Ten miles outside the city of Shanzhou in the southwest, Li Ji has withdrawn 100,000 troops to garrison Jiannan Road for cultivation, and 200,000 troops are guarding a city full of thunder, and they can't enter, as awkward as eating with a stone in their mouths.

So leaving 100,000 to defend the enemy and counterattacking, and withdrawing 100,000 also lightened the burden.

These days, Li Ji has also been thinking hard about countermeasures, he has been using thunder, but he didn't expect that one day the enemy would use this method to deal with him, the small city in front of him was only five miles away, and he looked like a hedgehog covered in thorns, and he didn't know where to start.

"Dashuai, the Chang'an emergency report has replied."

The messenger came in and handed over a reply from the emperor.

Li Ji opened it and looked at it carefully, and smiled bitterly in his heart, His Majesty did not let the troops retreat, and there was no support, let alone a clever plan, he only said that he believed in us and other front-line soldiers, but I didn't know that we were helpless.

Li Ji, who had followed Li Er's campaign for many years, knew in his heart that it was a shame for the country to be occupied by a city, and it was necessary to be ashamed with the character of the emperor.

The urgent report he sent to the emperor at the beginning said that it was recommended to stay in the army, and most of them retreated in order to plan for the future, because there were too many casualties in the attack, and the Tang Dynasty could not afford to lose.

Now although the emperor's reply did not say that he wanted to attack, the meaning that he could not retreat between the lines had already jumped on the paper, but he did not say that he would do whatever it takes, this is the mind of this overlord emperor, and the sacrifice of destroying the country and hegemony is worth it.

It's a pity, it's a pity that he is a general, not a prince, Li Ji, who loves soldiers like a son, closed his eyes and sighed, he couldn't let the soldiers dare to charge, after all, this is not the moment of life and death.

"Dashuai, the Marquis of Zhongnan Academy also brought you a secret letter." The messenger handed over one more.

Li Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, often when everyone was helpless, Bai Fan was in a hurry, and this time it wouldn't be another clever plan.

Glancing at the messenger, Li Ji shouted: "Is there a secret letter that you don't want to take out together?" Is there anything left? ”

"Enlightened handsome, there is no more."

"Then step down and go down and claim the reward."

Opening Bai Fan's secret letter, Li Ji was a little disappointed, it turned out that Bai Fan had no way to break the enemy, but he recommended a disciple to come to experience, and only said that he would take care of one or two.

Li Ji didn't care much about it, and just helped each other out of friendship.

A month later, Li Mingxin came to the camp to report, and Li Ji arranged for him to be the Sima of the Chinese Army, responsible for the army's Chinese books, but the new student bluntly said that he had a strategy to break the enemy, which made Li Ji quite surprised.

"The student was born in the Li family of Longxi, and he is a brother to Li Xinzhong, the lord of Tubo, and he is willing to persuade his brother to surrender for the sake of the marshal." Li Mingxin saluted.

When Li Ji heard this, he was shocked, how could this student be a member of the Li family in Longxi? Jian Zhi is so confused, at this time, you didn't send a capable disciple, why do you send a person with a doubtful identity?

In fact, Li Ji didn't know, this was exactly what Bai Fan did to test his disciples, Li Mingxin has been a good student for three years in school, but no one can see through what his heart really is, and he can use this opportunity to prove that his heart is also good.

"Oh? It turned out to be the queen of the famous family.

Since it was sent by Jian Zhi, you have no doubts about your ability and loyalty, but I will also pass the Tubo Li Xinzhong, I have not taken advantage of him in the past two months, this person has a grudge in his chest, his heart is as hard as iron, and it is impossible to surrender.

You are kind-hearted and know, but you are a disciple of Jianzhi, and I need to be responsible for your safety when I come to the army, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Jianzhi. ”

Li Ming said with a straight face: "Since you are in the army, life and death are in the sky, and the horse leather shroud should be honored."

The marshal should treat me equally, and I should not be treated differently because of the relationship between my family and teacher, otherwise the students will not be able to truly experience the army.

The student knows that he may not be able to convince his brother, but entering the city to investigate is also a military need, at least his brother will not do anything to me, if he can find out the weaknesses in the city of Jianzhou, it is an opportunity. ”

Li Ji nodded and praised, sure enough, he was from a famous family with an extraordinary temperament, and after pondering again and again, he agreed to this risky strategy, as for whether he wanted to explain to Bai Fan if something happened, I am afraid that Bai Fan had already expected it.

When the defenders of the city of Shanzhou saw one person and one rider coming out of the Tang camp, they immediately shot it with bows and arrows, and the people who came were famous.

Li Mingxin claimed that he was a friend of the lord of the Tubo country, and asked the guards to go and report it.

The guards did not dare to slack off, and urgently reported to Li Xinzhong in the city.

The design of the battle for several days made Li Xinzhong a little physically and mentally exhausted, but it was inevitable that he could not rush back and forth when the war started, and Li Xinzhong was temporarily stationed in the small city of Shanzhou, and did not return to the capital of Tubo City, and wanted to wait until when the Tang Dynasty knew the difficulty and retreated.

"Hey, the strength of the Tubo country is weak, and I can't even find a talent, if there are one or two generals, I don't have to personally defend against the attack of the Tang Dynasty, then Li Ji is an old fox, and others may not be able to defeat it." Li Xinzhong muttered to himself.

"Report, the lord of Qiyu, there is a Tang man outside the city, named Li Mingxin, who claims to be your friend and asks to see him."

Who?

Li Xinzhong got up in shock, did you hear it right, Li Mingxin? His second brother?

Didn't he say that he followed the thief Bai Fan to the academy to study? How did you get to the battlefield? Could it be Bai Fan's conspiracy? Or is it Li Ji's conspiracy?

I came to the city in person to take a look, and sure enough, it was the second brother I hadn't seen for a few years, a good boy, it's good, it's great, it's raining in time.

Li Xinzhong was overjoyed, he fell asleep and sent a pillow, he was making trouble about the lack of talents, and this was sent to the door.

personally went out of the city to welcome Li Mingxin into the city, and Li Xinzhong welcomed his younger brother very ceremoniously.

When the two brothers got together again, they were already enemies and enemies, and they really had a different feeling.

"Second brother, this, all these years, are you okay?" Suddenly I didn't know how I spoke, Li Xinzhong subconsciously asked this sentence.

"Well, it's okay, the gentlemen and brothers in the academy are very good to me." Li Mingxin looked at his brother carefully, wanting to see something.

"What about Bai Fan? I heard that you worshipped him as a teacher? What does he do to you? Li Xinzhong asked.

"Master, he is also very good to me, as the world says, he is really the first teacher in the world, teaching every student according to his aptitude is very good, maybe because of my grandfather, he often brings me to his side to guide and teach."

Grandpa? Hearing these three words, Li Xinzhong was a little sluggish for a while, he had been planning revenge for many years, and he was too busy to talk about his relatives.

"Big brother, I came to ask you a word today."

"Hehe, you want to ask me, did I kill my grandfather?"

"Yes, is it you?"

Li Xinzhong was in good shape, shook his head and said: "It's not me, you know, it's also my grandfather, how can I do it?"

At that time, their Qingcheng group had long been determined to die, how could they have left to survive when the assassin was killed?

Grandpa Tai's kung fu was the highest, and after assassinating Songtsen Gampo of Tubo, he was unable to be killed by the army.

I, I want to save him, but I can't save him. ”
