At present, there is almost silence in the camp, Liu Ling looked at Li Hanning in front of him and didn't dare to speak, he was waiting for Li Hanning to weigh the pros and cons, waiting for her to make a final choice.

She wants to fight this battle, and the river in front of her is Yanyun Ten Prefectures, as long as Liang Zhou wins this battle, all the land guards to the south cannot be their opponents, victory seems to be within reach, and then the entire Central Plains is surnamed Xiao.

She remembered the promise she made to Xiao Ce when she left Chang'an, and she also knew that this battle was of great significance to Xiao Ce.

But as far as she is concerned, if Xiao Ce is gone, what if she unifies the Central Plains?

If Xiao Ce really has an accident this time, according to the current situation in the world, even if the Central Plains is unified, it will fall apart sooner or later, and it will only be more chaotic than when Daliang was still there, and after Xiao Ce, no one in the Xiao family can do what he did.

Li Hanning has already made a decision, or she has no choice at all.

Li Hanning took out the talisman from himself, put it on the table, looked at Liu Ling in front of him and said:

"I gave you a very important thing, I work hard for you to take it to Luochuan, find Lu Changfeng and hand over this thing to him, I will write him another letter, and he will understand when he sees the content of the letter."

Until the last resort, Li Hanning will not trouble Lu Changfeng, but now it has reached the last resort, in the past month, there has been no real news from Chang'an, they even knew about the epidemic, and they didn't know what was going on over there, she had to prepare for the worst.

Liu Ling had already understood her decision, it was just such an important thing as a talisman, his master had entrusted it to him, Li Hanning trusted him so much, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would not live up to this trust.

After he put the letter and the talisman close to him, he still looked at the person in front of him with some unease and asked:

"Then where is Master going next?"

"I'm going back to Chang'an."

Thinking of this, Li Hanning subconsciously frowned and said: "Your Highness's life and death are unknown at the moment, if I am lucky this time and see that he is fine, I will return to Southern Xinjiang as soon as possible." ”

But even if Li Hanning didn't say it, she and Liu Ling also knew in their hearts that now that the epidemic in Chang'an is so fierce, His Royal Highness is afraid that he will be in big trouble.

But the construction of this side of southern Xinjiang has to be sent on the string, and Li Hanning can't withdraw the army at such a critical time, so she plans to go back alone this time, and she won't bring the soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang, if the epidemic in Chang'an really spreads, she doesn't want the remaining soldiers to go back and take this risk.

Liu Ling actually had a lot to say to Li Hanning, but he didn't know how to open his mouth when the words came to his mouth, at this point, he was a bit like his master, and he spit out the words to his mouth for a long time, but it became a simple four words:

"Master, be careful on the road."

"You too, you've worked hard this time, when you see Lu Changfeng, you will follow him back to southern Xinjiang, don't go back to Chang'an yet."

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment: "But-"

Li Hanning just looked at him and comforted: "Don't worry, I experienced that epidemic in Chang'an two years ago, and if you were there, I would be distracted." ”

In his eyes, since he met Li Hanning, she seemed to be omnipotent in the barracks, every soldier here knew her and respected her, Liu Ling once felt that nothing in this world could help them.

He was suddenly a little afraid that Li Hanning would return to Chang'an single-handedly like this, would there be any surprises, and whether he would never see his master this time.

Just like when he attacked Chang'an before, the big brother who treated him well in the military camp was killed by the soldiers of Daliang, and the separation between the worlds always came suddenly, but he was not ready to say goodbye.

Li Hanning seemed to know what he was worried about, Liu Ling always had to suffer more than other children of the same age, in fact, she was also fully prepared, if she really had a case, Lu Changfeng would also take good care of him.

This is also the reason why Li Hanning asked Liu Ling to go to Luochuan, she could see before that Lu Changfeng liked this child very much, otherwise she would not have written down her art of war and her experience in leading the army for so many years before leaving for him.

Li Hanning said: "Don't worry, since you call me Master, you have to believe me, I will come back safely, and His Royal Highness King Ming will too." ”

They have experienced so many things together in the past, whether it is the battlefield of swords and swords, or the snowy north, or Luoyang and Huai'an, which hide bloody wind and rain, they have experienced so many things, how could they lose to a small Chang'an epidemic.

Liu Ling sighed, although he was reluctant and worried in his heart, but there was still a long time to go from here to Luochuan, and he didn't dare to delay the way to help his master, he finally glanced back at Li Hanning, and then turned around and walked out of the tent.

After Liu Ling left, Li Hanning wrote another letter to Ning Yu, she had known Ning Yu for so long, so she naturally believed that her military advisor could stabilize the situation here before Lu Changfeng came here after she left.

As for Shen Qiuchi, after getting along with each other during this time, Li Hanning naturally trusted him.

Li Hanning had already written the letter here, put the pen on the inkstone, and the ink on the rice paper here had not yet dried, so she looked up at the outside of the tent, and the guards guarding outside came from afar:

"I don't know what General Li's orders are?"

Li Hanning said quietly: "Call the military advisor over, tell him that I have something urgent, and let him put down the things in his hand first." ”

"Yes."

When Ning Yu arrived, Li Hanning's tent was empty, Ning Yu looked around to see that there was no one, and it was a little strange why this person called her over, but she herself was gone.

Speaking of which, it was really strange for Li Hanning and his apprentice to rush one by one today, but fortunately, he didn't have much to do today, so he just waited here.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see Li Hanning's figure, Ning Yu looked around, and waited for a long time before noticing the letter on the bookcase, which was written by Li Hanning himself, and the ink was still wet in a few places, and it seemed that it had just been written.

"I'm sorry military advisor, the reason why I didn't wait to see you is because I know you won't agree, so I have to cut it first, and I must rush back to Chang'an immediately today."

The first sentence alone made Ning Yu's eyes widen subconsciously, and he swept it over, followed by the second sentence:

"Don't be busy being surprised, there has been a big change in Chang'an, I have sent Liu Ling to Luochuan to ask Changfeng, if Changfeng knows the situation here, he will rush back to southern Xinjiang quickly, it will take about five or six days, and the hard military division will work hard in the future, and I will wait for the matter of Chang'an in the future, I will personally apologize to the military division."

There was a soldier at the door who wanted to open the curtain and come in: "General Li, military advisor, General Shen asks to see." ”

"You just stand there and don't come in, let Shen Qiuchi come in alone."

"Yes."

This was indeed Ning Yu's voice, and although the soldier didn't understand what he meant, he still listened carefully to the order:

"General Shen, please, General Li and the military advisor are inside now."

Although Ning Yu felt a little surprised and troubled, the commander of the three armies was not in the barracks when the big war was imminent, and the morale and morale of the army would definitely be affected.

However, Ning Yu also understood that if it weren't for something very important on Chang'an's side, Li Hanning would not be willing to go back at this time.

Thinking of Liu Ling's strange behavior in the afternoon, he must have known the inside story, but unfortunately now he is no longer in the army, and now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, he can only hope that Changfeng can get to the south of Xinjiang soon.

However, Li Hanning had a right sentence before leaving, before that, he would stabilize the situation here, and he Ning Yu could indeed do it.

Ning Yu's gaze fell on Shen Qiuchi, who was walking towards him.

*

Li Hanning is rushing back to Chang'an at night, she doesn't plan to rest at night, she changes to a fast horse every time she goes to a post station, and it takes about seven or eight days to get there, but it only took two days and two nights for her to get there.

When approaching Chang'an, Li Hanning felt for the first time that Nanjiang was so far away from Chang'an, and it took so long for her to rush back, hoping that she could catch up.

I don't know what the situation in Chang'an is, she has heard Liu Ling say before, there are soldiers stationed by the Xue family nearby, Li Hanning has also heard a lot of things along the way, there are about a few thousand soldiers who lived here before, a few days ago Xiao Sheng ordered some to come from Luoyang, looking at the people patrolling nearby, there should be 30,000 or 40,000 people.

Li Hanning naturally knew in his heart that Xiao Sheng's crown princess was surnamed Xue, and the generals surnamed Xue naturally had to be driven by him, so when he was about to arrive in Chang'an, Li Hanning entered the teahouse where he was resting.

Because I happened to see it from a distance outside, a few Luoyang soldiers sitting and chatting here.

Sure enough, as soon as I sat down here, I heard the voice of the soldiers chatting around the table not far away:

"Alas, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and this disease will only get more and more troublesome."

"But no, now the people in Chang'an City are becoming more and more dissatisfied, and they are all rumoring that there was no such epidemic in the first place, and our people in Luoyang had to attack Chang'an, but they were punished by God, and God punished them, so the epidemic fell, saying that we had affected them."

Another person hurriedly swallowed a sip of tea: "This is not nonsense. ”

"But this epidemic came so strangely that there was no warning at all."

"It's really troublesome to go on like this, a few days ago I heard that the food in Chang'an City is getting less and less, and the people can't stay at home anymore."

Another person lowered his voice and said: "Don't tell others, a few days ago, there was a group of people who had no food at home and wanted to go out of the city, but General Xue was not allowed to drive them back, and as a result, there was a dispute with them, and General Xue ordered to shoot and kill several of them. ”
