Hou Junji, the ‘Little White Ape’ in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties!
This historical celebrity is not as thin and dry as described in the novel, but instead has a majestic figure and a dignified appearance.
Moreover, this person has been a bold playboy since he was a child, and his gambling habit is extremely serious.
Many people don't know that Hou Junji comes from the Sanshui Hou family, which is also a branch of the Guanlong clan, and is even a family friend of Li Shimin's family.
Their grandmothers were both from the Dou family in Guanzhong, so they were standard relatives.
Therefore, the two of them were not only childhood friends, but also classmates. In terms of the depth of their personal friendship, even Changsun Wuji, his brother-in-law, could not match it.
When he was a teenager, Hou Junji went to Taiyuan to join Li Shimin and served as his staff.
In history, Li Tang raised his troops in Taiyuan, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen revolution, and Hou Junji were the most active promoters. He was a daredevil!
The reward for winning the bet was naturally very generous, and it made Hou Junji a famous general and Chen Guogong's future.
But in the end, Hou Junji lost a bet, and this time, he lost everything, including his life. Therefore, if you bet for a long time, you will lose!
However, Hou Junji doesn't know his future now.
After he led his 500 rear troops into the Xia army's center, they ran into Han Hong head-on. Hou Junji took a look at the opponent's general's flag and was overjoyed.
This Han Hong was also a general of the Xia army. If he could capture and kill him, his contribution would be considerable.
Immediately, Hou Junji roared angrily and rushed straight towards Han Hong. Without any explanation, he hit his chest with a fierce blow.
Regardless of history, Hou Junji was a late bloomer.
But what made him late was his military skills. As a member of the Guanlong military aristocracy, Hou Junji was proficient in bow and horse and had strong martial arts skills since he was a child.
A true warrior!
At this time, Zhang Qingte was dead, and Xu Yuanlang and Meng Jiigong had led the Chinese army to defeat.
Han Hongzheng was very panicked and wanted to run away, but suddenly he saw a young Tang general rushing towards him and killed him directly.
The ferocious looks made it seem like the two of them had a grudge against killing their father.
Han Hong was startled and hurriedly used his sword to block it. Sparks flew everywhere, making his arms numb.
As the saying goes, 'As soon as an expert stretches out his hand, he will know whether there is something there.' Han Hong knew immediately that he was no match for the young Tang general in front of him.
Han Hong had no intention of fighting, so he immediately made a feint, turned his horse and left.
Thirty-six strategies will naturally lead to the best strategy.
When Hou Jun meets him, where will he let him go?
He didn't dare to think about such a huge good thing as catching Dou Jiande. How could he miss the credit that was brought to his door?
Hou Junji quickly picked up the meteor hammer hanging next to his horse, hurriedly took two steps, rounded the hammer head, and threw it at Han Hong's back.
There was a lot of noise among the chaotic army, and by the time Han Hong heard the bad wind behind his head, it was already too late.
The fierce meteor hammer flew more than ten steps away and hit him heavily on the back.
Since the meteor hammer is a sharp weapon that can pierce armor, the bright light armor Han Hong was wearing could not withstand it. He immediately screamed, spurted blood from his mouth, and fell off his horse.
Hou Junji was overjoyed. He was in a hurry to make a meritorious deed and had no time to catch anyone alive. He rushed forward and hit him.
Suddenly, another general of the Xia army died.
After Hou Junji chopped off Han Hong's head with a spear, he happily tied it on his horse. When he raised his head, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The Xuanjia soldiers and winged cavalry attacked too quickly. After a slight delay, Hou Junji was pulled back at the end.
There were only a few dozen cavalry left around him, most of whom were sons of the Hou family who served as his bodyguards.
Hou Junji was very anxious and hurriedly asked the guards around him: "Where have they gone, Your Highness?"
The personal guards were also a little confused. They only guarded both sides of Hou Junji and did not pay attention to where Li Shimin was chasing Dou Jiande.
"It seems to be going east." Several guards said very uncertainly.
Hou Junji was a little speechless. Anyway, he had already gained a lot of credit by killing Han Hong, so he could just let it go.
"Walk."
Hou Jun gathered together to destroy the horse and headed east.
Since he was attacking Han Hong's right-wing light cavalry, he was naturally on the northernmost side of the entire battlefield. He never expected that an opportunity would come unexpectedly.
Hou Junji galloped away on horseback. He didn't bother to pay attention to the Xia army's rout along the way. Li Shiji naturally took care of collecting these little shrimps.
Suddenly, a guard pointed to the right front with sharp eyes: "General, do you think that is Dou Jiande?"
Hou Junji was stunned, and quickly looked around, and saw a Xia army general, dozens of steps away, protecting a man in golden armor, fleeing from the southwest to the northeast.
Since the battlefield was full of rebel troops, the general of the Xia Army actually cut and killed them all the way without mercy in order to escape for his life!
Holy shit!
Hou Junji's eyes suddenly widened and he was ecstatic.
You must know that not everyone can wear golden armor. It is either a prince or an emperor's general. This must be Dou Jiande.
"Hahaha, God help me!"
"My sons, follow me and capture Dou Jiande alive!"
Hou Junji almost went crazy with laughter. This was such a big pie falling from the sky. He pinched the horse's belly and rushed straight towards Dou Jiande.
All the personal guards also looked fierce and greedy, and swarmed to catch up.
"Kill someone to death!"
Hou Junji was eager to seize the opportunity, and when he saw someone blocking his way, he couldn't help but flip it over with a stick, stabbing it diagonally in the direction of Dou Jiande.
Dou Jiande was shocked when he saw this. He did not expect that he would flee to the edge of the battlefield and bump into the Tang army.
What's even worse is that, as the emperor of Daxia, he does not need to go into battle in person, so he only has a sword with him and no soldiers.
This is a very dangerous encounter with an enemy general!
Fortunately, Fan Yuan was loyal. He quickly turned his horse's head and came to greet Hou Junji while shouting: "Your Majesty, please stop taking charge of me and go to Shuiying quickly."
Dou Jiande almost shed tears.
He knew that once Fan Yuan was intercepted, he would either die in battle or be captured, making it difficult to escape.
But he was helpless, and he couldn't live up to Fan Yuan's sacrifice. He immediately gritted his teeth and drove his horse to continue running towards the northeast.
"Don't worry about me, go after Dou Jiande."
Hou Junji was also anxious. The duck in his mouth could not fly anymore. He immediately came to fight Fan Yuan and ordered the Tang soldiers around him.
More than ten Tang soldiers did not hesitate and immediately bypassed Fan Yuan and chased Dou Jiande.
Anyway, the Tang army was victorious and the enemies could only flee in all directions. Coupled with Hou Junji's strong martial arts, there probably wouldn't be any big problems.
But Hou Junji and Fan Yuan collided with each other in a flash of lightning.
"when!"
The two trees struck each other, sparks flew everywhere, and there was a faint buzzing sound.
Fan Yuan felt numbness in the tiger's mouth and soreness in his arms. He couldn't help but be horrified: Who is this, so powerful!?
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a head tied around the neck of Hou Junji's horse, and its owner was actually Han Hong, a colleague with whom he had a close relationship!
"Brother Han!" Fan Yuan's eyes were about to burst and he said angrily, "Thieves will all have their own names."
"Collection of Lords of the Tang Dynasty."
"I will kill you!" Fan Yuan was angry and rushed forward with gritted teeth, seemingly desperate to avenge Han Hong.
Hou Junji snorted coldly, he had no time to contend with the enemy general. The two horses crossed each other again, and he escaped from the enemy's arms with his saddle up, and the Pegasus went straight after Dou Jiande.
"The thief will leave."
Fan Yuan was so angry that he didn't want to let go. He turned his horse's head and started chasing after him. It only took him ten seconds to catch up.
"Suffer death."
Fan Yuan was so happy that he couldn't help but stabbed Hou Junji in the back with a stick. If the stick was real, the gods would have to take action immediately.
At the last moment, Hou Junji turned aside sharply, hooked the horse's rein with one foot, and held the horse's rein with the other hand, avoiding the enemy's attack.
Immediately, he hung on the side of the horse and turned around.
This series of movements is not only as coherent as flowing clouds and flowing water, but also as fast as lightning and very unexpected. It is exactly one of the unique skills of horseback riding - the carbine!
Although this trick may not sound like much, it is actually extremely powerful!
This requires astonishing judgment, superb riding skills, and powerful martial arts. Without any of them, you will not be able to practice the carbine.
Even seeking death.
As far as Hou Junji knows, there are no more than ten famous generals in the world who can practice this skill!
The biggest advantage of the carbine is that it is unexpected. If he is not prepared, a famous general like Li Daoxuan may be furious on the spot.
Fan Yuan, on the other hand, is at best like Han Hong, dissatisfied with the first class and stronger with the second class.
How can one avoid this sudden situation?
"flutter--"
I saw Hou Jun's gun like a poisonous dragon, hitting Fan Yuan's chest and abdomen. With an unbelievable look on his face, he quickly withdrew the gun.
Fan Yuan suddenly screamed and fell off his horse.
Hou Junji got on his horse and flew away without looking back. He didn't care about Fan Yuan's life or death. Now, he only wanted Dou Jiande.
