Yang Jun suddenly heard that Yang Guang had sent someone to pass the book to him, and he didn't know what it was for, so he hurriedly ordered the sergeant to bring Zhang Xutuo into the conference hall for questioning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Yuan was surprised because Zhang Xutuo was originally a Qianniu sergeant under his command, and he was quite surprised to reunite with him in the Eastern Capital tonight, seeing Zhang Xutuo walking into the conference hall with a dusty face, Li Yuan stood up with a smile, brought Zhang Xutuo a glass of wine with his own hands, and asked cordially: "Chang'an farewell, it has been a few months now, do you still know the old man?" ”

Zhang Xutuo didn't expect to see Li Yuan in Yang Jun's office in the Eastern Capital, so he immediately clasped his fists and bowed, and saluted Li Yuan very respectfully: "Xiao Yuan listened to errands under the command of Tang Gong and taught more, how dare he dare to be commensurate with his old man?" ”

"Lord Wang, this person's name is Zhang Xutuo, he was originally born in Qianniuwei, and he once followed the King of Jin to investigate the case of Shiwu Courtyard, and he was brave and loyal. Before the king of Jin went out of the town and merged with the state, he specially recruited him to join the hussar battalion and brought him to serve in front of the state army......" Li Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to help Zhang Xutuo, turned his head and introduced to Yang Jun.

Yang Junsu and Yang Guang were not on good terms, and he had no intention of listening to Li Yuan praising his subordinates in person, nodding his head in support of Li Yuan, and asking Zhang Xutuo straight to the point: "The King of Jin ordered you to come to the Eastern Capital, I don't know what happened?" Where is the letter of King Jin? ”

Zhang Xutuo hugged his fist at Li Yuan, and then bowed to Yang Jun and replied: "Back to the prince's words, my prince's order to meet the prince is to lead the army to the outside of the border to ask the prince for help. ”

Yang Jun suddenly heard Zhang Xutuo say that Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, led the army to be trapped outside the pass, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, his hands were on the case, and he leaned forward and asked Zhang Xutuo: "How many men and horses did the sixth uncle lead out of the customs this time?" The main Turkic force is in the northwest, how can there be so many troops outside Yanmen Pass to besiege the Sixth Uncle's department? ”

Zhang Xutuo held Yang Guang's handwritten letter in both hands, and replied cautiously: "The reasons for this matter are all in this letter, please take a look at it." ”

Li Yuan was also surprised when he listened, because it was related to military affairs, he didn't want to ask more, so he turned around and sat down, quietly observing the change in Yang Jun's expression.

Yang Junzai carefully read the letter for help written by Yang Guang no less than three times, before putting the letter in his hand on the few cases in front of him, raised his head and asked Zhang Xutuo: "Under the command of the King of Jin, how many soldiers and horses are there now, can we mobilize out of the customs to rescue the sixth uncle to break through?" ”

"Less than thirty thousand. Before the small departure, my prince had ordered Li Che, the prince of Qi'an, to lead 10,000 horses out of the pass to receive the withdrawal of King Wei, but he was forced to join most of the soldiers and horses in the state to go out with King Wei to go on the Northern Expedition, and the remaining troops in the states of Bingzhou and Hebei Province were not enough to go out of the pass to receive the army of King Wei, so my prince ordered the small one to rush to the prince for help. ”

"Well, the sixth uncle is in trouble, I will definitely send troops to rescue him, and then ......" Yang Jun said as he glanced at Li Yuan who was sitting on the side, and ordered Zhang Xutuo without saying anything, "You stand down, eat first, rest a little, and this king will have a letter to you later." ”

After Zhang Xutuo retreated from the council hall as ordered, Yang Juncai showed Yang Guang's letter of request for help to Li Yuan, and said with embarrassment: "The sixth uncle is in trouble, and it stands to reason that I should immediately send troops north to solve the difficulty, but Ah Zong acted like this, which was not immune to the inconsistencies of the imperial court order. ”

Li Yuan read Yang Guang's letter for help in its entirety, his eyes flashed, and he got up and clenched his fists and asked Yang Jun for an order: "Although the last general is not talented, I would like to ask the prince to issue a general order to allow me to lead the army north and rush to Bingzhou for reinforcements." ”

"It is a good thing for my cousin to lead the army north to relieve the sixth uncle's predicament." Yang Jun had his own calculations in his heart, and his eyes flickered, "It's just that my cousin's current rank has not been decided, how can I allow you to lead the army to the battle?" ”

Li Yuan heard what Yang Jun said, so he asked earnestly: "But I don't know what I want to do, so that the prince is willing to allow me to lead the army north?" ”

Yang Jun smiled and didn't answer, only shook his head, sighed, and pretended to be sorry and said: "It's a pity, although Qinghe Gong has the same identity as his cousin, he doesn't serve in Henan Daoxingtai, but he can't afford to lead the army now." Otherwise, I wouldn't have to do it. ”

Li Yuan heard Yang Jun suddenly mention Yang Su for no reason, and heard him say that Yang Su and himself seemed to be not serving in Henan Daoxingtai, his heart moved, he bowed his head and thought for a moment, and then asked Yang Jun angrily: "Since the prince agreed to send troops to the north to aid and annex the state, do you think this is good: I will temporarily borrow a soldier and horse from the prince, and lead the army north at dawn tomorrow to relieve the difficulty of defending the king." What if the emperor blames me in the future? ”

"Where did my cousin come from?" Yang Jun smiled and waved his hand at Li Yuan, and retorted, "This king's sixth uncle is in trouble, how can he make his cousin responsible?" But my cousin said this, it's better to do this: I first borrowed 30,000 soldiers and horses to be led by my cousin, and rushed to Bingzhou to relieve the siege, and at the same time, my cousin and I submitted a chapter to my father at the same time, asking my father to transfer my cousin to Henan Daoxingtai to serve, what do you think? ”

Li Yuan was anxious to go into battle to make contributions, and he didn't care about thinking about Yang Jun's move, what was the calculation in his heart, so he nodded and agreed to the matter immediately, and in front of Yang Jun in the conference hall, he picked up the pen in his hand, brushed a little bit, and wrote a note of borrowing soldiers and a chapter of the tune, handed it to Yang Jun, and said goodbye: "If you want to lead the army to the north tomorrow, you won't bother the prince tonight, and Li Yuan will leave." ”

Zhang Xutuo was in the duty room of the Henan Dao Xingtai Administration, looking forward to it for a whole night, and finally looked forward to the news that Li Yuan was going to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to Bingzhou to reinforce the news, he got this news, which can be said to be an unexpected joy, and immediately asked people about the location of the assembly of the army, and couldn't wait to run to the school field in the north of the eastern capital to find Li Yuan.

Li Yuan had Yang Jun lend him 30,000 soldiers and horses, so that when the fifth watch was still bright the next day, he personally rushed to the north of the city to gather 30,000 elite soldiers, and prepared to go north from the eastern capital to reinforce and merge the state.

By the time Zhang Xutuo rushed to the school to find Li Yuan, the vanguard troops under Li Yuan's command had already begun to set off from the school field one after another and marched towards the north gate of the eastern capital.

Li Yuan rode on a horse, and saw Zhang Xutuo running into the school field against the flow of people, and hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to summon him to his front, and ordered him to set off and act with him, and then began to ask him in detail about the current situation in Bingzhou and outside the Guan.

When Li Yuan listened to Zhang Xutuo's complete description of the various measures taken by Yang Guangwei to deal with the crisis situation of Yang Shuang's army trapped outside the Guan, he couldn't help but blurt out and praise: "Ah Zong went out of the town and merged with the state, and it was only a few months before and after, and when he encountered a major event, he could think of such a thoughtful response, which is really impressive." But I don't know if what you just said was all out of Ah Zong's conspiracy, or was it the result of joint discussions with the Hebei Provincial Xingtai Civil and Military Forces? ”

"Tang Gong didn't know anything, he sent someone out of the customs to lobby Luo Yu, and the little one came to the eastern capital to ask for help from the King of Qin, these ideas were originally from An Ruoxi, a girl next to the King of Jin." Zhang Xutuo heard Li Yuan's praise for Yang Guang, and replied with a smile.

"An Ruoxi? When will she return to King Jin......" Li Yuan raised his eyes to stare at the north and muttered.
