Yuchi Gong buried Song Jingang in Meiliangchuan, erected a stone monument, dismissed the brothers who followed him, and immediately followed Li Zhiyun to Jishan.
Song Jingang was defeated, and there were still Turkic soldiers and horses from Ao Sheshe in Hedong. As long as they were dealt with again, the battle in Hedong would be over.
Three days later, all the troops of the Tang army gathered at the foot of Longmen Mountain.
At this time, Li Zhiyun's command has gathered its peak combat power, and its troops and horses are strong. If it reaches level A, it can directly kill the arcane shooter.
When Li Shenfu saw Yuchi Gong behind Li Zhiyun, he suddenly felt guilty because he remembered the fear caused by Yuchi Gong's formation killing Li Zhongwen when he was being chased by Song Jingang in Quwo.
Yuchi Gong had no impression of Li Shenfu, and he was too lazy to beep with Li Shenfu. Compared with Li Shenfu, Yuchi Gong was more interested in Qin Qiong. He had already approached Qin Qiong and sent out another invitation to a real man fight.
However, Qin Qiong did not agree or refuse, but told him that it was not the time yet and would wait until the arcane design was solved.
In Qin Qiong's opinion, if he can defeat Yuchi Gong once, he can defeat him a second time.
Tang army camp.
"Uncle Bao, what do you think of this horse?"
Li Zhiyun pointed at the war horse brought by Li Zhen.
Qin Qiong looked at the tall and strong war horse in front of him, his eyes gradually brightened, "Is this horse a Turkic war horse?"
"Uncle Bao knows the goods." Li Zhiyun explained with a smile: "King Changle has always loved horses, so this is the Jinshan BMW he gave to me."
As the relationship between King Changping and Li Zhiyun became better and better, King Changle's side, Li Zhiyun, also moved around frequently. Li Youliang wanted to give this Jinshan horse directly to Li Zhiyun, but Li Zhiyun still spent a thousand guan to buy it from Li Youliang.
Qin Qiong touched the gray-yellow mane of the BMW and sighed repeatedly, "What a good horse."
He is a military commander, so he understands horses.
Li Zhiyun said: "I heard that you and Jingde fought against each other and your horse died of exhaustion. This horse is what I compensate you for."
"Your Majesty, I will be the last to suffer this."
"BMW presents a gift to a hero. You win Taiping Pass and turn the tide of the war. This is what you deserve. Don't refuse."
Li Zhiyun handed him the reins and patted his shoulder.
Qin Qiong was moved in his heart, but he still said humbly: "The victory of Taiping Pass was not the result of the last general. The King of Huaiyang and the Duke of Lueyang all contributed, so the last general really didn't dare to do it."
Li Daoxuan said: "Uncle Bao, please accept it. In the battle of Taiping Pass, the general is so fierce that he cannot be defeated without respect for his virtue."
Although he was conceited and brave, he still admired Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, two tough men.
Cheng Yaojin said carelessly: "Uncle Bao, if you don't want it, give it to me, Lao Cheng."
"You deserve it too." Yuchi Gong immediately sneered.
Somehow, he just wanted to attack Cheng Yaojin, a hippie scoundrel.
"Heitan Tou, you are looking for death!"
"Cheng Heitan, do you want to fight in a duel?"
Li Zhiyun coughed and told the two of them to shut up. The two were definitely enemies in their previous life, and they had quarreled frequently these days. Yu Chigong was very aloof to other people, but when facing Cheng Yaojin, he acted as if he would kill him.
.Because Cheng Yaojin’s foul mouth disgusted him so much.
According to Li Zhiyun's guess, Yu Chigong must have been deeply resentful about Cheng Yaojin's sneak attack on him from behind.
Chai Shao smiled and said: "General Qin, if you don't want it, then I'm willing to pay five hundred guan to buy it, how about it?"
"Brother-in-law, this horse is worth a thousand dollars in the West Market." Li Zhiyun teased with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
When Qin Qiong saw Li Zhiyun's persistence, he no longer hesitated, clasped his fists in thanks, and accepted the BMW. His beloved horse died of exhaustion when competing with Yu Chigong, and he was worried about not having a BMW.
Yuchi Gong was greedy, but he didn't say much. He had just surrendered, so such a good thing would naturally not be his turn.
After the small interlude, everyone discussed taking down Ao Sheshe. In fact, there was nothing to say. Now Ao Sheshe was the meat in the pot. It was just to decide how mature he would be before eating him.
The stalemate lasted until the end of the month, when Ao She set up all the provisions and horses, so he could only take the lead and take the initiative to break out. However, facing the heavy encirclement of the Tang army, his breakout was destined to be useless.
Ao Sheshe was defeated and captured at Longmen, and all the Turkic troops were wiped out.
"Ao Sheshe, you said you were staying well in the grassland, why are you going south?" Li Zhiyun looked at the Turkic man kneeling on the ground.
"What are you doing!"
"How dare you!" Chai Shao yelled, "You are a barbarian, how dare you be rude!"
Li Zhiyun waved his hand to stop his brother-in-law, stepped forward and said: "You Turks just can't stay idle and insist on going south to seek death. Why don't you just stay in the grassland?"
"Li Zhiyun, don't be complacent. My father's 400,000 string-control warriors are ready to go. One day when he goes south, he will take your head!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong subconsciously came to stand beside Li Zhiyun.
One had a sinister aura, and the other had a black face filled with murderous aura. Even Ao Shezhu couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw it. It was these two who captured him alive.
"It seems that Gu Duolu didn't tell Chuluo what I said. That's all. You'd better leave your life to me, the Saint of the Tang Dynasty."
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ao Sheshe.
Later, Li Zhiyun asked Pei Ji and Li Shenfu to return to Chang'an with Ao Sheshe to give Lao Li the good news. He led his army to stay in Hedong to prepare, and when the grain and grass arrived, he prepared to go to Taiyuan to attack Liu Wuzhou with the King of Qin.
Pei Ji had no objections to this decision. He had not wanted to stay in Hedong for a long time. This time he was defeated in Hedong and relied on the King of Chu to regain his position. He was embarrassed. Before, he mocked Liu Wenjing for not knowing how to fight, but now he is the same as Liu Wenjing.
Li Shenfu was a little unhappy and asked to stay and follow Li Zhiyun to Taiyuan.
In response, Li Zhiyun thought about it and could only agree. After all, he was Lao Li's confidant, and it would be inappropriate to offend him too deeply.
After dealing with the Turks, Li Zhiyun led his army to Zhengping.
Zhengping is the administrative county of Jiangzhou designated by the Tang Dynasty, and its infrastructure is relatively good.
After the army was stationed, Li Zhiyun discovered that tomorrow night was New Year's Eve.
This should be his first New Year's Eve spent outside, but he had been mentally prepared beforehand and had already had letters sent home.
When he went to war, his wife told him that she was pregnant, and he didn't know how she was doing now.
During the New Year celebrations outside, Li Zhiyun, considering the mood of the soldiers, ordered meat to be served to the three armies. As for fine wine, that was absolutely impossible. During the march and fighting, Li Zhiyun himself did not drink, and he also prohibited others from drinking.
However, there was also an unexpected surprise. In order to thank Li Zhiyun, Pei Shiqing personally sent wine and meat to the army on New Year's Eve. Li Zhiyun accepted the meat and left all the wine intact for Pei Shiqing to take back.
The strictness of the military order made Pei Shiqing look at him with admiration.
On New Year's Eve, there was singing and dancing in the camp, and the soldiers danced around the bonfire and sang their hearts out to express the passion of the macho men.
Well, this is inevitable. We are all young and energetic men. It is not a problem to hold it in all the time. There are ways to vent passion, and Li Zhiyun will naturally not stop it.
After all, he relied on the fifth girl to comfort himself when he had time.
Singing and dancing alone were not lively enough, so Li Zhiyun took out a hundred guan as a prize and organized a martial arts competition in the camp.
All the generals participated enthusiastically, money was second, and the main reason was to differentiate themselves.
There is no first place in literature and no second place in military affairs. It is normal for young people to be competitive.
The competition is divided into two categories: wrestling and riding and shooting.
Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong, Li Junxian, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin and others participated in it.
The most applauding match of the night was the competition between Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong. They defeated their respective opponents and fought all the way to the finals. The horse-riding and archery competition was indistinguishable, and finally turned into a horse-mounted attack.
Although it was not a battle of life and death, both sides fought with all their strength. It was so exciting that even Li Zhiyun was in awe after watching it.
In the end, Qin Qiong defeated Yuchi Gong and won the lottery.
