The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 899: Appeasing Hou Junji

Gu She saw the situation clearly, and then looked at the battle-hardened elite soldiers behind him and the endless grassland around him. In such an environment, even if the enemy had an ambush and he could not win, he could still escape calmly and there would be no fatal danger.

So he made up his mind and said, "Captain Biheli, our great leader is waiting for you in the camp in the Irtysh Valley. I will send 40,000 troops to escort you. As for these slave soldiers, leave them to me."

"One hundred thousand heads is a great achievement!"

After saying that, Gu She excitedly called over several captains and ordered, "You guys, escort the leader of the army, Bi Heli, to retreat first."

Then he winked and asked a few people to keep an eye on Bi Heli and not let the old man run away with so much treasure.

They had communicated before and everyone knew what they were here for, so they understood Gu She's intention very well and nodded in tacit understanding.

Seeing that Biheli's army was heading south, Gu She divided the remaining 160,000 troops into two legions.

A force of 80,000 men quickly encircled the 100,000-strong army in the distance from the east and west.

When the slave soldiers here saw Xue Yan's army forming a battle formation and attacking them, they were so scared that they turned pale and began to turn around and flee.

These people were indeed from the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and many of them didn't even have the most basic riding skills. In such a panic, people were crowded together, and horses were piled up against each other. Before the enemy came up, the people were in chaos. Except for a few people at the back edge, most of the people were squeezed in place and unable to move.

Gu She, who was far away, felt relieved when he saw this scene.

The performance of these people was consistent with what Bi Heli said. They were just a formality, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not a well-trained army. Besides, it was only a distance of more than ten miles. Even if they were experienced cavalrymen, they would be in chaos if they dared to show such a chaotic appearance.

It will also backfire and end in failure.

Such a short distance was reached in a flash. Looking down from the sky, the two armies of Gu She were like two sharp arrows shot from a bow, carrying an indomitable murderous aura and fiercely pouring into the "waist and abdomen" of the slave army.

The attack made the slave army, which was already in chaos, even more chaotic.

When they broke into the camp, the soldiers under Gu She were like tigers among a flock of sheep. With the brandishing of their steel knives, large groups of slave soldiers fell in a pool of blood. As the spears went in and out, living lives fell off their horses.

In such an intense fight, anyone who leaves their horse will be instantly crushed into meat paste.

After beheading dozens of people with his own hands, Gu She saw the terrified expressions on the faces of the other soldiers and the one-sided situation on the scene, and laughed crazily: "The Turkic Khanate is really useless. Killing these people is easier than killing cattle and sheep."

"I think this Right Wise King is really stupid. How can these people go to the battlefield? Even if they are transporting food and grass and raising cattle and sheep in the rear, it is better than rushing to the battlefield!"

Gu enjoyed the shooting very much. His blood was boiling and sweat was soaking through his clothes. It had been a long time since he had fought such an easy battle.

After killing a few more soldiers, the blood from their necks splashed onto his face. Gu She looked up with a look of disgust, stretched out his left hand to wipe the blood off his face, and when he opened his eyes again, he suddenly saw two black shadows circling above his head.

Looking more closely, I saw two falcons flying together in the sky high above.

"No, I fell into a trap!"

Gu She grew up on the grassland and was very familiar with this situation. It was clearly a carrier eagle raised by the army, a very common type on the grassland. He could even tell the information it was reporting at a glance.

An eagle is scouting the enemy situation, and circling in the same place indicates that the enemy's heavy forces are gathering.

The two eagles circling and circling each other meant that two armies were fighting, which was clearly a signal to the army in the distance.

Gu She looked at the army in front of him that had no ability to resist at all, and immediately understood that this was the bait thrown to him by the other party.

"Quick, sound the gong and withdraw the troops!"

Gu She was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He was shouting hysterically to the messenger. His heart was filled with regret. He regretted that he was so greedy and wanted to eat up this army. He didn't know when these two carrier eagles appeared.

But he knew that he had to evacuate immediately because it was already very dangerous here!

The arrogance that Gu She had just had disappeared without a trace, and he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. A huge sense of fear surged like a tide, weighing heavily on his heart. Gu She stretched his neck desperately and looked around, trying to see what was going on in all directions.

But he had charged too hard and was now trapped in the enemy camp. The soldiers around him were all swinging their swords wildly and killing people. There were sounds of swords and guns clashing and the most primitive roars of wild beasts everywhere. Even the soldiers behind him were rushed to who knows where.

This one-sided massacre deeply stimulated everyone's most primitive murderous nature, making them immersed in it. No one even cared about Gu She who was shouting wildly in the crowd.

Gu She felt cold all over, his face was pale, and he ignored the noise around him. He was in great fear. Although he was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, he felt difficulty breathing, and the depression in his heart seemed to suffocate him. At this moment, from the east and west, two large-scale cavalry teams appeared like tigers descending from the mountains, which Gu She could not see.

One group was led by Li Yan himself, and the other was led by Gu Rentu. Each group had a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses. They were so dense that there was no end in sight, like two dark clouds pressing down from the horizon, encircling them from two directions.

The deployment was exactly the same as Gu She’s previous one, except that the number of people was doubled.

The moment they saw the battlefield, the two armies were like a pack of hungry wolves in the dark night discovering their prey.

Started to rush to the battlefield madly
The crowd finally noticed the movements on both sides, but only some soldiers on the periphery noticed it. Most people were trapped in the battle formation, only caring about killing and turning a deaf ear to the changes in the outside world. Gu She looked at the chaotic army in front of him and wailed in despair.

He knew that these 160,000 people were finished!

It's over for me too!
Chang'an Taiji Palace, Chengqing Hall.

Li Shimin was here entertaining Hou Junji, the former General of the Right Guard, who had just returned from Liaodong Road in response to the imperial edict.

"Jun Ji, you are finally back!"

Li Shimin enthusiastically took Hou Junji's hand and sat down, and said to him half out of utilitarianism and half out of true love: "You have been in Liaodong for more than a year. I miss you so much."

"Come and sit down, let me take a good look at you."

"Yes, Jun Ji, if Lord Changsun had not repeatedly requested for your retention, the emperor would have summoned you back to the capital long ago!" Fang Xuanling, who was accompanying him on the side, greeted with a smile.

Later, we will persuade Hou Junji to go to the north as an envoy. We will have to give up a lot of benefits to win over the Right Wise King. Some of the conditions will inevitably undermine the majesty of the Heavenly Khan. These things cannot be said directly by Li Shimin, the emperor, and can only be said through Fang Xuanling.

Hou Junji knew in his heart that Li Shimin was probably trying to call him back to punish him for letting the Right Wise King escape. Changsun Wuji had helped him delay the case several times, until this time Li Shimin gave the death order. Changsun Wuji had no choice but to let him come back.

Seeing Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling smiling, it was a little different from what he expected, and Hou Junxie was a little surprised. But that matter could not be avoided. If you stick your head out, you will get a knife. If you hide your head, you will get a knife too. Instead of dodging, it is better to face it actively.

Thinking of this, Hou Junji took the initiative to bring it up, kneeling down and asking for forgiveness: "Your Majesty relied on important officials so much and entrusted the affairs of Liaodong to me, but because of my eagerness for merit, I let the wise king escape. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling smiled at each other. Although Hou Junji had already been dealt with, as he was still accepting the punishment, the next thing would be easy to handle.

Both of them are good at employing people and governing officials, so they naturally know that it is better to use them than to make them work.

"Jun Ji, that matter has already passed. Didn't we agree not to mention it?"

Li Shimin stepped forward and pulled up the ashamed Hou Junji, began to show mercy, and sat down again and said: "I am also a commander, I know that things on the battlefield change rapidly, and no one can judge the outcome until the final conclusion."

"The auxiliary machine told me everything about Liaodong."

"We surrounded the Right Wise King in order to force him to surrender. Liaodong City has plenty of food and grass, and the three Liaodong kingdoms are waiting for the army to take over. We really can't fight the Right Wise King to death there. It's understandable that you want to lure him in and annihilate him."

"We can only blame the Right Wise King for being too cunning. There is no need to mention this matter again."

Then, Li Shimin's face darkened, and he began to talk about the war in the north: "The Right Wise King has already established his power. He has sidelined Shiluodi and taken control of all the Turkic troops. He has mobilized 800,000 troops and launched an attack on our Anbei Grand Military Governor's Office."

"Mobei is thousands of miles away from here, and the Right Wise King has a large number of troops."

"By the time we in the Tang Dynasty received the message, the army of Biheli had already been defeated, and he led the remnants to retreat to Xueyantuo's territory. Yi Nan also transferred 300,000 cavalry from the northwest to Jinshan on the pretext of defending against the Right Wise King."

"There are millions of troops gathered in the area of ​​Yu Dujun Mountain right now, and the war is looming, ready to break out at any moment, so I have no choice but to transfer you back from Liaodong to deal with the crisis."

Hou Junji then understood why the emperor urgently summoned him back to the capital, and his heart was greatly encouraged. He did not expect that the Crown Prince would act so quickly. In less than a year since he returned to the grassland from Liaodong City last year, he had accomplished such a big thing.

The power held by his subordinates has already made Tian Khan, who is far away in Chang'an, feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, this matter is originally my fault, so naturally I have to make amends."

Hou Junji knew that no matter how big the Crown Prince's moves were on the grassland, he could not possibly defeat the Tang Dynasty, so he was very calm about it, and had a sense of superiority that he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk, and he immediately patted his chest to show his loyalty.

"My life belongs to your majesty. As long as your majesty orders me to do so, I will not hesitate to die even if I have to go through fire and water. Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as I am alive, I will not allow the Right Wise King to invade Chang'an with a single soldier."
