Blackwater City.
When Yin Shisan, Zhang Zhongjian, Old Goatskin, and the others arrived outside the city, the city was already bustling with activity.
Pedestrians on the streets were shouting, clamoring, and peddling.
Yin Shisan looked at the old sheepskin." What happened?”
The old sheepskin was the local tyrant of Blackwater City, so he knew the most about the matters in the city.
"Hehe, I'm afraid your 2000 good horses have arrived.”
The old sheepskin's words stunned Yin Shisan." So fast?”
He knew that the fake Jie Li would definitely give him 2000 good horses, but he did not expect that the 2000 good horses would arrive first when they arrived at Black Water City.
"The good Turkic horses are not only in the king's tent, but also in other places," the old sheepskin explained. When we set off from the king's tent, we diverted Lord Sonic's attention, so someone set off to inform the horse farm to think of a way to escort good horses over. Therefore, when we arrived, the horses also arrived.”
Yin Shisan nodded. Only then did he understand the cause and effect of the matter.
"Sir, you don't have to worry about Sir Sunis's power after we arrive here. You can rest for a day and set off for the Central Plains tomorrow.”
"No!"
Yin Shisan shook his head. As the saying goes, a long night brings many dreams. Although he knew that the old sheepskin's words were credible, who knew what other changes would happen after a night.
"We'll rest for two hours and set off immediately.”
Seeing Yin Shisan's firm attitude, the old sheepskin did not say anything.
Yin Shisan didn't even enter the city. He just waited outside Black Water City and ate some dried food and meat strips with Zhang Zhongjian.
Soon, the old sheepskin brought 2000 good horses out of the city. These were real good horses. When Zhang Zhongjian saw them, his eyes lit up.
Yin Shisan smiled and nodded. He didn't even need to ask. Zhang Zhongjian's gaze had already explained everything.
"I don't need your protection on this trip to the Central Plains.”"We have people to escort the good horses," Yin Shisan said to the old sheepskin.”
As soon as Yin Shisan finished speaking, another 100 people came out of Blackwater City. They were all from the Zhang family. They were arranged by the Zhang family's shopkeeper that Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian met before.
When Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian left Blackwater City, Zhang Zhongjian had ordered that the four gates of Blackwater City must have Zhang family's people waiting for them every day. Once they saw Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian return, they had to inform the shopkeeper immediately and arrange for 100 people to come out to receive them.
Just now, Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian were waiting at the door. When the old sheepskin went in to urge the horses, the Zhang family had already discovered the two of them and went to report to the shopkeeper. Thus, the shopkeeper sent out 100 people as agreed.
"Haha, since Milord has already made arrangements, we won't follow. Milord, have a good journey.”The old sheepskin bowed at Yin Shisan.
The one hundred Turkic guards bowed to Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian, especially the Turkic youth in charge of driving the carriage. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Yin Shisan.
If it wasn't for Yin Shisan, he wouldn't have been able to repay Old Man Yang for saving his life.
"See you again!"
Yin Shisan whipped his horse's butt.
"Giddyup!"
The horse raised its hooves and carried Yin Shisan to the south, heading straight for the Central Plains. Zhang Zhongjian followed closely behind, followed by the 100 people of the Zhang family and the good horses they escorted.
After entering the Central Plains, they should have passed through Taiyuan first. However, Taiyuan was still occupied by Liu Wuzhou. Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian led the team to take a detour and only saw Taiyuan's city tower from afar.
Flags fluttered in the wind on the city tower, and soldiers stood in great numbers. They looked very majestic and seemed very difficult to break through.
But Yin Shisan merely scoffed at this. Now that Liu Wuzhou's Great General Yuchi Jingde had been captured, the five thousand Turkic soldiers were gone, and even the Jie Li Khan, whom Liu Wuzhou did not know, was in the Tang army camp, what else could he do?
"Zhongjian!"
Yin Shisan asked Zhang Zhongjian, who was beside him, as they were getting further and further away from Taiyuan.
"What do you think Liu Wuzhou is thinking of to attack the Great Tang?”
"Join forces with Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong to resist the Great Tang army.”
Yin Shisan nodded. Zhang Zhongjian's thoughts coincided with his.
"Wang Shichong definitely won't step out.”" With Luo Cheng holding him back, he won't have the chance to split his forces and join forces with Liu Wuzhou," Yin Shisan said. But Dou Jiande…"
Dou Jiande occupied Hebei, just east of Liu Wuzhou's forces. Yin Shisan guessed that with Dou Jiande's bravery, if Liu Wuzhou asked him for help, he might send troops.
"Dou Jiande has Liu Heita and Su Dingfang under him. Although they are brave, they might not be able to do anything.”Zhang Zhongjian raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Shisan, obviously feeling disdain for Dou Jiande.
Yin Shisan shook his head and smiled bitterly." Why would I be afraid of Liu Heita and Su Dingfang? I'm only worried about my third brother, Xu Shiji!”
Xu Shiji, also known as the legendary Xu Maogong of later generations, was also one of the Jia Family's 46 Friends. He was ranked third, ahead of Cheng Yaojin.
In the legends of later generations, Xu Maogong had the image of a Taoist priest who could calculate. However, the true Xu Shiji in history was actually a Confucian general who possessed both civil and military skills. His strength was extraordinary.
"You're afraid that Dou Jiande will send Xu Shiji?”
"Yes!"
Yin Shisan had said that almost all of the Jia Clan's 46 friends were in the Tang army's main camp. If Xu Shiji was sent to attack the Tang army, things would be very troublesome.
"Humph!" "You can make Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong betray Wang Shichong and join Li Shimin, but can't you make Xu Shiji defect?"”
Yin Shisan raised an eyebrow." Zhongjian, it's not that simple. My third brother is extraordinary. He may look boorish, but he's very meticulous. He may not be devoted to the Tang Empire now. Even if I have a way, I can't use it if he doesn't want to.”
"Even brotherhood is useless?" Zhang Zhongjian said.
"Useless!" Yin Shisan shook his head and said to Zhang Zhongjian,""This Third Brother of mine only has the word 'reason' in his heart. He doesn't care about friendship or morality at all. To put it bluntly, what he thinks is right is right, and what others say is wrong is also right. Thus, even if the forty-six members of Jia Jialou are in the Great Tang, as long as Third Brother thinks that there's something wrong with the Tang Emperor, he will still not come.”
"Humph!" "This person is not bad," Zhang Zhongjian said.”
Yin Thirteen was speechless.
He had not expected Zhang Zhongjian to actually admire Xu Shiji.
"This matter needs to be discussed in detail. Let's go to Jiexiu first.”
While they were talking, Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian had led a team of 100 people and 2000 horses to Jiexiu City.
When Li Shiming received the news, he personally opened the door to welcome Yin Shisan. When he saw that Yin Shisan had returned unscathed, he was so excited that he went forward to hold his hands." Advisor Jun, you're finally back."”
"Haha, Your Highness, how have you been?”Yin Shisan laughed.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Yin Shisan looked at the group behind Li Shimin and saw that other than Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and the other sworn brothers of Jia Jialou, there was an unfamiliar face.
That person stood between Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. His face was resolute, his face purple, and his face was full of righteousness.
" This…" Yin Shisan was stunned. Even if he used his toes to think, he would know who that was. Xu Shiji? He had already pledged allegiance to the Great Tang?
