Chapter 247
Seeing the formation of Li Yuan's army, Wang Mahan sarcastically said: "Fanshi County has been besieged for half a year, and Li Yuan did not send a single soldier. But now that our army has arrived in Fanshi County, he will lead the army here. Li Yuanzhen He is a loyal minister of the imperial court."

Wen Yanbo said: "Li Yuan came here suddenly, his intentions are unclear, so please be careful."

"Report to the prefect! Li Yuan's army came from Jinyang. There are [-] troops, all elite." Tan Ma reported the news to Li Chongjiu.

"Understood." Li Chongjiu nodded, looked down the mountain, and directly Li Yuan's army formed a formation along a hill, while facing Li Chongjiu, Liu Wuzhou sent a thousand Xuanjia cavalry to form a formation, followed by the infantry. Arranged on the mountain, one layer after another, the law is strict, and one can tell at a glance that it is a formation that can only be formed by a general who has been accustomed to fighting for a long time.

Xuanjia iron cavalry formed a formation five miles away from Li Chongjiu, and then several cavalry headed towards Liu Wuzhou and Li Chongjiu's camp respectively.Yiqi came to Li Chongjiu's camp and went up the mountain to meet Li Chongjiu, and said: "Mr. Tang said that Jinyang Palace is a farewell. It has been a year since I left, so I would like to invite Li Shijun to meet."

Afterwards, an old man in Tsing Yi from the Sui army stood on a sloping field hundreds of steps away from Li Chongjiu's ninth army.The old man in green came lightly, and this demeanor that looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers as nothing at the moment, who else could it be if it were not Li Yuan.

Wen Yanbo said: "Prefect, Liu Wu and Zhou's army are gathering secretly in the distance. I think Li Yuan's trip may not be well-intentioned, so we need to be careful." Li Chongjiu nodded. I don't know whether Li Yuan came here to shoot a halberd at the gate, or to pull a sideways frame.But seeing Li Yuan going to the meeting on his own, while Liu Wuzhou's camp was also slowly approaching, it must be Liu Wuzhou.

Li Chongjiu also does not want other followers at the moment.After instructing Wang Mahan and Wen Yanbo to guard the camp, Li Chongjiu rode his horse and whipped down the mountain alone.The war horse stepped on the yellow sand and came very fast, Li Chongjiu reined in the horse suddenly, and stopped ten steps ahead of Li Yuan's horse.

A thousand steps behind Li Yuan, armored cavalry lined up like mountains and forests, reflected behind him.

Li Chongjiu thought of the humiliation of his father's marriage proposal that day. During Jinyang Palace, the other party took away his tableware, peeled off his official robe for a moment, and let all the officials ridicule him.

The previous emotions were buried in his heart, Li Chongjiu took a deep breath, without any emotional fluctuations, and said impressively: "Li Yuan!"

The breeze blew, and the corner of Li Yuan's sleeve robe was slightly rolled up. He took a deep look at Li Chongjiu, but he was surprised that the general Ying Yang, who seemed to be able to knead for him at will, seemed a little different today.

Just when Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan were looking at each other, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and a big man came on horseback.This big man has a very rugged appearance, with a beard around his cheeks, a linen waistcoat, and iron hoops on his left and right arms.

Appeal!
The other party said according to the horse's words: "You are Li Yuan?"

Li Yuan swept his eyes and said, "Your Excellency must have decided on Yang Kehan, I have heard his name for a long time."

"Bah! Don't do this to me," Liu Wuzhou yelled, "Khan and I are facing each other at the bottom of the city. Why do you bring troops here, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? Or do you want to be an oriole?"

Li Chongjiu praised slightly from the bottom of his heart, it seems that Liu Wuzhou is a smart man, he knows that at this time the two heroes are fighting, and Li Yuan, a fisherman, must not benefit.

Li Yuan said calmly: "As a stayer in Taiyuan, the old man is the four counties of Mayi, Loufan, Yanmen, and Taiyuan. You have already occupied two counties, and now you are here to seize Yanmen. Who will take advantage of others' danger and benefit from the fisherman?"

Liu Wuzhou smiled disdainfully, touched his bearded chin, pointed his hand down and said: "The land of this world is not bestowed by the heavens. Everyone can take it if they have the strength. If it is Tang Gong, you want to take back the horse Yi, the second counties of Loufan, just let the horses come and take it, I will wait for you here in formation. Why don’t you dare? Are you afraid of my 40 army, or the [-] Turkic cavalry?”

Speaking of this, Liu Wuzhou glanced at Li Chongjiu, and snorted coldly, which clearly meant a warning.Of course, this meant that Li Chongjiu had to weigh whether he had the ability to compete with the Turkic people.

Li Yuan blushed slightly, took out a sheepskin full of words from his sleeve, and threw it directly to Liu Wuzhou.Liu Wuzhou glanced at Li Yuan suspiciously, picked up the sheepskin and glanced at it, his expression changed immediately.

Liu Wuzhou took another look at Li Yuan, rode his horse up to Li Yuan, and said, "Why do you use chicken feathers as arrows? Do I have to listen to you?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Wuzhou flicked his horsewhip, of course he turned the horse's head, and rode back to his own barracks.
After Liu Wuzhou was dismissed, Li Yuan's green robe fluttered in the wind, his face was as usual, he pinched his beard and smiled, looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "Liu Wuzhou is just a soldier, pretending to be rough and arrogant to cover up his scheming, this is the way a person will be for the rest of his life, It won’t be a big deal. In comparison, the old man is more optimistic about you, my nephew. You have read the book, understand the truth, and have the courage to be bold. You can write and use martial arts. In the future, you will definitely not be comparable to Liu Wuzhou."

Li Chongjiu sneered slightly.
Seeing Li Chongjiu's expression, Li Yuan hurried forward and said, "Zhi Wan is my daughter, of course this old man has the right to decide who to marry. So I still don't think there is anything wrong with what happened in the past. It is the emperor's order to arrest you, and this old man obeys orders , maybe when I did it, some behaviors were not so appropriate, but if I go back to two years ago, I don’t think I will change my original decision.”

"Improper behavior?" Li Chongjiu sneered and said, "One word of improper behavior can clear everything up."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Leave everything alone? From the Eastern Capital to the Western Capital, there are countless people who come to ask for marriage. If you talk about humiliation, what about them?"
When Li Yuan said this, he sighed and said: "The old man regards you as a nephew, and I will take you under my account and go to the Yanmen. I hope you can serve the court. In the battle of Yanmen, you will be assassinated among the ten thousand troops. , Famous all over the world, this old man is both happy for you and worried about you, and also afraid that you will be too young and don’t know how to control yourself. Then you acted wrong, and this old man is also responsible for it, but it’s not too late to make up for it.”

"If you are willing to show up and submit to the imperial court, the old man will guarantee you with his wealth and life. As for our agreement, except for Sanniang, you can choose the other daughters of the old man who are waiting for the family. We are still Weng son-in-law , in the future, if the old man is expected to advance one step further, how about protecting the title of your descendants, so that your children and grandchildren will continue for generations?"

After Li Yuan's earnest words were finished, Li Chongjiu suddenly raised his head and laughed, and said, "Li Yuan, you are really scheming. Right now I am fighting with Liu Wuzhou and the dragon and tiger. If the winner is the one in the north, be careful. This happened, so I came here to persuade our two families to stop fighting, which not only sold the family relationship between the two families, but also made us restrain each other in the future, so you can rest assured, the army will go straight to Xijing, right?"
Hearing Li Chongjiu's words, Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and he sneered and said: "It's pure nonsense. Very good, since you insist on this, I will help you one last time, and lead the troops to withdraw from Fanshi County immediately, otherwise there will be consequences. conceited."

"If I don't want to, what are the consequences?" Seeing Li Yuan's final showdown, Li Chongjiu also said bluntly.

Li Yuan raised his hands and said: "If you don't want to, I will beat you together with Liu Wuzhou. The old man is 50 years old this year, and the only thing left is the word ruthless. Even if Liu Wuzhou wins Fanshi County, it doesn't matter. He is a son-in-law. Prosperity, wealth, or this battle, you choose. Lastly, I can hold you with my left hand, but my right hand is stronger!"

The gust of wind suddenly picked up, blowing the yellow sand all around, Li Yuan and Li Chongjiu confronted each other, with tens of thousands of troops sitting on the sidelines behind them, waiting for an order to start the war.

"Li Yuan, do you think you are powerful, so can you suppress me?"

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. It is not easy in ancient and modern times!"

Li Chongjiu shook his head and said immediately: "Unfortunately, this is not Jinyang Palace." After speaking, Li Chongjiu raised his right arm upwards.

Li Yuan's eyes paused for a moment, and at this moment, the sky was full of yellow sand, and a wriggling black line appeared, and the sound of the wind coming from a distance was like the neighing of a horse, and the roar of iron riding on the ground.

It's just that Li Yuan seemed to understand something in an instant, but seeing Li Chongjiu's expression was normal.Li Yuan looked to the north, this is an extremely majestic army, a sea of ​​people that can't be seen at a glance, the galloping cavalry gallops on the ground, advancing like waves.The cavalry were dressed in leather and animal skins, with long braids tied on their heads, their skirts were opened to the left, their lips were drawn together and they whistled during the gallop.

Li Chongjiu said: "The [-] riders were originally used by me to ambush Liu Wuzhou, but now, Mr. Tang, do you still think that you are powerful enough to overwhelm me?"

"Twenty thousand cavalry!" Li Yuan was also a soldier, and from the momentum of the opponent's cavalry, it could be seen that what Li Chongjiu said was definitely not a lie.Li Yuan couldn't help thinking that although he knew that this son had the help of the grassland fan army, and his power is not what it used to be, but he didn't expect there to be so many people. It seems that this son has no wings, and this time he came to Yanmen. . "

Li Yuan snorted coldly, without further ado, rode his horse back to the camp.Li Yuan was flying very fast. He was also a decisive person. He knew that Li Chongjiu's Fan army was powerful. If he pursued him, he might lose a lot of strength when he returned to Jinyang. This time it was really a miscalculation.

Seeing Li Yuan retreat, Wang Mahan, Yu Chigong, Wen Yanbo and others all descended the mountain together.Wang Mahan said: "Xiao Jiu, just take this opportunity to lead the army to chase and kill Li Yuan, which is enough for him to keep half of his men."

Wen Yanbo said: "No, Li Yuan is after all a great official of the imperial court, if he is killed suddenly, it will not benefit our army's reputation."

Li Chongjiu shook his head, pointed to the armored cavalry behind Li Yuan's palace, and said: "This army is elite, if it is the queen, our army is not sure of victory." Li Chongjiu didn't want to follow and chase Li Yuan at this moment, but the effect was not great. It is very unlikely that Li Yuan will be left behind.

Li Chongjiu said to the left and right: "Right now Liu Wuzhou is our great enemy, since we have torn our face, we don't need to be polite. We will still attack Liu Wuzhou according to the original proposal."
