In Yunzhou City, after receiving Li Jing's letter, the Metropolitan Governor Li Ji's face was ugly, and as expected by the champion Hou, he was tricked. But there is one thing that makes Li Ji puzzled, why did the old handsome Li Jing, and even all the Tang generals including himself, all of them not see Jieli's poisonous plan, but Xiao Rui, a young man, could see through it? Is he really that much taller than everyone else?

Not really.

There is a way to care about chaos, and everyone involved in this war wants to rescue the prince. In other words, the safety of the prince needs to be put in front. Only Xiao Rui is an exception, it doesn't matter whether he likes Li Chengqian or not, but he will not involve a big war of hundreds of thousands of people on a child.

Others are very noble to be the prince, but he may not. If Li Chengqian dies, Datang can't die.

Li Jing and others were first aided and would not let go of a glimmer of hope, so they were willing to accept the appointment, and then they fell into the scheme. If it's Xiao Rui? Hehe, we are not in a hurry, we will destroy all the armies of your Jieli, and the prince will naturally get it, and now it will be stored in your hands for the time being, and you will not dare to hurt it.

"Jieli said that he wanted the whole army to be dispatched, and it was clear that he wanted to transfer us to Dingxiang, should we go?" Li Ji asked Xiao Rui for his opinion.

Xiao Rui pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Go, wouldn't if you don't go, won't he underestimate us?" Originally, he wanted to catch him off guard when he was in the middle of a fierce battle with the marshal, but since he thought that he could win with more soldiers and horses, wow, compare with him. ”

Li Ji said worriedly: "What about Tuli? As soon as the soldiers and horses in Yunzhou moved, Tuli was a hidden danger. How can you keep him out of engagement? ”

Not participating? Why not get involved? There is not a lucky person in this big battle, so why shouldn't he participate? Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows.

Li Ji explained that he was afraid that he would sneak attack Yunzhou City, which was empty in defense.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "No, I'll write a letter to him and invite him to go with us to fight Jieli." Isn't he our ally? If you don't want to, hehe, that's the enemy, kill him now. If you want, stand with us, I wonder if Jieli will be afraid? ”

Yes?

Li Ji said worriedly: "If he pretends to surrender, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing to stand with us at that time." ”

"Don't be afraid, the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yunzhou are watching them to the death. You don't have to take part in the final battle. Xiao Rui made a countermeasure.

"How's that going to work? In this way, Hou Ye and the three thousand Xuanjia troops are left to support, and the gap in our strength is still huge...... Now we don't have 20,000 elite cavalry, purely cavalry, the gap in numbers is too big, how can we win? Li Ji disagreed.

Xiao Rui smiled calmly: "Before this war, I told Your Majesty that I had prepared two surprises for Jieli this time. Then the governor will know. ”

didn't expose it, Xiao Rui went to write a letter to Tuli.

After receiving the letter, Tuli did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed, willing to follow the Hou Ye to destroy Jieli and regain the throne that belonged to him.

So in the direction of Yunzhou on the east road, the 60,000 troops in one place came towards Yanzhou. Among them, the champion Hou Xiaorui was escorted alone by the Xuanjia Army, and became another army.

Tuli publicly voted for Tang, and the news reached Dingxiang City, Jieli was furious, hysterically vented, and threatened to slaughter Tuli's family with his own hands after the war.

In the Yanzhou camp, Wei Chigong laughed, "60,000 from Yunzhou, we have 60,000, plus Shubao's 20,000, a total of 140,000, and the Xuanjia Army, so I asked Jieli if he was afraid?" Do you dare to make a head-on date? ”

Old Li Jing wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, yes, send someone to ask Jieli how he is feeling now? 140,000 against 140,000, do you still dare to fight?

Jieli stubbornly agreed to continue the gambling contract, don't forget that we still have Liang Guo's aid, if your Zuo Wuwei's 20,000 dare to move, Liang Guoshuo will immediately send troops, at least 30,000 soldiers and horses.

The Datang side blatantly withdrew Qin Shubao's left guard, and we stopped defending the Shuo side, and all of them were concentrated under Dingxiang City.

So Xue Li in Shuofang City also sent troops, with 40,000 defenders of the entire Shuofang, all of them came to support Dingxiang City, and bluntly said that Shuofang did not want to fight this battle, and he must win. Jieli was greatly rewarded and personally set up a banquet to entertain him.

After a few days of marching, Xiao Rui and others finally arrived at the Yanzhou camp.

did not go to visit Li Jing first, but came to Hou Junji's camp, this general suffered eight knife wounds and more than a dozen arrow wounds, and he was sulking in the account while watching the big battle but unable to participate.

"Anger is not good for the recovery of injuries, General Hou, this battle is still long, do you really not want to participate?" Xiao Rui opened the curtain and walked in.

Hou Junji said in surprise: "Master Hou! You're back...... You, I, alas, Hou Junji is incompetent, and he has failed Hou Ye Youzhou's hard work for a year, and the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty have all been explained. ”

Xiao Rui stepped forward, personally untied the bandage to check the injury, and then personally helped Hou Junji with medicine. The two have been together in Luoyang for many days and can be regarded as a pair of friends.

Hou Junji said movingly, "Don't be busy, your body hurts, and your heart may feel better." ”

Xiao Rui complained: "I've heard about it, the responsibility for this battle is not yours." You led the troops to fight with the Turks to the last soldier, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, no one dared to say that the soldiers you led were more brave than you, which one was not a soldier who lost three achievements and collapsed? ”

"If you have to say who to blame, then blame the prince, if this kid doesn't cause trouble, how can there be so many sacrifices today?"

Hou Junji retorted: "No, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is inevitable, not just for the prince. It was I who underestimated the combat power of the Turks. I haven't heard of so many dead soldiers around Jieli before, even if it is the royal court guard, they have also fought back then, alas, ......"

Xiao Rui pondered for a moment, "I think this is a deliberate design by Zhao Deyan in order to deal with me. ”

"Master Hou, I've heard the marshal say that they may still be coming at you this time. Now that you've lost all your martial arts, you must be careful. Hou Junji reminded.

After visiting Hou Junji, Xiao Rui walked straight into the big tent, and a group of generals argued.

"Our right guard is the main attack!"

"I'm the left guard to be the main attack!"

"I'm ...... right"

"I'm the main attack!"

……

Xiao Rui really wanted to cover his eyes, and said in his heart, "Is it the county seat in front of you in front of you?"

"Master Hou!"

"Master Hou is here? You give a comment, who should be the main attack in this battle? ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui spread his hands, "What do you want me to do?" Who is the main attacker, of course, is the final say, and even I am a subordinate of the commander. ”

Old Li Jing scolded with a smile: "Does Ben Shuai dare to command you kid?" The meaning of Jieli is obvious, it is to come to you, and he can't even look down on my 60,000 main forces, so he must have prepared a gift for you and the Xuanjia Army. How do you cope? ”
