Li Liang's mansion is very large, since he occupied Wuwei County, his mansion has been expanding, although he ostensibly claims to be the governor of Liangzhou, but his mansion already has the scale of a royal mansion.

These days, Li Rail's life is not easy, although he is still very prestigious in Liangzhou, Liang Shuo, An Xiuren and others under his command or Wen or Wu can handle some things for him, in the entire territory of Liangzhou, he has 100,000 troops at his fingertips, but these soldiers and horses are stragglers, in a short time, it is impossible to succeed, Li Jing outside is extremely fierce, although he is stationed outside the city, his strong influence still makes Li Liang dare not slack off day and night.

"Lord Steward, Daoist Qihui is here." At this time, Li Liang was thinking about how to solve Li Jing outside the city, and suddenly Cao Zhen led the Qihui Daoist in, and the Qihui Daoist was still fluttering with big sleeves, and he was like a fairy.

"Dao Chief." Li Liang looked at Qihui Daoren, his heart was very excited, and he took three steps and two steps to greet him, and said, "Daoist, I don't know if Li Jingke has agreed to retire?" ”

"General rest assured, this Li Jing is a virtuous person, after some persuasion, he agreed to withdraw from the army, but he does have some small requirements, if the chief manager agrees, he will withdraw from the army." Qihui Daoren said proudly: "As long as the general can give him 5,000 horses and 50,000 troops for ten days of food and grass, he will retreat." ”

"Five thousand horses? Ten days of food and grass for 50,000 people? Li Liang's face changed after hearing this, it's not that he can't take out these things, as a strong man in Liangzhou, these things can still be taken out, but he thinks that the asking price of these things is too high, and for a while he felt a little dissatisfied with the ability of Qihui Daoren.

"Li Jing has decided to withdraw 10,000 soldiers tonight." Qihui Daoist didn't seem to see the displeasure on Li Liang's face, and said: "General, get rid of the war horses, if those grain and grass generals can't take too much, I Lou Guan Dao is willing to give half of it." ”

"No, no. The Taoist chief laughed, there are not many of these things, and the official is just curious, so Li Jing heard that it was Li Xin who came all the way to find the general, why was he persuaded by the Taoist to give up Liangzhou so easily? Li Liang shook his head and said.

"The general forgot how much time Li Xin had been in the Western Regions at this time, and he guessed that Li Xin had probably fallen into the huge quagmire of the Western Regions at this time, he was too far away from Yiwu, and there was not much food and grass in the army, in order to survive. He had to raid the entire Western Regions, how could the countries of the Western Regions, the Tiele people, and the Turkic people let him go, the Western Regions were too far away from the northwest, and Li Xin did not have enough grain and grass to pass through the vast Gobi and the vast desert. At this time, most of the generals in Lanzhou were thinking about other things, where did they still have the heart to care about Li Xin's life or death. Qihui Daoist said disdainfully: "Then Li Xin is a young man, when there is still stability in the northwest, he started the labor expedition, how can he not fail." It's a pity that tens of thousands of Great Sui elites died with him in the Western Regions, which is really a pity. ”

Li Liang was full of red, and he said it thoroughly. Among the unstable factors in the northwest is people like Li Liang. However, he quickly put this idea behind him, looked at Cao Zhen and said, "General Cao, go and prepare five thousand war horses first." Send it to Li Jing. However, after Li Jing's 10,000 cavalry left, he would send them over. ”

"Yes. Your Excellency, I'm going to do it. Cao Zhen was originally going to persuade Li Liang, but looking at Qihui Daoren's disdainful look, he still retreated.

"I heard that the general is going to unite with Tuyuhun to deal with the Western Regions Protectorate?" After Cao Zhen left, Qihui Daoren asked again: "The general doesn't have to be like this at all, Tuyuhun is a defeated general under the Great Sui, and now he is struggling to survive, the general invited these people at this time, I am afraid it is to give them the opportunity to strengthen themselves, and the poor Dao thinks it is not advisable." ”

After Li Liang heard this, he was slightly displeased in his heart, and pretended to sigh at the moment: "It's not that General Ben is willing to do it, but An Xiuren and other subordinates think that our army is small in number, plus Tuyuhun has surrendered to my Great Sui, and if he wants to deal with Li Xin, he has to do it." ”

Qihui Daoist nodded after hearing this, glanced at Li Liang seriously, saluted him, and said: "Since the matter has been completed here, Poor Dao should also go back, if the Chief Manager has any requirements, you can go to Lei Taiguan to find Poor Dao." If there is a place where the poor road can help the general, he will never dare to refuse. ”

"Okay, there's a long way to go." After Li Liang listened, he nodded and personally sent the Qihui Daoist out.

"Humph! is also surnamed Li, if it weren't for Tang Guogong personally asking Poor Dao to come here, how could Poor Dao come to this desolate place in the northwest, the lord of mediocrity, will definitely be destroyed by Tang Guogong in the future. After leaving Li Liang's Governor's Mansion, Qihui Daoist glanced at the magnificent Governor's Mansion with disdain. Qihui Daoist came to Liangzhou Wuwei at the behest of Li Yuan, on the one hand, he wanted to know the news of Liangzhou, and on the other hand, he asked Lou Guandao to help Li Liang when necessary.

In the last years of the Sui Dynasty. The momentum of Buddhism is extremely strong, Lou Guan Dao is also the guest of the Guanlong family, with Yang Guang's third conquest of Liaodong Tiger and Snake Tail action, the situation in the world collapsed again, and many families also began to move. Li Yuan finally left Honghua at the beginning of the year, and Yang Guang personally canonized him as the ambassador of Shanxi Hedong, and went to Jinyang with military power in hand, preparing to exterminate the increasingly noisy thieves from the state. At this time, Lou Guandao also officially decided to assist Li Yuan. It was under this circumstance that the Qihui Dao people came to the northwest land, preparing to use the power of Louguan Dao to contain Li Yuan's potential enemy Li Xin.

"Father, there is movement in Li Jing's army." After Qihui Daoren left, Li Liang was thinking about what to do after Li Jing left, when his son Li Zhongyan walked in and said with a somewhat surprised expression. Behind him was Liang Shuo, one of Li Liang's masterminds.

"Oh, if that's the case, it seems that the Qihui Daoist hasn't said anything big yet, let's go and take a look." After Li Liang heard this, he was very happy in his heart, and couldn't wait to say to Liang Shuo and Li Zhongyan. Li Jing's army is moving at this time, presumably in preparation for the withdrawal of the army, once Li Jing's army withdraws, the pressure on Li Liang will be much less.

"Lord Steward, I'm afraid it's a little abnormal for Li Jing to withdraw at this time!" Liang Shuo said with some worry.

"Don't worry, the Qihui Daoist has already persuaded Li Jing." Li Liang told him about how Qihui Daoist entered Li Jing's army and how to persuade Li Jing. Then he said: "Now Li Xin is probably already trapped in the quagmire of the Western Regions, and the Western Regions Protectorate has no leader, even Li Jing has to think about the future." ”

Liang Shuo was still a little worried, and was about to be persuaded, but saw Li Liang waving his hand impatiently, and the three of them led some guards up the Wuwei city wall and watched the movement of Li Jing's military camp outside the city.

"It's really preparing to withdraw." Li Liang looked at the camp in the distance, and saw that countless soldiers and horses were being mobilized, but the distance was relatively far, Li Liang and the others could not see it very clearly, but the chaos in the barracks could be seen.

"It's a pity, I don't know how many people Li Jing withdrew for the first time?" Liang Shuo's face was dark, looking at the big camp in the distance, there was still a trace of disbelief on his face, Li Jing agreed to withdraw the army so easily, which made him feel a bad feeling in his heart, from Lanzhou to Wuwei, Li Jing's soldiers were extremely sharp, and the tribes along the way did not know how many were destroyed in his hands, nor did he know how many war horses and grain and grass were robbed, at this time, for the sake of five thousand war horses and some grain and grass, it was not very reasonable to let Liangzhou go so easily.

"Father, Li Jing has really withdrawn!" The three of them waited on the city until evening, and saw a team of torches illuminating the entire camp in the distance, and countless cavalry rumbled, even on the head of Wuwei's city, the three of them could feel the earth shaking, but everyone did not feel frightened, but a little excited, because these torches were all heading south, that is, Liang Shuo was originally a little suspicious, at this time, he also thought that he was thinking too much.

"Is it really a withdrawal?" Liang Shuo looked at the sky in the distance, and for some reason, he felt that the distance between those torches and the torches seemed to be much larger.

"It's finally a withdrawal." Li Liang was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "These days, I can't even sleep well, but now it's finally better." We can sleep peacefully tonight, and wait until tomorrow to give Li Xin everything that Li Jing requested, we just need to wait for the arrival of the Tuyuhun people, and then go to attack Yiwu County first, completely control Yiwu County in our hands, block the road back to Li Xin, and then lead the army eastward and occupy Lanzhou. It is rumored that Lanzhou is rich, and the prosperity of Jincheng is no less than that of Daxing or Luoyang. If I can occupy the Golden City, I can save a lot of time. ”

Li Zhongyan listened clearly beside him, his eyes lit up, what his father wanted to do, he could vaguely guess, because of this, he would be so excited, if Li Rail can be the king and hegemon, he will also get great benefits as Li Rail's son.

"General, tomorrow my subordinates want to see Li Jing in person." Liang Shuo looked at the torches in the distance, and suddenly spoke.

"Why, do you think Li Jing didn't withdraw from the army?" Li Liang smiled dumbly and said, "Then what are his torches?" Hehe! Forget it, since I think it's necessary to confirm it, I promise you, you go and meet Li Jing to see what kind of character this Li Jing is. He was a little dissatisfied in his heart, because he had already determined that Li Jing was about to withdraw the army, but Liang Shuo, as his subordinate, did not agree with his own views, which made him a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it, and even showed a smile on his face.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie." Liang Shuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looking into the distance, thinking about what he should say when he saw Li Jing tomorrow. (To be continued......)
