"Believe in Buddhism" Liu Ziqiu smiled and shook his head, "I don't believe in Buddhism"

Once he succeeds, his bones will wither, he is a warrior, and his hands will inevitably be stained with human life, so how can he believe in Buddhism

Gao Xiu'er stared at his wrist: "Then why are you wearing a string of Buddhist beads?"

Liu Ziqiu looked down and was taken aback, this string of Buddhist beads was given to him by the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism when he was in Shaolin Temple, and he usually wore it on his wrist and didn't take it seriously

I don't know what material this string of Buddhist beads is made of, in short, the color is getting darker and darker on his wrist, and it is difficult to detect it when put together with his black armor, not to mention that Gao Xiu'er has not found it in the past two days, and even Liu Ziqiu gradually ignored the existence of this string of Buddhist beads

However, today, I don't know what's going on, this string of Buddha beads is shining, and in that magical light, there are faintly visible seven colors, and it is precisely because of the seven colors of the Buddha beads that this attracted Gao Xiuer's attention

"I wear it and play with it, don't care about it," Liu Ziqiu himself doesn't know when this string of Buddhist beads will have this kind of change, but he has also heard of such a saying in Buddhism, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, is it that he saved these people today and did not kill or injure a person, there will be signs of becoming a Buddha

……

The way back was quite smooth, Liu Ziqiu and Li Yuan's two armies were fighting fiercely in Hongnong, the garrisons in Xiyang County were all transferred to the front line by Li Yuan, and Shangluo County was close to Chang'an, which was under the control of Yang Xuangan in the past, and now it has long been under the control of Liu Ziqiu, and when Liu Ziqiu arrived in Shangluo, he finally breathed a sigh of relief

Shangluo Taishou Li Zheng is also a peripheral disciple of the Li family in Longxi, but the relationship with the Li family is not close, so he was assigned to Shangluo by Liu Ziqiu, this important place, the power of the family has long penetrated into the corners of society, unless a major change occurs, it is impossible for Liu Ziqiu to completely abandon the influence of the family, and reuse the peripheral children of the family, which is actually a balancing way for Liu Ziqiu

Li Zheng welcomed Liu Ziqiu into the lobby and said, "The lord has captured Li Yuan's son, why don't you send someone to reveal the news and force Li Yuan to comply."

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Li Yuan is a person who does great things, how can he care about Yizi, besides, Liu Mou acts in a fair and upright manner, how can he use Li Yuan's family as a blackmail, wait, although Liu is not on the front line, Liu believes in Wen Hao, they will not disappoint Liu."

Before the words fell, I saw a post guard outside the door rushing in and said loudly: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord Hongnong's victory."

Liu Ziqiu was overjoyed and said: "How is the battle going?"

The post man hurriedly untied a red urgent document from his body, presented it to Liu Ziqiu with both hands, Liu Ziqiu opened it and looked at it, it turned out that a day ago, Wen Hao broke the main force of Li Yuan's army, slashed the enemy, and more than 50,000 forwards had already captured the two counties of Mianchi and Yiyang, which were only dozens of miles away from the western suburbs of Luoyang

Li Zheng was also delighted: "Why didn't the lord order to take advantage of the victory to pursue Luoyang"

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Yang Guang didn't know how much it cost to build Luoyang, how could Liu bear to let it be destroyed in the flames of war, and it was rumored that Liu would order the three armies to stay on hold for the time being, and Liu had his own plans" took out another piece of paper and said: "Lord Li immediately sent someone to grab a few pairs of medicine for Liu."

……

In Luoyang City, when he learned the news of Hongnong's defeat, Li Yuan was like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious that he turned around, not only did he lose 100,000 elites in this battle, but even his most trusted nephew Li Xiaogong was killed, and in the chaos of the army, this blow to Li Yuan was huge, and the momentum of the Wagang army that captured Xingyang in the east was becoming more and more arrogant, almost overnight, Li Yuan's hair was half white

However, Li Yuan is still waiting, and he still has a glimmer of hope for a comeback, that is, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji sent to Jiangnan

A few days ago, he received news that the Changshan Army, which occupied the area of Runan and Huai'an, suddenly stopped its northward movement and strengthened the investigation of various intersections, which showed that there was a problem: Li Shimin and they had already succeeded in Jiangnan

In order to ensure that Li Shimin and them could return safely, Li Yuan still sent an elite army to meet them even when his troops were already stretched, which shows that Li Yuan has great hopes for this matter

The days of waiting are always extremely tormenting, Li Shimin and his entourage have not yet been traced, but there is news that the Changshan army began to move north, and the Changshan army's movements are very fast, and in just three days, they have penetrated into the territory of Yingchuan County, and the three counties of Liankefugou, Yuncheng, and Beiwu have reached the city of Yingchuan

At this moment, Hongnong in the west of Luoyang has been captured by the Hexi Army, and the vanguard of the Hexi Army has even captured Mianchi and Yiyang, which are already under the jurisdiction of Henan County, and the west of Luoyang is already wide open

In the east of Luoyang, Zhai Rang's Wagang army captured Xingyang and completely blocked Li Yuan's army and horses in the Bishui Pass, especially after Zhai Rang defeated Zhang Xutuo and surrendered Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin, his strength increased greatly, even without the containment of the Hexi army, Li Yuan did not dare to guarantee that he could defeat the Wagang army

Luoyang's east and west sides are in an emergency at the same time, and Yingchuan is not only the gateway to the south of Luoyang, but also related to Luoyang's supply of money and grain, and more importantly, the sudden northward invasion of the Changshan army means that a bad news, Li Shimin may have lost his hand

Li Yuan refused to admit defeat, still hoping to be lucky, while sending Li Jiancheng to lead the army to reinforce Yingchuan, and spreading the news that Liu Ziqiu's wife and children had been captured everywhere to confuse the other party's army, but only one day later, Li Yuan's hopes were dashed

On this day, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly appeared in the Tang Palace

After the eldest grandson Wuji became a prisoner of Liu Ziqiu because of the serious illness of the water and soil, Gao Xiuer personally took the pulse for him and prescribed prescriptions, after ten days of recuperation, the eldest grandson Wuji gradually recovered, and the eldest grandson Wuji felt ashamed and asked to see Liu Ziqiu several times, but he was refused, until two days ago, Liu Ziqiu suddenly released him and asked him to bring a letter to Li Yuan

This is an ultimatum, if Li Yuan does not surrender within three days, Liu Ziqiu will launch a general attack on Luoyang from the west and south at the same time, and what is even worse is that the return of the eldest grandson Wuji also brought the news of Li Shimin's capture, and Li Yuan's last hope was completely shattered

Li Yuan looked around and sighed and said, "Li has no power to return to the sky, so you might as well find another high."

Liu Wenjing patted his chest and said: "There are still 100,000 elite soldiers under the command of the prince, and then they will be scattered in Luoyang Palace, Shanglin Xiyuan, and the wealth of Shanglin Xiyuan can still gather righteous soldiers, why do you say this?"

Pei Lin shook his head and said: "If Liu Ziqiu wants to force the prince to surrender, it depends on what conditions he is willing to offer, if he is willing to protect the glory and wealth of the prince and me, otherwise he will fight to the death."

Li Yuan muttered: "You are right, Li can also put forward conditions to keep your future, and it depends on him Liu Ziqiu is willing to agree, but I don't know who is willing to send Hongnong."

At this time, Liu Ziqiu had already escorted Li Shimin to Hongnong, and Sun Wuji, the eldest grandson, was released from Hongnong, and it was precisely because of this that Li Yuan felt pressure

Liu Wenjing thought for a while and smiled: "If there is a person who is a messenger, it is just right."

Li Yuan asked repeatedly: "Who?"

Liu Wenjing squeezed out three words: "Yu Shiji"

Yu Shiji was sent by Liu Ziqiu to envoy to Luoyang last time, but he was detained, and Yu Shinan, who took the initiative to ask Ying to send an envoy to Chang'an, has been entrusted with a heavy task by Liu Ziqiu, and completely fell to Liu Ziqiu, so Yu Shiji's life in Luoyang was even more difficult, and he was directly thrown into prison by Li Yuan, which can be regarded as being dragged down by Yu Shinan

Li Yuan couldn't help frowning and said, "I'm afraid that Yu Shiji won't do his best."

Pei Lin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The prince's subordinates are willing to go with Yu Shiji"

Li Yuan still nodded very trusting of Pei Lin and said: "Master Pei should be careful when you go, if you can't do anything, try to get out of the way."

Pei Lin bowed down and said: "Please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to their mission."

……

Hongnong is located between the two capitals, the geographical location is very unique, compared to other ordinary counties and counties are much more prosperous, in Hongnong, the most famous family is the Yang family, the most famous in the history of Yang Guifei Yang Yuhuan is out of this family, of course, that is a hundred years later

Now the Yang family is also very rich, although not as good as the Li family in Longxi, but after years of accumulation, the Yang family's mansion is also quite large-scale, Liu Ziqiu came to Hongnong, and lived in the Yang family's mansion, after a few days, there was a large group of people from Chang'an, and also lived in the Yang family's compound, the entire Yang family suddenly became unprecedentedly lively

The team that came later was dominated by female dependents, including Liu Ziqiu's two women, Mu Duoli and Lin Qiaoer, and the female guard trained by Mu Duoli, as well as the family members of the civil and military, but Fan Lihua had just given birth to a son for Wen Hao, and was staying in Chang'an for confinement, so she couldn't come over

In addition, Empress Xiao, Yang Yu, Yang Qi, Little Princess and Xue Ye'er were also caught in this team, but for the sake of safety, Liu Ziqiu did not disclose their identities

About Mu Duoli, Lin Qiaoer and Tuoba Qianyu, Liu Ziqiu has already told Gao Xiuer and did not hide it at all, of course, Liu Ziqiu still feels a little guilty in his heart, after all, he has cheated on **, and he cheated two at once, as for Tuoba Qianyu, I am afraid that he is also mentally cheating, but fortunately, Gao Xiuer did not show any unhappiness

In any case, Gao Xiu'er's status is unshakable, the status of the eldest woman in this era is extremely high, and like the head of the family, she has the power to kill and kill the concubines and slaves in the family, if Gao Xiuer is jealous, Lin Qiao'er and Mu Duoli's life will not be easy

Although Lin Qiao'er and Mu Duoli were older than Gao Xiu'er's apprehension when they came to visit,
