Chapter 902: War Smoke in the North
The middle-aged man in linen clothes broke out in a cold sweat.
His identity had been kept secret for so many years, but it was finally discovered.
The most important thing is that Li Cunxi actually knew his identity and sent his generals over.
The beautiful middle-aged woman stretched out her hand, tightly held the hand of the middle-aged man in linen clothes, and smiled gently.
"Husband, now that you've been found, there's no room for negotiation."
"Instead of refusing to admit it, why not just admit it directly?"
"Anyway, whether to kill or chop him up is up to His Majesty the Emperor."
The middle-aged man in linen clothes nodded and said "hmm".
He felt that his wife was right.
The Taoist priest Long Feng from Tiexian Temple appeared here, so he must have brought the emperor's order.
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
"I am Li Xian, the Crown Prince of Zhanghuai. General Long, tell me what you want to do."
"Whether I am killed or cut, I accept it."
"In the past, the world has said that I died twice. Today is nothing more than the third time."
"Come, tell me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang, what is it that he wants you to do when you come to look for me?"
Long Feng clasped his fists and bowed.
He didn't say anything, but the sound of breaking wind could be heard in the woods around him.
Dozens of figures flashed out in the forest, and finally entered the courtyard together, stood behind Long Feng, and bowed to Li Xian.
"We are here to meet Prince Zhang Huai!"
Long Feng finally raised his head, stood up straight, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered you to return to the court to take up your post."
Li Xian, who was waiting to die, was confused and thought he had misheard.
Let him return to the court to serve?
What position do you hold?
Besides being the crown prince and prince, what other positions did he hold?
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"I don't know, I only know that His Majesty wants to invite Your Highness back to the court."
"I will not go back with you. If Your Majesty is not confident in me, then kill me. I have become accustomed to farming for a living. This is good and I live a comfortable life." Li Xian refused.
Long Feng looked at Li Xian steadily, then at Li Xian's wife, and bowed again.
"Since Your Highness doesn't want to go back, then forget it."
"I will leave now and will not disturb you again in the future."
Long Feng was very decisive. Since he couldn't take Li Xian away, he simply didn't waste his time here.
The big men and shadow guards in the yard also gradually left.
However, in the lonely forest, there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes.
……
In Chongzhou, Wang Xiaojie spent another ordinary day.
Just as he was about to end the day with a glass of wine, the deputy general's voice suddenly rang out from outside.
"General, the gods are coming!"
Wang Xiaojie quickly put down the wine glass in his hand, rushed out of the room as fast as he could, and came to the yard.
Under the dim moonlight tonight, he saw Wang Xiaojie, the former top master of the Leopard Guard and now the general of the Right Eagle Guard.
There is a bond between the two, but it is mostly related to Li Cunxi.
"Jinghui!"
Wang Xiaojie came over with a smile.
"Oh, and Yuan Fang!"
"Hahahaha, good brothers, you are here, it must be because of His Majesty's order, right?"
As it happened, Daleha hadn't slept either, and came out wearing his undershirt.
"Greetings, two great generals." He clasped his fists.
"You're welcome, Deputy Chief Steward," said Wang Jinghui.
Wang Jinghui and Li Yuanfang, with their three thousand guards, had traveled day and night to arrive here and were extremely exhausted. After saying a few polite words, they immediately took out the letter written by Li Cunxi to Wang Xiaojie and Daleha.
"Grand Steward, Deputy Grand Steward, His Majesty only allowed us to bring this, not the imperial edict."
"From now on, we will follow the orders of the two stewards."
"Also, outside Chongzhou City, His Majesty's personal guard, the Wind Riders, are undergoing repairs. This special legion will also obey your orders."
Wang Xiaojie and Dalha were overjoyed and immediately took the two men into the second hall.
Soon, Wulezhi also came in from outside. When everyone saw each other, they were even more joyful.
"I never thought, Daleha, that not only do you have a half-brother in the Great Zhou, you even have a half-brother in the Turkic people, hahahahahaha."
Wang Xiaojie looked at Wulezhi's face and immediately started to joke with Dalha.
Daleha also found it very funny. He had felt this feeling once when he met Fang Zhe.
However, what he was most curious about now was when Wulezhi became Li Cunxi's personal guard.
"General Wu, when did you become the captain of His Majesty's guard?"
"Well, this story starts a long time ago. When I have the chance, I will tell you slowly... To put it simply, His Majesty and I are destined to be together."
The lights were on, and several people were discussing in detail in the second hall.
As the night ended and the day dawned, Wang Jinghui, Li Yuanfang and Wulezhi, who had been tired for several days, finally went to rest.
Wang Xiaojie and Dalha returned to the city gate tower and faced the vast Turkic army outside.
The two men yawned, ordered their men to guard the place tightly, and then found a watchtower, hid inside and took a deep sleep.
Sleeping in the arrow tower is a good habit. As long as the enemy starts to attack, the Right Weiwei Army and the Right Longwuwei Army will definitely shoot arrows and try to climb to the top of the arrow tower. The noise will be loud and the two of them will definitely be woken up.
Surprisingly, today's Turkic army did not launch an attack, which was rare.
The Leopard Division that came out of the camp to attack them stopped outside the range of the bows and arrows, looking at Chongzhou City from afar.
Turkic camp.
Qige was furious. The Turks kneeling on the ground brought the news that the five tribes of Dulu had been destroyed and Wuqijin had disappeared.
In order to ensure his own safety and to prevent the Shi Kingdom from being conquered, the new Khan Helu asked him to mobilize troops to provide support.
In the letter, Helu made it very clear that the person who attacked the Turkic homeland and destroyed the five Dulu tribes was the Khitan's Supreme Khan Li Wanshan, and his accomplices included the former Turkic rebel general Buzhen and the rebel Tie Yaozi.
These people broke in from the border between Khitan and Turkic, destroyed a Leopard Division, and then marched straight in to block the five Dulu tribes.
After that, Li Wanshan led the Khitan army and the Iron Harriers to surround and attack the reinforcements, and wiped out all the supporting troops until the three border leopard divisions came to support and delayed them.
Now, Helu is in a very dangerous situation!
"The Khan's safety is naturally my top priority, but once the Cang Lang Cavalry is transferred, can I really defeat the elite Tang army with only the Golden Horde?"
Through these days of contact, he already knew that the Tang Dynasty had stationed 200,000 troops of the Right Guard and the Right Dragon Guard in the small Chongzhou.
They have a total of 300,000 troops on their side. Without the Canglang Cavalry, he was really afraid that he would not be able to defeat Wang Xiaojie and Dalha.
Duoduo sat aside and reminded:
"By now, you should be thinking about more than whether you can defeat Wang Xiaojie and Daleha."
"What you should consider is how you will face us Turks if Helu is killed or captured alive because of your indecision."
