Summary:
October of the Qingzhou calendar
The Chang'an army, which had made peace with Luoyang Prefecture, began to retreat.
Beifeng, Li Ji, Qingfeng, and Gao Xian were stranded in Luoyang City to discuss countermeasures because they were kidnapped by Chasing the Moon. At the same time, I also learned about the famous Jiantang River.
Luoyang Mansion due to the retreat of the Chang'an Army, the fleeing people have returned to the city one after another, Luoyang City has returned to its former prosperity, Luo Feng on the one hand began to investigate the old affairs of the previous dynasty, on the other hand, it is to do the matter of guarding against Changlong back to the horse gun, for this reason, also arranged for the new Luoyang Mansion Internal Security General, Ying Ji, the formation of a new internal guard army, the recruitment notice came out, the world was in an uproar.
In the imperial city, Li Wen, the son of heaven, seems to be addicted to games, does not ask about world affairs, and often closes the door in the Qianqiu Palace, Yuan Zhi replaces Gao Xian, who is on leave, and takes care of the palace guards.
The people of Sanqing Hall and Mowen Valley received a mysterious letter and went to Jinghua Lake to investigate.
Yangzhou Mansion is also quiet.
……
Autumn is high and cool, and the wind is light and light.
Nan Feiyan, blood-stained maple.
Luoyang Mansion
Luo Feng flipped through those old files, pressed his eyebrows from time to time, and looked at them for a while, but there was still no progress, and it seemed that some important military reports were missing.
"Marshal." Hideki stood in the doorway.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Luo Feng asked.
"The soldiers are about to block the East Camp." Hideki smiled bitterly.
"Hahaha, it's a good thing, this new army, you have to be careful, I don't want to encounter this situation again in the future......" Luo Feng thought about it this time, although there was no danger, but he couldn't gamble on luck like this anymore.
"Understood, don't worry." Hideki nodded solemnly.
"These days, I've read so many old military newspapers, and I feel like something is missing." Luo Feng got up, shook the military newspaper in his hand, and threw it on the table helplessly.
"No, why don't I go to the Imperial City again?" Yingji thought about it, and he obviously brought people back with all the boxes and bookshelves.
"Forget it, I don't think you can find it now." Luo Feng said.
"So someone is also investigating the old things of the former dynasty?" Eiki thought to himself.
"Well, intuition, the three young generals knocked on the Golden Gate at night, full of pride, but in the end, they all died on the battlefield, and all their families were killed or disappeared...... I always felt weird. Luo Feng suddenly thought of the General's Mausoleum.
"What does the marshal mean ......," Hideki said in surprise.
Luo Feng nodded, I don't know what else is hidden in this.
"By the way, you go and check it out for me, the boy who came to the house that day." Luo Feng's light flashed.
"Yes." Hideki turned and walked away.
Luo Feng arranged to go to Yingji, breathed a sigh of relief, called a few generals in, and arranged the city defense.

……
Hubao ferry crossing of the Yellow River
A few days ago, the Chang'an Naval Division had been ordered to stand by here.
The Chang'an army was boarding the ship in a hurry, preparing to retreat.
Chang Long stood on the flagship deck, holding the Chixiao Sword in his hand, his battle robe swaying in the wind, looking south at Luodu, his expression was melancholy, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
A group of generals behind him, staring quietly, how many people thought that they could have succeeded in a battle here, but they didn't think about it, just like that, they regretted returning......
"Marshal, let the last general, let's fight!" A young general couldn't help it, please say.
"Mansion Marshal!"
"Marshal, the last general is willing to go!"
"The last general is also willing to go!"
The generals chimed in.
Chang Long looked at the sky, feeling melancholy, he was close to the sixtieth birthday, I don't know, if I miss this time, can there be a next time, hateful, Luofeng Xiaoer, is so incompetent, he can't unify the soldiers and horses of Luoyang Mansion and fight with the old man with all his might......
Providence...... Perhaps it is providential......
"Alas......" With a long sigh, Chang Long turned around.
The generals were indignant and had a high fighting spirit.
"Old man, I used to be the same as you......" Chang Long remembered that when he was a young man in the army, his brotherhood was strong, galloping on the battlefield together, and fighting bravely to kill the enemy together...... Eventful years...... To this day...... How many survived......
"Why spare no effort to die at the gate of the country, ride a horse and gallop into the enemy's ranks." A general, arrogant, said loudly.
Everyone nodded.
Chang Long was speechless for a while, slowly scanning these young people with complicated eyes.
"Let's go back first, take the people of the headquarters, and board the ship as ordered." Chang Long waved his hand and said.
“…… Be. Seeing that Chang Long didn't want to talk about it anymore, the generals had no choice but to give up and leave helplessly.
The water is sparkling, the sun is cold, and the wind is long......
"Your Excellency...... It's windy, let's go back to the cabin......" Qinglian walked gently to Chang Long's side and said.
"Let's go...... The snow is difficult to make a scene, and looking south to the Central Plains for another year...... "Chang Long sighed, and he grew much older in an instant.
"Drink the juvenile taste of Qin wine, and keep the plum blossoms blooming in a garden. The general ...... "Qinglian didn't know what to say, she didn't look at Chang Long, her heart was turbulent, indescribable, and now, standing beside this person again, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and she didn't dare to think about how it would end......
Chang Long glanced at Qinglian meaningfully......
