The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 369 Allied with Li Kangyang
The camera temporarily shifts to Qinzhou, Xue Ju's capital.Xue Renguo had received the news of his father's defeat at Maweipo two months ago, and asked him to quickly prepare soldiers and horses to come to the rescue.

Xue Renguo was astonished and did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly sent an order to mobilize troops in the name of Prince Linchao. Ten days later, he managed to gather 20 soldiers, horses and food. When he was about to set off, General Jiang Da brought dozens of A relative drove into the prince's mansion, and Jiang Da knelt down in front of him, without saying a word, and took out Xue Ju's imperial edict.

Xue Renguo and others quickly knelt down to accept the order. After seeing his father's will, Xue Renguo realized the seriousness of the problem, and was so anxious that he didn't cry. Was the father injured?Father is trapped?The father is in danger, what should we do?A rare pressure hit him, Xue Renguo felt helpless for the first time.

Later, Xue Renguo forced himself to calm down, read the imperial edict repeatedly three times, and then asked Jiang Da and others about the situation of their former enemies. situation.

Xue Renguo, who originally planned to raise an army, reluctantly withdrew his order again. Yes, the father was right. With his father's bravery and shrewdness, a 30 army, the three major pillar armies, and the great counselor Li Xing, such a powerful camp, are not worthy Yang Yong and Li Jing's opponents, his own 20 people are going to rescue the father, it seems too immature, yes, we must seek foreign aid!
After Xue Renguo made up his mind to pay attention, he quickly drew up three imperial decrees, and asked the three censors to bring their representatives, decrees and generous gifts to Xiao Xian in Jiangnan, Du Fuwei in Jianghuai, and Li Yuan in Bingzhou for help.

Before leaving, Xue Renguo asked the three censors to fulfill their missions, even if they knelt down and begged, if they asked for money for money, land for land, beautiful women and jewels, they would all agree, as long as they were willing to send troops to help us. become.Write down the three censors one by one.

Xue Renguo was still not at ease, and gave the death order again. Those who complete this mission will not lose their position as a prince, otherwise they will come to see you!Also, you have to travel day and night. Rescuing soldiers is like fighting a fire. I will give you one month. After one month, if there is no movement from the three soldiers and horses, you will know the consequences.You just go with peace of mind, your family will take care of me.

On the surface, the three censors were obedient, but grinning in their hearts, as if they had eaten bitter melon, they secretly thought, let these three countries send troops within a month?Can they listen to us?Li Yuan's side is alright, their father and son had a feud with Yang Yong, but Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei and Yang Yong have always kept their peace of mind, so it's too far-fetched for them to send troops to attack Yong?If it doesn't work, we're screwed!Don't look at the high-sounding words of the prince, taking care of our family, but he is actually afraid that we will play tricks, so he put our family under house arrest first.Oops, we've had bad luck for eight lifetimes, how can we be put on such a job, it's really a disaster.It seems that it is a blessing not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, it's true!

The three censors complained incessantly, but they did not dare to resist the order. They took a group of people and waited in a long queue, pulling large carts and small carts. The carts were full of gold, silver and jewels. There are also ten beautiful beauties on the horse, and there are countless good horses, cloth, and silk.

Before leaving, Xue Renguo, Jiang Da, Chu Yun and others went out of the city to see each other off. Seeing that the three teams disappeared at the post station on the road, Xue Renguo felt a little comforted in his heart.

On the same day, he took generals Jiang Da, Chu Yun, and the queen to the Leiyin Temple outside the city to offer incense and make a wish. The queen and Xue Renguo knelt in front of the Buddha statue, burning incense and praying devoutly, praying for Xue Ju's safety.

After returning to the capital (Qinzhou, the capital of Xue Ju), Xue Renguo entered a long waiting period.This wait lasted for 20 days, and the three censors seemed to have discussed it in advance, but there was no news from them all. Xue Renguo was sitting on pins and needles, and the queen washed her face with tears every day.After waiting for another ten days, there is still no response.

Xue Renguo couldn't sit still anymore, and became angry, thinking that the three censors must have run away halfway because they hadn't fulfilled their mission, so he sent an order to tie the three of them and their family to the execution rack outside the Wuchao gate. , to beheaded.

The generals Jiang Da and Chu Yun couldn't bear it, and quickly knelt down to plead for mercy: "His Royal Highness, please calm down. Since the journey is far away, we'll wait a little longer. If we kill a hero by mistake, it will not only chill the hearts of the soldiers, but also leave a bad legacy." It’s too late to regret. Please think twice, Prince.” The civil and military officials also knelt down a lot.

Xue Renguo looked at it, thought about it, and decided to play it.In this way, after another ten long days of waiting, the three censors all came back this time, but their results were mixed.

Both Xiao Xian from Jiangnan and Du Fu from Jianghuai made it clear that they had no enmity with Yang Yongsu, they didn't want to get into this troubled water, they remained neutral, and refused to send troops.

Hearing this, Xue Renguo gritted his teeth and scolded: "Old Xiaotou and Old Dutou are both fucking cowardly. They have never had any hatred. They don't want to get into this troubled water. They are obviously afraid of Yang Yong's influence. They are watching Ben Gong laughs, when the difficulties are over, Ben Gong will definitely wipe them out!"

Li Yuan's response made Xue Renguo see a glimmer of hope, and agreed to join forces to conquer Yang Yong, but the prerequisite was that Xue Ju and his son must surrender to Emperor Gong of Sui, revoke the title of emperor, and accept the imperial court's call for peace.

Xue Renguo calmed down and thought about it, he couldn't be the master of this matter at all, his father Xue Ju was still alive, he was at best a prince, his father was not in front of him, the Xue family's empire was created by his own hands, every bit, every brick The tiles are all the hard work of the father.How can such a big matter be decided by oneself?He wanted to discuss with his father, but there was no chance at all, and he was so anxious that he was on fire.

He suddenly thought of his mother, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the queen. The mother and son sent out the idlers and forced themselves to calm down, and the two discussed countermeasures.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xue Renguo agreed to Li Yuan's conditions, and sent the censor back to Li Yuan to report to Li Yuan, and agreed to raise troops.After the censor left, Xue Renguo was so angry that he beheaded hundreds of members of the other two censors who had not completed their mission, including the innocent servants and children of a few years old. This incident hurts the hearts of the people!
More than half a month later, the censor brought good news about Li Yuan. Li Yuan sent his daughter Li Xiuning and son-in-law Chai Shao to lead [-] troops to Hanoi to attack Tongguan and cooperate with them to attack Yang Yong.Let them raise troops from Tianshui and take Chencang, so that the two sides can attack Wuzhangyuan from front to back.

Xue Renguo is overjoyed, as long as he can save his father, other things will be discussed later.This is also the decree of his mother.

But such delays came and went, and after counting, it was delayed for three months. Xue Renguo asked Chu Yun, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, to lead five thousand cavalry as the vanguard. Yan Liang (son of Yan Xingben) followed closely behind, and 30 people left Qinzhou day and night, walked to Tianshui, and rushed to Chencang...
