773. Cautious Guard

Su Dingfang was surprised, and then frowned and said: "In this way, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people of Shuofang, and it would also be bad for your reputation as a general."

"The sage has issued an order, Gyeongju and Yeonju are transported for grain relief, and Shuofang is vast and has few people, and this matter is easy to hear."

Hearing Li Pojun say this, Su Dingfang nodded, and then continued under Li Pojun's signal: "Liang Shi is brutal and luxurious, not the heart of the army, and the soldiers don't need to die, this is an easy; His subordinates Zhang Ju, Liu Min and others all rebelled against him and entered the court, and there were many righteous people in the border area, if they heard that the royal division of the court was together, Shuo Fang Zhishi would be an internal response, and the two were also easy; Shuofang people are few and narrow, food is scarce, and they are trapped in one place. Please also ask the general to correct him."

Li Pojun nodded thoughtfully and expressed his approval, but fortunately Su Dingfang didn't say anything Liang Shi disobeyed the Mandate of Heaven and didn't know those nonsense in practice. To put it bluntly, the three points are all real and important, and there is no exaggeration.

The next day, early in the morning, the whole army set off, and when the Tongguan County Commander hurriedly brought the food to the camp, the camp was empty.

For three days in a row, the Shence army marched non-stop, every day at three o'clock before dawn is the whole army set off, until it was dark and could not see the road before camping and resting, and finally came to Lu Ziguan in Bai Yushan looking at the mountain horse head at the dark on the third day, the generals were physically and mentally exhausted, and Li Pojun was also tired.

It was not easy to see that Lu Ziguan was close in front of him, but Li Pojun ordered to camp on the spot.

"General, why don't you enter the customs and garrison?" Fang Yiai rubbed his sour thighs and asked, and the rest of the generals also looked at Li Pojun suspiciously, they still wanted to go into the customs and rest for a night, at least they could eat something hot.

"Luzi Pass is not a pass, how to accommodate 10,000 people, it is bustling to enter, it is not conducive to the transfer of troops, and it is encamped here, which can be the momentum of each other's horns, and can be attacked and defended." Li Pojun wiped the mud on his forehead, took out a water bag and poured it and said directly.

After everyone heard this, they didn't say much, the village was set up, the defense was armed, everything was tense and orderly.

Xue Wanche on the side drank a bag of water with a slurp, looking at Li Pojun was also full of admiration, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be delicate and expensive to endure long journeys, especially when he saw that many soldiers were exhausted, Li Pojun actually dismounted and accompanied the soldiers on foot, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, which made Xue Wanche admire.

Now after seeing that he has reached the destination, Li Pojun is still not lax and thoughtful, and actively set up a village to set up defenses, Xue Wanche is even more admired, Xue Wanche, as a general in the army, has fought for more than ten years, that is experienced, knows the caution of the village, can not be negligent, don't look at the front of this Luzi Pass There is a Changze City in front of it, but not to mention the north and east of the pseudo-Liang army, that is, the Turkic soldiers who come and go like the wind, if you bypass Changze City, it is to face the peak of the soldiers, although this situation is safe, but you have to be cautious.

After camping, Li Pojun directly took the personal guard battalion and Su Dingfang to lead the 500 infantry army to Luzi Pass.

Nearly 1,000 people came to the pass in the dark, among which there was a sound of horses' hooves, Lu Ziguan was at the border pass, facing the Turks and pseudo-Liang, usually they had to fight every once in a while, and they were not vigilant at this time.

Two hundred steps away, there was a big light on the gate, the torches and braziers were lit along the city, Li Pojun raised his hand to stop the advance, this Lu Ziguan guard, but alert.

"Who's going to shut it down? Stop quickly, go one step further, and fire the bow and crossbow in unison." In the darkness under the light off, there was the voice of a big man.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and he will quickly open the city to greet him." At Li Pojun's signal, Chen Kang stepped forward and replied.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the close, and the guards in the dark were also stunned when they heard the words, and then they also remembered that they received a report from the county order yesterday, saying that the saint ordered His Royal Highness the Prince to be the commander and come to exterminate the pseudo-Liang, how could the prince come tonight, where would it be so fast, the guards were a little unbelievable, and this group of people had cavalry and wheel infantry troops, looking at the black shadow, there were thousands of people to the top, His Royal Highness the Prince came to quell the rebellion will only bring the rest of the people, this half cavalry and half foot army, but it is a bit like a horse thief on the grassland.

Immediately, he shouted: "Well, what a cowardly thief, you dare to pretend to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I will close tens of thousands of male soldiers, and then take a step forward to ask you to wait for ten thousand arrows to pierce your heart." After that, he shouted: "Crossbowmen ready".

The gate is equipped with a strong crossbow, and it is winding to hear the order of the guard, and Li Pojun and the others under the gate can hear the sound of the bowstring winding up two hundred steps, and their faces are also solemn, Chen Kang and others are busy blocking in front of Li Pojun, with angry faces.

Li Pojun smiled when he saw this, and said bluntly: "This guard is dutiful and cautious enough."

After that, he also raised his breath and shouted: "Don't be surprised, the general is closed, I am the prince Li Pojun, this is a waist card, please put down the hanging basket for inspection." Li Pojun's voice shouted loudly above Lu Ziguan.

The guard's face also changed when he heard this, could it really be His Royal Highness the Prince? He hadn't seen Li Pojun, so he couldn't hear the voice, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to shout: "Wait a while." After that, he turned his head and ordered: "Put the hanging basket quickly, light all the lights, and throw some torches to turn them off."

The defenders obeyed the order, and one person went to get the hanging basket and slowly put it down, and a few others lit torches and threw them at the gate, illuminating the open space in front of the gate.

Li Pojun's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he pointed to the bright light before closing the door and said: "He is afraid that we will take the opportunity to seize the door, Chen Kang will hand over the waist card."

There was only one person approaching before the door was closed, put in the waist card, the guard breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up the hanging basket, and saw the token of the carved dragon, his face changed, and after checking it, it was determined that it was not fake, but also his face changed, and he was busy shouting: "All martial law, open and close the door quickly." As he spoke, he went down the city wall.

I saw the door creak open, and dozens of horses came out of it, rushing straight to the front, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front of you?" Dozens of horse lanterns and torches lit up the hall, and a general about thirty years old stepped forward and asked, but when he asked, he was still holding his waist knife, and the whole group was on guard, as long as the situation was not right, even if they could not win the battle, this group of people could quickly return.

Li Pojun beat the horses and separated Chen Kang and others who were tightly protected, "I am Li Pojun."

The general looked at it, Li Pojun under the light of the horse lantern torch was wearing black chain mail, a peculiar scimitar hanging from his waist, the soil was sticky on it, and the body was also covered with dust when he rode a white horse, and it was rumored that the prince was only more than ten years old, with a strap, a handsome face, and force, looking at this image but it was echoed, the token was correct, and the image was echoed, that's right, the guard was also busy turning off the horse.

"The last general Lu Ziguan will guard the Xuanjie Captain Ni Huan to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." The general stepped forward to salute, and a group of soldiers behind him also immediately greeted him.

Li Pojun also turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to pick up Ni Huan, "General Ni has done his duty to guard the customs and worked hard." For these soldiers who guard the border and guard the frontier, Li Pojun respects them from the bottom of his heart, how can there be any quiet years, it's just that someone is carrying the weight for you, and the people in the mainland live and work in peace and contentment, which these front-line soldiers have exchanged for their blood.
