Chapter 478: Xu Mao's Contribution Returns to Zhao
"It's really stupid, such a Xiongguan was easily captured by Li Shimin." Li Xin stood on the Tiger Prison Pass, and scolded slightly dissatisfied, although the Tiger Prison Pass is not external and internal, but it is not a Xiong Pass, Li Shimin wants to attack It will take a certain amount of time, I didn't expect that it could be easily captured in one night, and he also killed Wang Xingben, the Tiger Prison Pass was easily captured, and finally even burned the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Prime Minister, Li Shimin has already looked at Liyang and left, is our army going to pursue?" Yu Chigong said softly.
"Naturally, it's going to be pursued." Li Xin didn't think about it and said: "Li Shimin is like a lost dog now, if you don't pursue at this time, when will you wait, if you talk about soldiers and horses, my soldiers and horses are far above the other party, and the morale is even higher than the other party, do you just watch Li Shimin escape from us?" There is Xu Shiji ahead, although Xu Shiji has not explained who he is going to take refuge into, but in the face of the general trend, Xu Shiji can still have a choice. No matter how bad it is, Xu Shiji will not take care of Li Shimin, at most he is neutral. Whoever you are preparing to be the vanguard, leading the 10,000 to be one step ahead. ”
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard." Wei Chigong and the others strode out, with smug smiles on their faces, everyone wants to participate in such a war.
"Prime Minister, Shen Guang returned to the Prime Minister, but he didn't make an inch, at this time, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, please allow the Prime Minister." Li Xin was about to speak, and Shen Guang said loudly.
"Then let Shen Guang be the vanguard, lead the army of 10,000, pursue Li Shimin first, General Pei is the rear army, sit in the tiger prison, and the rest of the soldiers will attack Li Shimin with me." Li Xin laughed and said: "This time, it was not easy to destroy Li Zhao's tens of thousands of troops and capture Li Yuanji, if you can make persistent efforts and continue to capture Li Shimin, it would be the best." ”
"Yes." The generals answered loudly.
What Li Xin didn't know was that on the road ahead, in Liyang City, the Confucian general Xu Shiji was walking around the hall. His face was cloudy, and suddenly there was a sound of admiration, but he saw a young woman with a good face coming over, she was Xu Shiji's wife Shen Ruyan, Xu Shiji's fellow villager, not to mention that she was as beautiful as a flower, but more importantly, she was extremely smart, and Xu Shiji was in Liyang is her attention.
"Ma'am." When Xu Shiji saw Shen Ruyan, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. stepped forward and said, "Li Shimin sent someone. He is coming to borrow the word. ”
"The general doesn't know how to choose?" Shen Ruyan's beautiful eyes flashed with wisdom.
"If it had been before, it would have been borrowed. But now, a day's journey behind Li Shimin is Li Xin's army. Not surprisingly, Li Xin would also send someone. Xu Shiji said with annoyance. He is actually a separatist party in Liyang, of course, he has no ambitions, he just wants to take refuge in the co-owner at a critical time, and sacrifice it to Liyang, and now the arrival of Li Xin and Li Shimin forces him to make a choice.
There are three people who can become co-masters today, the first is Li Xin, who occupies Guanzhong, Bashu, and Liangzhou. The strength is also the largest, the second is Li Yuan, who occupies the state, and the last is Dou Jiande, among the three. Li Xin has a favorable location, Li Yuan has a harmonious person, in Xu Shiji's view, these are the two people who are most likely to achieve great things. He chose one of them, but definitely not now.
"The general won't choose?" Shen Ruyan glanced at Xu Shiji and said, "Or maybe the general already has a choice." It's just not time to make a decision. ”
"Not bad." Xu Shiji nodded and said: "I want to submit to Li Xin, but Li Xin killed Li Mi, which is equivalent to killing my benefactor, if I submit to Li Xin, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the world." So I want to think about Li Shimin. Xu Shiji's eyes rolled.
The general laughed. Shen Ruyan looked at Xu Shiji in disbelief and said: "Li Mi's conspiracy to rebel is itself damned, and I don't know if Li Mi was killed by Li Xin, even if he killed it, it has nothing to do with the general, and the general doesn't want to submit to Li Xin, but because Li Xin's subordinates already have Li Jing, Su Dingfang and others, if the general goes, I'm afraid he won't be able to get Li Xin's reuse." ”
Xu Shiji's face was stunned when he heard this, he showed a slight embarrassment, pointed at Shen Ruyan and said, "I still can't hide it from Mrs." Li Xin has a famous general at hand, I am just a general under Li Mi, or the head of Liyang, even if I offer Liyang, Li Xin may not be able to see my value, he already has Li Jing, how can he still care about a handsome talent like me, but Li Shimin is different, he has few generals, or there are few people who are in charge alone, and if he submits to Li Shimin, he can get more. Of course, Xu Shiji still has a sentence that he hasn't said, that is, if Li Shimin can't do it one day, and he makes a name for himself under Li Shimin, and then returns to Li Xin, with his reputation, he will definitely be reused by Li Xin. In the troubled times, the Qin Dynasty said that it is most appropriate to apply it to Xu Shiji, but Xu Shiji will be a man, and he will wrap himself with various halos in his own heart, such as being good at charity, such as knowing people and making good use of them, tens of thousands of troops in Liyang are in the hands of Xu Shiji, and when Li Mi is there, he can't command Xu Shiji at all, for example, when he learned that Li Mi disappeared after his death, Xu Shiji did not hesitate to order the three armies to wear filial piety, and immediately won the praise of the world. Such a person, whether it is a new master or an old master, will praise him.
"General, Li Shimin's messenger is here again." At this time, the pro-soldiers outside came with news again.
"Look, Li Shimin is exhausted, if I don't submit to him, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass Liyang." Xu Shiji said with a slight expression.
"So the general is ready to do it?" Shen Ruyan said indifferently.
"Yes, I offer it with Liyang, but first I have to meet this envoy of Li Shimin and see what kind of character he is. Being able to be Li Shimin's messenger, especially at this time, is probably not something that ordinary people can do. Xu Shiji was also very curious, he sent a messenger before, and he only discussed the issue of borrowing the road, and now there is another one, according to Xu Shiji's guess, this time it is probably not as simple as borrowing the road. This made him even more curious.
In the hall, a young man and a strong man stood there, their expressions did not show any nervousness, but the wind was light, especially the young man, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and there was a faint trace of weather between the walks, which made the people who observed him from a distance faintly surprised.
"General, if nothing else, this person is Li Shimin. With such a bearing and such a look, only Li Shimin can deserve it, but this person is a little strange. Shen Ruyan said with a frown.
Xu Shiji's face was stunned, he knew that Shen Ruyan also had a skill, that is, good appearance, she could use other people's appearance to observe this person's future achievements, although it was very mysterious, but Xu Shiji believed in her very much.
"I didn't expect King Qin to come in person, and he was polite." Xu Shiji didn't expect that the other party was actually Li Shimin, who came alone, this Li Shimin is really bold, isn't he afraid that he will capture him and give him to Li Xin to get a greater credit? However, because of this, Xu Shiji admires Li Shimin very much.
Li Shimin didn't expect that Xu Shiji would be able to see through his identity before he opened his mouth, and he was shocked in his heart, but also increased his good impression of Xu Shiji.
"I've heard of General Xu's name for a long time, and it's really good to see it today, and the people of the world have seen General Xu." Li Shimin had a kind face and bowed to Xu Shiji, and did not have the slightest neglect because he was the king of Qin.
"King Qin, please." Xu Shiji nodded, he himself was born in a powerful family of landlords, and he attached great importance to etiquette, which was why he didn't look down on Zhai Rang and chose Li Mi.
"General Xu, please." Li Shimin's heart is more detailed. After doing it, he arched his hand and said: "Before I came, Shimin originally just wanted to borrow a road from General Xu to let me enter Hebei and go to Jinyang, but now when I see General Xu, I really want to invite General Xu and Shimin to start a great cause together." ”
"Haha, King Qin, when today, King Tang is the strongest, why should I abandon King Tang and return to King Qin?" Xu Shiji laughed and laughed.
"Because Li Xin's famous generals are like clouds, Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Renji are all talented generals, and the generals are obedient to Li Xin, just an ordinary general, which is the icing on the cake, but I, Li Zhao, are thirsty for talent at the moment, and the Qin Wangfu needs a general like a general." Li Shimin said without hesitation.
"This?" Xu Shiji's face was cloudy, which was one of the reasons why he met Li Shimin.
"Li Xin looks very powerful, but in fact, it is just a tyranny of Qin, abandoning the family, and the people, the world is big, the world of the family, the family dominates the political situation in the world, there are many families under Li Xin's rule, and if he offends the family, it means that he can't get the support of Wenchen, how can it last long? My Li family is from the Guanlong family, although it is now in Jinyang, but it can use the Guanlong family for its own use, the people of the world are about to win the daughter of the Zheng family, and the Kanto family also extends a helping hand to my Da Zhao, so that among the gates of the world, Guan Long and Kanto are all used by my Da Zhao, and Li Xin's rule is just a castle in the air, how can it last long. Li Shimin said with confidence.
"Even so, King Qin defeated Luoyang this time, and after returning to the dynasty, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will blame King Qin! Whether King Qin can lead the troops or not is a question! Xu Shiji quickly thought of other questions and whispered.
Li Shimin had a trace of unsightly appearance on his face, but he quickly recovered and said: "If you fail here, you can make up for it on the other side." General Xu, what do you think? ”
Xu Shiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly applauded and said: "King Qin is the King of Qin, he is defeated but not discouraged, although he was defeated by Li Xin, but his will to fight is undefeated, the last general admires the heart of King Qin, if His Royal Highness is willing, the last general is willing to serve King Qin." Xu Shiji quickly understood Li Shimin's thoughts, was shocked by Li Shimin's boldness, and was also surprised and admired by Li Shimin's strategy, so he decided to join Li Shimin without hesitation.
"My meritorious work is comparable to getting 100,000 male teachers." Li Shimin was overjoyed, this is the bright future, in his most difficult time, he got Xu Shiji's refuge, Li Shimin suddenly felt that even if he was defeated in Luoyang, he was equal to victory. (To be continued......)
