"Wan'er is blunt!"

Shangguan Wan'er said unhurriedly: "Wan'er heard that the climate in the north is abnormal this year, and it has not snowed yet, Wan'er suggested that Your Majesty send Tian Guidao as a special envoy to the Turks, and can make Ashnamo a khan, so that he can lead the army to attack the Khitan lair and respond to the Tang army from the north." ”

As soon as Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, a whisper suddenly sounded in the hall, and Di Renzhuo said: "Shangguan Sheren's strategy is excellent, the Khitan nest is attacked, Sun Wanrong will definitely retreat north in a hurry, and the minister suggests that His Majesty adopt it." ”

Wu Zetian nodded happily, "Wan'er is worried about me, I am deeply grateful, I don't know what else to do?"

"Wan'er's second strategy is to recommend the internal security general Li Zhen to lead the army to Yuguan, sitting in Yuguan to defend, he once defeated Sun Wanrong, captured Li Quanzhong alive, most of the Khitans are afraid of him, with him sitting in Yuguan, the eastern front can be worry-free. ”

In fact, Wu Zetian also thought of Li Zhen, in the last battle of Li Qianzhong, his performance was remarkable, and it was a wise move for him to go north again, but Wu Zetian also knew that Li Zhen was about to marry Di Renjie's daughter, would it be inappropriate to send him north at this time?

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian looked at Di Renjie for advice.

Di Renjie understood the meaning of the sage's solicitation, and he stepped forward and responded generously: "The society is restless, the ministers will abide by their duties, Li Zhen will eat the king, and he should share the worries for His Majesty, and the marriage can be postponed until later, and Weichen agrees that he will lead the army to the battle!"

Wu Zetian was overjoyed, "Di Aiqing is so deeply aware of the righteousness, it is admirable, spread my will, and quickly announce that Li Zhen, the general of the internal guard, will go to the palace!"

After a short time, Li Zhen walked quickly to the main hall, bowed and saluted: "Weichen Li Zhen see Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian looked at him and said, "General Li knows the situation of the Khitan battle?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Weichen heard that General Wang Xiaojie had unfortunately died in battle, and his heart was filled with grief. ”

"General Wang died, I am really sad, but today I just got the latest battle report, the Khitan iron cavalry has broken through Miyun, broke into Hebei, the forward even went deep into Zhaozhou, tens of thousands of civilians were slaughtered, Su Honghui led the army in Youzhou and the Khitan main force fierce battle, has fallen into encirclement, the situation is in danger. ”

The situation described by Wu Zetian made Li Zhen even more frightened, he immediately understood Wu Zetian's intentions, and immediately bowed down and said: "I am willing to ask Your Majesty for my life, lead the army to rescue Youzhou, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"

Wu Zetian sighed secretly in his heart, at the moment of crisis, he first thought of saving the country, without considering his own marriage, which was really commendable, and there was a whisper in the hall.

Lou Shide whispered to Di Renjie and smiled: "Congratulations to Di Xiang for getting a good son-in-law!"

Di Renjie smiled and said nothing, if he promised Li Zhen's marriage before, it was more or less related to Li Dan's trust in Li Zhen, but at this time, even if there was no Gao Yanfu's conversation, he would not hesitate to agree, how could he not like a young man who could consider the national disaster first and disregard personal interests for the country and the people.

Wu Zetian happily praised: "Okay! Since General Li is willing to ask for his life to go on the expedition, I will appoint you as the deputy governor of Youzhou and the left general of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, and lead 5,000 cavalry to rush to Youzhou to rescue Su Honghui, and be controlled by Lou Xiangguo." ”

"Obey the order!"

Wu Zetian said loudly to everyone: "The situation of the former enemy is critical, General Li can get up immediately, Lou Xiangguo also asks to lead the army to the expedition within three days, although you Aiqing is in the capital, please also do your duty and do your best to support the front line, I will be relieved!" ......

At the end of the discussion, everyone walked out of the meeting hall, Li Zhen stood outside the gate and waited for Lou Shide and Di Renjie, he just knew that Lou Shide would be the commander of the Khitan expedition to the north, and he was no longer a disciple of the Wu family, which really made him feel excited.

At this time, Lou Shide and Di Renjie walked out together, and Li Zhen stepped forward to salute, "Li Zhen sees the two Xiangguo!"

Lou Shide said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to propose you to be the forward general, but considering that you are going to get married, I had to give up, I didn't expect Shangguan Sheren to recommend you, which is also in line with me, but I prefer you to save Yuguan, I am worried that Yuguan will not be able to keep it." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said: "Thank you Lou Xiangguo for your love, but if you go to Yuguan, you have to go through Youzhou, and you will wait for the opportunity to go to Yuguan as soon as possible." ”

"Okay! Then I won't send reinforcements over there in Yuguan, and you will be in charge of the rescue. ”

"Obey the order, in addition, I hope to bring five hundred elite soldiers of the internal guard to the north, please ask for permission from the prime minister. ”

Lou Shide smiled slightly, "Since you are the general of the internal guard, but you don't bring your own internal guard, you can't be reasonable, I agree to your request, I will go to her over there and tell her, I hope you will leave in the afternoon, and you can't delay it until tomorrow." ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, and at this time, Di Renjie also said to him: "You can go with confidence, Ah Yan will explain to her, a month or two late is not a big problem, your eldest sister, you also have to explain well, please understand." ”

"Thank you, uncle, for arranging it. ”

Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead! I hope to hear your good news as soon as possible." ”

Li Zhen bowed, turned around and walked away quickly, Di Renjie looked at him and walked away, and sighed slightly: "The eldest husband is not informal, and he should be like this!" ......

An hour later, Li Zhen led 5,000 cavalry cavalry and 500 elite guards to leave the capital with two horses and galloped towards Zhengzhou.

Two days later, thousands of cavalry arrived at the Zhengzhou ferry, it was the middle of the night, dark clouds, cold wind, although the Yellow River has frozen, but there are few pedestrians on the ice, in the night, Li Zhen with more than a dozen generals came to the Yellow River to check the situation.

At this time, a soldier brought an old man, "General, this is a fisherman by the Yellow River, and he knows more about the situation of the Yellow River." ”

Li Zhen saw that although his beard and hair were white, he was in good spirits and his body was tough, so he asked with a smile: "May I ask my father-in-law's surname?"

"The second child is surnamed Zhang, who has been fishing in the Yellow River for nearly 40 years, and is willing to share his worries for the general. ”

Li Zhen nodded and asked, "If I lead the army to cross the river on the ice tonight, do you think it is feasible?"

The old man thought for a while and said: "In previous years, there was no problem, at this time the river had already formed thick ice, but this year's climate is a bit abnormal, there has been no snow so far, the weather is warm, there was also this climate twenty years ago, at that time, there was not enough ice thickness in the Yellow River, as a result, a carriage fell into the river and died, I still remember, I suggest that the general send someone to check first, especially by the north bank, if there is frozen, then there should be no problem to cross the river." ”

"My husband is willing to be my guide, and I will compensate as appropriate. ”

The old man smiled slightly: "There is no need for compensation, the Tang army wants to go north to fight against the Khitan, and I will serve as a general." ”

Li Zhen was overjoyed, turned back to Jiu Zhi and said, "Captain Jiu, you take fifty brothers to follow this old man to the river to explore the ice, and you must have a conclusion before dawn." ”

Jiu Zhi hurriedly agreed, and followed the old man on the ice with fifty soldiers, and Li Zhen immediately said to the rest of the generals: "Tell the order to rest on the spot and set off at dawn tomorrow!"

The 5,000 cavalry was temporarily stationed in a leeward place, it was already two watches, it was too late to set up tents, the soldiers fed the horses, wrapped in thick blankets, huddled together to drink water and eat dry food, rest and chat, and next to a big tree set up a marching marshal's tent, the tent was brightly lit, Li Zhen was discussing the journey to the north with several major generals.

Li Zhen pointed to the map and said to everyone: "The Holy Lord requires us to rush to Youzhou within seven days, and now there are five days, we need to choose a road now, if we go north in Xiangzhou, we will have time at all, if we go north in Weizhou, there may be one more day, then we will have to travel day and night on the road, I want to hear everyone's opinions." ”

He Yanbashou, the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, asked: "It should be a matter of course to take the Xiangzhou line, but the general regards it as an option, I don't know if the general has any concerns?"

Li Zhen nodded slightly, "I do have concerns, if we go to Xiangzhou, we are very likely to encounter Wu Yizong's army, I don't know if Wu Yizong will intercept us." ”

Zhang Li agreed with Li Zhen's worries, and said: "Wu Yizong is selfish and cold, everyone in the capital knows, this time he was replaced by Lou Xiangguo because of his ineffective troops, how can he not hold a grudge, even if he does not dare to openly disobey the holy decree, but will secretly obstruct us from going north, so that we can't rush to Youzhou within seven days, I think from a safe point of view, it is better to detour to Weizhou, although the distance is a little farther, but the time is in our hands, and not controlled by others." ”

Zhang Li's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone, the cavalry on this expedition were all from the thousand cavalry battalion and the internal guard, all the generals wanted to be rewarded for meritorious service, and they never wanted to be obstructed, and they didn't even have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, even He Yan Bashou agreed.

Li Zhen saw that everyone was unanimous, so he smiled happily: "It's rare that everyone has a common goal, so it's decided, we need to work hard a little bit if we go north from Weizhou." ”

Everyone left the big tent one after another, at this time, a soldier stepped forward and whispered a few words to Li Zhen, Li Zhen was stunned, hurriedly walked out of the big tent, and walked quickly to the edge of the camp, only to see a person standing under the big tree with a horse in the dark, Li Zhen approached, suddenly recognized this person, and blurted out in surprise: "Why are you?"

Li Zhen couldn't have imagined that this person who was alone leading a horse under the tree turned out to be Di Yan, and saw that she was wearing men's clothes, a fur hat, samurai leather armor, a long sword on her back, and a thrush bow in her hand, just like a handsome young samurai.

Although her appearance has changed a lot compared to the beautiful girl, Li Zhen is really familiar with her men's appearance and recognizes her at a glance.

Di Yan pouted, her face was full of displeasure, and she glared at Li Zhen for a while and said, "I'm already here, you can't drive me back again!"

Li Zhen really felt a headache, he was not an internal guard on a mission, but went to Hebei to fight, how could he take Di Yan with him?

But he also knew Di Yan, if she didn't let her leave convincingly, she would definitely follow him to Hebei, helplessly, he had to smile bitterly and said, "You come with me first!"
