"Lord Wang, they have all been killed, and there is no one left alive." The flying eagle ran into the tent and reported to Li Hao with his fists.

Li Hao put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile: "Transporting all the corpses to the gate of the Li family's mansion, this king is going to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, hum, don't give them some color to see, they still think that this king is a soft persimmon." ”

"Yes!" Flying Eagle was excited when he heard this, and if he transported these corpses to the door of the Li family's mansion, it would be a slap in the face of the Li family of Zhao County, and it would be very happy to think about it, and the flying eagle responded and immediately took the order.

At this time, Di Renjie was outside the account, and after hearing these words, he entered the tent and saluted and asked, "Lord Wang, do you know that these people are sent by the Li family?" ”

Li Hao nodded and raised his eyebrows: "Except for them, no one else has this courage, even if they have this courage, they don't have this strength, five hundred people, and they are equipped with bows and arrows, it's not a joke." ”

Di Renjie nodded, frowned and asked, "Lord Wang, do you need to check it for you, if you can find out the evidence of the Li family's crimes......

"No need." Li Hao waved his hand solemnly and said, "This matter is not something you can meddle in." ”

"Yes......" Di Renjie wanted to say but stopped.

Li Hao saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he said, "What else do you have to say?" Just say, don't babble. ”

Di Renjie said: "Lord Wang, why are all your guards equipped with crossbows?" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for any high-ranking and dignitary guard to be equipped with a crossbow, because the crossbow was an ancient plug-in and was strictly forbidden, and the production process of the crossbow also limited the number of crossbows.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "This crossbow was invented by the king himself, and he is preparing to go back to the emperor to dedicate it, although the power of this crossbow is not very great, but it can be fired continuously, but the process is a little more complicated, but the choice of materials is not too harsh, it is a very rare good thing, after the king researched it, he first made hundreds of samples to try, and then prepared to dedicate it to the emperor, do you still have any questions?" ”

"Nope." Di Renjie shook his head.

"Then go back and rest." Li Hao waved his hand and sent him away.

"Yes." Di Renjie nodded helplessly, turned around and walked out of the tent.

After Di Renjie's footsteps were far away, Ye Mengqiu frowned and said, "Lord Wang, this Di Renjie ...... I seem to be a little stunned. ”

"You're stunned." Li Hao rolled his eyes and said, "He is loyal to the country but not to me, if I am dedicated to the country, I can become good friends with him, if I have any evil thoughts, he will be the first to jump out against me, Di Renjie is loyal, the same as Wei Zheng." ”

Ye Mengqiu was surprised: "The prince actually compares him to you and Lord Wei Zheng? ”

Li Hao nodded and smiled: "He can, don't look at him now as just a sesame mung bean Dali Temple, he will fly very high in the future." ”

Ye Mengqiu especially didn't believe that who could say for sure what would happen in the future, but he couldn't question Li Hao either.

Early the next morning, Li Hao and they set off normally, but the Li family of Zhaojun blew up, and five hundred corpses suddenly appeared at the door, piled up into a mountain of corpses, blocking the gate, the master of the Li Mansion came out to take a look, and was startled, no wonder the dead soldiers sent out last night had no news at all, it turned out that they were all dead, and they were also sent to the door to demonstrate.

Li Liangfu, the master of the Li family, immediately convened a meeting of important members of the clan to discuss countermeasures for the failure of the sneak attack on Li Hao, and there was silence in the conference room.

After a long time, Li Liangfu sighed: "The matter has come to this, you don't have to hold back, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately shouted: "I just said, you can't do this, Li Hao is a fuel-efficient lamp, he is an expert in warfare, how can it be useful to him with force!" ”

"Alright, third! Now is not the time for an afterthought, say something useful! ”

"Master, I thought that Li Hao didn't seem to be planning to tear his face with us, although he knew that we sent someone to kill him, but he had no evidence, otherwise he wouldn't have piled up these corpses outside our mansion, he was warning us."

"That's right, he can't deal with us without evidence......"

"Master, we might as well send someone to inform the eldest grandson Wuji and ask him to sum it up for us."

"Yes, it's time to inform the eldest grandson Wuji, and by the way, let him help check who robbed the military report we sent last time......"

Li Hao's move knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, which really made the Li family of Zhaojun panic, plus they sent someone to send a military report to the eldest grandson Wuji before, but they were robbed in Wuyanggang, they were even more worried, in case they were exposed, they had to take the road of the Lu family and the Cui family, this is not what they want, at least not to the point of last resort, they don't want to rebel.

Just as Li Hao was heading all the way to Chang'an, in the northwest, on a wilderness at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, 30,000 Western Turkic troops were rushing eastward.

Yang Long's soldiers were defeated and Tuguhun and asked for reinforcements from the Sanmishan royal court, while the Western Turkic ministers had different opinions and had been arguing, and the Shabaluo Khan Ashina Helu had been hesitant and dragged on for nearly ten days, and Ashina Helu finally decided to send reinforcements, and the commander of the reinforcements this time was Dili Larna.

Dililalna was wearing a silver armor and red cloak, riding a red and fiery tall horse at the front of the army, heroic, suddenly, she saw a huge stone tablet erected in front of her, she suddenly raised her hand, the army slowly stopped, this stone tablet is the national boundary monument erected by Li Hao, and he also made a bet with Li Hao under this stone tablet.

Dililarna led a group of people to the stele, only to see that after so many years of wind and rain, the words on the stele were still clearly visible, like a sharp blade piercing the hearts of all the Western Turkic soldiers.

"The Tang Dynasty Boundary Monument, east of this boundary, are all Tang soil, you and other foreign countries, do not offend, if you look up to the Chinese civilization, you can come to the dynasty with piety, dare to try to Tang every inch of land, will destroy its clan, there are people who offend my Tang Tianwei, although far away will be punished! In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shifang erected a monument here to alert all nations. Dililarna stretched out her hand and touched the inscription lightly, slowly reading the inscription, and a sense of humiliation came to his heart, but the next moment, he remembered the picture of the bet he made with Li Hao, Li Hao said that if he lost to him, he would marry him, but ...... The Great Khan had already given him a marriage to the Garqin Ling, and it would not be long before the Garqin Ling would marry her with a dowry, and she would not be able to fulfill the bet she had only seen with Li Hao.

"I'm sorry, I can't fulfill the bet I made back then......" Dililarna looked at the inscription, and a sense of sadness welled up in her heart, she knew that this was not good, after all, Li Hao was their biggest enemy of the Western Turks, but she just couldn't help it.

There was a loud bang, and a stout strong man suddenly collided with a pair of pumpkin hammers, and then said loudly: "Dashuai, you dodge, let someone come and destroy this stone tablet with a hammer, this stone tablet is the Tang Dynasty's humiliation of our Western Turks!" ”

"Bastard!" Dili Larna suddenly turned her head and glared at him, and shouted coldly, "Have you beaten Li Hao, do you want him to personally lead the troops to Sanmi Mountain!" ”

The strong man suddenly shrank his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and was wronged and reprimanded.

After Dili Larna finished scolding, she said lightly: "If you want to break this monument, you can!" Li Hao said that as long as someone in our Western Turks can defeat him, he can destroy this monument, otherwise he will definitely personally lead his troops to our Sanmi Mountain Royal Court. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and no one dared to mention the destruction of the monument.

"Let's go, continue to march, General Yang Long is still waiting for us to come to the rescue in Fu Qi City!" Dililarna turned and mounted her horse, kicked her horse in the belly and moved forward, and the army started again, heading for the city.

Qinghai Lake, under the city, is waging a fierce battle, Li Shimin received the news of Xue Rengui's victory, Longxin Dayue, for Xue Rengui's request for help, naturally responded, immediately sent Li Daozong to lead 20,000 troops, to reinforce Xue Rengui.

After nearly two months of travel, Li Daozong's army finally arrived, nearly 40,000 troops besieged the city, still surrounded by three queyi, the city of Nuo Ge Bowl trembled with fright, but he just refused to surrender, he knew that the Tang army was benevolent and righteous, he was still Li Shimin's son-in-law, even if the army was defeated, Li Shimin would not give him death, at most he would put him under house arrest in Chang'an, so he was still ready to fight.

However, the Tang Army's offensive is too fierce, Xue Rengui is brave and good at fighting, naturally needless to say, this time even Li Daozong is like fighting chicken blood, he has been holding back for so many years, he has been forbearing, Taoguang is obscure, after Li Hao returned to Chang'an, he sent a secret letter to inform him that he could emerge, so he wanted to use this battle to speak for himself.

Li Daozong was originally very talented in military affairs, but he had been affected by his embarrassing identity for a long time, and he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet, but now he completely believed in Li Hao, let go of his hands and feet, and actually seized the east wall of Fu Qi City before Xue Rengui, and then broke through the east gate of Fu Qi City.

When the Garqin Mausoleum, which was still fighting desperately, heard that the east gate was broken, he knew that he was unable to return to the sky, so he immediately fled from the unguarded west gate with the remnants of the defeated army and went to the direction of Tubo.

Soon, Xue Rengui led the troops to capture the south gate, Li Daozong captured the north gate, the Tang army entered the city, Yang Long and Nuo Ge Bowl led the troops to escape from the west gate, and fled separately after leaving the city, Xue Rengui led the troops to chase the Nuo Ge Bowl, and Li Daozong led the troops to chase Yang Long.

Xue Rengui chased the Nuoge bowl for twenty miles, and finally caught up with the remnants of the Nuoge bowl, although there are still 10,000 troops left in the Nuoge bowl, but the defeat of the 10,000 remnants of the army has already been broken by the Tang army, morale is low, there is no combat effectiveness at all, and being caught up by the Tang army is a fight, and there are many people who surrender.

Nuo Ge Bo abandoned the army and continued to flee with more than a thousand remnants, Xue Rengui chased all the way with hundreds of elite horsemen, Li Hao warned him that if he could take Tuyuhun this time, he must take advantage of the chaos to kill Nuo Ge Bo, otherwise the matter of fake Honghua Princess will definitely be a gang.

After chasing for thirty miles, he finally caught up with Nuo Ge Bowl, after a period of conflict, Tuyuhun remnants were defeated, Nuo Ge Bowl also wanted to run away on horseback, but his horse was as fast as Xue Rengui's horse, Xue Rengui rode his horse and started to take an arrow, an arrow directly pierced Nuo Ge Bowl's left chest, Nuo Ge Bowl never expected that Tang Jun actually did it to himself, he looked back unwillingly, and then fell off the horse, and there was no movement.

Xue Rengui rode his horse over, checked it, and confirmed that Nuo Gebo had lost his breath, so he was relieved, and then, hundreds of cavalry escorted more than a hundred prisoners back, and someone drove a carriage, which was the car of Princess Honghua, although they captured Princess Honghua, but after all, she was the identity of Princess Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Army could not embarrass her.

"Chief, the enemy army has been ambushed, and one hundred and thirteen prisoners have been taken, and Princess Honghua is driving, I don't know if the princess is in the car." A cavalry captain reported to Xue Rengui.

"Well, you all retreat, don't startle the princess." Xue Rengui spoke, waved everyone away, and then came to the carriage, and whispered into the carriage through the window, "Princess, for your safety, no matter what I say later, please don't make a sound." His voice was so quiet that no one else could hear him if he wasn't standing next to him.

"Hmm." The man in the carriage snorted softly, and the sound was very quiet.

Then Xue Rengui went to the carriage and pretended to salute, and shouted: "The last general, Xue Rengui, welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Honghua!" ”

I waited for a long time, but there was no response.

Xue Rengui greeted him again, but there was still no response, and then Xue Rengui walked over and slightly lifted the car curtain, only to see "Princess Honghua" holding a baby in her arms, looking at Xue Rengui with a frightened face.

Xue Rengui squeezed his eyes at him, then put down the curtain of the car, and said loudly: "The princess is not in the car, you go back and look around!" The princess will be found! ”

"Yes!" Except for Xue Rengui's more than 20 cronies, the other soldiers and horses all scattered and left.
