Hearing Li Jiangyao's idea of killing the Turkic prince, the officials of the Anti-Scale Division present were all surprised, and at the same time extremely excited.

To tell the truth, these people were all bold fanatics, and their loyalty to the Holy Tang Emperor was almost to the point of madness. Seeing the internal troubles and storms of the emperor's external enemies, the emperor Li Chengwu was even more in danger, and the Reverse Scale Division was already worried, and he couldn't wait to do something earth-shattering immediately to turn the tide.

In order to protect the emperor and save the Holy Tang, even if the whole world is dragged into hell for burial, the Reverse Scale Division will not hesitate.

The only thing missing is that there is a bolder and crazier guy than them, who can lead everyone to heaven and earth.

And now, that guy has appeared.

The leaders of the Reverse Scale Division suddenly discovered that compared to Shen Changshi, this Lord Li in front of him was too cute, his mind was full of unexpected thoughts, and it was extremely dangerous!

This kind of chief has a very good appetite for the Reverse Scale Division!

"My lord, just say what to do, the water comes and the fire goes, and our brothers don't frown!" Zhou Xing's face was full of joy and rushed to express his position for everyone.

Li Jiangyao stood up and said to everyone: "Thank you brothers for your support." Li's idea, after all, did not get the approval of Brother Shen in advance, let alone any imperial court instructions. If you follow me, you will inevitably have to take on a great deal of responsibility in the future. If anyone really has concerns, I will not force them. ”

Qiao Shengchun slowly stood up and replied with a solemn expression: "My lord, if you think so, it means that you look down on our Reverse Scale Division and Shen Changshi. Since the day we walked into Beiya, we have cut off the idea of being promoted to become rich and glorifying our ancestors. The waist hangs the reverse scale fish card, the honor and disgrace of the world, it has nothing to do with me anymore! ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Wei Nian, repay the emperor's grace!" ”

After getting along for a long time, Li Jiangyao gradually gained a deeper understanding of the group of hot-blooded men in front of him.

Although until now, he couldn't understand how the Beiya Reverse Scale Division had inherited hundreds of years of loyalty and faith, and could take deep root in the hearts of generations of reverse scale spies. But one way or another, this belief is unquestionable and the one that most inspires terrifying potential.

Whether it is Shen Lie or his subordinates, they are definitely worthy of the word "loyalty".

Li Jiangyao was infected by the attitude of Qiao Shengchun, Zhou Xing and others, laughed, and said arrogantly: "Okay! Now that the words have come to this, I, Li Jiangyao, am no longer my mother-in-law! On Luoyi's side, Qiao Shengchun, Wang Hai and Xu Jinfeng took care of it, and continued to wait for an opportunity to rescue Murong Xue. Other brethren, follow me to seek out the bad luck of the Turks. Since they dare to come to my Saint Tang to spread the wilderness, then don't blame yourself for your short life! Ask for Gurt's confession in a moment, and set off immediately! ”

-

Shengtang Tong Pass, one husband guards the pass, ten thousand people do not attack.

At the junction of Qinzhou, Jinzhou and Yuzhou, thousands of mountains and rivers converge, and after hundreds of millions of years of nature, it has created the world's first majestic pass.

Standing in Tongguan Tower, looking down to the east, what catches your eye is a magnificent scene of the vast expanse of the earth.

At this time, on that flat field, countless deer barns and camp tents were erected, and the bonfires were like the Milky Way falling, and the stars could not be seen.

An army of 200,000 under Xie Guang's command gathered here.

Facing the Xiongguan fortress built between the cliffs, as well as the large and small fortresses and the solid city walls built on the top of the mountain next to it, Xie Guang couldn't help but sigh softly, and was silent for a while.

Ye Rongcheng, the right general of Xuanjia who was standing behind him, couldn't help but say: "Taifu, if we want to storm Tongguan, even if we succeed in capturing this place in the end, the price we pay will definitely be extremely heavy......

Before he finished speaking, another general also hurriedly said: "Besides, in a tough battle like this, the soldiers can't count on it at all, and in the end, it is our Xuanjia Legion's own elite that will be lost." ”

Although the rest of the generals did not say anything, it could be seen from their expressions that everyone thought the same as them.

Xie Guang didn't say anything about this, stood in place and thought for a while, and then asked faintly: "Do you know why the Turks chose this time to take the initiative to come to me to discuss the alliance?" ”

Ye Rongcheng glanced at the general next to him and tried to answer: "Presumably it is...... I'm afraid that we will negotiate a truce with the imperial court, and then deal with them together. ”

"You're not wrong at all," Xie Guang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The Turks are about to fight under the imperial capital, at this time, if we suddenly turn the war with the imperial court into jade silk and join forces to fight the enemy, then Ashina will inevitably have to worry." No matter how powerful his Turkic Iron Cavalry is, Xie will not take it seriously, as long as the emperor can last for a month, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under my command, I guarantee that few of their 800,000 people will return to the west of Zijin Pass alive! It is precisely because of this that the Turkic Khan will send his son as a lobbyist in a hurry. ”

Ye Rongcheng was a little puzzled: "Since the Turks are afraid of us, isn't it better to mention more favorable conditions to them, and then defend the Kanto region and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight?" Why did you instead have the idea of taking Tongguan as soon as possible? ”

Xie Guang's eyes flashed: "Why don't I want to watch the fire from the other side?" It's just that the situation forced me to aim here. First, only by capturing Tongguan and controlling the only way for the Qinwang army to go to the imperial capital could he have enough bargaining chips to bargain with the Turks. Second, when the imperial capital really falls, the Turkic army will definitely continue to move eastward, then this strategic place should be in our hands, otherwise we will only have the fate of being beaten passively. ”

Ye Rongcheng reacted: "What Taifu means is that the conditions offered by the Turks now are not sincere, and they will eventually regret it and choose to turn against us?" ”

"Hmph, no matter how good the conditions are, it's just a piece of waste paper, how can it compare to the weight of a sword?" Xie Guang snorted disdainfully: "He said today that he would support me to ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and tomorrow he can still promise to let others become the new monarch of the Central Plains." In the end, it depends on whose fists are hard! I have now agreed to cooperate, but only to make peace with the Turks, so as to try to gain time to expand our strength and wait for the real battle later. Therefore, it is necessary to conquer Tongguan as soon as possible! ”

"I understand," Ye Rongcheng said, "That's why the day before yesterday, Taifu deliberately told Tanli that he hoped to meet with Ashina Jin Khan under the imperial capital, the purpose was to temporarily slow down the pace of the Turks' attack?" ”

Xie Guang shook his head: "What you said is just a superficial meaning. It is impossible for the Turks to arrange their troops according to my ideas, so there is no question of slowing down. Tanley should have understood another meaning of me: a meeting with a teacher, which can be a meeting between comrades in arms or an enemy. Which one is the last one depends on their sincerity. As allies, it's okay for everyone to cooperate with each other, but to make me their puppet is wishful thinking. The Turks launched an eastward crusade of 800,000 troops, clearly aiming for the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, and only by gathering strength similar to him could the two sides be truly equal. ”

Ye Rongcheng finally understood, and nodded again and again: "What Taifu said is very true. At present, the world of the Holy Tang Dynasty is turbulent, and all forces are fighting for precious time. The emperors are like this, the Turks are like this, and we are the same. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to take Tongguan before the Turkic army enters the imperial capital, and completely seal the door for them to continue to advance eastward. Then let the Turks ravage the imperial capital and the northwest, while we pass through the hinterland of the Central Plains with peace of mind. As long as there is enough time to subdue the various states and counties, we will definitely be able to strengthen our army step by step. ”

Xie Guang turned around, his eyes swept over the generals surrounding him, and said with a little excitement: "Everyone, you are all brothers in life and death for many years. Now, I've put you on a path of no return. If you go forward, you will either be at the pinnacle of brilliance or the abyss of darkness, but no matter what, it is absolutely impossible to go back. Yesterday, Lao Jianhua sent someone to report that the crown prince Li Bing had been rescued by the people of the Reverse Scale Division, and from now on, the golden signboard of the Li royal family will never be blessed again. If you want to win the world, you can only rely on yourself to make a name for yourself! What do you think? Have you figured it all out? ”

"Taifu, I've figured it out a long time ago!" One of the generals shouted at the throat: "Follow you, fuck you!" ”

"That's right! Fuck it! Whether it is the imperial court or the Turks, no one in our Xuanjia army is afraid! ”

"Dashuai, you give an order, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we will all follow you to break through, it's a big deal to die happily!"

"Taifu! No, Brother Xie! Ye Rongcheng's expression was solemn, and his tone was extremely firm: "There's nothing to hesitate about!" Whether it is Tongguan in front of you, or the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Bashu, or somewhere else, wherever your sword is pointing, the battle flag of our Xuanjia Army is fluttering! ”

Xie Guang's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Good! Brethren, let's do it vigorously! The main forces originally sent by the imperial court to deal with us have now rushed back to the imperial capital. Staying here in Tongguan is only 20,000 people. They thought that with the so-called Heavenly Danger Pass, they could block the invincible Xuanjia Legion in the world, which was ridiculous! Brothers, I want you to show all your true skills, so that the soft eggs in the court can take a good look at what is the first strong army of the Holy Tang! ”

Ye Rongcheng and other generals were excited, and they all pulled out their swords and long knives, held them high above their heads, and shouted in unison: "Xuanjia elite, invincible in the world!" ”

[Li Jiangyao asked me to bring a message to the heroes: It is not easy for our Zhenjiang army to fight alone, and please support everyone. I don't need any heavy grain and grass, but what kind of tickets, praise, and likes...... The more the merrier, please! 】
