Chapter 61: The Return

"Don't you already know?" Li Ji asked.

"What I know is that Li Tai rebelled in Junju." Li Shen said with a somewhat hideous face.

"What did you say, King Wei, he also rebelled?" Li Ji asked loudly with a look of disbelief on his face.

Li Shen nodded and said, "What's the situation in Chang'an City now?" ”

"It has been occupied by King Wu."

"has been occupied by Li Ke, who are involved in it." Li Shen asked coldly.

"It seems that all major families are involved, including Zhang Liang."

"Do you know anything about my family?"

Li Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know, the old man will go to Your Majesty first." ”

"No, hide this matter, if you let him know that Li Ke has also rebelled, he will definitely not be able to bear the blow at that time, and he must not reveal the slightest bit of this matter to him when he turns everyone around, and he will be beheaded for the order."

Li Ji looked at Li Shen with a cold face, nodded, and said, "The old man will arrange it." ”

"Arrange good people, leave 20,000 Xuanjia troops to escort my father back to Beijing, you can follow along, try to delay time, don't let my father go back so quickly, and when I settle the affairs of Chang'an City, I will send you a letter." Li Shen admonished.

Li Ji nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Looking at the back of Li Ji leaving, Li Shen sighed, he really didn't expect that Li Ke would actually embark on this road and rebel, is it so easy to do it? Now the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are basically in the hands of His Majesty Li Er, and it is destined to be a failure.

Li Shen looked in the direction of Datang and said in a low voice: "Li Ke, I hope you don't hurt my family, otherwise you won't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Li Shen's head is in chaos now, although there are more than a hundred members of the dark night guarding his home, but Chang'an City has been occupied by Li Ke, how can his family be safe and sound now? And he also knew that Li Ke was still a little jealous of him, and would definitely threaten him with the people in his family.

Li Shen closed his eyes, reached out and pounded his head, what should he do if this was really the case? How should he choose between love, family affection and righteousness? Is he confused at this point?

In the barracks, Li Shen looked at the gentlemen who walked in, nodded slightly, and said, "Sit down." ”

"Brother, what's going on? How everyone started to pack up. ”

"Li Tai and Li Ke have both rebelled, Li Tai has occupied several cities in Junzhou, and Li Ke has just sent news that he has occupied Chang'an City." Li Shen said helplessly.

"What?"

"What?"

"Brother Qian, how can this happen?"

"Damn, these two grandsons are also bold, brother, what do you say to do now?" Li Chongyi said with a shocked face.

Li Shen rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't know now, I'm just worried that the people in my family will fall into Li Ke's hands." ”

The scene fell silent, everyone frowned tightly, it was indeed a worrying thing, if this family fell into the hands of Li Ke, it would be really a little difficult, it was really not easy to enter Chang'an City to rescue people, if you threatened them, what should you do?

They don't care, after all, their father's identity is not simple, Li Ke doesn't dare to touch them, at most they are under house arrest, but Li Shen's family is really not easy to say.

Li Shen sighed and said, "That's it, you guys also pack up and wait for the next day." ”

Li Shen said to Qin Huaiyu: "There are about 90,000 horses collected in the army these days, Huaiyu, you first lead 30,000 horses to Dingzhou in the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible to collect saltpeter and these things, we will come later, the time is a little rushed, and you will be fortunate these days." ”

"Brother Qian, don't worry, I guarantee that I can complete the task." Qin Huaiyu said with a firm face.

said to Niu Jinda: "Uncle Niu, pass the order down, just carry a few days' food, and don't bring anything that can be put down for the time being." ”

"The last general commands." Niu Jinda clenched his fists and said.

The distance of 16,700 kilometers, even if it is a journey of 250 kilometers a day, it will take seven or eight days, the difficulty of the road, plus the time to prepare, Li Shen knows that he will not be able to reach Chang'an City without half a month.

"What city is ahead?" Li Shen asked Qin Huaiyu beside him with a tired face.

"Brother Gan, do you want to take a break?" Qin Huaiyu asked with a worried face.

Li Shen shook his head and said, "No need, let's talk about it when we get close to Chang'an City." ”

Qin Huaiyu sighed and said, "Ahead is Zhengzhou." ”

"Zhengzhou, how far is it from Chang'an?"

"There are still more than 400 kilometers to go." Qin Huaiyu said in a low voice.

"Have you found out the surrounding situation?"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

"Where is it after three hundred miles?"

"King Chengtian, the old man feels that it is better to push forward a little, otherwise it will be difficult to transport siege equipment and other things at that time, what do you think of Huaxian?" Niu Jinda said lightly.

"Huaxian? How far is it from Chang'an? Li Shen asked.

"Less than 100 kilometers is just enough to cast and throw stones, if you bring these siege equipment, you can arrive in less than two days, and just enter Huaxian County can also let the soldiers rest for a day or two." Niu Jinda replied.

Li Shen nodded and said, "That's it, and arrange for someone to investigate the situation around Chang'an City first." ”

"I'm going to arrange this." Qin Huaiyu said.

There is no news yet, Li Shen is also very anxious, even the dark night is still like this, the closer he gets to Chang'an City, the more anxious his heart becomes, if they have a case, he doesn't know if he can bear it.

Growing up so big, he has never experienced the life and death parting between relatives, Li Shen has imagined all kinds of scenes in his mind, but none of them are acceptable to him in his heart, the only hope is that those night guards at home can safely escape from Chang'an City with his family and find a place to hide.

The dark curtain fell, and Li Shen, who had been running for many days, got off his horse, put a mat on the ground, and fell into a deep sleep, and the mental fatigue was several times heavier than the physical fatigue.

Li Chongyi looked at Li Shen who fell asleep on the ground with a sad face, sighed, took the guard and handed over the sheet, covered his body, looked at Qin Huaiyu who came over, stood up, and said, "Brother Huaiyu, what do you say now?" ”

"What can I do, one step at a time, Chang'an City is now completely blocked, not even a fly can enter, the slightest news cannot be detected, and I have no choice." Qin Huaiyu said.
