"The imperial army?" Li Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, "Now there is a lot of noise in the court, and everyone is flustered!"

Isn't it?

Is it true that the government has become like this now? Is there no one from His Majesty the Emperor to the important ministers who are capable of doing it?

Li Yi's slender finger clicked a few points on the map: "In the Khitan over there in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, several large tribes have united, and since the end of last winter and the beginning of the month, they have repeatedly invaded the border prefectures and counties.

Qin Nuan's face turned white in an instant, and the form was so grim!

She looked down at Yutu, the most terrifying of them was the Tubo army pressing the border, they and the rebels were one east and one west, directly pressing the Jiannan Protectorate and Jiangnan West Road, and there was a small Nanzhao stirring in the south, this was simply discussed!

Li Yi tapped his fingers: "I'm afraid that the thieves have already had contact with them! I even suspect that he is discussing with the Tubo people, one to take the south of the sword and the other to the south of the Yangtze River, in a vain attempt to swallow up half of the south of the Yangtze River in my Tang Dynasty!"

The imperial court naturally thought of this, so the Jiannan Road side had to increase its troops, and the Jiangnan West Road to the east of Jiannan became the main battlefield and main force against the rebels.

Yangzhou is also on the Yangtze River defense line at the front, although everyone speculates that the rebels will not easily cross the river and go north, but who can say for sure?

Qin Nuan couldn't help but ask the question he had asked before: "Will the rebels really come to attack Yangzhou?"

"Yes!" Li Yi looked at the map and still replied in the affirmative.

"What then?"

Li Yi didn't seem to have much to worry about: "They can't beat Yangzhou!"

Qin Nuan is not so optimistic, as far as she knows, this festival degree envoy in Yangzhou is not as good as the Xiao Chun festival degree envoy who committed suicide by drinking a sword in Jiangnan Dongdao!

Naturally, the real strongman court was appointed to Anbei, Anxi, and Jiannan, and these generals in the splendid land south of the Yangtze River were mostly embroidered pillows with strong backgrounds, and occasionally they had one or two "mountain bandits", so they proudly felt superior, and seemed to be much stronger than those colleagues who had never seen blood!

Li Yi looked at Qin Nuan's pale little face and smiled: "Don't worry, with me, I will keep you safe!

At this moment, Qin Nuan couldn't help crying: At the moment of this war, no one knows what kind of changes will happen, but she can make such a promise!

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the will of the imperial court arrived.

The imperial court sent 100,000 soldiers from various administrative offices to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, and Gao Xianzhi, the general of the right Jinwu, was the marshal, Wang Chengye, the deputy marshal, and Bian Lingcheng was the supervisor.

On the Yangzhou side, Huainan Jiedu made Gao Teng have to stick to the natural Yangtze River defense line from Yangzhou to Qizhou.

When Qin Nuan heard the name Gao Xianzhi, she immediately remembered that in the Tang history she knew, Gao Xianzhi was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who served as the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and had great achievements, but in the Anshi Rebellion, Gao Xianzhi was defeated in the first round against An Lushan, and then he was framed by the prison army Bian Lingcheng and was ordered to be executed by the emperor!

Qin Nuan suddenly lost a lot of expectations for this counterinsurgency......

I am afraid that the road to counterinsurgency is a bit difficult......

However, the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court was still on the way south, but the puppet emperor of Jinling sent an envoy to Yangzhou.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the puppet emperor Kang Lushan of the "Great Zhou" sent an envoy to Yangzhou.

There was an uproar in Yangzhou, and he suddenly became nervous, estimating that this messenger was probably here to persuade him to surrender, and then he was going to send troops to attack.

Gao Teng, who was patrolling the forward defense line, heard the news and rushed back to Yangzhou City overnight with his personal guards.

Early the next morning, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Kongwen sent a soldier under his command to invite the county lord to discuss the matter.

The man who joined the army was not very young, with gray hair, a long beard, a majestic appearance, and a very graceful appearance.

Li Yi still asked the guards to bring people to the study of the palace to meet them.

When the adult who joined the army walked into the courtyard of the palace study, Li Yi was still teasing the little parrot under the porch, until the adult came close and saluted, then put down the bird food jar in his hand and said, "Lord Lin is exempt!"

Then he said: "It's just to send someone to pass on a message, how can Kong Tingshi let Master Lin run errands? Are you still afraid that I won't go?"

She put her hands in her hands, stood on the steps and looked at the Lin Senjun with a smile.

That Lin Senjun is probably a respectable person in normal times, and he has never been treated like this in Yangzhou, and he was actually put in the courtyard and stood like a subordinate talking back!

Hearing Li Yi's words, his face suddenly trembled a few times, his beard trembled and trembled, and finally pulled out a smile: "The county lord has always understood the righteousness, Lord Assassin Shi has something important to discuss with the county lord, and it is related to the safety of Yangzhou, how can the county lord refuse?"

"Knowing the righteousness?hmph! Sure enough, it's not a good thing for the county lord?" Li Yi sneered: "Anyway, what does Lord Thorn Shi want me to do?"

Lin Senjun sent out a high hat, but he didn't want Li Yi to speak so unreasonably, and directly tore people's faces, and suddenly the old face couldn't hang up, and his cheeks were red with anger, but now he really has a request for help, so he can only endure the rudeness of this woman, and he must do a good job of what Lord Assassin Shi explained!

He held back for a moment, and arched his hand: "How dare Lord Assassin Shi send the county lord! Lord Assassin Shi just has something important to discuss with the county lord!"

"What?"

"The county lord will know as soon as he goes! The stakes are so high that he doesn't dare to put his beak on his humble position!"

"Yesterday, Jinling puppet emperor Kang Fang sent an envoy to Yangzhou, and this morning the assassin Shi came to invite me to discuss the matter, you just don't say it, I also know that this matter must be related to the thief surnamed Kang. ”

Lin Senjun's head hung lower, and he just said blindly: "The county lord will know as soon as he goes!"

Li Yi had enough of playing tricks on this person, so he lost interest, "Okay, I'll go with you!

Qin Nuan accompanied Li Yi to the backyard to change his clothes and come out.

It is still men's clothing, with a golden crown and bundled hair, a black flowing cloud brocade robe, dark gold silk threads embroidered with cloud patterns, and the light flows faintly when walking, and a gold thread embroidered gold cockles looms in the flowing clouds.

She also had a gold-sheathed sword inlaid with rubies hanging from her waist, and her jade-carved face was covered with a thin layer of frost, showing a bit of chilling coldness.

Li Yi walked out of the door, suddenly stopped again, and said to Qin Nuan: "Ah Nuan, you also follow me to get a little more knowledge! Yanluo, you go and help her dress up." ”

Qin Nuan sat in front of the makeup mirror, watching Yan Luo's pair of white and tender hands smearing slowly on his face, occasionally drawing with a pen, and stopped after a while, and smiled at her: "It's done!"

In the mirror, Qin Nuan's appearance has not changed much, but her age looks more than ten years older, she looks like a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman, her lips are much thinner, and the corners of her lips are slightly lowered, showing a little stern and mean.

Qin Nuan pretended to be the female history next to Li Yi and followed her into the carriage, and began to feel a little apprehensive in his heart, Li Yi not only set up a full set of honor guards, but also brought a large group of black-robed guards, all with horizontal knives at their waists, and specially ordered the side of the evil god Ding Yin to accompany him.

Such a murderous look...... Is it for deliberations?

The careful Qin Nuan also saw that when the army lord of the Assassin Mansion saw the appearance of the county lord of Guangling like this, his face turned white, and his hands under his sleeves trembled a little
