After listening to the messenger's report, Li Yuan smiled: "Interesting, really interesting." I changed my mind, and I went to the city of Dongshou and set off immediately. ”

"Yes!" Li Jing couldn't ask anymore, so he had to agree.

There is no chief officer in the eastern surrender city at the moment, only an adjutant. The East Surrender is a sub-city under the control of Yunzhou, and a small city is under construction in the north of Yunzhou.

The most important thing in building a city is not the stone or the bricks, but the popularity.

Li Jing ordered people to escort and send Emperor Li Yuan to the area of Shengzhou, and the soldiers and horses sent by Yunzhou responded to it.

In real history, Yunzhou was captured by the Later Sui in the early years of Zhenguan with the power of the Turks, especially after the Weishui Alliance, no one fought back from the Tang Dynasty, so the Later Sui took a big advantage.

But now it is different, there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, and Yunzhou City will crush the Hou Sui to death.

It was impossible for Hou Sui to even get close to the range of Yunzhou City's grasp even a lost sheep.

Seeing off Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing led his men and horses to block the road that Li Jibu, who came here under the banner of transporting grain, nominally to greet him.

Li Ji's convoy did not stop, only Li Ji alone took two guards to the grass pavilion on the side of the road.

Li Jing also came to the grass pavilion from another direction.

"Generalissimo." Li Ji gave a salute first.

"Mao Gong!" Li Jing returned the salute, and then asked: "You also need to come over in person for this trivial matter of sending food." ”

Li Ji handed over a letter to Li Jing.

The letter was written by Liu Mu to Li Ji, and he borrowed only one person, the old wolf.

Qin Qiong returned to Chang'an, and except for one of the eight generals around him who was promoted to the general of Bingzhou, the remaining six were all transferred to Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji's subordinates.

"What he wants is not the old wolf, but the two hundred Mo sword soldiers of the old wolf's lineage." Li Jing returned the letter to Li Ji.

Li Ji smiled awkwardly: "He also borrowed Chai Shao for a hundred rides." ”

"No wonder he came out of Chang'an without bringing his newly trained main force soldiers and horses, the 1,000 people of Chang'an's Shence Left Guard, and I also know that there are less than 50 people left behind who originally participated in the war." Li Jing looked at the north with his hands behind his back.

Li Ji approached Li Jing and whispered: "Actually, I don't blame him, he sent a messenger as soon as he arrived in Shuofang from the Emperor Taishang, he said that he was afraid that the Emperor Taishang would let him go to the battlefield, so he made more preparations." ”

"So, what are you doing here?" Li Jing asked directly.

Li Ji asked Li Jing rhetorically: "Didn't the generalissimo find out that Su Dingfang was not in the camp." ”

Li Jing was taken aback: "You mean, Su Dingfang followed Liu Ren's ......" Li Jing stopped halfway through speaking, Li Ji didn't know his strategic plan, and he believed that Liu Mu couldn't break the rules and let the strategic plan be known to unrelated people.

Sure enough, Li Ji said: "I don't know how to fight, but Su Dingfang is not there, and he said that he can't command the troops." He hoped that I would help him for ten days, this favor would be helped, and he also told him that if the emperor let him go to the battlefield, he would have a sixty percent chance of meeting Jieli, and one percent of the chance of killing Jieli, such a temptation, do you say I can not come? ”

Li Jing nodded, and he would come too.

Moreover, this did not violate the military order, Li Jiben was responsible for escorting grain and grass to the front line in Hengzhou, Xingzhou, Daizhou, and Bingzhou Prefecture. And in only ten days, even he couldn't say that there was anything wrong with Li Ji. In the process of escorting grain and grass, the enemy happened to be encountered, and it was reasonable to bring troops to support.

"Go back to the city first, and I'll discuss a small matter with you."

Two days later, Yanagi, who was still living a drunken life in the hot springs, got three pieces of news.

One is that the Emperor Taishang went directly to the east to surrender the city, the second is that Jieli has gathered an army to the south, and the third is that Li Ji was detained by Li Jing.

Later that day, Li Jing's messenger also arrived.

"Why bother to fix your own people." Yanagi grumbled after reading the letter.

Li Junxian, who was playing mahjong with Liu Mu, asked: "Why do you say that, Generalissimo Li is definitely your friend Lang Jun." ”

He said that he would order Li Ji to lead his troops to the east to be escorted by the surrender city. Of course, if he had thirty flying scouts to back him up, he wouldn't need to be escorted. ”

Dugu Shura said, "I will send sixty people over. Without Brother Wolf's Chongmo Sword Formation, it's very troublesome, and I feel that Jieli is coming at us. It was analyzed by Su Dingfang before leaving, and it was divided into the western surrender city. ”

Liu Mu didn't rush to agree, but said: "It's not that I'm reluctant, it's not that I'm stingy." The production cost of this glider is very high, the fine steel frame is matched with the bamboo woven soaked in oil, and then the fine silk alone is a few catties, and the sheepskin, lacquer, glue and so on are added. How much time and how much does it take to train a scout rider. ”

This direction Dugu Shura has the most right to speak, and this training is really hard.

And to be thin, people with good eyesight, seventy percent of the qualified people at the moment are women, because women are thin and flexible.

For example, Dugu Shura himself can barely fly, but he can't carry any more weight.

With Wei Chigong's size, he couldn't fly at all.

"Okay, Li Junxian, you take people to the west to be surrendered, and I will pick up the wolf general and General Li Ji. Dugu Shura, you go with me, according to what you said, bring sixty people. ”

Liu Mu understood that there was no way to refuse Li Jing this time.

Even if Li Jing doesn't deduct Li Ji, it is not easy to refuse when he comes to him to ask for himself. But it doesn't mean that he won't talk to Li Jing about the conditions, such as the treatment of these people.

In the surrender of the city, Liu Mu saw Li Jing.

Li Jing didn't expect that Liu Mu would bring forty female soldiers in military uniforms.

"Senior Brother Yao, the big war is coming, so I won't go around in circles with you, let's not talk about how much it costs to make and train this thing. Just to say two things, they all travel with poison and fire oil, and in case of an accident they will burn off the flying wings and then use the poison to commit suicide. How terrible they would be in the hands of the Turks, I don't need to describe it. ”

"Yes." Li Jing nodded, he did not object to Liu Mu's words in the slightest.

It's just that Li Jing was a little surprised that these flying scouts turned out to be female soldiers.

"Captain Xuanjie, this is what I asked for from the generalissimo of the expedition. And one group needs two assistants, a handyman. In addition to this, strong sergeants and horses are also needed. Fifteen groups, and also brought a six-person ordnance maintenance team, so a total of sixty-six people. I also want a military position of nine grades. ”

"Yes."

Li Jing was secretly thanking Princess Zhaowu of Pingyang, if it weren't for this princess, Datang would not have the rank of a female soldier.

It's just that after the death of Princess Zhaowu of Pingyang, there was no female rank in the army.

In front of Liu Mu, Li Jing, as the generalissimo of the expedition to the north, immediately signed the official document and used the seal.

Liu Mu said again: "Senior Brother Yao, there is another rule. They are female soldiers. ”
