The annexation of the state is almost there. ［

The fatigue of Xue Shao and his party is difficult to describe in words. If it weren't for the extraordinary physical quality and strong spiritual will, I am afraid that they would have been exhausted.

From the moment he walked into the boundary of Bingzhou, Xue Shao clearly felt an abnormal "depression". The villages and towns in the realm are all uninhabited, and even chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep are difficult to see, and the official road is even more deserted, which is very different from the prosperous scene of cars and horses in the past.

How could a great merger state, an economically prosperous place in Datang, become like this?

Xue Shao was very confused at first, but later gradually figured it out - this is in the clear field of the strong wall!

The small counties, villages, and towns outside the city of Taiyuan were all emptied, and they were ready to rely on Taiyuan to defend against the Turks.

Even the martyrs' village, where the martyrs of the Three Swords Brigade are buried, has become a no-man's land.

Xue Shao gritted his teeth with hatred, this is called a mistake for the officials, and the people are so bitter. Wu Chengsi, the birdman, not only abandoned the soldiers and cities of Yun, Shuo, and Dai Prefectures, but also made so many ordinary people in Hebei homeless and displaced...... Damn it!!

Taiyuan has arrived.

The city here has obviously been heightened and reinforced, and the moat has been widened considerably. A number of arrow carriages and lookout posts have been added on both sides of the hanging gate, and the city is full of banners and flying soldiers, all of them are fully armed and ready to fight, and they are tense to deal with the big war.

When Xue Shao saw this formation, he couldn't help but sneer again and again - the Turks are still eight hundred miles away in Yunzhou, who are you guarding against whom?

"Who's coming?!" A group of soldiers appeared behind the hanging door, and the leading colonel rode across the river and asked menacingly.

"Xue Shao, the governor of Xiazhou, has important things to do in Taiyuan. Open the gates! The ministry replied to Xue Shao.

"Xiazhou?" Xiao Xiao didn't come back to his senses as if his nerves were short-circuited for a while, he pondered for a long time, and muttered to the people around him, "Where is Xiazhou?" ”

"It's like being in Helong!"

"Who is Xue Shao?"

“…… Familiar! Familiar! ”

Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, his subordinates were not so good-tempered, and shouted angrily: "Wait for the frog at the bottom of the well, you don't know Young Marshal Xue!" Open the city gate and invite the young marshal into the city, or you can forgive the sins of contempt! ”

"Yo, you still call yourself handsome? The tone is not small! Xiao Xiaoda laughed disapprovingly twice and said: "The war situation in Hebei is urgent, and Taiyuan is under martial law. Unless ordered to do so, the gates were not to be opened. You said that you are the governor of Xiazhou, why was you born in Taiyuan? If you come to work on a business trip by the emperor's order, you should have an official document to show it. In this way, we will also welcome the city with a clear peak. ”

"It came in a hurry, and there was no official document." The song replied, very annoyed, "Don't talk nonsense, open the door quickly!" ”

"No official documents? That's not going to be enough! After the little colonel finished speaking, he pulled his horse and turned around and left, "If you say it without evidence, how can I know if you are a spy of the enemy country?" ”

"Bastard!! ......" was so angry that he took off the carved bow from the saddle and was about to shoot someone.

"Stop." Xue Shao stopped him with a light snort, and said, "I don't have an official document, but my face is the token to travel the world!" ”

Hearing this, the little colonel stopped the horse again, turned around and walked back a few steps to the river, looked at Xue Shao carefully, and said suspiciously: "No way, I really don't know you!" ”

"With your rank and grade, there are extenuating circumstances." Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Go and call Li Xiaoyi." ”

Xiao Xiao blocked it in his heart and didn't dare to do it, and muttered in his heart: This person actually called Changshi's name? …… It's so arrogant!

"Why don't you go yet?!" Drink big!

Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he was shocked, and said in his heart that this person might really have a great background...... Well, don't offend lightly, go to the peak first!

"Please wait!"

The little school hurriedly took people away.

"This guy really doesn't know how thick the sky is!" The subordinates were very angry and scolded vigorously.

Xue Shao waved his hand and said, "The well frog is not enough to talk about the sea. With the general knowledge of such people, you can only devalue your own worth. ”

The subordinates were stunned at the same time, and hurriedly confessed their mistakes.

Moments later, the suspension bridge in Taiyuan was lowered.

Li Xiaoyi rode a horse and walked out of the city gate to greet him, and said in surprise: "Xue Yuma, why did you come to Taiyuan?" I didn't give a word in advance, so I could let the official arrange to greet him! ”

"That's really, it's a long story!" Xue Shao glanced at Li Xiaoyi's back, there was no one else except for a team of personal soldiers, so he asked, "Where is Wu Chenghe?" ”

"This ......" Li Xiaoyi smiled bitterly, signaled Xue Shao with an expression that the people were mixed, and only said, "That's it, it's a long story!" - Xue Juma, please enter the city! ”

"Please!"

The little school who came out to deal with it stood at the gate of the city, standing straight with a pale face, cold sweat on his forehead.

Xue Shaoda smiled slightly as he passed by him and said, "Do you remember my face?" ”

"Remember, remember!" The little school shook vigorously.

"That's a good thing." Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "Next time I come, I don't have to ask Li Changshi to come and open the door for me in person." ”

Li Xiaoyi reprimanded angrily: "The bastard who looks down on people with dog eyes, you don't recognize the world-famous Xue Concubine, what kind of city gate are you guarding?" ”

"If your subordinates know their mistakes, they deserve death!" The little colonel was frightened and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Li Changshi, those who don't know are not guilty, forget it." Xue Shao smiled, "I'm just in a depressed mood, just tease him to have fun!" ”

"Humph! Today, for the sake of Xue Yuma's feelings, spare you! Li Xiaoyi made a call to Xue Shao and compensated Xue Shao for a while, so he invited Xue Shao to enter the city together and go to the governor's mansion.

The little colonel knelt on the ground and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Painter, I want to find a painter!" …… I'm going to draw his face so that the brothers can remember it all! ”

After entering the Governor's Mansion, Li Xiaoyi hurriedly set up a banquet to treat each other. Xue Shao had never eaten a good meal for many days on the march, and when he arrived here, he was not polite, and he opened his belly and ate enough.

While eating, Xue Shao and Li Xiaoyi roughly talked about his experience from Fengzhou to arriving in Taiyuan today.

Li Xiaoyi was shocked when he heard the book of heaven, especially when he heard that Xue Shao broke the siege of Daizhou and annihilated 50,000 enemy troops, his chopsticks fell off, and he couldn't believe it at all!

"If Li Changshi doesn't believe it, he can send his henchmen to the two states of Shuodai to investigate, and you will find out as soon as you ask." Xue Shao said with a smile, "I'm curious, Wu Chenghe, as the deposed ambassador of Hebei Province, and pretending to be a military and political power, is like His Majesty coming in person." Now that it is a critical moment in the war, where have the others gone? ”

Li Xiaoyi hurriedly dismissed all the idle people on the left and right, and said in a low voice with a wry smile: "Wu Chenghezhi has never been in the state, and after a few orders, he went to Wenshui County, and he has not returned yet!" ”

Wenshui County?

Xue Shao's heart moved, isn't that where Wu Zetian's ancestral home is?

"What are you doing there?" Xue Shao asked.

Li Xiaoyi still smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "What else can I do when I return to my hometown?" ”

Xue Shao gritted his teeth with hatred, "Miscellaneous! ”

"Be careful, be careful!" Li Xiaoyi said in horror, "He is hot now, I heard that he may have to enter the cabinet to pay respects." Xue Yuma, it's better not to argue with him if it's okay. ”

"Nothing?" Xue Shao's eyes widened, "Yunzhou has fallen, the Shuo Dynasty is in danger, countless soldiers and people have been poisoned by the Turks, and the great country has fallen miserably-how can you say that there is nothing to do?!" ”

"Uh, this ......" Li Xiaoyi's face was about to turn into a bitter melon.

"Old handsome Xue Rengui, where is it?" Xue Shao asked again.

Li Xiaoyi sighed and said: "Wu Chenghei's first order after coming to Hebei was to summon the old marshal Xue Rengui to Taiyuan, and ordered the old marshal to bring back the elite troops under his command, that is, the cavalry left after Cheng Wuting went on the Northern Expedition. After the old marshal came, Wu Chengsi asked him to lead the army to escort him all the way to Wenshui County. Then he gave a second order, saying that he would let the soldiers of Yun, Shuo, and Dai Prefecture defend the city to buy time, and at the same time recruit troops in Bingzhou to buy strong walls and clear the wilderness, and rely on the strong city of Taiyuan to resist the Turkic invasion. ”

"It's no wonder that the troops of the two states of Shuodai are so scarce, and they are overstretched to defend the city. The main elite of Erzhou was actually taken to Wenshui County by Wu Chengsi to show off, which is really unreasonable! Xue Shao was angry from his heart and shouted, "The three states of the Yunshuo Dynasty have been a battleground for soldiers who are easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, but Wu Chenghei has to take the initiative to give up!" There are also hundreds of miles of land and people north of Bingzhou, he doesn't want them all! - Li Changshi, Wu Chenghei is clearly losing power, humiliating the country, and harming the country, and the people, and you don't stop it? ”

"I can't stop it!" Li Xiaoyi slapped his hands and spread them helplessly, "He brought with him a guard of Fengchen Guard, and the captain of the guard was holding a thousand ox imperial sword given by His Majesty, saying that those who disobeyed the order of the Qin mission were like resisting the holy decree, and the thousand cow imperial sword could be cut first and then played!" …… In response to the military deployment he made, Lao Shuai and I both argued with reason, but he threatened him with a thousand bull swords! What can I do in this situation? ”

"You all didn't cure him, did you?" Xue Shao drank a whole glass of wine in one go, and slapped the table angrily, "Okay, I'll come!" ”

"Ugh! ......" Li Xiaoyi was taken aback, as an insider, he knew the name of "Xue Rentu" very well, and then he couldn't help but worry, "Xue Yuma, you must not be impulsive." No matter what, he is now also the representative of His Majesty, the minister of the Qincha who patrols Hebei! ”

"You're right." Xue Shao smiled coldly, "But I'm not an official in Hebei, so it's not under his control!" ”

"Uh......" Li Xiaoyi was speechless, and could only smile bitterly, "If you want to say, it's better not to be-for-tat." Anything is easy to discuss! ”

Xue Shao knew that Li Xiaoyi was Wu Zetian's confidant, and it was difficult to be caught in the middle, so he didn't say more to him, but said: "When will Wu Chengji return to Taiyuan?" ”

"I don't know. Maybe when he has enough of the addiction of returning home, he will naturally come back. Li Xiaoyi's expression was very helpless.

"Send someone to call." Xue Shao said, "Let's just say that Xue Shao arrived in Taiyuan and wanted to find him to fight alone!" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyi was dumbfounded on the spot!

"It's just a joke, don't be nervous." Xue Shao said with a smile, "Let's just say that the military situation of Shuo Dynasty is urgent, and I want him to hurry back to the city to discuss military affairs!" ”

"Okay...... I'll send someone! Li Xiaoyi wiped a cold sweat.

Xue Shao secretly sneered, and said in his heart that the latter sentence is the real joke, what military affairs can I discuss with that waste wood basket?

If you want to find him alone, it's sincere!
