Will Ming

Chapter 450: The Benefits of Being a Prince

Li Huining did not expect that he would meet his father's old subordinates when he was the grain guard captain in Huaiyuan Town, Western Liaoning in this barren mountain.But she remembered this Ji Chunlei, he joined the army as Ming Dian from the grain guards, and he was in charge of inspecting the violations of soldiers in the army. When he was in Huaiyuan Town, he didn't know how many people's asses were beaten to death by his law enforcement team. .

Li Huining was politely invited up the mountain by Ji Chunlei. First, she arranged for a maid to wash away the blood stains all over her body, and then sent a few new sets of women's clothes over. After taking a bath and changing clothes, Li Huining felt as if she had changed Like a person, even the grief, anger and sadness caused by Chai Shao's betrayal became extremely indifferent. Sitting on the chair by the window and looking at the lush mountains outside, she actually had the illusion that she seemed to be in another world.

At this moment, Ji Chunlei entered the courtyard with a tray in person.On the tray are freshly made warm meals and a jug of just warmed old wine.

"Miss, is it convenient? I brought you some food."

Ji Chunlei stood outside the door and said respectfully.

"Come in, Brother Ji."

Li Huining stood up and said, Ji Chunlei opened the door and came in, put the tray on the table next to Li Huining and said apologetically: "The subordinates have no eyesight to do such a thing, Miss Lucky is not hurt, I have sent someone to arrest those scum Go out and chop it up, miss, you... oh... this matter is so troublesome, I don't have the face to come to see you."

"Brother Ji, don't say that. It's too late for me to be happy to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land. Besides, if I hadn't been stopped, I wouldn't have met you, right? Those soldiers also made unintentional mistakes. If they can be spared, let them be spared."

"That won't do!"

Ji Chunlei said loudly: "Ming Dian joined the army when I was under Duke Tang's command, and I can't see soldiers doing such nasty things. If you forgive them once today, there is no guarantee that they will cause trouble for me next time. Miss, you are kind-hearted, but Military law is military law, and there must be no ambiguity at all."

"what ever."

Li Huining smiled, feeling that she had no strength in her whole body.She sat down in a chair and asked, "How did you get here?"

Ji Chunlei smiled honestly and said: "When we conquered Liaodong for the second time, our Sui troops were victorious, and we were about to hit Pyongyang City. Who would have thought that Yang Xuan would be rebellious. The army retreated in a hurry, and our guards The grain soldiers still had to stay in Huaiyuan Town to protect the grain, grass and supplies. It was just that the army retreated to the west of Liaoxi in a hurry and panic. All the grain and grass will be burned by the Goguryeo people."

"It was at that time that I was injured and went back to my hometown to recuperate. When I went to Goguryeo for the third time in the next year, I went to Huaiyuan Town to report. It was just that I went late. I didn't expect that Tang Gong had been appointed as Hexi Daoxuan. Ambassador Fu, I'm not familiar with the new captain of food protection, because he didn't send the money, he wanted to kill me in the name of being late. I simply fled with a group of old brothers. It happened that the army retreated at that time, and no one cared Gotta keep an eye on us."

"The old brothers have all been bullied by the new captain. We discussed it and decided to kill the captain before escaping. So that night, I took a gift to send it to the captain and stabbed him while drinking. Chop off his head and kill the fifth-rank officials of the court, and our official career will come to an end. We discussed it and decided to go to Hexi to find Tang Gong."

"Hundreds of old brothers followed me to Hexi, not to mention the dangerous things that happened on the way. I hid for a while and walked for a while. Before I left Zhuojun, I heard that the emperor was trapped by the Turks. Yanmen. We thought that Tang Gong was already staying in Taiyuan at that time, and he must lead the army to rescue him. But we killed the court officials, how can we go to Yanmen to die?"

"Simply, we stopped in Hebei. The brothers defeated several small groups of rebels, and the team gathered more and more. I was old, and the brothers elected me to be the leader. Later, Li Mi sent someone to come Contact us, let us send troops to besiege Dongdu together. I also promised me a county prince, a champion general. I discussed with everyone, since it has been reversed, it is impossible to serve the court anymore, but in troubled times, you have to live Go on, no one wants to linger in mediocrity."

"At that time, I was also fooled by Li Mi's lies and lost my mind. Everyone felt that fame was taken immediately. In troubled times, a man would naturally have to build a career. If Dongdu is conquered, everyone will be the founding hero! Unfortunately, Dongdu In the first battle, we were killed and defeated. In that battle, the last few old brothers around me were also killed. I was discouraged, so I took my brothers out of Wagangzhai and walked westward. Almost I came here half a year ago, and I thought it was a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, so I stayed here.”

"I really didn't expect to meet Miss."

Ji Chunlei said with emotion: "As long as I fall asleep now, I will dream. In the dream, we are standing on the west bank of the Liaoshui River to cheer for the old general Mai Tiezhang. In my dreams, I want to go back to Duke Tang to do things, even if I still do things. It is better for a small Ming Dian to join the army than to be a big boss."

He glanced at Li Huining, hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard that Mr. Tang is also involved?"

Li Huining felt a little sad when he heard what Ji Chunlei said about the past few years. The veterans of the food guards in Huaiyuan Town, except those who had been with his father, were almost all dead.When I was in Huaiyuan Town, I liked playing in the barracks the most, and I was very familiar with those school captains and brigades.In just a few years, people who were alive at the time have now turned into dead bones under the weeds somewhere.

"Yang You ordered that all members of our Li family in Chang'an be killed. My father was loyal to the country all his life, but he was said to be a traitor. My dozen younger brothers and sisters were all dead, and I was the only one in Chang'an. escaped."

"what!"

Ji Chunlei screamed: "So it's true, what about Lord Chejun, why didn't he protect you and go with you?"

"He... Afraid of hurting me, he took another path."

Ji Chunlei was startled, then clenched his fists tightly.

rat!

He cursed in his heart, and in an instant, the good impression of Chai Shao in his heart collapsed.

……

……

"Miss, are you going back to Taiyuan?"

Ji Chunlei persuaded Li Huining to eat something, and he sat beside him.

"I don't know if my father really raised his troops, so I had to rush back to Taiyuan. At first, I thought that if I was lucky, I might meet my father and brothers. But by accident, I met you instead , I have to say, my luck is really not bad."

At least after eating something, Li Huining felt that she had regained some strength.

"so!"

Ji Chunlei thought for a while and said: "I sent people to the north to find out the news. If Mr. Tang really raises an army in Taiyuan, I reckon it should be going to Chang'an. If we hear about Mr. Tang, let's go together! "

"you?"

Li Huining was surprised and said, "Are you really planning to work under my father's command again?"

"Manly man!"

Ji Chunlei stood up and said, "Of course I can't always hide in the mountains and be a thief. Li Mi is not a thing. I was blind when I voted for him. Since I have the opportunity to return to Tang Gong's command, how can I give up? I have 5000 people under my command." [-] troops, although the combat power is mediocre, they can still do something for Tang Gong, even if they are still food guards. To be honest, if you are selfish, you will have a bright future with Tang Gong. After all, you are just a bunch of bandits in this mountain. Who doesn’t want to be a Marquis and a General? If Duke Tang achieves a great cause, I can be regarded as a dragon, and I can also be a wife and son!”

"well said!"

Li Huining clapped her hands and said, "That's exactly what it should be!"

"Miss, if you don't dislike it, I will entrust all the people in this cottage to you, and you will be our master!"

"This……"

Just as Li Huining was about to resign, someone outside shouted eagerly: "Big master! Big event, big event! Tang Gong Li Yuan's vanguard general Liu Hongji has led his troops to a place less than five hundred miles away from Chang'an City. Yang You sent Huya Lang will lead Song Laosheng with [-] troops to fight."

"Ha ha!"

Ji Chunlei couldn't help laughing loudly: "General Liu is calling!"

He smiled happily like a child: "When I was in Huaiyuan Town, General Liu was the general who guarded the grain, and I was working under General Liu. It seems that we haven't seen each other for almost five years!"

He paced back and forth excitedly, and said excitedly as he walked, "I'm going to gather troops now, and we can raise troops to join General Liu!"

"Don't worry!"

Li Huining thought for a while and said: "You send scouts first and then go to investigate, first confirm the accuracy of the news. And we don't need to rush to join Brother Hongji, if he really fights Song Laosheng, we will be a team Raiders, maybe they can play a vital role!"

"Look, I'm so happy and confused!"

Ji Chunlei smiled and said, "From today on, you are the master of this cottage, and we all listen to you."

"Does your cottage have a name?"

"Fenglei Village, how about it? It's a bit imposing. Isn't my name Ji Chunlei, hehe. But from now on, this cottage will be yours, and it is the people under Duke Tang's command, so naturally you have to change your name."

"First of all, Fenglei Village is very good."

"Don't, why don't you...call it the Detachment of Women?"

……

……

Liu Hongji looked at the map in the military tent, pointed to a place above and said, "This is Fort Jiahu. We are here now. Fifty miles to the southeast is Huoyi. Song Laosheng stationed [-] soldiers in Huoyi. Yi. As long as Huoyi is defeated, we can go straight to Chang'an, so we must not miss anything in this battle."

He thought about it and said, "Should we wait for Duke Tang's army to come up before we advance?"

Li Shimin pondered for a while and said: "If
