The bleak autumn wind rolled across the land of the Central Plains, rolling down the fallen leaves on the ground, and shattering thousands of thoughts. Immediately the field, full of vast black-brown, black-brown fields, black-brown trees, black-brown houses, black-brown people. The crimson setting sun fell at the end of the village, and it looked unusually large in the open field. Such a simple and spectacular scene made Li Chun take a deep breath, and a sense of pride couldn't help but rise to his chest.

It's a pity that Bai Juyi is not around, otherwise he would have been able to write a good poem again.

Li Chun thought to himself. Now Bai Juyi is afraid that he has settled in Yongzhou. When Huaixi is pacified, it is still necessary to play the emperor and transfer him back, even if he is only an East Palace official, it is better than staying in a place where there are many snakes and rats.

The will of the Hui Huaixi has been conveyed. Wu Shaocheng's Huaixi Jiedu envoy Tongping Zhangshi has been deprived, and the official army has confronted the Wu army at the border. Skirmishes have occurred from time to time, and on the Shannan and Jinshang sides, Li Yu and Adie Guangyan have already commanded several raids, achieving some small victories. Huaixi also organized a number of counterattacks. These two directions, according to Hankook's planning, will be the main offensive directions. Henan Province, where the prince is located, is mainly defensive for the time being, due to the lack of troops in the eastern capital of Gongwei, and the northeast direction is vulnerable to the threat of Wei Bo and Ziqing. Wu Chongyin led the headquarters of 10,000 people to Yuncheng. Gao Xiayu and Han Gongwu were swinging left and right. Luoyang now has only more than 5,000 soldiers, even if it is 3,000 guards, although it is well-equipped, because it has not been in battle, its combat power cannot be said to be strong. Because the three armies of Heyang, Zhaoyi and Yicheng had to guard against Wei Bo and Ziqing, they could not be mobilized. Although Han Hong's Xuanwu sent troops, it could not be regarded as a loss of sincerity, and he did not dare to transfer too much, and the troops that Luoyang could use were not very abundant at the moment. If Huaixi takes a risk and concentrates the main force to attack Luoyang, the possibility of success is not impossible.

For this reason, as the war on the border and in Tibet gradually subsided, Li Yu ordered that the guards deployed in Fengxiang and Jingyuan each secretly transfer 5,000 men to Luoyang, and the 3,000 guards in Luoyang were mixed into the front guard army, which was directly commanded by the prince. At the same time, Xuanshe, Huainan, and western Zhejiang soldiers and horses were transferred to the north. Originally, a minister suggested that some of Shatuo's soldiers be transferred to the prince's tent for use, but Li Yu directly vetoed it. However, this reminded Li Yu that if Huaixi went to war, it was impossible that he would not be ready to move inside and outside. It is necessary to have a capable general in charge. Therefore, he ordered the famous general of Hedong and the elder brother of Adieguangyan to serve as the envoy of Zhenwu Jiedu, and the veteran Fan Xichao moved from Shuofang Jiedu to the town of Hedong Jiedu. At the same time, the court thought that Sha Tuo was in Lingyan, close to Tubo, and was worried that Sha Tuo would be capricious in the future, after all, although the hatred is deep, the interests are eternal, not to mention that it is Sha Tuo who is actually presiding over Sha Tuo's affairs now? And because although Sha Tuo suffered heavy losses, he collected a lot of remnants this year, and so many mouths to eat grain would cause the price of grain at the border to rise, so he ordered Sha Tuo to follow Fan Xichao to move into Hedong. Fan Xichao selected 1,200 people from Shatuo, known as the Shatuo Army, and appointed Sha Chali as a soldier and horse envoy. The rest of the departments were placed in Dingxiangchuan. Zhu Xie's heart is the same as before. At the same time, Li Yuli overrode public opinion and allowed Shatuo to intermarry with the Han people.

Li Yu's worries are justified. On 23 September, shortly after the start of the offensive on the Huaixi battlefield, the Zhenwu army reported that more than 50,000 Tubo troops had arrived at Futiquan, and on 26 September, Fengzhou reported that more than 10,000 Tubo troops had gone to Dashigu to rob Uighur envoys who had come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute. However, as analyzed by Lu Wen and Liu Yuxi, under the strict guard, the Tubo army did not make further moves.

Because Wang Shuwen is already seventy-five, after staying in western Zhejiang for three years, his energy is getting worse and worse, and he is begging for bones. Lu Tan, the Xuanhui Observer Envoy, was appointed as the Observer of Western Zhejiang (Zhenhai has been abolished). Xi Shimei is the observer of Xuanhui. He also ordered the squire of the military department to return to the secretary and supervisor, and appointed Han Dadao and Han Yu as the squire of the military department, presiding over the work of the staff department (staff department), responsible for the study of the Huaixi battlefield. Pei Wu is Jingzhao Shaoyin.

Whether it is Li Yu, Liu Changyi or Zheng Yuqing, they all attach great importance to the personal safety of the prince, and Luoyang, where the prince is located, is not under the absolute control of the imperial court. On the first day of their arrival in Luoyang, Nie Yinniang and his wife found that there were many masters in the city, and most of these masters were assassin outlaws who obeyed orders or were hired by the feudal town. If these people commit crimes, it is really lawless and unguardable. Since Wei Dan's assassination, Li Yu has ordered that no matter whether it is the imperial court or the locality, high-ranking officials will send Jinwuwei warriors to garrison them, and the warriors will follow them when they go out. For example, in the homes of Li Jifu, Pei Yan and others, there are more than one samurai stationed, and there are people listening outside even when they go to the toilet, which makes Li Jifu and others distressed. At that time, the sanitary conditions were not good, and even toilet paper was invented and promoted for decades, who didn't have hemorrhoids and constipation? Li Jifu didn't want to go out one morning and hear secret rumors on the street about the hemorrhoids of a certain prime minister, a constipation of a certain prime minister, etc., and asked to withdraw the samurai, but Li Yu insisted on not giving in, and Li Jifu had to continue to squat in the thatched toilet and hum hahe.

Li Jifu lived in distress, while Zheng Yuqing lived in fear. Not only afraid of himself, but also worried about the prince. Han Tai and Liu Changyi's investigation has shown that Luoyang City is a mixed bag, and can catch a lot of people who take risks for a pile of treasure money. And the people who sent the assassins to assassinate Wei Dan had a very large influence in Luoyang. Although a number of people had been arrested and expelled before the prince was stationed in Luoyang, the hands and feet of the government could not reach into the mansions of those privileged wealthy families. So when the prince was eager to try and proposed to go to the front line to inspect, everyone was relieved. Although the front line sounds dangerous, where can the prince really go to war? At the request of the crown prince, the Huai Xixing camp in Henan Province was set up in a small town outside Luoyang City. All the military information related to Huaixi was gathered there.

When good news came from Shannan and Jinshang directions, Wu Chongyin also reported a small victory, defeating a 300-man ranger in Huaixi and capturing dozens of people. Li Chun, who couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, decided to go to the front line to have a look. In fact, Wu Chongyin and Gao Xiayu are both generals of the three armies of Yongguan, if it weren't for the fact that the prince was in Luoyang, he would have attacked it a long time ago, where would he wait for the 25,000 reinforcements. It's just that the prince didn't feel that he was dragging others back, but was anxious about the delay in the direction he presided over, so on a sunny day, the prince led a thousand cavalry of the Guards to Yuncheng at a gallop.

In the inner city of Caizhou, in Wu Shaocheng's meeting hall, the senior generals and senior staff of Huaixi sit. Xian Yu Xiong'er was still standing outside the hall, but his thoughts didn't know where he had gone. After a while, when the discussion in the hall became enthusiastic, Xian Yu Xiong'er Lala's side of the little guy, Nunu's mouth, the little guy understood, Xian Yu Xiong'er quietly turned around and walked to the back house. Walking through several courtyards, as soon as I knocked on a door, a gust of fragrant wind hit Xianyu Xiong'er's arms.

"Damn, why did you come!"

Xian Yu Xiong'er didn't talk, hugged the woman and touched it for a while, and then there was a snorting sound, the clothes fell to the ground, the woman's rapid breathing suddenly stopped, and only after a few years did she let out an "ah" moan.

In the meeting hall, Wu Shaocheng's son, Wu Yuanqing, and Huaixi's famous generals Wu Shaoyang, Dong Chongzhen, Li You, and Hou Weiqing spoke one after another, reporting on their military situation in person. When everyone's report was over, Wu Shaocheng glanced at everyone majestically and said:

"This time, the imperial court attacked my Huaixi, and its ambition is not small. With the crown prince sitting in Luoyang, he gathered millions of stones in money and grain, and the generals from all sides divided the army into a joint attack. It is not like the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan who led the army with Han Quanyi's straw bag, and he could be easily repelled by our army. We cannot protect ourselves from the great victory in West Africa, and all the generals must work together. If anyone is afraid, they can leave on their own, you have followed Wu for many years, and Wu will not embarrass you. ”

Wherever there is a fool here, they all say:

"I am willing to serve the handsome!"

Wu Shaocheng was very satisfied with everyone's attitude and said:

In this way, Wu's father and son thank you very much. Now, I would like to ask General Dong to share his thoughts. ”
