Datang's journey to death

Chapter 60

Li Ke's first reaction when he heard Pei Xuan say this was to object, but he also knew Pei Xuan's character to some extent. If you forced him, he might rebound even harder, so he had no choice but to say: "If you lead troops out, you will defend the city." There is not enough troops, the urgent report to the court has been sent out, and the order to transfer troops to Xiazhou and Shengzhou has passed, we just need to guard Beining well now."

But Pei Xuan said: "Khitan came here with a purpose like this, maybe it's aimed at you. I don't need too many people. As long as a few people use your banner to lure people away, if not all of them, at least give them to Beining." Take the pressure off a little bit."

"What about you?" Li Ke stared round his eyes: "If they take it seriously, your situation will be very dangerous."

he?Is he still afraid that he won't be able to escape?Seeing being surrounded, wouldn't he turn into a cat?No one would have thought that it would make a big difference. Of course, there is no way to say this in front of so many people. Pei Xuan really used his eyes to signal Li Ke: "Don't worry about me, I can always find a way. You Just find two of your winter clothes and let me wear them."

Seeing Pei Xuan like this, Li Ke knew that he knew what he was thinking, and sure enough, he heard Pei Xuan say: "Give me less people, just make it look like I'm running away secretly, too many people are also a burden." These people Maybe there will be no return, and it is a crime to bring too many people, but you have to bring it, so you have to keep it as simple as possible.

Hearing that he wanted few people, Li Ke understood Pei Xuan's thoughts in an instant, and also, if Pei Xuan really lured people away, he should be able to get away easily.Li Ke also thought about it with Pei Xuan, the fewer people the better, but he was worried about giving too little, and after thinking about it, he wanted Anping and Lu Yang to put down the toiletries and leave.

After the two of them left, Li Ke asked in a low voice: "Can you still exchange things now?"

The system is very powerful as an auxiliary function, and the exchange items are exchanged with the Space-Time Administration. After all, as a history guide, it is impossible to bring various things when you first travel through the past, so you have to exchange with the Space-Time Administration. However, the redemption is not unlimited. History guides are also divided into levels, and Li Ke... Sorry, he doesn't have a level [-] now, and he is still a tester, so there are even fewer items that can be exchanged. Pei Xuan Looking at him, he hesitated and asked, "What do you want to change?"

"I remember that there is a gold silk soft armor in the primary item. Let's see what you can change it now?" This is the most practical thing Li Ke can exchange now. The reason why this life-saving thing is primary is because Everyone doesn't use this thing very much at all, and those who are able to exchange it for resurrection items, or other better things.

The exchange system is also very user-friendly. Antiques or gold gems are what you want in ancient times, and the price is based on the market situation of the space-time management plane and the current identity of the host. There is a lot of room for price fluctuations. A gold silk soft armor may Half a catty of gold can't be exchanged, but maybe a pair of chopsticks can be exchanged.

Now Li Ke naturally cannot open the system, so he can only ask Pei Xuan.As soon as Pei Xuan heard it, he knew that Li Ke was going to exchange it for him. Li Ke himself had gold silk soft armor. This thing was precious because too few people could afford it, and Li Ke could afford it, but now He is still underage, and his height and shape are not comparable to that of the adult Pei Xuan. The gold silk soft armor needs to be worn close to the body, so naturally his Pei Xuan can't fit it.

Even if Pei Xuan wanted to pretend to be him, he could only wear his winter clothes, the winter clothes were too big, and luckily it was winter, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do with it.

"I don't use that, it's a pity to lose it."

"What's the pity? It's just a dead thing, can it be compared to you?" Li Ke took the opportunity to brush up Pei Xuan's favorability again, of course he was telling the truth this time, there is nothing better than Pei Xuan Life is more important, if something happens to Pei Xuan, life will be impossible.

Pei Xuan was successfully shunned by Li Ke, and directly opened the panel to show Li Ke - the two of them are still bound, so Li Ke can naturally see it.

However, after connecting to the star network, the system pricing is obviously confusing, because Pei Xuan is also a person with his own identity, the county magistrate is several levels behind the prince, and the pricing system over there did not know what level to use at the beginning. In the end, it defaulted to the pricing method based on Pei Xuan's identity.

Li Ke smiled when he saw it: "Hey, this is a good deal."

Pei Xuan still felt that it was very expensive at first glance, well, judging from his current salary and food, it would take him two years to save for such a gold silk soft armor.Just as Pei Xuan was about to say something, he saw Li Ke directly throwing in a jade pendant that he carried with him, and replaced the golden silk soft armor.

Pei Xuan was a little helpless: "Can you tell me?" It is true that his salary and income are not much, but Li Ke will not be much more than him. He will save for two years, and Li Ke will also save one. How much money can Li Ke have in his hands as a prince who has just left the palace to build a mansion?

Let me tell you that you definitely disagree, Li Ke knew Pei Xuan's expression as soon as he saw it, so he said calmly, "Father gave me that thing."

Although Li Ke's Shiyi and salary are a bit bleeding in exchange for this golden silk soft armor, but he has a good father, especially he has also brushed his father's favorability value to the highest, so Li Shimin has so many good things in his hands. It's okay to change it to a gold silk soft armor.

Pei Xuan didn't say anything else and directly took off his clothes and put on the golden silk soft armor. He had already changed it and couldn't throw it to the Xingwang platform. Oh, it's not impossible, but the price of reselling it back will be very discounted. Let you understand what a profiteer is.

After Pei Xuan passed on the golden silk soft armor, Li Ke was relieved, and then gave Pei Xuan his bow and arrow and long knife——Pei Xuan is a civil servant, and it is not easy to walk around with so many weapons. Even if he can, he Li Ke's things are definitely not as good as Li Ke's.

It's just that when Li Ke handed him the bow and arrow he used, Pei Xuan asked, "How many stones? Is it enough for me?" While talking, he looked at Li Ke's slender arm.

The corner of Li Ke's mouth twitched, resisting the thought of beating him, and said angrily: "Come or use it, you didn't bring your own."

Pei Xuan just teased Li Ke casually. He checked everything, and Li Ke also got everyone ready. There were only seven of them, but they were all elites in his guard. He was also a little reluctant to let these people go to the death matter, but he was even more unwilling to get some people who were slow to follow Pei Xuan, so in the end he simply used money to attack.

He directly promised that if these people could come back, they would have a bright future, and if they couldn't, he would take care of the family on their behalf, and there must be a brave man under the reward, so he formed such a death squad of seven people.

Li Ke pulled Pei Xuan and said in a low voice: "I've already told them about these people. When necessary, you...you take care of yourself."

Pei Xuan instantly understood Li Ke's intention to use these to delay the enemy when necessary, and escape by himself. He frowned, and Li Ke couldn't help but said, "I didn't force them."

Naturally, he also knew that this was not good, everyone's life was their life, but no matter who they were, there was a closeness in their hearts, Li Ke couldn't bear any price of losing Pei Xuan now.

Pei Xuan didn't continue this topic, but tilted his head to look at Li Ke and asked, "You didn't say I'm leaving?"

Li Ke looked at him in a daze. He felt that he had thought very well. Could there be something that he didn't think well?

Pei Xuan was a little unhappy that Li Ke was so out of touch, so he pinched his chin and said, "Will you die if you take the initiative once?"

It won't die, it will bend.Li Ke looked at Pei Xuan very tiredly, and after deliberating for a while, he said, "That...I..."

Pei Xuan clicked his tongue: "Forget it, I know you're shy." Then he lowered his head and bit Li Ke's mouth bitterly, Li Ke covered his mouth angrily and pushed him out.

Pei Xuan led the people away in such a chic way, Li Ke stood there touching his mouth and had a bad feeling - it seemed that he was really going to bend, if he had tolerated Pei Xuan's rough hands at the beginning His attitude was afraid that he would provoke Pei Xuan to cause problems, but now he felt that he was used to it.

Li Ke's mind is a little messed up, but now is not the time for him to think about these things. If the previous defense was only aimed at Li Mobu, it might be more useful. However, facing the two-sided attack, Li Ke has to rearrange.

The only thing he can hope for now is that the troops of Beifu, Xiazhou and Shengzhou will come quickly, and the other thing is...Pei Xuan can really lure a large part of the Khitan people away.

The officials of Beifu and Xiasheng's governor's offices were almost frightened to death after receiving Li Ke's military order. They got up from the bed in the middle of the night and began to order the whole army-not because they were cold but because they were frightened Well, what Lin Bochang was afraid of was also what they were afraid of, and they were even more worried.

No one thought that these ethnic minorities would rebel, and Lin Bochang didn't want Li Ke to be trapped here, so Lin Bochang's situation is not very difficult, but if it were them... What problems caused Li Ke in time, don't even think about it if one of them counts as one.

So these people's rush to help was actually a little bit more timely than Li Ke imagined, and Pei Xuan's side really attracted most of the Khitan people away.

It's not that the Khitan people are not smart enough, it's that Pei Xuan is doing all the tricks. He didn't run to the Khitan people openly, but secretly opened the city gate and left in the middle of the night. Yes, but it doesn't mean that their scouts didn't come over. When Pei Xuan left, he even used Li Ke's frame. The prince's frame was conspicuous enough even at night, so it was normal for the scouts to find him. .

The leader of the Khitan people is named Aguyin. He was discussing with his subordinates how to attack Beining before he had rested. After hearing the result, he smiled contemptuously and said, "The prince of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than that. When he heard that we came, he was so scared that he ran away. gone."

Wu Hu Lie beside him said with a smile: "I heard that the prince is only fourteen or fifteen years old, he is just a child, how can he compare with the general?"

Aguyin smiled even more proudly: "He must have never imagined that we already knew his whereabouts, and he only took seven people away? It's God's blessing, Wu Hulie, you take a team to catch up with the little prince. Just live."

Wu Hulie understood, knowing that what Aguyin meant was not to be tied up just because he wanted to live, as long as there was still some breath left to allow them to exchange favors with Datang, Wu Hulie saluted and said, "Yes, obey the general's order!"

Wu Hulie also didn't think it would be a shame to go after a prince with seven people. Instead, he felt that it was Aguyin's special care for him and the military merits he had given him, especially when Aguyin allocated him 5000 yuan in one go. People and horses, let him go after Li Ke. Of course, if you encounter villages and towns along the way, you can naturally grab them.

Wu Hulie happily led the troops to chase after Pei Xuan. This time, Aguyin led a total of about 1 people. It can be said that the troops were divided into two groups. Li Ke was even more sure of Pei Xuan after hearing the scout's report. Judging, these people are really coming towards him.

Li Ke is not surprised either. Generally, he would not care about capturing Datang. After all, Li Shimin needs prestige now to smooth out the prestige blow caused by killing brothers and brothers before. Tuyuhun captured the official Zhao Daode to negotiate with Datang. Didn't Datang exchange Zhao Daode with something?

Not to mention when it comes to Li Ke, he can only exchange for more things.Li Ke sneered twice after knowing the other party's thoughts, and put on his armor directly. Li Ke specially plated a layer of silver on the outside of the armor in order to look handsome. How much wind you want, how much wind you want.

However, how handsome this armor was at the beginning, Li Ke regrets it now. This thing is simply a shining target, but now there is no other armor suitable for him. Who makes others have short legs?

However, Li Ke wearing such a suit of armor looks like that. When Pei Xuan sneaked away before, he was discovered by others. Then someone secretly rumored that King Wu had abandoned the city and fled. Li Ke didn't care about it at the time, but Let people secretly keep an eye on those who are molesting the common people, and arrest them one by one.

Li Ke didn't believe it at all if they said that they were fine, except for the watchmen, why don't you sleep around in the middle of the night?Do you know what a curfew is?How could it be okay to wander outside at the risk of being punished?

Li Ke took this opportunity to clean up a batch of unstable factors in the city, but he believed that there must be deeper buried ones that he hadn't dug out, but it didn't matter, these people probably wouldn't be able to cause a bigger storm.

All the rumors were self-defeating when Li Ke appeared on the Drum Tower. Of course, Li Ke appeared on the Drum Tower not to give another speech, but to beat the drums to meet the enemy—the opponent is now less than 5000 years away from Beining. Now, although the opponent only has 2000 people left, Beining now only has [-] people. If you want to win more with less, you must establish a belief for everyone.Of course, there is no need to do anything, because these soldiers are all selected from the local area or nearby towns, and this is their home. In addition, the Khitan came to loot many towns along the way. I am afraid that those towns are already scorched. The common people... the young and middle-aged may still be able to stay, but the old, weak, women and children may have been slaughtered to death.

So some of these soldiers want to avenge their families, and some want to protect their homes. What Li Ke has to do is to tell them that reinforcements will arrive soon, and they just need to defend the city.

Of course, guarding is not just guarding. When Aguyin called out below, Li Ke swaggered up on the city wall and said with a smile: "I heard that you are looking for me?"

Aguyin suddenly had a bad premonition, Li Ke's armor was too silvery, Aguyin looked it over carefully, and his face changed: "The prince of Tang Dynasty didn't run away!"

Although Aguyin is a Khitan, this does not prevent him from clearly knowing the various class systems of the Tang Dynasty. Simply put, the silver patterns and materials on Li Ke's armor are not something ordinary people can wear, and there are two princes Then there must be one that is fake, and Aguyin judged in an instant that the one Wu Hulie went to pursue should be fake. After all, even if Li Ke authorized the armor, the other party would not dare to wear it like this.

In addition, the people in the carriage never showed up, and now... well, Li Ke didn't show up either, his helmet had a mask that completely covered his face - at first this was for fear of disfigurement It is said that he is afraid of bows and arrows and has no eyes.

This body is full of momentum, the only thing wrong is that he is holding a self-made loudspeaker amplifier. There is no way that although the two armies are confronting each other, it is impossible to be too close. The reason why Aguyin called the battle is mainly to give the opponent In a time of surrender, although the foreigners are barbaric, they have been moving closer to civilization.

Standing on the city wall, Li Ke couldn't see if there was any commotion on the other side, but no matter if there was or not, he took it as good, so he continued to raise the horn and shouted: "I'm afraid there is no news of your 5000 troops now? Now we There are still [-] elite soldiers in the city, if you surrender obediently, this king can forgive me, if you insist on going your own way, don’t blame this king for being cruel and merciless!"

An Ping was also wearing soft armor and followed Li Ke with all kinds of fears. After hearing Li Ke's shout, he couldn't help but look sideways for a moment-calling two thousand soldiers into twenty thousand, and his king didn't make drafts when he lied.

But this is also a common practice in war. If 1 horses are said to be 10 horses, the more exaggerated the better. It is best to scare the opponent away. Whether the opponent will believe it or not, anyway, Li Ke has already said it.

Anping was a little puzzled, why didn't he let the opponent retreat?Of course not. Li Ke reckoned that the opponent might be a veteran. It would be difficult to scare a veteran. If there were really [-] soldiers, asking them to surrender would be the correct way to scare them. It would be easy if the opponent retreated. Arouse the other party's vigilance.

Pretend to put on a show, after Li Ke finished speaking, he threw the big horn into Anping's arms, and walked down the city wall with his guards - [-] soldiers and horses have to show a show, so He is going out of town to meet the enemy!

Anyway, even if it is a risk, the other party must really believe that he has so many people in his hands. Now he only hopes that Pei Xuan can hold back those people, so that his strategy can be at least half successful.

After Anping knew that Li Ke was going out of the city, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp. He stood in front of Li Ke and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...you can't go..."

"If I can't go, no one can go." Li Ke checked his weapons - a spare bow, forty good arrows, and a long knife. To be honest, Li Ke really wanted to use a long lance. That thing is long enough, as the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger, but...he is not strong enough now, and that thing is too heavy, if he is not careful, he may be taken out by himself, so he can only give up using the long Mo Dao.

Aguyin didn't really want to worry about Li Ke's words at first, war is such a false and real thing, but when he saw that Li Ke led the soldiers out of the city without fear, he believed it sixty percent in his heart.

Both sides refused to surrender, so there was no other choice but to fight, and Li Ke risked his way out of the city just to show off his momentum.He also knew that this trip would be a narrow escape, but he had no other choice. Even if he stayed in the city, the day the city was broken would be the day when he was captured.

A Guyin sneered when he saw Li Ke, he was still worried that he would not be able to catch him, but he didn't expect that the person would be delivered to him directly.The opponent's top general came out, and Aguyin naturally had to go out too. I have to say that in terms of body size, the gap between the leaders of the two sides is a bit big. Li Ke couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw the opponent's tall horse - he felt like he was too much for his own side Prestige.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, Li Ke bent his bow and set an arrow without saying a word, and then Aguyin, who had looked down on Li Ke before, was so shot by Li Ke that he no longer dared to underestimate him—ten Continuous shooting is Li Ke's specialty.

Speaking of which, Li Ke's aim was pretty good, but no matter how good his aim was, he couldn't stand the opponent who had sacrificed his life to protect the master. All ten arrows shot at others, and at least six or seven of the guards around Aguyin died in an instant.Aguyin's eyes turned red in an instant. At this time, he didn't care about his doubts, and directly drew a knife and shouted something. Li Ke didn't understand what that sentence was, but he saw the savages on the other side rushing towards him screaming. I understand more or less.

At this time, Li Ke wisely retreated from the top position to the end to engage in long-range strikes-he had a brain problem to fight with a group of grown men at close range.

Li Ke brought out 1000 people, and the remaining 1000 people defended the city. It has to be said that in the case of an absolute advantage in numbers, unless he has a hero who can kill ten, the final result is nothing to think about.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Ke, who was far away, saw the flag of the Tang army-the reinforcements finally came!Li Ke was so excited that he directly drew his sword and wanted to make seven in and seven out of the enemy army. Of course, he didn't forget to take care of all his arrows to Aguyin before that.

Aguyin was stabbed with two arrows by Li Ke, but he didn't hurt his vitals. After seeing the reinforcements coming, he immediately ordered to retreat, but he didn't forget to shoot Li Ke with two arrows before retreating. According to reason The absolute quality of the armor on Li Ke's body guarantees that there will be no problems, but it is only this inch, and the arrow just pierced into the gap between the armor plates and directly hit his leg.

Li Ke became a temporary cripple at that time and was quickly transferred back to the city for treatment. Pulling out the arrow was a very painful thing, but this didn't stop Li Ke from being in a good mood. Of course he was happy not to die, and the pain meant that he was still alive. There is fate, the reinforcements came too timely, and the leader is the commander of the Beifu Commander's Mansion, and Li Ke has already begun to think about complimenting the other party.

However, there is a saying in this world that extreme joy begets sorrow. When Li Ke was happy to defend Beining, one of the seven people who followed Pei Xuan out of the city before came back with injuries all over his body and sent a message: There was a traitor among them. A brother led the Khitan people there, and he was the only one left among the seven in the end. The Duke of Hedong County fell off the cliff and did not know his life or death.

After hearing this, Li Ke was so angry that his eyes went dark, and he was unconscious again.
