Chapter 7: The Prosperous Age (Part 4I)

When the German side was sent away, Xie Yingdeng was no longer in the mood to sleep. At this moment, he found himself awake as if his bed was stuffed with ice.

It was a kind of bitter sobriety, as if I could see the direction of the wind in the darkness, but I was frozen from head to toe by the night wind blowing from hell. As the chief of the Wagang Army's outpost, Xie Yingdeng also felt very strange about the behavior of the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital at the critical moment of copying Li Xu's back road. But one was that this matter was only beneficial to the Wagang Army at that time, and there was no harm. Second, at that time, everyone thought that Li Mi was indeed the destiny of heaven, and it was God's blessing that caused the enemy to destroy the Great Wall at a critical moment. Therefore, he did not speculate too much about the mystery behind the scenes.

Now, the aura of destiny that was blocking Li Mi's head had long since dissipated. Under the reminder of the German side, when he turned back and re-examined the battle of Henan, he could clearly see an invisible giant hand in the darkness. It was this giant hand, at the critical moment of the decisive battle between the Boling Army and the Wagang Army, that deliberately leaked the news that the Li family in Hedong was preparing to rebel, and allowed or made every effort to promote the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital to copy the back road of the Boling Army. It was this giant hand that caused the seven thousand Boling disciples to hate the Yellow River, and there was no chance of a comeback.

The biggest beneficiary of the First World War that year, in addition to the Wagang Army itself, was only the Li family in Hedong! If it weren't for Li Xu's defeat in Henan, Youzhou Luo Yi would not have misjudged the situation at all, and then went south with the power of the country. And if he could resist the attacks of Luo Yi, Dou Jiande and others with his own strength at that time, Li Xu would not have agreed to form an alliance with Hedong. Following this line of thought, if Liu Hongji and Li Xu could not reach the mutual assistance agreement between Boling in Hedong, Li Yuan, who was worried about being copied by the Boling army loyal to the Great Sui, would definitely not dare to stay away from Taiyuan, let alone have the opportunity to fight out of Hedong and let go of Guanzhong.

It can be said that with a few rumors, some people easily changed the trend of the forces in the entire Central Plains back then. In a word, the country will die, and the country can be prospered in one word, and even if Zhong Leyi is reborn, Zhuge Wuhou will be reborn, and it will be nothing more than that. And who is the person who can use the art of intrigue to such a supernatural level? Why is it that in the dark, only a vague shadow can be seen?

Old and spicy, sinister, cautious, calm, and as good at seizing opportunities as a snake, Xie Yingdeng repeatedly inquired among the opponents and friends he had met over the years, and the more he inquired, the more shocked he became. He found that none of the heroes he knew could have so many invincible advantages at the same time. Even if he is vicious and cunning like a scorpion, standing in front of this person, he can only be regarded as a reckless man who does not understand scheming. However, with the limited information at hand, Xie Yingdeng could only speculate that this person must have been born in the Li family in Hedong and had a pivotal position in the family, but he could not determine which one of these people was Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, eldest grandson Shunde, Chen Yanshou and others? What kind of strength is still hidden?

It's scary not to see the enemy. Unconsciously, he found that the bedding under him was already damp, and the palms of his hands were full of moisture. The hint given by the German side before leaving was very clear, as the chief of the Wagang Army's outpost, he had countless opportunities to turn the speculation of "Hedong's assassination of Boling" into a fact, and there were countless opportunities to find or fabricate "ironclad evidence". But so what? Li Xu, who learned the truth, would definitely not rest assured that he would hand over the six counties of Boling to the Li family in Hedong, and lead his troops out of the fortress to be his Manchu Khan. But will he be able to defeat Li Yuan in the end? Before discovering the mastermind behind the scenes, Xie Yingdeng believed that with Li Xu's popularity and the ability of the people of the Wagang Liyang Army, everyone could reshape the entire country side by side. But the moment he found the black hand of a certain queen, Xie Yingdeng was suspicious of his original idea.

He could predict that once he threw out the evidence of the Li family's assassination of the Boling Army in Hedong, Er Li would definitely turn against him. Whether it is the hatred of losing his wife and children, or the lives of the thousands of Boling children buried on the south bank of the Yellow River, Li Xu will be forced to raise a black knife against Hedong. But Xie Yingdeng couldn't predict what would be the result once Boling and Hedong turned against each other? Li Xu defeated the soldiers and horses in Hedong, captured Chang'an, and took Li Yuan's place to replace him? Shi Defang, Zhao Ziming, Zhang Jiang and the Wagang heroes who supported Li Xu were all named marquis? That's just wishful thinking, and in reality, I'm afraid many people won't have the opportunity to see that day at all.

Xie Yingdeng found that he had underestimated the power of the Li family in Hedong before. The reason why this family, which was not ranked in the top ten in the Great Sui, was still dormant under Yang Guang's deliberate vigilance, and why it was able to see the opportunity that Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Luo Yi and countless other heroes could not grasp at all, was definitely not just luck. It is true that the soldiers and horses under the account of Tang King Li Yuan are not elite, and Xie Yingdeng hurriedly glanced at them during the day, and he could see the gap between the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Li Jiancheng's command and the Boling army. Sensei said that the Boling Army is the most sharp in the world, and even the Tang Army in the Wagang Inner Battalion was not comparable to it at all. However, Li Yuan relied on less than 50,000 soldiers and horses of this kind to conquer Hedong and Guanzhong. And with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of this color, he forced Luoyang in the east, Longyou in the west, and Bashu in the south, so that heroes from all walks of life did not dare to easily brush their tiger whiskers. What kind of planning and planning skills are required? With Li Yuan, who is so good at employing people and good at planning, as the core, plus a group of generals who are no less capable than the heroes of Wagang, and a ruthless, sinister, sophisticated, and calm strategist who casts cold arrows in secret, does the Boling Army really have a chance to fight with one of them?

Be responsible for the future of your brothers and not dream of anything that is not in line with your strength. Although Xie Yingdeng was very dissatisfied with Li Xu's cowardice, he still appreciated some of the creeds that Li Xu adhered to. If the Boling army after the fierce battle had no chance to give Li Yuan a chance to give it up, it would indeed be better to give up. At the very least, the six counties don't have to be caught up in the fire, and at least the surviving brethren won't be left without bones. At the very least, Wagang Qunying will not die in a daze because they voted for the wrong coach, and no one will have a chance to see the dream of the year.

Xie Yingdeng can not think about the future of the Boling Army, and he can not consider the life and death of the people in the world, but he does not have the courage to gamble with the lives of his brothers. He suddenly discovered that when faced with a future with little hope, he was actually as cowardly as Li Xu.

"If I can find a way to find out who is behind the scenes, and kill him when he is not prepared.......l." While tossing and turning in the quilt, Xie Yingdeng thought so. It is certain that in that case, Li Yuan will be much easier to deal with. But who is behind it? In his heart, he sifted through King Tang and his subordinate generals and ministers one by one again, but he was tired to find that none of them matched his judgment.

"Maybe I'm overthinking. That person doesn't exist at all. And the German side just wanted to borrow my hand to push their own lord to take a step forward. In a daze, he comforted himself again, and then his body warmed up a little bit, and his breathing became even.

In a daze, he found himself standing back on the Great Wall, fighting against the Turkic army with Li Xu. I don't know how many years this battle has been fought, and he has never been able to find a chance to make the conspiracy of the Li family in Hedong public. In any case, the fragile alliance between the two Li needs to be preserved before the Turks can withdraw. Xie Yingdeng clearly prioritized. However, the Turks, the Xi people, the Tatar people, the Murwei people, and the waves of barbarians are endless. The mountains and rivers beneath his feet were dyed red with blood, and the sky above him was as vivid as blood. Suddenly, a tall, hideous devil came out from behind the Great Wall and opened his mouth wide at the brethren at the head of the city......

"Whew——— woo-" The devil let out a long and terrible wolf howl, Xie Yingdeng's body suddenly tensed, and he swung his knife and slashed out, but it split into the air. The devil is gone, or rather, the devil is hidden in the wind, and only the howl of "whoop, whoa, whoa" continues. And the barbarians outside the fortress have also become wolves, howling and making peace with the devil in the wind.......

I'm dreaming! Xie Yingden told himself clearly. He could feel himself still lying under the covers, feeling the cold, hard, sticky bedding, but he couldn't open his eyes and let himself out of the nightmare. I was dreaming, dreaming, he yelled, yelled, kicked, twisted his body, and finally, his body could move, his eyes opened, and the sun drove away all the devils and wolves in the nightmare.

Only the howl of the wolf remains, and it is a horn from outside the territory. The soldiers on duty were already alarmed, and they didn't know what to do when they ran in. Xie Yingdeng waved his hand tiredly and instructed the other party to prepare cold water for himself to wash his face. "What time is it, is there already a fight outside? The horn sounds like it's blowing urgently? As he struggled to regain his spirits, he asked another soldier in a loud voice.

"General Yu, it's already three quarters of an hour." The soldier grinned, and his voice replied with a bit of exhaustion, "Since the beginning of the year, the Turkic wolf cubs have begun to blow their horns. But until now, the city has not heard the shouts of killing! ”

"I slept deep enough!" Xie Yingdeng shook his head and smiled bitterly. The exhaustion from the day's rush and the overthinking of the previous night had left his bones and muscles sore. "Why didn't you wake me up? Did General Lee order the general? After saying this, he immediately became nervous, wiped a handful on his face, and raised his hand to grab his helmet. When he first arrived, he didn't want to cause the overall face of the Wagang heroes to be disgraced because of his embarrassing performance.

"General Lee didn't beat the drums. But General Zhou Daniu was sent to deliver a message, ordering the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who had just arrived yesterday to recuperate and not have to participate in the war! The cronies shook their heads again and again, and stopped Xie Yingdeng's busyness with their eyes. It seems that the Turks are also tempting, and they will not launch a strong attack for a while! ”
