When Zhu Li heard this, he glanced at Yue Pengju, Li Hanzhi and others, and then got up and shouted: "Okay, good, since the two generals have this ambition, Zhu might as well speak up." Vertex "

When Gao Siji and Gao Mian heard this, they looked at each other again, their eyes were full of surprise, what does this mean, could it be that there is any news, their brothers have been buried in the dark all along?

Zhu Li didn't let them be suspicious for long, so he said directly: "Before the battle of Qingliang Valley, I received news that the Xifeng Kou had been broken, and Xi Shuai had commanded Brother Ra and had led 30,000 Xi people into the pass. ”

"What?" When Gao Mian heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Zhu Li with a look of disbelief, and then immediately lowered his head, his face gloomy.

"Impossible, Xifengkou is guarded by 40,000 mighty troops under the command of General Converse, and Brother Zhira only leads 30,000 people, so it is impossible to capture Xifengkou." Gao Siji also didn't believe it, and immediately retorted, but when Zhu Li looked at him, he didn't dare to look directly at the other party, and hung his head and was silent.

Zhu Li glanced at them lightly, and said indifferently: "If Li Congwei and Brother Zhi Ra collude with each other, make a covenant, and attack Fan Yang together, isn't it difficult to understand the sinking of Xifengkou?" ”

Zhu Li's words were shattered, like a muffled thunder blasting in the minds of the Gao brothers.

The shock made them dizzy, crumbling, and almost vomiting blood, Li Congwei actually colluded with Di people in order to seize power, which made them embarrassed.

Compared with the bloody battle against the enemy on the side of Juyongguan, Li Congwei's move will definitely leave a stench for thousands of years and make people criticize.

Zhu Li, the soul from later generations, entered the late Tang Dynasty, the little butterfly flapped its wings, and finally led to a lot of great changes, the history of Li Quanzhong's usurpation of the government, which occurred in 885, but now it is only in the late autumn of the third year of neutralization (883), and the war of usurpation broke out.

It seems that the Gao brothers are not as unruly as they are said in history, Zhu Li saw Gao Siji and Gao Mian's expressions changed dramatically, and muttered secretly.

But he didn't know that the relics of mountains and seas were not so simple, not only to strengthen the internal breath and expand his meridians, but the biggest function of the legacy was actually to serve the heroes, as for expanding the meridians and strengthening the internal breath, it was the incidental effect.

The remarks of the Classic of Mountains and Seas "Kun died, and at the age of three he became corrupt, and he was cut with a Wu knife and turned into a yellow dragon." "The yellow dragon here is not a real dragon, at most it can only be regarded as a dragon, but even the breath of a dragon is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Under this breath, Zhu Li's words and deeds, even his temperament and demeanor, were all affected by the dragon's breath, and when people faced him, they couldn't help but have a sense of surrender.

Although the Gao brothers are unruly, under the influence of the dragon's breath, in the face of Zhu Li, they are also frightened from the bottom of their hearts, and they dare not give in.

It was rare for Zhu Li to change his impression of them, so he said directly: "The two generals, since they are father and son with Li Quanzhong, are not the same dog, Zhu intends to let General Gao Siji continue to assist General Pengju and guard Juyong Pass." ”

"General Gao Mian, just assist General Gao Yuan, go and block the Xifeng Pass, if Brother Nara dares to enter the territory of my Han Dynasty, I will let him come back again." Zhu Li squinted his eyes and said gloomily.

"Nuo" Gao Siji and Gao Mian did not dare to refute at all, if Zhu Li wanted to kill them, it would be too easy, just from the other party's defeat of Khitan Murong Ba, it can be seen that the other party's martial arts are more than a step higher than their brothers.

The plan has been decided, and Zhu Li ordered Zhang Guimu and Gao Siji to assist Yue Pengju and lead 20,000 people to guard Juyong Pass; Let Gao Yuan be the commander, Li Hanzhi and Gao Mian be the deputy generals, and they will also lead 20,000 people out of the town of Xifengkou.

As for himself, he only led 800 tooth soldiers and rushed directly to Fan Yang

, there is the habitat of Li Gong, if Li Quanzhong's father and son rebel, they will definitely be the first to take Fan Yang.

What's more, Wei Chijin's brother and her mother were all there, and he couldn't help but go and have a look.

From Juyong Pass to the south, must pass through Changping, just after Changping, the scouts came to report, and suddenly found a wave of people, stationed in the south of Changping Liangxiang.

Changping is the Changping District of Beijing in later generations, and Liangxiang is Fangshan District in Beijing in later generations.

"What banner is the other party waving?" Zhu Li frowned, and asked the scout who had come to report with a calm face.

The scout, after thinking about it for a while, immediately replied: "General, the big banner with the word 'Yan' played by the other party seems to be a Xiongwu army. ”

"The Heroic Army?" Zhu Li was puzzled, he remembered that he had instructed Yue Pengju to ask the Xiongwu Army to return to Fanyang, why did the Xiongwu Army appear in Liangxiang now?

"Let's go, let's see." In the end, Zhu Li decided to go and see it for himself.

The terrain of Liangxiang is relatively low, and when Zhu Li led the tooth soldiers to arrive here, the other party seemed to have discovered Zhu Li, and the two generals led thousands of subordinates, who had been stationed in the horse for a long time.

"May I ask from the front, but Huaihua General Zhu Li?" As soon as Zhu Li waved his hand to signal the tooth soldiers to stop his horse, the opposing camp rushed out and asked loudly.

"It's Zhu, who dares to ask who is coming?" Zhu Li was fearless and responded calmly.

"Sure enough, it's the general." The general who rushed out of the military formation immediately beckoned behind him, and the other general saw him signaling, and hurriedly rushed out of the horse, joined the first general, and galloped towards Zhu Li together.

Just arrived in front of Zhu Li more than ten meters away, the two of them stopped at the horse and arched their hands: "Subordinate Yanyun." ”

"Subordinate Yan Xiao."

"Meet the General." The two of them sat on their horses and bowed modestly.

Zhu Li squinted at them and said directly, "General Yue's messenger, didn't you find you?" ”

When the two of them heard this, a look of shame appeared on their faces, and Yan Yun said ashamedly: "General, the two subordinates have received the order from General Yue Pengju, but the enemy is overwhelming, and we have no chance of winning against them with this little force." ”

Speaking of this, he and his younger brother Yan Xiao glanced at each other, both of them showed a look of shame, and continued: "So as soon as Yan and the second brother discussed, they came to Liangxiang and stationed down, looking for fighters, and waiting for the opportunity to move. ”

The explanations of the two made Zhu Li understand the reason, and at the same time became more worried about Fan Yang's situation.

The Yan brothers would rather garrison the army in Liangxiang than enter Fanyang, it is conceivable how strong Li Quanzhong's strength is, in a word, the reason why these two brothers did not dare to enter Fanyang was that they had no confidence in Li Keju.

"How many people are there on the other side?" Zhu Li is too lazy to blame them, the Yan clan is the Jizhou clan, and the people of the big clan are best at standing in line.

For Zhu Li's inquiry, the two of them didn't dare to do it, this is not simple, once he turned over, he was the general of Huaihua, comparable to Li Keju's existence, but they couldn't disobey it.

What's more, Zhu Li and Li Keju are different, Li Keju governs Lu Long, and Li Quanzhong is an obstacle from it, and they have internal friction with each other, and now they are declining and no longer strong.

But Zhu Li's nest is in Heshuo, the interior is extremely united, it can be said to be an iron plate, the monarch is virtuous and the ministers are bright, and the faction is peaceful, and the strength of Heshuo is increasing day by day, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

"General, there are 40,000 people in Li Congwei's department alone, and Li Quanzhong integrates the Jingluo Army, Jingsai Army, Gaoyang Army, and Beiping Army, with a total of 50,000 guards, plus Xi Shuai's subordinate department, with a total strength of 120,000 people

。 Yan Yun said frankly, and after speaking, he still had a palpitating look.

When Zhu Li heard this, his face became even more gloomy, he had expected that Li Quanzhong was definitely fully prepared, but he didn't expect that just the two of them would integrate an army of nearly 100,000, not to mention that there was a brother who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

"What about Fan Yang, how many people are there in Fan Yang?" Zhu Li asked eagerly.

When Yan Xiao heard this, he looked a little hesitant, glanced at his eldest brother Yan Yun, and then hurriedly said: "Heng Haijun and Tang Xingjun are all old subordinates of Li Gong, in addition to the help of the Hengyang Army, plus Fan Yang Li Gong's pro-army tooth soldiers, there are a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people." ”

There are still 30,000 or 40,000 people in Fanyang, Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, 30,000 or 40,000 people are defending the city, even if hundreds of thousands of troops attack, it is not possible to take it in a short time, at least Li Keju, Wei Chixin, and Mrs. Wei Chi should be safe for the time being.

After asking about the situation, Zhu Li began to play with the idea of the Yan brothers, not that he wanted to plan the two of them, but that he had no soldiers now.

Of the 20,000 people left for Yue Pengju, Gao Yuan took 20,000 people to Xifengkou, and now he has almost no soldiers to use except for his personal guards, so he naturally wants to plan for a strong army.

"How many of you are in the army?" Zhu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked directly.

When Yan Yun and Yan Xiao heard this, they immediately understood Zhu Li's plan, the two brothers glanced at each other, they were very single, Yan Xiao said calmly: "General, our department has 3,000 infantry shooters, 3,000 spearmen, 3,000 shield guards, and 1,000 Yue cavalry, this is the standard configuration of Lu Long's Ninth Army, all here." ”

"If the general can use it, our brother can call the shots and let all the soldiers obey the general's orders." Yan Yun opened his mouth and said calmly.

Li Quanzhong and they can't afford to provoke, but Zhu Li and they can't afford to provoke either, for Li Quanzhong, although the Yan brothers are afraid, they are not very afraid now, after all, whether the other party can take Lu Long is still between the two.

But Zhu Li is different, no matter what the victory or defeat is, Heshuo is his territory, and the Yan brothers are naturally more willing to sell Zhu Li.

Zhu Li glanced at the two of them in surprise, but in a blink of an eye, he understood the other party's thoughts, and said modestly: "Two high righteousness, Zhu will definitely not forget the righteousness of today's help, but Zhu still has a reluctant request." ”

"The general said that it doesn't matter, as long as our brothers can do it, they will not refuse." As the saying goes, sending Buddha to the West Heaven, good people do it to the end, since the Yan brothers have decided to sell it to Zhu Li, as long as they can do it, they will naturally not shirk it.

"I need to plough the cattle, the more the better, as for the price, I have to pay double, since the two of you are local wealthy families, it should not be difficult to make up." Zhu Li touched his chin and said neatly.

Even if there is the full help of the Xiongwu army, relying on this person alone, Zhu Li is still not sure to defeat Li Quanzhong's father and son, he must find another way, whether it is cavalry or infantry, the other party is much more than himself, so he has to find another way to win.

"Ploughing cattle?" Yan Yun was puzzled, "How many heads does the general need?" ”

"The more the merrier, provided that these cattle must be sent here secretly, and they must be fast, and they must come in the right way, is that okay?" Zhu Li looked at the two seriously and asked.

Yan Yun and Yan Xiao just frowned slightly, and immediately agreed, after all, there are indeed more cattle in the north than in other places, here is close to the grassland, the Di people on the grassland, the most cattle and sheep, sometimes trade with the people in the Guannei, all in exchange for cattle and sheep.

It can be said that almost every wealthy farmer in the Northland has one or two farming cattle, and there are even more large households, and some people even make money by renting farming cattle, after all, there are more poor people in the Northland.
