Li Tai and they came to the camp of the Goguryeo army with a large number of men and horses, and handed over the gift list first, in order to be able to form an alliance with Gai Suwen, the Cui family spent a lot of money this time, and gave 5,000 taels of gold alone, 50,000 stones of grain, and five beauties, which was much more than the gift given to Murqin before.

Although Murqin was unhappy, there was no way, the current Gai Suwen was tantamount to a savior for them, whether they could take Youzhou or not, it would all depend on Gai Suwen's 30,000 Goguryeo army.

The gift list was sent in, and after waiting for a while, Gai Suwen's personal guards came to report, and Gai Suwen invited them to the tooth tent to go to the banquet, and it was to eat, it seems that the dinner culture is not only popular in our Chinese nation, but also has a long history in foreign races.

Li Tai and his party went to the tooth tent under the leadership of Gai Suwen's personal guards, and Murqin and they were allowed to enter after disarming their weapons.

As soon as he entered the tooth tent, the bearded Gai Suwen greeted him with a smile: "Distinguished guest! Guest! Haha, they're all valued guests! ”

Li Tai saw his hypocritical smile, and secretly thought in his heart: "This is the land of Datang, and we have become guests." ”

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it, so he could only arch his hand and say: "The junior Li Tai has seen Gai Dashuai." ”

In order to win over Gai Suwen, he can be said to have given Gai Suwen enough face, he didn't put on a prince's shelf, and called himself a junior, Gai Suwen's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he said with a smile: "The King of Tang Wei is polite, everyone please take a seat." ”

Everyone sat down in front of the desk, Gai Suwen clapped his hands, and immediately there were many maids with food bowls to serve them food, no matter which country, there are generally no women in the march, but there are many maids in Gai Suwen's military camp, because he is the Great Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, and the Great Mo Lizhi is the meaning of the highest regent, Gai Suwen killed Queen Rongliu, and did not claim himself king, but set up King Rongliu's nephew Gao Bao as the king, and named himself the Great Mo Lizhi, Gao Baobao is just a puppet, in Goguryeo, Gaysuvin is the real king.

Gai Suwen led the troops to the expedition, which was basically similar to Li Shimin's personal expedition, so it was not surprising that he had maids in his military camp.

Li Tai saw the food bowl brought up, and immediately felt sick to his stomach, because these basins were filled with all kinds of meat, and the appearance was extremely poor, these days, he ate meat every day in the barbarian military camp of the three tribes, and it was similar to the meat in these food bowls, the taste was extremely poor, and the appearance was also a mess, he didn't understand, why these barbarians like to eat meat so much, and they eat so poorly.

Although he didn't deal with Li Hao, he also secretly went to Li Hao's Taibai Mansion to eat, and the meat dishes made there were really full of color, flavor, and flavor, and that was what people ate, what are these things.

Although he was disgusted, Li Tai also had to endure it, he was under the low eaves, he had to bow his head, who let him ask for help, he really has nothing except the identity of a Wei king now.

After the wine and food were served, the banquet began, Gai Suwen called a few Goguryeo dancers and performed a Goguryeo dance for them, to be honest, the Goguryeo dance is really ordinary, since watching the dance of the Tang Dynasty, Murqin They feel that these Goguryeo dancers dance like ducks, which makes people feel drowsy.

After a dance, Li Tai and the old guys of the Cui family had to clap their hands against their will, but they complimented Gai Suwen.

After watching the dance performance, the two sides pushed their glasses and changed their glasses for a while, and finally began to get to the point, Gai Suwen picked up the gift list on the case, looked at Li Tai with a smile, and said: "King Wei suddenly gave Yuan such a big gift, and Yuan deserves it." ”

Gai Suwen's full name is Yuan Gai Suwen, yes, his surname is Yuan, but in the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid Li Yuan's ridicule, the Tang people call him Gai Suwen, in fact, his surname is Yuan, not Gai.

Li Tai smiled and said, "Yuan Dashuai is serious, this is just a little bit of this king's meaning." ”

Gai Suwen smiled and said, "King Wei is going to go around the bend, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Seeing that he was so direct, Li Tai nodded, and said: "Don't hide it from the Yuan Dashuai, this king wants to win the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that Yuan Dashuai can help this king." ”

"Hehe......" Gai Suwen picked up the gift list and shook it, and sneered, "Just based on this, do you want Yuan to work for you?" ”

"Of course it's more than that." Li Tai said seriously, "But Yuan Dashuai should also know that this king can't take more now, as long as Yuan Dashuai can help this king win the throne, this king promises that all the territory to the east of Shanhaiguan will be allocated to Yuan Dashuai, and this king will also give a generous gift, which is ten times the gift list." ”

He said this in his mouth, but he roared in his heart: "When I sit on the throne, I will destroy all of you barbarians, and I want to occupy the territory of my Tang Dynasty, dreaming!" ”

Gai Suwen raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "King Wei is really so generous? ”

Li Tai said with a solemn face: "This king is willing to set up evidence." ”

"Good!" Gai Suwen slapped the table and said loudly, "King Wei is so sincere, how can Yuan push it back, and the note will be waived." Yuan can trust King Wei! ”

He doesn't care what kind of evidence he makes, he doesn't want to help Li Tai at all, he just wants to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and then divide the Tang Dynasty with other ethnic groups, he is confident, as long as the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, under his wise leadership, Goguryeo will definitely be able to quickly grow into a strong country, annex the other ethnic groups one by one, and then replace the Tang Dynasty and become a heavenly state.

Seeing that he agreed, Li Tai was secretly happy, and said, "Since Yuan Dashuai agreed, let's talk about cooperation." ”

"Okay." Gai Suwen spread his hands and asked, "How does King Wei want to cooperate?" ”

Li Tai had already made preparations, and said eloquently: "Right now, we need to capture Youzhou, Youzhou is the military stronghold of the Tang Dynasty, we can use Youzhou as a stronghold to resist the army of the imperial court, the Tang Dynasty has just suffered a Tubo attack not long ago, the national strength and military strength have been greatly damaged, and now they have sent troops to attack Tuyuhun, I believe that even if they send troops over, they will be extremely limited, at that time, Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, Khitan, and Yuan Dashuai, each of you will increase the army by 20,000, and destroy the people and horses sent by the imperial court first, Chang'an will be empty, take the opportunity to smash Huanglong, and the big thing can be done." ”

Gai Suwen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he touched his beard and muttered: "I can't see it, King Wei is quite talented as a military advisor, and this method is very wonderful." ”

Li Tai was praised by him, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he was only happy for a moment, and then frowned again: "It's just that this Youzhou is like a nail, blocking our way, and I hope that Yuan Dashuai can work with us to take it down, and most importantly, we must kill Li Hao, and we must not let him escape back to Chang'an." ”

"Oh? Li Hao? Gai Suwen frowned when he heard this, "Yuan has heard of this name, and I heard that it is a young general of your Tang Kingdom, and he has a lot of means to march and fight. ”

Li Tai nodded and said: "Li Hao is indeed good at fighting, and he has frequent strange moves, which is difficult to deal with, so we must kill Li Hao first, otherwise this person will be a big disaster." ”

Mu Erqin on the side said at this time: "This Li Hao is indeed very powerful, Youzhou is only defended by 15,000 people, and we have 60,000 people attacking the city, and now it has been nearly a month, and we have lost more than 20,000 people and horses, and we have not been able to take Youzhou." ”

Gai Suwen grinned and smiled fiercely when he heard this, and said, "Hearing you say this, I really want to meet this Li Hao for a while to see how capable he is." ”

Gai Suwen is a well-known iron-fisted military dictator, with an inexplicable enthusiasm for war, and he advocates force, so when he heard that these people praised Li Hao for his ability to fight, he was not convinced and wanted to compete with Li Hao.

Khitan coach Ra Mulun reminded: "Yuan Dashuai, don't take it lightly......"

Gai Suwen directly raised his hand to interrupt him and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Youzhou right now?" ”

Murqin replied, "About 10,000 people." ”

"What!" Gai Suwen frowned and looked at them, and asked in surprise, "There are still 10,000 people?" What have you been doing this month? ”

Mu Erqin explained: "Marshal Yuan doesn't know, in fact, they have lost nearly 8,000 troops, so in order to defend the city, Li Hao selected young and strong people from the people in the city to make up the number, and there are only 10,000 people. ”

"Haha!" Gai Suwen laughed when he heard this, and said loudly, "It turns out that they don't even have 10,000 people, so you can't capture Youzhou City, and see that Ben Shuai will attack the city tomorrow and take Youzhou in one fell swoop!" ”

The three of Murqin, Gesa and Ramulun glanced at each other and shook their heads secretly, they didn't believe that this Gai Suwen could have such great ability to take Youzhou City in one day.

The arrival of the Goguryeo army, Li Hao already knew, he sat in the study of the governor's mansion, looking at the curtain in a daze, he didn't sleep all night, thinking hard about the best way to break the enemy, however, he is not a god, he is just a traverser, the traverser can be opened, but this time his plug-in did not brought, how could he have expected that to investigate the case, it would encounter this kind of thing, he knew this, he transported two cannons over, no matter how bad it was, bring tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder over, let him try it is good, but now he doesn't have these, what he has now, That's 10,000 remnants.

Unconsciously, it was dawn, someone came to knock on Li Hao's door, Li Hao got up slowly, went over to open the door, and Di Renjie stood outside the door.

After Di Renjie saw Li Hao, his face was full of shock, his eyes were round, and he was stunned for a long time before pointing at Li Hao, and asked in shock: "Lord Wang, ...... your hair?"

"My hair?" Li Hao casually picked up a bunch of sideburns in front of him, only to see that his original black hair had become black and white.

"White?" Li Hao was stunned in place, and after a long time, he said, "Fetch me a basin of water." ”

Di Renjie hurriedly went to fetch water, and soon, a basin of water came, Li Hao poked his head above the basin to take a photo, and saw his sideburns in the water gray, as if he was more than ten or twenty years old.

"Sure enough, it's white." Li Hao smiled miserably, his smile was full of bitterness, and after a long time, he raised his head and sighed loudly, "White is white, you don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, like green silk turning into snow at dusk." ”

When he first read this poem, he was pretending to be forced on top of the Golden Palace, but now, he really realized what it was like to have gray hair overnight.
