Early in the morning, the sun rose in the east, just when it was dawning, the entire Shuofang army was in a hustle, or a breakfast of dried meat and milk, each brigade, the regiment also organized around the camp to run a few laps of morning exercises, until the sun was out of the horizon, then put on the cart, continue to advance to Liaodong. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

Pillow Ge stayed for a night, Wang Fangyi also breathed a sigh of relief, but he shook his head in confusion, yesterday, he saw more than a wave of sneaky stalkers, originally thought that there would be an attack and disturbance last night, the five brigades of the royal army were all unable to move the armor knife and did not leave their hands, but nothing happened, with this doubt, Wang Fangyi still couldn't help but hit the horse and caught up with Li Jie's carriage in front.

"Your Highness, your subordinates have some things to report."

"You mean the tails that followed, right? It's been more than two days, if everyone is nervous, we don't have to go to Liaodong, let's go down. The curtain of the car was not opened, and Li Jie's lazy voice came from inside, and he even yawned with it, which shows that it is not all bad to bring Wu Meiniang out.

"Your Highness, you can't be careless! Although we defeated Xue Yantuo's main force in the battle of the Yellow River and drove Xue Yantuo's forces back to Mobei, which of the nearby tribes, large and small, was not a man-eating wolf, and His Highness also brought so many financial ......"

Without waiting for Wang Fangyi to finish his hard admonition, Li Jie had already opened the curtain of the car impatiently, gestured left and right, and said: "Look at the left and right, the seven thousand army, all of them are elite, which tribe dares to come and pick up the tiger's whiskers?" ”

"Okay, if you don't worry, I'll leave this matter to you, I'll do it, I'm still lonely, go down!" Seeing Wang Fangyi's disbelief, Li Jie added in distress again, and put down the car curtain without giving him a chance to speak again, making Wang Fangyi look at the black curtain helplessly, but fortunately, at least he had the right to deal with it, thinking about it, Wang Fangyi pulled out his horse and left the car, and returned to his team to shout loudly.

"Wang Xuan, take your people out of the ranks!"

In a blink of an eye, six days have passed, during this time along the Great Wall, Shuo Fangjun has walked more than a thousand miles, after spending the water in front of them, they arrived at the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion in the north of the Tang Dynasty, less than two days away from the front line of Yingzhou, riding a horse and following the convoy, Wang Fangyi was at a loss.

At this time, the scout of the extension got up and galloped again, and the face of the dusty man under the helmet was not his personal soldier Wang Xuan or that.

"Dianjun, again, there is another place!" Stumbling as he spoke, Wang Xuan's face was obviously a little unnatural, which made Wang Fangyi's heart tighten, and he pulled out his horse and followed.

"Lead the way!"

Ten miles away from the convoy, the nomads' Zhan Bao was lined up, and before they could get close, the rich smell of blood had already come to their nostrils, and there were piles of corpses lying near Zhan Bao, and flies were flying on the corpses, buzzing at the exposed internal organs, coagulated blood, rotten eyes, looking a different kind of fear.

Among the dozens of cavalrymen who followed Wang Fangyi, even a few turned their heads, covered their mouths, and stared at a large pile of corpses, Wang Fangyi himself felt a chill.

"Dianjun, these people should be Ding Lingren."

His face turned pale, Wang Xuan had not forgotten his responsibility, and pointed at the ruins and said, "And the subordinates have found this here!" ”

A three-edged arrow was handed to Wang Fangyi's hand, his eyes flashed, Wang Fangyi skillfully turned the arrow over, and sure enough, a line of small characters was engraved on the inside of the arrow, supervised by Zhang Gongtan of Jinghu City!

Zhang Tan, the second apprentice of the strange craftsman that Li Jie invited back in Chang'an, Wang Fangyi's own knife was still made by him, how could he not know it, in an instant, the suspicion of a few days disappeared, it turned out that His Royal Highness brought so much property, but in fact it was just a big trap, attracting the tribes that did not surrender to Monan, and for a while, Li Jie was a little more mysterious and majestic in Wang Fangyi's heart.

It's really true, from the beginning of Li Jie leading the army across the Yellow River, Ashina Simo led the army of Shan Yu Duhufu to follow behind, after the decisive battle on the banks of the Yellow River, many of the nomadic tribes in Monan have already rushed over with bright eyes, and they have put the pasture near the newly built Baotou City.

With the help of Li Jie's big bait, along the way, several tribes hidden in the depths of Monan were lured out, defeated their main force, and coerced people, and now Ashina Simo's 20,000 army is driving more than 100,000 people to return to the direction of Baotou City, and the fertile Hetao alluvial plain is now in need of serfs to reclaim.

However, Ashina Simo himself was still unhappy, looking at the east from a distance with resentment, and muttering as he walked: "King Shuo's nephew is too, bait is bait, but leave the toilet that was promised to Ben Khan!" Wait for the next batch to be burned, and it will take a few more months! ”

I didn't know that I still had a broken thought behind me, at this time, Li Jie had already led the army to the west bank of the drifting water, and crossed here, which was the Liaodong Raole Du Governor's Mansion, and further on, it was Goguryeo!

"Goguryeo, Lone is here!" With a low roar, Li Jie, who was riding on the second dog, immediately raised his whip and urged the horse, and shouted angrily at the soldiers of the whole army: "Great army, cross the river!" ”

Another three days, Yingzhou.

The identity of the prince is quite noble, under the city of Yingzhou, thousands of cavalry lined up on both sides, the dark Li Tanglong banner is flying fiercely in the wind, the swords and guns of the cavalry exude a compelling cold light in the sun, majestic and compelling, in front of the cavalry array, dozens of officers are surrounded, but the first two heavy-armored generals are all gloomy.

"Brother Zhen, what are you doing here?" Looking at the banner on the horizon from afar, the young heavy-armored general on the left asked in a low voice with some concern, and the bearded veteran Gao Cheng, who was slightly silver-haired, shook his head helplessly.

"Providence is unpredictable!"

"But if King Shuo is here to take over our military power, how should we deal with ourselves? The situation at the forefront is also known, King Shuo is young and famous, if he insists on going his own way, wouldn't he repeat the mistakes of the former Sui? Speaking of this, Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, became more and more worried, but he sighed when he heard it.

"We are incompetent, if Your Majesty wants to recruit, what can we do?"

"Alas~"

In the various thoughts of the two supreme commanders of the Tang front, Li Jie's convoy still arrived in front of Yingzhou City slowly, and the leading cavalry also laid out a neat array, which was also majestic, but what made Zhang Jian frown was that more than 100 luxuriously decorated four-wheeled carriages followed.

This kind of carriage, Zhang Jian has heard of it even if he is far away on the front line in Liaodong, it is more spacious and stable than the previous two-wheeled carriage, but the price is more expensive and extravagant, and it is also the first start of King Shuo, and even with a lot of broken nobles who are qualified for the title have begun to do carriage business, and even His Majesty's chariot has also been converted into a four-wheeled one, with more and more cement roads, Rui is convenient.

The question is, King Shuo brought this kind of enjoyment to the battlefield, can he really do it?

What made Zhang Jian frown even more was that after Li Jie's carriage stopped, he opened the carriage door, Li Jie jumped down and didn't say anything, but he reached out to support a young man with bright eyes and bright teeth.

The prince is an example, I heard that even after the rebellion failed, the prince still had to carry the ashes of the prostitute with him, and it seems that King Shuo is also good for this! Thinking about it, Zhang Jian couldn't help but tighten the chrysanthemum again.

"Haha, I've seen my eldest cousin! I haven't seen you for a long time, but my cousin is still the same. I didn't know that I was being treated as a homosexual, and after instructing Wu Meiniang to hide behind her, Li Jie stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand, which immediately made Zhang Jian's heart feel relieved.

Thinking about it, Zhang Jian still led Gao Cheng and the others to turn over and dismount respectfully, and saluted with his hands and fists: "I've seen King Shuo!" ”

"I've seen King Shuo!" Thousands of Liaodong cavalry also turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee, and the sound was shocking, but it made Li Jie pick his eyes unnaturally, is this a demonstration like me?

Fortunately, as he shouted and flattened his body, Zhang Jian and the cavalry still stood up obediently, which made Li Jie also breathe a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Jian's shoulder in the heavy armor and said: "Jie is here, it's just a newcomer on the battlefield, and I have to rely on my eldest cousin to teach and carry it, Jie is traveling all the way, and he is still tired at this time, let's go into the city and talk about it?" ”

Zhang Jian's father, Zhang Zhishang, the ninth Xinyang princess of Gaozu Li Yuan, so Li Jie said this, such a series of politeness, but Zhang Jian was more at ease, and he also arched his hand with a smile on his face: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the ministers have prepared a dinner party in the mansion, and invite His Royal Highness to enter the mansion to rest!" ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!"

With Li Jie's hearty laughter, the original little bit of Xiao at the gate of the city was diluted without a trace, under the escort of Wang Fangyi, the Shuo Wangfu army, Li Jie led five hundred cavalry and who Zhang Jian entered the city, but his mighty convoy did not follow the process, but in the military camp next to Yingzhou City led by Scar Liu, looking at a series of luxurious and beautiful carriages, those Yingzhou troops couldn't help but be amazed.

Although Yingzhou City is the location of the state city administration, but Liaoxi has experienced more than 100 years of ****, it has long been not as prosperous as the pre-Han Dynasty, and the surrounding residents are also Khitan, Xi, Yan and other fishing and hunting nomads, so the entire state city is very small, and the military fortress means obviously more than the administrative center.

Therefore, Zhang Jian's Governor's Mansion is also quite rough and simple, directly the straw paved roof, the wooden pavilions and pavilions are not painted with paint, the stables are directly in the front yard, and there are also two large military camps on the left and right of the Governor's Mansion.

However, Zhang Jian's dishes to entertain Li Jie are all good, the dishes are all local wild vegetables, fat and tender venison, wild boar stewed directly in a large soup pot, as well as pheasants in the mountains, mushrooms and other things, after eating dried meat for several days, looking at these, Li Jie is really drooling in his mouth, and at the same time a little regretful secretly thought, at this time, it would be good to have sauerkraut vermicelli stewed together, remember that Chinese cabbage is native to Yangzhou, you should look for it!

Li Jie pulled Wu Meiniang, under the whirlwind chopsticks without grace, his mouth was full of oil, and he ate for a while, and when he was half-full, Li Jie noticed that Zhang Jian, who had accompanied him for a long time, did not move the chopsticks a few times, and the two generals of Gao Cheng were all worried, and they stopped talking, and looked at themselves with resentment for a long time.

Sure enough, eating people has a short mouth! With a sigh, Li Jie wiped his mouth before raising his head and asking suspiciously, "Big cousin, I don't know if there is anything that needs Jie's help?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Jian decisively turned around and took out the map from the side.

"There is indeed something that needs the help of His Highness!"
