Xu Guangren and Xu Guangyi began to return. Behind them, Li Chengqian watched the two brothers retreat and finally began to give orders again.
"Stop the whole army!"
After a word, no one in Hou Junji or Li Shentong objected, and the young generals of Tiance Guard didn't say anything more, waiting for Li Chengqian's arrangements.
Li Chengqian looked at Hou Junji and Li Shentong and asked.
"Two generals, don't you know which one of you can lead the troops to Western Turks to intimidate Xiaoxiao? I will wait for Master here. After Su Dingfang guards Master's coffin, I will return to Chang'an City with them. Master has made such a great contribution I want to bury him in the imperial mausoleum!"
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Shentong cupped his fists.
"His Royal Highness, let me go! General Hou is also your father-in-law and the senior brother of the champion Hou. He should participate in these things due to emotion and reason."
After Li Shentong finished speaking, Hou Junji sighed.
"Good fortune plays tricks on people, it's really good fortune that plays tricks on people! The sky is so unfair, so it's all thanks to General Li."
Hou Junji was not upset that he had no military exploits and left all the bargain-hunting matters to Li Shentong. Instead, he complained about the injustice of the sky and the injustice against the champion Hou.
Li Shentong said seriously after Hou Junji expressed his stance.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
As a general, Li Shentong solemnly guaranteed that Hou Junji and Li Chengqian would not doubt that they would not be able to complete the matter, so they allowed Li Shentong to lead his troops to the north.
After Li Shentong left, Li Chengqian just stood at the scene blankly. Hou Junji and others set up camp and Li Chengqian didn't say anything.
In the Northland, Su Ding
Thousands of soldiers and horses were marching southward wearing linen and mourning with a lifeless look. As soon as they turned through a forest, there were hundreds of people in front of them, also wearing linen and wearing mourning, kneeling on the roadside.
I originally thought that something unexpected would happen, but after such a scene, Su Dingfang was very curious and did not move. Li Zhong even held Xu Yunyan's tablet next to his coffin.
Feng Wu Houji and Li Kun glanced at each other, and Li Kun hurriedly ran forward.
Seeing a general running forward with a dozen guards, Guan Chou and others were still kneeling there straight.
After Li Kun approached, before Li Kun could ask questions, Guan Chou started talking directly.
"This general, I was kidnapped by the Turks and brought to the north. We were able to survive thanks to the rescue of Champion Marquis. Now that I have received the news of Champion Marquis' death, I came here to express my condolences. I hope General will allow you."
Li Kun did not relax his vigilance because of Xu Yunyan's death, but looked at them.
"Who are you, and what evidence is there to prove that the Champion saved you?"
Fortunately, there was an experiment veteran next to Li Kun, scratching his head as he looked at the person in front of him.
"You seem to be Guan Chou, right? The name was given by my general."
A very simple sentence made Li Kun confirm that the person in front of him was one of his own and not someone who came to be hostile to them.
Next to Li Kun, Xu Yunyan's old pawn followed Xu Yunyan from Yunzhou and has been serving in the Tang army. This time he fought side by side with Xu Yunyan. Xu Yunyan died, and there were not many old pawns left. They were worthy Trust me, there won't be any surprises.
Once the identity of the person in front of you is determined, you can take them to pay homage to the champion.
Li Kun took them back
Not long after leaving, Su Dingfang appeared in front of them.
"General Su..."
Li Kun was about to speak, but Su Dingfang waved his hand to stop him.
"I didn't expect that the Righteous King of the North would come to pay homage to the Champion, and he would do so in mourning."
Su Dingfang's words stunned Li Kun.
"The Righteous King of the North? Just him?"
Li Kun stared at Guan Chou in front of him in stunned silence, while Guan Chou scratched his head.
"The general's lack of fame made the general laugh. If the champion hadn't rescued him and given him a certain amount of resources, where would the Righteous King of the North come from? He would be nothing more than a withered skeleton of the North."
Guan Qiugang exchanged polite words with Li Kun, crossed Su Dingfang's figure, and immediately changed his expression when he saw the coffin behind him.
"Marquis Champion, Guan Chou is here. Guan Chou has come to express his condolences to you. It's just that this time Guan Chou didn't bring any good sacrifices. He came empty-handed without the head of the Turkic thief. I hope Marquis Champion will forgive you."
Guan Qiu walked forward as he spoke, and soon came to Xu Yunyan's coffin. He looked at Li Zhong who was holding Xu Yunyan's tablet and bowed his hands.
After doing the necessary etiquette, he stepped forward, held the coffin, and talked about some past events between himself and Xu Yunyan, feeling a lot of emotion.
Talking about the depth of love, tears welled up in the eyes, and everyone around them also sighed with emotion. Although Xu Yunyan did it unintentionally, he actually had such a harvest.
Guan Chou kept talking about Xu Yunyan's achievements in front of Xu Yunyan, giving himself a chance to prove the value of his existence.
But Guan Qiuyue said that although Li Zhong still looked unmoved in front of him, he saw in his eyes that Guan Qiu had listed him as a must-kill target.
Did Xu Yunyan leave anything behind?
One of them is a good thing, and Guan Qiu has been so defined in Li Zhong's mind.
Su Dingfang looked at Guan Qiu's appearance and shook his head.
"Guan Zhuangshi."
Su Dingfang finally called Guan Qiu. He was just happy when he suddenly saw Su Dingfang calling him and turned to look at Su Dingfang.
"General Su, don't know what your orders are?"
Su Dingfang looked at him, "We know that you regret not seeing the champion for the last time, but why don't we feel the same way?"
After Su Dingfang finished speaking, Guan Chou looked at him and asked.
"Then I wonder if I have a chance to give Champion Hou another chance?"
"Can!"
Su Dingfang said this, but just as he was about to set off, Li Zhong suddenly glanced at Guan Chou.
After seeing this, Guan Qiu's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
However, Guan Qiu didn't think much about it. The person who could hold the memorial tablet for Xu Yunyan was also Xu Yunyan's best friend, right?
Although Guan Qiu was very confused as to why the person holding the champion's tablet in front of him gave him an unreal feeling, he didn't think much about it, let alone ask any more questions, and instead followed the team as they began to march south.
Jinling City, after Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin entered Jinling City and captured Li Yuan, Queen Xie and all the civil and military officials in Jinling City, the head of the Xie family finally accepted his next fate with a pale face, and Li Jing Before arriving at Jinling, the matter in Jinling was over, so he had to pass the news to Li Shimin who was far away in the north through unique channels.
Li Shimin just looked at Duan Kun in front of him and was very happy about the letter from Xu Yunyan, who was once a captain in the Xuanjia Army.
"God bless the Tang Dynasty. With such a magical weapon, it must be
Is it just around the corner for the champion to defeat the Turks? "
But just when Li Shimin was laughing like this, another guard suddenly walked in to report.
"Your Majesty, there is news from General Li Jingli from the south."
"oh?"
Li Shimin was a little curious now, wondering what kind of news Li Jing sent.
However, Li Shimin was curious for a short time and touched his chin there.
"As the saying goes, good things come in pairs! General Li Jing and Li are my hope. Duan Kun has sent good news. The news he sent is definitely good news."
When Li Shimin said this, the generals standing in front of him hurriedly complimented him.
"Your Majesty's kindness must be good news."
Under their compliments, the person who came to deliver the letter took out the secret letter from his arms and raised his hands high above his head, waiting for Li Shimin's approval.
Without Li Shimin making any move, a guard next to Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward, took the letter and checked it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he came to Li Shimin respectfully.
"His Majesty!"
After Li Shimin nodded, he took the letter from the guard, opened it and burst out laughing.
"Let me just say, good things come in pairs. Guess what's going on?"
This all means that good things come in pairs, and then let them guess, does this mean that they think we are losers and look down on us?
No one said anything, but looked at Li Shimin happily, pretending not to speak.
"Your Majesty, why are you embarrassing us? It must be General Li who takes action and succeeds immediately."
One of these generals said this, and the others also echoed it.
"Yes, definitely
It was General Li who took action and succeeded immediately. "
Li Shimin laughed and said, "You all know how to say such nice things, but you are right this time. General Li will take action and succeed immediately. Jinling has been defeated, so don't worry!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, a group of officials were here to compliment Li Shimin, and Li Shimin waved his hands to silence the lively atmosphere for the time being, and watched them talk.
"Now there is no threat to us in the south. What we have to do now is to go to the north and first completely eliminate the guy with wolfish ambitions left by Jieli and Tuli. They danced for us in Chang'an City, and I wish their former subordinates would only end up like this if they just got up."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise! The loser is nothing more than a clown. If you dare to become our enemy, the result is already doomed!"
After Li Shimin told everyone, the generals present kept talking about Li Shimin's sage and complimenting Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was very proud to see them, but Li Shimin was still worried about the north. Then he looked north again.
"Champion Hou, you must not let me down!"
Maybe he had something in mind, maybe Duan Kun was running a little too slowly on the road, or maybe the new messenger was running a little too fast. Just when Li Shimin was about to arrange manpower again to make some of the magic weapons provided by Duan Kun. Come out and see if the effect is as Duan Kun said.
Although Li Shimin believes in Duan Kun and Xu Yunyan, this is like a fantasy and must be confirmed before it can be confirmed.
Just in case
It was an accident that such a recorded situation occurred. Wouldn't that make people laugh out loud?
But just when Li Shimin ordered his troops and the generals thought they were going to send troops north immediately, another soldier came to Li Shimin's camp.
"Report to Your Majesty, a great victory in the North!"
"Um?"
Li Shimin raised his hand and pointed at several generals. Before he could finish arranging his tasks, he was a little surprised to hear the newly rushed soldiers reporting the news of the great victory in the Northland without hesitation.
"What did you just say? A great victory in the North?"
Li Shimin repeated this sentence.
The soldier nodded hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there is a great victory in the north. The champion marquis' troops defeated the Turkic Queen Zuoxian, and then the Turkic Khan defeated the Sili Formation, and then defeated the Turkic King Youxian.
A total of 200,000 Turks were completely defeated, and less than a thousand escaped! "
After the messenger finished speaking, Li Shimin became even more energetic and laughed.
"As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, but now it's not like good things come in pairs, it's three good things in a row! It really makes me happy."
However, Li Shimin was happy here, but he forgot a sentence passed down from ancient times.
Blessings lie where misfortunes lie, and misfortunes lie where blessings depend.
