"Lord Gao, you have a letter to me! Also, here are several letters from adults! After listening to Yuan Xiaozheng's words, the faces of the officials present changed greatly, and Yuan Xiaozheng took out a large number of letters from his arms:

"Everyone, you are outcast, His Majesty the Emperor is very concerned, when he is about to leave Chang'an, His Majesty the Emperor personally advises, you are all good men in my Central Plains, come back!" As he spoke, Yuan Hyo-jeong handed out letters to the many officials present. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Gao, this is your family letter, take a look!" Gao Manzheng opened his family letter, which had a tuft of gray hair and an earring, and two words engraved on the front and back - the front was engraved with the word Zheng, and the back was engraved with the word Zhi. Gao Manzheng recognized that this was his mother's only jewelry, and the political word represented himself, and the word governance represented Gao Manzhi. Mother-in-law often said:

"This earring is our baby, you look at this political word, as well as this word, my mother brought this earring on her body, just like your two sons are by your mother's side!" Gao Manzheng looked at the earring, and then opened the letter and looked:

"Brother Manzheng, since my brother rebelled from Liu Wuzhou, the younger brother and his mother were implicated and punished for confiscating into the palace, the mother washed in the palace, and the younger brother did hard labor in the palace, and now, Li Tang Xindi ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, everything is fine with my mother, but my mother always misses my eldest brother, and now I have cried blindly, eldest brother, my mother is already very old, and her body is not as good as one day, big brother, you come back quickly! The two of us brothers worked together to do our filial piety for our mothers and send them to the end! Gao Manzheng looked at his family letter, his eyes were full of tears, he stood up, took out his seal letter from his body, and knelt down to Yuan Junzhang:

"Yuan Xiangguo, I am willing to advance and retreat together with Xiangguo!" The officials present to resist saw Gao Manzheng's reaction, and they all gave up resisting, and all took out their seals and knelt in front of Yuan Junzhang:

"Yuan Xiangguo, I am willing to advance and retreat together with Xiangguo!" Yuan Junzhang smiled:

"Good! It's really good, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, plus, we were originally people from the Central Plains, and now we open the south gate of Heng'an City to welcome the Tang Army into the city, which is also what we should do! Someone! Open the city gate, light red smoke at the south gate, and welcome the Tang army into the city! ”

"Bang Bang!" The city of Hengan was filled with the sound of firecrackers, and there were crowds of people welcoming Li Tang's army everywhere. Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng led all the civil and military officials of Heng'an City to wait for Li Jing in their own Xiangguo Mansion, when Li Jing took Li Ji, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji, Xie Yingdeng, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Kuoling, Xue Rengui, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin, Su Dingfang, Wang Xiongdan and other generals came to Yuan Junzhang's mansion, Yuan Junzhang held a map and seal symbolizing Heng'an City and knelt in front of the door with all the officials:

"Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng led the civil and military officials of Heng'an to surrender to General Li Jing, please accept General Li Jing!" Li Jing got off his horse, helped Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng up, and ordered his soldiers to take over the map and seal letter symbolizing Heng'an City:

"Lord Yuan Junzhang, Lord Gao Manzheng, you are really polite, when Your Majesty left Chang'an, he repeatedly told him, saying that Lord Yuan was in Monan, and he repeatedly helped the Han people who were outcast, and Lord Gao is also a person who understands righteousness, I believe that after the two adults return to Chang'an, Your Majesty will definitely have a great reward."

"Thank you, Dashuai!"

"Enlightened handsome! Now that the Heng'an defense line has been opened, and there is no danger to defend in the Dingxiang area, the marshal should quickly lead the troops, take Dingxiang directly, and exterminate the small court of the former Sui Dynasty, so as to prevent Ashina from using Yang Zhengdao to make a comeback again! ”

"Yes! Handsome! Li Jing smiled and said in his heart - hum! So soon to think about pleasing the new master. Li Jing quietly replied to Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng:

"General Yuan, General Gao! Don't worry! There is no urgency in this matter! Li Jing smiled, Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng were a little confused. In Dingxiang City, Monan, Yang Zhengdao was resting in the harem, looking at the empty Sui Palace (Jieli Khan took away the attendants and furnishings in the Sui Palace), thinking that he had been called by Ashina like a slave these days, Yang Zhengdao's heart ached slightly-I, Yang Zhengdao, was once a dignified nobleman of the Great Sui and a descendant of the Heavenly Khan. But he didn't want to, he was first usurped the throne by Li Tang's group of rebellious thieves (because Li Yuan swept away the heroes and established the Li Tang Dynasty, he was the actual victor, so Yang Zhengdao's resentment towards Li Yuan was deeper, but Yang Zhengdao didn't think about Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Xiao Miao, Fu Gongtuo, Du Fuwei, Liu Wuzhou and others, because Li Yuan was the final victor), but the emperor's grandfather didn't understand the true meaning of Tao Li Zhang, so he only killed Li Hun and let Li Yuan go, if Li Yuan was killed, then how could this Great Sui world die. Hum! Just when Yang Zhengdao was full of hatred, Yang Zhengdao's confidant Luo Chang ran in in a panic:

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something is wrong! Your Highness! ”

"What's going on!? It's like burning your ass! ”

"Your Highness! Oh no! Weichen has just received a report from Tanma, and Heng'an has fallen! The Tang army has been successfully stationed in Heng'an. ”

"What? That Heng'an is well defended, not to mention that there is also a joint guard of Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng, could it be broken like this? What about Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng? How are they, are they martyred!? Luo Chang was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and continued to explain to Yang Zhengdao:

"Your Highness! It was Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng who opened the gate of Heng'an City together and let the Tang army enter the city. ”

"Impossible! Impossible! I'm so good to Yuan Junzhang! not only named him Xiangguo, but also recruited Yuan Junzhang's son Yuan Xiaozheng as a concubine, and Yuan Junzhang's son Yuan Xiaozheng has not been killed by Li Jiancheng? Why would Yuan Junzhang ignore the revenge of killing his son and surrender to Li Tang? Also, King Gao Manzheng treats him well! Why does Gao Manzheng also want to oppose this king!? Envoy Luo looked at Yang Zhengdao and said in his heart-Hey! Why do you want to do this now? Let's go! Do you have to count the money for others when you are sold? Luo Chang anxiously urged Yang Zhengdao:

"Your Highness, run now! Why do you want so much? At the urging of Luo Chang's envoy, Yang Zhengdao mounted his horse and ran towards the Jieli Khan in the north. The Tang army led by Li Jing came to Dingxiang City and looked at the devastated Dingxiang City.

"General Yuan, General Gao! Why is this Dingxiang City so quiet and desolate? It's like a ghost town! ”

"Marshal Qiqi, since the Turks tore off their masks and wantonly slaughtered our Han people, the Han people in the Dingxiang area were either reduced to slavery or fled. In addition, Ashina led the troops to the west, and he desperately looted the people in the area of Dingxiang City, so that all the industries of the merchants fell into Ashina's pocket! When you go, take everything you can take away from the entire Dingxiang City! That's why the whole Dingxiang City looks like a ghost town! Li Jing nodded.

"Generals! The whole army was encamped outside the city, and no one was allowed to enter the dwellings. After setting up camp, Li Jing secretly found Li Ji to discuss:

"The world's best love for Qing! Do you remember the secret order that His Majesty gave the two of us when he left Chang'an? When Li Jing and Li Ji were about to leave Chang'an, Li Jiancheng secretly summoned Li Jing and Li Ji:

"The world's best love for Qing! Pharmacist Aiqing! I summoned the two of you separately this time because I have something important to explain to you! ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

"The world's best love for Qing! Pharmacist Aiqing! You should know how difficult it is for the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of our army to put together! In addition, the cavalry's equipment, supplies, and material rations for all major armies, as well as the men and livestock who transported grain and grass. This man eats what animals chew. It's already very impressive. Li Jing and Li Ji both nodded. Especially Li Jing, he calculated this account.

"So, this battle is very high! You must not take this lightly! Li Jing and Li Ji immediately stated:

"The ministers must live up to His Majesty's trust! Swear to give Ashina's head to His Majesty! ”

"Hahahaha! The two Aiqing misunderstood what I meant, in fact, my real target this time is not the Eastern Turks, but Xue Yantuo, who is likely to rise after the fall of the Turks! After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Jing and Li Ji were a little puzzled - Xue Yantuo tribe. Isn't the Xue Yantuo tribe an ally of our Li Tang? Li Jiancheng probably saw the confusion of Li Jing and Li Ji.

"Humph! Ally! When the people on the grassland are allies with our Central Plains people, you should remember that the people on the grassland only worship the strong, and only by staying strong all the time can the people on the grassland tame you like a loyal dog, if you are not strong enough, then I'm sorry, the loyal dog will immediately show its snow-white teeth and eat your flesh and blood. In addition, you see, this is a secret letter sent by Lord Chu Suiliang to me in the Xue Yantuo tribe - it says that the Xue Yantuo tribe is strong by nature, and can gather more than 400,000 soldiers with armor and control Xuan, more than a million war horses, and is also the leader of the Tiele tribes. At that time, when the Turks were not divided into two Turks, the Eastern and Western Turks, the Tiele tribes elected the leaders of the Xueyantuo tribe to resist. For this reason, the Turks killed more than 100 chiefs of the Tiele tribes. After the Turkic split, Xue Yantuo sometimes attacked the western Turks, and sometimes superficially submitted to the eastern Turks, but secretly planned a rebellion. It shows that the Xue Yantuo tribe is definitely not a tribe that is willing to submit to others. And I have now emptied the treasury, and I have just cobbled together such a little soldiers and horses, once I fight to the death with the Eastern Turks, after the decline of the Eastern Turks, Xue Yantuo will inevitably rise. Isn't this just killing a tiger that is about to lose its teeth, and recruiting a strong wolf? ”

"Then what does Your Majesty mean ......?"

"I mean to drive the wolves with tigers, let them fight with tigers and wolves first, and I will be ready at any time behind!" Li Jing and Li Ji glanced at each other:

"Listen to Your Majesty's clever plan!" Li Jiancheng whispered softly in the ears of Li Jing and Li Ji, and Li Jing and Li Ji both had weird smiles on their faces.
