Li Ji did not object, in this situation, it was impossible for them to run, and Huo Gang let the caravan go, which also met his needs, after all, there were many people, and he was not very suitable to show his identity, in this case, these news were easy to leak out.

"Yes, Chief." Gongsun Lin immediately spoke.

"Yes." Zhao Qi also hurriedly bent down and saluted.

Hearing that Zhao Qi had no problem, those guys hired by Zhao Qi naturally stopped glaring at each other, and after their caravan left, Huo just looked at Li Ji with interest and asked, "This gentleman doesn't know where he came from?" ”

"From Datang." Li Ji didn't hide it, but said it very happily, because these things, if Huo Gang was willing, it would be easy to find out, and in that case, the relationship between them would be easy to stalemate, and now there were no other outsiders around, so Li Ji simply said it.

"Li Li? From Datang? You can't be sent by Li Er, right? Huo Gang subconsciously spoke.

As soon as Huo Gang's words came out, he sensitively noticed that a trace of astonishment flashed on Li Ji's face, although this astonishment disappeared quickly enough, but Huo Gang also caught it, yes, Huo Gang didn't expect that he really guessed correctly.

In fact, if it weren't for the words of Li Er in Huo Gang's mouth, it is estimated that Li Ji's slightest stunned would not have appeared, mainly because Huo Gang was called .......

In fact, although Huo Gang guessed casually, it was also well-founded, first of all, these people around him at present, that is, the Tang Dynasty, would attach so much importance to him, such as Gaochang and other countries, to be honest, they don't have that much foresight.

They are more of a corner of the country, and in the case of Datang, it is unlikely that the people of the Li clan in Longxi can enter and exit Yumen Pass at will, and there is no need to make such a big detour from the west side to these places.

There are no secrets in these places, and they are disguised as people who follow the caravan, so it is even more impossible to find out any secrets, and only Datang has these needs. Especially after he wrote the letter and teased Li Er, it was not unimaginable for Li Er to send someone to investigate him.

However, with the name Li Li, Huo Gang looked at Li Ji strangely, and then said, "Li Li? Your Excellency, isn't it Li Ji, Li Maogong? ”

The reason why Huo Gang guessed that it was Li Ji was because Li Ji in history would naturally not be a meritorious achievement, but Li Tao. There is a power behind this traditional Chinese character, and this is what can be linked to this, of course, it may also be Li Jing.

After all, there are only a few people with the surname Li, but Li Jing's words ...... It seems unlikely now, because Li Jing's status is already very high now, and now Li Ji in the early years of Zhenguan is not so conspicuous, and his position is not so high, and the probability of Li Ji's appearance is much higher than Li Jing.

Of course, in fact, in Huo Gang's opinion, the possibility of Li Ji is also very low, but when Huo Gang said Li Ji's name, the consternation on Li Ji's face could not be hidden.

"Really." Huo Gang was also a little dumbfounded, it turned out that this was a historical celebrity, and Huo Gang at this moment was also curious, this was the first time he really saw a famous person in history since he came to this world, and he was also a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, An Xinggui is also counted, but An Xinggui is not a celebrity, and Huo Gang is not interested in him.

"Li Ji has seen Leader Huo." The other party had already guessed it, and Li Ji simply didn't hide it, but simply arched his hand at Huo Gang and saluted, which can be regarded as an official recognition of his identity.

"General Li Ji doesn't have to be polite, if General Li Ji wants to come here, he can tell me directly, no matter what General Li Ji wants to see, I can bring General Li Ji here, there is no need for this, after all, it's not safe, right?" Huo Gang said with a slight smile.

Seeing this scene, Huo Zheng and the others immediately put away their knives.

"Huo Zheng, prepare three horses for General Li Ji." After Huo Gang finished speaking, he turned directly to Huo Zheng and said.

"Yes." Huo Zheng waved his hand, and someone quickly pulled over three horses behind him, and when he came out, Huo Gang and their horse team were carrying spare horses.

Li Ji directly arched his hand at Huo Gang: "Thank you, Leader Huo." ”

After the horses were brought over, Li Ji and the three of them simply turned over and got on the horse, and after getting on the horse, Li Ji hugged Huo Gang and said, "I don't know how Leader Huo recognized Li?" Li is not famous in Datang, even some officials in Chang'an have never heard of Li's name. ”

Li Ji's words are not an exaggeration, if all the officials in the vicinity of Chang'an are counted in this period, there are really people who don't know Li Ji, and now Li Ji is really not as famous as he imagined, and Li Ji is famous later in the war to eliminate Jieli and defeat the Eastern Turks.

The current Li Ji has not yet been crowned the Duke of the Kingdom.

His official position is not so high, otherwise, he would not be here.

"I want to know naturally, General Li Ji is polite, and no one can erase General Li Ji's merits to the Tang Dynasty." Huo Gang also complimented the other party, but he already knew it in his heart, and it seemed that his letter still had a great impact on Li Er.

Otherwise, Li Ji, who is very important to Datang, would not appear here.

And Li Ji didn't panic too much when he saw him, which shows that Li Ji is probably ready to meet him, and the reason why he is here is nothing more than that he wants to get to know the big man thoroughly before meeting.

"Leader Huo is polite."

"So let's talk to Riverbend." Huo Gang said with a smile.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Li Ji nodded.

Entering Hewan Town, Gongsun Lin here had already sent someone to prepare a relatively clean felt tent in advance, Huo Gang and the others all sat down in this felt tent, and the Yi Nan and others who followed Huo Gang didn't know who Li Ji was, they really didn't know.

If it was Li Jing, they probably knew, but Li Ji and they didn't know it, and what Huo Gang said just now was also Li Er, and he didn't say Li Shimin, so it's normal for Yi Nan to not know.

However, this person obviously came for Huo Gang, so Yi Nan and the others had to leave, because in Yi Nan's opinion, this should be a very confidential matter.

"You don't have to go out, since you are ready to completely join the Han, then we will be a family from now on, and there is nothing that you can't know." Huo Gang said in a calm tone.

Li Ji looked at Yi Nan and the others curiously.

I have to say that Huo Gang's words moved Yi Nan and the others a little, because compared to Jieli, Huo Gang really didn't treat them as outsiders, and they all felt in their hearts that their decision was not wrong.

"That subordinate might as well be respectful." Yi Nan also simply saluted. After following Huo Gang to visit in the past few days, Yi Nan has completely made up his mind, especially after seeing the situation in the Huo Ci River Valley, they can no longer take their eyes off.

They have never seen such a rich steppe at all.

After Yi Nan and the others sat down, Li Ji paused for a moment, and then spoke: "Leader Huo, I shouldn't have said this, but I brought our Majesty's order this time, so I still need to keep it secret." ”

Li Ji arched his hand at Dongfang as he spoke.

"Don't worry, let me introduce you, this is the leader of the Xue Yantuo Tribe, Yi Nan, these are the leaders of the Xue Yantuo Tribe, and the leader of the Yi Nan Department has decided to lead the entire Xue Yantuo Department to join the Great Han, so they are the high-level of my Great Han, and there is nothing that they can't let them know." Huo Gang said in a calm tone.

"Poof...... Cough...... cough ......" Li Ji was directly choked by his own saliva, he glanced at Yi Nan dumbfounded, and then looked at Huo Gang and said, "This ...... Is Leader Huo serious? ”

"What's the point of me lying to you? The leader of Yi Nan, this is the secret envoy of His Majesty Li Shimin, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji and Li Maogong, General Li is no worse than Li Jing. Huo Gang smiled and introduced Yi Nan as well.

"Hiss......" Yi Nan couldn't help but take a deep breath, this ...... The leader really has a close relationship with Datang, it seems that the leader of Huo Gang is really ready to make a move on Jieli, in Yi Nan's opinion, Huo Gang can unite with Datang, which is clearly because Jieli attacked Datang at the turn of last autumn and summer!

If the two sides joined forces, fortunately they made the decision early, otherwise, once Datang and Huo Gang were ready, their Xue Yantuo Department would definitely be Huo Gang's main direction of attack!

The visit in the past few days has made Yi Nan understand that it is simply impossible for their Xue Yantuo Department to resist Huo Gang, and these elite soldiers under Huo Gang's leader are simply naked slaughter in the face of them!

Yi Nan They are all extremely happy, but what they don't know is that Li Ji is also extremely happy in his heart at this moment, Li Ji is glad that he made this decision and came to see Huo Gang's territory in person, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know about this matter.

Xue Yantuo's Li Ji knows that it is one of the important large tribes of the Eastern Turks, with a population of more than 200,000 people, if Xue Yantuo's department joins Huo Gang, it means that Huo Gang's strength will increase sharply, which also means that Jieli's strength has weakened sharply, then, there must be a battle between them Datang and Jieli!

Li Ji suddenly remembered the letter that Huo Gang sent to Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin and Huo Gang really met and discussed this matter, or if the two sides sent envoys, then Jieli would die! Li Ji dared to say this now.

However, Li Ji quickly remembered another thing, that is, the contradiction between Huo Gang and An Xinggui...... However, if Huo Gang can be united, then An Xinggui ...... For Li Er, it's not that he can't be sacrificed.

Li Ji could think of what kind of decision Li Er would make, but Li Ji would not say such a thing, as for An Xinggui, how could he not be tired of settling down in Liangzhou? It's just that in addition to Anjia, other people in Liangzhou can't stabilize the entire Liangzhou, so Li Er can't move.
