Chapter 387: Tranquility Before the Storm (1)

Gao Lin looked at the child on the horse, and in a trance, he saw the Jin King Li Xianyue's golden iron horse, and the spirit of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

He's so young, but he has that kind of spirit.

Li Qianrong is more than eight years old, strong and strong, riding a foal, and he also has a look.

They were only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, but they were only encircled by the Southern Wu army, and there were only more than 8,000 soldiers and horses.

This is not the closest they have ever been to Chang'an City, the closest time is only more than seventy li, they only pick the weak areas of the Southern Wu people to attack, and then continue to gather men and horses to strengthen themselves.

Gao Lin was smart enough, he knew that he was not the opponent of the Southern Wu army in the face of hard encounters, so he learned the fighting methods of those nomads, explored the weak areas, and ran away, leaving the Southern Wu army exhausted.

The most important point is that in addition to them, there are many forces in the Northern Tang Dynasty, which make the Southern Wu people anxious.

At present, among them, Li Chengqing, the king of Wei, and Li Dejiang, the king of Qi, have the most momentum and the most people, but those two are not smart enough, relying on their high status and strong numbers, they are too ostentatious, attracting the greatest attention of the Southern Wu people, although the Southern Wu people did not gather troops to kill them, but he knew very well that Jin An's eyes had fallen on them.

He could foresee that in the near future, with a wave of Jin An's big hand, the scene of those two groups of arrogant soldiers and horses would be wiped out.

And although they raised the name of Li Qianrong, they did not swagger through the market, and what they got was not a group of rabble who were very excited but had no gold content.

Their men and horses are based on the former Northern Frontier Army as the core, in addition to Bai Congyun and Ashinaqin left after the war, there are also veterans and veterans who once belonged to it, and the brothers of veterans, basically all of whom are people with feelings.

There have always been rumors in the Northern Xinjiang Army that Li Xianyue was forced to death by Li Zenan's palace mutiny, and there are even many people who know that the real successor of the first emperor is Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, so it is conceivable that they also feel that since Li Zenan gave up the emperor's position to the Southern Wu people, they should support Li Qianrong.

The most important thing is that the child is in the army now, they all see it, they like that child, that child has a very special temperament, a bit like Li Xianyue, so that they can find a familiar feeling, of course, in addition to Li Xianyue's, there are other qualities, even if they don't know who those traits come from and who teaches them. Starting

Gao Lin was silent for a while, looking at the child on the horse, thinking of Tie Shan Wu a few months ago.

Tie Shan Wu handed Li Qianrong into his hands, that was what they had agreed on, and the people here strongly demanded to support that child, Li Qianrong came here to be the road of fate, otherwise, presumably the Ji royal family would still hunt down Li Qianrong, at this point, Ji Ruhai may not be softer than Li Zenan.

But Tie Shan only stayed for a day and left, without saying where he was going.

He was a little worried about Tie Shanwu, and he didn't know the news of Guan Kuo at present, what happened to these two people, it seemed that he had lost contact with them.

He was ready to retreat, as the Southern Wu army surrounded him.

However, he learned that Li Chengqing, the king of Wei, Li Dejiang, the king of Qi, and the general of Qiguo and other soldiers and horses of the five or six routes had prepared to attack Chang'an City, with a total of more than 50,000 horses.

They will contain the forces of Southern Wu in all aspects with some other soldiers and horses with a small number of soldiers, and strive for the opportunity for the King of Wei and others to get close to Chang'an City, and as for the further matters, we will talk about it later.

Regardless of whether those people are killing themselves or not, there must be a storm coming, and before those people die, the Southern Wu side will have a headache.

……

……

The glorious Nanwu Imperial Palace.

The magnificent complex leaves a huge shadow on the ground.

Ji Ruhai was in the study to review the folds.

Four and a half months have passed since Li Zenan's surrender, and it should have been a long, long time, but he didn't feel that way, he just felt that every day was the same busy, and everything in a trance was only yesterday.

Because the Northern Tang people are really capable of making trouble, just like their Southern Wu people.

At those times, his Jinling was breached, and he was imprisoned in the cold palace, and there were still people who were not afraid of death and people from the Northern Tang Dynasty who were not afraid of death, and the same is true now.

He may be able to choose to give up some of the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, gather his forces, and take it step by step, but now the plate is too big, and it will not end well.

He is also an emperor, not as eloquent as the first emperor and Li Zenan, but he also hopes to create eternal glory, and once he swallows something, he will not want to spit it out again.

He is in such a state now, although he works day and night and his body is getting thinner and thinner, but he still does not stop, and he is not willing to retreat a step.

The Northern Tang Dynasty has collapsed, Li Zenan has already surrendered, and there are just some clowns who jump off the beam, why should he back down?

The war reports continued to be passed from the north, and he was already aware of the attempts of the King of Wei and the King of Qi to besiege Chang'an City, and he instructed Jin An to defeat and destroy them, but in addition to those people, there were also rebels elsewhere, and they could not really gather forces in one pot.

So it's bound to make them scramble for a while.

So he will have some decisions that affect the fate of some people.

He was working on a list, and another list had some names on it.

Those names are the characters they control, and he needs to pick out some, if not all, of them, and kill.

Yes, killed.

He wrote a lot of names, was a little tired, rubbed his sore arm, and took a sip of tea.

His gaze swept over the many names, as if he were scrutinizing and considering.

After a long time, he continued to write.

The black ink implies red blood, and in his pen, countless people's butcher's knives will be lifted, and then countless people will be killed in blood.

He had been deciding for three days, the list was long, there were more than five hundred, and each one he had to know that person and consider the outcome of killing him.

Today is the third day, the sun is setting in the west, the temperature is getting cooler, and winter is getting closer.

He looked up at the setting sun outside, finally took a deep breath and wrote down a nameβ€”

Li Zenan.

He was ready to break his agreement and kill this man.

But his pen, after it was written, hung in mid-air for a long time.

He pondered for a moment, then finally crossed out the name.

Li Zenan made him vigilant, he was worried about the existence of the other party, but he was also worried about the serious consequences that would occur if he did something against him.

"Come," he said, stamping the seal and sealing the secret message, "pass it on." ”

The father-in-law took it cautiously, knelt down and bowed, and prepared to go out.

"Wait." But Ji Ruhai stopped him.

"Bring it." He said again.

The father-in-law didn't know why, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only do it.

Ji Ruhai opened the secret decree again and added a name-

Tube wide.

"Take it." He said again.
