The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 758 740 Seven: Things are at stake!Li Jiancheng decided to lead the army

Duan Wuji and his three brothers returned to Xiaoyao Palace, that Tieniu and Chai Shao couldn't stop crying and sighing!

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, you are a fortune teller who didn't count this time, right!

Then His Majesty won't listen to you, you must have miscalculated this time! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Miscalculation, miscalculation! Anyway, I have nothing to lose. If our buddies don't send troops, I will be happy!
Brother Chai, let me tell you, who wants to lead troops to fight?

Although our buddies are good at martial arts, fighting is still dangerous after all.

How nice it is to stay at home and enjoy peace. "

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "You have no loss, and I have no loss.

To be honest, it was already in my plan to bring my wife and children to Beijing this time.

Her grandma has long wanted to see her grandson, and I have finally achieved this goal when I come to the capital this time. "

Tieniu also said: "The main purpose of my coming to Beijing this time is to avoid my wife.

She found me a second room, and she was satisfied with the one who looks like a blind man.

I avoided her this time, so as not to annoy her when she sees us.

It is called the calculation of the sky is not as good as the calculation of man!She counted and counted, hasn't she counted me? "

After that, the three of them stayed behind closed doors in the mansion for four or five days!

It was just after noon that day, and the three of them were drinking tea and chatting in the study!

The gatekeeper came in and reported, "Please inform the lord, Prince Li Jiancheng is asking to see you outside the gate."

Duan Wuji was taken aback for a moment, then ordered: "Since the prince is here, why don't you let him in quickly!"

Duan Wuji looked at Tie Niu and Chai Shao.

"Second brothers, let's go, follow me out to greet you!"

The three stood up and only walked towards the gate.

Before reaching the gate, Li Jiancheng walked in with a smile.

The three hurried forward to greet the prince.

"His Royal Highness, why do you have time to come to my small mansion today!

Your Royal Highness, please come inside! "

Li Jiancheng said with a smile on his face: "Three virtuous brothers, you have been back to Beijing for such a long time, I should come to visit you!

Due to my busy schedule, I can't find time to come here!

Isn't that right, I just found time to come here today!
Come on, let's talk in the house! "

After entering the study, after the four of them sat down, Duan Wuji ordered someone to offer fragrant tea, and the four of them chatted while drinking tea.

Li Jiancheng looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "My dear brother, how do you know that Luo Chengluo is bound to be defeated?
Can you tell me about it? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Then Luo Cheng is self-willed. He only knows himself, but he doesn't know anyone. If you say he is not defeated, who will be defeated?

If it is against ordinary people, he might still win!If we were to deal with Liu Heita from the Northern Han Dynasty, I don't think he could do that at all!

how?Could it be that good news came from the front line? "

"Brother, you really know how to joke! Wouldn't it be great if the good news came!
well!As expected!

As expected, Luo Guo was defeated, and now he is retreating on a small hill, probably in the area of ​​Yizhou! "

His soldiers broke through the enemy's heavy siege before sending the letter. My father was very worried when he saw this battle report.

Fortunately, my third brother led [-] elite soldiers and went out to meet the enemy two days ago. Who knows if he can win!

He went out this time, and he took out more than half of the famous generals in the court alone!

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I still don't know about my third brother!
If he fights a bandit or something, maybe he can lead the army and lead the team to win!

If it is against the Northern Han Dynasty, how can he do those two tricks!

Brother, just watch if you don't believe me, if he wants to win, it will be very difficult!I'm afraid it won't take ten or twenty days before you get news of him. "

Li Jiancheng was taken aback.

"Well, how should this be done?

Our well-behaved Tang Dynasty shouldn't be defeated by that nameless rat. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Brother, why is this difficult! Hurry up and summon my second brother, Shimin, back.

With him leading the army, there is still hope for destroying this concubine, but if someone else leads the army, they may not be the opponent of Liu Heiting. "

Li Jiancheng looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Brother, since that Liu Heita is so powerful, if you lead the army, can you defeat him?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this.

"I'm no longer in the scope of that consideration, I've seen this matter for a long time.

I don't know why, the emperor didn't plan to use us, do you think we still have the plan to send troops?
It's better not to let us send troops, and the few of us are happy to be at leisure.

When our Great Tang Dynasty is at stake, it won't be too late for our brothers to send troops again! "

As soon as Li Jianmin heard it, he understood the meaning of that paragraph of Wuji.

He is not stupid, can he not understand!

Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly.

"Wuji! Don't get me wrong! My father didn't mean that.

I don't want to transfer my second brother back, that's what I mean.

My second brother is now commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, more than half of the country's soldiers and horses are under his command.

He is very good at leading troops, I know this too!If I let him win the battle again this time, I'm afraid it will be a big disadvantage to me.

You and I have known each other for such a long time, so I told you the truth. "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Brother, you are so calculating! But, if you are all defeated, won't it be even more disadvantageous to you if you ask my second brother at that time?
Brother, haven't you thought about this? "

"Hey! Who said no? If you really want to say what you guys said, I will be even more passive.

Shimin is now commanding troops outside, he is really holding a heavy army now!

To say something that shouldn't be said, he has great power now!

When the emperor is gone, he may not take my brother seriously. "

After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng couldn't help shaking his head and sighing!

Duan Wuji sat there without saying a word, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Duan Wuji didn't care about these things!
These things have nothing to do with him.

He doesn't want to go into this muddy water, what does he care about the internal affairs of the family!

Tieniu blinked and listened beside him, but he didn't say a word!

When Li Jiancheng saw Duan Wuji and the others like this, he really couldn't guess what these two people were thinking!

Li Jiancheng pushed Duan Wuji with his hands and said, "Hey, brother, didn't you rest well last night?"

Duan Wuji opened his eyes, and said to Li Jiancheng with a smile: "You are talking to Brother Chai, what do you think I should interrupt!"

"Brother, I know you are very talented, brother, you can give me an idea.

Look at my brother, what should I do? "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Isn't this difficult to handle?
Big brother, why don't you lead the army this time, you command an army of tens of thousands and show your prestige in this military operation, won't it be over?
Why be trapped in this Chang'an city?When you become famous in one battle, who would dare to underestimate you when you say that? "

"I said brother, it's not that I don't want to go to war, to be honest, my ability is really limited!

If my third brother can't fight, how can I win the battle?
Once the battle is defeated, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Brother, if you have some of our brothers helping you, what do you think you are afraid of?

My brother Chai and I will be your deputy, and our contribution may not be less than that of my second brother and the others. "

Li Jiancheng laughed out loud.

"Brother, what I want this time is your words.

With you and Chai Shao as my assistants, I will have complete confidence in my heart.

Well then, let's give him a big fight.

Brother, do you think it is better for us to send troops first, or let my second brother send troops first. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Is there any need to ask? Naturally, it is more beneficial for us to let my second brother send troops first.

You think of a way to let him personally lead the army to send troops from Handan Mansion, and some of us lead the army from Datong Mansion to the east, and we will attack them from both sides, making them difficult to care about.

Look how good it is! "

"Then when do you think we should send troops?"

"Soldiers are expensive, the faster the better!

The longer it takes, the less good it will be for us!

Brother, do you think this is the case? "

"En! That's right! Then I went back and quickly sent a summons to my second brother, ordering him to lead the army to march northward quickly. The summons told him that Qi Wang Yuanji had already led an army of [-] to meet the enemy.

Afterwards, I will summon tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then let's send troops too! "

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Jiancheng went back to the palace contentedly.

After seeing off Li Jiancheng, the three brothers turned around and came back.

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and his brothers and said with a smile: "My elder brother is good at everything! It's just that he is too indecisive in doing things, which is his fatal flaw.

If he was half as decisive as my second brother in doing things, he would have been stronger by now.

well!If he is not decisive, he will be very disadvantaged in the future! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, that is an internal matter of their family, what does it have to do with us!

As outsiders, you and I should stay out of their affairs. "

"Well, what you said makes sense.

Let's not talk about anything else. Right now, we are going to destroy the Northern Han Kingdom quickly so that our country can enjoy long-term peace and stability!

Brother, do we have the certainty of victory when we send troops this time? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "We have never fought against the Northern Han Kingdom, who dares to say that we will definitely win?
Let's take it slow first!

Let me tell you, if you and I go to war with our abilities, even if we can't win a big victory, there is no problem with a small victory!
Let's work together and use the guys in our hands to create a peaceful world for our Tang Dynasty!
Brothers, are you wearing all your snakeskin armor? "

Both of them nodded their heads!

Chai Shao said with a smile: "That thing is a life-saving thing. We both know that this time the troops will be dispatched, so why don't we bring that thing with us!"

"Well! Just take it with you!

Then let's prepare to go out for a while! "

After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to practice.

The next morning, shortly after the three of them had breakfast, the messenger came in.

"The emperor has a decree to announce that Duan Wuji, prince of Xiaoyao, and his son-in-law Chai Shao and Duan Tieniu will enter the palace to discuss matters.

The three of you follow me into the palace now! "

The three ordered their horses to be brought out, got on the horses, and followed the messenger to the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, several people got off their horses, and several guards ran over and took away their horses.

The three of them followed the official to the Suzaku Palace in the palace.

After entering Zhuque Palace, I saw that Li Yuan and his son were all there!

Two people sitting at the table are talking about something in a low voice!

The three of them walked a few steps, knelt down and greeted the emperor and the prince!

Li Yuan quickly waved his hand when he saw it.

"Wuji, Shaoer, you three, get up quickly!"

Li Yuan said to the maids next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and show the three of them a seat?"

After hearing this, the court ladies immediately moved three seats to the three of them. After the three of them sat down, they waited for Li Yuan and his son to speak.

Li Yuan glanced at the three people and said with a smile: "A few days ago, you made that suggestion to me, let Shimin send troops to Hebei, I always think that there is no need to do that.

However, now it seems that things are really not very optimistic!

Late last night, I received the battle report again. Xiongzhou has already fallen, and Beiping Mansion has fallen into the enemy's hands again. If this continues, what will happen!
Once Lao Liu wins half of Li Yuan's power, then I will really be restless.

Late last night, I issued a call overnight, ordering the people of the world to return to the army quickly, go to the battlefield as soon as possible, and recover the lost land as soon as possible!

Promise!How long do you think it will take for my two sons to defeat the Northern Han Kingdom if they fight abroad again? "

"Well! If the two of them lead the army, they will definitely win within three to five years!"

"My God! It takes so long!

Since Li Jiancheng came back from your mansion yesterday, he must lead the army to conquer himself!

I don't know what evil he has.

It is rare for the prince to conquest himself!

Besides, he needs to take care of many things in this court!
If he leaves, the burden of the court will all fall on my head.

well!To be honest, I'm not used to it now.

Since it is like what you said, let him lead the army and lead the team.

After all, this rescue is like putting out a fire. If we act late, it may be even more detrimental to us!
Built!When you come down, you can discuss the strategy of dispatching troops with Wuji and the others!
This time you are the coach, let Wuji and Chai Shao be your assistants!

If you have these two as your deputy, I believe you will not be able to win this battle!

Where are the soldiers and horses in the net adjustment, you can discuss it in detail! "

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly.

"Wuji! Chai Shao, from now on, our team will be formally established, let's go! Follow me to the East Palace to discuss how to form an army to go out!"
