In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Around Chang'an, in a golden color, an army from Hebei and an army returning from Xiliang met in Chang'an City.

On the main road of Chang'an City, Li Zhien, the assassin of Yongzhou, prepared a grand welcome ceremony.

Pick up the wind for Park Jingli, who triumphed in the expedition to Liangzhou, and at the same time cheer for Li Xiuman, who is about to go to Yizhou.

The loess mat road, the clean water splashes the street, solemn and festive.

Chang'an, it's been a long time since it's been so lively.

……

The gate of Chang'an City.

Xu Huabiao, with the civil and military forces of Chang'an City, went out to meet Li Xiuman's army who personally conquered Yizhou.

"Brother Hua Biao!"

“……”

“…… What's wrong? Am there something wrong with me? ”

Li Xiuman was a little stunned, looked at his body, and pressed his face with his hand.

"Your Royal Highness King Wei, your hair...... This time it's completely white? ”

“…… When you get older, some things are inevitable! Li Xiu was full of flurry, laughed, and shook his head, "You are still young, when you reach my age, you can see if your own hair is white!" ”

"But more than half a year ago, it was only half ......"

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Li Xiuman came to Xu Huabiao's side with a smile, grabbed Xu Huabiao's arm, "Let's go into the city, sit down and talk!" ”

"Yes." Xu Huabiao nodded.

"And ...... Virtuous brother! ”

"What does His Royal Highness King Wei command?"

"Didn't we say yes? You call me brother! How to open your mouth and close your mouth again, His Royal Highness the King of Wei again...... Others shout like this, you can't shout like that, virtuous brother! ”

“…… Good. ”

Xu Huabiao smiled and nodded.

And behind Li Xiuman, the crowd that followed him from Hebei was obviously a little commotion.

……

A King of Wei and a Duke of Yiguo, the two walked into Chang'an City side by side, and in the city, the mansion that had been prepared for a long time in order to welcome Li Xiuman had been sprinkled and cleaned up, waiting for the arrival of guests.

The group entered the mansion like this.

There was a period of greetings, and then, it was Wenwu, who followed Li Xiuman, who was arranged by Li Zhien to rest, and everyone else left.

In the hall, only Xu Huabiao and Li Xiuman were left.

"I said, brother, what kind of play are you playing at the city gate!"

Seeing that there was no one left, the tone in which Xu Huabiao and Li Xiuman spoke changed suddenly.

"What's out of that? I still want to ask you, what does it mean to call me His Royal Highness King Wei? To whom, you! Li Xiuman didn't want to give in at all.

"Show it to your daughter! Save her from thinking that I don't give her face. Xu Huabiao smiled, "What do you mean by asking your daughter to ask me to attack Yizhou?" ”

"It's just to let you participate in my expedition to Yizhou!" Li Xiuman's face was serious, "What, you don't want to?" ”

"I don't want to! The soldiers in Luoyang have been in Liangzhou for so long, they have to let their family go home! Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Otherwise, the soldiers mutinied, what should I do?" ”

“…… You yourself don't let the soldiers attack, you keep dragging it, blame me? Li Xiuman still refuses to give up.

"My soldiers are waiting for your Liangzhou assassin Shi to deal with Liu Xianhua first!"

"My Liangzhou Thorn History? Are you embarrassed to say such a thing? Li Xiuman waved his hand, "Don't say that Park Chulong is not my person, or Park Jingli, I think I have been pulled by you, right?" ”

"Park Kyung-ri really doesn't." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Chu Long...... I don't know if she's a hypocrisy with me. ”

“…… Alright, let's be sincere! Li Xiuman waved his hand, "Your soldiers don't go to Hanzhong, it's okay, but your people must go." ”

“…… You've brought so many people with you, why should I go with you? ”

"Do you really think I still have the energy to command a war now?" Li Xiuman laughed, "This time to conquer Yizhou, Bao'er is not here, and Taeyeon can't go, if you don't go to command, will it be difficult for Meiying or Xiaoyuan to command?" It's okay for them to charge into battle as generals, and they are the masters...... The big picture is not good! ”

"You're so bad now?" Xu Huabiao interrupted Li Xiuman's words and glanced at him.

"Didn't you notice that I came to Chang'an in a carriage this time?" Li Xiuman sighed a little embarrassed, "When did you see me in a carriage before?" I'm a general!! ”

“…… Then, General Shiki can too! If Boa and Taeyeon can't lead troops for you in the future, you will have to train two new ......."

"Are you going or not?" Li Xiuman waved his hand and interrupted Xu Huabiao's words.

"I don't want to go." Xu Huabiao refused very simply, "Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I met my second brother on the battlefield?" ”

"Yun Chang is in Gangneung." Li Xiuman shook his head, "Hanzhong sent troops to the Sword Pavilion, and the guard there is Zheng Zhixun." You won't meet the cloud chief. ”

“…… But I still don't want to go. ”

"It's not a question of whether you want to or not." Li Xiuman sighed softly, "Then you plan to go back to Luoyang?" ”

"I know you won't be at ease when I go back to Luoyang......"

"It's not me, it's Yoon-ho." Li Xiuman shook his head, "If you leave Chang'an, I think he will be able to arrange a general for Chang'an." If you go to Hanzhong with me and borrow ten of his guts, he won't dare to use Chang'an's brains. ”

"You're so upset with him?" Xu Huabiao laughed.

Li Xiuman's words just now sounded like a complaint......

"The Xiangyang Taishou he appointed really disappointed me." Li Xiuman nodded, "A person who has no ability or experience in governance, just because he is from the Li family of Hongnong, he arranged to go to the important town of Jingzhou......"

"Then you won't stop him?"

"Why should I stop him? Don't let him realize how stupid what he did, he will do it again in the future! ”

“…… So how are you going to prove to him how stupid he is? ”

"Yesterday Shirley went to meet me, and last night she told me that if we want to march from Hanzhong to Shuzhong, it is best to send troops from Jingzhou, and we can get twice the result with half the effort...... Li Xiuman sighed softly, "I plan to agree to her suggestion." ”

“…… If I were you, I wouldn't do such a thing. ”

"Why? If you don't let Yun Hao see how ...... these people from these families he uses"

"Don't underestimate the second brother!" Xu Huabiao's face was serious, "If you want to mess around like this, in case the second brother thinks that Xiangyang is too guarded to deal with, he will directly lead the army to counterattack Xiangyang from Jiangling, if Xiangyang loses ......"

"If you lose it, you can call it back." Li Xiuman shook his head, "But what you said is also right...... Well, otherwise, I'd better let Meiying go back to Nanyang to sit down! It doesn't matter if Xiangyang is lost, if Nanyang is unstable, the trouble will be bigger. ”

"It doesn't matter if Xiangyang is lost...... Okay, you're really Xiangyang as a pick-up! ”

"Yes! Xiangyang was originally picked up! Otherwise, wait for this time, if Xiangyang is still in our hands, let Jin Xuexuan go back to be her Xiangyang Taishou, right? ”

“…… Kim Seo-hyun? ”

"Load! Jin Xuexuan is in Luoyang, right? Li Xiuman glanced at Xu Huabiao, "You are really ...... Anyone will be taken in. ”

"Conscience of heaven and earth, she was already in Luoyang when I came back from Jingnan, a lonely little girl, you asked me to drive her out of Luoyang?" Xu Huabiao didn't intend to deny it.

"Because of her affairs, Yun Ho wants to deal with Kwon Min-ah." Li Xiuman smiled, "But Xi Che stopped him......"

"By the way, this time you didn't bring any strategists with you?" Xu Huabiao chose to change the subject. "I didn't see Kim Hee-cheol with the army!"

Jin Xuexuan's matter is still relatively sensitive, and he doesn't want to say more.

"Xi Che has stayed in Yecheng. I brought Xiujing with me this time. However, she had to hand over some things to the party, and she didn't come so quickly. ”

"Handover?"

"Well, I'm going to appoint Park Kyung-ri to take over the party county." Li Xiuman nodded, "Xiujing...... If she makes a meritorious contribution to Yizhou this time, she will be promoted to be the assassin of the state, if not...... Let her come to Hanzhong to sit down! ”

"Even if she makes a meritorious service, it's not very likely that she will return to the state, right?" Xu Huabiao said something in his words.

Because of Zheng Xiuyan's matter, Zheng Xiujing is in Shangdang County, which is only one Huguan away from Yecheng, which really makes Li Xiuman and Zheng Yunhao a little restless.

"What, you don't want her to come to Hanzhong?" Li Xiuman was stunned for a moment, "How did I hear that you thought about letting Xiujing come to Hanzhong before?" ”

Be quiet.

Xu Huabiao's expression was strange.

"You're not the only one who has a brocade guard." Li Xiuman smiled, "Although the people under my command may not be as well-informed as Jinyiwei, there are some things that they should know, and they still know." ”

“…… I understand. Xu Huabiao took a deep breath.

Do you know that I went to Yizhou some time ago?

Xu Huabiao asked secretly in his heart.

However, Li Xiuman did not continue to say anything.

Seemingly...... Lin Yuna and Minato Sasha are still hiding very well! Lucky.

"Then you answered me! Didn't you originally ask Xiujing to come to Hanzhong? You said you changed your mind, and this time I won't transfer her out of the party!! Li Xiuman asked in a complaining tone.

"That was before, I never thought that Park Jin-young actually took down Yizhou! It wasn't the Golden Age! Xu Huabiao had a serious expression on his face and told a lie that was not very serious, "Although Xiujing has a good brain and is also very insightful about fighting, she is not a general with troops after all, and it is really irresponsible to hand over such a military town as Hanzhong to her." ”

"Then you still wanted her to come to Hanzhong before......"

"Isn't this afraid that you will anger her because of Xiuyan's affairs! In the party ...... God knows if you were beheaded that day for angering you or your son......"

"I'm not old enough to be that confused." Li Xiuman glared at Xu Huabiao fiercely, "But I definitely can't continue to leave it to Yang Zhiyuan in Hanzhong." ”

“…… Actually, I don't think it's a big problem to let Yang Zhiyuan continue to be the Taishou of Hanzhong! After all, people surrender to you......"

"I'm going to arrange for her to go to the plains to be a taishou." Li Xiuman said his own arrangement, "I still want to arrange my own people in Hanzhong." ”

Be quiet.

"Well, the plain is located in Hebei, a good place." Xu Huabiao smiled and sighed.

“…… That's not what you're trying to say, is it? Li Xiuman looked at Xu Huabiao with a deep expression.

"You all know that this fight against Yizhou will be in vain, so why do you still want to fight?" Xu Huabiao said what he had just held back for a long time.

Yes, if you have the confidence that you will win, then after this battle enters Sichuan, in a place like Hanzhong, who will be the Taishou, does it matter?

"Don't you also think that I will definitely not be able to defeat Yizhou this time?" Li Xiuman asked rhetorically.

Yes, otherwise, why can't Zheng Xiujing be the Taishou of Hanzhong?

"Because I just think you won't be able to fight, so I don't send troops to participate, but you're different! You sent troops, and you came all the way to Hanzhong ......"

"I just want to come to Hanzhong to have a look." Li Xiuman interrupted Xu Huabiao's words.

“…… Come and see?? ”

"Yes! After all, it's the land of Gaozu's dragon rejuvenation......" Li Xiuman smiled.

"You...... Moved by Yun Hao's words? ”

"If I had told you that it wasn't for my wife who told me what you said to me three months ago, I might have agreed to Yun Hao's suggestion to ask for the Son of Heaven...... Will you hate me? ”

"Your wife? What am I talking about? ”

"The original intention."

“……”

"Let there be no loneliness in the world, when I don't know how many people are called emperors and how many people are kings." Li Xiuman laughed, "This is what I have been doing all my life, but in the end, I found that I became the person I hated the most, then my life is too sad." Isn't it? ”

Quiet again.

It's been a while.

"I plan to wait for Xiujing in Chang'an and then set off for Hanzhong together, you can come along." Li Xiuman took a deep look at Xu Huabiao.

"Then am I Han Shin?" Xu Huabiao took a deep look at Li Xiuman.

"Han Xin?" Li Xiuman smiled, "My Xiao He is no longer there, Han Xin ......"

"Let's talk about it when Xiujing arrives." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Brother, you should rest first, it's been very hard all the way from Yecheng." ”

"Hmm." Li Xiuman nodded, "By the way, I noticed just now, you didn't say hello to Yun Hao." ”

“…… You want me to visit him? ”

"I'll let him visit you." Li Xiuman shook his head.

“…… I understand. Xu Huabiao took a deep breath.
