Several cities were lost one after another.

When the news reached Hancheng, the monarchs and ministers of Xu State were all panicked. Xu Junlong groaned, and hurriedly convened a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss countermeasures.

A group of people quarreled and couldn't come up with a result. Long Yin said angrily, "You fools! On weekdays, they eat, drink and have fun, but they are all good hands, but now the rebels are killed, and they are helpless one by one! ”

Da Sima Chen Chun hurriedly went out of class and played, and said: "The saint doesn't need to panic, Weichen Baoju will definitely be able to capture and kill the rebels!" ”

Long Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Who is Chen Aiqing protecting?" ”

Chen Chunlang said: "Today's plan is to ask the mighty general Liu Tong to go out and command the three armies to exterminate the traitors." The old general was originally fought on the battlefield, whether it was arranging troops or setting up cards and ambushes, they all had their own uniqueness, and others could not see through it. ”

When Long Yin heard this, he frowned and said: "This is extremely true, it's just that the old general is sick in bed, and he has been on sick leave for two months, and now he is not good, how can he go on the expedition?" ”

"Definitely! Definitely! Chen Chun said: "Your Majesty, the old general has always been healthy, and at this time he is only occasionally feeling cold, and the saint sent a few more imperial doctors to the old general's mansion to diagnose and treat him. ”

Long Yin nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is very true, I will send the imperial doctor immediately." ”

However, when more than a dozen imperial doctors came back from Liu's mansion, the news they brought back disappointed Long Yin. Liu Tong's illness, although it was caused by occasional cold, but because of his age, he lost his recuperation, and it became more and more serious, and he couldn't get out of bed at all.

Long Yin had no choice but to summon the ministers down to discuss. After arguing and shouting for a long time, he finally sent Yongdong, the general of Yunlu, with 300,000 horses and horses, known as 500,000, to the north to meet Li Gong.

The war is tight, and the monarchs and ministers of Xu State can't care about anything else.

Just because of this hectic situation, the garrison of other aspects of Cold City has also relaxed a lot.

So, just after Yongdong's army left the city, when the twilight of the day was approaching, there was a burly figure, wearing a huge hat, covering most of his face, riding a blue-maned horse under his crotch, quietly walked out of the back corner gate of the mansion of Liu Tong, the great general of Weilie, and rushed out of the cold city before closing the city gate, and went straight to the north.

To meet Li Gong, Yongdong was reluctant to do so, but the holy order was difficult to disobey, so he had to delay as much as possible - the weather was hot and he couldn't go, and he was afraid that the soldiers would suffer from heat stroke and couldn't respond to the enemy; The weather is raining, and I can't go, for fear of heavy rain, the soldiers are gonorrhea; You can't walk when it's windy, and according to the ministers in the army, it's not good for the army to be windy...... Therefore, the speed of this army was only slightly faster than that of the tortoise.

This figure that came out of Liu Tong's mansion soon crossed Yongdong's army.

At this time, Li Xuan's army had advanced more than a hundred miles to the south and was resting in the newly captured Antian Mansion.

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", these new young generals in the army, although they are not very old, are all alive and well when they start fighting. Li Gong was happy in his heart, specially prepared a table of banquets, and ordered Li Yu to represent himself to reward these young generals. Li Gong's move was also intended to cultivate the eldest son and the intimate relationship between the generals.

He himself was in the study with Tang Ji, holding a map and planning the next march route.

Suddenly, I saw Kou Yue coming and said: "General, when we were patrolling outside the city, we found a person with a somewhat suspicious appearance, and he refused to say anything when he asked him, only said that he wanted to see the general, did the general see it?" ”

"Oh?" Li Gong pondered for a moment and said, "What kind of person is it?" ”

Kou Yue said: "About thirty years old, very burly, riding a green-maned horse, wearing filial piety clothes, and a big hat, covering most of his face. ”

Li Gong looked at Tang Ji, Tang Ji's eyes were also full of doubts, and said, "Could it be ......?"

Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Then bring him in quickly!" ”

Kou Yue agreed, and brought this person in in a short time.

This person slowly took off the hat on his head, and Li Gong couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Qin, it's really you!" ”

Qin Ao knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried loudly, since his father was beheaded last fall, the grievances that he had held back for more than half a year had been fully vented at this moment.

Li Xuan hurriedly pulled him up and asked, "I heard that you don't know where you have gone for more than half a year, why did you find this place at this time?" ”

When Qin Ao heard this, Fang put away his tears and said, "Exactly, I have something important to tell you." For most of the past six months, I have been hiding in Uncle Liu's house, and it was Uncle Liu who took the risk to rescue me. From the day the news of your army reached the capital, Uncle Liu expected that sooner or later the faint king would send him to the battle, so he only pretended to be sick at home. Uncle Liu said that when your army arrives, he will act as an internal response and open the gate of the cold city for you! ”

Li Gong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I always thought that Uncle Liu had taken refuge in Chen Chun, but I didn't expect Uncle Liu to have other plans. It was me who was wrong. With Uncle Liu, it is naturally easy to break through the cold city, let's avenge our father, just around the corner! ”

Qin Ao said again: "I think you already know, the imperial court sent Yongdong as a general to resist you, but it's nothing, I observed Yongdong's army along the way, and I didn't want to go out at all, and I didn't have any morale at all." I think it is the wanton enjoyment of these years that has made Yongdong inert. Such an army can be crushed at the first blow. Uncle Liu said that if Yongdong is defeated, the only general who can be sent by the imperial court is Du Xin. This Dusin is extremely ruthless, but he has to guard against it. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Uncle Liu's teachings are no matter how timely, and we can also prepare in advance." Brother Qin, since you are here, you have been wronged to listen to the call in the camp, how about it? ”

Qin Ao hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted, "General, this is natural." Those places in Xu Guo still have my drawings and figures, and now although no one can take care of my affairs anymore because of the war, if I go back and be discovered, I am afraid that it will not be good. Under the account of the elder brother, it is safer to do your best for your brother. ”

Tang Ji shook the goose feather fan and said, "General Li, according to me, can only leave General Qin in this Antianfu to guard." To put it inappropriately, the family members of the Qin family are still being exiled to the south, and if General Qin is recognized on the front line, he is afraid that it will be detrimental to the Qin family. ”

Li Quan saw Qin Ao's face, there was a faint hint of pain, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Qin, you don't have to worry too much, why don't you wait for me to quietly send a few people to the south to pick up your family back?" ”

"No, no, no!" Qin Ao hurriedly stopped: "Now that the two sides are fighting, the border defense is very tight, they are old, they are small, and they are not easy to move, and they are supervised over there, so they are afraid of being discovered, but it is even worse." It's better to-" Qin Ao shook his teeth and said ruthlessly: "It's better to let them suffer for a few more days, there will always be a time when the clouds will open and see the moon." I'm sure you won't be able to hold out for long! ”
