What is the original intention of the eldest grandson Wuji's proposal, others do not know.

But at this moment, it is true, Li Zhi and Xie Yi have gone to Dingxiang, it is a fait accompli, what else can they do but accept it?

At the same time, you can have some expectations, according to Xie Yi and Li Ji's recital, if it really succeeds, it will be the best result, not only to solve the crisis of the invasion of the northern barbarian army and the emergency situation in Chang'an, but also to completely solve the disputes in the northern grasslands, which has the effect of stabilizing the country.

So it's still worth looking forward to, after success......

A thought flashed through the heart of the eldest grandson, and then he didn't say anything, let's take care of the front first!

After Li Shimin heard this, his anger gradually put down, revealing a deep expression, and after a long time, he said softly: "Then let's see what results Pheasant Slave and Xie Yi can do in Dingxiang." ”

The emperor spoke, and it was naturally difficult for others to say anything, but ...... After all, the risk is very high, a twenty-year-old young man with a thirteen-year-old boy to go to the chaos of the army, the land of tigers and wolves, how likely is the possibility of the success of the army, only God knows.

Even if the eldest grandson Wuji swore that he could look forward to it, it was said that if he was asked how sure he was, he couldn't say one, two, three.

is about the safety of Chang'an, Datang Sheji, who dares to joke easily? It is necessary to mobilize the soldiers and horses, but where should the soldiers and horses be transferred now?

Li Daozong of Lingzhou was unable to move when he was pinned down by the Western Turkic army, and the Hedong army, which was originally the most dependent and convenient, now went to the grassland, and it was impossible to support Chang'an.

So where do you move your troops?

When many courtiers were helpless, His Majesty Li Er said leisurely: "Send a decree to Ke'er, let him lead the Anzhou soldiers and horses back to Chang'an to escort." ”

The holy decree was conveyed, and everyone's hearts moved, although Anzhou was a little far away from Chang'an, but at least it was still too late. It can be regarded as a last resort at present.

As long as there are soldiers and horses guarding Chang'an, the Turks and Xue Yantuo people will not be able to break the city in a short time, and they are also worried about being outflanked by Li Daozong and Li Ji, so this move can be regarded as a good way.

But......

There are also people who are keenly aware of one thing, this incident involves both the king of Wu and the king of Jin, and the prince and the king of Wei in Chang'an City have been-for-tat. There is a lot of fighting in the open and in the dark. Now that the kings of Wu and Jin are also involved, it is likely that a great contribution will be made in this crisis, so that the four princes will ......

Think about it in the future, Chang'an City is so lively!

But now, the focus is on the northern steppes, and how the battle ends will be the key. It will be interesting to see how Jin King Li Zhi and Xie Yi will perform.

……

Chang'an City is still in late autumn, but the northern grasslands are already in the season of the north wind.

Riding a horse across the banks of the Yellow River, the north wind struck his face. A little painful, a little cold, Xie Yi looked at Li Zhi beside him, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, you are about to enter Dingxiang, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Li Zhi replied with an oath, but his face subconsciously showed a little gloom.

Xie Yi smiled lightly, maybe Li Zhi was really not afraid when he was in Jinyang. There is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. But that's not the case now, seeing the constant movement of the army along the way. The atmosphere is solemn and solemn, which inevitably makes people feel intimidated.

Now it's just that it's on its own territory, but after entering the territory of the Turks, it's hard to say what the situation will be, anyway, it will only be more depressing than now.

"Xie Changshi, shouldn't I try to be afraid. Cool as a cucumber? Li Zhi asked in a low voice, a little embarrassed, and seemed to be worried that he had messed things up.

"No, you can do whatever you want, Your Highness can come in itself is a powerful deterrent. That's enough. Xie Yi said: "If Your Highness can be completely calm, it is naturally good, if not, there is no need to deliberately disguise, Your Highness is still young, and it is reasonable to be a normal reaction to see the thousands of troops and horses being a little afraid and shocked, not surprising." If it is deliberately disguised, it is not good for Ashina Simo to see the clues. ”

"That's good!" Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression of worry on his face became a little thicker.

It's good for a thirteen-year-old boy to be able to do this. This is a good exercise, so that Li Zhi can gain some insight and exercise his courage.

Li Zhi in history was criticized for being weak, but after this experience, His Royal Highness King Jin should be able to grow up quickly and become a young man who can be resolute and heroic. What kind of effect will it be when a prince has the literary brilliance of King Wei, the heroism of King Wu, and the elegance and modesty that the prince lacks?

Xie Yi smiled knowingly and said softly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, no matter what, I will guarantee that Your Highness will return to Chang'an safely, please believe me." ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded emphatically, showing great trust in Xie Yi.

A few years later, when he thinks of this scene today, Xie Yi will always feel a lot of emotion. Li Zhi will also sigh, maybe his life began to change from this day.

……

This time they went to Dingxiang, Li Zhi and Xie Yi didn't bring a few people, just 600 guards and horses.

The number of people should not be too large, otherwise it will easily arouse Ashina Simo's vigilance and disgust, which will be counterproductive. It is not good to have few people, if a prince goes out, if there are too many people to follow, it will also be abnormal, not to mention that when the king of Jin went out of Chang'an, the emperor specially dispatched the army of Zuo Wuwei to guard it is a well-known thing.

Six hundred is an appropriate number, and these numbers are reasonable, and they can also play the role of self-protection and protection when necessary.

Although it is said that it is a bit risky, Xie Yi does not intend to gamble and put his life on the death, but sometimes it is necessary to leave some way back for himself.

At the place where he was about to leave the state, two people came to greet him.

Xie Yi didn't mention how excited he was when he saw Kan Ling for the first time, after leaving for two years, Kan Ling looked a little older, but the whole person looked a lot more cheerful. It seems that in the two years of merging the state, he has been free from those hatreds of the country, and Kan Leng's heart has relaxed a lot.

"San Lang!"

"Big brother!"

When avoiding everyone, Kan Ling asked, "San Lang, is Xijun okay?" ”

"Okay, very good, Xijun is pregnant and is giving birth in Chang'an."

Hearing Xie Yi say this, a smile suddenly appeared on Kan Ling's face. In his heart, he regarded Du Xijun as his own sister. Suddenly I heard that my sister was pregnant, especially when he was in his forties and still alone, so he was naturally very happy.

"Okay, I'm going to be an uncle." If it weren't for the fact that there were many people not far away, Kan Ling would probably laugh at this moment.

Xie Yi said: "Well, the child will be born in March or April next year. When the time comes, my uncle will definitely take a look at Chang'an. ”

"Naturally, I want to go back and see them, but can I leave the state?" Kan Ling shook his head slightly, as if he was a little lost.

Speaking carefully, this is really the case, he is still guilty now, and he has been sent here, and it is not up to him to decide whether he can leave or not. It is already commendable that Li Ji can give him freedom within the scope of his authority, but if he wants to easily leave the land of development, it is not like that.

I didn't want Xie Yi to say, "Uncle, don't worry. This matter is not impossible, after all, this is the first time that you discovered the collusion between Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, which is an important credit, and when the time comes, it will be reported to Chang'an, and it may be used in exchange for your freedom. ”

"Really?" Kan Ling couldn't help but be a little excited, although the days of distribution and replenishment of the army were also easy, but in the end it was not like that, if he could regain his freedom. That's naturally the best. Especially when I heard that my sister already had a child, I had to go back to see my nephew.

Xie Yi smiled: "Isn't there still me." When I return victoriously from the Dingxiang grassland, I will mention this matter to the emperor, and I will fight for my uncle's freedom no matter what. ”

"San Lang, don't be ...... because of my business" Kan Ling said: "To be honest, I don't recommend you to go to Dingxiang, it's too dangerous there." In case you are ...... Now that he is pregnant, he has to cherish himself more, and he should not be as dangerous as last year.

And you take the emperor's son with you, in case there are three long and two short. Will Li Shimin ask for guilt? What should we do? ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I know in my own heart, this time I went to Dingxiang for the safety of the community; Second, it's also for revenge, do you know what colluded with Xue Yantuo and Ashina Sima? Xie Yi only said two reasons, but the most important moment was not mentioned.

Even a person close to Kan Ling can't speak freely about his expectations for Li Zhi, which is the most important secret.

Kan Ling really didn't care, but after hearing Xie Yi's answer, his face suddenly changed, and he remembered the man in Tang costume he had seen by the small river in Dingxiang. That obviously went to the Han family from Chang'an, and colluded with Tu Lisu and Ashina Simo, which is obviously not a good thing.

Now listening to Xie Yi's words, it seems to be......

"San Lang, is it true?"

"It should be, Li Ji and I have both found out his clues, and we have probably mastered something, but there is no substantial evidence yet."

Xie Yi said: "One of the purposes of going to the grassland is here, as long as you do this well, you will be worthy of your father-in-law's spirit in the sky, and you will have an explanation for Xijun and your uncle." Originally, their actions were very secret, but they were inadvertently broken by you, uncle, and it can be regarded as providence, so I should do the rest. ”

Kan Ling nodded secretly, he didn't expect that there was such a complicated situation, let alone a kind of coincidence that had its own providence. But......

"That being said, revenge isn't the most important thing, especially if you want to take risks." Kan Ling said: "San Lang, you have this heart, I and Xijun will be satisfied, now you should stay in Chang'an to accompany Xijun, instead of going to Dingxiang for these things to adventure." ”

"Uncle don't persuade me anymore, I know all this, but I have to do it, and now I have no choice." Xie Yi said in a deep voice: "Now I need my uncle to introduce me to the situation of Dingxiang and provide necessary help, and I will take care of the rest." ”

"Okay!" Kan Ling knew that it was useless to persuade again, so he muttered for a long time and nodded helplessly: "Since this is the case, I won't say anything, you must be dangerous, and you should be careful yourself." ”

"Well, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I'm sure." Xie Yi nodded heavily and said, "I promise to return to Chang'an safely and to see Xijun, and wait for the child to be born." ”

"That's for the best." Kan Ling said: "Li Ji has already instructed me to cooperate with you in the periphery and provide necessary assistance." ”

"It's so good, I'm relieved to have my uncle here."

Kan Ling said: "Originally, I wanted to go to Dingxiang with you, but I had already shown my face that day, and it was inconvenient to go again." But the brother who went with me, the warrior who rescued me from the chaos, was not exposed much in the dark, and let him accompany you.

This person is a shrewd person, and his skills are quite good, and he has also been to Dingxiang, so he knows the situation there quite well. ”

"Good!" Xie Yi looked up at the young man in the distance who thought he was dignified and strong, and asked, "Is this the person my uncle is talking about?" ”

"That's right, it's this person!" Kan Ling waved his hand and said, "Rengui, come here!" ”

Rengui? Such a familiar name.

didn't wait for Xie Yi to think about it, just listened to Kan Ling's introduction: "San Lang, this is Xue Rengui, but a ......"

What Kan Ling said later, Xie Yi didn't hear it, only heard the three words "Xue Rengui", and his head exploded.

When I saw Zhang Shigui a few days ago, I was still thinking about when Xue Rengui would be "born", but I didn't expect that it would only be a few days later, and I met it.

According to the legend of Romance, shouldn't he have appeared when Li Shimin was preparing to conquer Liaodong? How is it ahead of schedule now?

It's not surprising to think about it, there will be some deviations in history, not to mention romance, which is exaggerated. Although he couldn't be sure that Xue Rengui in front of him was the one he thought in his heart, but seeing that this person was dignified and strong, he knew at a glance that he had the potential to become a fierce general.

Shicai Kan Ling also said that this person is smart, brave and strategic, and he can still save him in such a situation, and he stole a horse and escaped from Dingxiang, which shows that he is indeed not an ordinary person. Therefore, it should be eight or nine inseparable from ten, and the Three Arrows Ding Tianshan has a lot to do with this person.

It's really a coincidence that the book is not written, I really didn't expect Xue Rengui not only to appear early, but also happened to appear next to Kan Ling, and then logically introduced to himself.

In this way, there should be no more episodes of Zhang Shigui bullying Xue Rengui, as for him in the future...... If you help and help you properly, a fierce general will come into being.

Haha, it feels good to think about it, and creating a fierce general with your own hands is a very rewarding thing, and it can also be very helpful in the future. Li Ji is relatively not young anymore, in the future, Xue Rengui can be regarded as one of the best generals in the Tang Dynasty, with this help, it can be said that he is like a tiger with wings, and he can't ask for it!

This trip to Dingxiang could have been regarded as dangerous, but now Xie Yi's mentality is very relaxed, Xue Rengui's appearance is a good sign, and this trip will definitely go smoothly and return safely.

However, this trip also has an additional task, in addition to cultivating and training Li Zhi, General Xue Rengui should also spend some effort on his side. (To be continued.) )
