at the same time.
Some soldiers reported to Hou Junji.
"Report to the general, there are a total of 1,528 Chuhe Village rebels in the canyon!"
Hou Junji frowned slightly: "Why is there only so much? Chuhe Village has more than 10,000 households and requires at least 20,000 people. Why are there only more than 1,000 people here?"
"Did Hejian King [Li Xiaogong] kill many villagers in Chuhe Village? But how is this possible!"
He doesn't understand!
He didn't believe that King Hejian could kill more than 10,000 villagers under the protection of the terrifying General Suzaku. This was completely impossible.
So.……
What went wrong? !
"Report! There are spies coming to report the battle in Chuhe Village!"
Chuhe Village!
It's the soldier over there!
Hou Junji's eyes were bright. He felt that something abnormal must have happened in Chuhe Village. The more than 10,000 Chuhe Village villagers who disappeared had a high probability that there was a problem in Chuhe Village. He hurriedly said: "Quick, invite him in."
Soon, the spies from Chuhe Village walked in and said, "General Hou! My general [Li Dajun] asked me to pass this news to His Majesty as quickly as possible."
He held the note in both hands.
Hou Junji took it and immediately went out to give it to Li Shimin, but stopped when he thought that the emperor was trembling and crying.
He looked at the note and thought for a while. Maybe there was something going on with Li Dajun and the fighter plane could not be delayed, so he opened it quickly.
The more he read the contents of the note, the more shocked his eyes became.
turn out to be!
The more than 10,000 Chuhe Village villagers disappeared, the real problem appeared in Chuhe Village!
Li Dajun and others invaded Chuhe Village and searched for a long time. They found a destroyed secret passage. According to the scale of the secret passage, it must have been very wide before it was destroyed. The more than 10,000 Chuhe Village villagers escaped from Cong! !
Hou Junji's eyes widened.
This King of Chu's army actually gave them a move to lose their chariot to save their commander!
In fact.
And indeed it is.
This is General Suzaku's plan.
Chang'an belongs to Li Shimin's world. The genius of the general, even when His Royal Highness the King of Chu was around, was suppressed a lot. At this moment, there is no leader. In addition, he has the weakness of more than 20,000 villagers in Chuhe Village. If he does not lose, Che Baoshuai, how did he deceive the general Tiance?
It is never possible to escape completely. General Zhuque didn't believe it, and King Chu who was far outside Chang'an didn't believe it either, just because their opponent was General Tiance!
So General Suzaku planned this strategy, allowing himself to take the Suzaku Camp, who knew the plan but still regarded death as home, and the 2,000 villagers who were willing to die, to escape westward and cross the river.
They used this bait to hold back Li Shimin's army as much as possible so that more than 10,000 villagers could evacuate.
It was precisely because he knew he was a decoy that General Suzaku did not cross the river, because crossing the river would most likely only lead to a later death.
As for this strategy, when the villagers who were willing to die were announced at the time, more than 10,000 households in the village enthusiastically signed up. After General Suzaku "carefully selected", more than 2,000 people were allowed to die with him.
The villagers of Chuhe Village are always like this. They trust the King of Chu unconditionally, and are willing to follow the King of Chu's path even if they die soon.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!!"
Hou Junji's eyes were red.
So many troops were mobilized today, but only these were killed.
He stared at the spy from Chuhe Village: "Can that secret passage be restored?"
The spy was so frightened that he lowered his head and said: "My general has been working hard to repair it, but there is no way, everything collapsed. It is estimated that when Chuhe Village was under construction, this secret passage was already prepared, and it can be destroyed on its own initiative. .”
"That's right! General Hou, my general found this at the palace of King Chu in Chuhe Village. My general judged that King Chu wrote it when he became a hostage, and sent someone to Chuhe Village and put it in his mansion. Please take a look at it. !”
The spy handed out another piece of paper.
Hou Junji took it rudely and opened it quickly.
"This, this is!!!"
His eyes widened.
This is a poem, a rebellious poem!
Look at this poem.
Hou Junji seems to be on a plain.
In front of the plain, the arrogant King of Chu, who was still arrogant even if he had gone to the Turks, was facing away from him, smiling towards the sky.
Arrogant, always so arrogant!
But it makes people dare not be careless!
"When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, when the flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will be killed. The fragrance will reach the sky and penetrate Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor."
"Hahaha, Hou Junji, just wait, I, the king, will return eventually!!"
"I, the King, owe the blood debt of Chuhe Village, and I will repay it a hundred times."
Hou Junji was frightened and broke out in cold sweat.
"Damn it!"
He slapped the table angrily and looked fiercely: "The King of Chu is like this, can he still come back?"
If ordinary people had already gone to Turks and still said this, Hou Junji would just laugh it off.
But that man was different, he was King Chu! !
The king of Chu is no weaker than your majesty! !
At this moment, Hou Junji couldn't stop trembling whenever he thought of the scene of King Chu's return.
No way, that man, he... can he really come back?
.…….….….….….
South of Chang'an City, dozens of miles away.
"Da da da……."
A cavalry army is traveling in the jungle.
Their troops are well-organized and appear to be disorganized, but in fact they are the horns of each other.
As long as someone attacks and someone falls, other cavalry can react instantly.
This cavalry army has a total of 3,000 people, and each person has a crossbow hung on his back.
The general at the front was wearing a green robe, and his eyes always exuded contempt for everything, which made people uncomfortable.
He is one of the four beast generals under King Chu, codenamed General Qinglong, and commands three thousand bows and cavalry.
now.
General Qinglong led his army to a cave entrance and stopped. It was a cave. He did not take anyone in, but waited outside.
"Let me go, let me go!"
At this time, angry voices came from the army.
General Qinglong narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Bring them here."
"yes!"
Soon, a group of bound prisoners were brought over.
The leader was Changsun Shunde, who was later rated as the twenty-four Lingyan Pavilion heroes by Li Shimin. Changsun Shunde, who ranked fifteenth, was also of the same clan as Changsun Wuji and Queen Changsun, and was their natal family.
The eldest son, Shunde, was free a day ago. At that time, he heard eldest son Wuji say that his majesty was going to take action against the King of Chu. To ensure that everything was safe, he also asked him to bring troops from his territory to assist.
Changsun Shunde and Changsun Wuji were their own people. Naturally, they knew that it would not be good for them if the king of Chu and his army were alive, so he quickly summoned more than a thousand soldiers. But he felt that it was not enough, so he spent a heavy reward with his own money to recruit two thousand Many people formed a total of 3,000 troops and marched to Chang'an City in a mighty manner.
However, on the way, he happened to encounter General Qinglong who was going to help Chang'an City, and the two sides started fighting.
General Qinglong's Qinglong Battalion is one of the three strongest cavalry armies in the empire. It can deal with Changsun Shunde and other improvised mobs and annihilate them without spending a single soldier.
He captured Changsun Shunde and more than fifty soldiers who were still alive.
"Qinglong! Xu Shiji, are you sure you want to help the tyrants?"
Changsun Shunde kept roaring.
