In the first year of Tianhe, the sixth day of the seventh month.

Looking at the majestic and mighty Fengjing not far away, Li Xun sighed, this kind of exclamation is not a reunion after a long absence, in fact, Li Xun left Fengjing and went to Longyou, but it was only half a year, not even a year, the reason why there are some sighs, is that in such a short time, Li Xun has experienced many things, the second battle of Longyou, and the Western Regions War that made him famous all over the world, the previous war, although he was dazzling, but he was not the protagonist, nor was he the person with the most meritorious contributions, but after the war, he was the person who received the heaviest reward and the most benefitsIn the latter war, he won more with less, won a big victory, and won the entire Western Regions in one fell swoop, not only his reputation, but also the prestige of the entire Jin Dynasty, alarmed the Quartet, but after the war, he was forced to leave Longyou and had to return to Fengjing.

This before and after, quite dramatic different endings, let Li Xun understand a lot of truths, sometimes, the ownership of rights, the size of the credit, is not a simple digital data, as long as you are still in this bureau, you can only be involuntarily, pulled left and right, such as Li Zhong, the final ending is just to be transferred back to Fengjing, as the position of Zuo Xiang, it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact it has been deprived of military power, and for example, Huang Xu, the great hero of the Battle of Jiangnan, and other merits are also very much, and he is also loyal to the imperial court, But in the end, he was always suspicious and suppressed, if it wasn't for Li Xun's help, Yang Daosi was still presiding over the government, and now, it would definitely be a life of nine deaths, and it would be difficult to have a way to live, just because Zhao Zhi had already had murderous intentions against him.

Li Xun thought of himself, it may still be very good, at least Zhao Zhi deprived himself of the military power of Longyou, the suspicion is not heavy, and there is no killing opportunity, it is just a precautionary move in advance, although he was transferred back to Fengjing and seized the military power, but he will still be reused immediately, but this reuse, compared to when he was in Longyou, it must be far inferior.

"I thought I would follow you to Longyou, and I wouldn't be able to come back in a short time, but I didn't expect that it was not a year before I came back, and I knew that I wouldn't run so far in the first place, and I would stay in Fengjing."

You Min put his arm around Li Xun's waist and whispered in his ear.

Li Xun raised his hand and touched You Min's face, and said silently: "I went to Longyou this time, it was originally an excess, and the time would not be too long, but even I didn't expect to come back so soon." ”

You Min said: "It's okay to come back early, Wuzhou is too cold, I'm a little unused to it." ”

Li Xun knew that You Min was comforting himself, and couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you keep saying that the scenery in Longyou is very magnificent, and it is much more interesting than here in Fengjing." ”

"That's because I'll find it interesting to have you by my side, otherwise you think I'll go all the way to Longyou?"

Li Xun smiled, turned his head to You Min and kissed him on the mouth, You Min's face turned red, raised his hand and slapped Li Xun lightly, and then sat back in the carriage.

Li Xun smiled and continued to look at Fengjing City in the distance, his gaze a little distant.

In the eighth year of Chengping, Li Xun returned to Beijing to report on his work, and was secretly attacked by the forces of the Yang clan and the Yiwang party, and was forcibly left in Fengjing, almost losing the military power of Longyou, and finally had no choice but to use the false means of assassination to attract Zhao Zhi's attention, which led to the attention of Zhao Zhi, and then went out of Fengjing, returned to Longyou, and soon participated in the second Longyou War.

Sima Tu and Fan Zhongyun both guessed that after the end of the Second Longyou War, Zhao Zhi would definitely reuse Li Xun and let him completely take charge of the military and political power in the western part of Longyou, so that the crown prince Zhao Xun had a strong assistance force both inside and outside Fengjing.

The development and ending of the matter, as Sima Tu and Fan Zhongyun guessed, and the two of them also said to Li Xun that Zhao Zhi will reuse Li Xun so that the crown prince Zhao Xun can successfully ascend the throne, once Zhao Xun ascends the throne as the emperor, at that time, Li Xun is both a relative and a strong domain, whether it is status or strength, it is too prominent, therefore, Li Xun's time in Longyou will not be too long, after Zhao Xun ascends the throne, I am afraid that Li Xun will soon be deprived of his military power, relatives and strong domains, The two must not be in the hands of one person, so the threat to the imperial power is too great.

Zhao Zhi hoped that Li Xun would make a difference in Longyou and strengthen his own power, Li Xun's power became stronger, which means that Zhao Xun's power became stronger, Li Xun understood Zhao Zhi's intentions, and he also worked very hard to do so, but he tried too hard to win the entire Western Regions in one fell swoop, and his strength and prestige increased dramatically, which had to make Zhao Zhi change his mind again, and finally transferred Li Xun back to Fengjing, depriving him of his military power in Longyou.

"My lord regrets it?"

Sima Tu, who was riding a horse and following alongside, whispered to Li Xun.

Li Xun knew the meaning of his words, if he knew in advance, taking the Western Regions would be such an ending, would he still do it?

After pondering for a moment, Li Xun looked at Sima Tu and said affirmatively: "There are some things, even if I know the ending, I will definitely do it, and sometimes, I can't be a person and do things just for myself." ”

When Sima Tu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately arched his hand and said, "The lord is very good. ”

At this time, Ouyang Li and Hua Shaosheng came quickly on horseback, and when they came closer, Hua Shaosheng arched his hand at Li Xun on the horse and said loudly: "Lord, the news of your return to Fengjing today has spread, and hundreds of people have come to welcome them on their own. ”

Ouyang Li said loudly: "Lord, there are too many people, so I am afraid that the young people are hiding in it, which will be detrimental to the safety of the lord." ”
