Chapter 397
After dealing with Yang Hao's matter in the main hall, Li Chongjiu couldn't help feeling a little tired.

Li Tang's general trend, Dou Jiande's push towards Youzhou, the rise of Goguryeo in Liaodong, and the Turks' eyeing on the Central Plains. Now things are complicated. Although Li Chongjiu sits in Youzhou and conquers Hengshan County, his situation is As if walking on thin ice, dare not have the slightest carelessness.

The person to be stationed in Hengshan County has not yet been decided, so Li Chongjiu simply put aside the mountain of paperwork on his desk, and decided to go out for a walk and take a break for a while.

As the governor's mansion of a county, the scenery in the courtyard is not bad.

Li Chongjiu walked to the water pavilion in the courtyard, and saw several golden carps swimming in the pond, leisurely and contentedly, he couldn't help but stop and watch.

It is almost dusk now, the setting sun shines on the edge of the pool, rippling golden light, the golden carp swimming in the golden light, very cute.

Li Chongjiu was watching intently when he suddenly heard footsteps.

Turning his head, he saw Yang Ehuang lightly lifted Luo Sha in the long corridor, panting slightly, obviously rushing here.

Li Chongjiu didn't know what could make Yang Ehuang, who had always been dignified, lose his composure, but he still stepped forward to salute and said, "Seeing the princess, what's the matter?"

Seeing Li Chongjiu, Yang Ehuang stepped forward and said, "You don't need to be too polite. I'm here for my brother's business."

Li Chongjiu laughed and said, "It's King Qi."

Yang Ehuang took a deep breath and calmed down before saying: "My second brother has been in the palace since he was a child. Originally, after the crown prince died of illness, he might be able to become the crown prince for the East Palace, but the emperor doesn't like him. , and finally put him under house arrest."

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Your Highness, I have heard a little about King Qi."

Yang Ehuang said: "Yes, you are a person like Liu Bang who started from nothing and became a prince today. My second brother could inherit the great treasure, but because of his wrong behavior, he missed it in the end."

Li Chongjiu frowned slightly, thinking how could he say that about his brother.

Yang Ehuang was considerate and knew that Li Chongjiu was unhappy, so he said immediately: "Mr. Shanggu, I don't say this to make you sympathize with my second brother. The Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and he is also a person in trouble. He is a structure for you. Not a threat, right now he is the only man in my Yang family, I just hope he is safe and sound."

Li Chongjiu nodded, so that's the case, she was worried that she would be unfavorable to the king, so she came to beg herself.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu said seriously: "Your Highness, it turns out that you are worried about His Highness King Qi. When we were in Luoyang, if King Qi and His Highness hadn't taken you in, my father and I would have been arrested by the yamen of the Eastern Capital. I accept His Royal Highness King Qi came to Youzhou not because he wanted to rely on his status as King Qi, but to repay the kindness he gave back then."

"Besides, I have promised King Qi to serve as an official in Mount Heng. He must have told you."

Yang Ehuang nodded and said: "I've heard it, but I'm just not at ease. I know that you are the one who does big things, and you have your own choice. I can only be at ease if I hear your promise in the end. I'm here to repay you , I have never repaid you."

"What kindness do I have to Your Highness?" Li Chongjiu couldn't help wondering.

"So you forgot." Yang Ehuang lowered his head with a bit of sadness in his eyes, but the emotion disappeared in an instant.She raised her head again and said with a smile, "But as long as I remember, when I was outside the Yanmen Gate, I sat in a carriage and was hunted down by the Turks. At that time, you shot down the Turks and saved me. This kindness and this virtue, I will always remember it in my heart.”

After speaking, Yang Ehuang took off the sachet from his waist, and held it in front of Li Chongjiu with both hands.

Li Chongjiu was slightly taken aback, and immediately took the sachet from Yang Ehuang with both hands.

The sachet carried the faint body fragrance of Yang Ehuang, and Li Chongjiu couldn't help smelling it, but when he opened the sachet, he found a sharp object, which was a small arrowhead.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help being surprised, what did Yang Ehuang think of this little arrowhead for him, but when he raised his head and saw Yang Ehuang's warm gaze, he lowered his head again.

On the arrow bar, Li Chongjiu saw his name engraved on it.

Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that when he served in the army, in order to calculate his military exploits, he spent a night engraving his name on each of his arrowheads.

The original arrow is no longer there, but Yang Ehuang keeps one.

"Did you keep it with you all these years?"

Yang Ehuang smiled brilliantly and said, "I dare not forget the kindness of saving my life."

Li Chongjiu couldn't help being a little moved. The setting sun was shining, and Yang Ehuang's black and white pupils seemed to be overflowing with colored light. One look contained thousands of words, and his smile was as bright as the sun.

Li Chongjiu didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only grab Yang Ehuang's pair of catkins in his hands.

When Yang Ehuang saw Li Chongjiu's actions, his eyes were a little flustered and a little surprised. He wanted to withdraw his hand but didn't twitch. He just lowered his head to avoid Li Chongjiu's gaze.

After half a sound, the two stood quietly.

Yang Ehuang couldn't help saying: "How long are you going to hold this?"

"Of course it's a lifetime." Li Chongjiu laughed happily, seeing the shame in Yang Ehuang's eyes, it was as if he had won a big battle.

Hearing this and laughing, Yang Ehuang fought hard, and said in embarrassment: "I thought you were an honest gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be a frivolous person."

Li Chongjiu said seriously: "I was just a commoner in Yanmenguan, so He Dehe can be remembered by the princess in my heart."

Yang Ehuang looked at Li Chongjiu, and said: "I don't know, sometimes after seeing it, I don't know when it penetrated into my heart."

"I will cherish it." Li Chongjiu said seriously.

Liu Heitai in Zhuojun was in a hurry to attack, so Li Chongjiu could not delay for a moment and must return to Youzhou.

Hengshan County is extremely important to the future strategic position of the Youzhou Army. In Li Chongjiu's plan, Hengshan County is to stand with Taiyuan County and Zhuo County as a tripartite confrontation, and the whole is used to prop up the situation in Hebei in the future. stable.

Now that Dou Jiande and Li Shentong are eyeing up, it is impossible for Li Chongjiu to abandon such an important town in Hengshan County.

Now I sit in Youzhou, Taiyuan County has Wei Chigong, and who is guarding Hengshan County?

The next day, Li Chongjiu summoned all the generals to discuss again and guard the people of Hengshan County.

Most of the generals belonged to Wang Mahan. Although Wang Mahan was a general, he was competent, but Li Chongjiu believed that he was not suitable for guarding Hengshan County.

In case Liu Heita or Li Jing attacked Hengshan County in the future, Wang Mahan's ability would not be able to resist it at all.

So the generals mentioned Xue Wanche again. Xue Wanche was brave and resourceful. This time he led an army from Youzhou to attack Hengshan County and captured Hengshan.Xue Wanche's contributions are not small, but Li Chongjiu felt that Xue Wanche's use of troops was very dangerous. In such a battle, he would either win or lose.

If he wanted to guard Hengshan County, firstly, as a general of Hu Ben, he lacked qualifications, and secondly, Li Chongjiu needed a safe person to guard Hengshan.

Right now, Li Chongjiu still decided to hand over the important task of guarding Hengshan County to Xu Shiji and his elite [-] Wagang Army.
