Chapter 176: Borrowing Troops from the Turks (2)
Dad simply turned over and dismounted, and I came out of the ambush bushes, holding a rope, and it was Zhen Zhai'er who wanted to escape.
Zhen Zhai'er didn't look good, and when she saw her father, she turned her head, and she didn't even bother to look at her father.
Dad saw Zhen Zhai'er, walked up to him and said, "It's really not very comfortable to be trapped between the wild mountains. ”
Zhen Zhai'er said coldly: "Hmph! If I want to catch you, I'll kill you!" ”
Daddy was not angry and smiled: "Oh? But I don't want to kill you, but if you want to, will you bow down to me? ”
Zhen Zhai'er spat a mouthful of saliva, "Give Yang Guang Xiao'er a life, it's better to give me a knife!" ”
Dad said: "You ask yourself, I govern Shanxi, can I be harsh on the people?" ”
Zhen Zhai'er looked at her father hatefully, and thought for a while before saying, "No." ”
Daddy said again: "Then why did you kill me?" ”
Zhen Zhai'er thought for a while and said, "The officials of the court are all scum!" Even if Lao Tzu is a ghost, he will not let one go! ”
Dad smiled again: "But I want to let you go, as long as ...... You are at my disposal......"
"Phew!" A mouthful of spit went straight onto Daddy's sleeve.
Dad was not angry, but said: "It's me, not the court." ”
Zhen Zhai'er seemed to have just come to her senses, and sneered: "Even Tang Guogong ......"
Daddy waved his hand, "Will you say yes or not?" ”
I stepped forward and said, "If you agree, not only will you have your life, but you can continue to fight against the court, if you don't agree, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the knife in my hand." ”
Zhen Zhai'er looked at the Turkic people behind me, and finally believed her father's words, but she still thought about it for a long time before finally nodded.
Dad looked at the Turkic soldiers around me, patted me on the shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's exactly what my father wants." ”
Saying that, he asked Xu Shixu, who was following him, to go back and tell Li Shimin and Pei Lin that he was caught in a Turkic ambush when he was staying in Taiyuan to defeat the Lishan Snitch, and now his life and death are unknown.
The news soon spread throughout Shanxi, and even alarmed Mrs. Wan and Zimin, who were far away in Hedong.
After Liu Wenjing withdrew, he turned back to join us, and the 4,000 Turkic soldiers I borrowed lost 16 in the process of this initial test.
Dad didn't expect that Shi would lend me troops so happily after all, and with the support of the Turks, Liu Wuzhou's stirring up in the north would not pose a threat to Daddy's attack on Luoyang or take Chang'an.
Dad and I went to the Turkic border and stayed in a tent for a few days.
A few days later, Liu Wenjing came with the news that Wang Wei and Gao Junya had been killed.
Li Shimin took 10,000 soldiers and Chen Bing to the border of Dasui to pick up his father back to Jinyang.
When my father and I walked out of the ranks of the Turks, Li Shimin sat on a horse, full of armor, majestic, as if he was dressed as a commander.
Although Daddy didn't say anything, I could feel his obvious displeasure when I stood beside him, because before Daddy left, he had made it clear that if he wasn't there, Liu Hongji would command the whole army.
Li Shimin saw that my father and I walked out safe and sound, so he turned over and dismounted and gave a military salute to his father: "Shimin has seen my father." ”
Dad said lightly: "Where is Liu Hongji?" ”
A person stood up behind Li Shimin, and he also knelt down and said, "The last general." ”
Dad didn't speak, walked around them to Li Shimin's war horse, stepped on the back of the horse with the reins, and was about to leave.
Liu Hongji and Li Shimin knelt on the ground, not getting up, not getting up.
I was also a little embarrassed to stand in front of them, so I had to bow down to help, and my father sat on the horse and said solemnly: "Get up!" ”
When they heard the sound, Li Shimin got up, and we just looked at each other.
In addition to the unhappiness in his eyes, there was also a very complicated emotion, which I couldn't quite understand, and Liu Hongji on the side turned around a little stupidly and returned to the team.
Daddy said: "Built, 4,000 Turks, under your command, no one except me is allowed to call, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”
I arched my hand and said, "Yes." ”
Li Shimin glanced at me, took a half step forward and wanted to say something, Dad glanced at him, and he retreated.
In the Jinyang Palace, Liu Wenjing saw his father coming back, and before he could rest for a while, he asked: "Ming Gong, now that Wang Gao and the others have been executed, when will we have an incident?" ”
Dad slapped the table and said a little angrily: "Wen Jing, this is not mentioned for the time being." ”
Liu Wenjing asked rhetorically: "The arrow is on the string, why didn't Ming Gong send it?" ”
Li Shimin also said: "Father, if you don't do anything at this time, when will you wait?" ”
Dad looked at Li Shimin, shook his head, and looked at me again.
I looked at Li Shimin and said: "Shimin, Mrs. Wan is still in Hedong, if they are announced to the world at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to be saved, no matter what, they must be taken to Jinyang for resettlement first, and my father can rest assured." ”
Li Shimin listened to my words, was stunned for a moment, then looked at his father and lowered his head.
Pei Lin also said: "Brother Shude, I'm afraid the news of Wang Gao's death will reach Luoyang in a few days, Yue Wang Yang Tong is not stupid, he must know that there is a change in Jinyang, if Heluo is blocked, then ......"
I interrupted Pei Lin and said, "Father, how about I pick them up?" ”
Dad pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "There is also Sanniang." ”
I nodded, "Okay." With that, he was leaving.
Li Shimin stopped me and said, "Father, Shimin is willing to go with my eldest brother." ”
I opened my eyes wide to see my father's reaction, hoping that he would shake his head and leave Li Shimin behind, but my father thought about it and nodded.
I was disappointed for a while, the tacit understanding between me and my dad has been around for a long time, and he knows everything I was thinking, but this time it didn't come as I thought, hey.
As soon as I thought of going to walk with Li Shimin, I felt embarrassed in my heart, knowing that he had a lot of skills to deal with his own carving insects, but for the sake of my father's career, I had to put up with him.
Dad explained to me the reason for his unhappiness, when attacking Zhen Zhai'er, Dad was careless for a while, and did not find someone to move the rescuers, and later found someone to move, and he had already explained that he wanted to let the eldest grandson Shunde, Dad's doorman in his early years, come to lead the troops, but it was Li Shimin who led the troops when he came.
The military order should be like a mountain, and this kind of noisy approach of taking Dad's words as a deaf ear, Dad is really disgusted.
This also illustrates a problem, Li Shimin's kung fu to win people's hearts is really powerful, let's just say that the two generals under my father, Sun Shunde and Liu Hongji, are also obedient to Li Shimin, not to mention the Jinyang Ling Liu Wenjing.
We walked a long way away from Jinyang, and Li Shimin rode on a horse, looking at the scene of spring, and actually laughed.
I wasn't in the mood to laugh with him, just gave him a polite look.
He smiled and raised his horsewhip and pointed around: "In a few years, in this world, I will probably have the surname Li!" ”
His words were even more rampant than I said, and when I thought of what my father had entrusted me, he also had a headache about Li Shimin's eagerness for quick success.
