Ji Tang

Chapter 776: What happened to Mr. Hou?
In addition to Ji Song's army, there are also Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Li Daozong, Ashina Simo, Qibi Heli and others as generals. They sent a few people to organize the troops and horses and train the soldiers, just waiting for the food and grass to be ready. , set out for Liaodong to conquer Buchen.

As soon as Ji Song walked out of the Jingji area, he was blocked by a group of people holding weapons.

"Master Marquis, I am here to serve in the army, please take him under your wing!"

The visitor directly stated his intention. After seeing the visitor clearly, he said helplessly: "Why are you here?"

But who is it?

It turned out that Liu Laoer, a fool, was leading a group of Ji clan members and descendants from other branches, and he acted like this. Even if he was stupid, he knew what they were going to do.

"Hey, Lord Marquis, how can you go to war without me, Liu Laoer? I've been fading away at home these days. If I don't do some exercise, I'll have to die!"

"I don't care anyway, I'll make the decision this time."

"Please also ask the Marquis to take us with you!"

Hundreds of people behind him shouted loudly, which made Ji Song frown.

"Master Marquis, do you see it?"

The deputy general of the army, Su Lie, spoke up.

Su Lie stayed in the army after the battle in Mobei. He had been granted the title of Wuyang Bo by the imperial court a few years ago. He specially requested this expedition.

"What else can we do? Even though they are here, can I still drive them back?" He said angrily.

Then he looked at the crowd, and there were many familiar faces inside, all of whom were descendants of the Ji family or other clan members.

"Come on!"

"Master Hou!"

"Go and put armor and weapons on them, no special care is required!"

"promise!"

Jia Da Ma came to the front and said solemnly: "There are no fathers and sons in the army. Since you are here, you should abide by the rules of the army. If you commit a crime in the hands of me, you will be punished double!"

"Did you hear me!"

Everyone was shocked and said quickly: "Yes, Lord Marquis!"

"Call the chief steward!"

Ji Song said angrily.

"As you command, Chief Steward!"

Ji Song nodded with satisfaction and shouted: "Return to the team and set off immediately!"

After saying that, he stopped talking to them. He knew very well that these children of the Ji family had practiced martial arts since childhood and were quite capable. If he didn't accept them, they could go to Liaodong on their own.

It is better to rest assured that they are under his own hands. They are all young and energetic young people. They have been influenced by him since they were young and have long wanted to go to the battlefield. However, there is no war around the Tang Dynasty, so their martial arts skills are useless.

This time, the opportunity finally came, and the head of the family personally led an army, so he couldn't miss it.

They grew up listening to the stories of their family patriarchs, worshiped them since childhood, and were proud of going to the battlefield.Everyone in the family said that if they dare to disgrace the patriarch this time, they will be beaten to death when they come back.

"Master Hou, hehe!"

Liu Laoer stepped forward and pushed aside the newly appointed Da Niu, who had only been in office for two days, and came to his side.

Newton was angry when he was young and wanted to teach this bastard a lesson, but thinking that this was the military, he could only hold back his anger for the time being.

"What's the matter with you old boy? Why did you bring these dolls? If they have any shortcomings, let's see how I deal with you."

Ji Song glared at this guy fiercely. If he hadn't been the commander of the First Army now, he would have beaten this bastard no matter what.

We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Is this a sign of improvement?How dare you slow yourself down?Liu Laoer looked bitter and said helplessly: "How can you blame me? It's not like you don't know that these bastards are all lawless masters. It's not so much that I brought them here, it's better to say that they are the ones who brought them here." He came with me tied up."

Thinking of this, he felt depressed. Originally, he was planning to do this secretly, but who would have thought that these bastards would join forces and wait at the door of his house in the middle of the night.

Saying that they can't go, you can't even think about going out.

If it had been anyone else, he would have gone up to it, but who are these bastards?

He was brought up with medicine at home from a young age, and his martial arts skills are worthy of standing against an army squadron.One or two would be okay, but if a hundred or so of them start fighting, will he still be alive?
Listening to Liu Laoer's words, Su Lie felt envious.Although his ancestors were also from a family of officials, their family was not wealthy. It would be good if they could support a few good young people from the clan.

Who is like Ji?The consumption of hundreds of people would probably make even a wealthy family feel distressed!

"Okay, you're the only one who talks a lot." Ji Song was also helpless. He had originally set a family motto for the children of the clan to learn literature and martial arts, and he had spared no effort to support their martial arts practice over the years.

But you didn't expect it to turn out like this?No one is restless, how can this happen?

No, after coming back this time, we will start to separate the family.

Not only will the main line of the Ji family be divided in the future, but so will the side lines.If they all get together, something will happen.

As the saying goes, when you hold a sharp knife, you will have a murderous intention.Each one of them is very capable, and if they get together they will definitely do no good and may even arouse suspicion.

It's okay that he is alive, but if he is gone, it will be hard to say who will succeed him as emperor.

After everyone returned to the team, the army continued to move forward.

After passing Luoyang, they refused to enter the city and continued to move forward after spending the night repairing.

This trip was all cavalry, so the speed was very fast. Even with a lot of baggage, they could march hundreds of miles in one day.

Along the way, I didn't go to the city, I didn't go to the banquets, I didn't see the people visiting, and more than ten days passed quickly.
Dengzhou, Donglai.

Liu Zhan and Yao Chang rarely get together.

Although one of them is in Dengzhou Port and the other is in Donglai City, the state capital.But we are busy with work on weekdays, and if there is nothing important, we really don’t spend much time together.

"The latest news is that the Marquis is in a hurry this time and has already passed Mount Tai. If nothing happens, we can reach Dengzhou in five days at most. We must be prepared!"

Liu Zhan was very excited. Lord Hou finally came out of the mountain this time.They thought they would be able to stand up after the last incident in Xuanzhou, but no one expected that the Marquis would continue to remain silent.

And I heard that the trouble with His Majesty was very unpleasant, and it almost scared them to death.Later they finally found out it was a false alarm, but it made them extremely uncomfortable!

In recent years, with the rise of the academy faction and Xuanzhou officials in Lianggang, they have seriously challenged the interests of established aristocratic families and military nobles.

If His Majesty hadn't supported them now, he might have started suppressing them at some point.

But even so, they are still struggling.

They have been in Dengzhou for almost ten years. This year, Liu Zhan is [-]% and Yao Chang is [-]%. If he can't enter the core of the Tang Dynasty, his life will be over.

"Don't worry, I've already explained this matter. If anyone dares to harm the Marquis at this time, I will skin him!"

Yao Chang changed his good-guy ways. This time it was not only about the success of the Marquis's expedition to Goguryeo, but also about their interests.

Anyone who slips up at this time will be his mortal enemy!

"The day before yesterday, a fleet came to Mingzhou that was larger than the fleet that went out to sea. The ships were bigger, faster, and carried more people. The leader was a eunuch."

"Tell me, did the Marquis' shipbuilding incident in Nanyang happen?"

Yao Chang also murmured in his heart, but since the Marquis did not explain it, it meant that the matter was not serious and was still under control.

"Forget it, you and I shouldn't scare ourselves. Everything will be known when the Marquis comes."
