Chapter 834 Goes to War

Although he had already guessed the approximate time of Li Ji's expedition and saw Li Shimin's general plan, Liu Yiyi did not make any radical or unexpected moves, and still stayed at home honestly, doing some things that ordinary people should do during the New Year's Festival.

Burning incense to worship ancestors, receiving relatives and friends, eating, drinking and having fun, visiting relatives and friends, this New Year's willow can be described as comfortable and comfortable.

The descendants of Liufu and the tenants in the manor were all beaming, especially the hundreds of tenant farmers who temporarily moved into the manor because of the heavy snowfall, they were even more happy, and they were smiling with joy throughout the year, except for the ten catties of pork distributed by the owner a year ago, and more importantly, they saw hope here.

On the first day of the first day of the new year, Liu Yiyi has been staying at home, because there are generally no visitors in these two days, so Liu Yiyi is rare to accompany his parents, parents-in-law and Luo Tong and their party to play and laugh inside and outside the manor every day.

On the third and fourth days of junior high school and a few days later, Liu Yiyi's original plan was to visit relatives in Sanyuan and visit friends in Chang'an, but he didn't want to, on the day of the third year of junior high school, when they didn't go out, they were disrupted by an accident.

Liu Bing, who has been away from home for half a year and has not been in contact with home for nearly half a month, is back.

With him, there was also the third batch of Bai Diezi caravans, Sanyuan, which entered in the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Gutian Village, which entered at the beginning of the morning, more than fifty widened and lengthened carriages rushed directly to the location of the Liu Manor.

Hearing the report of the housekeeper Liu Wuchen, Liu Yiyi directly canceled all of today's trips, went out of the house in person, and greeted him outside the manor.

Seeing that their owner personally greeted them, Liu Bing, who was cooperating with Liu Cheng to transport the white stacks to the east of the manor, quickly ran to the direction where Liu Yiyi was at the main gate, and when he got closer, he bent over and said excitedly: "Villain Liu Bing, I have given the owner a salute."

"It's dark, and I've lost weight, I can see that you have all suffered hardships in Gaochang this trip." Stretching out his hand to help Liu Bing up, Liu Yiyi looked down at Liu Bing and the people accompanying him, couldn't help but pat Liu Bing's shoulder again, and said solemnly: "You are all the heroes of my Liufu, without your adventure in Gaochang, there would be no brilliant results of our Liufu cotton mill, Liu is here, thank you."

Saying that, Liu Yiyi learned from the managers and directors of those large international companies in later generations, and directly bent over and bowed deeply to Liu Bing and his party, which frightened Liu Bing and Ma Liang and them hurriedly turned sideways, waving their hands again and again, how could they not dare to accept such a big gift from their host.

"Don't be like this," Liu Bing's eyes, who had always been calm, were flushed, and it was worth it to be treated so courteously by their host, and all the hardships and hardships they had endured along the way were worth it

"When we were desperate, it was the owner who took us in," turning to the side, Liu Bing said in a loud voice: "When I was short of food and clothing, and it was rare to eat a full meal all year round, it was the Liu family who gave me clothes to wear, gave me food, and made me live more like a person."

"Do things for the owner, do things for the Liu family, whether it is bitter or tired, even if you will lose your life because of this, we will wait until death, no regrets." Liu Bing said with red eyes: "So, we just did some of our duties, and we didn't deserve such courtesy from the owner." ”

"You are all heroes of Liufu, and you deserve to be worshiped by Liu." Straightening up, Liu Yiyi smiled, seeing that the family members in the house could be so loyal, he couldn't help but be unhappy. Because he saw in the eyes of these people that the kind of loyalty that came from the bottom of his bones, this is a group of people who can do anything for him and for their Liu family.

"Young master," at this time, Liu Wuchen stepped forward to interject and said softly: "Steward Liu and his entourage have been tired from the journey, I'm afraid they are all hungry, and it just so happens that the mansion has prepared a banquet, why don't we go over here?" ”

In this way, Liu Bing, Ma Liang and other heroes were all invited to the mansion, and after they were full of wine and food and received the rewards from the mansion, they scattered in all directions, and Liu Bing, the leader of them, was called to the study by Liu Yi alone for questioning.

"As the young master expected, the lord of Gaochang is indeed thinking of making money and killing people," After reporting all the expenses of this trip and the number of goods that have not been shipped back later, Liu Bing still said to their young master with some trepidation: "If the young master hadn't expected it and the villain had taken precautions in advance, I am afraid that it would have been inevitable that the last time the heavy boat steward had happened." ”

"Well," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, obviously not too surprised by this, looked up at Liu Bing, and asked softly, "Do you know how Chu Yi is doing?" ”

"Back to the young master," Hearing their young master mention Chu Yi at this time, Liu Bing replied somewhat unexpectedly: "Chu Yi has always been by Prime Minister Gaochang's side, and it seems that Qu Yifu is quite valued, but I don't know if Chu Yi is also involved in this plan to make money and kill people." ”

"Him?" Liu Yiyi shook his head quite incomprehensibly, and said, "He is not the kind of person who has no foresight, and he will not do this kind of short-sighted act of killing chickens and eggs." ”

"Did you find anything unusual on the way back?" Not wanting to dwell more on Chu Yi's issue, Liu Yiyi took a sip of hot tea and asked Liu Bing.

"The villain is about to report to the owner," Liu Bing's body was shocked, and he looked up at their young master in surprise, and said in a loud voice: "In order to rush back to Sanyuan as soon as possible, the convoy is all about some rarely visited wilderness shortcuts, that is, the situation of these three or four days, on the snow where the ground has not completely dried, the convoy found a large number of car footprints, suspected, suspected to have a large number of merchant groups or troops passing by. ”

When the Gao and Tang countries were about to go to war, this discovery was extraordinary, so in the past three or four days, Liu Bing has been worried, repeatedly restricting the subordinates in the caravan not to talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble from the mouth and lead to burning.

"Sure enough," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, which confirmed his previous conjecture that Datang would send troops.

"Young master," Liu Bing had the courage to ask their young master, "Is the emperor really already sending troops?" ”

On the way back, I didn't hear any news about the expedition to Gaochang, and on the shortcut road to Gaochang, there were a lot of traces that were obviously not caravan passing, so Liu Bing couldn't help but suspect it.

"Talking about state affairs." Turning his head and glancing at Liu Bing, Liu Yiyi mentioned softly: "There are some things that you know in your heart, don't ask others to mention them, otherwise, it will inevitably be a disaster." ”

"Yes, young master, the villain can save it."

"Okay," Liu Yiyi got up and patted Liu Bing's shoulder, and said softly: "You just came back from other places, and you want to come to your family and miss your relatives very much, so I won't keep you anymore, give you half a month vacation, and then go back to reunite with your family." ”

In the realm of the Tang Dynasty, in the city of Yizhou, Hou Jun gathered a big sword and sat in the county lord's mansion in the city, listening to the endless shouts and killings outside, with a somewhat hideous smile on his face.

30,000 Yili Jian horses, with 30,000 Gaochang Erlang, that is 30,000 unstoppable iron cavalry division.

On the night of getting the 30,000 iron horses, Hou Junji changed his original intention of running after the robbery, immediately mobilized the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and began a crazy surprise attack for three consecutive days, the time was on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the target was the city of Yizhou, where he is now.

The sound of killing outside shook the sky, but it was mostly the useless resistance of some routs, there was no need to worry, Hou Junji sat firmly in the county lord's mansion, with a solemn expression, after tonight, this Yizhou will no longer belong to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, from now on, the battle between Gao and Tang has officially kicked off.

"Master" remnant sword carried a roasted whole sheep to report, respectfully handed the roast sheep, and said in a loud voice: "Except for a small number of routs who escaped, the rest of the Tang Dynasty defenders have been ambushed, and now the entire Yizhou City has been controlled. ”

"A small Yizhou city, it took three days, it's really unlucky" unceremoniously raised his hand and tore off a leg of mutton, biting it hard, Hou Junji said violently: "It must be that Yang Kunshang, obstructed when grabbing horses, and sent a letter to the siege of the city, if he hadn't choked on it, Lao Tzu would have been able to take Yizhou two days ago, and he couldn't have arrived outside the Yumen Pass now."

Thinking of the situation when he was ambushed by Yang Kunshang when he crossed the border to grab the horse, he almost died of old age, Hou Junji gritted his teeth with hatred, beat his chest, and then thought about the siege and was treated by the Yizhou defenders for a long time, and lost thousands of people and horses, Hou Junji was even more distressed, there were not many people who were good at riding in his hands, and more than a thousand people died this time, when can he make up for it?

Also, Hou Junji poured a bowl of wine, and when he grabbed the horse, there were only healthy horses and no one in Yantian Ranch, just like Yang Kunshang, they seemed to have expected that they would go to grab the horse.

What makes Hou Junji a little surprised and puzzled so far is why they knew that Lao Tzu would go to snatch the horses, but they didn't have the idea of getting the horses away, or simply offering them to the Tang Dynasty defenders, but obediently cooperated with the 30,000 Yili Jian horses to give them away?

Could there be some conspiracy in this? Or is someone secretly helping?

"Have you ever caught that Yang family child?" Putting aside the doubts that he couldn't figure out, swallowing the minced meat in his mouth, Hou Junji asked the remnant sword sharply.

"Back to the master," the remnant sword replied in a low voice: "I have never seen any trace of Yang Kunshang, not only him, but even the city lord of Yizhou has not been captured, thinking about it, thinking that they have already fled to the territory of Shazhou." ”

"Chasing" threw the leg of mutton in his hand on the table, and Hou Junji roared violently: "Go down and order all the soldiers, continue to pursue to the southeast after they are full of wine and food, and two days later, Lao Tzu will drink wine in Shazhou City."

"Yes, general" the remnant sword straightened up and responded in a loud voice, and then looked up at their master carefully, and said in a low voice: "Master, the cavalry marched too fast, and the supplies behind were not enough, if the chase was too fierce, I am afraid it would be ......."

"Do you need supplies for the cavalry who are afraid of a bird?" Hou Junji glared, and said violently: "All the counties and counties in the Tang Dynasty are Lao Tzu's granaries, do you still need someone to transport them?" ”

"Tell to go down" Hou Junji ordered loudly: "Everyone brings enough rations for three days, and if they can't take Shazhou City after three days, they will all be hungry for Lao Tzu."

"Yes, General," Remnant Sword replied straightening up again, before turning and exiting
