Chapter 405: The Siege

Guo Xiangyu couldn't laugh when she heard it.

"How can it be so exaggerated? What do you think of my dad as? My dad just wants you to invite a respectable person to come to your door. ”

A respectable person? Li Yuntian can understand it when he hears it, after all, their Li family has fallen into the middle of the road, although he has now entered the Shenji Camp and has a bright future, but now after all, he is just a small general, so it is normal for the Guo family to ask him to invite a respected person to come to the door in advance to make Xiangyu have a long face, the only thing that makes him feel embarrassed is that now their Li family's relatives and friends have any virtuous and respectable people? However, Li Yuntian has already made up his mind, for the sake of Xiangyu, even if he kneels down and begs, he also asks a respected person to go to the Guo family to propose marriage, and he has experienced all the hardships, and he is only short of this trembling, no matter what, Li Yuntian nodded solemnly.

"Xiangyu, don't worry! I will definitely invite a respectable person to your house to ask for a kiss! ”

"Brother Yun, then I'll go back first! I won't be able to come out and see you again in the future! ”

Guo Xiangyu reluctantly said that if the marriage is decided, then Guo Xiangyu will have to stay in the boudoir to prepare for marriage, and he will not be able to see Li Yuntian again, Li Yuntian said affectionately.

"Well, when we say goodbye, it's the night of the candles in the cave room, and you will be my lady!"

Guo Xiangyu bowed his head shyly.

"Well, hopefully that day will come soon!"

Seeing Xiangyu's carriage gradually moving away, Li Yuntian was so excited that he really wanted to shout, but now that he was the general of the Shenji Battalion, he couldn't lose the system of the Shenji Battalion.

"Mother! Mother! I am back! ”

Li Yuntian jumped off and ran into the courtyard in a hurry.

"My son is back? What are you so happy about? ”

The old lady couldn't help but ask when she saw Li Yuntian's flushed face with excitement.

"Mother, the Guo family has agreed to my marriage with Xiangyu!"

Li Yuntian said excitedly, the old lady was slightly stunned, and said in surprise.

"Lord Guo agreed again?"

Li Yuntian nodded again and again.

"Well, well, Lord Guo agreed, just waiting for me to come to the door to propose!"

Why did such a big change occur, the old lady's heart is the same as Spiegel, on the one hand, her son is really promising, and on the other hand, she is stained with the light of Huatinghou, Huatinghou is like thunder for Chang'an people, she never thought that one day her family would be able to have a relationship with Huatinghou.

"Amitabha! God bless! That's great! Now that the Guo family has agreed, you are not too young, you should also prepare and come to the door as soon as possible! ”

The old lady said happily, in fact, there was a sentence she didn't say, she was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and the marriage would change again, as long as the marriage was decided, the Guo family would not be able to repeat.

"Mother, don't worry, I will arrange it as soon as possible!"

Li Yuntian agreed, in fact, he was also a little worried in his heart, and he was highly respected! He kept wondering in his heart, who should he invite?

"Mother, I won't eat at home at noon, I made an appointment with my colleagues to drink together!"

In the end, the son is older, he is also an official, and there are more entertainments, the old lady instructed.

"Okay, but you drink less and come back sooner."

"Don't worry, mother!"

Feng Lishun and the others had been waiting in the restaurant for a long time, and when they saw Li Yuntian walking in quickly, they couldn't help but ask with concern.

"How? Has anything changed in the Guo family? ”

Li Yuntian said happily.

"Xiangyu said that the family has agreed to our family affairs."

"Brother Li, congratulations!"

"Brother Li, this wish has come true, congratulations!"

"It's such a big day, it's time to have a few more drinks to celebrate!"

Li Yuntian said as he sat down.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, today the little brother will be with him to the end!"

"Here, let's do this first!"

"Drink together!"

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yuntian's excited mood finally calmed down a lot, and he couldn't help but think of the Guo family's request.

"There happened to be something, please ask a few brothers to help me consult, and the Guo family also made a request, asking me to invite a respected person to come to the door to propose. I have a few candidates, but I can't make up my mind, one is my distant uncle, who used to be a county magistrate in his early years, and now he is idle at home......"

Li Yuntian even said a few people, his father was also a former Sui official, and later attached to the Tang Dynasty, but he was also an official to the third grade, and he was prominent in the clan for a while, but his father died of a violent illness and died early, which made the family fall into the middle, Feng Lishun laughed when he heard it.

"Brother Li, why did you miss someone?"

Li Yuntian wondered.

"Who is missing?"

Feng Lishun said with a smile.

"Of course it's our Hou Ye!"

Li Yuntian said in surprise.

"Our lord? But our Hou Ye's age ......"

Feng Lishun said with a smile.

"Our Hou Ye is young, but what's wrong with being young? If nothing else, let's just say that hundreds of thousands of dollars were donated to build the road back then, and who wouldn't praise that Changsheng Road? Does this count as JCDecaux? Our Hou Ye has made meritorious deeds, and they are all great achievements, don't they have a reputation? The reason why the Guo family happily agreed to the marriage is that on the one hand, Brother Li, you are talented, and on the other hand, it is not because of the appreciation of the Hou Ye, so I think that although the Guo family did not say it explicitly, this respected person refers to our Hou Ye! ”

"Brother Feng's analysis is thorough, Brother Li is a fan of the authorities!"

Li Yuntian also suddenly realized.

"Brother Feng's analysis is reasonable, it's just that I have repeatedly troubled Hou Ye before, and I am already grateful in my heart, if I trouble Hou Ye again, I will really feel uneasy!"

Feng Lishun said with a smile.

"Master Hou is so open-minded, you might as well ask for a try."

Walking out of the restaurant, although he was blown by the cold wind, some alcohol surged, but Li Yuntian was very sober, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Feng Lishun was right, the Guo family just wanted him to ask Hou Ye to propose, Li Yuntian, who had thought about it all night, came to Li Jiazhuang early in the morning, wandering around the Li Mansion, before Hou Ye repeatedly helped, he was already grateful in his heart, but now he has the cheekiness to beg Hou Ye, will Hou Ye feel that he has to make inches? But for the sake of Xiangyu's happiness, he doesn't seem to have any other choice, how can he speak? Li Yuntian felt a headache holding the tree, Li Yong and the guards just came to Lijiazhuang from the Xishan Courtyard when he saw Li Yuntian holding the tree on the side of the road and didn't know what he was doing, Li Yong was surprised.

"Li Yuntian, what are you kid running around to hug the tree trunk in the morning?"

This sudden sound startled Li Yuntian, and he hurriedly let go of the big tree, expecting Ai Ai Dao.

"Master Hou! The last general has something to ask the Hou Ye! ”

Li Yong didn't have a good airway.

"If you have something, you go in and say, what are you holding the tree here?"

"Last, I'm a little embarrassed!"

Li Yuntian period Ai Ai Dao.

"Don't mother-in-law, hurry up!"

Li Yong said with a little complaint.

"Xiangyu said that the end will find a respected person to propose marriage together, and the end will meditate on a respected person?"

When he first heard this word, Li Yong was also stunned, because when he thought of being highly respected, he thought of bad old men like Li Jing, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling, but after thinking about it carefully, he Li Yong was barely a respected person in Chang'an, at least much more reliable than Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong.

"I'm reluctant to get in touch with morality, wait for you to tell me on a certain date, I'll go with you!"

Li Yuntian said excitedly.

"Thank you, Master Hou! Thank you, Lord Hou! ”

"Okay, what a big deal, hurry up and go home and prepare, don't hold the tree here in winter!"

Li Yong joked a few words, then got into the carriage and left, he still has to enter the palace to face the saint! Li Yuntian bowed deeply towards Li Yong's distant back, and remembered his great kindness and kindness. Gao Changguo, the cold wind is biting, the shouting of killing is in the wilderness, in this vast land, a big war has come to an end, the royal flag of Gao Changguo has fallen to the ground, falling in the blood, Hou Junji waved his spear and shouted.

"The whole army pursues ~ captures the king of Gaochang alive~"

"Capture King Gaochang alive~"

"Capture King Gaochang alive~"

The army of Gaochang has been defeated like a mountain, and the king of Gaochang is taking the lead in escaping, the impassioned when he came, all have been left behind, and now the king of Gaochang has only one thought, that is, to quickly flee back to the royal city, and then pack up the gold and silver and flee to the Western Turks for refuge, and wait for the army of the Tang Dynasty to retreat, and then ask the Western Turks to help him restore the country, however, what makes him tremble in his heart is that the Tang army behind him is in hot pursuit, he really wants to turn around and shout and ask, are you not tired? You have traveled thousands of miles from the Tang Dynasty, you have worked expeditions, you have braved the cold to fight all the way, and now you have won the war, why are you still like wolves and tigers? Won't you just stop and rest? Wouldn't it be nice to give me a chance to escape? What made him regret it was that in order to show his bravery to the people of Wangcheng, the place he chose for the decisive battle was very close to Wangcheng, of course, part of the reason was because he didn't want to trek too far, because the weather was too cold and the march was too tiring, but now, he regretted that his intestines were blue, and he didn't give him a chance to pack up and escape!

"Quick! Fast! Open the gates! ”

The palace guards shouted, the city gate opened, and the king of Gaochang rushed in first.

"Quick! Close the gates! ”

King Gaochang shouted.

"Your Majesty, there are still many soldiers who have not entered the city!"

A general persuaded.

"Didn't you see that the Tang army was killed? If they don't close the gates, they will rush in! Close the gates! ”

King Gaochang shouted violently. The city gate was slowly closed, and some of the scattered soldiers were locked outside the royal city, they looked at the closed city gate and suddenly despaired, the Tang cavalry who caught up did not know how to be merciful, chasing these Gaochang soldiers to slash and kill, the defenders on the royal city saw this scene angry and unwilling, and had relatives, the Tang army that came after finally slowed down, the royal city was in front of them, as long as the royal city was broken, the Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed, a small Gaochang royal city, not to mention Chang'an, Luoyang, even the Tang Dynasty general state city can not be compared, looking at this royal city, Hou Junji couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity, if only there was a cannon, it's easy to break the city!"

Even if there is no cannon, it is not difficult to break the city, but after Hou Junji tried the power of the musket, he became more and more curious about the power of the artillery. Su Dingfang said with a smile.

"Actually, our Hou Ye also thought about whether to bring an artillery, but he thought that Gao Changguo was too far away, so he didn't bring it in the end."

Hou Junji was very sorry when he heard it.

"It's a pity, doesn't the firearms superintendent have ox carts for transporting artillery? It's not a hassle to bring one. ”

In several battles in a row, Xue Wanche and other generals have been impressed by the musket, and they are more looking forward to the artillery, especially those generals who have not seen artillery, and they heard the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion talking along the way, and their saliva flowed down, but unfortunately, there is no artillery! However, even without artillery, it is not difficult to capture the Gaochang Royal City, Xue Wanche said with a smile.

"Even if there is no artillery, it will not be difficult to capture the Gaochang Royal City."

Hou Junji laughed.

"That's right, the king of Gaochang is scared, the morale of the Gaochang soldiers has been lost, and it is not difficult to break the city."

"Today, Ben Shuai is going to attack the royal city, and he will give an order to surround three city walls and leave one city wall for King Gaochang to escape."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, King Gaochang was obviously frightened, and it was estimated that he did not have the determination to live and die with the city, leaving a city gate, King Gaochang might not be able to resist the temptation and flee to the Western Turks.

"Xue Wanche, your 3,000 cavalry are ambushed ten miles away, and you captured King Gaochang alive in one fell swoop."

Hou Junji ordered.

"Yes!"

Xue Wanche immediately ordered three thousand cavalry to fly away, if the king of Gaochang was captured alive, it would definitely be a great achievement, of course, the premise is that the king of Gaochang escaped from the city, as long as the king of Gaochang escaped, then even if he chased the Western Turks, he would capture the king of Gaochang alive, the Tang army dispersed, surrounded the three city walls, the book of soldiers has clouds, ten are surrounded, five are attacked, and the times are divided, although the strength of the Tang army is not as many as the soldiers who defend the city, but it is brazenly surrounded by the walls on three sides of the royal city, a moment ago, The whole royal city is still immersed in the atmosphere of celebration, everyone is waiting for the triumph of the king, never expected to wait for the defeated soldiers who fled back in embarrassment and the Tang army that came after them, just like a basin of ice water poured from the head in the cold winter wax moon, everyone in the royal city trembled, the Tang army actually surrounded the entire royal city, can the defenders hold the city? King Gaochang, who entered the city, gave a stern order.

"The order goes down, and the city gate must be guarded."

After giving the order, King Gaochang immediately rushed into the palace and commanded repeatedly.

"Quick, gather all the palace guards and cavalry, and pack up all the king's gold and silver treasures."

The generals next to him were shocked when they heard this, is the king going to abandon the city and flee?

"Your Majesty, we have more soldiers than the Tang Army, as long as we hold the city, we will definitely be able to repel the Tang Army, we have enough food, and the Tang Dynasty will not be able to hold out for long when we come from afar."

When King Gaochang heard this, he kicked the general and scolded.

"If we have food, will the Tang army have no food? Won't they rob if they don't have food? Does a large number of people work? Isn't it a loss if there are more people? ”

"Don't you know how powerful Tang Jun is? All of them are like wolves, they are not human beings, and Tang Jun's snapping things, who can stand it? ”
