Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4290
Cui Xin was woken up by Wang Shoushi from his sleep, and when he learned that King Jin had summoned him, he didn't dare to neglect, so he washed his face casually, put on his clothes, and followed Wang Shoushi to the camp of the Chinese army.At this time, the entire barracks had received an order, and the kitchens of each army started to light fires and prepare meals. The sleeping soldiers were also called up to prepare ordnance, put on their armor, and feed their horses. .

Not knowing what kind of emergency happened, Cui Xinzhong arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army anxiously, entered and saw Li Zhi, and was invited to take a seat after being greeted.

"I don't know what orders your Highness summoned late at night? Also, the army is so urgent, but what urgent military situation happened?"

Cui Xin took the tea from Wang Shoushi, didn't drink it, and asked with a frown.

Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "Xue Wanche has been instigated to rebel, and is about to pretend to join forces with our army and rush to Huaxuling to cross the river to attack Chang'an. At this moment, he must have led the army across the Wei River, chasing after us."

Cui Xin turned pale with shock: "What should I do?"

Although he has never been an official in his life, nor has he ever led an army to fight, but after all, he is knowledgeable and familiar with ancient and modern times. He has also read many military books of the past dynasties. The danger posed by coming from the tail.

It's a good thing to say that this battle will lose troops and lose generals. As long as they can win, not only can they join forces with Yuchi Gong quickly, but also enhance the prestige of King Jin, greatly enhance the morale of the army, and make those who are watching have more confidence in King Jin.

But if Xue Wanche bites him tightly and cannot escape, it will trigger a chain reaction. Those who intend to support the King of Jin will stop their efforts, and even cross the river to attack the emperor in order to show their loyalty...

Li Zhi looked at Cui Xin and said, "For the present plan, the only way to survive is to cut off your arms."

Cui Xin thought for a while, and when he understood Li Zhi's meaning, his color suddenly changed again.

The so-called "survival with a broken arm" naturally used a part of the troops to block Xue Wanche to buy time for the large army, while the large army quickly left the battlefield and went straight to Huaxu Mausoleum.

Naturally, it is very difficult for this part of the troops blocking Xue Wanche to end well. Not only that, Xue Wanche's right guards are so powerful that it is difficult for ordinary troops to successfully block them. They must be strong enough and have enough numbers.

At present, the troops under King Jin's command that can complete this task can only be the elite private soldiers of the Cui family of Qinghe...

Li Zhi naturally knew that Cui Xin was reluctant, and said gently: "The current situation is really critical. Once you are entangled by Xue Wanche and you can't get out, I don't think I need to say more about the end. Cui Gong, you know it very well. Cui's private soldiers are elite and brave, they are the army. Not only is Cui Gong reluctant to part with the main force, but this king is willing to part with it? But right now, he can only cut off his tail to survive, and I hope Cui Gong will be considerate. However, this king can give you a promise, how many private soldiers Qinghe Cui has lost today, and what will be achieved in the future At the time of the great cause, it is allowed to raise the same number of private soldiers, although they are not included in the ranks of the Tang army, they can remain for generations and rest with the country."

I don't want the child to be unable to trap the wolf. Although he has a clear banner and a mighty momentum, he actually has nothing.

When a person owns the world and is rich all over the world, it is difficult to extract a little benefit from him; but when a person has nothing, he is willing to give any promise, because no matter what he gives, he is not in his hands now It's even impossible to master... So, why should you be stingy?

If he forced Cui Xin, Cui Xin would have to send elite soldiers to stop Xue Wanche.But in that case, it would be unwilling and unwilling, and the army's combat power would be difficult to guarantee. Facing a tiger-wolf division like Youwuwei, if you don't have the will to die, how can you successfully stop it?

Cui Xin and his private soldiers of the Cui family must be voluntary. Only in this way can there be no life, no death, and the greatest combat power can be erupted.

Cui Xin's eyes widened and he breathed heavily: "Your Highness, are you serious?"

He knew that if he wanted to stop Xue Wanche, 1 people would definitely not be enough, which would definitely cause Qinghe Cui's muscles to be broken.After all, these private soldiers are all young and strong. They serve as soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time. This is the foundation for the Qinghe Cui family to proudly maintain the family inheritance and keep their lintels intact.

But if there is Li Zhi's promise today, the Qinghe Cui family may become the only family in the world who can legally own private soldiers in the future. It doesn't need 1 people, even if there are only five thousand...or even two thousand, it means Qinghe Cui Shi became the number one family in the world.

This is not only glory, but also the foundation of inheritance!
Of course, he is also worried. Now that the situation is imminent, Li Zhi can naturally give whatever promise he wants. What if he succeeds in seizing the big position in the future and feels that today's promise is too extravagant and wants to return?
Time has passed, and Li Zhi really regretted it. The Cui family of Qinghe had no choice but to go to Dali Temple to sue Li Zhi for not believing what he said...

Li Zhi waved at Wang Shoushi: "Pen and ink are waiting for you!"

"Here!"

Wang Shoushi took the pen and paper, added a little water to the inkstone and began to grind the ink.

Li Zhi dipped his pen in ink, swiped his promise on the rice paper, stamped his seal on the paper, and pulled out a dagger to cut his left thumb, pressing a bloody handprint.

"Empty words are nothing, take this as proof!"

Cui Xin's excited heart was beating wildly and his face was flushed. He took the written document with both hands respectfully, read it word by word, carefully folded it in half and put it in his arms. Even if the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, the landslides and the ground are cracked, they can't be shaken at all, ten thousand Cui's athletes are willing to throw their heads and blood for the great cause of His Highness, even if they are shrouded in horse leather and smashed to pieces!"

Cui Xin saw it very clearly. If the king of Jin was defeated in this battle, the Qinghe Cui family, as the chief culprit who called on the Shandong family to recruit private soldiers and support them with all their strength, would never end well. flow, nothing.

That being the case, why not try our best to exchange for King Jin's promise that the Cui family can be passed on for thousands of years and live with the country?

No amount of sacrifice is worth it.

……

Back in the tent, Cui Xin still couldn't calm down, took out Li Zhi's papers from his arms, unfolded them, put them under the oil lamp, and read them word by word again. Every word made him feel happy physically and mentally, full of love A bright future.

Of course, no matter how beautiful the vision is, it can only be in the future, but right now, Cui has to experience a severe pain that is no less than a bone cramp.

The four clansmen who came with the private soldiers arrived one after another, and when they were all there, Cui Xin ordered the door to be closed, leaving his servants to wait outside to prevent others from approaching, then he pointed to the written receipt on the table, Everyone said: "Come and have a look."

The four of them were startled because the army was about to break out of the camp tonight, but now they were called by Cui Xin to look at something without thinking, and they became more and more confused. All of them opened their mouths wide, inexplicably shocked and unbelievable.

Twenty-year-old Cui Junshi's mouth was trembling: "Grandfather, this, this... why did His Royal Highness King Jin bestow such a great favor?"

As an outstanding child of the Cui family, Cui Junshi naturally understands how important this document will be to the status and inheritance of the Cui family. It can be said that as long as this document is realized in the future, then the Cui family of Qinghe will be the de facto one-person, ten thousand Above people, the powerful families in the world, except the Li and Tang royal family, should be ranked first by the Cui family of Qinghe.

It's too heavy, so it's a little unrealistic.

Cui Xin said with a sullen face, "If you want to take it first, you must give it first. If His Royal Highness Prince Jin had no high hopes for the Cui family, how could he make such a promise concerning the foundation of the country?"

Another clansman resolutely said: "As long as there is this written evidence, what's the point of embarrassing the king of Jin? If that's the case, please start with me."

Cui Xin snorted, and said: "It's not just a mess? How much is your head worth? Xue Wanche has been instigated, and is about to pretend to join forces with the army to attack, and then suddenly launch a surprise attack... In order to avoid being entangled by Xue Wanche, the King of Jin The situation collapsed, so we decided to leave an army to stop Xue Wanche, and looking at the army, this task is not up to us except us Qinghe Cui."

The four were speechless.

Born in a family like the Cui family of Qinghe, and being selected by Cui Xin to come with the army among thousands of clansmen, each of them is an outstanding figure. After a little thought, he understood why Li Zhi made such a promise to the Cui family of Qinghe.

It is not only a reward, but also a bait, and it is also a guilt for the loyal followers.

The Youwuwei, who is strong and powerful in blocking troops, is almost certain that the remaining army will inevitably be wiped out in the end.

For the Cui family, this is nothing less than a catastrophe.

Looking at this document now, it is not so tempting, especially the bloody fingerprint under the document, which is so red that it dazzles the eye...

Cui Junshi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "As my grandfather said, if you want to take it first, you must give it first... Everyone knows what such a heavy promise means to the Cui family of Qinghe, and King Jin also knows it, so if you can't make it Such a huge sacrifice, why should I make it? Grandfather, it’s okay! Grandson implores the private soldiers in the commanding clan to stay and stop Xue Wanche, and earn for the Qinghe Cui clan a feat that can make the family proud for a hundred years!"

After saying that, he knelt down in front of Cui Xin: "I implore grandpa to make it happen!"

The rest of the people looked at each other and knelt down one after another: "I am also willing to stay and defend the glory of the Cui family of Qinghe with my flesh and blood!"

"It's just a death, it can be heavier than Mount Tai, and it's a worthy death!"

Cui Xin burst into tears, seeing the fearless and even fanatical expressions of the most outstanding children and grandchildren of the several clans in front of him, patted this one, touched that one, and sighed: "It's not because this old man is cruel, I want to watch you go!" Death, even if the king of Jin is rejected, the future of the king of Jin defeating our Cui family will inevitably be extremely miserable. Now that he can be put to death and reborn, and he can leave the foundation of inheriting glory for the family, how can the old man choose? Woolen cloth?"
