Man Tanghong

However, Hou Junji's abilities come only from strength to strength, so he can't ignore the matter of privately rushing from Yunyang to Anding.

In a small way, this is acting without permission, and in a big way, it is disobedience.

After all, the order Li Yuanji gave him was to stick to Yunmeng Mountain in Yunyang and set up an ambush on Yunmeng Mountain to ambush the Turks.

But he advanced hundreds of miles in one breath, directly crossed the boundary between Binzhou and Ningzhou, and appeared in Qingzhou.

In other words, he didn't cause any major disasters, and he made a lot of contributions.

Otherwise, his head has moved by now.

Although those in power like capable people, they definitely don't like those who like to make claims and act privately.

Making claims and acting privately will often destroy the plans and layout of those in power.

This kind of thing may gain temporary benefits, but it is more likely to lead to a full-fledged ending.

Therefore, those in power do not have a high tolerance for such things. Even if a person is very capable, as long as he is not controlled and does not obey orders, the people in power will not use it.

The goal is clear, and to put it bluntly, I just want to make meritorious service, and I want to win the title.

It's just that Pei Ji is more measured than Qi Cheng Yaojin and Yu Wen Baolai.

That night Li Shimin asked Hou Junji to lead [-] elite soldiers to bypass the white horse and go straight to Huachi, and ordered Hou Junji to take Huachi within five days.

This is definitely a good thing for him.

After Li Yuanji nodded and affirmed what Hou Junji had done in Anding, he changed the subject and said, "However, I remember that I ordered you to station at Yunmeng Mountain in Yunyang and wait for the opportunity to set up an ambush to ambush the Turkic people. Why did you show up?" Stable?"

He will not make excessive demands on Li Yuan, nor will he make demands on Li Yuan when Li Yuan is unhappy.

Since Hou Junji said it, it meant that he was ready to be despised and despised by others.

Hou Junji also laughed, "Your Highness, I understand what you mean, it is to let you use your brains more, and make more use of my Tang's strengths, and not be reckless."

Hou Junji was still very moved and said: "I will definitely pass on His Highness's words to the soldiers, so that the soldiers will work harder for His Highness."

If Li Yuanji wanted to care about leading troops northward without permission, that would be a serious crime.

However, Li Yuanji did not explain either.

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "As for the people who followed you, I will not erase their contributions, after all, they also risked their lives to keep the stability and wiped out the Turkic people south of Maling.

"Then I'll send someone to take you there."

One is Cheng Yaojin, he has always shown others that he is not stingy, so he has no morals and conduct to speak of. He said carelessly that he wanted to make meritorious service and be conferred a high title, but no one would say anything about him.

However, Hou Junji seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that he wanted him to make a break with Li Shimin.

This is considered cruel.

Speak out the most sincere thoughts in my heart.

Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction.

Hou Junji opened his mouth, feeling a little rejoiced for a moment.

Li Yuanji nodded and smiled: "Of course, there is no need to deliberately pursue this. If we have an advantage in military strength, we can use a large number of troops to suppress the Turkic people."

Li Yuanji treated the soldiers as human beings and treated them favorably. The soldiers worked hard for Li Yuanji, and it was not a loss.

He already has courage and strategy, so he doesn't need to be reminded, he will do the same.

Li Yuanji spoke again.

Hou Junji immediately became happy, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

The other one is Pei Ji. Whatever he wants, he will go to please Li Yuan, and then tell Li Yuan directly, he will give what Li Yuan can give, and pretend not to hear what he can't give, or talk about him from left to right.

When Hou Junji heard this, he stared in disbelief.

Don't you want credit, don't you want to be named a nobleman.

The smile on Hou Junji's face became brighter.

Li Yuanji not only didn't care about it, but let him take his credit for the crime, and was going to take him to a bigger battlefield to get a bigger credit, how could he be unhappy.

Li Yuanji laughed, "If you work harder, you don't need it. If you can use your wisdom and kill a lot of Turkic people with a very small force, then I will be happy."

In the future, I will take you to Huai'an and let you have a good fight with the Turks in Huai'an.

If I erase them all, then they will not rest in peace when they are under the Nine Springs. "

If this kind of thing is said in front of other people, it will definitely be despised by others, and it will also be despised by others.

However, Li Yuanji didn't actually mean that. Li Yuanji simply wanted Hou Junji to have a relationship with Li Shimin so that Li Shimin wouldn't cheat him on the battlefield.

Hou Junji probably felt that it was time to break up with Li Shimin.

In this era of emphasizing morality and personal conduct, many more pragmatic people dare not speak their minds, because if they speak out, they will be looked down upon and despised by others.

Three days later.

However, it is still good to talk about it, at least it can narrow the distance with him.

Li Yuanji smiled, and ordered people to take Hou Junji to the backyard of the county government where Li Shimin was.

Hou Junji understood that Li Yuanji was asking him to use his wisdom more and be less reckless, instead of telling him to give up his bravery, so he nodded seriously and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely use my brains more and try to use the least force to kill even more Many Turks."

Hou Junji's whole body froze, and he bent down deeply with emotion and said: "On behalf of those soldiers who died in battle, I would like to thank Your Highness for your great love, and thank you for your gift."

Some of them may only get such a military exploit once in their lifetime.

Hou Junji was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never embarrass Your Highness."

"Your credit for maintaining stability before, and your credit for calming down the Turkic people who invaded south of Maling along the way, will be forgiven for you.

Li Yuanji stared at Hou Junji closely and asked, "Is this the reason why you disobeyed my order?"

Later, it developed into a battle of wits.

At the same time, he added a sentence to the transfer order to Changsun Shunde and Yuwen Shiji, telling them to arrive at Maling within three days.

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "However, don't be too happy, my second brother wants to transfer Changsun Shunde and Yuwen Shiji to work with you, and I am also going to transfer Xie Shufang and Quan Xu to work with you.

If you can win with wisdom, you must win with wisdom.

War, a long time ago was a matter of fighting bravely.

If you play beautifully and brilliantly enough, I will also make you a Marquis, and you will also be a Marquis. "

Then I will give you.

When Hou Junji heard this, his complexion suddenly changed, and he hesitated and said vaguely: "After the Turks captured Huai'an, I found that there were almost no soldiers and horses in the south of Huai'an that could stop the Turks from going south. That's why I took the risk and led the army into Gyeongju."

Whether you can stand out among them depends on your ability. "

Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to kill more Turkic people and make more military exploits, so that I can ask His Highness for titles!"

"It doesn't have to be like this, this is what they deserve. After all, they gave their lives for my Great Tang. As the leader of Great Tang, I can't treat them harshly."

The smile on Hou Junji's face froze, and after hesitating for about three breaths, he said decisively: "Then I will go see you..."

Li Yuanji didn't despise Hou Junji, nor did he say that Hou Junji was too utilitarian, but nodded his head slightly appreciatively and said, "It's considered that you are sensible and didn't lie to me, otherwise I must make you look good."

In that case, even if your ability is outstanding, I will not use you. "

In the past, credits made due to Shangguan's mistakes were generally erased.

This alone is enough to show that in Li Yuanji's heart, the soldiers are no longer pawns that can be discarded at any time, but are living soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

For example, Hou Junji was so straightforward, saying directly that he was the one who wanted to make meritorious deeds, and there were only three or four people in the entire court of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Hou Junji went to Li Shimin to make a settlement, then he would never be able to pee in the same pot with Li Shimin again, and he could only follow him wholeheartedly.

This time Li Yuanji only erased his credit, but recorded the credit of the soldiers.

The remaining one is Hou Junji.

Because it doesn't cost much to win with wisdom, but many people will die if you win with bravery.

One is Yu Wenbao, he is a fool, he only cares about the attitude of his lord, if he wants to make meritorious deeds, he will say it directly, he doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.

After Hou Junji and Li Shimin negotiated, they didn't know what the two said, anyway, Li Shimin started to use Hou Junji as an animal messenger.

Li Yuanji asked Hou Junji with a smile.

Li Yuanji continued: "You don't have to be surprised. Compared with your utilitarianism, I care more about whether you will lie to me. If you lie to me, it means that you are not only utilitarian, but also dishonest.

Li Yuanji waved his hand and said calmly.

"I have temporarily appointed my second brother as the marching chief of this army, do you want to meet him?"

When the elder Sun Shunde, who was already old, and Yuwen Shi, who was born with a gloomy face, rushed to Maling, Hou Junji defeated Dieluozhi's chieftain Pu Luoshi in Huachi, beheaded 3000 people, and captured There were 100 people, and the battle report of rescuing more than 3 people was also sent to Maling.

Li Shimin used Hou Junji as an animal envoy, and Hou Junji also used the soldiers Li Shimin distributed to him as animal envoys.

From the day Maling left, Hou Junji ordered the [-] troops under his command to keep marching for eighty li every day, which lasted for two full days.

Arrived at Huachi in two days, and before Pu Luoluo, who was attacking Huachi, could react, he led the army to fight out head-on, and fought with Puluo outside Huachi City, defeating Puluo, And solved the siege of Huachi.

It is said that after the war, the soldiers were exhausted and paralyzed, and some were bleeding and lay on the battlefield unwilling to move.
