Chapter 176 (1/2)

Before Pei Xingjian left, Li Hong called him, black tooth Chang Zhi and Xue Rengui to a unique courtyard in Qiuci.

He gave three people a bag of things, and then said with a smile, ”alcohol is not allowed in the army. This is the iron law. But if you take Shule City, I can allow you to drink once. Here, it's the pig's hooves and ears. It's the best dish to serve

At this time, the three men believed in Li Hong's words. On the first day Li Hong arrived, they put them together. The next day, Xue Rengui captured a live boar.

The wild boar screamed into the sky. I'm afraid everyone in Qiuci city didn't sleep well.

Li Hong was more sullen and black, and he reprimanded general Xue. However, after noon, the ink still stewed the boar.

Therefore, in a few days' time, from time to time, we could hear wild boar scream ”fury” in every corner of the barracks, and with the popularity of wild boar killing in the army, the name of pig killing dish was called by them.

The wild boars nearby seem to know that these people like their own flesh recently, so they also begin to ambush in the daytime and emerge at night. But even so, many wild boars are still doomed.

Pei Xingjian, together with Xue Rengui and black tooth Chang Zhi, deeply bowed to Li Hong and said, ”I thank your Highness for the pig killing dish that your Highness has made for all the soldiers. With this simple and easy food, not only can the officers and men have a full meal in the ice and snow, but also have a warm meal. Thank you for your love Soldiers are like sons. They are benevolent, righteous and loving. ”

”It's no use saying these things. You'd better think about how to recover Shule in the shortest time. If you can't recover Shule before the Yuan Dynasty, you three can go back to Chang'an, and then I Li Hong will clean up the mess for you.” Li Hong took the lead in sitting in the bare little garden, and then motioned for the three to sit down at the same time.

”The last general and others are determined to live up to their fate. Before the first day of the new year, Shule will surely be recovered. If not, the last general will be willing to let Dadu Hu handle it at will.” After Pei Xingjian made a military order, he sat down opposite Li Hong.

Xue Rengui's 70000 troops are still stationed outside Shule city. Kucha has only Pei Xingjian and black tooth Chang Zhi's troops.

Li Hong didn't let them leave a soldier. Instead, he made them take away all the troops. Of course, there were only 21000 people led by Li Hong when he came here.

Pei Xingjian was worried that this force could not resist at all. The cavalry of asnaduzhi who came and went without a trace, not to mention whether they could hold Kucha before the Yuan Dynasty.

However, no matter what the three said, Li Hong shook his head and refused to let them leave a part of their forces to help him defend Kucha.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the three people, Li Hong looked at black teeth and often said, ”black teeth, do you remember the crossbow I saw for you when I first met you?”

”It will be remembered naturally.” Black teeth often get up and go back.

”That's it. With him, the tortoise won't be lost, and I promise they'll never come back.” Looking at Pei Xingjian's speech, Li Hong stopped him and continued: ”I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I will never be greedy for military achievements, and lead the troops out of Qiuci and take the initiative to attack them. My task is to guard the Kucha for you before you come back on the first day of the year.”

Looking at Pei Xingjian, he was still embarrassed. Li Hong sighed and continued: ”go, general Pei, don't worry. Kucha is with me, Li Hong, and people are in the city.”

Looking at Li Hong's suddenly resolute eyes, Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui as well as black tooth Chang Zhi looked at each other and nodded silently.

I don't know why. Looking at Li Hong's firm look, they believe from the bottom of their heart that this prince, who has always been playing cards in Chang'an, can really rely on 20000 people to defend the Qiuci coveted by asnadu.

On the second day, Pei Xingjian led Xue Rengui and Hei Chi Chang Zhi to march to Shule. Li Hong, in addition to giving them a simple march outside the city, hurried back to Kucha.

Now it is the cold winter. Due to the natural disaster in Yunzhong, all the food is very scarce this year. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty is now rich, and a large number of grain has been transported from the south to Luoyang, and then transferred to Yunzhong and other places.

Therefore, after eating and drinking enough, the people of Eastern Turks in the cloud, living on the cold grassland, have a great thing left, hiding in tents to make children.

However, asnadukhi was also affected by the natural disaster and the wolves. Because the route of grain transportation was too long, before the grain was delivered at the first time, they made a rebellion with both hands.

So Pei Xingjian was not allowed to put down Shule at that time and run to Qiuci garrison all night.

Now Pei Xingjian runs away from Qiuci, and he feels that he has the opportunity to take advantage of it. If he can take advantage of this opportunity, he can not only give asnadu branch a stronghold.
