Chapter 76 I'm going to meet General Yuchi!
How could Yuchi Gong not be angry when the duck that was in his hand flew away?
After dealing with the remaining enemies in the corridor, Yuchi Gong came to settle the score.
Yuchi Gong is not the stupid and rough guy portrayed in novels and film and television dramas.
Yuchi Gong came from a prominent family, his family had been officials for generations. Although his family had fallen into poverty for a time, he soon rose to the position of Imperial Doctor of the Sui Dynasty through his own efforts.
Chao San Da Fu is a rank for civil servants, and it is a rank below the fifth grade.
A stupid and uncouth person cannot hold such an official position.
Yuchi Gong's wife, Su, also came from a prominent family. She was the daughter of Su Qian, the former governor and commander-in-chief of Danzhou in the Sui Dynasty. She was known for being "chaste, gentle, quiet, and kind."
Yuchi Gong and his wife, Su, were so deeply in love that even after Su's death many years ago, Yuchi Gong did not take another wife.
Historically, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he wanted to marry his daughter to Yuchi Gong, but Yuchi Gong did not agree.
There is no way a stupid and rough guy can have a deep love relationship with a girl from a famous family.
Just like Li Yuanji himself, he didn't have much knowledge and didn't have much in common with Yang Miaoyan in terms of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
If he didn't have broad knowledge, he and Yang Miaoyan might have nothing to talk about when they were together, let alone develop a deep love relationship.
The only thing about Yuchi Gong that has anything to do with being stupid and rough is his temper.
Yuchi Gong's personality is a bit straightforward and a bit arrogant.
During daily banquets, if someone with less achievements and abilities than him sat above him, he would feel unhappy and would attack the other person on the spot.
When Li Yuanji heard what Yuchi Gong said, he looked at Su Dingfang in surprise.
You are so good, Su Dingfang. Looking at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, you have a really dirty heart.
I was wondering why you insisted on getting me to take Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun's heads. You made such a fuss just to share the spoils with me so that I can take the blame for you?!
Su Dingfang felt Li Yuanji's gaze and realized that Li Yuanji had misunderstood him, but Su Dingfang did not explain. Instead, he carried his lance and strode towards Yuchi Gong with his head held high.
When Yuchi Gong saw Su Dingfang, his eyes widened and he shouted, "You thief!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuchi Gong raised his lance and rode towards Su Dingfang.
"Hand over Zhou Wenju's head immediately!"
Yuchi Gong galloped on his horse and shouted at Su Dingfang.
Judging from his posture, as long as Su Dingfang dared to say no, he would immediately raise his lance and stab Su Dingfang.
Su Ding was not afraid of Yuchi Gong who was riding on his horse. He stared at Yuchi Gong and said coldly, "Yuchi Jingde, you are also a veteran on the battlefield, why are you so shameless?
On the battlefield, the key is to take the initiative in killing enemies and beheading generals.
Whoever cuts off the enemy's head first gets the head."
"How brave!"
Yuchi Gong shouted angrily, rode his horse to Su Dingfang, raised his lance and stabbed him.
Su Dingfang remained fearless in the face of danger and raised his lance to block.
Yuchi Gong rode past on his horse, and Su Dingfang stood with his spear across his body.
Yuchi Gong stared at Su Dingfang and said, "You are quite capable. No wonder you dare to snatch someone's head in front of me!"
Yuchi Gong was very strong. When he charged on horseback, the force of his horse spear was even greater, and few people could withstand it.
The fact that Su Dingfang was able to take the spear steadily and not take a single step back shows that Su Dingfang is very capable.
"But it's not yours, so you shouldn't steal it. If you steal it, you have to hand it over!"
Yuchi Gong threatened.
Su Dingfang said sarcastically: "Yuchi Jingde, the enemy's heads are all over the corridor. Could it be that you have seen them? Are they all yours?"
Yuchi Gong was enraged and shouted, "What a thief, what a sharp tooth!"
Yuchi Gong had no intention of engaging in a war of words with Su Dingfang, so he urged his horse on again and rushed towards Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang did not tolerate Yuchi Gong and swept out with his lance.
The two men's lances collided in the air, making a buzzing sound.
Su Dingfang took two steps back before he could stabilize his formation.
"Yuchi Jingde, you killed Zhou Wenju very close, but there were still 300 shield soldiers guarding him. I had a chance to take him down from top to bottom, so why didn't I do that?"
Su Dingfang was also a little annoyed and shouted at Yuchi Gong.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen next.
Yuchi Gong led his troops to attack Zhou Wenju, but no one knew how long it would take him to defeat Zhou Wenju's 300 shield soldiers.
No one can tell whether Zhou Wenju will be able to counterattack with the help of these three hundred shield soldiers.
Even if Yuchi Gong had an absolute advantage and was sure of victory, he would still have to pay a certain price to defeat Zhou Wenju's 300 shield soldiers.
Su Dingfang was in a favorable position and could take down Zhou Wenju at the lowest cost, so why didn't he do it?!
Yuchi Gong ignored Su Dingfang and urged his horse to charge towards Su Dingfang again.
Su Dingfang picked up his lance, rushed forward, and fought with Yuchi Gong.
Li Yuanji listened to Su Dingfang's words and roughly understood what was going on.
Su Dingfang had no intention of using him as a scapegoat, nor did Su Dingfang intend to snatch Yuchi Gong's head.
As Su Dingfang said at the beginning, killing enemies and beheading generals on the battlefield is all about gaining the initiative.
No matter how much you pay, it will be useless if you can't take the enemy's head.
If someone else takes down the enemy's head with just a little effort, that is also someone else's credit.
As long as Su Dingfang had not snatched Zhou Wenju's head from under Yuchi Gong's nose when Yuchi Gong was about to capture him, then Su Dingfang had done nothing wrong.
When fighting on the battlefield, others will not wait for you.
If you can't defeat the enemy in a short time, do you want to let other soldiers wait for you?
is it possible?
"Yuchi Gong, have you had enough of the trouble?"
After Li Yuanji learned the details, he spoke in a deep voice.
Yuchi Gong turned a deaf ear and continued to fight with Su Dingfang.
Li Yuanji's face darkened.
Yuchi Gong didn't give any face at all and was a bit too arrogant.
If you are too arrogant, it is no longer arrogance but domineering.
Wu Heita and Niu Jinda saw that Li Yuanji's face looked bad, and they hurriedly shouted at Yuchi Gong.
"Brother Yuchi, please stop immediately."
Yuchi Gong still turned a deaf ear.
In Yuchi Gong's eyes, Li Yuanji was his defeated general, and a defeated general had no right to give him orders.
Yuchi Gong is not the kind of person who thinks, "Just because you are a prince, I must obey your orders."
Historically, when Li Shimin hosted a banquet for him and a group of colleagues, he got angry with others over a seating issue. Li Daozon kindly explained a few words, but he became furious and beat Li Daozon. Li Daozon was caught off guard and one of his eyes was almost blinded.
Li Yuanji saw that after Wu Heita and Niu Jinda had tried to persuade him, Yuchi Gong still insisted on doing what he wanted. He immediately said to the guards around him with a cold face, "Go get a horse. I'm going to meet General Yuchi!"
The guard agreed and hurried to get the horse.
Wu Heita and Niu Jinda saw that Li Yuanji was also angry and cried out in their hearts that something was wrong.
"Go and invite Shubao!"
Wu Heita hurriedly said to Niu Jinda.
Niu Jinda nodded heavily, took a horse from his subordinate, turned over and sat on the horse's back, and rushed into the corridor.
Now that Li Yuanji was doomed, they could no longer just stand by and watch.
Yuchi Gong did not hold back when he attacked, and if he accidentally hurt Li Yuanji, it would be troublesome.
Before they left, Li Shimin repeatedly told them to take good care of Li Yuanji's safety. If Li Yuanji was injured, they would not be able to report to Li Shimin.
Li Yuanji and the others could not persuade him, and Yuchi Gong, when he got angry, would not give them face.
They could only ask Qin Qiong to come forward and intimidate Yuchi Gong.
When they sent someone to invite Qin Qiong, Li Yuanji had already climbed onto his horse and picked up his lance.
Li Yuanji ordered Su Dingfang in the field: "Su Dingfang, step back!"
Su Dingfang heard Li Yuanji's cold voice and guessed that Li Yuanji was probably angry. He immediately withdrew from the battlefield without any hesitation.
When Yuchi Gong saw that Li Yuanji was going to take action himself, he reined in his horse and let Su Dingfang go.
"Is this thief your Highness's man? Your Highness is going to support this thief?"
Yuchi Gong glanced at Su Dingfang who had just left, and stared at Li Yuanji questioning him.
Li Yuanji stared at Yuchi Gong coldly and said, "It's not that I support you, I just can't stand you bullying others and your arrogance."
Yuchi Gong smiled and said, "Your Highness is no match for me..."
As he spoke, Yuchi Gong inserted the horse lance into the ground beside him, as if to remind Li Yuanji not to forget the shame of having the lance snatched three times in the past.
If Li Yuanji insists on fighting with him, then don't blame him for humiliating Li Yuanji again.
" You'll know if you're a match for me after you try."
Li Yuanji said coldly, and then reminded: "I advise you to pick up the horse lance, lest you lose and go out and tell others that I bullied you."
Yuchi Gong narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully: "You can't use the horse lance to deal with His Highness."
Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows, "That's pretty arrogant."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuanji rushed out with a lance in his hand.
No matter what, we must teach Yuchi Gong a lesson today, otherwise he will become arrogant.
When Yuchi Gong saw Li Yuanji rushing towards him with a lance, he immediately urged his horse to charge towards Li Yuanji.
"How dare you, Yuchi Gong?!"
A roar came from a distance. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Luo Shixin with a furious look on his face, riding a fast horse and galloping towards me.
Luo Shixin had received news not long ago that Li Yuanji had arrived at the corridor outside Mingshui City, and he hurried over on horseback.
If it weren't for Li Yuanji's great help in the battle of Mingshui City, he and his troops would have surely died here.
Li Yuanji saved his and his troops' lives. When he learned of Li Yuanji's whereabouts, he naturally rushed to Li Yuanji to thank him as soon as possible.
But just as he reached the entrance of the corridor, he saw Yuchi Gong about to attack Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji had been very kind to him, so how could he possibly watch Yuchi Gong murder Li Yuanji?
So he spoke up to stop Yuchi Gong from a distance.
But Yuchi Gong and Li Yuanji had already urged their horses to charge towards the other side, and the two of them were exerting all their strength and there was no way they could stop.
