Chapter seven hundred and fortieth eight: Tooth extraction
Li Jing's efforts were effective. Guo Zihe did not expect that Li Jing's internal energy was so pure. His face suddenly turned red. Then, he snorted and took three steps back. Li Jing did the same. He retreated, but his exit steps were two and a half steps, which was half a step less than Guo Zihe's.
Although there was only half a step difference, it already explained the problem. With luck, Guo Zihe looked at Li Jing with surprise, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Awesome, awesome, I didn’t expect that you could practice Zixia Kung so well at such a young age. I don’t think your master would be as good as you at your age."
Hearing Guo Zihe's words, Li Jing smiled modestly, cupped his fists and saluted Guo Zihe, and said: "Uncle, I'm so impressed. How can I compare with my master with my skills? It was my uncle who accepted me just now. "
Guo Zihe waved his hand, but he said impatiently: "I'm afraid you learned this problem from your master. Your master is good at everything, but there is one thing: he is too humble, and he always uses modest words. , remember, excessive modesty is pride. Sometimes, you still have to be proud when you should be proud."
"Thank you, Uncle Master, for your advice." After hearing Guo Zihe's words, Li Jing also bowed again. He had no choice but to do so. Li Jing didn't need to say or do anything because of his seniority. He was a bit shorter than Guo Zihe. It turns out that Guo Zihe is also a disciple of Ziyun Temple, and Li Jing's master. Ziyun Taoist is a fellow disciple. Because of this, Li Jing calls Guo Zihe his uncle, but Guo Zihe is He had left Ziyun Temple a long time ago. If Li Jing hadn't gone as an envoy to persuade Guo Zihe this time, and Guo Zihe recognized that Li Jing's internal strength was the true biography of Ziyun Temple, I'm afraid that the relationship between Guo Zihe and Li Jing would have ended. No one knows the layer relationship yet.
After repelling Li Shimin, Guo Zihe relapsed into his old habit of looking for someone to compete with, and the most powerful person among Liang Jun was none other than Li Jing. Guo Zihe was so fond of martial arts that he didn't care about Li Jing. Was it his nephew who just dragged Li Jing into a duel, leading to the scene before? And whether it was Li Jing or Guo Zihe, they were both the best among Liang Jun and the Border Army. , the battle between the two of them also attracted many people to watch.
However, Guo Zihe left Ziyun Temple very early. Guo Zihe did not learn many of Ziyun Temple's exquisite skills. Therefore, although Guo Zihe was Li Jing's uncle, Guo Zihe had just fought so hard. But he lost to Li Jing and suffered a disastrous defeat. However, although Guo Zihe was usually indifferent, he was an open-minded person. Although he lost to his nephew in front of so many people, Guo Zihe But he didn't care at all. Instead, he followed Li Jing and asked about some reasons for his defeat just now.
After the uncle and nephew had a discussion, the surrounding soldiers also dispersed. Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui walked over with a smile, bowed his hands to Guo Zihe, and then said to Li Jing with a smile: " General Li, we have just received military information from Hanoi. The prince has defeated the armies of Luo Yi and Liu Wuzhou, and Liang Shidu was frightened and fled back to Shuofang."
Li Jing couldn't help laughing after hearing such information. This was indeed good news, while Guo Zihe next to him showed a surprised expression. You must know that Luo Yi, Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi all joined forces, so But with an army of 120,000, I don’t know what method Wan He used to defeat Luo Yi and Liu Wuzhou’s army so quickly, and also scared away Liangshi, Guo Zihe He was a straight-tempered man, and if he had any doubts in his mind, he would just ask them out. Then, Du Ruhui used Wanhe's plan to use Jishui to flood the seven armies, and completely annihilated the armies of Luo Yi and Liu Wuzhou. The process was explained to Guo Zihe in detail. After listening to Du Ruhui's words, Guo Zihe couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect Wan He's methods to be so clever. At the same time, Guo Zihe was secretly glad that he had taken refuge in him. Wan He, otherwise, facing such an opponent, I am afraid that I will end up like Luo Yi.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jing said to Du Ruhui: "Master Du, now the prince has defeated Luo Yi's army, but I don't know how General Pei is doing."
Hearing what Du Ruhui said, Du Ruhui also smiled and stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "General Li, just don't worry, General Pei is experienced, and Major General Pei is brave and invincible. In addition, they have Mr. Liu beside them to make suggestions." , their southern expedition this time will definitely be an immediate success,"
"What," Guo Zihe finally understood the meaning of Li Jing's words at this time. His eyes widened and he looked at Li Jing and Du Ruhui in disbelief, and exclaimed: "You mean, this time Wan He, uh, is the King of Liang. Faced with the two-sided attack by Li Shimin and Luo Yi, he not only failed to respond with all his strength, but also thought about going to the south. Is he so confident that he can defeat the attack from Li Shimin and Luo Yi?"
Seeing Guo Zihe being so shocked, Li Jing and Du Ruhui also looked at each other and smiled. To be honest, before, they both couldn't believe that Wan He dared to be so crazy, and even let Wan He succeed in the end, but the facts proved After everything, Wan He not only successfully used a small number of soldiers and horses to repel the front and rear attack plan set up by Li Shimin and the Turks, but also did not forget to deal with the chaos in the south. It has to be said that the dandy boy back then, Now he has grown into a commander and even a ruler who can take charge of his own duties.
Then Li Jing turned his head and looked at Guo Zihe again, and said with a smile: "Since we don't need to worry about the south, what about the north?"
"North." Hearing Li Jing's words, Guo Zihe was stunned at first, but soon understood what Li Jing meant. This was to deal with Liang Shidu who had just escaped. It is true that if the north cannot be settled, then Wan He is likely to face a situation like today, or even more tragic than today, at any time. Especially behind Liang Shidu, there is also the shadow of the Turks. The Turks will never forget to go south and occupy the Han people's Huahua Kingdom. Although Wan He blocked this move, the Turks must still be thinking of other evil ideas. If they want to put an end to the Turks' behavior, the best way is to chop off all the Turks' claws that reach into the Central Plains. , now that Liu Wuzhou has been arrested, Guo Zihe is also on Wanhe's side, and only Liang Shidu is left, Wanhe will naturally have to finish his mission of eradicating evil.
Du Ruhui, who was on the side, also narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "In fact, it is very simple to deal with Liang Shidu. You just have to rely on General Guo for everything. The only troublesome one is probably Li Shimin. Li Shimin didn't suffer any injuries this time, and this Li Shimin is like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to hurt people. It may run out of the grass at any time and bite you. If you don't want to be bitten by him, it's best. The solution is to pull out the poisonous snake's fangs,"
"This..." This time Du Ruhui said it too cryptically, which made Li Jing a little confused. He quickly asked Du Ruhui: "Master Du, what do you mean..."
Du Ruhui said with a smile: "The prince has sent Old General Qu Tu to contact the ministers in Li Tang Dynasty who support Li Jiancheng. I believe they will cause some trouble for Li Shimin, and we will take advantage of this opportunity to pull out the teeth."
When Du Ruhui said this, Li Jing seemed thoughtful, but Guo Zihe still couldn't understand. Seeing the expressions of Li Jing and Guo Zihe, Du Ruhui also said with a smile: "The poisonous fangs of the Li family are actually in Tongguan and Although Taiyuan and Tongguan were destroyed, Li Shimin would never let go of such a good natural pass, and Taiyuan was the base where the Li family started. The foundation of the Li family in Taiyuan is much deeper than in other places. Because In this way, although the Li family has suffered a lot of defeats, they can always make up for it in a short period of time. The main reason is because of the Li family's foundation in Taiyuan."
Hearing what Du Ruhui said, not only Li Jing, but also Guo Zihe had the same idea. The place where Guo Zihe once dominated was not far from Taiyuan, so he knew very well how high the reputation of the Li family was in Taiyuan, just as Du Ruhui said that the Li family's current fortune is inseparable from the support of the people of Taiyuan. Then Guo Zihe murmured to himself: "Yes, if you want to defeat Li Tang, you must first occupy Taiyuan." , Otherwise, the Li family will become a centipede, dead but not stiff,"
Du Ruhui and Li Jing both heard Guo Zihe's voice, hesitated for a moment, and continued to discuss. Du Ruhui said: "It's better to leave the issue of Taiyuan to the prince. As for Tongguan, let's just leave it to him." It's up to us to deal with it,"
Hearing Du Ruhui's arrangements, Li Jing nodded repeatedly, but Guo Zihe frowned and said: "Did you forget something? Don't forget it. I will go back soon, Liang Shidu's Shuofang is not far from my place, why don't you just leave Master Liang to me, I've been unhappy with him for a long time,"
Guo Zihe took the initiative to ask for military leave, but Du Ruhui hesitated for a moment, but still did not agree to his request. Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said: "General Guo, don't underestimate this battle. There must be Turks behind Master Liang. Now Master Liang They were all frightened back to Shuofang, and maybe he will contact his master. At that time, with General Guo's strength alone, I'm afraid it will still be a bit difficult to encounter the Turks,"
Not to mention, when Du Ruhui mentioned the Turks, Guo Zihe also hesitated. As Du Ruhui said, the strength of the Turks was too terrifying. Otherwise, he would not have succumbed to the Turks and become their lackeys.
