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

When Niu Jinda led eight thousand fine cavalry to Yumen Pass, General Hou Junji, who had suffered a lot during this period, finally saw his relatives: "Old Niu! You are finally here!"

"Uh... where is His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" Niu Jinda looked at the emotional General Hou in front of him, always feeling that he had mistaken the wrong person. Why, is the sense of oppression brought by His Highness the King of Chu so strong?

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has led his army to leave Gaochang City and headed for Jinshan a few days ago!" Hou Junji has been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days. His Highness the King of Chu's shocking battle in Yanqi has already reached his ears. See Looking at Niu Jinda, who knew nothing about it, Hou Junji said with a complex expression: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really... really 'turning into a golden-scaled dragon when encountering wind and rain' - the entire northwest has been disturbed by this man. It became a pot of porridge..."

When Hou Junji said this, he remembered that he had a "little unpleasantness" with the King of Chu before, and his mood became even worse: "I received news two days ago that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was offering two thousand cavalrymen. After defeating 10,000 elite Turks, he actually brought the corpse of the leader of the other side, Gu Yushe Khan of the Eastern Turks, to the gates of Yanqi City after the war, saying that he would return it to the Allies. As a result, the Tibetan Prime Minister Lu Dongzan couldn't stand it. Ji, he went out of the city alone to negotiate with him, but in the end he almost died in the hands of His Highness the King of Chu..."

"..." Niu Jinda listened to Hou Junji's aim, and he was completely speechless - although Niu Jinda had been shocked by His Highness the King of Chu's mighty record in Chang'an many times before, but now, he had to deal with it. King Chu's understanding rose to a higher level: "So, His Highness King Chu is planning to turn Jinshan Sacrifice to Heaven into a decisive battle..."

"That's what he thinks!" When Hou Junji heard that Niu Jinda finally expressed the same opinion as his own, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "I have no right to mobilize troops, let alone any troops to mobilize. After all, Yumen Pass must not be lost. .So, I have no choice but to send out all my troops, which can be regarded as doing my best... But Brother Jinda... If His Highness the King of Chu never comes back from this trip, you and I... It’s hard to end well!”

"..." Niu Jinda suddenly hated Hou Junji. After all, you are talking nonsense to me at this time. What can I do?

At the moment, the only thing they can do is to pray that His Highness King Chu can have a safe journey before reinforcements arrive...

-------------------------------------

"Sister Dou, why don't you let me write this prayer to the heaven?" - No matter how many people are worried about the safety of His Royal Highness King Chu, as the person involved, his happy life goes on as usual.

"I mean Your Highness..." Dou Shilun, who was pestered all the way by Li Kuan and almost had a splitting headache. After hearing this, he replied unreasonably to His Highness the King of Chu, his father-in-law: "Prayers to the heaven, this is If you want to record it in the history books, you must be sure that all of your curse words are street slang, such as "Nai Weng" and "Wild Dog", which are quite good, but you called the Turkic Khan a "slutty maid student" '...this...this, this...can this be used?!"

It is absolutely impossible for Dou Shilun to give in to Li Kuan on this matter. If he gives in, the generals participating in the war this time will not be the "Datang Meritorious Group", but the "Chang'an Ranger Group". These two There is a huge difference between them...

"But why did Zhang Gongjin snatch this job?!" Li Kuan saw that he couldn't convince Dou Shilun, so he couldn't help but come up with another idea: "If you ask me, it's better to leave this job to Yu Wenqing, after all, Mo Hedu He caught Khan with his own hands, not to mention Si Yehu was kidnapped later..."

"Ha..." Dou Shilun didn't want to talk anymore, so he asked Yu Wenqing to write a prayer for worshiping the sky? I'm afraid that the last article submitted by the rough warrior was ghostwritten by your highness, King Chu, right? !

"Alas..." Jiang Qu, who was listening to the argument between the two, couldn't help but sigh: "His Royal Highness King Chu, do you have to deal with this matter again? I have to remind you that even if you don't care about your own face, You should also consider the reputation of your two mentors, Yu Shinan and Xiao Yu. They used to be flawless gentlemen. Now their reputations are in danger because of your "glorious deeds". That's it. But you can’t make them unable to hold their heads high in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty from now on, right?!”

To kill someone, you have to kill your heart.

As soon as Jiang Qu said these words, His Highness King Chu's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a while.

After a long time.

"Yu Wenqing!" Li Kuan shouted.

"I'm here!" Yu Wenqing, who had been following Li Kuan, responded.

"Go tell Zhang Gongjin and ask him to think carefully about the prayer to worship the sky. This prayer must be signed with my name and his name. No matter what I say, my two mentors must be immortalized in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty. !" At the end of his sentence, Li Kuan deliberately raised his chin and looked at Jiang Qu with a look of contentment on his face.

"Ahem..." Li Jing, Li Ji and others, who were originally watching the show with peace of mind, couldn't help but laugh a little at this moment.

Good guy... is this how immortality is used? Um……

I don’t know how Duke Yu and Duke Xiao in Chang’an City would feel when they learned that their disciples treated them with such respect...

But I think that the two of them should...maybe...maybe...probably...while being shocked, they also feel very "warm" at the same time...

After all, you have taught such disciples yourself...

The bitter gourds grown at home always have to be laughed at and said to be delicious...

Hahahaha...

After such an episode, His Royal Highness the King of Chu led the army to march eastward without any hindrance.

And such a strange enemy situation also made everyone's hearts sink.

The other party is not even willing to harass you along the way...

Naturally, they didn't know that the reason why the Northwest Allied Forces no longer stopped Li Kuan and others from going to Jinshan was because they had received news of His Majesty Li Er's personal expedition. In order to prevent the two armies from successfully converging, Lu Dongzan simply put his mind to it. Hey, King Chu of the Tang Dynasty wanted to sacrifice to heaven, right? OK, I know I can’t stop you for a while, so I might as well let you go! It's just that after you finish offering sacrifices to heaven, it's not easy to make the return journey.

According to the current arrangement, Li Kuan ran to Jinshan to worship heaven. It would take nearly more than a month just to travel. In this month, it was enough for Lu Dongzan to mobilize Tuyuhun, Tubo, Western Turks, Tochar, As well as the Tiele tribes represented by Xue Yantuo, the total number of these armies, even with the most conservative estimate, is at least 800,000!

The number of troops brought by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty this time was about 100,000. Even counting Xue Wanjun and Wei Xiaojie, who had been stationed in Lingzhou and Youzhou and had been stationary, plus the 30,000 people in their hands, the Tang Dynasty The number of troops participating in the war this time was only 200,000.

800,000 vs. 200,000, there is no need to say which side has the advantage. And more importantly, according to Lu Dongzan's estimation, the Tang Dynasty could only raise 50,000 more cavalry until it died. They were not like someone who regarded the East Turks as their own pasture and 'led the horses' by the hundreds of thousands. "Chu Manzi", war horses in the Tang Dynasty, are still very scarce today.

Furthermore, Lu Dongzan relied on the numerical advantage of the allies. He no longer listed the King of Chu as his only target. According to his plan, as long as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty dared to lead his army westward out of Yumen Pass, then he would not mind following the example of the Tang Dynasty. The style of the king of Chu in the Tang Dynasty was to capture the thief and capture the king.

In this way, it is considered tit for tat!
