Chapter 851 Xue Rengui comes out of the mountain

In the past few days, Liu Yi's life has been very uncomfortable. First, I heard that the prince sent someone to send a war report from the northwest to use him, Liu Yi as an exchange to quell the war between the two countries of Tang and Gao. Although this matter was refuted by Li Shimin on the dynasty, Liu Yi felt very uncomfortable after hearing about this matter. It was so far away that he could not stop others from calculating him. The sense of crisis that had been archived in his heart once again made him feel cold all over, and he had the urge to never wait any longer.

Of course, that's not all. The next morning, I heard news about Gongsun Helan's murder and detention. The eunuch who killed the prince, and fortunately, was caught by Li Chengqian and captured the stolen person.

Then, that night, while everyone was still digesting the shocking news from the front line, the report from Grand Marshal Li Ji followed one after another. Crown Prince Li Chengqian rebelled, colluded with foreign thieves, framed the goalkeeper Gongsun Helan, and attempted to attack Yumen Pass at night. Although he was discovered, he was lost to Yumen Pass by Li Chengqian's second report.

Yumen Pass was lost, and Li Ji was retreating to Suzhou with more than 60,000 defeated soldiers in his hands. After Hou Junji captured Yumen Pass, he personally led the cavalry to chase after him. On the day Li Ji and his party arrived in Suzhou, Hou Junji also followed him with his 30,000 iron cavalry. The situation was just like when he was at Yumen Pass, which made Li Ji trapped in Suzhou and could not advance or retreat.

The report Li Ji's reply was both apologizing for the crime and seeking help. The current Suzhou City is full of internal and external troubles. Outside, there are tens of thousands of Gaochang troops led by Hou Junji, and inside, there are the old prince's subordinates who are hiding where they are waiting for an opportunity. The 60,000 remaining troops led by Li Ji and the thousands of soldiers stationed locally in Suzhou City were really tired of dealing with it, and the chance of victory was slim.

When Li Shimin received this news, he was naturally extremely angry. It was not because of the loss of Yumen Pass or because Li Ji, who had high hopes, that he had suffered a defeat, but because he once again tasted the taste of being rebelled by his son.

First, then Li You, now it's the eldest son Li Chengqian's turn. Why, Li Shimin couldn't understand why these sons would repeatedly engage in rebellious acts? Do they just want to take their father and replace them, and even take the life of their own father?

Compared to Li Shimin's anger and depression, Liu Yiu felt much better after hearing the news. Although it was very different from the historical records, Li Chengqian eventually turned against him. He broke away from the identity of the crown prince of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty and the strong protection of the two bosses Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. Even if he joined forces with Hou Junji, he had tens of thousands of Gaochang soldiers under his command, it was not worth worrying.

"Young Master, Your Highness, King Jin has arrived." While thinking, Chen Mingze came in from outside the courtyard and bowed to report to Liu Yi.

"Well, you go down first." He waved his hand at Chen Mingze. Liu Yi looked up at King Li Zhi, who was following Chen Mingze, and signaled him to sit next to him. Liu Yi asked him in a low voice: "Do you know why your teacher calls you here this time?"

"I'm not very clear, but I can guess some of it." Li Zhi bowed and replied, "But the failure of the war in the Northwest?"

"The prince rebelled and Yumen Pass was lost. Under Hou Junji's pressing step by step, General Li Ji was already struggling to advance and retreat." He nodded slightly, and Liu Yi asked in turn: "At this time, if you were the lord of a country, how would you make a decision?"

"Uh?" Li Zhi looked at Liu Yiyi in surprise. After thinking for a moment, he replied softly: "Students dare not make a mistake in the father's intentions. However, if the student is in charge, they will definitely send troops to reinforce and ease the commander, so that General Li Ji can be in Suzhou and Ganzhou as much as possible to stop the pace of Gaochang's invasion."

"Speaking of this, you have been learning equestrians with Wang Anhou for nearly a month." Liu Yiu picked up the tea bowl and asked Li Zhi another question casually: "What have you gained in taming horses this month?"

"Student is stupid," he never understood the thoughts and plans implicit in Liu Yi's words, but Li Zhi still bent down respectfully and replied: "Although he has been with Master Wang An for more than a month, he has only learned some fur when riding and shooting, which is still far from Master Wang An's request."

"How to tame war horses?" Ignoring Li Zhi's modest and polite words, Liu Yi asked directly.

"Pirring a horse is like steering a man," Li Zhi was not polite when he heard the master ask, and replied directly: "Use food, use voice control, and use whip to scare. Over time, when the horse develops the habit, it will be easy to make the horse move with the sound and the people and horses unite."

"Well, it's very good." Hearing the answer Li Zhi said, Liu Yi nodded slightly with satisfaction, slowly put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and said to Li Zhi in a low voice: "After today, don't come to school to study again."

"Master, why is this?" Li Zhi stood up nervously from the chair and looked at Liu Yi in confusion. Why was it so good? The master actually started to drive him out.

"It's not just you, but Fu Chen and others also heard that they were all like this." As he said that, Liu Yiu took out a book from his arms, put it on the table and handed it to Li Zhi, and said in a low voice: "This 'Emperor's Heart Art' is the last gift you will give to you. After you go back, you may study it carefully. It may be of great use in the future."

"Yes, master." Li Zhi stretched out his hands to pick up the book. He looked up at Liu Yi with some reluctance: "I wonder if students can come to the mansion to visit often in the future?"

"I have to go out for a long trip to the far gate in the past two days. It is still unknown whether I can come back. Even if you come, I will not see you." Seeing that Li Zhi seemed to have seen something, Liu Yi refused and said to Li Zhi: "Before leaving, some words are something that I want to explain to you. As for whether to do it or not, it is up to you."

"Master, please speak!"

"The prince rebelled, Yumen Pass was lost, General Li Ji was struggling in Suzhou, and the city was broken again at any time, so the emperor would definitely send troops to the northwest to increase his troops in the past few days. If possible, I hope you can rush there." Looking at Li Zhi, Liu Yi said, "When you go, remember to take Wang An with you. If necessary, you may get unexpected gains."

"This..." Li Zhi couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.

"The words have been made clear. As for whether to do it or not, you can think about it yourself, or ask Zhao Gongcun for advice when you go back." After that, Liu Yi picked up the tea bowl and said softly to Li Zhi: "Okay, let's get to this day, and I won't keep you as a teacher."

"Yes, master!" Li Zhi stood up after hearing this, bowed to Liu Yipeng, and said, "Take care, the student will leave!"

"Young Master, Xue Rengui has arrived and has been waiting in the side room for a long time." Seeing Li Zhi leave the palace, Chen Mingzhe went into the hall again to report to their young master.

"Well, let him come in." Liu Yi nodded and ordered.

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" After a while, Xue Rengui walked into the hall, bowed and bowed to Liu, and asked directly: "I wonder what happened to Mr. Hurry, who is anxious to call Rengui here this time?"

"Sit down and talk." Move Xue Rengui to sit down, Liu Yiuan poured a cup of tea for him, and asked him warmly: "Brother Xue, do you still remember how many days have you been to the mansion?"

He took the tea with both hands, and Xue Rengui replied: "It has been two years since I realized that I have been in the process of taking care of Mr. in the past two years, otherwise Rengui would be afraid that he will still be worried about food and clothing."

"Brother Xue is so serious. I have suffered from the fact that Brother Xue is by his side in the past two years. Only then can I keep that boy Erjo safe and worry-free." Liu You said slowly: "Brother Xue has a gully in his chest and a powerful body. It is really my fault that I have to keep Brother Xue crouched in the palace."

"Mr. I am so ruthless. Eating the king's salary and loyalty to the king are things that are both conspiracy and wishful thinking. Why should I blame myself?" Xue Rengui, who saw that Liu Yi seemed to have something to say, could not stand this polite remark and said directly to Liu Yi: "Mr. I have something to say, but I can say it bluntly. If there is an order, as long as Rengui can do, he will not refuse."

"Haha," Seeing Xue Rengui's straightforward nature, Liu Yi nodded with a smile and said in a gentle voice: "Just just now, Brother Xue is powerful and guarding the house. It is not the right way for Brother Xue. There is a great opportunity now, which is enough to make Brother Xue stand out. I wonder if Brother Xue wants to leave the mountain?"

"What the sir said is, is the situation in the northwest war?" Seeing Liu Yi nodding, Xue Rengui said in a deep voice: "The opportunity is good, but the three-year period is not over, and the second young master still needs someone to guard him. How could Rengui leave now and do such a treacherous act?"

"If this is the case, Brother Xue doesn't have to take it to heart," Liu Yiuan said with a gentle chuckling: "I tried my best to invite Brother Xue to Chang'an. First, I knew Brother Xue was very talented and could not bear to be busy with his livelihood; second, there were indeed hidden dangers in the mansion at that time, and I urgently needed a martial arts man like Brother Xue to protect him."

"Now, the crisis in Liu's mansion has been eliminated, and there are also official guards on Ertou, so safety is worry-free." As he said that, Liu Yiu bowed and said to Xue Rengui: "Now is the time of national crisis, and it is also the best time for Brother Xue to become an official. If I don't let Brother Xue leave at this time, then I will be seriously guilty."

"Do you know who the little prince who just left the mansion?" Without giving Xue Rengui a chance to shirk, Liu Yi asked Xue Rengui in turn.

"Listen to Manager Chen's words," Xue Rengui said: "It's Mr. Li Zhi, the King of Jin."

"He will follow the reinforcements in the past two days to the northwest," Liu Yi said: "If Brother Xue does not abandon him, I can write a letter as a recommendation. I wonder what Brother Xue thinks?"
