The person who came was wearing the armor of Qianniuwei, and his face was urgent.

Qin Huaidao didn't know the other party, and asked in some surprise, "How did you find here?" ”

"The brothers are looking for adults, and they are lucky to be lowly in their duties, and when they meet someone who says they have seen adults here, they come to try it, and ask your lords to go with their humble duties as soon as possible, and the saint is afraid that he will be in a hurry."

"What is the saint looking for this official for?"

"Lord Hui, I don't know the order, the prince and the princess."

"Let's go."

The order that came out of the palace Qian Niuwei naturally didn't know the reason, and he was afraid that something would really happen if he was looking for it so quickly, Qin Huaidao hurriedly walked in the direction of the palace, He'er hurriedly followed, a little panicked, and asked, "Young master, do you want the slave maid to go back to the house first?" ”

"It's not safe for you to go back alone, just wait outside for a while." Qin Huaidao said casually, thinking in his heart what Li Er was looking for him, could it be that he wanted to track down the Cui family again? It doesn't make sense.

It's not going to let Cui Shihai go, right?

Hurrying all the way, he hurried to the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City, He'er couldn't go any further, and shouted: "Young master, the slave maid is waiting here, you can go." ”

"It's fine, don't run around." Qin Huaidao agreed and hurried into the city.

There was an attendant who was already waiting, and when he saw Qin Huaidao coming over, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Qin, please go with the little one, the saint is in a hurry." ”

"What's wrong?"

"The small ones don't know."

Qin Huaidao saw that his tone was very tight, so he didn't ask any more, and followed him to the Ganlu Palace, and the chamberlain went in to report, and after getting permission, Qin Huaidao entered the hall, and saw Xu Shiji with a gloomy face, Li Jing was also there, thinking about something with solemn eyes, both of them were sitting, and behind them stood the three Cheng Chumo brothers and the two Yu Chi Baolin brothers, all with injuries.

First, Li Er was watching a recital, his brows tightened.

In this formation, I'm afraid it's not a small matter, Qin Huaidao hurriedly stepped forward: "Minister Qin Li, see the saint!" ”

"Here we go." Li Er responded, put down the recital and continued: "The pharmacist said that you have excellent points in military affairs, and you are clever in your use, and you have one heart, which is really good, General Xu has lost the battle, and the pharmacist suggested that you come over, and I also want to see if you really have the ability." ”

Qin Huaidao chuckled in his heart, two or three thousand hundred cavalry cavalry actually suffered a defeat? Or is it led by Xu Shiji, a famous general, with the assistance of the three brothers Cheng Chumo and the two brothers Yu Chi Baolin, all of whom are brave generals, how can this fail? Didn't you let Wang Tongbiao run away?

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao hurriedly said: "Weichen's nonsense should not be praised, how could General Xu be defeated?" As he spoke, he looked at Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji's old face turned red, and when he saw that Li Er didn't stop him, he said: "I'm ashamed to say it, and I blame the general for being careless and being ambushed, if it weren't for the soldiers' lives, the five of them would have protected them to the death, this life has been lost on the grassland, and the crime deserves death. ”

"Really went to the prairie? What's going on? Qin Huaidao asked.

"Last time, I said goodbye, I would have led my troops to chase me to the grassland, and I was about to succeed, but I suddenly killed 20,000 Khitans, and I was caught off guard, so I could only desperately break through." Xu Shiji's words were said without the face.

Qin Huaidao was stunned, how could a Khitan person emerge?

Li Jing saw Qin Huaidao's doubts in his heart, and explained: "At the beginning of the empire, the Eastern Turks were rampant and oppressed the Khitan, the Holy One couldn't bear it, gave support, and made an alliance, and the Khitan assisted the Empire as a pioneer in attacking the Eastern Turks, and the Eastern Turks were destroyed, and the Khitan and the empire got along well, and the Holy Lord gave the leader of the Khitan Tribal Alliance, Mohui, "Twelve Gods, Twelve Banners, and Twelve Drums." ”

"Then why are they still sending troops?" Qin Huaidao asked curiously.

"The Khitan He Dahe Division, the Siwandan Division, the Fufuyu Division, the Yuling Division, the Rilian Division, the Pi Xuan Division, the Li Division, the Tuliu Yu Division, and other eight tribal alliances, the empire does not interfere in the election of the Khan, and there is no need to pay taxes, treat each other with sincerity, the conditions are favorable, and it is said that it is impossible to betray, which is also what the old man is puzzled about." Li Jing explained.

Qin Huaidao really didn't know that there were eight tribal alliances in the Khitan, and some of them came back to it, in the past, there were Eastern Turks who didn't dare to mess around in the Khitan, and they were willing to be pioneers, in the final analysis, in order to survive, now there is no pressure, the court does not interfere in the election, there is no need to pay taxes, spoiled children, ambitious, how can there be no dissent after a long time?

The Khitan nation is located in the northeast, with Changbai Mountain, black soil, long strategic depth, you can run if you can't beat it, plus the weather is cold, the Tang soldiers are not adaptable, and there is no way to pursue it deeply.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Huaidao asked, "Do you know which tribe made the shot?" ”

"I don't know, it was almost dark at the time, and the other party didn't play the flag." Xu Shiji said.

Li Jing's eyes lit up, and he asked rhetorically: "You mean that it was not the Khitan Khan who did it, but a certain tribe did it privately?" If this is the case, then the one who sent the troops must not be the leader of the alliance, He Dahe, but the Sivandan Department, which is about the same strength, and this is to use the sword of the imperial court to kill people and help him seize power and usurp the throne. ”

Xu Shiji was also thorough at all, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the Wang family promised a certain tribe to persuade the other party to send troops to rescue, and then provoked the imperial court to send troops to attack the Khitan to settle accounts with He Da Hebu, and the tribe supported by the Wang family stabbed the knife at a critical moment, killed the leader He Da Hebu, and then surrendered to the court and became the new Khitan Khan?" If this is the case, the Wang family may have a lot of plans. ”

Everyone's faces have changed greatly, and if the Wang family can support a tribe, they can control it as a puppet, or even replace it and become a big disaster for the court.

Li Er thought for a moment, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, "Huaidao, do you also agree with this proposal?" ”

"No-Shengshang, it doesn't matter who it is, there is no need to rack your brains to analyze, as long as you know that it is the Khitan, for the Khitan, they have eight tribal alliances, and for the imperial court, there is only one, that is the Khitan, today the Wang family can support one tribe, tomorrow there will be another family, only by completely eliminating it can we never have future troubles." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, he was born in the military, so he naturally hopes to expand his territory.

The phrase "complete annihilation" instantly ignited the fire in everyone's hearts.

Li Er is the emperor immediately, he is not afraid of war, he also wants to open up the territory and expand the territory, leave a name in history, and have some intentions, Xu Shiji and Li Jing are soldiers, and they hope to fight on the battlefield and make immortal achievements, as for Cheng Chumo and others, they can't wait to go to the battlefield to wash away their shame and prove themselves.

However, Li Er quickly calmed down and said, "This matter can be discussed later, and it must not be passed on." ”

"Yes!" The crowd hastened to answer.

Xu Shiji said unwillingly. "Shengshang, this enmity is not shared, and this wind cannot rise, the minister implores to lead the troops to battle and take the Khitan for the Shengshang." ”

Li Jing hurriedly said: "No, it's freezing now, the Tang soldiers are not adaptable, and the timing is not right." ”

"Is that all?" Xu Shiji's face was gloomy and terrifying, like a fierce beast that would go crazy at any time.

Li Jing faced it calmly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not that you don't fight, but the time has not come, now that it's freezing cold, you can't let the brothers die in vain." ”

The words were like spring breeze and rain, calming Xu Shiji's anger.

A generation of famous generals show their style!

Xu Shiji is also a famous general, just now he was just blinded by anger, he quickly came to his senses, bowed, and immediately said to Li Er: "Shengshang, as long as you go on the expedition, the minister is willing to be a vanguard and old soldier, and atone for his sins, this failure is unforgivable, and the minister is willing to accept any punishment, and there will be no complaints." ”

"Xu Aiqing is serious, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and it is good to be able to fight out of the encirclement and bring back nearly half of the soldiers." Li Er comforted, looked at Qin Huai and said, "The pharmacist said that you are acting in a strange way, this matter involves the Wang family, and it is also related to you, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Can't you ask the guilty king family directly?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"If Wang Tongbiao is not caught, how will Wang admit it?" Li Er asked rhetorically, a little disappointed that Qin Huaidao actually asked such a meaningless question, and looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't be impatient. ”

After speaking, Li Jing looked at Qin Huaidao again and asked, "What does the guilty Wang family say?" ”
