In the Tang Palace in Jinling City, Li Yu, the king of Tang, sat on the dragon chair, his temples were frosty, and his eyebrows and eyes were blazing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this moment, although he is the king of Tang, he is very anxious in his heart. Early in the morning, he summoned the Chinese military generals of the dynasty to discuss the Song army's assembly on the border, and the quarrel was fierce, almost everyone said that they would surrender to Song, but few people were willing to offer advice to respond to the battle: "Nine out of ten people surrendered, but none of them understood the intention of Shu?" Li Yu thought and frowned. In the long run, I am afraid that it will only take two or three years for this luxurious palace to be owned by Emperor Song.

"Report, the prince asks to see!" a palace man went to the palace to report. Li Yu raised his hand and said, "Xuan!" After a moment, the crown prince Li Zhongyu ran two steps up to the hall and knelt down to bow and salute and said, "The son of the minister to see his father!" Li Yu motioned for him to stand up, and Li Zhongyu continued: "I just saw that the ministers were happy, but they discussed a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Li Yu shook his head and said: "With a happy face? I think these people wish they had died earlier, so they could wag their tails and beg for mercy in front of the new master!"

Li Zhongyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What does the emperor mean, these people are the main to surrender?" Li Yu listened, slapped the table and said: "Why is it the main surrender? They advocate early surrender!" If the Song soldiers came over, they would not cut off my head and sacrifice it to Emperor Song?" Li Zhongyu listened, and instantly lowered his face and said: "Father, we have all lowered our value and changed our name to 'Tang Wang', what else will he do with Emperor Song?"

Li Yu sighed and said, "He wants me to be in this corner of the south of the Yangtze River!" he said, looking at Li Zhongyu and said, "Actually, don't look at these people in the court who say surrender, but there are really people who ask me to come up and ask for a battle!" As soon as the words fell, the two palace people used wooden trays to present the three-foot-thick fold. Li Yu picked up the top book and said: "This is the battle memo submitted by General Li Jianwei, and several names are mentioned on it. I don't know much about military affairs on weekdays, so you can go down and investigate it for me!" he said, picking up the second book and continuing, "This is what your brother wrote about the distribution of gang forces in my Tang Kingdom, and he often walks among the people, so he has detailed information on this. Take a look at whether there are any folk gangs that can be used by the imperial court. ”

After that, the palace people handed over the two books to Li Zhongyu's hands. Li Zhongyu nodded yes, opened the two books and read them carefully. After reading it, I couldn't help but nod and smile: "General Li is not good at words, but I didn't expect to have such a heart to serve the country in my heart, which is commendable!" On weekdays, we always make fun of him, saying that he doesn't do his job. It seems that he has also put a lot of effort into it. It is indeed a good way to unite the forces of the gangs!"

Li Yu nodded and said, "There is a gang that impresses me in the fold, and that is the one who is fragrant and grassy...... It is said that all of them are female disciples?" Li Zhongyu thought for a moment and said: "The specific situation, the son will go down and discuss with his younger brother carefully, whether it is worth uniting, and I will come to report to my father again." As he spoke, he changed his words and said, "Father, in fact, the son has another matter to please." Li Yu nodded, and Li Zhongyu continued.

"Erchen actually had the idea of recruiting soldiers for a long time. As early as when Song and Shu were fighting, Erchen felt that the strength of my Tang State was too different from that of the Song State, especially in the number of soldiers, the Song State was several times that of me. Before he came, he discussed with his younger brothers and sisters, and wanted to recruit soldiers from the people to prepare for the first battle against the Song Dynasty! I wonder if my father agreed?" Li Yu nodded and said, "Why don't you agree? This is a good thing! It is rare for the children to have a heart." As he spoke, he thought about it and said, "But as the prince of the Tang Kingdom, it is inconvenient for you to show up." Tell your younger brothers and sisters to go, and you can stay in the palace!" Li Zhongyu nodded yes.

Li Yu said, picked up another book and said, "That's right." There is a military newspaper from the front, your childhood playmate, the one named Han ......" When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly couldn't remember his name. Li Zhongyu added: "Father is talking about Han Xiaoyue?" Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Han Xiaoyue." I heard that the Shu Kingdom was defeated, and the whereabouts of his father Han Tao are unknown?" Li Zhongyu sighed and nodded, "Yes." The son asked someone to inquire, and Han Xiaoyue escaped from the prison tent of the Song army after several setbacks. But then, there was no news of him. However, there are also rumors that his father and son have committed treason to the enemy......"

"This is really nonsense! Han Tao and his son are definitely not the kind of people who are disloyal and unfilial!" As he spoke, Li Yu sighed and continued, "Alas, he is also a hard-working child. At the beginning, you asked me to exchange "Jianhua Benji" for peace, and now you look at the fate of the Shu Kingdom. They gave this book away, and it was not like the country was destroyed?" Li Zhongyu said: "Erchen really thought too simple at that time. I should have expected that what Emperor Song wanted was not only a secret book of swordsmanship. Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Only General Li and my sons and daughters in the court are of great use." Today, my father listened to those ministers for a day, and his body was a little tired. You stand down first, and tell your brothers and sisters to prepare well!" Li Zhongyu nodded and retreated.

At the same time, Han Xiaoyue and his party had also arrived near Tanzhou, on the border of the Song and Tang Dynasties. It has been half a year since I left the dry Zen Temple, and everyone has been exploring all the way, only to know that Fangcaohui is deep in the vicinity of Jinling, the capital of the Tang Kingdom. The Great War is imminent, and there will inevitably be many obstacles at this time. Now that Tanzhou Mansion is close at hand, Han Xiaoyue is thinking in her heart whether she wants to meet her childhood friend when she comes to Tang Kingdom. Li Jingxian was closely observing Situ Sheng all the way, but whenever he got a little close to Han Xiaoyue, he deliberately went up to guard against accidents. Yu Zhengmei and Ding Yuechan talked and laughed along the way. They got closer and closer to Nanxun, and the thought of seeing their eldest sister Yan Liangjie soon, their hearts were extremely excited. Far away, everyone saw that Tanzhou City was heavily guarded, and passers-by had to be checked. "Sure enough, a big war is imminent, and Jiangyuan City was also so heavily guarded at the beginning. Han Xiaoyue thought and came to the city with everyone.

"Stop!" a soldier called out to three people in coarse cloth clothes pushing wheelbarrows, "What's on the cart?" One of the people nodded and smiled, "Master, this is filled with rations." The boss of the rice shop in the city collects grain, and we are going to bring it into the city and sell it to him. The soldier was expressionless, stepped forward and patted the goods on the car, as if he couldn't see the flaw, so he said: "Fellow, there is about to be a war, aren't you going to sell grain to the imperial court?" Who's worth it, you say?"

The soldier snorted and said, "Do you mean Boss Chen of the rice shop in the east of the city?" That guy is a profiteer! Today he will charge you one tael of silver and one catty of rice, and tomorrow he will dare to sell you ten taels of silver and one catty of rice! The war is about to start, and grain is silver!" The people touched their heads and laughed: "Then we can't take care of so much!" The soldier shook his head and waved his hand, "Okay! I can't tell you clearly, let's go in!" The three people thanked you again and again, and pushed the cart into the city.

Han Xiaoyue and the others lined up behind the line to enter the city, and soon it was their turn. The soldier stopped everyone and said, "Who are you? What are you doing in Tanzhou?" Han Xiaoyue gave a deep salute and said: "A few of us are tourists, borrowing the road to Tanzhou, going east." After hearing this, the soldier said vigilantly: "Where to go east?" Han Xiaoyue said: "Go east to Jinling City." ”

"Go to Jinling City?" the soldier said as he looked everyone up and down, "Jinling City...... Seeing that you are outsiders, what is the reason for going to the capital of my Tang Kingdom?" Han Xiaoyue said: "Fangcaohui outside Jinling City, we are going to ...... Go meet a friend. After hearing this, the soldier nodded and said, "Fangcaohui...... Do you still have anything to do with Fangcaohui?" said the soldier, waving his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you won't be able to go." Now that the Great War is imminent, all outsiders are forbidden to enter unless they have a local guarantee!"

After hearing this, Han Xiaoyue immediately felt a little difficult. Yu Zhengmei stepped forward and said, "Little brother, can you be accommodating? We are on the same road, but we will not go to Jinling." The soldier said, "Where are you going?" Yu Zhengmei said, "Let's go to Nanxun." The soldier shook his head and said, "Nanxun is such a desolate place, what are you doing there?" I don't care where you go, you must find a person here as a guarantee to enter. After hearing this, Situ Sheng stepped forward with a laugh and said, "Brother, why do you have to be so serious? It's all an errand of the imperial court, why don't you do it conveniently?"

Seeing Situ Sheng's arrogant expression, the soldier looked at the silver he gave him, and couldn't help but secretly scold him in his heart for being a "poor ghost", and said: "This friend, are you here to ask for food? Seeing that you are so brightly dressed, why are you so stingy in your actions?"

Everyone walked out of two or three miles, Han Xiaoyue looked back at the city gate, and sighed: "What can I do, I finally got to the border, but I couldn't get in at all" Li Jingxian looked at the height ......of the city wall, and said with a smile: "Brother Han, I can't jump on such a high city wall..... " Situ Sheng scolded fiercely: "Just a few goods, giving them a few pieces of silver is really exalting them, but it's still too little?" Ding Yuechan chuckled: "You, don't look down on people." These people are guarding the city gate, and they have seen many merchants back and forth, but they have seen people with a lot of money!" Yu Zhengmei said: "It seems that I really have to think of a way to get in." Otherwise, even Nanxun won't be able to go back!"

Situ Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Third sister, aren't you the best at lurking at night?" Let's wait until night, how about you sneak into the city to find a family here and let them protect us and send them into the city?" Since Situ Sheng and Ding Yuechan were together, it was the first time they called Yu Zhengmei "Third Sister", and she and Ding Yuechan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why do you call me 'Third Sister'?" I remember, don't you jokingly call me 'Sister Yu'?" Situ Sheng hurriedly waved his hand after hearing this: "Oh, Third Sister, don't make fun of me." At that time, I was ignorant, so the third sister should not hold grudges. As long as you are happy, how about the little brother who will keep calling you Third Sister in the future?"

Of course Yu Zhengmei knows. At the current speed, it will not be possible to reach Nanxun in a few months. At that time, if the eldest sister wants to tolerate Situ Sheng, she will inevitably treat her with kind words. In this case, Situ Sheng had to try his best to please himself. The so-called "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", Yu Zhengmei was of course happy about it, so she nodded and smiled: "Okay, it sounds weird." Isn't it just lurking, that's not easy? Find a place to stay outside the city, and see you at the city gate tomorrow!" After that, he glanced at the sun and continued, "The sun is about to set, so let's go our separate ways!"
