The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 461 Yuchi Gong Calls in Front of the Pass (Third Watch)

"I said Cheng Yaojin, did you accept He Zongxian's favors? Why do you intercede for him again and again." Yuchi Gong opened his eyes wide, looked at Cheng Yaojin and said.

"How is my old Cheng's family background? Needless to say, everyone here probably knows it well. What else can he take to bribe me, Old Cheng."

"I'm just discussing the matter as it stands. I can't deny other people's credit just because of a momentary mistake. At least they have thought of a way to pile up earth into mountains." Cheng Yaojin said to Yu Chigong.

Who here doesn't know Cheng Yaojin's temper.That's a master who doesn't pay attention to the throne.How can you accept bribes from others.

So Xu Mao said openly: "Cheng Yaojin's words are not unreasonable, but such behavior must be punished. Otherwise, it will be difficult to appease the public."

At this time, Zhang Shigui was farewell, Tido was grateful to Cheng Yaojin, so he hurriedly said to Yu Chigong: "Marshal, I will bring He Zongxian here, and how to punish the crime depends entirely on the Marshal."

"You don't need to bring him here. If you see him as a marshal, don't beat him up. Just hit him with fifty military sticks for a small punishment. If similar things happen again, don't blame the marshal for being ruthless." Yu Chigong was angry. Said.

After Zhang Shigui let out a sigh, he turned and left.Not long after, He Zongxian howled like a pig being killed.

At this time, Zhang Shigui did not dare to seek personal gain or cheat.So He Zongxian was real, and received the fifty army sticks.The one who was beaten was torn apart.

……

"Brother, that stupid He Zongxian was beaten with fifty military sticks by Marshal Yuchi today. I guess he can't even get off the ground now." Xue Xiantu laughed and said to Xue Rengui.

"I'm afraid He Zongxian will take this grudge on the eldest brother again. I'm afraid we will have a hard time in Huotouying." Zhou Qing said with a helpless sigh.

"Now that the earth mountain has been half piled up, naturally we can't just let it go to waste. Therefore, this earth mountain must continue to be piled up."

"But I guess it's not convenient for me to show up during this period of time. The heavy responsibility of forming a mountain of earth will probably fall on the marshal himself." Xue Rengui said.

After all, Xue Rengui appeared as He Zongxian now.Now He Zongxian was beaten with fifty army sticks and is recuperating on the bed.It is naturally impossible for Xue Rengui to appear.

"That's just right, so that this thankless matter will not fall on our brothers again." Zhou Xiantu said.

Sure enough, as Xue Rengui expected, he soon received Zhang Shigui's order.That was the period of time that made Xue Rengui stay in Huotou camp obediently.

But what Zhang Shigui said was to avoid being discovered by the emperor.At that time, Xue Rengui's head will be lost.

Xue Rengui naturally showed a grateful expression.At the same time, I also took this opportunity to rest and reorganize the firehead army.

……

Early the next morning, Yuchi Gong was promoted to the commander-in-chief, Zhang Shigui and others lined up on both sides.Waiting for Yu Chigong's arrangement.

Only Yu Chigong said: "Although He Zongxian's improper command caused heavy casualties to our army, but his pile of earth into mountains can be called a good strategy."

"So this pile of earth can't stop. I don't know who has a way to continue to pile up this mountain of earth."

"Marshal Qi, when he was building the earth mountain, He Zongxian ordered people to build a lot of giant wooden protective vehicles. But just yesterday, they were destroyed by the soldiers who went out of the city."

"That's why He Zongxian was so angry that he ordered the soldiers to hold up their shields and continue to pile up the soil. Therefore, the marshal only needs to order people to build a giant protective vehicle. Then he can continue to pile up the mountain of dirt." Zhang Shigui said.

"Since that's the case, I'll give you the Pioneer Battalion to make this giant protective vehicle. It must be completed within two days, otherwise the military law will serve you." Yu Chigong said to Zhang Shigui.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Shigui opened his mouth and said to Yu Chigong: "Marshal, please rest assured, we will definitely provide enough giant protective vehicles for Marshal in two days' time."

"All the generals obey the order and go out of the camp with this commander. Today, this commander will go into battle in person and kill his arrogance in Jili City." After Yu Chigong finished speaking, he stood up and led the people to leave the camp.

All the generals put on their helmets, pierced their armor and wore their burqas, and led an army of [-] out of the camp, heading straight for Jili City.

Before arriving at Jili City, Yu Chigong set up a battle formation and urged his horses to go towards Jili City.Yu Chigong came to the city and pointed at the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand.

Loudly shouted to the city: "This commander is Wei Chigong, Generalissimo of the Army of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who is not afraid of death, come and fight with this commander for three hundred rounds."

Yu Chigong's name is absolutely impressive.So Xiao Yang in the city couldn't help but tremble when he heard Yu Chigong coming.

Hastily turned around and said to Zhou Qianya who was beside him: "This Yuchi Jingde is not a master who is easy to deal with. I am afraid that He Zongxian in white robe can't compare with him."

"When Yu Chigong was young, although he was able to capture three passes every day and eight strongholds at night, but now that he is old, I am afraid that his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." Zhou Qianya shook his head and said.

"Even so, Yuchi Jingde led an entire army of 50. If Jili City is attacked by force, I am afraid that Jili City will not be able to defend it no matter what." Xiao Yang said to Zhou Qianya.

"The marshal has already expected it, and wants to use Jili City to block the pace of the Tang Dynasty troops. That is absolutely unrealistic."

"So what we have to do is, one is to buy enough time for the marshal. The other is to consume the Tang army's supplies and soldiers to the greatest extent."

"Nowadays, Datang is on an expedition of thousands of miles across the sea, and his logistics supply is his flaw. So as long as we persist, it will be considered the greatest victory." Zhou Qianya said to Xiao Yang.

"But now Yu Chigong is watching the enemy. Is there anyone on our side who can fight with him." After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he looked back at the generals around him.

These military generals usually show off their might one by one.When they heard that the other party was Yu Chigong, they all lowered their heads involuntarily.

They were afraid of being called out by Xiao Yang, because they felt that going out would be tantamount to death.So if you kill them now, they don't want to fight.

"General Xiao, don't be in trouble. Let me go down and meet him, Yu Chigong. Let's see if he is still as young as a man, and has the courage that a man should not have." Zhou Qianya saw that there was no one to fight, so he opened his mouth and said to Xiao Yang.

Hearing Zhou Qianya's challenge, Xiao Yang couldn't help but nodded, and then said to Zhou Qianya: "General Zhou must be careful, this Yu Chigong merger is not a generation of wine bags and rice bags."

"General Xiao can rest assured, I have my own measure." After Zhou Qianya finished speaking, he turned and went down the city wall.After counting five thousand cavalry, they broke out of Jili City.

Arriving at the front of the formation of the two armies, Zhou Qianya lined up behind him.Facing Yuchi Gong, he shouted loudly: "Old man Yuchi, you don't live in Chang'an City for the elderly. You just came to Koguryo to die. Don't you really think it's too long to live?"
