Chai Shao slowly pants, tears streaming down her face, and tells the story intermittently. Even Tang gaozu is a wily thief. This little temple is too cruel to be castrated, especially for Chai Shao, a family brother.
Tang gaozu’s face is very ugly. From Chai Shao’s mouth, he also learned a news that the war in Lingxian County should have subsided, otherwise Yang You Law will deploy an army, which also means that Sui Jun’s main force will soon move eastward and both sides will face a big war.
Li Yuan did not dare to hold out too much hope for the future odds at this time. It was not that he didn’t want to win, but that he didn’t want a blind optimism to occupy his mind, which led to misjudgment. He had planned to paralyze Shi Biao along the way to prevent the Wagang army from moving westward to Daxing, and he also used other means to be gentle and stern, so that the thieves could work by being careful.
In the face of his son-in-law’s castration, Li Yuan had a kind word to comfort him and sent him away. Chai Shao Li Yuan frowned and suddenly found that the situation in China was far less optimistic than he had imagined. All this change was due to the seventeen-year-old boy’s so vicious means at his young age.
And in the end, he threatened himself with Chai Shao’s mouth. This tone must be recovered. Li Yuan paced in the room. Then he remembered the last words of the Chai Shao dialect. Is this another threat? Does he really care about his wife’s life?
Tang gaozu is not soft-blooded. He naturally won’t become angry from embarrassment because of a sentence or two. At this time, he is considering the pros and cons. At this time, someone knocks at the door outside, "Tang Gongpei asks for a long official."
"Invite him in!" Tang gaozu felt that he could rely on this person at this moment.
However, Tang gaozu didn’t expect Pei Ji to bring a news that made Tang gaozu difficult.
"Hey, hey, this little hall is very cunning!" Tang gaozu concluded after reading the letter.
Tang gaozu confidant Pei Ji naturally read the letter. He frowned and said, "Tang Gong Sheng Yanshi must never hand it over."
Tang gaozu patted his forehead and looked very upset. He naturally felt lonely. It means that Master Sheng Yanshi took Feng Yi County’s hero this time. How can he easily hand it over? In other words, even if Master Sheng Yanshi is not a hero, Li Yuan gave Master Sheng Yanshi to Yang You, which made those who gave up Da Sui and turned to him. Others such as Xiao Zao and Sun Hua will have a sense of fear. When will Li Yuan hand us over?
Even if I can get my daughter back, that won’t do!
Tang gaozu is a great man. He naturally understands that this kind of thing should never be done. But Li Xiuwen is his daughter. How can he bear to watch her suffer?
Tuo
Sui Jun camp has tied up the county seat, and twenty miles away, it is Sun Hua camp. After one night, neither army said anything, and it was very quiet.
At noon the next day, Yang You had received news from Huayin County that the Dugu Martial Arts Division had successfully captured Liu Wenjing and Li Xiaochang, and after some searching, he found evidence of treason from Li Xiaochang’s house.
Yang You sneered at the fact that he had caught Liu Wenjing this time. You know, this person is the three capable heroes of the Tang gaozu uprising. It is more valuable to catch this person than to catch Li Xiaochang. He asked Du Guwu to escort this person to Zhai.
After explaining something, Yang You and Du Ruhui walked out of the tent and said something while patrolling.
Yang You asked, "Mr. Du, do you think Li Yuan will change people?"
Du Ruhui shook his head. He denied that Tang gaozu was an idiot. He said what he thought. Yang You also agreed with the reality in his heart. Yang You wanted to disturb Tang gaozu’s mind and make him confused, thus causing decision-making mistakes.
However, at noon, Yang You received a message from Tang gaozu’s trotters, and he agreed to exchange Sheng Yanshi for Li Xiuwen, which made Yang You wonder. He arranged for an emissary to return to the tent himself and then brought Duan Lun.
The letter was thrown at Duan Lun, and it was cold in my heart at a glance. In the letter, Li Yuangen didn’t think that Duan Lun was out, but Sheng Yanshi switched back to Li Xiuwen. At the same time, this matter can’t let others know that hey hey is not one of the family. Yuezhang doesn’t care if you live or die, Duan Lun thinks so.
Duan Lun didn’t know that Yang You didn’t know that Duan Lun had been kept in the dark in the letter he sent. Duan Lun was particularly angry because Yang You threatened his heart and had an idea. At this time, his heart was lit.
"If there is a sin in the temple, I will not hesitate!" Duan Lun said
Yang You smiled. At this time, he needed a time bomb, and Duan Lun was to let the soldiers take Duan Lun away. Yang You personally wrote a letter of confidence, and the place was waiting for Tang gaozu to exchange.
"Do you really want to exchange the temple with Tang gaozu?" Du Ruhui asked.
Yang You finished writing at this moment. Xiao Gui put away his writing brush, packed up his things, and blew Yang You a faint smile with a letter. "Why not?"
When Yang You Li Yuanxin exchanged Li Xiuwen with Sheng Yanshi, Si Zhuyuan Li Xiuning learned through investigation that the Sui army had retreated because Li Yuanxin had entered and took several county soldiers in Feng Yi County to Jingzhao.
The news was a shot in the arm for Li Xiuning, who was in a trough. She immediately called Li Zhongwen and Shi Wanbao to discuss whether to go to Fengyi County. Considering Yangmei’s injury was not good, Li Xiuning finally decided to leave Li Zhongwen and several female soldiers to take care of Yangmei while she took two or three female soldiers to Fengyi County.
At this time, Li Hongzhi and Tang Bi, who were located in Qiyuan County, Fufeng County, were lost in thinking. Almost at the same time, two groups of guests came to Li Hongzhi’s camp, one from the messenger of the Sui Dynasty and the other from Xue Ju, the Qin Emperor who dominated west Gansu.
The purpose of both sides is very simple: Li Hongzhi, Tang Bi, Li Hongzhi and Tang Bi are villagers in a village. They have a lot of money in their homes, and they have set up a team to protect themselves. This folk custom near Longxi has no certain strength and is easy to be eaten without even bone residue.
Because the two men were supported by the people with one heart and one mind, the nearby villagers took refuge in the strength and soon the strength reached more than 30 thousand in just one year. Some robbers dared not hit the two men and paid attention to them, but instead pleased them from time to time.
They don’t have much ambition to live until the villagers can eat and wear warm clothes, which is their greatest requirement.
In the face of the surrender of the Western Qin Dynasty in the Great Sui Dynasty, Li Hongzhi believed that the Great Sui Dynasty had already set in the Western Hills. Although the war in Mangxian County was over, Li Yuan, a nobleman in Gansu Province, had enough talents. In the end, it is not necessarily necessary to wait and see.
Tang Bi gave a different opinion. He thought Xue Ju had already taken Xiao. If you want to attack the source, it’s less than half a day’s journey. Although there are many elite thirty thousand soldiers in Longxi cavalry, I’m afraid they can’t stop it.
At first, Li Hongzhi and Tang Bi wanted to take refuge in Xue Ju, but Tang Bi shook his head and said that he didn’t like Xue Ju. The reason was that although Xue Ju was powerful, all kinds of forces had original court officials, thieves and even vendors, and there would be many contradictions in such a Xue Ju group.
In particular, his eldest son, Xue Renguo, is cruel and Tang Bi doesn’t think highly of it. He thinks it is wiser to choose Da Sui in this situation.
However, Li Hongzhi also expressed his view that Tang gaozu has started his army. I am afraid that Daxing City will be besieged by Xue Ju and Tang gaozu in the near future. How long can this situation last?
Li Hongzhi has no bottom, Tang Bi has no bottom, and which team is Xue Ju, Da Sui or Li Yuan at this time? Will decide their fate and have to be carefully considered. However, at this time, they don’t know what will wait for them.
Chapter ninety-six Exchange
As night falls, Sui Jun camp is busy, and Yang You is ready to exchange hostages. After an afternoon of running around, the two sides finally agree to choose a place in Fengyi County, Yun County, called Tianjiazhuang Plain.
It was the day when the two sides agreed to take 50 people to Tang gaozu’s meeting. Yang You agreed on the surface, but he guessed that Tang gaozu would have something to do. He sent someone to inquire about Tianjiazhuang’s situation before.
Tianjiazhuang is ten miles from the north bank of Weihe River. It is almost extremely difficult to ambush or play with him. Both sides will choose this place, but overnight, both sides will make preparations before the law.
The next morning, fifty cavalry led by Li Jing marched toward Tianjiazhuang with Li Xiuwen, and Li Xiuwen was long-haired and gaunt. At this time, she already knew the purpose of her trip. In addition to fear and regret, she also had a slight fear in her heart.
Although she bowed her head, she saw a familiar face among many cavalry. This young face made Li Xiuwen feel breathless. He was most afraid of seeing this man, but she didn’t expect to see him. What’s the secret that he followed?
Li Xiuwen was puzzled when she suddenly remembered what he had given herself last night, which made her wonder even more.
At this time, Yang You dressed as an ordinary soldier and painted his face with black mud. No one could see him. Only he knew what the real purpose of this business was.
Every cavalry is equipped with a spear, a horizontal knife, a bow and a pot of arrows. At this time, Yang You has been able to pull two hard bows, thanks to his continuous exercise, which has greatly improved the strength and sight.
Yang You dressed up as Li Jing Qinbing, the two men got very close to discuss something, while another old and weak horse was sitting in Li Xiuwen, with her hands tied behind her back and a soldier holding the reins slowly for her.
Although there are 50 people on both sides, there are still many scouts who scout to prevent the other side from cheating and get ambushed, but the news of coming back all the way is normal. Tang gaozu sent Pei Ji and samurai wok to escort Sheng Yanshi to exchange Li Xiuwen.
Excavate and his party arrived at Tianjiazhuang one step earlier, and they boarded a high hill and waited for Pei Ji to arrive.
At this time, Li Yuan was walking around uneasily in the big account. He agreed to change people because of other plans. Although his daughter is important, the great cause cannot be abandoned. Li Yuan had a steelyard in his heart. After careful consideration, he decided to cheat.
Of course, it is impossible to take Li Xiuwen back by force. The plan of Li Yuan is to send a dead man to pretend to be a Sheng Yanshi. After searching, Li Yuan finally said a person. To be on the safe side, Li Yuan also ordered that this person’s tongue be cut off so that he could speak legally and Sui Jun could see through it for a while. At that time, Li Yuan would be satisfied if his daughter had been changed back.
However, the son-in-law returned their hands, but there was nothing that Li Yuan could do. What should he do when he knew that Yang You would firmly shake hands with one of the weights against him? Li Yuanfa expected that he could go one step at a time.
