"It's too much of a deception! It's just too deceitful!! In King Gaochang's palace, Lu Wentai almost jumped and patted the table in front of him, thundering, so frightened that all the officials in the entire hall were trembling, bowing their heads, and being silent.

"Yang Kunshang, what kind of grandson Helan kidnapped my son Princess Jin Ye, not to mention, he dared to raise troops in my Gaochang border region so boldly to provoke, is it really no one to deceive me Gaochang?!" Throwing the fold in his hand to the ground, taking a deep breath, calming down his angry state of mind, Lu Wentai slowly raised his head towards Hou Junji, who was standing steadily in the hall, and asked: "What is Hou Aiqing's good plan for this matter?" ”

There are many generals in Gao Changguo, but he is really able to lead troops to fight and really fight, after a big battle, in addition to Hou Junji, a foreign general, Li Wentai really can't find anyone else, so when it comes to this military matter, the old man can't help but ask Hou Junji's meaning.

"What else is there to discuss, one word, hit!" Before waiting for Jun Jiyan, Koji Zhiyuan, who was standing on the right side of the hall, took the lead in standing up, bowed his hand, and said to the old man of their family: "Father, please ask for your life, then lead the troops to attack, kill the majesty of those Tang defenders, and go to the Tang border to snatch my sister back!" ”

The eyes are empty, and there is indeed a bit of domineering, but his youngest son has some ability, how can the heart of Lu Wentai, who is an old man, not clear and transparent, brave but not strategic, put on the battlefield, at best, it is just a reckless man, it is okay to be a pioneer to kill the enemy and fight for his life, but this is a general to command the three armies, this little third is absolutely impossible.

Although Koji Wentai is not a saint. Lord, there is less straightforwardness in dealing with political affairs on weekdays, but he will not be so confused as to take risks with his own army and put himself in danger, so after reprimanding Koji Zhiyuan, the old man put this reckless little son aside coldly, and turned his head again to look at Hou Junji, who had never spoken.

"Back to Your Majesty," he glanced at the angry man beside him. The sullen Third Highness glanced at it, and Hou Junji arched his hand to Lu Wentai and said, "Weichen thinks that it is not appropriate to fight." ”

"Huh?" Not only Lu Wentai and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but also Lu Zhiyuan, the third highness who has always been very close to Hou Junji, is also full of surprise, and Lu Zhiyuan looked up at Hou Junji in confusion, and said in a lost voice: "General Hou, why are you ......?" ”

The reason for the incident between Gongsun Helan and Yang Kunshang is above the court. There are a lot of them, it is nothing more than the merchant that Junji caught with Koji Zhiyuan some time ago, and they are all counted as his enemies of Hou Junji, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to confront the enemy to vent his personal anger, no one thought that at this time, Hou Junji would say words without fighting.

"Hou Qingjia, why do you say this?" Ko Wentai was also puzzled and opened his voice to Hou Jun. Ji asked.

"The time has not yet come, and the strength will not be defeated." In the old eyes of Hou Junji, flashed. With a hint of unwillingness, he replied to Li Wentai: "As far as the current national strength of my Gaochang is concerned, it is far from enough to compete with the Tang Dynasty. The minister didn't want to put the country in danger of His Majesty, and he didn't want to give the Tang Dynasty an excuse to send troops to my Gaochang situation. ”

After all, it was a few hits. The general of the ten small battle arrays, this bit of forbearance and mindfulness, Hou Junji still has, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years and it is not too late, no one will want to go out to seek war more than Hou Junji, cut off the heads of Gongsun Helan and Yang Kunshang to vent his anger, but in terms of the current situation in the Gaochang country, the expedition, and the search for death are undoubted, Hou Junji still wants to keep his old life, until the day when he avenges the bloody blade Liu Yi and the eldest grandson Wuji.

So now, no matter how angry I am, I still have to endure it, hold back the unwillingness and resentment in my heart, and maintain the current peace with the Tang Empire on the surface.

"Then, my son Jin Ye, won't you save it?!" Listening to Hou Junji's words, the old man Li Wentai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart for no reason, and when he looked at Hou Junji again, there was a little more trust and value in his eyes.

At this time, he was still thinking about him Gaochang and for him, the monarch, and this Hou Junji's loyalty to himself was not inferior to those natives and soldiers in this hall.

As the lord of a country, the old man of course knows what the situation of his country is, one poor and two white, Jia Nong is not prosperous, the treasury has been very empty for many years, it is said to attack the Tang Dynasty, that is, to send troops to clean up those cottage bandits in Gaochang, they are all a little strong, the anger of the old man, most of them are just a look for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, if someone really proposes to send troops to resist the enemy, Li Wentai will never agree.

The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the army is fierce, it is the Jieli of the year, the overlord of the northwest grassland, such a strong soldier and a strong horse, so impressive, what happened in the end, did not end up with a defeated and bound end?

Gaochang now, whether it is national strength or military strength, is less than the hundred and one at the time of Jieli, against the Tang Dynasty army, as Hou Junji said, there is no suspense, and there is no doubt about defeat.

Knowing that he will be defeated, he is unwise.

Ko Wentai squinted his eyes, stroked the few remaining strands of beard on his chin, glanced at Hou Junji deeply, and once again threw the problem on the foreign general.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's golden body, you can't ignore it," although there was some reluctance in his heart, but since the old man Lu Wentai asked, Hou Junji had to give some explanations, bowed down and bowed to Lu Wentai, Hou Junji bent down slightly and said: "According to the book from Gongsun Helan, when I turned around, Weichen asked someone to release the Liu Chongzhou, and he sent Her Royal Highness Princess Jin Ye back." ”

Regarding Liu Chongzhou's matter, these days in Gaochang is almost the coercion of public opinion formed by the joint appointment of officials at all levels and localities, and it has not been taken to heart by Hou Junji, some scholars who can only move their mouths to mislead the country, he is not afraid of waiting for someone, and he has no intention of giving in and letting people go.

It was later that Lu Wentai and the eldest prince secretly signaled, and Hou Junji never loosened his mind to spare the steward of Liufu. It's just a subordinate, if you kill it, you will kill it, and Li Wentai will not turn his face lightly with himself for the sake of a subordinate, as for Princess Jin Ye, Hou Junji doesn't believe it, then Gongsun Helan will have that guts, and he will dare to make any unfavorable moves to Princess Gaochang.

Of course, this does not exclude some private thoughts in Hou Junji's heart, that is, Gongsun Helan is bold and really ruthless to Princess Jin Ye, for Hou Junji himself, it is not a good thing, not only to increase the hatred of Lu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, but also to get rid of a princess His Royal Highness who has never dealt with him very well, so why not do it?

For the current situation, the sudden change in the attitude of the emperor above the court, in addition to the little majesty left of the lord of a country, is that for the sake of Gaochang's national strength, he can raise more military repercussions for the army under his command.

There is no money and food, there is no ringing silver, and no one will be stupid enough to shed blood and die for you, Hou Junji has been a general for decades, and naturally knows the truth that the army is not out and the grain and grass go first.

Although in the bottom of his heart, Hou Junji is one hundred and twenty unwilling to admit it, but the facts do not allow him not to compromise and be flexible, because he knows that if there is no enemy of the Liu family, a wealthy enemy, to make a move, as in the past, he wantonly buys Bai Diezi, the only specialty of Gaochang that can be produced in large quantities, it is difficult for Gaochang to get rich, and it is even more difficult for Gaochang's army to become strong. And if he wants to send troops to Datang, the time of shame will become longer.

Therefore, for these reasons, Hou Junji chose forbearance. It is not a wonderful thing to use the power of one's own enemies to kill one's own enemies in turn.

"As for Yang Kunshang and Gongsun Helan, the two yellow-mouthed children," After a pause, Hou Junji took a step forward and said to Lu Wentai again: "The envoy Chu Yichu, who went to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute this time, is not still in Chang'an and has not returned, Your Majesty can take a letter of resignation, send it to Chang'an on a fast horse, and report the matter to the Tang Emperor through the mouth of Lord Chu." ”

"It is not a trivial matter to privately detain the princess of a country and lightly provoke the border war between the two countries," Hou Junji said: "According to Weichen's understanding of the Tang Emperor, he will not spare Yang Kunshang and Gongsun Helan." ”

"Well, this, it's not a bad idea, it's just ......" Brushing the beard on his chin, Lu Wentai's voice paused slightly, remembering the incident of Chu Yi's trip to Datang this time, the old man's heart hesitated slightly, this tribute, Chu Yi was originally an outcast, with his current situation in the Tang Dynasty, let him discuss this matter to the Tang Emperor, I am afraid that it will be a little inappropriate.

"Lord Chu is smooth and smooth, and he is a rare good building in Gaochang, and it would be better for him to come out to explain this matter to the Tang Emperor," Seeing that their old man's face was hesitant, Koji Zhiyuan bowed down and said loudly to Koji Wentai in the hall: "Father, the son and the minister seconded the general's policy!" ”

"Weichen seconded!" "Weichen seconded!" "Weichen seconded!"

As soon as Ko Zhiyuan's words fell, he didn't wait for Ko Wentai, the monarch, to say anything, except for Ko Zhisheng and Prime Minister Qu Yifu, most of the courtiers in the palace all spoke casually, and seconded the proposal for Chu Yi to deal with this drudgery.

"Father, what General Chu said is also a famous family, although his temper is a little straight on weekdays, but he is not ......" Seeing that the old man of their family nodded in agreement, Koji Zhisheng, who had been standing quietly, finally couldn't help but stand up, but before the second half of the sentence 'It won't push him to death' could not be spoken, he was interrupted by the voice of the prime minister beside him.

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded it!" Secretly tugging on the sleeve of the eldest prince, Qu Yifu got up and stepped forward, and said to the Ko Wentai above the high hall-

Just yesterday, Lao Liu got married......

After more than a month of tossing and turning, I was finally able to stop for a while, and while I was relieved, Lao Liu's heart was also full of apologies......
