Not a day, Li Xiao arrived in Ningde, Ningde is the northern country of Kyoto, high-rise buildings, busy traffic, Li Xiao asked people about the location of the palace, when he arrived at the palace it was already evening, Li Xiao traveled a long way, hungry and sleeping, his clothes were already in tatters, and he saw the guards of the palace.

said: "Brother Lao Guard, send a message, saying that Chunzhen taught Li Xiao to ask to see the saint."

When the guard saw this person and the beggar, he was frightened: "Bold beggar, how can you enter the palace as soon as you say it, retreat quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

At this time, another guard stabbed him and said softly: "Your Majesty has a decree, saying that the Chunzhen Sect is coming, report it quickly, you forgot?" The guard patted his head, "Thanks to my brother's reminder, you are waiting here, I will report it"

After a while, a few heralds came out, brought Li Xiao into the palace, washed and changed clothes, met Han Ping, performed the emperor's salute, and kowtowed to the four senior brothers.

Li Xiao has not seen the four senior brothers for eight years, and he misses him very much, the four senior brothers love and add to him, Li Xiao himself loves to joke, and is good at drinking and gambling, but he will converge a lot before the senior brothers, and this time when he saw the emperor, his heart was extremely excited and naturally converged more, and when he heard Han Ping's praise, he also called himself a little junior brother, and felt a lot more cordial, and the usual hippie smiling face was gone.

Li Xiao replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I saw the marks left by the senior brothers, so I hurried over, about half a month ago, I was in a town outside Zixuanguan, gambling with a few Sanling clansmen"

Speaking of this, Li Xiao was dull, peeked at several senior brothers, and saw the four senior brothers frowning, because the Chunzhen Sect prohibits gambling.

Han Ping was also stunned when he heard it, and said: "Tell me directly, what's wrong" Li Xiao continued to say, "I, I, I lost money, so I said that they were out of thousands, and they were still not convinced, so we started fighting"

Han Ping sneered when he heard this, and then said, "Where are they my opponents, I put them down in three or two strokes, and one of the Three Spirit Clan fell a piece of assembly order, so I tortured and learned that the Three Spirit Clan had gathered an army of 400,000 and attacked Zi Xuanguan on the 15th of this month, when the moon was full."

After everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and Han Ping was shocked and said: "But the truth" Changzhi also asked: "Xiao'er, is the information accurate?"

Li Xiao said, "I must not be wrong, after I knew the news, I arrested a few more people from the Three Spirit Clan, and they all said the same, I have already sent someone to pass the word to Zixuan"

Han Ping said, "Maybe it's the Three Spirit Clan's tricks, they are not only big, but their IQ is also very high, today is August 16, but they haven't received any battle reports, right, Prime Minister"

Zhao Xun said: "Yes, there is indeed no battle report, today there is only the war pigeon of General Nanjuan, saying that the 200,000 army arrived at Chen Youguan yesterday evening, and there is nothing else."

Han Ping nodded and said: "Four senior brothers, presumably you haven't seen your little junior brother for a long time, you catch up with the old days, rest for two days, I have other arrangements" At this time, the herald ran in, "The war pigeon is coming" Han Ping was startled "Quick report"

Herald: "The guard of Zixuanguan Jiang Mohan reported, on the night of the full moon, about 400,000 three spirit troops attacked Zixuanguan, and I and 80,000 defenders swore to defend Zixuanguan, and lived and died with Zixuanguan, but the three spirit army attacked fiercely, and I hope Your Majesty will send support as soon as possible"

Everyone was taken aback after hearing this, and Han Ping was even more shocked, "Draft, quickly send Nanjuan to support Zi Xuanguan, don't hesitate" At this time, another herald ran in and said, "War pigeon is coming" Han Ping was shocked again: "Quick report"

The herald said, "Chen Shuifu guard general Li Zheng reported, saw the beacon fire of Zi Xuanguan, and sent troops to rescue, but in the early hours of this morning, Zi Xuanguan was breached, 80,000 defenders were all killed, none of them were spared, I reported with the other six provinces, and has asked Chen Yuguan for help"

After everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar, and Han Pingqi fainted significantly: "The impregnable Zi Xuanguan, the 80,000 defenders, can't resist the attack of the Three Spirit Clan overnight, waste, rice buckets"

Everyone knelt down, "Your Majesty is angry, take care of your body" At this time, another herald ran in, "The war pigeon is coming" Han Ping said weakly: "Speak"

"General Nanjuan reported that in the early morning of August 16, after the Sanling clan broke through Zixuanguan, the troops were divided into seven routes, respectively, to attack Chenshui, Tianyang, Dongning, Loulan, Fanyang, Shujun, Rongze Seven Mansions, the three Ling clan's marching speed was too fast, our army's support did not arrive, so it lost the Northeast Seven Mansions, most of the people of the Seven Mansions entered Chen Youguan, and most of the defenders were scattered, and now the Three Spirits have been a hundred miles outside Chen Youguan to go down to the village, there is no intention to attack Chen Yu for the time being, our army has been assembled, waiting for His Majesty's will"

Everyone was in a commotion again, and then they saw Han Ping fainting and unconscious; Li Xiao was taken aback, "It's over, it's over, my Ying'er is in Dongning, I don't know how" After thinking for a while, he found that Han Ping had fainted, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Han Ping, who was on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, and ordered someone to summon civil and military generals, strategists and cronies, and after the people arrived, Han Ping asked, "Is there any news about the battlefield?"

Zhao Xun replied: "There is no news from the northern battlefield, but there is a letter from the south."

Han Ping coughed and said, "What did Nanguo say?"

Zhao Xun said: "Back to Your Majesty, the southern country is unfortunate about what happened to us, the Dimo Pass in the south is also being attacked, the 200,000 troops of the Yilan clan will be impassable in the Dimo Pass, but there is no large-scale attack, just send troops to harass, the Yilan clan is testing the strength of the southern country, King Jing has sent a team of 50,000 military horses to support us"

Han Ping said: "That's really good, the soldiers of the southern country are brave and good at fighting, and their strength is far superior to ours, and the Yilan clan will naturally retreat if they can't take advantage" Han Ping on the bed was weak, and complained in his heart that he didn't make a strong effort to discover the military, so that the Sanling clan succeeded.

Li Xiao looked at Han Ping with an inexplicable sadness, the fall of Dongning made him even more uneasy, thinking about Miss Ying'er, thinking about the evil committed by the Sanling clan, thinking about the scene of the country's ruin, which made his blood boil, and he remembered everything for the love of the country, the love of the family, and the love of the nation, and everything on the Sanling clan, Li Xiao clenched his fists, knelt in front of Han Ping and said: "Your Majesty, although Li Xiao is not talented, Li Xiao is willing to fight for the country, the people, Your Majesty, and the homeland, please ask Your Majesty for permission."

After hearing this, Han Ping thought to himself, "Master asked Senior Brother to pass the word, let me reuse this kid, maybe he is really outstanding, you might as well try" and said: "Well, it would be better if the little junior brother was willing to go on the expedition,"

Then he shouted: "Where is the General Department of Soldiers and Horses?" "The old minister is here" An old man with a white beard walked up to Han Ping, and Han Ping looked at this person: "Old General Yinzheng, how many soldiers and horses are there in Kyoto?"
