Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 143 At First Sight of the Clock Face

Fate is so wonderful, the Turkic army where the second prince is located first discovered the Tang army where Hou Junji is located.

Hou Junji and others also quickly discovered the Turkic soldiers, the two sides did not start the battle at the first time, but stayed in place tacitly, Hou Junji did not take the initiative to attack because his troops were under the hillside at this time, and the Turks were on a flat hillside, if they attacked rashly, they were likely to suffer heavy losses.

The second prince was naturally scared at this time, he saw the familiar steel knife in the hands of the Tang soldiers, and thought of the appearance of the steel knife when it tore their armor, and couldn't help but stumble, just when the two sides were in such a stalemate, Hou Junji guessed that the Turks should have been defeated at this time, maybe they were already exhausted, so he ordered the archers to prepare.

The Turks also saw that the Tang army would not give way, and they could see the small movements of the Tang army clearly, and the nerves of the Turkic soldiers were tight, for fear that they would die so inexplicably.

Hou Junji saw that the Turks who were extremely arrogant in the past, and when he saw that he didn't even dare to ask questions, he concluded that they had lost the battle in Jingzhou, and immediately ordered the arrows to be released.

Under the fire of ten thousand arrows, the Turks really did not fight back, and the second prince immediately ordered: "Give up the carriage and run to the mountain!" ”

Saying that, he ran into the mountain without looking back, the second wave of the Tang archers' offensive soon arrived, these Turks really became targets, although most of them still ran up the mountain, but under the attack of three waves of arrow rain, the Turks lost thirty percent of the soldiers, and the king, who had been quietly watching in the carriage, also knew that there was no hope at this time, but he was also relieved, knowing that his life should be saved.

The Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, naturally they would not vent their anger on themselves, as long as they saw Li Shimin, plus some ministers in the court, their lives would definitely be saved, and at most they would pay tribute in the coming year.

Hou Junji saw that tens of thousands of Turks re-entered the mountains and forests and disappeared, and laughed and said: "Lao Cheng is really good, these Turks are beating these Turks, and they don't even dare to let go of a fart when they see a few brothers!" ”

The commander next to him also sighed: "Yes, I have never seen the Turks so embarrassed, Datang Wansheng!" Will we still chase the general? ”

Hou Junji thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Don't chase it, the situation in the mountains is complicated, their carriages are all left, if you insist on going over the mountain, it's really impossible to say how many will survive!" ”

The commander also thought of the name of the mountain not far away, which might become a nightmare for the Turks.

Hou Junji did not delay anything, and ordered the soldier to collect the horses and vehicles left by the Turks and then continue on the road.

After that, the road was very smooth, and Hou Junji took the three big men of Gaochangguo to the city of Jingzhou.

Cheng Yanjin originally heard the spies say that a large number of troops were coming, and thought that the Turks were coming to fight back again, but it didn't take long for the spies to report that it was the military flag of the Tang Dynasty, and Cheng Yanjin was also a little confused.

It wasn't until he saw Hou Junji riding a horse walking in front that Cheng Yanjin realized that Hou Junji had come from Gaochangguo in a big circle.

Cheng Biting Jin Kaicheng greeted him, and Li Chengqian also followed behind, not caring at all about Cheng Biting Jin's appearance as the master of the house, and returning to the appearance of a rich son in the past, if it weren't for the fact that everyone had seen him slash the Turks with a sword, no one would dare to believe that this small body could burst out with such huge energy.

Hou Junji walked to Jingzhou City with his soldiers, and when he saw that there were no people inside, and the city looked tattered, he also sighed: "It seems that an unimaginable war has broken out in Jingzhou City!" ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at the blood stains on the ground that had not been cleaned, and said with some sadness: "Yes, this battle is better to be defended, otherwise what you have to face at this moment is the bow and arrow of the Turks!" ”

Hou Junji patted Cheng Jin's shoulder and said: "I knew that Lao Cheng could guard it, when I came from Yizhou, the daylilies were cold, it was better to go around from Gaochangguo, did you see the carriage behind, it was a good treasure in it!" ”

Wei Chigong on the side also took over: "Who said no, or your brain is good, after I arrived in Jingzhou, the battle was over, and after three or four days of hard labor, I cleaned the corpse, dug a pit and burned it!" ”

Hou Junji smiled even more happily, thinking that his decision was wise enough, but Li Chengqian opened the fan on the side and said: "What is the treasure that General Hou said, can you let Gu take a look and pick two!" ”

Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian, saw that he still had bruises on his face, and knew that he was not comfortable in this battle, so he thought about it and said: "It's not impossible for His Highness to pick and choose, but this matter still needs to be discussed with the crown princess!" ”

Hou Junji's expression was very weird, but Cheng Yanjin immediately knew what he meant, and raised his eyebrows, meaning to send himself a past at night, but Hou Junji immediately replied with a negative expression. Cheng Yanjin was a little annoyed, why are you still so slamming the door when you pick up a leak.

But I heard Hou Junji say: "In the carriage in front are the prince and princess of Gaochang Kingdom, and in the back carriage are the kings of Gaochang Kingdom, they were invited by me to Chang'an!" ”

Hou Junji's eyebrows fluttered, and Cheng Yanjin immediately understood what he meant, Gao Changguo privately allowed the Turks to cross the border, and let them raid the important border passes of the Tang Dynasty, this account must be calculated, at this time, Hou Junji brought all the important people of Gao Changguo back to Chang'an, which must be a great achievement.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but sigh: "They all say that I am an old Cheng thief, and now it seems that no matter how thief I am, I can't be a thief but you Hou Junji!" ”

Hou Junji ignored him, turned his head to look at Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested?" That Princess Gaochang is a great beauty, and you will send it to your house tonight with a word! ”

This is not only Li Chengqian listening, but also the Gao Changguo trio in the carriage, the old king heard that His Royal Highness the crown prince was nervous, he knew that Li Chengqian was suffering from a leg disease, and he belonged to the kind of depression, if his daughter promised him, he might not live long, and he thought that Li Chengqian had no right to speak in the Tang Dynasty, so at this time he was unwilling to let his daughter serve Li Chengqian.

Ju Ruanyu also secretly looked at Li Chengqian, who was dressed in a gold silk suit, at this time Li Chengqian and the soldiers who came and went were completely out of place, each of the soldiers exuded the smell of sweat and earth, Li Chengqian seemed to have a faint aroma around him, and she didn't know how Ju Ruanyu smelled it, in short, she felt that Li Chengqian's face was very attractive to her.

Li Chengqian heard Hou Junji's words, turned his head to look at the carriage, and happened to see Ju Ruanyu's eyes, Ju Ruanyu lowered the curtain in a panic, but heard Li Chengqian say: "Forget it, General Hou, I thought that you were pulling a gold and silver treasure luminous cup in this car, and I wanted to ask for a few pieces to play, he loves money the most, this time he has the greatest credit for defending the city in Jingzhou, and he wanted to find something to give him as a reward, but Jingzhou City has nothing now, so I have to ask the general for it!" ”

Hou Junji only then knew what Li Chengqian meant, and he knew very well who he was, and Hou Junji was not very satisfied with such a person by Li Chengqian's side, so he thought about it and said: "What the prince said is very true, Xiao Liu come here, take His Royal Highness the prince down and pick a few random loot in the back, as if he had never seen it, and cross out these things in the account book after returning to Chang'an!" ”

Li Chengqian smiled happily and thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Hou!" ”

After speaking, he took Xiao Liu to the back to find the baby.

Hou Junji tilted his head and looked at Cheng Yanjin on the side and said, "Did you hear that?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calls me Uncle Hou! ”

Cheng Biting Jin snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know how many times Uncle Cheng has called me these days, what are you angry about!" ”

Hou Junji shook his head and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, and said as he walked: "I didn't hear it, I see that you don't seem to have any oil and water in Jingzhou this time!" ”

Cheng Yanjin was a little helpless, he who was guarding the city naturally couldn't compare with Hou Junji, who had walked around in other countries, and sighed and said: "It's good that you're here, I plan to let you leave some soldiers here to guard, I will take my brothers to pursue the victory and go straight to the nest of the Turks!" ”

Hou Junji shook his head, and hurriedly stopped him and said: "No, the Turks are located on the plateau, and our soldiers will be dizzy when they go to their territory, and they can't exert their combat effectiveness at all, and you can't get any benefits from taking the army over!" ”

Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Do you just let them go?" ”

Saying that, Cheng Biting Jin slapped the table and made a loud noise, and the satisfaction hidden in the corner was frightened, and he woke up in a trance to look at Hou Junji and Cheng Biting Jin, and said in a daze: "Huh? What a situation! Am I dreaming! ”

Cheng Yanjin is still in a very tolerant state, in the past few days, he has been strictly requiring everyone to dispose of corpses, as well as cleaning the city, and he didn't sleep until late at night every day, knowing that he was running here to make up for sleep and was woken up by himself, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, you go back to the house and sleep, don't catch a cold here!" ”

Chengxin stood up in a daze and wanted to leave, Hou Junji looked at Chengxin and felt familiar, and thought of Cheng Yanjin's attitude was so good, so he thought of Chengxin's identity, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Is it satisfying?" Stay and join us in discussing what to do with the Turks! ”

I was satisfied with hearing that the Turks were fighting hard, but I slept late last night, got up early this morning, and only ate a little gruel in the morning, so I was already hungry at this time, and said a little embarrassedly: "General Hou, General Cheng, you two wait for me for a while, I'll go to a thatched house, get some food, and come back soon!" ”

Hou Junji looked at the satisfaction that had disappeared without a trace, and said to Cheng Jin: "Old Cheng, why do you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good, my vision is right, who else dares to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court for so many years!" ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at Hou Junji angrily, if Li Shimin hadn't asked these generals in private, Hou Junji would have supported Li Chengqian so blatantly? And Li Shimin said not to show it, only Hou Junji is the opposite.
