Zhou Jitong's death touched Xue Shao greatly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although compared with Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, the relationship between Zhou Jitong and Xue Shao is not very close, but his identity is extremely special, which is mainly reflected in his very similar "background" to Xue Shao. The fathers of the two are both concubines of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, and they are both generals of the Imperial Guards who were trusted and reused by Gaozong Li Zhi, and they have always stood tall after Wu Zetian became emperor.

In his early years, Xue Shao had a good relationship with Zhou Jitong when he was serving in the Imperial Forest Army, and he also fought side by side with his father Zhou Daowu. But later, Xue Shao led the military (mainly commanding the field division), in order to avoid suspicion, Xue Shao took the initiative to weaken his relationship with Zhou Jitong, the general of the imperial forbidden army. But the "roots" of the two have always been linked, Xue Shao has always regarded Zhou Jitong as a "stand-in" in front of Wu Zetian, what kind of attitude Wu Zetian has towards Zhou Jitong is likely to mean what kind of attitude she will have towards herself.

Now, Zhou Jitong is dead.

Xue Shao's feeling is that someone made a doll exactly like himself, and then cut off the head of the doll with a knife.

It can be a curse, a threat, or a declaration of war.

Thousands of miles away, Xue Shao could not accurately predict what kind of drastic changes would take place in the capital. Even if his news network is developed enough, with the current means of communication, by the time Xue Shaotan hears accurate news, many things will be irretrievable.

The worry and pressure in Xue Shao's heart are getting worse day by day.

Princess Taiping, Shangguan Wan'er, brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters, so many relatives, children and brothers are all in the capital. The fire at the city gate has affected the fish in the pond, who knows what they will be like tomorrow?

Even if it is Princess Taiping, Wu Zetian's most beloved biological daughter in his life, in the face of the huge political storm, it is difficult to guarantee that she will suffer bad luck. Xue Shao's heart has always been quite clear about this, as early as in his previous life, he was already very clear.

Through more than ten years of hard work, Xue Shao finally got rid of the tragic fate of the vase horse in history who "died unjustly in prison", but now there seems to be a more violent crisis storm rolling in. Not only did it have the potential to take Xue Shao's own life, but it could also destroy everything he had so far.

Fate is like a bloodthirsty beast. Xue Shao desperately suppressed it for more than ten years, and it suppressed and accumulated more than ten years of animal nature. Now, it's finally a one-off explosion!

No one knows what will happen next, and there is no such story in history. Xue Shao's heart was already filled with a strong sense of worry and crisis, whether it was out of intuition or rational thinking, he thought that the most important thing he should do now was to accumulate military power and strengthen his strength!

The time to test the results of more than ten years of hard work has finally arrived.

On this day, it was cloudy and windy.

The wind in Black Sand City is non-stop, and the sand and dust are all over the sky.

Since leaving Beijing, Xue Shao put on his first-class Taiwei court uniform for the first time, the Xuanyi continued to wear a gold medal and purple ribbon, and the three Liang Guanpei Mountain Xuanyu of Jinxian Sanliang.

He was ready to meet two important people.

When Li Dayu heard that Xue Shao had arrived at Heisha and wanted to see him, he immediately brought the county lord of the Li clan that he had married from the Central Plains, Pegasus, to meet him.

Sun Wanrong, who claimed to be seriously ill and bedridden for more than a month, could not travel far away, and repeatedly humbly confessed his guilt - did not come.

Expected. Xue Shao was not surprised.

Li Dayu was still grinning, but as soon as he saw Xue Shao's rather formal court clothes, he immediately stopped hipping, and greeted Xue Shao with the courtesy of an envoy.

The idlers retreated, and in addition to Xue Shao and Li Dayu, only Xue Ne was left alone.

"The Great Chief." Xue Shao also used a more formal title for Li Dayu, and said bluntly, "Inviting you here today is to discuss an important matter. ”

Li Dayu knew that things were not simple, and said solemnly: "Please also ask the captain to show me?" ”

"I want you to help me and kill the Turks."

In a word, the rock is shattering!

Li Dayu has never been a timid person, and he has seen a lot of the world. But his eyes widened in shock.

Xue Shao said again: "After the matter is completed, the Khitan tribe and its territories will all belong to you." ”

Li Dayu took a deep breath, his chest bulged high, and he couldn't spit out his breath for a long time, almost suffocating to death.

"How?"

"Smack!"

Li Dayu slapped his palm on the table, "Deal!" ”

At the same time, deep in the steppe.

Xuanyunzi turned around and looked at Xue Linyu.

Xue Linyu was young after all, and he looked a little uncomfortable, and muttered, "Immortal Gu, what's wrong?" ”

"You're becoming more and more like your father." Xuan Yunzi smiled, "Let's leave it at that, I can only walk the rest of the way alone." Find a place to hide, and I'll find a way to get in touch with you. ”

Xue Linyu frowned a little worriedly, and said, "Immortal Gu, there are still a hundred miles ahead, so let's escort you over, right?" ”

"Nope." Xuan Yunzi refused very decisively and said, "Go further, there are scouts of wolf riders within a radius of a hundred miles. ”

"That's why what if they embarrass you?" Xue Linyu asked.

"Don't worry, it won't." Xuanyunzi Zhizhu smiled and said, "Now, I am a distinguished guest that they can't invite." But if I had Xue Shao's son and soldiers and horses by my side, the meaning would be completely different. ”

"I see." Xue Linyu nodded, "Then I'll hide nearby, ready to answer at any time." ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled and nodded, and Lerma turned to go.

She had just walked out of the land less than a stone's throw away, and Xue Linyu left Qin Poyu and the others to chase after her alone.

"Is there something wrong?" Xuan Yunzi stopped the horse and asked.

Xue Linyu's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

Xuan Yunzi looked at his expression and wanted to laugh a little. Although he is smart, he is young after all, and he can't hide his thoughts.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask!" Xuan Yunzi took the initiative to speak.

"Fairy Gu, I know there are some questions that I shouldn't ask. But ......" Xue Linyu hesitated.

Xuan Yunzi chuckled, "Did you hear some rumors?" ”

Xue Linyu's expression changed slightly and nodded.

"And what do you want to ask?"

"Am I real, there is an older brother in the grassland?"

"His name is Ashina Krakus." Xuan Yunzi's expression was calm and blunt, "He also has a Chinese name, which I gave him, called Xue Shenying." ”

"Ashina Krakus...... Xue Shenying! Xue Linyu muttered, and some complex expressions appeared on his immature face.

Xuan Yunzi wanted to laugh again when he saw his expression.

This kid is so cute!

"What are you thinking, just tell me?" Xuan Yunzi asked.

"I don't know......" Xue Linyu took a deep breath and said, "I don't dare to ask about the matter of my father, let alone discuss it. I just feel that since we are brothers, we should live together like a family. ”

"You want to take him back to the prairie?"

Xue Linyu nodded. Very decisive.

Xuan Yunzi really laughed now. Smiled with relief.

"Fairy Gu...... Do you think my idea is too naïve, too ridiculous? Xue Linyu's expression was a little embarrassed, as if he had a big embarrassment.

"It's naïve, but it's not ridiculous." Xuan Yunzi smiled, "Many times, naivety and straightforwardness are far cuter than scheming. ”

"Uh......" Xue Linyu's face turned red.

"May I relay your words to Krakus?" Xuan Yunzi asked with a smile.

"Yes." Xue Linyu nodded without hesitation, and took out a cloth bag from his chest armor and handed it to Xuan Yunzi, saying, "When I left home, my father didn't allow me to bring any money and belongings, but my mother still secretly gave me this jade pendant, which is a talisman that I have been carrying on my body since I was born. Just ask the fairy girl to transfer it to ...... To give...... My brother! ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled and took the small cloth bag with body temperature, "I will definitely give it to him." ”

"Thank you, Fairy Gu! Take care all the way! ”

A few days later, the gale did not stop. Some of the stables in the town of Black Sand were blown over.

Such days are obviously not conducive to marching, and it is impossible to even train troops.

Li Dayu was dressed in iron-clad uniform, and rushed to Heisha with his five thousand elite horsemen.

Xue Shao looked at him and said with a smile: "Great Chief, you advise you to think about it one last time." This is a desperate bet, in case we lose, the Xi clan will be wiped out. ”

"Then there are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine possibilities, and we will win." Li Dayu grinned and said, "This one, I'm sure of it!" ”

"Good!" Xue Shao exhaled heavily, summoned him to a quiet place and whispered to him for a while.

Li Dayu laughed, "Isn't it just causing trouble?" I've always been good at it! ”

Xue Shao also smiled, "Then go, I'll wait for your good news!" ”

"Let's go!" Li Dayu turned over and rode away, whipping his horse.

Xue Ne looked at the large piece of smoke and dust in front of him, his expression was a little confused, and he whispered: "Xue Shuai, what did you let him do?" ”

"Be a-stirring stick." Xue Shao said with a smile.

"Huh?" Xue Ne was stunned at first, and then laughed as well.

"Such a little trick can't hide from Yuan Zhen." Xue Shao said, "But it can create some chaos and make the Turkic royal court tired to deal with." It is best if you can attract or contain a group of Turkic soldiers and horses. ”

"Xue Shuai is here, scaring the snake?"

"Sort of!" Xue Shao said: "The Turks are hiding in the tent of Yudu Jinshan hundreds of miles away, and if they don't make a little noise, how can we find out their whereabouts and movements?" ”

"Reasonable." Xue Ne nodded approvingly, and said, "If we rashly go on an expedition of thousands of miles, it will be difficult for us to have a great chance of winning. ”

Xue Shao said: "What you said was too polite. It should be, there is absolutely no chance of winning. ”

Xue Ne smiled innocently, "What if the Turks swallow Li Dayu in one bite?" ”

"No, it won't." Xue Shao said, "Yuanzhen is a slippery fish that has been hooked. He knew that Li Dayu was a dangerous bait, and even if he was hungry, he would not easily touch it. ”

Xue Ne's eyes lit up, "Then Li Dayu can really do nonsense on the grassland?" ”

"That's what I want." Xue Shao smiled.

"Xue Shuai really knows how to make good use of people!" Xue Ne laughed, "In other words, if other people lead the troops, even if they are not afraid to move forward, at least they will be cautious and unable to show their hands and feet." Only Li Dayu, a guy who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can achieve the effect that Xue Shuai wants! ”

"I'll leave it to you first." Xue Shao said, "I still have to hurry back to Zhongshou City, where I will organize my troops and horses to raise grain and grass." Remember, from now on, you will have to block all border passages, even the smallest and most remote ones. The purpose is to completely cut off all ties between the grassland and the Central Plains, so that no news can be exchanged. In addition, you have to pay close attention to all the movements of the Khitan. If there is anything abnormal, report it to me immediately. ”

"Yes!"
