Just when the plague broke out in the Gaochang military camp, Li Hao's second letter for help had arrived at the Ministry of War, last time because of Li Hao's folding, the Ministry of War Lang Ran Xu carried a lot of pots, at that time Li Chengqian said that he did not receive Li Hao's fold, then their Ministry of War must carry the pot, so this time the Ministry of War Lang Lang Ran Xu received the fold and first called the Ministry of War Shangshu Hou Junji and other officials in the DPRK and China to witness together, and then called the eldest grandson Wuji, and handed the fold to the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji was very unhappy when he saw the fold, didn't he throw the hot potato into his hand, he couldn't take it himself, he had no choice but to visit Fang Xuanling, and the two went to the East Palace together to present the fold.

Li Chengqian was also very unhappy after reading the folds, he suppressed Li Hao's twists and turns a month ago, but he didn't expect to receive Li Hao's battle report now, and the battle report also said that Li Hao attacked the enemy camp at night and defeated Gaochang's 15,000 army with 1,000 people.

The key problem is that Li Chengqian not only didn't want to reward Li Hao, but also wanted to kill him, he turned his mind, and suddenly grinned: "This Li Hao is really not an idle person, he actually defeated the 15,000 army of Gaochang with 1,000 people, he is simply my Tang Dynasty god general, with him guarding Tingzhou, I am relieved." ”

"Your Highness!" Fang Xuanling frowned and arched his hand, "Your Highness, although Li Shimad is brave and strategic, he can be called a god general, but in the middle of the compromise, Gao Chang borrowed 50,000 troops from the Western Turks, intending to take Tingzhou in one fell swoop. ”

Li Chengqian frowned unhappily and asked Xiang Eldest Sun Wuji: "Uncle, what do you think about this matter?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, the minister seconded the proposal." ”

Li Chengqian was even more unhappy when he heard this, he didn't understand, why this group of people always stood on Li Hao's side, he was the crown prince, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor! They knew that they hated Li Hao, but they always helped Li Hao, and he was very sad and angry.

However, no matter how angry he is, he can only endure it, and when he really sits on the throne, he will settle accounts with these people one by one, but that is all for later, and then solve the current matter first.

In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji is also very helpless, he doesn't want to have a dislike with Li Chengqian, but he can't talk nonsense with his eyes open, otherwise Li Shimin won't be able to spare him when he comes back, he really wants to persuade Li Chengqian, let him put aside his personal grievances for the time being, and state affairs are important, but Fang Xuanling is present, he can't say it, besides, he understands Li Chengqian's temper, and it's useless to say it.

So Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked: "Those two are talking about how many soldiers and horses should be sent to send troops to help, and who should lead the troops?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "This goes to Tingzhou, nearly 10,000 miles away, but also through 2,000 miles of sand moraine, there is no water and grass, the climate is abnormal, it is not suitable for the army to be dispatched, the minister thinks, you can send Liangzhou Governor Li Daliang to command 20,000 troops, set off from Liangzhou lightly, through the Great Wall, to Suzhou, through the Yumen Pass, you can arrive in Tingzhou in two months." ”

Li Chengqian secretly admired when he heard this, this is indeed the fastest way to gallop to Tingzhou, and the number of soldiers and horses is also quite appropriate, after all, it is to defend the city, 20,000 soldiers and horses are enough, Fang Xuanling is worthy of being a minister of the old Cheng to seek the country, and he is very good at political and military affairs.

But admiration is admiration, Li Chengqian still doesn't like his answer very much, because he wants Li Hao to die, so he can't go to the rescue so quickly, although two months is a long time, but if Li Hao survives to that time, then Li Hao won't die.

Li Chengqian just wanted to refute, but suddenly found that the eldest grandson Wuji was glaring at him, and shook his head slightly, because the position where the eldest grandson Wuji was standing was behind Fang Xuanling's side, so Fang Xuanling did not notice the small movements of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Although Li Chengqian wanted to kill Li Hao, he shook his head when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji, knowing that it must be bad, although he was a little dissatisfied with the eldest grandson Wuji recently, but the eldest grandson Wuji's ability and vision he still quite recognized, since the eldest grandson Wuji gave him a hint, it means that there must be a reason, so he turned his head and asked the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "Uncle, what does your uncle think about the proposal of the servant?" ”

Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Highness, the method proposed by the servant is the most suitable method at the moment, but the minister thinks that Zhang Daliang is in charge of a government, and the government affairs are busy, so it is not suitable to lead the army. ”

"Oh?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and spread his hands and asked, "Then who does my uncle think is the most suitable person to lead the army?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The minister thinks that it is most appropriate for Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, to serve as the general manager of the march. ”

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and said: "Since this is the case, then Gu will convene all the secretaries in the Liangyi Hall tomorrow to discuss the matter of sending troops carefully." ”

After sending Fang Xuanling away, Li Chengqian put his eldest grandson Wuji inside, and after retreating left and right, he asked: "Uncle, just now you looked at the lonely envoy, but what do you have to say?" ”

"Your Highness has already understood what the minister meant." The eldest grandson Wuji said slowly, "Your Highness, the minister knows that you hate Li Hao, but even if you hate him, Your Highness can't forget his public affairs because of selfishness, and fall into the hands of others. ”

Li Chengqian's heart sank, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's better to be my own uncle, I misunderstood him just now, but in fact, he is towards himself." ”

As soon as he thought of this, Li Chengqian shook his body at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "Thank you uncle for mentioning it, uncle, why do you want to replace the candidate for the commander of the army with Hou Junji." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said leisurely: "Hou Junji's son-in-law, Helan Chushi...... In your East Palace, right? ”

"That's right." Li Chengqian nodded, "Helan Chu Shiguan worships the East Palace Qianniu." ”

"Oh." The eldest grandson Wuji said slowly, "If you really don't want to save Li Hao, you can let Helan Chushi pass the word to Hou Junji, and Hou Junji will understand." ”

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he was stunned for a long time before he surrendered his hand happily: "Thank you, thank you uncle for mentioning it." ”

When he walked out of the East Palace, he stood in front of the sedan chair at the door, looked up at the sky, and whispered with a melancholy face: "Li Hao, don't blame me, you shouldn't offend him, after all, he is the future master of the Tang Dynasty, if you offend him, you will take this step sooner or later." ”

After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, shook his head, and walked into the sedan chair to leave.

When Dililarna came to the camp ten miles south of Tingzhou City with a hundred guards, she saw a depression in the camp.

Tian Long received a report from the guards of Yuanmen, saying that General Dililarna of the Western Turks was coming, and hurriedly came out of the tent to greet him, and the two sides met, without too many greetings, Dililarna directly asked straight to the point: "Marshal Tian, this general heard that there was a plague in your camp some time ago, and a large number of soldiers died of the epidemic, but is there such a thing?" ”

Tian Long frowned when he heard this: "This is indeed the case, but this matter has not yet been reported by the marshal, how did General Larna know about it?" ”

"You don't have to worry about how General Ben found out." Larna said coldly, "You only need to tell General Ben how many of the 50,000 Western Turkic troops brought by General Ben are left now?" ”

Tian Long guessed that something was wrong when he saw Dililarna coming to the barracks, and now Dililarna asked, which confirmed his thoughts even more, so he could only hide and say: "There was a plague in the barracks, countless people were infected, and the soldiers of the Western Turks were not spared......

"General Ben asks you!" Dililarna suddenly glared and shouted, "How many of my Western Turkic 50,000 troops are left!" ”

Tian Long was stunned by her roar, as the commander of the dignified march, in his own military camp, he was asked by a female general in person, this was simply a slap in the face, but he didn't dare to attack, why, because the Western Turkic army is the main force of this military camp, and their Gaochang army is basically a bastard who fights soy sauce, and he even suspects that if Dililarna kills herself here, it is estimated that she will still be able to return to the Western Turks with a swagger, which is so awesome.

"Speak!" Seeing that he was stunned, Dililarna drank cold again.

Tian Long coughed dryly, forcibly concealed his embarrassment, and replied, "It's still ...... And also...... Sixteen thousand ......"

"Sixteen thousand!" Dililarna couldn't believe her ears, and immediately shouted angrily, "There are only sixteen thousand left? ”

"General Larna is angry." Tian Long hurriedly explained, "It's all plague, plague, General Larna, you also know that plague can't be cured, and it's extremely contagious...... "For Gao Chang, the plague is indeed a terminal disease, even in Datang, the cure rate of the plague is not high.

Dililarna interrupted him loudly: "Why is there a plague all of a sudden? ”

"This ......," Tian Long said with a sad face, "I don't know about this." ”

"Does your ** doctor only eat and!" Dililarna glared at him fiercely and snorted coldly, "Where do my Western Turkic soldiers live, General Ben wants to see them." ”

Tian Long hurriedly said, "In Xiying, General Larna, please come with me." As he spoke, he hurriedly led Dililarna towards the western camp.

As soon as he entered the western camp, a Western Turkic guard soldier thought he was dazzled when he saw Dili Larna, and then shouted in ecstasy: "General Larna is here!" General Dililarna is here! ”

Suddenly, the soldiers in the western camp came one after another, and when they saw Dililarna, they were all so excited that they were full of tears, as if they saw their long-lost parents, Dililarna saw them in a mess, and immediately frowned and snorted: "Line up!" ”

"Boom, lala......" All the Western Turkic soldiers immediately lined up quickly when they heard the sound, and the scene was full of footsteps and the sound of armor colliding, and in just a moment, 16,000 troops were already standing neatly in the school field, which shows that Dili Larna's army is also very strict.

Dililarna looked carefully, there were six generals standing in the front row, and when she first came, there were sixteen generals.

"What about the others?" Dili Larna asked.

Although the general led by "General ......" has been holding back tears, when he heard Dililarna's words, he couldn't hold back anymore, wiped his tears and cried, "They are all dead, dead, dying of the plague, and they can't even find their bodies, woo woo woo ......"

Tian Long followed the advice of the military medical captain and set fire to the plague quarantine area, burning all the corpses so as not to let others be infected with the plague again.

Dililarna's eyes were slightly red, she raised her head and tried to stop her tears, calmed down her emotions, and said, "The army obeyed the order, went back to pack up their bags and food, and came here to line up!" ”

"Yes!" The sergeants shouted in unison, disbanded, and went back to the camp to pack their bags.

Tian Long was taken aback when he saw this, looked at Dili Larna, and asked urgently: "General Larna, what are you going to do, you can't mess around, you must not mess around......

For Tian Long's noise, Dililarna turned a deaf ear, stood there and watched the soldiers busy packing their bags, ignoring him, Tian Long was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, turning straight ahead.

After a while, the sergeants packed up and lined up again.

Dili Larna turned her head to face Tian Long, and said coldly: "Tian Dashuai, these sixteen thousand generals, this general has brought them back, Tingzhou, you can fight by yourself." ”

She said that she waved to the soldiers of the Western Turks and said loudly, "Go, let's go home." ”
