To the surprise of most of the people present, Li Xiantong did not make any defense or resistance, and let Wu Chenghei's Fengchen guards arrest him without saying a word, and then escorted him down.

Wu Chengsi's expression was obviously shocked, "Why didn't he say anything?" ”

"Others don't know Li Xiantong, I know." Xue Shao said, "He is like a cold poisonous snake, he will never duel with anyone in a big way, he will only secretly use poisonous fangs behind his back to take people's lives." ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Chengji was a little confused.

"Look at the scene today, I was present with the old general, and Wu Shangshu was suspicious of him again and ordered him to be arrested. Even if he has a hundred mouths on his body, how can he excuse himself with a few words? Xue Shao said, "So he simply didn't speak, and used silence to represent his protest." His abnormal behavior can undoubtedly arouse Wu Shangshu's suspicions. After I leave with the old general, Wu Shangshu will inevitably interrogate him again in private - at that time, it will be his chance to quibble and overturn the case. ”

"......" Wu Chengsi was stunned, he didn't expect that what he was thinking at the moment would be said by Xue Shao!

"Wu Shangshu, how you want to interrogate Li Xiantong is your power. The mouth grows on his body, and how to justify it is also his business. But I always firmly believe that the truth cannot be false, and the truth cannot be true, and the facts speak louder than words. Xue Shao said, "By the way, I must remind Wu Shangshu of another thing, Li Xiantong may be a spy of the enemy country - of course, it is just possible!" I don't have real evidence! ”

"Enemy spies?" Wu Chengsi was stunned, "How is this possible?" ”

Even Xue Rengui showed a look of surprise.

"If you look back and think about what he did, it is not difficult to have such a guess." Xue Shao said, "During the last Northern Expedition, Li Xiantong originally stayed in Chang'an, but he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Bingzhou to join his grandfather Li Chongyi. Immediately, he framed Cheng Wuting and almost led to the fall of Shuozhou. After the incident was defeated, he teamed up with Wei Juyuan to set aside his grandfather Li Chongyi, in a vain attempt to control the entire Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and drag the Northern Expeditionary Army back. This matter was defeated again, and he joined his grandfather to counterattack and calculate, making Wei Shiyuan a scapegoat. After that, he launched a mutiny to control the Governor's Mansion, intending to seize the military power in the hands of the old general Li Jinxing. Unexpectedly, the matter was broken by Xue, and Xue and General Li broke his game and took down his grandparents and grandchildren together. This brown piece by piece, doesn't it look like an enemy spy is sabotaging the internal of my Datang? ”

Wu Chengji was dumbfounded, stunned, "It sounds like that......

Also, in order to seek more talismans for himself, Li Xiantong even did not hesitate to let his wife have an affair with others. I don't pick out this matter, I guess Wu Shangshu knows it in his own heart. In addition, at the last moment of escorting Chang'an for trial, Li Xiantong did not hesitate to betray his grandfather and father to save himself. Xue Shao said, "Everyone has a bottom line, and if you endure extraordinary humiliation, you must have extraordinary plans." On the surface, he did a lot of things out of his own personal grudges against Xue himself. But if it's just to kill someone Xue, engage in some poisoning conspiracy or send some assassins, why bother to go to great lengths and even do not hesitate to harm your own family? - Isn't that suspicious? ”

Wu Chengji was dumbfounded and extremely surprised!

"Finally, one of the most suspicious things." Xue Shao said, "On the night of the death of the first emperor, I was ordered to go to the Taichu Palace in Luoyang to face the king, but I was attacked by assassins at Tianjin Bridge and almost died. It was an extraordinary time, and the possibility of the assassin choosing to kill me at that time was extremely unlikely to take revenge, mainly to disrupt the political situation in the Tang Dynasty, so that the alien enemies who were about to move could take advantage of it. Sure enough, not long after the death of the first emperor and my assassination, the Turks immediately rebelled and broke through several states on the border of our Tang Dynasty. ”

"But how can you be sure that the assassin is related to Li Xiantong?" Wu Chengji asked.

"At that time, I was summoned to the palace by secret summons, and very few people knew about it—but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, who is now the Emperor, was accompanying the Emperor at that time, and he knew it. And Li Xiantong was exactly the Donggong rate at that time, that is, the captain of the guard of His Royal Highness the Prince. There is a good chance that he will find out about it. Xue Shao said, "Of course, I don't have any definite evidence on this matter, and it's just my intuition and speculation." However, it is very likely that Cheng Di Renjie of Dali Temple, who was ordered to track down the case of my assassination, has some important clues. After Wu Shangshu returned to the court, he might as well ask him. ”

"Good, good!" Wu Chengsi promised again and again, and cold sweat came down. I would rather believe in the spy than believe in it, and I must find it out when I look back! Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Xue Shao doesn't need to lie to me, after all, he is now treating the Turks as his biggest enemy, and there is no reason to be an enemy of me, Hebei Qincha. In vain, I have always regarded Li Xiantong as a confidant and think tank, and obeyed his words. The fall of Yunzhou is only the first step, according to the idea he gave me, if I really lose thousands of miles of land in Hebei, wouldn't I be dead? It's dangerous! It's so dangerous! …… Weighing the pros and cons, I might as well believe Xue Shao once now. I don't know how to fight, I want to drive out the Turks and recover Yunzhou to clear my name, after all, it has to fall on him!

"Wu Shangshu, Xue's words are all here." Xue Shao said, "What is the truth of the facts, only you can verify it yourself." It is imperative that we can no longer fight against the Turks, and that the protection of the territory and the people is the first priority. If the war goes wrong and Hebei suffers, we will all be unable to escape the responsibility and even lose our lives. This point, presumably Wu Shangshu knows it in his heart! ”

"Yes, you're right!" For the first time in his life, Wu Chengsi showed a smile to Xue Shao, and said with a pleasant face, "Xue Yuma wants as much grain and grass as many soldiers and horses, just ask!" In any case, we must expel the Turks to protect Hebei! In this way, after the official returns to the court, he can explain to the Queen Mother and her old man! ――As for the fall of Yunzhou, it was all thanks to Li Xiantong, the spy of the enemy country! I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly! Be sure to investigate thoroughly! ”

Xue Rengui suddenly frowned, the corners of his mouth rose, his face showed disdain, and he said in his heart that villains also have the benefits of villains, as long as they take advantage of the situation and intimidate, they will see the wind and rudder immediately!

"Grain, grass, soldiers and horses, naturally the more the merrier." Xue Shao also said with a smile, "There are still 200,000 Turkic main forces in Yunzhou, and there may be follow-up reinforcements. The army under the command of the old general and I was only 50,000 horses, and the food, grass and medical supplies were even more stretched - this battle was difficult to fight! ”

"Li Changshi? What about Li Changshi? - Someone, call Li Xiaoyi quickly! Wu Chenghe's enthusiasm for fighting was even higher than Xue Shao's, and he hurriedly said, "The soldiers, horses, money, and food will be allocated to General Xue's army as much as possible." Xue Yuma, General Xue, the first battle of Hebei...... It completely depends on the two talents! ”

After that, Wu Chengsi also respectfully bowed to Xue Shao and Xue Rengui.

Xue Shao and Xue Rengui each returned a salute, and immediately left after a little politeness.

Xue Rengui was silent along the way, and when he was about to arrive at the barracks, he suddenly said: "Xue Yuma, if you weren't here today, the consequences would be unimaginable. Hugh said that if he got the extra money and food for the soldiers, horses, and horses, I am afraid that the old man's white head will be difficult to preserve. Xue Juma is not only able to fight habitually, but also has such a strange talent, which really amazes the old man! ”

"Old general, I just figured out Wu Chenghei's psychology of coveting military merits and being afraid of taking responsibility, and I just used a small skill of carving insects, and I couldn't get on the stage at all." Xue Shao said with a smile, "I fought too much with this kind of villain when I was in the capital, and before I knew it, Xue learned some carving insect skills that used the way of others to treat his body." Shame, shame! ”

Xue Rengui smiled slightly wryly, "If the old man could learn a thing or two of these carving insect skills when he was young, why is this the case today?" ”

Xue Shao just smiled, and said in his heart that Xue Rengui was upright, strong, jealous and hateful, and he was framed for carrying the black pot all his life, and even made a name for himself in history, but he was degraded for more than ten years. No wonder his current complaint about the "carving insect skills" is so full of grief and helplessness!

Wu Chengsi slapped the board, and Li Xiaoyi was much more efficient in handling things. That night, a large amount of grain, grass, baggage, and 50,000 new troops were all handed over to Xue Rengui's hands.

After the war in Hebei was launched, Wu Chengsi brought nearly 10,000 horses from the capital, and gathered the government soldiers of various prefectures and prefectures in Hebei in Bingzhou, and at the same time issued an edict to recruit a group of new troops, with a total of 70,000 or 80,000 people. At present, Wu Chenghei was more eager than Xue Shao and Xue Rengui to recover Yunzhou and defeat the Turks, so he allocated 50,000 horses to Xue Rengui in one go.

In this regard, Xue Rengui was neither crying nor laughing, he could only look up to the sky and sigh...... The carving insect skill can be so magical!

The next day, Xue Rengui drove the army straight to Daizhou, and Xue Shao walked all the way.

There is one thing that Xue Shao still can't rest assured, that is, the medicinal materials he found for Xue Chuyu have not been gathered. But the war in Hebei was urgent, and he had to go to Daizhou with Xue Rengui. So before leaving, Xue Shao left ten powerful subordinates in Taiyuan, and ordered him to supervise this matter with all his might, and give the results as much as possible.

Along the way, Xue Shao was a little sullen because he was worried about Xue Chuyu.

When he stopped halfway, Xue Rengui took the initiative to ask, "The young marshal seems to be worried, I don't know what to worry about?" ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "It's not a secret, I'm worried about Chu Yu's injury." ”

"Humph!" Xue Rengui snorted coldly, "The dog is incapable of affecting the three armies, and he still works for the young marshal, the old man is really ashamed!" ”

"Ahem! ...... "Xue Shao doesn't know what to say, after all, Xue Rengui is Chu Yu's father, is it possible that he still has an argument with him?"

"Don't worry, the young marshal, the dog's disease doesn't need any medicine stones, the old man can cure it!" Xue Rengui patted his knee and said categorically, "Actually, the old man has already sent his retainers to Shuozhou to move the dog to Daizhou to rest his illness." When my army arrives in Daizhou, see the old man's medicine to get rid of the disease! ”

"Oh?" Xue Shao couldn't help but be taken aback, "Old general, are you still proficient in medical skills?" ”

Xue Rengui smiled slightly, smiling mysteriously, "When the time comes, the young marshal will know at a glance!" ”
