The Tang newspaper in Shuo County was sent to Chang'an by fast horses in just three days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This made Li Shimin very happy. With the example of the Turks, it is expected that some of the Turkic tribes who were oppressed by the Jie Li would follow suit. If you don't have a bloody blade, you can greatly weaken Jieli's power, so why not.

Just summoned his confidants and important ministers to discuss, and Li Shimin issued an order to let Tuli bring his tribe to join as soon as possible. All the soldiers and horses were handed over to Li Jing for command.

Coming and going, it was really as Li Jing expected, but it was only seven days, and the reply had already reached Li Jing's hands.

After summoning Ashinaqi again, Li Jing handed Li Shimin's letter to him and said: "Your Majesty has agreed to the request of the Turki Khan, and I also ask your envoy to hand over this letter to the Turki Khan." In addition, this is the route of the march that I expected to be good. As long as the Turki Khan enters the border of our Tang Dynasty, he will immediately be met by soldiers and horses, and he will come to pursue him. ”

After handing over a letter and a picture to Ashinaqi, Li Jing said: "In order to facilitate communication between the two families, your envoy needs to bring our envoy with him on this trip. ”

Nodding, Ashina Qizhi said: "According to the commander's orders, the purpose of this visit has been achieved, and when to set off, please decide the commander." ”

"In that case, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

The envoy sent was something that Li Jing had already found. This person is a lieutenant in Taiyuan Mansion, who has dealt with Turks for more than ten years, and his Turkic language makes people unable to hear any flaws at all. Together with the three attendants, the five braved the cold and snow, and left the camp early the next morning to the north.

Waiting is the most uncomfortable thing, especially the waiting with ambiguous results, which is the most tormenting. Only Li Jing and the three of them, who knew the inside story, walked out of the camp from five fast horses, and their hearts were like hanging a stone. If you don't look at the north dozens of times a day, you really feel that there is something missing in your life.

Ten days were spent in anticipation of several people.

For a person like Luo Yan, these ten days can be said to be like years. If it weren't for the three of them practicing martial arts in the snow every day with Zhou Hu, I'm afraid Luo Yan would have gone crazy.

Finally, on the tenth day, when the sun was about to set, the scout returned with one of his traveling attendants.

At that time, Luo Yan happened to stare at Yuanmen, a vague and familiar face, ignoring the confusion of Zhou Hu, Chen Biao, and Yang Bao behind him, and walked towards Li Jing's big tent with a big smile.

This Li Jing is also fast enough, as soon as the attendant entered the big tent, he immediately ordered someone to call Zhang Gongjin and Luo Yan. No, when Luo Yan was halfway there, he happened to meet someone sent by Li Jing. He smiled at Li Jing's carefulness in his heart, didn't say a word, and strode over.

After Luo Yan reported, he entered the big tent, and there were Li Jing and his attendants and a few personal guards. Seeing Luo Yan come in, Li Jing smiled and said, "General Luo's speed is fast enough, I just sent someone over in less than half a moment, and you have already come." ”

"Let the big man smile, in fact, when he entered the gate, I already saw it. These days, I was really impatient, and when I saw this person coming, I couldn't care so much, so I rushed over directly. I happened to meet someone sent out by the marshal, so it saved a lot of time. Luo Yan was a little embarrassed, to be honest, if Li Jing didn't send someone to find him, he would come directly, it would be suspected of spying on military aircraft.

Luo Yan's words also amused Li Jing. "It's not just you, in fact, I've been looking forward to them for the past few days. Today, I finally got my wish, hahaha. ”

"What? Is it true? ”

"That's right, at this moment, Tu Li led his men to be only two hundred miles away from the border of the Tang Dynasty, because there was an agreement in advance that we would go to meet him in person, so he sent our people over and asked to send a response team immediately." As soon as Li Jing's words fell, there was a notice from Zhang Gongjin asking to see him. smiled: "Manager Zhang is also an acute child." Quick pass. ”

Zhang Gongjin came in and saw the two of them smiling, knowing that the long-awaited thing finally had an eyebrow, and without waiting for Li Jing to introduce anything, he said: "Good things are coming, I can hold a celebration banquet later." ”

"I called you both to tell you the good news. However, next, it is time to raise the account and tell the generals. Nodding, Li Jing didn't say much, and immediately beat the drum of the gathering generals.

As soon as the three-way drum sounded, the generals had gathered in the big tent.

"The Turki Khan descended to Tang, and a team of men and horses was needed to pick it up. The generals can have suitable candidates and report their names. ”

As soon as Li Jing's words came out, these forty or so generals were like seeing the beautiful girl of the country, and their eyes were shining. What is there to discuss, it must be yourself. In particular, a few leading troops who did not engage in Turkic raiding teams some time ago came, and they were even more scrambling at this moment.

"Dashuai, it has to be me. Some time ago, the other Zhechong provinces went out to clean up the small group of Turkic raiders. We are the only ones who are waiting to defend the camp. Now it's our turn. ”

"Qi Er, what are you talking about, what an important thing it is to defend the camp. If you want to go, it should be me. Last time, I accidentally let go of a few Turkic cavalry, and now I should be guilty of meritorious service. ”

"You can't do it, you still want me to go. Not only do I know Turkic dialect, but I also have a relationship with Turki, and I will be familiar with it when the time comes. ”

"Familiarity is familiarity, I'm afraid that you will fight as soon as you meet."

"Shouldn't I go to this kind of thing? I want to wait for more honor guards in the court, and this time I will definitely make Tuli feel the etiquette and importance of my Datang. ”

"I'm not far off. Why not me? ”

For a time, the big tent became a vegetable market to seize the opportunity to go out into the army.

This kind of credit is not big, but Luo Yan is not willing to let go of the particularly majestic thing. It's not that he is greedy for merit, but that his brothers have been nested in the barracks for a long time, and if they don't go out for a walk, their arms and legs are rusty. What's more, they are still cavalry. I haven't practiced well for several months, and my kung fu is a little rusty.

"Dashuai, I have a reason why I have to go."

Unlike other people, one mouth is the reason, Luo Yan came out of class, hugged his fists, and first blinded these generals.

"Oh, let's hear it." Li Jing didn't care what the others were shouting, and motioned to Luo Yan to explain the reason why he had to go.

"First of all, although Tuli sent the news, the truth of the matter still cannot be believed. This time, the sergeant must be required to have extraordinary combat power and be able to fight and escape. The 1,000 elites under my command are all cavalry, and you have all seen the combat power. ”

This first reason made many generals shut up and start thinking. Everyone was very happy just now, but they all ignored the question of whether the news was reliable. If things change, what will they do about it.

Nodding and agreeing with Luo Yan's words, Li Jing continued to ask, "What else?" ”

"Secondly, in case it is true. From the bottom down, they all belong to Zuo Weiwei, and His Majesty has not accepted the official position of my Zhongshu Sheren here. The Son of Heaven led the royal guard of honor and went to greet the Turki Khan in person, and his dignity was self-evident. If you are familiar with the political affairs of Middle-earth, you will definitely be able to feel the importance of Your Majesty. ”

The second reason is that Luo Yan is unique, as soon as these words came out, those who said prestige all shut up.

Without waiting for Li Jing to ask, Luo Yan said the last reason: "In the end, I am not only an acquaintance of Turkic, but also a little bit of Turkic dialect. I don't know these three reasons, can I convince the marshal to allow me and the thousands of people under my command to go to the border to meet the Tuli Division? Then he didn't blink his eyes and waited quietly for Li Jing to speak.

Looking around, Li Jing asked, "What General Luo said, who is against it?" Why don't you come and explain why? ”

Where else is there anything to say about the generals, the reasons that can be said have been told by Luo Yan. The three reasons are the three advantages, all the generals have this or that, except for Li Jing, it is estimated that no one can compare with Luo Yan.

After being silent for a long time, the generals could only reply stupidly: "We have no objection, what General Luo said, there are things that we have never thought of, and there are things that we can't do." Compared with the two, only he can do it. It's all under the orders of the commander. ”

Seeing that no one objected, Li Jing smiled and nodded.

"Luo Yan listens to orders."

"Ming'er led a thousand men under his command and immediately went out of the camp to the border to meet the Turki Khan and his party. On the way, it can be dispatched from the local area at any time as needed. In addition, the right to act cheaply is hereby granted. If you encounter any changes on the way, you can start a war on your own without asking for instructions. The stakes are high, and the power and responsibility are like a mountain, so I hope you will be cautious. ”

Li Jing's rights to Luo Yan are not insignificant, and Luo Yan is not only happy, but also deeply feels that this trip has a long way to go. After saying "obey Jun's order", Luo Yan came out of the big tent in the envious eyes of the generals, and went to his camp to gather soldiers and horses to prepare to leave the camp.

When they heard the news that they were going out to meet Tuli, Zhou Hu and the others couldn't be happier. hurriedly bowed to Luo Yan, and the girl ran back to their respective barracks, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, pack up your things, there is a business to come to the door, it's time for us to show our skills." Upon hearing this, Luo Yan almost didn't fall. The bandits in the countryside seem to say the same thing. No, it's a problem that has to be fixed.

If you let Zhou Hu know what Luo Yan is thinking at the moment, he will definitely have to shave a few big ears on his face, why is he so cheap.

In just three moments, these thousands of people had already packed their bags, hung up the dry food that Li Jing had ordered the Huotou Army to make urgently, and then came to ask Luo Yan, who was dressed in military uniform: "Tell the general, we have already packed up, and as soon as the general's order comes out, we can leave the camp immediately." ”

Looking at Zhou Hu's excited appearance, Luo Yan was very satisfied, and what he wanted was this excitement. Although it doesn't have to be troublesome, the tiger trapped in the cage loses its sharpness after a long time. Out of the big camp, let the horses go in the snowfields of the northern country, and galloping indulgently is the demeanor of these cavalrymen.

"Check the baggage again, and I'll leave the camp in a moment. In addition, send someone to the big tent to tell the commander, and I don't have to resign. (To be continued.) )
