lying down

Li Shimin gently dropped the sunspots in his hand on a corner of the chessboard, and looked at Changsun Wuji with a smile.When the child fell, a big dragon belonging to the eldest grandson was cut off in the middle, and fell into a situation of division and siege, and there was no sign of recovery.

"Hey——, the emperor's chess skills are superb, and the minister is far behind!" Changsun Wuji shook his head and smiled bitterly, so he had no choice but to push the scales and admit defeat.

"You have been with me for many years, don't I know how good your chess skills are? You are just absent-minded at this moment, how can you not be good at chess?" Li Shimin stretched his waist to move his sedentary muscles and bones while gathering the chess pieces, and moaned comfortably Voice.

Changsun Wuji looked at him with ease, but his heart was extremely anxious.It has been a few days, and there is still no movement outside the city. It stands to reason that they should have known about Hu Qi's such a big movement, why did they not see help for so long?Thinking of this, he let out another long sigh, and casually swept the chess pieces into the round bowl in a dispirited way.

"Auxiliary machine, its situation is like this, why worry so much? Don't you believe me, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty? I'm afraid there are arrangements for these few days, so don't worry. Besides, it is not us who are in a hurry at this time, but Jieli. He The siege of 5 people must have a plan. If it was only for the money, Ding feared that he had already broken into the city. Since he has not launched an attack until now, then he must have other intentions. Burden, they are suffering from drought this winter, and their reserves are empty, so they may be stiff now." Li Shimin didn't know his brother-in-law's state of mind, and he couldn't bear to see how many fire bubbles came out of his anxious mouth, so he spoke to comfort him .

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji's heart became a little brighter, and he relaxed a little.Just about to discuss with Li Shimin, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, very hurried.

Just as he was wondering, he heard three knocks on the door again, and saw Dugu Mou come in and bow his head, "I want to report to the emperor: the three people who came from outside the city just now are Ouyang Yuhe, Captain of Zheng Zhenwei, Brigade of Bingzhou Daying Special Brigade. He has two people under his command!"

"Ouyang... Ouyang Yu!?" Li Shimin murmured a few times, his eyes brightened as if he had gained something.

"Your Majesty, do you know this person?" Changsun Wuji recalled quickly, as if he had no image of this name in his memory.

Li Shimin chuckled, stroked Hei Ran lightly and said, "I haven't met before, but I have some reflections. Auxiliary machine, do you remember the drought and locust disaster last year? There is a village named Panshan in Yunzhou, so Ouyang did a lot to protect the village. Common people, there has never been a hungry person or a refugee. At that time, I wanted to give him an official position, but you opposed it. Later, Xu Guitou reported to the Ministry of War for a "special brigade" in recent months, do you remember?"

Changsun Wuji murmured, nodded and laughed: "It seems that there is such a person, who seems to be very young, and I objected at that time. I am not as far away as the emperor's photographic memory. It's just... Xu Shiji How could you send such a brat here?"

Li Shimin didn't speak, coughed and glanced at Dugumou.

Dugu Mou blushed immediately, he only spoke half of what he had said, he didn't say all the main points, he just wanted to let the emperor get the good news that someone came to help him, so he only spoke half of the words.

"Your Majesty, Colonel Ouyang is talking at the city guard's mansion at this time. After hearing about it, I ran to report the news. I have neglected my duty... Ouyang said that Governor Xu led [-] elite soldiers from Bingzhou, and they had already entered Grassland, he intends to create the illusion of going straight to Huanglong, so that Jieli will turn around and withdraw his troops to relieve our siege in Yunzhong. At worst, it can also reduce the besieging troops. Since the emperor is here, he doesn't seem to know the current situation."

Li Shimin took a few glances at Dugumou, and thought to himself that this boy is as brave as he is brave, but he has less resources and less experience, he seems to be a bit worse than that Ouyang boy.If that Ouyang didn't know that he was in the cloud, why would he take the risk and report to the city with three people?This cloud city is small and shabby, and it's not that stupid, and Xu Shiji didn't need to evacuate Bingzhou's family to do the narrow escape.It's just that even Wang Tian didn't know his whereabouts in the city, so it would take some effort for that kid to find him.Moreover, he may not have exhausted his words in front of the city guard, but there must be some hidden in his belly.It would be better to let Dugu Mou tell him to come here to save some effort.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin patted Dugu Mou on the shoulder and said: "You did a good job. After a few more years of experience, let's change to another place. After all, this place is a bit embarrassing to you. You go back and find a time to bring Ouyang here. Have something to say to him."

Dugu Mou was secretly startled, Captain Ouyang had such a big background, not only the emperor had heard about it, but he called him directly as soon as he came to the cloud, is this considered "Jane is in the emperor's heart"?

This is due to the disposition of young Dugu Mou. After all, he is not as experienced as his fathers, so he feels a little jealous when he hears it.It's just that this is what the emperor said, how dare he not obey?

Ouyang paid a visit to Wang Tian, ​​the guardian of Yunzhong City, and only talked about the arrangements made by the governor in detail, but never mentioned his real purpose of coming here and the special arrangements he made for Li Shimin.Li Shimin is the emperor of a country, and his whereabouts cannot be easily revealed, otherwise, with the current situation in the cloud, if someone who is careful or has ulterior motives finds out, he will be in big trouble.

The city guard Wang Tian heard that Xu Shiji had led his troops to die to save Yunzhong, he couldn't help being moved, so he arranged for the three of them to live and had nothing to ask for, but just whispered to Ouyang before he left that he might as well leave the city earlier To avoid accidents, it was regarded as a reward for Xu Shiji's trip.But Ouyang's polite refusal made him have nothing to say, so he let him go.

When the three of them walked out of the city guard's mansion, Ge Ye poked Ouyang with his arm and said, "Eighth brother, why do I feel that something is wrong? From what I know of the governor, he has never sent troops in such a hurry, usually after making a decision." I was in a hurry at the time, and I have time to think about it in the future, but even you risk your life so much, how important is this little cloud?"

Ouyang looked at the somewhat empty streets, and thought to himself that the military disaster was indeed true. Although Hu Qi only besieged and did not attack, this temporary military ban made people a little nervous not to come.Hearing what Ge Ye asked, he chuckled: "The third brother is indeed a veteran in the army. You and my brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you would be burdened. Since you asked me, I told the truth," he said. "Here!" After saying that, he pointed his right index finger upwards.

"God... can't it? Could it be? Could it be that the emperor is here!?" Even Ge Yenai, a senior general in the army, was also taken aback by this news.But what followed was the solution of doubts. As long as the emperor is here, all the questions can be explained, except of course why the Turks did not attack the city after besieging it.

The three chatted and walked, and went through the whole thing again to see if there were any loopholes, and took a look at the situation on the street.

"Ahead is Colonel Zhenwei Ouyang? Please wait a moment!" Hearing an urgent shout from behind, the three of Ouyang turned around in unison.

"So it's Brother Dugu, why are you calling me?"

Dugu Mou ran quite a distance from the mansion so far, he was a little out of breath.He first looked around, then looked at the two behind Ouyang, clasped his fists and said, "Can I take a step to talk?"

"It doesn't matter, these two are my righteous brothers, and the heads are guaranteed."

"Since that's the case... Captain Ouyang, someone wants to meet you! Presumably you should know who it is?" Dugu Mou didn't care what Ouyang said. Look at Ouyang.

Ouyang guessed who this mysterious person was after careful thought, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he straightened his military uniform, and stretched out his hand: "Please!"

Ever since Ouyang entered the courtyard, he felt a faint chill, which came from the people dressed as nurses.There were about six or seven guards guarding from the door. Although there were not many of them, they looked extremely capable, and their positions were always standing at the leak point when the house was attacked. They never gave Ouyang a second look. Ouyang never glanced at them either, but looked away from a distance.

Thinking secretly that this is the legendary "Da Nei Guard" in later generations, Ouyang couldn't help but take a second look.That coldness didn't come on purpose
