Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Six

Moreover, now, it is time to put your attitude right, unless it is said that your immediate boss wants to rebel, otherwise, it is better to be able to express your position in time.

Compared to the sad Fang Lang General, Duan Shoujian's expression was not much better, but he also knew very well that now, all opportunities had been lost, and the only thing he could do was to be loyal to Li Youwen as soon as possible.

But fortunately, his father had helped Li Youwen to rescue Duan Shaojun before, and this time he also took the initiative to send troops to assist in the defense of Yunzhou, although there were not many troops, but at least it showed an attitude.

The previous performance can be regarded as sending carbon in the snow, and now, naturally, when it is time to show an attitude, it is impossible to be a little ashamed.

That night, more than a dozen carrier pigeons took advantage of the night, flipped their gray wings, and flew in all directions, towards the direction and goal that had already been set. At this moment, the Qihu barbarians outside the city were gnawing on mutton, drinking broth, recuperating, waiting for another siege battle in the middle of the night.

In the early morning of the next day, the gate of the Shuozhou Jiedu Envoy's Mansion was heavily guarded, and at this time, a merchant dressed as a gentry hurriedly gathered in front of the gate of the mansion and saluted the vigilant soldier. "This military master, the little one is polite."

"Go away, go away, this is not a place for you people to hang out." The soldier couldn't help but sink his face, raised his hand and shouted as if he were driving away flies.

"The military master is slow, the little one is not here to hang out, but on the order of Lord Duan, the defense envoy of Yunzhou, he specially sent a letter...... "The merchant did not retreat, but put his hand into his arms, and then took out a waist card and handed it forward.

When the soldier saw the handwriting on the waist card, he couldn't help but be stunned. "Lord Duan, the defense envoy of Yunzhou, you can't be talking about Lord Duan Shaojun of Zuo Yulin, the chief of the guard, right?"

"Yes, it is my son-in-law, the younger one is the messenger sent by my son-in-law in Shuozhou, today is a special urgent letter, I need to hand it over to the envoy of Jiedu, and ask this military master to report it."

"Leave it to us?" The soldier hesitated, turned his head, and looked at the leader not far away.

The leader came over, took the card, looked at it, rolled his eyes, and stretched out his hand to the messenger. "Just give the things to the official, as for whether I can see you or not, I need to wait for my family to read the letter."

"I'm sorry, but I have to hand over this letter to the envoy ......of the festival," the messenger shook his head resolutely.

The two sides argued for a while, and finally, for the sake of ten taels of silver, the leader smiled and ordered one of his subordinates to go in and report to Duan Yuanzhong, the envoy of Shuozhou Jiedu.

"The messenger of Yunzhou, do you have to hand it over to this official in person?" Stroking his long beard, Duan Yuan, who had just gotten up and was dealing with official business, raised his eyebrows, raised his head and glanced at the soldier. "Yunzhou...... Well, let him in and see what kind of good news he can bring to this officer, well, hopefully good news. ”

And when Duan Yuanzhong received the letter from the messenger's hand, his face changed instantly, it was indeed good news, and it was too good news, before, Duan Dagongzi only went to the imperial capital to send a pigeon letter after receiving the battle report from Li Youwen to exterminate His Royal Highness Prince Hassan, and he never released this news to anyone after that.

And now, Duan Yuanzhong has been able to know that the 40,000 army of Prince Hassan has been wiped out, and the 50,000 army of Boltie has been wiped out, and now, only the 80,000 Qihu barbarians under Mo Li Khan, who are squatting under the walls of Yunzhou City, can still jump up and down in the land of Yunzhou.

Duan Yuanzhong finally suppressed the shock in his heart. Even if 60,000 soldiers and horses were transferred from the imperial capital, plus the 40,000 Zuo Yulin guards in Yunzhou, the total number was only 100,000.

And now they have eliminated a full 90,000 Qihu barbarians, and they are not satisfied, they still want to besiege the 80,000 Qihu barbarians of Moli Khan under the city of Yunzhou. In order to highlight the great military might of the Tang Dynasty.

And the letter naturally also mentioned that now only the enemy under the city of Yunzhou remains, so it is hoped that many prefectures and counties around Yunzhou will take the initiative to send troops, join Her Majesty's army, besiege Moli Khan under the city of Yunzhou, and strive to force the Khus to sign the alliance under the city.

After seeing the pigeon letter with the seal of Li Xuan, the king of Jin, Duan Yuan stroked his long beard and was silent for a long time, and after a long time, it seemed that he noticed that the messenger was still in front of him, so he smiled faintly. "In this case, my Shuozhou army will definitely obey, and I ask you to reply to Yunzhou quickly, and this official will personally lead 10,000 Shuozhou army elites to Yunzhou City in a few days."

After the messenger left happily, Duan Yuanzhong let out a long sigh helplessly, and then threw the pigeon letter on the desk, shaking his head in disbelief, how could he not imagine that woman would be so fierce, and it could even be said that it was beyond Duan Yuanzhong's imagination.

100,000 soldiers and horses wiped out nearly 90,000 horses of the other side, and their own casualties were less than 10,000.

Such a woman is really enough to shame the men of the world, but since Li Xuan, the king of Jin, has no idea of wanting to take the world, this makes Duan Yuanzhong a little lucky, at least, there is no need to be an enemy of such a woman, for the Duan family, it is not a good thing.

After correcting the official document in the fastest time, Duan Yuanzhong summoned many civil and military officers under his command, and after arranging the affairs, he personally went out and led the elite of the 10,000 Shuozhou army to start marching towards Yunzhou at noon on the same day.

On the same day, Liaozhou Jiedu made He Manning lead 8,000 Liaozhou cavalry, Yanzhou Jiedu made Zhang Lun lead 5,000 troops, Qizhou Assassin Shi led 3,000 cavalry, and Zhaozhou Assassin Shi Xi Kun led 2,000 cavalry all rushed in the direction where Yunzhou City was located.

After receiving the news that the states and counties had already sent troops, Duan Shaojun finally had a little more smile on his face, and Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head after seeing the news. "It seems that there are a lot of people who are willing to put the icing on the cake...... Tut-tut, now, we can gather nearly 30,000 cavalry, and when my eldest niece leads the army to the outside of Yunzhou City, at that time, it will be our troops that have an absolute advantage. ”

"At that time, the king will see how long those Qihu barbarians can stare...... It's best to go all out and leave these 80,000 Qi Hu barbarians under Yunzhou City, and at that time, who else in the world dares to despise my Datang and peep at my Datang thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? ”

was talking proudly, but he saw Duan Dagongzi tilting his head and looking at himself, that expression, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that it is not a taste, well, it is like enjoying a monkey show. "Brother Tai, why are you looking at my little brother so much, isn't that right, little brother?" Li Xuan touched his nose and asked Duan Shaojun curiously.

"Brother Xian, you are still too young...... Duan Shaojun raised his hand and gently patted the young man who had just been a father for a few days, looking like the old chief was examining the posture of the red imp who had made a mistake.

“…… Brother Tai, can you be serious, little brother, what's wrong with me being young, no matter how young I am, I am already a father. "Li Xuan is very weak and authentic." If you think that I am wrong, even if I bring it up, why do you always hit people so hard? Anyway, you're my daughter's godfather. ”

"Well, for your daughter's sake, I'm too lazy to embarrass you for a brother." Duan Shaojun said to Li Xuan with a serious look. "These Qihu barbarians under Yunzhou City can't let them return to the Qihu Prairie so peacefully, but they can't be killed either. The reason is very simple, because between my Tang Empire and Qihu, what is needed is not only war, but also huge benefits. ”

“？？？” Li Xuan looked at Duan Dagongzi with a bewildered expression, and lay down in a big groove in his heart. "Brother, do you think it's possible?"

"Why is it impossible, in this world, interests may not be omnipotent, but no interests are absolutely impossible. Do you think that those important ministers of the imperial capital sent these tens of thousands of sixteen guards to rescue Yunzhou, is it because of righteousness? ”

"This ......" Li Xuan wanted to nod, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem appropriate, at least Li Xuan couldn't convince himself that those guys in the imperial capital sent reinforcements over just for the national righteousness of the Tang Empire.

In this way, it is just used to fool the common people, although His Royal Highness Li Xuan, the prince, is not very involved in political affairs, but he is also an understanding person.
