"The little lady came to Guzang this time, but why didn't she see some subordinates accompanying her?" For Su Wanyun riding alone, Li Yanzhi felt an indescribable surprise in his heart. After all, the rest of the nobles in the team are all supported by the soldiers of their respective families, and Su Xiaoniang is weak, so she seems incompatible with those nobles.

"My cousin has incorporated all the family parts into the Guangwu Army. This time, there are only a few old servants and entourage......" Su Xiaoniang recounted calmly, as if she had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

"I heard my cousin say that now the soldiers of Lingju County are very different from before. When I saw it today, it was true. Li Sima led the troops well, and the concubine had to be deeply admired. ”

Li Yanzhi glanced back at his subordinates who were winding around the mountain on the dangerous road with a slope that was not too steep, turned his head and smiled slightly: "These soldiers are willing to work weekdays, and they are all loyal and brave people, and they admire the deeds of Tongze who died in battle, so there is such a great change, and the relationship with Li is really very small......

Li Yanzhi was modest, and the daughter of Song Pei who had stopped in front of Duanmen the day before yesterday flashed in his mind. So he asked Su Xiaoniang: "This time, everyone went to the assassination mansion to hang the envoy, but the little lady has seen the Song girl?" ”

Hearing that Li Yanzhi asked about the daughter of the Song family, Su Wanyun chuckled in her heart, but she still asked calmly: "Why did Sima suddenly ask this question?" There is one of the little ladies of the Song family, who is the daughter of the late Xiping Taishou Song Pei, and now the niece of Xiping Taishou Song Yi. Named Song Yue. ”

Li Yanzhi nodded: "Without him, just because I had stopped her outside the end gate, her guards beat Li's subordinates with horsewhips, and Li couldn't see it, so she shot and injured several of her guards......"

Su Wanyun listened to Li Yanzhi's explanation, and the big stone fell to the ground in her heart, but she giggled: "Since this is the case, Sima Ke should be more careful." Song Yue is rumored to live in a simple house, and no one knows her temperament. If she can't think about it for a while, she wants to rectify Sima, and Sima will only have a share of life......"

As he spoke, Su Wanyun's expression darkened: "It's a pity that my family also fled from Guanzhong, and the local Gaomen in Liangzhou don't look down on us...... Can't help Sima, Wanyun ...... in his heart It's so uncomfortable......"

Li Yanzhi saw that Su Wanyun looked like she was crying as she spoke, and suddenly felt that one head and two were big, and she secretly regretted that she shouldn't have talked about these things with her, but she comforted her perfunctorily, and then tightened the reins, slowed down the horse, and slipped out Cui Yangti, who was originally hiding in the back, and told him to take care of Su Wanyun.

Cui Yang was shocked when he saw Li Yanzhi slowing down his horse speed and sneaking himself out. But fortunately, he didn't settle the old accounts in the morning, and he was full of promises for this kind of command. Li Yanzhi looked at Cui Yang's ambiguous eyes, stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and stretched out his right foot to kick Cui Yang on the horse.

Cui Yang was suddenly attacked, and before he had time to be resentful, Li Yanzhi had already ridden away. When passing by Su Wanyun's side, Li Yanzhi whispered to her: "There are many inconveniences in the army, please take care of the little lady." With that, he continued to move his horses towards the front of the procession.

Due to the escort of the nobles' cars and driving on the same road, the marching speed of the more than 1,000 Lingju county soldiers was also like a turtle speed. When it came to sunset, it was only less than forty miles. Li Yanzhi found a gentle slope near the mountain and water as a temporary camp site for tonight. After the soldiers received the order, they went to the mountains and down the mountains with their tools to start cutting wood. The horsemen cut down a dozen trees and erected them in the camp as tethering stakes. After settling the horses, the tent was set up.

Everything is in order in the camp. Considering that if there were women in the army, there would be many inconveniences during the period, so Li Yanzhi ordered the foot soldiers to set up a small camp in the center of the camp for the nobles to live temporarily. There were also a few tents out of the tents brought by the footmen. Tonight, it is destined that many more soldiers will go to squeeze with the robes.

Now in the field, in addition to a small group of sentry horses, Li Yanzhi asked the soldiers to cut down wood and build a village. The work of Lizhai lasted from sunset to the end of the Shen hour. A camp had risen from the gentle slope in front of them. Su Wanyun was amazed.

The nobles entered the inner camp one after another under the protection of the soldiers of the tribe. Li Yanzhi also assigned Liu Jiwu to take more than 30 of his most trusted ironclad foot soldiers, wearing helmets and armor, holding long knives, to guard the inner camp with the soldiers of the Qu family, and issued a strict order in the army, no one is allowed to enter the inner camp without reason to disturb the nobles, otherwise military law will be engaged.

After the soldiers had set up the camp, they began to bury pots and cook outside the camp. Under the instruction of Li Yanzhi, the Huotou army opened a small stove for the nobles, and Li Yanzhi personally led Cao Jian, who was temporarily appointed as the military fake Sima, to lead more than ten horsemen to the mountains and forests outside the camp and shot some wild game such as hares and pheasants. Take it back to the camp and let the firehead army cook a sumptuous meal for the nobles.

After the meal, Li Yanzhi arranged the sentry list of the guards on duty, and only a few key points in the camp were left to set up torches for lighting, and the rest of the torches were extinguished, and the soldiers returned to the camp to rest. Only the guards on duty were left to return to their respective positions and perform their duties. Although Li Yanzhi had been running around for a day, he had no intention of being troubled, so he climbed the camp wall alone, sat down and looked at the torches in the camp in a daze.

A new political landscape has now taken shape in the state. Zhang Jun obviously wanted to use the strength of his relatives to contain the state middle and high gates. The Xin family is the wife of Zhang Liang and a local high-ranking family. Since Zhang Liang took office as the pastor of Liangzhou, it has been operating for more than 20 years, and its layout is not deeply rooted after four masters. Not to mention that Zhang Jun is now interested in supporting, and the Xin family has made a lot of money and goods in the past two years, and there are many strong troops in other towns, so it is inevitable to sit on the big side.

Zhang Jun also saw this, but he was still young, and although he had seen his old scheming, his grasp of things was still limited. Although he believed in the Xin family, he appointed the Xin family's people. But he didn't dare to let the Xin family dominate. Therefore, he also took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the other high men in the state, and still granted them some important positions, hoping that they could gather together and fight against the Xin clan.

The more fierce the struggle between the vassals, the more stable the person in the high position can be, which is almost an eternal truth for thousands of years. However, in Li Yanzhi's view, in the current situation, this truth undoubtedly seems a bit nonsense. The north floor is swinging, and the two capitals are all in the hands of the Hu people. As a nominal vassal of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this kind of calculations and contradictions within Liangzhou will undoubtedly greatly involve the mobilization of manpower and material resources in the state. Under the crisis that may collapse at any time, the more fierce these high-ranking families who control a large amount of social resources fight, the more dangerous Liangzhou will be.

But things always have to follow their own rules. It is never diverted by the will of any hurried passer-by. Li Yanzhi felt that although he was currently standing at this crossroads of history, he could not talk about any substantive pry into the trajectory of history. The bloody battle in Jincheng in the eleventh year of Jianxing was soon forgotten by the middle and high gates of these states. The blood shed by the soldiers in front of them is also destined to be annihilated in the long river of history.

The peace agreement with Liu Zhao, Li Yanzhi couldn't tell whether it was a good move or a bad move. Although at that time, this move of the late Zhang Yuanjun liberated Liangzhou from the quagmire of protracted war. This undoubtedly made these high-ranking families in the state feel safe. Although Zhang Mao's original intention was to buy time for Liangzhou to develop and become stronger, these high-ranking clans who felt safe did not reflect on how Liangzhou should deal with such a large-scale military attack in the future. On the contrary, after feeling safe, they began to act as infighting as before.

Although Li Yanzhi is very tired of meaningless internal friction. However, these high-ranking families are addicted to this way and enjoy it. After all, after this kind of fighting, it is the actual interests of each family that are involved. When it comes to interests, who can be calm? Not all people can listen carefully to the advice of their subordinates and try to do it. Nowadays, a large number of guinea dogs in these high-ranking families are still focused on sharing cakes, but they have never thought of making cakes.

In this environment, Li Yanzhi also seeks to be alone. Nor does he require the high-ranking to suddenly take a short-term view, or to suddenly change from a distributor of vested interests to a producer. He only expects that the one-third of the acre of land he manages can be managed to the best. Protecting the people of the county he was responsible for and not discrediting him with this duty, he felt sincerely difficult and satisfied.

As if seeing his thoughts, Zhang Jun used him to guard the end gate without any scruples, and successfully made him the target of almost all the high gates. During the more than a month of guarding Duanmen, Li Yanzhi didn't know how many nobles he had blocked. You can think about it with your toes. What kind of reputation is he having now among these high-ranking men in the state? Although he himself doesn't care much about this so-called false name, but at any time when someone sneaks out as an eagle dog, I'm afraid anyone will feel unhappy in their hearts.

While thinking wildly, Li Yanzhi suddenly saw that under the light of the torches around the inner camp, a lonely figure who walked out of the inner camp was at a loss.

He got up hastily, and without thinking about anything else, he walked down the camp wall in three steps and two steps, and then ran towards the figure. With the face reflected in the firelight at a distance getting closer and closer, Li Yanzhi saw that the woman was none other than Su Wanyun.

Li Yanzhi ran closer, and said with a little surprise: "Why doesn't the little lady sleep?" I have to hurry tomorrow, and if I don't keep my spirits up, I am afraid it will be difficult to support ......."

Su Wanyun shook her head, but there was a bit of helplessness in her tone: "I can't sleep." When I thought of my father's current situation, I felt that I couldn't sleep at night...... As if feeling speechless, Su Wanyun hurriedly closed her lips and stopped making a sound.

Li Yanzhi frowned slightly, but Little Lady Su stopped talking, which also made him feel puzzled.

After waiting for a long time, the two of them were still silent, and the air seemed to freeze suddenly. Li Yanzhi looked embarrassed, it was not that he lacked experience in being alone with women, but Su Wanyun's first impression on him was too good, and Li Yanzhi, who was ashamed of himself, couldn't have blasphemy thoughts no matter what.

After being silent for a long time, Li Yanzhi still opened his mouth and said slowly: "The little lady should go back to the camp." Women have a lot of inconveniences in the camp, and if they walk in the camp at night, they will inevitably be criticized by others......"

When Su Wanyun heard this, her whole body trembled. She looked at Li Yanzhi, was silent for a few more breaths, and then said, "Li Sima, the concubine has one more thing to ask." ”

Hearing this, Li Yanzhi lowered his head and said, "If the little lady has any questions, you might as well tell them." Li can help the little lady to take a closer look. But...... However, in the end, how to decide, it is still up to the little lady to decide......"

When Su Wanyun heard this, she smiled bleakly and said, "If someone comes to your family to propose marriage, and the children of the family who propose marriage are not the people you want. And this family, but your family can't afford to be guilty, may I ask Sima, can Sima teach me in this situation? ”

Li Yanzhi was startled when he heard this, and between the lightning and flint, his heart darkened, he thought about it for a while, and opened his mouth to say: "I don't know if Uncle Ling has agreed?" ”

Su Wanyun looked sad and nodded slowly: "Uncle Jia has agreed." This time I came to pay homage to the late envoy, and I also forced it myself. If you are at home, you don't know what to do in your heart when you face these things, and you are always suffering from such suffering...... Alas. Why didn't it be my ......family who stayed in Guanzhong to guard it at the beginning?"

When Li Yanzhi saw Su Wanyun's situation, he was also quite emotional in his heart. Thinking about it carefully, what Su Wanyun said was indeed a big problem for her. In this era, the daughter's family lives for a lifetime, and even if the heart belongs, it is often impossible to decide her own fate. Compared with the women of later generations, I don't know how much more melancholy and how much sighing.

Li Yanzhi frowned, but he was thinking deeply in his heart, trying to come up with one or two for Su Wanyun that could get her out of the current predicament. But after thinking about it, I couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while.

It is obviously inappropriate to refuse to marry, and Su Xuan must not allow his niece to come so nonsense. And running away from home is obviously not realistic. Not to mention how embarrassing Su Xuan would feel like this, Su Wanyun left home, but where could she go?

There was silence for a quarter of an hour, and the two of them were in a secluded place not far from the stable in the camp, although Li Yanzhi was two or three steps away from Su Xiaoniang, he could still clearly hear her undulating breathing.

The sound of breathing became more and more rapid, and later, there was a faint sound of sobbing. This made Li Yanzhi panicked and even more at a loss. He comforted the little lady Su who was not far away and said, "Little lady, don't cry...... Mr. Li...... Li thinks again, thinks again......"

Su Wanyun raised her hand and wiped her tears: "I also know that Sima is embarrassed, since Sima can't think of a way, I will go back to the camp ......."

Li Yanzhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly said, "Wait! ”

Su Wanyun in the dark night stopped the steps he had just taken, turned around and asked, "Does Sima have an idea?" ”

"Pretend to be crazy, pretend to be sick!" Li Yanzhi's expression was solemn, facing Su Wanyun who was a few steps away, and the strategy he thought of in a flash of inspiration had already blurted out...... 5310
