readx; Li Qing'an received the appointment notice of Fu Meng Lingcha and the news of Li Linfu's death on the same day, compared with the former, Li Qing'an paid more attention to Li Linfu's death, this Sino-Tang political strongman who had too many interests entangled with him, just went silently, and the court even blocked the news of his death, he only learned the news from a letter from Li Linfu's son, in fact, even if the court did not blockade, Li Linfu's death in Chang'an would not cause much turmoil, people have forgotten him, this is also Li Linfu's sorrow, he was once illustrious, but his death was so bleak.

But Li Qing'an felt a little sad about Li Linfu's death, although Li Linfu had a bad reputation and left a sign of the honey-bellied sword in later generations, but Li Linfu was a big help to him in Li Qing'an's career, especially when he secretly helped Wuyi escape in the most difficult time, which made Li Qingan feel a little grateful to him.

Li Linfu's death means the end of an era, means that the central court of the Tang Dynasty has changed from strong to weak, whether it is Yang Guozhong, Zhang Yun or Wang Hui, they can not be compared with Li Linfu's ability to control various complex situations, Li Linfu's death also means that the balance between the local and central courts has been broken, and the Tang Dynasty will gradually enter an era of instability.

"General, Mr. Yan asks to see you!"

A report from the guards came from outside the door, and Li Qingan immediately reversed Li Wei's letter and put the notice of Fu Meng Lingcha's appointment on it.

"Come in!"

He knew what Yan Zhuang was looking for him to do? He also knew that Fu Meng Lingcha's appointment was because his life experience was leaked, and he also knew Li Jue's whistleblowing, in the past few days, the secret of his life experience has spread all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, inside and outside the Green Mountains, although none of his subordinates talked about it in front of him, but he felt that the eyes of everyone looking at him were different from the past, and there was obviously a trace of expectation in those eyes, he understood the meaning of that expectation, and he was working in that direction step by step.

Although Li Jue's whistleblowing has increased the difficulty for him to face the challenges of a complex situation to a certain extent, from another angle, this incident has also clarified his identity and provided him with the greatest legal basis for competing in the world.

At this time, the door creaked open, Yan Zhuang walked in, although he was very anxious, but he walked as lightly as possible, he knew that Li Qingan must be restless at this time, too many things came suddenly, if it wasn't for the urgency, he didn't want to disturb Li Qing'an's thinking.

"Sir is here, please be seated!"

Yan Zhuang sat down, and said that Li Qing'an, who he saw every day, was a little strange in his heart at this time, it should be said that his solemn state of mind had changed a little, since he heard that Li Qing'an was built, Yan Zhuang almost didn't sleep all night, he thought too much, it turned out that he was persuading Li Qing'an to be self-reliant, because he knew that Li Qing'an was not qualified to win the world for the time being, but now it is different, Li Qing'an has become a clan identity, and all extravagant hopes have suddenly turned into hope, Yan Zhuang has overturned all his previous ideas, Started a new way of thinking, Yan Zhuang also has his own ideals, to help his lord establish the imperial industry, isn't this a kind of meritorious cause?

"Envoy, I just received news from Broken Leaves, and King Qing is also opposed to Fu Mengling's entry into Anxi." Yan Zhuang cautiously tested.

"What do you think, sir?" Li Qingan asked silently.

Yan Zhuang smiled: "I have a plan, I can use King Qing to get rid of Fumeng Lingcha." ”

Li Qingan smiled faintly and said: "There are many ways to get rid of Fumeng Lingcha, I can borrow back the hands of the Su people, or I can let the Tubo people or the big cannibals clean him up, but after getting rid of Fumeng Lingcha, what if Li Longji sends Gao Xianzhi tomorrow?" Or let Ge Shuhan come the day after tomorrow, how will I deal with it? ”

"This ....." Yan Zhuang was a little speechless.

At this time, Li Qingan asked with a smile: "If Mr. chooses, does Mr. think strategy works or war works?" ”

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight, his subordinates think that the heart is the best."

"Then let me ask you again, is it a conspiracy or a conspiracy in the strategy?"

Yan Zhuang pondered for a moment and asked, "I only know about the conspiracy, but I don't know what the conspiracy is?" ”

"Yangmou is to follow the trend, move with the situation, win with clumsiness, heavy sword and no edge, such as Cao Ying coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, it is Yangmou."

Yan Zhuang nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, Yang Mou is the top, and the conspiracy is the bottom." ”

Li Qingan shook his head, "I think the real power is conspiracy and conspiracy." ”

He casually picked up a report on the table and said, "I also received news that Fu Meng Lingcha has arrived in Liangzhou, and there are only four hundred guards with him. ”

．．．．．．．． In November, strong winds and cold waves swept across the grasslands, and the Tang-Hu coalition army's sweep of the Hui grassland half a year ago had achieved initial results, and it was difficult to see the shadow of herdsmen on the grasslands thousands of miles east of Jinshan, and the fear of the Tang army made most of the herdsmen choose to move eastward, and it was difficult for the Hui to launch an attack on the Tongluo tribe again.

With the advent of winter, the grassland became completely quiet, but the cautious and suspicious Cui Qianyou was still not at ease, from September, he sent nearly 100 teams to clean the scattered herdsmen on the grassland, burned the herdsmen's forage, robbed their cattle and sheep, and drove them to the far east, this cleaning continued until the first winter snow fell in November, although the area of thousands of miles east of Jinshan became a no-man's land, but Cui Qianyou still controlled the eager ambition of the three Hu tribes to expand eastward, Before Li Qing'an's order was not issued, the Tanghu coalition army still held Jinshan, not to move a step eastward, with the arrival of heavy snow, tens of thousands of coalition troops finally withdrew, they are all grassland people, knowing that the Hui people will never launch an offensive in the winter without supplies, and they will be safe before the beginning of spring, but Cui Qianyou still left nearly 10,000 troops stationed in Jinshan to prevent emergencies.

A cavalry composed of 3,000 of the most elite Shatuo people, under the leadership of Zhu Xie, the prince of Shatuo, crossed the Zheluo Manshan Mountain, and traveled eastward for half a month, arriving at Juyanhai, and then turned south along the Zhangye River, and arrived near Yaoli Mountain, which was about 100 miles away from Zhangye, and lurked like a wolf pack.

At the end of November, Fumeng Lingcha, who went to Anxi to take up his post, was escorted by four hundred Jinwuwei soldiers, and arrived at Zhangye City after more than 20 days of marching, they rested in Zhangye for three days, and continued to set off, like the grassland, the Hexi Corridor also felt the attack of the cold wave, the cold wind blew strongly, whistling, circling and raging on the Hexi Corridor, the merchants and herdsmen have rarely seen it in the wild, the vast land, the bleak winter scenery is endless, fortunately there is no snow yet, the road is not blocked, otherwise the heavy snow will close the road, It will be extremely difficult to walk on the Hexi corridor.

Despite the cold scenery, but Fu Meng Lingcha is still full of interest, the first year of Tianbao, he is the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, he is very familiar with every inch of land here, in the early years of Tianbao, the Tuqi Shi chief Mohe Dagan rebelled, it was his husband Meng Lingcha led the western expedition, in the third year of Tianbao defeated Mohe Dagan in one fell swoop, and beheaded it, quelled the rebellion, but unfortunately he used the wrong person, let Gao Xianzhi rise, so that he lost the Anxi Shuai Yin, and returned to the east.

It has been nearly six years since he said goodbye to Anxi, and today he finally embarked on the glorious road of the past again, which made his heart fluctuate, before leaving, Li Longji personally put wine and practiced with him, and the secret instructions of the saint seemed to be still echoing in his ears, "The public went to Anxi, hoping to live up to my trust, and said that Li Qing'an's head was dedicated early, and I promised you to be the king of Anxi County, from now on, you will be the main army, and the king of Qing will be in charge until the old man dies in office." ”

In his pocket, there is also a banner written by Li Longji himself: 'Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles! ’

Looking at the desolate sky and feeling the strong west wind, Fu Meng Lingcha's mood was agitated, he almost couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, he burst into tears, and said to himself on the horse: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the old minister will use two months at most, and he will definitely dedicate Li Qing'an's head to His Majesty to repay His Majesty's kindness!" ”

On this morning, they had left Zhangye for more than two hundred miles, in front of them was the Health Army, and then seventy miles forward was the famous Kongtong Mountain, where the population began to dense, and the distance from the Health Army to Kongtong Mountain was relatively desolate and sparsely populated, so Fumeng Lingcha wanted the Health Army to escort him.

There are still two miles away from the barracks, a castle has been seen in the distance, the castle is surrounded by the fence of the Tang army camp, the healthy army has 3,000 troops, is an important force to defend Zhangye, far away, a team of cavalry rushed to this side, a moment to run to the front, the leader of the officer is a thirty-year-old captain, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Humble and healthy military captain Zhang Quan see Marshal Fumeng!" ”

Fu Mengling saw that it was just a captain who came to welcome him, and he was displeased, so he said, "What about you General Luo?" Why didn't he come to greet Ben Shuai! ”

"Returning to the marshal, General Luo has unfortunately died in the Battle of Tubo."

Fu Meng Lingcha was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Then who is the supreme commander in your military camp?" Why didn't he come to greet Ben Shuai? ”

Captain Zhang was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to the commander, the current supreme commander of the health army is a humble position. ”

"What!" Fu Meng Lingcha was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Then how many soldiers are there in your army?" ”

"There are only a hundred people."

Fu Meng Lingcha couldn't say a word, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Why? ”

Captain Zhang shook his head helplessly and said: "Geshu Marshal fought Tubo, and basically drained the Hexi Army, but the loss of soldiers was lost, nearly half of the dead and wounded, after the battle, the soldiers were supplemented by the Longyou Army, our Hexi Army was raised by the mother, where is the Geshu Marshal willing to take care of us, Fumeng Marshal should have also seen it, Zhangye City should have 5,000 defenders, but now there are only 1,000 people, Liangzhou City is a little more, there are 3,000 people, this is because they are cities, so it is better, like our scattered garrisons, most of them only have one or two hundred people, It's all the same to the west. ”

Fu Meng Lingcha was speechless, and after a while, he scolded fiercely: "Damn Ge Shuhan, he is incompetent, but he has affected the Hexi Army!" ”

"Or, Marshal Fumeng, please come into the camp for one night, we have a lot of barracks, and we will leave tomorrow!"

There were only a hundred healthy soldiers, and it would be of no use to him, and Fu Mengling saw that it was still early, so he waved his hand and said, "I'll just have a lunch, and I'll leave immediately, and I'll not stay." ”

"Marshal Fumeng, please come with me!"

Captain Zhang took them to the barracks, and after having lunch in the barracks, Fumeng Lingcha continued on the road again, if he walked faster, he could rush to Kongtong Mountain before dark, and he gave an order, and the team sped up and rushed west along the official road.

But after only twenty miles, Fu Meng Lingcha discovered an anomaly, and a dozen or so followers who followed him never caught up, and he reined in his horse and looked around, as if there was a bloody breath in the wind, and a sense of foreboding arose from his heart.

"Husband, let's move forward or turn back!" The leader of the retinue asked loudly, and he also sensed that something was wrong.

Before he could reply, someone pointed ahead and shouted, "Great commander, there are cavalry rushing towards us ahead." ”

"Dashuai, there is also one on the left, it seems to be a Hu person."

"There are also on the right! There are also in the back! ”

Beads of sweat rolled down Fu Meng Lingcha's forehead, he had been an envoy of Hexi Jiedu for three years, and knew that there were horse bandits in the Hexi corridor, but most of those horse bandits were Qianghu, they would never dare to fight the idea of the army, and now ....., "Dashuai, what should I do?" ”

"Break out, break back!"

Fu Meng Lingcha roared, turned the horse's head and ran back desperately, he knew in his heart that this was not a horse bandit, this was Li Qing'an going to attack him, if he could rush back to the castle of the healthy army, maybe he still had a chance of life.

Three thousand Shatuo people dressed as Qianghu, they rushed from all directions like wolves, the murderous aura swept the earth, the yellow dust rolled, the iron horses galloped, although the Jin Wuwei of the guard Meng Lingcha was all majestic, and they were invincible in the capital, but in front of the hideous god of death, in the face of the real life and death struggle, in front of the wild wolf impact of the Shatuo people, the Jinwuwei cavalry were so frightened that their hearts were broken, and even many people shouted in panic.

Fumeng Lingcha could no longer find a gap to break through, he could only kill a bloody road, desperately kill out, he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Kill!" Fight your way out! ”

Suddenly, the yellow dust raised by the iron cavalry was overwhelming, covering the sun, and the three thousand Shatuo iron cavalry swept in, the three thousand Shatuo elite cavalry were selected from the fifteen thousand Shatuo soldiers, all proficient in horsemanship, fierce and fierce, the momentum of each iron horse was as terrifying as thunder, and the three thousand iron horses were even more terrified of the earth, they were like three thousand bloodthirsty wolves, devastating and decaying into the ranks of Jin Wuwei, and in an instant the human head rolled to the ground, the stump and broken arm flew all over the sky, screaming, crying, begging for mercy, mad hysterical screaming, the Jinwuwei soldiers wailed under the swords of the Shatuo people.

Zhu Xie was holding a thirty-pound gold-ringed long knife in his hand, he was like a wolf king, his vicious eyes were firmly fixed on Fumeng Lingcha, Fumeng Lingcha and forty cavalry were combined into a group, desperately breaking out, he was not in a hurry, the horse wandered around, but his eyes never left the target, he was waiting for the best opportunity to pounce.

The soldiers around Fumeng Lingcha were constantly killed, less and less, only a dozen people remained, these dozen people could no longer protect Fumeng Lingcha closely, his back was exposed, the opportunity came, Zhu Xie was loyal to the horse, and the war horse shot behind Fumeng Lingcha like an arrow, and slashed into the old back of Fumeng Lingcha.

Fumeng Lingcha was old and weak, and he had no strength, and the screams and sword lights of the Shatuo people in all directions made him dizzy, and he knew that his time of death had come, and his heart was full of remorse, at this moment, his back was in sharp pain, and his body seemed to be torn apart, and at this moment, he seemed to have the persuasion of his old wife in front of him.

"You will retire in three years, and you have a group of grandchildren, why don't you enjoy your old age at home?"

Oh, yes! Why didn't he enjoy his old age at home, he would never have thought of this answer, Zhu Xie's loyal heavy knife actually split Fu Meng Lingcha's back in half, he slammed the knife, chopped off Fu Meng Lingcha's head with his backhand, and shouted in his hand: "I got it!" ”

The Shatuo people retreated, and in an instant the wind disappeared, running without a trace, the grassland was covered with blood, mutilated corpses everywhere, blood flowed into a river, the dying war horses lay on the ground convulsive and struggling, more than a dozen surviving Jin Wuwei sat in the pile of corpses, some were sluggish, some were crying, some were laughing wildly, most of them were frightened silly.

Fu Meng Lingcha's dream of Anxi came to an abrupt end in Zhangye, and he was not able to set foot on Anxi again until he died.

．．．．．．． Qiuzi, Li Qingan is working hard to write, and he is writing a letter to Li Longji.

"Hexi horse bandits for Qiang Hu pretended, for a long time, the minister went to Beiting a few years ago to take office, encountered rampant horse bandits, three thousand horse bandits besieged the minister in Yumen Pass, the minister was in danger of misfortune, but the Hexi non-subordinate administration of the place, the minister can only note An Sishun, urging his Hexi to sweep the bandits, but the bandits are always endless, Tianbao nine years of spring, Kangguo businessman Nuo Nuodun and a line of 300 people, thousands of camels, tens of millions of goods, in Ganzhou bandits, Hu Shang died and wounded, the goods were looted, only one survived; In the autumn of the tenth year of Tianbao, Longyou Chen Xiaoxi and more than 30 neighbors met bandits in Zhangye, men killed women and annihilated, violent corpses in the wilderness, in April this year, Hedong Zhang Shilang and other 128 people migrated to Anxi, in Zhangye again encountered bandits, blood and fat smeared on the ground, dead without a full corpse, horse bandits atrocities are hard to write, the minister knows that it is Qiang Hu who did it, but the region is not governed, but bite off the steel teeth, swallow blood and hate, this time I was shocked to hear that the old man of Fumeng suffered, it must be done by the horse bandits, the minister can not bear it, Hexi does not act, Anxi is restless, the minister is willing to mention a brigade of volunteers, sweeping the Qianghu horse bandits, Let Lang Lang Sunshine shine again on the Hexi Corridor, and be ashamed of the old handsome! ”

Li Qingan finished writing in one go, slammed the pen on the ground, and said sharply: "Someone!" ”

Immediately rushed in a few soldiers, Li Qing'an ordered word by word: "Pass my order, order the 50,000 troops in the northwest court of Anxi to set off immediately and go to Hexi with this commander to suppress bandits!" ”

．．．．．． In December of the 11th year of Tianbao, when the first snow fell on the Hexi corridor, 50,000 Anxi troops suddenly sent troops to Hexi, they swept Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, and killed until Zhangye, all the prefectures and counties along the way were shocked, and the snowflakes flew to Chang'an, the military camps in Hexi disarmed and surrendered, Li Qing'an appeased everyone, and the Anxi army came east to suppress the bandits and avenge General Fumeng, and had no other intention, and would return to Anxi before spring.

In another dense snowflake, the gate of Zhangye was opened, Zhang Qixian, the Taishou of Ganzhou, went out of the city to greet him, 50,000 troops had set up a company camp outside the city, the big tent stretched for ten miles, and thousands of cavalry surrounded the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, Li Qing'an, the king of Anxi County, came to the city gate.

Zhang Qixian stepped forward and bowed, "The lowly Ganzhou Taishou is a general!" ”

Li Qingan nodded slightly and said: "Zhang Envoy Jun is exempt from courtesy, this marshal is here to suppress bandits, he has reported to the saint, please Zhang Envoy Jun to tell the people and officials in Hexi, there is no need to panic, the Anxi army will never kill innocents indiscriminately, let alone rob the people's property!" ”

Zhang Qixian's heart was slightly settled, and he hurriedly said: "Hexi bandits have been suffering for a long time, and the official also has a headache, not long ago, Fu Meng Lingcha was attacked by bandits, unfortunately died, I have reported to the saint, please send troops to suppress the bandits, but the Anxi army bravely arrived first, this is the blessing of the people of Hexi, on behalf of Ganzhou and the people of Hexi who have suffered from bandits, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the general. ”

The words are very beautiful, Zhang Qixian knew that Li Qingan was crossing the border to send troops, but he didn't dare to say more, this is actually a very serious incident, if there is no authorization from the saint, it can even be said to be a rebellion, but Li Qingan has a real excuse, Hexi to suppress bandits, which removes the suspicion of rebellion, but in any case, as long as Li Qingan does not harm the people of Hexi, Zhang Qixian is also willing to pretend to be confused.

Li Qingan smiled slightly, he turned around and waved his hand, "Bring them all!" ”

Seeing that in the wind and snow, thousands of Tang cavalry escorted dense people to this side, Zhang Qixian couldn't help but secretly complain, the people who came were all Qianghu herdsmen distributed near Ganzhou, men, women and children, there were as many as 10,000 people, Li Qing'an obviously wanted to throw these Qianghu to him, but how could he have food to feed these people for a winter.

"The horse bandits are among these people, I will hand over these people to you, give me a good life to interrogate, if you find out the horse bandits, you must hand them over to us immediately!"

Zhang Qixian didn't dare not agree, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Obey the general's order!" ”

Li Qingan turned around and ordered: "Escort them into the city and hand them over to Zhang Taishou for disposal!" ”

Thousands of Tang cavalry shouted and drove more than 10,000 Qianghu into the city, crying loudly, and there was chaos at the city gate.

The snow stopped at night, and after resting for two days, Anxi raised his army and went to Liangzhou City.

．．．．．． Li Longji was furious at the death of Fumeng Lingcha, and he scolded Li Qing'an in the palace, but he did not dare to announce the truth to the outside world, so he had to hide the truth that Fumeng Lingcha was killed, and announced that Fumeng Lingcha was infected and died halfway, and sent someone to appease his family.

The death of Fumeng Lingcha made Li Longji hate Li Qing'an even more, he thought about it for a few days, and finally made up his mind, directly sent someone to Anxi, transferred Li Qing'an to the protector of Andong, and reappointed Li Cong, the king of Qing, as the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and Feng Changqing as the deputy envoy of Jiedu and the envoy of the soldiers and horses of the five towns, and he was ready to tear his face with Li Qing'an.

But at this moment, Li Qingan's recital was delivered.

On the eve of the New Year, Li Longji sat alone in the imperial study of the Lin De Palace, with Li Qing'an's recital and the holy decree that he had not yet had time to send out and prepare to transfer Li Qing'an.

Outside the imperial study stood several ministers, Yang Guozhong, Chen Xilie, Zhang Yun, Wang Hui, Yang Shenjin and other important ministers of the political hall, all of them had serious expressions and melancholy faces.

Everyone remained silent, no one dared to speak, Yang Guozhong, who had always been the most active anti-Li Qing'an, was stunned, and Li Qing'an suddenly sent troops to Hexi, like a blow to the head, so that Yang Guozhong suddenly realized that the problem had become serious, and he had not thought of corresponding countermeasures at all.

If the Shuofang Army and the Longyou Army are sent to meet the battle, not only will Li Qing'an's rebellion be officially announced, but also Li Longji's layout of Shuofang and Longyou will be completely destroyed, and more importantly, whether Ge Shuhan and An Sishun can resist the 200,000 troops of the Anxi Army? Especially the Longyou Army, which has just lost its troops and lost its generals, and its vitality has not recovered, if Ge Shuhan and An Sishun can't stop it, Li Qingan led the army into Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and he Yang Guozhong will be the first to lose his head.

Yang Guozhong coughed and said to everyone: "Ministers, I think this matter should be a misunderstanding, Fu Meng Lingcha is Li Qing'an's old boss, he was attacked by horse bandits in Hexi and died, Li Qing'an was furious and sent troops to Hexi to suppress bandits, we can understand his feelings, after all, the Hexi army is not effective in suppressing bandits, and the bandits have been endless for so many years, and they are becoming more and more rampant, I think we should persuade Your Majesty to consider the good side and agree to the Anxi army to come to Hexi to suppress bandits. ”

As soon as his words fell, Chen Xilie said: "I completely agree with Yang Xiangguo's opinion, we should not draw conclusions too early, we should take a second look, I believe that Li Qingan is really trying to suppress bandits, and he has not been called to send troops, which can only be regarded as a small section, after all, Anxi and Chang'an are far away." ”

At this time, Wang Heng said: "Let's wait a little longer, let the saint think about it first, if the saint insists on going his own way, we will not be too late to persuade him." ”

In the room, Li Longji stared blankly at the ceiling, if Li Qing'an's sudden dispatch of troops to Hexi was a blow to Yang Guozhong, then Li Longji was a basin of cold water poured on his head, which made his anxious heart suddenly sober up.

He suddenly realized that the general's rebellion was terrible, Li Qingan had 200,000 troops in his hands, how many did he have in his hands? Except for the Hedong Army, which is in the hands of his son, the other armies are in the hands of the frontier ministers, if they also rebel, then what can he Li Longji resist?

Li Longji realized that he had reversed the order, it should be a long-distance and close attack, he should first solve Longyoushuo Fang and Jiannan, and then clean up Li Qing'an, the layout of the Central Plains has not been completed, so he hurriedly made a move on Li Qing'an, he was wrong, very wrong!

Only then did he slowly realize Gao Lishi's advice to him, whether Li Qingan was not terrible after it was built, and it was terrible to force him to reverse.

Li Longji regretted it for a while, what should he do now? At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a loud announcement: "Your Majesty! Liangzhou urgently reported that the Anxi army had arrived in Liangzhou, and Li Qingan entered Liangzhou City. ”

"Ahh Li Longji was so shocked that the pen fell to the ground.

At this time, Yang Guozhong's anxious voice also came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that Li Qing'an immediately agree to suppress the bandits in Hexi!" ”

．．．．．． On the last day of the eleventh year of Tianbao, Li Longji issued an edict, agreeing that Anxi Jiedu would make Li Qing'an suppress bandits in Hexi, and it must end before spring.

(To be continued)
