Li Jiancheng stepped forward to stop the Imperial Forest Army escorting Hou Junji, the leading Imperial Forest Army knew him, and now Li Jiancheng is the idol of the young and middle-aged officers in the Great Sui Army!

"Oh! It's Lord Lee! ”

"May I ask what is the name of this strong man? What crime was committed? Why do you tie him up? ”

"Hey! This kid's name is Hou Junji, he is a small army leader of the eighth grade, he is brave, he usually likes to cause trouble, he has just sent out the emperor's list, and he wants to offer a reward to recruit the general who rescued Rongyang, this kid will spit out wild words, saying that the emperor is not trustworthy, every time he just talks about it, there will be no reward at that time, so the last general is about to press the criminal department to ask for the crime! Li Jiancheng stopped them. He took out a piece of silver about ten taels from his body.

"This brother, do me a little favor, everyone eats the meal of life on the battlefield, don't be too embarrassed for him, I am about to see the emperor, maybe this person is still of some use to me, this bit of silver should be used to buy wine and drink for the brothers." The smile on the face of the leading Guards was even more victorious when they saw the silver.

"Then thank you, Lord Li. I won't delay Master Li to see the emperor. Li Jiancheng came to Yang Guang's dormitory, and was about to ask the eunuch to report inside, when he heard the voice of Yuwen Chengdu inside.

"Your Majesty, the minister invited himself to fight, and if he didn't behead Li Shun, the minister would cut off the head himself."

"Yuwen Aiqing, you have lost your ambition to serve the country, I am very relieved! But on the battlefield, the timing changes rapidly, you are always by my side, and you have no experience in commanding troops, so you should stay by my side! ”

"The Emperor's 。。。。。" Li Jiancheng heard Yang Guang's evaluation of Yuwen Chengdu, and couldn't help but praise Yang Guang in his heart. 'Yang Guang, although the evaluation of you in history is negative, you can really be said to be good at knowing people in terms of employing people! Although Yuwen Chengdu is strong in martial arts, he has always been used by you as a bodyguard by his side. If this kind of person really goes to the battlefield, then he is definitely a brave and unscrupulous person, and it is not a fun thing to go to the battlefield, not only to rely on martial arts, but also to have resourcefulness. As the saying goes, a general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and once he is hit, he may be able to escape for himself by force, but those soldiers will lose their lives because of his incompetence. When he had finished thinking about it, he said to the eunuch at the door,

"Please report it inside! Li Jiancheng asks to see! After getting Yang Guang's permission, Li Jiancheng came to Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty! The minister asked to lead a detachment to rescue Rongyang. ”

"Li Aiqing, you should know that now Rongyang is in danger, and the reinforcements from Hebei, Guanzhong, and Liaodong have not yet arrived, and our troops are not enough! Also, if the crisis in Rongyang is not resolved this time, then the situation in Luoyang will be 。。。。。。 Yang Guang said this, and deliberately paused. Li Jiancheng knew that this was a deliberate temptation of him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order!"

"Li Aiqing, this military order is irretrievable, you can think twice before acting!"

"Your Majesty, the gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase! Please take the Four Treasures of the Study! ”

"Okay, come on, take the four treasures of the study!" The eunuch who was waiting for Yang Guang brought pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, and Li Jiancheng wrote down the military order and dedicated his hands to Yang Guang. After Yang Guang looked at it, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a few requests, I hope the emperor will grant permission!"

"Aiqing, please speak!"

"First, the minister wants to choose his own soldiers! No matter who the minister picks, he will ask the emperor for forgiveness for any crime he committed! Yang Guang nodded after hearing this:

"Hmmm! Now is the time to employ people, as long as it is not a rebellion and murder, any sin can be forgiven! But the number of troops cannot be excessive, not more than 5,000 people. You must know that Luoyang's troops are also very empty now. ”

"Yes, the minister understands, secondly, there must be sufficient armaments, food, grass and equipment, and no one can stop them under any pretext." Yang Guang also nodded after hearing this.

"Thirdly, the minister has the power to arbitrarily determine the wit, and when the fighter is mature, he can mobilize all his troops and horses. Including the defenders of Luoyang, please ask the emperor to give the minister a thing, and whoever violates the minister's military order will have the right to behead him. ”

"Li Jiancheng, you have to know that if you mobilize the defenders of Luoyang, it won't make the guards of Luoyang even more empty, and it won't put me to death!" Yang Guang was a little furious. Li Jiancheng hurriedly explained to Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, when the ministers mobilize the defenders of Luoyang, it must be the time when Li Mi is defeated and the time when the results of the battle are expanded。。。。。。"

"Not allowed! I am absolutely not allowed to do so. Seeing that Yang Guang was so angry, Li Jiancheng couldn't insist anymore. After putting forward the request, Li Jiancheng thought that Yang Guang would ask for his personal jade pendant, and went to the Criminal Department to release Hou Junji. And told him that with this jade pendant, he could come to him anytime and anywhere.

"Brother Jiancheng, thank you."

"Brother Junji, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it, the younger brother has something I want to ask my brother to help!"

"Brother Jian, please speak."

"I see that Brother Hou is extremely brave, now that Rongyang is in danger, Li is in danger, I already want to ask for my life, I will lead the troops to the rescue, and I want to ask Brother Hou to help me." After listening to this, Hou Junji's face was a little gloomy. But it quickly disappeared.

"Build Brothers! Originally, I didn't want to serve the imperial court anymore, but Brother Jiancheng saved my life, I can't ignore the kindness and not repay it, in this way, count me as one, and there are a group of brothers in my army, all of whom are skilled in riding and shooting, and strong in martial arts, I believe that Brother Jiancheng will be able to use it. ”

"Great. Brother Junji quickly found them, I think they will be able to help me a lot. With that, both of them burst out laughing. Hou Junji did what he said, and in the evening, Hou Junji brought about 3,000 people to Li Jiancheng's residence, Li Jiancheng saw that they were all big men, and their bodies exuded a murderous aura, which only those who had killed many times on the battlefield would have such a murderous aura.

"Good! Brother Hou is really a kind and kind person, these people are veterans of the battlefield at a glance, and they will live for the rest of their lives, thank you so much. ”

"Hey! Brother Jiancheng is so polite, it's really tiring to talk to you children of the family! Talking is always Wen Zou Zou, my old marquis is a rough man, as long as the brother is satisfied. Li Jiancheng welcomed Hou Junji and a few leaders into the house, and the others were taken by his subordinates to a nearby restaurant to settle down. In the evening, a banquet was held to entertain Hou Jun and a group of them.

In the evening, Princess Jinyang came to Yang Guang's bedroom, Yang Guang was about to rest with Queen Xiao, Zhang Yin's second concubine was left in Jinyang Palace by Yang Guang due to her poor performance in Yanmen, and due to frequent wars, she had not yet chosen a new beauty to sleep, so only Queen Xiao accompanied Yang Guang, Queen Xiao saw Jinyang's panicked appearance, her head was full of sweat, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of Princess Jinyang:

"Jinyang, what's the matter with you, you are in such a hurry to see your father! What's the matter? ”

"Father! I heard that you asked Li Jiancheng to go out of the city to save Rongyang, don't you know that Rongyang's current situation is dangerous, and the person who goes is likely to die? ”

"Jinyang, how did you talk to your father, pay attention to your attitude! Also, what is the relationship between Li Jiancheng and you? Are you doing so hard about him? ”

"Father, me?" Princess Jinyang was robbed by Yang Guang for a few words, showing that she didn't know how to answer, and Queen Xiao was afraid that their father and daughter would have a greater estrangement because of this kind of thing.

"Jinyang! Your father is tired, so send you back to the palace! Princess Jinyang wanted to say something, but seeing Queen Xiao's stern eyes, Princess Jinyang didn't say anything. After saluting Yang Guang, with Empress Xiao returning to her bedroom, after Empress Xiao returned, Yang Guang asked her:

"How is Jinyang's mood? Still crying? ”

"Hey! The daughter doesn't know why? A heart has always been in Li Jiancheng's body, no matter how much I persuade him, it is useless? ”

"Li Jiancheng is indeed a rare talent, but the more talented he is, the matter of Tao Li Zhang has always been in my heart, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be a big trouble for my Yang family in the future. By the way, what do you think of Yuwen Chengdu? ”

"The martial arts are strong, and the appearance is quite good! Could it be that the emperor 。。。。。。。。 ”

"Not bad! I think that Jinyang is also old enough to find a colt, I think。。。。。。 ”

"Your Majesty! By all means, now the Yuwen family and the emperor are close enough, but since ancient times, marriage with the royal family is the first means to produce ministers, Nanyang has already married, if Jinyang remarries, the royal favor will accumulate in one family, I am afraid that it will not be good for the emperor to control the ministers in the future! Also, Nanyang is married to Yuwen Chengdu's uncle, so why should Jinyang call his sister his aunt, so that it will mess up the generation. Yang Guang thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.

"What Zitong said is reasonable, this matter is for me to show that I am hot-headed and ill-thinking, so let's discuss this matter later! When we return to Chang'an, we will choose a suitable husband for Jinyang. "After Yang Guang fell asleep, Empress Xiao thought to herself. Jinyang, since ancient times, it is rare for royal princesses to marry what they like, and their mothers can only delay it like this. Of course, if Li Jiancheng is really the counterpart of Tao Li Zhang in the future, then I can only hope that you will save the flesh and blood of the Yang family. ’
