Chapter 243 Chapter 251: Hou Junji's Revenge
Lu Yun immediately returned to his room and wrote a letter, fully writing out the failure of assassinating Wu Meiniang, and asking for instructions on what to do next, whether to continue to assassinate Wu Meiniang.

Looking at the letter he wrote, Lu Yun tore it into pieces after pondering for a long time, and wrote a new one. After finishing writing, he stuffed it into the envelope, pressed it with beeswax, and stamped it with his private stamp, and walked out of the room.

Feiying was already waiting outside the door, Lu Yun came forward with a letter, hesitant to speak, Feiying asked doubtfully, "Mr. Lu, what else is there?"

Lu Yun frowned and said: "I thought about it again, this matter is extraordinary, you should go and see it off yourself."

Feiying was taken aback when he heard the words, and seeing his solemn expression, he nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will ask Mr. Lu to take care of the family affairs."

"Yes." Lu Yun handed the letter to him, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and be careful along the way."

Feiying took the letter with both hands and put it in his arms, patted his chest lightly, turned his head and walked out of the courtyard.

When Li Hao left Songzhou for Guizhou, Niu Jinda and Zhi Shili came to Hou Junji's room in Songzhou City Governor's Mansion, both of them looked unhappy.

Seeing the two of them coming, Hou Junji got up and said, "You two came just in time, I just wanted to discuss with you how to fight this battle."

"It's not urgent." Niu Jinda raised his hand to stop him, and asked coldly, "Why didn't Director Hou let Li Hao enter the city, but let him go to Guizhou to borrow food?"

Zhi Shili also said: "General Manager Hou, as far as I know, there are more than 2 stones of grain and grass in the city, and there is no shortage of food. Now that the war is imminent, the general manager has transferred Li Hao's [-] troops to borrow food. I don't know why. What's the trick?"

When Hou Junji heard the words, his face immediately darkened, he glanced at the two of them, and snorted angrily, "Are you blaming me!"

"Don't dare!" The two of them clasped their fists together. Although they said they didn't dare, their eyes were staring at Hou Junji, their attitude was very unfriendly. Both of them were generals with countless military exploits, and they didn't treat Hou Junji at all. fear.

Seeing that their faces were still full of dissatisfaction, Hou Junji immediately frowned. He also realized that it would be difficult to suppress them. After a moment of silence, he changed his face and said in a deep voice: " Two generals, you are all battle-tested people, and you must have heard a saying called "soldiers and horses before using food and grass". Now the weather is cold, and food and grass are the most important things. It has not snowed yet in winter. , Maybe when the heavy snow will arrive, it will be extremely difficult to transport food and grass by then, once the food and grass in the city are gone, there is no need for Tubo to attack by force, and they only need to siege the city for more than a month, and they will be able to trap us to death."

It has to be said that Hou Junji is still very quick-witted, this nonsense is so true, so righteous, although Niu Jinda and Zhishisili feel that there seems to be something wrong, they can't say it, after all They are just generals, not civil servants who show off their tongues.

After Niu Jinda and Zhishenli were finally sent away, Hou Junji heaved a sigh of relief, and just about to sit down, the supervisor Liu Lan rushed in hurriedly.

Hou Junji hurriedly got up and greeted each other with cups of hands: "Jian Liu, came to my commander suddenly, is there something wrong?"

Liu Lan used to be a minister, a foreign minister, a Sima of Xiazhou's governor's office, and a governor of Xiazhou. Now he is a general on the right, and he can be said to be a full-time civil and military officer. He is not as easy to deal with as Niu Jinda and Zhishisili. Hou Junji As soon as he finished asking, he asked with a straight face: "Chief Hou, my supervisor heard that you sent Li Hao's [-] Taohe army to go to Guizhou to borrow food. Is there such a thing?"

Hou Junji frowned when he heard the words, knowing that the visitor was not kind, he nodded coldly: "It is true, does Supervisor Liu have any questions?"

"Naturally, I have doubts." Liu Lan said expressionlessly, "You and I are both from the army, and everyone knows about military affairs. Now that the war is imminent, Chief Hou dispatched Li Hao's 2 troops. I don't know what his intention is? As far as I know, there are more than [-] stones of food and grass in the city, enough to last for a long time."

Hou Junji said calmly: "Now there are 5000 soldiers in Songzhou City. Our Tang army is braver and better than Tubo. Even if Tubo has 1 troops to attack, it will be difficult to do anything. Li Hao's [-] troops are not enough Not very important."

Liu Lan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Is this your excuse to send Li Hao away?"

"No, this commander didn't deliberately dismiss Li Hao." Hou Junji said solemnly, "Although we don't lack food and grass now, we should prepare more food and grass in such a cold winter to be safe. Supervisor Liu has also fought in wars. The people who live here must also know how important food and grass are.”

"Food and grass are naturally important." Liu Lan said coldly, "However, for the transportation of grain and grass, you only need to send troops to convey military orders, and you have a special person to escort them. Why use such a huge army? Is it the first time for Chief Hou to fight? ?”

Hou Junji was not angry because of his teasing, but replied calmly: "The matter of food and grass is very important, and no loss is allowed. If Tubo cannot attack the city and send troops to cut off our army's food and grass, what should we do?"

"Oh?" Liu Lan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "In this way, Chief Hou seems to have no confidence in my Datang's food and grass team!"

"You can say whatever you want." Hou Junji snorted coldly, "I fight wars with my own sense of propriety. Why does Supervisor Liu have to point fingers? Everything depends on the final result. What's the point of talking too much?"

"Okay! Chief Hou is so majestic!" Liu Lan sneered even more, "You'd better hope that you can fight a good battle, otherwise the army will report the truth to the emperor! Don't forget, you are now Wear the body of sin!"

"Jun Liu, go slowly! Don't see him off!" Hou Junji saw off the guests loudly, Liu Lan snorted forcefully and went out with his sleeves thrown.

Guizhou is in the northwest of Songzhou, more than 200 miles away from Songzhou, which is not too far away. Like Songzhou, Guizhou is also Jimi Prefecture, and it is also a prefecture. However, it is different from Songzhou. The governor of Guizhou is The party member is called Libu Dabi, and Li Shimin specially gave him the Chinese name, Kou Zhongtang, which means obviously, and hopes that he will be loyal to Datang.

Four days later, Li Hao led his troops to the outside of the city of Guizhou. Due to the invasion of Tubo, the city of Guizhou was also in turmoil. Seeing Li Hao's army approaching from a distance, he closed the gate of the city, and all the soldiers were on the city wall. Facing the enemy.

When Li Hao arrived at the city, he sent Jin Li to proclaim his identity and reason. Kou Zhongtang, governor of Guizhou, came to the city in person and replied to Li Hao, saying that Guizhou had no surplus food and asked him to borrow it elsewhere. Junji's warrant is not easy to use, and Kou Zhongtang is still saying that, no food.

Maybe Kuzhou really has no surplus food. After all, the Tubo army is erratic, and Guizhou is only more than 70 miles away from Gansongling, which is the main way for Tubo to enter the Tang Dynasty. One foot is the boundary of Guizhou. In order to prevent Tubo from invading, Kou Zhongtang naturally wants to store up more grain and grass, just in case, it is too late for him to collect grain everywhere, so how can he borrow grain from outside? Isn’t that lack of conscience? .

It was Li Hao who was careless. He was still a bit naive to this kind of conspiracy. In fact, Hou Junji had already guessed that it was impossible for Kou Zhongtang to borrow food, because what he borrowed was not food, but probably his life. It's useless to have a warrant from the head of the army, after all, Kou Zhongtang is not under his control.

In the city, Li Hao persuaded Kou Zhongtang to borrow food with reason and emotion, and Kou Zhongtang also told Li Hao with reason and emotion that he could not borrow food. If the reinforcements arrive, then Guizhou will be over.

Li Hao went back to the camp to reflect carefully, and then took out the map to look at it for a while. He finally realized that he had been tricked by Hou Junji. However, this was a very helpless thing. To control the power of the armies, the so-called military order is like a mountain. Since Hou Junji issued the military order, he must obey it, otherwise he will be labeled as a rebel, and there is no way to shake him off. Even Li Shimin can't keep him, so he knows this. It was a trap, and he still had to jump down.

Now, things have come to a dead end, I can't borrow food, and I can't go back to work, otherwise I will be labeled as incompetent, alas, the official rank crushes people to death.

Li Hao camped outside the city of Guizhou for a day, trying to figure out a good strategy. On this day, Feiying had already arrived in Songzhou with a letter.

Chang'an is more than 2000 miles away from Songzhou, and the road is rough. Flying Eagle ran all the way, killed eight horses in four days, and only slept for two hours, eating and drinking on horseback.

When they arrived at the foot of Songzhou City, Feiying shouted at the city gate, saying that Li Hao's family trilogy, the general manager of the Taohe Road Marching, had sent an urgent letter from his family, asking the Marquis of Li County to sign it.

However, the soldiers at the top of the city told Feiying that Li Hao was not in the city, and Feiying didn't believe it. Li Hao obviously came to Songzhou to fight, so how could he not be in the city?

A soldier reported the matter to the Governor's Mansion and told Hou Junji. After hearing this, Hou Junji frowned. He hated anyone or anything related to Li Hao, so he went up to the tower himself and took a look at the flying soldiers under the city. Eagle, I saw that although this person was dusty and exhausted, but his eyes were firm and sharp, unlike ordinary people, Hou Junji asked, "Is the people under the city really part of Li Hao's family?"

Feiying said loudly: "Indeed, the general, please open the city gate and let the villain go in to meet Marquis Li."

"Let you go into the city?" Hou Junji snorted coldly, "You say you are part of Li Hao's family, what proof do you have?"

Feiying shook his head: "There is no proof, just seeing the Marquis of Li County can prove the identity of the villain." In fact, he met Hou Junji when he was in Tingzhou, but Hou Junji might not remember him.

Hou Junji sneered and said, "It would be a pity if there is no certificate, Li Hao is not in the city."

Seeing that Hou Junji also said the same thing, Feiying guessed that Li Hao was indeed not in the city, so he asked, "Dare to ask General Hou, where is my master now?"

"Bold!" Hou Junji suddenly stared and yelled after hearing the words, "Where is the monster, dare to spy on the important military situation, it must be the secret work of the enemy army, come here, open the city gate, put the suspension bridge, and arrest this person!"

Feiying was startled when he heard the words, and quickly turned his horse's head to escape. Hou Junji shouted, "Shoot the horse!"

One of his personal guards held up a strong bow and shot an arrow straight through the belly of the horse. Flying Eagle's mount fell to the ground with a neigh and struggled on the ground, unable to stand up again. Hearing the rattling down of the suspension bridge at the rear, the rattling of the city gates, a group of elite cavalry rushed out, chasing him.

Feiying wanted to run away, but he was too tired, really tired. He had spent most of his energy traveling these days, and now he was exhausted. How could he compete with the horses? He touched the repeater box at his waist , looked around, rushed to a bush, then threw himself down, stuffed the crossbow box into the bush, then got up and continued to run. From the rear, it seemed that he just accidentally fell, no matter what How, the crossbow cannot be exposed.
