Luoyang, Li Deyu's house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The scorching sun was at the head and the heat was in full swing, Li Deyu stood quietly under the eaves, looking a little rickety, and his thin body was trembling in this unbearable summer heat.

"Lang Jun, your body is important, let's go in!" Manager Zhang sighed lightly and said.

After a long time, Li Deyu slowly spoke: "Xu Zhou and his party are very dangerous, I don't know what happened to him!" ”

"Shaolang Junji is a natural person, and he is smart and agile, so he will be able to get along safely!" Mr. Zhang replied.

Li Deyu fell silent, his sharp and deep gaze had become dim and cloudy, "I used to think that I could let go of the knot in my heart, but now it seems that I may not be able to let go until I die!" ”

"Now that Lang Jun is outside the court, why bother thinking about the court, you have done enough for this Datang!" Manager Zhang couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart.

"No, it's not enough......" Li Deyu didn't say any more, but his eyes became more and more cloudy.

......

In the evening, with a heavy sound, the gate of Xuzhou City finally opened slowly, and the merchants who had been gathered outside the city for nearly two days couldn't help but raise their eyes, only to see that the one who appeared in the city gate was a young man in a green shirt and a scarf, and behind him were five county soldiers wearing the armor of the loyal army, but although these five people looked ordinary, they had a little more solemn aura than ordinary county soldiers.

"It's him!" An old man among the merchants shouted with joy on his face.

At this moment, the young man and his party drove their horses forward, walked to the merchants and said loudly: "From now on, Xuzhou City will no longer turn you away!" ”

As he spoke, the young man turned around and pointed to the city gate, "This city gate will always be open for my people of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

When the words fell, all the merchants immediately shouted Long live Your Majesty, and then bowed and thanked Li Zhen again and again, and then flocked into the city.

After leaving Xuzhou, Li Zhen did not return to Luoyang, but went straight to Gongxian.

......

Outside the county seat of Gongxian County.

Xuanwu's 10,000-strong army camped thirty miles outside the city, and surrounded this small county town, and it has been three days since Gongxian was besieged, but the Xuanwu army does not seem to have any immediate plans to attack the city, but has been building siege materials in the camp day and night.

In this regard, Zheng Ya and others were all worried, according to this, the Xuanwu army's siege of the city was only in these few days, and the city defense of Gongxian County would not last for three days, but Zheng Ji was the only one who did not panic, and even persuaded his father to put his mind at ease, and swore that the Xuanwu army would never attack the city.

And when Zheng Yaxiang asked the reason, Zheng Ji immediately pretended to be mysterious and said: "Guess! ”

provoked Zheng Ya to pick up the low case in front of him and threw it over, but fortunately, Yan Heng quickly caught the low case firmly.

Zheng Ji couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "I can't see that the virtuous brother has such skills!" ”

Yan Heng grinned, glanced at Zheng Zheng with a natural look, and said earnestly: "When it has become a habit to be beaten, you will know that this is nothing at all!" ”

......

Bianzhou.

Liu Qing was an ordinary foot soldier of the Xuanwu Army before, and because of his outstanding performance in the drill at the beginning of the year, Sun Jian personally appointed him as his personal guard, and now it has been more than half a year.

For the current unprovoked and inexplicable war, as Liu Qing, he can't know too much, all he can do is obey orders, but he still feels that what happened this time is a little weird, because he hasn't seen Sun Zhijun for five days.

Today it is Liu Qing's turn to be on duty in the Yanei, most of the Xuanwu army has been dispatched, and now there are only 1,000 defenders in Bianzhou City, so Liu Qing has not dared to be careless in the slightest these days, for fear that something will go wrong at this juncture.

"Can you be in the room?" At this moment, I saw a middle-aged military general with a tall figure entering from outside and asking Liu Qing.

After hearing this, Liu Qing hurriedly said: "Back to the general's words, the subordinates didn't see the envoy go out, so he should still be inside!" ”

The military general nodded, and then ignored Liu Qing and pushed the door directly.

This person is Sun Jian's personal guard Guo Sheng, who has followed Sun Jian for more than five years, Sun Jian has great trust in him, and Guo Sheng is also loyal to Sun Jian, so Liu Qing is naturally accustomed to Guo Sheng's move.

After a while, Guo Sheng pushed the door out and said to Liu Qing: "Pass the order and withdraw the army!" ”

After hearing this, Liu Qing was suddenly a little stunned, stunned in place, and didn't know what to do, "Withdraw...... Withdrawal?! ”

"This is the envoy's order! Don't get out of here yet! Guo Sheng suddenly said angrily.

"Dare to ask the general, withdraw ...... Where to retreat? Liu Qingzhan asked again tremblingly.

"Wherever you go out, you retreat!" Guo Sheng replied next.

"Whoa!" Liu Qing took the order and left, although a series of unbelievable orders in recent days have made Liu Qing numb, but at this moment Liu Qing still feels a little strange in his heart, after all, this soldier was inexplicable at the beginning, and it is even more inexplicable to withdraw today.

......

Half a day later, the people in Luoyang City were surprised to find that the county soldiers defending the city had changed back to their old faces, and those strange county soldiers had already disappeared a few days ago, and at the same time, the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Dongdu Qi Defense Battalion had also ended the confrontation with the Xuanwu Army, and then marched straight to the direction of Gongxian.

In the early morning of the next day, the defenders of Gongxian County were equally surprised to find that the Xuanwu rebels originally stationed outside the city had disappeared without a trace overnight, as if they had never existed in the first place.

And just when Zheng Ya and others were puzzled by this, they heard that Guo Sheng, the general of the Xuanwu army, came to ask for a meeting.

"What is Sun Jian's intention for coming at this time!" Wang Ning couldn't help but groan. "In my opinion, it's better not to see it, the rebels are the rebels, and it must be fearful to withdraw the army at this time, but even this can't change its previous rebellion!"

"Or maybe he's here to negotiate the conditions, maybe those Xuanwu troops are secretly ambushing somewhere at this time, and once we can't meet their conditions, we will be fierce!" Zheng Jin said with a sneer.

"He can't have arrested Da Lang, right?" Yan Heng suddenly exclaimed.

After hearing this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten, what Yan Heng said was not impossible, if he arrested Li Zhen, then he would have more confidence in negotiation.

Thinking of this, Zheng Ya couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you have to see it!" ”

"Send the order down and let him wait in the main hall!" Zheng Ya said, and then said to Zheng Ji and Wang Ning: "Pick some people with good skills to ambush outside the hall and listen to my orders!" , if Li Zhen is caught by him, if he is not in his hands, he will teach him to come and go! ”
