Chapter 7 Sheng Shi (Twelve Times) only stayed in the military camp for one night, and the next morning, Hou Junji said goodbye to Li Xu, and hurried back with the horses that the other party had given him and thirty guards from the Boling army.

♀ The ninety-three mounts were all good horses from the Turks, and they held the clearance warrants signed by Li Xu and Luo Yi respectively, and the first half of the return journey was naturally very smooth.

It has only been two days and one night, and he has already arrived at the Flying Fox Pass, and after passing the mountain pass in front, he can enter the boundary of Hedong.

None of the thirty guards from the Boling Army were left behind, and although each face was covered with dust, none of them complained.

Hou Junji wanted to try their riding skills, and changed mounts several times in the middle of the run, so as to throw everyone a little farther away.

Whenever he stopped to rest with a bit of pride, he always found that the guards lined up in a long line approaching him, unhurried.

The riding skills of these Boling children are all so good? Hou Junji was not reconciled, and tried several times, and the results were similar each time.

Someone followed him very closely, not falling an inch. There are also people who fall a little farther away, and only a wisp of smoke and dust can be seen. But every time he slowed down his mount, the guards were able to regroup in the shortest possible time.

When the team walked to Lingqiu, Hou Junji didn't have a chance to try again. Ahead is already Liu Wuzhou's territory, and there are many sentry posts, and he must support each other with the guards to get by.

But he is not without gains, and in the process of many secret battles, he has discovered some of the other party's doorways.

Not every escort was as good as their own, but they adopted a very steady marching strategy.

Two of the best riders followed him, and the other two riders were in the queue (Colortail.

Every once in a while, the head and tail of the team are swapped. In this way, no matter how much he accelerated, as long as he couldn't throw everyone away, Boling Jingqi always had a way to bring the other brothers together.

After figuring out this section, Hou Junji had to admit the fact that the Boling Army was even stronger than the Flying Tiger Army under his command, and the arrogance in his heart was swept away.

When he began to regard these people as companions, he suddenly realized that he hadn't spoken to his companions much along the way, and he hadn't even asked the names of the two Boling generals who led the team.

"Your surname?" Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to drink horses by the stream, Hou Junji walked up to the leader of the guards and bowed his hand.

The guard who took the lead was startled by his strange demeanor, and hurriedly took half a step sideways, standing up and clenching his fists,

"Don't give your surname Du, the third team of the left fifth brigade of the Boling Army's Xiao Cavalry Battalion is Du Jiucheng, and I have seen General Hou!"

"Team Du is not welcome!" Although Hou Junji is cold and arrogant, he is willing to admire people who have the ability. ♀ Stretched out his hand to support Du Jiucheng's upper body, and said with a smile.

"It's been a hard journey, brothers. Ahead is Liu Wuzhou's territory, how to go, Hou wants to hear your opinions! ”

"How to go, General Hou gave the order. The general of my family has already ordered me to wait for the general to be the head of the horse! Team Du is a real person, and without waiting for Hou Junji to finish his politeness, he immediately replied solemnly.

"That's right!" Hou Junji picked up a branch and hastily drew a map on the ground.

"According to my memory when I came, if you go about three miles over the mound in front of you, there will be a wooden bridge. Liu Wuzhou arranged for many people to collect bridge money there. If we make a detour, we'll have to walk an extra forty miles south......"

"Just run through it!" Team Du didn't even think about it, and said proudly.

"Break in? Possible injuries to the brethren? Hou Junji frowned and asked with some hesitation. If he was carrying all the elite of the Flying Tiger Army behind him, in order to save time, he would definitely have to force his way into the card.

But on the way to ask for help, the Flying Tiger soldiers who escorted him were almost killed. It is not easy to train a qualified cavalryman in these years, and if you take Brother Boling to break into the outpost set up by Liu Wuzhou, once the losses are too serious, it will not be easy to explain to Li Xu's side.

Du Jiucheng sneered a few times, and there was no fear on his face.

"General Hou, don't worry. Before leaving, the general told us that we could save time and try to save time. Tell me to organize the brethren! So saying, he shouted at a young officer under twenty years of age who was washing his face by the stream,

"Brother Xue, check the saddle and pack up your weapons! After crossing the hill, you will encounter the checkpoint! ”

"No!" The low-ranking officer surnamed Xue quickly straightened up and solemnly received the order. Then he ran away quickly, and the general ordered every brother to know.

The movements of the twenty-eight guards immediately became tense, and they began to check their outfits meticulously. After a small half-pillar of incense, the officer surnamed Xue ran to the team leader Du Jiucheng and raised his head and announced: "Team Du, the deputy of the third team of the left fifth brigade of the Boling Army Xiao Cavalry Battalion Xue Liang is reinstated, and the three brothers are ready to go at any time!" ”

"Eat first, and feed the horses some beans as well. After eating, the man rested for half an hour, and then walked the horse for half a quarter of an hour. Du Jiucheng replied with a half-salute, and then gave the second order.

Although there was only one outsider by his side, Hou Junji was the only outsider, and the deputy Xue Liang of the team still respectfully accepted the order and passed the order.

The Boling soldier, who had been instructed by his superior, took out a small bag from the back of the idle horse, poured out about half a catty of pickled soybeans that no one was willing to eat, and held it in his hand and put it to the mouth of the war horse.

♀ Waiting for the mount to be full, he pulled the reins and walked slowly by the stream, smoothing his breath and drinking water. It was as if those beasts were their own brothers, and they took good care of them.

A man who does not know how to take care of a war horse will not be a good cavalryman. Hou Junji is an expert, and after watching the actions of the Boling soldiers, he knew that everyone was a little more sure of breaking through for a while.

In addition to admiration, he also put down his shelf, took the initiative to serve the war horse with the Boling soldiers, and prepared to set off.

Half an hour later, the crowd swept through the official road that had been in disrepair for a long time, and there were only thirty-one people, but the momentum was no less than that of tens of thousands of troops.

The sentry post on the wooden bridge had been broken through by Hou Junji a few days ago, and the security had been significantly strengthened recently.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, more than 50 tax collectors immediately raised their guns and lined up in a thick wall of spears in the center of the wooden bridge.

The junior colonel who led the army raised his throat and shouted: "What person? Stop it! If you don't want to die, stop! He heard no answer, only a puff of smoke rushing towards him, getting closer and closer.

At a gallop, the Boling soldier untied his horned bow from behind his back and mounted the feathered arrow. Hou Junji didn't give them any orders, he knew that it was purely superfluous to give orders to such elite soldiers, so he raised his bow with everyone's movements.

After the sound of the bowstring, a terrible cry sounded on the wooden bridge. The bridge guards hugged their heads and scurried. Before the sound of the tragic cry spread, Hou Junji rushed into the gap of the enemy army first, collected his bow, drew his sword, and splashed a ball of blood.

Du Jiucheng and Xue Liang followed, infiltrating the gap that Hou Junji broke out, hitting horses, circling, and widening the opening.

Where had the tax collectors encountered such a battle, and they retreated from the bridge one after another. The Boling cavalry rushed through in the wind, catching up with the tax collector from behind, raising and falling with swords in their hands, leaving no one behind.

The fifty defenders of a checkpoint were killed before they could even blow the alarm horn.

The Boling army guards did not stop, and immediately surrounded Hou Junji and rushed to the next outpost. Before the lazy opponents can react correctly, shoot arrows, swing knives, break cards, and all move smoothly.

When the first alarm finally sounded, the team had re-entered the territory controlled by the Hedong people.

Three days later, they saw the walls of Lou Fu Pass from the inside. More than 200 enemies were killed along the way, and his side only paid the price of abandoning forty-five war horses and lightly wounding seven people.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who rushed to answer the news, couldn't even believe his eyes, and repeatedly looked at everyone for a long time before he said with emotion: "I heard that the Boling Army is the best in the world, but I didn't expect it to be so strong!" Junji is lucky, he has the opportunity to fight side by side with the elite of Boling! After witnessing countless miracles in a row, Hou Junji had long since stopped saying anything of admiration.

♀ He smiled and asked eagerly, "How is the situation on the shut-off?" Is the enemy still attacking so quickly? Where is the second son? Brother Eldest Grandson take me to see him quickly! ”

"The wolf rider has become the end of the crossbow. As early as three days ago, Shi must have lost the confidence to break through. Some of the Murowei people are still in love, but the morale is ......! The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head disdainfully, and in a few words, he made the recent military situation clear.

"Junji, come with me, these two generals, please also come with me to meet the commander of my family. The rest of the brothers will follow my men first to eat the war meals, and the tents, hot water, and other miscellaneous things will be arranged for you. All the guards thanked them in unison, and then went to the barracks to rest according to the arrangement of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Team leader Du Jiucheng and team deputy Xue Liang accompanied Hou Junji and went straight to see the coach of the guard. Li Shimin was waiting anxiously, and when he heard that Hou Junji had returned, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he came out of the tent barefoot.

Seeing that his henchman Ai Jiang's face was full of wind and frost, and his shape was broken, he couldn't help but brush his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and said, "Junji, you are back." I thought you were in the hands of an enemy, and I would never have a chance to drink with you again in this life! I regret that I shouldn't have filmed you on an adventure these days. God pity me, you and my brother can fight side by side again! Hearing this, a warm current flowed through Hou Junji's heart.

No matter how the second son in front of him treats others, he is like a sibling brother to himself and the eldest grandson Wuji.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down, and responded loudly: "Lao Zhao Gong is worried." Junji is fortunate to live up to its mission. ”

"I know, I know that Junji will never disappoint me!" Li Shimin was so happy that he was like a child, circling around Hou Junji and others.

"These two strong men must be Boling Yingjie who escorted you back, hurry up and follow me to the military tent to sit. Come on, take Lone's wine cup, Lone wants to toast Junji and the two strong men with his own hands! ”

"Xie Zhao Gong!" Hou Junji paused again and thanked him again. Du Jiucheng and Xue Lianghe had eaten and drunk with such a high-ranking official, and they also learned from Hou Junji's appearance in a panic and bowed down to give a salute.

"You're welcome, two strong men. Lone and your general are close relatives. Come in and sit, come in and sit. The wine will be warmed up immediately, there will be no vegetables in the army, and chew a few pieces of roast meat to satisfy your stomach! "Isn't the second son so happy that he gets carried away?

Hou Junji glanced around suspiciously, and then set his eyes on the eldest grandson Wuji. He remembered that Li Shimin's title was Zhao Gong, and he was still two levels behind the prince, and according to the etiquette law, he absolutely could not use himself alone.

Once he was caught by the official and complained, even if Tang King Li Yuan had the intention to defend him, he would have to do something to deal with on the surface.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Hou Junji figured it out, smiled, and proudly introduced: "Junji hasn't heard of it yet. Emperor Sui has abdicated the throne to the king of Tang. The king of Tang ascended the throne three days ago, and the country name is Datang. After the sage Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he changed the Yuan Wude and had already crowned the Duke of Zhao as the king of Qin and the prince as the crown prince. ”

"Congratulations to King Qin!" Hou Junji clenched his fists and bowed and congratulated Li Shimin loudly. Finally, the Li family has finally turned into a country!

As a minister of the dragon, he is no longer the humble boy that everyone looked down on before! From here on, the Hou family of Guanlong will be as noble as the Hou family of Henan.

In the genealogy of the surname Hou, the name of Hou Junji will always be written. The eldest grandson Wuji understood Li Shimin's temperament, turned his head, and quietly gave Du Jiucheng and Xue Liang a look.

Unexpectedly, the two low-ranking officers from the Boling Army were lonely and unheard, and they couldn't guess what was happening in front of them.

He just stood there like a clay sculpture and a wood sculpture, as if he hadn't heard or seen anything. A shadow quickly flashed from the corner of Li Shimin's eyes.

The congratulations of his own people are not as pleasant as the congratulations of outsiders, and he is a little disappointed, but he is not ready to meet the two little soldiers.

first helped Hou Junji up, and then said to the two Boling soldiers with a smile: "Your general was named the founder of Boling County by my father, the general of Hebei, the Shangzhu country, and the hussar general. He is the first hussar general of my Tang Dynasty, which makes countless people envious! This time, Xue Liang, the deputy of the team, finally understood a little bit of the taste, pulled the arm of the team Zheng Du Jiucheng, and first gave a military salute in the direction of Chang'an, and said

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Then he turned around and hugged his fist at Li Shimin,

"King Xie Qin!"

"You're welcome!" Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand generously,

"I have always been in love with King Boling. In the future, just be the same palace and create a peaceful and prosperous world! Come, the lonely king will pour you wine, and everyone will drink this together! The aroma of the elixir immediately filled the military tent, and before they could drink it, everyone's faces were already smoky.

A glass of warm wine fell into his stomach, and Li Shimin was about to say a few more polite words, but the two soldiers from Boling wiped their mouths very blindly, hugged their fists to everyone again, and begged in a low voice: "The two of us were ordered to escort General Hou back." Now that the task has been completed, I don't dare to stay outside for too long. Please give a receipt from His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the two of us will rush back to Boling tonight to recover our lives! ”

"Isn't the general already leading reinforcements? Where are you going to go back to your life? Li Shimin didn't expect the two soldiers to be so loyal to their duties, so he paused for a moment and asked curiously.

"Enlighten King Qin!" Xue Rail's tongue is relatively clever, and he responds according to the etiquette he has just learned,

"The army has been out for a long time, in order to prevent the elbow and armpit, Sima Zhao Ziming, under the command of the king of Boling County, has rushed back to Boling to sit in the town, I can wait to return to him! The specific movement of the reinforcements, the general of my family has already written a letter and handed it over to General Hou to bring back. The general said that you don't have to write back to him. He certainly won't receive it. Write a receipt to the two of us to prove that we can wait for the task to be completed. ”

"Oh!" Li Shimin nodded, a faint smile on his face. He didn't like the foolish behavior of the two Boling soldiers.

But with the respect of King Qin, there is no need to deal with such a low-level officer. Nodding his hand, he called the eldest grandson Wuji, and commanded in a low voice: "Write a receipt to them." And bring another box of silver cakes, and give each of them a piece of it. How many of them are in total, and no one will be left behind. Tonight, arrange a good banquet for them to wash the dust. Early tomorrow morning, you will send them off on behalf of the Lone King! ”

"Xie Qin's reward!" Xue Liang pulled Du Jiucheng and hugged his fists with a smile. Silver is very uncommon among the people, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for at least 1,500 yuan.

The two soldiers from Boling could hear it clearly, but they did not show a trace of the surprise that Li Shimin expected.

They didn't even care how much a piece of silver bread weighed, looked at each other, and added,

"Xie Qin's reward. There's no need for a wine feast, just prepare some jerky for us. Let's leave tonight, or we can report the situation here to Sima Zhao as soon as possible! ”

"That's fine!" Li Shimin raised his eyes and scanned each other up and down.

"This king is not reluctant to force two strong men! In the future, if there is any need, they will come to the king. With a wave of his hand, he allowed the two unscrupulous guys to step back.

Then he grabbed the jar and poured himself a full one. The hot liquor ran down his throat and poured into his stomach, igniting the flames that filled his belly.

The two minions were so rude, and the general of the family didn't know how to be arrogant. My father actually named this kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful as the king of Boling County, and promised to let him be in charge of the military affairs and civil affairs of the entire Hebei in the future, which is really raising tigers!

However, this tiger is still very cautious, fighting with the Turks in front, and does not forget to send his henchmen back to sit in the lair.......

"King Qin is very angry?" Seeing that Li Shimin's face had turned black, Hou Junji asked disagreeably.

"He sent you back, and I owe him a favor now! He sent troops to save me, and I owe him a favor. I'm angry, what can I do if I'm angry? He is now in collusion with his eldest brother, with the support of the prince behind him. I'm just a king, how can I compare to the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty! Hehe! Scold! Good, what a hussar general, what a founding king! Li Shimin slammed the wine cup to the ground, and the broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere.

"I heard a sentence in General Li's tent this time. King Qin is willing to listen to me! Seeing that Li Shimin was angry like this, Hou Junji was not in a hurry, smiled and picked up the broken wine cups on the ground, then stood up straight, and said unhurriedly.

"Speak!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and his anger was swept away. What can make Hou Junji's attention must be extremely important military intelligence.

Now that I know more about Boling Army, I will have more ways to subdue Li Xu in the future.

"They say that the sky above the head is as big as a man's heart!" Hou Junji smiled and repeated in a low voice.
