The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 522
At this time Xu Maogong also came over, patted Qi Guoyuan and said to me: "If the brothers of the family go to avenge you, I am afraid that they will have been buried under the nine willow leaf flying knives by now."

At this time, Qi Guoyuan had already drooped his head, because he had already felt that he had almost made a big mistake.

Seeing Qi Guoyuan's apologetic expression, Li Shimin came over and said: "The matter is over, and Brother Qi doesn't have to blame himself so much. After all, there are no serious consequences."

"Your Majesty, today is not only the life of the old minister, but also the life of King Yan. The lives of all the brothers were also saved by King Yan."

"But all of this is caused by the old minister's greed for merit." Qi Guoyuan plopped, knelt in front of Li Shimin, and said sincerely to Li Shimin.

"Uncle Qi, repentance will not solve the problem. Since it was my nephew who saved you, shouldn't you pay as much as the cost of saving your life?" Li Tai came to Qi Guoyuan and made a gesture of asking for money with his hand .

Li Tai's words surprised everyone present.They never thought that Li Tai would raise money with Qi Guoyuan at this time.

Li Shimin couldn't help but lower his face, and said to Li Tai angrily: "Brothers, you have conquered thousands of miles of land for my Tang Dynasty. Now they are in trouble, it is your duty to help them."

"But you are asking them for money here. It seems that if I don't punish you today, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all the princes."

Seeing that Li Shimin was going to get angry, Qin Qiong immediately said: "Your Majesty, King Yan just saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, so he just said something to ease the atmosphere. Why should the Emperor take it seriously?"

"That's not necessarily true. This kid has already fallen into the eyes of money. When did the second brother see him doing useless work? That is definitely a model of being useless." Cheng Yaojin on the side pouted. Said.

Cheng Yaojin wished that Li Tai would let Li Shimin clean up now, so that he could vent his anger on himself.After all, he has been fooled more than once in front of Li Tai.

Xu Maogong knew that if Cheng Yaojin was allowed to make jokes like this again.I'm afraid it will be difficult for Li Tai not to be punished by Li Shimin.

So he said, "Your Majesty, at this time Gai Suwen is still leading an army of 50 people, stationed at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. We must think of a way to break out, otherwise it will not be a solution in the long run."

"Your Majesty, the military advisor is right. If we are trapped in Phoenix Mountain for a day or two, it's okay. If the time is long, I'm afraid we will starve to death in Phoenix Mountain." Yu Chigong said to Li Shimin.

"I have already said just now that Li Tai will be punished. Since all the princes feel that this is not the time, then I will give you a chance for him to take the blame and make meritorious deeds."

"I don't care what method you use, within three days, I must leave Phoenix Mountain." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

At this moment, Li Tai, with an expression of how wronged he was, said helplessly to Li Shimin, "Father, my son, please do your best."

After finishing speaking, Li Tai waved his hand to Xu Liang, and Xu Liang led the logistics team and left with Li Tai.It disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Watching Li Tai leave, Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, why does King Yan make His Majesty angry every time he makes a military exploit?"

"Why should the military advisor ask questions knowingly? Could it be that the military advisor doesn't know Li Tai's thoughts?" Li Shimin said to Xu Maogong with a playful smile.

"We all know this truth, but my old Cheng just can't figure it out. Why does the emperor cooperate with him every time?" Cheng Yaojin asked Li Shimin on the side.

"Because only in this way can he be confident and bold to do it. Otherwise, with this kid's personality, he would have already given up the pick." Yu Chigong said from the side.

……

After Li Tai led Xu Liang to leave, he returned directly to his joint venture in Phoenix Mountain.At this time, Qin Huaiyu and others had also returned.

Li Tai asked the crowd: "Father has now issued an order that I must lead everyone to break through within three days. If I can't do it, I guess punishment will be unavoidable."

"My lord, at least 50 Goguryeo troops have been hoarded at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. It may not be so easy to successfully break through." Qin Huaiyu said to Li Tai.

"Now what we and the emperor brought is not as good as 5 horses. Surrounded by enemies ten times larger than ourselves, it is indeed very difficult to break through." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

"Three days of ugliness, we will lead the army to protect the emperor and break out to the foot of Phoenix Mountain. At that time, there will be someone at the foot of the mountain to meet us." Li Tai said to everyone.

"If someone cooperates with us at the foot of the mountain, if we cooperate internally and externally, it may not be difficult to break out." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

"According to the time calculation, Xue Rengui should lead the Huotou army back within three days. I have sent a letter to him, ordering him to attack the Koryo army camp on Phoenix Mountain from the bottom of the mountain in three days' time." Li Tai said to Xu Liang.

"In this case, let's make arrangements. We must guarantee that the emperor can leave Phoenix Mountain safely in three days." Qin Huaiyu said to Li Tai, and then everyone left the central army tent and went to prepare separately.

……

At the same time, Xue Rengui had also received Li Tai's letter from Feige.He opened his mouth and said to Hua Nan and Luo Huan beside him, "My lord has a letter from Fei Ge, saying that now the emperor and Marshal Yuchi are all trapped in Phoenix Mountain."

"Gai Suwen, the generalissimo of Goguryeo, commanded 50 troops from the Liaodong countries. They surrounded the entire Phoenix Mountain."

"My lord ordered us to launch an attack on Gai Suwen's camp at Choushi three days later. At that time, my lord will lead the soldiers on the mountain to protect the emperor to break through."

After hearing Xue Rengui's words, Luo Huan said, "With our current tens of thousands of people, I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this matter. It seems that we can only call out the army from Phoenix City."

"Only in this way can we complete the lord's confession. It's a pity that we don't have the ability to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in Phoenix City with our identities."

"Brother Luo Huan, don't worry, my lord not only sent a letter, but also a golden order from Marshal Yuchi." After Xue Rengui finished speaking, he took out another golden order from Yuchi Gong.

"With Marshal Yuchi's Golden Order, then this matter is not too difficult." Seeing the Golden Order in Xue Rengui's hand, Luo Huan nodded and said.

……

Gai Suwen, who returned to the coalition camp, was very angry.Because he had just returned to the foot of the mountain, the Imperial Army of King Wei who had attacked the camp three times had disappeared without a trace.

Gai Suwen said angrily: "Today's battle not only failed to kill a general of the Tang camp, but also lost my commander's nine willow-leaf flying knives."

"Marshal, don't be angry. Although our army didn't take advantage of it today. But as long as I can trap the mountain pass, even if I am hungry, I will starve Li Shimin and his subjects to death in Phoenix Mountain."
