Xiao Rui looked around and saw that no one listened to his orders. He gritted his teeth and secretly cursed Du Te's mother for being a wallflower. It seems that they are all following me to achieve military success, and no one can be counted on at the critical moment.
"Xue Li!"
"Here!" Xue Li stood up and wanted to take action.
Qin Shubao grabbed him here, "Don't be impulsive, that's Xiao Rui's father-in-law, how can you do it?"
this……
Xue Li hesitated and turned to look at Xiao Rui.
Wei Zheng put down the imperial edict, walked to Xiao Rui again, and said seriously: "Zang Feng, we all know that you can't let go of Jie Li. In fact, the Tang Dynasty will not let go of Jie Li. The war is not your business alone, the soldier is the king of the country. event."
"Do you think His Majesty and we are advising you to take revenge? No, the reason why I came here in person is not because I am afraid that you will be stubborn. You are no longer the young boy you were before. You are already a father. Your family is thinking of you. Your safety is keeping me awake at night. Don't be stubborn anymore and come back with me."
He handed the imperial edict in his hand to Li Jing, "Commander Li, I won't read the imperial edict anymore. We can withdraw the troops tomorrow. I will take Zangfeng back first."
ah? Leave now? Old Li Jing was stunned for a moment. You just came to the camp. You should at least have a meal and stay for a day. Isn't it too... to leave just after you arrived? Are you afraid in your heart? Are you afraid that Xiao Rui will really kidnap you?
Xiao Rui turned his head and looked in the direction of Dingxiang City, feeling secretly resentful that Jieli was right in front of him, so close...
Everyone can see it and understand Xiao Rui's reluctance.
Wei Zheng tugged on him, but did not move. Why are you still so stubborn? Fortunately, I'm here, someone else wouldn't be able to do it.
Xiao Rui turned and looked at Xue Li. Xue Li understood. He came out and said loudly: "Brother, come with me to Liangguo for a walk. It's just a way to relax. You and I haven't seen each other for two years. Let's go to Liangguo to see you." Look, check my little brother’s ability to govern the people.”
Um? ? ? Wei Zheng is a good man, why don't he understand what this means? He looked at Xue Li dissatisfied and thought to himself that he had persuaded him to leave right away. Why are you causing more trouble?
Xiao Rui nodded, "That's fine. Master Liang dares to take advantage of the battle to cause chaos in your rear. You are really looking for death. It's not easy for you to do anything. Brother, I will help you get rid of this harm!"
you……
Xue Li cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister Wei, I'm sorry for you junior. To be disrespectful, Liang Guo has not yet surrendered to Chang'an Xiancheng, so I can't go back with you. I will take people back to sort out everything, soldiers, money and food books, etc. , so that we can communicate with His Majesty the Emperor of Chang'an."
Wei Zheng was so angry that his chest was heaving. He stared at Xiao Rui and reprimanded: "You insist on beating me? Do you want your life?"
Everyone thought that Xiao Rui would have a tough battle with his father-in-law, but Xiao Rui smiled casually, bowed respectfully to his father-in-law, and then said seriously: "Please forgive me, father-in-law, and let me go my own way this time." Jie Li If I don't get rid of him, I will feel uneasy. For the safety of Yan'er and the children, and to be able to accompany them with peace of mind in the future, I will never let him go this time. Even if there are no soldiers or soldiers, I, Xiao Rui, will do it with one hand and one arm. Find a way to get things done.”
you……
Wei Zheng was speechless and almost died of anger.
Xue Li laughed and stood next to Xiao Rui, "How could it be? We are brothers who fight tigers. The younger brother still has more than 10,000 remnant soldiers, and they all join his brother and fight with Jie Li! If it weren't for your letter to stop me, I would have done it a year ago I went to assassinate him myself.”
Everyone around was stunned when they heard this, thinking that these two brothers were really fearless. Such a deep brotherhood, Prime Minister Xue Li was willing to personally assassinate Jie Li for the sake of his brother. Xiao Rui is really lucky to have such a person as his sworn brother.
Hou Junji, Qin Shubao and others stood up, but before they could speak, they were stopped by Old Li Jing.
"All retreat! Withdrawal is the emperor's order, and the emperor's order cannot be violated! Don't forget, whose troops are you leading?"
Whose soldiers? of course? Of course they are His Majesty the Emperor's soldiers. Everyone, look at me and I look at you. After all, we don’t dare to commit this taboo.
Wei Zheng looked at old Li Jing and said with his eyes, "You should also give me some advice. He is also your grandson-in-law."
Old Li Jing also complained in his heart. Of course I know he is my grandson-in-law, but he has never listened to me. If he could control it, he would have withdrawn his troops long ago. Why do you still need to make this trip?
After pondering for a moment, Old Li Jing gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Send an order for each battalion to go back and pack their bags and withdraw tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other and bowed down to accept the order.
Old Li Jing ordered the general again: "Where is Su Lie?"
Su Lie stood up happily and said, "The general is here!"
"Su Lie, listen to the order! The champion will accompany General Xue Li to Liang Guo to quell the chaos. Now I have specially ordered you to escort the champion. You lead the troops and horses of the army and obey the orders of the champion. Protect his safety every step of the way. If anything goes wrong, I will ask you!"
Su Lie knelt down on one knee and beat his chest: "General, I will take the order. If the Marquis makes any mistake, Su Lie will come to see you."
This is blatant favoritism. The emperor ordered the troops to return to the court, but you gave Xiao Rui 10,000 cavalry? Does this mean that Su Lie's 10,000 troops are Xiao Rui's private soldiers? This is a big taboo.
Everyone opened their mouths and wanted to persuade but no one spoke. A smart person like Li Ji pulled Qin Shubao and turned around and left. "Don't look, we don't know anything, we haven't seen anything."
Wei Zheng pointed at Old Li Jing, who sighed: "You can't just watch him die, right? I will bear all the blame."
"You should order him to be kidnapped and taken back." Wei Zheng said angrily.
Li Jing shook his head, "Can the person who kidnapped him be able to tie his heart?"
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Xiao Rui bowed to old Li Jing without any extra words of thanks.
Then he promised Wei Zheng and old Li Jing: "Go back to Chang'an and help me tell His Majesty that Xiao Rui will hold Jie Li's head to apologize to him."
Wei Zheng hated the iron and said: "What kind of head do you want? Come back to me safely!"
Xiao Rui smiled and said nothing, leading Xue Li and Su Lie back to organize the troops.
Early the next morning, the Tang Army camp was demolished and people from all walks of life slowly evacuated. Xue Li, Xiao Rui, Su Lie and others also led their troops to retreat southward.
The general guarding the city in Dingxiang immediately reported to Jie Li. Jie Li and Zhao Deyan walked up to the city and took a look, heaving a long sigh of relief, "Withdraw, finally withdrew! This Xiao Rui is really lingering, even after the battle." At this level, no one wants to fight, but he still stares at him. A person's prestige can affect a national war, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really loves him."
Zhao Deyan shook his head and said: "This is not just a matter of the Emperor's favor. Without the cooperation of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor's favor is useless. This shows how terrifying Xiao Rui is. No wonder the princes of the Tang Dynasty are afraid of him. Haha, the emperor can still do it after all. Restrain him, otherwise we wouldn’t have withdrawn our troops.”
"This person is too overbearing and will be tabooed by the king over time. Military advisor, you can think of something to do in the future." Jie Li warned.
"I understand, don't worry, Khan, I'll leave it to you." Zhao Deyan assured with a pat on his chest.
Jie Li smiled and said: "Since the Tang army has withdrawn, we should stop sitting around stupidly and order the withdrawal. Winter is about to come, and each tribe has to deal with winter."
Coping with winter? You should think about how to deal with Xiao Rui. He is known as a man who will retaliate, so how can he give up so easily?
