King Zheng issued an order, all the forbidden army guards and five thousand Sizhou soldiers immediately stopped and re-lined up, as if-for-tat, they actually put up a defensive position against the Wuping army five miles away, and the eight hundred shield players shouted in unison and firmly erected a shield wall at the front of the team, and then calmly made way of a road, and a team of light horses in shining armor galloped out and headed towards the east gate of Langzhou.

And the movements of King Zheng and his entourage, Langzhou can see it clearly.

The 10,000 elite soldiers who had just arrived in front of the East City Gate had already been under the command of Liu Jiangsheng and Zhu Kuangcong, densely lined up in an attack formation, and the soldiers were all in a tiger's back, wearing armor and sharp, a team of 100 people, separated by 20 steps, and 10,000 soldiers and horses were created into an atmosphere of 100,000 troops.

Li Yuan, the commander of the Wuping Army, was not in the military formation at this time, but was comfortably hidden in the east city building with high eaves and long walls, several antique tables and eucalyptus were displayed in it, and the stove at the four corners was burning with bird smoke, making the few calligraphy and paintings on the wall a little hazy, and the air was filled with a surging warm fragrance, but it was quite comfortable and elegant.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the room was in armor, and the sound of the array could be clearly heard outside, I really thought that I was in a certain literary hall.

The remnant sun outside the window shone into the ground in the city tower, and through the twilight reflection, Li Yuan and Xu Kuangheng could be seen smiling head-on, holding a lamp opposite each other, drinking tea while listening to the reports of the soldiers who kept coming in and out.

According to Li Yuan's arrangement, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses urgently transferred to the east gate, the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city were also mobilized, and all of them left the barracks and went to guard the city gates.

As soon as the military order was given, Langzhou City was wandering up and down, with an atmosphere of facing a great enemy, especially the common people, when they saw that there were soldiers and horses passing by on the street, they did not dare to ask more at the same time, they sighed, and then consciously returned home and closed the door, this familiar scene was like the scene of Liu Yan when he went west in the past.

The two gates on the city tower have their own Li Yuan's personal guards on duty, these guards who shoulder the responsibility of protecting the marshal are carefully selected from the pro-guard army, and their loyalty is also quite reliable.

Liu Jiangsheng called eagerly outside the door, Li Yuan immediately tensed his nerves, put down the teacup and got up straight, waved his hand and ordered the guard next to him to take the initiative to open the door. I saw Liu Jiangsheng dressed in a strong suit, with a long sword hanging from his waist, although his face was conspicuously tired, his eyes were bright, and when he saw Li Yuan, he arched his hand with a stern face: "The last general has seen a handsome!" ”

Li Yuan nodded lightly and hurriedly asked, "Why did you come up in person?" But what's going on outside the city? ”

"Dashuai, King Zheng's soldiers and horses stopped five miles away, and he ordered someone to send a message, saying that there is an edict to be announced, please go and listen to the edict! The last general hurried to ask if the commander wanted to meet them. Liu Jiangsheng said in a deep voice.

"It's here, why don't you stop? Didn't Ben Shuai arrange for you to be welcomed? Li Yuan frowned slightly, and it seemed that the situation was a little different from what he expected.

Then he asked, "Isn't it Zhu Kuangcong what is he doing?" ”

Liu Jiangsheng paused and replied: "That's the case, Dashuai, didn't you give the order that the army will soon be transferred to Yiyang?" Zhu Du's envoy suggested that anyway, 10,000 soldiers and horses are here, so it is better to set up an attack formation first, so as to prepare for the march at any time......"

Li Yuan reacted instantly, and shook his head helplessly: "No wonder King Zheng didn't dare to approach, Ben Shuai just ordered you to assemble, who made you form an attack formation?!" Zhu Kuang is messing around, why do you let him go? ”

Liu Jiangsheng replied with a resolute hand: "Dashuai, the last general thinks that Zhu Du's suggestion is good, then King Zheng is too deceitful, we already know what happened in front of the government office, you can bear it, but the soldiers can't bear it!" Just kill his sharpness! ”

Li Yuan frowned and was about to speak, but he saw Xu Kuangheng on the side slowly step forward, looked at each other for a while, and then swallowed his words.

"Dashuai, at this time, the people who came to the city are also very arrogant, and they don't even get off the horse, they just shout for you to go and see King Zheng immediately!"

Li Yuan turned around and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's going to be time soon." Xu Kuangheng said.

Li Yuan sneered: "When the sky is dark but not dark. Dog thing, this is on the bar with Ben Shuai! I just arrived here thousands of miles away, and I don't even breathe but I want to get off the horse! Zhu Kuangcong did a good job, and he was going to lead King Zheng to lead the army to Yiyang with us, but this is good, but it scared people so much that they didn't dare to come! ”

Xu Kuangheng smiled firmly: "King Zheng didn't dare to come, but he was anti-guest-oriented, and wanted to use the proclamation to suppress the handsome!" Interesting, interesting! Dashuai, the court has a will, it should be accepted, this is our Langzhou, not Jinling, the army is behind him, and he King Zheng doesn't dare to do anything! ”

Li Yuan closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Jiang Sheng, you go and tell the person who came, and ask him to go back and inform King Zheng, so he said that at this time, Yiyang is in danger and is fighting, and this commander needs to rush to help, and it is urgent." Since the imperial court ordered King Zheng to come to work the army, he should have announced the decree before the army, and the soldiers are now fighting bloodily in the front, how can His Majesty's kindness be subdued by the commander, this matter is not appropriate. ”

Liu Jiangsheng was stunned and said, "Dashuai, this ...... Okay? If the Qin Cha wants to announce the decree, he will count the emperor's order, and I am afraid that such a reply will be realized......"

Li Yuan smiled playfully: "What's wrong? Your Majesty's parents and sons are coming, and you all dare to put on a posture, why are you worried about the ups and downs now? ”

Then Zhengse said: "Mr. Fang is right, King Zheng ordered the marshal to listen to the order first, and it is clear that it is intentional, and he wants to suppress us in momentum, since the soldiers are all dissatisfied, the marshal should naturally obey the will of the army, how can he let King Zheng and them have the upper hand?" replied like this, and if he wanted to announce the decree, he would go to Yiyang with Ben Shuai, where the soldiers were waiting to bathe in the emperor's grace! ”

Liu Jiangsheng swallowed his saliva, nodded hurriedly in agreement, and hurriedly exited the door after saluting.

Xu Kuangheng listened to the whole process and said in a low voice: "King Zheng probably won't accept it, if he follows the advice of the marshal, firstly, it will damage his prince's face, and secondly, it will tire his own soldiers and horses...... Alas! It's the time of the big war, and I, Wu Ping, am already exhausted, but the imperial court has sent such a big trouble, it's really a headache......"

Li Yuan also felt the same way, and sighed softly: "That's true! Ben Shuai has just come back from Dongxi, and he has to deal with the war in Chenzhou and Yiyang immediately, and he is already lacking in skills! If it weren't for this King Zheng's provocation first, Ben Shuai really didn't have the heart to deal with him!

At this moment, Ben Shuai is also very aggrieved in his heart, since His Majesty has ordered me to deal with the Han army, I will not send troops and horses to help, why bother to send this annoying King Zheng over to disturb people's hearts? It's also a labor army, just adding blockage! ”

Xu Kuangheng suddenly arched his hand and said: "Dashuai, I feel more and more strange in my heart now, he took advantage of the fact that Dashuai did not return, so he couldn't wait to send the forbidden army into Langzhou City first, and then imposed martial law in front of the Jiedu Embassy, I am afraid that this trip has ulterior motives, and it is not just a battle of momentum!" That week, Xingfeng was very familiar with Langzhou, so we must be careful......"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Mr. reminded me that Ben Shuai had already noticed it, but he hadn't broken it, so he thought about leading them elsewhere." Let's see how King Zheng replies, let's discuss again, if they really have ulterior motives for Ben Shuai, the more Ben Shuai does not cooperate, the faster they will expose themselves, anger and eagerness can often make people lose their minds, but Yu Ben Shuai is advantageous. ”

Seeing that Li Yuan was so determined, Xu Kuangheng was full of concerns, but he could only temporarily go along with it, and took a few steps to take care of himself, but saw that Li Yuan had returned to his seat and poured tea and drank it alone, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
