Xu Yunyan was leisurely recovering from his injuries in Yunzhou and restoring the vitality of Yunzhou, and he was living a comfortable life.
Li Shimin, who was facing Jieli Khan, also had a comfortable life. He was defeated step by step by Jieli Khan and kept singing triumphant songs. One after another, news of success reached Chang'an.
However, Li Shimin was so busy that after receiving the news about Xu Yunyan, Li Shimin did not have time to arrange for the important officials around him to contact Xu Yunyan.
Li Shimin lived very comfortably, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had no discomfort.
But Liu Heitai, who is on the front line, is very uncomfortable now."
What exactly is going on? Why is this Tang army so brave as if he has taken medicine? "
After being defeated again, Liu Heitai became even more angry when he looked at the generals in front of him.
"Can't you guys compete with me, Brother Su, Brother Xu? When they were here, no Tang army was our opponent. They both went out to recruit troops. How come you were defeated so miserably?"
Liu Heitai said this, which made the generals in front of them speechless towards Su Dingfang and Xu Yunyan.
But just when these generals were speechless, Xu Yunyan ushered in another Tang Army messenger who came to surrender.
"you are?"
Seeing the information that came here arrogantly, Xu Yunyan dealt with it carefully, but his heart was no longer enthusiastic.
"What are Li Shimin doing? Why are you so high-profile?"
But before Xu Yunyan could think clearly, the messenger raised his hand to Xu Yunyan and said, "I am His Royal Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty, Yuwen Baobao, who joined the army."
After the messenger revealed his identity here, Xu Yunyan's heart beat loudly, "I wonder what Mr. Yuwen came to Yunzhou for?"
"Xu Yunyan, have you forgotten your identity? Didn't you say that you want to be loyal to His Highness? Now His Highness King Qi orders you to gather all your troops to attack Liu Heita."
Li Changsheng, who was sitting next to Xu Yunyan, was a little surprised and couldn't help but complain.
"Where did this come from? Why are you here to win over Xu Yunyan? Even if you are a member of King Qi Li Yuanji, you can't do this. General Xu is loyal to His Highness the King of Qin, although there is no way to say it clearly now."
But I was even more afraid that this man was a minion arranged by Liu Heitai.
"Lord Yuwen, where do we start with this? No matter what I do now, I need to recruit troops first, right? In the Yunzhou battle, I lost all my elites. I only have these 300 people, and now there are less than 500. How can I pinch Liu Hei? Ta?"
However, Yu Wenbao didn't care about Xu Yunyan's excuse. Instead, he said, "Now that I have delivered the message, you can make your own decision on what to do. I won't stay in this bitter cold place for a long time. I'll say goodbye."
This Yu Wenbao was really surprising. After sending Yu Wenbao away, Xu Yunyan looked at Li Changsheng next to him.
"Brother Li, His Highness the King of Qin, is so familiar with His Highness the King of Qi? Why was the news immediately sent to His Highness the King of Qi?"
Li Changsheng was not very clear about this and immediately said, "Could it be Liu Heitai's people? Did you come here deliberately to see if the general is after him?"
This moment made Xu Yunyan a little surprised, but Xu Yunyan soon smiled, feeling extremely proud in his heart.
"Whatever it is, the New Year will be in a few days. After the New Year, let's go to the front line.
If the prediction is correct, the sixth day of the first lunar month is the day Liu Heitai was captured. Calculating that there are still ten days left, what is there to be afraid of? Could it be that in these ten days Liu Heitai could come to Yunzhou regardless of the fighting situation on the front line? "
Xu Yunyan ignored Yu Wenbao, but Li Changsheng could not ignore these things.
Instead, Li Changsheng immediately wrote these things into a secret letter, and found an absolutely trustworthy confidant to ask him to go to Li Shimin with the secret letter to find out what was going on.
And just after the messenger left, Yunzhou ushered in the New Year.
On the eve of the New Year, no matter how mature Xu Yunyan is, she can't help but feel a little homesick here.
"I am seventeen years old this year. I have been practicing martial arts for six years. It will take more than a thousand years to see my family!"
While Xu Yunyan was sighing here, Li Changsheng brought some highly respected people elected by Yunzhou to pay Xu Yunyan New Year's greetings.
"Happy New Year, Governor!"
At this moment, Xu Yunyan's thoughts drifted to the front of his eyes again, "How can I trouble you all? I should be paying New Year greetings to all the seniors. How can I let you come here? It's really my fault!"
Come on, come on, come and have a glass of wine to warm yourself up in the Governor's Mansion. "
However, after these elders came to Yunzhou Governor's Mansion, they found that they were like drunkards who were not interested in drinking.
"I wonder what the elders are here for? Looking at the way these people were hesitant to speak, Xu Yunyan asked this directly."
Li Changsheng immediately said, "Captain, these few people also love the Tang Dynasty. They also know the governor's plan and are here to help him."
"Oh? What does this mean?"
Xu Yunyan glanced at Li Changsheng a little curiously, but also a little complaining.
As the saying goes, those who keep things secret will succeed, and those who reveal things will fail. How can you be so careless about keeping secrets?
When Xu Yunyan was asking about the situation, one of the old men stood up and gave Xu Yunyan a fist.
"Governor Xu, although I don't have much authority in Yunzhou, I am still a bit mean-spirited in other counties in Yunzhou. I want Zhang Jiaerlang to come to Yunzhou to help the governor."
When the old man said this, Xu Yunyan felt like a bright mirror in his heart. This is a serious family that can raise a private army.
Not only can he protect himself, he can also find a higher value for himself at the right time. Now that he sees Liu Heitai dying, he wants to catch up with the Tang Dynasty through his own line, and continue to sit there in this cloud. Leader.
Xu Yunyan felt a little embarrassed at this moment and pondered here for a long time.
If they don't agree, these people will solve it first without any hesitation. With their strength, it should be easy to do this.
It is not impossible for them to transform themselves into the Tang Army after exchanging a large reward from Liu Heita.
The aristocratic family is something that shouldn't exist, but now that my strength is so weak, how can I go against them?
But if you can't offend them, then stabilize them first.
"In that case, I will help you all. After the New Year, I will take people to the front line to wait for opportunities. In this way, Yunzhou will help you."
After Xu Yunyan made this choice, even Li Changsheng couldn't help but compliment him happily.
"Captain Xu understands righteousness so well, how can we not help him? I have three hundred people from the Zhang family."
After the old man named Zhang finished speaking, the other man next to him stood up immediately.
"My Pan family also has three hundred people."
"My Zhao family..."
"My Qian family..."
Other aristocratic families also contributed their efforts here, and Xu Yunhui had two thousand men under him in an instant.
With men and horses in hand, Xu Yunyan was happy. "In that case, you can see for yourself how to defend Yunzhou. I will not comment on this matter."
