The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 446 The Danger of Jili City
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xian has occupied Anshi Prefecture, and now he has dispatched troops to Jili City. In two days, he will arrive outside the gate of the East City." Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin with a smile on his face.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Yu Chigong on the side actually yelled and said, "You're not kidding, are you? How did that kid take down Anshi Prefecture so quickly? Can Anshi be the leader of Anshizhou? Can't he be a rich man?"

"I said Yu Chigong, why don't you say that His Royal Highness is a man of great skill in managing the army?" Xu Maogong said after shaking his head helplessly.

Li Shimin also looked helpless, after all, he knew Yuchi Gong too well.

It was the first time in Yu Chigong's life that he was in command, and he wholeheartedly wanted to make contributions and win a few beautiful battles.

It's not that Yu Chigong is obsessed with interests and wants to make meritorious service, so that he can become a marquis and a prime minister in the future and become famous.After all, Yu Chigong is already an extremely human minister now.

He has only one purpose in doing this, and that is to prove to Li Chengqian that he is no worse than Qin Qiong.

The reason is because of Li Chengqian's Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he and Qin Qiong were tied for No. 13 heroes.It's a pity that Qin Qiong is in the upper half, but Yu Chigong is in the lower half.

For this matter, Yu Chigong once asked Li Chengqian for trouble.In the end, he even asked to compete with Qin Qiong on the spot.

In the end, under the witness of Li Shimin, the two really had a contest in the Tai Chi Hall.The way to compete is to hold a tripod in the Tai Chi Hall.

Yu Chigong reluctantly lifted the tripod up, but he couldn't move half a step.He could only stand on the spot for a while, and then put the cauldron on the ground.

And Qin Qiong actually raised the big tripod and circled around Yu Chigong three times.Finally, the cauldron was returned to its original place.

Li Chengqian was also sweating at that time.I regretted that I shouldn't have written this plot, which caused the two old generals to have a childish temper.

After all, Li Chengqian remembered that the Qin Qiong in history vomited blood and died precisely because he lifted a tripod.But in the end, Li Chengqian finally let go of his hanging heart.

Because not only did Qin Qiong not vomit blood, but he didn't even have a slight problem.

And the credit for all this is Li Chengqian, who ordered Jiang Qi to give Qin Qiong and other veterans regular physical examinations in advance.And healed all the dark wounds they had accumulated over the years.

Although Yuchi Gong lost to Qin Qiong.But Yuchi Gong was never convinced, so he prepared to use this opportunity to win the round.

But since the troops were dispatched, whether it was fighting against Heifengkou or burning Hezui Rock.The government and even the current military difficulties in Jili City have nothing to do with him.

But no matter how you say he is also the Marshal of the Three Armies, even if he gets all the credit, he can still get it.But if Li Chengqian took down this Jili city first, then his own people would be in a big loss.

So Li Shimin said, "They are all half-buried. Why do you still have a heart of comparison like a child?"

Hearing Li Shimin explain his thoughts clearly, Yu Chigong also had a look of embarrassment.Finally, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, actually, I didn't think about it. I just want that kid to say that I, Yu Chigong, are no worse than Qin Qiong."

"The key is that you are really inferior to Second Brother Qin, and your son Yuchi Baolin's two brushes are not on the same level as Qin Huaidao." Xu Maogong on the side gave a divine assist.

This made Yuchi Gong furious, and said directly: "My son is not as good as Qin Huaidao, but at least he is better than Cheng Yaojin's two sons."

As soon as Yu Chigong said these words, even Li Shimin couldn't hide his laughter.After all, Yu Chigong really has nothing to do, he is actually compared with Cheng Yaojin.

……

At the same time, news was also received in the vanguard battalion.Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chumo hurriedly ordered Xue Rengui to be called over.

After Xue Rengui walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, he opened his mouth and said to Cheng Chuliang: "I wonder what the vanguard general will do in the future?"

"Brother Xue, Your Highness will arrive at Jili City in two days. By then, Jili City will be our dinner."

"That's why I called Brother Xue to make preparations in advance." Cheng Chuliang said.

"I didn't expect His Highness to be so fast, but Zhang Hanlin in Jili City should not be underestimated. He is a mighty under Gai Suwen." Xue Rengui nodded and said.

"Brother Xue, why is that so? No matter how powerful Zhang Hanlin is, he is only a scholar. How can he be the opponent of Brother Xue and His Highness?" Cheng Chumo said.

"His Highness once said that the most terrifying thing on the battlefield is not the generals with high martial arts skills. It's those who seem harmless."

"Because people like this often have something extraordinary. And this Hanlin is the kind of person His Highness said." Xue Rengui said.

Xue Rengui's words made Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang instantly put away their contempt.And asked: "Then I don't know what countermeasure Brother Xue has thought of?"

"This Hanlin is proficient in military formations, and the entire Jili City is a large formation. Even if we open the gates and let us enter the city smoothly, we may not be able to win the next Jili City." Xue Rengui said.

"No wonder Brother Xue actually built a high platform outside Jili City. So it was to observe the situation in Jili City." Du He asked Xue Rengui as if he had just woken up from a dream.

It turned out that it had been more than ten days since Xue Rengui arrived at Jili City.Every day, people will be sent to the city to fight against the enemy.However, the other party had put up the exemption card, and had never left the city to fight.

And what makes Xue Rengui feel strange is that some weird things will be transported out from Jili City from time to time.Now Jili City has been fully paved within a radius of two miles.

This reminded Xue Rengui of Li Chengqian's words, that is, when things go wrong, there must be demons.It is necessary to find out its true intentions before it can see the tricks.

So Xue Rengui built a high platform with a height of more than twenty feet in the second mile of Jili City.Xue Rengui will be on the high platform every day to record the changes that have taken place in Jili City.

"That's right, but until now I haven't figured out what kind of formation is in Jili City. Because every day I go to observe, all I find are different arrangements." Xue Rengui said after sighing.

"Brother Xue said so, it seems that Jili City is not so easy to take down." Du He said after sighing.

"However, after His Highness comes down, with His Highness's knowledge, you can definitely see the layout of Jili City. As long as we grasp the key points, then there is nothing to worry about in Jili City." Xue Rengui said .
