Xu Xiaohui and Yang Min were supported by maids and entered the temple to worship the Buddha.

Wei Jue took care of others, and when he worshiped the Buddha and prayed for blessings, it was Xu Xiaohui's turn, but the old monk actually stopped him and said that he could not worship.

"Why is that?" The crowd was amazed.

"The female benefactor has a future Buddha and can be described as a Buddha mother. You don't have to worship the present Buddha. The old monk spoke amazingly.

Xu Xiaohui was surprised, so she asked, "Don't dare to be." What is the name of a master? ”

The old monk clasped his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "The old monk said." ”

"Does the master know the monk? When the little girl was young, she had the opportunity to meet her master a few times. Xu Xiaohui was influenced by family tradition and believed in Buddhism.

"It's the family teacher." "It turned out to be after the old man."

The two sides counted each other down.

On the second day, the convoy continued to march towards Yecheng.

The bronze bird met again in the audience, and they were full of emotion for each other.

Gao Si held a woman on each side of his hands, and swore loudly: "From now on, I will never lose the battle, and I will never lose you again!" ”

The husband only held the Tianhe with one hand, and he was angry at the crown.

Gao Si immediately entered Yecheng, and Zhang Jincheng was sent to the threshold car and escorted to various counties to deter him with soldiers and announce the restoration of Gao Qi.

Adopting Cui Luo's strategy, Enwei parallel, the obedient with virtue, the rebel with the army, respectively sent Han Shi'e, Wang Boren as generals, swept the Quartet, and soon captured the ten counties of Wei County, only Xiangzhou did not attack.

Gao Si also sent Zhou Zhong to lead 3,000 men and horses to roam outside the city of Xiangzhou, set up suspicious soldiers, and contained the officials and troops in the city.

In July, the wheat is ripe.

Gao Si already proclaimed himself the general of the Great Qi Expedition to the North.

For more than three months, he has been walking on thin ice, constantly sending generals to attack cities and conquer cities on the one hand, and organizing tuntian fields to resume production on the other hand.

Since the establishment of the shogunate, whether it is the appointment of generals or officials, or the handling of daily affairs, there are many problems.

For more than three months, Li Baiyao comprehended the meaning of the marshal, and with the support of soldiers and horses, he vigorously and resolutely promoted the Juntian system.

Turning over the hands into the clouds, covering the hands for the rain, vigorously raiding the house and destroying the door, through a number of big cases, it made the blood of several large families who were originally in Wei County for the rich and unkind, and for a while, everyone looked sideways, rushed to take refuge, established four military governments, and laid a foundation in Wei County.

In this way, a situation of co-governance of the three civil servants was formed, and Yu Shinan formed a bureaucratic system to take charge of political affairs, so that the shogunate decree could be issued.

Cui Luo was responsible for dealing with the external situation, counselloring military aircraft, and making the Qi army more regular.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Gao Si traveled early in the morning and led a team of cavalry to inspect the fields and harvest.

When I returned in the evening, as soon as I arrived at the Tongque Stage, there were guards preaching from afar. In just a few moments, the gate above opened steeply.

Yu Shinan, who was dealing with political affairs in Wenxuan Pavilion, hurriedly greeted him from above, and it looked like something big was about to happen.

Now that the status of a monarch has been determined, it is different from the past.

Yu Shinan bowed his hand first and said, "Lord, there is a visitor." ”

With a confident smile, Gao Si was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe at this time, with a silver crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist. Mr. Yu has always been a Confucian and does not be surprised when things change, who is here today to make Mr. so important? ”

"Xiangzhou Xue Yuanjing." Yu Shinan replied.

The two entered the hall, and Gao Si saw another scribe about forty years old drinking tea, and after introducing each other, they sat down as guests.

At this time, at the beginning of July, the weather was still hot, and after a few words of greeting, Gao Si said: "Mr. Jiuwen's name, I don't know what to see and teach here today?" ”

Xue Yuanjing got straight to the point and said: "Please send troops immediately to relieve the upside down of Li Min in Xiangzhou." ”

Gao Si smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, I want to do this." ”

At this moment, Cui Luo, who was in charge of military affairs, hurriedly walked in and said, "Lord, there is news from Hebei to summon Xingyuan. ”

Gao Si perked up and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Cui Luo said: "Yang Yichen's son Yuanlin personally led 8,000 troops to attack our Yecheng. ”

Gao Si couldn't help but say: "It's finally here, this Yang Yichen is really doing his best for the court, and he can be regarded as a good general of a generation, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time." With Yang Guang, the faint king, he can't calm the turmoil. ”

This is said sincerely, he asked himself, if he was Yang Yichen, serving as the ambassador of Hebei, and there was smoke everywhere below, he sent troops to Shandong, and Hebei lost another county, and it was difficult to take care of the beginning and end, and he could not completely quell the rebellion.

Yang Yichen fought against Wang Bo and others in Shandong, and when he heard that there had been changes in Yecheng, he was able to endure it until now before he sent his son to send troops, which is already very remarkable.

asked again: "Then Yang Yuanlin, how to use soldiers?" ”

"It is said that Yang Yuanlin, in the name of his father, immediately ordered Wang Chengcheng and Su Yong, the lieutenants of Hengshan Duzhongwu, to listen to the order, and obtained a total of 6,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, and they had sent troops two days ago."

"Hmm!" Although Yang Yuanlin is from his father's name, but now in the troubled times, most of the heroes and strongmen are self-preservation, he can recruit 8,000 soldiers in less than a month, even if he is playing tricks, it is very remarkable.

"Yang Yuanlin also transferred 500 border troops to Su Yong's son, Su Lie, because of the urgency of the military situation."

In an emergency, the border army can be called, which is already a bit of an arrogance.

Gao Si listened, he didn't care, but suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking

"This Su Lie, is it the one who defeated Zhang Jincheng?"

"Exactly! Su Lie, the word is fixed, is the son of Su Yong, who followed his father to fight thieves at the age of fifteen, and has never been defeated. ”

Su Dingfang recorded in the history books, the young man begged for the thief from his father, and the young man took refuge in Dou Jiande, the king of Xia. Xia died, and Nai descended to Tang.

After that, after twelve years, he was awarded the title of centurion. With 200 horsemen, he attacked the tent of the Turkic Khan at night, and made a miraculous feat.

Since then, the stars have shone brightly, destroyed the Three Kingdoms, captured the two masters, and made indelible contributions to Li Tang!

Gao Si pondered for a moment, and immediately issued an order: "Order Han Shi'e, Wang Boren, and the three heroes of the Mai clan to jointly bring the soldiers and horses of the two prefectures to besiege Xiangzhou, and bring 3,000 stone of grain."

A certain wants to lay down Xiangzhou before Yang Yuanlin's arrival, all according to Wei County! ”

"The general is so courageous, so Xue is waiting for him in the city." Xue Yuanjing offered his farewell.

"Sir, please." Gao Si pushed the boat down the river and sent Xue Yuanjing away, showing his attitude of ambition.

After only Cui Luo and Yu Shinan were left, he said leisurely: "Although we have 30,000 people, Xiangzhou City is tall and strong, and there are 5,000 people guarding it, which is enough to resist us for a while. If Yang Yuanlin arrives, we will be attacked internally and externally, and we will have to lose the battle. ”

After a pause, he said: "Yang Yuanlin's army is coming, my town is newly built, we must not be attacked on both sides, Xiangzhou City can bluff, our real soldiers and horses have to fight with Yang Yuanlin." ”

Cui Luo said: "Yes, I will send additional scouts to investigate the military situation, and the lord can gather all the generals, preach the attack on Xiangzhou, and secretly ambush the upcoming army of Hebei Xingyuan!" ”

Yu Shinan heard this, and also said: "Lord, gather the whole army and fight a dignified battle!" ”

When Gao Si heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The hero sees the same thing. It's small, but it's critical. After killing Zhang Jin before, some people said that we just defeated the gang of thieves, and we were not convinced. This time, let's have a dignified decisive battle and make a real reputation! ”

Cui Luo and Yu Shinan listened, knowing that the boss's confidence was also the most crucial, thinking in their hearts, and looking at Gao Si's state, and replied together: "The lord is not cowardly because the enemy is strong, and the ministers are willing to obey their orders and overcome the strong enemy together." ”

Gao Si was overjoyed, and the handrail said: "There are two gentlemen, I don't have to worry about it!" ”

At that moment, Li Baiyao and other generals were recalled, and preparations for the war began.

said that Xue Yuanjing left and returned to Xiangzhou.

The younger brother Xue Yuanbo stepped forward and asked his brother: "Who is the elder brother?" ”

"This man is quite disciplined." Xue Yuanjing said.

"How so?"

"You see him fought in Maocheng, killed Yuwenshu, survived in death, and won in defeat, since ancient times, there are many people who use this method, and few who succeed. He was blessed to be a brother at that time, otherwise how could it be?

When he escaped to the caliber, he hid in the deep forest, raised troops in Tuntian, and waited for the day, all of them were dignified, I think he can bend and stretch, and he can be a masterpiece!

Later, he went out of the mountain and entered Yecheng, and captured Zhang Jincheng alive in the encounter, which was even more prestigious, and the county was dumb for a while.

And then attack other cities, not only have a military strategy, but also pay equal attention to Wen Tao, there is a faint appearance of a big weapon, this son is not far from Wei County!

After establishing himself in Yecheng, Tuntian raised troops and recruited heroes, which shows the strength of this person. It's just a small victory,...... In the midst of troubled times, the key is to be able to win the battle. Yang Yuanlin went south, if he could not be defeated, everything would be suspended. Therefore, for the sake of brother, we have to wait and see.

Secondly, starting from the soldiers and horses, and being able to visit the old sages of the township, who has done this? ”

Xue Yuanbo thought about it, seemed to have an understanding, hesitated and asked, "Brother, who else has done it?" ”

Xue Yuanjing replied softly: "Cao Cao, Gao Huan." ”

These two names, although their voices were soft, were like thunder in Xue Yuanbo's ears, and he looked at his brother with wide eyes and disbelief.

Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei is also, raising troops to fight thieves, there are two out of three parts of the world, if it weren't for the opponents Liu Bei and Sun Quan are both heroes in the world, they would have dominated the world a long time ago. Later generations were incompetent, and the country was usurped by the Sima clan, but when it came to him, they all called him the hero of the troubled times.

Gao Huan is also amazing, Emperor Shenwu of Gao Qi, as a slave, rose in troubled times, conquered the east and the west, from weak to strong, and unified the Kanto. Although because of the sons killing each other, Gao Qi died in the country and the clan was wiped out. However, his dying plan still kept the Gao family rich for 40 years.

Gao Si is just a beginner, and now he only has a county, and even the Tuntian Army only has 30,000 soldiers, and his brother has such a high opinion of him, although Xue Yuanbo does not dare to refute it, he does not think so.

Knowing that his brother is like a brother, Xue Yuanjing said: "My brother doesn't think so? ”

Xue Yuanbo hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but Xue Yuanbo said: "If it is anything else, it can be discussed, but this matter must be made clear to you." ”

"The ten counties of Wei County are all high-quality fertile land, but they are barren. However, Li Baiyao under his command has reclaimed 600,000 mu of wasteland this year, and it will be 800,000 mu in the coming year, and 1.6 million stones of grain can be produced a year, and there are 1 million stones to raise the army, which is the foundation of the overlord!

Think about it, as long as he can defeat the army of the lord Yang Yuanlin in this battle, have soldiers and food in the coming year, and restore the status of Gaoqi's homeland, who else in the north can compete with him? ”

Xue Yuanbo thought about it, and still said unconvinced: "But even so, its survival depends on whether I agree or not!" If the younger brother leads the army to fight, the people outside the city can be broken, and his morale will plummet at that time, what will he do to fight against Yang Yuanlin's southward army? ”

"No! The courage of a virtuous brother is naturally known by a brother. But our brother has been running the family business for more than ten years, but he has to face a choice in troubled times.

Yang Yichen is foolish and loyal to the faint king, and sooner or later he will lose the battle. Instead of dying in Sui, it is better to be the other hero. I can say that in three years, five years, the Northland will inevitably fall into the hands of this son. ”

Xue Yuan Bobo thought for a while, and then said: "Since this is the case, the junior brother will listen to his brother's orders to see if he is a hero." ”

"On the heroes of the Northland, at this time, it is the alternation of the old and the new, and there are two people. Luo Yihu is located in Youzhou, and Dou Jiande is dominant in Gaojibo, but they are not as kingly as Yecheng. As long as Gao Si can gain a firm foothold in Yecheng, he can sweep the north. ”

"Ten years ago, there were rumors that the Gao family came out of the dragon and the Qi country was restored, pushing its omen, which should be in this person."

At this point, the Xiangzhou soldiers and horses could not shrink because of the Xue brothers' desire to sit and watch success or failure.

In Yecheng, Gao Si found out that the plan of the suspicious soldiers worked, so he raised an army of 20,000 and went north to meet Yang Yuanlin's 8,000 official army.
