The vanguard who came to surround Li Cunhuan was none other than Liu Jun, who was the most familiar general of Pinglu Li Cunhuan and was known as the first general in Pinglu. Far away on the way, Liu Yan had already seen the fire swaying on the mountainside. With his nickname of a hundred steps, after a little pondering, he already knew that it was probably Li Cunhuan who reacted. Hurriedly ordered: "The whole army speeds up!" ”

It stands to reason that Pinglu is located on the Shandong Peninsula, and you say that it is close to the north but not to the north, and not to the south. The quality of the horses has always been awkward, the same as in the Central Plains. The cavalry in his hand can bully the cavalry in the south, but when compared with the cavalry in the north, he immediately loses how many chips, only the part of being bullied.

But because Wang Shifan is Li Cunhuan's younger brother, Li Cunhuan did not restrict him from buying horses in order to allow Wang Shifan to block Zhu Wen for him in the south and guard the gate of the south for him.

As a result, Pinglu, where Wang Shifan was originally located, could only trade with the Bohai Kingdom by sea, and now he could also buy horses by land and the nomadic peoples of the Khitan, Xi, and Murowei. When Li Cunhuan arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was just intercepted by Liu Cheng and 500 cavalry.

Although it was in the night, the moonlight was good tonight, and there were torches on both sides, Li Cunhuan's eyes swept over, almost angry. The war horses under the crotches of those cavalry are all Bohai war horses. He traded with Wang Shifan in the Bohai Sea and transported horses from the sea. Over the course of a year, a thousand horses were brought in, but the sea was different from the land. All the way to the turbulence, plus the sea conditions are not as good as on land, and the sea is ruthless, in the event of a big storm, let alone horses, the ship is sunk.

As a result, at the end of the year, there are only seven or eight hundred horses that can reach Pinglu, and sometimes there are only three or four hundred horses if they are unlucky. And these are not war horses, basically half civilian and half military. Pinglu had an army of more than 100,000 people, divided evenly, plus the horses that died of old age, sickness, and crippled were replenished. It's just to form a horse army of a few thousand people, and it has to be distributed on the border, and Wang Shifan doesn't have many around him. Now it's okay, Li Cunhuan dug a pit by himself and jumped down by himself. How can people not be depressed?

"I'm really killing myself like Shang Ying!" Li Cunhuan himself had to sigh.

Shang Ying was framed for rebellion and fled overnight, but was unlucky because of the harsh laws he had enacted. Li Cunhuan's current situation is so similar to the original Shang Ying!

"Your Royal Highness, the person who came is Liu Jun, in the past, it was His Highness who personally led the troops to rescue him, and he was extremely valued to him, and the reward after the war was also very rich. Your Highness can understand it with reason and move it with affection! As long as Liu Cheng gets out of the way, His Royal Highness will be a dragon into the sea, and Dapeng will spread its wings! Yang Shihou saw that Liu Cheng was in the Pinglu cavalry, and he was obviously the commander of the army, so he couldn't help but have a flash of joy on his face, and hurriedly suggested to Li Cunhuan.

"Huh!" Li Cunhuan was also very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Yang Shihou: "Then I don't know who is better to have a relationship with Liu Juntao?" ”

"The last general asked himself how much friendship he had with Liu Jun! It's better for the last general to come forward in person! Yang Shihou took the initiative to ask.

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but hesitate, Yang Shihou was not the kind of person who could speak well, so he couldn't help but say, "Why don't I come forward in person?" ”

"Your Highness! No! In case Liu Yan turns his face, His Highness will be in danger! When Yang Shihou heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly dissuaded. Park Lejiao on the side also echoed Yang Shihou's words and persuaded Li Cunhuan.

Li Cunhuan had no choice but to nod his head and let Yang Shihou come out, just hoping that Liu Cheng would be able to remember a little bit of his affection in the past. Otherwise, Li Cunhuan would not have been able to break through. After all, Liu Cheng has five hundred horses in his hands, while Li Cunhuan has only a hundred horses in his hands. And I was on the road all the way today, and I didn't sleep long at night, so I was a tired soldier. Liu Yan doesn't need to do anything, as long as he pesters himself for a moment and a half, Wang Shifan's follow-up soldiers and horses will arrive, and the situation at that time will needless to say how bad it is.

"General Liu! Don't come unharmed! Yang Shihou stepped forward immediately, arched his hand on horseback, and bowed slightly in greeting.

Liu Cheng also rode out of the horse, and when he saw Yang Shihou, he sighed faintly, and did not answer, but just bowed his hand on the horseback.

"General Liu, Your Highness was tricked here by a shameless villain, and now he is in danger. In the past, General Liu said that His Royal Highness would relieve the siege of Yanzhou and get out of the way! His Royal Highness said that there will be a good reward in the future! If Yang Shihou had shown Liu Cheng his face in the past, but he didn't dare now, he smiled helplessly and put it on Liu Jun's cold buttocks.

Liu Yan couldn't help but hesitate and lowered his head, but when he saw the Tang knife on his waist, he couldn't help but think of what happened in the White Tiger Hall yesterday.

…… Pinglu Jiedu Embassy... White Tiger Hall...... Wang Shifan was dressed very neatly that day, wearing a dress as white as snow, and he did not use the flowers and birds inlaid with gold belts that Wang Shifan always liked, but used a simple white silk as a belt. There was no gold-threaded crown on his head, but a simple wooden hairpin tied to his long hair. The person looks like a poor scholar.

At that time, Liu Jun remembered that Wang Jian, Wang Shiqiong, and Zhang Xian present all showed a touch of surprise to a greater or lesser extent. Wang Shifan is good at everything, that is, he likes Confucian books, and he likes the flashiness of Confucianism the most, paying attention to fresh clothes and angry horses, belt jade rings, jade pendants, gold-inlaid belts, and goldfish bags. I'm afraid that wearing civilian clothes at home is not as simple as it is now.

However, Liu Jun and the other four did not dare to slack off, stood up, bowed to Wang Shifan and said: "The last general Liu Cheng (Wang Shiqiong, Zhang Xian, Wang Jian) has seen Jieshuai!" ”

"Get up!" Wang Shifan had a touch of sadness on his face, his hands were empty, and he said indifferently.

Although Liu Jun and the others were quite surprised by Wang Shifan's current behavior, they didn't care too much. I was just about to sit back in my chair, but I didn't want Wang Shifan to say, "Everyone, today we will sit on the ground, regardless of dignity or inferiority!" ”

Liu Yan and the four of them couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine Wang Fan was selling in the gourd. However, everyone has always been more convinced of Wang Shifan and did not say anything. He knelt on the White Tiger Hall, fortunately the White Tiger Hall was a wooden building, otherwise kneeling on the bluestone slab, Liu Cheng would be just a big old man. Wang Shifan and Wang Shiqiong, the pampered brothers, I am afraid that their knees will be offended.

Wang Shifan slowly pulled out the Tang knife in his hand, and the crisp sound of friction sounded in the somewhat depressed White Tiger Hall. Liu Jun, Wang Jian, Zhang Xian and other generals couldn't help but beat their eyelids, I don't know what Wang Shifan is doing? Chopping people? So who to cut? And who is wrong? It can't be that guy trying to rebel, right?

Liu Yan and the others couldn't help but aim at Wang Shiqiong, and Wang Shiqiong was even more unbearable. When it comes to rebellion, he is most likely. In general, the elder brother and the younger brother are the most common. However, it has also caused some younger brothers to want to usurp the throne, generally speaking, as long as they defeat their elder brothers, they can successfully ascend to the throne, unlike the rest of the generals, and it is easy to cause other generals to attack in groups.

Because the knots make their generals generally loyal to the family rather than to someone, this usurpation is the easiest to succeed. The most obvious example is that Li Kuangchou defeated his brother Li Congwei and obtained the position of Lu Longjie.

Wang Shiqiong was even more full of cold sweat on his forehead, but he dared to swear to the sky that he really had no intention of rebelling, let alone preparing to rebel. But who can say that? When it comes to the issue of power, since ancient times, it has been emphasized that it is better to kill 10,000 people than to let go of half of them! I think that Ashoka, the greatest emperor of India, killed all his ninety-nine brothers in order to ascend to the throne. There must have been unjust deaths among them, but just because of that crown, the butcher's knife in Ashoka's hand still fell.

"Don't be careful!" Wang Shifan's indifferent words came out, and everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity, and then they all felt quite ridiculous.

The four of them all showed a wry smile, and Liu Yan took the lead in breaking the oppressive atmosphere, and said, "I don't know if the festival marshal came to us, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Shifan gently put the Tang knife on the open space between the kneeling and sitting, and Liu Jun and the other four didn't know what Wang Shifan meant. Xindao: Boss, don't come out with a knife if you don't have anything! It's going to kill you!

The hearts of the four people, who had already let go, brought it up again. However, Wang Shifan didn't care, he took out a piece of silk from his bosom, but this piece of silk seemed to be torn from the hem of a certain robe, uneven, quite ugly.

Wang Shifan didn't care about the ugliness of the silk, there was a crystal liquid floating in his eyes, and he gently spread the silk. I saw that it was a blood book written in blood, and the blood-red words were even more shocking.

"I have heard that the people are great, the father and son are the first, the difference between respect and humility, and the monarch and the minister are the most important. However, now that the world is corrupted, there are countless people who have committed the following crimes. Now the traitor is Cunhuan, and the minister is the king. I am unwilling! Unwilling! Unwilling! The three unwilling swords stabbed into everyone's hearts like three sharp swords, and the blood words that were already a little blackened were so shocking.

"I am about to die, but I am speechless in the face of Taizong's questioning, 'Where is the foundation I have created?' Shameless faced the question of his father and brother, 'Is the Tang Dynasty Zhongxing?' ’”

Seeing this, Liu Yan and the four of them suddenly heard a burst of crying, and from the source of the sound, it was Wang Shifan who fell to the ground and wept. The four of Liu Yan couldn't help but feel related, and their hearts seemed to be pressed on a thousand catties of boulder, which made people breathless.

After a long time, everyone's mood was a little soothed, and the four of them continued to watch.

"I implore the Qing under the Nine Springs, read the grace of the Tang Dynasty, fulfill the loyalty of the courtiers, entangle the martyrs of both loyalty and righteousness, annihilate the party, restore the security of the society, and eliminate the annihilation of the Tang Dynasty! In a panic, he wrote an edict to Fu Qing. Don't let it down! Kangning's edict in September of the fourth year, the emperor wrote a pen. ”

"The teacher has deceived the traitor Li Cunhuan to come, and the traitor Li Cunhuan must not have many soldiers and horses! And tomorrow we will stay at Heyang Temple! The teacher will do his best to fight the decisive battle of Heyang Temple! Avenge Your Majesty and destroy the traitors! With the heart of His Majesty's Nine Springs! It's also a bright world in the world! If you have any objections, please behead the teacher! Wang Shifan bowed to the ground and held up the Tang knife on the ground with both hands.

When Wang Shiqiong heard this, he bowed to the ground and said: "Although ten thousand deaths, follow them!" ”

Wang Jian and Zhang Xian also bowed to the ground and said: "Kill the thieves in troubled times, as a courtier, where righteousness lies!" Please rest assured, we should do our best! ”

Now there was only one person left, and Liu Jun had a hesitant look on his face. Wang Shifan sighed faintly, stretched out his hands, handed the Tang knife to Liu Yan, and cried: "Please hold the knife!" Although the teacher is not to blame for his death, he just hates himself to death and can't calm His Majesty's heart! Avenge the revenge of the Tang Dynasty! The voice was full of endless unwillingness.

Liu Yan took his knees as his feet, gently moved a few steps back, folded his hands in front of his forehead, and bowed slowly and prudently: "Although ten thousand deaths will follow!" I just hope that after this incident, the festival marshal will allow him to go into the mountains to repair and spend the rest of his years! ”

…… At the foot of Cow Mountain...... When Liu Jun raised his head again, his expression was resolute, and he said solemnly: "I'm sorry! ”

But Liu Jun sighed in his heart: Your Highness, Liu Jun has failed you, and you have failed the Son of Heaven, who is right and who is wrong, Liu Jun doesn't want to study it in detail! After this battle, Liu Yan went to the mountains to become a monk, and spent the rest of his life chanting for His Royal Highness to atone for his sins! Even if His Royal Highness complains about me, Liu Jun can't do it anymore!

"Why?" Yang Shihou asked unwillingly.

"Bloody Edict!" Liu Yan was silent for a while and muttered. As soon as the words fell, he rode his horse back into the battle formation, and even though Yang Shihou shouted repeatedly, he no longer came out to answer.

"I see!" Li Cunhuan sighed faintly, "There is a cause and there must be an effect!" Is this my retribution? Hedong is hit hard! Xuanwu civil strife! It is the time for our generation to leap on the horse and compete for the world! But ......"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness......" Liu Yan heard this, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed faintly. Immediately waved his hand, his face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Attack!" ”

"I am dead! He also died a heroic death! Someone remembers Li Cunhuan through the ages! Li Cunhuan was also aroused by the domineering in his heart and shouted. Without waiting for Park Lejiao, Yang Shihou and others to make a move, Li Cunhuan had already rushed forward with a gun in his hand.

"Kill!" The Pinglu cavalry surged in, their roaring faces in the light of the torches, looking extremely hideous.

"Die!" Li Cunhuan seems to have returned to the time when he was still a soldier, at that time, in order to be able to get on the throne, in order to no longer fight on the front line of the battlefield. I was very desperate, I remember the battle between Boye Li Kuangcho and Li Congwei, after a big battle, I added four arrow sores to my body, and the eleven most powerful deep bones were visible, and the bloody muscle wounds were exposed. Li Cunhuan seems to have found himself again, and at that time he still had a longing for himself in his heart.

But the riding spear in Li Cunhuan's hand did not slow down, and the tip of the spear pierced through the opponent's roaring mouth fiercely, penetrating the entire skull. Li Cunhuan quickly let go of the barrel of the gun, held the Tang knife in his left hand with his backhand, and blocked the knife slashed by another cavalryman. The sharp blades rub violently and bloom with sparks, which are particularly charming in the night.

But no one continues to care about this charm, and the scythe of death continues to harvest living life one by one. Everyone was groaning about killing and being killed, and the Grim Reaper was probably the most excited.

Pu Le's expression was unprecedentedly dignified, the iron-tired bowstring in his hand was pulled away again and again, and the arrows with the breath of death, with Pu Le's unprecedented rate of fire, shot out vigorously, and the blood flowers bloomed in the night, and under the illumination of the firelight, it was even more demonic.

Yang Shihou already felt that he was no longer a high-ranking general, he desperately moved closer to Li Cunhuan who was charging at the front line, the horse lance that he was originally holding in his hand had been broken, and now he was holding two Tang knives full of jagged teeth because of the constant exchange with the saber. The red tassel on Yang Shihou's helmet has been reduced by more than half, which is for a strong general to sharpen with a big knife in his hand, if Yang Shihou is half a minute slower when he dodges, this big knife will fall on Yang Shihou's head. But the fierce general didn't take any advantage of him, and Yang Shihou slashed off his right arm.

"Your Highness! Surrender! I will make a statement to let the marshal let His Highness go! Looking at Li Cunhuan, who was fighting bloodily, a touch of sadness flashed in Liu Yan's eyes, the people who fought side by side in the past have become enemies with swords today, how sad and ironic! O evil of heaven!

"The great husband was born in the world! Do something, and don't do something! Even if it is death! There is only Li Cunhuan who is standing and dying! There is no grovelling Li Cunhuan! Li Cunhuan roared angrily, his voice was not majestic, probably because of the long-term fighting, his voice seemed a little lacking in energy, and his voice was a little hoarse. But it can't affect Li Cunhuan's domineering contempt for the world, the eldest husband was born in the world, and he did something, but he didn't do anything! This sentence is like a rousing war drum.

When the soldiers of the Iron Eagle heard this, they all roared. "Be a big husband!" The sword and spear in his hand killed even more desperately, even at the cost of exchanging one life for another. Although the Pinglu cavalry had an absolute superiority of 500 men, they were still beaten and slowly retreated.

"Gentlemen! Come on! You can rush out of Niu Mountain! Yang Shihou was excited and roared loudly.

"Big husband!" Liu Yan muttered softly, sighed faintly, waved his hand suddenly, and shouted: "Release!" ”

Fifty cavalrymen beside Liu Yan suddenly took out a repeater from the saddle, and Li Cunhuan, who was familiar with weapons, saw at a glance that this was the famous Wanjun Divine Crossbow, which was the closest weapon to Zhuge Repeater after the loss of Zhuge Repeater, which could release seven crossbow arrows in a row at a time, and was better than Zhuge Repeater in terms of range and strength.

The Pinglu cavalry, who were originally fighting, hurriedly dispersed, and before Li Cunhuan and the others could react, countless arrows shot fiercely.

"Your Highness!" Both Iron Eagle soldiers wailed! He rode his horse past Li Cunhuan and rushed towards the crossbow arrows, just to block those crossbow arrows for Li Cunhuan.

I don't know how many crossbow arrows came from the force, even if there were two soldiers desperately protecting, Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be hit by three arrows, one arrow slashed into the right thigh, and the other arrow stuck on the shoulder armor of the right shoulder, but the strength also hit Li Cunhuan's shoulder bone in severe pain, and I don't know if it broke the bone.

The last arrow, and the deadliest one, slammed into the heart shield and pierced Li Cunhuan's chest. Li Cunhuan screamed involuntarily, fell off the war horse, and the whole person was in a daze. "I ...... I'm going to die...... Dead? I...... I'm not reconciled...... I...... I still have a lot going on...... A lot of unfinished ......"
