"What?!" He Rui's face changed greatly, he stood up, then looked at Li Zhen, and said, "General......"

Li Zhen sighed when he heard this, and said, "After all, it's still a step too late!" ”

After speaking, Li Zhen got up and said solemnly to He Rui: "General He, Li Zhen and his three thousand elite horsemen are willing to obey the dispatch!" ”

"This ......" He Rui hesitated, after all, although Li Zhen was young, his official position was higher than his own. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhen seemed to see what He Rui was thinking, and immediately said: "In terms of official position, I really want to be one level higher than General He, but if I talk about these things on the battlefield, Li Zhen doesn't dare to hold it up, it's not that he shirks responsibility, it's just that the gains and losses in Pingzhou are very important, and Li Zhen asks himself if he has this ability!" ”

After He Rui heard this, he no longer shirked, and immediately said to Li Zhen: "General Li, then the last general will be brave once, General Li immediately led his troops to Yuguan, ordered the defenders of Yuguan to change the defense of Lu Longsai, and at the same time the last general led the Liucheng army to rush to the aid of Shicheng!" ”

After thinking about it, Li Zhen asked, "What does General He mean that our department will leave the customs immediately?!" ”

"General Li is talented, it is exactly like this, and now it can only be done according to General Li's previous plan, but General Li must remember that after leaving the customs, you must not attack Xi, and the Khitan tribes are mixed and scattered, and it is inconvenient to attack, so you can attack the two departments of Murwei and Uighur, so that the main force of the feudal thief alliance can return to the headquarters!" He Rui nodded and replied.

"That being the case, then Li will go straight to Yuguan immediately!" Li Zhen turned around and walked out after saying that, but just when he just lifted the curtain of the account, he turned to He Rui and said, "Pingzhou will be handed over to General He!" ”

Seeing this, He Rui hurriedly returned the salute, and said with an awe-inspiring face: "He Rui is here, Pingzhou is here!" ”

......

Stone City.

In the face of the encirclement of the enemy army outside the city, the soldier Cao Yanluo urgently raised the city wall, and ordered the defenders to hold out, and if the enemy approached, he would shoot with a strong crossbow from a distance, although Wu Lihan had 40,000 male soldiers, but there was nothing to be done for a while.

On the other hand, He Rui left 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend Lulongsai, and he personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to aid Shicheng, and when he went to Shicheng, he had to pass through Lulong County, when He Rui passed through Lulong County, the 40,000 allied troops had already surrounded Lulongcheng, and suddenly He Rui fell into a dilemma, things have far exceeded He Rui's expectations, and he had no choice but to retreat to Jieshi Mountain, after all, the feudal people are not good at attacking the city, in the face of two fortified cities that are several times stronger, as long as the defenders can't hold out, the feudal thieves are helpless in a short time, and then take a step back and consider, once the two cities are lost, Then he firmly controls Jieshi Mountain in his own hands, which can be attacked or defended, but he can also hold on for a while.

After all, this is much stronger than leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to die outside the city, as long as the defenders of the two cities hold out for six or seven days, then Li Zhen will have time to attack the lair of the thieves.

......

Yuguan.

Its name is Guan, in fact, it is a town, it was built in the third year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, in order to resist the military town of the Hu people in the northeast, its strategic position can be called the head of the northern provinces of the empire.

On the same day, after Li Zhen rushed to Yuguan from Lulongsai, only one day later, Gao Biao and others led 3,000 fine horses to follow non-stop, but at the same time, they also informed Li Zhen of the news that Lulong County and Shicheng had been besieged one after another.

Things have developed to this point, which made Li Zhen suddenly fall into a passive place, at this time he was sitting in the Yuguan guarding the Yanya, frowning, as if thinking about something.

On the left side is an old man who is close to the sixtieth birthday, with armor on his body, but his hair is white, looking at Li Zhen without saying a word, while Gao Biao and the others are sitting next to each other, with solemn faces.

This person is Liu He, the veteran of the Yuguan guard.

After a long time, I saw Li Zhen slowly raise his head and mutter: "I think there is something wrong with this!" ”

"What's wrong?" Liu He hurriedly asked.

Gao Biao and the others also looked at Li Zhen intently.

Li Zhen immediately shook his head and replied blankly: "I don't know, in short, things seem to be far more complicated than we thought!" ”

After hearing this, Gao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, I also feel this way, Zeyuan was right what he expected before, and we did not hesitate to seek a remedy, and the strategy we sought was not negligent, but the enemy army always has a feeling of being ahead of the curve, and we will be one step later if we take one step,!" ”

Li Zhen rubbed his chin when he heard this, nodded first, and then shook his head again, and said: "Brother Qianli is right, and it is not right, the enemy army does have a feeling of taking the lead, but it is not for me, but for the Liucheng army!" ”

"What General Lee means is...... Does the Liucheng Army have an enemy army inside? Liu He's expression was a little incredulous.

After hearing this, Gao Yu, Xu Liang, Yan Heng, Gu Duoda and others couldn't help but tighten their faces.

But Li Zhen shook his head, and turned to Liu He and asked, "May I ask General Liu, where are the Hu people in Pingzhou come from?" ”

Liu He thought for a moment and replied, "Originally, all the feudal tribes had their own tribesmen who lived here, and even if there was a slight gap in number, it was negligible, but since the Uighurs conquered the Uighurs, there have been more Uighurs here, and most of them have fled here!" ”

"Uighur ......"; Li Zhen groaned to himself after hearing this.

After hearing this, Yan Heng immediately said angrily: "It's Uighurs again!" We've got entangled with these Uighurs along the way! ”

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said slowly: "On that day, there were Uighurs outside the city of Jingcheng, and Chengde's general Guwen was also a Uighur, and now there are also Uighurs in the alliance of feudal thieves, which is not bad!" ”

"Well, and a few days ago I heard that the Uighur Usuke Khan has newly crowned a right-sage king, called Nali!" Liu He then said.

"Hehe, today's Uighurs are no longer what they used to be, and Usuke has this appointment just to win his heart as an official!" Gao Yu chuckled softly.

However, Liu He shook his head and said, "No, General Gao, please don't be impatient, what the old man wants to say is not this, but the origin of this Nali!" ”

"Oh?" Li Zhen suddenly became interested.

"It is said that this Nali is coming from the direction of Hengzhou!"

"Hengzhou?! Jing Chen?! Is General Liu's news reliable? Hearing this, Gao Biao suddenly got up.

Liu He immediately replied: "Although there is no ten, it is enough to be eighty!" ”

Gao Biao immediately looked at Li Zhen when he heard this, and Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly, and said to Gao Biao: "Brother Qianli, did you think of anything?" ”

Without hesitation, Gao Biao replied, "If this is the case, then the Uighur generals outside the city of Jingcheng that day must be this Nali!" ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he turned to Liu He and asked, "General Liu, do you still have any clues about this Nali?" ”

"I don't know ...... General Lee wants to know"

"Everything, everything about this person!" Without waiting for Liu He to finish speaking, Li Zhen replied directly.

I saw that Liu Heli thought for a while and then said slowly: "This Nali was originally the brother of the Uighur special service Najie Si, in the second year of Huichang, the Najie Si soldiers were defeated by Zhang Zhijun in one fell swoop, and then fled to the Mobei Khan Court, Wujie Khan was afraid of my Tang Dynasty retaliation and wiped out his family, at that time because Nali led the troops outside and escaped a death, but was imprisoned by Zuoxiang Cha Ge Luo, this prisoner is three years, but just a month ago, it is said that Ge Luo was killed by the general of my Tang Army, and finally Na Li was released by the soldiers and respected as the main general, Immediately, Nari took Gollo's men back to the tent of Ujie Khan! After saying that, Liu Hechong bowed his head slightly at Li Zhen and said, "General Li, that's all the old man knows!" ”

After hearing this, a faint smile finally appeared on Li Zhen's face, and he said to Gao Biao and the others: "Everyone, what have you thought of? ”
