Only to settle these things down, suddenly someone sent a letter, saying that Luoyang had sent troops to Chang'an, Sanniang and Chai Shao mobilized the whole city to resist, and now they have supported for half a month, but if the army does not come back to help, I am afraid that Chang'an is in danger.

It's a secret letter from Sanniang. If this matter is known before the battle, not only will Chang'an not be guaranteed, but I am afraid that even the victory just achieved will be in vain.

After reading the letter, I said, "Where is the messenger?" Bring him in. ”

Qiu Yingqi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the last general doesn't know who delivered the letter, and he found this letter when he got up in the morning. ”

Sanniang sent a message to me, if Chang'an is besieged, it must be very difficult to pass on the news, and it has arrived in less than half a month, and now that the war is raging, there are not many people who can do these two things.

But the person who delivered the letter was nowhere to be found, and I had no time to take care of these, just thinking that I would immediately return to the army to save it, and when the army returned to Chang'an, I was afraid that Chang'an would have already changed hands.

Qiu Ying was very irritated when he saw that I read the letter, and asked, "Your Majesty, but what happened?" ”

I shook my head and said nothing, thought about it, walked to the tent door, and ordered someone to ask Xu Shao to come and discuss.

After a short time, Xu Shao arrived at the Chinese military tent.

I glanced at Qiu Yingqi, waved my hand and said, "You go to the door of the tent and guard." ”

Qiu Yingqi also expected that the matter was very important, so he didn't say anything more, and only withdrew from the tent.

When I saw him go out, I faced Xu Shao and said, "General Xu, I want to ask the general about it today." ”

Xu Shao also seemed to notice that the atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was different from usual, so he said, "Your Majesty, please ask." ”

I said, "In the eyes of the general, what is Datang?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shao narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know what Your Majesty is asking. If you talk about the trend of secession, the world is big, the Tang Dynasty has gained most of it, and now it has pacified Nanliang, in fact, this world has long been His Majesty's. ”

I listened, but I only shook my head lightly and said, "What I want to ask is not this." ”

Xu Shao heard the words and said: "If you talk about the degree of the king. Forgive me for being disrespectful, if the emperor is still alive, he will have some qualifications. ”

I said, "In this way, according to the general's opinion, with my qualifications, I am not qualified enough to be the Son of Heaven?" ”

Xu Shao said: "That's not the case. ”

I said, "What does that mean?" ”

Xu Shao said: "Your Majesty is your own body, but the world is the world of all people, if Your Majesty can choose the virtuous and use it in the future, far from the villain is a gentleman, and the world can also be governed." ”

I nodded and said, "That makes sense, but I wonder if General Xu has confidence in me?" ”

Xu Shao looked at me and didn't answer my words, but asked coldly, "Chang'an?" ”

After only two words, I looked at him and nodded slowly.

There was silence in the tent for a while, and I bowed down to Xu Shaogong and said: "General Xu, the undercurrent in the court is surging, the general has no quarrel with the world, and now he has built a person who can be trusted, only the general, the general is highly respected, if he can sit in Jiangling for Jiancheng, he will not worry about returning to the north, but I don't know if the general is willing to trust the world to build." ”

Xu Shao thought for a long time, nodded slowly, and said: "It's not a secret, in Chang'an City, there have been many rumors about Your Majesty, and I am a person in the market, and it is inevitable that I will be vulgar, so I am wary of Your Majesty." Your Majesty first entrusted me with military affairs, and now I have entrusted me with important tasks, if I am suspicious, I will not only fail Your Majesty, but also live up to my own heart for the world, if Your Majesty can trust me, you can return to the north. ”

I nodded, and called Qiu Yingqi into the tent, and after a few words, I ordered the army to order Xu Shao to stay in Jiangling, and the imperial driver to rest in Jiangling.

In fact, Zimin and I have already left the army without a single soldier.

Naturally, I have my considerations for doing this, and I am thinking of people outside Luoyang City.

If the original intention of the former people does not change, Chang'an will not be in danger, even if there is danger, it will definitely be able to turn danger into relief.

While we were hurrying, Zimin asked, "Big brother, you said they ...... After a long time, they were used by Li Xuanba, and they were no longer the people of the eldest brother, and they had an old relationship with the Qin Palace, and they were once under Li Shimin's account, and now that he is back in power, these people must return to the wind, how can they turn back? ”

I said: "Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, they are all loyal and righteous people, since they left Chang'an with me, they have already decided to follow me, and Li Shimin ...... He has a lot of suspicions about his subordinates, not to mention that Qin Cheng and the others have betrayed, if the two of them are reused at this time, it is also at the time of employing people, and they have no choice but to do it, if Li Shimin really sits on the world in the future, it is unknown how they will be treated, they just can't consider this, but I predict it for them. As long as I know them with affection and reason, I am sure that they will continue to follow me. ”

In fact, as early as when I entered Chang'an, the first issue I considered was Luoyang, but now I have calmed Nanliang by mistake. Nanliang has decided, and when he looks back, the first thing is to recall Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie.

After Zimin and I left Jingzhou alone, we knew that someone was following us.

Zi Min has better ear power than me, so naturally I can't hide it from her, in fact, we already know who this person is, but strangely, he has never shown up.

I finally came to the suburbs of Luoyang, and I happened to see a tavern, I secretly told Zimin, Zimin smiled, nodded, and entered the tavern.

Entered the tavern, but did not drink, the guy saw us hurriedly walking towards the back door, he was not surprised, let us pass over, probably because the surrounding area of Luoyang was already very chaotic, and many people he couldn't afford to provoke.

After walking out of the tavern, we turned back to the front door, and sure enough, we saw Lu Yanqing looking at the door, turning around and wanting to leave, but I didn't know what I thought, so I turned back again, found a place to sit down, and asked the guy to bring two jars of wine.

I smiled secretly in my heart, seeing that there were no customers in the store, and Zimin and Zimin walked into the store hand in hand.

The guy was stunned for a moment when he saw us suddenly appear through the front door again, but then he greeted him and smiled: "Two guest officers, please inside!" ”

Lu Yanqing saw someone coming in, looked up, and under the eye of the eye, he was very embarrassed and about to run away, I flashed in front of him and said, "Master Lu, please sit down." He was about to flee backwards again, and Zimin was already in front of him.

Zi Min smiled: "Lu Gongzi didn't do something wrong, why did he run away when he saw us?" ”

Lu Yanqing scratched his head, looked at him for a moment and said, "Boss Cao and Boss Ding didn't come with you, right?" ”

Zimin waved his hand and said, "No, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Yanqing said: "Alas, I lost the dagger he gave me, and I really don't know how to go back to see them." ”

I smiled when I heard this: "No wonder Lu Gongzi never returned, it turned out to be because of this." ”
