"Lord, Feixue, why are you here?" Li Xuanqing's arrival surprised Wang Houchun, who had just taken over the reorganization of the rebel army, and hurriedly arranged for them to enter the city to rest.

"You're here, why can't I come?" Li Xuanqing hadn't spoken yet, and Li Feixue on the side grinned and said, "Houchun, how many good things have you caught this time?" I've heard that Wang Shifan has sent all his last old bottoms to the door, and he hurriedly handed them over, don't think about swallowing them privately, these are all national treasures, yes, national treasures. ”

Looking at this guy who looked like a fan of money, Li Xuanqing shook his head, kicked and scolded with a smile: "Don't play treasure, hurry up and settle the troops, the soldiers are already tired of galloping all the way." After sending Li Feixue away, Li Xuanqing asked Wang Houchun: "What about An Xiuxiu and Gao Siji?" And where is the Wang Shifan who sent the treasure? ”

"My lord, they are guarding the palace in the city, Gao Siji is running in the cavalry troops, and An Xiuxiu temporarily became a civil affairs officer. Wang Shifan hid in the city, probably regretting it. Wang Houchun smiled and said: "Lord, let's go to the city guard mansion now, General Gao has already notified them, and it is estimated that they are waiting now." ”

When Li Xuanqing heard this, he took the guards to follow Wang Houchun and quickly came to the mansion in the city, which was originally the general's mansion of Wang Side, the general of Cangzhou, but it was changed to the city guard mansion after being taken over by An Xiuxiu.

When Li Xuanqing and the others arrived at the City Guard Mansion, An Xiuxiu was already greeting him, followed by a general. An Xiuxiu had already seen Li Xuanqing in Daizhou, so when he saw Li Xuanqing coming, he went up directly to salute. However, the general next to him stared at Li Xuanqing in a daze.

"Well, my lord, should we go in and talk." Wang Houchun saw An Xiuxiu standing there with an embarrassed face, and wanted to pull Gao Siji over to salute, but the latter was obviously not something he could say, so he broke this silence and said.

Wang Houchun's words were regarded as saving An Xiuxiu, who hurriedly cast a grateful glance at Wang Houchun and led everyone to the mansion. Baixin took the guards to follow Wang Houchun's personal guards to rest.

"Lord, let me introduce you, this is General Gao Sijigao." After several people arrived in the hall, Wang Houchun stood up and pointed to the general who was dressed in black armor, around thirty years old, with a flowing figure and a tall physique, next to An Xiuxiu, and said with a smile: "General Gao is an expert in marksmanship, I didn't know how to do it before, but I didn't go through thirty moves." ”

Li Xuanqing waved his hand and said, "General Gao has been staring at the general, do you have anything to say?" ”

Gao Siji stared at Li Xuanqing for a long time, shook his head, and said in a cold voice: "There is only one thing that is not clear, I hope the general can solve the doubts." ”

"I guess I want to ask the eldest brother's family, right?" Li Xuanqing nodded and said, "They are now in Fengzhou City, you can go and see them after this battle." Speaking of which, my eldest nephew should also be enrolled in school now. Last time I passed by Toyosu, the military situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to go over to take a look. Li Xuanqing originally just explained, but when he said it, he couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally: "The two generals are my eldest brother's henchmen, and I don't want to say more than that, since I can come to Cangzhou City, in addition to winning this battle, I hope you can take the place of my eldest brother and think about the future and fate of the Shatuo people." After this battle, Tiance Mansion will definitely recover the northern territory, and the life and death of the Shatuo people is not so much in the hands of my Li Xuanqing, but in the hands of the two of you. ”

Li Xuanqing's words also made the hearts of these two people inexplicably warm, An Xiuxiu was about to speak, but was preempted by Gao Siji next to him, "What does the general mean by this?" ”

"I want you to take on the role of leading the Shatuo people. The world of Datang has been chaotic for a hundred years, and it is time to end. Tiance Mansion is focusing on building a big family of the Chinese nation, breaking tribal boundaries and promoting ethnic integration. Li Xuanqing lightly explained the concept of a great nation in later generations: "You Shatuo people must also be mentally prepared. ”

"Well, it's not a hurry, even if you don't want to, there are other ways." Li Xuanqing knew that this thing was too advanced for this era, and the national integration of all dynasties and dynasties was the result of unconsciousness, so he didn't say anything.

"The general really thinks that we can hold Cangzhou? Even if you can hold Cangzhou, how long can you hold it? Gao Siji asked. An Xiuxiu's face beside him changed, and he wanted to say something but didn't speak.

Li Xuanqing glanced at this guy when he heard this, and remembered that history didn't say that Gao Siji was strong, and there were not so many twists and turns? Why is this person in front of him concerned about the battle situation? However, he didn't dwell too much on these questions, and just asked, "How many cavalry does General An have?" ”

"More than 50,000 people." An Xiuxiu replied honestly.

"This time, I brought 35,000 people from the guard battalion. Together with the 50,000 people in General An's hands, there are more than 80,000 people in total. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, if the cavalry corps of more than 80,000 people still can't defeat the Xuanwu army, then I can only say that the cavalry will not have much effect. Li Xuanqing continued: "It is still possible to defend the city with infantry, reorganize the combat strength, and use cavalry to maneuver around for a month or two. The Tiance Army has already marched into Youhe from two directions in the northwest. ”

"Cangzhou is a fulcrum erected by the Tiance Army in the east, and the more enemies it attracts, the easier it is for the Tiance Army to go in other directions." Wang Houchun took Li Xuanqing's words and said: "Two generals, please rest assured, my Tiance Army does not mean to use the Xuanwu Army to consume your troops. As for the reorganization, we will wait until after this battle is over. ”

"I heard that Zhu Zhen has led the army to Cangzhou, tomorrow the cavalry will go out of the city to attack the opponent's flank, cover the rebel army and materials into Cangzhou, Houchun, all the defense of Cangzhou, including the reorganization and training of the rebel army, are all in charge of you, give me half a month to reorganize seven battalions of regular troops, and the rest of the personnel will be organized into the logistics department. Xiao Si has already arranged for the relevant people to come over, and he should be able to arrive in Cangzhou in the next few days," Li Xuanqing stopped several people's questions about this issue and directly began to order.

"General An, you and General Gao are either in charge of the Shatuo cavalry, and the remaining one will stay in Cangzhou for the time being to assist Houchun in completing other matters. General Gao is right, we are alone in the dangerous city, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs can't send someone to take over government affairs for the time being, so for the time being, you two can take care of Cangzhou's government affairs and people's livelihood. After Li Xuanqing finished instructing Wang Houchun, he turned to Gao Siji and An Xiuxiu.

An Xiuxiu and Gao Siji glanced at each other, nodded, and took the order.

"Lord, are you really at ease with the two of them? What do I think of this, why does Gao Siji think there is something wrong with him? Wang Houchun asked after the two left.

Li Xuanqing shook his head and said: "It's not that there is a problem, but because he has no choice, so he has no enthusiasm, and feels that we are risking the lives of these people." ”

"You go and prepare, your task is the heaviest during this time, Xiao Si has already transferred part of the backbone of the logistics department and Xuan Yingwei, you can arrange it well." Li Xuanqing touched his forehead, asked Wang Houchun to get busy, rested a little, and turned around and went to the camp of the guard camp.

"Lord, the information that Xuan Yingwei just sent." When Li Xuanqing arrived at Li Feixue's handsome tent, Xuanyingwei's secret guard also sent the latest information.

"Zhu Zhen's striker general is Wang Yanzhang's brother?" Li Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Zhu Quanzhong still cares about his younger brother very much, but there is no one else who is chosen by this pioneer general, the second in the world." Feixue, now that they have arrived in the city, how about we go and challenge it? ”

"Haha, the lord's idea is okay, I will immediately gather troops and go out of the city to fight." Li Feixue laughed, ready to gather troops but was stopped by Li Xuanqing, "Do you need so many people to fight?" You can bring your personal guards and Baixin them, and then send someone to inform Houchun and ask him to send new recruits to the castle tower to defend the city. The Guards Battalion rests. ”

Li Feixue's personal guards plus Baixin had less than 2,000 people, so they drove out of the city in such a grand manner.

"Lord, the way this Xuanwu army set up camp is good, this camp is indeed an expert." Li Feixue and Li Xuanqing went out of the city for five miles and saw the undulating Xuanwu Army barracks opposite, only to see that the arrangements of the various camps were staggered, and all kinds of precautions were also in order, so they immediately opened their mouths and praised.

This group of people has not stepped forward to challenge, and dozens of horsemen behind them hurriedly caught up, but it was Gao Siji and his party.

"General Gao is also planning to come out to investigate the other party's enemy?" When Li Feixue saw Gao Siji coming out, she immediately smiled and said, "Coincidentally, my lord and I plan to have a fight with that Wang Yanzhang to see how capable this second in the world is." ”

"Okay, Feixue, come forward and call the battle, I've been fighting for so long, and I really haven't played the battle method of heads-up before the battle. Guards lined up in formation. Li Xuanqing sent Li Feixue forward to call for the battle, turned back to Gao Siji and asked a little curiously: "General Gao followed my eldest brother to fight against the Xuanwu Army for a long time, I don't know if he has ever fought against this Wang Yanzhang?" ”

"I've played three times, but I think I'm a little bit inferior. This man has excellent arm strength and exquisite marksmanship, and the general should not be taken lightly. Gao Siji was a little abrupt when asked, so he had to answer honestly.

Li Xuanqing sighed when he heard this, since Li Cunxiao's death, his two henchmen have lost their backbone and become decadent and negative, if Li Cunxiao is still there, Gao Siji will definitely not answer like this, even if he is not an opponent, he will be high-willed and unstoppable.

But at this time, it is not the time to say this, Li Feixue has already alarmed the other party, saying that this guy has a cynical look wherever he goes, let him call the formation, this guy directly beckoned his subordinates to step forward and gave the other party's guards a rain of arrows, dozens of guards were shot to the ground, and this movement directly made a big noise.

"Lord, my way of calling the formation is different, I didn't say a word, and just let them mess up first." After seeing the results, Li Feixue withdrew and returned to Li Xuanqing's side, and said with a smile.

"Okay, people have come out, but it doesn't seem to be Wang Yanzhang and them, right?" Li Xuanqing stopped this guy's nonsense, and looked up at the crowd of people and horses in the Xuanwu Army camp.

"I don't know the last general, I should be a general who doesn't enter the stream. However, just now the striker Shuai Qi moved, Wang Yanzhang should also know about it. Gao Siji didn't know the person from the other side.

"Feixue, arrange for someone to go up and cut him, we're here to make trouble today. Put away the head for me, and hang it on the Cangzhou city wall when the time comes. Li Xuanqing said with a smile. Before the words fell, Li Feixue's personal guards rushed out and said, "Lord, let the young general go and take down this guy's head." ”

"Lord, he is the leader of my personal guard, Guo Chongtao, I met when I was in Daizhou." Li Feixue saw Li Xuanqing's eyes and explained: "His martial arts are not bad. ”

"Are you Guo Chongtao?" Li Xuanqing glanced at the general in front of him curiously, and said with a smile: "If you can cut down the general, I will let you be the guard." ”

"Please rest assured, the young general will live up to his mission." Guo Chongtao gave a military salute to Li Xuanqing, turned around and rode his horse and rushed forward.

"Lord, isn't this promotion a little too fast?" Li Feixue was a little puzzled.

Li Xuanqing waved his hand and said: "After this battle, let him enter the military academy to study for three months, I will explain it, and give him a guard after he comes out, don't worry, even if you give him a commander, this guy will not be able to bear it." ”

Li Xuanqing's words made the people around him confused, and they didn't know why Li Xuanqing directly promised to appreciate just after hearing what the other party's name was, but Li Xuanqing didn't explain anything, but he was very curious about how this guy who left a name in history was met by Li Feixue.

However, at this time, Guo Chongtao rushed to the side of the general of the Xuanwu Army with a wave of excitement, and he stabbed directly with a gun without saying a word.

But to be honest, this battlefield is basically not familiar with the Tiance Army, and the concept that Li Xuanqing brought from later generations is basically to fight directly after going to the battlefield, and directly abandon this set of tactics of the ancients, if you don't want to see Wang Yanzhang today, it is estimated that there will be no such one.

Guo Chongtao's move frightened the other party, hurriedly set up the oncoming spear, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the other party to have almost no burden to make another move, after the spear turned slightly, it swept out, and the huge gun head in the sun brought a strong wind to hit the opponent's weapon directly, and it was directly made the opponent fly, and then the spear was extended, giving the other party a heart-chill.

"This kid is weird." Li Feixue looked at the other party's corpse and came back and said with a smile: "Lord, you have lost it, this guy has changed Wei Zheng with two moves." ”

"Enlighten the lord, fortunately not disgraced." Guo Chongtao gave a military salute to Li Xuanqing and said with a smile.

"After returning to Chang'an, I will go to the military academy to study for three months, and then look for Feixue." Li Xuanqing smiled slightly: "Let's return to the team." ”

"General, Wang Yanzhang is here, and the one in green armor behind him is his younger brother Wang Yantong." Gao Siji said in a low voice.

Li Xuanqing smiled when he heard this: "Feixue, I think you should go and talk to Wang Yanzhang, let him surrender directly, lest I knock down these two brothers with one shot." ”

"Lord, I don't have the ability of Xiao Si to say that the living are dead." Li Feixue said with a bitter face when she heard this: "Why don't you go up, anyway, I guess I can't beat them." ”

Li Xuanqing took the soul-breaking gun handed over by Baixin and said with a smile: "You, go back and let you go to the military academy too, I'll go talk to these two brothers." The jade lion hissed with its head raised, leaped up like a long rainbow, and rushed towards the other party.
