Liu Xi went and returned, and threw himself into the Huns, the long sword in his hand and the dragon went out to sea, and under the shadow of the Dao sword, the blood dripped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this scene, Guo Wei, who was fighting with the Huns, was in a hurry, and after kicking the opponent away, he was about to bring people forward again to escort Liu Xi out of the city.

"That's it, since the adult doesn't want to leave, I'll wait as a subordinate, let him go, there are more city guarding equipment now, and there won't be much danger in Yangqu City for a while."

Xiong Gang grabbed Guo Wei violently, gasped and hummed, and pointed to Liu Xi's side without leaving Qu Lang an inch, "The adults are absolutely very human, and there are even more Qu brothers, so there should be no worries about their lives for the time being." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Gang turned sideways, pulled the long knife in his hand horizontally, and cut the neck of the Huns who came by wielding the knife.

After killing the Huns, Xiong Gang took a few breaths, looked at Liu Xi, who was fighting with a sword among the Huns, and showed a deep look of respect in his tiger eyes, "If you can live, this life will follow the adult." ”

Hearing this, Guo Wei grinned, "This time, the thoughts of the subordinates coincide with the general. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, then took a deep breath, raised the weapon in their hands again, and killed each in one place.

It seems that he is very unwilling, until the sun moves westward, the Huns slowly retreated, and the city was full of corpses, and there were more devastation smashed by the boulders that fell by the catapult.

Xiong Gang's beard was covered with blood and minced meat, and he looked terrifying, and he no longer had the strength to ask, holding the long knife in his hand, and gasped for breath a few times, "They finally retreated." ”

"yes!"

Guo Wei seemed to have no strength anymore, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the burly figure was spread straight to the ground, lying between the bloody corpses, and soon the snoring sounded came.

Shaking his head and smiling, Xiong Gang struggled to get up, and had to repair the city walls before the Huns attacked the city next time.

But the bones of his body were so soft that he didn't listen to him, and just as he was about to stand up, he fell to the ground, and his eyelids were heavy like a mountain.

"General Xiong, you can take a break, and leave the affairs of the city to me."

Vaguely, Xiong Gang heard Liu Xi's voice in his ears, and from the tighter and tighter eyes, he saw a thin figure, a little blurry, but it made him extremely reassured, and immediately fell asleep in a trance.

On the side, Qu Lang put the knife in Xiong Gang's hand elsewhere, afraid that he would turn over and accidentally hurt himself, after doing this, Qu Lang stepped forward and said softly with Liu Xi, "Childe, you can also rest and rest, for a while, the Huns are afraid that they will not attack the city again, and the matter of repairing and arming the defense will be handled by the subordinates." ”

"Thanks to you today."

Liu Xi said softly and looked at the bed crossbow standing at the head of the city, "If there were no such tools, at this moment, this Yangqu City would be broken." You haven't closed your eyes for a few days, so you'd better go to sleep, and I'll be in charge of the city's affairs. ”

After that, without waiting for Qu Lang to react, Liu Xi left alone, and the latter didn't want to say more, found a slightly clean place, hugged his sword around his arms, leaned on the masonry of the city wall and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Walking in the blood water, Liu Xi's white cloth brocade shoes have been dyed red, and the soles of his feet are sticky, but he has long been used to this feeling.

Most of the soldiers fell to the ground and fell asleep deeply, their physique was as exhausted as Xiong Gang and Guo Wei were exhausted by a day's fighting, and it was not easy for these thin soldiers to survive.

Unable to bear to wake up the sleeping soldiers, Liu Xi cleaned up the battlefield himself, and when he saw him, the craftsmen who were repairing the catapult and bed crossbow came over one after another, repairing the city wall with Liu Xi, and cleaning up the corpses.

Pushing the Huns down from the city, his own brothers carefully sorted out their messy clothes and armor, lightly hugged the city, and placed them alive.

The north wind blows people cold, and unconsciously, the sky and the earth are dark, and in the distance, in the camp of the Huns, there are sparks.

Standing at the head of the city with his hands in his hands, Liu Xi seemed to blend in with the dark night, but his brows furrowed slightly as usual.

Xiong Gang and the others had already woken up, but they didn't dare to disturb Liu Xi, they performed their duties, and continued to be busy arranging defenses to prevent the Huns from attacking in the dark night.

"Alas......"

A white mist was quite obvious in the night, Liu Xi sighed lowly, he didn't remember how much he sighed these days, but only in this way could he make his stuffy heart a little more comfortable.

Suddenly, Liu Xi looked back at the southeast, the sky covered by dark clouds, and there was no trace of starlight.

Following Liu Xi's gaze, thousands of miles away, Jialing City was brightly lit, and its prosperity was better than daylight.

There was no curfew, and even when entering Shen, the city gate was still not closed, and from time to time there were passers-by.

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the cold wind, and the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly poked their heads out, and in a moment, they saw a horse galloping, the horse was a blue-maned white flower foot, and the horseman on his back was a black armor and red cloak.

It was almost time to reach the gates, but the riders were still hurrying across their horses, showing no signs of stopping.

It was necessary to break through the city gate, and two young soldiers who reacted quickly were about to step forward with spears and stop them.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one is allowed to be presumptuous.

"Hugh is messing around!"

The captain on duty pounced forward and pulled the two men aside, and the galloping black horse swept through where they had stood before, with a cold wind.

"My lord, this is ......"

The two guards of the city were stunned, and could not help but look at the captain on duty, but the latter was staring in the direction of the departing horse, his eyes were confused, as if he was thinking about something a long time ago.

"Eighteen years ago, the old man was still a pawn, and he saw Xuanque come to Beijing, and at that time, it was the Western Han Dynasty who raised troops to commit ......"

After half the incense was burned, there was a loud noise in the Chaohua Palace, which was extremely dull, but it was the table that rolled down from the main hall, and Zhang Lishi, who was standing on the side, was so shocked that he lowered his head and did not dare to look up.

The sound of heavy panting echoed in the silent hall, like the flickering lights, which made Zhang Lishi feel even more like a man's back.

"Wolf ambition! These barbarians dare to hit my Datang's attention! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lishi couldn't help but jump in shock, several cities in the north were suffering, at this time, the Huns raised troops, and the situation was naturally not optimistic.

It's just that he dares to talk more about national affairs, even if there is more panic, Zhang Lishi still stands there with his head bowed, and he doesn't dare to make the slightest sound.

"Give me the general Tanglin King, Fan Zheng, Guo Yi and a few people from Shangshu Province to find it."

After a long time, Emperor Tang said in a deep voice, Zhang Lishi immediately received his order, and trotted to walk outside the hall.

"Call Zhan Fu too!"

Behind him, Emperor Tang opened his mouth again, and when he heard this, Zhang Lishi hurriedly stopped his figure, turned around and saluted, and hurriedly walked out of the hall after answering yes.

Half an hour later, a speeding carriage rode the wind and snow to the outside of the imperial city, and before the carriage could stop, he saw a figure falling, perhaps because he was ill, this person almost fell to the ground without standing firmly, and the driver hurriedly jumped out of the car and supported him.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

A violent cough followed.

At this time, several soft sedan chairs came from far and near, and later, I saw several people getting off the sedan chair, and the people who came were fat and thin, but all of them were anxious.

"I've seen the prince."

Several people were led by Prime Minister Fan Zheng, and first made a salute to the king of Tangling, who was still coughing, under the thick fox fur, his thin body was constantly trembling, and he really had no time to speak, so he only shook his hand, indicating that everyone did not need to be polite.

After a while, the King of Tanglin calmed down, rubbed his hot face and said softly, "My lords, I think I know the reason why the Holy Lord summoned me to enter the palace late at night, but I didn't expect that the New Year was approaching, but it became an eventful time. ”

On the side, Fan Zheng sighed, his gray eyebrows and beards were twisted into a ball, for ten years, although Datang did not swallow thousands of miles and swept the Sihe, but also did not have a hundred industries to waste and be humiliated by other countries.

And now that there is a disaster in the north, the Huns are even more raising troops to attack, I am afraid that the situation is very bad.

Besides, on the other side of the river, there is still a Western Han Dynasty eyeing over.

"Lord, do you know where the Huns are now?"

Deputy Prime Minister Guo Yi asked in a deep voice, and the original fat face, who had always been unfazed, also had a dignified look on his face.

After all, the Huns are good at attacking, and this time they came quietly and waved their troops, and it is very likely that they have conquered several cities.

Guo Yi asked, and the rest of the people all looked at the king of Dongling, this is what they are most concerned about at the moment, if the Huns have really driven straight down, it must be a catastrophe for the entire Li Tang.

"Ahem...... This prince doesn't know either...... Ahem......"

King Tanglin shook his head, coughed lightly, and strode towards the imperial city, "I'll go into the palace quickly, don't let the saint wait in a hurry." ”

The group no longer stayed, and walked quickly between the eaves and attics, and stayed in front of the Chaohua Palace, Fan Zheng and the others were already out of breath and tired, on the other hand, although the king of Tanglin was flushed, but it seemed that he rarely heard the sound of coughing during the rapid journey, and now he was outside the palace, but he coughed sharply.

Maybe I was too worried, so I forgot that my body and bones had been suffering from illness for a long time.

Outside the Chaohua Palace, Zhang Lishi kept pacing back and forth, feeling awkward no matter how he held the floating dust in his hand, and from time to time he poked his head out to look at the white marble steps.

Seeing the Tanglin King and others walking up the stairs, Zhang Lishi greeted him in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly saluted the Dongling King, and then hurriedly said, "Ouch, the prince, my lords, you are finally here, the emperor is annoyed." ”

"It's snowing outside, and the road is a little slippery, so it's late."

The king of Tanglin said softly, and then he didn't say much, and walked straight to the palace, followed by Fan Zheng, Guo Yi and the six Shangshu behind him.

As soon as he stepped into the Chaohua Palace, King Tanglin saw that the dragon pattern case that rolled down in the hall was shattered and scattered, and subconsciously, his brows furrowed.

Hurriedly stepped forward, the king of Tanglin and others bent over and saluted, the Tang Emperor standing on the high hall had a gloomy face, the wide sleeves flicked over, and the golden dragon embroidered on the cuffs took off.

"Excuse me, the Huns are sick and 200,000 are coming, do you Aiqing have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

For some reason, the Tang Emperor was surprisingly calm, and this question was similar to what the court encountered in the past.

But it was this sentence that made King Tanglin cough again, and Fan Zheng and the others all changed their complexions.

The 200,000-strong Xiongnu army, brave and good at fighting, was enough to deal a fatal blow to Li Tang.

"Holy Lord, where is the Huns at this moment!"

Fan Zheng asked what the ministers were concerned about without thinking, and his words fell, and the king of Dongling, who was coughing, also stopped his voice and looked at Emperor Tang.

"They're still outside Yangqu City. At least when Xuanque sent the news, they hadn't entered Yangqu City yet. ”

What the!

Hearing this, several court officials in the palace who had been in and out of the sea for many years were all shocked, even if Xuanque could travel thousands of miles a day, but it would take several days to bring the news back to Jialing from the northern frontier.

And the 200,000 army of the Huns was still outside Yangqu City for a few days, Li Tang did not lose a city or a pool, which general in the north has such amazing skills?

Thinking about breaking his head, Fan Zheng couldn't think of anyone in the north who had this ability, although the Hengchong Brigade was brave and good at fighting, but Sima Chao was more than calm but not wise and brave, and he would definitely not confront the 200,000 Huns for a few days.

For a while, several important ministers looked back at the military department Shangshu, Wang Xing, if there is such a powerful person, the military department Shangshu will naturally only know.

But Wang Xing was also at a loss.

"Holy Lord, who in my court is so heroic?"

When Fan Zheng and the others didn't have a thought to break their heads, the Tanglin King frowned and asked, and the Tang Emperor seemed to be waiting for him to speak, and after the Tanglin King asked, he no longer continued to play dumb riddles, and replied directly, "Liu Xi." ”

Hearing this name, the corners of King Tanglin's mouth curled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "This kid ......"

Fan Zheng bowed his head slightly, and said thoughtfully, "It turned out to be the champion of Jinke, his talented old ministers have already heard of it, but he never thought that he was both civil and military, which is really a rare talent." ”

"To be able to resist the 200,000 troops of the Huns, such a young man is really amazing."

Guo Yi and others were also amazed and echoed.

"Humph!"

Tang Huang snorted coldly, and then sat on the dragon chair with a big move, "Liu Xi is good, knowing that the Hengchong Brigade has been wiped out, isolated and helpless, he still risked his life to resist the enemy outside the city, my Tang Dynasty can have such a young Ying'er, how can I worry that the country will not be able to prosper!" ”

The Rampage Brigade has been wiped out!

Although the shock brought by this news is compared with Liu Xi's death in defending Yangqu, but the Tang Emperor said that the Hengchong Brigade was all killed before rejecting the enemy, it seems that something terrible happened in the north, and he has been in the court for many years, where can Fan Zheng and others not hear it.

In this way, it is more and more evident that this young champion has quite a lot of means.

"Holy Lord, today's plan still needs to send troops to aid Yangqu City as soon as possible."

The king of Tanglin took the lead in opening his mouth, and then Fan Zheng and the others pulled their thoughts back, and they all said, "The prince said very much, the saint, the Huns are good at attacking, and this time it is a big army attacking, and it must be a plan to drive straight into and seize grain and grass from the city of my Tang Dynasty." Now that it is blocked outside Yangqu City, there is not much grain and grass left. ”

"What Lord Fan said is that Yangqu City will not be able to be attacked for a long time, and once the grain and grass are exhausted, the military spirit of the Huns will be dispersed. When the time comes, it will be easy for my Li Tang army to defeat them. ”

Wang Xing, the secretary of the military department, answered.

Emperor Tang waved his hand to stop the sound, and swept his cold eyes over everyone in the hall, "Is there a good plan?" ”

Yue stepped forward, and the king of Tanglin bent down to salute, "Shengshang, Yecheng and Xiapi have been affected by disasters, and I am afraid that they have been flawless since ancient times." The younger brother thought that he should send Tongguan, Qianzhou, Yundu and the four cities of Hanzhou to each send 50,000 soldiers and horses to support Yangqu City. In addition, it is necessary to increase troops in Dongzhou City and Dacheng to strengthen vigilance, so as not to let Liu Han have a chance. ”

"The prince is right, Liu Han is ambitious, and he has to guard against it, and the saint needs to send a decree to the king of Zhenxi to make him take more precautions. In addition, several percent of the food was transferred from the surrounding area to Yangqu City, where there was a lack of food after the disaster. Without food, the people are afraid of uneasiness. ”

Zhang Yushu, the head of the household department, pondered and followed Guo Yi's words, "The household department has transferred a batch of grain a few days ago and plans to transfer it to the north, and the minister is planning to report this matter to the Holy Lord tomorrow morning. Now that there is a war, I will have some herbs prepared overnight in case of the plague. ”

Emperor Tang bowed slightly, "Let's do this for the time being, this matter must not be leaked out." ”

His Royal Highness and the ministers saluted together, "The ministers will receive the order." ”
