Chapter 843: Clip attack

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

The congratulations between Liu Yi and King Li Zhi of Jin also began to become weaker day by day with Liu Yi's actions. Whether it was King Li Zhen of Yue, Empress Changsun, or King Li Ke of Wu who had just returned, they no longer paid attention to it or cared about it.

Although the old saying goes, if people do not have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries, but facing Li Zhi, Li Zhen, Li Ke, and Li Chengqian who is only eleven years old, they will not be too hostile and defensive. Even if Liu Yi really surrenders to him, what can he do? Yes, Liu Yi has some skills, and no one denies this, but the gap in age is not a few words of words, and a few teachings can easily make up for it.

People all need a growth process. If Li Zhi does not have three or five years of hard work, it is not enough to pose a substantial threat to their brothers. And three or five years later, even if Li Zhi grows up, will they be standing still and waiting for Lao Jiu to come and surpass?

Therefore, whether it is a relationship between Liu Yi and Li Zhi, whether it is a relationship between refugees or normal teacher-student relationship, although there are people who are a little unhappy or suspicious about Li Zhi's young age, it is within the scope that most people can accept, and it will not cause too much impact or disadvantage to anyone's interests. Therefore, everything now seems to be harmonious and harmonious, and there is nothing extreme.

Empress Changsun understood this most clearly and accepted it completely. If he didn't talk about him now, if the prince was really not enough to suppress Zhinu in three to five years, in other words, if Li Chengqian, who was ten years older than Zhinu, was even worse than Lao Jiu who grew up later, then he would not have to occupy the position of the East Palace again.

The country is a great talent and talented person. Although Empress Changsun loves Li Chengqian, her eldest son, compared to Li Tang's country, she also hopes that after Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty can have a better emperor to manage and inherit. What's more, Li Zhi is also her biological blood. Whether the throne falls into the hands of Qian'er or Zhinu, it is the same.

Unconsciously, the perseverance in Queen Changsun's heart began to undergo some changes, and these changes were what Liu Yi had always wanted to see the most.

In fact, the reason why Liu Yi chose Li Zhi as his apprentice was not only because of Li Zhen's stimulation and sincere love for Li Zhi, but also because of the mother-son relationship between Li Zhi and Empress Changsun.

Both are biological children, and both are deeply loved by Empress Changsun. Liu Yi did this and some of them wanted to force Empress Changsun to make a choice, whether to help the prince, King Jin, or not to help each other.

If Liu Yi wanted to take revenge, it would be difficult for Liu Yi to take revenge. Liu Yi had always been afraid of Empress Changsun, the mother of the country. If it weren't for her woman, Liu Yi would not have any doubts about this mother of the country as a general and a prime minister, talented and tricked, and had some considerable influence among the emperor and the courtiers. If she chose to help Li Chengqian, Li Zhi would probably not have any chance.

Therefore, Liu Yi was also betting that Empress Changsun would choose Li Zhi, or that she would not help each other because of her affection. Otherwise, when Li Chengqian gained power and became the leader, their Liu family would probably have to come to an end, so she had to find another way out as soon as possible.

The war in the northwest was still the same. Hou Junji was like a piece of dog skin plaster, pressing tightly outside Yumen Pass. Thirty thousand iron cavalry and one hundred thousand conventional infantry were staring at every move inside Yumen Pass, shouting and scolding every day. As long as Li Ji had a slight change, they would surge up and never stop.

As the commander of the Northwest War, Li Ji did not expect that Hou Junji could gather 130,000 soldiers in Gaochang in such a short time, nor did he expect that the combat power of these soldiers was also strong, which was no less than that of Hou Junji's Tiger and Leopard Camp in the Tang Dynasty.

The troops were equal and the combat power was different. As soon as the war started, the two sides entered a viscous state. It was the most difficult battle that Li Ji had encountered in the past decade. Because Li Ji would sit in the commander's tent until late at night every day, thinking about strategies to fight the enemy.

As for Li Chengqian, since he arrived at Yumen Pass, he has been meticulous in his cultivation and seems to be quite self-aware of the war between the two sides. He never interferes in military affairs and does not interfere with any decisions of Li Ji, except for the regular side of the camp, he stays in his tent all day long. As for what he does in the tent, outsiders don’t know.

In short, the prince does not do military affairs and does not criticize the army. As the commander, Li Ji is naturally the most satisfied. He is still respectful and polite to Li Chengqian. Whenever he has new countermeasures, he will definitely be the first to inform Li Chengqian so that the prince's highness has some plans, so that the emperor will not ask the emperor in the future. He will not know the questions and fail Empress Changsun's thoughts in vain.

There is no need to say that Li Chengqian's intention of following the army despite his serious injuries, Li Ji was also clear in his heart. What's more, Empress Changsun sent someone to send a message before leaving, Li Ji did not dare to neglect it. While ensuring the safety of the prince, he also had to put some credit on his head.

No matter what, this is the future monarch of the country. In the future, Li Ji was not angry, but he did not dare to be rude or negligent.

"Have Your Highness the Crown Prince been here today?" Hearing the clamor outside the city gate, he knew that it was Hou Junji who was ordering someone to call for war again. Li Ji shook his head indifferently, looked around the generals in the lower camp, and asked the deputy general Gao Yue softly.

"Go back to the Grand Marshal," Gao Yue bowed and replied, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has come, but the old troubles on his body have not yet been cured, and he has now returned to the camp to recuperate."

"The prince is injured, and it doesn't matter whether he comes or not. The important thing now is to shut up the Gaochang guys outside the pass! It's really annoying to be so noisy every day!" Li Zhen curled his lips lightly and bowed to Li Ji, saying, "Master, the last general asks for his order to fight!"

"Hou Junji, a man!" Gongsun Helan also came from a battle and bowed and reported to Li Ji loudly: "Master, the last general asks for his order to fight! Vow to take Hou Junji's head!"

Because of Liu Yi's relationship, Gongsun Helan couldn't see Hou Junji, and she had already held a sense of ruthlessness in her heart. She wanted to find the bad luck of Hou Junji. She had fought with this old guy who was said to be born with divine power, but she couldn't beat him. She would even disgust him seriously. Gongsun Helan was quite sure of his current skills.

"The last general asks for his appointment!" "The last general asks for his appointment!"

With Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan taking the lead, the generals in the tent also came out one after another, rushing to ask Li Ji for battle, as if he would not be loyal enough if he didn't come out to express his opinion at this time, and he was afraid of death because of his greed for life and fear of death.

"Nonsense!" Li Ji glared at his eyes, slapped the table, and immediately suppressed the buzzing sound of asking for battle in the tent. Li Ji swept his eyes around and said sternly: "I have a conclusion in my mind when to go to fight, so you can't help but make a fuss!"

After saying that, Li Ji glared at Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan, the two boys who took the lead in making excitement, waved their hand to shout the generals in the tent and returned to defend their defenses, in case Hou Junji took the opportunity to attack the city unprepared.

"Dad!" When the generals retreated, only Li Ji, Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan were left in the camp, Li Zhen spoke directly to Li Ji with some indignation: "Why is this? Everyone else has come to the door, why don't you react at all? It's almost half a month. Apart from the protective battle at the beginning, we have been unable to stick to it. You keep saying letting wait, wait, when will you wait?"

"Yes, Uncle Li," Gongsun Helan also intervened, took Li Zhen's words and said, "Every day when listening to the call of war outside the city, the soldiers below were a little confused. Some people also said that they criticized Uncle Li from the east. If they continued to be so stalemate, the situation of the battle would be unfavorable."

"Calculate the time, they think it's almost here, and it's okay to tell you now." Faced with the questioning of the two little guys, Li Ji shook his head and chuckled indifferently, and then silenced his fingers and said to Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan, "Did you know that ten days ago, after Hou Junji led his people to attack the city without compromising, I had once left the city secretly with someone with a secret order?"

"Didn't it mean that it was a report to the emperor?" Li Zhen and the others looked at each other and nodded slightly. This matter was the hands of theirs. Naturally, they still remembered it, but they didn't know what Li Ji meant when he asked about this matter.

"The report is just a cover." Li Ji shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "My real purpose is the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Su, Gan and Liang."

"Does Uncle Li want them to take a detour?" A flash of inspiration, and Gongsun Helan spoke out.

"Not bad!" Helan looked at Gongsun Helan with satisfaction, and Li Ji nodded and said, "If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of mobilizing the troops of Hou Junji in this city, we would have been able to use this to give Hou Junji a fatal blow."

After enduring for so many days, seeing success coming soon, Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little excited and said to the two boys in front of him: "Tomorrow is the agreed period. At night tomorrow, I will use the open flame on the top of the city to attack at the same time with the defenders of the three states. Don't you two want to go on the field to kill the enemy? Let you kill it tomorrow night!"

"Yes, the Grand Marshal!" Li Zhen and Gongsun Helan both had their eyes shining, and they seemed to be looking forward to tomorrow's show.

"Okay, go down and prepare!" Li Ji waved his hand and said in a word: "I will go to inform His Highness the Crown Prince later, so as not to be confused if I am not prepared."
