Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

More means are always good.

After Hou Junji returned home, he felt a little anxious and apprehensive, which made his wife and children puzzled.

but.

Hou Junji didn't explain too much.

He was very punctual every day when he went to court, and he stayed at the Ministry of War, hoping to learn about Tuyuhun's news as soon as possible.

After about five or six days, news finally came from the border that a small group of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses were found, and after a little contact, they dispersed.

This was nothing in the Ministry of War, but Hou Junji was very excited.

In the past, there were stragglers, and there would be no formed soldiers, even small groups.

but.

Now Tuyuhun sent a small group of soldiers to scout the way, the next step would probably be harassment, and finally a sneak attack by large soldiers.

as predicted.

"My lord, the gods too!"

Five days later, news came from the border again that Tuyuhun sent a small group of 500 soldiers to attack the Datang border post and beheaded 72 soldiers.

When the news spread to Chang'an, it caused a shock, and the court was furious.

Countless people were very angry, but Li Shimin, the sage outside and the king inside, was a Heavenly Khan, so no one wanted to fight him at this time.

And when everyone was going to condemn the envoy of Tuyuhun in Honglu Temple, only one person entered the palace wearing a armored stomach.

Hou Junji knelt down in the Taiji Hall like pushing gold and jade, "Your Majesty, my minister Hou Junji invites you to fight, and I wish to take the lead and destroy Tuyuhun!"

Chapter 110 The Great Immortal Bought the Town God's Temple, His Official Is in Danger

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs looked at Hou Junji and was dumbfounded.

Li Shimin was also stunned, a little shocked and unbelievable.

Hou Junji's expression was calm, his eyes were firm and he said: "Your Majesty, my minister Hou Junji, please fight."

Everyone was shocked, they were not prepared for anything.

Even militants like Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong were only thinking of sending someone to scold the envoy of Tuyuhun at this moment.

but.

Hou Junji came directly to ask for a fight, and it seemed that he came prepared, not just on a whim.

Li Shimin was even more shocked.

In fact, these days, he has been thinking of a way, and he must fight a battle.

After all, as Tian Khan, there are still many people who are not convinced. He needs a big battle to make everyone shut up.

Moreover, the conflict between the family and the aristocratic family is becoming more and more serious now, and the common people are suffering. He needs war to divert the conflict and consolidate his position at the same time.

If the war is won, the influence of the aristocratic family will be minimized.

And Li Shimin's fame will reach its peak.

to this end.

Li Shimin considered many things, but the most important thing was which country was the most suitable for him to fight.

After much deliberation, he felt that it was most appropriate to fight Tuyuhun, but as Tian Khan, he couldn't take the initiative.

It just so happened that Tuyuhun had some friction with Datang recently, which gave Li Shimin an opportunity, but he never thought that Tuyuhun would dare to act so boldly and send troops to harass him.

Just now he had been suppressing the joy in his heart, but now that Hou Junji took the initiative to ask for a fight, he saw hope.

Hou Junji is a militant and yearns for success and a high position. In this war, he must be eager to fight.

Li Shimin understood this, so he already had calculations in his heart.

"No, no, I'm the Khan of Heaven. Although Tuyuhun sent troops to harass him, it didn't cause too much loss. If I rashly send troops, I will fall into the trap."

There were some foreign officials from Honglu Temple in the court, and they were relieved when they heard Li Shimin's words.

They were really afraid that if Li Shimin agreed, and when the time came to wipe out Tuyuhun, wouldn't it be their turn? !

but.

But Hou Junji had already made up his mind, and said, "Your Majesty, today Tuyuhun killed dozens of people from our Tang Dynasty, isn't that enough to cause heavy losses?!"

"You love the people like a son. They killed your sons. Dozens of lives are your Majesty's sons. They are also the monument of our Tang Dynasty guarding the frontier. How can they be trampled on easily?!"

A few words speak loudly.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong, who originally planned to condemn, also called for a fight.

Even Li Daliang and others, who had been stripped of their military power, also volunteered one after another.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Everyone on the general side yelled to be beaten and killed, and the civil servants frowned. After a moment of hesitation, Wei Zheng and others stood up and sang the opposite.

"Your Majesty, I am against going to war." Wei Zheng said slowly, "Your Majesty, you are the Khan of Heaven. Everyone in the world will watch your every move, and your whole body will be affected by your influence."

Fang Xuanling also said hastily: "Yes, Your Majesty, if Datang beats Tuyuhun, it will only end up in the mouth, and waste money and people. Now, we can't afford it."

Hou Junji directly interrupted the words of the two Prime Ministers, and said: "My lords, I finally feel that your majesty is a condescension to be the Khan of Heaven. He is the majesty of my Tang Dynasty first, and then the heaven of all races." Khan. If we can't even protect the interests of my Tang Dynasty, how can people recognize his status?!"

He glared at Wei Zheng and the others, and said, "My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is immortal, and his status is high and far above Tian Khan. If it is for the sake of Tian Khan's false name that we ignore the interests of my Great Tang, the people of Datang If the people discard it like a shoe, then I would rather not!"

Those words left Wei Zheng and the others speechless.

At the same time, it was shocking. This guy was definitely prepared, and this rhetoric was definitely not a temporary thought.

It was too shocking to be able to refute.

Li Shimin was also shocked, and he gave Hou Junji a strange look, as if he didn't expect that this fellow had such a side.

but.

Li Shimin still refused again and again, after all, he wanted to take care of the overall situation, and he wanted to maintain Tian Khan's face in front of the world.

However, he rewarded Hou Junji heavily, and directly appointed Hou Junji as the marching officer of Jishi Road.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Shimin's refusal at this time actually approved of Hou Junji.

as predicted.

That night, Hou Junji was invited into the palace by Li Shimin, this time it was not a drink to release the military power, but a release of power.

Li Shimin added a bunch of rewards to Hou Junji in private. When Hou Junji came out of the palace, he was light and light, and he walked very briskly.

Harem.

"Guanyin servant girl, don't you wonder why I gave him so much?"

"There must be a reason for Erlang to do this."

"He is a restless man, powerful and powerful. If such a person becomes a civil servant, I can rest assured. If he becomes a general, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Li Shimin's eyes were deep, and he said: "However, everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty has important things to fight, and this time Tuyuhun dared to offend the side, he must have received the promise and support of the aristocratic family, and there may be a think tank behind it."

"I need someone who is good at fighting, and who is ruthless to control the scene. Others, except Li Jing, are really more suitable than Hou Junji."

The queen said: "Isn't Erlang afraid that he will be difficult to control in the future?!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "He is a smart man, I believe he will know the choice in the future."

The queen's eyes were deep, and she hesitated to speak.

When Hou Junji returned home, he asked his family members to record Su Chen's name and burn incense day and night.

At the same time, people prepared a big gift again, sent it directly to the foot of Yunyuan Mountain, and handed it over to the major leaders for them to handle.

These were all promised to Su Chen, and he dared not forget them at all.

Even doubling it.

About five more days passed.

News came from the border again that Tuyuhun once again violated the border, and this time directly dispatched 2000 people to take down a border town in Datang.

What's more, Tuyuhun has mobilized [-] troops to take down the entire west corridor of Datang.

When the news came back, the whole Chang'an was shocked.

Countless civil and military officials were extremely angry, and Li Shimin immediately called the envoys of Tuyuhun to scold them and sent someone to deport them.

Subsequently.

Hou Junji asked for a fight, this time, no one dared to object.

Li Shimin immediately arranged for Hou Junji to be the General of the Rebellion, recognized as the commander-in-chief of the Three Ways, and lead an army of 20, to crush Tuyuhun with the posture of overwhelming Mount Tai!

All the ministers and generals asked for a fight, but Li Shimin announced directly in court that he probably already had a candidate.

Everyone has made arrangements, even Li Jing has been reappointed, but instead of going on an expedition, he is in charge of deploying soldiers in the Ministry of War to cooperate with this national war.

As soon as the news came out, both inside and outside Chang'an were boiling.

Datang has fought many victories, and this time, they are also determined to win, so they are all looking forward to it.

Many ordinary people have joined the fight, which is completely different from the former Sui people who broke their hands and feet and deliberately avoided military service.

Hualong Temple, Yunyuan Mountain.

Su Chen had already obtained the Heavenly Binding Immortal Rope, which proved that Hou Junji's lottery had been resolved.

but.

Su Chen didn't look relaxed, even a little dignified, and sighed slightly, "The Tang Dynasty's road of outer sage and inner king is destined to be accompanied by large and small wars."

"Where there is war, there will be casualties. I just hope that this situation will end as soon as possible."

Su Chen sighed a little, then took out the fairy binding rope to study.

An ordinary rope is three feet long, but it can be lengthened or shortened as you wish.

Su Chen coiled it around his waist, took it out suddenly, and threw it to a clone in the distance, immediately entangled the clone.

The avatar silently recited the mantra, cast the law of heaven and earth, and wanted to break free, but the immortal rope became bigger and smaller with the avatar, no matter how he changed, he couldn't get away.

Subsequently.

The avatar performed the Eighteen Changes of Heaven's Secret again, spit out a mouthful of fire, and tried to burn the rope, but failed.

The Dingshui bead contains infinite power of severance, even though the avatar has this treasure on its head, it can't separate the immortal rope.

Immediately afterwards, the avatar tried many methods, but all failed.

Including the use of magical powers.

Only the magic weapon of the sword was not used, because the sword is sharp and can break the rope that binds the immortals.

Of course.

The Unfeeling Sword is an ordinary magic weapon, the Immortal Binding Rope is a high-grade magic weapon, and the Dragon Emperor Slaying Demon Sword is a top-level magic weapon.

Therefore, only the Demon Slaying Sword can cut off the Immortal Rope.

That is to say, the sharp sword has this effect, even the higher-grade magic mace can't break the fairy rope.

That's what's so weird about it.

puff!

In the end, the avatar ran out of mana and dissipated directly.

Su Chen immediately took back the fairy rope.

at this time.

Yan Liben has already returned with news.

"Master, the above performance has been successful, and the Town God's Temple at the junction of the two rivers has already belonged to us."
