The battle didn't last long but it wasn't short either.
Although they are all Tang soldiers and wear similar armor, they can still recognize who is one of their own and who is against them during the battle.
After Hou Junji personally chopped down the people who were hostile to him to the ground, the angry Tang army, of course, the ones who ambushed Hou Junji did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, they were led by some brave soldiers and shouted loudly to avenge the general. .
"They want to plot evil. We, the warriors, must deal with them and not leave any trouble for our Tang Dynasty."
Hou Junji didn't have any objection to this, but his eyes were a little wet.
They are all good men of the Tang Dynasty. Under the leadership of these people with ulterior motives, they actually did such a thing that makes those close to them angry and the enemies happy. What should we do?
Hou Junji was waving the weapon in his hand and talking.
"Everyone, please stop. You can follow us to see if we are these traitors. The actual situation is that your general has done such a good thing."
After Hou Junji finished speaking, these people would not listen to what Hou Junji said at all.
"You want to trick us into putting down our weapons and then kill us? We won't believe you."
Hou Junji was so helpless, they predicted that Hou Junji would not exist.
Even if Hou Junji took out Li Shimin's order from his arms and waved it around, no one would believe him.
Under such circumstances, Hou Junji was even more helpless and could only speak there.
"I don't want to send all the heroes on the road. Their relatives will be our relatives in the future, and we cannot let them be bullied in any way.
You are all our most loyal and benevolent people in the Tang Dynasty. Why so confused? "
No matter how Hou Junji shouted, did or said, the people in front of him had no intention of believing him.
The bloody battle continued, and when it finally ended, Hou Junji's side suffered thousands of casualties, while thousands of people on the other side were also killed on the spot. Even those who were injured, even those captured by Hou Junji, glared angrily.
Hou Junji looked at them.
"Why can't you trust us? If you're not even afraid of death, why don't you trust me?
Why don't you follow me for a while? "
It's just that although the rank of the soldier in front of him is not high and the treatment is not good, he still knows the basic truth. Opening his mouth means that the soldier can be killed and cannot be humiliated.
Some people were too obsessed with killing themselves to achieve benevolence. Hou Junji shouted not to let these people force him, but these people didn't know what they were thinking. After Hou Junji shouted, they even glared at Hou Junji.
"You just want us to join in the same deeds with you. We live as people with capital letters. After joining the same deeds with you, we don't want to be poked in the back by others."
Hou Junji is so helpless!
"Why don't you believe that I was ordered to come here?"
"hehe!"
As soon as Hou Junji finished talking about his eyes, these people laughed.
He smiled so proudly that he no longer felt any pain even though he was seriously injured.
"If you were ordered, why didn't you go to Tongguan and take the official road to the main road? Even if you were to walk on the path in the woods, you must have been wary, and you didn't want others to discover your traces.
My lord found out about the situation and ambushed you on the way. It's just my lord's bad luck that got in your way. "
The more these people talked about Hou Junji, the more they seemed to regard him as a person who did all kinds of evil. Hou Junji was so helpless, they could only say helplessly as they looked at him.
"Okay, even if what you said is right, I am not taking you as prisoners to make you collude with me. Even if you are really defeated by the Tang army, you are not on the same side as me when you are rescued. .
What do you have to worry about? I just don’t want you to die here. Look at what you are like now. Why don’t you do it for me, Datang?
Regardless of life or death, you have been so seriously injured. I think you should live well! "
What Hou Junji said was reasonable and reasonable, which made the people in front of him couldn't help but light up.
Indeed, as Hou Junji said, they should live, and what Hou Junji said is also reasonable. It was really Hou Junji who made some changes. They had a battle with Hou Junji, and they were seriously injured and captured before being rescued. There won't be any trouble.
As long as they are rescued, it proves that Hou Junji has been defeated, and that Hou Junji is a bad guy. They will not have any trouble if they fight the bad guy.
Moreover, their rescue proved that they were on the right side. Maybe they could get unexpected gains and some rewards from fighting with Hou Junji?
After all the hard talk, Hou Junji finally took advantage of the fact that the seriously injured people in front of him were exhausted and signaled his soldiers to rush in quickly and capture them all.
As soon as they were captured, some generals came to Hou Junji next to him.
"General, we lost more than a thousand men this time."
Hou Junji looked a little ugly.
"They are all heroes who have fought for the Tang Dynasty. It is really sad that they have ended up like this. Give me my order."
As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, everyone stood up straight.
“Bury them here and give them back to their families with their identification tags, and be sure to properly arrange for their families.
As for those who died here, they should also be buried generously. But their general and family couldn't let him go no matter what. "
After Hou Junji finished speaking, fire was about to burst out of his eyes.
"They don't know where they heard the order, so I would actually plot evil? This is an order from His Majesty!"
Hou Junji once again unfolded the imperial edict, and the bright red seal on it all proved its authenticity. While Hou Junji shouted loudly, the person in front of him lowered his head as if he might have done something wrong. look.
But Hou Junji didn't give them much trouble.
"Everyone, raise your heads. You are executing military orders and fighting for me, the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to lower your heads here. Although I have caught you now, you have also been deceived by traitors.
Again, I'll take you to Chang'an, and stay alive along the way. Don't die. I won't treat you like ordinary people, and will treat you like prisoners of war.
You guys think I really have an agenda, and you will be implicated with me later. As long as you go to Chang'an, everything will be explained. Could it be that the closer I get to Chang'an, the more you think I will have a few bloody battles with the Tang army? ? impossible! "
Hou Junji finished speaking loudly, waved his hand, and led many soldiers forward quickly.
Now that such a situation has occurred here, he is very worried about whether Li Chengqian will encounter any difficulties in Chang'an City.
However, not long after Hou Junji left, some figures appeared in the woods.
Looking at Hou Junji's army retreating away, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Waste, really waste! You can't even defeat Hou Junji just because of the terrain. You are really a waste.
But this is more able to fulfill Hou Junji's reputation. If he didn't walk from Tongguan, he walked into the woods and fought with the Tang army. You don't have a problem, who does? Hahaha! "
As they remembered these laughter, those people turned their heads and walked deeper into the woods.
Soon, some more pigeons flew out from the woods, but what no one noticed was that they were flying through a forest. Under the woods, there was a pigeon that cooed hard at them and then closed its eyes and fell down. It fell to the ground, and this pigeon still had half of a sharp arrow stuck in its body. In Chang'an City, Li Chengqian was very happy after receiving the message. Of course, his Tiance Guard generals received his order and began to return.
Although it had not been long since they left Chang'an City, and some of them had not even arrived at the place arranged by Li Chengqian, after they received Li Chengqian's order, they began to return as soon as possible, and at the same time they also delivered the letter to the people they had arranged to go to. The place.
There is only one request, to return to Chang'an City with all the people that can be summoned.
Although they don't know what Li Chengqian did this time, they believe in Li Chengqian.
Although some people had not received news that Li Shimin was seriously ill because they were traveling on the road, Li Chengqian, as a general of Tiance and the Crown Prince, had won the trust of His Majesty and asked them to return to Chang'an, so they had to return to Chang'an.
What's more, they have nothing to worry about. Could it be that the current prince will rebel against his father?
This is impossible, not to mention that their fathers are all in Chang'an City. Can they be the opponents of their fathers when they return?
If nothing else, there is a sentence from their fathers. It is very intriguing whether the people who follow them listen to themselves or their elders.
One piece of good news after another kept reaching Li Chengqian's hands.
But soon, a Jin Yiwei knelt down on one knee in front of Li Chengqian.
"Report, Your Highness, something bad has happened!"
Something bad happened, and Li Chengqian's face was full of displeasure.
"Everything is good news now, but bad news suddenly came to me during the gathering. Who is feeling uncomfortable?"
However, Li Chengqian was indeed Li Chengqian, so he looked at the person in front of him and spoke a little tiredly.
"Tell me, what's going on? Is there something serious going wrong?"
As soon as Li Chengqian finished asking, the soldiers in front of him hurriedly looked around in front of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at him a little speechless.
"What are you looking at? These two are our Tiance Guard's own brothers. Could there be any problems?"
This Jin Yiwei lowered his head after Li Chengqian complained, as if he had done something wrong.
"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, so it is best to let the person you trust the most know about it."
"The people in front of me are the ones Gu can trust. Aren't any of them Gu's right-hand men?"
Li Chengqian's words are very good and powerful, and they are good at winning people's hearts.
Now half of Li Chengqian's subordinates are his left arm and half are his right arm. This is unmistakable.
After Li Chengqian expressed his opinion, Jin Yiwei had no choice but to sigh and tell Li Chengqian what Xu Yunwen had lost all trace of for a while.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment.
"What are you talking about? Didn't we just get the news that the master went to Xiangzhou, and then from Xiangzhou to Yunzhou, and more manpower was added? Why is there suddenly no trace of the master? Is it possible that these tens of thousands of cavalry can still be so powerful? Is it possible to become a living person and disappear?"
But just after Li Chengqian finished speaking, the man in brocade was a little speechless.
"This... Your Highness, please forgive me. I don't know what kind of ability the champion has, but he really managed to escape from our sight with more than ten thousand cavalry without even realizing it. Really, this is also a situation that we can't figure out." ."
Li Chengqian curled his lips helplessly.
"This is not a big deal. Master won't come back to Chang'an City to fight against us, right? I just don't want you to know that it may be a secret.
Maybe go to the route where the Turks are marching and prepare to repair the Turks? After all, the master has hidden his traces. Even if there are some Turks in the Tang Dynasty, they will not know the traces of the master. "
