Li Shentong and Lu Shaozong's attitudes are diametrically opposed, and they can even be said to be very enthusiastic, but Li Xuanba's expression is a little flat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Li Shentong didn't care, so he went to the study to write a military document, took it out and said to Li Xuanba: "Xuanba, look at it, is there a problem with what I said?" ”

Li Xuanba slowly took the military text, unfolded it and looked at it and said, "Uncle is so attentive, I am grateful." ”

"Xuanba is really too polite, you and I are both doing things for the saint, so we should be safe." After sealing the letter and stamping it with a fire seal, Li Shentong immediately found a post officer, and sent him to Xijing in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles, and when everything was done, he smiled and said: "Xuanba, you have traveled a long distance and worked all the way, why don't I pick up the wind and wash the dust for you tonight?" ”

Li Xuanba shook his head and said: "The Holy Lord ordered me to lead the army to hold on to Hedong, although there is no war at the moment, it is not good for me to leave for too long." Now that my uncle has sent the letter, I have nothing to worry about, so I can rush back overnight while it is still early. ”

Li Shentong looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It's almost noon, you haven't eaten yet, and it's not too late to leave after eating." ”

Li Xuanba couldn't shirk it, so he simply ate the meal and left Tianjing Pass. Li Shentong waited for Li Xuanba to disappear, his smile retracted, his face became gloomy, and after returning to the mansion, he immediately wrote another letter, and called Ouyang Liangdao, a personal guard: "You immediately take this letter, take the path to Guanzhong, and present this letter to the saint, there must be no mistake." ”

Ouyang Liang listened to the order and took the letter out of the city. Li Shentong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, looked at the blue sky and clouds, and muttered: "Xuanba, it's not that I'm unkind, just because the saint spoke, I had to follow." But Xuanba and the Holy ...... What's the problem? ”

Li Shentong couldn't figure it out, and the surname Suo didn't think about it anymore, and at this time, a soldier came to report: "Qi Yongkang King, Pei Xingyan sent troops to fight outside the pass." ”

Li Shentong snorted coldly, "This Pei Xingyan, I don't know how to advance or retreat, do you really think I'm afraid of him?" After thinking about it for a while, he finally said, "Don't pay attention to it, let him call." Closely monitor the movements of the Western Liang army, and report immediately if there is anything abnormal. ”

* Ouyang Liang took Li Shentong's secret letter, went out of the north of Tianjing Pass, made a big circle, and then turned west and passed through Xijing. Although it is a long way, it is relatively safe after all.

Shangdang is a basin sandwiched between the Taiwu Mountains and the Taihang Mountains, although the geography is quite important, but the terrain is narrow and the mountains are continuous. Ouyang Liang was familiar with the terrain, and picked up the trail through the mountains, saving a huge circle. But the path was rugged and difficult, and he walked alone on a horse, and he was also worried in his heart.

When the sun set and the people were still in the vast mountains, Ouyang Liang dressed tightly, secretly wanting to rush for a few more hours at night, and then find a place to rest. Ming said that through the mountain range, you can hurry up the time, and you will definitely not delay the trust of King Yongkang.

As the night fell, the night shrouded, and the mountain wind blew, like a monster roaring. There was a dense forest in front of him, Ouyang Liang cautiously walked through the forest, and as he was walking, he only heard a sad cry, and he didn't know what kind of beast it was. There was a sound in front of the dense forest, and the willow branches brushed their faces, and they were about to be removed, and suddenly a person with a hanging head fell in front of him, his face was extremely white, and his expression was strange. Ouyang Liangrao was bold, and he couldn't help but feel terrified, and he screamed miserably, and was about to stab with a spear, but he was hit the back of his head, his body shook twice, and he fell softly.

He was not frightened and fainted, but he was knocked unconscious alive.

Li Xuanba jumped down from the tree, wiped the dress on his face, snorted coldly, reached into Ouyang Liang's arms, took Li Shentong's secret letter, saw that there was a fire seal on it, reached out and took out a box from his arms, opened it, and picked a little red powder on it. Cover it with your hand, wait a moment, remove your palm, and easily open the cover of the letter, leaving the cover intact.

Carefully took out the letter paper, only looked at it, and a cold light appeared in Li Xuanba's eyes.

It turned out that Li Shentong wrote in his letter: 'Divine power bows, and something starts. Xuanba asked to send troops to Taiyuan, and Weichen had complied with the order to delay his advice. Ordered by the Holy Lord, Weichen should go all out and be careful. It's just that Xuanba said that he left the party today and turned back to Hedong, for fear of another incident, Lu Shaozong is difficult to restrain him, and he also asked the saint to think of countermeasures as soon as possible, and his magic power was stunned. ’

The night was breezy, the branches were swaying, and Li Xuanba stood in the wind, I don't know how long...... When I looked up, I saw my own shadow faint, twisted and meandering. Seeing the crescent moon creeping up the branches, the old man was haggard in the wind, looking up to the sky and sighing, "Ambition is hard to pay, it's not that I don't do my best, but the sky is not a dummy." ”

For some reason, two lines of tears had flowed down his cheeks, Li Xuanba let the tears rage, saw the moon in the sky, and quietly hid in the clouds, peeping at the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world.

Li Xuanba knew that Li Yuan was strict with him, and the expression on his face was not much sad and angry, but there was more desolation and sadness.

After a long time, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and Li Xuanba muttered: "Li Yuan, if you don't keep your promise, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings." Slowly put away the letter, carefully painted the fire mark, and saw that there were no more flaws, so he sent the letter back to Ouyang Liang's body.

Reach out and tap on his head a few times, revitalizing his blood and helping him wake up. Seeing Ouyang Liang move slightly, Li Xuanba had already flashed onto the tree, blocking his figure with dense branches and leaves.

After the tea, Ouyang Liang finally woke up ignorantly, looked around, and his face was full of confusion. Suddenly remembering something, he stretched out his hand to wipe it from his arms, and was relieved to see that the letter was intact. He fainted without knowing that he was attacked by someone, thinking that it was the mountain spirit and wild monster who were haunting, otherwise why did he come to blame from the front, but he was hit in the back of his head? Panicking, seeing that the horse was fine, hurriedly got on the horse, hesitated a little, and continued to take the road to the west. Li Xuanba saw him leaving, leaning on the branches, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, appearing and disappearing, and his face was cloudy and sunny with the change of the bright moon.

**Pei Xingyan also fought in Hedong for a long time.

After years of conquest, the young man at the beginning has become a battle-hardened general. The face is less astringent, more resolute, less impulsive, and more calm. After confronting Li Shentong for several months, Pei Xingyan was still not in a hurry. Because the king of Xiliang has an order, there is no need to rush, just drag Li Shentong's army.

Even after the battle, Li Shentong couldn't go out of retreat, Pei Xingyan and Shi Danai were not impatient, but just paid close attention to Tang Jun's moves. At present, it is necessary not only to prevent Li Shentong from attacking from Shangdang, but also to prevent Lu Shaozong from attacking the flank of the Western Liang army in Changping from Jiangjun. Recently, Pei Xingyan got a piece of news, that is, Li Yuan sent the guard king Li Xuanba to lead Hedong!

After hearing the news, Pei Xingyan didn't know what it was like in his heart. Of course, he still remembers that he walked in the snow to find plums, visited Pei Mingcui side by side with Li Xuanba, and also remembered that the first person in the Eastern Capital looked at him differently, saying that he would one day be able to leave a name in history and make contributions to the field. But he never thought that when he was not yet famous, Li Xuanba died early, and he could only regret it at that time. With the arrival of Rong Ma and Ma Xuan, his thoughts about this confidant in the eastern capital gradually faded, but he never thought that one day, he would finally meet this confidant of the year.

Is this irony, or fate? Pei Xingyan couldn't think about it.

Li Xuanba didn't die, but this news made Pei Xingyan unable to be excited.

While he was groaning, Shi Danai suddenly opened the curtain and walked in, although Pei Xingyan was ruthless to the enemy, he was hearty, and he had fought side by side with Shi Danai for a long time, and he really admired this upright man in his heart.

Stan Nai was unlucky.

He was a wild seed, his mother died young, and his only biological father did not recognize this son. He fell into the eastern capital, was appreciated by Xiao Buyi, and was almost killed by his biological father.

Some people, who have been generals all their lives, may not be able to lead a leader, but some people, even if they are a grass coward, can't hide their talent for leading the army. Shi Danai's talent in leading the army is fully displayed, although it cannot be said that he has won a hundred battles, but he follows the rules, dares to fight and kill, and every time he fights, he takes the lead and is persistent, and he has also won the respect of the soldiers in the army.

Pei Xingyan admired Shi Danai's heartiness, but at this time, Shi Danai's expression could be said to be twisted.

It is not appropriate to use the word twist to describe Shi Danai, but the current Pei Xingyan does have this impression of Shi Danai.

Suppressing his surprise, Pei Xingyan asked, "General Shi, I don't know what's important?" ”

Shi Danai shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just ...... I want to talk to General Pei. ”

Pei Xingyan smiled dumbly, "Then Brother Shi, please speak." "Since Shi Danai talks about private affairs, Pei Xingyan uses the name of personal friendship.

Shi Danai sat down slowly, and seemed to not know how to talk for a while, before he said, "Brother Pei...... When do you say that the world will be unified? ”

Pei Xingyan didn't expect this to ask, and hesitated for a moment, "Brother Shi is tired of fighting?" ”

Shi Danai was slightly stunned, and thought seriously for a long time, "No one would want to fight forever, whether it is a general or a soldier." Even the king of Xiliang must hope to calm the world as soon as possible and restore the stability of the country. ”

Pei Xingyan didn't expect the rugged Shi Danai to have such a delicate mind, and said: "Brother Shi is right, but now it's not that we want to fight, but Li Yuan leads the Turkic soldiers south...... Can we let them bully the people of the Central Plains and not fight back angrily? ”

Shi Danai said: "Brother Pei is probably misunderstood, I didn't say that I shouldn't fight, but I really ...... I hope this war will end soon......"

Pei Xingyan said: "Everyone wants to say that the world is peaceful as soon as possible, but how easy is it to say? At present, the center of gravity of the war has shifted from Hebei to Shanxi, and it can also be said that the success or failure of the King of Western Liang is related to how long the world can be chaotic. Li Yuan wanted to use the Turkic soldiers to consume the strength of the Eastern Capital, so he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, but the king of Western Liang had already seen his intention, which was to lead the troops to clear the wilderness and consume the Turks. If the Turks return to the north, the east will not hurt the fundamentals, and if they go south from Taiyuan, we will respond and take Hedong. If the east of the river is down, Guanzhong will be attacked on three sides, and the defeat will not be far away. ”

Shi Danai said: "Yes, I also think so, now that the general trend has been decided, as long as the King of Xiliang does not make a mistake, it is only a matter of time before he defeats Guanzhong." I know......" He got up to leave, Pei Xingyan asked, "Brother Shi, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Shi Danai smiled ashamedly, "It's not a big deal, it's just ...... I want to go back and see. ”

"Go back and see?" Pei Xingyan's eyebrows tightened, "Back to the Iron Khanate?" If the king of Xiliang can dominate the world, it is inevitable to be called emperor. We are all the founding heroes of the country, and we are famous in history, I don't know why Brother Shi has the idea of going back. He knew that Shi Danai was originally from the Western Regions, and when he heard that he was going back, he couldn't help but be vigilant.

Shi Danai muttered: "I actually don't want to be a general...... Brother Pei must have known about my affairs. I went to the eastern capital to find my father, and I was ordered by my mother. Although I read military books and practiced martial arts, I was all to please my mother, I am not as good as Brother Pei, I have been ambitious since I was a child. ”

Pei Xingyan saw the sincerity of what Shi Danai said, put down his thoughts, and said with a smile: "In this world, it is not intentional to succeed, King Xiliang was only to protect himself, where would he have thought of the situation today?" At that time, the king of Western Liang will be unified in the world, and he will not be able to become the emperor if he wants to. You and I have merit, and we can't be unsealed. ”

Shi Danai said: "I know that King Xiliang is very good to us, but I am a rough person, how can I have the luxury of governing the country except for being able to fight." The world is calm, the king of Xiliang is satisfied, and I, Shi Danai, will repay the kindness of the king of Xiliang, as for the rest, I really don't want to think too much. A few days ago, I heard a message from the Eastern Capital, saying that a person from the Iron Han Kingdom had come to the Eastern Capital, and that person said that my mother's tomb had been repaired and intact......"

"Did the King of Xiliang do this?" Pei Xingyan asked in surprise.

Shi Danai shook his head, "King Xiliang doesn't know, he is working hard now, how can I tell him these trivial things?" The man from the Iron Khanate said...... There was a person who claimed to be Fu Pingju, and when he arrived in the Iron Khanate, he didn't know how to use it, and he won the trust of the King of the Iron Khan and worshiped him as the national teacher. And my mother's grave was repaired by him. ”

Pei Xing was stunned, "Fu Pingju? ”

Shi Danai said: "The person from the Iron Han Kingdom said that the man's hands and feet were still intact, and the first warrior of the Iron Khanate did not accept him and challenged him, he sat on the chair and defeated the warrior with only one hand. ”

Pei Xingyan said: "As far as I know, although the hands and feet are broken, they can be pretended to be fake." Do you want to say that he is your father, that is, Pei Ju? ”

Shi Danai nodded slowly, "I do have this suspicion, so ...... I want to go back and see when the world is calm. ”

"He's done this to you, and you're going to look at him?" Pei Xingyan asked puzzled.

Shi Danai lowered his head, "Even if I don't recognize this father, he is the person my mother misses after all......"

Pei Xingyan suddenly understood, sighed and said, "Since he still remembers your mother, you can forget your hatred for him because of your mother?" ”

Shi Danai raised his head and said with a forced smile: "My father broke his hands and feet, and it can't be a big deal." The Western Regions are too far away from the Central Plains, even if you want to make waves, you can't do it. But he is in the Iron Khanate, and I am only afraid that when the time comes, the king of Western Liang will still have doubts about him...... The world is unified, and I am useless. So I thought I'd go back then...... Maybe he has really changed, and he can listen to what I say? ”

Seeing Shi Danai's eyes in tears, Pei Xingyan was full of emotion, and for the first time he found that the seemingly reckless man in front of him had such a delicate mind. He thought too much and was in a dilemma, and finally kept the difficulty to himself.

Patting Shi Danai's shoulder, Pei Xingyan said: "Actually, you just need to tell this to the king of Xiliang......

"I owe a lot to King Xiliang, and now I am a general, and I can make my own decisions about many things." Shi Danai said with a smile: "General Pei, I only told you about this matter, I hope you can help me turn around." ”

Pei Xingyan didn't wait to say anything, and a soldier hurriedly arrived: "Qi two generals, someone shot a letter from outside the camp, saying that General Pei would like to open it in person." ”

"Who sent it?" Pei Xingyan asked.

"I don't know."

"Unknown letters, they will not be accepted, and they will be burned." Pei Xingyan said.

The soldier nodded, and was about to leave, when Pei Xingyan suddenly caught a glimpse of the word 'Xuan' written on the cover of the envelope. The word was beautiful and upright, and the pen was vigorous, and his heart moved, and he shouted: "Wait." Show me. After taking the letter, he just looked at the word 'Xuan' on the letterhead, waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and then said to Shi Danai: "It may be a letter from Li Xuanba." I know his font, this 'Xuan' character, very similar to Li Xuanba's hand. ”

Shi Danai Yirin, "Li Xuanba, what did he write to you for?" ”

Pei Xingyan shook his head, slowly opened the letter, and was not taboo, and Shi Danai watched together, the letter was written simply and clearly, "If you miss the old friendship, please go to the Happy Pavilion of Sheep's Head Mountain to talk about it, I am grateful." Well-known does not have. ”

Pei and Shi glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

What did Li Xuanba do with Pei Xingyan?

Now that the two armies are clashing, Li Xuanba is undecided, will Pei Xingyan travel?

Sheep's Head Mountain is in the northeast of Changping Pass, in the southeast of Tianjing Pass, it belongs to the buffer zone of the two passes, barren and cool, Kuaiyi Pavilion is just a resting place for woodcutters and hunters, with a wide field of vision and a clear breeze, why did Li Xuanba ask Pei Xingyan to see there?

Shi Danai only looked at Pei Xingyan's face, and saw that his face was cloudy and indistinguishable, and said, "You can't go to see him!" This person is ruthless and leads you to travel, but he is afraid that it will not be good for you. The two armies fought, and he did not follow the convention, so he led the army for Hedong, and at this time, he was looking for you to go, most of them had bad intentions! ”

Pei Xingyan kept staring at the letter in his hand, and said for a long time: "Brother Shi, I owe him a favor." If he hadn't mentioned me to Miss Pei at the beginning, and Miss Pei recommended me to the Ministry of War, I would not have been able to go to Yanshi, nor would I have seen General Xiao, let alone Pei Xingyan today! ”

"But you are now famous all over the world, because of the lance in your hands, your liver and gallbladder blood, not by him Li Xuanba." Stanley Road.

Pei Xingyan said with a straight face: "But Brother Shi can't deny that many times in life, you owe a chance!" Just like Brother Shi can win the three armies now, although he relies on his own fists, but without the opportunity given by the King of Xiliang, maybe you are still performing in the Eastern Capital. ”

Shi Danai was silent, knowing that what Pei Xingyan said was good.

Pei Xingyan said: "When a man is alive, he pays attention to clear grievances. What others owe me, I can do without. But since I owe him, I have to pay it back. He asked me to see him with an old friendship, and I couldn't refuse. ”

Shi Danai sighed: "Li Xuanba doesn't say anything else, just say that these eyes are extremely poisonous, and there are few things he can't achieve that he can't achieve." ”

"But General Shi don't worry, I will make a clear distinction between public and private. Now that the war is imminent, I will not meet him with my life. Please sit in the army, beware of the opponent's attack, I will take three hundred iron horsemen with me, and if there is an accident, I will turn back immediately. ”

Shi Danai's eyes lit up, and he had let go of his thoughts. The iron cavalry led by Pei Xingyan can be said to be the soul of the army, accompanied by these people, as long as Pei Xingyan is cautious, with his martial arts, even if Li Xuanba wants to make a move, he may not be able to help Pei Xingyan.

"General Pei, I have my own in the army, you take care of everything." Stanley instructed.

Pei Xingyan nodded, ordered three hundred people out of the account, picked up the lance and got on the horse, looked at Shi Danai again, and resolutely left the camp. Shi Danai's palms were full of sweat, and he lifted a heart, just asking Pei Xingyan to turn around safely.

He no longer blocked Pei Xingyan, because he knew that they were the same people, and there were some things that men could not retreat! In other words, he Shi Danai, today is also a must go!

Pei Xingyan was on the road, and had ordered the light cavalry to investigate everywhere, in fact, on the road from Changping Pass to Tianjing Pass, the Western Liang Army had already set up more sentry posts, and if there was a large army, it would be the first time to know. Knowing that the Tang army did not have a large army out of the customs, Pei Xingyan temporarily put down his worries, and traveled all the way, and arrived at Sheep's Head Mountain, which was more than ten miles away in the northeast.

Although the name of the pavilion is elegant, it is just a simple resting place. People in the pavilion, can be seen from afar by the mountain, feel the breeze and the moon, the word happy, I don't know who took it.

After a while, Pei Xingyan's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen a person in front of the mountainside pavilion, with fluttering clothes, and his hands were looking in his direction.

Pei Xingyan couldn't help but restrain his horse, knowing that the person must be Li Xuanba.

Li Xuanba is Li Xuanba, just like Xiao Buyi is Xiao Buyi, even if there are thousands of troops, it is him who makes you see him at a glance!

Pei Xingyan holds a long lance in his hand, and the green tendons on his hands are bursting out, he is the first brave general under Xiao Buyi, but courage is not equal to martial arts. His martial arts are not extremely high, and he bravely entered the three armies, all by virtue of the courage in his chest. He knew that if he talked about martial arts, he would definitely not be Li Xuanba's opponent!

It is undeniable that he thanked Li Xuanba for his kindness back then, but he never understood Li Xuanba.

Li Xuanba is similar to Xiao Buyi, but they are very different. Although Xiao Buyi is in a high position, he is proud of his work, and he tries his best to let you see the bottom of his heart, but Li Xuanba is hidden in the shadows, and his scheming is deep, which will always make you feel like you are in the fog.

Stopping the horse, Li Xuanba stood far away for a moment, and actually walked down the mountain slowly.

Pei Xingyan stopped moving forward and waited quietly.

Li Xuanba just walked over like this, walked in front of Pei Xingyan, ignored the three hundred iron horsemen behind him, looked as usual, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

As soon as he called him, Pei Xingyan sighed with emotion, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "People are in danger, and the armor is on the body, so you can't get off the horse and give salutes." ”

Li Xuanba smiled indifferently, "I understand Xingyan's mind at this moment." I can't thank you enough for coming today. ”

Pei Xingyan said in a deep voice: "I don't know if Brother Li is summoned today, what do you have to say?" ”

Li Xuanba smiled bitterly: "I wrote to ask you to come, I didn't want too many people to know. I'm afraid that this matter will reach Xiao Buyi's ears and be unfavorable to you. ”

Pei Xingyan's heart sank, "Pei Xingyan has nothing to say to others." ”

Li Xuanba nodded and said: "Yes, there are characters like Xiao Buyi, and there are people like Brother Pei. ”

Pei Xingyan saw that he looked lonely, and for some reason, he had sympathy in his heart. But he was wiped out by his will in an instant, and asked again: "Brother Li, please say something, I am in military affairs, and I can't talk about it more." ”

Li Xuanba looked at Pei Xingyan for a long time, his eyes were complicated, and he suddenly said: "Xingyan, there are not many people in my world who can be trusted, can I ...... One thing for you? ”
