Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

Whether the northwest is in chaos or not, the King of Chu has the final say.

Li Kuan did not ask Yu Wenqing to send the person away in a big way. On the contrary, he specially called Yu Wenqing and carefully told him not to add any unnecessary fuss, and just let the person go quietly without any fanfare. What to promote.

"Wei!" One thing about Yu Wenqing that is very worthy of praise from others is that no matter what His Highness the King of Chu orders him to do, he will always execute it meticulously.

Of course, occasionally adding a bit of personal understanding is always the kind of extraordinary performance.

Looking at Yu Wenqing's leaving figure, Li Kuan explained to the good ministers who looked at him with confused expressions: "Although Master Yu taught me calligraphy, I still know the art of 'blank space'. What's this matter?" , we can’t do it too deliberately. We must treat Siyehu Khan like a close ally who has truly cooperated with us. I believe that with his brain, he must have been surrounded by informants from other forces. The fact that he was kidnapped must not be hidden no matter what. So, we will have a show to watch soon~~" (Note 1)

When Li Kuan said it at the end, his voice was full of schadenfreude.

"Your Highness, it's high, it's really high!" Ashina Sheer felt that losing to such a person was not a loss at all.

"Sigh... If your kid returns to Chang'an, I don't think Yu Shinan will know how to explain to everyone..." Li Jing shook his head after hearing this. His wife can rest assured that she, the young head of the family, will not bully others. Not bad, others come to bully him?

Hehe, are you in a hurry to deliver food?

I don’t know how this old man Yu Shinan did it. If you teach "Sun Tzu's Art of War", your kid's understanding is enough to shock the world. Now even calligraphy and the "blank space" about artistic conception have been criticized by your kid. I realized something strange...

I don’t know if Yu Shinan taught me well or if you learned it crookedly...

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu," Li Jing temporarily suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart and began to discuss business with Li Kuan: "Should we leave for Jinshan to worship heaven now?"

After all, if such a big thing happened to Si Yehu Khan, it would definitely attract the attention of all parties, and this time was their opportunity.

"It's time to leave, but it's not us, but me." The expression on Li Kuan's face was very relaxed, but the words he spoke made others feel nervous: "Uncle Li, I suddenly feel that Gaochang cannot be easily Throw it away, I need you to lead an army to station here. As for the sacrifice to the sky..." Li Kuan smiled: "It's just a sacrifice to the sky. There is no need for tens of thousands of troops to march together. Give me 8,000 riders, plus one person left behind at Jinshan. Ten thousand people is enough."

"What?!" Li Jing never expected that His Highness the King of Chu would have such an idea: "Your Highness, are you kidding me?! You are going to take just this few people with you when hundreds of thousands of troops are chasing and intercepting you?"

"It is inconvenient to have too many personnel. Not only does it affect the marching speed, but the target itself is also too big. It is easy for someone to bite you head and tail and force you to stay." Li Kuan is well versed in fighting on the grassland, and the mobility of the cavalry is above all else: "At the moment, my Among the troops, there are almost 2,000 heavy cavalry, plus 3,000 crossbowmen, and 3,000 elite troops, so 8,000 are enough."

"It's indeed enough. Don't forget that there are more than 10,000 people digging pits in Jinshan waiting for you." Jiang Qu couldn't help it at this time, and immediately stood up and mocked: "I just don't know what He Mingshan and the others dug." Are there enough holes to bury you?"

"I said go, Jiang, you are a fierce man who followed Zhang Xutuo and fought against an army of 20,000 men with five people. Are you qualified to ridicule me?!" Li Kuan felt extremely wronged.

"..." Jiang Qu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, if there was any other way, what would I have done? Five people killed an encirclement of 20,000 people. This thing sounds really exciting. , but can you possibly understand the suffocation I felt when I held a spear in my hand and watched the enemies that could not be seen in front of me rush towards me like mountains and seas? To be honest, I still feel that I can survive such a battle. Surviving the battle is entirely a matter of God’s favor—in fact, personal bravery cannot play a big role in such a battle..."

What Jiang Qu said was so heartfelt that Li Kuan couldn't say anything else.

Dou Shilun, who was on the side, saw that His Royal Highness King Chu was silent, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you have done a good enough job now, but one cannot always think about doing all the work in one go. Gaochang City must Abandoned, under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they don't attack, we won't be able to hold on for long as long as our food and grass supplies are cut off."

"Gaochang City only needs to be defended for half a month. There will definitely be reinforcements at Yumen Pass." Li Kuan said while looking at Dou Shilun with firm eyes: "Two days ago, I sent someone to send a letter home to my father. ."

This time, he did not use his "Private Seal of King Chu".

Dou Shilun couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that His Highness King Chu had already started planning.

"If Your Highness hopes that I can hold back those troops, I can completely obey your orders." Seeing that the King of Chu had already planned, Li Jing immediately expressed his attitude of fighting to the death, but then he said: "But Your Highness, the King of Chu, , if the other party abandons Gaochang and goes straight to Jinshan, what are you going to do?

Eight thousand riders, plus the more than 10,000 people who stayed behind at Jinshan, a mere 20,000 people, how could they possibly stop an enemy that was dozens of times their own size?

Is it possible that you want me to watch you die? ! "Li Jing sometimes really feels that His Highness the King of Chu might as well just be a father-in-law.

Whenever this kid messes with the enemy, it means he wants to play with his life.

It's really an exchange of equal value...

"Alas..." Seeing Li Jing's resolute attitude, Li Kuan couldn't help scratching his head in distress: "So, Uncle Li, what should we do?"

"Your Highness King Chu, I have been looking for you on the prairie for several months, and finally met you at Qikou. That night, I swore to the wind and snow that I would never lose you again. Whereabouts." Li Jing did not reveal his plans immediately, but instead brought up old things again, trying to make King Chu realize how unreliable he was in the past.
