Li Xuanji, who was made an exception by the emperor as the Marquis of Guannei, never thought that he, as the head of a army, would betray the Han Dynasty. He was ambitious, but it was for the future of their Li family, or rather, for the future of the little prince in the Jade Palace.

But he was finally persuaded and agreed to some of his cheap uncle's requests. Because, after thinking about it, he felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, which was very reasonable.

If the Jade Palace wants to overpower the momentum of the Jianzhang Palace, and the little prince Liu He wants to replace the crown prince one day as the prince of the country, the biggest obstacle in front of him is neither from the emperor nor from the court, but from the contest of their own strength.

Even if Li Wanyu's grace has faintly surpassed that of the queen, and the Li family brothers are all valued by the emperor for their literature and martial arts, but if you compare it seriously, the strength of the queen and the crown prince is still a bit big!

If Yuan Zhao, the key person in this, can't deal with him for the time being. Then, in this expeditionary army, it is still possible to use the Hun cavalry to borrow swords to kill people, and get rid of some of their reliance in the army.

And what made Li Xuanji even more moved was that his eldest brother, who had surrendered to the Huns, secretly told him that he was in the Huns and in Han!

Creating fighters and using the power of the Huns to get rid of Wei Qing or Huo Qubing of the Red Fire Army is a plan to kill birds with one stone. Even if the Xiongnu Shan Yu was convinced of Pang Xin's surrender, he was reused step by step since then, so as to gain a firm foothold in the grassland royal court. It should not be difficult for Li Xuanji to quickly ascend to the position in the Han army, and with Li Wanyu's pillow style, it should not be difficult for his brother to become a general.

In this way, when the time is ripe in the future, when the time is ripe, the inside should be combined with the outside, and then when the Huns are officially decisive, they will definitely be able to achieve an unprecedented victory in one fell swoop. Li Xuanji, who has made such a meritorious achievement, will definitely have a more different weight in the emperor's mind, and at that time, what will the situation be?

Thinking of this, Li Xuanji's face showed a resolute look, and she had made up her mind in her heart. He is a thoughtful person, such a major matter, the slightest carelessness is a major crime of killing the head of the clan, and the written evidence must not leave a word. Then he beckoned Pang Xin, who was pretending to be an ordinary Han soldier, to his side and gave him a careful advice. Then he sent his most confidant to follow Pang Xin to the grassland and convey his opinion to King Hutu.

Pang Xin saw that Li Xuanji had been convinced, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. Now that he had decided, he did not delay any longer, and after saying goodbye to each other, he took the small group of men and horses with him and escaped into the deep night.

The general of the rear army, who was full of anger in his heart, looked at the direction in which they disappeared, and his face was hideous. The night wind is like a knife, the iron armor is cold, and the trace that has just swept through my heart will disappear again because of the guilt for the many Han soldiers who are about to die innocently.

One will be a success! Isn't that what they all say? If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed...... Li Xuanji didn't think much about it, turned around and returned to the big tent, and began to secretly plan and implement it.

In the long northwest battlefield, within a radius of three hundred miles, one of the most fierce collisions was about to begin. The three sides of the battle are:

All the way from the east, the Han Red Fire Army; The Western Qiang Kingdom, which blocked the way to the west, united with the Qiang armies of several nearby small countries; There is also a cavalry team of King Hugh Tu who stabbed diagonally from the direction of the grassland.

In the calm before the great war, a lot of secret information was being passed back and forth, and many decisions and deployments were being made in unknown places. Everyone has a hunch that once this war breaks out, it will be an earth-shattering shock, and the sea of sand will change color!

Meng Gu, the lord of Xiqiang, is a fierce general in his own right. In Xiqiang, almost all adult men can mount horses to face the enemy. Their horses are fierce, their spears are long, and they are fierce in this area. For the Han cavalry that came from afar, the Xiqiang people never felt that it was a threat. Since it was sent to the door, it was just looking for death beyond my strength!

When he heard that the Han army had finally come to his border, Meng Bai waved his hand indifferently in the face of the captain sent by the Hun Hutu King to negotiate a joint army, asking him not to rush to repay the prince first, and to watch the battle with the army first, to see how the Xiqiang warriors frustrated their spirits, and then make a decision after killing the Han army for a while.

Seeing that the lord of Xiqiang had such a big grasp, the Hun Commander was naturally happy to watch the battle for him. When he came, the prince explained clearly, first let the army of the Xiqiang Kingdom try the edge of the Han army to see how their combat strength is. Even if they can't win, they can still make the Han army suffer some losses, and then the Hun cavalry will take the opportunity to rush and kill, and the battle can be won.

There are 7,000 elite soldiers in Xiqiang, all of them are white horses, holding spears, rattan armor shields, and everyone knows how to fight bravely and well, which is extraordinary. With the order of the lord of the country, all of them were armed, and under the leadership of several generals, they left the city.

King Menggu stood at the head of the city, looking at the yellow sand that his elite team had stepped on, and was very proud. He looked back and boasted to his courtiers that within three days, good news would come, and the army would return to the city in triumph! All the ministers bowed and congratulated, and the voices of praise were endless.

In fact, his prediction was quite accurate. Sure enough, before the three days arrived, the army came to the city, but unfortunately, it was not his 7,000 elites.

There is still some time before the fierce confrontation between the three armies, and the eyes turn back to Chang'an for the time being. The hussar general, who was watching everything, probably never thought that her omnipotent master, in her eyes, was not immersed in the joy of being married at this moment, but fell into a panic and busyness.

In late spring, at the end of April, there was a big earthquake in Guanzhong! Hundreds of miles near Chang'an City were affected. Heavy rain then fell for several days. The people of Li wailed, and the lives were ruined!

Tomorrow and the unexpected, never know which will come first!

Yuan Zhao did not expect that fourteen years after he came to this era, he would experience the baptism of a major earthquake for the first time at the age of twenty-one.

The afternoon was very calm, the peaches and plums were blooming, the pears were like snow, and the spring wind brought the fragrance of flowers from far and near. The two future "prospective ladies" have been staying together and discussing things quietly recently, and they don't know what they think, so this time Yuan Zhao has to take them to play outside the city for a day.

Yuan Zhao couldn't stand their entanglement, looking at the longing for spring in those two pairs of beautiful eyes, what else could he do except smile and agree?

Probably the girl's heart always has an inexplicable solemnity for some rituals, maybe in Su Xi and Lingzhi think about it, after the big wedding soon after, they have changed their identities, and they can no longer be as unrestrained and casual as now.

Although Yuan Zhao didn't care about this, he would naturally try his best to meet all their requirements at such a time. Besides, he has been in Chang'an City for a long time, and he hasn't returned to Changle Plateau for nearly half a month to take a look. Although he can rest assured that there are people there to take care of the development of various industries, he always has to go back to see it.

The spring color on Changle Plateau is different from that in the city. Whether it is Su Lingzhi or Princess Suxi, everyone is no stranger. When they arrived here, it was no different from the two Hou mansions in Chang'an City.

Lu Jun, Li Ling and several other disciples had not seen each other for many days, and at this time, they gathered around Yuan Zhao, happily obeying his command, and while laughing and laughing, they quickly built a wooden swing frame.

On the wide flat ground in front of the big wooden hall, the grass is like grass at this time, the southernmost Weihe River is surging in spring, and the Zhongnan Mountain is also a piece of emerald green, which is a good season to go green.

Swinging, I don't know when it started, anyway, it is already quite popular in this era. Of course, girls love to play with these things. Anyway, there were no outsiders present, and the two sisters, Lingzhi and Suxi, tightened their dresses, rolled up their sleeves, and revealed their jade arms like spring onions. Red clothes and white shirts, like butterflies wearing flowers, warblers and swallows are playing.

This rare leisure, Yuan Zhao's mood is also extremely comfortable. He leaned under the begonia tree next to him, watching the pleasing woman dance in the wind, and at the same time casually teaching a few of his disciples a few moves, studying their recent cultivation progress.

The scale of various industrial production sites on Changle Plateau has already expanded several times compared with ten years ago, and it has been densely derived along both sides of Sword Lake. The smelter where the weapon is made makes a clanging sound. Several large ships in the dock have been painted and are just waiting to be launched. Farther away from Chang'an College, there was a ...... of reading in a low voice.

It would have been a very peaceful scene. Therefore, when a fruit fell and hit Yuan Zhao's head, and the body of the begonia tree shook violently at the same time, he didn't expect that an accident would happen in his daze. But when he looked up, his face had changed color.

As far as the eye can see, the dense forest of Cangshan Mountain on Nazhongnan Mountain is like a wave rolling at this moment, countless trees are falling down, rocks are collapsing, and the water of the Wei River stirs up huge waves, slapping the rocks, and splashing dozens of zhang high!

Everyone can see this sudden change in vision. Su Lingzhi, who was in mid-air on the swing, lost his face and exclaimed. And with the sound of the collapse of wooden buildings near and far, the swing frame that everyone had just set up also fell down with a bang.

I didn't know what was going on, but I realized that something was wrong. In the chaotic sound, Yuan Zhao had already jumped up, hugged Lingzhi's body in the air, and shouted loudly.

"It's an earthquake! Hurry up and save people! ”

Li Ling, Lu Jun, Zhuo Yu, and Park Yongyeol are not very old, they have never seen the power of an earthquake when they are so old. Seeing the scene of the landslide and the river backing up, he was already so frightened that his face turned white. Hearing the master's voice, he came back to his senses, hurriedly dropped what he was doing, and went to help the people in the nearby big wooden hall to escape.

Yuan Zhao handed over the trembling Lingzhi to Su Xi to take care of, and asked the two of them to stay in the central safety of this meadow and not run around.

"Earthquake...... Let's hope it doesn't get too serious! ”

When he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Chang'an, smoke and dust were everywhere, and Yuan Zhao's brows were tightly furrowed.
