Chapter 1342 Mistaking his hometown for his hometown
There was a forest in the wilderness. Not long after three thousand horses entered the forest, rain came.
It rains heavily in the south in summer, but Yang Lue knew that such heavy rain would go away as quickly as it came.
He squatted under a big tree, holding a map in his hand, and said: "I originally wanted to hide behind Yuezhou and wait, but who would have thought that the rebels actually gathered 30,000 troops. I was wondering whether to go directly to His Highness or go directly to His Highness's place.
Waiting for the opportunity.”
He Cong leaned closer to him and said, "I just want to go to His Highness."
Lei Biao chuckled, "Just tell me! Who doesn't want to!"
Yang Lue knew that these guards had followed him in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for many years and missed the Tang Dynasty and their hometown crazily.
But what they miss most is Li Xuan.
From the moment they left Chang'an, they knew that their future was closely linked to that child.
They waited and waited until their beards and hair turned gray, and finally the child went to Chang'an.
Then, every time news came from northern Xinjiang, they would be happy and excited.
They want to go to northern Xinjiang!
But the journey is long and their identities are sensitive. Once they are recognized, it will bring disaster to Li Xuan.
Bear it, bear it!
I finally endured the day when the dark clouds parted.
The first thing Yang Lue did when he returned to the Southern Zhou Dynasty was to summon them to discuss the next steps.
First, stay in the Southern Zhou Dynasty and wait for Li Xuan's army to move south to cooperate with them in attacking southern Xinjiang.
This path is the safest.
But the old guards all lowered their heads and no one said anything.
I don’t say I object to it, nor do I agree with it.
Yang Lue kicked He Cong, and He Cong smiled and said, "General, let's go find His Highness!"
Lei Biao then said: "We only have three thousand troops. If Your Highness wants a large army to attack the country, we will not be short of these."
Immediately, the guards all chatted with each other, all thinking of going to find His Highness!
At that moment, Yang Lue knew that even if he respected the emperor and was reborn, he would not be able to stop these guards.
They have waited too long.
The best years of my life have been waiting for this day.
But Yang Lue refused to agree to this group of old guys at this moment. He said: "I said that Your Highness is not short of three thousand cavalry. But for this battle, he is short of a surprising army."
"Let's go and become a surprise soldier again!" A guard said with a smile.
"That makes no sense!" Yang Lue said, "Once our hiding place is exposed, we will be useless."
He Cong said: "How about I go to meet His Highness? At any rate, I can also share our plan."
"No need."
Yang Lue stood up. The rain was gradually sparse and the wind was blowing coolly.
"This battle is related to the general trend of the world. Just think about it, just when Shi Zhongtang was full of ambition, three thousand elite soldiers descended from the sky. How about it?"
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, He Cong said: "I still want to see His Highness!"
"I want it too!"
Yang Lue didn't think so, but he had too many things on his shoulders.
"There are many people gathered around His Highness. Over the years, it is these people who have assisted His Highness in achieving today's great cause. If I suddenly appear, if Your Highness takes advantage of me, those people will definitely feel aggrieved."
"Think about it, they worked so hard to get where they are today, and I moved His Highness as soon as I arrived. Who wouldn't feel aggrieved?"
Someone said: "General, we are His Highness's old men."
"Don't talk about the old man!" Yang Lue said: "Cao Ying, that stick, relied on his seniority and went too far, so he was thrown to Chang'an by His Highness. This is a lesson learned from the past. If anyone relies on his old age and betrays his old age, I won't wait for Your Highness to take action.
Then deal with him!"
Everyone laughed.
He Cong said: "What the general means is that we have to make meritorious deeds and then return to His Highness. Only in this way will it seem natural."
"Taking advantage of the situation? I like it!"
"Damn it, when I was guarding His Majesty, those brats were still in a daze!"
"It's just that I'm afraid of birds!"
"General, just give your orders how to fight. You guys should show those stupid young people that after many years, they will still be the same!"
"That's right, it's still him!"
The old guards were burning with passion.
Yang Lue was also very excited.
"Come all over."
A group of guards gathered around the map.
"The rebels are gathering here..."
…
"Your Highness, we have captured a spy!"
Li Xuan, who was eating, said: "Wait a minute."
"yes."
He Lianyan glanced at Jiang He'er and pointed outside.
The two of them went out.
"Have you ever had your Highness before..."
"What!"
"It's just...possible."
"I don't know what you said."
"That's it..." He Lianyan leaned over and whispered a few words in Jiang He'er's ear.
Jiang He'er's face turned crimson, "No way!"
"Then why are you blushing?" He Lianyan asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you went one step further?"
"No!"
The two are entangled.
"Ahem!"
When Li Xuan came out and saw He Lianyan holding Jiang Heer's waist and deliberately lowering his hand, he coughed dryly.
He Lianyan stopped his hand, and Jiang Heer blushed, "Your Highness."
"Look at the spy."
The two of them followed him, but Li Xuan suddenly stopped. Jiang Heer, who was a little distracted, bumped into his back, covering his forehead and crying.
"If you have something to say, say it openly."
…
Jie Long personally tortured the spy. After some torture, the spy said with a ferocious smile: "If you come, you won't be prepared to go back alive. If you have the means, just come."
Jielong was furious and just about to continue whipping him, someone outside said, "I have seen your highness."
Jielong put down his whip, then turned around and saluted, "I have met His Highness."
"Thank you for your hard work, how's it going?"
Li Xuan asked.
"Yang Ni!" the spy said, spitting at Li Xuan.
Lin Feibao beside him drew his sword and swung it in one go.
The spine of the knife slapped the spy hard on the face, causing the saliva to fly out.
"He is a tough guy." Jielong said.
"Use a hammer and hit it bit by bit to see if it's the bones that are harder or the hammer."
Li Xuan likes tough guys the most, and when he hears this, he is not angry but happy.
He walked out, and a ghost-like howl came from behind him.
"Your Highness, the scouts have come to report that Shi Zhongtang has arrived at Jiagu Pass." Pei Jian sent the news.
"The war looks like it's not far away."
Li Xuan went to the top of the city and inspected the city defenses.
At this moment, Daozhou City is the base camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and all the supplies are in the city.
It would be lively if there was a fire.
That's why Li Xuancai paid so much attention to the spy and wanted to find out how this person got into the city.
Not long after, Jie Long came, with a look of admiration on his face, "Your Highness, the man confessed that there was a businessman in the city who was their spy, and they hid him in the cart when they went in and out."
"First, those who inspect the passing carriages and horses that day will be punished and the entire army will be warned."
"yes."
"Second, capture the merchant and hang his head on the city wall!"
"yes!"
Li Xuan said calmly: "The war is about to begin, but businessmen come to join in the fun. What's the point of not dying?"
…
"Your Highness!"
He Lianrong asked to see him.
Li Xuan ordered: "Publish this matter widely!"
Jielong saluted, "Yes!"
Li Xuan walked out and He Lianrong said: "Many people discussed before and said that Jianzhou was empty."
"Gu Ye is moved." Li Xuan said: "However, Jianzhou is too close to Jiagu Pass. This matter..."
He Lianrong said: "Jianzhou is a piece of fat. Even if you know there may be something wrong with it, it is still exciting."
"Shizhong Tangcheng Mansion is deep and should be tested."
Li Xuan has been in the military for many years and has an almost intuitive sensitivity to crises.
"Let the second child come."
Wang Laoer's life has not been good recently. Looking at the sad face, Li Xuan said dissatisfied: "What's going on?"
"My wife wrote to me every few days and said that I refused to reply to her and that I had no conscience." Wang Laoer squatted beside me.
"Then why didn't you reply?"
Jiang He'er and He Lianrong stood together, "It's rare for Your Highness to have leisure time!"
"This is not leisure." He Lianrong said with a smile.
"What is that?"
"Concern!"
Li Xuan is very busy all day, how can he have the leisure and elegance to ask other people's gossip?
In He Lianrong's eyes, this was clearly his brother's concern for his brother's family affairs.
"I replied, but she disliked the shortness of my writing."
Wang Laoer muttered: "Women are so troublesome!"
"She doesn't think your writing is short, but she blames you for not caring about her!" Li Xuan said with an iron heart: "After all, she is your wife, so write down everything you should care about. Can you use sweet words?"
This is a man’s instinct!
Wang Laoer shook his head without hesitation, "No!"
"study!"
"Who should I learn from?" Wang Laoer was puzzled.
Li Xuan sighed, a little desperate, "Shi Zhongtang's army can't make Gu so desperate... Let's see who is the most shameless."
Jiang Heer covered his face, "How embarrassing!"
He Lianrong's cheek twitched, "Actually, when it comes to coaxing women, His Highness's methods are amazing and unmatched by anyone."
"Old thief!" Li Xuan irresponsibly asked the old thief to be Wang Laoer's emotional master. "Go find him later. Remember, women have to be coaxed."
"Oh!" Wang Laoer nodded in agreement.
Then resigned.
"Come back!" Li Xuan patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about the main business. You go with the ranger and keep an eye on the front line of Jianzhou. See if there is anything unusual. Walk around a few times and go to Jiagu Pass to have a look.
"
"Take the order!" Wang Laoer immediately beamed.
For him, being able to go out and kill people is more comfortable than learning how to coax women.
"Get out!" Li Xuan said angrily.
…
Jiagu Pass.
The door opens slowly.
In the morning light, the cavalry poured out in a steady stream.
"Spread the scouts farther away." Wei Ming squinted and looked into the distance.
"yes!"
Twenty thousand cavalrymen came out of the pass. Behind them, He Zun handed over his hand and said, "Have a good journey."
After the last time, the relationship between the two seemed to be the same as before, but bad feelings were growing unknowingly.
Wei Ming glanced at He Zun and said in a low voice: "Like a dog, his mind is full of conspiracies and tricks! A dog thief!"
That slap in the face was nothing to a man with good cultivation, but being executed in public made him lose all face.
In this attack, Shi Zhongtang hit him with a stick and gave him a date.
Wei Ming knew all about these techniques.
But he still had to be grateful to Lingni... When he heard the order, he burst into tears and swore allegiance to Shi Zhongtang.
Looking back, that slightly dark face was filled with indifference.
Life is like a play, everyone is ups and downs in the river of interests.
After Wei Ming was injured, he felt that he had been unlucky recently, so he went to the temple in Jiagu Pass to ask for a fortune.
The sign was rolled out by myself, and there are a few words on it.
——Mistaken another country for hometown.
These words made Wei Ming ponder for a long time.
Foreign country, hometown...
"Deputy envoy, how should we ambush?"
The generals under his command came over.
Wei Ming put aside those messy thoughts and said: "Although the Northern Xinjiang Army has repelled Shi Gongming, it is still a lonely army and is under attack from the north and south by our army. If we want to change, we can only win Jianzhou."
Everyone knows this situation.
"But the King of Qin is using the army after all. I'm afraid this kind of trap won't be able to be hidden from him!"
"Many times, traps don't rely on concealment." Wei Ming said meaningfully.
"What does that rely on?"
"By seduction!"
Wei Ming looked into the distance, "It's like a person walking in the desert, without water for several days, thirsty to death, and suddenly a glass of poisonous wine appears. Do you think he drinks it or not?"
The general was startled.
"He will definitely drink it!"
Wei Ming smiled grimly and said: "As soon as the Northern Xinjiang Army attacks Jianzhou, I will lead the army in an ambush."
"Shi Gongming attacked Daizhou, and the King of Qin led the troops to attack. Now the Northern Xinjiang army attacks Jianzhou, and our army ambushes... This is different but has the same purpose!"
Wei Ming thought of Shi Zhongtang's instructions: Remember, don't try to scare the snake.
"The scouts are divided into two groups, one is sentry as usual, and the other pretends to be a woodcutter or farmer, watching the surroundings." Wei Ming said: "Cast a big net and wait for the fish to take the bait."
