Chapter 144: Chang'an in action

In Chang'an City, Du Ruhui did not find anything useful in the military department, only one was irrelevant, saying that the Qinghe Cui clan took action and donated a batch of grain and grass to Youzhou to help the border soldiers and civilians protect their homes and defend the country.

Cheng Yanjin helped to check together, and said with a loud smile: "Look, I'll just say it." There is no war on the border, if there is, can Youzhou not send an army to report over? The military newspaper is much faster than the family letter. It must have been discussed by these boys, and all the lies they made up had to be beaten! ”

Du Ruhui has a doubt, or an inexplicable expectation, in case this thing is really good? Not to mention the dazzling achievements, it is the 10,000 war horses, which is amazing for Datang.

"By the way, since there is a family letter, then Xiao Rui should also have a family letter, he will never make up stories in a child's play, I will go to Song Guogong to ask."

As a result, Du Ruhui was very disappointed, and Xiao Rui did not mention the war in the letter he came back from.

But after such a toss, the sons of several generals, the story of making up stories in the family letters spread, and the court and the martial arts took it as a joke, saying that these little grandfathers also learned from Xiao Fuma to write a script. made Fang Xuanling and others very embarrassed.

This matter seemed to pass by with a smile, and no one except Du Ruhui paid much attention to it.

It wasn't until half a month later that a news came from the dark pile in the north that the Turkic Jieli had mobilized troops, and the Khan Jieli personally raised an army of 100,000 and killed it to the east, saying that Youzhou had robbed 20,000 Turkic horses. For a time, there was a sensation in the government and the opposition.

Emperor Li Er was furious, "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? Jieli wanted to use troops against Datang, but found such a lame reason? What am I afraid of? Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals! ”

At this time, Du Ruhui stood up, "Your Majesty, maybe this matter is not Jieli's excuse, it may be true." ”

"Keming, are you confused? Youzhou robbed the Turkic war horse? Not to mention whether Youzhou has this ability, even if there is, 20,000 war horses, such a big thing, why didn't Chai Shao come with a military report? Li Er asked rhetorically.

Du Ruhui shook his head, "Your Majesty, do you know that the strange family letter they received a few days ago?" ”

"A letter from home? I've heard that a group of boys teamed up to tell a lie. How? Are you convinced? 10,000 infantry captured 10,000 cavalry, Arabian Nights! Li Er didn't believe it either.

Du Ruhui nodded: "At first, the minister didn't believe it, but now it seems that we can't help but believe it." ”

"How?"

"Your Majesty, the letter said that it was the master of the horse who commanded Ruoding and arranged a good show to invite you into the urn. In the end, 10,000 infantry captured 10,000 enemy cavalry. And with these 10,000 captives, make a deal with the Turks, let them exchange 10,000 war horses for people. Isn't that so? Phase? Du Ruhui turned his head and asked Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Yes, the dog's letter is unknown, but the letter General Qin received has an explanation. At first, we used to be a group of kids who didn't know how to learn and made up a kidnapping and blackmailing drama. Now Ke Ming said, if it is true, then there are 20,000 war horses in Youzhou? ”

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Yes, the secret stake we buried next to Jieli said that Jieli personally raised an army of 100,000 to recover 20,000 war horses." It's not such a coincidence, is it? The numbers are exactly right? ”

Li Er and the others were all stunned, "How is this possible?" We have all fought for half our lives, 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry? How? What about Chai Shao's military report? ”

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to do it." Why didn't you send a military report, maybe it's too fanciful, the court doesn't believe it, or maybe the horse master has other considerations, but now is not the time to pursue it. Your Majesty, if Jieli wants to attack the Tang Dynasty under an excuse, it will not be Youzhou, but Chang'an. ”

"Since he went to Youzhou, it shows that Youzhou has a value worthy of his visit. Weichen thought that 20,000 war horses were definitely worth his trip. Therefore, we must take action to rescue Youzhou. ”

Li Er pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said, "Okay, just what Keming said." Regardless of whether Youzhou is true or not, Jieli's 100,000 army to the east can't kill his own people, it must be going to my Datang. We can't leave it alone. How to deal with it, you come up with a plan. ”

Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Youzhou is too far away, and the imperial court is now gathering troops to support, I am afraid that it will be beyond the reach of the whip." If we want to form a favorable rescue, I am afraid that there is only one way to save Zhao from Wei Wei, so we sent troops to the north to attack Dingxiang and make a situation of attacking the Jieli royal court, and it is expected that he Jieli will definitely return to the lair. The danger of such a secluded state can be solved. ”

Du Ruhui and others clapped their hands and praised: "Cai! Fang Xiang said that the sky was broken. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "But there is a problem, there is not only the Jieli Royal Court in the north, but also the Liang Shi who jumps the beam. Usually he has his back to Jieli, thinking that he has the support of the Turks, so he occupies the land as the king, thinking that our Datang will not dare to touch him. Now he has become a stumbling block on our way north, if you want to enter Dingxiang City, you must first get rid of Liang Shidu, according to reliable information, Liang Shidu has become more and more prosperous in the past year, and there is a suspicion that the tail will not fall. ”

Li Er said coldly: "Liang Shidu? It's just a clown. Now that Jieli is leading the troops away, who will support him? It just so happens that by the way, I can kill him first, and I can also let Jieli see the strength of my Datang. The herald issued a document appointing Li Ji in Taiyuan as the general manager of the Dingxiang Road march, and recruited 50,000 troops to attack the Turks in the north. ”

When everyone agreed to retire, Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, found Emperor Li Er in the small study and took out a secret letter.

Li Er thought that Xiao Rui had secret information to explain the situation in Youzhou. I didn't expect to open the letter and look at it, I couldn't cry or laugh, it was not about Xiao Rui.

In Anle City, the scouts sent out by Xiao Rui also replied, Jieli really personally raised an army of 100,000 to kill him, and everyone was amazed at Xiao Rui and Chai Shao's foresight, it was like burying a secret stake around Jieli.

"Don't talk nonsense, Fang Er, Yu Chi Baoqing, Chai Zhewei. The three of you boys followed the horse army together, and more than 30,000 war horses arrived safely in Chang'an City, and the three of you made a great achievement. There is a slight slip-up, and I'll break your legs one by one when I go back! ”

Chai Zhewei cried: "No, brother-in-law, you don't want to lie to us. You're clearly trying to get rid of us. We're going to stay and fight too! Let's not be greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Yu Chi Baoqing said loudly: "Yes, I'm not leaving, I want to be with you!" ”

Fang Er didn't talk much, but at this time he also had the courage to say: "Brother Xiao, I have learned the boxing technique you taught me, and I can go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Xiao Rui gave a burst of chestnuts one by one, "The three of you don't have the slightest combat power, staying will only distract us from taking care of it." If you still want to call me Brother Xiao in the future, then listen to my arrangement, it's not life and death, and we don't stay for you. ”

A few people still didn't leave.

Xiao Rui's tone softened, and he sighed: "In this way, three younger brothers, do you Brother Xiao a favor, the war horse has thousands of elite guards, and nothing can happen in Datang." But my brother's family has no one to protect them, so the three of you help to escort Shengnan and Yanran back to Chang'an. ”

Li Shengnan, who has been working as a guard, is reluctant, "Don't, I'm going to stay and fight with you to kill the enemy!" My kung fu is better than Cheng Huaimo and them, and it's not a burden to you. ”

Xiao Rui really wanted to cover his eyes, why could he not persuade one more?

I had no choice but to take my wife's hand and say softly: "Katsuo, you are obedient once." Yan'er is pregnant, and without your protection, she can't go to Chang'an. ”

What???

The eyes of everyone present widened and they were full of surprise. Everyone knows that Wei Yanran is obsessed with you, but you don't even have a marriage contract, so you get pregnant?

Xiao Rui turned his head and glanced at him, and scolded with a smile: "What do you see?" Envy? If you want to have a child, you will marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to it. Lao Tzu left the battlefield to kill the enemy, what happened to the lady who left a queen? ”

Cheng Huaimo whispered: "Brother Xiao, I haven't married a daughter-in-law either......"

"If you're afraid of death, get out of here. Stay by my side, and I won't let your kid die in front of me. If you want to sleep with a girl and keep a seed, I'll let the Metropolitan Governor arrange it for you. ”

I'm here, ahem, no, I didn't mean that......

Cheng Huaimo made a big face.

Li Shengnan stared at Xiao Rui with resentment in his eyes, kicked him, and whispered: "I'll leave a day later, and I'll give you a baby!" ”

Burst......

Everyone laughed and dispersed, Xiao Rui's teeth hurt, he didn't expect Mrs. to be so straightforward, it's over, let these boys laugh to death.

But in addition to laughing, everyone admires Xiao Rui, the two ladies never give up, and the critical moment is not a burden, but can stand up and help him keep a queen, which is love.
