Li Yong looked at the sky not far away. Before the sun rose, the darkness had gradually faded.

Du Yu walked to Li Yong.

Li Yong said: "The fourth uncle took Cui Qing to Pinglu and will definitely fight with the Jiang family. I will find a way to capture several border towns of the Khitan. Once the Khitan wants to negotiate and fight, we can learn from them that the whole story of the Pinglu battle. The old general Cui did not die at the hands of the enemy, but was framed by Jiang Ran."

It sounds like a good idea, but it is very dangerous to attack the Khitan city. There are not many soldiers and horses in Hebei Road... What's more, there are Tubo staring at it fiercely.

Du Yu frowned and said, "Third Master is a bit too dangerous."

Li Yong looked calm and a sense of firmness appeared in his eyes: "Now we have enough food and supplies, and the Duke of the Guardian is here. Although there are strong enemies, it is also a good time to stabilize the border. If we don't take action, we are afraid that Tubo will invade Pinglu when retreating troops. This will become a burden for the Fourth Uncle. If you ask someone to send the news to the Fourth Uncle, the battle report from Hebei will be delivered soon."

Du Yu was shocked. Before the Third Master arrived, he had already made such a decision.

After Li Yong finished speaking, he went to lead the horse, turned around and looked deeply at the village where Ji Yanran was staying: "Protect Yanran."

This glance made his heartstrings fluctuate again.

He didn't expect that he would be so worried about someone again.

When he suspected that Yanran was related to Princess Changning, he tried hard to recall the situation when he first met Princess Changning. He suffered from severe coldness. The princess brought the imperial doctor to treat him. In a daze, he heard Princess Changning and his fourth uncle say that the spirit in his eyes was somewhat similar to that in Uncle Fourth.

If Yanran is really Princess Changning, then the reason why she accepted him was because of the shadow of the fourth uncle in some places.

Yanran was just making a subconscious choice.

If this is true, he is just the shadow of Uncle Fourth when he was young.

Li Yong's heart suddenly hurt. Self-denial was like cutting a wound in his heart. He shouldn't think about it like this, but he just couldn't control himself and guessed over and over again.

She will be happy and sad because of her subtle actions.

Although he sometimes feels sad and heartache, he also feels unprecedented joy.

As long as he thought of her, he couldn't help but raise his lips, as if there would never be anything that would make him sad again from now on.

I hope to stay with her, have children, and live a peaceful life.

No matter how much you work hard for this, you will never regret it.

I will never lose, because no matter what the result is, my heart of joy will never change.

...

Li Yong is really crazy.

Lin Rang stood on the city wall and watched Li Yong lead his troops to fight with the Khitans. Amid the rumbling of war drums, the Khitans wanted to resist hard, but in the end they fled again with their armor abandoned.

Li Yong won again, and the Khitans' fighting spirit became weaker and weaker. If this happens a few times, the Khitans will completely retreat.

Ji Chengen's eyes were bright and he immediately said, "Hurry open the city gate and welcome my son-in-law of the Ji family." When he saw Li Yong before, he saw Li Yong's handsome face. He only felt that this person was a talented person, which was remarkable. Now he realized that Li Yong's real strength was not this naughty look.

Those who can take responsibility and sacrifice their lives to guard the pass are at least worth entrusting.

Even if Yanran had not married Li Yong before, he would want such a good son-in-law when he saw this scene.

More than a dozen bowls of wine had been prepared in the military tent in the city. Li Yong and a few soldiers came in. Everyone picked up the wine bowls. After drinking them, they would leave the city again tonight, but they would come back if they didn't defeat the Khitans. They would conquer the Khitans all the way and take the Khitans' city.

After discussing the tactics, several soldiers walked out of the tent first.

"Be careful." Ji Chengen couldn't help but instruct Li Yong.

"Don't worry, father-in-law," Li Yong bowed, "I promised Yanran would come back safely after winning."

Ji Chengen nodded repeatedly: "Go, as long as you win the battle, after you return to Beijing in the future, I will tell the girl that you should not say anything about separation easily."

"Just sold my daughter like this?"

When Li Yong left, General Wei patted Ji Chengen's shoulder and said, "Who was it that he heard that Li Yong had not returned home for three years and was so angry that he stamped his feet. If he could go back to Beijing, he would definitely take his daughter back to his parents' home immediately and beat that kid up again."

Ji Chengen looked natural: "How can I be considered selling my daughter? I have half a child." At least now, no matter how I look at this son-in-law, he is very satisfied.

...

Li Yue rubbed the chess in his hand and slowly fell down. Cui Qing was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. After they returned to Pinglu, they began to rectify the soldiers left by the Cui family in Pinglu.

Although everything went smoothly, you could still see the scouts of Tubo and Khitan outside the border town. If a war broke out at this moment, they would only have half the chance of winning at most.

Cui Qing has not yet figured out how many people there are in Li Yue's hands that can be used.

"Fourth Uncle," Cui Qing called Li Yue according to Li Yong's seniority, "Should we integrate our troops? The situation outside the city may be in a day or two."

"No," Li Yue raised his head, his clear eyes as if the sky was indescribable after the rain. "There should be a war report on Hebei Road soon. The Khitans will retreat with their troops, and Pinglu will not start a war."

Cui Qing looked surprised.

Li Yue said: "If they were preparing to raise troops, they would not have just two scouts inquiring around. The Khitan camp moved eastward for thirty miles, and they were ready to return to Hebei Road at any time."

After saying that, Li Yue leaned lazily on the pillow: "Now send the memorial to the Jiang family to Beijing, and Pinglu is back to your Cui family."

What Li Yue had predicted was never wrong. It sounded like a casual saying, but it had an unquestionable majesty.

Cui Qing smiled unconsciously and stepped forward to bow to the ground: "Fourth uncle, the Cui family will not forget the kindness of the Li family. You... We will remember your help in our hearts. If you have the chance in the future, you will definitely be able to do whatever you want."

"Don't think of my love," Li Yue raised his eyes, "It was Li Yong's credit that he led his troops to attack the Khitan to have such a situation."

Cui Qing nodded and looked at Li Yue carefully again. Li Yue obviously didn't want to say anything more, so he didn't dare to ask again and quietly retreated.

Cui Qing went out, and the people around Li Yue came forward to report: "Du Yu has returned from sending the letter, and Miss Ji has already met someone in Dingzhou."

This girl really doesn't know what she is looking for.

Just let it go, maybe she will rely on her own efforts to figure out everything.
