Whoever wanted to walk in was a number of eunuchs with high grades of Zhu Zi, saying that it was the emperor in Beijing who issued an edict: There are many cardinals in the political hall under the Zhongshu Gate, and Xiao Zhonglang does not have to be in charge of the military machine anymore, and he will return to the capital immediately.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the bureaucrats and generals present were all shocked.

And when Xiao Fu himself was lying on the ground, the beads of sweat on the door of his head and the back of his neck kept coming out, he understood that after leaving the Jingshi, he was framed by political enemies, and this was a catastrophe, but after all, he was a politician, and he knew the truth that he couldn't be emotional, and he couldn't miss the mission of pursuing Ma Chongying like this, so he straightened up, arched his sleeves, and asked if my camp shogunate could not be disbanded.

The eunuch said, Xiao Zhonglang rest assured, there will be no delay in the war, His Majesty is just in the face of political indecision, so he misses Xiao Zhonglang, and will be replaced by Hun Shizhong immediately, the camp shogunate here is still the same, and Xiao Zhonglang's previous instructions are still the same.

Xiao Fu gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in pain, thinking in his heart that as long as he could destroy the thieves for the country, even if I died, it didn't matter, and I hoped that Hun Yang would finally be done.

So he recited the holy grace, and then the eunuch said to the people next to him in the tent, please relieve Xiao Zhonglang's belt to heaven.

The Tongtian Belt was granted to him by the emperor personally when Xiao Fu took office, indicating that he had the power to control the Jieyue, attack one side, and dispose of cheap within the scope of the Seven Towns.

"Don't bother with it, I'll do it myself." Xiao Fu got up slowly, calmly untied the Tongtian belt, and respectfully handed it over to the eunuch's hands.

Then in the face of the panicked camp, Xiao Fu saluted everyone and said, "After the prime minister leaves, you must carefully follow the orders of the Hun servants, and do not let go of the Xifan thieves who slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of Yanzhou." ”

"Xiao Zhonglang!" In a burst of exclamation and reluctance, Xiao Fu hung his head and resolutely walked out of the boss's tent......

At the same time as Xiao Fu returned to Beijing, in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Li Shishou pointed out the prime minister, especially in the face of Zhang Yansheng, gritted his teeth, and said: "Ma Sui suddenly left soldiers and horses in Mengmen Pass, and did not cross the Yellow River according to military orders, do you know?" ”

"I don't know, the minister is in front of His Majesty, but I don't know what the horse servant thinks?" Zhang Yansheng looked stunned, and said Your Majesty, what is the reason for you to blame me.

Li Shi walked back and forth angrily with his hands behind his back, and then threw the piece sent by Hun Ying down the stairs, Zhang Yanxian hurriedly bowed down and picked it up, and then looked at it slightly, and his heart was also mixed.

Ma Sui, Ma Sui, why are you so ignorant, you don't know the general situation, how can I form an alliance to find you a martial artist who doesn't care about the overall situation!

But the emperor's spearhead was directed at himself, and the emperor must have known his relationship with Ma Sui, and thought that the reason why Ma Sui was like this was his own order.

This is amazing, Zhang Yansheng couldn't argue, he could only pretend to be dead, even Huchen was dedicated to recommending Hun Shizhong, Ma Sui really didn't know what he wanted about the minister.

Li Shi waved his hand impatiently, and immediately said: "Hun Xuan is a loyal person, the reason why Ma Sui did this, I think there is also his reason in it, I am waiting for his recital here, but it is important to encircle and annihilate Ma Chongying, and it is important to exterminate all the rebels, Ma Sui wants to be this envoy, I will appoint an envoy now, what do you think." ”

"......" Now it is Zhang Yansheng's turn to be embarrassed, the emperor's question, is he against or agrees?

In the end, he could only say that since His Majesty thought it was appropriate, of course the ministers did not dare to object.

"Humph!" The emperor coldly shook off the word and brushed his sleeves away.

In the dormitory of Daming Palace, the emperor who was still sulking was walking in the palace, accompanied by Zheng Qi, a bachelor of Hanlin and Huo Zhongtang, a lieutenant, looking at the various flowers in the pond, and suddenly remembered the Empress Zhaode who had gone, and couldn't help but feel sad again, "You are now a bodhisattva, a goddess, and I am still miserable in this world." Alas, you are beside me, and you have not had a good life, you were frightened when I was the prince in Shaoyang Courtyard, and you moved to Fengtian within two years after practicing Zuo, and you suffered a lot along the way, after returning to Chang'an, I still want to stay with you and take care of the world, who wants to turn around and be separated forever...... I'm ashamed of you! ”

Thinking about it, the emperor suddenly thought that Empress Zhaode had become a goddess, which was dreamed of in the third year of high school!

Can be high school three ......

"Xingyuan Defense Envoy Gao Yue!" The emperor couldn't help but blurt out.

At this time, Huo Zhongtang finally seized the opportunity to speak, and hurriedly said that Gao Lian had taken the Baicao Army out of Xiao Pass, and was ready to go to Mingsha to cut off Ma Chongying's way back.

The emperor's hands were shaking, "This Hun Xuan and Ma Sui have not been able to cross the river, and my Tang people in Gyeongju are not enough to launch a pursuit, so the third year of high school is facing tens of thousands of soldiers, isn't it a lone army?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Huo Zhongtang didn't say much.

Zheng Qi was on the side, and his face changed.

"Quick, from the fastest horse sent by the Jingshi to Fengtian City, let Tan Zhizhong send the fastest horse to Xiaoguan again, and tell the third year of high school not to go to Anle Prefecture for the time being. I can't...... I can't lose the entire White Grass Army, tell the senior that even if I let go of Ma Chongying, I have to bring the White Grass Army back to me completely! The emperor hurriedly commanded, and then he looked back at Zheng Qi.

It was the first time for Zheng Qi to see the emperor's eyes like this, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Wenming, you are the same year as the third year of high school?" The Emperor asked.

Zheng Qi arched his sleeves and nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.

"The imperial note that allowed the White Grass Army to retreat, I will leave it to you to write." The emperor said, and then paused, and said to Zheng Qi with some sadness, "If Ma Chongying escapes, not only will Hedong Jiedu make Ma Sui, but even your father-in-law will have to bear some responsibility." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Qi buried his head lower, and his heart was full of panic and uneasiness.

When Master Zheng hurried back to the Hanlin Academy in Yintaimen and spread pen and ink on the bookcase, Huo Zhongtang waited eagerly beside him—and at this time, Gao Yue's Baicao army had already swept out of the Slaughtering Bull Ridge and began to besiege the first nail that blocked its way to Mingsha, Anle Zhou City.

Due to the previous cavalry sweep of Miyuan and Ximencang, half of the Dangxiang Fanluo on the border of Yuanzhou has been slaughtered, and some of the other Fanluo in Anle Prefecture and the edge of Yuanzhou have fled to the Zhongwei City in the northwest of Weiru Sichuan and adjacent to the Yellow River (Zhongwei, that is, where the military city of Tang Feng'an Army was located), and several Fanluo have fled to Anlezhou City.

Hearing that Gao Yue had brought more soldiers this time, the thousands of people who had fallen from the countryside did not dare to show any resistance at all, nor did they dare to surrender to the Baicao military envoy, so they carried their cattle, clansmen and dome to the old city of Mingsha.

For the entire Mingsha County, Zhongwei is the so-called Mingsha New Town, and the old place in the south of Lingwu is called the Mingsha Old Town.

Therefore, after the White Grass Army came to the city of Anlezhou, there were no longer any party tents and guards inside and outside the city.

Under the banner of the black and white Pixiu, Gao Yue stood on the rammed earth fortress of the state city, and looked in the direction of the old city of Mingsha.

Frankly speaking, the old city of Mingsha is 300 miles away from here, and the middle is full of vast desert.

The footsteps of people or war horses, stepping on this desert, follow the sound of the road, so it is called "singing sand".

But even so, on the east side of this city, there is still a river passing through it, that is, the Anle River, which flows north through Lingwu City and into the Yellow River.

In Gao Yue's eyes, Anle River, as the only river in this desert Hanhai, is definitely a place where the White Grass Army and Ma Chongying's troops will fight.
