Su Dingfang had no loyalty to Liu Heitai. The reason why he followed Liu Heitai was because of Gao Yaxian's wish.
Now that Gao Yaxian has demoted Li Yuanji, he has also demoted Li Yuanji, so Li Yuanji belittled Liu Heitai, but he did not defend Liu Heitai, but fully agreed with Li Yuanji's words.
If Liu Heitai could trust him like Li Yuanji, equip him with some iron armor, and send him some more elite soldiers and horses, he would not be disgraced and included in the camp.
Although Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao have become famous and are vaguely praised as a famous general, under the same conditions, he feels that he may not lose to Qin Qiong.
When Li Yuanji saw that Su Dingfang recognized his words, the smile on his face became even brighter. He pointed boldly at the armored men in the distance and said: "From now on, they will be under your command. Take a look at what they still lack and tell me.
I ordered people to prepare."
Su Dingfang was stunned and quickly refused.
But Li Yuanji said again: "Even if you want to give each of them a horse pole, I will order someone to do it."
Su Dingfang looked at Li Yuanji in shock. He was shocked by Li Yuanji again.
The horse is a top-grade weapon, with a high cost and a long construction period.
When he was young, his father spent all his money to buy him an old pitcher that was used by others.
He continues to use it to this day.
Li Yuanji now said that as long as he nodded, all his men would be equipped with horseshoes.
Li Yuanji's handwriting cannot be described as amazing, it is simply unbelievable.
"breathe……"
Su Dingfang took several deep breaths before calming down.
He felt that what Li Yuanji said was a joke, and the purpose was to reassure him.
He didn't think anyone would have the luxury to use Ma Chao for his ordinary soldiers.
"Your Highness's great love will be borne in mind by Dingfang. Since Dingfang has joined His Highness's disciples, he will definitely follow His Highness loyally."
Su Dingfang bowed his hands and said solemnly.
Li Yuanji appreciated him enough, trusted him enough, and showed considerable sincerity. Naturally, he was willing to follow Li Yuanji sincerely.
As a general, what you want is a lord who can appreciate you and trust you.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, ready to say something, but Su Dingfang said again: "I have just joined His Highness's staff and assumed an important position rashly. Some people must be dissatisfied.
Therefore, I sincerely request Your Highness to take back your order and let me serve as a brigade commander under Your Highness.
Within three years, I will definitely be promoted to the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Second Left Army Command under His Highness by virtue of his meritorious service."
Li Yuanji was full of sincerity towards Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang also responded with considerable sincerity.
When Su Dingfang said this in front of so many people, he was establishing a military order.
Once a military order is issued, if it is not completed, you will have to commit suicide.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment and admired Su Dingfang even more.
Li Yuanji stared at Su Dingfang and smiled: "Are you sure?"
Su Dingfang nodded seriously.
Li Yuanji pondered for a moment, nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, then you can serve as the brigade commander of the third school of Prince Qi's tent house."
Su Dingfang had the bravery to "get into the formation first" and the strategy of "collecting troops to ride and attack". It would be difficult for him to command pure infantry troops and horses, and it would be difficult for him to fully utilize his abilities.
So Li Yuanji thought for a moment and asked Su Dingfang to serve as the brigade commander of the palace's cavalry.
The brigade commander of the palace's cavalry can not only command the palace's cavalry, but when necessary, can also command the troops and horses of the army on the left and right.
Su Dingfang bowed without hesitation: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji nodded and ordered people to take Su Dingfang to see the troops he needed to command first.
After Su Dingfang left, Li Yuanji looked at Gao Yaxian who was still kneeling on the ground.
Gao Yaxian thought Li Yuanji had forgotten about him, and she was cursing in her heart.
When he saw Li Yuanji looking at him, his expression became serious and he straightened his back subconsciously.
Li Yuanji was very generous to Su Dingfang. He felt that since his identity, status and reputation were higher than those of Su Dingfang, Li Yuanji would definitely be more generous to him.
In order to get more troops from Li Yuanji, he had to be more submissive in front of Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji stared at Gao Yaxian with a smile and said: "General Gao, why are you so arrogant in front and so respectful in the back?"
Naturally, Gao Yaxian would not tell Li Yuanji that he coveted the soldiers and horses in Li Yuanji's hands. He deliberately said with a sullen face: "I just hope that your highness can treat Dou Han favorably for the sake of my obedience."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded.
Using Dou Huan as an excuse is indeed a good idea.
But if you, Gao Yaxian, had not committed suicide in front of the camp, I might have believed your lies.
How can a person who doesn't care about life and death surrender so easily?
"I will send someone to take you to Luoyang later. When you arrive in Luoyang, Yu Wenbao will tell you what you should do."
Li Yuanji said with a smile.
Gao Yaxian was stunned and looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment.
Li Yuanji smiled and asked, "Any questions?"
Gao Yaxian hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness should be going to Mingshui City, right?"
Li Yuanji didn't hide anything and nodded.
Gao Yaxian hurriedly said: "Your Highness is going to Mingshui City because he must want to participate in the battle of Mingshui City. I have also stayed under Liu Heitai for some time, and I am quite familiar with Liu Heitai.
If His Highness wants to achieve great success in Mingshui City, I can help His Highness."
"hehe……"
Li Yuanji said with a joking smile: "Then you guessed wrong. I didn't go to Mingshui City to seek any great achievements."
The expression on Gao Yaxian's face froze.
Li Yuanji continued: "I have reached the first rank in officialdom and have been given the title of prince. All my merits are of no use to me.
Liu Heitai should be left to my second brother to deal with him.
After all, he has made a lot of preparations for this."
Gao Yaxian was anxious and wanted to persuade Li Yuanji.
But Li Yuanji didn't give him a chance, "Don't play your tricks in front of me. If it weren't for Su Dingfang's old love for you, you would have died long ago.
After you go to Luoyang, stay well and do whatever Yu Wenbao asks you to do.
If you are obedient, I will ensure that you spend the rest of your life in peace.
If you disobey, I will hand you over to my father.
You should know very well how my father treats you, Dou Jiande's old men."
Gao Yaxian was shocked all over.
Li Yuanji said quietly again: "My father killed you. Even if Su Dingfang wants to complain, he can't blame me."
After saying this, Li Yuanji stopped talking nonsense to Gao Yaxian and ordered a group of guards to take Gao Yaxian to Luoyang.
The reason why Gao Yaxian was not sent to Chang'an was because he was afraid that Li Yuan would kill him if he found out about him.
Li Yuan deeply hated Dou Jiande's old tribe, and wanted to kill Dou Jiande's old tribe who followed Liu Heitai in rebellion.
As soon as Gao Yaxian showed up in Chang'an, it would be strange if Li Yuan didn't kill him.
Su Dingfang had just surrendered, and his kindness to Gao Yaxian was not over yet. Gao Yaxian could not die yet.
Su Dingfang watched from a distance as Li Yuanji sent someone to send Gao Yaxian away, and hurriedly ran to Li Yuanji.
Before Su Dingfang could speak, Li Yuanji explained: "I can trust you, but not him. After all, before this, he kept calling me Li Ni.
What we are going to this time is Gaofen. Not far from Gaofen is Liu Heitai’s military camp.
Once the news leaks out, we are likely to be surrounded by Liu Heita's army.
For the sake of your life and mine, I sent someone to send him to Luoyang first."
Su Dingfang felt much relieved when he heard Li Yuanji's words.
Li Yuanji added: "Don't worry, no matter what I say, Gao Yaxian is a surrendered general that I personally recruited. I can't possibly harm him."
When Su Dingfang heard this, he was completely relieved.
If Li Yuanji reneges on his promise to surrender, who will dare to surrender him in the future?
Su Dingxiang saluted Li Yuanji and prepared to return to the team.
Li Yuanji stopped him, ordered someone to make a simple stretcher, and carried him to Gaofen.
On the road.
Qu Tutong approached Li Yuanji and asked, "His Highness seems to think highly of Su Dingfang? I don't see anything different about Su Dingfang?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Qu Tutong and smiled calmly: "Even if Su Dingfang dies, he will keep him elegant, virtuous and considerate. If such a person is under my account, if he encounters danger in the future, he can also keep me safe."
Naturally, Li Yuanji could not tell the truth to Qu Tutong, so he could only point to Su Dingfang's loyalty.
Qu Tutong didn't believe a word he said, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Li Yuanji first issued the order to capture alive, and then took away Su Dingfang and Gao Yaxian among thousands of surrendered generals. After Su Dingfang chose to surrender, he generously entrusted Su Dingfang with important tasks.
If he guessed correctly, Li Yuanji was going for Su Dingfang from the beginning.
The purpose is quite clear.
Gao Yaxian is obviously an extra.
Li Yuanji refused to tell him, and he was sure he didn't want to tell him the reason why he didn't want to ask further.
However, on the way to Gaofen, he observed Su Dingfang carefully, trying to see what was in Su Dingfang that was worthy of Li Yuanji's plot.
When the gastrodia is bright.
Braving wind and snow, the group finally arrived at Gaofeng and hid in a dense forest at the foot of Gaofeng.
Outside the dense forest is Mingshui City.
From a distance, everyone could hear the sound of trumpets coming from Mingshui City, as well as bursts of bow strings and screams.
The scouts quietly went out to investigate and reported to Li Yuanji when they came back.
"Your Highness, Liu Heitai sent people to build a corridor in the northeast of Mingshui City despite the wind and snow, and it has begun to take shape."
Li Yuanji had no reaction when he heard this.
After Qu Tutong heard this, his brows furrowed.
Once Liu Heitai built the corridor, it would not be that easy for them to attack Liu Heitai secretly.
The corridor can not only help Liu Heitao attack Mingshui City, but also help Liu Heitao resist them.
The heavy snow has already accumulated one and a half feet high, but it still has no intention of stopping. It will only accumulate higher as it goes on.
When the snow fell more than two feet, even if they rushed out to attack Liu Heitai, it would be difficult for them to quickly reach Liu Heitai's soldiers and horses, posing a threat to Liu Heitai, and even harder to create an escape opportunity for Luo Shixin.
"Your Highness...please allow me to lead the army into the city..."
