"Why does His Highness only think about Liu Zhijun's victory? Since ancient times, the master of high merit is not reversed! It is to be killed. Now in troubled times, I'm afraid Liu Zhijun is the opposite, more likely! Ying Lian's soft voice was full of femme fatale.

"You are so palpitating and at the same time, beautiful and addictive to the mandala!" Li Cunhuan stared at Yinglian's coquettish beauty, and his eyes revealed that he didn't know whether it was pity, jealousy, dazedness, or something else.

"I hate to be a man!" Ying Lian sighed faintly, walked in front of Li Cunhuan, threw himself into Li Cunhuan's arms, and said faintly.

"If you are a man, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos!" Li Cunhuan gently stroked the three thousand soft green silk of Ying Lian, and said with a smile.

"Hey! Giggle! Ying Lian smiled and buried his head in Li Cunhuan's chest, I don't know why a haze flashed in Li Cunhuan's heart, he didn't like Ying Lian's intelligence. He remembered three people in history, Lu Pheasant, Wu Zetian, and Cixi.

Ying Lian seemed to feel something, raised her face, and asked half-jokingly, "Are you afraid of me?" Will you treat me like Emperor Wu of Han did to Lady Gouge? ”

Li Cunhuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood. Lady Gogo was the mother of Emperor Zhao of Han, the successor of Emperor Wu of Han. However, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was only eight years old when he was about to die, and he was still a virtual age. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to prevent the mother from being strong and having young children, caused the queen mother to interfere in politics. Before he died, he strangled Mrs. Gogo to death and strangled this hidden danger invisibly.

After a while, Li Cunhuan suddenly laughed, and a sense of pride rose in his heart, and the previous jealousy of Ying Lian suddenly dissipated for some reason. "Hah! Ha! Who am I, Li Cunhuan? If you can't even subdue a woman! What about the king? ”

Shadow Pity's eyes flickered with a misty gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.

………… Five days later, Li Cunhuan personally marched for Guo Chongtao, accompanied by Xie Yanzhang and Yuan Xingqin, who were erected by Li Cunhuan, five thousand light cavalry, one person and two horses, and even the equipment was a strengthened version. In addition to some spare armor leaves for repair, each person was equipped with three cavalry spears, two Tang swords, a hard bow, a crossbow, two bags of crossbow arrows, four bags of arrows, a small round shield for cavalry, and fifty arrowheads, which could be replenished by finding branches.

It seems, it seems to be a lot, but in fact there are not many, these are all weapons, and the real weight of the equipment is iron armor, which adds up to a little worse than a full-body plate armor.

Li Cunhuan raised a bowl of liquor, raised his brows high, and his majestic voice sounded. "Nonsense, the lonely king won't say much here! I wish you all a victory! The Lone King is here waiting for your good news! ”

Guo Chongtao was wearing a half-length plate armor, and the armor skirt at the hem swayed slightly when he walked, making a sound of metal clashing, and he was wearing a certain black iron helmet on his head, with a red feather of nearly a foot stuck on the top. The whole person looks imposing.

Beside him, half a point behind, they were Xie Yanzhang and Yuan Xingqin, Yuan Xingqin and Guo Chongtao were almost dressed up, but I have to admit that the same armor was obviously more powerful than Guo Chongtao when worn on Yuan Xingqin.

Xie Yanzhang was wearing a gray Confucian suit, with tiger stripes on the collar and sleeves, and a sword pinned to his waist, and the whole person looked elegant and heroic. He had an opinion on Li Cunhuan, and his face was slightly unwilling, seeing that Li Cunhuan was just a perfunctory arch of his hand. is not as respectful as Guo Chongtao and Yuan Xingqin.

Guo Chongtao and the others picked up a bowl of water and wine, also raised their eyebrows, and shouted: "We will never live up to the trust of His Royal Highness King Qin!" Don't kill thieves to serve the country! Repay the kindness of His Royal Highness King Qin! ”

"Kill thieves to serve the country! Repay the kindness of His Royal Highness King Qin! The soldiers shouted.

"Good!" Li Cunhuan nodded, Pu Leshu walked to Li Cunhuan respectfully with a tray in both hands, Li Cunhuan picked up the bronze cast tiger talisman from the tray, the slightly rusty tiger talisman is not very lifelike, but it has a kind of simplicity and solemnity.

Guo Chongtao bowed slightly, and took the tiger talisman with respectful hands. He said loudly: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of His Highness!" ”

Li Cunhuan nodded with a satisfied smile on his face, and said loudly: "Here, I announce a good news!" ”

The city gate, which was originally a little noisy, couldn't help but slowly calm down, Li Cunhuan raised his hand, pointed to the city tower and said: "King Gu is here as the king of Great Qin, officially announcing that he canonized Yuan Yan and Yun Jiedu envoy Guo Chongtao as the envoy of the obligation festival and the prince of Beiping!" ”

As soon as Li Cunhuan's words fell, a person walked out of the city tower, who was it not Ge Congzhou? I saw Ge Congzhou not saying a word, standing on the city wall like a javelin. When he saw Li Cunhuan, he bowed deeply and was respectful.

The soldiers and horses couldn't help but cheer, and one of the enemy's generals surrendered, which had a non-negligible impact on morale.

Xie Yanzhang's eyes flickered a little as he glanced at Ge Congzhou on the city tower, and sighed faintly. He muttered in a low voice: "As soon as Your Highness's plan comes out, the white will also turn black." Stepfather...... Alas! ”

"Scholar, what are you muttering?" Guo Chongtao on the side looked at Xie Yanzhang with a smile and asked.

Xie Yanzhang's heart jumped, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly responded: "No...... Nothing! ”

"Oh!" Guo Chongtao replied noncommittally, as if he didn't care about the perfunctory tone in Xie Yanzhang's tone.

............ "Li Cunhuan! I'll grass your mother! Let me go, you are a hero and you will slaughter Lao Tzu with one sword! Don't use such third-rate methods! At this moment, Ge Congzhou did not have a trace of calmness, his eyes were so red that he looked like a wild bull, and his cheeks looked extremely hideous because of the tangled muscles.

But obviously it was impossible for Li Cunhuan to hear his voice, although Ge Congzhou's roar was very loud, but compared to the cheers of five thousand people, it was obviously weaker I don't know how many progressions. The cheers from the city overshadowed Ge Congzhou's roar, but then again, even if he knew Ge Congzhou's words, Li Cunhuan wouldn't pay attention to it, let alone care.

Yang Shihou glanced at the back of the soldier who pretended to be Ge Congzhou, turned his head, looked at Ge Congzhou who was pressed on the wooden chair by several strong men with a smile, and teased: "General Ge! Oh no! It should be called Ge Cong Zhou Ge Guogong! Your Highness is really generous, you must know that in Lulong, you are the first to be awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom! Oh no! His Royal Highness's father-in-law, Li Kuangchou, was also posthumously named the Duke of Yan Guo, but Ge Guogong, you don't have to be angry with a dead man! To tell the truth, you are the first person to be crowned a prince by His Royal Highness. Even I'm jealous of Ge Guogong's reward! ”

Yang Shihou's words, the upright Ge Congzhou trembled, but Yang Shihou had already prepared, seven or eight Hercules held Ge Congzhou to death, and Ge Congzhou, who only ate half a meal at each meal, was the opponent of seven or eight Hercules.

"Alright, old man, think about it! I'm afraid that in a few days, the news of your defection will reach the ears of Zhu Laosan, fortunately your family is in our hands, otherwise it! Phew! I don't need to talk about the consequences. Is this kind of person worth your life for? And even if His Royal Highness King Qin is merciful and lets you go, how can you go there? When you come to Zhu Wen's side, if you don't cut you down, then your ancestral grave will be smoking! Not to mention continuing to reuse! Before leaving, Yang Shihou still didn't forget to sprinkle salt on Ge Congzhou's wound.

Ge Congzhou's blood-red eyes looked at Yang Shihou's back, and a beast-like roar came out of his mouth, but there couldn't help but flash a trace of struggle in his eyes. He knew that although Yang Shihou's words were not listened to, Yang Shihou was not wrong in what he said. Zhu Wen is suspicious and murderous, this is already an open secret among high-ranking generals, and Ge Congzhou knows that Li Cunhuan hit him in the dead hole this time. disguised a set of scenes of his own surrender, whether it was true or not, Ge Congzhou knew that Zhu Wen was already suspicious. Returned to Zhu Wen's side, is it possible not to be beheaded by Zhu Wen? Ge Congzhou didn't know how much chance he had of not being killed by Zhu Wen.

Even if he was not killed by Zhu Wen, Ge Congzhou knew that he was by Zhu Wen's side and would no longer have anything to do with power.

The most important thing is that Ge Congzhou's family is now in the hands of Li Cunhuan, even if Ge Congzhou is released, who dares to believe that he will not have an affair with Li Cunhuan? In addition, now that Ge Congzhou and his family are in the hands of Li Cunhuan, and then promise high-ranking officials Houlu, who dares to guarantee that Ge Congzhou will not surrender.

"Suspicious neighbor stealing axe!" Ge Congzhou muttered dejectedly, when Zhu Wen suspects a person, then it is undoubtedly very difficult for this person to get rid of suspicion. What's more, now Li Cunhuan doesn't even give Ge Congzhou a chance to defend himself, even if Zhu Wen trusts Ge Congzhou in his heart again, after a long time, who can tell the truth of the matter?

............ "Smack! ~"I don't know if it's Zhu Wen's first precious ceramic bowl that was broken today." Zhu Wen found that since Li Cunhuan replaced Li Keyong and confronted him, everything was not going well for him. The attack on Hejian City failed, and Ge Congzhou had to retreat from the Ma River, so as not to be contacted by Sun He Zhou Dewei and give him a front and back attack.

The several county towns that had been occupied had to be surrendered, and Zhu Wen once again returned to the starting line and besieged Hejian City. However, fortunately, Ge Congzhou's troops were insufficient, and Ge Congzhou had the heart to rescue Hejian City, but he was also more than willing to do it. Zhu Wen swore that when he broke through Hejian City, he must let the soldier and horse envoy named Sun He know that provoking him would be the thing he would regret the most in his life.

However, when the eight hundred miles in the south rushed to Zhu Wen's hands, Zhu Wen was even more angry, and Ge Congzhou was not only defeated by Li Cunhuan with 10,000 partial divisions, but also surrendered to Li Cunhuan. Regarding the latter news, Zhu Wen was skeptical, but it didn't mean that Zhu Wen's subordinates also thought so, they were all talking about it.

Suddenly, Zhu Wen remembered that Ge Congzhou had a proton in his own place, which he inherited from his brother, although he was Ge Congzhou's son, but he had always been called an officer, and he was actually a proton who stayed by Zhu Wen's side. Zhu Wen knew that as long as he moved his mouth, Ge Congzhou, the son who had passed over, would be in a different place. When Zhu Wen knew better, if he did this, I am afraid that there would be no way to change things back.

Zhu Wen slowly walked out of the tent, and Zhu Wen couldn't help but squint his eyes in the bright sun, making his whole person look even more gloomy. It was a gloom that even the sun could not dispel that haze in people's hearts.

…… Bianzhou ...... "The subordinate eagles have seen the right town envoy!" ”

"The subordinate coyotes have seen the right town envoy!"

Two muffled voices sounded quietly, and a man slowly walked out of the shadow of the alley wall, his face shrouded in darkness with a wide straw hat. Raise your head, the moonlight is sprinkled on this person's face, it is not Sun Dingshi, the right envoy of Jinyi Wei, who is it!

"Are you all ready?" Sun Dingshi's voice was neither happy nor sad, like a wooden man.

"Back to the words of the right town envoy! It's all set! After all, Zhang's defense is not as tight as Zhu Wen's, and we have been preparing since last year, I dare not say that it is foolproof, but there is at least an eighty percent chance! The eagle on one side whispered.

"So much for the best! Here's a prescription, take it back, I want the Zhang family to eat this food!" Sun Dingshi took out a piece of straw paper from his sleeve, handed it over, and said in a deep voice.

The coyote hesitated for a moment, and said, "Right Suppression Envoy, I'm afraid it won't work to poison you!" Although Zhang's side defense was not as tight as Zhu Wen's, it had also undergone two layers of poison testing. ”

"Don't be afraid! All you need is Zhang's to eat it! I think Zhang seems to have a cough, right? Sun Dingshi asked, "Yes!" The right town soothes the root of Zhang's illness since last winter. The coyote replied in a deep voice.

"Well, that's fine, you are now a doctor in King Liang's mansion, when you find an opportunity to diagnose Zhang's illness, let her drink some brown sugar water after meals, and brown sugar can moisten her throat." Sun Dingshi secretly commanded.

Hearing this, the coyote showed a chuckle and said, "The right town envoy doesn't need to be so troublesome, the Zhang family drinks brown sugar water to replenish blood when he comes to that every month." Is it just that this is of any use? ”

Sun Dingshi replied indifferently: "It was the prescription given to me by His Royal Highness himself, as long as the Zhang family consumes beef and brown sugar at the same time in one hour, she will swell to death." If you can't do it, there are other poisons on it, such as dog meat mixed with mung beans, which is really invisible! ”

When the coyote and the eagle heard this, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, facing this poison, it was really unguardable. The two looked at each other and bowed their hands at the same time. "My subordinates understand!"

"You must be careful in this matter, this is last year, the third guy of the pig actually instigated hundreds of officials under the nose of our Jinyiwei to almost force the palace to let His Royal Highness be the emperor, and almost made a big mistake. This is not only a shame for His Highness, but also the greatest shame for our Jinyi Guard since its establishment! Be sure to let Zhu Wen know that our Jinyiwei is not easy to mess with! Sun Dingshi nodded and said categorically.

"Please rest assured! Good news will come out in seven days! The coyote and the eagle roared.

"Good! We've been here for a long time, and I'll be there soon, and you know what to do! As soon as Sun Dingshi's words fell, the person disappeared into the darkness, and with his gray-black robe, it was difficult to find Sun Dingshi's figure in the dark.

The eagle and coyote bowed in the direction Sun Dingshi had left, and then flew away.

No one thought that there were countless murderous intentions hidden in this silent alley, and Zhu Wen didn't know that Li Cunhuan actually hit his wife, Zhang. In fact, this is mainly because of Zhang's relatively low-key relationship, except that Li Cunhuan deeply knows that Zhang's role is no less than Jingxiang's, so he will send people to poison Zhang's at all costs.

………… Back at the hidden place of residence, Sun Dingshi had just taken off his wide gray-black robe and hung it on the hanger, when suddenly there was a crisp knock on the wooden door. "Quack! Grak! The knock on the door, in the silent night sky, looked particularly eerie.

Sun Dingshi slowly pulled out the barrier knife in his arms, walked behind the wooden door, and asked indifferently with a hint of vigilance: "Who?" ”

"My lord, it's me! Seventh! There was a deliberately low volume sound outside.

Sun Dingshi slowly opened the wooden door and was relieved to see that Lao Qi was the only one outside. Some complained and said, "What's the matter at such a late hour?" Weird and scary! ”

"It's His Highness who just got the news!" Lao Qi pulled out a three-inch-long roll of paper from his arms.

"Oh!" Sun Dingshi replied noncommittally and took it. He walked to the wooden table, lit an oil lamp, and read the words on the scroll carefully by the flickering light. I don't know if there are too few words on the paper roll, or Sun Dingshi's reading speed is too fast, but in a moment, Sun Dingshi finished reading and gently put the end of the paper roll on the oil lamp. Soon the paper roll was ignited, and Sun Dingshi gently placed the paper roll in a clay pot and watched the paper roll burn into ashes.

Only then did he turn around and look at Lao Qi, and ordered: "You go and wake up Lao Ba and Lao Jiu, and tell them that tomorrow the rooster will get up, and you will also go down and prepare, three horses per person." Gotta get there, Guanzhong. ”

"Did something happen?" Lao Qi was slightly stunned and asked curiously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!" Sun Dingshi frowned, suppressed his voice, and scolded dissatisfiedly.

"Yes! The subordinate is talkative. Lao Qi hurriedly confessed, bowed to Sun Dingshi, and slowly withdrew from the house.

After another three days, Fu Cunzhen finally came, and he brought 50,000 regiments of training soldiers, all of whom were included in the battle soldiers, just waiting for Li Cunhuan to give them a number. Li Cunhuan didn't bother to come up with a name, so he was directly appointed as the First Army of Lulong and the Second Army of Lulong, each with a different number of troops, between 9,000 and 7,000 people, a total of six armies. The supreme commander is the commander of the capital, and the commander of the army is the commander, and there are the head of the capital and the deputy general under his jurisdiction.

The arrival of Fu Cunxian is undoubtedly a strong needle, and it is also the force that makes Xuanwu palpitate, Li Cunhuan left Liu Cheng to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to stay in Yanzhou to defend Pang Shigu to the north. Li Cunhuan himself personally led an army of 35,000 from Yanzhou to Bianzhou, which is now Kaifeng, through Caozhou. Yang Shihou led an army of 20,000 to attack Yunzhou while protecting Li Cunhuan's flank.

The Central Plains was turbulent for a while, and at this time, Yang Xingmi also had the heart to participate in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains. I want to make a fortune in the Central Plains. Fengxiang's Xiqi King Li Maozhen was also not to be outdone, and secretly mobilized troops and horses. Only Li Ke, who had been disabled, was unwilling to hide in the east of the river to add wounds.

In addition, it is mentioned here that in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, 'Du' is equivalent to our current 'general', which can be understood as the commander and commander of the army, while the commander of the capital is the commander-in-chief, which was a temporary title at first, and then slowly evolved into a real power.
