On the second day of the Wang family's discussion, Wang Shichong summoned Xu Shiji in the Taishou Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the name of being the in-law of the Zheng family of Rongyang, he invited him to be the vanguard general, leading his Rongyang and Jianghuai disciples to reinforce Rongyang first, in order to help Xu Shiji's marching speed, he allocated a large part of his war horses, and he led another army to aid Luoyang, responsible for backup and logistics supply. Xu Shiji is young and vigorous, during this period of time, he has clashed with the generals of the Wang family many times, and he does not want to be with them, Wang Shichong said this, Xu Shiji immediately agreed, and after going back, he reorganized the soldiers and horses, and hurriedly went to Rongyang to rescue, Xu Shiji's father Xu Gai heard Xu Shiji's story, and knew in his heart that Wang Shichong must be afraid that Xu Shiji would rob him of his credit, so he was sent to Rongyang first, and Wang Shichong said that he was willing to provide logistical support, will this really be the case? Xu Gai's heart was full of doubts.

"My son, you must be more careful when you go this time!"

"Father, the child's resignation is the time to make contributions, and there is no need to be with those wine bags and rice bags, and it is exactly what the child wishes!"

"My son! You're still too young to know the doorways! You have clashed with the children of the Wang family many times, and the situation in Rongyang is critical, Li Mi is now a strong soldier, they are pushing you into the fire pit! Add to that the fact that they dominate the logistics and make you the vanguard general, I'm afraid 。。。。。。 ”

"Father, the child thinks that although Wang Shichong is a little unscrupulous, and his people are all perverts and lewd insects, but the safety of this society, and Lord Wang Shichong has allocated so many war horses, I don't think they will have any conspiracy! The child defeated Li Mi in Rongyang at the beginning, Rongyang is the blessed land of the child, and he will definitely be killed! Seeing Xu Shiji's confident appearance, Xu Gai's heart could only say to him: 'Child, it seems that you need some lessons.'

"Ji'er, be careful!"

Xu Gai's analysis is right, when Xu Shiji returned to his military camp, lit up his troops and horses, and rushed to aid Rongyang, Wang Shichong also led his army and a large number of baggage to Luoyang, and in the name of Xu Shiji's light cavalry, only allocated Xu Shiji grain and grass that could last for half a month, and said that once he gathered, he would immediately transport the front of the formation, Xu Gai used his connections and family property to help Xu Shiji gather another batch just in case. Xu Shiji didn't suspect that Wang Shichong had any secret moves, and led the troops away directly. Before leaving, he told his father that he must urge Wang Shichong to transport the remaining grain and grass to Rongyang as soon as possible. Xu Shiji led troops to reinforce Rongyang, all the way close, Li Mi ambushed around Rongyang are infantry, unable to resist Xu Shiji's cavalry offensive, Xu Shiji advanced all the way to Rongyang City, because Rongyang has been operated by Zheng's gate valve for many years, and has stored a lot of food and materials, Xu Shiji can barely maintain it when he first comes, but Xu Shiji knows that it will be unfavorable to him for a long time, so he quickly sent a letter to Xu Gai and asked him to urge Jiangdu to send food as soon as possible.

"What! You mean that the grain and grass are not ready, but as far as I know, there are now millions of stones in the grain and grass camp in Jiangnan, how can there be none? ”

"Master Xu, you only know one thing, you don't know the other! This million stone food is not only military food, but also civilian food, everything needs to be carefully calculated, and even military food cannot be delivered immediately! When Ling Lang left, all of them were cavalry, and they had to give priority to the supply of military and civilian supplies in Luoyang, and the general's military supplies also needed chariots and horses, and our horses were not enough, so you still have to wait! It was Wang Renze who spoke, and Wang Shichong left him in Jiangnan to be in charge of the supply of grain and grass.

"But Rongyang's emergency document 。。。。。。"

"Lord Xu! I know that your son and in-laws are in Rongyang, but you also know that even if we have enough carriages and horses, it is difficult to have enough soldiers and horses to escort them. After Wang Ren finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at the account books of grain and grass, and asked his officials from time to time:

"What's going on with this money and food, is there something wrong with the spending? And this 。。。。。。 Xu Gai saw that Wang Ren pretended to be diligent in his official duties, ignored him, and couldn't say anything when he was angry.

Rongyang City, Xu Shiji galloped all the way to Rongyang with light cavalry, did not encounter any attack from Li Mi on the road, and quickly entered Rongyang City, when he thought he had a plan, he also had some doubts in his heart, and after a while he found that Li Mi did not dare to confront him, but deliberately did not confront him, let go of an opening to let him enter the city, and after he entered the city, he closed the encirclement again, Xu Shiji clashed with the troops out of the city several times, and was shot back with a bow and arrow by Wang Bodang, a fierce general under Li Mi, several times, and the high ditch barrier, Xu Shiji's cavalry could not exert its might, and then, Xu Shiji found that the food reserves of Rongyang and his army were not enough, because the war horses had to be fed with refined grain in order to maintain combat effectiveness, which increased the loss of food.

"My lord, there is not much to eat in the city now, and there is Li Mi's army outside the city to besiege and block, we can't go out of the city to collect food, do you want to kill a few war horses to let the brothers satisfy their hunger, please hurry up and decide!"

"Bastard! Lao Tzu fell for Wang Shichong's old thief's tricks, no wonder he didn't let me bring more grain and grass at the beginning, so he quickly sent people to Jiangdu and Luoyang for help! Also, not a single horse is allowed to be killed, and those who violate the order will be killed! Also, if you can pull some food out of the horse's mouth, you can pick out some food! People are always more expensive than horses! Xu Shiji said helplessly.

"Yes!"

In Luoyang, there was a letter of Xu Shiji's request for help in front of Yang Guang's dragon case, and all the civil and military officials in Luoyang were immediately invited to discuss:

"Ladies and gentlemen, although Wang Aiqing led tens of thousands of troops to come to Luoyang a few days ago, and Rongyang also stationed Xu Shiji's reinforcements, but Rongyang's crisis has not been resolved, and Li Mi is still hurrying to attack the city, do you have any good plans?" Pei Yun and Xu Gai are both Jiangnan people, and Xu Gai has always been secretly in contact with him for filial piety, so he immediately went out to play:

"Your Majesty, Rongyang is an obstacle and barrier between our army and Li Mi, if Rongyang is lost, then we will directly face Li Mi's attack, although there are now more than 100,000 guards in Luoyang, but if Rongyang is lost, then Li Rei's morale will inevitably be even higher, and then Luoyang and Guanzhong will be in danger." Yang Guang nodded in agreement after hearing this. He looked up at Wang Shichong:

"General Wang, then Xu Shiji is your lieutenant, and you will be responsible for this rescue and food delivery!" Wang Shichong originally wanted to kill Xu Shiji by borrowing Li Mi's hand to kill people with a knife, how could he still save him. Immediately played:

"Your Majesty, it's not that your subordinates shirk it, it's just that your subordinates allocated most of the war horses to General Xu Shiji in order to save the siege of Rongyang, and now the minister's subordinates are all infantry, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, I'm afraid that not only will they not be able to solve the siege of Rongyang, but they will also weaken the strength of Luoyang's defense。。。。。。。"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Wendu, the secretary of Taifu, and Lu Chu, the doctor of Guanglu. After Wang Shichong came to Luoyang, he used the property collected in Jiangdu to aggressively entrap the officials in Luoyang, especially Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu. The two of them naturally knew what Wang Shichong meant, and Yuan Wendu immediately went out to play:

"Your Majesty, now the army in Liaodong has not returned, and there is Dou Jiande in Hebei to rebel and make trouble, General Xue Shixiong was dragged by it, Luoyang is now in addition to General Yuwen and General Wang There are no important generals in charge, defense must not be taken lightly, Lord Wang has a heavy responsibility, if you go to rescue Rongyang, once Dou Jiande's rebels and Li Mi join forces to approach Luoyang from Hebei, I am afraid that General Yuwen will be difficult to support independently, it is better to assign a general to go to the rescue." Yang Guang also made sense after hearing it.

"Aiqing is reasonable, so what is the right candidate?" Yuan Wendu hadn't thought of this yet, and was suddenly asked by Yang Guang, and Lu Chu hurriedly relieved him on the side:

"Your Majesty, please order the whole city to offer a reward to recruit the generals who rescue Rongyang, and the minister believes that there will be brave men under the heavy reward!" Yang Guang issued an order according to Lu Chu's suggestion, and posted reward notices at various city gates in Luoyang, looking for generals who could rescue Rongyang. Li Jiancheng saw the recruitment of the emperor list, and thought to himself, "It would be good if Yuanba was here, with his brave martial arts, why worry about the siege of Rongyang." As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud noise and reprimands in front of him.

"Humph! It's a reward again, last time our brothers rescued the driver in Yanmen, the emperor said that as long as he arrived in Luoyang, he would distribute gold, silver, wine and food to reward the three armies, who knew that there was no fart, this time who was willing to send him to death, anyway, Lao Tzu would not go. ”

"Bastard! Bold and presumptuous, he dared to insult the emperor, saying that the emperor was not trustworthy, and he was coming! Take down this deceitful maniac for me. ”

"You are still unreasonable, is Lao Tzu wrong?" Li Jiancheng walked along the scolding, only to see a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist tied up by dozens of royal forest soldiers, and he was slapped and punched as he walked.

"Bold fanatics, you are still stubborn when you die, and you will cut off your head after the general plays the emperor."

"Humph! I, Hou Junji, am used to dying on the battlefield, killing more than 10 million people, I have long seen through life and death, are you still afraid of cutting off your head, and after 20 years, I will be a good man again! "When Li Jiancheng heard Hou Junji's name, he jumped up with joy. I really slept so sleepy that I had a pillow, and it was the third Tang God of War behind Li Jing and Xu Shiji during the Tang Dynasty! Some of these battles were fought. ’

Attached: Hou Junji was one of the fierce generals under Li Shimin, who helped Li Shimin launch the Xuanwumen Mutiny, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he followed Li Jing to crusade against the Turks and made great contributions in the war, and in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, he overcame the harsh natural conditions and led the troops to recover Gaochang in the Western Regions alone. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the states of the Western Regions resubmitted to Li Shimin, and was known as the third god of war in the Tang Dynasty in the old and new Tang books.
