After Li Xuanqing came out of the camp of the Hedong Army, he did not go straight to where Xu Tianxiang was, but rode the jade lion around the eastern city and suddenly accelerated the jade lion to the extreme, galloping northward, and only after half an hour did he see a huge military camp standing next to a nameless hill.

"Third child, you are here." Just as Li Xuanqing rode his horse towards the camp, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, and then torches suddenly appeared at the gate of the barracks in front, and it was Xu Tianxiang and his party.

Li Xuanqing dismounted when he heard the sound, walked over from the darkness, saw familiar figures, smiled slightly, didn't say much, and took everyone back to the camp.

"Third child, you're finally back, if you don't come again, I'll take someone to rob the camp." After everyone returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Hu Xiaosi said with palpitations: "The scout team reported that there are at least three waves of people ambushing outside the Hedong Army camp tonight, and it is estimated that they want to intercept you." ”

Li Xuanqing nodded and said, "I also noticed it after I left the camp, so I came here after making a big circle." With a sweep of his eyes, he suddenly found that Xu Tianxiang was sitting next to a scholar in his early thirties with three beards and a long beard, and he quickly stood up and bowed to him, "This must be Mr. Cen, Xuanqing is polite." ”

This scholar was Cen Tianshi, who was rescued by Hu Xiaosi from Chang'an City, at this time, he originally wanted to follow everyone to meet the controller of this army, but he didn't expect people to recognize him so quickly, so he got up and saluted when he saw Li Xuanqing talking.

"I heard Tianxiang say that Mr. came to our army to appease the people, collect the displaced people, and contributed a lot, and the people of the Xuanqing Dynasty are very thankful." Li Xuanqing's voice was clear when he saw Cen Tian, and his heart was also happy, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of this Cen Wenwen's descendant.

"In the troubled times, the people are the most suffering." Cen Tianshi also sighed, and then asked: "Although Tianshi helped General Xu pacify the people, he had doubts in his heart, I don't know if the general can tell me?" ”

Li Xuanqing smiled slightly, signaled Xu Tianxiang and the others to be calm, nodded, and said, "Sir, please say, Xuanqing knows everything, and he has nothing to say." ”

Cen Tianshi didn't care about the reaction of others, and said to himself: "Chang'an City is broken, and the Shence Army is in trouble, harming the people, but fortunately the general stopped it, so it was spared." I am also very impressed by the general's righteous deeds of protecting the people rather than offending the superiors. After a pause, the conversation changed, "In the past few days, General Xu has gathered more than 20,000 people one after another, all of them are concentrated in the barracks, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

This sentence was already very explicit, and there was a strong suspicion in the tone, which made everyone present change color, but Li Xuanqing still had a breezy expression on his face, and even nodded and smiled: "Mr. praise, Xuanqing should not be praised by Mr., as a soldier, he should protect the people and protect the common people, how can he bring disaster to the world?" ”

"Born in troubled times, as a soldier, he should take the world as his own responsibility, and do not hide it from Mr. Xuanqing this time to collect the displaced people is to take them to Fengzhou, to the Hetao, to the border of the army, to accumulate strength, the north refuses to return to the Huhu in the desert grassland, and the south is divided into the hinterland of the Central Plains, ten years of livelihood, ten years of cultivation, raising the vitality of China, and invigorating the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties." At this moment, Li Xuanqing is completely integrated into this era, his eyes are full of war intent, and Chen Yu and Xu Tianxiang are also hearing Li Xuanqing confide in him for the first time, especially the sentence "Raising the vitality of China and invigorating the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties" made everyone present dizzy.

"Is this the general's ambition?" Cen Tianshi didn't expect that the young man in front of him was hiding such a huge ambition, and he didn't know what to say for a while, just muttered to himself in a daze.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations" Li Xuanqing's words hit Cen Tianshi's ears like Huang Zhong Dalu, so that this Zhongliang, who was aspiring to inherit the ancestors' wishes but ran into walls everywhere, suddenly brightened his eyes, like a drowning man grabbing the last rope, I saw that he suddenly grabbed Li Xuanqing's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Is the general's words true?" ”

Li Xuanqing can naturally understand Cen Tianshi's psychology at this moment, and he also knows how aggrieved people who are interested in the world in this era are, the reality is helpless, their ideals and beliefs cannot be displayed, their families and countries are broken, and the number of people in Shenzhou is dying, how many people are running all their lives just to complete Li Xuanqing's two sentences? So he held Cen Tianshi's hand tightly, and his face was never more solemn, "With my life's work and hard work, I will live up to the world and the common people. ”

Looking at Li Xuanqing's solemn eyes, Cen Tianshi's face was red, and he suddenly fell to the ground, "Tianshi has heard the general's ambition today, the blessing of the people, and the luck of China, may God protect the general and get what he wants." The Lord of Heaven will live and die together. Cen Tianshi visited the lord. ”

"I'll wait to see my lord." Li Xuanqing was taken aback by Cen Tian's sudden reaction, but at this time, Chen Yu and the others knelt down together and bowed to worship.

"Get up quickly, my lord, alas, get up first." Li Xuanqing's resentment against the word "lord" is not ordinary, but he can't say it at the moment, especially Cen Tianshi, who was inadvertently brought into a state of enchantment, if he refuses this guy, he may not know what to do, so he can only accept it with numbness.

"My lord, now that the letter of appointment has arrived, we might as well make plans as soon as possible and leave for Fengzhou as soon as possible. I have acquaintances in both Jinyang and Yizhou, and I can ask them to bring people to carry supplies to support Fengzhou when the time comes. Once Cen Tianshi entered the state, his head turned quickly, and he immediately suggested to Li Xuanqing.

"My lord, our army has 6,500 regular troops and 15,000 soldiers. All the previous preparations have been completed, and all the materials in the dark warehouse have been rushed out. A total of 20,000 stone of grain, 40,000 sets of military uniforms, enough weapons to arm 20,000 people, 500,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, and other treasures were not counted. Xu Tianxiang saw Li Xuanqing's gaze sweeping towards him, and hurriedly bowed back.

"Very good, the army set off ten days later, took advantage of Hedong, went north from Bingzhou, and went to Fengzhou with the help of Li Cunxiao. I have reached an agreement with Li Cunxiao that he will provide the necessary assistance in Hedong so that our army with the people will not be coveted. Li Xuanqing pondered for a long time and made a decision, "The scout team should send sentry agents in advance to do a good job of leading the army." Mr. Cen should also arrange for the people to follow the army and do a good job of responding to the situation. ”

"Xu Tianxiang is in charge of all the preparations. The reorganization of the army will be carried out after Toyosu. After Li Xuanqing finished these instructions, he said to Xu Tianxiang: "The army is on its journey, no matter how big or small, especially there are more than 20,000 people who help the old and the young, the safety work must be done in place, and everyone here must do their best." Li Xuanqing's eyes looked to the northeast, "I believe that the Hetao is not the end, but our new starting point." ”

With Li Xuanqing's order, the entire military camp began to get busy, military uniforms were distributed to soldiers and people, all kinds of military orders began to be conveyed rapidly, and the army began to prepare for departure overnight. Seeing Xu Tianxiang directing everyone to start preparing, Li Xuanqing nodded with satisfaction, handed over the stage to him, and began to visit the people, ask about the suffering, understand the people's livelihood, and gradually have a more understanding of this era, and began another plan in his heart.

Three or four days of this busy period passed. Li Xuanqing smiled as he watched his military camp begin to return to normal, but saw Cen Tianshi and Hu Xiaosi coming towards him.

"Sir, it's another sleepless night, it's still a few days before departure, let's go and rest." Li Xuanqing said with concern, at present, he is the only one who can engage in civil affairs on his side, and if he is tired, he will not be able to draw it.

"It's okay, didn't the lord also stay awake all night. I came here and there was something to discuss with the lord, and I happened to run into General Hu. Cen Tianshi obviously hadn't recovered from that excitement yet, and his tone was excited, as if he had eaten a fairy peach.

Li Xuanqing nodded, and took the two of them back to the big tent, just as Xu Tianxiang was also busy, after the four of them sat down, they only heard Hu Xiaosi say: "Lord Qi, according to the news from Chang'an City, His Majesty the Emperor has returned to Chang'an, and today held a court meeting in the New Year's Hall to reward the ministers." ”

Several people looked at each other and nodded, obviously the news was not unexpected. Emperor Xizong was kicked out of Chang'an by Zhu Mei for so long, and when he came back, he naturally wanted to make a big vassal.

"The reward has already been decided." Xu Tianxiang said with a smile: "I don't know how many officials our Han Dashuai will have this time." "To tell the truth, Li Xuanqing was appointed as the inspector of Fengzhou, and his own people knew that this was what Li Xuanqing had always wanted to plan, but those who didn't know thought that this was a deliberate banishment, which was equivalent to an abandoned son. Not to mention that there was a Tiande army in Fengzhou, which was far away from the Central Plains, the population was withering, and it was too close to the Uighurs, so it was simply a fire pit. So in the past few days, the envoys of the river festival and the Fengxiang festival have come to several groups of people, and each time they bring a lot of gifts, shhhhh

According to the news from within the Shence Army, Han Zun, Li Changfu and Wang Chongrong were all crowned dukes, and the title of Tongping Zhangshi was added, Li Keyong was named King of Jin, and other generals who participated in the crusade against Zhu Mei were rewarded. By the way, I heard that Yang Fugong also specifically mentioned the lord and wanted to make the lord the envoy of the Bizhou Festival, but he seemed to be blocked by Li Changfu. ”

"This dead eunuch is so ruthless, this is to cut off the connection between the lord and Li Changfu." Xu Tianxiang slapped his thigh and scolded. This Bizhou and Fengxiang are located in the north and south lines of the Western Regions in front of Chang'an, if he succeeds, won't it become a thorn in Li Changfu's side.

Cen Tianshi smiled slightly and said, "General Xu doesn't have to be angry, you see that the lord is calm and relaxed, how can he be swayed by a eunuch?" It's just that this Li Keyong was named the king of Jin, and I'm afraid there is a lot of article in it. ”

Li Xuanqing waved his hand and asked the soldiers to bring in the food, and several people chatted while eating.

"Let him blow in the wind and rain, and I will not move. We have Han Dashuai's letter of appointment in our hands, as long as we subdue the Tiande Army as quickly as possible, Fengzhou will be in our hands, no matter how they reward them, it has nothing to do with us. Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "Li Ke's Jin King Bacheng Yang Fugong is calculating him, trying to instigate him to suppress Wang Chongrong and Zhu Quanzhong, and by the way, use a throne to tease the world's feudal towns to attack Li Ke in groups." It seems that Li Keyong is having a hard time. ”

Xu Tianxiang didn't understand this sentence a little, and was about to ask a question, Cen Tianshi explained with a smile: "It won't take long for Li Ke to bring troops to Chang'an to spread all over the world." Do you think that when the time comes, will the people of the world think that he, the king of Jin, was obtained by soldiers? When the time comes, will the other knots make jealousy and thus oppose Li Ke? Similarly, after Li Ke used the title of king, it will stimulate this person's ambition, this person is stubborn and self-willed, and he will definitely attack from all sides, and the Central Plains War is inevitable. Who else will care about him Yang Fugong at that time? ”

Li Xuanqing couldn't help but bow his head, Cen Tianshi really had the demeanor of his ancestors, analyzing the situation in the world and talking eloquently, and judging from the historical records of later generations, almost everything he said was true.

Seeing Li Xuanqing nodding silently, Cen Tianshi was also relieved, what he said just now was not said to Li Xuanqing, so after seeing Li Xuanqing nodding silently, he also nodded, focusing on the world and having great ambitions, so that it was possible.

"It's good for you to follow the things behind Xiao Si yourself. The scout team should be ready to expand, and the scout team in the future is not just as simple as reconnaissance intelligence, and I will personally plan for you when I arrive in Toyosu. Li Xuanqing couldn't help but smile when he saw Hu Xiaosi's appearance, this guy is really good at intelligence, and he can install people in the Shence Army in such a short period of time.

"My lord, I want to ask, have you thought about our banner?" Cen Tianshi saw Li Xuanqing finish explaining Hu Xiaosi, put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and replied.

Li Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "Before arriving in Fengzhou, we were still under the banner of the Lingwu Army, at least on the surface, we were ordered to go to Fengzhou. As for the future-" After groaning slightly, he suddenly raised his head, "We are ending the troubled times and rebuilding the Tang Dynasty, I think we can call it the Tiance Army." ”

"Tiance Army, good. Back then, Emperor Taizong was called the general of Tiance, and now there is another Tiance army. I think it's a good name. After Cen Tianshi muttered to himself a few times, he laughed and said, "I have the courage of Taizong back then." Could it be that the lord is also a descendant of the royal family? ”

Li Xuanqing and Xu Tianxiang Hu Xiaosi glanced at each other, laughed, and ignored Cen Tianshi's questioning eyes, "If it's fake-"
