Since Hua'an's main army and horses were stationed in Luocheng, the banner of the Jin army was replaced on the city wall, so naturally it could not escape the eyes of the scouts in the direction of Chengdu.

In the afternoon of the same day, the news of the loss of the city was transmitted back to Chengdu, and the generals of the Su Guard Army, who received the bad news, hurriedly rode their horses to the palace and reported to Emperor Li Shi.

At this time, Li Shi was distraught in the main hall of the palace, discussing the current state affairs with several important courtiers, and all the ministers could not say a reason for how to repel the Jin army, and Li Shi himself could not come up with a strategy to repel the enemy, so he could only sigh and accuse the Jin army of the unprovoked westward expedition.

Chang Xuan, a regular attendant of the loose horse, looked at Li Shi and said softly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, the so-called life and death are rich and noble in the sky, what should come will always come, and what should not come will never come, the emperor should be calmer and have the demeanor of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Chang Xuan, do I need you to teach me a lesson? It was the incompetence of you courtiers that gave the Jin army a chance. Li Shi rebuked loudly, blaming the decline of the country on the courtiers.

When Chang Xuan heard this, he sighed secretly, took a step back and stopped talking.

Feng Fu looked at Li Shi and comforted: "Your Majesty, the North Road Army of the Jin Army is blocked in Luocheng, with General Li Fu and three thousand elite soldiers here, the Jin Army on the South Road is still five or six hundred miles away from Chengdu, and General Zan Jian is stationed in Wuyang City, so there is no need to worry, and the two armies of the Jin Army are not to worry, the emperor can rest assured." ”

"Feng Aiqing, you will still comfort me, I have listened to your words, and my heart is much more steady, I hope Li Fu and Zan Jian can block the Jin army!" Li Shi said lightly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Luocheng urgent, Luocheng urgent. At this moment, the general of the Su Guard rushed in.

Li Shi and the ministers beside him were shocked when they saw this, and everyone seemed to have a hint of foreboding in their hearts.

"What's the matter, so flustered, say it quickly." The king of the middle book reprimanded the general of the Su Guard Army and asked loudly.

The general of the Su Guard Army knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, my lords." The city was lost. The city has been lost. ”

"What, the city has been lost, when did it fall." Feng Fu hurriedly asked.

"It was last night, according to the scouts. On the walls of the city last night. It is already full of the banners of the Jin army. The general of the Su Guard hurriedly replied.

Li Shi learned the news. Stunned, he looked at the ministers beside him, and said tremblingly: "The city is lost. How could it be so fast, Li Fu gave me an excerpt, and he broke the Jin army three times in a row, why did the city suddenly fall away? What's going on, what's going on here? After speaking, he looked at the courtier beside him in horror.

Feng Fu sighed and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are still in the dark now!" General Li Fu must have taken refuge in the Jin army, otherwise, with the solidity of the city and my 3,000 elite soldiers, the Jin army would not be able to break through the city in ten or eight days. ”

"What, Li Fu is my own brother, he actually wants to take refuge in the Jin army, why, why is this? Will all men rebel against me? Li Shi exclaimed, seeming a little desperate.

Chang Xuan, the free rider, really didn't want to look at Li Shi confused, so he couldn't help but step forward and said: "Your Majesty, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the rebellion and separation of relatives are also because of the dissatisfaction in your heart, this qiē is all caused by yourself!" ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed between Li Shi's eyebrows, looked at Chang Xuan, and said angrily: "It's all caused by me, so why don't you ministers usually admonish, and when have I treated a few of you badly." ”

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry." Feng Fu and Wang Yi, the middle secretary, hurriedly clenched their fists and bowed.

Chang Xuan, a casual attendant, sighed secretly, he knew that a faint king like Li Shi was hopeless, no matter what useful truths he told him, he would not listen to them.

"The minister is guilty, please give the emperor the guilt." Chang Xuan clenched his fists and pleaded guilty to Li Shi.

"Hmph." Li Shi scolded and paced up the main hall.

Wang Yi, the middle secretary, looked at Li Shi, hugged his fists and asked: "Your Majesty, the Jin army has taken Ruocheng, and the next step is to approach the capital. ”

Li Shi chuckled violently in his heart, frowned, looked at Feng Fu, and asked, "Feng Aiqing, do you have a good plan?" ”

Feng Fu stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there is no danger to defend from the city to the capital, if our army wants to keep the capital, the only way is to defend the walls of the capital, and there is no other way." ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Feng Aiqing, if the Jin army is allowed to come to the city, can our army really hold the capital?" ”

Feng Fu frowned and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are still seven thousand elites in the capital, as long as my Han monarchs and ministers are single-minded and the generals serve their orders, the ministers are eighty percent sure that they can hold the capital." ”

"Great, Feng Aiqing, I will order you to guard the capital now, all the horses in the capital will obey your deployment, if there is any disobedience, it will not matter if you are killed." Li Shi ordered loudly.

"Thank you for the emperor's trust, the minister will do his best to guard the capital." Feng Fu served in the middle and hugged his fists to lead the way.

Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, waved his hand, and said softly: "Okay, everyone Aiqing, you all go back!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers above the main hall bent down with their fists clenched and turned to leave the main hall.

Early in the morning of the second day, in the direction of Luocheng, the Northern Expeditionary Army and the men and horses commanded by Li Yi were all being reorganized and trained, so that when they set out on the expedition, they could advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

Hua'an had nothing to do, so he took a few of his soldiers to the bazaar in order to learn about the living conditions of the people of the city.

The market in Luocheng is a small city, and the market in Luocheng is naturally not as good as the bustling Jiankang City market, but the market here has a unique characteristic, which makes people feel comfortable and comfortable in it.

The vendors in the bazaar are busy shouting, and the people who come to buy the goods they need are shuttling up and down the bazaar to buy the items they want.

Hua'an was wearing the clothes of a Jin army general, walking on the street, and did not encounter any hostility from the people of Shuzhong, the common people only looked at it curiously at most, and it seemed that Hua'an's existence was indifferent to them.

At this time, Hua Anxin couldn't help but feel that the common people are the common people, they don't care who will be the emperor, as long as they can live a stable and comfortable life, they will be very satisfied, and they will obey your leadership.

Hua An sighed with emotion, looked up and looked forward, a team of Shuzhong soldiers under the leadership of Li Liang was patrolling the streets.

Hua An walked over with his own soldiers and waved his hand to Li Liang.

"General Hua, the last general is patrolling the streets under order." Li Liang hurriedly clenched his fists and reported the task to Hua'an.

Hua An nodded and said, "General Li has worked hard, how about it, I found that there is no situation." ”

"Back to the general, the people of Luocheng live and work in peace and contentment, and at present, no traitors have been found." Li Liang reported truthfully.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "Okay, the people of Shuzhong can live and work in peace and contentment, and the general will rest assured and continue to patrol the streets." ”

"Yes, General." Li Liang shouted the order, turned around and continued to patrol the street.

"It turns out that he is the chief general of the Jin army." There was a sudden sigh of emotion in the crowd, the sound was not very loud, but it was still captured by Hua'an.

Hua An turned around, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found seven or eight people, but who said it, Hua An couldn't make an accurate judgment.

Hua An walked up and walked lightly to these people, wanting to see their reactions, so as to judge who was talking just now.

Seeing Hua An gradually approaching, a young woman, looking a little nervous, quickly turned around and walked away from Hua An, although she pretended to be very calm, and her steps were also very steady, but the layer of floral cloth covering the basket in her hand fell to the ground, she did not find it, which had to arouse Hua An's suspicions.

Through Guò observation, Hua An could see that although this woman was dressed as a folk girl, her walking posture was not weak at all, and she looked like a heroine among women.

Hua An gently picked up the broken flower cloth on the ground, followed behind the woman, and followed for more than 20 steps, and the woman in front did not find that the broken flower cloth on the basket had fallen, which couldn't help but make Hua An convinced that the person who spoke just now was the woman in front of her, and if she could say 'General Hua' through Guò Li Liang', she would conclude that she was the chief general of the Jin Army, and this person would definitely not be an ordinary folk woman.

Who is the woman in front of her, whether he has been following him, what are her intentions, these questions are haunting Hua An's heart, making Hua An full of curiosity.

However, in order not to startle the snake, Huaan decided not to expose the woman in front of him in order to discover the conspiracy that may be hidden behind the scenes.

"Girl, girl." Hua An took a few quick steps forward and called out to the woman in front of him.

The woman slowly stopped, pretended to look at Hua An as if nothing happened, and said softly: "General, what's the matter." ”

Hua An looked into the woman's eyes, and from those beautiful eyes, a glimmer could be found, which confirmed Hua An's speculation that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person.

However, from this woman's face, it can be seen that she is a beautiful embryo, and there is even a heroic spirit hidden between her eyebrows, which has the taste of a heroine.

The beauty was in front of him, and Hua An naturally took a few more looks, and even forgot that he was on the street.

However, Hua An's unconscious behavior, in the eyes of the woman in front of him, was completely a lascivious move.

"General, if there is nothing to do, the slave family will leave first." The woman said coldly.

Hua An suddenly came back to his senses, but found that he was staring at other people's faces blankly, so he hurriedly apologized: "Girl, I am going to lose my temper for a while, please don't be surprised, this is the girl's broken flower cloth, which fell to the ground just now." As he spoke, he handed the broken flower cloth in his hand to the woman in front of him.

The woman smiled and said softly: "The slave family is really careless, I don't even know if I dropped something, thank you general." As he spoke, he took the floral cloth. (To be continued......)
