Yun Chu was inseparable from military affairs, so Li Ji went to Xu Jingzong's camp.

Xu Jingzong's camp occupied only a corner of the camp of the crown prince Li Hong, and it was as inconspicuous as the person he was now.

Others may care about Li Ji's prestige and age, Xu Jingzong doesn't care, as an eighteenth bachelor, Xu Jingzong is not much worse than Li Ji's Lingyan Pavilion's twenty-third ranking in terms of status.

Therefore, Xu Jingzong, who had a white beard and white hair, looked faint after seeing Li Ji, without sadness or joy.

Li Ji was not polite, and said directly: "Yun Chu said that Gongsun Changhua is a guest here with you?" ”

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Ji and said, "No." ”

Li Ji said: "I'm only responsible for bringing Gongsun Changqi back." ”

Xu Jingzong said: "People are not here, how can I let you bring them back?" ”

Li Ji shook his head and said; "Hand him over to me, he's of no use to you."

Xu Jingzong said: "The old man has never seen Gongsun Changqi. ”

Li Ji pondered for a moment and said to Xu Jingzong: "Does Duke Xu know where he went?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "Last night, the beasts outside the camp howled all night and were not at peace, has Yinggong's sleep been disturbed by these beasts? ”

Li Jidao: "The old man is different from Xu Gong, he has no distractions, as long as his head touches the pillow, he can fall asleep immediately, even if someone beats the drum in his ear, he can't help the old man." ”

Xu Jingzong said enviously: "When the old man is old, he can't help but think of the past, when the past always haunted the old man, making it difficult for me to sleep, and with the noise of wild beasts, living has become a hard work." ”

Li Ji said: "In this case, wait for the old man to get rid of those noisy beasts for Xu Gong, and give Xu Gong a quiet night." ”

Xu Jingzong arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Ji smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After leaving the camp of the crown prince Li Hong, Li Ji's guards found Gongsun Changli three hundred steps away from the camp, at this time, the armor was still draped on Gongsun Changyan's body, that is, it was more messy, his legs without the protection of the armor had been gnawed into white bones by the beasts, and the upper body protected by the armor was intact.

When the soldiers carried Gongsun Changli to Li Ji, Li Ji said to Gongsun Changhua: "Who harmed you?" ”

Gongsun Changqi said angrily: "Xu Jingzong." ”

Li Ji shook his head and said, "No, let's say it again." ”

Gongsun Changhua said with tears in his eyes: "Xu Jingzong." ”

Li Ji sighed and said, "If it is Xu Jingzong, your Gongsun clan will face the disaster of annihilation." ”

Gongsun Changhua laughed miserably, and only said after a while: "That's Yun Chu." ”

Li Jidao: "It's wrong, let's say again, if it's Yunchu, after returning to Chang'an, your Gongsun clan will be defeated immediately, and within two years, the Gongsun clan will have no place to stand in Chang'an." ”

Gongsun Changhua's expression immediately paused, and he said weakly: "Is it me who is drunk and lost?" ”

Li Ji nodded and said, "As it should be, you also killed two generals of the Gongsun clan." ”

Gongsun Changhua, who was poured a bowl of ginseng soup by his own soldiers, burst into tears, and blood finally flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he reluctantly stretched out his hand at Li Ji and said: "Yinggong, I am so wronged, Xu Jingzong strangled my thigh with a wire to prevent the blood from flowing, and let those beasts eat my legs."

Xu Jingzong asked me why I killed his grandson, and I said it wasn't me, and he didn't believe it. ”

Li Ji shook his head and said: "Don't be wronged, you don't have the ability to be a good family, you deserve such a crime, if it weren't for the friendship with your father this time, the old man wouldn't have gone this way." ”

Gongsun Changhua said mournfully: "Ying Gong save me." ”

Li Ji shook his head and said: "If you don't die, your younger brother Longbow will not be able to inherit the title, and it will leave a great hidden danger for your Gongsun clan, as long as you live, neither Xu Jingzong nor Yun Chu will let you go."

Only if you die, Your Majesty may not demote your family's title for the sake of your unjust death. ”

After Li Ji finished speaking, he turned around and left the tent, leaving only Gongsun Changqi and his younger brother Gongsun Longbow. “

After a stick of incense, Gongsun Longbow came out of the tent with red eyes, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Ji and said, "Ying Gong, my brother is gone." ”

Li Ji said indifferently: "Put the coffin in the burial, you go to Your Majesty to spread the bad news." ”

Gongsun Longbow gritted his teeth and said, "My brother's hatred ......"

Li Ji looked at Gongsun Longbow in disgust and said, "Your brother died at your hands, what kind of hatred do you have, what hatred do you have." ”

Gongsun Longbow lowered his head deeply, and he couldn't see what the look on his face was at this time.

After Li Zhi heard the bad news from the Gongsun clan, he sighed for a long time, he always felt that this Gongsun Chang Lance should be useful, who knows, he died so reasonably, so that he couldn't find the slightest difference.

Wu Mei saw the emperor's expression, so she leaned over and said: "People who have no ability, even if there is a bizarre way to die, the concubine is not strange, but I didn't expect Yun Chu, who has always been relatively peaceful, to do things so coolly." ”

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said: "It's not Yun Chu, from the first time Gongsun Changhua started to provoke him, and he avoided it, it is enough to prove that Yun Chu didn't do this, otherwise, as early as when Gongsun Changhua didn't respect the fire ban in the army and drank wantonly, Yun Chu would be able to punish him, in that case, even I couldn't say a word about him." ”

Wu Mei said suspiciously: "Who is it if it's not Yun Chu?" ”

Li Zhidao: "After visiting Xu Jingzong, Ying Gong turned around and found Gongsun Changhua, you say, who is it?" ”

Wu Mei said: "Xu Jingzong has died down all these years, why did he do this kind of offending thing again?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Don't pull it on the prince." ”

Wu Mei smiled: "Didn't the concubine think a little more? ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know if you have found out, the Gongsun clan seems to have swallowed this evil breath, but he didn't think about coming to find me to give justice to his family." ”

Wu Mei said with a smile: "Your Majesty's justice may not be what Gongsun Changgong who came to report the bad news just now wants, their family is just a dead Gongsun Changqi, and it is not that there are no other heirs." Once you have given their family enough fairness, this Gongsun Longbow will definitely not be the patriarch of the Gongsun clan. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I originally wanted to carry out a grace order in their house, but now I can't. ”

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi for a long time, and finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Your Majesty is going to push the grace order in the honorable man?" ”

LI Zhidao; "It's not good for the nobles to be too noble, they will only embezzle the state funds without restraint, how good it is to push the grace order, a duke is dead, and then according to the number of his descendants, a few more viscounts and barons will be sealed, so that a big family can be immediately dismantled.

When those viscounts and barons die, their family is basically not noble.

This damn grandson Chang Lance didn't even give me a chance to experiment. ”

Wu Mei said: "Isn't he already dead?" ”

Li Zhi said: "The death is too unjust, if I push the grace order on his family again, those nobles will definitely not be able to stand it, and they will collectively oppose my approach......"

Standing on the high ground at the mouth of the valley, looking at the valley filled with gunsmoke without saying a word, the sound of killing at the mouth of the valley shook the sky, and there were constantly people in khaki clothes charging out desperately.

These people are unmatched, even if their clothes have been ignited by fire oil bombs, they still charge desperately, as if their lives are worthless.

Looking at the cavalry outside the valley as a reserve, he decided to wait a little longer, and after the blood and courage of these unfatal warriors were consumed by fire oil bombs and thunder fire bombs, it was a good time for the cavalry to charge into the valley and sweep.

Under those earthy yellow clothes, there is thick armor, but the armor on these armorers is not so neat, iron armor, leather armor, cloth armor, all kinds of armor.

The fire oil bomb fell from the air, and then shattered, and immediately, an orange-red fire rose on the ground, accompanied by the fire appeared thick black smoke, the fire exploded in the crowd, and in a moment, a sea of fire could be created, and those traitors in the fire were like fish falling into the oil pot, and after a few jumps, they became a burning human-shaped torch.

Looking into the distance, there are as many as six valleys that are also smoking.

This was the result of 12,000 men in the forward battalion who were busy for eleven days.

From the scouts discovering the enemy's tracks, to the blockade of this mountainous area, to the division and encirclement, these six valleys in Liangshan are the last hiding places for these thieves.

Now, on the frontal battlefield, there is basically no enemy who is the opponent of the regular soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they can only take advantage of the night to raid like rats.

For this, Gentle lost nearly two hundred men, and the heaviest losses were the sluggish baggage soldiers.

Gentleness waited until the flames on the thieves were extinguished, and the cavalry jumped off their horses and entered the valley with spears in hand for the final sweep.

The roads in the valley are rugged, not suitable for war horses to enter, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty now have the largest number of cavalry, and many times, they have to dismount to fight.

Gentleness also entered the valley, and he also did not ride a horse, and the armor on his body was no different from the armor of the soldiers around him, and even the helmet that the soldiers liked very much was removed by Gentleness.

He is not the kind of person who thinks he is invincible in the world like Xue Rengui, between good looks and safety, he gently chose safety without hesitation.

He learned from Yun Chu that some guys with good archery skills, who opened their bows three hundred steps away, still had the possibility of shooting their bodies through the gaps in their armor, and if those people used the three-edged armor-piercing heavy arrows used by the generals of the Tang Dynasty, even armor would not be able to protect themselves.

Other soldiers may think that this is a legend, but Gentle has seen four of them, and all four of them have the ability to shoot a bow and arrow from a distance of 200 paces to take his life, and it is effortless.

With a whistle, the soldiers who had been hiding in the bushes on the top of the mountain also immediately stood up, and they slowly climbed down from the top of the mountain to the valley at the same time.

It's not that he's ruthless, it's because he's a really kind and benevolent person.

When a man dies, everything is silent.

Fear that people are alive will attract more killing.
