When Asahiko finished dealing with the chores around her and could finally go to bed, the eastern sky had slowly begun to brighten. The treated wound is still very painful, and the old wound suffered in Liaodong a few days ago has also begun to itch, the sound of cicadas outside the window is endless, and the smell of herbs in the room is also lively. But these are not the reasons why he can't sleep, Xuzi stared out the window **night* (forbidden books please delete) * (forbidden books please delete) two eyes, like two burning fires.

The resolute appearance of the master when he left made Xuzi feel uneasy. In his memory, Master Yang demanded his great Confucianism with "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change color", even in the face of life and death enemies, he would use politeness as his armor. But this time, the master didn't say anything goodbye, and jumped directly on the war horse.

"As a teacher, I have accepted your heart, and your reputation has been completed!" In retrospect, this last sentence seemed to imply some kind of ominous outcome. Asahiko forced herself to close her eyes and not think about the worst. But every word the Master said last night was clear in his heart. Following the clues revealed in the words, the Master's way is already within reach.

Several times I wanted to turn over and get up, and rushed to the suburbs to find my teacher. Several times I forced my impulses down. More than three hours have passed, and no matter which path the Master chooses, he has already gone far. The old man's kind smile is destined to become a memory in his life, whether it is life or death, goodbye is never fate.

"At least, I didn't do anything wrong!" Asahiko sighed and comforted herself helplessly. In the county school, the master has always taught him to be an upright, kind, courageous, and knowledgeable person, and his behavior last night did not turn his back on the master's teachings. Thinking like this calmed his mood a lot. The state of the whole person gradually broke away impulsively and slowly returned to reason.

He needs to hurry up and think of a way to put the disappearance of the captives in a perfunctory way. On the way back to the city last night, Zhang Xiu had already woven a relatively complete lie, convincing Wang Qijin and his cavalry that the elderly captive was just an ordinary soldier who had been slashed by Xuzi because he refused to tell the truth about Li Mi's whereabouts and tried to snatch the horse and escape. And Wang Qijin and others did not express any doubts about this lie. After all, rebellion is a crime with a wide range of implications. Killing people who are related to certain families, or who know too much about things, is one of the best means to protect the family interests and personal future of certain people. Asahiko was not the first person to do such a thing, and never will be the last.

"Wu Yan can be promoted to two levels to make up for the lack of a captain. Anyway, there are currently not enough generals in the army. As for Wei Ding and a few of them, let Zhang Xiu find them after dawn, each of them will be promoted to a level, and they will be pulled into the pro-corps to listen to them! Xu Zi was thinking in his heart, and was ready to use money and official positions to gather people related to this matter. The best solution is to find an opportunity to kill people, and as a general, it is easy for him to send a few small soldiers to death. But Xu Zi felt that this was unfair, Wu Yan and the others just wanted to get ahead, just like he himself did more than two years ago. Given these people bounties and positions, they should think that they have been paid fairly for their work.

But Yuwenshi and that pass are not easy, and Xuzi has always been jealous of this friend who is like a poisonous snake. He would definitely guess some clues, and he would not believe Zhang Xiu's explanation. As for what he will do with this handle, it all depends on his mood.

Will Yu Wenshi investigate this matter to the end and expose it to the imperial court? Asahiko wasn't sure. Although Yuwen Shi and several times in front of him said that he wanted to repay his kindness, he had already learned the way of repaying the favor of the Yuwen family, and it was better for a smart person not to accept this kind of repayment.

"Whatever he wants, I have a clear conscience anyway!" After thinking of many ways, but couldn't find a feasible solution, Xuzi decided to carry it to the end. and Yu Wenshi and twice lived and died, he didn't believe that the other party was still trying to force himself to a dead end.

Things didn't turn out as badly as he thought, and after the big victory, Yuwen Shiji was too busy to pay attention to the trivial matter of a captive going missing halfway. After the two of them took their staff, big and small, to register all the prisoners; Warehousing of all seized materials; Count everyone's military exploits clearly, and ask the court for rewards for their merits; After reassigning and reorganizing the more than 4,000 cavalry brought by Murong Luo and the new and old brothers under his command, the time was already on the afternoon of the third day after the war. Without waiting to sit down and catch his breath, and hearing the scout's report, Wu Benlang had driven Chen Ling's reinforcements to the east of Liyang ten miles.

"General Chen's position is above you and me, let's go out of the city to greet you!" After listening to the report, Yu Wenshi stood up and discussed with Li Xu.

Li Xu had also heard of Chen Ling's name in the army, and knew that this person had the merit of leveling and destroying the flow (Note 1), and he did not dare to slack off, so he thought about it and said: "Old General Chen is a senior master, so you and I should naturally go out of the city to greet him." It's just that the defense of Liyang City can't be neglected. ”

At that moment, Yuwenshi and He Xuzi sent generals, led by Li Anyuan and Murong Luo, and stayed in the city to garrison. As a precaution, the western, northern, and southern gates were closed, leaving only one east gate for the army to enter and exit. Then, the two of them each took their own soldiers and greeted Liyang.

After only two or three miles, Chen Ling's general flag has already appeared on the official road. When the old general heard that the rebels had been repulsed, he was very surprised, jumped off his horse, took the hand of Yu Wenshiji, and praised loudly: "The horse is indeed the tiger of the gate, and the old man heard that the thieves are powerful, and rushed here to grab the credit in the starry night." I didn't expect it to be late, and I didn't even get half a cent of oil and water! "Say it, laugh.

The soldiers under Chen Ling's command also stepped forward one after another, praising the achievements of the Yu scribes and strategizing. For a while, the good words rolled in, and the praise of the Yu scribe and his face were flushed. Finally, when everyone took a breath, Yu Wenshi took Li Xu's hand and introduced him to everyone. "This time to break the enemy, thanks to Li Lang's outstanding martial arts and good scheduling. I'm just a supervisor of the army, and I just occasionally give advice, and you praise it, and people deserve it! ”

Only then did Chen Ling and the others "discover" that in addition to the supervising army in the Xiongwu Battalion, there was also a Lang general in charge, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with a smile. Li Xu's military position and seniority did not have an advantage, so he had to take the initiative to salute everyone.

"Tiger Benlang General Li Xu, welcome all the generals!" Xuzi clenched his fists and stood solemnly, hiding the unhappiness in his heart under a polite appearance.

"It turned out to be General Li Lang, who bravely ran through the three armies and broke through the ten strongholds of the Goguryeo people in Liaodong, no wonder the rebels returned under Liyang City." Chen Ling and his generals received Xuzi's military salute and solemnly returned the salute. Everyone looked up and down at the tall and burly young man in front of them, and they were very curious.

They didn't mean to despise Xuzi on purpose, since the emperor personally gave him a gold medal of exoneration and crowned him a loyal and brave uncle, no one in the Great Sui Dynasty knew Li Xu's name. But according to rumors in the army, this person is just a brave and unscrupulous man who likes to charge ahead when fighting. Such a person can capture Liyang with thousands of new soldiers, and can repel Li Mi, who has the reputation of a wise man, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Therefore, the only explanation for this is that there is a wise man who is comparable to Li Mi by the side of Manghan, and from the analysis of the current structure of the soldiers in the Xiongwu Battalion, this wise man is naturally none other than Yu Wenshi.

"The 70,000-strong army of traitors can be defeated thanks to the lives of the soldiers, and the timing is just a coincidence. Li acted conscientiously, which is not a credit! Asahiko smiled and replied lightly.

The old general Chen Ling listened to Li Xu's answer and looked at him a few more times. The more I looked, the more I found that the rising star in the army in front of me had a calm and calm bearing. "This kid is not exactly a reckless man, but his temperament is really a little worse!" He secretly praised in his heart, asked a few words about the loss of Liyang City, and covered up the embarrassing atmosphere in front of him.

After asking, everyone learned that two days ago, the Xiongwu Battalion had created a second miracle in Liyang. It turned out that everyone thought that the reason why Li Mi withdrew was largely because he had to leave with the whole division when he learned that reinforcements had arrived. Unexpectedly, with thousands of Xiaoguo and 20,000 soldiers in their hands, Yu Wenshi and Li Xu would completely defeat the enemy who would commit the attack. Although Li Xu modestly said that the timing was coincidental, but the complete victory of killing Li Mi and Han Shicao and escaping from the wilderness cannot be described only by the word "luck" in any case.

Immediately, Zhongsu will put away his contempt and walk side by side with Li Xu and others, discussing the specific details of the offensive and defensive battle of Liyang while walking. Yu Wenshi and his tongue are skillful, and the whole process coming out of his mouth is naturally wonderful. Especially the first battle for Wengcheng and the final cavalry raid battle, it was simply a life-and-death reversal at the moment of victory and defeat, if it were not for the high morale of the soldiers of the Xiongwu Battalion, the two main generals were calm and calm, and the entire Luoyang battle situation had to be rewritten. As for Murong Luo's feat of killing at a critical moment and crushing Li Mi's army, it was naturally said by Yu Wenshi that it was a strange move arranged by him and Xu Zi in advance, closely linked, and every step was exquisite, and Li Mi and Han Shixu couldn't help but be fooled.

Li Xu is stupid and can't say so many subtle strategies. Whenever the generals turned their attention to him in order to maintain the atmosphere, he tried to briefly talk about the specific defensive arrangements of Liyang City and the specific sources of these moves. After listening to the wonderful story of Yu Wenshi and then using Xuzi's specific measures to refer to it, they instead got a serious impression of him.

It's just that this impression is too far from the rumors in the army. When someone found out, they suddenly became alert and took the initiative to keep a distance from Xuzi. Some people admired Xuzi's bravery and took the initiative to exchange their views on the entire battle situation with him.
