Li Shimin was stunned for a long time and asked a question that seemed to be not the point: "Did Jingshi Li see there?"

That's what it said.

"Of course not."

Before the sick child in the school was answered, Li Yao's voice suddenly came from behind Li Shimin: "The officials know a little bit of the magical arts. There is no need to see such a serious injury."

Li Shimin's expression was inexplicably relaxed, and he turned around and nodded, "So that's the case, I'm sorry, I'm worried."

Li Yao blushed with guilt, and hurriedly bowed and bowed in disguise, "You are polite, lord."

In fact, she only planned to scare the Turkic man first and then arrest him. But she didn't know that the other party would be in trouble. Such a flower blooms, eggs cover the birds fly, how could it be so painful

After this, Li Yao urgently needed to complete his official duties and private work, so he was unwilling to stay here for a long time. Li Shimin also urgently needed to return to the army to repair it. The two sides agreed to return to Beijing to visit each other in the future, so they bid farewell and went to the north and south.

In order to make up for the delayed half a day, Li Yao and his party rode their horses and finally arrived in Gancheng before sunset.

Guancheng is a purely militarized fortress, about five miles long from east to west, about four miles wide from north to south, and about two meters high. Each wall has two city gate towers. There is a half-moon-shaped urn outside the city gate. The urnn is a circle of three meters wide and a moat that is two meters deep. The river water is directed from the Hutuo River two miles east of the city, and a water embankment is built. It can be said that it is a city with cities and cities, protecting each other layer by layer. In this era of cold weapons, it can definitely be regarded as a place that is as solid as a place.

When they returned to this place, the Liu brothers seemed very excited and rushed to the city gate with a quick whip.

At this time, the city gate was closed, but the guards on the gate tower recognized them at a glance. The Liu brothers were squeezing the reins in front of the moat. After Li Yao and others followed, they saw the suspension bridge slowly lowering. Then the city gate opened and a large group of people came out from it. Almost everyone had tears in their eyes. As soon as they met, they rushed to Liu Shirang, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Congratulations to the general manager for restoring his innocence and returning safely."

"Everyone, please get up quickly."

Liu Shi asked to dismount his horse and help him with a bow, then pointed at Li Yao, and said, "This is the Censor Li Yao and Li who came to supervise the army by the order, and is also the savior of the two brothers of Liu."

When the welcomers heard this, they immediately felt awe-inspiring. Many people knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and called their benefactor. Li Yao repeatedly said that he didn't dare to take it.

That night, a grand celebration banquet was held in Dongcheng. Li Yao and his party were most enthusiastic for the officers and soldiers. Although this so-called banquet was actually just barbecue around the fire, the roasting method similar to that of later generations, as well as many wild game from Daibei, such as badgers, deer, stone chicken, grass rabbit, quail, etc., still made Li Yao, who was not happy with meat, enjoyed a meal.

Because there was no alcohol in the army, Li Yao had a good night's sleep. The next day, he got up early in the morning. After finishing his whole bundle, he called Lan Shaoying and all the staff of Dongfeng Hall, carried their knives and bows, and carried three days' rations, and rode directly to the gate of the Daizhou General Administration.

At this time, Liu Shirang had also been completely renewed. He was wearing a black tassel iron helmet, a bright light armor, an iron spear in his hand, a horizontal knife in his waist, an iron mace in his back, and a combat boots in his feet, leading a team of strong armored soldiers out of the horse.

As soon as the two sides met, Liu Shirang raised his hand and pointed the people behind him, and said to Li Yao boldly: "Mr. Liu's scout camp is all warriors. During this mission, they will temporarily belong to you."

After the sound came to an end, Liu Shi asked a young captain with a thin face to go up and clasp his fists and said loudly: "Zhao Huaijie, the captain of the scout camp of the Daizhou General Administration, has met the Censor Li."

Li Yao smiled and said with a politician: "I'm sorry, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Strictly speaking, the military supervisor's job is just to inspect generals and schoolmen, and does not have the power to directly command the army, so Li Yao can only use cooperation to avoid both sides from falling into a handle.

As soon as Li Yao finished the ceremony, he rode again on the street. The man wore a turtle head, a red robe, and a gold belt on his waist. He was the acting governor Shi Xu Luoren.

Because Liu Shirang had only one temporary military position and had not yet recovered his official title, Xu Luoren was currently a figure in Wancheng.

Xu Luoren walked closer and got off his horse neatly. Then he took out a piece of talisman and a document from his waist and handed it to Li Yao. After he said solemnly: "Every pass can be passed by holding this talisman and all the passes. The Censor can obtain 100 pairs of Turkic leather armor from Yanmen Pass with this document, but please try to return it to the original owner in full afterwards."

At the banquet last night, Li Yao, Liu Shirang, Xu Luoren and other senior officials in the city, had reached an agreement on the action plan to resolve the Heshuo crisis after some exchanges.

Xu Luoren naturally responded to the conditions proposed by Li Yao and tried his best to help.

After all, they all know the habits of grassland tribes very well.

The cold winter is approaching. If the Turks do not want to be frozen to death outside the city, or run out to do something in vain, they will definitely launch the most fierce attack on Mayi in the near future.

Moreover, since the beginning of the month, Mayi has been besieged by the Turks for more than two months. There are too many people in the city and there are too few food, so I am afraid I can't hold on for long.

Li Yao nodded and said, "The lower official understands."

Seeing that the instructions were finished, Liu Shirang stepped on the horse on the stirrup, and raised his whip to lead the way for Li Yao and his men and others, and rode their horses straight for Yanmen.

Yanmen is about fifty miles away from Gancheng. Since Li Yao and others left early, they arrived at the bottom of Yanmen Pass just after noon.

The world is surrounded by nine barriers, and Yanmen is the one.

Yanmen Pass is the most important pass on the Great Wall. The mountains and rocks on both sides of the east and west are as steep as walls. With the technical conditions of this era, ordinary people cannot climb over it. The road is winding and narrow, and only two horses can pass through it in parallel. The solid city stands at the highest point of the road. The city gates have two levels, both of which are reinforced by iron bars. It can be said that one man should be the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

However, since the Tang Dynasty, Yanmen has been lost several times, and the Turkic cavalry can still go deep into the Tang territory, plunder materials, and harm the Tang people.

It can be seen from this that under the huge gap in military strength, the dangerous passes cannot play a big role.

Every time the Turks entered the pass, in addition to killing all the soldiers of the Yanmen Pass, they did their best to destroy the pass. However, this time, the Turks Chijishe and their thousands of light cavalry invaded Hedong from Feihu Valley, the grassland, which was further north, to the north. Therefore, the Yanmen Pass that has been continuously rebuilt has an opportunity to strengthen and repair.

As soon as Li Yao arrived here, he saw a feminine but heroic familiar face. It was the princess of Luling Princess Qiao Shiwang.

At this time, Master Qiao looked over his helmet and armor, holding a sword in his hand, and was patrolling the pass. When he saw Liu Shirang, Li Yao and others coming, he was startled, then he was happy, and hurriedly came forward and greeted with a smile: "When Qiao can see General Liu at this moment, I guess I have found out the truth today. It's really awesome, it's a joyful congratulation." Then he noticed that Li Yao, wearing a light yellow robe, felt his eyebrows and eyes seemed familiar, and he couldn't help but bow and asked, "Hey, this man is."

Li Yao smiled slightly, and called out loudly with the cheerful young man's voice: "Brother-in-law"
