Although he already knew it, when he heard Pei Ji mention Er Zhu Yichen, Lu Chengji's letter, and mention Li Shan to Pei Shiju in a really arrogant tone, Li Dewu blurted out immediately.
Pei Shiju's gray eyebrows trembled slightly, and he chuckled: "Not only did he survive, but he was also able to defeat it. This battle will be remembered in history."
Pei Ji was a little surprised by Li Dewu's attitude, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. The battle spread to Chang'an, and countless people were stunned. Eight hundred warriors broke into the camp, cut down the Khan flag, chased Jieli, and defeated the Turks. This must be left to future generations.
A legend.
Li Dewu also found that he had lost his voice. He calmed down and cursed Jieli Khan in his heart for being such a waste... This thought was exactly the same as Pei Shiju's, but he echoed it, "The King of Handan recruited Yuan Junzhang and captured him first."
Gushe, and later chased Jieli Khan. After two wars, I am afraid that the Turks will not be able to invade Hedong again in a few years."
Pei Ji nodded slightly, "That's true. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Turks have entered and exited Yanmen Pass at will, and the Dakou prefectures east of the river have probably chosen Longxi and the Pass in the future."
Although Wen Xi and the Pei family are located in the east and south of Hedong, they are inevitably invaded by the Turks. In this way, the stability of Hedong will be beneficial to the Pei family.
Pei Shiju picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He raised his hand to indicate to Pei Ji to drink the tea. He turned his head and glanced at Li Dewu coldly... He could not help but say that he couldn't help himself when he made a mistake. Then he mentioned recruiting Yuan Junzhang and wanted to capture him alive. Pei Ji couldn't hear it.
, but how could he not hear the sarcasm in his son-in-law's words?
Li Dewu was not sure whether his father-in-law's handiwork was responsible for the Turkic attack on Guji Town, but he thought...it happened the previous two times, so this time should be no exception, right?
Today's Li Dewu's status in the Pei family... well, it's hard to describe in a word.
Since the Yanmen victory, Li Dewu has completely broken up with Pei Shiju, but the former is even more fearless. Anyway, it is already like this. Father-in-law, you have to go down this road... It's a pity that like me, I just have to go down this road...
I can watch the guy climb higher and higher, and even "help" a few times in the process.
All in all, I am full of bachelor spirit.
Pei Shiju couldn't do anything. If he could eliminate the hatred in Li Shan's heart, and if he knew that things would turn out like this, he would have expelled Li Dewu and even let him die suddenly. But now... it's hard to do anything.
hands and feet.
So today, when Pei Ji came to visit and Li Dewu came up to him shamelessly, Pei Shiju could only grit his teeth and look at his son-in-law... and endure the ridicule that only Weng and his son-in-law could understand.
They chatted for a few more words, mainly because Pei Ji kept praising Li Shan... Pei Shiju, and Li Dewu's teeth were itching, but they still pretended to be nonchalant, put a smile on their faces, and even echoed a few words from time to time.
sentence.
When Li Dewu heard the last word, he wanted to leave. He really couldn't listen anymore... He just took a needle and stabbed himself in the heart one by one!
However, Pei Shiju sensed something. His cousin was unknown in the past, and was not considered top-notch in terms of ability or mind. But now he is the Prime Minister, mainly because of his close friendship with His Majesty... Ever since Li Yuan brought Li
Pei Ji regarded Li Shan as his nephew, and even after being included in the clan, Pei Ji had always been friendly to Li Shan.
After a while, Pei Ji finally brought up the business, "Third brother, do you still remember Brother Yi's young daughter who lived in the next room?"
"But she is Wei Zheng's wife." Pei Ji smiled and said, "The third brother had a close friendship with Brother Ji Yi back then. Can you send me a letter..."
Pei Shiju completely understood that Prince Li Jiancheng still wanted to make peace with Wei Zheng, who had the deepest relationship with Li Shan in the East Palace. The prince hoped to use this to persuade Li Shan... maybe to persuade him to stop, maybe to persuade him to return to the court, or maybe to make a deal.
.
Pei Ji looked at Pei Shiju with hope. It was really hard for the East Palace to directly give Wei Zheng an order about this matter. After all, Li Jing had tricked Li Shan so badly, but Li Shan finally survived and defeated the Turks. At the same time, the Daizhou Army
, with deep roots in the local area, to persuade Wei Zheng, who has a strong temperament, to persuade Li Shan... this person may not be willing.
However, Wei Zheng's father-in-law also came from the Western Household of the Pei family in Wenxi, and had been friends with Pei Shiju in their early years. That's why Pei Ji came to Pei Shiju and tried to persuade Wei Zheng through this line.
Pei Shiju secretly gritted his teeth, feeling that his back molars were a little loose, "I'll believe it later, my sixth brother will send someone to take it to him."
Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Dewu, "I remember that a few days ago, Shuying and Princess Pingyang had a close relationship..."
Li Dewu forced a smile... This is a bit fucked up. Not to mention that I haven't seen my wife for several months. Even if I could see her, I still can't persuade her, let alone Princess Pingyang who invited Pei Shuying to live in her house several times...
Pei Shiju felt like he had a splitting headache. He had done something wrong. He was so old when he encountered such a bad thing, but he couldn't talk about it.
County magistrate and the like.
Li Dewu racked his brains and finally found out that his son was sick, and his wife was worried day and night. He made excuses and sent Pei Ji out. He turned around and saw the mocking look in his father-in-law's eyes.
Your son is sick... You really don't shy away from it at all, and you have done such shameless things as abandoning your son.
"Father-in-law." Li Dewu was cheeky and approached him with an indifferent expression, "I wonder if you are injured?"
Pei Shiju stared at his son-in-law coldly, "Lead the troops north to pursue him. Pretend there are no serious injuries."
Li Dewu sighed, looking extremely regretful. He had already given up on his life, and in fact, he no longer cared about Li Shan's life or death.
At this moment, in the palace of Princess Pingyang, the couple was listening carefully to the guards telling the details of the battle in Guji Town.
"Huairen named Wengcheng?" Chai Shao stretched out his hand to draw on the table with great interest, "What a wonderful idea... No wonder the Turks were frustrated and decided to withdraw their troops."
The guard smiled bitterly and said: "It turned out later that Jieli Khan had heard that Daizhou's army had left Yanmen Pass, and sent the rest of the tribes to retreat north, leading the Ashina clan to break up with the king's troops."
Chai Shao nodded slightly, "Jieli Khan just made a forceful gesture before he walked in, so that the defenders would be in good order and would not dare to pursue."
"I didn't expect that the town of Guji was already running out of gas. Once a war started, the city would be destroyed. That's why Huairen led 800 cavalry out of the city to fight to the death... Although it was a coincidence, the Turks were short of food and grass and their morale was declining. It was crucial to go to war at this time.
.”
Princess Pingyang frowned and asked, "How is Huairen's injury?"
After a pause, Princess Pingyang emphasized her tone, "Don't lie!"
The guard pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "The King of Handan was in a deadly battle formation and it was difficult to break the formation. His Royal Highness rushed straight towards the horse and fell down to break the formation."
Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang looked at each other with worries in their eyes. Both husband and wife were veterans on the battlefield and knew very well the meaning of falling down and breaking the formation.
The tall horse weighing hundreds of pounds rushed into the formation without avoiding guns and knives. In the moment of commotion, the knight dismounted and fought on foot with a sword, using personal force to create a gap so that his colleagues behind him could take advantage of the situation.
But does Li Shan have the ability to perform such a difficult and dangerous behavior?
Even if he did, would he be able to escape unscathed?
You must know that the Turks are no better than the Central Plains warlords. They are basically cavalry. They don't need swords. Just trampling them with horse hooves is enough to rupture a person's internal organs and cause him to vomit blood and die after a few hours.
The expressionless Princess Pingyang suddenly cursed in a low voice, "Seek death!"
Chai Shao was stunned. He remembered that this was a word Li Shan mentioned when he returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year. What did it mean?
