??????? Xiao Tao raised her eyes, familiar people, familiar eyebrows, familiar white robes. Xiao Tao rubbed her eyes. After making sure who was standing next to her, she jumped to her feet. Tightly tugging on Zhao Kuangyi's arm and never letting go, his body trembled slightly.

Zhao Kuangyi frowned, raised his hand and hugged Xiao Tao's back, and his voice was very soft: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Tao's tears suddenly flowed out, and she raised her hand to wipe it, but the more she wiped it, the more she wiped it, and she couldn't finish wiping it. Zhao Kuangyi was a little anxious, and his hand holding Xiao Tao tightened again: "What happened?" ”

Xiao Tao shook her head and sobbed for a long time before she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Kuangyi, and for the first time said to Zhao Kuangyi in a tone that was not so crazy and incoherent: "Childe, tell me before you leave." All right? As he spoke, tears became hazy again, "I'm so afraid that Childe will be like last time." Say goodbye without saying goodbye, and if you leave, you won't come back. Saying that, my heart was a little sour, when Qi Gongzi left last time, it was like a basin of cold water poured on Xiao Taoyue's heart, which made her a little confused. From then on, she was so scared that she didn't say goodbye. She couldn't stand the sudden disappearance.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at the teary-eyed little peach and hugged her tightly in his arms. No matter who she thought she was, but looking at her like this, Zhao Kuangyi only felt that his heart was about to break, he raised Xiao Tao's face, and said solemnly: "I promise you." No matter where you go in the future, I will tell you. ”

"Then will you be ??? like last time?" Little Momo's mind is in a mess. Talking began to fall again.

Zhao Kuangyi interrupted her in a deep voice: "No! "He doesn't like to compare himself with Qi Zhengxiu. Although Qi Zhengxiu may be a hero on the battlefield, he can't even make a promise to the woman he loves, and he can't look down on it. Zhao Kuangyi's voice was firm, "I am me, and I will not disappoint you." ”

Xiao Tao was confused when she heard this, what I am me, but then she became happy again, took Zhao Kuangyi's hand and ran to the table, pointed to the tea cake that was already cold, and said, "Look, I will wait for you to come back early in the morning." It's delicious. As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece, pouting, a little disappointed. It's not tasty now, it's cold. ”

Zhao Kuangyi took the tea cake in Xiao Tao's hand and put it in his mouth, it was a little cold, a little hard, and the taste was not good, but he still ate attentively, there was nothing to eat, and it was comparable to the deliciousness of love. He just wants to cherish the person in front of him, this scene, and this tea cake.

Xiao Tao saw that Zhao Kuangyi was eating seriously, and she smiled happily. Zhao Kuangyi was stunned for a moment, if he was like this for the rest of his life, watching her happy and carefree, who he was, it didn't matter so much?

But since then, Xiao Tao has had a lot of feelings for Zhao Kuangyi. As long as he watched him in the tent, he would sit quietly beside him and watch him, sometimes muttering and saying something incomprehensible, and most of the time he just quietly guarded Zhao Kuangyi, for fear that he would not see him again.

Looking at the little peach who served tea and grinded himself before and after running, Zhao Kuangyi's indescribable mood was touched by the slightest warmth and a little lost and lonely. After all, this emotion is not for him. Just like Xiao Tao is now delirious, she still remembers to bring him the paper of Wufu Town and give him the inkstone of Huizhou???? How could these have been his preferences?

A few days later, Zhao Kuangyi received a military order, the Zhou army began a full-scale attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty, the emperor Chai Rong personally sat in Yingluan Town, Zhao Kuangyin led the army to attack from the southeast, Li Chongjin broke through from the Luzhou area, and Zhao Kuangyi led the army to attack from the north.

The war kicked off mightily, and in less than five days, the Zhou army was completely invincible everywhere it went. Spring, this is the thriving season in the south of the Yangtze River, the pond is a picturesque season when the willows of the spring grass garden become songbirds, but under the trampling of the Zhou army's Jin Ge iron horse, all the spring flowers have become dead wood. There was only smoke everywhere, and there were few villages, and the people who were displaced. Rise, death, instantaneous things, a prosperous Tang Dynasty, in the midst of the flames, crises are everywhere.

A few days later, the army of the Zhou army besieged from the three directions of southeast, northwest and northeast, and became one, and the city north of the Yangtze River was lost in the Tang Dynasty, and the Zhou army came and went freely on the Yangtze River, and then there was no barrier.

Tang Emperor Li Jing sat in the lonely deep palace, helpless, not the first time that his heart came to his heart. From the beginning of the war to the present, every military report has always made him feel this way. Failure, one failure at a time, he didn't know how many more failures he could experience.

But now, north of the Yangtze River, there are only four lonely cities left, and there is no power to fight back. Thinking of this, Li Jing's palms unconsciously had another layer of cold sweat. The nightmare of the death of the country disturbed him every day, as long as he slept, it was either the collapse of the Tang army in the war, or the loss of mountains and rivers, or the silent and haggard face of his father. yes, what did you do? The hard-earned country has been passed to him, an unscrupulous descendant, how many times has it been to this point?

Several ministers knelt outside the door, waiting for Li Jing's order. From the fall of Jin Wuxi to the east mountain on the moon, Li Jing has been shutting himself in the door without a sound.

A more drum sounded, and the sound of more leakage was especially clear in the lonely deep palace, and Li Jing's palace door finally opened. After a while, Li Jing pointed to Chen Jue, the squire of the military department, and said, "Draft an edict, ask for peace." ”

Chen Jue's heart also hurt, not only him, but also the ministers kneeling there, but no one had a way. Seeking peace is just a euphemism, but in essence it is surrender. If you can't fight, what can you do if you don't surrender?

Chen Jue's head slammed down, he didn't straighten up for a long time, and his voice was as deep as a bell from the ground: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Outside the window, a few crows chirped sadly, wandering towards where the moon had risen.

Three days later, Chen Juefeng led the army to Yingluan Town, begged to see the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong, and presented the surrender to Chai Rong. The words in the table were very sad, and they demanded that all the remaining four states north of the Yangtze River be ceded to the Zhou dynasty, and the two countries were separated by the Yangtze River, and begged for a dismissal.

Chai Rong's expression was very gentle, but there was an irrepressible light of a victor in his eyebrows, and after a while, Chai Rong said slowly: "I originally only wanted your land north of the Yangtze River, since this is the case, that's it, that's it." ”

Chen Jue bowed his knees slightly and bowed to Chai Rong and turned to leave. Walking alone, a little desolate.

The country name of the Tang Dynasty is still "Tang", but the territorial area has changed from Jiangnan and Jiangbei to a corner south of the Yangtze River, and Li Jing is no longer called "emperor", only "lord of the country". "Like Wu Yueguo, it was attached to the Zhou Dynasty and had to pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty every year.

This is undoubtedly humiliating for Li Jing and Datang, but this kind of humiliation, mixed with sadness, is irresistible. It seems that everyone can predict the fate of tomorrow, Datang is like a mulberry leaf, being eaten away by the Zhou army little by little, but there is nothing that can be done.

After that, Wu Yueguo also expressed his position in a timely manner, sending 400 warships and nearly 20,000 soldiers to station on the south bank of Tongzhou, echoing the Zhou Dynasty and pointing directly at the Tang army.

Chai Rongdu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This old fox, Tang Jun has already come out of the table, who still uses him to do this?" What was it done earlier? "Seeing the wind making the rudder, no one compares to Wu Yue. Now that the Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty are ruled by dividing the river, the soldiers have already mediated. The Zhou army was ready to return to the court to open a banquet, and Wu Yue made such a move.

Zhao Kuangyin replied: "Today, Wu Yue came to the military report, saying that Qian Hongyi would lead the army to ask His Majesty for peace. ”

Qian Hongyi? Zhao Kuangyi heard the name familiar, and couldn't help but think of the purple-robed man who shook the fan in the winter in Kaifeng. Frowning, he drank the wine from his glass.

Chai Rong laughed and said, "Well, since you're here, you still have to meet you." Just a few days later, he returned to the court banquet, and it was a lively time for him to come. After that, he looked at Zhao Kuangyi and smiled lightly, "If you want to go back, go back and tidy up." ”

The charcoal fire behind Zhao Kuangyi jumped and burned a small hole in his cloak. Zhao Kuangyi waved his robe and didn't look at Chai Rong's expression.

Out of the camp tent, seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Kuangyin grabbed Zhao Kuangyi, and his voice was very deep: "Your Majesty just said, did you hear it?" It's time to clean up. He's staring at you. ”

"Me?" Zhao Kuangyi frowned and asked rhetorically, "What do I need to clean up?" ”

"Are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused?" Zhao Kuangyin was anxious, "The camp prostitute in your tent was brought here from the north of Yingluan Town, and now it is under Your Majesty's nose, what do you say you want to sort out?" Are you going to take her back to Kaifeng? ”

Zhao Kuangyi nodded: "Nothing can't be done." ”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, okay." After a pause, he said, "Now that the Tang Army has been annihilated, Your Majesty's next step must be the Northern Expedition." The strength of Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, is an important reliance of His Majesty, and His Majesty naturally will not let Fu Yanqing's daughter Fu Xuechan be unhappy. I can't tell you now, you can do it yourself. I have to wait for His Majesty to talk to you personally, and then I will see how you earn? After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The corners of Zhao Kuangyi's lips hooked and returned to the camp.

Xiao Tao, who was sitting at the table and looking at the oil lamp in a daze, saw Zhao Kuangyi coming back, ran over in three steps and two steps, and a smiling face without a city government bloomed: "Childe, Xiao Tao has been waiting for you for a night." Are you hungry or not, what do you want to eat? ”

Zhao Kuangyi shook his head: "I've eaten it." You should have rested early, too. "Carry it as hard as you can.

Xiao Tao was full of interest and had no intention of resting, so she reached out to help Zhao Kuangyi untie the cloak outside, and exclaimed: "Broken a hole?" Instead, he rubbed the hole with his hand, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'll make it up." After saying that, he took the cloak and sat down on the bed seriously, and began to measure how to make up for it.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Xiao Tao, who was serious, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, this woman, no matter what, he would never let go.
