Chapter eight hundred and thirteen brothers meet
Ten miles outside the southwest city of Viagra, Li Ji had withdrawn 100,000 troops to station in Jiannan Road for cultivation. The 200,000 troops guarded a city full of thunder. He could not enter, as if he was holding a stone in his mouth.
So leaving 100,000 defending enemies to counterattack, and evacuating 100,000 will also reduce the burden.
These days, Li Ji has been thinking about countermeasures. He has been using the thunder to bomb the sky, but he did not expect that one day the enemy would use this method to deal with him. The small city in front of him, which is only five miles long, looks like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and he has no idea how to start.
"Master, Chang'an has responded urgently."
The messenger brought in the account and handed over a reply from the emperor.
Li Ji took apart and looked carefully, and smiled bitterly in his heart. His Majesty did not allow him to retreat, nor did he support, nor did he have any tricks. He only said that he believed in the frontline soldiers, but he didn't know that we were helpless.
Li Ji, who had been following Li Er for many years, knew in his heart that the country was occupied by a city, which was a shame, and with the emperor's character, he had to avenge his shame.
I sent an emergency report to the emperor that I suggested that the army be stationed, and most of them retreated to plan for the future. Because there were too many casualties and injuries in the forced attack, the Tang Dynasty could not afford to lose.
Although the emperor did not say that he would attack in this reply, the meaning of not being able to retreat between the lines was already vividly displayed on the paper, and he did not say that he would do anything to the cost. This is the thought of the overlord emperor. The sacrifice of the country's hegemony is worth it.
It’s a pity, but I am a general and not a prince. Li Ji, who loves soldiers like his sons, closed his eyes and sighed that he could not let his soldiers charge for death. After all, this is not a time for life and death.
"Master, the Marquis of Zhongnan Academy will also send you a secret letter." The messenger handed over another letter.
When Li Ji heard this, he was overjoyed. When everyone was helpless, Bai Fan was anxious and wise. This time it would not be a trick again.
He gave the messenger a blank look and Li Ji shouted, "Don't you take out the secret message together? Is there any more?"
"You are not there."
"Then go back and get the reward."
When Li Ji opened Bai Fan's secret letter, he was a little disappointed. It turned out that Bai Fan had no way to defeat the enemy, but he recommended a disciple to come and practice, saying that he could take care of one or two.
Li Ji didn't care much at first, just helping with friends.
A month later, Li Mingxin came to the camp to report that Li Ji arranged for him to be the Sima of the Central Army and was responsible for the Chinese language documents of the army. However, the new student bluntly stated that he had a plan to defeat the enemy, which surprised Li Ji.
"The student was born in the Li family in Longxi and was a brother to the Tubo king Li Xinzhong. He was willing to persuade the general to surrender his brother." Li Mingxin said with politeness.
When Li Ji heard this, he was shocked. Why is this student from the Li family in Longxi? Jian Zhi is so confused. It would be fine if you didn’t send a capable disciple at this time, but why would you send someone with a doubtful identity to do it?
In fact, Li Ji didn't know that this was exactly what Bai Fan did to try his disciples. Li Mingxin has been a good student for three years after he entered the school, but no one can see through his true heart. It is also good to use this opportunity to prove his true heart.
"Oh? He turned out to be the descendant of a famous family.
Since it was sent by Jian Zhi, I have no doubt about your ability and loyalty, but I will live with Li Xinzhong of Tubo. I have not taken advantage of him in the past two months. This person has resentment in his heart and a hard heart, so it is impossible for him to surrender.
You are kind-hearted and I know, but you are a disciple of Jian Zhi. When you come to the army, I need to be responsible for your safety, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Jian Zhi."
Li Mingxin said seriously: "Since you are in the army, life and death are destined to be rich and noble in heaven, and you should be glorious when you wrap your body in the horse and the body.
The general should treat me equally and should not be treated differently because of the relationship between a teacher, otherwise the students will not be able to truly train the army.
The students know that they are not talented and knowledgeable may not be able to convince their brother, but entering the city to investigate is also a military need. At least my brother will not attack me. If they can find the weaknesses in the city of Wuzhou, it will be an opportunity."
Li Ji nodded and praised. It turned out that he was from a famous family with an extraordinary temperament. After pondering for a while, he agreed to this risky strategy. As for whether to explain to Bai Fan if something happened, Bai Fan probably had expected it.
When the defenders at the front of the city of Weizhou saw each person and a horse coming out of the Tang camp, they immediately shot them with bows and arrows. The person who came was a common name.
Li Mingxin claimed that he was a friend of the Tubo king and asked the guard to come and report.
The guard did not dare to neglect and urgently reported to Li Xinzhong in the city.
The design of the battles for several days made Li Xinzhong a little physically and mentally exhausted, but it was too late to run back and forth when the war broke out. Li Xinzhong temporarily stationed in the small city of Wuzhou and did not return to the Tubo capital, Lushe City. He wanted to wait until when the Tang Dynasty retreated from difficulties.
"Hey, the Tubo country is weak in its primary school and cannot even find any talent. If there are one or two famous generals, I don't have to defend the Tang Dynasty's attack personally. Then Li Ji is an old fox, and others may not be able to beat him." Li Xinzhong said to himself.
"Report to the king, there is a Tang man named Li Mingxin outside the city, who claims to be your friend asking for a visit."
who?
Li Xinzhong got up in shock. He heard that right, Li Mingxin? His second brother?
Didn’t he say that he followed the thief Bai Fan to the academy and studied? Why did he come to the battlefield? Could it be Bai Fan’s conspiracy? Or Li Ji’s conspiracy?
I came to the city in person and saw that it was my second brother whom I hadn't seen for several years. Good boy, it's great to have arrived, it's so good, it's raining in time.
Li Xinzhong was overjoyed and was sleepy and sent a pillow. He was clamoring for a shortage of talents, so there was something he delivered to the door.
He personally went out of the city to welcome Li Mingxin into the city, and Li Xinzhong welcomed his younger brother very grandly.
The two brothers reunited again, and they were already different from each other, and they really felt different.
"Second brother, how are you doing these years?" Suddenly, Li Xinzhong asked this question subconsciously.
"Well, fortunately, the senior brothers in the academy are all very nice to me." Li Mingxin looked at his brother carefully, wanting to see something.
"What about Bai Fan? I heard you have become his master? What did he do to you?" Li Xinzhong asked.
"Master is also very good to me. As the world says, he is really the first teacher in the world. He is very good to every student when teaching according to his aptitude. Maybe because of his great-grandfather, he often brings me around to give advice and teaching."
Grandpa? Hearing these three words, Li Xinzhong was a little stunned for a moment. He had been planning revenge for many years and was so busy that he couldn't even bother to talk about his relatives.
"Brother, I want to ask you something today."
"Haha, you want to ask me if I killed my great-grandfather, right?"
"Yes, are you?"
Li Xinzhong looked straight, shook his head and said, "It's not me, you know, that's also my great-grandfather. How could I be able to do it?
At that time, the Qingcheng group had already been determined to die. How could there be any way to stay in the assassination of the king?
The great-grandfather had the highest kung fu. After assassinating Songtsen Gampo of Tubo, he was unable to succeed and was killed by the army.
