"It's so boring!" Li Jin was lying on a slope, staring at the white clouds floating in the sky, and lamenting with a dog's tail in his mouth, his current life was completely different from the life he imagined, and even made him have the idea of wanting to return to Chang'an.

Li Jin has never been a person who keeps to himself, he has been energetic since he was a child, likes excitement and adventure, which is different from his father Li Xiu, he should have inherited the bloodline of Princess Pingyang, of course, he is not like Princess Pingyang, but he is very similar to Li Shimin, and he responded to the folk saying that nephews are like uncles, and even Li Shimin himself said that Li Jin is exactly the same as when he was young.

For Li Jin, who likes excitement and adventure, there is no place that makes him feel more satisfied than the battlefield, so after graduating from the military academy, he tried his best to persuade his parents to come to the Mobei grassland.

Originally, he thought that he could show his strength when he came here, in fact, he was indeed arranged to be a lieutenant under Li Daozong, and he was also stationed in Xue Yantuo's hometown in Mobei, where it had just been fought, although the war had subsided on the surface, but because this land involved the interests of all parties, the private struggle never stopped, such as Hui Hui tried his best to control this land.

The situation in Mobei also made Li Jin very excited, in the first period of time, he led a cavalry under his command to clear the remnants of Xue Yantuo who dared to resist, although the blood and fire on the battlefield were cruel, but he liked it very much, and even felt that he was born for this kind of life, and after the tempering of actual combat, he also quickly matured.

It's just that later Li Jin still caused a big disaster, because of the conflict with the Hui people, although he united a group of brothers in the army to kill the Hui people, but the court also needs to maintain a kind of harmonious relationship with the Hui people, so he was transferred back to the west of the city of Mo Nan from Mobei, and now he is idle and has nothing to do, so he came to his eldest brother Ping An Lang, but Ping An Lang has to deal with the government affairs of Yunzhou every day, and he doesn't have much time to accompany him, which makes Li Jin feel bored.

"I don't know what Mingkong is doing, the last time I wrote a letter saying that I missed me, and her mother mentioned the marriage again, and my mother also mentioned our marriage in the last letter, I'm afraid this matter can't be delayed any longer, can it really be that I can only go back to Chang'an so gloomy?" Li Jin suddenly thought of his fiancée Wu Mingkong at this time, and couldn't help but muttered to himself again at the moment.

Speaking of which, Li Jin is not young, but he doesn't want to get married so early, mainly because he is worried that Wu Mingkong is so powerful, he will definitely manage him to death after marriage, and then he will not be as free as he is now, but this matter can't be dragged on forever, it seems that he still has to find a time to get married.

"Huh~" But at this moment, suddenly Li Jin turned over and sat up, then took the quiver from the horse next to him and put it on the ground, and then he leaned on the quiver and listened for a while, then sat up straight and looked at his right front, if he heard correctly, there should be a cavalry coming a few miles away from the right front, this is also the method he learned from the battlefield, and even an experienced veteran can judge the number of the other party from the sound.

But soon Li Jin lay down a little deflated, because he thought that he was now in Yunzhou, which belonged to Monan, and now the imperial court had completely mastered this place, and there were also state counties, surrounded by the garrisons of the Tang Dynasty, so even if there were cavalry, it could only be the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't need to be as alert as Mobei.

After a while, there was indeed a cavalry galloping in front of Li Jin's right, the leader was wearing iron armor, and behind him was a cavalry of more than 2,000 people, Li Jin didn't care much, after all, the army here in Monan is frequently transferred, and Yunzhou is close to the surrendered city, so naturally there are often troops passing by, but when he saw that there were more than 2,000 people in this cavalry, he couldn't help but sit up and look at it again.

Cavalry is the most important type of troops on the grassland, but cavalry is also the most expensive type of troops, the cost of a cavalry can be up to three foot soldiers, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty has always been known for its elite, except for launching a war like Xue Yantuo to destroy the country, a large number of cavalry teams are rarely used at other times, and it is Mo Nan here, and it is rare to see such a large-scale cavalry dispatched together.

Li Jin was lying on a hillside, and there were his own horses grazing next to him, so he was also very conspicuous, and this time the cavalry happened to be coming in the direction of Li Jin, so the generals led by him also saw him at a glance.

As a result, when Li Jin and the other party's eyes met, both of them were stunned, and then Li Jin jumped up and ran up enthusiastically and shouted, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?" ”

It was Pei Xingjian who led this cavalry, he married Li Jiancheng's daughter Wanniang, and Wanniang has been growing up with Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, Li Jin has always regarded this cousin as his own sister, when Wanniang got married, he still carried her downstairs, so he naturally knew Pei Xingjian, but he was also a little strange now, because as far as he knew, his brother-in-law had been serving under General Su Dingfang, and now he should be stationed in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, why did he suddenly come to Monan?

"Li Jin, why are you here, I heard that you have caused a lot of trouble in Mobei, could it be that you have been transferred to the rear and idle?" Pei Xingjian also recognized Li Jin immediately, and immediately jumped off his horse and laughed and said, the territory of the Hui is mainly in the Western Regions, so he usually often deals with the Hui people, so naturally he also heard about Li Jin.

"It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles, brother-in-law, how do you know about it?" Li Jin couldn't help but show a depressed expression when he heard Pei Xingjian's words, he has a wide range of contacts, especially his friends everywhere in the army, but every time he meets an acquaintance during this time, someone will ask him about what he did in Mobei, which makes him very helpless.

"Haha~, don't be afraid of people if you have the courage to do it, not to mention that what you do is also a good thing, after those Hui people have eaten this lesson, they are even much more honest in the Western Regions, even General Su is full of praise for you, if it weren't for the fear that my uncle would not want to, I'm afraid General Su would have asked the court to ask you to pass!" Pei Xingjian patted Li Jin on the shoulder and praised at the moment.

Li Jin was also happy when he heard that Su Dingfang wanted himself, after all, there were many small countries in the Western Regions, and the conflicts were continuous, and he had long wanted to go to the Western Regions to see it, but he quickly thought of his current situation, let alone going to the Western Regions, I am afraid that he would not even be able to get out of Mo Nan, which made him a little discouraged.

"By the way, brother-in-law, haven't you been stationed with General Su in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, why did you suddenly come to Monan?" At this time, Li Jin suddenly thought about the doubts in his heart just now, and asked immediately.

"Don't mention it, General Su and I were originally managing the Western Regions well, but seeing that the Western Turks were forced to be defeated one after another, the scope of control of the Anxi Protectorate was getting bigger and bigger, but just a few months ago, there was a problem in Liaodong." Pei Xingjian heard Li Jin ask about the reason why he appeared here, and he slapped his thigh angrily at the moment.

"Liaodong? Could it be that Silla and Baekje are fighting? Li Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard Pei Xingjian's words, and then remembered that his father had mentioned the situation in Liaodong before, which made him react immediately.

"Yes, Silla is also a wolf ambition, when Goguryeo was destroyed, only Silla and Baekje were left in Liaodong, and Baekje was weak, and it was likely to be destroyed by Silla, but fortunately, the imperial court felt that Baekje needed to contain Silla, so it reconciled with it, and also helped Baekje recover the land occupied by Silla......"

At the moment, Pei Xingjian briefly introduced the situation in Liaodong, and then talked about the war that broke out between Silla and Baekje a few months ago, the two countries only lived in peace for a few years under the mediation of the Tang Dynasty, but then because of the contradiction of interests, the two countries continued to dispute, and even a lot of conflicts broke out in private, but both sides were worried about the intervention of the Tang Dynasty, so they were relatively restrained at the beginning and did not dare to really break out into war.

However, just a few months ago, many Japanese pirates suddenly appeared near the coast of Silla, and these pirates burned, killed, looted, and were very cunning, and Silla failed to eliminate them after several encirclements and suppressions, which made the Silla people suspicious and suspected that Baekje was behind the support of these pirates.

Speaking of which, the suspicions of the Silla people are not groundless, because Baekje and the Wa Kingdom are only separated by a strait, and the two sides have long been in contact, and even the previous Baekje king deliberately made friends with the Wa Kingdom in order to jointly deal with Silla, and there are many Wa people in Baekje, so it is normal for the Silla people to suspect that the Baekje people support the Wa pirates.

Baekje naturally would not admit the accusations of the Silla people, and as a result, the two sides also broke out because of this incident, at first it was just a verbal battle, and in the end the quarrel finally broke out out of control, and this incident was equivalent to a fuse, and finally completely detonated the grievances between the two sides, so just a few months ago, the two sides mobilized large armies to start a big war on the border.

Baekje's strength was originally inferior to Silla's, even if the occupied land was returned after the mediation of the Tang Dynasty, but it only recuperated for a few years, and it was still inferior to the Silla people in terms of strength, so after a month of fighting between the two sides, Baekje's army was defeated, and now Silla's army has invaded Baekje's territory.

However, the Baekje people are also very tenacious, they have organized layers of defense lines in the territory, and now the two sides have also entered the most brutal siege warfare, and at the same time, Baekje also quickly asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, hoping to get the help of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin knew about this, and also felt that Baekje could not be destroyed by Silla, so he decided to send troops to intervene.

"The imperial court wanted to send a general who was familiar with Liaodong, and General Su was the most suitable, but now General Su was guarding the Western Regions, and he couldn't spare it at all, so he recommended me to the imperial court." In the end, Pei Xingjian spoke again, he borrowed Mo Nan this time, just to get to Liaodong as soon as possible.

After listening to Pei Xingjian's words, Li Jin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that Liaodong was not bad, and he might want to find an excuse to follow Pei Xingjian.
