After hearing Li Jiangyao's idea of killing the Turkic prince, the officials of the Nilin Division present were greatly surprised and at the same time extremely excited.
To be honest, these people are all audacious fanatics, and their loyalty to Emperor Shengtang is almost crazy. Seeing that the dynasty was in turmoil due to internal and external enemies, and the emperor Li Chengwu was in danger, Nilinsi was already worried and wanted to do something earth-shattering right away to turn the tide.
In order to protect the emperor and save the Holy Tang, Nilinsi would not hesitate to drag the entire world to hell.
The only thing missing is a guy who is bolder and crazier than them, who can lead everyone to heaven and earth.
And now, that guy shows up.
The leaders of the Nilin Division suddenly realized that compared to Shen Changshi, the Master Li in front of them was so cute. His mind was full of unexpected thoughts, and he was also extremely dangerous!
This kind of officer is very popular with Nilinsi!
"Sir, just tell me what to do. We brothers will go through fire and water without even frowning!" Zhou Xing's face was full of joy and he rushed to express his position for everyone.
Li Jiangyao stood up and said to everyone: "Thank you brothers for your support. After all, Li's idea did not get the approval of Brother Shen in advance, let alone any court order. If you follow me, you will inevitably have to bear a huge responsibility in the future. If anyone really has concerns, I will never force it."
Qiao Shengchun stood up slowly and responded solemnly: "Sir, if you think so, you are looking down on our Nilin Division and Shen Changshi. From the day we walked into Beiya, I have given up the idea of getting promoted and getting rich, and honoring my ancestors. The fish medal hanging on my waist, the honor and disgrace in the world, has nothing to do with me anymore!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Wei Nian, repay the emperor's kindness!"
After getting along for a long time, Li Jiangyao gradually gained a deeper understanding of the passionate men in front of him.
Although he still couldn't understand until now, how Beiya Nilinsi could pass down hundreds of years of loyalty to the emperor and be deeply rooted in the hearts of generations of Nilin spies. But no matter what, this belief is unquestionable and the one that inspires the most terrible potential.
Both Shen Lie and his subordinates are absolutely worthy of the word "loyalty".
Li Jiangyao was infected by the attitude of Qiao Shengchun, Zhou Xing and others. He laughed and said proudly: "Okay! Now that we have talked about this, I, Li Jiangyao, am no longer a mother-in-law! Here in Luoyi , under the care of Qiao Shengchun, Wang Hai and Xu Jinfeng, they continue to wait for opportunities to rescue Murong Xue. Other brothers, follow me to find bad luck for the Turks. Since they dare to come to our Holy Tang to act wild, don't blame yourself for your short life! I'll ask Degu later Walter’s confession, set off immediately!”
-
At Tongguan in the Holy Tang Dynasty, one man guarded the pass, but ten thousand men could not attack it.
At the junction of Qinzhou, Jinzhou and Yuzhou, thousands of mountains, valleys and rivers converge. After hundreds of millions of years of uncanny workmanship by nature, a unique and dangerous pass has been created, the most majestic pass in the world.
Standing in Qiao Tower in Tongguan, looking down to the east, what you see is a vast and magnificent scene of the vast land.
At this time, on that flat wilderness, countless deer camps and tents were erected. The bonfires were like the Milky Way falling down, and the stars were scattered as far as the eye could see.
Xie Guang's 200,000 troops gathered here.
Facing the Xiongguan Fortress built between the cliffs, as well as the large and small fortresses scattered high and low next to it, and the solid city walls built on the top of the mountain, Xie Guang couldn't help but sigh softly, and was silent for a long time.
Ye Rongcheng, the right general of Xuanjia standing behind him, couldn't help but said: "Master, if we want to attack Tongguan, even if we finally succeed in capturing this place, the price we will pay will definitely be extremely heavy..."
Before he could finish speaking, another general said anxiously: "Besides, the soldiers cannot count on such a tough battle. In the end, it is our own elite Xuanjia Legion that will be wasted."
Although the other generals did not say a word, it could be seen from their expressions that they all thought the same thing.
Xie Guang did not comment on this. He stood there and was lost in thought for a while, and then asked quietly: "Do you know why the Turks chose this time to come to me to discuss the alliance?"
Ye Rongcheng looked at the general next to him and tried to answer: "It must be... afraid that we will make a truce with the court and deal with them together."
"What you said is absolutely correct," Xie Guang nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Turks are about to attack the imperial capital. At this time, if we suddenly turn our hostility into friendship with the imperial court and join forces to fight against the enemy, then... Shi Na Zhijin will inevitably have to worry. No matter how powerful his Turkic cavalry is, Xie will not take it seriously. As long as the emperor can last for a month, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under my command, I guarantee that they will be eighty Few of the ten thousand people can return to the west of Zijin Pass alive! It is for this reason that the Turkic Khan hurriedly sent his son to act as a lobbyist."
Ye Rongcheng was a little puzzled: "Since the Turks are afraid of us, why don't we just offer them more favorable conditions, then securely defend Guandong and watch the tigers fight from the mountain? Why do you have the idea of seizing Tongguan as soon as possible?"
Xie Guang's eyes flashed: "Why don't I want to watch the fire from the other side? It's just that the situation forces me to aim here. First, only by capturing Tongguan and controlling the only way for the Qin King's army from all over the country to go to the imperial capital can we have enough Use our bargaining chips to bargain with the Turks. Secondly, when the imperial capital really falls, the Turkic army will definitely continue to move eastward, so this strategic location should be in our hands, otherwise we will only be left with the fate of being passively beaten."
Ye Rongcheng reacted: "What does Taifu mean, is that the Turks are not sincere in the conditions they are offering, and they will eventually regret it and choose to fall out with us?"
"Hmph, no matter how nice the conditions are, it's just a piece of waste paper. How can it be compared to the weight of a sword?" You can still promise to make someone else the new king of the Central Plains. In the end, it still depends on whose fist is stronger! I agree to cooperate now, but I am just giving in to the Turks, so as to try to buy time to expand my strength for the real contest later. Therefore, there is We must conquer Tongguan as soon as possible!"
"I understand the humble position," Ye Rongcheng said: "That's why the Taifu deliberately told Tanli the day before yesterday that he hoped to join forces with Ashina Zhijin Khan at the foot of the imperial capital. The purpose was to temporarily slow down the pace of the Turks' attack?"
Xie Guang shook his head: "What you said is only superficial. It is impossible for the Turks to arrange their troops according to my ideas, so there is no question of whether to slow down or not. Tanli should have understood my other point. Meaning: Reunion can be either a meeting of comrades or a meeting of enemies. Which one it is depends on their sincerity. As allies, it is okay for everyone to cooperate with each other, but they want me to be their puppet. That is wishful thinking. The Turks launched an 800,000-strong army to march eastward. It is clear that they are aiming at the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the species. Only by gathering strength that is almost the same as his, can the two sides have true equality."
Ye Rongcheng finally understood and nodded repeatedly: "What the Grand Tutor said is absolutely true. At present, the world of Shengtang is in turmoil, and all forces are fighting for precious time. The imperial capital is like this, the Turks are like this, and we are also like this. To put it bluntly, it is the same. We must capture Tongguan before the Turkic army enters the imperial capital, and completely seal the door for them to continue to advance eastward. Then let the Turks ravage the imperial capital and the northwest, while we can safely explore the hinterland of the Central Plains. As long as there is enough time to go Conquering various states and counties will surely strengthen our army step by step."
Xie Guang turned around, glanced at the generals surrounding him, and said slightly excitedly: "Everyone, you have been Xie's brothers of life and death for many years. Now, I have led you to a path of no return. . Going forward is either the pinnacle of glory or the abyss of darkness, but no matter what, it is absolutely impossible to go back. Yesterday, Lao Jianhua sent someone to report that Prince Li Bing had been captured by the Nilin Division. From now on, we will no longer be able to enjoy the golden brand of the Li family. If we want to conquer the world, we can only rely on ourselves to make a name for ourselves with one sword and one shot! How about it? We have figured it all out. ?"
"Master, I've figured it out a long time ago!" A general yelled at the top of his lungs: "Follow you and do the damn thing!"
"Yes! Damn it! No matter it's the imperial court or the Turks, our Xuanjia Army is not afraid of anyone!"
"Commander, give me the order. We will follow you through mountains of swords and seas of fire. The worst that can happen is that we will die quickly!"
"Master! No, thank you, brother!" Ye Rongcheng looked solemn and his tone was extremely firm: "There is nothing to hesitate! Whether it is Tongguan in front of you, or the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Bashu, or other places, wherever your sword points, we will The battle flag of the Xuanjia Army is flying there!"
Xie Guang's eyes flashed and he shouted: "Okay! Brothers, let's do it vigorously! The main force originally sent by the imperial court to deal with us has now rushed back to the imperial capital. Stay in Tongguan. There are only 20,000 people here. They think that with the so-called natural pass, they can block the invincible Xuanjia Army. It is extremely ridiculous! Brothers, I want you to use all your true skills to let the imperial gang You weakling, take a good look at what is the most powerful army of Shengtang!"
Ye Rongcheng and other generals were so excited that they drew their swords and knives one after another, raised them high above their heads, and shouted in unison: "Xuanjia is the elite, invincible in the world!"
[Li Jiangyao asked me to give a message to all the heroes: Our Xinjiang Army is fighting alone, and it is not easy. We ask for your support. We don’t need any food or supplies, but we need votes, good reviews, likes... the more the better, please! 】
