The next day, Li Ran didn't go to Yuanmen to watch the siege, and in the tall handsome tent, he talked with Zhou E and hardly went out.

The end of the day was again after the sky was dark.

Li Ran stood at the small side door of the handsome tent, and the vehicles full of corpses turned between the two tents not far from her, and passed the fire in front of her.

Li Ran looked at the piles of corpses on the carts, and her face turned pale.

"Fewer people died today than they did yesterday."

Zhou E hugged her arms in front of her chest, slowly swayed to Li Ran's side, and followed her gaze to look at the big car.

"It's good, it's all pulled back, you don't have to expose the corpse wilderness, it's much stronger than before."

Li Ran glanced at Zhou E.

Zhou E sighed, "I just joined the army in those years, the first six or seven years, the first seven or eight years, how can anyone collect corpses?" There are too many dead people, too few living people, and there is no one who has that man, and the dead are everywhere, and at that time, it is really white bones exposed in the wild. ”

"Ugh." Li Ran sighed heavily, lowered his head, and entered the tent.

Zhou E stood at the door of the tent, tilted her head and thought for a while, then went back to her tent with her hands behind her back.

All day, the princess was worried, but now she doesn't have to worry about it, she is handsome.

Xie Ze's official business was handled much faster than yesterday, and after eating, Li Ran couldn't help but ask: "How many days do you have to attack like this?" Have you been so dead all the time? ”

"There are still four or five days, and we have to contain Qi Yi and Jian Mingrui."

After a pause, Xie Ze looked at Li Ran.

"If you fight, you're going to die, are you okay?"

"It was sad to see a cart of corpses yesterday, and this year I saw it again, alas."

Li Ran sighed lowly.

"I know that people will always die in war, but what I see is that people who were once alive, with family and friends, temper and temperament, love and hatred, died one by one."

"You're thinking too much."

Xie Ze stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Ran.

"Tomorrow I will let them go around to the north gate to enter and exit, you don't look too much, and don't think too much."

"Well, I'd like to meet Jian Mingrui." Li Ran was silent for a moment, then looked up at Xie Zedao.

"Huh?" Xie Ze was surprised and stunned, "Jian Mingrui? Do you see him? What are you doing? Do you think you'll be able to convince him? Still is? ”

Xie Ze reacted extremely quickly.

"Hmm." Li Ran hummed with extreme certainty.

"I've been thinking about it all day.

Jian Mingrui is single, pure and desireless like a monk, no matter what he thinks, he has never thought about making meritorious contributions and being a king and an emperor.

As long as he is not ambitious and wants to be the first person in the world, then he should be able to talk, right? ”

Xie Ze furrowed his brows, and without waiting for him to speak, Li Ran continued:

"In the past ten years, Jian Mingrui has spent all his energy on people's livelihood, and he has spent more than ten or twenty years to take care of the rich and peaceful Shu land, he must be more distressed than us, isn't it?

I think we should talk to him, and he will definitely be willing to talk to us. ”

"The imperial court has been preparing for this battle for more than ten years, and Prime Minister Jian has been preparing for today's battle since the day he entered Shu, do you think you can say ...... Think there is room to avoid this battle? ”

Xie Ze didn't say the sentence that was concise and sharp, and the reproach of this sentence was too heavy.

"When Renzong opened Rong'an City and made that will, did anyone think of it? Who would have thought? ”

Li Ran asked rhetorically.

Xie Zemo.

"People always have to die, many people die every day, there are life and death, sickness and death, and there are many non-dead deaths, no one can make the world have no unworthy death, but when you encounter a death that does not deserve to die, it is right in front of you, you have to try your best to save it, maybe? Isn't it? ”

Li Ran pulled Xie Ze's sleeve and spoke softly.

"Let me think about it."

Xie Ze held Li Ran's hand in his hand.

Li Ran snorted and said no more.

The next morning, when Li Ran woke up, Xie Ze had already gotten up and was sitting cross-legged at the small table next to him, writing something.

"You're awake."

Hearing the movement, Xie Ze looked back at Li Ran, and smiled and lifted the pen in his hand.

"What you said yesterday makes sense, whether it works out or not, it doesn't hurt to see Jian Mingrui and Qi Yi, at least I'm writing a letter."

Li Ran hurriedly sat up, moved to the small table, next to Xie Ze, watched him write a letter, and saw God.

Xie Ze's words, like his people, are beautiful and cold.

Xie Ze's letter was written quickly, and he quickly packed up his meal, went to the front of the tent, and summoned people to discuss the matter.

Li Ran sat on the cushion and listened intently to the words and movements in front of her.

Xie Ze's letter was circulated, transcribed, and agreed.

When the two armies are facing each other, she wants to see Jian Mingrui, not a private matter, but a public matter.

Xie Ze led the troops out of the gate as yesterday, Li Ran stood at the side door of the tent, hesitated for a moment, did not go up to the gate, asked Xiqing to move two chairs over, and sat at the side door of the tent with Zhou E, gossiping with a match.

Zhou E looked at Li Ran, who was obviously on her mind, and said a few words, looked at Li Ran and asked:

"About the Marquis of Chang'an, did the marshal tell you?"

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"It seems that I didn't say it, on the first day of attacking the city, Chang'an Hou Chong was at the forefront and was hit by four arrows, but fortunately, it's not a big deal."

Zhou E paused and looked at Li Ran, who leaned back in the chair.

"This one is a small thing, and another is a big one. Hou Ye rushed to the front, but he didn't follow the military order, he hid from the marshal, changed his clothes, mixed in the middle of the light horse, and after rushing out, everyone found out, and the marshal also found out. ”

Li Ran frowned.

Acting without following military orders is indeed a big deal.

"Also, he asked for war before, and he invited him more than once, but the commander didn't agree, and he was strictly forbidden to get close to the front line, let alone fight privately, he violated the military order.

Attacking the city that day, we also saw that Hou Ye should have a not small credit, but this credit. ”

Zhou E laughed dryly.

"Hou Ye has been guarded in his tent, I didn't go in, I took a few looks at the door and left.

When he heals from his injuries, no matter what, a military stick is indispensable. ”

"Does he often disobey military orders?" Li Ran frowned and asked.

"How is that possible, Hou Ye's famous order is forbidden, this is the first time he has violated a military order...... Belch! ”

Zhou E's words were slammed, and he was stunned for a moment before he continued:

"This is the second time, the first time."

Zhou E looked at Li Ran.

"I can tell you that.

The first time was in the second month of entering Rong'an City.

At that time, the world was still in chaos, and the emperor was the biggest one, but there were more than a dozen of them, and there were two or three of them who were emperors.

The emperor was lucky, the first one entered Rong'an City, got the will of Renzong, and suddenly became very justifiable and worthy of the destiny of heaven.

Of course, this is what we think, and the dozen or so don't think so, and they all rush to Rong'an City.

The emperor spent a lot of effort to set up a bureau to lure the two largest of the dozen families to a place ten miles away from Rong'an City, ready to be annihilated in one fell swoop.

At that time, Huo Shuai's army had a vicious battle in Xingrong Pass and suffered heavy losses, no matter how it claimed, in fact, there were not many people at hand, so they relied on the notoriety of the first battle of Xingrong Pass to lure the enemy in the front.

I followed Hou Ye, with nearly half of the men and horses, ambushed on the Shengyang Slope, waiting for orders.

More than a quarter of an hour before the charge, or two quarters of an hour, anyway, the charge was soon over, and one of my own soldiers, who stayed in the camp to watch Princess Leping, rushed in and said that Princess Leping was gone.

I, you know, what men and women, don't understand this, so I immediately told Hou Ye, Leping is gone.

Alas. ”

Zhou E let out a long sigh, patted the arm of the chair with one hand, and slapped it seven or eight times before continuing:

"At that time, we didn't enter the city, and the emperor said that the army entering the city would disturb the people too much, and that would disappoint Renzong's benevolence.

We are the back of the city wall to the camp, at that time, the war will start, the first night, Rong'an City on the city gate closed, closed can not be tighter, Leping escaped from the camp, into the city is impossible, to escape, can only flee out, to the outside, outside the Rong'an City, everywhere is the battlefield.

Don't talk about Leping, even me, alone, or without a gun or a horse, there is no way out.

I was very uncomfortable, such a beautiful princess, died in the chaos of the army, maybe she will be trampled by a horse, quite miserable.

When Hou Ye heard that Leping had escaped from the camp, his eyes were red at that time, and he really rushed back with a snort, like a madman, no, like a beast.

He's the main general, as far as our team is concerned, he's the boss, and everyone has to follow him forward.

We all rushed back to the camp, so what about the battlefield ahead?

It's not a matter of victory or defeat, it's going to perish, from top to bottom, all!

I was in a hurry, I followed, and smashed Hou Ye unconscious with a gun, Lao Zhu, now the chief manager, was Hou Ye's personal captain back then, very neatly, picked up Hou Ye, poured a leather bag of cold wine on his face, and woke Hou Ye up.

With such a big effort, the order to charge came, Lao Zhu stuffed Hou Ye's long knife to him, I whipped Hou Ye immediately, and Lao Zhu and I followed Hou Ye left and right, and rushed forward to kill.

At that time, Hou Ye didn't know if he had come to his senses, like a crazy beast, red-eyed killing, Hou Ye was originally a fierce general, and that time, he became a Shura evil.

It was a big win.

After returning to the camp, Lao Zhu and I didn't plan to talk about it, it didn't mean anything, right, but when we returned to the camp, the Hou Ye knelt in front of the emperor.

That time can only be counted as half a time. This time it's a whole time.

To be honest, I suddenly heard that Leping survived and gave birth to you, I didn't believe it at all.

That battle lasted for two nights and three days, around Rong'an City, the dead pressed the dead, and spread a two or three miles wide, how could she escape with her little lady?

If it weren't for you, you would be the daughter of the Hou Ye at first glance. ”

Zhou E leaned back, looked at Li Ran carefully, and continued:

"At first glance, it's Leping's daughter, but you're still more like Leping.

If it weren't for your looks, I wouldn't believe you were Leping's daughter anyway.

I don't know how Leping escaped with his life.

Alas. If it weren't for Leping, it would be impossible for him to live, and after all these years, whether it was the Hou Ye or the emperor, he would never have let people go to Leping or find you.

In this world, there are so many unexpected things. ”

"Chang'an Hou violated the military order this time because there is Jian Mingrui in the city?"

Li Ran was silent for a long time before asking in a low voice.

"Nine times out of ten, you are talking nonsense with Jian Mingrui, I am afraid that Hou Ye will take it seriously." Zhou E sighed and sighed again.

"Even if he takes it seriously, the emperor won't take it seriously. He takes it seriously, and he wants to take it seriously, this is his heart knot. ”

"Well, too."

Zhou E leaned back in the chair, was stunned for a while, and then let out a long sigh.

"Also, back then, in those two months, Hou Ye was like an evil spirit, the whole person was on fire, burning red inside and out, and later, when Princess Leping escaped, after that battle, Hou Ye became a burned charcoal, gray, full of life.

I don't understand the affairs of this man and woman. ”

Zhou E's voice fell, and in the direction of Licheng, there was a sharp and piercing sound, and Zhou E was startled.

"Something's wrong! What's wrong? ”

"I'll take a look." Xi Qing, who was standing more than ten steps away, said a word and hurried away.

"It's about delivering a letter to Oak City."

Li Ran didn't stand up, only straightened up and looked in the direction of Licheng.

"You know?" Zhou E took a few steps back and sat back.

"Well, yesterday I told the general that I wanted to meet Jian Mingrui and have a few words with him."

Zhou E stayed for a moment, turned around, and looked Li Ran up and down.

"What do you want to do? Persuasion? ”

"Hmm." Li Ran hummed with extreme certainty.

Zhou E stayed for a moment and snorted, "You are simply ...... But I can't say, Renzong back then, who would have thought that you were a different person, what if. ”

"Well, that's what I thought, what if."

Li Ran looked at Zhou E with a slight smile.
