In Feng'an, northwest, the broken stone tablet of the Sui Dynasty still stands next to the old city. But not far away, an earthen wall made of rammed earth appeared on the meadow, and the wooden structure supporting the building on it had not been removed, and many rammers, baskets, and wheelbarrows had not had time to be carried away, so it could be seen that the people who built this place had left in a hurry.

The people on horseback were dressed in different attire, some with pigtails, some with shawls, some with bald heads and hats. They slowly approached the abandoned construction site, pointing and watching.

"General Xu Jun has hurried back to fight for power!" A big man with gray sideburns shouted.

Li Yiyin! The person who spoke loudly was none other than Li Yiyin, the original leader of the party and the league, who did not go north to Liao and appeared here again.

"The Dangxiang people, the Tibetan people, the Liangzhou natives, and the Uighurs can only unite together." Li Yiyin said loudly with round eyes. People of all ethnic groups watched from the sidelines, and even the party members reacted coldly...... The main Li Yiyin has suffered two defeats in a row, which has caused distrust among the tribes.

He pointed to the earthen fortress from afar, and said: "100,000 Xu troops (claimed) have built forts here, and there have also been a large number of Xu army activities in Yuanwei (near Jingtai City). The actual evidence is in front of him, Xu Jun originally wanted to seize Hexi, the entire northwest, and slaughter all the tribes! If the tribes sit idly by, and wait for the people of the country to come to their senses, they will be defeated by each one, and today they will be the Dangxiang, and tomorrow they will be the Sum, the Tibetans, and the Uighurs of Ganzhou......"

He also found the envoys from the Tubo Tusi Ma tribes from the crowd and said to them: "The Hexi Party tribes have no way out, and a large number of tribes have moved south into your territory. In the future, it will become an infighting in the northwestern provinces.

If the people of Liangzhou are indifferent at this time, you have also seen that the next goal of the Xu army is to capture Liangzhou by force! ”

Li Yiyin immediately used the party's words to the nearby people: "Xu Guoren killed my children, cattle and sheep, and took away my pasture, the world is so big, where does my clan live and reproduce?!" When he said this, his expression and tone were full of tragedy, "Today, if you don't fight, you will die!" There is no place to stay, do we want to be like a lost dog to send people under the fence, or do we march into a wider land and get stronger strength?

Capture Helan Mountain, recover Pingxia, and make a comeback in Dabai Gaodongshan! ”

A large group of people around were silent, but they were undoubtedly moved by Li Yiyin's reasoning. The wind is sweeping through the silent herds of horses, galloping across the vast meadows, where the endless northwest land is located, and the wind seems to bring the vigorous past of countless years......

At this time, a Tibetan lama said quietly: "Li Gong has far-reaching vision and a strategic mind, but he is just ...... The martial arts are a little worse. ”

Li Yiyin said categorically: "Everyone, support this king for the last time!" ”

It was cold for a long time, and finally someone stepped forward one after another, promising to go back to help Li Yiyin persuade the tribe.

……

Xu Jun rode tens of thousands of horses and had arrived in Luoyang, Xijing. A big banner with the word "Li" in the Chinese army fluttered in the wind, and on the north bank of the Luohe River, the people and horses on the main roads were like long dragons.

However, Luoyang City was tightly closed, and Li Chuyun's army was not allowed to enter the city, and even asked the Xu army to be stationed on the north bank of the Luohe River, not to cross the river, and only sent officials to contact the matter of giving food, grass and military supplies. Its officials' wariness against suspicion is obvious.

Li Chuyun ordered the troops to set up a military camp on the north bank of the Luo River, and forbade the construction of pontoon bridges on the river. Li Chuyun and the others led the horses to drink water on the riverbank, and he looked at the familiar Central Plains walled city tower on the other bank, and his heart was mixed.

At dusk, the smoke inside and outside the city walls was filled, and the few smoke rose into the air, looking like beacon smoke from a distance. The Central Plains is still peaceful, but the cold autumn wind and smoke have added a bit of depression to the earth.

"Li Gong......" Zhongli's voice came from behind him. Li Chuyun turned his head to take a look, and when he saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, there seemed to be something.

Li Chuyun then raised his hand and waved, and the nearby soldiers led the horses downstream.

Zhong Li stepped forward with a gloomy face and whispered: "The old man met a friend from Hebei earlier and told the old man a secret news that the Daimyo's Mansion was successively transferring troops south...... It seems that he entered Beijing by the secret order of Empress Fu. ”

"King Wei?" Li Chuyun's expression changed, "He is a local vassal king, what is he doing with his troops in Beijing?" Why didn't I hear anything? ”

Zhong Li said: "The local soldiers in Hebei have died down and quietly left the city in batches, and it is difficult for people in Tokyo to know for the time being. ”

Li Chuyun frowned and said, "This news is true?" ”

"My friend is also a member of the Zhong family, and I have been friends for many years, so there should be no fake." Zhong Lidao.

Zhongli raised his palm to cover his eyebrows, looked at the Luoyang City Gate in the distance, and looked back around.

Li Chuyun was also looking around, under the sunset, the mountains on the horizon turned into black shadows, and this place seemed to be blocked on all sides, and a depressed mood came to his heart.

He had an instinct based on years of experience: dangerous.

Zhong Li muttered: "I promised the forbidden army on my own territory, but I was rejected by the officials like thieves, who gave them the confidence?" ”

Li Chuyun frowned and said, "What does Mr. Zhong want to say?" ”

Zhong Li's expression froze, and he turned around and bowed: "Gong Li, we have to be careful!" The letter you sent back to Tokyo could have become a treasonous mantra...... From all indications, the old man suspects that the official family is no longer in charge of government, and the government has been controlled by Empress Dafu. In the eyes of Empress Dafu, Gong is the biggest threat and opponent in battle, and she must deal with it quickly! She should set up a situation at this time and wait for Li Gong to go back. ”

Li Chuyun lowered his head in contemplation, and he kept rubbing his head vigorously with his rough hands, confused and hesitant.

Zhong Li's voice said: "Others hurry up and plan the layout, but we still have no strategy...... The old man is really worried about the safety of the public! ”

Li Chuyun said: "If this is the case, the royal family and the Privy Council have ordered that the prince has no choice but to hand over the military power, what else can be done?" ”

Zhongli said in a deep voice: "The official family is seriously ill, which is really unfortunate; But luckily, the timing was coincidental...... The public happens to have military power at this time. ”

Li Chuyun's face changed: "What if you have military power?" ”

Zhongli whispered: "Summoning Shi Yanchao, Wei Renpu and others to the Chinese army, and killing the henchmen!" Then he said that the official family had been seized by traitors, and ordered the troops to play the banner of 'Qing Jun's side' and lead troops into Beijing! ”

Li Chuyun's face was red and white for a while, and he was speechless for a long time.

Zhong Li said: "When the judgment is constantly suffering, it will be chaotic!" The old man knew that Li Gong was unwilling to provoke a civil war, but now, the Fu family had already wanted to put Li Gong's family to death, cut the grass and eradicate the root cause to prevent future troubles, and had no choice. ”

Li Chuyun didn't refute Zhong Li, because he also knew in his heart that if Empress Fu was in power, it would be obvious that the Li family would be the Fu family's biggest opponent......

"Li Gong!" Zhong Yuan's anxious concern was very sincere, and he was more anxious than anyone else.

Zhongli's details had already been found out when he was in prison, this person had no heirs, and he was old, so there was really no need to seek a future for himself; His emotions were agitated and anxious, except for being loyal to the lord, Li Chuyun really couldn't think of any other reason.

"Li Gong Mingjian, Jin Shang originally became powerful through the soldiers in the capital, and then took advantage of the expedition to hold the forbidden army outside, and was supported by the yellow robe in Songzhou. A lesson from the past, but it has only been a few years, and it is impossible for Empress Fu not to be wary.

Besides, Empress Dafu and Concubine Guifei are both today's women, and women are the most jealous, so it is strange that she can really marry Concubine Li. Now centrifugation and detachment from Germany are inevitable.

When it comes to life and death, who will be merciful and let others go when they have the opportunity......"

"Go down!" Li Chuyun suddenly interrupted Zhong Li's words coldly.

Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, silently clenched his fists and made a deep squeeze, and turned to leave.

Only Li Chuyun was left standing alone on the bank of the Luo River, facing the wind on the river, unable to move for a long time.

Li Chuyun has too many things, because he didn't have anything before, so he values it extra. He is a prince of the country, a royal prince, and he is not an outlaw, so he is absolutely unwilling to bet all on it casually.

At this time, he was tortured by huge mental pressure and his hair turned a lot gray, and he thought too much.

However, back then, Zhao Kuangyin was also one person below ten thousand people, and he had everything. Overnight, isn't it also ruined, and in the end he is still in a different place......

The army camped overnight on the banks of the Luo River, and the next day the camp continued to march eastward along the main road, and nothing happened for a while.

Tens of thousands of horses have entered the hinterland of the Central Plains, passing through Xijing, and the capital city of Tokyo is very close.
