Li Shimin was wearing a black leaf rhino leather armor, wearing a black gold helmet, except for the beard on his face, from a distance, he was simply a shrunken Xuzi. Wu Shi Tong and another Li Xu unnamed general followed him, followed by Murong Luo and Li Anyuan. There was a moment when Xu Zi thought that Zhang Xiu and Yu Wenshi would also appear in the crowd opposite, but in the end, apart from these few people, he didn't find more familiar faces.

"Brother Zhongjian, I really didn't expect to meet you here!" A miniature version of "Li Xu" clenched his hands into fists on horseback, his scarlet cloak fluttering behind him. The war horse under his crotch is also black, and there is no half of the stray hair on his body, and he faces the black wind, reflecting each other.

"I've heard that the second son takes this road, so I hurry up and chase after him from behind." Xuzi immediately returned the fist with a fist, his eyes constantly looking in front of and behind the other party. Li Shimin has completely grown into an adult, with an unconcealable heroic spirit on his body. The samurai beside him still looked as calm as he had been back then, and the expression on his face was happy, but his demeanor did not exceed it in the slightest. Murong Luo and Li Anyuan greeted Xuzi with a smile, waiting for their lord's greetings with each other to end.

"You've already been to Taiyuan?" Li Shimin heard that the other party deliberately rushed over to meet him, and the smile on his face became even stronger. He saw this as Li Xu's respect for himself and was very proud. "Have you seen my father and brother? Guys have been talking about you lately! ”

At this point, the smile on his face suddenly became a little weird again, as if he was sharing a secret with the other party. In fact, everyone was talking about Li Yuan, this lawless little girl was so angry that Li Yuan went crazy. The news that Xu Zi married Zhang Xutuo's righteous daughter as a concubine was already sent to Taiyuan by the Li family's friends, and the core people of the family knew very well that the bride must be Qian'er. But this matter can't be compared with Xuzi, after all, it was Yu'er who sent it to the door herself. Besides, a pot of raw rice has already been made into mushy porridge, and even if the Li family comes to the door, they will not be able to get any justice.

After thinking for a while, Xuzi understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words, smiled, and replied calmly: "I rushed directly from Qi County, and I copied a shortcut, not through Taiyuan." Tang Gong and Brother Jiancheng are okay, what about Brother Hongji, why didn't he join you? ”

"Except for Brother Hongji, everyone is fine. He had a bit of a cold and was probably going to have to take care of it for a while. Brother Zhong Jian, you've been doing well lately! ”

"It's all good, it's all good!" Li Xu passed on his own message to the other party in general. Then he turned his head to Wu Shi Tong, "Brother Shi Tong is good, General Murong and General Li are fine!" ”

"General Lao Li Lang asked, we have been doing well lately!" Murong Luo and the others finally got a chance and surrounded them with a smile.

They wore the same style of armor as the samurai, and their official rank was still that of a governor, but they were certainly no longer part of the Xiongwu battalion. Asahiko quickly drew conclusions from the outfits of several of her friends. 'These people are now under Li Yuan's command, what happened to the Xiongwu Battalion? He was a little worried, but he also knew there was nothing he could do.

"General Yun Dingxing is camping with the team, and he asked me to say hello to you for him!" Li Shimin explained very well the reason why General Huben Yun Dingxing did not take the initiative to come to greet him. Then he pointed to the young subordinate beside him, "This is my army commander Sun Wuji, Brother Wuji, this is the Brother Zhongjian I have been telling you!" ”

"See General Lee!" The eldest grandson Wuji gave a fist salute to Xuzi. followed by Li Liechen, Liu Chong, and Chen Ji, all of whom were rising stars in the Tang Mansion, Xuzi had never dealt with them before, but from the other party's demeanor and expression, it could be inferred that these people were Li Shimin's descendants.

He also introduced Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Jiang to Li Shimin. Hearing that the other party was a hero painted by the emperor and hung in the palace, Li Shimin's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly stepped forward with the war horse, and reached out to support Qin Shubao's arm, which was saluting, "It should be me saluting Brother Qin, you are older than me, and your official position is higher than mine!" With that, he quickly jumped off the horse, clenched his fists and bowed, "Taiyuan Li Shimin, I've seen Brother Qin!" I have heard of Brother Qin's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet him today! ”

"Little grandfather, how can this be done!" Qin Shubao also hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and returned the horse with a long look. In the past, the children of the family he had seen were all arrogant, so for the sake of Xuzi and Tang Gong Li Yuan, he was reluctant to be more serious with the other party in terms of official positions. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was actually an alternative, not only did he not have the arrogance of a child of a family, but he showed enough humility.

"I've seen Brother Luo, I've seen Brother Zhang!" Li Shimin worshiped Qin Shubao, and turned to Luo Shixin and Zhang Jiang to repay for the long term. Luo and Zhang also hurriedly jumped off the horse and returned with their fists, "I've seen the little grandfather!" ”

"Don't call me little grandpa, I'm Brother Zhongjian's brother. When it comes to official positions, Brother Qin and Brother Luo are above me! Li Shimin waved his hand and said angrily.

"Everyone is close in age, so it's better to talk about it as equals!" The eldest grandson Wuji is very old and makes a suggestion in a timely manner.

This proposal was met with a response, especially Luo Shixin and Zhang Jiang, who just made both of them feel uncomfortable. "It's best to call your name by name, which saves you a lot of trouble. Otherwise, so many generals don't know who to call when they shout General Li! ”

"Just Brother Yiluo and Wuji's words!" Li Shimin agreed with a smile, and then stepped forward to pull the reins of Hei Feng. "I'll take you in, with Brother Zhongjian coming, this battle will be much easier!" He introduced with a smile, and at the same time was satisfied to see Asahiko quickly jump off the horse.

Li Xu handed over the task of rectifying the team to Zhang Jiang and Luo Shixin, and he was accompanied by Qin Shubao to see Yun Dingxing. The position of General Huben is also a fourth grade, but Yun Dingxing belongs to the border army sequence, and his power is far greater than that of Xuzi, so he inevitably has some self-contained identity. For this kind of bad habits in officialdom, Xuzi has long been accustomed to it, and he is not willing to worry about the other party.

After a little exchange of pleasantries, the guest and host quickly brought the topic to the battle situation in front of them. "General Li has come thousands of miles to help, and his loyalty is really commendable! But the Turks are menacing, and we must not underestimate the enemy! Yun Dingxing was obviously a little disappointed with the number of soldiers in the county, although he didn't have too many soldiers and horses under his command.

"Bluffing is my idea for General Yun, the Turks are very strong, and reinforcements have already suffered at their hands. Because they can't figure out the number of our people, they haven't been intercepted yet! Li Shimin took Yun Dingxing's words and explained to Xu Zi and Qin Shubao in a low voice.

"It's not like (yes) the incompetence of the guy surnamed Yin, and he was scattered by a thousand people. If it weren't for General Yao's desperate efforts to save him, it is estimated that his own head would have to be cut off by the Turks! Yun Dingxing sneered and commented in a weird manner.

This person's gloating attitude made Xu Zi very disgusted, and he knew that if he knew this, the county soldiers should not have stepped forward to join him. Looking back at Qin Shubao, Xu Zi also saw the same dissatisfaction on the other party's face. He turned his gaze to Li Shimin again, and found that the latter's expression was very calm, as if he had long been accustomed to everything around him.

"General Yin was too light on the enemy, so he was caught off guard by the Turks who suddenly came out, and finally the whole army was wiped out!" The words of the eldest grandson Wuji confirmed the severity of the situation from the side. "Except for Yanmen Pass and Lao County, the other thirty-nine cities in Yanmen County have all fallen into the hands of the enemy. Our soldiers and horses are cautious and safe for the time being. It is less than half a day's journey from Laoxian, and if you go further, you may encounter enemy troops at any time! ”

"General Yun's admonition is like a stream, which is a blessing for us juniors!" The warrior Tong also came over, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Li Xu's face with his body. The Xuzi in his memory is still the teenager who can't bear the grievances, and someone needs to cover it up. But Xuzi proved his maturity with practical actions, nodded at all the people who cared about him, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I met General Yun, otherwise I would have to suffer a big loss if I don't know the situation!" ”

"After all, ginger is old and spicy!" Qin Shubao quickly exchanged glances with Li Xu and admired.

Seeing that everyone was so respectful to themselves, Yun Dingxing was embarrassed to say anything that was not in his ears, and proudly stroked the white beard on his chest, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you and I are ministers in the same hall, and what else do you share with each other." The brothers must have encountered a lot of trouble on the road, and I heard that the area around Taihang Mountain has been very unstable lately! ”

"General Tuoyun's blessing, the road is quite peaceful!" Li and Qin smiled and replied in unison.

"Well, put your brother at the end, if there is any trouble, my men and horses will take it first, you can rest assured to recover your strength!" Yun Dingxing nodded, and made a decision without saying anything. "If there's anything to add, just ask. My hand is tight, but I can still squeeze out a little bow and arrows and a staff! ”

"Thank you, General Yun!" "Thank you, General Gaoyi!" Li Xu and Qin Shubao were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. Yun Dingxing waved his hand generously, "You're welcome, everyone has to fight with others together!" Your weapons are better, and my brethren have lost less!"

This was his only reasonable sentence, and several generals who were familiar with Xuzi looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the tent became relaxed. Li Shimin ordered someone to put out a map and explain in detail the information he had mastered. "The Turkic invasion may have been planned for a long time, and for several years their camp has been moving closer to the border. Some of the places that used to be mixed with Hu and Han have now been completely turned into pastures for the Turkic people. Local officials have played the court many times, but His Majesty has refused to care about the Hu people because they don't know the number of etiquette! ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, his face showing a little helplessness. The three counties of Dingxiang, Mayi, and Yanmen also fell under the jurisdiction of the Hedong Pacification Envoy, and after Li Yuan took office, many of them discovered that the three counties were seriously invaded by the Turks. He has repeatedly revised books to complain to the imperial court, but every piece of the book has been lost.

"This time, the Turks killed from the junction of the Mayi in Yanmen, and the number was close to 300,000."

"So much?" Qin Shubao gasped. After receiving the holy decree of King Qin, he once analyzed the enemy situation with Zhang Xutuo and others, and believed that it was impossible for the Turkic soldiers and horses to exceed 100,000 at most. "The lands are desolate, and there is no abundance. If there are too many people and horses, Shibi Khan will not even be able to supply supplies! At that time, Master Zhang Xutuo, who had been in contact with the Turks, analyzed it with great confidence.

"In addition to the subordinates of Shibi Khan, there are many other Eastern Liao clans who followed into the fortress to rob" Li Shimin nodded and responded. As long as the Central Plains is weak, foreigners will definitely come in to fight the autumn wind. This has been the norm for thousands of years. Besides, those Saishang tribes were originally wallgrass, and if they had to choose between the Great Sui and the Turks at this time, they would definitely choose the latter.

"And what do they eat?" Qin Shubao had already heard from Xu Zi that other Cypriot races would follow the Turkic judgment, so the reason for his surprise was not due to the complex composition of the enemy.

"Rob. In addition to robbing all the cities in Yanmen County, they also ransacked most of Mayi County! Li Shimin's words were full of anger. You came a little late, and the fires have been extinguished in many places. If it is two days earlier, you can see the black smoke ....... that obscures the sky! ”

"It's all Wang Rengong's cowardice, and he doesn't dare to go out of the city to fight!" Yun Dingxing suddenly interjected again, startling everyone.

Xu Zi did not dare to agree with this, in his memory, Wang Rengong was a very brave general. I remember that on the bank of the Liao River, it was this person who broke through the interception of the Goguryeo people with Zuo Wuwei's soldiers and horses. In an instant, Mai Tiezhu, Qian Shixiong, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Shixiong, familiar faces shook in front of their eyes, giving people the feeling of suddenly dreaming.

"General Wang Rengong is old!" Wu Shi Tong sighed in a low voice, confirming Yun Dingxing's evaluation of this person. "He is no longer the same General Wang as he used to be. If he still had half a point of bravery, the arrogance of the Turks would not be so arrogant! ”

'We are not what we used to be' Xuzi replied with a sigh in his heart, pointing to the Yanmen Pass with his finger as he continued to inquire about the situation around him. "How many defenders are there in Yanmen Pass, and how long can they hold on?"

"It was very dangerous before, but three days ago, Yuwen Shi and with the help of the old general Qu Tutong led the Xiongwu battalion to tear through the encirclement and rushed in. Now the Xiongwu battalion is guarding in Yanmen Pass, and General Qu Tutong leads the remaining remnants of the army to retreat to Xiaoshan to echo it. The situation doesn't seem so urgent anymore, it's just that there are Hu people everywhere, and it's not easy to repel them! Li Shimin showed a little admiration on his face, thought about it, and replied.

"It is also possible that the Turks deliberately put the Xiongwu camp in. There was not much military food in the city, but there were more than 20,000 mouths at once, and they were consumed even faster! The eldest grandson Wuji took Li Shimin's words and analyzed them from another angle
