Except for Tang Ping and Hou Junji, no one knew what they said next.
But after Hou Junji returned to the camp, he called his son-in-law Helan Chushi.
"Protector..."
Just as Helan Chushi raised his hand to salute, Hou Junji pressed him down.
"Okay, it's just you and me here, so don't be too polite."
Hou Junji's kind side made Helan Chushi stunned.
You must know that this old man usually doesn't give him a good look, and he even shouts and drinks in the military camp. The sudden visit really makes him a little uncomfortable.
"Then...what is the order given by the father-in-law when he calls his son-in-law here?"
There were just the two of them here, and Helan Chushi wouldn't believe that Mr. Hou Jun had nothing to do with him and wanted to talk to him.
"I'll make a long story short. You go home right now, take Rongrong and Bao'er with you, and then tomorrow you take the Hou family army with you and start an uprising!"
"Yes!" Helan Chushi did whatever Hou Junji told him, so he subconsciously answered yes, and then he was stunned. He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
"What did the father-in-law say...?"
"I told you to bring your brothers from the past to revolt."
"uprising……"
Helan Chushi nodded: "It seems that I just drank a few drinks and fell asleep and dreamed!"
Hou Junji looked at him and became angry.
He kicked him on the butt, causing him to stagger.
"You brat, are you awake now?"
Helan Chushi touched his butt, it hurt!
Since it hurts, it's not a dream, but an uprising...
He looked at Hou Junji blankly, not knowing what his intention was.
Could it be that Hou Junji noticed that he had planned to surrender, so he was testing himself?
With a snap, a token was slapped into Helan Chushi's hand.
Helan Chushi knew that this was a token to mobilize the Hou family's army, which was Hou Junji's most trusted force. Apart from himself, only the person holding this token could instruct him to move.
Helan Chushi's hand holding the token is shaking. He must be testing himself. If he dares to say yes, then he will definitely throw a cup as a signal, and a group of swordsmen will rush out and chop him into pieces. .
With a snap, Helan Chushi's feet softened and he knelt on the ground.
"Father-in-law, you know that I have no ambitions, and I would never dare to start an uprising..."
"You!" Hou Junji saw him like this and was about to get angry, but he took it back when he spoke.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't have great ambitions. If our Hou family is still too sharp in the future, it will be extremely dangerous in Chang'an. Your temperament is suitable."
What he said made Helan Chushi confused, but he still understood. It seemed that Hou Junji was not testing him, but was explaining the funeral arrangements.
"Okay, you just need to do as I say. If you bring back these tens of thousands of elite people from the Tang Dynasty, you will have made a great contribution, and Duke Ping will also say a few good words for you. , you can take Rongrong and Baoer to live a good life in Chang'an from now on."
The place where Hou Junji and the others were stationed outside Guizhou City was not far from his residence in Beiyan. Helan Chushi returned to the house in a daze, and after telling Hou Rongrong what happened today, Hou Rongrong shed tears.
"Father found a way for us to survive in the midst of death!"
Hou Junji knew that Li Shimin must have meant it sincerely when he said he would spare his life.
But what about the future? If you commit such a thing yourself, it is inevitable that no one will uncover the old case in the future.
In particular, he and Tang Ping had many conflicts. Tang Ping's status in the court was at its peak. Even if Li Shimin didn't trouble him, it was inevitable that no one would trouble him for taking pictures of Tang Ping's horses.
When he loses power in Chang'an, won't anyone be able to bully him?
Moreover, he, Hou Junji, does not want to live such a useless life.
of.
That's why he left such a path for his daughter and Helan Chushi.
Helan Chushi didn't seem to understand, but he still obeyed the arrangement. The next day, he led the Hou family army to leave the Yanbei Protectorate camp and announced his surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Ping, these soldiers, would not cause trouble to them. He just collected their weapons and asked people to send them back to the rear.
They were originally from the Tang Dynasty, and they were all brave and good warriors. After they returned, they would be reorganized and assigned to various armies.
These sergeants also knew that their past behavior was not much different from rebellion, and the current results were beyond imagination.
Hou Junji, on the other hand, took the surrendered troops of Yanbei and the rogues from all over the country who later joined the Yanbei army to declare independence and establish the Great Yan Kingdom.
For a time, several countries around the Northeast did not understand what was going on. Hou Junji turned around and started his journey like a mad dog.
First, they went north from Yingzhou and attacked the Khitan directly. They swept through the entire Khitan territory in five days and looted all the wealth of the Khitan nobles, but they did not occupy any city or town.
When Tang Ping led people from behind to take over all the cities captured by Hou Junji, and established the Songmo Governor's Mansion.
Hou Junji has already turned the Lin clan upside down.
Hou Junji's men now are all desperadoes. Before attacking the city, he issued an order that after the city is broken, all property will be allowed to be looted by them.
Although the sergeants also had doubts, they still could not resist the temptation.
So what Hou Junji is leading now is more like a hungry wolf than a mad dog.
They didn't care who came to occupy the city. They just captured one city after another under the command of Hou Junji, emptied the wealth in them, and then aimed at the next target.
Within ten days, the Lin tribe was exterminated, and Tang Ping, who later claimed to be pursuing Hou Junji, established the Juyan Governor's Mansion in the place of the Lin tribe.
The neighboring countries of Shiwei, Heishui Mohe, and Bohai were all trembling, wondering why Hou Junji was so crazy.
They all sent letters asking for help to Datang.
The one closest to them was Tang Ping, Duke of Tang Ping. Tang Ping responded very positively, saying that he was still reorganizing the Khitan and Xi clan territories that had been attacked by Hou Junji, and would rush to various countries for support as soon as possible.
After receiving Tang Ping's reply, the clever person understood: How could Hou Junji be a traitor?
He used his reputation to attack various countries, and then left the territory to the Tang army who slowly followed behind to take over.
But so what if you understand? Although the number of desperadoes under Hou Junji is not too large, it is enough to defeat small countries like them.
Moreover, they are equipped with elves, and the most outrageous thing is that they also have several Datang Shenwei self-propelled cannons that they claim to have stolen from the Tang Dynasty.
Pull up to the front before attacking the city, and a few shots can blast open their weak gate.
City defense was useless to Hou Junji's army, and hand-to-hand combat was no match for Hou Junji's army.
The Northeastern countries began to fall one after another.
