Chapter 126: Increased Prestige
"Xia Yu, you didn't suffer in the Turkic camp. I'll just say, Consitor will never dare to touch a single hair of you. ”
Kang Sheali glanced at Liu Wuzhou: "Don't brag about yourself here, I'm not looking at your face." Xia Yu is my friend. ”
Liu Wuzhou snorted coldly: "Don't put gold on your face, I have known Xia Yu for much longer than you, he is my brother." ”
Kang Shealy was also dissatisfied: "Friends are valuable in knowing the new, haven't you heard the saying that white hair is as new as new, and the cover is as old as ever?" ”
Both of them are proud to be able to treat Xia Yu as a friend.
Li Shimin listened a little crying and laughing on the side: "You two are both friends of Xia Yu, isn't this okay?" ”
"You go aside, we don't want to talk to you."
The two said in unison.
"Xia Yu, this is the golden silk clothes I gave you, this clothes are as thin as cicada wings, and they are invulnerable when worn on the body."
Liu Wuzhou said, asking people to send out the golden silk clothes.
"What is a torn golden silk robe, Xia Yu, this is my talisman, if you encounter difficulties in the future and need the help of the Turks, as long as you take out this talisman, you can mobilize 10,000 cavalry."
First of all, the golden silk clothes, Li Shimin was moved when he heard it, and then there were 10,000 cavalry talismans, my God, the gifts given by these two people were not low.
Xia Yu accepted it unceremoniously, because if he didn't accept the gifts of the two, it would be as if he looked down on the two of them.
"Xia Yu, this is a piece of ancient jade, I got it from an ancient tomb, I don't know what it is for, but it is in good condition. Take it. ”
"Xia Yu, this is our Turkic Snow Eagle, which can be used for reconnaissance and intelligence, when the Khan's son wanted to get it, I didn't have to give it to him, you accept it quickly!"
The two of them scrambled to give gifts, and it seemed that the heavier the gifts, the more it would show that Xia Yu was his brother.
Xia Yu was embarrassed and felt that both parties were friends to make.
Li Jiancheng had a black face on the side, not only was Xia Yu killed by Kang Yuli, but both parties became Xia Yu's friends, and they also gave such a valuable gift, which made him jealous and hated in his heart.
The two sides had finally finished sending gifts, and Konsali headed west with his army.
Liu Wuzhou said angrily: "It's an eyesore, Xia Yu, you go back to the army with me, and you have to have a meal in the army before leaving." ”
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, Xia Yu and the Li brothers walked into Liu Wuzhou's camp, and they entertained Xia Yu with the grandest courtesy.
Xia Yu knew that Liu Wuzhou was an upright man, and he also made a friend of his.
The wine is dry, never procrastinating, and the guests and hosts are happy.
Xia Yu was very drunk, and was helped into the military tent to sleep, and did not wake up until noon the next day.
The crisis in Jinyang City has been resolved, and the three of them have returned to Huoyi City.
Liu Wuzhou and the three of them parted ways.
Xiangshi calculated the hexagram for Liu Wuzhou, saying that he had made friends with nobles, and he would definitely be able to avoid three disasters and nine calamities in the future.
Since he did not attack Jinyang City, his troops advanced to the north.
Xia Yu and the three of them walked forward for a while, and just happened to encounter the road back to Jinyang that was swept across by a flash flood and could not move forward.
On the way, they met a local man and asked if there was any other way to go.
After giving the locals ten taels of silver, they came to a place called Pujin Bridge, and after passing, they found that they had crossed the Pujin Bridge, which was just opposite the east gate of Huoyi City.
This is an extremely important discovery, if a part of the army is mobilized to pass through the Pujin Bridge, then it can form a two-sided encirclement of Huoyi City, and at that time, if you don't care about the front and the back, you will inevitably lose.
Returning to the Li family's army, Xia Yu reported to Li Yuan that the siege of Jinyang City had been resolved.
All the generals increased their quotas with their hands, and after Xia Yu left, several of them rebelled and wanted to defect to the Sui army.
Now that Jinyang City is stable, they have also dispelled the idea of leaving a way back for themselves.
Unite as one, move eastward!
It just so happened that the weather was sunny and cloudless, and Li Jiajun practiced in place, preparing to attack the city the next day.
The three of them discovered the secret passage of the Kamatsu Bridge together, and the result was built and said to be his own credit.
Li Yuan was relieved: "Completed, you have made a great contribution to us this time, if you don't capture Huoyi City, I'm afraid that some generals in the army will have two hearts." ”
This is a joke, and it is also intentional by Li Yuan, intended to warn those generals who have plans.
Hearing Li Yuan's words, they were shocked in their hearts, Tang Guogong was definitely not a good old man, he understood it very well in his stomach.
That night, by the bright moonlight, Li Jiancheng led the Li family army of 10,000 people to approach the Pujin Bridge.
Li Jiancheng was determined to make a contribution to the Li family army this time, so as to increase his prestige in the army.
Li Jiajun made a detour to Pujin Bridge and was planning to cross the bridge.
Li Jianzai personally led the team and walked in the front, but as soon as he walked to the middle of the bridge, a large number of Sui troops appeared on the opposite side.
The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the battle on the Pujin Bridge is short-handed.
victorious, stay on the bridge; Those who were defeated fell into the turbulent river of early spring.
If you can't lead the troops, the way is to reward them generously.
In addition, the Sui army was originally a regular army, and some of its veterans had fought in Goryeo.
In the face of the Sui army, which had explosive combat effectiveness, the Li Jiajun only had the share of defeat and retreat, and retreated while fighting.
The defeat and retreat were almost in the blink of an eye, and the Sui army, which rushed across the Pujin Bridge, pursued all the way, but fortunately, the Li family's defense capability was outstanding.
Finally, he was not particularly embarrassed by the defeat and evacuated the Pujin Bridge.
The Sui army did not continue the pursuit, and set up camp on the opposite bank of the Pujin Bridge.
Back at the Li Jiajun camp, Li Jiancheng was angry and didn't go out in one place.
Li Yuan was waiting for the good news from Li Jiancheng in the main army tent, but after seeing Li Jiancheng's face, everyone didn't dare to speak anymore.
They all had a guess in their hearts that Li Jiancheng was afraid that not only did he not cross the Pujin Bridge, but also suffered a big loss under the hands of the Sui army.
"Where's Xia Yu?" Li Jiancheng's tone was irritable, and now he wanted to settle accounts with Xia Yu.
"General Xia went to bed early in the morning."
Someone replied.
Li Jiancheng's face was even colder: "We are all here to discuss the siege of the city, he is better and went to sleep first." ”
Li Yuan asked: "What is going on when it is built?" ”
Now, Li Jiancheng is on the verge of breaking out, and he doesn't even buy Li Yuan's account.
After losing his temper, someone went to invite Xia Yu and Li Shimin over.
As soon as he walked into the military tent, Li Jiancheng grabbed Xia Yu's collar menacingly, his eyes red.
"Xia Yu, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will turn against you!"
Xia Yu rubbed his eyes, shook off Li Jiancheng's hand, his expression was calm, and he snorted coldly: "General Li, you have suffered a loss in the Sui army, do you want to spread wilderness in your own army?" ”
Li Jiancheng was about to speak, but Xia Yu continued: "I said the wrong thing." I belong to the army of the king of Qin, and I am not the same army as you. May I ask General Li, why did you call me over in the middle of the night, and you still looked like you were asking for guilt. ”
