The sky is already dark, the moonlight is not bright, walking in the grass and thorns at the foot of the mountain, Li Er's demeanor is as chic as ever, his movements are agile and fast, clean and neat, he does not complain about thorns and thorns, his words and smiles are as usual, and he can't see a trace of the pampering of a rich son, on the contrary, he is more like an elite soldier who gallops in the blood and sand field all the year round, and his temperament and demeanor make Li Jing, who is walking with him, inevitably secretly heartbroken, and secretly praises Li Yuan for teaching his son well, and the two sons he taught one is magnanimous, gentle and elegant, and the other is shrewd and capable, the bearing is amazing, and they are all rare people in the world.

Secretly praised, Li Jing didn't know what he suddenly remembered, he actually laughed, Li Erda, who was walking with Li Jing, was curious, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Pharmacist, what are you laughing at?" What makes you so happy? ”

"Nothing, I remembered a Coke." Li Jing hurriedly talked casually, and quickly changed the topic and asked Li Er: "Second son, Chen Yingliang sent you to the enemy camp to deceive the enemy, what do you think in your heart?" ”

"What else can you think?" Li Er smiled quite easily, and said with a smile: "Since I have joined the army of King Qin, of course I have been mentally prepared to carry out any military orders, whether I go into battle to kill the enemy, or go out to deceive the enemy, since it is the order given to me by the commander of King Qin's army, I have to obey it unconditionally." ”

Through the dim moonlight, Li Jing quietly glanced at Li Er, and found that the smile on his young and handsome face was sincere, and he really couldn't see what he was thinking, Li Jing couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, "Little guy, you speak beautifully in your mouth, only you know what you think in your heart." No, I'm going to have to stimulate you. ”

After making up his mind, Li Jing asked cautiously: "Second son, there is another question for the lower officials to offend, I heard that Chen Dashuai's current fiancée used to be your childhood sweetheart, and she almost talked about marriage, but because of all kinds of mistakes and mistakes, she failed to achieve good things, and was taken by Chen Dashuai, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" ”

was stabbed in the heart by Li Jing, Li Er's expression really dimmed, and after a slight pause, he nodded and said, "It's true, Mr. Pharmacist, who did you listen to about this?" ”

"Chai Shao Chai Gongzi, he said it inadvertently when he was chatting with me." Li Jing also confessed, and then took the opportunity to ask: "Second son, I heard that more than two years ago, outside Daxing City, Chai Gongzi once pointed out that Chen Yingliang had a relative who was an important henchman of Yang Xuangan's traitor, who is this relative?" ”

"I don't know." Li Er shook his head and replied: "Because of that incident, the Duke of Cheshire and his brother-in-law offended a large group of powerful people in the DPRK and China, and were stripped of their titles and official positions and demoted to commoners, and the Duke of Cheshire and his brother-in-law were extremely remorseful about this, I couldn't bear to poke the scar in my brother-in-law's heart again, so I never asked, and my brother-in-law never took the initiative to say it." ”

Li Jing was silent, peeked at Li Er again, and saw that his expression was the same, so he sighed: "I really didn't expect that the poor boy in Daxing City back then would be able to raise his eyebrows and become famous all over the world in such a short period of time, and then although he did not directly retaliate against the Cheshire family, what he did was even more hurtful than direct revenge." ”

"It's all over, why are you mentioning these things?" Li Er's heart was in pain again, in order not to continue on this topic, Li Er simply changed the topic and asked Li Jing: "Mr. Pharmacist, Chen Dashuai sent juniors to envoy the enemy camp with you, and told the Shibi Thief Chief that he was going to increase his troops in Yanmen City tomorrow night, and he would definitely take the opportunity to deceive, what was his tactical plan?" Does Mr. Pharmacist know? ”

"Sure enough, it came." Li Jing's heart sank, and he quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know, you also know, second son, because the matter of my secret conversation with your father was discovered by the Yin World Master, I have lost Chen Yingliang's trust, except for consulting me on the Turkic military situation and the geography of mountains and rivers, he has not asked me to consult the military aircraft, so I don't know what he plans to do this time." ”

Li Er was silent for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly asked again: "Mr. Pharmacist, the golden arrow token that Shibi Khan personally handed over to my brother-in-law, have you told Chen Yingliang the real purpose of that golden arrow order?" Besides, did Chen Dashuai have a large number of people forge such a golden arrow order? ”

"This kid even knows the true purpose of the Golden Arrow Order!" Li Jing's surprise was not trivial, and then he quickly shook his head and said: "Chen Dashuai probably thought that this Golden Arrow Order was just a token of the Shibi Thief Chief, so he didn't ask me about the specific purpose of this Golden Arrow Order, and I don't know if it was forged in large quantities." ”

"Chen Dashuai doesn't need to ask you, Eldest Sun Wuji must know the true purpose of this Golden Arrow Order." Li Er sneered confidently and said, "If Eldest Sun Wuji tells Chen Dashuai the true purpose of this Golden Arrow Order, then I can already guess how Chen Dashuai fought this battle." ”

"How?" Li Jing hurriedly asked.

"Lure the Turks to move, take advantage of the chaos, and take the chestnuts from the fire." Li Er's answer made Li Jing dumbfounded, and Li Er said: "Only when the Turkic army is dispatched in large numbers and fights fiercely on multiple battlefields, this golden arrow order can play the greatest role, so Chen Dashuai asked me to secretly form an alliance with the Turks on behalf of my father, promising that after the war, as long as I see the golden wolf banner of the Turkic Shibi thief chieftain appearing, my father will immediately lead the Taiyuan Qinwang army to defect." If I'm not mistaken, Chen Dashuai is going to adopt a series of tricks to divert the tiger from the mountains and fish in troubled waters this time, wanting to lure Shibi Khan to personally go out of the camp to capture the thief and capture the king first, which is also Chen Dashuai's consistent trick, and he has used it more than once. ”

At this moment, Li Jing even had the intention of strangling Li Er on the spot, and he regretted recommending Li Er to serve as this messenger. However, at this moment, a few Turkic soldiers suddenly jumped out on the side of the road, and asked Li Jing and Li Er in Turkic about their intentions, Li Jing hurriedly explained in Turkic that he and Li Er had come to meet Shibi Khan, and asked Li Er to show the golden arrow order, but after the Turkic soldiers saw the golden arrow order, they really did not attack, and then carefully checked the golden arrow order, and took the initiative to say: "Khan envoy, you can take the main road, this is already our defense area, there are our sentinels on the main road, and we can escort you to our camp." ”

Li Er nodded and thanked him, and Li Jing was relieved while thanking him - because the Golden Arrow Order in Li Shuangli was actually fake, and Li Jing insisted on carrying this fake order to test Cheng Dù for forgery. At the same time, Li Jing also comforted himself in his heart, and said secretly: "Fortunately, my deliberate temptation is not fruitless, this kid guessed that Ying Liang's real battle plan doesn't matter, as long as I am staring, I can know if he deliberately leaked it to the Shibi Thief Chief, he deliberately leaked the past, the big deal will be calculated and calculated, and a cracking tactic will be rearranged for the tactics of the Shibi Thief Chief." ”

Under the guidance of the Turkic soldiers, they left the mountain road and went down to the open area, Li Jing and Li Er soon saw a Turkic sentinel patrolling with torches from a distance, and when Li Jing hurriedly used Turkic language to express his intention to the Turkic outpost, Li Er suddenly stuffed a round thing into Li Jing's hand, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Pharmacist, this thing will be collected for me, and it will be opened again in the future." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Jing took a closer look and found that it was a wax pill, and when he wanted to ask again, the Turkic sentinel over there had already beaten the horse, Li Jing had no choice but to temporarily put the wax pill into his arms, and loudly negotiated with the Turkic sentinel in Turkic language, and at the same time Li Er also showed the forged golden arrow token to identify the Turkic sentinel.

With the forged golden arrow order almost flawless in hand, Li Er and Li Jing of course did not need to be tied to the horse like Chai Shao and taken to the camp, but were respectfully invited to the war horse by the Turkic sentinel, and trotted all the way to the Turkic camp, and then arrived at the heavily guarded camp gate, Li Er and Li Jing did not need to wait for the camp gate official to enter the report, they directly entered the Turkic camp, and went all the way to the gate of the Chinese army camp of the Turkic army. Then soon, with the absolutely unmistakable secret words on the Golden Arrow Order, Li Jing and Li Er were invited into the camp of the Chinese army, and they were directly invited into the Turkic Khan's tent with the golden wolf flag, waiting for Shibi Khan to summon them.

Shibi Khan is a very hospitable good Khan, in the middle of the night I heard that the baby son of his good friend Li Yuan Li Ambassador came in person, Shibi Khan did not care that he fell asleep for a long time, immediately pushed away the girl in his arms and jumped out of the bed, and hurried to the golden wolf sweat tent to meet Li Er and Li Jing, after meeting, Shibi Khan also hugged Li Er and laughed under Li Jing's introduction, affectionate as hugging his own nephew, Li Er was also very polite to Shibi Khan respectfully saluted, and respected Shibi Khan as if he respected his own uncle, uncle and nephew, A reconciliation account.

Next, of course, is the opening of the main play, with the help of Li Jing's translation, Li Er on behalf of Li Yuan reported three things to Shibi Khan, the first is that the follow-up reinforcements of the Sui army led by Qu Tutong and Gu Yi will arrive at the Yanmen battlefield in the near future, when the Sui army will not only reach more than 200,000 troops, but also have a large number of elite teams available. Hearing this news, Shibi Khan, who had already suffered three defeats in a row, of course his face changed, and immediately understood that there was not much time left for him.

The second thing was the movement of the Sui army tomorrow night, and Li Er directly told Shibi Khan, saying that after Chen Yingliang received the news of the arrival of strong reinforcements, he had given up his plan to attack the Turkic camp tomorrow, and was ready to wait for reinforcements, waiting for Qu Tutong's rear army to arrive before joining forces to attack the Turkic camp. Hearing this, Shibi Khan was of course surprised and asked Chen Yingliang if he didn't break his promise and break the promise of the three-day covenant? Li Er said with a wry smile: "Khan, Chen Yingliang is a thief, he just said that he would retreat within three days, but he didn't say how far he would retreat, so even if he only retreated one mile the day after tomorrow, he would be considered to have fulfilled his promise." ”

In addition to scolding Chen Yingliang for his shameless treachery, Shibi Khan hurriedly asked the third thing, and Li Er said: "Khan, the third thing is the most important, while Chen Yingliang's thief is waiting for help, he is also afraid that Yanmen City will run out of food and cannot be defended, so he decided to send reinforcements to Yanmen in two ways tomorrow night, one is to take the northwest road of your camp, and the other is to take the east bank of the Hutuo River. What my father meant was that you must not let Chen Yingliang's thief succeed, otherwise, you may never have a chance to break through Yanmen City. ”

"Of course I won't let him get his way!" Shibi Khan said viciously: "Not only will I not let him succeed, but I will also let his two armies never have a chance to go back!" ”

"Khan, so you want to ambush Chen Yingliang's army?" Li Er asked, and seeing Shibi Khan nodding, Li Er said in a deep voice: "Khan, if you make up your mind, then my father wants to make an agreement with you." ”

"What agreement?" Shibi Khan asked rhetorically.

"My father wants to join forces with you to take down the head of Chen Yingliang's thief!" Li Er said viciously: "If nothing else, tomorrow night Khan, once you ambush Chen Yingliang's thief's army, Chen Yingliang's thief will definitely send troops to rescue them, and then our camp will be empty, Khan, if you want, you can personally raise troops to attack our camp, at that time, my father will pretend to be defeated, abandon the camp and flee, and break down Chen Yingliang's thief's camp fortifications or army array for you, help you confuse Chen Yingliang's thief's military heart, and also help you cut off the head of Chen Yingliang's thief!" ”

Hearing Li Jing's translated words, Shibi Khan's whole body was shocked, and he was immediately moved, and he was somewhat worried - after all, leading troops out of the camp to fight in the middle of the night is not a joke. Seeing this scene, Li Yuan hurriedly took the initiative to say: "Khan, it doesn't matter if you have any concerns, Duke Tang can also give up this plan, as long as he sends troops to ambush the reinforcements sent to Yanmen City by Chen Yingliang's barbarians." In short, as long as you are willing, tomorrow our Duke Tang will not have to contact you in advance, as long as he sees the Khan's golden wolf banner appear, he will act according to the plan, and immediately pretend to be defeated and defeat the Chinese army of Chen Yingliang's barbarians. ”

Of course, Li Jing's words were to capture the old man, and after hearing this, Shibi Khan was of course even more moved, and said in his heart: "Good idea, I only need to agree to this agreement with the Duke of Tang, I can send troops tomorrow night depending on the situation, and if I have the opportunity, I will personally lead the army south to cut the head of Chen Yingliang's barbarians, and if I don't have a chance, I will not move, there is no danger." ”

Of course, Shibi Khan had to discuss with Ashina's family before making a decision, so Shibi Khan immediately said: "Second son, Li Juncheng, please go down and rest first, and then invite you to drink here when I prepare a banquet, and wash the dust for you." ”

Li Jing and Li Er agreed, and hurriedly respectfully retired, during which Li Jing took the opportunity to say: "Khan, Duke Tang also asks us to remind you of one thing, that is, to use those Tuo Hu soldiers carefully, as far as Duke Tang knows, Chen Yingliang's thieves still have hope for those Tuo Hu, so Khan, you'd better not arrange those Tu Hu soldiers on the main battlefield, let alone let them know the ambush plan in advance, so as not to have an accident." ”

"Yes." Shibi Khan said casually: "Tomorrow night, I will let them stand still, wait in place, and with the help of Duke Tang, I don't need to dispatch these nine surnamed Hu dogs." ”

Li Jing nodded, and then he and Li Er went to the guest tent to rest under the guidance of the Turkic soldiers, during which Li Er and Li Jing were a little eager to talk and stopped, Li Er wanted to ask Li Jing why he suddenly mentioned Tuan Hu Bing, and Li Jing wanted to ask Li Er what the wax pill he handed over to him before meant, but unfortunately there were Turkic soldiers and Turkic maids around them all the time, and without daring to confirm whether these people could understand Chinese, Li Er and Li Jing did not find the opportunity to ask.

After waiting in the guest tent for about half an hour, Shibi Khan finally sent someone to invite Li Jing and Li Er to return to the Khan tent, and when he got to the Khan tent, he saw that Ashina's family had already all arrived, and also put on the cattle, sheep, wine and meat, Shibi Khan introduced a large group of his relatives to Li Er and Li Jing, and then invited Li Er and Li Jing to the table, and it was not until after the third tour of wine that Shibi Khan said to Li Er and Li Jing: "Second son, Li Juncheng, about joining forces to take down the head of Chen Yingliang's barbarian, I agreed, If the opportunity arises tomorrow night, I will personally lead the army south, and at that time, no matter whether Chen Yingliang's barbarian son goes out of the camp to fight, as long as Duke Tang sees my golden wolf flag, he will immediately act according to the plan! ”

"Sure enough, I took the bait." Li Jing was overjoyed in his heart, and the thousand catties of boulder suddenly fell to the ground, and then he hurriedly translated Shibi Khan's words into Chinese and told Li Er.

"Great!"

Li Er was overjoyed, and then suddenly hugged his fist to Shibi Khan, and said to Shibi Khan in a proficient Turkic language: "Khan, since you promised to join hands with my father to take down the head of Chen Yingliang's barbarian, then in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, and also to let the Khan have no worries, my father asked me to keep you as a hostage in the camp, I hope you can accept it." ”

Li Er's words in Turkic were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which stunned Li Jing at once, making Li Jing's face change uncontrollably, and Shibi Khan and Ashina's family were pleasantly surprised, and asked one after another: "Second son, it turns out that you can also speak our Turkic dialect?" ”

"If you don't say it well, please forgive the Khan." Li Er smiled and said in Turkic: "Khan, I will eat and drink with you for a few days, and I can't go back until I am done, I don't know if you can accept it?" As for the matter of contacting my father, you can rest assured, Khan, the reason why my father sent his henchman Li Juncheng with me this time is to prepare for Li Juncheng to go back and deliver the letter for me after I stay. ”

"Duke Tang is really careful." Shibi Khan laughed loudly, and said: "The second prince just rest assured to stay, I will definitely entertain you with good wine, good food and good women, come, immediately go and prepare a sleeping tent for the second son, arrange two ......, no, arrange four of the most beautiful maids to serve him." ”

The detachment in the tent agreed, and immediately rushed down to make arrangements, Li Er turned to Li Jing at this time, and said with a smile in Turkic language: "Mr. Pharmacist, I'm really sorry, I surprised you, my father didn't tell you and me in advance just in case, I will speak Turkic, and I didn't tell you, he is ready to let me stay here as a hostage." ”

Hearing this, Li Jing, who was already stunned, finally came back to his senses, and said with a busy smile: "It turns out that this is Duke Tang's advance arrangement, which scared me to death, and I am still worried that I will not be able to bring you back Gongzi, and I will not be able to explain to Duke Tang." ”

Li Jing and Li Er's reply was in Turkic language, and Shibi Khan and Ashina's family could all understand it, and suddenly realized Li Jing's previous shocked reaction, Shibi Khan laughed and said: "Li Juncheng, go back and tell Duke Sù Tang, just say that I ask him to rest assured, and the second prince will definitely receive the warmest hospitality in my place." Also, after I successfully take down Chen Yingliang's head, I will not forget your credit. ”

Li Jing nodded with a smile, but he complained bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: "Oh no! Hunting geese all day long, I was pecked by geese today! I can't imagine that Li Shimin, this kid, can be so treacherous, how can I explain it when I go back now? "Sending his henchman Li Juncheng with me is to prepare for Li Juncheng to go back and deliver the letter for me after I stay."

"Duke Tang is really careful." Shibi Khan laughed loudly, and said: "The second prince just rest assured to stay, I will definitely entertain you with good wine, good food and good women, come, immediately go and prepare a sleeping tent for the second son, arrange two ......, no, arrange four of the most beautiful maids to serve him." ”

The detachment in the tent agreed, and immediately rushed down to make arrangements, Li Er turned to Li Jing at this time, and said with a smile in Turkic language: "Mr. Pharmacist, I'm really sorry, I surprised you, my father didn't tell you and me in advance just in case, I will speak Turkic, and I didn't tell you, he is ready to let me stay here as a hostage." ”

Hearing this, Li Jing, who was already stunned, finally came back to his senses, and said with a busy smile: "It turns out that this is Duke Tang's advance arrangement, which scared me to death, and I am still worried that I will not be able to bring you back Gongzi, and I will not be able to explain to Duke Tang." ”

Li Jing and Li Er's reply was in Turkic language, and Shibi Khan and Ashina's family could all understand it, and suddenly realized Li Jing's previous shocked reaction, Shibi Khan laughed and said: "Li Juncheng, go back and tell Duke Sù Tang, just say that I ask him to rest assured, and the second prince will definitely receive the warmest hospitality in my place." Also, after I successfully take down Chen Yingliang's head, I will not forget your credit. ”

Li Jing nodded with a smile, but he complained bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: "Oh no! Hunting geese all day long, I was pecked by geese today! I can't imagine that Li Shimin, this kid, can be so treacherous, how can I explain it when I go back now? ”
