The conspiracy obscures the sky like a dark night, and Li Yao wants to personally set aside everything and clarify everything.

In the early morning of one day, he dressed in regular clothes, stepped on a horse, and galloped out of the city alone in the starry night.

The dust under the crotch is galloping, and the sound of the horse's hooves is fast and powerful, breaking the silence between heaven and earth. This horse that has carried him to the north and south for many years, the king of horses from the land of Tianmu is snow-white, without a trace of impurities, can travel thousands of miles a day, galloping like the wind, and it also carried them out of the siege on the night when the capital city broke.

One man and one horse galloped for more than 100 miles, and finally found a camp that was not unique and set up in order.

As he was still far away from the barracks, there was a "whoosh" and a sharp arrow was fired at the horse's hoof. Someone sternly asked, "Who is coming?"

Li Yao did not answer, but raised the oval golden flying dragon dome pattern talisman in his hand, lightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and continued to move the horse forward.

When he approached, he could see clearly from the other side, and when he got to the fence and dismounted, several sergeants quickly opened the gate.

Li Yao calmly walked into the camp.

"Commander, commander!" the guards were stunned, and then bowed their heads to him.

Li Yao nodded to them with a smile and continued to walk towards the big tent in the middle of the camp.

The sergeants who met him all the way were full of surprise, and they all saluted him respectfully and with some shame. Li Yao also nodded in response, and when he met someone he knew, he took the initiative to pat the other party's shoulder. In the Emperor's army, even if it is the prince's army here, Li Yao's reputation is unmatched, because of his outstanding military achievements, it also comes from his dedication to everything and compassion for the sergeant.

Li Yao stepped into the big tent, and someone had already reported that his uncle, the younger brother of his father Emperor Li Yan, the burly prince Li Lie who was dressed in black gold armor, was already standing straight waiting for him to come in. Next to Li Lie stood his youngest son, Li Yi.

"Uncle Wang. Li Yao said calmly.

Li Lie was silent, a pair of dark eyes stared at him firmly. Li Lie didn't trust him, the nephew who was plotting to usurp the throne, and Li Yi on the side also avoided his gaze.

"I'm here to know why this battle is like this. ”

"I have confessed to the situation in the newspaper. The sin is mine, I can't atone for my sins, and now I only want to fight the thieves on the battlefield for the last time, and die a well-deserved death. Li Lie replied expressionlessly.

"Uncle Wang, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to listen to your personal details again, in order to solve the strange tricks and find a way to break the enemy. Li Yao paused and continued, "Our people can't die. ”

Li Lie in front of him listened, his eyes flashed, but they quickly dimmed again.

"I am a sinner of the Li family, and I can't atone for my sins after dying in battle!" Li Lie couldn't help but say again, Xu was caused by the chagrin and anger in his heart, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Then he was silent for a moment, and then his eyes lit up again as if they were burning with rage, and then he let out a loud, helpless sigh.

Li Lie was originally one of the few strong generals in the imperial family after the former emperor Li Yan. Fusang rebelled, Li Yao, as the commander of the Longxiang army, was dismissed and imprisoned by Emperor Li Xi because he coveted the throne, and Li Lie was worshiped as the commander of the conquest and led the army to quell the rebellion.

Under the slackness and lax rule of the former emperor Li Yan in the later period, the Longxiang army was greatly reduced, undertrained, and loosely combated, and through Li Yao's restructuring and rectification in recent years, and the repeated wars with Chidan, the military strength has surpassed the previous generation, which can be described as the strongest in the nine regions.

Although the Fusang army was menacing and captured several cities in a short time, it had always been unknown, and its strength was not as good as that of the Long Xiang army, and Li Lie was full of confidence.

The rebels were defeated with one blow, and he won victories one after another, recovering the lost territory, and immediately reported the victory, covering the troops and chasing them all the way to the mouth of Cangshui and Luanhe. The soldiers are fast, and if they don't give them a chance to breathe, he wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

It was after receiving the good news that Li Xi went to visit Li Yao in the prison and wanted to give way.

But Li Lie is different when he arrives here.

The river surface is vast and boundless, the water surface is low and flat, Li Lie led the boat to cross the river to chase and kill Fusang, but just crossed 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, the upstream flood rushed to the ground, the raging waves washed away the soldiers and drowned countless people, and the counterinsurgency division was cut into two sections, and the end could not be taken care of. The Fusang army, which had fled on the other side, turned its face and killed it in an instant, killing all the former troops who had crossed the river.

Then they saw the magnificent naval army of Fuso. There are countless huge warships on the river, and together they cover the surface of the river and almost become a huge and impregnable castle.

Fuso has been preparing for this war for ten years.

Li Lie immediately sobered up, ordered the army to retreat ten miles, set up a village facing the river, and confronted it.

He invited a clever soothsayer to tell the heavens, judge the dry night with the wind, and attack with a fireboat, and the fire broke out violently, and the fire on the river was fierce for a while, reflecting the river and the night sky in a fiery red. Li Lie concluded that this time it would be a disaster.

However, the wind suddenly reversed. The fire did not burn the Fusang ship, but it rushed to the Longxiang army on the river bank with a strong wind, and quickly ignited the woods and grass on the bank, and in an instant it rushed into the camp like an unstoppable fire army.

The scene was suddenly chaotic, and the soldiers who were engulfed in fire were screaming and fleeing, when they heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing on the riverbank, and the silver-armored Fuso army poured in. The Fusang soldiers who were defeated in one blow before somehow turned into murderous devils one by one, slaughtering and slaughtering the Xuanjin armor that had been shocked.

The army collapsed like a mountain, Li Lie forced himself to calm down and clean up the remnants of the army, recalled the scattered soldiers, but most of the troops had been lost. On the one hand, he sent a letter to ask for help, and on the other hand, he appeased the frustrated and depressed army, retreated for 200 miles, and prepared for long-term resistance.

The Fuso army stood still for a while, and just when they thought they could breathe, a major epidemic broke out in the army. A large number of sergeants fell ill, and the epidemic spread at an extremely rapid pace. The sick people vomited and had a high fever, sores and ulcers all over their bodies, and even claimed to have lost their minds and went crazy when they saw the summoning of ghosts, and finally they were either weak and suffocated to death, or they committed suicide by going crazy. Military doctors and famous doctors were helpless, and the number of dead and wounded had reached thousands and increased day by day in just a dozen days, and the original fragile military spirit finally collapsed like an egg on a high base.

The Fuso army overturned and surrounded them.

There were no reinforcements, and in the last battle, Li Lie knew that he was invincible, but he had no way to avoid it, so he had to take the lead and lead the army to fight to the death. Forced into a Jedi, Sergeant Long Xiang abandoned his fear and worry, burst out of his iron-blooded temperament in his bones, and bravely rushed to kill with the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and finally sacrificed a young body.

This battle was fought in the dark, and the blood flowed like a river, like grinding meat. Fusang Changfeng did his best to finally achieve his dream goal and swallow Long Xiang, but he killed 10,000 enemies and lost 8,000 himself, and nearly half of their military strength was lost.

Li Lie was surrounded by his relatives and subordinates, and the Fusang army was in hot pursuit. His eldest son was killed in battle to hold back the pursuers, and his second son was also besieged and killed when he resisted the enemy after the palace. In the end, hundreds of thousands of Xuanjin armor were defeated and scattered, and there was no hindrance in the imperial city before, Fusang traveled day and night, breaking through Shangdu in one go, and knocking them down from the throne.

After the fiasco, Li Lie had already regarded himself as a capital criminal, and he wanted to cut himself with a thousand knives, but he was unwilling and annoyed, the soldier wanted to die as he deserved, he was just looking for the most suitable way to die. He led the remnants of the army back to Li Yu and Li Yao, who had broken through from Shangdu, and led hundreds of relatives to follow the guerrilla Fusang, waiting for the day when they would be crushed by the enemy.

"In the last fight, I will fight with the thief for life, and I will die in battle. Li Lie gritted his teeth and said to him.

"No, Uncle Wang, let's save the remaining strength and choose another opportunity. In the previous battle, I was born with visions, witches and ghosts, the enemy must have extraordinary people, and even I had a gap with the imperial brother, and the reinforcements from all over the world have not arrived for a long time, these may have an ulterior connection with it, Yao thinks that if I lead the army, it will also be difficult to ensure that I am undefeated, and Uncle Wang does not have to blame himself. At present, I also ask Uncle Wang to compromise, and when I clarify the beginning and the end, please come to reinforcements, and then fight side by side. ”

"Father, Uncle Yao is right, let's listen to him. Li Yi echoed on the side.

Li Lie walked in front of Li Yao with a calm face, stared at him, and said slowly: "Do you know that when I was the prince, I strongly recommended you to the emperor?"

"I know. ”

"So far, I think it was the right choice. How did you weigh your plan to let the prince ascend the throne instead of standing on his own? Is it an expedient measure to blackmail the Son of Heaven for fear that he will not be able to convince the public?"

Li Yao's eyes burned, "Uncle Wang, I am the opposite of you in the matter of establishing a prince, I don't say anything beforehand, and I am haunted afterwards, this is where my nephew is far inferior to you, and it is also the biggest mistake in my life." So far, I only want to regain the dragon seat of Shangdu for my emperor, restore the supreme glory of my Li family, and help my emperor revive the dynasty. ”

Li Lie listened and nodded, and then he knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yao, and Li Yi also knelt down.

"Our people have always been righteous and loyal, and in this way, the last general will obey orders!" he said aloud.

Li Yao quickly helped the two of them up, the hands of the three of them were firmly clasped together, and he saw that the eyes of the two relatives were shining with a desire for revenge, and the red eyes were burning even more fiercely like flames.

However, when he thought that there were unfathomable people in the rebel army who could give birth to visions and epidemics, as well as the conspiracy and attempts of the canine teeth between the lands, his heart could not help but be covered with inexplicable doubts.
