At this time, Liu Mai, who already knew the news, also lost his value and hurriedly ran into the house.

"Uncle, my father was defeated and captured!" As soon as Liu Mai entered the mansion, he knelt down in front of Liu Yanjing and cried bitterly.

Liu Mai knew the situation in more detail, and he told his family that the former army led by his father Liu Xianli was completely annihilated by the Tubo people after three days and three nights of hard fighting.

Liu Yuan followed and knelt Liu Mai in front of Liu Yanjing, and continued to cry, Liu Yi had to kneel down, but he didn't cry, but his eyes were full of sad expressions.

If Liu Yi can remain calm about Liu Xianli's defeat and capture, in addition to the surname that he has in later generations to be detached and calm, it is also because Liu Yi is very unfamiliar with Liu Xianli at present.

Although Liu Xianli is Liu Yi's father, Liu Yi has not seen this father since he woke up, and there is nothing about his father in his memory, which makes Liu Yi feel a little strange to Liu Xianli, and Liu Yi does not feel the things that maintain the relationship between father and son, but subconsciously has a family affection due to blood relationship, so after hearing the news, he is not as sad as the two brothers, and he can stay calm.

But in any case, Liu Xianli is the biological father of his own body, and now that his father has been captured by the Tubo people, he has an unusual feeling, coupled with the sadness of kneeling and crying by the eldest brother who just cared for him, the worry in Liu Yi's heart also surged into his heart in an instant, and there was a kind of humiliation, the humiliation caused by the heavy setback of the proud self-confidence in his heart made Liu Yi deeply shocked.

However, Liu Yi in later generations has been an agent for many years, participated in and commanded countless operations, and has the mentality that he can calmly face anything in the face, and after hearing the uncle in front of him and the eldest brother just now roughly tell what happened, he also captured some places that others did not notice, and felt the unusualness.

It stands to reason that there is not much difference between the number of our Tang army and the Tubo army in this battle, our army has won successive victories in the previous battles, and the morale is flourishing, and the Tubo people are on the defensive to a certain extent.

His father, Liu Xianli, is also a veteran who has commanded many battles, has led the army several times, and has rich combat experience, why did he fall into the situation of being surrounded by the enemy alone? On Qinling's ability to easily surround the 30,000 horses led by his father Liu Xianli, and gather almost all of the 250,000 troops led by him to deal with his father's front army, and finally annihilate all the Tang army, where is Li Jingxuan as the commander? Why wasn't the attack followed up?

When his father Liu Xianli encountered the enemy, he would definitely send someone to inform the commander Li Jingxuan no matter what, the combat strength of the Tang army was not bad, even if the 30,000 people of the front army faced the Tubo army several times that were several times larger, they were defeated after three days and three nights, and these three days were enough time for Li Jingxuan to react and lead his troops to support, why did Li Jingxuan not lead his troops to support?

Also, what Liu Yi was puzzled about at the beginning, why did he replace the commander of the army with a civil servant Li Jingxuan, instead of Liu Renliang, who was good at fighting? What's the inside story here?

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the battle ahead, a series of mysteries surfaced in Liu Yi's mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't understand something, why did the front army led by my father not follow up and support when they were fighting alone?" ”

Liu Yi's loud questioning was like a thunderclap, which shocked Zhang Yanjing, Liu Mai, and Liu Yuan, who were crying bitterly, to stop crying!

Liu Yanjing wiped his eyes and looked at Liu Yi with a sad and angry face with some hesitation, "San Lang, what did you say?" ”

Seeing that his uncle and two elder brothers were looking at him, Liu Yi also raised his voice and said: "My army has 180,000 horses, which is not at a disadvantage, and has won several battles before, which shows that our army's combat strength is not bad, and the various departments can support each other when they march, when my father's former army was attacked by the Tubo people, if I can concentrate 180,000 horses to fight against the Tubo army, it is impossible to end up here." When my father was defeated and the army he led was annihilated, the rear army did not appear, so why did the army led by Li Jingxuan not follow up and support? ”

Several people had already heard what Liu Yi said, and while wiping their eyes, they were all thinking carefully, Zhang Yanjing thought about it for a while, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he shook his head and said, "Uncle doesn't know the specific situation either..."

"If when my father's army is surrounded by the other party, Li Jingxuan can lead the remaining 150,000 horses and horses to attack quickly, then it is uncertain who will kill the deer, and the nephew feels that there must be some unknown reason that led to the defeat of the father's army, so the nephew also wants to ask his uncle to find out this matter, whether someone deliberately trapped his father in such a dangerous situation and used the enemy's hands to get rid of his father!" Liu Yi spoke unceremoniously, and called Li Jingxuan, the name of the ruling order of the central government, several times, "My nephew thinks that there must be something unknown in this, we must find out, it is possible that my father was framed by someone!"

Liu Yanjing was also very surprised by the calmness of this youngest nephew, and when he heard this bad news at first glance, he could still think of so much, and couldn't help but look at Liu Yi twice, "San Lang, uncle will definitely do everything he can to find out about this matter!"

"Everything is pinned on my uncle, I hope that my uncle can help my father clear his name!" Liu Mai choked up and said.

"Da Lang, just now my uncle and your third brother have been discussing, we will prepare some money and things and go to Qinghai to redeem your father!" Liu Yanjing said to Liu Mai, "It's just that to go to Qinghai, you must have the will of the imperial court, my uncle wants to enter the palace to ask for the emperor and the queen, and ask for the will!"

Liu Yanjing and the emperor are now sons and daughters, and their identity is unusual, and what they thought of was also unexpected by Liu Yi.

After hearing this, Liu Mai thought for a while and said: "Uncle, my father was defeated and captured, and the court will definitely blame him, and my nephew thinks that we should enter the palace to plead guilty, and implore the emperor and queen to agree with us to go to Qinghai and let the court punish the crime after ransomed my father!"

"Uncle also knows that if your father is defeated this time, the court will definitely blame, and my uncle also wants to go outside the palace gate to ask for guilt before the court's condemnation comes down!" Liu Yanjing also nodded in agreement!

Hearing his uncle and eldest brother say this, Liu Yi was a little at a loss, if the court really wanted to condemn his father, would it be useful to do so? But the uncle and eldest brother decided, and it was difficult to question out loud.

"Da Lang, Erlang, San Lang, we will immediately kneel outside the palace gate and ask for guilt, while the court has not yet condemned the crime," Liu Yanjing saw that the three brothers did not say anything more, and immediately made a decision, "and ask the emperor to find out about this matter!"

"Yes, uncle!" The three brothers answered in unison and immediately went to prepare!;
