Hou Junji
"The people at the front are flying the banner of our Great Tang.”
The battle cries in the distance attracted everyone's attention. Cheng Yaojin looked over from his horse and said to Li Jiang,""Your Highness, it should be Hou Junji.”
Li Jiang nodded. Hou Junji had been at the front line confronting the Turks, and now that he had caused so much trouble on the Turks 'side, if Hou Junji did not seize the opportunity to counterattack, he would be a famous general of the Great Tang in vain.
But what Hou Junji didn't know was that he had already decided to accept the Turks 'surrender.
"Men, go to the front and have Hou Junji pay his respects to the King of Nanyang!”
Cheng Yaojin ordered the soldiers beside him, and one of them immediately rode over.
This bodyguard was dressed in Tang uniform, so Hou Junji naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him. With the bodyguard's identity, it was easy for him to see Hou Junji.
"Are you Old Cheng's personal guard? Did His Majesty send Old Cheng to reinforce him?”
Hou Junji was about forty years old and had a refined and refined aura, but anyone who knew him well would not call him a refined and refined man.
In his early years, Hou Junji had been a hooligan, but after following Li Shimin in his rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, he had fought valiantly and was put in an important position by Li Shimin.
He was different from Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin had originally been part of the rebel army of Wagang Village, but he had surrendered to Li Shimin, so Hou Junji and Li Shimin's subordinates had always looked down on him.
The two sides had been at loggerheads over the years, but Hou Junji was not a petty person. When he received Cheng Yaojin's guard, he bluntly asked,"Now is the best time to fight, but Old Cheng didn't send troops and instead sent you to see this marshal, what is his intention?”
The opportunity he was referring to was the chaos in the Turks.
"Marshal Hou, the Turkic soldiers at the front have surrendered and are now our captives. Duke Su requests for a temporary truce.”
Hou Junji snorted at the guard's words."Men, take him down!"
"What? Marshal, what is the meaning of this?"
The bodyguard was stopped and quickly shouted,"I'm also a soldier of the Great Tang. Why is Marshal Hou treating me like this?”
"What a joke. I'll tell you why I treat you like this.”
Hou Junji stood up from the commander's tent and walked over to the soldier."The Turks have strong soldiers and horses. Even if we gather all the soldiers of the Great Tang, we won't be able to take them down so easily. What ability does that old man have to be able to subdue the Turks?”
"So you must be a spy sent by the Turks. Tell me, what is Mo Duo planning?" Hou Junji coldly snorted.”
"I'm innocent, Marshal Hou. I'm really Duke Su's trusted aide. The reason we defeated the Turks was all thanks to the King of Nanyang…"
"Your Highness the Nanyang King?"
Hou Junji had heard of Li Jiang's expedition with Cheng Yaojin, but he didn't believe that victory could be won by one person.
"You still dare to spout nonsense! Do you think that just because you're Old Cheng's personal guard, I won't dare to kill you?”
Hou Junji flew into a rage, feeling as if his intelligence had been insulted.
"Marshal, please wait."
"There is indeed something wrong with the Turks on the battlefield. Regardless of the reason, we can't kill Duke Su's personal guards."”
Hou Junji was only in a fit of anger, so he snapped back to his senses and coldly snorted."I'll spare your dog life for now. I'll punish you when I see Old Cheng!”
In the distance, Li Jiang's steed galloped, and Cheng Yaojin could see Hou Junji's marshal's flag flying in the wind.
"Your Highness, Hou Junji has arrived."
Cheng Yaojin reminded him. Li Jiang nodded and did not respond.
As a member of the royal family, he naturally had the aura of a royal family.
"Hou Junji greets the King of Nanyang.”
A few moments later, Hou Junji arrived in front of Li Jiang, but he didn't dismount. Instead, he clasped his hands."I received news that Your Highness has come to the army. Why did you appear on the battlefield? The battlefield is constantly changing. If anything happens to Your Highness, Old Cheng won't even be able to pay with his life.”
"How dare you! Hou Junji dared to disrespect the King of Nanyang!”
Before Li Jiang could speak, Cheng Yaojin had already shouted,"This battle was won by the King of Nanyang's divine might, so why didn't you kneel before him?”
"Oh? Old Cheng, do you know what sin it is to speak nonsense?”
Hou Junji, however, showed no signs of getting off his horse."Nanyang King is a descendant of the royal family. Even if he wants credit, you don't have to do this, right?”
He thought that Cheng Yaojin wanted to curry favor with Li Jiang and deliberately gave the credit to Li Jiang.
In truth, he had already seen that the Turkic soldiers had truly surrendered on the way to Li Jiang.
Although he did not know the reason, he absolutely did not believe that Li Jiang could do it alone.
