"Something happened? I gave him the power to mobilize the troops of the thirty-two northern states. What can happen to him?"
In the Manlu Hall, Li Er couldn't help but speak out after hearing Li Tai's worried words.
When Li Er thought about it, no matter how powerful Wu Jie was, how could he threaten Li Zexuan who had a heavy army? Grand masters are also human beings, not gods!
When Li Tai heard this, he felt a little relieved, but then he frowned again and said: "Father, Wu Jie suddenly sneaked into the Tang Dynasty this time. Was it under the instruction of Jieli Khan? And will Jieli Khan return the favor?" Does he have a back-up plan? For example, he has a large number of troops hidden on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. Once Wu Jie succeeds, the Turkic army will send troops into the pass to respond? "
When Li Er heard this, his expression suddenly turned serious. After being silent for a while, he nodded and said: "Qingque, your analysis is good. This situation is indeed very possible! It should be that Li Zexuan has created many magic weapons for the Tang Dynasty this year. Sharp weapon, after hearing the news, Jieli sent Wu Jie, a great master, to sneak into Yunshan to steal it. In this way, Jieli must have a back-up plan! Humph! I didn’t expect that Jieli, who was considered a powerful figure in the world after all, actually sent someone Doing such a sneaky thing!"
After saying that, Li Er couldn't help but slap the table and stood up.
Li Tai stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Father, if this is really the case, then the situation of the mountain commander is not good! The results of the deduction between you and several generals this afternoon said that Wu Jie is likely to arrive at Longmen Pass in the evening. The mountain commander Being extremely intelligent, he can definitely guess Wu Jie's marching route, but time is tight. Even if he can mobilize troops and horses in Bingzhou, it is impossible to gather more than 50,000 troops and horses in a short period of time. If Wu Jie and the Turks ambush The troops in the Tang Dynasty should cooperate with the outside world, and the mountain commander leads a lone army at Longmen Pass. They will definitely not be able to stop Wu Jie from escaping north, and there may even be danger!"
The little fat man who wanted to compete with Li Zexuan at the beginning is now racking his brains, putting himself in Li Zexuan's shoes and starting to think about Li Zexuan's safety. I have to say that Li Zexuan has a special charm and personality charm!
How could Li Er not know what Li Tai said? Li Zexuan is the most valued hero among the younger generation of Datang. He doesn't want anything to happen to Li Zexuan, but what can he do if he doesn't? At this time, Li Zexuan was hundreds of miles away from the capital. If something happened, it would have already happened!
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but walk around in front of the hall with his hands behind his hands.
"Didi didi~!"
At this moment, the telegraph machine placed on the small square table next to Li Tai suddenly made a beeping sound!
"Swish"!
The father and son unanimously turned their attention to the telegraph machine. Soon, Li Tai came back to his senses, quickly picked up a pen and paper, and began to record.
After a while, the telegraph stopped beeping, and Li Er quickly asked: "How is it? Did Li Zexuan send it?"
"Father, this is not a telegram from the mountain chief!"
Unexpectedly, Li Tai shook his head. Seeing Li Er's eyes showing confusion, he quickly explained: "It's from Meng Wenhao!"
While talking, Li Tai had already sent a string of telegraph codes to indicate that he was next to the telegraph machine.
"Oh? Is it the news about Shubao, Zhijie and the others?"
Li Er's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice.
Li Tai nodded and said, "It should be!"
"Didi dididi~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the telegraph machine started to ring again. This time the telegraph machine rang for a long time. Li Er looked at it with dismay. The main reason was that he could not understand this "non-human" language, so he felt Time passed very slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the telegraph machine finally stopped ringing. Li Er knew that Li Tai was going to start translating the telegrams next, so he did not disturb him.
However, as Li Tai translated the codes sentence by sentence against the code book, his expression gradually became serious. When Li Er saw this, his heart suddenly sank and he quickly asked: "Qingque, but the situation on the front line has changed? "
Li Tai took the rice paper recording the translated message, stood up and said with a serious face: "Father, General Qin's troops have arrived in Puzhou, and just now, news came from the scouts ahead that 50,000 Turks The army attacked Yanmen Pass and Yanmen Pass was defeated. Yunzhou, Daizhou, Yuzhou and Shuozhou all mobilized their troops to prevent the Turkic army from continuing to move south!"
"What? An army of 50,000 Turks broke through Yanmen Pass?"
Li Er's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly came to Li Tai and asked, "What about Li Zexuan? Did he stop Wu Jie and take back the Yanhuang Academy information?"
Li Tai handed over the rice paper in his hands and said: "Back to my father, Wen Hao said that the situation at Longmen Pass is still unknown. General Qin and the others are marching overnight towards Longmen Pass. They are expected to arrive in Jiangzhou at the third watch. Longmen Pass!"
When the governors of the four northern states learned that Yanmen Pass had been breached, they sent many messengers on fast horses south to prepare the state capitals to guard against Turks. Therefore, although the armies led by Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde were still In Puzhou, the scouts sent out were able to get the news that Yanmen Pass in the north had been broken!
"Okay! Immediately send a telegram to tell Shubao that no matter what, the Turkic soldiers and horses cannot be allowed to join Wujie and take the academy's books out of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er's face was as dark as water. He nodded and ordered in a deep voice.
Li Er is not worried about the fifty thousand Turkic army entering the Tang Dynasty, because after more than two years of recuperation, the Tang Dynasty is definitely strong and powerful. In the ninth year of Wude, a mere hundred thousand Turkic army could arrive. The situation in Chang'an City cannot happen again now. His main worry is that after the 50,000 Turkic army arrived at Wujie, they took the confidential information from the academy and quickly fled back to the grassland. If that time comes, those from the academy will Confidential information really can’t be found!
"Yes! Father!"
Li Tai responded, quickly sat down by the telegraph machine again, and continued to send telegrams.
……………………
Hundreds of miles away from Chang'an City, Puzhou, Baoding County.
Both sides of the official road were filled with black troops. They were taking a temporary break.
"General Qin, Your Majesty asked us to rush to Longmen Pass as quickly as possible. We must not let the Turkic army join Wu Jie and take the academy's information out of the Tang Dynasty!"
Meng Wenhao held a piece of rice paper, came to Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others, and said with his hands.
Hearing this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but nodded and said: "The Holy One also saw that Wu Jie will definitely pass through Longmen Pass. In this case, let's continue marching and we must reach Longmen Pass within two hours!"
Not only were Li Er, Li Jing and others able to predict that Wu Jie might encounter Li Zexuan at Longmen Pass, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde, who had experienced hundreds of battles, could also predict the march of their army. The route is very clear. After leaving Chang'an City, we go straight to Longmen Pass, basically without any detours!
"That's right! The military situation is like a raging fire, and time waits for no one! Come on, pass the order, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies will mount their horses immediately and continue marching!"
Yuchi Jingde shouted and ordered.
"Here!"
After a while, 10,000 elite soldiers mounted their horses again and continued to gallop under the leadership of Qin Qiong. This time Qin Qiong led all light cavalry, which were outstanding for their strong maneuverability and fast marching speed!
In addition, Meng Wenhao went to Zhengzhou with the army last time, and he was quite proficient in riding horses, otherwise he would have suffered a lot this time with the army!
……………………
"Master Hou was injured in his internal organs, and then forced to perform exercises. This hurts his vitality! I am not good at martial arts, so I can only prescribe a prescription for calming the mind, nourishing qi, strengthening the body, and cultivating the body. As for Master Hou, what's wrong with him? It’s hard to say if you can wake up when the time comes!”
Longmenguan, inside the turret.
Two government soldiers finally "tied" a famous doctor from Longmen County to diagnose and treat Li Zexuan. After checking Li Zexuan's pulse, the old doctor couldn't help but shook his head and said with a heavy face.
"What do you mean? Dr. Liu, aren't you the best famous doctor in Longmen County? Why can't you cure Mr. Hou?"
A soldier who brought the old doctor to Longmen Pass said anxiously when he heard this.
The other three soldiers in the room also looked at Doctor Liu with red eyes.
The white-bearded old man suddenly looked embarrassed. He sighed: "Liu has no martial arts skills and is only good at treating external injuries. But Mr. Hou suffered internal injuries. There is really nothing I can do for him. Please ask a few people to hire someone else! I am Mr. Hou." Prescribing a prescription may be able to alleviate the Marquis's injuries a little!"
After that, he ignored the angry stares of several people in the room and started writing the prescription.
"No! You must save Mr. Hou! Mr. Hou is a good man. There was a big locust plague in your Longmen County a while ago. If His Highness the King of Shu hadn't led the Hou Ye's Tianji Brigade to help eliminate the locust plague here, Longmen County would have been affected. There will definitely be a famine this year! If you don't cure the Marquis, how can you live with your conscience?"
A bearded soldier stood up and spoke to the old man unwillingly.
In fact, Li Ke's locust extermination team not only exterminated locusts in Longmen County, but many counties in Bingzhou also accepted the favor of Li Ke and Li Zexuan. Therefore, seeing Li Zexuan unconscious, many people followed Li Zexuan to the Longmen Pass mansion. The soldiers were secretly anxious in their hearts, wishing they could take their own lives!
This is the will of the people! This is what goes around comes around!
Hearing the words, the old man couldn't help but paused. He straightened up slowly and said with a sad face: "How come I don't know that Lord Marquis is a good man? How do I not know that the locust plague in Longmen County was eliminated because of the help of Lord Marquis' Tianji Brigade?" Grant? It’s just that I can’t do anything about it. If I could, I would be willing to risk my own life in exchange for the life of the Marquis! But I can’t get it back! If you want the Marquis to wake up as soon as possible, you must find someone who is proficient in medicine. As far as I know, the only expert in the family who can do this today is Dr. Sun!"
"Miracle Doctor Sun? Doctor Sun should still be in Chang'an, how can he come in time?"
The bearded soldier couldn't help but said after hearing this.
"Captain Lu, it's not good! A large number of cavalry holding torches were found twenty miles away from the north, heading towards Longmen Pass!"
At this moment, a soldier ran in quickly, bowed and clasped his fists to the bearded soldier.
It turned out that this guy was actually a captain in Bingzhou Camp.
"What? A large number of cavalry are approaching Longmen Pass? Are they soldiers from other places?"
The bearded colonel rolled his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly changed.
"I can't see clearly the people and horses in that place! But they are marching very fast, and they will arrive outside Longmen Pass in a short time!"
The soldier replied with clasped fists.
The bearded captain's face darkened and he said, "Let's go! Follow me to the tower to have a look!"
After saying that, he then remembered the white-haired old man next to him, and he said: "Doctor Liu, don't worry, someone will take you back to the county town after you finish filling the prescription. Even if the other party is the enemy, they can't hurt you." !”
The old man shook his head and said calmly: "Commander Lu, let's go now. I've already lived to this age, so what else do I have to be afraid of?"
