Xu Yunyan and the convoy continued to move towards the west.
After Xu Yunyan led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to confront the 200,000-strong army that was defeated by Si Li, in a sheltered valley in the Northland, several guys who almost turned into savages were anxiously wiping their swords in front of them. the man said.
"Brother, are we really going to help? But can we really make any waves with just our few people?"
The man who was cleaning his sword raised his head and looked at the brothers who were out patrolling and investigating, and spoke seriously.
"That's the champion, the benefactor I've been waiting for. I don't have any other abilities, but I still know how to repay a favor.
If you brothers don’t dare to go, I will go first!
Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. As long as you can kill a few more, death is worth it. "
Guan Qiu Zhengyi explained to his brothers sternly, but these people couldn't help but clenched their fists.
"What the elder brother said is true, we are as cowardly as rats.
However, I think there should be no problem with the champion's deployment. What the champion is best at is using inferior troops to attack superior troops.
As long as the champion attacks the Turks, the combat power of the first unit behind the champion will be more than doubled! "
A friend's joke made everyone present burst into laughter.
"What you said is true, then do you dare to follow me to support the champion?"
Guan Chou once again asked the people in front of him if anyone had the courage to go with him to support Xu Yunyan.
In Xu Yunyan's heart, Guan Chou was not just a benefactor, but also a sponsor in all aspects of his current life.
As soon as Guan Qiu finished speaking, a young man who was investigating intelligence quickly came out from outside.
Face rushed in, shouting as he rushed.
"Good news, great news."
Looking at the younger brother who rushed in, Guan Chou and others were very curious.
"What's wrong? What good news? Did the champion defeat the Turks?"
Guan Chou didn't know what was going on, and he was full of mysterious confidence in Xu Yunyan. After the new younger brother brought new information, Guan Chou asked anxiously.
The news brought by this new younger brother did not disappoint Guan Chou. The guy nodded hurriedly here.
"The eldest brother is the eldest brother who knows everything well. The champion has indeed defeated the Turkic soldiers and horses."
Then he immediately told the story of Xu Yunyan's three victories against the main Turkic forces.
Guan Qiu couldn't help but clap his hands beside him.
"The champion prince is really a champion prince. He first defeated the wise king of the Turks on the left, then defeated the Khan of the Turks Zhisi Sili, and then defeated the wise king of the Turks on the right.
Of the 200,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, less than a thousand escaped. How majestic! I wish I could go on the field and fight side by side with the champion. I am really ashamed! "
But just after Guan Chou finished speaking, the younger brother next to him said something next to him, maybe because he felt that Guan Chou's big words were too shameless.
"But there are less than a hundred people left in Champion Hou's command. If we go, they might all be dead.
How good it is now that we can still live in the North. As long as there are Turks bullying our people, we can take action. "
Guan Chou looked at the younger brother in front of him and scratched his head helplessly.
They are right. There are more than a hundred of them, no matter how many Turks they kill, what kind of waves can they make?
Xu Yunyan's 100,000 elite Anbei army has less than a hundred people left. What kind of combat power can they, who have become monks on the way, have?
But there is
The news about Xu Yunyan also made Guan Chou quite happy.
It was just that Guan Chou had just arranged for his younger brothers to slaughter some cattle and sheep to celebrate the victory of the Tang army in the north, when another messenger rushed in in a panic.
"Brother, something bad happened, something big happened!"
Guan Chou, the younger brother who saw him rushing in, looked at him suspiciously.
"What happened again? Wasn't it a great victory in the North? There were less than a thousand people who lost the Sili Dog Thief and escaped. What's there to worry about?"
But as soon as Guan Qiu finished speaking, the man who came to deliver the letter started talking here.
"It's the Champion, and the Champion had an accident.
In the process of chasing Zhi Shi Si Li, Zhi Shi Si Li jumped off the cliff. When the champion went to catch him, he lost his footing and fell down the cliff. "
"What?"
Guan Qiu suddenly jumped up from his seat.
"How could this be? No! I'm going to see how the champion is doing."
Guan Chou was extremely worried. Champion Hou was his benefactor after all, but just when Guan Chou was about to move forward, the soldier was talking here.
"It was too late. Where the champion fell, Sili Phua's brain burst and died on the spot. However, the champion only found his armor. The whereabouts of the champion are unknown."
When it comes to the whereabouts of Guan Chou's benefactor, Guan Chou seems to have lost his soul.
"I'm going to see it, I'm going to see it no matter what."
Seeing Guan Chou blindly get on his horse, control the horse and walk out, the younger brothers next to him also immediately mounted their horses to guard him.
You can celebrate at any time, but if you propose to celebrate in this situation now, maybe Guan Qiu will turn around and talk to them directly with a knife.
Guan Qiu marched north to find
Although there were not many people to look for traces of Xu Yunyan, after walking not far, those shrewd brothers had prepared all the priest's items, and a team wearing sackcloth and filial piety appeared.
There was another team marching to the north. Hou Junji and Li Shentong looked at Li Chengqian who was dumbfounded and could only mutter impossibility after receiving new battle reports, and moved forward anxiously.
"What happened to His Royal Highness? Didn't we have a great victory in the North?"
It was only after Hou Junji and Li Shentong asked Li Chengqian that they reacted. He staggered and fell directly to the ground.
"Impossible, I don't believe it! How could such a situation happen? Is there no way to break the champion's bad luck?"
Before Hou Junji and Li Shentong could go forward and ask what was going on? Li Chengqian's words about the champion's bad luck caused the two of them to be struck by lightning.
"Championship is the glory of military commanders, but there is always a devil's law. Champions all die young. Is this the case?"
Hou Junji and Li Shentong's originally agile postures immediately became numb. They walked forward tremblingly, picked up the urgent letter in Li Chengqian's hand, and opened it.
The last few big characters made them fall to the ground like Li Chengqian.
"As expected, the champion is not a good person!"
Hou Junji said such a sentence, and everyone present knew what Hou Junji meant.
In fact, Hou Junji is not bad, but the champion Hou is not a good thing, not the person, but the official position is not good.
Li Shentong then echoed, "Yes! We are still too stupid. We should have known this. No matter what, we cannot let His Majesty seal Li
General Champion Hou, you have defeated a good general of our Tang Dynasty for nothing! "
Li Shentong and Hou Junji cried bitterly in front of Li Chengqian, which shocked the guards surrounding them even more.
"The meaning behind these words is that the champion had an accident?"
A young general from Tiance Guard said this, and other generals who didn't know what was going on immediately gathered around him.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
Looking at the many young generals of Tiance Guard who had gathered around, Li Chengqian shed two lines of tears in their eyes.
"Master had an accident."
This time it can be said to be a big explosion.
These days, the little generals in charge of the defense are chattering hurriedly.
"What happened?"
They now completely lost any respect for His Highness the Crown Prince and kept asking what happened.
Li Chengqian looked at this one and then that one, and finally sighed and said something.
“Master had an accident when he was chasing Shili Si.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhi Shi Si Li jumped off the cliff. Master also went to catch him, but he lost his footing and fell down the cliff!
Zhi Shili's brain burst and died on the spot, and our master's whereabouts are unknown. "
"What do you mean missing?"
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin hurriedly shouted what was going on. While they were talking here, a team came over from a little distance.
From a distance, I could see a golden thing shining brightly on the waist of the general coming from a distance.
When this person approached, everyone was stunned.
Isn't this Changsun Chong?
It was just Changsun Chong's appearance of wearing mats and wearing filial piety that made them even more anxious. They knew that Changsun Chong didn't do anything after the first encounter.
There was an accident, but I was very happy to be separated from them.
But this look could not help but shock them.
"Could it be that their master really had an accident?
Before they could think about it, Changsun Chong had already come to everyone in tears.
"Your Highness, the master died for his country. I found the master's armor here, but I can't find the others. I can't find anything. It's like he disappeared for no reason."
Changsun Chong saw his companion crying miserably, and the young generals of Tiance Guard next to him also burst into tears when they received the confirmation news after Changsun Chong started crying.
Suddenly Cheng Chumo came to Changsun Chong and said, "You broke away from our team, and you dare to say that Master had an accident. Please explain it clearly to me. If you can't explain it clearly, see how I can fix you."
As a general, Changsun Chong was still crying hysterically at this time, looking at Cheng Chumo who was threatening him and speaking choked up.
"After I got separated from you, I headed north all the way. Finally, I went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and reunited with Master's team.
It's just that it was a little late when I went there. Master and the others had already finished the battle, and Si Li fled, so Master went to chase the plane.
When I left, I didn't see Master for the last time. I didn't expect that we would be separated forever.
The master's pursuit failed and Si Li had such an unexpected incident. Now General Su Dingfang Su has already put on all his troops in mourning, guarding the master's coffin and starting to return south.
I came one step ahead to report the news so that you can be prepared. "
Hearing what Changsun Chong said, the two brothers Xu Guangren and Xu Guangyi, who had already joined Li Chengqian, were even more surprised.
"You're lying, our uncle is the best
Military Marquis, how could something happen to the Champion Marquis? "
These two people have always been in vain. Although they had some contact with Li Daoyan, and Li Daoyan also said that they had some merit, the battle was not over yet, and Li Chengqian could not reward them, so he asked them to follow behind.
It's not easy for two white men to follow a group of generals. The team at the very back was with the civilian husbands. After the news that the team stopped marching was spread from the front to the rear, the two brothers hurriedly ran from the rear to the front.
It happened that Chang Sun Chong was explaining about Xu Yunyan, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?"
Xu Guangren kept muttering that this was impossible, but Xu Guangren was looking south.
"I want to go back, I want to go back and tell my parents and my aunt."
While he was talking, Xu Guangyi ran back quickly to find his horse. He wanted to rush back.
As soon as Xu Guangyi ran away, Xu Guangren seemed to react.
"Yes, go back! Let your parents and aunts be prepared when you go back."
Although the two of them didn't believe it, looking at the nearly a hundred people wearing sackcloth and mourning in front of them, and the Tang army who came from the north to report the news, their last hope was shattered.
Their uncle, Hou, the champion of the Tang Dynasty, really had an accident.
