Once again, the serendipity of war was demonstrated in Le'an.

When Li Hai fled in defeat and was exhausted, he would never have thought that he would play a decisive role in a battle of tens of thousands of people. Originally, he just wanted to sneak up on this small county town and get some food so that his hundreds of brothers could survive for a while, but as for the future, he didn't think about it at all.

Survival has become a problem, where is the effort to think about the future?

It's just a matter of living one day at a time.

But life is always willing to give praise to those who are not willing to give up. Li Hai, who lived hard and stubbornly and was unwilling to compromise with reality, finally got a huge reward.

If he is willing to surrender, with his fame and ability, he will definitely be able to get a good position in Xuanwu, you must know that Li Hai is much bigger than Ge Fan, the commander of the naval division, both in terms of status and fame. Even in Chang'an, Li Hai is also very famous.

But he just wouldn't surrender, preferring to live like a wild dog.

In the first battle of Le'an, Li Hai was liberated.

Those Shence troops who were defeated and surrendered in Zhaoyi, under the recruitment of Li Hai, nearly 5,000 people surrendered to him.

Liu Ruyan very much hopes to take Li Hai back to Wuyi, a general like Li Hai is naturally liked by everyone, but for these gods of Le'an, Liu Ruyan can't look down on it.

Zhaoyi was defeated and surrendered to Xuanwu.

Le'an was defeated and surrendered to Lihai.

In Liu Ruyan's view, this is just some capricious and uninsisted troops. What's more, their combat effectiveness made Liu Ruyan disdainful.

Zhu Youwen's defeat was attributed to Li Hai's earth-shattering arrow, but there were also two or three percent, because of the weakness of these divine forces, they had no intention of fighting at all.

Although they won the battle of Le'an, Liu Ruyan knew very well that next, there were still greater challenges waiting for them, in Luzhou, Tian Yue's army of seventy or eighty thousand troops was still in front of them, and behind them, the emperor followed them to flee Chang'an, and it would definitely not be long to hide, and when the time came, Xuanwu Zhu Wen would inevitably follow like a mad dog.

Although Liu Ruyan also knew very well that her husband Li Ze was already dispatching troops to meet her, hard battles were inevitable. There are not many soldiers, in Liu Ruyan's view, these Shence troops are some unstable factors, with them, it is very likely that at some point in the future, they will collapse again at the most critical time.

Rather than that, it's better not to have them!

Liu Ruyan told Li Hai her thoughts directly, and of course, she concealed the news that the emperor was in her army at the moment. If Li Hai didn't follow them, he couldn't tell him the news.

But Li Hai doesn't think so.

"Madam, the Shence Army is not without combat effectiveness." Li Hai said seriously: "At least when we left Tongguan and started this campaign, they were full of confidence. It's just that the development of Zhaoyi's battle situation is too unexpected, no matter who it is, when faced with such a situation, it has lost all faith and become a walking corpse, and it is not surprising to live just to live. Even if it's me, why not? ”

Liu Ruyan frowned and was silent.

Gongsun Changming was slightly moved.

Tu Hu sighed.

"If you can give them hope, if you can let them see their goals, these people can be reinvigorated." Li Haidao: "Madam, if you give up on them like this, they have no way out, they can only break up, some will become bandits, poison the people, and cause trouble, some will die in obscurity and become starving on the side of the road, and more, I am afraid that they will surrender to Xuanwu again and become their accomplices." Instead of that, why not give them a chance? Or they'll become a real warrior for it. Li Hai is willing to lead the lady as the forerunner and fight a bloody way for his wife to return to Wuyi. ”

Li Hai stood up and slammed it to the ground, unable to stand for a long time.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and the little cicada walked in, whispering a few words in Liu Ruyan's ear, Liu Ruyan raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and said, "General Li, this matter, I want to discuss this matter with Mr. Gongsun again, can you sit here for a while?" ”

Li Hai said yes repeatedly.

Liu Ruyan and Gongsun Changming stood up and walked out.

"Second Master Tu, take good care of General Li for me." Liu Ruyan dropped this sentence and left in a hurry with Gongsun Changming.

Just now, the little cicada came in, but it was the emperor who brought Liu Ruyan a message.

"What does the emperor want to do?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Gongsun Changming smiled and said: "The emperor followed us this time, it was forced to be helpless, in our army, he now only has more than 100 personal guards, a few eunuchs and palace maids, in his life, I am afraid that he has never had such a sense of peace." But he has no choice, and now, when he has the opportunity to come to the door, how will he let it go? ”

Liu Ruyan suddenly realized, "You mean that the emperor has taken a fancy to Li Hai and these gods?" ”

Gongsun Changming nodded and said: "That's right, these divine soldiers used to be the soldiers of the Son of Heaven." When the emperor saw these people, he didn't have a reason not to be moved. ”

"What did the gentleman say?"

"If the emperor can inspire these people's fighting spirit, he might as well bring it!" Gongsun Changming smiled at this.

Liu Ruyan lowered her voice and asked, "Sir, after bringing these people to Wuyi, will it add trouble to Lang Jun's major affairs?" ”

Gongsun Changming laughed: "Wuwei is a big dye vat, no matter who falls into this dye vat, it will be smeared with a strong Wuwei color, Madame didn't see the 10,000 gods brought by Xue Ping, although there is only less than half of it left, but the recognition of Wuwei is now far more than their recognition of Chang'an." ”

"In this way, these thousands of divine forces will also be like this in the future!" Liu Ruyan smiled and said.

"We'll see!" Gongsun Changming was full of confidence.

Among the emperor's tent, only the queen and the attendant Nakata Lingzi were there. The strong smell of medicine lingered in the tent, because he was worried that he would be sick to the crown prince Li Ke, Li Yan sent the crown prince Li Ke to Mrs. Wang, and was taken care of by Mrs. Wang and others together with Li Ze's son.

In fact, Li Yan didn't know in his heart that if it really came to an extremely dangerous moment, he was afraid that these five thousand Niu Wei and these black-armored knights would definitely take the protection of Mrs. Wang and Li Ze's son as the top priority, rather than putting him, the emperor, in the first place.

Putting the crown prince Li Kezi in Mrs. Wang's place, for fear of being sick, is an excellent excuse.

Li Yan's illness, the imperial doctor couldn't find a specific reason, it could only be attributed to heart disease, which made the imperial doctor helpless, but today, the emperor's complexion looks much better.

Either this victory made him happy, or it was the submission of thousands of divine forces again, which gave him some confidence.

"Mrs. Li, General Gongsun." Li Yan was half-leaning on the blanket, and the empress sat behind him, becoming the emperor's back cushion.

"Your Majesty is looking very good today, this is really a great joy." Liu Ruyan wore armor, and he was like a military general, bowing to the emperor.

"Madame's majesty today has opened my eyes." Li Yan smiled and said, "I don't know if I can see Li Hai?" ”

Liu Ruyan was stunned, and immediately reacted to the emperor's meaning, and immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is the Supreme, whoever you want to see, you can naturally see whom." It's just that at the moment, does Your Majesty confirm that Li Hai is credible? Your affairs in our army are still a secret, and General Qin is still in Tongguan, just to cover up this matter? ”

"I can't cover it up for long, sooner or later." Li Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that General Li Haili has taken in a lot of Shence troops who surrendered to Xuanwu, and I have also heard from the waiter that these Shence troops are unbearable, but I still want to work hard, or can these Shence troops re-arouse their combat effectiveness when they see me?" When they first came out of Tongguan, how mighty they were! ”

Liu Ruyan and Gongsun Changming glanced at each other, and Gongsun Changming bowed slightly.

A moment later, Li Hai stepped into the big tent.

At a glance, he saw Li Yan sitting in the center of the tent.

His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, and rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he was not mistaken.

With a poppy, he knelt down in front of Li Yan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you here? Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Fu ......" Li Hai couldn't speak, and in the end, he actually cried bitterly.

Li Yan was silent, just accompanied Li Hai to cry silently.

Liu Ruyan and Gongsun Changming glanced at each other, and both bowed down and withdrew from the big tent, at this time, presumably the emperor was going to play against Li Hai alone, everyone is a smart person, but there is no need to be in the way of people's eyes here.

The little cicada took the baby from Mrs. Wang, Liu Ruyan held the child in her arms, smiling and teasing, and only in the limited leisure could she get close to the child.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing, sir?"

"Everything looks good!" Gongsun Changming said with a smile: "If you can really add thousands of new forces, that's also a good thing." ”

"Your Majesty is suspicious of Lang Jun!" Liu Ruyan was a little dissatisfied.

"It's human nature." Gongsun Changming smiled: "It doesn't matter the overall situation." ”

"Will Li Hai become an obstacle in the future?"

"Li Hai is a relatively pure general, and he is not the same as Han Qi." Gongsun Changming said: "In comparison, Han Qi is more troublesome. When he launched the final attack on Luzhou, the letter to Jieshuai still caused some difficulties for Wuwei, and now although he lost his troops and surrendered Daizhou, Xinzhou and other places to Zhang Jia, there is no doubt that through this move, he also gained great prestige. After the emperor successfully arrived in Wuyi, he would inevitably reuse this person, and in the future, he would be one of the most important opponents of the Jieshuai. ”
