"Marshal, Li Sijing has returned to Xiazhou with the most elite 5,000 cavalry under his command. In these Tiande cities, there are only more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and those Uighur and Tatar tribes will not give Li Sijing their lives, and it is not a problem to take the Tiande army. ”

Dozens of miles east of the city of Dongshou, on a low hillside, more than a dozen people stood on horseback, and behind them were black-pressed soldiers, numbering tens of thousands.

"This is the perfect opportunity that our Zhenwu Army has been waiting for for many years, as long as we take the Tiande Army, then we can sit on this rich Hetao grassland." Helendorf laughed as he pulled the reins of his horse.

"Marshal, if you can, the last general advises not to let the soldiers below kill people indiscriminately." A general dressed as Tuyuhun next to him said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Heliendor was puzzled.

"Marshal, attacking the Tiande Army without permission is not allowed by the imperial court. If we kill people indiscriminately during the attack on Tiande, and even give the court an excuse, then Zhenwu will face tremendous pressure from the imperial court.

Although the imperial court's attempt to reduce the feudal domain was obvious, after Xuanwu, Wei Bo, Chengde and other strong feudal domains were pacified by the imperial court, the remaining feudal towns did not dare to oppose the imperial court at all, and no one dared to be this up-and-coming bird.

If our Zhenwu Army becomes this up-and-coming bird, we will definitely be targeted by the imperial court.

At that time, even Youzhou would not send troops to help us! ”

Lu Longjun had a good relationship with Helian Duo before, and during the period when Li Keyong occupied Hedong, the two sides joined forces against Li Keyong more than once.

But since Li Congwei was deprived of the position of Lu Longjun by his brother Li Kuangchou, the relationship between Lu Long and Zhenwu Army has deteriorated.

Of course, Lu Longjun's strength should be one of the only two strongest in the world.

Because Lu Longjun is located in Yandi, wars are not as frequent as in the Central Plains, so he is one of the strongest feudal towns in the world.

Now that Zhu Wen and Wei Bo and Chengde of Heshuo have been pacified, Lu Longjun, who has 100,000 foot cavalry, has suddenly become one of the strongest feudal clans.

The remaining feudal towns also have Yang Xingmi, the two towns of Huainan and Xuanzhou, which can be comparable to Lu Longjun.

The strength of the other feudal towns is not as strong as these two feudal towns, even Zhenwu, Yicun, and Zhenhai are not enough to compete with these two feudal towns.

I'm afraid that Xia Sui and Tiande can unite to become the third powerful domain, but the current situation of Xia Sui and Tiande is not good.

And no matter how strong Lu Long is, he will not oppose the imperial court at this time, let alone the existence of Lu Long and the Khitan enemy.

"Then forget it, give the order to go down, give Ben Shuai a little restraint, our purpose is to occupy Tiande, not to grab something and run away!" Although Helian Duo was a little unhappy, he still coaxed when he thought of the strength of the imperial court.

"Jie Shuai, the last general is invited to fight!"

Just as the order was being given, a Han general next to Helian Duo said in a loud voice.

"General Liu?" Looking at Liu Rengong in front of him, Helian Duo smiled, "Since General Liu Zhen is willing to lead the army into battle, this commander will naturally not object." You will take the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard, and hope that Liu Zhen will not disappoint the commander! ”

"Don't worry, the last general will definitely take the East Surrender City to the Jieshuai!" Liu Rengong said loudly.

Some people may wonder why Liu Rengong is in the Zhenwu Army, because he rebelled last year and was pacified by Li Kuangchou.

So Liu Rengong fled to Helian Duo with the remnants, and Liu Rengong did not go to the imperial court, but to Helian Duo.

Helian Duo saw that Liu Rengong was good, so he appointed him as the town general, because of his bravery, he was reused.

"That Ben Shuai and the others are waiting here for the good news of General Liu Zhen!" Heliendor laughed.

It didn't take long for the Zhenwu army to launch an attack on the eastern surrendered city.

There were not many garrisons in the eastern surrendered city, but 3,000 people, after seeing the overall situation of the Zhenwu army, although they still resisted, but after a few hours, they chose to open the door and surrender.

But the wolf smoke has been ignited, and the news of the Zhenwu army's large-scale attack has also begun to spread to Zhongshou and other places.

。。。。。。

"Li Shilang, don't worry, he is already about to arrive in Xia Sui, and he will be able to reach Xia Zhou in two days at the latest!"

Seeing Li Siji, who looked bad along the way, Dong Lang comforted the other party.

Li Sijian and his entourage were delayed in Chang'an for two days, because officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Medical Department also needed to accompany them, so they were delayed here.

The size of the group is not small, there are as many as a dozen officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Medical Department, and there are hundreds of people accompanying them.

In addition, there were two hundred brocade guards accompanying him.

Of course, counting these alone, the entire team is more than 300 people.

But when passing through Yanzhou, Li Cunxiao sent a cavalry escort from the capital.

Zuo Shenweijun had received Li Ye's secret order before Li Sijian and others arrived, so he had already been mentally prepared.

If Xia Sui is really not calm, it cannot be ruled out that Li Sijian and his party will encounter some things on the way back to Xiazhou.

"Thank you Commander Dong for your concern!" Li Sijian showed a very reluctant smile.

"Li Shilang is polite. The party clan, the Li clan where Li Shilang is located, is the most loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Xia Guogong is critically ill, and the saints are worried.

If all the feudal towns in the world are as loyal as Li Shilang's family, why worry that the Tang Dynasty will not be able to reproduce its former glory. Dong Lang smiled.

For the Tang Dynasty, Li can only see it from poetry books, and he is also yearning. If he can personally witness the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li is not in vain in the world. Li Sijian said absentmindedly.

"Li Shilang, we may really be able to witness it for ourselves. Since his accession to the throne, the current saint has made great efforts to pacify the feudal towns, and over time, he may not be able to reproduce the glory of my Tang Dynasty. Dong Lang said confidently.

"Li is also looking forward to it!"

But at the mention of this, Li Siji's mind was even more worried.

He is in the center of the imperial court, and he is relatively well-informed, so he naturally knows some of the thoughts of the current saint.

His eldest brother just wants him to go back and take over the post of Xia Suijiedu's envoy, but will the court let him?

Zuo Shenwei's army had obviously prepared for the big war, indicating that he had received the news before he arrived in Yanzhou.

All of this made him very worried.

Big brother's illness is really not at the right time!

Dong Lang has never been to Xia Sui, because of his identity, so he is more curious about the surrounding situation along the way.

But just as he was looking around, a bright light suddenly came from the jungle not far away, which made Dong Lang subconsciously block it with his hand.

"Commander Dong, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Dong Lang raise his hand, Li Sijian was puzzled.

Thinking of the light that pierced his eyes, Dong Lang was a little puzzled, and then his face changed greatly, and he guessed the reason, and immediately reined in the horse and shouted, "It's not good, there are enemies!" ”

Perhaps to confirm Dong Lang's words, as soon as his voice ended, sharp arrows were shot out in the jungle not far away.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Dong Lang shouted, and while shouting, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, regardless of whether he was embarrassed or not, he would live first and then talk about it, and he was still riding a horse at this time, which was undoubtedly a target.

The continuous shooting of sharp arrows caused a sudden chaos in the team, and many officials, soldiers, and civilians who accompanied them fell to the ground one after another, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, hundreds of men dressed as party members were killed.
