Xiao Rui and the Xuanjia Army arrived belatedly and rushed to Yanzhou to join Li Jing's 100,000-strong army.
Not far to the north is Dingxiang City. To the northwest is the power of the Liang Kingdom. Now the Liang Master is sitting on three states and counties. Its strength cannot be underestimated. It is no longer the soft persimmon that people can manipulate at will.
Yanchuan County, the main city of the Liang Kingdom, was in the middle, with Lingzhou, which had just been encroached and annexed, to the west, and Shuofang County, which was adjacent to Dingxiang, to the east. Still using the old method, when the war came, Liang divisions all hid in their old nest in Yanchuan, and the consular prime minister Xue Li led troops to garrison in Shuofang. He and Dingxiang are at odds with each other.
At Yanzhou's frontline camp, Xiao Rui came to the Chinese army's tent and saw that everyone was frowning and thinking hard. He couldn't help but jokingly said: "What? Everyone has a sad face. Could it be that they have encountered some problems that they can't solve?" Are you waiting for me to come? Say it in advance. I am a useless person now. I can't fight anymore. The most I can do is scare people from behind. "
Qin Shubao stepped forward and complained: "It's hard for you to hide this from everyone. I'm afraid only the pharmacist here knows that you're not dead. Everyone even drank your farewell wine in private."
Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly and said: "Isn't this because I was forced by Jieli? My wife is expecting a baby, so I can't be assassinated by Jieli, so I can only fake my death and take refuge. I'm sorry, everyone, I'll serve the wine when I get back after winning this battle." apologize."
Qin Shubao patted Xiao Rui on the shoulder and said: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."
Old Li Jing waved and said: "Zang Feng, come here. Now Jie Li has not come, and Dingxiang has no coach, so the war can't start for the time being. We just got a piece of news, and everyone is worried. You have a lot of clever ideas, so please read the details."
what news? Can it embarrass everyone present?
"Alas... news came back from the secret post in the royal court, saying that Jie Li captured the prince in a rage, and took Tang Jian and other envoys with him. He claimed that when the war started, he killed Tang Jian and other envoys to sacrifice the flag. He also returned The prince must be allowed to witness the failure of Datang with his own eyes."
Xiao Rui's expression suddenly dropped, and he spat, "Damn, Jieli is getting more and more despicable. He did this on purpose if the two countries were at war without killing each other."
Glancing at Old Li Jing, Xiao Rui was puzzled. You, the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, were a decisive and decisive person. Historically, you did not consider Tang Jian's life or death during the four-year battle of Zhenguan.
"Commander, the envoy has been detained and may have to sacrifice the flag. This matter should be a headache for His Majesty and the court. Why is everyone thinking about this issue? Shouldn't we make combat deployments?"
Old Li Jing looked at Qin Shubao, and Qin Shubao sighed: "Huaidao is responsible for the guard and serves as the deputy envoy this time."
puff……
Xiao Rui said in confusion: "If I remember correctly, Huaidao is a military commander. When did Honglu Temple have such a shortage of people?"
"Well, he himself proposed to practice more." Qin Shubao knew that Qin Huaidao wanted to know more about the Turks so that he could avenge Xiao Rui in the future.
"So has everyone figured out a solution?"
"There is one who will capture Dingxiang and exchange prisoners for Jieli." Cheng Yaojin said.
Xiao Rui asked: "Take prisoners? Why not the city?"
...Everyone looked at Xiao Rui as if he were a fool.
Old Li Jing reprimanded: "How can we give up the city to others? Dingxiang was originally our city, and it has been occupied by the Turks for a long time. It is already a great shame and humiliation. If we exchange the city for it, what is the difference from ceding land? If we don't take Dingxiang, we don't want to scare them away. I want Jieli, and I want him to send the prince here. If I scare him away, he will hide the person, and it will be difficult to rescue the prince."
The God of War is the God of War, and his words are full of confidence, as if he can defeat Dingxiang in an instant. Have you never thought that Dingxiang cannot be captured in ten days? Will you let Jieli laugh at that time?
Qin Shubao said: "Zangfeng, you have always been resourceful and eccentric, but do you have any good countermeasures? Now Jieli will arrive in ten days. If he arrives, we will not be able to save him in time."
Not to mention that Qin Huaidao was in the team, even if there was no one but Tang Jian, Xiao Rui would still have to save him. After all, he was named Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the old man Tang Jian was kind to him.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Rui said: "It's very simple. We also tie up a few of his important people and exchange prisoners before the battle. Marshal, do you have any information on the grassland? For example, Jieli's relatives, nephews, etc.? Or confidants also."
Li Jing waved his hand to Sima of the Chinese army to get the detailed information, "The grassland tribes are scattered, and now they are gathering troops to prepare for war. Even if you have the information, you are afraid that you will miss it. So the only ones who can take action are Dingxiang City, but there are a few people with decent status. . However, the entire city of Dingxiang is now sealed and cannot be entered."
I……
Xiao Rui's old face turned red with embarrassment. Didn't you tell me earlier? Then what nonsense information is that? Capturing people and exchanging prisoners is no longer an option.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Rui sighed: "It seems that I am the only one who can make the trip myself."
"What? No, no, no, you are the sworn enemy of the Turks. Everyone hates you to the core. You must not put yourself in danger." Qin Shubao was the first to object. Li Jing and others were also opposed to Xiao Rui's appearance.
Xiao Rui smiled calmly and said: "It's true that the Turks hate me, but it's also true that they're afraid of me. Otherwise Jieli wouldn't have sent people to assassinate me. Now that the war is about to begin, and the Turks are at their peak, if I suddenly show up, I can not only frighten the enemy, but also It can rescue prisoners. It can also demoralize the enemy. With so many benefits, why not do it?"
Old Li Jing still disagreed, "No, no matter what, you can't put yourself in danger. Once people know your physical condition..."
Xiao Rui laughed loudly, with an arrogant tone and a look of disdain on the world: "So what if you lose all your martial arts? A champion is still a champion without his martial arts. With three thousand profound armors by his side, no one in the world can hurt him. Me. The purpose of going out this time is to seek revenge against Jie Li. I want him to know that Xiao Rui without his martial arts skills is even more terrifying."
After saying this, he bid farewell to everyone, took the two generals of the Xuanjia Army, and strode out of the camp.
After coming back to his senses, Qin Shubao said to Li Jing: "Commander, why didn't you stop him? It's too dangerous."
Li Jing spread his hands: "I also want to stop him. But the Xuanjia Army he leads is not under our command this time and has the power to adapt to changes. Alas... this is a lawless boy, let him be. Maybe, as he said, when he shows up, it is Jieli who should have a headache."
"After all, except us, no one knows that he has lost all his martial arts skills. If you pass on the order, whoever leaks this secret will be killed by military law!"
Everyone in the Chinese army tent looked solemn and responded in unison.
Back at the Xuanjia Army camp, Xiao Rui looked at Li Junxian, Fang Yiai, Zhang Shigui, Zhai Changsun and others, and asked solemnly: "Everyone, do you dare to join me and meet for a while on the way?"
Fang Yiai, who was not qualified to go to the big tent to discuss matters just now, said in surprise: "Brother Xiao, are we going to ambush?"
Xiao Rui covered his eyes. You are so big-hearted. Three thousand people, how could you ambush someone with two hundred thousand?
