Of course, Jiang Yishi's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "It is worthy of being the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it is indeed full of talents, much stronger than Goguryeo, a small country with widows." ”

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Knowing the gap, I don't know what the old general is going to do?" Looking at the old general's means of soldiers, it is really extraordinary. If you can return to the Tang Dynasty, I will not hesitate to be a prince! ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the old man hasn't finished speaking. Yes, you have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, just take the generals who led the army to conquer our Goguryeo this time......"

Jiang Yishi paused for a moment and continued: "The British public is resourceful, the king of Jiangxia is brave in killing, Zhang Jian, Wu Heimin, Ma Wenju and others are also heroes for a while, and Xue Rengui, who has just emerged, is even more courageous. But ......"

"How?"

Jiang Yishi said proudly: "These people are useless!" There are so many talents in your Datang, but you can't beat the old man alone! ”

"The old general's breath is too big, isn't it?"

"Not big, not big at all. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just try. You are the Son of Heaven, and you have led so many heroes and heroes, and you may defeat the old man's army of 300,000? Take a step back and say, if you are not required to defeat the old man's army, you 60,000 horses may retreat with their whole body? ”

"Hmph, the army of 300,000 is just like a chicken and a dog in my eyes, and it can be broken overnight!"

Jiang Yishi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty said this, do you believe it?" In fact, the old man is very suspicious, how many of your 60,000 troops can return to Datang? You, the son of the Tang Dynasty, will you be accompanied by the old man and come to Pyongyang as a guest! ”

Of course, His Majesty Li Er knew that the so-called "guest of Pyongyang City" Yunyun implied that he had been captured and brought to Pyongyang.

He rolled his eyes and said, "The old general wants to accompany me into Pyongyang City?" This...... Not really. Although you are abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, you will submit to my Datang. But if you attack the old master in the blink of an eye, won't you be laughed at by the world? ”

Li Ji saw the cheapness, and said hehe: "My Tang Tianzi is broad-minded, I don't need to be suspicious, and I don't doubt about employing people." The old general did not have to rush to show his loyalty. ”

Li Daozong also said: "Of course, if the old general really wants to express his loyalty, we can't stop it." There is no need to bring His Majesty into Pyongyang City, just sell us these 300,000 troops! ”

Several people sang and harmonized, deliberately misinterpreting, which made the veteran Jiang Yishi tremble.

He took a deep breath and said, "Good, good, good!" There is no obstacle to your arguments, and the old man admits defeat. But I wonder if the work under your hands can also be the same? The old man's camp is here, if Your Majesty wants to return south, you can't do it with your mouth alone! ”

"Don't bother the old general, I will break through your camp within a month!"

"What if you can't?"

"Then I will swear to heaven that in my lifetime, the Tang army will never step into Liaodong for half a step!"

……

……

Although surrounded on all sides, the young general Xue Rengui stepped on the battalion and rescued the king of Jiangxia. It can be regarded as a victory, and the morale of the Tang army is not so low.

In the Chinese military tent, there was even more laughter.

"The last general, Xue Li, see Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Xue Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, flat body, and given a seat."

"This ......" Xue Renguiren's pride is true, but he is not stupid. Now the people sitting in the big tent are all the fierce generals of the Tang Dynasty. How dare he, a small lieutenant, be on an equal footing with these people?

He said: "In front of Your Majesty and the generals, how can there be a seat for the last general? I'd better stand. ”

Li Daozong frowned and said, "If you sit down, you will sit down, don't be so mother-in-law!" Could it be that if he is the king's savior, he still deserves a seat? ”

Li Jidao: "King Jiangxia, this is yours. What is a seat? You didn't understand, this is a young man who is an official, why don't you hurry up and help him say a few kind words in front of His Majesty. ”

"That's right! I'm a bit of a fool. ”

Li Daozong stood up, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, today, Xue Li, the captain of the Xuanjia Military Academy, broke through the enemy army, not only saved Xiao Wang's life. It also greatly increased the prestige of our army and destroyed the morale of Goguryeo. Xiao Wang is not talented, ask for a reward for him. ”

Xue Li knew that he had shown his face today, and the promotion was just around the corner, but he didn't expect Li Daozong to mention it in front of him.

He blushed at that time and said, "Your Majesty, what I said just now was not an official, King Jiangxia misunderstood, it is really ......"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "Xue Aiqing doesn't need to say much, the first thing to do is to win people." If you want to win souls, you must have clear rewards and punishments. Even if King Jiangxia doesn't mention it, I will reward you heavily. Xue Li listened to the seal. ”

Xue Rengui knelt on the ground and said, "The end will be!" ”

"I have named you a guerrilla general, the commander of Yunquan Mansion Guoyi. And he gave two horses, forty horses, ten slaves and maids, and ten thousand dollars. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten a reward?" ”

"What reward?"

"Title! It turns out that you can agree, as long as you can rescue the king of Jiangxia, you can get ten thousand gold and seal ten thousand households. You gave the money, this ten thousand households ......"

His Majesty Li Er was also very embarrassed, originally thought that the one who went to war had to be a general, and it was nothing to reward a marquis. Unexpectedly, the meritorious one turned out to be a small school captain!

He said: "Xue Aiqing turned out to be the captain of Zhiguo on the seventh rank, and I promoted him to the captain of Guoyi from the fifth rank, which is already a leapfrog promotion. This marquis is equivalent to a third-rank official...... If you are promoted too quickly, I am afraid that the army will not be convinced! ”

Li Daozong said: "Whoever is not convinced, whoever goes to Jiang Yishi's camp will go to it!" If you can get out of the way, you will also give him a marquis! If he didn't dare to fight, he was still chewing his tongue behind his back, and without His Majesty speaking, Weichen would screw his head off. ”

Li Jidao: "At this extraordinary time, extraordinary things must be done. The morale can not be discharged, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice. ”

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes and said, "The two Aiqing said it well. I want all the soldiers to see, no matter where they come from, who can make great achievements, I will not hesitate to reward them! From the seventh grade to the third grade, Xue Rengui, who jumped thirteen levels in a row, is a role model, and Xue Li listened to the seal again! ”

"The last general!"

"I named you the Marquis of Jiangzhou, ten thousand households in Shiyi, and Shishiyi...... Two hundred! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

His Majesty Li Er said again: "Inform all the soldiers of the news that Xue Aiqing has been promoted to the thirteenth level in a row!" And each person will be given half a catty of meat and two taels of wine to congratulate General Xue! ”

As soon as the holy decree was issued, there was a sudden jubilation in the Tang camp, shouting long live, and the morale soared! The soldiers didn't think so much, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with Xue Li's promotion too quickly.

If someone else can do it, we can't do it, so we have to be convinced! It is guilty of disobeying the superior!

On the contrary, many people saw His Majesty Li Er's determination to be rewarded for his merits. They all secretly pondered to themselves, they must fight bravely to kill the enemy, take Xue Rengui as an example, and also win a high-ranking official and seal their wives and sons!

As for those high-ranking officers, of course, they were not very happy.

Yes, if you have done a miracle, you should be rewarded, and we all agree. But it can't be too outrageous! We don't say anything about you even going up to three levels, but the problem is, you're up thirteen levels!

A small lieutenant, after a victory, is on an equal footing with a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, how can this really be reasonable?

In terms of credit, didn't you Xue Rengui save a Jiangxia king? Most of these fierce generals have the credit of slaughtering cities and destroying the country. Can you get your little credit compared to others?

However, despite the secret slander in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.

Because they know that His Majesty Li Er acted like this, not because his rewards and punishments were unknown, but because of the situation!

The Tang Army is very dangerous now, and if you are not careful, the whole army will be annihilated!

His Majesty Li Er is rewarding Xue Rengui to boost the morale of the whole army!

In other words, Xue Li can get this lottery, only 20% is his ability, and 80% is a walking dog. luck, meritorious service is the right time.

At this time, if you oppose Xue Li's reward, you can't get along with the emperor! It's just that you can't get along with the whole army.

So, I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

……

……

After Xue Rengui's reward was completed, he became a high-ranking officer in the Tang Dynasty and had the right to participate in this military meeting. His Majesty Li Er asked him to sit down again, and he said yes and sat at the end of the generals.

His Majesty Li Er glanced around and said, "Now, my Tang army is 60,000, and I have surrounded Goguryeo's army of 100,000. Outside, surrounded by nearly 300,000 troops, the enemy was on the back of the belly, and it can be said that the situation was as dangerous as an egg. I don't know why you teach me? ”

Li Daozong frowned and said, "Jiang Yishi, this guy is really not to be underestimated. There are many traps in the camp, and it may not be so easy for us to defeat his camp. ”

Li Jidao: "If you break through his camp regardless of the cost, you can still be sure, but the real difficulty is how to deal with the aftermath." If we want to return to the army, we will inevitably be chased and killed by the Goguryeo people, and there is no bridge above Liaoshui now. If you can escape back, I'm afraid there won't be one in a hundred. ”

His Majesty Li Er's old face turned red and said, "This is my fault. However, it is useless to say this now. So far, we can only win, not lose! If they are defeated, everyone will die without a place to be buried. ”

Zhang Junyi said: "Then we can only wait for the enemy army to show its flaws." It's not that I said Your Majesty's, you made a one-month appointment with Jiang Yishi on impulse, and the time was too short. ”

Li Jidao: "That's not what you say. The reason why Your Majesty made a covenant for one month is because we only have one month's food in our camp. If we can't defeat the enemy within a month, we will lose. ”

"A month?" Li Daozong pouted his teeth and said, "Then you can only ask for reinforcements." ”

Li Jidao: "I read that the military newspaper said that Xun Guogong had captured Beisha City, and it was only five days away from here. Why don't you let him come to our rescue. ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "Although there are 40,000 of the army of the Lord of the Lord, it is a naval army. There are only 30,000 people who can be sent out to fight on land. How much of a difference can these 30,000 people make? ”

Li Daozong said: "30,000 people are used properly, and we should cooperate with the outside world." There are many things that can be done. The problem is that it is the Lord of the Nation who is leading the troops, which is really not reassuring. This guy has never won a war. ”

Zhang Junyi said: "King Jiangxia said this too much. Didn't Beisha City let Xun Guogong fight down? ”

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. At that time, our Tang army had not yet gained a stable foothold, and the Goguryeo army in the city suddenly came out. Do you know how the Lord of the Honours copes? ”

Li Daozong sneered and continued: "He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. As a result, the soldiers thought that he was calm and calm, and the army was very calm. Under the leadership of Deputy General Manager Zhang Jinshu, he fought desperately to turn defeat into victory. Can we expect him to have such good luck every time? ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "Zhang Liang's 40,000 troops seem to be out of reach. He is by no means an opponent of Jiang Yishi. Don't let them rescue us when the time comes, but fold themselves in. ”

Li Ji smiled bitterly and said: "If there are no reinforcements, it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the old minister will have nothing to do." I don't know ...... others."

His gaze sweeps over a person's face, and the person will bow his head. Obviously, no one has a way of retreating from the enemy.

There was a chill.

The tent was so quiet that it seemed to be audible to drop a needle.

After a long time, a voice said weakly, "I...... The last one will have an idea! ”

People followed the voice and looked, and it turned out that it was Xue Li and Xue Rengui, who had made a new meritorious service.

Zhang Junyi said angrily: "You are lucky to be in a high position, don't be dizzy, you don't know what your surname is." When it comes to battlefield fighting, you may still have a bit of a say. But this kind of military strategy, how can you speak? Don't forget, yesterday, you were just a little lieutenant! ”

Xue Rengui's face turned red, and he said, "Don't look down on people, I'...... My previous official position was not high, but don't think of me as a brave man. In terms of military strategy, I know a lot. ”

His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, and he said, "By the way, I heard you say yesterday that you have a lot of connections with my two important ministers. Now that you've been named the Marquis of Jiangzhou, it's time to say their names, right? ”

"Your Majesty, the first important minister who has a lot of connections with Weichen is Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, who is known as the God of War of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Oh? Who is he? ”

"He is the teacher of the last general, and Weichen's ability is all taught by the Patriotic Public!"

Zhang Junyi's face suddenly became quite embarrassed, and said: "It turned out to be the high feet of the Duke of Weiguo, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful!" Meng Lang just now, I hope Jiangzhou Hou forgives. ”

His Majesty Li Er also said: "Since he is the apprentice of Wei Guogong, of course he is qualified to talk about military strategy. Xue Aiqing, please tell me, how can we solve our current predicament? ”

"Then we have to talk about the second important minister who has a lot of connections with me, this person's surname is Guo Mingye Ziyi, and he is the Duke of Qin."

"What does Qin Guogong have to do with you?"

"He has the grace of knowing the last general. It was he who brought the last general into the army and accumulated merit to the captain of the sword and shield battalion. Later, the White Lotus Sect was wiped out, and there was no battle, so he transferred Weichen back to Chang'an City and added it to the Xuanjia Army. ”

"I see. But what do you have to do with Qin Guogong and our siege? ”

"Of course it is. Your Majesty, don't forget, Qin is just sending an envoy to the Khitan. If he can rely on his incorruptible tongue, he can encourage the Khitan and Xi to jointly send troops. 80,000 cavalry, plus the 30,000 army of the Lord of the Lord, that is an army of 110,000. ”

His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, patted his hands lightly, and said, "Wonderful." I know the ability of Qin Guogong, he has 110,000 troops in hand, and he should cooperate with me inside and outside. Hehe, Jiang Yishi's 300,000 army will definitely be defeated! ”

When Li Daozong heard that Xue Li was related to Guo Ye, he was full of unhappiness, and said, "Although this idea is good, but we are already surrounded, who can bring His Majesty's will to the Duke of Qin?" Jiang Yi's big camp is not easy to break into! ”

"This ......"

Xue Rengui knelt on the ground and said, "A certain family is willing to go!" ”

His Majesty Li Er stood up, put his hands together, and said, "Okay! Jiangzhou Hou's ability, I can trust. I entrust the lives of 60,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to you. After a day of fighting today, the Marquis of Jiangzhou rested early. Tomorrow evening, lead the army to break through again! ”

Xue Li's neck stiffened, and he said in a loud voice: "The military situation is urgent, how can there be time for Weichen to rest?" I will set off tonight, Your Majesty, you will sit firmly in the military tent and wait for my good news! ”

"Good! Bring the wine! ”

A little eunuch brought a jar of wine, and His Majesty Li Er poured the wine into a large bowl with his own hands, held it to Xue Rengui with both hands and said, "I salute you with a bowl!" I wish Jiangzhou Hou Qi a victory and success! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui finished drinking the resignation wine and left the Chinese military tent.

After an hour or so, everyone heard the sound of shouting and killing from the enemy camp opposite.

His Majesty Li Er immediately ordered the Tang army to beat drums and shout, make a breakthrough momentum, and contain the Goguryeo army.

Another half an hour passed, Li Ji walked into the Chinese military tent and said: "Weichen is looking at Lou Qiao, probably the Marquis of Jiangzhou has already broken through. ”

"Good!" His Majesty Li Er said: "The Marquis of Jiangzhou has already made meritorious contributions, and next, it depends on the means of Qin Guogong...... Guo Ye, don't let me down! ”
