Chapter 157: Return to Chang'an

Hou Junji took 50,000 troops from Luoyang to meet 40,000 war horses, looking at the black and oppressive horses, Rao is Hou Junji has seen a big scene, and he can't help but get excited at this time. Good horses, all good horses......

After meeting Fang Yiai, Chai Zhewei and others, Hou Junji knew that the original Turkic 50,000 chasing soldiers would be able to catch up in two days, but the horse team had not yet arrived in Luoyang, so it was dangerous.

"You continue to march in the direction of Luoyang, and you will go to Hebei to meet the Turkic cavalry for a while." Hou Junji said proudly.

Li Shengnan, who escorted Wei Yanran, was the eldest among them, and seemed to be the backbone of the juniors, and asked worriedly: "General Hou, didn't you bring 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet us?" Without the escort of soldiers and horses, these 40,000 war horses may not be safe. ”

Hou Junji laughed, "Don't worry, it's safe." As long as it is in my Datang territory, it will be absolutely safe. The threat of 40,000 war horses comes from the 50,000 pursuers behind him, and the general will solve the chasing soldiers and draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle. The harder I kill, the safer you will be. Don't worry about going to Chang'an......"

After speaking, he laughed and led the troops into Hebei.

Fang Er muttered: "He is 50,000 infantrymen, if we can't defeat the 50,000 cavalry behind, won't we be finished?" ”

Li Shengnan hurriedly drank to stop the goods, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." General Hou Junji is a world-famous general, and he is a rare person in the Tang Dynasty who is proficient in the art of war. The Turkic cavalry was majestic in the steppe, which was not an endless steppe, the terrain was complex, and the enemy was not adapted. General Hou's 50,000 is not a problem in the face of 100,000. ”

Hiss...... So powerful? A group of people continued to hurry, suspicious.

Everyone only knows that Hou Junji is a famous general, but there is really no concept of how powerful it is. Only Li Shengnan knew in his heart that because Hou Junji had consulted his grandfather Li Jing on the art of war, and his grandfather once commented that Hou Junji was talented and decisive, and he would become a great weapon in the future.

Two days later, Hou Junji looked at the messy official road, his face full of disappointment and depression.

Didn't you say that Jieli made a big deal and vowed to recover these war horses? How did you get here and make a U-turn? What happened? Lao Tzu's military exploits! You have run away, how can I kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions?

"If you look further, even if you trace the border Anle City, you will definitely find the traces of the Turkic cavalry. In case they go around and catch up with the horses, they will suffer. ”

Hou Junji knew that it was impossible, but his words were deliberately provoking his scouts. He took a large team of men and horses until he rushed to the city of Youzhou, and saw Chai Shao, who came back from victory, and then he understood that Jieli had actually withdrawn?

"Zhente Niang is frustrated, the alliance under the city of Chang'an and the city on the bank of the Weishui River is a great shame! Lao Tzu still thought that he would finally be able to recover some interest from Jieli today, but he let him run away. Are you afraid that you and I will be attacked from the north and south and scared away? "Hou Junji sat on the Taishi chair in the conference hall, this kind of chair was invented by Xiao Rui, and now the Xiao family's furniture store is popular in Chang'an City, and it is not unusual to have it here in Chai Shao, Youzhou.

Chai Shao didn't take it so easily, and looked at the northwest with a worried face, "No, they don't know that you are leading troops to respond." The troops were withdrawn two days earlier, which was very decisive. It should be Xiao Rui's strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle has taken effect. ”

Burst...... The tea that Hou Junji had just drunk squirted out. What? Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle? Xiao Rui's bottom salary? Isn't it mine?

"What the hell is going on?" Hou Junji's face was full of puzzlement.

Chai Shao sighed: "Alas...... Xiao Rui led a group of boys and 3,000 elite cavalry into the grassland alone. The plan was to attack the Turkic royal court and force Jieli to return to the lair, thus relieving the siege of Youzhou. ”

Hiss...... Good! It's a good move to win in the midst of danger. Sure enough, it is a strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, Xiao Rui, this kid has the guts. Hou Junji's eyes shone brightly, Rao had seen the world, and he couldn't help but praise loudly at this time.

I am not familiar with Xiao Rui and have no friendship, but this time it is for national affairs, when the enemy is on the verge of the enemy, Xiao Rui does not hesitate to take risks alone to help Youzhou break the siege, Hou Junji thinks to himself, if it is himself, I am afraid that there is no young man who dares to think and dare to do it.

The better Xiao Rui is, the more worried and sad Chai Shao is.

"Alas...... I hope they will be able to return safely. In case of a mistake, I don't know how to substitute for Song Guobus. ”

Hou Junji nodded, patted Chai Shao's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, although I am not familiar with Xiao Rui, I heard General Wei Chi say that Xiao Rui's martial arts are the best in Chang'an, and I can't hurt him when I am idle." Chang'an Xing troops 50,000 and Shanxi Li Ji also sent 50,000 troops, a total of 100,000 troops have surrounded Dingxiang City. With a wave of his hand, he can directly catch Jieli's son, and Xiao Rui will be fine at that time. ”

Chai Shao broke his fingers and counted the days, "No, according to our calculations, when Jieli sent out the army, you didn't know that we had a war horse, how could we react so quickly?" I knew you were prepared, so I wouldn't have let Xiao Rui and a group of children go into danger. ”

Hou Junji glanced at him and said angrily: "It's not your fault?" After a big victory and captured 10,000 Turkic cavalry, why didn't you send a military report? If it weren't for the family letters of several children, as well as Du Xiang's discerning decision, he would have almost made a mistake. ”

Subsequently, Hou Junji repeated Chang'an's inference, Chai Shao covered his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, "God forbid, this time it was my dereliction of duty, after this period of time, I will personally go back to ask Your Majesty for guilt." By the way, I have to come to thank Du Xiang. I heard that Du Xiang likes calligraphy? ”

Hou Junji thought for a while, shook his head and said, "If you really want to thank you, I have a suggestion." You may not know if you have been in Youzhou for a long time, Du Xiang's second son seems to have had a holiday with Xiao Rui and was repaired by Xiao Rui once. Xiao Rui is Chang'an's nemesis, and even the prince is afraid of him. ”

At the end of the point, Chai Shao instantly understood.

"Okay, since you're safe here, I'll fix it up, go around the border and take the troops back. Forty thousand war horses, hehe, well done! ”

Hou Junji is very good at doing things, and deliberately took 50,000 soldiers and horses to show off at the border, so that everyone in the grassland could see the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty, and then turned around and went back. In this way, in a short period of time, I am afraid that no one will dare to come to Youzhou again.

In the direction of Chang'an, the Youzhou emergency report was transmitted back to Chang'an, and Li Er saw the words in the letter, 'Xiao Rui and a group of young generals, wanting to follow the example of the champion Hou chasing the north', and he almost died of anger!

"Bastard, bastard...... Isn't this nonsense? Isn't this sending to death? Who is Champion Hou? Anyone can emulate? Li Er roared hysterically.

Xiao Yu and the others were puzzled, until Li Er asked people to circulate the military newspaper, and Xiao Yu passed out directly: It's over, my son! Isn't this sending to death?

And the other ministers were full of admiration.

Xiao Rui, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, although this kid doesn't understand the rules, he is very unpleasant, and even offended most of the people in the court. But at this moment, in order for Datang to harvest 40,000 cavalry, he had the courage to sacrifice himself, Rao was dissatisfied with Xiao Rui before, and he had to admire it at this time! Attaboy!

The chamberlain Lao Gao took out an ordinary letter from his arms and quietly handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is a private message from the messenger, saying that it is a private message from General Chai to you." ”

Private message? Is there a secret?

Li Er hurriedly opened it, and all the think tanks in the small study were also paying attention.

A private message is a private matter, in fact, it was Chai Shao who interceded with Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui and Wei Zheng's daughter Wei Yanran made a private agreement for life, and Wei Yanran was pregnant. After all, Xiao Rui is the one who is engaged to the princess, this matter is not in line with etiquette, and he wanted to make a contribution and come back to atone for his crimes.

Now Xiao Rui's life and death are unpredictable, so Chai Shao wrote a letter to explain the cause and effect, and at the same time helped Xiao Rui intercede, so that the emperor could open up the net, at least help Xiao Rui leave a bloodline, which is also good.

If it was usual, Li Er would definitely have the heart to kill Xiao Rui. But now, he is not half angry, only cherishing his talents.

With a sigh, he handed the letter to Wei Zheng.

"Wake up Song Guogong and ask him to help Xiao Rui prepare a dowry for Xuan Cheng, and I will give a decree to give marriage. In addition, Li Junxian was sent to lead a thousand Xuanjia troops and President Wang of Bingtai Hospital to personally escort Xiao Rui's family back to Chang'an. Directly sent to the farm outside the city for maintenance. ”

Wei Zheng looked at the letter in his hand, his face was extremely complicated, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad at this time. It seems to be a happy event for her daughter to get what she wants, but Xiao Rui, who is also a student and son-in-law, may never come back, and her daughter is about to be widowed, can it be a happy event?

Xiao Yu was woken up, read the letter, and didn't faint again, but she was sad and couldn't help crying. A group of colleagues helped persuade him and sent him out of the palace gate.

Li Er looked at the north from afar and sighed: "Inform the pharmacist of Dingxiang of the news, and be sure to capture Jieli's son." Alas...... Hopefully, it's still too late. ”

At this time, he didn't know that Xiao Rui had already stabbed a hornet's nest in the grassland, and Jieli's eldest son was not worth Xiao Rui's life.
