Early the next morning, Qiyun came to the Buddha's guest room, but the building was empty, leaving no trace, and Qiyun even doubted whether he had ever come. Lu Ying came into the house, chattering while cleaning up, complaining that the Buddha did not leave any tokens, nor did he say goodbye to anyone, and left the Governor's Mansion, which was really ruthless and unjust, heartless.

Qiyun didn't listen to a word, and her slender jade fingers gently stroked the bed he slept on, looking for traces of him in the room. When I thought he came, he came suddenly, and he went crisply, refreshingly and neatly, like a gust of wind swept by, and the clouds drifted by, but it was just ......

After a while, Qiyun came to his senses, he couldn't be in a daze here now, and there were more urgent things to do. So, I went out of the guest room and came to Yizhen's study. I saw that a pot of spring orchids on the bookcase was in full bloom, and the elegant orchid fragrance was overflowing. Yizhen was dressed in the morning light, reclining in a chair, holding a book and reading leisurely.

Qiyun tiptoed up to him, snatched his book, saw that it was a book of songs, and muttered: "It's a book of songs again, someone just sang the Book of Songs the day before." Today, there are people hiding here to read the Book of Poetry. You've been stealing half a day's sleep. ”

Yizhen smiled lightly: "Military affairs are boring, reading poetry books let me relax." Who did you listen to chanting yesterday? ”

"Buddha."

"Looks like you're familiar with him." Yizhen frowned slightly.

"It's okay," Qiyun approached the orchid and sniffed it, and asked casually, "Yizhen, how has the frontline war been going these days?" ”

Yizhen replied: "I went to the tent in front of the camp a few days ago, and Wang Xiu designed to capture that Shen Tianzi and correct the Fa on the spot. Now it is commanded by Wang Xiu. ”

Qiyun's heart tightened, and he panicked inexplicably, "So, can Wang Xiu convince the people below?" ”

"With his ability, he should be able to control it. In addition, I sent Mao Xiuzhi to lead the troops for Sima. For the specific battle, I am sending someone to invite him. ”

At this time, seeing Mao Xiuzhi's face was pale and gray, he walked in in a hurry, and almost tripped over the threshold. When he saw Yizhen, he didn't have time to salute, so he said loudly anxiously: "Second son, it's not good!" ”

Seeing Mao Xiuzhi like this, Yizhen hurriedly helped him sit down, making him breathe a sigh of relief, and the situation among the generals was detailed.

It turned out that after Wang Xiu captured Shen Tianzi, the sergeants under Shen Tianzi mutinied, and they rumored that Wang Zhen was going to rebel and Shen Tianzi would kill him; Shen Tianzi rebelled, and Wang Xiu came to kill him; If Wang Xiu rebelled, who would care? Therefore, Shen Tianzi's subordinates killed Wang Xiu again. Now the army is leaderless, and the soldiers are panicking. The cavalry of the Xia State is divided into four routes, and it is forming a trend of encirclement of Chang'an.

When Qiyun heard this, her jade face was pale. Yi Zhenrao was elegant and indifferent, and he was also very frightened at the moment, and asked urgently: "How is the news from my father's side?" When will the reinforcements they sent arrive? ”

Mao Xiuzhi replied: "The lord sent two generals, Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi, to come to help, and they should be there in these two days." ”

Yizhen kept pacing back and forth and asked, "Mao Sima, do you think we should sit in Chang'an and wait for the two generals Zhu to come to the rescue, or should we lead our troops to leave Chang'an now?" ”

Mao Xiuzhi pondered for a moment and replied: "According to the battle report from the front, General Zhu and the others marched extremely fast, and they should be able to arrive before the Xia army formed an encirclement of Chang'an. When they come, we'll act. ”

Qiyun couldn't help but interject on the side: "Mao Sima, I'm afraid something is wrong." At present, the Xia army has not yet completed the encirclement of Guanzhong, and if they leave a few days later in order to wait for the two Zhu generals, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out of the encirclement of the Xia army too late. ”

Mao Xiuzhi was in a dilemma, and said worriedly: "There are not many defenders in Chang'an, if we go alone, we will be weak, in case we encounter any of the four cavalry of the Xia army, we will not be their opponents." If General Zhu's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses arrive, the Xia army will not be our opponent. ”

Liu Yizhen listened, nodded and responded: "What Mao Sima said is reasonable. The cavalry of the Xia Kingdom is very brave, and at this moment with our meager strength to break through, if we encounter the Xia army, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated. Chang'an City is well defended and can withstand for a while. When General Zhu arrives with his army, the two armies are combined, and we have 200,000 troops, so we don't have to be afraid of Helian Bobo. And also...... Qiyun, I don't want to see you miss anything. Besides, Mao Sima has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience, let's listen to him. ”

When Qiyun heard this, although she still felt that it was inappropriate, she had to give up.

Every moment of the following days was extremely difficult, and Yizhen asked people to explore the whereabouts of Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi's troops every once in a while. Due to the lack of generals of the Jin army, there was no one to restrain the soldiers, and some of the soldiers of the Jin army began to rob the people's property on a large scale, and the disputes between the army and the people continued. The prestige of the Jin army was completely lost, and the people were greatly disappointed.

Fortunately, only two or three days later, Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi led the Jin army and arrived in Chang'an. Qiyun breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly thinking that the combined forces of the two places had nearly 200,000 troops, which was enough to deter the Huxia cavalry, and Chang'an City could finally be relieved.

Qiyun was hurriedly invited to the council hall by the attendants, only to see that several generals were there, all dressed in uniform. Liu Yizhen was wearing silver armor and cloak, shining brightly, handsome and majestic.

As soon as he saw Qiyun, Yizhen quickly stepped forward and said urgently: "Qiyun, you bring your bags now, follow me and Mao Sima, don't delay." ”

Qiyun knew that the situation was urgent, and seeing that the generals had already discussed this situation, there was nothing to change, but she still couldn't help but ask: "Let's leave now, won't the two generals Zhu go?" ”

Yizhen took Qiyun's hand, walked straight out, and said, "The two generals Zhu were ordered to guard Chang'an and not go with us. They have allocated a part of the team to us, and we will leave Chang'an immediately. Seeing that Qiyun didn't have a sword on him, he took off the sword he was carrying and handed it to Qiyun.

Qiyun saw that he was sincere, so he had to take it. They called Lu Ying and the attendants in the house, and the group hurriedly took their luggage and loaded it into the car.

When I arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, I saw that the long convoy was out of sight, and the attendants shuttled back and forth to pack boxes on the car. Qiyun grabbed one of them and asked, "Where are you going to take so many things?" ”

"This is what I have commanded from above, and I don't know what to do. There are so many things that I can't get in time, county lord, offended. With that, he left Qiyun behind and got busy.

Qiyun and Lu Ying sat in a car, and there were two boxes in the car, and the space in the car was even more cramped. After sitting on it, after waiting for a long time, the convoy started, leaving Chang'an and heading to Tongguan.

Out of the city gate, the road was bumpy, Lu Ying was dizzy, so she had to hold on to Qiyun's sleeve tightly, and muttered: "I packed up a few days ago and didn't leave, but now I'm in a hurry like this." The generals didn't have a calculation, and I was dizzy. ”

Qiyun grasped the window lattice and said in a low voice: "Lu Ying, don't worry so much." You must know that Lu Dao, this time is not to visit the landscape, and unlike when we came to Chang'an before, we are now - fleeing for our lives! The word "escape" is very heavy.

When Lu Ying heard this, she was really panicked, and asked tremblingly: "County Lord, where are we going to flee to at this time?" ”

"Tongguan." Qiyun's eyes were solemn, and he said calmly: "As long as we go east out of Tongguan, and outside the pass is the strength of the Jin army, the Xia army will not dare to chase after us, and we will be safe." ”
