The second child, Cui Gongyi, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Big brother, this is a big event...... I have always thought that it is too risky, barbarians are barbarians after all, although we want to use their power, but our purpose is to support the king of Wei to ascend the throne, it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, these barbarians have entered the land of my Central Plains, I am afraid that they will not leave easily. ”

"Expected." Cui Gongwang raised his eyebrows, and said confidently, "The northern barbarians peep at my Central Plains for a long time, if they are allowed to enter the customs, how can they leave easily, but you don't have to worry, Li Shimin is not so easy to deal with, fighting with Li Shimin, it will lose most of the troops of this gang of barbarians, when the soldiers are in chaos, we help the King of Wei recruit troops and buy horses, when the time comes, Li Shimin and the barbarians will lose both, and the King of Wei will be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and in the name of clearing the internal troubles, he will lay down Chang'an, and then expel the barbarians from the customs, At that time, the king of Wei will have the reputation of expelling the barbarians, and with his status as the emperor's concubine, no one will object to ascending the throne. ”

Listening to his words, Cui Gongyi nodded again and again, and said with admiration: "Big brother is big brother, think so thoroughly, our Fanyang Cui clan will definitely become the number one family in the world under the leadership of big brother!" ”

"Don't get too excited just yet." Cui Gongwang said coldly, "Among the group of people who just saved Ye Mengqiu, some of them were wearing the clothes of Dali Temple, this time Dali Temple came to Youzhou to investigate the case, only Li Hao could instruct them, it seems that that group of people was sent by Li Hao, we have been exposed." ”

Cui Mingqu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Patriarch, what should I do?" ”

"Panic what!" Cui Gongwang glared at him, and said lightly, "This time Li Hao should come not just to investigate the case, when I found out that Ke Changqing's mother was rescued, I knew that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone out of the customs to contact Xue Yantuo, Hui and Khitan, now Fan Jinhai, the guard of Juyong Pass, is a chess piece that we have laid for many years, just wait a few more days, the rescue will arrive, in these few days, in order to prevent Li Hao from attacking, after dawn, immediately send someone to invite the King of Wei to come over to sit in the town, after all, the King of Wei is the prince, without the holy decree of the emperor, Li Hao did not dare to touch him. ”

"High!" Cui Gongjuan couldn't help but praise when he heard this, "Big brother, you are really powerful, third brother, I didn't expect it, big brother rest assured, I will send someone to wait outside Youzhou City now, as soon as the city gate is opened, I will go to invite King Wei to come over." ”

Li Hao led everyone all the way back to Youzhou City, and when he entered the city, he first went to the Governor's Mansion to treat Ye Mengqiu's wounds, the sky was already slightly bright, and Ye Mengqiu was still worried about not being able to kill Cui Gongwang, frowning and sighing.

Li Hao comforted: "Don't worry, I will definitely capture Cui Gongwang alive and let you kill him with your own hands." ”

With his promise, Ye Mengqiu was finally relieved, and he was secretly grateful to Li Hao in his heart, and he also knew that it was too difficult to go to Cui Gongwang for revenge with his own strength.

Li Hao left Situ Feng to take care of Ye Mengqiu, and he took people to find Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, he was going to use the golden fish talisman, no matter what holy decree was not a holy decree, first take Fan Yang Cui's family.

Sun Bowang was still sleeping, was woken up, hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the yamen to see Li Hao, when Sun Bowang came to the yamen, the sky was already bright.

As soon as Sun Bowang finished saluting, Li Hao said: "Lord Sun, Fan Yang Cui's murder of more than 70 merchants of Hu and Zhao, and sent assassins to assassinate the official, and also raised thousands of dead soldiers, plotting against him. ”

"Huh?" Sun Bowang was stunned when he heard this, and when he woke up, why did Fan Yang Cui's become a thief, and Li Hao also asked him to recruit soldiers and horses, which was a bit difficult.

Seeing him hesitate, Li Hao immediately took out the golden fish talisman from his arms, and asked loudly: "There is a golden fish talisman here, do you still have any questions?" ”

Sun Bowang was startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yes, the lower official will do it immediately!" ”

Sun Bowang was about to transfer troops after speaking, and Li Hao said loudly: "Adjust more soldiers and horses!" ”

"Yes!" Sun Bowang turned around and answered, and then left.

Sun Bowang had just left for a while, when Li Fox suddenly broke in and saluted and reported: "Lord, King Wei's car drove out of the city to the northeast, and there was no guard of honor. ”

"Oh?" Li Hao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and sneered, "Presumably Fan Yang Cui told Li Tai about last night's incident." ”

"Lord Wang, do you want to go down and intercept him back? Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will not be conducive to the prince to encircle and suppress the Cui family......"

"No need." Li Hao raised his hand and said, "It's better if he goes, I don't move him, it's for the emperor, if I really want to move him, what if there is no holy decree, since he wants to go, then let him go, just can catch it all, anyway, the holy decree is estimated to arrive in the next few days, and the difference is nothing, the result is the same." ”

Li Fox was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Hao in amazement, feeling that Li Hao was getting more and more awesome, and he was actually ready to directly deal with the King of Wei without a holy decree.

At noon, Sun Bowang came to Li Hao to reply to him, he had requisitioned 3,000 troops, and was on standby in the school field of Zhichong Mansion, Li Hao nodded, ready to go to Zhichong Mansion with him.

As soon as they came out of the Governor's Mansion, they saw a horse galloping, the man on the horseback was covered in blood, and before he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he turned over and dismounted, almost fell, Li Hao's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, Li Hao saw that this person was dressed in a military uniform, and he seemed to be a soldier guarding the border guard.

"Thank you." The soldier thanked Li Hao in an almost hoarse voice, then looked at Sun Bowang and said, "May I ask if it is Lord Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou?" ”

Sun Bowang was wearing an official robe, so he was naturally easy to recognize, Sun Bowang nodded and said, "It's this official, where are you a soldier?" ”

"Juyongguan." The soldier swallowed a mouthful of spit, moistened his dry throat, and said, "My lord, the humble position is Chen Bai, the captain of Juyong Guan, who guarded Guantuntian, and sent an urgent report of 100,000 urgent military situations on the order of Ruan Daoheng, the deputy general of Guan. He handed over a letter.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Sun Bowang hurriedly took the letter, tore open the envelope, unfolded it, and Li Hao also leaned over to read it together.

At a glance, Li Hao felt that the hairs all over his body stood up, and Sun Bowang glared and exclaimed: "What! Juyong guarded the general Fan Jinhai and treasoned with Hu and let the barbarians enter the customs? ”

"Yes, sir." Chen Bai swallowed another mouthful of spit, and said, "Three days ago, Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, Khitan, and the three ethnic groups gathered 60,000 troops to garrison outside the pass, and did not detain the pass, at night, the guard Fan Jinhai quietly opened the gate, let the barbarians enter the pass, the eight thousand soldiers guarding the pass fought bloodily, and finally lost the enemy, the villain was ordered by Vice General Ruan, desperately came to deliver the letter, when the villain left, Vice General Ruan had died under the knife......" When he said to the end, his voice trembled, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"This ...... This ......" Sun Bowang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Hao frowned, his mind turned sharply, and after a while, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Sun Bowang, this king orders you to immediately mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou to Youzhou, and this king will lead the army to intercept the barbarian army, go quickly!" ”

"Huh? Be! Sun Bowang hurriedly took the order and sent people to transfer troops.

The messenger Chen Bai was stunned when he saw this, in his opinion, Sun Bowanggui is the governor of Youzhou, in charge of the military and political power of Youzhou, he should be the biggest official in Youzhou, and the young man in front of him actually gave orders to Sun Bowang, which made him a little confused, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked the guards guarding the gate of the mansion: "Brother, let me ask you, the ...... just now Who is the young nobleman? ”

"You don't even know him?" The guard smirked and said loudly, "He is the legend of our soldiers, King Qiongnan!" ”

"What! King Joonnan! Chen Bai was stunned when he heard this, and after being surprised, he was in ecstasy, rubbing his hands and muttering, "Great, great, King Qiongnan has always been invincible, with him sitting in Youzhou, he is not afraid of barbarians......"

Li Hao hurriedly returned to the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, picked up his pen and began to write the recital, such a big event happened, of course, he had to report to Chang'an as soon as possible, and after writing the recital, he hurriedly sent eight hundred miles out of the city urgently.

Sent away the expedited military intelligence, Li Hao summoned Chen Bai to come in for questioning, he needed to know some details, from Chen Bai's mouth, Hu Yi entered the customs at night three days ago, Youzhou as the capital city, or Hebei's military powerhouse, after the arrival of the barbarian army, you must take Youzhou as soon as possible, Youzhou is only more than two hundred miles away from Juyong Pass, if you march quickly, you can reach it in three days, even if it is an ordinary marching speed, four days is enough, that is, he has one day at most.

Next, Li Hao ordered to send special forces to the Youzhou granary to set up a secret post, day and night to take turns to guard, no errands, since the guard of Juyong Pass will rebel, maybe there are traitors in Youzhou City, grain and grass are the guarantee of war, and they must be protected.

Sure enough, as Li Hao expected, that night, a group of people went to the Youzhou granary to prepare to set fire, and were discovered by the special forces in advance, killing more than a dozen people and capturing two living mouths, but these two live mouths all committed suicide.

After listening to Li Fox's report, Li Hao frowned, it seems that it was the dead soldiers who came to the granary to set fire to the granary this time, and looking at the scope of Youzhou, it seems that the only force that can cultivate the dead is the Cui family, and now it is basically certain that this time the barbarian army is coming, and he has no time to encircle and suppress the Cui family.

Early the next morning, the scouts reported that the enemy had been found 70 miles northeast of Youzhou, and it was expected to arrive in Youzhou today.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Bowang reported that the army had been mobilized, a total of 12,000 people, plus the 3,000 people who had been recruited before, a total of 15,000 people.

Li Hao frowned secretly after hearing this, there are too few, there are only so few people, it seems that he can only defend the city, and even defending the city is not easy, after all, there is too little time left for him to prepare, and at this moment, Chang'an's announcement team arrived, and Li Hao hurriedly led everyone to meet the holy decree in the front yard of the Governor's Mansion.
