The news that Li Cunxin died in the battle and lost Jizhou City soon came back to Li Keyong's ears, and Li Keyong, who was already a little exhausted, heard the news and almost closed it in one breath, but fortunately there were many people around him at that time, and after a period of scramble, he was rescued.

Li Keyong not only feels sorry for Li Cunxin, his adopted son, but also feels sorry for Jizhou City, which has been running for many years, and the most distressed thing is the 50,000 troops in Jizhou City.

Things are even worse than imagined, as soon as Jizhou City is lost, Li Keyong almost exposed his entire rear, and what's worse is that Zhu Wenjun can also borrow the road from Jizhou, using it as a springboard to join the Khitans, and then Youzhou City will be undefendable.

"Father, what are we going to do now?" Li Cunxiao helped Li Keyong up and said with a worried face.

"Quick, let someone go to Your Majesty, tell Your Majesty the current situation, and be sure to ask Your Majesty to attack Xuzhou City earlier." Li Ke coughed twice and said with some pain.

"Master Li, leave this matter to me." Zhang Chengye sighed, walked to the bed and whispered.

Li Cunxiao glanced at Zhang Chengye with some complicated feelings, and wanted to stop him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only sigh and act as if he hadn't heard his words.

"It's hard work for Lord Zhang, and I hope that Lord Zhang can tell him about the current battle situation when he meets His Majesty, and don't delay the fighter." Li Keyong nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials know the importance of this matter, and they will not disappoint your lordship." Zhang Chengye bowed his head lightly and said solemnly.

"In that case, then please let Master Zhang leave as soon as possible, this official is waiting for your good news." Li Ke smiled a little reluctantly and said softly.

"Yes, take care, sir." Zhang Chengye glanced at Li Keyong gratefully, then turned around and walked out.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room became a little depressing, and the generals looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

"Father, I'm afraid I won't come back once Lord Zhang goes on this trip." Li Cunxiao looked at Zhang Chengye's departing back and muttered.

"How could I not know that he would not come back? It's just that this person is loyal to the royal family and only wants to go to His Majesty, if we stop it again, it will fall into His Majesty's ears, and it will not be beautiful. Rick sighed and waved his hand.

"The child understands, it's just the father, and now that Jizhou has been lost, what should we do? The small walls of this Yingzhou city are low, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the large-scale attack of the enemy. Li Cunxin nodded and said with some concern.

"This letter is too disappointing, we just left on the front foot, and he lost Jizhou City on the back foot, and now it makes us a little dilemma."

Li Keyong was silent, how could he not be disappointed in his heart? Originally, he thought that the emperor had already brought people here, as long as their army pressed in the direction of Xuzhou, then Jizhou City would not have too much pressure, as long as he was careful, no matter how bad it was, the city would not be ruined, and he and others would take people to Youzhou to support the worse war situation.

But who would have thought that he had only been away for two or three days, and this Jizhou City would be lost inexplicably, which was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and instantly disrupted all his arrangements and preparations.

"Nowadays, we can only take one step at a time." After a long time, Li Keyong sighed and said a little tiredly.

Since Zhao Fan's strong rise, Li Ke has been a little hesitant in his heart, all along, he Li Keyong has regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he is unwilling to let him hand over all the authority, so his heart is contradictory.

During the Shaanzhou War, he had the opportunity to rescue Zhao Fan, but he hesitated, and finally chose to watch the fire from the other side, acting as a bystander, and he even had some vague hope in his heart that Zhao Fan could die in Shaanzhou City, so that he could support a less powerful emperor to ascend the throne.

To put it simply, Li Keyong is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but he is not loyal to the emperor, so he is a very contradictory combination, but this is the case.

And it was precisely because of this that since he couldn't make up his mind to deal with Zhao Fan, he messed up the originally intimate relationship between the two, which finally led to the Luoyang tragedy, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out.

But after the incident, he didn't hate Zhao Fan, maybe because he had expected in his heart that there would be such a day, so when it really happened. He wasn't so surprised.

Later, as time went by, Li Keyong found more and more that this little emperor was indeed an imperial talent, completely different from his cheap brother Tang Xizong, not only very thoughtful in military affairs, but also extremely powerful in terms of economy and people's livelihood, which also made Li Keyong gradually begin to change his mind.

He thought very simply, if Zhao Fan is Liu Xie, then he Li Keyong is Cao Cao, if he Zhao Fan is Li Shimin, then he Li Keyong can do Cheng Biting Jin once and can't from time to time.

But the sky does not follow people's wishes, he just began to have this idea, Zhu Wen called, in desperation, he could only send his family to Chang'an, and sent his own brother to Chang'an to explain the situation to Zhao Fan.

He Li Keyong sincerely wants to belong to Zhao Fan, but whether the generals below him are willing or not, it is difficult to say...

……

On the outskirts of Xuzhou, Zhao Fan is researching the map in the hands of the people in the camp, and now the intelligence agency in Zhang Ji's hands has begun to gradually mature, not only to supervise internal problems, but also to collect some other intelligence, such as the topographic map and defense map of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou as an important defense line of Zhu Wen, the number of garrisons in the city is quite large, not only 50,000 elite soldiers stationed, but also countless city defense equipment, the city is even more resourceful, even if it is besieged for several years, there will be no problem.

After all, this is an important line of defense against Zhao Fan, and it is completely understandable that it is a little tighter.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Just as Zhao Fan was studying how to take Xuzhou City at the lowest cost, Zhang Ji suddenly rushed in with a serious face.

"Zhang Aiqing, why are you so panicked?" Zhao Fan raised his head and glanced at Zhang Ji and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Jizhou City was lost, Li Cunxin was killed in battle, and tens of thousands of elite troops under his command were wiped out." Zhang Ji said slowly with a gloomy face.

"What?" Zhao Fan put down the map in his hand and said with some excitement, "Is this Li Cunxin a pig?" Tens of thousands of troops plus Jizhou City, which is high in walls and deep in the city, was actually captured in just two or three days? ”
