Wang Shifan is unwilling! But he had no way not to accept this reality, Li Cunhuan's reinforcements came, and they came so quickly! It took less than two hours to travel in the night. And it also broke through Zhang Xin's defense! You must know that he gave Zhang Xian a full 1,000 square meters of Lu Ya soldiers! This is the most elite soldier in Pinglu!

Moreover, it is not easy to line up the large army in the place where it is guarded, and the number of frontal people is about seventy or eighty at most for each attack. In Wang Shifan's opinion, no matter how garbage Zhang Xian is, he should be able to hold on for one night. But Wang Shifan didn't expect that Zhang Xian seemed to have taken refuge in Li Cunhuan, allowing the enemy to come here unimpeded.

Wang Shifan is even more incomprehensible, you said that if Zhang Xian took refuge in Li Cunhuan, then he should have reported to Li Cunhuan at the beginning, and he didn't have to cause Li Cunhuan's life to hang by a thread now. Besides, the people of the White Tiger Hall also wrote an oath with themselves and handed over the hostages. can't kill Li Cunhuan, don't even think about leaving the relationship.

But then again, you say no surrender. How did Yuan Xingqin, that guy, run behind him. Two o'clock! It had only been two and a half hours since the time of the attack. From discovering things, to sending out a large army, plus it's night. The army was not as fast as the day, but now everything was turned upside down by Yuan Xingqin.

"Jie Shuai...... Withdraw it......" Liu Jun seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and his waist, which was originally straight like a javelin, was now slightly hunchbacked, and when he spoke, he was obviously weak.

"Now it's time to open the bow and there is no turning back!" Wang Shifan said unwillingly.

"I don't know how many people the enemy has come, and the soldiers and horses in the rear camp have been routed. Commander, you'd better lead the army back now, defeat the enemy, and organize your troops and horses at the bottom of the mountain, so that you can attack again. If you insist on attacking, it's okay, but ...... Only one chance! Even if it wins, I'm afraid it ...... Jieshuai, you also have a surname to worry about. Liu Yan said indifferently.

Wang Shifan looked at Heyang Temple, which was almost within reach, and his eyes were full of unwillingness. Li Cunxiao has been seriously injured by Wang Jian's sneak attack, although it is regrettable that Li Cunxiao was desperately rescued by his own soldiers back to Heyang Temple.

But now Heyang Temple's conservative estimate is that there are only thirty soldiers left who can still fight. And more than ninety percent of them were injured to varying degrees. It won't take long for him to be able to slash Li Cunhuan's head. But thinking that this might cost his own life, Wang Shifan didn't have so much determination.

"Alas!" Wang Fan let out a long sigh, full of regret in his heart, he knew that Li Cunhuan was so difficult, why did he insist on going against him!

"Withdraw!" After Wang Shifan finished saying this, the whole person seemed to have no bones, lying on the back of the horse, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be taken away in an instant.

"Finally...... Finally hold on! Guo Chongtao sat on the ground with his buttocks, panting. By now, he can be said to have exhausted the mountains and rivers, Li Cunxiao was seriously injured and unconscious, compared to Li Cunhuan's injuries, Yang Shihou was almost dead, a long scar slipped from his left forehead to his left cheek, the skin and flesh turned out, and his left eye was almost gone, fortunately, the wound passed from the corner of the eye. was even beaten with a mace in the chest by a Pinglu army general, and he is still unconscious.

In Heyang Temple, there were originally one hundred and fifty soldiers of the Iron Eagle Capital, but now there are only sixty-three people left, including himself, and only twenty-three people are still able to move. Guo Chongtao didn't know how long he could block Wang Shifan's attack, a cup of tea (ten minutes)? Or a stick of incense (five minutes) time? But now there is no need to worry, and the Pinglu army has finally retreated.

Wang Shifan directly led the troops back to Qingzhou, he didn't know that Yuan Xingqin had only brought 400 cavalry soldiers, of which nearly 100 cavalry either lost their horses in galloping along the way, or got lost, or died in battle. However, in the dark night, Mo said that Wang Fan and his soldiers didn't know how many soldiers and horses had come, and even Liu Jun, a veteran of the battlefield, couldn't see how many soldiers and horses had come.

When he led the troops to retreat to Qingzhou, the more Wang Shifan thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, he had no way to retreat now, but he actually retreated at a critical moment. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, he knew that Li Cunhuan would never let him go.

At the moment, there is only one possibility, or escape. However, when it comes to escaping, Wang Shifan can only run in the direction of Yang Xingmi. For Yang Xingmi, to be honest, Wang Shifan doesn't think much of him. Don't look at Yang Xingmi's huge territory and reputation in Huainan now, but that's all false.

Yang Xingmi's starting point is too low, he was born in a reckless manner, and he doesn't have much insight at all. is not decisive enough, and there is money behind him, threatening Yang Xingmi's territory in Jiangnan. There is Zhu Wen in the north, and if Yang Xingmi wants to make a difference, he must resolutely fight with one side. Either destroy the money and stabilize the rear. Either go north and join forces with Li Keyong and Zhu Wen.

In Wang Shifan's view, Yang Xingmi has already been finalized, and in the end, he is just a majestic man in the south. I have to say that although Wang Shifan is quite anticlimactic, he still has some knowledge.

But if you don't take refuge in Yang Xingmi, where else can you run? Xuanwu? Zhu Wen has a grudge against himself, and he is afraid that he will be beheaded wherever he goes. Crossing the sea in the north and escaping? Where can you run? North Korea is Li Cunhuan's territory, and Li Cunhuan's lackey in the Bohai Sea. I don't know if they have the courage to offend Li Cunhuan and accept themselves. Where to Wu Yue Qian Biao? It's better to go to Yang Xingmi's place.

The more Wang Shifan thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he hurried up to the world, but he didn't have an inch of his own way.

As a last resort, he found Liu Jun, Wang Shiqiong, Wang Jian, and Zhang Xin to discuss.

Liu Jun did not speak, nor did he express his position. And Wang Shiqiong is strongly opposed, if he goes to someone else, Wang Shiqiong's foundation in Pinglu will be completely abandoned, and that's it. Where do others go, they themselves have their own interests, how can Wang Shiqiong, a 'slave who died in the country', get benefits from it? Isn't this all at once from a grandfather to a grandson? Will you have to be a man with your tail between your legs in the future? Besides, it doesn't have to be hard to fight Li Cunhuan now!

Zhang Xin's thoughts are the same as Wang Shiqiong's, and even Wang Jian's thoughts are similar. If you take refuge in other people, in Wang Jian's opinion, I am afraid that you will go to Yang Xingmi. When he arrived at Yang Xingmi, he was definitely not as weak as Wang Shifan, and he didn't swallow the little water army under his command? At that time, what did you rely on in this troubled world?

One abstention and three votes in favour. Wang Shifan also strengthened his mind, but Shou couldn't stupidly confront Li Cunhuan. And he has to say that he can not touch Li Cunhuan, and then he sent people to Zhu Jin and Yang Xingmi in Huainan to ask for help. Later, Zhang Xian suggested that anyway, Zhu Wen and Li Cunhuan's hatred is as deep as the sea, so let's send someone for help.

Liu Jun objected, "Zhu Wen and King Qin's hatred is as deep as the sea, and we sent people to ask him for help, that is, there is no room for surrender!" ”

"Is there room for me to surrender now?" Zhang Xian retorted unceremoniously.

Liu Yan was silent, and Wang Fan immediately sent a letter to Zhu Wen asking for help, but Zhu Wen had no choice but to lose his strength now, and now there were only four towns left, and even the newly conquered land of Hebei was ready to move. Especially Luo Hongxin, he hinted more than once, Brother Zhu, you have too few troops to defend the Central Plains now, I will help you guard Xingzhou, Zhaozhou, and Cizhou! Wang Rong, who was originally subservient, also wanted to take back Jizhou and Shenzhou, which were forcibly occupied by Zhu Wen.

That's it, Ding Hui, who guarded Xingzhou, Zhaozhou, and Cizhou, sent people to say that the defense of Hebei and Shenzhou made Liu Rengong restless, and it seemed that he wanted to plot the intention of punishing Xingzhou, Zhuozhou, and Cizhou. The angry Zhu Wen was born as a Buddha, the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and the three corpse gods jumped violently, but there was no way to free up his hands to deal with Liu Rengong. The only way to take Huairou is to appease Liu Rengong, hoping that this guy will not jump out at this time to make trouble for himself, so that he can have time to settle accounts after the autumn.

So at this time, Li Cunhuan didn't come to make trouble with Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen happily went to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and he would provoke Li Cunhuan there. However, in order to make trouble for Li Cunhuan, Zhu Wen said to Wang Shifan tactfully, you can support it, my brother will come over to support you when he has time! However, smart people also know that Zhu Wen's 'having time' has nothing to do with nothing, maybe a day later, maybe a hundred years later, it depends on the situation anyway. The problem is not good right now.

However, to Wang Shifan's delight, Yang Xingmi sent someone over, and the commander was called Wang Maozhang. He was a brave general in Huainan, but he didn't bring many soldiers and horses, only 6,500 infantry and 500 cavalry. And Zhu Jin did not express his position, but when Wang Maozhang's soldiers and horses went north, they did not stop them, but lent Wang Maozhang to go north.

But what made Wang Shifan even happier was that Li Cunhuan did not launch a counteroffensive. It's not that Li Cunhuan is magnanimous, but that Li Cunhuan is too badly injured. Yelu Abaoji came over with soldiers and horses, and carefully borrowed Li Cunhuan to return to Zizhou, feeling not very safe, too close to Wang Shifan. and carefully sent Li Cunhuan to Licheng, Qizhou, which is now Jinan City.

............ "Water...... Water ......" Li Cunhuan's lips squirmed slightly, making an almost inaudible sound.

But fortunately, Ying Lianyi took care of Li Cunhuan without untying his clothes, and immediately heard Li Cunhuan's voice, and hurriedly poured a glass of water and sent it to Li Cunhuan's mouth. "Your Highness! Water! The water is coming! The voice was full of surprise, Li Cunhuan, who had been in a coma for nearly twenty days, finally woke up!

Li Cunhuan drank a little water, and the whole person was a little refreshed, slowly opened his eyes, and after half a sound, he asked in a daze: "...... here Where is this? ”

"Qizhou Licheng." Ying Lian hurriedly responded, but it didn't seem to be detailed enough, and added: "Lichenghua is not in the Jinhua Palace. ”

Li Cunhuan was silent for a long time, and then continued to ask: "I remember that Wang Shifan and that guy ambushed me, how is the situation?" ”

Ying Lian hurriedly told Li Cunhuan everything he knew, and when Li Cunhuan heard that Pu Le shot in order to save himself, he desperately tried his own way and died with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, he couldn't help but feel gloomy and sighed faintly.

After Ying Lian finished speaking, Li Cunhuan said to Ying Lian: "Pass Yelu Abaoji, Feng Dao, and Guo Chongtao to come in!" ”

Ying Lian opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, your health is not very good now, let's pass on the doctor to check your pulse!" Don't be unaware of your injuries. ”

"Let's pass it on!" Li Cunhuan did not refuse, and chose a compromise method and said.

Ying Lian didn't say much, and it didn't take long for Yelu Abaoji and them to enter the room first, and just as they were about to speak, the doctor who had just crossed the threshold had already shouted: "The injured need to recuperate quietly and not make noise." ”

The three generals and ministers of the training had no choice but to look at each other, and they did not dare to say more, for fear of affecting Li Cunhuan's injuries.

I saw the doctor come to Li Cunhuan's side, Li Cunhuan nodded to the doctor, and said politely: "Mr. trouble!" ”

"Collect money from people and heal people. It's just a matter of taking what you need, no thanks! The doctor was also straightforward, and he didn't hypocritically say that the heart of the doctor's parents, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and so on, came to disgust Li Cunhuan. It made Li Cunhuan feel a little good in his heart.

The doctor stretched out his hand to check Li Cunhuan's pulse, groaned for a while, nodded and said, "The blood qi is running well, now take a look at the injury." ”

At this moment, Yelu Abaoji, Feng Dao, and Guo Chongtao were a little embarrassed, although they were all men, but there was a difference between respect and inferiority. But Li Cunhuan didn't care, and said to Ying Lian: "Help me take off my shirt!" ”

Soon Li Cunhuan revealed his bronzed upper body, and there were more than ten scars on his strong muscles, large or small, long or short, and the longest foot was pulled from Li Cunhuan's shoulders to his abdomen, but looking at the color of the scar, it is estimated that it was shallowly crossed by a long knife, otherwise Li Cunhuan would have been disemboweled.

The doctor untied the bandage of the wound, looked at it a few times, and said, "There is nothing wrong with the wound, but it will be a hundred days for the wound to break the bones and muscles." Your Highness, you should not use force with others anymore, otherwise the old man is the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, and he will not be able to return to heaven. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, you will personally send Mr. out!" Li Cunhuan said politely.

The doctor helped Li Cunhuan change into a new bandage and apply new medicine, and then left. tossed for half an hour, which made Yelu Abaoji and others very impatient.

Finally, the doctor left, and Yelu Abaoji immediately spoke: "Your Highness, do you want to send troops to attack Wang Shifan?" ”

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said: "I don't know what the situation is now." Tell me about what's going on! I don't know what Ying Ren said, and I don't know the situation either, what time is it today? How many days have I been in a coma? ”

Feng Dao opened his mouth and responded: "Today is the 27th of October, Your Highness, you have been in a coma for nearly twenty days, but Yang Shihou and Li Cunxiao are still in a coma, and the great luck in the misfortune is that the doctor said that there is nothing wrong with them, but they just want to recuperate for a while." ”

After being silent for a while, Li Cunhuan showed a sad look on his face, and muttered: "Pu Le shoots him......"

"General Park Lok Shot...... Dead in battle! Guo Chongtao said quietly.

Li Cunhuan didn't expect that Park Le was really killed in battle, so he let out a long breath of turbidity and was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Has anything happened recently?" ”

"Yang Xingmi sent Wang Maozhang to lead 7,000 men and horses to support Wang Shifan, Zhu Jin had an ambiguous attitude, and he didn't know whether he was preparing to support Wang Shifan or how to prepare." Feng Daogong said.

"Zhu Jin has the ability, but he is too indecisive, don't worry about him." Li Cunhuan shook his head and spoke.

"Wang Shifan gathered 80,000 troops to defend Qingzhou with all his might." Guo Chongtao added.

Li Cunhuan nodded and asked, "I'm in a coma, no one takes the opportunity to make trouble?" ”

"I'm afraid that Wang Shifan can't figure out the matter of His Highness being in a coma, and we have blocked the news and announced to the outside world that His Highness is sitting in Licheng and is preparing to attack Pinglu. So no one dared to make a mess at all. Guo Chongtao said in a deep voice.

Li Cunhuan was silent for a while, and then said: "Send someone to write to Wang Shifan, as long as he is willing to surrender, I will let him go." ”

Yelu Abaoji, Guo Chongtao, Feng Dao and the other three looked at each other when they heard this, they didn't expect that Li Cunhuan's first order after waking up was actually this order. In their opinion, Li Cunhuan did not immediately send troops to Pinglu and kill Wang Shifan. I will also give the order to prepare for war with all my might.

"Your Highness! Wang Shifan, a traitor and thief, actually dared to betray His Highness! almost lost His Highness's life, how could His Highness be so merciful? You should make an example of you, otherwise there will be more rebellions in the future! Guo Chongtao tried his best to persuade him.

"That's right, Your Highness! Don't look at Wang Shifan's army of only 80,000, they are just a rabble. The last general only needs to lead the iron cavalry to cooperate with 10,000 loyal and filial piety troops. You can defeat them! Yelu Abaoji said categorically.

"Your Highness, the document just sent by Zhang (Chengye) Superintendent says that this year's Lulong harvest is a bumper harvest. There is no problem with money and food, and the Bohai and Khitan sides are also very peaceful. Hedong and Xuanwu are even more important, and they are too busy to take care of themselves. Why should Your Highness be polite to this guy Wang Shifan! Feng Dao also persuaded tactfully.

"No!" Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "I regret killing Emperor Kangning in the first place." ”

Yelu Abaoji, Feng Dao, and Guo Chongtao were silent, they didn't know what to say, they just wanted to kill Emperor Kangning, so that the Xuanwu Army would have no heart to save Emperor Kangning, and let them not fight to the death.

But he didn't expect that the death of Emperor Kangning would implicate so many things, and the previous period of criticism from the warlords in the south was just that. Even the change in Heyang Temple was caused by Emperor Kangning. Jin Yiwei has already investigated clearly, it is the eldest son of Emperor Kangning, the former prince Li Ping, who sent his henchmen and eunuchs to secretly hand over Emperor Kangning's blood edict to Wang Shifan, which led to today's incident.

"Your Highness, please behead the head of your minister! Sacrifice to the Son of Heaven! Guo Chongtao suddenly knelt down, touched the ground with his head, and said.

It was Guo Chongtao who led people to kill Emperor Kangning.

Yelu Abaoji and Feng Dao couldn't help but look at Li Cunhuan, there has never been a shortage of scapegoats since ancient times. In history, in order to kill Tang Zhaozong, in order to shirk the blame, he went to Guanzhong to ask for a jiedu envoy. After coming back, he cried cat and mouse, but in order to prove his innocence, he ruthlessly killed the general Shu Cong, his son Zhu Yougong, and his confidant Jiang Xuanhui.

And Li Cunhuan was in Huazhou at the time, and he had an unaware possible surname, so he killed Guo Chongtao, even if he couldn't calm the turmoil. It can also minimize the impact of killing Emperor Kangning on Li Cunhuan.

In their opinion, Li Cunhuan should have killed Guo Chongtao, the scapegoat. However, Guo Chongtao is also smart, walking around and sticking out his head to cut Li Cunhuan, he died. Li Cunhuan may not be able to treat his family badly.
