Li Xian leaned back in his chair and squinted at Hou Junji, who was standing in front of him trying his best to be calm, he didn't speak, and Hou Junji didn't dare to speak. The wound on Hou Junji's buttocks has been treated, and he has taken good trauma medicine, but after all, he has really suffered from the ten army sticks, and at this time, he has to try to ensure that he stands straight, and it can be seen from the corners of his eyebrows that he occasionally provoked, and he endured the pain on the wound very hard.

After being silent for a while, Hou Junji finally couldn't help but ask, "General, how can you see that I didn't go all the way to the Yanwu Academy?" ”

He asked directly, and Li Xian replied directly: "From the barracks to the martial arts academy, although you calculated the time, it was still faster, because you were in a hurry, so you couldn't wait." In addition, there were still blood stains on your footprints when you entered the Martial Arts Academy, and there was still blood all the way from the barracks to the Martial Arts Academy, is this possible? ”

Hou Junji's face changed, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

"You can't write, you can't do martial arts, but you are so confident that you think you are a pillar of talent, I don't ask you where your confidence comes from, and I don't ask what you can do for me, I only give you one thing to do, if you do it well, I will naturally reuse you in the future, if you don't do it well, the thirty military sticks recorded in the account will be returned to you sooner or later."

Li Xian said indifferently.

Hou Junji thought for a while, and didn't directly say anything like guaranteeing the completion of the task, but asked cautiously, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Xian pointed to a letter on the table and said: "The news that the Flying Tiger Fifth Department just sent back, Long Tingwei Du Wei Wen Jiao was seriously injured last year, so Yang Guang didn't take him with him when he went north, and now Yang Ye has almost arrived at Yanmen Pass from Northeast Liao's patrol frontier, perhaps because he remembered that Wen Jiao was not around, he was a little unsure, so he urgently transferred Wen Jiao, who had recovered from his injuries in Jiangdu, to the north. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xian paused for a moment and glanced at Hou Junji: "I will select fifty of the most elite spies for you, and I will also give you the most accurate information, you can find a way to kill Wen Jiao halfway." ”

"Huh?"

Hou Junji was stunned, and his face suddenly became miserable.

Although he has only been in Yanyunzhai for four months, many of the general's deeds are clearly investigated. Among them, of course, the battle between General Yishui and Wen Jiao, with the general's martial arts, coupled with the invincible and powerful sea of sneak attack, he still failed to kill that Wen Jiao. How is the general's martial arts, Hou Junji has never seen it, so it is difficult to speculate. But he had seen the martial arts of the majestic sea, so he could completely guess how strong Wen Yao was.

He is a smart person, and in order to get ahead, he once spent a small price to contact Xu Blind. The two quickly became good friends who talked about everything, and he also heard the beginning and end of that battle from the mouth of Xu Blind. In Xu's blind description, Wen Yao has simply become synonymous with invincibility in the world.

So when Li Xian said that he should kill Wen Jiao, Hou Junji's face became even more ugly than a pig's liver, but after being silent for a while, he still nodded firmly.

"I'll go!"

He gritted his teeth and spat out two words.

"I'll give you two things."

Li Xian smiled and said, "These two things will help you more or less, at least they can make Wen Yao's mood become chaotic." No matter how strong a person is, as long as his heart is disturbed, he will show flaws. If you do a good job, I'll make you a scout lieutenant when you come back. ”

Hou Junji shook his head and said, "If I can kill Wen Jiao, and I don't want to be a scout lieutenant or general when I come back, just let me be a pro-soldier team." ”

"You're greedy."

Li Xian smiled and waved his hand and said, "Go, I will send someone to send those two things to you." ”

Hou Junji clasped his fists and saluted, and did not drag mud and water and turned out of the military tent. After Hou Junji left, Ye Huaichong walked out slowly from behind the big tent, she looked at Hou Junji's back, frowned slightly, and said, "Do you really think that such a person can kill Wen Jiao?" ”

Li Xian smiled and shook his head: "Naturally, it can't." ”

He paused for a moment and said, "But this person can make Wen Yao very uncomfortable." What can't be done head-to-head, some small tricks in the dark often work. But then again, Wen Yao is the strongest in the dark, he knows better than anyone else about the dark things on the rivers and lakes, and he naturally can't look down on the small means that don't go into the stream. ”

"Then why did you send Hou Junji there?"

"Hou Junji can't kill Wen Jiao, but he can disgust him."

Li Xian smiled: "This is the advantage of the little people. ”

"It's finally here"

Li Xian sighed and said: "I remember that I said that I don't plan to attack anywhere during the national crisis, but if I can get some benefits by peaceful means, I will not refuse." ”

Ye Huaisleeve asked: "Do you want to use this matter as a bargaining chip to make Zhang Xutuo change his mind?" ”

"Difficult!"

Li Xian smiled: "But it's really the best bargaining chip." ”

Ye Huaisleeve sat down beside Li Xian, combed the hair hanging down in front of his forehead, and was silent for a while, saying, "This matter is too big, so big that it will change the pattern of the current Great Sui." When the time comes, the rebels on the Green Forest Road will not take advantage of such a good opportunity. And even if Yang Guang has no way, he is still the emperor of the Great Sui, and when the time comes, all the officials, soldiers, and horses in the world will inevitably go north, and the court will be empty, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Li Xian slowly shook his head and said, "Maybe, but I won't." ”

"You're not a stubborn person."

Ye Huaisleeve frowned slightly.

"Stubborn?"

Li Xian smiled: "This word is used very well, I thank you for not using the word stupid." ”

Ye Huaichong was also amused by his words, but quickly shook his head again: "With Zhang Xutuo's foolish loyalty, he will definitely send people to the north at that time, Qi County is empty, and he only needs to send 20,000 horses to set foot in Licheng, so why bother to talk to him?" You've always been decisive, and this time"

"I'm not a Sui person."

Li Xian smiled and said, "But I'm a Han." ”

Ye Huaisleeve was stunned for a moment, and then he was silent.

In April of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Yang Guangbei toured Yanmen Pass, and the Turkic Shibi Khan led the people and horses of various tribes in the grassland, with a total strength of more than 600,000, and trapped Yang Guang in Yanmen. Yang Guang sent people to fight his way out of the encirclement, and ordered people from all walks of life in the world to rush to Yanmen Pass for drunk driving.

At the end of April of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, who had been waiting for five months, saw the opportunity and gathered a total of 200,000 rebels from all walks of life in Lulin Road to attack the eastern capital Luoyang. The ministers left behind in Luoyang were immediately shocked, and mobilized all the imperial court personnel on both sides of the Yellow River to rush to the eastern capital to rescue, but the emperor was trapped in Yanmen Pass, if the soldiers and horses were transferred to the eastern capital, the matter must be blamed by the emperor, this difficult choice made the ministers who stayed in the eastern capital very sad.

At the end of April, the news spread throughout the northern land of the Great Sui.

Yang Shanhui, the county of Qinghe County, did not obey the dispatch of the imperial court to lead the army to relieve the danger of the eastern capital, and resolutely led the 5,000 county soldiers of Qinghe County to march to Yanmen Pass day and night. Yang Yichen, the ambassador of the six counties, led 10,000 county soldiers to the northern border pass, and Qi County guarded Zhang Xutuo, collected Qi County horses, and made up 5,000 cavalry, with Qin Qiong as the general to lead the army to Yanmen Pass non-stop. However, Qu Tutong ordered Zhang Xutuo to lead the army to attack Li Mi, Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to lead the remaining 12,000 men and horses of Qi County to march to the eastern capital.

Youzhou

In Luo Yi's luxurious room, he looked at his angry son in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

"Shixin! Can you listen to me? ”

Luo Yi frowned and said: "Shibi Khan brought at least 600,000 troops this time, known as one million, and the grassland cavalry came and went like the wind, do you think it is as weak as those grass robbers you cleared in Qi County?" I know that you are confident in your martial arts, but in an army of millions, what is the use of your personal martial arts, no matter how strong your martial arts are? I only have you as a son, and I won't put you in danger no matter what. Don't mention this matter again, I won't promise you to go to Yanmen Pass. ”

"Father!"

Luo Shixin took a step forward excitedly: "Brother Qin's letter, he has already led the army from Qi County, and rushed to Yanmen Pass day and night, he and I are brothers in life and death, he goes, how can I not go?" ”

"You are not allowed to go to anyone who goes!"

Luo Yi said angrily.

Luo Shixin's face became extremely ugly, and he asked loudly: "Are you still the military general of the Great Sui, or the same Luo Yi back then!" Have you forgotten how the people of the Great Sui describe our elite soldiers in Youzhou? There is a gap in the Great Wall, and the tiger is unique! Father! How did you forget all this? ”

"An official of the Great Sui?"

Luo Yi sneered: "I tried my best to keep Youzhou safe, and I didn't take the opportunity to raise a rebellion, which is already worthy of the imperial court and Your Majesty." Youzhou Jingjia is the capital that my father has saved little by little over the years, which is the foundation of our father and son in troubled times. Let me lead the troops to Yanmen Pass to save the emperor, how many people will my elite soldiers in Youzhou die in battle? Have you thought about these things? ”

"But father, you can't be infamy!"

"Infamy?"

Luo Yi snorted coldly and said, "Silly boy, if I raise the flag to rebel at this time, will you see if anyone scolds me?" Is there a lot of scolding of that faint king, or a lot of scolding of me Luo Yi! ”

He glanced at Luo Shixin, and his voice softened and said, "Old Concubine Li is in Taiyuan County, Hexi, and now he hasn't sent troops to save the emperor, don't you understand?" ”

"Li Yuan is a timid and scared person, how can he compare with you, father!"

Luo Shixin retorted.

Luo Yi shook his head and sighed: "He is indeed a cowardly and fearful person, otherwise how could he strangle his own child with his own hands because of the suspicion of the first emperor?" No one else knows about it, but I know it clearly. It's just that on the surface, he is really timid and afraid, and he can even strangle his own children to death, but if you think about it again, can he be considered ruthless? I'm afraid that such a person is already plotting a rebellion! Compared to him, I, Luo Yi, are worthy of Your Majesty! ”

Taiyuan City, Hexi

Li Yuan paced back and forth in the room, his face heavy. From time to time, he stopped to glance at the map spread on the table, and then carefully calculated in his mind, his brow furrowing more and more.

Chen Yinshou glanced at Li Yuan, sorted out the wording, and cautiously tested: "The proprietor has reached the time when he has to plan early for the chaos in the world, Li Mi poured 200,000 troops to besiege the eastern capital, if we are late, I am afraid that Chang'an will also."

The eldest grandson Shunde and Chen Yinshou secretly disagreed, but at this time they had the same opinion.

"The proprietor, it really can't be delayed any longer, how can you not take advantage of such a good opportunity?"

Li Yuan raised his head and glanced at his two most trusted henchmen, then slowly shook his head and said, "You only see one of them, but you can't see the other side, if I do that big thing at this time, I won't be saddled with endless infamy?" National disaster, national disaster, the more this time, the more careful you must be. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde and the others still wanted to persuade him, Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say anything about this matter, I have made up my mind, and I will send troops to Yanmen Pass." ”

He didn't let his advisers speak, but turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "Auxiliary, there is something more urgent than the Yanmen Pass, you go to the south for me, I want you to help me find someone!" ”

In April of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen Pass.

At the beginning of May of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Li Xian took 5,000 elite horsemen out of Juyeze, crossed the Yellow River and went all the way north.

Someone once asked him, the official army went north to save the emperor, and you also went north, what are you going to do?

Li Xian said: "I'm going to kill people"

He smiled: "Kill one person first, and then many, many people." ”
