Leng Zhuo listened to what Tang Xuan said in disbelief, who would have thought that more than half a year ago, the empire was still in peace and prosperity, and it seemed that there was nothing in the world, but it seemed that with the death of the previous Huiwu Emperor Situ Tuo, the entire empire began to fall apart.

In the northern prairie, Leng Zhuo was cut off from the empire, but who would have thought that in just one autumn, the empire would become stormy, and this eventful autumn was really not made up nonsense.

According to the practice of previous years, as the first snow fell, they would retreat back to the grassland to hide in winter, but this year, the million cavalry of Beihu showed no sign of retreating, and it seemed that they were determined to stalemate with the empire.

And now it seems that Beihu's move was not a desperate move, but an internal turmoil in the empire.

In ten days, the cage set by Emperor Shenwu was broken, and the Li family, who imprisoned the lost city, announced the restoration of the country, and once again raised the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty, and was known as the city of forgiveness where officials were exiled, and most of those officials joined the Li family's Tang rebel army.

A hundred years ago, the rebellion of the eight princes, the remnants of the eight princes, and the princes who have lost power in the past hundred years have come out, raising the banner of anti-king, fanning the flames in all directions, making the empire constantly lively.

If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, who would have believed that in just two months, the Tang army had captured half of Zhongzhou, relying on Qinluo in the north, Tianhe in the south, rejecting Qilian in the west, and reaching Shennongding in Qingzhou in the east, dominating Zhongzhou and having a million Tang troops.

At that time, the first generation of emperors of the Tianlong Empire abandoned Chang'an, the central capital of Zhongzhou, and established the capital in the southwest of Yunzhou, and built Wanlong City, in order to weaken the ruling influence of the Tang Dynasty for eight hundred years.

However, the land of Zhongzhou is Qinluo, the Tianhe River intersects, there are many rivers, although five hundred years of barrenness, the fertile land is not there, but after all, it is still a land of ointment, as long as it is reclaimed, not two or three years, it will become fertile and fertile land, become a granary.

Don't mention it too far, if the empire can't extinguish Li Tang within two years, it will basically be difficult to destroy Li Tang, because those exiled officials who have taken refuge in Li Tang's forces are all the best among the rich and wealthy lords everywhere, and those who are in high positions are greedy, and those who can be exiled to the city of forgiveness are those small fish and shrimp.

Although these people were exiled because of their crimes, the foundation is still there, and they are like a vein, connecting Li Tang with Jiangshan again, and these people who were abandoned by the Tianlong Empire, if they want to return to the old glory, they can only support Li Tang with all their hearts.

And the timing of Li Tang's restoration is also too good, as if it was carefully arranged, in July, Emperor Huiwu died, and then Beihu invaded the south, the two sides were in the north of Youzhou, Chen soldiers were millions, and when the war was endless, before the autumn harvest in October, Li Tang suddenly attacked.

In one fell swoop, he broke the cage of eight cities, captured a large number of armor, and then swept away quickly, the land of Zhongzhou, although a large area was encircled as a forbidden area, but the surrounding towns can be dense like hemp, and Zhongzhou is a plain for thousands of miles, a fertile land, just in time for the autumn harvest, and the problem of grain and grass was solved at once.

Subsequently, before the arrival of winter, it occupied two rivers in the north and south, two mountains in the east and west, and with the advent of winter, the empire had to consider one or two even if it went on an expedition, which gave it an opportunity to rest, digest the gains, and straighten out the interior, and the Beihu army took root and did not leave, which was also the main reason why the empire could not send troops and horses.

And there are many exiled officials who have fled out, the royal prince who was imprisoned in the termination city in the past, is even more fueled by the fire, Situ Tuo has been the emperor for more than 30 years, and his brothers back then are still alive and well, although these people have been uprooted, and their cronies and courtiers have also been implicated, but it is so easy to cut the grass and eradicate it.

The local gate valves, the officials in the same vein, have been entangled for hundreds of years, and they can't sort out all kinds of things at all, and after these people came out, they immediately stirred up the storm and made a miasma of smoke everywhere.

In short, the empire is very chaotic now, there are anti-kings everywhere, there are rebels everywhere, and it seems that the dissatisfaction with the rule of the empire is like a volcano, spewing out all at once, it can really be described as the mountains and rivers are broken, but I don't know what happened to Chuzhou.

"It seems that a lot of things have happened in the days when I am away!By the way, what happened to you and your fiancé!" Leng Zhuo said with a sigh.

It's good that Leng Zhuo didn't mention this, but when he mentioned this, Tang Xuan was angry, and his moon-like eyes glanced at Leng Zhuo fiercely, and said, "Thanks to you, it's okay!"

"Hehe, this is really unfortunate news, I was going to take the opportunity to intervene, but it seems that there is no play!" Leng Zhuo patted his forehead and said with a disappointed expression.

But Tang Xuan was itchy by the roots of his teeth, and he couldn't wait to go up and bite this bastard to death!

Kong Mingchen rode the Cangyun Falcon day and night, and returned to Gyeonggi day and night, slept well in the small city next to the imperial capital for a long time, and then changed his clothes and hired a carriage, and then entered the imperial capital Wanlong City more than ten miles away!

Wanlong City, as in the hustle and bustle of the past, the clouds of war did not shroud over this imperial capital, but when you entered the inner city, you could feel a trace of solemnity.

All the way non-stop, before dusk, came to the Weiguo Mansion and went straight to the side door, the porter opened the door, but was surprised to see Kong Mingchen, and said: "Steward Kong, didn't you go to the north with Young Master Sun, what about the little young master?"

"Your Excellency is now in the Yuntian Fortress, Grandpa Weiguo can be in the mansion, I have something important to meet Grandpa this time!" Kong Mingchen said.

The porter let Kong Mingchen in, and said: "Grandpa will come back very late every day, and sometimes he won't return for a few days, but Miss came back last month and is still in the house, do you want to see it!"

"Madam is here!" Kong Mingchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, at this time, Wei Zhilan came back from Chuzhou, could something happen?

"Hehe, well, it was the old man of the Leng family who asked her to come over, and she brought a lot of special products, the most important thing is to inquire about the news of the young master, after all, the north is quite chaotic, but ...... , Oh, you better go and meet the young lady, there is no news of the young master these days, but everyone is in a hurry! I will immediately inform the steward and ask him to find the grandfather to come back!"

Wei Zhilan, the eldest lady of the Leng family, has been going north to the grassland to take up her post in a few days, and then, she also went south with Leng Invincible and took over the big and small things of the Leng family.

Although there is Yimu Teng Snake communicating from it, Leng Zhuo is messing around on the grassland, how can he put people at ease, so Wei Zhilan was sent north by Old Man Leng, and Leng Zhuo must be brought back no matter what.

In the living room of the Wei Mansion, Wei Guang received the news from the house, dealt with the things in his hand, and hurried back.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Seeing Wei Guang striding in, Wei Zhilan hurriedly got up and stepped forward.

"Well, I heard that the muddy boy sent someone back!"

"Grandpa!" Kong Mingchen hurriedly stood up and saluted to Duke Weiguo.

"Is that kid unable to get along on the grassland, so he asked you to ask for help!" Wei Guang knew from Wei Zhilan that Leng Zhuo was fine on the grassland, so he asked this question, otherwise he would definitely ask if he was still alive.

Kong Mingchen smiled and said, "This is the young master's handwritten letter, you read it, I will say it!" Kong Mingchen said and took out a letter and handed it to Wei Guang, because Yimu Teng Snake did not send the word back, so Leng Zhuo did not know that Wei Zhilan was in the imperial capital.

Kong Mingchen said, and said it to the officials on the grassland, what kind of night attack on Tumu Village, west to the Holy Wolf Mountain, burning and looting in all directions, and finally capturing Yuntian Beiguan, although Wei Zhilan heard it once, she still felt worried, but it was still a little hard to believe that Leng Zhuo had become so powerful.

Why is he so powerful, he was a well-known waste wood in the Shengtian Academy back then, but he seems to be omnipotent, is this still the Leng Zhuo she knows?

"So, Yuntian Beiguan has been recaptured!" Wei Guang frowned slightly, but did not show a trace of joy, but said: "It's just nonsense!"

"Grandpa, isn't it a great achievement to mess around!" Wei Zhilan saw that her grandfather frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to say coquettishly.

"Hmph, this kid finally knows something, and he didn't take all the credit, otherwise this credit will be a hot potato!" Wei Guang said, but there was a smile on his face, no matter how Leng Zhuo said this, he gave him a long face, although he did mess around.

"What is this list?" Wei Guang said and picked up the list full of names, in addition to the generals summoned by Leng Zhuo, there were also a group of people who followed Leng Zhuo, such as Ma Caishen and others who were in the border army guard tower that day, and now that they have made great achievements, Leng Zhuo naturally does not pull anyone, after all, these people can be regarded as henchmen.

"These are the subordinates that the young master's subordinates can use, this breakthrough has participation, the young master means, let the grandfather watch the arrangement, the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, the young master only knows that it is hot, but some elite subordinates still hope to stay!

"Hmph, looking at the arrangement, this kid hasn't all been arranged, he actually knows that he has gone through the back door, and he is good at it!"

Wei Guang said and glanced at Kong Mingchen fiercely, Leng Zhuo that kid can write such a detailed thing, then the hell, Bacheng has this guy mixed in with it.

"Leave the thing, I'll think about it!" Although Wei Guang said this, he still pressed the list in his hand, and said in his heart, this kid also knows how to cultivate power, although it is a little more straightforward, but as long as it is not too much, Wei Guang will do it casually.

"Grandpa!"

"Okay, I know, that kid finally has some credit this time, and he knows how to divide profits, those people know how to repay the peach, and with me, how can I be rewarded with a marquis!"

"Marquis, grandpa, you can laugh, that villain is ......!" Wei Zhilan's eyes widened, Leng Zhuo became an earl, and he was already the youngest second-class earl in the empire, the marquis, it is said that the empire only has twenty-two marquis in a hundred years, and most of them are demoted to earls after one generation, and now there are only eight marquis in the empire.

"The Empire needs news of a big victory!"
