readx; Chang'an, after an autumn rain, the weather is gradually colder, the wind is rising, the half-dead leaves of the branches are shivering in the wind, the pedestrians on the street also begin to put on their robes, walking in a hurry, in the middle of September every year, Chang'an will enter the late autumn season, but today's late autumn is particularly cold, the instability of the political situation makes everyone's heart heavy, especially An Lushan slaughtered more than 20,000 Han people in Jingcheng, but also aroused the monstrous public anger, for a time Chang'an mouth and pen, An Lushan almost became the embodiment of the devil, and at this time, Li Qing'an published a righteous rhetoric of the thief, counting the sins of An Lushan, causing the people of the world to applaud, for a while, the thief spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an, the literati and writers admired it, and wrote poems and praises, and the people of the world all waited and waited.

At noon, a carriage drove through the empty gate of the East Market, and the silence was restored in front of the gate, not far from the Qingfeng Wine Shop, Lu Huan sat in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the sparse pedestrians at the gate of the East Market, for a while, he drank all the wine in the cup, sighed and said: "The human heart can also kill!" ”

Pei Zunqing, who was sitting opposite him, said with a smile: "I've been feeling for a morning, let's talk about it!" Don't keep it in your mind. ”

Lu Huan sneered and said, "Are you pretending to be confused, or are you defending your grandson-in-law?" ”

"What grandson-in-law, are you talking about Li Qing'an?"

"Nonsense! Now that no one in Chang'an is talking about him, is there anyone else? ”

Lu Huan looked a little annoyed, but Pei Zunqing was not in a hurry or annoyed, and still smiled and said: "Now Li Qing'an's reputation is very good, and the article on the thief is written happily, and now Chang'an regards him as the only savior who can subdue the demon in An Lushan, and everyone is praising him, why are you unhappy?" ”

Lu Huan was silent, and after a while, he sighed and said: "Maybe it's because my belly is black, the heart of a villain, forget it, don't talk about it, let's drink." ”

He didn't want to talk about it, but Pei Zunqing became interested, he got up and locked the door, sat back in his seat and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Lu Huan stared at the wine glass, he shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, you don't see it?" ”

"What the hell is going on, don't let me guess, just say it!"

The secret in his heart was like an unstoppable flood, and after Lu Huan hesitated for a moment, he finally broke his mouth, "Brother Pei, you really didn't see that this Jingcheng massacre could actually be completely avoided?" ”

"How is that possible!"

Pei Zunqing shook his head and said: "Taihang Bacheng, there are immigrants walking on every road, who knows if An Lushan will suddenly attack and where it will attack?" Who could have guessed in advance? ”

"But Li Qing'an should know, will there be no spies in Youzhou City? As soon as the Youzhou Iron Horse came out, didn't he know? Even if he didn't know the line of attack, he could have sent an alarm in advance, so that all the passes were ready, and the people could enter the customs as quickly as possible, but after reading the report of Tumen Pass, he didn't have any preparations at all, and he didn't find out until the other party killed thirty miles away, very hasty and passive, I was suspicious of this! ”

"Do you mean to say that Li Qingan knows it and doesn't care?"

Lu Huan sighed again and said: "Maybe it's really my belly black, Li Qingan didn't care, it's true that he can't do anything, but after this incident, he became the biggest beneficiary, which made my idea that I shouldn't have suddenly become clear, is it really a game set up by him?" ”

Pei Zunqing didn't say anything, in fact, he was a little suspicious, it stands to reason! In such a major event as immigration, Li Qing'an's army did not participate in it at all, and Jingcheng was controlled by his army, if he stationed 10,000 troops in Tumen Pass, Shi Siming would never dare to be so arrogant, but there were only 500 people over there, alas.... Will Li Qingan also make such a low-level mistake?

Although he thought so, Li Qing'an married his granddaughter after all, and he had to speak for Li Qing'an, Pei Zunqing smiled and said: "I think our expectations for him are too high, so when he doesn't succeed once, we can't accept it, maybe he really didn't realize it this time, or he didn't get the information about the Youzhou Iron Cavalry attack, and we shouldn't be too him." ”

"Yes! In fact, those who play scheming, who is not black-hearted, hey! Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

Lu Huan still didn't quite agree with Pei Zunqing's explanation, both of them were silent, and after a while, Pei Zunqing smiled: "Extraordinary people, of course they have to do extraordinary things, as long as he can exterminate An Lushan and return the Tang Dynasty to a bright sky, I will resolutely support him." ”

"I hope so, alas! I hope I'm overthinking, come! We continued to drink. ”

．．．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an went to the Meridian Valley to inspect after publishing a crusade against An Lushan the day before yesterday, because the land of Hanzhong is actually still in the hands of Li Heng, so the Meridian Valley, the Xiegu Road and other strategic passages are the last line of defense for Chang'an, for this reason Li Qing'an also deployed heavy troops in these passages, with An Lushan temporarily in a state of strategic confrontation, Li Qing'an has the consideration of taking Hanzhong, only by taking Hanzhong, Guanzhong can further obtain security guarantees.

Li Qing'an has finished his inspection, at this time he is on the way back to Chang'an, nearly a thousand cavalry escort his carriage on the official road slowly, Li Qing'an is still thinking about the use of troops in Hanzhong, the determination to use troops has been decided, now the key is who is the main general, this is what makes Li Qing'an extremely nerve-wracking.

At present, the envoy of the festival in Hanzhong is Li Huan, who was canonized by Li Heng when he was called the emperor in Chang'an, with 30,000 troops, Li Huan is also a disciple of the clan, quite brave, very rare in the clan, although this person is the envoy of the festival of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but he has an ambiguous attitude, both to the Northern Tang Dynasty political affairs hall on the report, but when Li Heng ascended the throne in Chengdu, he congratulated Li Heng on the table, expressed full support, is a full wall grass, the best way for this kind of person is to completely eradicate it.

Li Huan's generals are only equivalent to the middle level in Li Qing'an's eyes, and the 30,000 troops under his command are not elite soldiers, but they are ordinary Guanzhong troops, and their strength is about the same as Ji Guangchen, so Li Qing'an's earliest plan was to let Cui Guangyuan lead the army to pacify Hanzhong, and then Cui Guangyuan could be the envoy of Hanzhong, but when he inspected the Meridian Valley this time, he got an unexpected piece of information, a month ago, an Anxi army patrol and a Hanzhong army patrol team encountered in the Meridian Valley, and the two armies launched a fierce battle, and the result was that both sides were defeated. Eighteen of the 100 Anxi patrol officers were killed and 25 wounded, while the Hanzhong army suffered 20 killed and 28 wounded, and the number of dead and wounded was equal.

This incident made Li Qingan feel very shocked, he began to realize that Li Huan's Hanzhong army was not as weak as he imagined, and sent Cui Guangyuan to recover Hanzhong, but it would be a big defeat, Li Qingan's decision began to waver, in order to ensure the victory of Hanzhong, he had to consider replacing the inexperienced Cui Guangyuan, and let Li Siye, who had just arrived in Beijing, lead the army to crusade against Hanzhong Li Huan.

Li Qing'an considered all the way and formulated the Hanzhong strategy all the way, which was his combat habit, and he had to make a strategic deduction before the war, and take into account every detail of the time, place, and people.

At this time, the road began to flatten, and there were noisy voices outside the car, people came and went, and vehicles were endless.

Ju County is today's Hu County, Shaanxi, is closer to Chang'an, is a medium-sized county seat, the waterlogging of the tributaries of the Wei River crosses through the county seat, the north of Ju County is the plain, the land is abundant, the irrigation is convenient, rich in grain, and the south is the branch of Zhongnan Mountain, the forest is dense, the mountains are beautiful, it is the resort of Chang'an people to travel and vacation since ancient times.

At this time, it was noon, and the county town was particularly lively, but Li Qing'an's team arrived, so that the people on the street dodged and gave way, Li Qingan shook his head, his route arrangement is basically not up to him, and the brothers also have lunch, he knows, so he doesn't say anything, whatever the guards arrange, he was just about to put down the curtain, and was suddenly stunned, just now he seemed to see a familiar figure flashing on the street corner......

Just as Li Qing'an's cavalry team slowly entered Juxian County, busy pedestrians on the street dodged to both sides, among which a young woman on the side of the road had just bought a few baked cakes, and she began not to pay attention to the identity of this cavalry team, when she suddenly heard someone talking.

"San Lang, whose carriage is this, it's really amazing that there are so many more cavalry to escort it."

"Nonsense! Now in Chang'an, except for King Zhao, who has such a big pomp, you are really stupid. ”

'Li Qing'an! ’

The young woman turned around impressively, her delicate face could not hide the hard work of the journey, this young woman was Gao Wu who had been away from home for more than half a year, Gao Wu left Chengdu half a year ago to go to Anxi, she slept all the way, went to Qiuzi, Shule, and went to Bahuan City, and burst into tears in the small hotel where she first met Li Qing'an, and she went to Sulou Fengshu Fort to find the mark of Li Qing'an's past, to recall her and his bits and pieces.

Gao Wu finally did not find Li Qing'an in Anxi, but learned that he had returned to Chang'an, and Gao Wu, who was already physically and mentally emaciated, finally said goodbye to Anxi and returned to Chang'an.

Just this morning, Wuyi and Rushi went to their own home in Chang'an, but Gao Wu was homeless, so she had to return to Chengdu alone and return to her father, who was the only person she could rely on.

She was tired, ready to return to her father's side, and always accompany her father to spend the rest of her life quietly, and at this moment, Li Qing'an, who she missed all night, suddenly appeared in front of her, which made her feel extremely inferior, nearly ten years of missing her youth, making her no longer young, so that her courage to go thousands of miles to Anxi quietly disappeared at this moment, she turned around and left the street silently.

Gao Wu led her jujube red horse, which had been with her for ten years, to the waterlogging, there were several laundry girls on the riverside, laughing and playing in the water, they were only fourteen or five years old, and they had no intention of washing at this time, they sat on the riverbank, a pair of white and tender little feet stretched into the water and fluttered, laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.

Gao Wu sat down by the river not far away, she looked at this group of carefree and innocent girls, and couldn't help but think of one thing that Wuyi told her, Li Qing'an will marry Pei Wan'er, who is also only sixteen years old, sixteen years old, what a distant past she is, how many years of wind and rain have made her forget the taste of being sixteen years old, the only thing she remembers is that when she was sixteen years old, she met Li Qing'an, who sold black panther skins, in a small hotel in Bahuan City.

Gao Wu gnawed a few bites of baked cakes with difficulty, although she was hungry, she couldn't eat anymore, she was stunned by the clear and slow river, suddenly, she covered her face and cried bitterly, at this moment, she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart, she couldn't suppress the despair in her heart, how many years of thoughts and pain rushed out at this moment.....

A thousand years later, a great poet used the simplest language to describe Gao Wu's sadness at this time:

The farthest distance in the world

Not the distance between life and death

It's that I'm standing in front of you, and you don't know that I love you

The farthest distance in the world

It's not that I'm standing in front of you, you don't know I love you

It's love to the point of obsession, but you can't say I love you

The farthest distance in the world

It's not that I can't say I love you

I want you to be in pain, but you can only bury it deep in your heart

．．．．．．

Several girls playing in the water stopped playing and looked at the lonely young woman next to them in surprise. They whispered, not understanding why she was crying, but the swords and bows and arrows on the horses not far away frightened them, and they quietly pulled each other, gathered up their clothes and hurried away.

Gao Wu cried loudly, her eyes and face were covered with tears, and she took out a handkerchief from her side to wipe it, only to find that the handkerchief was in the bag of the war horse, not by her side.

Suddenly, a thick cotton handkerchief appeared in front of her, and she was startled, but a familiar feeling made her mind become trance-like, and an unforgettable voice sounded in her ears: "Silly girl, why are you hiding here alone and crying?" ”

Gao Wu slowly turned her head and looked at Li Qingan's gentle eyes as water, her tears rolled down again uncontrollably, Li Qingan wiped the tears from her face for her, her smile was still so bright, still so full of care.

"I thought I wouldn't see you anymore! I didn't expect to meet you here, it's a real pleasure! ”

Gao Wu clutched Li Qing'an's arm tightly, as if he was about to leave him at any time, she whimpered, her face resting on his arm and crying mournfully, "Qilang...."

Li Qing'an gently stroked her hair, feeling that her hair had turned yellow and withered, Li Qing'an's nose was also a little sour, he understood the suffering she had suffered for herself over the years, and a kind of emotion and guilt filled Li Qing'an's heart.

"Wu Niang, come back to Chang'an with me!"

．．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an is the fifth day of returning to Chang'an from Henan Province today, and it was also last night that Li Qing'an's family received news that Jiang Wuyi, Li Rushi, and his daughter, who had stayed in Broken Leaves, had finally returned to Chang'an and would enter the city today.

This is undoubtedly a great joy for the Li family, early in the morning, the whole family began to get busy, put up lights, clean the courtyard, quite a feeling that the New Year is approaching, Li Qing'an's princess Dugu Mingyue has two months of pregnancy at this time, but she still leads the family to be busy, welcome her sisters home.

At noon, Mingyue was a little tired, so she sat in the circle chair in the courtyard to take a nap, at this time, Ruhua walked up with a mahogany plate and said with a smile: "Sister, have you even forgotten lunch?" ”

Mingyue shook her head, "I really don't have an appetite and don't want to eat." ”

"The eldest sister doesn't want to eat, so she can't let the child go hungry!"

Ruhua put the wooden plate on the small table next to him, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, just a little chicken soup and a plate of vegetables, I know that the eldest sister is afraid of greasy, so I specially made the kitchen lighter, eldest sister, eat a little!" ”

"Alright! You put it there, I'll eat it later. ”

Mingyue sat up, she barely ate a little food, and asked picturesquely: "I remember that Da Lang is also coming back today!" ”

"Hmmm! It's today, just now the soldiers came to report first, saying that they might be home in the afternoon. ”

Mingyue smiled, "It seems that today is really a good day, the whole family has arrived, we must celebrate tonight." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid rushed to her and shouted, "Madame! Here they are, here they are, the master is back! ”

Mingyue was confused when she heard this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You dead girl, confused, who is coming back?" ”

"It's the second lady and the third lady who are back, and the lord is also with them."

"I see."

Mingyue guessed that they happened to meet on the road, so they came back together, she quickly got up and smiled at Ruhua: "Let's go!" Let's go out and greet you. ”

．．．．．．

With Li Qing'an's brigade coming back, Xingdaofang became very lively, I heard that it was a few partial concubines of King Zhao from Anxi, almost every household of Xingdaofang residents ran out to see the excitement, groups of children ran and jumped with the cavalry, today Li Qing'an was in a good mood, he asked the soldiers to throw money for the children, several soldiers held a basket full of copper coins, and threw a handful of copper coins into the air, and the children scrambled all the way, at this time, the sound of firecrackers in front of the palace 'bang!'Bang! The ground exploded, and in the distance, Mingyue came out with dozens of family members.

"Picturesque!"

Rushi saw her sister in the carriage and shouted to her excitedly.

Pictured with great joy, she ran up and said, "Sister, you are finally here." ”

"Picturesque!" Mai greeted her with a smile.

"Second sister, your road is going well!"

"Hmmm! It's smooth, but it's too far away, and I can't stand it if I go again. ”

Ruhua was talking here, but on the other side, Mingyue greeted Li Qing'an, she saw that her husband was in good spirits, she couldn't help but like it in her heart, and said with a smile: "How did you meet on the road today?" ”

"I caught up with them."

Mingyue was stunned, how could her husband know that they were coming back today? She had doubts in her heart, and when she turned her eyes, she saw that a personal soldier behind Li Qingan was very familiar, and she looked very handsome, and it was clearly a woman dressed as a man, she saw the woman smile, lowered her head, and suddenly recognized it, "Wu Niang, is it you?" ”

Gao Wu was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Mingyue, it's me!" ”

At this time, Rushi explained with a smile in the back: "Eldest sister, Wu Niang also went to Anxi, and we happened to meet in Dunhuang when we came back." ”

Mingyue's mind turned, she glanced at her husband again, and when she saw him winking at her, she suddenly understood in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Gao Wu's hand, and smiled affectionately: "Today is really a happy day, even Wu Niang is here, it's really good, quick!" Come on, everybody, we're going to celebrate tonight. ”

She pulled Wu Niang and took a large group of family members into the house together, and the sound of firecrackers outside the door became louder, 'Bang! It shook the sky, as if the New Year had arrived.
