Chapter 331: Secretly swearing

Li Shimin was talking to the servants at the door, and suddenly saw a group of cavalry turning around at the corner of the street, although there was no banner, but it was naturally no one else who came with people and horses at this time. It's just that the old housekeeper Lao Sun was surprised for a moment, and muttered with some uncertainty: "Why didn't you use the flag?" ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Your Majesty is trapped in Yanmen Pass, people from all walks of life in the world have rushed to rescue the driver, Brother Hongji is a careful and cautious person, how could he come out to walk under the banner of our Li family?" ”

Lao Sun suddenly realized and immediately understood. If it is known that the Duke of Tang sent a cavalry to pick up the second son, even if this is a very small thing, but if it is used by those people in the court with dirty minds, and arrange something bad to let His Majesty the Emperor know, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing unpleasant will happen. Tang Gong has endured it for so many years, and now that he has just improved, he naturally does not want to provoke any gossip easily.

This is also the reason why the cavalry led by the eldest grandson Wuji does not play the banner of the Li family, and some of the villains in the court are good at telling right and wrong. Especially when Tang Gong was reused, I don't know how many people are red-eyed.

The Li family and the Yuwen family have always had contradictions, and Yuwenshu was extremely favored in front of His Majesty, and no one in the army could stand out. If he said anything in front of His Majesty, His Majesty would naturally care. In particular, this time Yuwen Shu and his two sons, Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi are also trapped in Yanmen Pass, and the father and son are in trouble with the king, if His Majesty gets out of trouble, I can't say what kind of glory will be given to them Yuwen family.

Although Li Shimin didn't see whether the person who came was Liu Hongji, he knew that the person must have been sent by his father Li Yuan. So he walked up quickly with a smile on his face, and sure enough, when he saw him coming, the general led by him also immediately dismounted, handed over the reins of the horse to his own soldiers, and walked forward quickly to meet Li Shimin.

"I've seen Brother Hongji!"

Li Shimin was a beat faster than Liu Hongji, and walked first and saluted.

Where was Liu Hongji willing to accept his worship, he hurriedly staggered and stepped aside, and then said, "I've seen the second son." ”

"How did Brother Hongji become so polite!"

Li Shimin stepped forward and took Liu Hongji's hand and said: "The year before last, it was Brother Hongji who came to assess my martial arts, I thought that Brother Hongji came during the Chinese New Year last year, but I didn't expect it to be the eldest grandson Wuji, haha He has too many rules of etiquette, and it is very boring, I still think Brother Hongji is free and easy!" ”

"The second son has won the prize!"

When Liu Hongji first came to the Li family's old house, he was very uncomfortable with Li Shimin's seemingly natural familiarity and politeness, and later he slowly learned that the second son, Li Shimin, was an approachable surname, and the people in the mansion were also pleasant. The young man's surname is refreshing, and he is a good son, which gives people a good impression in itself, and Liu Hongji also has a little more respect and appreciation for him after knowing that he is a person.

"I heard early in the morning that it was Brother Hongji who came to pick me up, but I was happy for a long time!"

Li Shimin took Liu Hongji's hand and said as he walked: "Drinking in the house, now there is no one who is my opponent, and now I still remember the refreshing thing of fighting wine with Brother Hongji the year before last. ”

Liu Hongji looked at Li Shimin's smiling face, and suddenly felt a sadness in his heart. Although this young man is very happy, how deep is the loneliness and loneliness hidden under this happiness? He knew that Li Shimin drank a lot of alcohol, but because of this, Liu Hongji felt something. A teenager who lives alone in an old house, I don't know at what age he learned to drink in order to relieve his sorrows? Or is it to get drunk and have a good degree? Thinking about the cold and desolate mansion, Liu Hongji felt that it was not a taste in his heart.

"Second Son"

Liu Hongji looked at Li Shimin and said sincerely: "It's not a hurry to drink, there is an opportunity to return to Taiyuan City, and I naturally have to wash the dust for the second son, but at this time, I can't delay." If the second son is packed up, let's eat something and leave immediately, I think the second son is also in a hurry to see Tang Gong and his wife? ”

"There's no hurry."

Li Shimin pulled Liu Hongji into the old mansion and said as he walked: "I finally caught you once, I will definitely refuse to let you go if I don't drink a hearty drink first." ”

Liu Hongji smiled: "Why are you letting me go?" Obviously they are walking together. ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and seemed to suddenly realize: "I got used to it, and I obviously thought that I was going to leave the old mansion, but I forgot it while I was talking." ”

When Liu Hongji heard him say this, he was even more stunned.

"Second Son"

"What's wrong?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile as he walked.

"Nothing"

Liu Hongji smiled, but he sighed in his heart, and said that he would talk about it later, and after returning to Taiyuan City, Tang Gong would still talk to the second son after all.

On the same day that Liu Hongji arrived at Didao City in Longxi County, the team of the eldest grandson Wuji also crossed the Yellow River from Dongjun, and then turned to Shangguan Road, all the way to the east, to Dongping County. Dongjun was originally the territory of Wagangzhai, but the leaders of Wagangzhai were planning a major event recently, so when the spies reported that there were officials and soldiers entering the country, Zhai Rang just let people monitor them, and he didn't plan to do anything to this official army.

A while ago, Li Mi sent someone to contact Zhai Rang and invited the heroes of Wagangzhai to send troops to attack the eastern capital Luoyang. He offered extremely generous conditions, as long as he could break through the eastern capital, he tried his best to promote Zhai Rang as king.

Zhai Rang naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to really believe that Li Mi would be so generous, but he considered that Wagangzhai had suffered a loss in Dongping County, and now it was the time to fight a battle to restore some prestige, and besides, if Li Mi really defeated the eastern capital, if he became the king, he could also get a lot of benefits from it. Besides, now Li Mi has gathered 200,000 Green Forest Rebels, as if he is the leader of the Green Forest Road. If he sent someone to ask him to send troops, if he didn't go, in case Li Mi held a grudge, it would be bad to defeat the eastern capital and send troops to the eastern county again.

It's just that the opinions in the village are not unanimous, and Shan Xiongxin is in favor of sending troops to encircle the eastern capital. But Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng did not approve, and the two sides argued for several days, but no one could help anyone.

Therefore, the cavalry of the eldest grandson Wuji entered Dongjun, where did the people of Wagangzhai have the heart to swallow this hard bone at this time? Thousands of elite horsemen in Wagangzhai were slaughtered by Yanyunzhai in the valley, and now there is no decent cavalry team in the village, how can they easily swallow the thousand light cavalry? If people want to fight, they can fight, but if they don't want to fight, if they leave, Wagangzhai is not easy to catch up with now.

Zhai Rang has been very annoyed for the past few days, annoyed that there is no one in Wagangzhai who can really help him come up with some good ideas. As soon as he thought of this, he thought of Xu Shiji, so his annoyance became more annoyed, and his anger became more angry.

But anger is anger, and chagrin is chagrin.

Wagangzhai is now facing such a dilemma, and he must come up with some big decisions.

It just so happened that when Zhai Rang was worried, someone helped him solve this headache. Li Mi sent someone to send a handwritten letter on the front foot, inviting Zhai Ranghui to hunt the eastern capital. A few days later, he sent a letter saying that Qu Tong, who was left behind in the eastern capital, suddenly transferred the soldiers of Zhang Xutuo County of Qi County to relieve the siege of the eastern capital, and Li Mi asked Zhai Rang to stop the men and horses of Zhang Xutuo of Qi County for the sake of the morality of the same way in the green forest, and not let them easily reach the eastern capital.

Zhai Rangzheng was worried, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he received this letter.

Compared with the long journey to join Li Mi to attack the eastern capital, it was obviously much easier to stop Zhang Xutuo's advance. As long as Zhang Xutuo's men and horses were dragged, it could be regarded as a great favor to Li Mi. If Li Mi really achieves great things in the future, this credit is not too small to say.

The eldest grandson Wuji's team entered Dongping County from Dongjun County, and stopped thirty miles away from Lei Ze City, he knew that the entire Dongping County was now the territory of Yanyunzhai, but he didn't dare to be too ostentatious, especially when he heard that Li Xian, the big boss of Yanyunzhai, was a warlike person, so he couldn't take it lightly.

He sent people to meet the people of Yanyunzhai in Leize City, and asked the people of Yanyunzhai to let them go, and he was going to Juyeze to find the big boss of Yanyunzhai and discuss important matters.

After half a day, the leader of Yanyunzhai in Leize City sent someone to send a reply, asking the eldest grandson Wuji to wait here, and Yanyunzhai wanted to send someone back to Juyeze to report first, and if you can't see it, the general has the final say. The leader of Yanyunzhai in Leize City is Fu Hunu, he doesn't know why Li Yuan in Taiyuan sent someone to see the general, but he knows that if he doesn't have the general's order, he will let a cavalry of more than 1,000 people go over, but he is afraid that he will be severely beaten with a military stick.

The eldest grandson Wuji was not in a hurry, and said in his heart that he was just waiting, and he hadn't figured out how to start the topic when he met with Li Xian, the general of Yanyunzhai, so he happened to take advantage of these days to think about it again. It's just that after waiting for five days, the people from Yanyunzhai came with news that the general was going out, and if he wasn't in a hurry, he could wait for a few more days in Lei Ze. The eldest grandson Wuji asked when your general will come back? The man replied crisply and neatly.

I don't know.

The eldest grandson Wuji was helpless, and personally entered Leize City to see Fuhu Nu, explaining his intention, but he was ordered by Tang Duke Li Yuan to come to visit General Li of Yanyunzhai. Fu Hunu thought for a while and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "If you are in a hurry, it is better to do this, you take a few personal soldiers to Juyeze to personally ask where General Qing went, as for your cavalry, you must not be able to let go." ”

Fu Hunu saw that the eldest grandson Wuji's face was embarrassed, so he promised: "As long as your cavalry doesn't make trouble, I will naturally not do anything unharmonious first, although I look at the equipment of your thousand cavalry very greedy, but the general's military order has not come down, and I can't disarm your cavalry on my own initiative." ”

His words almost tilted the nose of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said in his heart how could this person from Yanyun Village speak so confidently. A leader who guards the little Leize City speaks so arrogantly, does Yanyunzhai really have this strength, or are all the people in Yanyunzhai arrogant?

It's just that when Fu Hunu said this, it couldn't be more natural, where it seemed to be bragging.

With this eldest grandson Wuji's judgment, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to pigs are stinky, so I can't say that Li Xian is still an arrogant person.

The eldest grandson Wuji naturally wouldn't worry that the 1,000 elite Li family cavalry under his command would be disarmed, but he was a little worried that if he went this time, would Li Xian be annoyed and dismantle himself indiscriminately?

It's just that since you're here, can you go back without seeing anyone?

Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji left the cavalry in Lei Ze, only bringing fifty personal soldiers, and the younger sister of the eldest grandson Wuji, who was disguised as a man, went to Juyeze under the guidance of the soldiers of Yanyunzhai.

After entering Juyeze, when he saw the soldiers who were training, the eldest grandson Wuji finally determined one thing, that is, Fuhu Nu was not bragging, and the soldiers and horses of Yanyunzhai were so majestic!

And on this day, Li Shimin had already left the ground in Longxi County.

He looked back and told himself in his heart, Li Shimin, you must not let your father down, let alone let yourself down! I have taken the first step today, and I have to go down step by step, as for how far I go and how high I climb, it is all in my heart, and I naturally will not tell others.
