Yikun Prefecture.

Charucci stood on the city wall, looking out at the northern steppe, and at his feet, the layers of military forts still stood tall. Different from the first year of Changxing, when Li Congjing was in the north of the Khitan and led the Lu Long army to capture Yikun Prefecture, the current Yikun Prefecture Military Fort was built using the "cement" developed by the college, and with the level of Khitan explosives, the threat to the military fort group was no longer enough to be fatal, which was also an important reason why Yelu Deguang did not break through the Yikun Prefecture defense line in the first two years.

"This time, the Khitan did not invade Yikunzhou, but according to the terrain around the West Building, set up a defensive position, it seems that Yelu Deguang also knew that he could not attack and win, so he could only hope that he would shrink back to defend and drag down our army." Beside Xia Luqi, Gao Xingzhou said with a smile, "After all, it is more convenient for Khitan materials to be replenished, and although our army is backed by Youyun, in fact, it still relies on Luoyang for weapons replenishment." ”

Xia Ruqi has always been steady, in the steady with offensive sharpness, on the battlefield, he can attack and defend, if the enemy does not have the slightest flaw, it is just that, but whenever there is a trace of gaps exposed, he will be caught, and then quickly break through, at this time listening to Gao Xingzhou's words, Xia Ruqi said: "This is reasonable, according to the facts, Yelu Deguang should indeed shrink to defend." But Yelu Deguang this person, a few years ago, he dared to come to attack my Yikun Prefecture, although at that time there were Shi Jingjiao, Balaxi and others acting together, but this person's heart can be seen. ”

"What does the big marshal mean?" Gao Xingzhou asked tentatively.

Xia Luqi pondered for a moment, "General Gao, you will lead the rampant army to attack the Khitan defense line." What is Yerod's plan, and whether he has set up a trap, I will be able to try it out after beating him for a while. ”

Gao Xingzhou nodded, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

......

West Building.

Jerod did not live in the city, but in the tent of the barracks, and it was not enough to eat and live with the soldiers, but it was enough to show his attitude.

The news that Gao Xingzhou led the rampaging army to take the initiative to storm was sent to Yelu Deguang by Yelu Xiannichi. Reading the strike report, Yelu Deguang was silent, and Yelu Xian Nichi asked: "Before this, the two sides have fought more than ten times, and now Gao Xingzhou led the rampage army to suddenly come, it can be seen that Xia Luqi wants to launch a large-scale attack, I don't know how His Majesty plans to deal with it?" ”

Yelud's eyes were deep, "Charucci is a veteran soldier, and he can't afford to slack off against him. Gao Xingzhou's large-scale killing was just his tentative move, and the Tang army's all-out attack on the defense line of Qilaotu Mountain might not start immediately. ”

Yelu Xian Nichi was puzzled, "Since the Tang army has invaded the north on a large scale, since the front of the army is directly aimed at the West Tower, why is it staying in front of the Seven Old Tu Mountain now, and does not dare to easily dispatch all of them?" ”

Yelu Deguang sneered: "Our army and horses are deployed according to the Seven Old Tushan, if he offends and comes to attack, won't he just give me a chance?" The more clear the tactics, the more you can't be in a hurry, something goes wrong! ”

Yelu Xiannechi showed a sudden look.

Yelu Deguang continued: "Over the years, our army has built a high wall in Qilaotu Mountain, the defense line is strong, the other attack and I defend, our army has the right time, place and people, even if the Tang army is at its peak, it is not so easy to conquer our army's defense line!" ”

Yelu Xiannechi smiled, "That's natural, as long as the Tang army is dragged down, the war will be promising." ”

Yelude thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Li Chongzheng has arrived in Yikun Prefecture?" ”

"He didn't go to Yikun Prefecture, and he was far away in Gubeikou." Jerushonechi replied.

Jerod's light was brooding.

......

Two months later.

Yelu Xian Nechi hurriedly entered the tent and reported to Yelu Deguang: "Your Majesty, the Seven Old Tushan can't be defended!" ”

Yerod Guang was in the main position, and there was no special change in his expression when he heard the words, but his face was as black as ink, and he asked for a long time, "How long can you keep it?" ”

"Five days at most!"

"What if I send all my palace guards?"

"Three more days at most!"

"Then send it!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Jerushina Nirchi!" Yelu Deguang suddenly stood up and stared at Yelu Xian Nirchi, "I ask you now, do you dare to go to Gubeikou?" ”

"Gubeikou?" Jerushine was stunned.

"Li Chongzheng is at Gubeikou, if he can be captured by a surprise attack, there is still room for maneuver in this battle!" Jerod's eyes were fierce.

"Your Majesty......"

"Even if it can't, the Tang army will come to the rescue when they see me rushing to Gubeikou in a roundabout way, as long as the Tang army retreats towards the Qilaotu Mountain, our army can take advantage of the situation to counterattack!"

"I want to go to Gubeikou!"

......

Four days later, Gubeikou, late at night.

The torches on the pass were bright, the cold wind was blowing, and Li Chongzheng stood under the sea of stars, looking at the north all the time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Highness, the hour is not early, let's go and rest early." Ding Hei saw that Li Chongzheng had no intention of leaving for a while, and couldn't help but persuade him.

Li Chongzheng didn't turn around, he raised his head with his hands and looked at the vast sea of stars, "I, the Tang Dynasty, have tens of thousands of soldiers, fighting with thieves in Qilaotu Mountain, and this palace is the crown prince and a solicitor, where can I sleep soundly?" ”

Ding Hei also knew Li Chongzheng's temperament, so he simply stopped persuading, "The military newspaper said that the army is about to break through the Qilaotu Mountain, if this is defeated, the 150,000 troops will come to the West Tower, and Yelu Deguang will have no chance to resist stubbornly." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Li Chongzheng's eyes suddenly lit up and stared outside the gate.

Outside the pass, a little firefly is lit up flickeringly, gathering into a sea, and hitting the pass like a tide.

From time to time, a ranger ran back and shouted before the pass: "The thieves are coming!" ”

The silent city suddenly boiled.

Ding Hei's face changed greatly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, go quickly!" ”

Li Chongzheng still looked outside the gate, and asked unhurriedly: "Go?" Where to go? ”

Ding Hei said eagerly: "Naturally, it is to return to the state city!" The thief army attacked the pass at night, it must be prepared, there is likely to be a tragic bloody battle in Gubeikou, how can the prince be in danger? ”

Li Chongzheng turned his head, looked at Ding Hei, and asked seriously: "Do you think Yelude is stupid?" ”

Ding Hei was stunned, "What does the prince mean by this?" Of course, Jerod Light is not stupid! ”

Li Chongzheng smiled, and looked at the outside of the pass again, the sea connected by the torches was already extraordinarily magnificent, and the sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder, shaking the pass as if they were trembling, "Since Yelu Deguang is not stupid, this surprise attack on Gubeikou will only come for the palace, and only in this way can he reverse the unfavorable battle situation of the Khitan." Since he came for the main palace, how could he not have imagined that it was possible for me to return to the state city from Gubeikou? Now that he thought of it, how could he not make arrangements and arrange for people to set up an ambush in the middle of the road? At present, the main palace retreats from Gubeikou, how many people and horses can it take away? If he is ambushed in the middle of the road, won't he be in the arms of Jerod? ”

Ding Hei was stunned for a while, "The Khitan soldiers and horses are going to break through and set up an ambush behind us, it is impossible that there is no movement!" ”

Li Chongzheng said slowly: "Wait, before dawn, there will be a military report." ”

Li Chongzheng did not expect badly, and Yelu Deguang made many preparations to win this battle, including the "beheading" operation against Li Chongzheng. At the dawn of the Buddha, a military report reached Gubeikou, saying that a group of Khitan soldiers and horses attacked the Baoshuigou Military Fort yesterday, entered from there, and was killing Gubeikou.

Hearing this news, Ding Hei was shocked into a cold sweat, if he really withdrew last night, it would definitely be extremely dangerous to encounter this Khitan army.

Li Chongzheng said: "It's not fortunate that the thief army did not encounter our retreat, and it will inevitably attack Gubeikou from behind. ”

Ding Hei was so anxious that he was sweating profusely when he heard this, "In this way, the prince's situation is dangerous...... You need to send an envoy to Yikun Prefecture immediately, so that Xia Shuai can send troops back to rescue! ”

Li Chongzheng stood up from his seat, "It's time to send an envoy to Yikun Prefecture, but it's not for Xia Shuai to send troops back to rescue, but for him to break through the Seven Old Tushan Mountain in one go and kill the West Tower!" ”

Ding Hei was shocked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you ...... What do you mean by this? ”

"What is the intention? Naturally, it is the country of destroying the Khitan! Li Chongzheng came to Ding Hei, looked at him and said, "Yelu Deguang made a surprise attack on Gubeikou, and his troops were dangerous, which shows that he has no chance of winning on the frontal battlefield!" At this moment, the army should be in one go and take the Khitan State, how can there be a reason for the three armies to return halfway because of the difficulty of one person! ”

Ding Hei was so anxious that he turned around, "But you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if you make a slight mistake, it is related to the country...... The thief army outside the border is powerful, and there is an echo behind it, and the situation in Gubeikou is critical......"

"The situation is critical, then fight hard!" Li Chongzheng raised his head and held his chest high, "Ding Hei, you are the person next to your father, you should know that your father has been fighting in the south and north for 20 years, and has shed countless blood for the Tang Dynasty, but can my father retreat once?" Now, when the thief army is killed, it is also time for the palace to shed blood for the Tang Dynasty! In this battle, the palace will never retreat, nor will it drag the army back! ”

Ding Hei was so anxious that he bowed to the ground and cried: "Your Highness! The thief army is powerful, as the crown prince, you can't get into danger, once you have any mistakes, Your Majesty will also be sad! ”

The attendants and guards inside and outside the room all bowed to the ground and shouted: "Please think twice, don't make Your Majesty sad!" ”

Looking at these people who fell to their knees, Li Chongzheng's eyes were resolute, and he said undoubtedly: "I, Datang, sit on more than 300 states in the world, there are countless heroes and heroes, Li Chongzheng, as the crown prince, dare not lose my face in front of the heroes of the world!" Today, if the palace asks Xia Shuai for help, delays the fighter plane, and harms the battle situation, it will really make His Majesty sad! Today, the enemy is current, the thieves are on the side, how can this palace not fight on the battlefield! Today, the crown prince of Datang can die in battle, but the dignity of Datang cannot be humiliated! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"This palace has made up its mind, you don't need to say much, if there is a hot-blooded man, and with this palace, go to the city to kill the enemy!"

After that, Li Chongzheng came to the door, heard the sound of fighting and fighting on the pass, opened his arms, and said word by word: "Come on, wear armor for the palace!" ”

......

Qi Tongwen stood in front of Luoyang City, looked up at the towering city wall, and saw the armor soldiers standing on the city wall like a god soldier, his heart was like a wave, he looked at the Dingdingmen Street as wide as the river and the sea, his eyes touched the flow of traffic, and suddenly he couldn't help but burst into tears. Beside him, Li Gu, who had returned from his companionship, also had his hands trembling lightly and his eyes were red.

Qi Tongwen sighed: "In the first year of Dingding, we were ordered to go to Hexi to improve Hexi's agricultural affairs and prepare for the long-term stability of Hexi......

When he went to be a weak-crowned boy, Li Gu, who is now a young and handsome man, is full of traces of wind and sand, and the Luoyang cloth scholar at that time still has a childish spirit that has not retreated, and now, he has long been a rough and strong man on the border, his eyes flashed with glory, "In the past seven years, I have traveled all over Hexi and Anxi, and after several dangers of life and death, and now I finally see the majestic Shendu again, I know that this trip lives up to the original intention, and I know that although this trip has a lot of hardships, it will finally live up to the ambition of the man and the trust of the country!" ”

Qi Tongwen felt the same thing, and said: "Seven years ago, I went to Hexi with my waist straight, and now, I can also hold my head high and re-enter Dingding Gate!" ”

Outside the Dingding Gate, there were already officials waiting to greet them. When Qi Tongwen and Li Gu spoke, the officials who greeted him had already walked over quickly, led by Zhang Ziyun, who bowed deeply to Qi Tongwen and his party, "Gentlemen, this trip is hard, Your Majesty is already waiting in the palace, please follow me into the palace." ”

Qi Tongwen and Li Gu glanced at each other, straightened their clothes, and strode into the Dingding Gate with their heads held high.

They already know that this time they will re-enter the Dingding Gate, and their names will inevitably be left in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

......

After meeting Qi Tongwen and Li Gu, Li Congjing received a military report from the north.

When he finished reading this military report in Chongwen Palace, the rain fell on Luoyang City.

Holding the military newspaper, standing solemnly at the door of the palace, looking at Luoyang City in the rain, Li Congjing did not move for a long time.

Yelu Xiannechi led the Khitan elite cavalry, and attacked Gubeikou in a roundabout way, and the prince Li Chongzheng led the defenders of Gubeikou, and fought with the enemy for three days in a bloody battle with the enemy under the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides.

Three days later, Charuqi broke through the Seven Old Tu Mountain and marched straight into the West Building. It was only at this time that Charuqi ordered Li Congzhang to return to Gubeikou.

When Li Congzhang arrived at Gubeikou, Xiongguan had become a hell, with corpses piling up like mountains, rivers of blood, and fires everywhere.

The crown prince Li Chongzheng stood at the juncture of blood and fire and asked Li Congzhang if the army had broken through the Qilaotu Mountain.

Li Congzhang replied that the army had already broken through the Qilaotu Mountain.

The prince smiled, and then fell.

In this battle, the prince did not avoid the arrows and stones, personally went to the battle array, fought with the enemy in blood, four knife wounds, six arrow wounds, and seven other wounds, and finally led the inferior troops to repel the attack of Yelu Xian Nichi, until the reinforcements arrived, he fell tired at the head of the city, and woke up after sleeping for two days.

The rain is getting louder.

Li Congjing looked at the military newspaper again, and showed a smile, "This is my prince of the Tang Dynasty, this is my son of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the capital of my Tang Dynasty that is extremely prosperous in the world and subduing all states!" ”

......

In the winter of the seventh year of Dingding, Li Chongzheng and Xia Luqi led a forbidden army of 150,000, and Lu Long's army to destroy the Khitan Kingdom.

......

In the eighth year of Dingding, Liaoning Province was set up at the site of the Khitan State, with Yelu Min as the political envoy.

Yelu Deguang, escorted to Luoyang.

In the same year, a Mongolian province was established in the Tatar Ministry, with Ahri as the political envoy.

Balasi, send Luoyang.

In the ninth year of Dingding, Daming'an of Bohai State invited himself to be the province of Datang, and Li Congjing allowed him to set up Jilin Province with Daming'an as the political envoy.

In the same year, the steam engine was unveiled at Luoyang College, triggering a wave of science and technology.

In the eleventh year of Dingding, Guo Wei led the forbidden army, joined Li Yanchao, and sent troops to Tibet.

In the twelfth year of Dingding, Tibet was set up as a province in Tibet.

In the same year, it was revived.

In the autumn of the first year of revival, Prime Minister Mo Li, please rebuild Daming Palace, Li Congjing agreed.

......

In spring, the wind is beautiful. In Luoyang Palace, Li Congjing and Mo Li sat opposite each other in the attic and drank freely.

"After nearly ten years, the Daming Palace has finally been completed, and another burden has been lifted from the body. I came to drink with Your Majesty today, and I also wanted to take this opportunity to return to my hometown with Your Majesty and return to Jinyang to live idlely. Mo Li drank the stone frozen spring in the cup, and when he put down the wine glass, he said to Li Congjing.

Li Congjing smiled and said: "From the fifth year of Dingding to the tenth year of revival, the prime minister has not been done for twenty years, so he thinks about being lazy?" ”

Mo Li stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The prime minister has not done it for twenty years, but now, he is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven." At this time, I can go back to my hometown to retire, and I can walk around again, look at the great rivers and mountains of my Datang, if I wait a few more years, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk! ”

Li Congjing drank another glass, smacked his lips, and teased: "Resigned, you can be at ease, I can't, I just want to go around to see the splendid rivers and mountains of my Tang Dynasty, but I don't have a chance - I won't be cruising around, or a private visit to Weifu, right?" ”

Mo Li smiled: "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, aren't they all in Your Majesty's heart?" It doesn't have to be in front of you. ”

Li Congjing scolded Mo Li with a smile, "I didn't see you flattering when I was young, but when I was old, I was flattering." ”

After speaking, Li Congjing suddenly fell into silence, and after a long time, he sighed: "From the young man of Jinyang to the current emperor and general, Mo Ge'er, for more than 30 years, I have lost you by my side!" ”

Mo Centrifugal felt something, and couldn't help but be greatly moved, "Jinyang Young Lang, Meng Ping, Zhang Ziyun, in those years in the market, or in front of the window to read books, or mixed on the streets, laughing and scolding, but really high-spirited. ”

Li Congjing nodded, "Qimen Jianjun, there are more brothers Li Shaocheng, Meng San, Wang Buqi, Wei Dao, Li Rong, Zhao Xiangyao, Ding Mao, Shi Congda, Lin Ying and Lin Xiong...... Of course, there is also the peach master, the fifth girl. ”

"The peach master of the Immortal Mountain not only swept the ministers and Meng Ping to the mountain, but also rode the spear under the Immortal Mountain, and almost picked off the horse of the main general of the Hundred Battles Army. The style of those years still makes people think about it, and they are still fascinated. Mo Li was half emotional, half joking.

Li Congjing continued to reminisce, "When I arrived in Huaimeng, there was Guo Wei, there were 20,000 hundred soldiers, and then there was a queen, and there was Ding Hei, who went out to fight on the river and attacked Daliang, and there were many people and many things, and I couldn't think about it." ”

Mo Li said with a smile: "Out of the town of Youzhou, there are four talents, eight great generals, and there are countless outstanding generals and schools, An Chongrong, Zhao Hongyin, ......."

Li Congjing stood up and came to the window, "For more than 30 years, too many people and things are now vivid, and there are no words to say!" ”

Mo Li also got up, stood behind Li Congjing's side, and also looked out the window, "For more than 30 years, have you achieved all your ambitions?" ”

The wine is still warm and fragrant, just waiting for the people of the year.

When it was over, Mo Li saluted Li Congjing and said goodbye.

When Mo Li walked out of the attic and walked in the corridor, Li Congjing turned around and looked, and seemed to see the handsome boy in the white robe who folded the fan again, chic and unparalleled, and he couldn't help shouting: "Brother Mo!" ”

Mo Li stopped, turned around, and saw Li Congjing in the attic, the young man in the green shirt and spear in the past, seemed to be standing under the eaves of the Jinyang courtyard, and in an instant his throat was as hard as a rock, and he bowed deeply, "Brother Li!" ”

......

Sunset.

The afterglow fell on Li Congjing's shoulders, and Li Congjing stood in the attic.

Tao Xiaoyao raised her head and saw Li Congjing in the attic, the figure who seemed a little lonely at this moment. She glanced at Mo Li in the distance again, and unconsciously her nose was a little pantothenic. She knows better than anyone that it was these two people who joined forces to create today's prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Behind the glory, at the end of the prosperity, there is always only loneliness.

Walking up to the attic, Tao Xiaoyao stood beside Li Congjing, gently took his hand, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. Without a word, she just gazed at him lovingly, just as he gazed at his empire.

Feeling the temperature of his palm, Li Congjing smiled gently, "When I was young, I asked myself countless times, how to live a meaningful life, how to spend my life, and I will not be dissatisfied with myself when I come." ”

"I thought about it for many years, and then I had the answer. I think that when I am old, sitting side by side with my cherished wife in the sunset, rowing on the river, snuggling up to each other, and then I look back on my life and have had a career that fulfilled my ambitions – and that would be the fulfillment of it. ”

Li Congjing turned his head to look at Tao Yaoyao, only her face was in his eyes, "I know that this idea is a bit extravagant, and I want a little too much, so I'm very glad, glad I got it today." ”

Tao Yaoyao smiled like a child and buried her head in Li Congjing's chest. Li Congjing hugged her tightly and looked at the world outside the window, "I have done what I should do and met the people I should meet, I think that whether it is a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, this is the most fulfilling life." ”

......

When the Daming Palace was completed, Luoyang City was empty, whether it was dignitaries, or the common people, whether it was foreign businessmen, or envoys from various countries, they all rushed to the Daming Palace.

Li Congjing feasted the ministers, and before the banquet began, he delivered the speech that spread all over the world.

"Four thousand years ago, our ancestors, on the land under our feet, painted the first symbol for our civilization."

"Over the past 4,000 years, with the blood, sweat and wisdom of countless ancestors, the great Han and Tang civilizations have appeared in this land. The civilization of the Han and Tang dynasties will not only shine in the annals of history and be remembered for centuries, but also should be spread all over the world and benefit all people. ”

"If that day really comes, as a Tang person, I and Er can say that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."

"There is no doubt that the Han and Tang civilizations are the first civilizations in the world. Even if it's not now, it will be in the future. Because the Han and Tang civilizations are inclusive, open and broad, and constantly strive for self-improvement. We are advanced, but we are still not ashamed to ask, we are strong, but we are still humble and studious. ”

"Because of this, Datang's society should be shining and flawless."

"If there is an official who is still corrupt and perverts the law, Datang should not be satisfied."

"If there is a Tang person who is still worried about food and clothing, Datang should not be satisfied."

"If there is a Tang person whose dignity is still being insulted, Datang should not be satisfied!"

"If the world is so big, what knowledge is there that the Tang people don't know, the Tang Dynasty shouldn't be satisfied!"

"If the world is so big, there is still a place that the Tang people have never set foot in, and the Tang Dynasty should not be satisfied!"

"If the world is so big, and there is a state that is disrespectful to Datang, Datang should not be satisfied!"

"I have a dream, the Tang Dynasty can be strong and unfading, and will always receive tribute from all over the world!"

"I have a dream, everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows right and wrong, good and evil, all know etiquette and friendship and love, and all have the idea of serving the country!"

"I have a dream, every Tang person who goes abroad can be seen at a glance, this is the Tang people!"

"I want you to know where you came from, I want you to remember the glory and humiliation of your ancestors, and I want you to know what color the blood is flowing from your body!"

"I hope that no matter when you are, no matter what circumstances you face, you must remember to protect the glory of my Han and Tang Dynasties, protect my Han and Tang civilizations, and guard the bottom line of why we Tang people are Tang people!"

"I hope that all of you, and every Tang person, will carry the banner of the Tang Dynasty, never be satisfied with the achievements you have achieved, never be afraid of the enemies you have not yet defeated, and never stop the pace of conquest!"

"Because you are Tang people, you are Tang people who have been moving forward!"

——————

The whole book is finished.

——————

It's done.

It's coming, and it's a lot of reluctance.

Looking back at those stories and those people, they are all vivid, and I really don't want to say goodbye to them.

An old friend who had been with him day and night was gone.

Not perfect. But I know that this is the end of the road.

These days, I have tried to keep going, but after all, I have no choice but to find that I can only go here.

In this case, instead of dragging it, it is better to give the end point, draw an end, and leave a good memory.

And I know that in the world of "Emperors of the Ten Kingdoms", the story does not stop, and those people will continue to move forward.

......

This book has been written for a long time, unexpectedly long, of course, because I updated the scum.

When I decided to write about the Five Dynasties, I planned to base myself on the Southern Tang Dynasty and take the southern route, but after several twists and turns, I put pen to paper on Li Congjing, which was quite hasty. Therefore, in the early stage of the book, the preparation was insufficient, the historical materials were lacking, and there were few exquisite studies, and there were stories but no history.

The process of writing this book is a process of in-depth study of that period of history, and it is also a process of learning how to write a good historical essay.

Due to the increasingly harsh policies of historical texts, many places that were originally prepared to be paved and intended to be rich and colorful, can only be brushed aside.

Perhaps this book has been written for too long, and Yang Wu is exhausted after writing the content. After writing Shi Jingjiao, he transferred to the preparation period of the new book, and the two sides were pulled, which was even more powerless. There are also some personal reasons that lead to things that should have been written well are not well written.

In any case, there are things to be proud of in this book, and there are also many regrets to leave behind. Looking back now, there are only some thanks left in my heart, thanks to the subscribers and rewarding readers for their support along the way. I feel guilty for you. I don't want to say anything about this incompetence, but I'm really sorry.

Historical literature is the feelings of the family and the country, the ambition of a man, and the dream of dominating the world when I was young, carrying history and Li Min on my shoulders, thank you for accompanying me to complete this dream. You are a hot-blooded son, if you have wine, I really want to sing with you on the moon, and get drunk for 3,000 times.

......

There must be a new book, but there have been twists and turns that I didn't expect, so, although I really want to write in Zongheng forever, but whether it can still be in Zongheng, I am not sure, and I will inform you at that time - if I can stay in Zongheng, I will write some afterwords and extras, and explain the fate of some characters in detail.

......

Again, thank you. May the bright moon hang above your heads to illuminate the road ahead and return under your feet.
