Back then, General Gu personally led us to participate in the suppression of the rebellion, but when I saw that there was mourning all the way, the people also sneered at our so-called Tang orthodoxy, and saw it as if they were seeing a plague god. General Gu was under the command of Li Keyong back then, and we also experienced the tragedy, and our memories are still fresh.

After all, it still failed to recover the decline, and the country collapsed overnight.

I waited for the year to be only a weak crown, how did I know that after the collapse of the country, the music collapsed like a flood of beasts, and this great river and mountain was pulled to the ground with blood.

General Gu led us and others to go around to discuss, but unexpectedly, Li Ke used the yang to serve the yin, but he had his own plans. Waiting for the division of the feudal towns is a foregone conclusion, the eunuch dictatorship will eventually hollow out the decaying temples, and those courtiers' party struggles are just adding a new word to this troubled era.

General Gu felt that there was no hope for national affairs, his ambitions for many years were finally empty, his life experience was like rain hitting duckweed, and who could he say with him that he was sad in his heart.

Just as Li Yishan wrote in his poem, "The Purple Spring Palace locks the smoke and wants to take Wucheng as the emperor's home." The jade seal is not destined to return to the corner of the sun, and the brocade sail should be to the end of the world. There is no firefly in the rotten grass today, and there are twilight crows in the weeping poplars in ancient times. If the underground meets the queen of Chen, should he ask the back pavilion flower again? ”

The Li Dynasty's hegemony eventually became a dream, and in the end it was reduced to a piece of loess. But before the country changed hands, there were already people who couldn't wait.

Zhu Wen, who fought against the Huangchao rebellion with Li Keyong, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Zhaozong as a puppet to control the government. It is already a temple with no prestige, but there are still people who are so red-eyed.

However, Li Cunmiao was friendly with General Gu back then, and he also had a lot of complaints about Zhu Wen's control of Tang, but due to the difference in strength, he had to endure it. On the contrary, it was his father Li Ke who rose up with the trend and wanted to fight against Zhu Wen.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and Zhu Wen found the opportunity to depose Emperor Tang Ai, who had been raised by one hand, from Caozhou, and finally forced him to drink poisonous wine, and he was only sixteen years old.

In that year, Zhu Wen took the throne, set the capital of Kaifeng, and established Houliang. It was also in that second year that General Gu met her.

At that time, Zhu Wen usurped the throne, and the Tang Dynasty has become history. Forced by the situation, the era of chaos and chaos began. Zhu Wen occupied the Central Plains and had strong troops, and at the same time recruited other weak and small feudal towns, intending to unify the situation.

But Li Keyong, who takes the revival of the Tang Dynasty as his own responsibility, how can he be satisfied. Li Ke occupied Hedong with his troops and encouraged himself as the successor of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Wen, who was born as a thief, is full of anger and tyrannical personality, which has caused public resentment to boil. And he rebelled against Huangchao and returned to the Tang Dynasty, and then overthrew the Tang Dynasty and established himself after Liang, it was difficult to escape the world's mouths.

With the accumulation of years of conquest, it has abundant manpower and material resources in the Central Plains, and occupies the first place among the heroes in the late Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, the Xuanwu area controlled by it was the only way for Jianghuai grain to enter the two capitals during the Tang Dynasty.

With such a well-established canal transportation system, once there is any war in the surrounding area, the army can be transported through this canal, and it is invincible.

On the other hand, Li Keyong, who was born in the Tang Dynasty aristocracy but was Turkic-born, continued to recruit more border generals by absorbing the Sogdian tribes who moved inward, gradually forming a decisive force on the northern border in troubled times, and eyeing the hinterland of the Central Plains.

With the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, the accumulated contradictions between Li Keyong and Zhu Wen gradually intensified, and Li Keyong repeatedly undermined Zhu Wen's strategic plan to seize Hebei and encircle Hedong with fewer enemies.

But even so, it can't shake Hou Liang Guoben, but it doesn't hurt. Li Ke used almost crazy nuisances in exchange for the Hou Liang army to make a comeback again and again.

In the long war of attrition between the two sides, Luzhou, Xingzhou and Mingzhou in Hedong and Hebei were the most critical. Among the three regions, Luzhou is the most important. Although General Gu guarded here back then, he shouldered the important mission of blocking the Houliang thieves.

If the young master knew that the territory of the Later Tang Dynasty was vertical and horizontal, he would know that this place was the key point at the junction of Jin and Liang. Only by capturing Luzhou could Zhu Wen extend the war to the northern hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.

In other words, at that time, if the Jin State under Li Keyong's jurisdiction wanted to avoid falling into a war of attrition with Houliang, it must also occupy Luzhou.

Tang Tianyou four years, Luzhou.

At that time, after Zhu Wengang succeeded to the throne, Liang Datong was full of spirit, and wanted to break the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop, but he had eradicated the thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh. In that year, Lu Baoping Jiedu made Kang Huaizhen lead 80,000 horses, known as 300,000, and launched a fierce attack on Luzhou.

Our Luzhou defenders did not choose to attack or flee blindly because of the enemy's menacing, but under the command of General Gu, they closed the city and held on to the east of the river on the other.

In addition, the city defense facilities in Luzhou were extremely strong, and we took advantage of the terrain to keep the enemy away from ten miles away, forming a confrontation situation, and the battle in Luzhou fell into a stalemate.

The two sides are at loggerheads, and neither of them is willing to give up. At that time, Li Keyong was furious after receiving the request for help, and with his number one minister, Zhou Dewei, as the commander, gathered the elite and rushed to Luzhou to help in the starry night.

And how could Zhu Wen easily let go of this piece of "fat meat", on the one hand, he dispatched the Zuo Shen Yong Army from Bianliang to rush to the front enemy, and on the other hand, he ordered the Hebei elite soldiers to move west and move closer to the main force, so as to form a situation of entrapment.

But after Zhu Wen, the Liang army was still a step slower, and had already arrived at the nearby Shatuo reinforcements, and before the Liang army arrived to rest, they directly attacked in turn to cut off their grain and grass road. However, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the Jin reinforcements, and they could only delay by attacking and harassing, and after all, they could not repel the continuous reinforcements of Houliang.

Tang Tianyou five years, the first day of the fifth month, Luzhou.

After the siege of this city for a long time, we were the last pillar of the city to resist it. At this time, it had been more than a year since Houliang besieged Luzhou, and Li Keyong died of illness at the beginning of the year, Zhu Wen felt that the general trend of the world had been decided, and the change of power in the Jin State led to civil strife, so he wanted to take Luzhou in one fell swoop.

It was that year that General Gu met her. That is, Lin Nuohua, the mother of the young master.

This was supposed to be a protracted war of attrition, but at a critical juncture, the situation was reversed due to Li Keyong's illness. We were almost in despair back then, and all the reinforcements retreated, and it seemed that we were going to give up, and it was only a matter of time before Luzhou fell.

But what Zhu Wen never expected was that Zhou Dewei, the first fierce general of the Jin Kingdom, was ordered to withdraw his troops and return to Jinyang, and immediately entered the city alone to express his absolute loyalty to Li Cunqing. Li Cunmiao, who let down his guard, also turned his attention to Luzhou again, bringing a ray of life to us.

At that time, General Gu and I and a group of soldiers who were trapped in Luzhou also heard of the civil strife in Jin, and at first they only felt that it was a plan of the Later Liang to attack the heart, but slowly as the situation became more and more uncontrollable, the people in the city were also discouraged.

But at this time, a woman appeared in Luzhou City, bringing us a blockbuster news, which was exciting.

I remember that night was also like this night, in early summer, General Gu had just returned from the wounded camp, and his face was full of sadness. At that time, it had been held for more than a year, and the surplus grain in the city could only hold on for more than a month.

The woman just came to meet her, I don't know when she entered the city, and why she appeared here, as if she was like a Nine Heavens Immortal, entering the mortal world to save the common people. She was dressed in fancy clothes, not like my ordinary clothes, and at the same time, there was no sadness on her countenance, but a little excitement.

Seeing General Gu leading the guards coming, the woman did not immediately hide, but greeted her, as if she had something to say. Back then, we were just slaves of the Gu family, and we went out with the army to take care of General Gu's diet and daily life, and at the same time maintained the connection between General Gu and the old lady.

Seeing that the woman was rushing straight forward regardless of it, several guards had already drawn their swords, and they were about to step forward and arrest her. General Gu was obviously a little stunned, and we waited to see it left and right, but we didn't dare to make a rash move.

But these guards rushed to the woman's approach, and fainted to the ground before she could move, but I didn't see anything, and I didn't see the woman make a move.

The woman walked up to General Gu and looked up and down before she spoke, "Hello, Lin Nuohua, what do you call it?" ”

This kind of foreign language is unheard of, but General Gu is an extraordinary person, Xu is seeing that this girl has no killing intent, but the means are good, so he clenched his fists and said loudly, "Gu Yanxun in Xialuzhou Mansion." ”

At this time, the rest of the soldiers heard that something was wrong here and gathered around, and saw a girl in strange clothes standing there, and a few generals who had fallen around them did not know that they were dying, and they were like facing a great enemy.

The woman who called Lin Nuohua smiled, "I'm here, and the siege of Luzhou can be solved." ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar with the public. General Gu's face twitched, but he still maintained restraint and basic etiquette, and said, "Why did the girl say this? Do not joke about marching and fighting. ”

Lin Nuohua didn't notice anything wrong, and said again: "I brought a piece of news, and there is another way." Which one do you want to hear first? ”

At that time, although we followed General Gu to fight again and again, we also dabbled in poetry, books, etiquette and music, although we were not broad, we could know a thing or two. But what the woman named Lin Nuohua said was incomprehensible.

Unexpectedly, General Gu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and raised his hand to invite, "Then I will bother the girl to move, and we will talk about it in the house." ”

When the woman heard this, she did not shirk anything, but said, "You march and fight, and you kill decisively, why do you look like a girl, mother-in-law?" After speaking, he didn't look back and walked in the direction of General Gu's raised hand.

This attack made everyone present speechless, it was a woman of unknown origin, but as soon as she appeared, she shocked everyone, how could it not be admired. General Gu raised his hand and motioned to probe the snorts of several guards, and after confirming that there was no danger to life, he walked towards the general's mansion with confidence.

When General Gu led me to the mansion, the woman was already sitting on the side with a big grin, picking up a cup of tea and tasting it slowly. Seeing General Gu coming, he hurriedly beckoned: "Why are you stupid, sit down quickly." ”

General Gu was amused by the woman's words, and the general, who hadn't shown his face for a year, actually laughed. I didn't dare to say anything more to disturb me, so I stood aside and observed the woman.

This woman is 3,000 green silk, her hair is tied at the top, and she is wearing a long gown but not above her waist. Under his waist, he had clothes of unknown nature, one hand in his clothes, and his face was full of satisfaction. The material of the caftan has never been seen before, and it can reflect the light in the daytime, and the color can continue to change with the woman's movements.

General Gu and I were stunned on the spot, not knowing where this woman was sacred.

The woman seemed to feel that it was a little boring for me to be so restrained, so she drank the tea in her hand, got up and said: "Li Cunqiao has inherited the unification, and he will lead his troops to help." ”

The woman seemed to feel that this sentence was too light, and coughed lightly twice, "I still have a plan to help you retreat from the enemy." As if he was afraid that General Gu would not believe it, he reached into the clothes he didn't know what it was, found something, and handed it to General Gu.

The general, however, was very bold, and took the object and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

The woman did not answer directly, but said mysteriously: "If you are undecided, you can ask Dongfeng."
