He didn't care about changing his clothes, so he followed behind the guard who reported the news, walked through the hall and went straight to the wing room where Li Yanzhao temporarily lived. His old body moved rapidly, almost trotting all the way, and the guard who was forcing the way in front of him also scurried all the way to the wing. The guards gently pushed the chamber open. Taishou couldn't wait, and stepped in.

Li Yanzhao was lying on the couch, and when he heard the door, he turned his head to look at the door. Taishou entered the chamber tremblingly, but there was a look of excitement on his face that could not be concealed.

Li Yanzhao struggled to sit up, but this action affected the wounds on his abdomen and shoulder, and he bared his teeth in pain. Seeing this, Taishou hurriedly stepped forward, pressed Li Yanzhao, who wanted to struggle to get up, and said warmly: "Yanzhao doesn't have to be polite, lie down and recuperate." ”

Li Yanzhao had tears in his eyes and muttered: "The subordinates have failed to fulfill their responsibilities, please punish the king!" ”

When Tai Shou heard this, his face was shocked. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Yan Zhao led his troops to fight to the death, and he was seriously injured and almost died in the battle, why did he fail to fulfill his responsibilities?" And it's good to live and recuperate, don't blame yourself. ”

Li Yanzhao's mood calmed down a little, and then he asked, "How is the battle ahead?" Is Jincheng still there? ”

"Zhang Fujun and the soldiers of the army are dead, the north and south of Jincheng are now in the hands of our army. The state governor sent Chen Zhen Chen to collect the cavalry of the army, and has been transferred to Jinxing County, entered Longxi, and sent back the military report that is plotting against the Qiang tribe in Longxi, and the results are remarkable. So far, tens of thousands of people have gathered! ”

"I'm a cavalryman, but do you follow this?" Li Yanzhao continued to ask.

"The person who wrote the military newspaper is none other than Liu Bairen, the commander of Yanzhao." When Tai Shou heard this, he replied.

Li Yanzhao struggled again, ignoring the pain caused by the wound on his body. Seeing this, Taishou was about to step forward to stop him, but Li Yanzhao was already lying on the couch and said in a trembling voice: "When Chen Hujun goes, he must be recruiting people from Diqiang to attack the Zhao army's heavy grain and grass. Yan Zhao knelt down and asked the government to send someone to deliver the message, and asked Chen Hujun to stop at the beginning, and don't go deeper! ”

When Tai Shou heard this, he hurriedly responded: "What Yan Zhao said, I will send an envoy tomorrow to pass it on to Chen Hujun." ”

Li Yanzhao lowered his head and said: "This time, the life and death of our state are all tied to the front line of Jincheng. Decades of hard fighting, many dead. I asked the prince to treat the relatives of the fallen soldiers in order to gather people's hearts. ”

Tai Shou nodded yes when he heard this, and then said Li Yanzhao and said: "Yanzhao must not be too hardworking. In this battle, you have done your best, and we are all in our eyes. Now on the front line of Jincheng, the thieves are in decline. Although there are still tens of thousands of troops, they are already frightened. At present, they have been holding each other for several days, and they do not dare to attack again. ”

"The government still needs to guard against the increase of the thieves. Liu Yao's department still has more than 100,000 people, and although the vanguard has gained momentum, the main force has not been damaged. If we increase our troops to Jincheng, our army will be difficult to defend. ”

Taishou nodded and said: "Yan Zhao is good at recuperating from his injuries, and I will discuss this kind of military affairs with the generals." ”

Li Yanzhao, who was lying on the couch, watched Taishou walk out of the room he was in, and then lay back on the couch and thought about it carefully.

Now that the Jincheng front line is in a stalemate, all he is worried about is whether Liu Yao will increase his troops. If the troops are increased, it will be difficult to defend the golden city. Retreating to Guangwu, the troops are also stretched. Hearing that Taishou said that the situation was clear, although Chen Zhen served as the protector, recruited cavalry soldiers from various armies, and went to raise and distribute the Qiang people to attack the Zhao army's grain and grass, but if the Jincheng line could not support it, the situation was bound to remain precarious.

Li Yanzhao was lying on the couch, fighting hard in the camp this time, and he also knew that the damage was very heavy. However, he himself fought hard with the intention of dying, but in the end, he survived and survived, which really surprised him. However, after waking up, he was faced with the increasingly severe situation at the moment, but he couldn't help but feel that it was better to die on the spot.

If Liu Yao increased his troops in Jincheng, he would inevitably not be able to go to the battlefield again, and he could only learn from the military reports that the soldiers on the front line were dying and dying one by one. This kind of fact is unacceptable to him. In this war, which is related to the fate of countless people, he has become a spectator. This made him feel a little more powerless.

Li Yanzhao's mood began to become manic, he was lying on the couch, waving his hands, as if he was still fighting with people. However, between the waves of his hands, he touched an object next to the pillow, and he was very surprised, so he hurriedly put the object in his hand and rubbed it carefully. It's not something else, but it's Qiao'er's sheep's head gold bead...... For a while, Li Yanzhao suddenly calmed down, he held the sheep's head gold bead, feeling the temperature from his family.

The next morning, when he heard that Li Yanzhao woke up, Liu Zhongkang took Liu Jiwen and Ni Congyun again, and the three of them came to visit. Seeing that Li Yanzhao has not recovered now, his life is safe. Immediately they all felt rejoicing. Qiao'er originally wanted to change the medicine for Li Yanzhao herself. was stopped by Li Yanzhao, and his words were inconvenient. In the end, Liu Jiwen was asked to change the medicine for himself. Several wounds, though still red and swollen, were scabbed over and looked like they were about to get better.

Liu Zhongkang was relieved to see that Li Yanzhao was no longer in trouble, and proposed to send Li Yanzhao home, and then went to meet Taishou. Speaking of many days of harassment, now that Li Yanzhao's condition has improved, please ask the government for permission to carry him home to take care of him. Xin Taishou did not force him to stay, so he agreed to Liu Zhongkang's invitation. So Liu Jiwen went out to the post house to rent a carriage, asked a few guards to help, and used wooden planks to lift Li Yanzhao into the carriage, and the group galloped towards their home in the north of the city.

Halfway through the carriage, Li Yanzhao remembered something and asked Liu Zhongkang, who was in the carriage with him: "Erzhuang was killed in battle before, how is his mother now?" ”

When Liu Zhongkang heard this, his expression was gloomy and said: "The county government has sent people to express condolences before, and promised to raise his mother Rong. It's just that she couldn't accept the reality of her son's sudden death, and she washed her face with tears all day long. We can't bear it, so we can only help her do some work, take care of the fields. Alas, the white-haired man sends the black-haired man...... She didn't even see the last side of Erzhuang. The people in the county government said that Niu Erzhuang is now buried on the mountain behind the Martyrs' Shrine. Please don't read it. Yanzhao, do you know what the situation was like when Erzhuang died in battle? ”

Li Yanzhao remembered Niu Erzhuang's last words before he died, and he was already so sad that he couldn't help himself. Two lines of tears rolled down his face, and he said, "Blame me, blame me...... Erzhuang died to protect me, I ...... I'm ashamed of my mother...... Erzhuang was stopped by the enemy general and broken, and I still can't sleep at night when I think of the tragic scene of that day......"

Liu Zhongkang also fell silent when he heard this, and Qiao'er had sadness on his face. Along the way, there were no words.

When the carriage arrived, Liu Jiwu thanked the coachman, and then got off from the front, assisted Liu Zhongkang and Qiao'er, and carried the seriously injured Li Yanzhao out of the car and walked towards the courtyard. Qiao'er pushed open the courtyard door, and with the sound of squeaking, the courtyard door opened, and at the door of the west chamber where Niu Erzhuang's family lived, a small head poked out, looking at the few people who walked into the courtyard, as well as Li Yanzhao, who was carried in by the door panel.

At the door of the west wing, a woman appeared immediately, her eyes red and swollen, looking at the people who entered the courtyard. Li Yanzhao, who was lying on the door panel, saw her, struggled to get up, and bowed with tears in his eyes.

Seeing Li Yanzhao's posture, the cow mother couldn't help but feel sad again, sitting at the door of the west wing, crying: "Son, ......"

Li Yanzhao felt uncomfortable, and asked Liu Jiwu and Liu Zhongkang to put down the door panel, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the cow mother with tears......
