Chapter 704: What if I embarrass you?

At the end of August, I don't know where the Turkic wolf rode out of nowhere suddenly killed Shanggu County, and what is very surprising is that Shanggu County is the territory under the rule of Luo Yi in Youzhou, and none of the soldiers and horses stationed in Shanggu County responded to the battle. The defenders of the city even left grain and grass outside the city, and the Turks took the grain and grass and left, which made people feel incredible.

What was just surprising was that tens of thousands of wolf riders turned a blind eye to the castles of Shanggu County. The army swept through Shanggu County like a wind, and it only took five days to wear Shanggu County and rush straight to Boling. This frightened the famous Boling Cui clan, and the Cui clan hurriedly sent people to Zhaozhou to ask for help from Great Xia.

Boling County can be regarded as Dou Jiande's territory, but the location is a bit special. To the north and northeast, Boling County is Luo Yi's territory, and to the south, it belongs to Bactria . Because of the Boling Cui clan, Boling is almost an autonomous place. Cui's gave Luo Yi a lot of benefits, and also gave Dou Jiande a lot of benefits, so Boling's garrison was Cui's private soldiers, neither Luo Yi's men nor Dou Jiande's people.

Tens of thousands of wolf riders came violently, and the Cui family panicked up and down.

The Cui family's private soldiers were only more than 10,000 people, although most of them were stationed in Xianyu City, Boling County. These private soldiers, who are about 7,000, look well-armed and well-trained, but they have never fought at all! It's okay to let them maintain law and order in the city on weekdays, and it's obviously not so easy to let them fight the enemy in blood. Most of these private soldiers who hold Cui's salary and silver on weekdays are scoundrels from all over the world, where there is a little bit of blood that a soldier should have.

What's more, you have to face the Turkic wolf rider, who is known for its cruelty and brutality!

The wolf rode into the pass, which time was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? Didn't that time burn the city?

And what worries everyone left behind in the Cui family the most is that the soldiers of the whole country of Great Xia went south to rescue Wang Shichong. Now the domestic troops in Great Xia are already stretched, and I am afraid that even if I send people to ask for help, it will be difficult to have reinforcements. Not to mention that Boling County and Zhaozhou are thousands of miles apart, so what if they are close at hand? Now sitting in Zhaozhou are Empress Cao and Nayan Peiju, these two people are afraid that they will not have the courage to mobilize the already small Xia army to go north as soon as possible.

If you wait until you send someone to the south of the Yellow River to ask Dou Jiande to make a decision, you will be delayed for two months. By that time, Boling County had already become a scorched earth, and the Cui clan would have to suffer the catastrophe of annihilation!

Cui Qian, the head of the Cui family, looked at the heads of the houses in the clan sitting below, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He is only forty years old this year, and he is the eldest son of the previous head of the family. He had served as an official in Zhuo County during the Great Cause period, and had also personally conquered Goguryeo with Emperor Daye, and later achieved the position of the county guard of Zhuo County under Luo Yi. But when his father died of illness, he resigned and went home to keep his filial piety. Cui Qian, who inherited the position of the head of the family, faced such a crisis for the first time, so he was extremely uneasy.

No matter how big an official they are in the court, as long as they don't break away, they still respect the head of the family. The Cui family is huge and noble, and the people sitting in this room are either townsmen or counties, and they can be referred to as having a knighthood on a random person. Although most of the titles were given by the Great Sui, there is no doubt that the status of these people is equally noble in the new dynasty.

"Do you want to ...... or not"

Cui Qian's sixth uncle, Cui Pinggu, has a township marquis title and a vacant position as a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu. The former was sealed by Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Cause, and the latter was sealed by Emperor Dou Jiande of Great Xia. He said tentatively: "Why don't you come out with a sum of money from each room and see if you can buy peace?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Cui Qian's fourth uncle Cui Pingshan shook his head and said: "It's not Luo Yi's people who come, it's not Dou Jiande's people, even if it's the people of the Tang Li family, it's not difficult to buy peace with silver." But it's the Turks! If the Turks see that our Cui family can make up a large sum of silver, I am afraid that it will lead to their greater greed! When the time comes, don't say that you can't buy peace, I'm afraid that it will buy a catastrophe! ”

"Dezheng"

Cui Pinggu glanced at Cui Qian and asked, "You are the head of the family, you still have to make up your mind about this matter." ”

Cui Qian was a little distracted, and when he heard Cui Pinggu ask, he collected his thoughts and said, "I've been thinking just now, why did the Turks suddenly come to our Boling County?" ”

"Then you still need to think about it?"

Cui Qian's fifth uncle, Cui Pingshi, said angrily: "If it weren't for Luo Manzi's nod, how could the Turks easily enter the customs even if they were good at fighting?" Is the 5,000 tiger heavy armor in Youzhou an ornament? For so many years, the Turks trembled when they heard the name of the tiger and heavy armor, and without the permission of Luo Manzi, they would never dare to go deep alone! ”

"Where is the Great Wall where is the Great Wall where the Tiger is unequaled?"

Cui Qian sighed, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Just do what Uncle Sixth said, each room will make up a little silver first, and it won't take too much, just gather 100,000 yuan and send it over, and try what the attitude of the Turks is." This time, the lone army went in, they didn't come to attack the city, this is very clear, it is estimated that Luo Yi put them in is to block Dou Jiande...... Helplessly, who told us Boling to block here? ”

"It's time for us to make a choice."

Cui Qian stood up, thought for a while and said, "Dou Jiande was defeated in the south, and Luo Yi surrendered Li Tang...... Now that Li Tang is in full swing, we must find a reason to lean in. This time the Turks went south, which may not be a bad thing. Fifth uncle! I will send 100,000 guan from the long house, and each room will make up another 100,000 guan, and while the Turks have not yet besieged the city, you will rush to Chang'an by water. ”

He said word by word: "I heard that the holy daughter of the Turks has some relationship with His Royal Highness King Yan......

Just as he was saying this, a team of 100 people entered the customs from Mayi, all dressed as Han people, with the waist card of the Tang Dynasty military on their bodies, and 100 cavalry, the most eye-catching of which were twelve female soldiers wearing red armor. The group was escorting a carriage, and in the carriage sat a woman in a lilac dress, and a teenage boy sat next to her, who was curiously looking out the window.

"Sister, what's the name of the place we're going to?"

"Chang'an."

"What are we going to do?"

"I'm going to ask you for a title, Ashina Bugua took refuge with tens of thousands of wolf riders and took refuge in the Tiele people, my sister has to help you find a backer, the grassland must be stable for a while, to be stable, but you have to kill people first...... I'll send you to Chang'an, and when my sister kills Ashina and Tiele, I'll take you back to the royal court. ”

"Sister won't stay?"

"I can't keep it."

The woman in the lilac dress smiled and said with some sadness: "I am a saint of the steppe, a saint of the Turks, and there are some things that my sister must carry now." ”

……

……

"Now the situation is a little out of control, but Lone can't leave Chang'an easily!"

Li Xian frowned slightly, looked at the map in front of him, sighed and said: "If Li Shimin doesn't bring troops back to Chang'an, Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong will be variables!" Now that Dou Jiande's strength has suffered a big setback, it is the best time to use troops against Hebei. If you wait for a while for Dou Jiande to recover his strength, it will be much more difficult to move troops again! ”

"But Chang'an City is not stable, as long as I leave Chang'an City, it is difficult to ensure that someone will do anything. When the army left the city, those people in the shadows would immediately jump out and invite Li Yuan back to sit on the dragon chair! ”

"But now there is a bit of a shortage of troops, and it is not easy for the original Tang army to be mobilized, even if the Tang army in Taiyuan can be transferred, I don't dare to use it."

He rubbed his sour brow and said, "It's hard." ”

"It's the first time I've seen you like this."

Ye Huaisleeve walked to his side, gently hammered his shoulder and said, "Since you started the army until now, you have always been calm and light. ”

"It's not the same ...... now as it used to be"

Li Xian held Ye Huai's hand and said: "In the past, I just had to fight, no matter what it looked like, even if I beat the world to pieces, it didn't matter, whoever stopped me in front of me would be slaughtered." But now that half of the country is in his hands, he has to go out to fight, but also come back to defend ...... Only then did he take over the burden, and the situation was already difficult, and the predecessors said that it was easy to fight the country and defend the country. It is necessary not only to defend the territory, but also to open up the territory...... It's still when the situation is unstable, and it's really difficult. ”

Ye Huaisleeve's heart moved, but he didn't show it: "Actually, the most difficult thing for you now is to care, to carry the reputation of benevolence, righteousness and morality." If you are still on Yan Mountain, even when you are in Juye Ze, why should you be so sad about killing people? But now there are people who have to be killed, but they can't be killed, because you can't lose your righteousness. ”

"Hypocrisy?"

Li Xian asked with a wry smile.

"Sitting in this seat is not a hypocritical thing."

Ye Huaisleeve said: "It's not something you want to do, but something you must do and can't do." Li Tang's old ministers are all watching you, and there are many people waiting to see if you make a mistake. ”

"I should personally lead the troops south, Xu Shiji led the troops to attack Hebei, I can rest assured, he and Yu Wenshi are rare handsome, now Hebei is tired, and there is nothing to worry about after losing consecutive battles. Moreover, Qingqing also led troops into the customs, Liu Hongji had already overturned three county towns in a row, and Dou Jiande would be too late even if he withdrew his troops to defend with all his might. But not in the south...... Li Shimin, he is not afraid of anything now, and he dares to do anything. ”

"What would he do if he were replaced?"

Ye Huaisleeve suddenly asked.

"Him?"

Li Xian shook his head and said, "He is Li Yuan's son-in-law, so he doesn't have so much trouble." ”

"Then cut all the troubles."

Ye Huaisleeve said lightly, his eyes resolute.

Li Xian didn't hear the difference in her tone, just sighed and said: "Where is it so easy, it's that I'm too slow after a series of big victories, Yan Yunjun has always been too smooth, I have always warned the people below not to be frivolous, and now it seems that the most frivolous one is me." After breaking the layout of the old nun and Li Yuan, I felt that I was no longer invincible in the world, so I easily and hastily let Li Shimin out. ”

In fact, there is another reason that he also knows, that is, the current situation is no longer the era of much understanding of himself, it has changed, so the things in his mind are no longer useful. And this change started because of him, so now he has no reference anymore, so he can only tear through the fog in front of him step by step.

He clenched Ye Huaisleeve's hand tightly, and said with some amazement: "You insisted on killing Li Shimin that day, you can see farther than me." ”

Ye Huaisleeve shook his head and said, "I didn't see as far as you, I wanted to kill him at that time because I saw close." It's enough for me to see who threatens you, and I'll try to get rid of whoever threatens you. This is the duty of the Military Inspectorate and the duty of the 4,600 military inspectors. And you think too much, you look too far, and you keep arranging the back hand. I'm different, I only look at what I'm looking at...... It's easy to think, so things can be simpler. ”

"What would you do if one day I did something that made you embarrassed?"

Ye Huaisleeve suddenly asked, his tone a little sad.

"You?"

Li Xian shook his head: "You did something that made me embarrassed, so I naturally stood on your side." Even if you're not on the other side of reason, I'm still on your side. This is something that doesn't need to be considered, and I've never liked reasoning in front of affinity. ”

"Hmm!"

Ye Huaisleeve nodded vigorously, as if he wanted to engrave this sentence deeply into his heart.
