There is news in the north that Liu He, the new emperor of the Huns, has escaped from the encirclement with his courtiers and successfully joined Liu Cong, but I heard that their brothers are not harmonious, and in the past half a month, Liu Cong has not even sent troops to occupy an area, and Beigong Chun and Zu Ti have been given time to recuperate.

Beigong Chun even asked for orders to come back to deal with Shi Le.

Thinking that the situation in the north is undecided now, and Ming Ming is still in the enemy camp, Zhao Hanzhang did not let him come back, let him continue to stay in Jizhou, if the Xiongnu are really in chaos, they simply snatch Jizhou down.

Zhao Hanzhang is ambitious, and she has asked the king of Qin in various places in the name of Emperor Jin to destroy the Xiongnu and save Emperor Jin, but at present, except for Jingzhou, few people in other states and counties have responded.

Zhao Ming wrote to her: "You are just the assassin of Yuzhou, and the emperor orders the world, and your name is not right. The emperor fell into the Xiongnu, the crown prince died, as an important minister of the Jin state, you should set up another prince for the Jin."

Zhao Hanzhang pressed this letter and did not reply for a long time, until there were few responders, and Wang Dao used the name of King Langya to coerce and lure Jiangdong Jiangnan, Yangzhou and other places gradually had the voice of promoting King Langya as the emperor, Zhao Hanzhang replied to Zhao Ming, "Do your best to find the direct blood relatives of the ancestors."

When Zhao Ming received the letter, it was already very close to the time of the counteroffensive, and he thought while replying to the letter, I don't know if he could receive the letter before the war, if not, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deliver the letter during the war.

Neither of them knew that the person they were looking for was in Ningling County, which was not far from them.

Yuan Li had a child in his arms, followed by eight people, one of whom also had a child in his hand, they hurriedly hid in a village, the two guards scattered and looked around, came back and said to Yuan Li: "The village is empty, no one."

Another answered, "I haven't eaten anything."

Xun Fan and Xun Zu, who were surrounded in the middle, were old, and they couldn't help but sit on the ground when they stopped, tired and embarrassed.

Yuan Li put down the child he was holding, and said with a calm face, "Look around again to see if there is a cellar."

He took out a piece of bread from his bosom, broke it in two, and divided it directly among the two children.

The others swallowed and looked away, leaving the two guards behind while the others went out to find food.

In fact, there were not many guards, except for Yuan Li, there were only five people, two children, one was the nine-year-old King Yuzhang, and the other was the ten-year-old King Qin.

The two old men Xun Fan and Xun Group were the uncles of King Qin, and there was another person...... Yuan Li looked up at the other party with a heavy gaze - Yan Ding.

Yan Ding is the old official of Yuzhou, and Zhao Hanzhang continued to use the former officials after taking office, and he was called the old official in Yuzhou, in contrast to the new officials appointed and dismissed by Zhao Hanzhang himself.

At the beginning of the year, his mother was mourned, and he wrote to Zhao Hanzhang and resigned, wanting to return to his hometown for the funeral.

Zhao Hanzhang agreed, but I don't know why he stayed in Mixian County and didn't leave, and even entangled many good hands, Yuncheng fell, King Qin and King Yuzhang ran away in chaos, and fled together under the protection of the palace guards.

On the way, I happened to meet the two uncles of King Qin, Xun Fan and Xun Group.

The two of them led the two princes to Yuzhou, ran halfway, and before they entered Yuzhou, they met Shi Wangbi, the former commander of the Fu army, Shi Liu Chou, and Li Xin, Zhongshulang, who also fled.

Everyone ran together.

Because there were people fleeing everywhere, their luggage was scattered, and they could not run fast at all with two ox carts and two legs, and they first heard that the emperor had been captured, and then they received the news that Gou Xi had surrendered to Shile.

Liu Chou and the others thought about it, and felt that the Jin State had come to this point and was dead, and then Zhao Hanzhang and his ilk would only resist for a few years, and Liu Yuan's re-attack would belong to the process of unifying the world.

So they took advantage of the fact that everyone was hungry and directly drew their knives to kill the two prince's guards, chamberlains, etc., and wanted to take the two of them to surrender to Liu Cong.

The two old men of Xun Fan and Xun Group struggled to resist, and in a panic, they ran to Mi County with the two little princes, and happened to meet Yan Ding, Yan Ding fought back, and also joined the ranks of protecting the two little princes.

As soon as he joined, he asked the team to go west to Chang'an and offered to escort him.

His reason was, "Now that the Central Plains is full of war, there are rebels and homeless people everywhere, and the king of Qin and Langya is very dangerous here, so it is better to go west to Chang'an, where there is Fu."

When the time comes, Fu Zhongshu can set up a platform to make the world stable."

However, Xun Fan and Xun Group were opposed.

Mainly Xun Fan, he thinks that this place is not very far from Chen County, and they don't need to go to Chang'an at all, they go directly to Chen County to find Zhao Hanzhang's people.

Yan Ding said solemnly: "I am an official of Yuzhou, I have watched coldly in the past few years, Zhao Hanzhang has acted quite disobediently, and at this time, sending the two princes over is not sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?" Never."

But Xun Fan is over sixty years old, who hasn't seen anyone at his age? He saw through Yan Ding at just one glance, not to mention, he had only seen Zhao Hanzhang in the court not long ago.

He doesn't know if Zhao Hanzhang has a heart of disobedience, but she respects the emperor more than Gou Xi, her heart is softer than Gou Xi, and she is more normal than the ministers who have mastered the government in the past, so even if she has this heart, she will try her best to protect the two princes at present.

And to go to Chang'an, not only are there chaotic troops and displaced people on the road, the road is difficult, Chang'an is also westerly, it is difficult to command the world, so you should still go to Chen County.

Xun Fan insisted, but they were just a few of them, old and young, and they couldn't afford to refuse.

Yan Ding took them and went to Chang'an.

Yuan Li pursued them all the way and found them halfway, he and Yan Ding fought, almost losing both, and in the end Xun Fan came forward to dissuade them, thinking that even if it was for the sake of the two little princes, they could not fight among themselves at this time.

Yuan Li joined the team and strongly asked to go back to Chen County.

Before Yan Ding could object, they encountered a team of Shi Le, there were not many people, and they came out to scavenge for grain and grass, and they happened to see this group of people who were not ordinary people at first glance.

In the melee, Yuan Li did not forget his purpose, and fought and retreated in the direction of Chen County.

As a result, they went astray and accidentally fell into Ningling, and the Shile army captured Ningling, they did not dare to enter the city, and the county was full of Hu people who were looting money and fleeing refugees, which can be said to be difficult.

They had nothing to eat, so they had to grab it with the homeless.

After a while, the guards returned, bringing back five pieces of wild taro, only a little bigger than the child's fist, but they were very happy, "General, it is very fortunate that there is a field of wild taro at the back of that house, but unfortunately it was almost dug up, and I searched for a long time to find these five."

Yuan Li nodded and motioned for him to make a fire and cook it.

He stepped forward to look at King Yuzhang, who had a pale face, and respectfully comforted him, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, the Zhao family army has surrounded Ningling, and we only need to endure it for a while before we can see the history of the assassination."

"As long as you see Thorn History, you will be safe, and you can eat whatever you want when the time comes."

In Yuan Li's opinion, the most suitable person to be the next emperor is King Yuzhang, he is the younger brother of the crown prince, he is also younger than King Qin, and his temperament is weak, so he is just being pinched.
