It's dawn!

As the flood receded, Shattered Leaf City reappeared.

It's just that at this time, Broken Leaf City no longer has the style of the important town in the west earlier. Previously, this city, with tens of thousands of permanent residents and nearly 100,000 floating population, is now in shambles. When the flood waters receded, the land was muddy and turned into a swamp. Walking on it, one will accidentally fall into a mud puddle, and it will take half a day to get out.

In the swamp, corpses can be seen everywhere.

There are no cattle and sheep carcasses, but more people are carcasses......

Fortunately, the recent instability in Shattered Leaf City, especially the demise of the Alleppey family, has caused many people to move away, and more people have stopped outside the Broken Leaf Valley. Otherwise, this flood, the deaths and injuries in Shattered Leaf City will be even more staggering.

Bao's army only entered Shattered Leaf City at noon, and the situation had improved a lot by then.

In the evening, Yang Shouwen also arrived outside Broken Leaf City with a yellow beard.

The first thing he did when he arrived in Shattered Leaf City was to find the whereabouts of Yang Sixteen and Feng Changqing. But where to look for a huge city?

Fortunately, Li Ke had a whim and reminded Yang Shouwen: "Yang Jun, since the strategy of flooding the Broken Leaf City was thought of by the ugly slave, then he is likely to guess that Yang Jun will attack the city in this way." Therefore, he will find the high ground of Broken Leaf City to hide, and the highest place in Broken Leaf City is the Great Qing Fang...... They weren't familiar with the situation in Shattered Leaf City, so they couldn't find a more secret hiding place. Therefore, Maitreya porcelain workshop may be more secure for them. ”

"Maitreya Porcelain Workshop?"

When Yang Shouwen heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

He hurriedly asked Li Ke to lead the way, and the group hurried to the Maitreya porcelain workshop.

When he arrived at the Maitreya Porcelain Workshop, Yang Shouwen was also startled, because the Maitreya Porcelain Workshop had become a ruin.

Fortunately, Li Ke led the way and led them to the cellar in the backyard.

Originally. Li Ke was very thoughtful when building the cellar, dividing the cellar into two layers, the upper layer could be used to hide people, and the lower layer was dug out and extended to the outside of the Daqing Fang. In addition, the terrain of Daqingfang is indeed very high, although the flood is fierce. But it didn't bring too much damage to Daqingfang, so that when Yang Shouwen and the others found Feng Changqing and the others, the two were lying in the mud, unconscious...... Fortunately, there is no fear of life.

Yang Shouwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person became much more relaxed.

He carried Feng Changqing and Yang Sixteen out of the cellar, and then ordered the two of them to be sent for treatment and placed on the high ground outside the city......

There is no way, Broken Leaf City has become Zeguo. Couldn't stay at all.

Except for the Daqingfang, where some people can be stationed, other places ...... Not to mention, seven or eight out of ten of the houses in the city were destroyed by the flood.

Yang Shouwen was a little silent, and he didn't look very happy.

The cruelty of war!

Previously, although he experienced the Battle of Changping, the result was to keep the city after all.

Therefore, the situation after the destruction of the city is not fully understood. On the way back to the out-of-town station from Daqingfang, Yang Shouwen saw countless survivors who had escaped the flood. Find your loved ones in the ruins. And those who were sure that their loved ones had died wept loudly. Cry. Reverberates above the ruins of Shattered Leaf City......

From outside the city, the sound of music played by Soulai was heard.

The music sounded very sad, which made Yang Shouwen, who was not in a very good mood, feel an inexplicable depression.

Victory!

But what about the joy of saying good?

Yang Shouwen didn't feel it, and there was only a sad feeling in his heart.

"Yang Jun don't be so sad, in fact, for Broken Leaf City. This is perhaps the best outcome. ”

Li Ke followed behind Yang Shouwen, and seeing Yang Shouwen's depressed mood, he was a little confused at first, but he quickly understood.

For this envoy from Luoyang, Li Ke really couldn't understand it.

He had heard of Yang Shouwen's name. I know that this is a brilliant man; However, after experiencing the rebellion that night, he also knew that Yang Shouwen was also strong. He can do anything to seize the military power of the Bao army for his apprentices, and he can also flood the Broken Leaf River Valley at any cost in order to attack Broken Leaf City. But when he turned around, he was crying and sad for the innocent people who died in this war...... What kind of person is this envoy?

Li Ke felt that Yang Shouwen's body was full of contradictions, which made him feel a kind of evil.

Well, it's evil!

However, seeing that Yang Shouwen was not very interested, Li Ke still felt that he should be persuaded to do so.

"If Bo Lu gets a foothold, the whole of Anxi will be in turmoil.

Moreover, once the imperial army is pulled over, the end of the people of Broken Leaf City will probably be even more miserable. When the time comes, in order to deter Anxi, the imperial court will definitely go on a killing spree. At that time, these people who lived in Shattered Leaf City ......

Now, the city is broken, and they seem homeless.

But in fact, it can be regarded as leaving them a way out. As long as the trade routes in the Western Regions continue and the Hexi Corridor is unblocked, it will soon be revitalized. You see, those people, though they were sad, did not lose hope. ”

Wish?

Yang Shouwen stopped.

He stood in an open field, watching the people come and go.

After a moment, he turned to look out over the Shattered Leaf Valley...... Night had already covered the valley of Broken Leaves, but the valley was full of sporadic fires. When people are looking for their loved ones, aren't they looking for a kind of hope?

In the coming year, the land will come back to life and regain its former interest.

"Li Jun, thank you."

Yang Shouwen's mood has not improved, but he no longer has the depressed feeling he had before.

He suddenly said, "Li Jun, don't you really want to wait for the matter to be over and return to Luoyang with me?" ”

This Li Ke is definitely a talent.

He was incredibly perceptive and eloquent.

If this is in the Three Kingdoms or the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it will be the level of a longitudinal and horizontal family and a strategist. It's a pity that in the Tang Dynasty, the era of the Zongheng family and the strategists has passed, and even if Li Ke has such ability, he can only become a secret agent.

However, Yang Shouwen feels that he may need such a talent by his side.

Li Ke hesitated!

To be honest, he was a little moved.

But at the same time, he is also an extremely determined person, he has his own goals, and he is not willing to try to change easily.

However, Li Ke could feel that Yang Shouwen was sincerely inviting him.

Although I don't know what Yang Shouwen's specific situation is in the court now, judging from Yang Shouwen's holding the prince's destiny treasure, his status is by no means idle.

After Li Ke pondered for a moment, he said softly: "Yang Jun's kindness, Li Ke is grateful.

But now, Ke doesn't want to leave Anzai. However, the guest wanted to recommend someone for Yang Jun. If Yang Jun gets this person, he will win a hundred times. ”

Yang Shouwen was stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Ke to give such an answer.

He was a little curious and asked, "Li Jun, who do you want to recommend for me?" ”

"I have a brother who is in the prime of his life, and his talent and resourcefulness are a hundred times better than mine.

He wrote a strange book called "The Long and Short Scriptures", but unfortunately no one knows about it. It was after reading his book that I learned what I have today. If Yang Jun can ask him to go out of the mountain to help, I believe that he will be able to make further progress. ”

Long and short menstruation?

Yang Shouwen's heart moved, and his curiosity became even stronger.

"Long and Short Scriptures", I seem to have heard of it.

In his previous life, he had seen the introduction of this book and said that it was a petty bourgeoisie.

It is said that even Taizu once commented on this book, saying that Zizhi Tongjian is about yang conspiracy, while the long and short scriptures are about conspiracy and trickery.

However, because I have seen too many such introductions in my previous life, and many of them are not worthy of the name.

So Yang Shouwen also read the introduction and didn't take it to heart. But I didn't expect that Li Ke actually knew the author of this book?

Li Ke's talent, Yang Shouwen has already seen it.

So his solemn recommendation shows that the author of the long and short scriptures does have real talent and learning. At the same time, it also made Yang Shouwen a little curious about the content of the long and short menstruation. He regretted a little that he had neglected the book in his previous life.

"Dare to ask Li Jun, this strange person you are talking about, has a big name?"

"My brother, surnamed Zhao Ming, is Taibin, and his name is Dongyanzi, and he is from Yanting, Zizhou."

The surname is Zhao, that's right!

Yang Shouwen vaguely remembered that the author of "The Long and Short Scriptures" seemed to be surnamed Zhao, but he couldn't remember what the specific name was.

Zizhou, Yanting?

Yang Shouwen silently remembered the name of the place.

However, he immediately remembered one more thing: he remembered that Chen Ziang seemed to be from Zizhou...... As soon as the first year of the holy calendar was goodbye, Chen Ziang returned to Zizhou and there was no news.

Although Yang Shouwen doesn't like Chen Ziang very much, he is a celebrity after all.

Zizhou is really a good place for outstanding people and hidden dragons and crouching tigers...... (To be continued.) )
