji, Hou Jun to gather troops in two ways a total of 50,000 horses rushed to Gaochang, wait for Dingxiang to hold on to help, Gaochang behaves strangely, fearing that the Western Turks will be involved, do not act rashly, once there is any news from Li Mu, the flying pigeon will pass the book."

There is also a line of small words on the back: "Li Siwen, I am Dugu Jiu, my sister-in-law doesn't know about this matter, I am ordered by my eldest brother to protect the safety of my sister-in-law and the fetus in my womb, I think twice, I dare not leave without permission, my eldest brother's life is tied to you, tens of millions." ”

Li Siwen cried again after reading it: "Ten thousand farts, I'm a waste, I don't have the ability-"

"Shut your mouth!" Qin Yu really couldn't stand Li Siwen like this, and the female tiger was so powerful that Li Siwen didn't dare to speak out. Qin Yu handed the note to Zhang Tianai, a suitable leather armor set off her heroic, and said: "Now that Your Majesty has made an order, we should obey the order, General Su, pass the order to pull out the camp, and return to Dingxiang." ”

"No way!" Although Li Siwen was afraid of his daughter-in-law, when it came to Li Mu, he also forgot to be afraid: "The eldest brother is still in their hands, if you want to go back, I am here, I can't save my eldest brother, I will die here-"

"What are you messing around!" Qin Yu was anxious and said, "You didn't see that the note said that Gao Chang was acting strangely, and he was afraid that he would be implicated in the Western Turks." Don't you understand? Gaochang is a small country, and I just met Your Majesty, let's come here under the banner of the Tang Army, whether they catch the big brother or not, at least they should come out and explain it personally, even if it is for show, but now they look like they don't care, what does this look like? ”

Su Dingfang frowned, and answered: "Like-they seem to be waiting for help!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Yu nodded and said, "They don't believe that we only dare to come over with only three thousand men and horses, thinking that we have a rear army to suppress the formation and lure them out of the city." So they didn't move, waiting for reinforcements to come to their rescue. Let's think about it, Gaochang is just such a few small cities, if it was their own reinforcements, they should have come a long time ago, but no one has come for so many days, which means that they are not waiting for their own reinforcements, then the answer is about to come out, they are waiting for foreign aid, and the countries near here, can be cited by Gaochang as reinforcements, except for the Western Turks who have been eyeing the eastward, is there anyone else? ”

Qin Yu looked at Li Siwen and said, "Husband, I know that you and your eldest brother are like brothers, even if you die, you are not afraid, but even if you die here now, is it useful?" If you don't leave, once the Western Turkic army really comes, our 3,000 men and horses won't be able to withstand it for a while, and at that time, you will really never see your big brother again. ”

Zhang Xun, who had not spoken, finally took the initiative to speak, and said, "Let me say something." ”

Zhang Xun and Li Ji have an old relationship, although Li Ji wants to break off this family, but because Li Mu can't break it now, although Li Ji and Zhang Xun are no longer in contact, but Li Siwen is close, but he recognizes him as an uncle. Seeing that he spoke, Li Siwen also looked over and said, "Uncle, please speak." ”

"I think Your Majesty's will should be obeyed for two reasons. His Majesty values Li Mu very much, and he will not sit idly by, and he will not harm Li Mu. Moreover, His Majesty is a general of Tiance, and the judgment of the art of war and strategy is not comparable to us, and his decision should not be wrong, at least much stronger than ours. Besides, before the reinforcements came, we really couldn't do anything, and it was useless to wait. Just like Miss Qin said just now, if it is really Gaochang who colluded with the Western Turks, we can't resist it, death is a trivial matter, but there is no useful news left, and when the reinforcements come, they will face the enemy's leisurely work, but it is very bad. ”

Li Siwen bit his lip tightly, although he thought in his heart that Qin Yu and Zhang Xun were reasonable, but he firmly believed that Li Mu was in Gaochang, let him turn his back on Li Mu and leave, he really couldn't do this kind of thing.

"Oops!" Qin Yu is also an anxious person, seeing Li Siwen's indecisive appearance, he directly raised a hand knife, Li Siwen's eyes suddenly burst out, and he fell on the table, Qin Yu caught him, and said: "Don't fight, Your Majesty has a will, we will obey it, send more scouts to pretend to be businessmen, bypass Gaochang and then release Baili, pull out the camp back to Gaochang, and wait for help!" And the state is closer, count the days, there should be six or seven days when the vanguard army comes, when the time comes, there will be an idea, count on my family, count on it! ”

Li Siwen's performance was obvious to all, and everyone knew that Qin Yu was telling the truth, so they got up one after another, restrained the men and horses of their headquarters, and returned to Dingxiang with the army.

On the Gaochang city wall, the defenders cheered when they saw the Tang Dynasty withdrawing their troops. For the 'victory' of the Tang Dynasty, every Gaochang person feels very honored, that is the Tang Dynasty that destroyed the Eastern Turks, although there are only 3,000 people, but after all, it is also a victory, right? In the future, when I see people from other countries in the Western Regions, this alone is enough to brag about it for decades.

Contrary to the happiness of the soldiers, Ju Wentai and his son were full of sadness, and in the past few days of being besieged, Ju Wentai and his son have not slept much. Li Shimin was not bad, they did collude with Gao Chang.

It's just that as soon as he set up a side, before he really formed an alliance, Li Siwen brought his troops over, and it was for such a ridiculous reason that Zhuluhou was kidnapped by Gaochang. Where can Ju Wentai and his son believe it, just think that Datang has noticed the clues and is about to attack. I had no choice but to close the city gate on the one hand, and send envoys to the Western Turks on the other side, and the original conditions were all withdrawn, and I completely defected.
