Chapter 237: Reorganizing the Old Rivers and Mountains

Zhu Zhu rolled over, and a eunuch ran over and knelt in front of him with broken steps, holding a golden eagle night pot above his head.

Zhu Jun yawned and took off his pants, gave the eunuch a shower first, and then walked towards the apse.

The eunuch was full of smiles: "Your Majesty is strong and strong, and it is really the blessing of the country!"

"Slut. ”

Zhu Jun sneered proudly for a while, and left without looking back.

He deliberately went barefoot, stepping on the stone slab of the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace, which was polished like virgin skin, and felt the refreshing pleasure in the slight coolness.

When we arrived at the bathroom, the three-layered palace veil swayed in the light of the golden kettle oil lamp.

The water is steamy, and there are a few delicate jade-like beauties in the haze, kneeling by the pool in thin gauze, testing the temperature of the water, and sprinkling the newly harvested chrysanthemum petals into the pool.

A smile immediately appeared on Zhu Jun's face, coughed lightly, and walked towards the bath.

The beauties all stopped, knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me, flat. ”

Zhu Jun enjoyed the feeling when he said these words.

All the people are kneeling before their eyes, and if they do not give this sentence, they will never dare to raise their heads, and they will never dare to look directly at themselves.

This feeling is really refreshing.

No wonder so many people are vying to be emperors, at the cost of flesh and blood.

This majesty, which no one dares to desecrate, is enough to make anyone obsessed with it.

Zhu Jun walked to the edge of the bath, and the beauties with pink faces and peach cheeks on both sides stepped forward, and gently removed the nightgown that Zhu Jun was wearing on his body with their icy onion jade fingers, and then snuggled him left and right, and walked into the bath together.

Zhu Jun casually touched the charming and bewitching beauty beside him, and felt that the bodies of these two women were like freshly peeled eggs, delicate and smooth, round and jade, and seductive.

A desire is ignited.

Zhu Jun grabbed one of them with one hand, brushed it away, lifted the light veil that was half-draped on her body, and hugged her to her lap and sat down.

The woman giggled twice, hugged Zhu Jun's neck, rubbed Zhu Jun's nose with her surging breasts, and gently shook her body from side to side, trying her best to tease.

The faint monarch of the Tang Dynasty will really enjoy it, and the palace is full of this kind of stunner.

Zhu Jun laughed obscenely: It's a pity that it's all cheap!

The emperor's women let me play, in this life, I don't lose anything!

Soon, there was a breath of breath in the bath, and the warm water in the pool was rippling.

Several women went into the water together, and all of them gathered around Zhu Jun, like a hungry swallow smelling the fragrance of food, and rubbing it against him one by one.

The lucky one of them was already shaking his delicate body with his eyebrows lightly locked, and let out a burst of ecstatic moans.

A man is blissful, and there is no such thing.

Zhu Jun is like a mad soul wandering too empty.

"Newspaper, newspaper - Majesty, the ...... of major events"

A eunuch rushed in in a daze, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he swallowed back the word 'bad' in the back.

Zhu Zhu and those women couldn't wait to step forward and tear this dead eunuch into eight pieces.

"Boldly castrate, what's the alarm!"

Zhu Zhu shouted angrily, "Didn't you see that I was bathing?"

After thinking about it, early in the morning, there was nothing important, and ordinary people didn't dare to come to disturb themselves, so they didn't blame this eunuch much.

"Majesty!"

The eunuch held a stack of folds, knelt down in panic and said, "In front of the Hanyuan Palace, all the ministers and generals of the court have arrived. They asked the villain to invite His Majesty...... In the early morning, it was said that there was a very important military event to be played by His Majesty. There are excerpts here. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Jun knew that something was unusual, so he turned around and walked away from the pile of women, and stepped forward to pick up the fold and look at it.

The woman who was being pampered by him just now suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, and stared at the eunuch with anger on her face.

A moment of joy is already so difficult to beg, they don't care about any national affairs, no matter who is in this palace and who is in charge.

Less than a moment after opening the recital, Zhu Jun's eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body was shocked: "What? Gaoling was lost and Du Tao was killed?!"

The eunuch and the group of women both felt the anger and horror in Zhu Jun's voice, and they were so frightened that they were silent.

Zhu Jun angrily smashed the fold to the ground, turned around and was about to walk out.

The two women hurriedly stepped forward and put dragon robes on Zhu Jun's body.

Zhu Jun hatefully grabbed the head of one of the women and pressed her to his step.

A hot flash of pleasure hit like electricity.

Zhu Jun felt that this seemed to make him feel a lot more relaxed.

But he still knew clearly in his heart that big trouble was really coming-that one general was actually the commander of the Tang Army, and he also beheaded Du Tao!

At the same time, the post-war sweeping work in Gaoling City is also nearing completion.

The rebel rescuers who arrived from Liquan and Jingyang were almost all killed under the combined attack of Li Sheng, Chu Yan and Song Liangchen.

The general 'Iron Hammer Jiao Wan', known as the head of the 'Three Heroes of Hedong', was stabbed under the horse with a shot before he walked three photos in front of Li Sheng.

When the morning light appeared in the east, this battle, which had long been out of suspense, ended with a complete victory for the Tang army.

The Iron Triangle defense line carefully laid by Zhu Zhu here was defeated overnight, and the three cities fell into the hands of the Tang army.

All the generals were killed, more than 20,000 troops, most of them were killed and wounded, and the rest either became deserters or surrendered to the Tang army.

Li Sheng and Chu Yan took a few lieutenants to the top of the city, laughing all the way, extremely happy.

They've fought all their lives, and it's rare to fight as hard as last night.

Du Tao's more than 20,000 men and horses, like blind cattle led by the nose in the middle of the night, wandered around for a while and then were quietly wiped out.

To devour a team of more than 20,000 people and three well-defended cities at the same time was an extremely difficult thing for the 40,000 horses of the Tang Army at the moment.

But the results in front of me are really unexpectedly exciting.

Xiao Yunhe stood quietly at the head of the building, looking in the direction of the national capital, and Li Sheng and the others were unaware when they arrived behind him.

"Handsome ......"

Li Sheng called softly.

"Oh!"

Xiao Yunhe came to his senses, turned around and smiled at the two generals: "You played beautifully." Two generals, hard work!"

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter! It's so happy!"

Chu Yan laughed, "The handsome man is clever, the last general and others, I really admire it!"

Li Sheng also smiled and said: "Yes, Dashuai really has unpredictable opportunities!"

"Hehe, it's too much. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled, "Although we have captured the Three Towns right now, the real battle has just begun. The national capital is not very easy to fight. Therefore, let's guard against arrogance and rashness∧, and think about how to fight steadily in the later battles. ”

"What the big marshal said is extremely true!"

The two generals agreed with each other and clenched their fists in unison.

Li Sheng, who has always been thoughtful, felt that after the great victory, the King of Han did not show the joy and excitement he deserved.

On the contrary, there seems to be a faint melancholy on the surface.

Moreover, he always looked in the direction of the national capital, and that kind of look was very strange.

It's like longing for a close friend or lover who has been absent for many years, and it's like looking for a treasure that has unfortunately been lost.

Li Sheng thought to himself, the Great Qi artifact was covered with dust, and even Long Que fell into the hands of thieves, and the family members of the King of Han also died in this turmoil.

Seeing that he is about to arrive in the national capital, it is natural for him to have such a mood, right?

At this moment, Li Huaiguang, who had just woken up, asked a few soldiers to help him go to the city.

Li Sheng and Chu Yan were stunned when they saw the injured Li Huaiguang, but Li Huaiguang didn't care that there were many people present, and knelt down towards Xiao Yunhe with a plop: "The king of Han is above, and the criminal minister Li Huaiguang has kowtowed to the adult!"

The moment Li Huaiguang knelt down, almost everyone heard the muffled sound of his knees being heavily buckled against the hard wall tiles.

Xiao Yunhe hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Huaiguang and said softly: "What is this doing, hurry up." ”

Li Huaiguang stubbornly refused to get up, and muttered: "Lord Han, in my life, Li Huaiguang, in addition to facing my mother, I have never been so willing to kneel down for others as I am today. If the adults let me get up, they will look down on me as a rough man. ”

With that, he pushed Xiao Yunhe's arms away, and unequivocally kowtowed three times on the cold and hard brick floor.

"Alright, alright, get up!"

Xiao Yunhe knew that for a fierce man like him, this kind of thing would not go against his will.

After three knocks, Xiao Yunhe used a little dark power to pull Li Huaiguang up from the ground.

It is clear to everyone that Li Huaiguang, who has always been alive and well like a teenager before, seems to have aged more than ten or twenty years old overnight at this moment.

On his face full of vicissitudes, he was already full of old tears, and he was very excited.

He grabbed Xiao Yunhe's hand tightly and said with a little choked up: "My lord, how can Li Huaiguang have the grace to let the adult personally suck poison for me? To be able to get lost and return to life to this day is thanks to the gift of adults. Now...... Now the adults not only rescued me from Du Tao's gun with their own hands, but also gave up life and death to suck poison for me personally. How do you want me to repay this great kindness?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled, patted Li Huaiguang's hand and said, "Don't say so much. If you can survive, it's the best. If I am injured and poisoned, will you, Li Huaiguang, stand idly by? The wind in the city is strong, and you are poisoned and weak and easy to catch a cold, so go back and rest. ”

Li Sheng and Chu Yan on the side roughly understood what was going on, and they sighed in their hearts, and their understanding of the Han King in front of them deepened a little.

It just so happened that Song Liangchen came back, and said with a grin on the side: "Yes, deputy marshal, you should have a good rest and recuperate." If the condition worsens by a cold, won't the handsome man have worked hard in vain? When the handsome sucked the pus and blood for you, I saw it, it was really ...... Ahem, I'm scared when I think about it!"

"Hahaha, Song Liangchen is right!"

Li Huaiguang burst into tears and laughed loudly, "I listened to the commander, go back and rest—but the commander, our army has won several battles one after another, shouldn't we hold a celebration banquet to reward the soldiers? If there is a celebration banquet, remember to call me! If the injury is an injury, I can still eat this wine and meat!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled and nodded briskly, "Send the order down, and the army will rest in Gaoling for two days." Tonight, we will build a bonfire in the military camp in the city, and put good wine and meat on the table to celebrate!"

"Oh, good!"

All the people at the head of the city cheered together.

Li Huaiguang smiled even more, and let a few close guards help him down the city.

Xiao Yunhe said to Li Sheng again: "General Li, you have to work hard. Tonight, let your soldiers under your command block any patrol and martial law. Although the army won, it should not be taken lightly. ”

"Yes!"

Li Sheng clenched his fists in response, thinking in his heart: Let the royal guard serve as a patrol post for martial law, but let the Shuo Fang army celebrate in the city...... This move seems a bit absurd, but it also reflects a bit of cleverness.

Shuofang's army is a foreign army, and it has always been unstable in people's hearts, and most of them only know the generals but do not know the taste of the imperial court, and now their commander Li Huaiguang is injured again.

King Han is gathering the hearts of the Shuofang army everywhere.

Since the Shence Army is the leader of the Son of Heaven, there will naturally be no estrangement between him and the commander of the prince...... Well, the King of Han is indeed a thoughtful and clever figure.

Before the end of the day, firecrackers rang out in Gaoling City for no reason.

Many people ran out of their homes and began to put up lanterns to welcome the royal army that had defeated the rebels.

In fact, the people today don't care who is the owner of this city.

The key is that when Du Tao was there before, he never thought about how the people should live, and tried his best to exploit and rob them; now the royal division who has just defeated Du Tao has never robbed the people of a stitch and a thread, not only that, but they also go around to hunt down hooligans and bullies who harm the market, and occasionally pass by the people's doors, all of them are light-footed, for fear of frightening them.

Right now, although there are many soldiers in the city, the people do not feel any panic, on the contrary, they have the sense of security that has been absent for a long time - this is the real king!

The ranks of the common people gradually expanded, from dozens of people leading the firecrackers and lanterns, to hundreds, thousands, until 10,000 empty alleys poured into the streets.

These people all walked towards the military camp in the city, men, women and children, dragging their children with their mouths, as if rushing to the market.

In the hands of many people, they held some white rice and eggs that they were reluctant to eat, or led chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep to the army.

Xiao Yunhe was tired all night and was sleeping, when he was woken up.

At first, I thought that something had changed, but Gao Gu outside the tent came in and told him that thousands of people in Gaoling City had rushed to the front of the military camp, and they must meet the commander of the Tang Army!

Xiao Yunhe laughed, washed his face and tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the tent.

Take a look, the people outside the military village are crowded at the door, shouting 'let us meet the king of Han'!

"That's Lord Han!"

I don't know who shouted loudly, and there was an uproar among the people.

The old men led by him shouted excitedly: "Folks, this is the commander of the Tang Army, Lord Han, let's kneel down for him!"

After that, these old men took the lead and knelt down.

Immediately after, the black and oppressive people behind them knelt down like a tide.

Xiao Yunhe hurriedly trotted forward to these old men and helped them up one by one: "Old man, don't be polite." Folks, don't kneel, get up!"

One of the old men, who seemed to be about to be eighty or ninety years old, had no teeth, and his hair and beard were snow-white and shiny, and said tremblingly: "Lord Han, the grass people were also soldiers back then, and they were still a pawn under the command of Guo Lao Linggong. Over the years, it has been rare to see such a true hero as an adult, and it is rare to see such a benevolent and righteous king under the command of an adult! Caomin and others are happy and excited!"

"Old Man's ......"

Xiao Yunhe also sighed in his heart, he didn't know what to say, paused for a moment, and said, "You can rest assured, and the villagers can rest assured." Daqi will get better and better, and the people's lives will also get better. ”

"Good, good!"

The old man nodded excitedly, "The villagers have been frightened for a night, and I don't know where the Jiedu envoy came to grab the land again." Later, I learned that it was the king who really cared for the people, and the king of Han who had recovered the rivers and mountains! The hearts of the villagers were always pretending to be Daqi. We...... But what a joy! The villagers have brought some worthless things to give to the adults and these soldiers. Your Excellency must take it!"

The people behind all shouted: "Yes, my lord, you must take it!"

"Okay, I'll take it!"

Xiao Yunhe said loudly, "Thank you, folks! With your help, Daqi will win!"

A group of soldiers behind Xiao Yunhe also shouted: "Great Qi will win!"

The people shouted happily - "Great Qi will win!"

The old man was so excited that he burst into tears, and said with a whimper, "My lord...... The grass and grass people are so happy! I have never seen such a scene for many years! Now, now that the army and the people are united, the adults will definitely be invincible and recover the rivers and mountains of Daqi!"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Yunhe nodded confidently, patted the old man's hand and said, "Thank you, old man." As soon as Wang Shi arrived, Zhu Jun's rebellion against the party must only be bound and killed. When the day when Daqi regains its prestige, everyone will be able to live a good life - just like when Zhenguan was in the past!"

"Zhenguan ......"

The old man muttered, "That'...... At that time, the towering Heavenly Dynasty bowed down to all the countries, and the world was peaceful. It is said that the death penalty was not often imposed at that time, was it?"

"It's not a legend, it's true. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled, "In the fourth year of Zhenguan, only 29 people in the whole country were executed; in the sixth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong ordered that 290 death row prisoners in the country should be allowed to go home for the New Year; after the New Year, these people willingly returned to prison. At that time, there may not be the prosperity of Kaiyuan and Tianbao, but it was the most peaceful, honest and stable era. The road is not forgotten and the house is not closed at night, but it is not a legend!"

"Oh, hehe!"

The old man laughed, "If there really is that day, I don't know if I can wait for this old bone!"

"Wait for that. ”

Xiao Yunhe laughed, and said silently in his heart: There will be that day!

That night, the banquet originally planned to be held in Juntunli was moved to the big wide flat in the center of the city.

Thousands of people were also invited to join in the celebrations, singing and dancing, just like a festival.

A roaring bonfire burns, roasts cattle and sheep, pours fine wine, and wafts fragrant in all directions.

The minor tune outside the guqin plug in the Central Plains, the green waist soft dance with flying clothes, the various Biansaihu dances and the high-spirited military songs made the whole night immersed in a joy and peace.

Xiao Yunhe and many generals and ordinary people sat in a circle around a bonfire, and kept raising their glasses to deal with the officers and soldiers who came to toast, and they were about to get drunk.

Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan sat beside him left and right, watching the various dances in the circle, laughing loudly from time to time.

In a trance, Xiao Yunhe couldn't figure out whether he was Xiao Yunhe or a general now, and whether the scene in front of him was Zhenguan Shengshi...... "Dashuai, in my life, I have never been so down-to-earth as in the past few days." ”

Li Huaiguang ignored his injury, drank a bowl of wine, and said loudly: "Steadfastness is the kind of steadfastness that you feel in your heart." It's a really good feeling. ”

Xiao Yunhe just laughed.

Li Huaiguang said again: "I think I was just a Bohai Hu back then, starting as a pawn. After fighting countless battles and cutting off countless heads, he became the general he is today. I thought that the more people I killed, the more people would fear me, and the happier I would be. Now that I think about it, it turned out that it was all wrong. Only by making the people around him happy, can this person live a really down-to-earth life!"

"Well said. ”

Xiao Yunhe said in admiration, "There are clouds in ancient times, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy." Basinging one's own happiness on the suffering of others is not a long-term solution. Only if you are truly good for others, others will be good to you. ”

"I'm ashamed!"

Li Huaiguang suddenly sighed, "I think I, Li Huaiguang, have lived in vain for fifty years, and in the end, I have to wake up a young man like an adult, and I have lived in vain for the first half of my life." ”

"Hehehe!"

Xiao Yunhe laughed, and said secretly in his heart: If you count your age, you can also call me an old lady.

"Dashuai, I have a few things to tell you today. ”

Li Huaiguang suddenly changed the topic, and then waved to the side.

Immediately, two people on that side stood up and walked over, and greeted Xiao Yunhe and Li Huaiguang first.

Li Huaiguang pointed at these two people and said, "Dashuai, this kid is my righteous son, named Shi Yanfen, a native of the Western Regions. He has some martial arts skills, and he is currently the envoy of Shuofang Suining Festival. Because I am a Hu person, this surname Li was also given, so I didn't dare to let him also look at my surname Li. ”

Xiao Yunhe took a look at the young man Li Huaiguang said, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a good body and a very strong body, some red hair, a high nose bridge, and the color of his eyes was also a little strange, he was a typical Hu person.

Li Huaiguang said: "Some of the wives and concubines that I Li Huaiguang married were not angry, and only gave birth to daughters but not sons, so I accepted him as a righteous son. Now, I will let him follow Lord Han and serve King Han on behalf of me, an old fellow!"

"Alas, how dare this be!"

Xiao Yunhe hurriedly waved his hand and refused, thinking in his heart: Li Huaiguang accepted a righteous son, just to let him retire and send him to his death, how can I do such a thing?

Shi Yanfen bowed to Xiao Yunhe's knees, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Han's great kindness to his father-in-law is the great kindness to the last general. There is no retribution, only for the adults to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

"This ......"

Xiao Yunhe was a little stunned.

This father and son are really hard-hearted?

Li Huaiguang leaned into Xiao Yunhe's ear and whispered, "My lord doesn't know anything. That day, when Zhu Zhu sent a messenger to persuade him to surrender, Shi Yanfen, this kid, strongly persuaded me not to obey Zhu Zhu, and turned against me because of this, and I almost killed him in a fit of rage. Later, I heard that I sincerely repented, and gave me three bows and nine bows to apologize and admit that I was wrong. Although this kid is a Hu man, he knows how to be loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial the best. Lord Han has saved my life, and I should have served him as a slave myself...... Helpless people are old after all, and maybe one day they can't move and they will drag down adults in turn. So, I had to send this kid to serve the adults. Adults must appreciate it!"

"That'...... Alright!"

Xiao Yunhe nodded in agreement, and said to Shi Yanfen: "Okay, you get up." You're with me from today onwards. After the recovery of the national capital, I will ask for your origin in front of His Majesty. ”

Shi Yanfen said: "The last general will follow the adult, not for fame and fortune, but to repay the favor." If you can be a pawn leading a horse in the Han Palace, your wish will be enough!"

"Huh!"

Xiao Yunhe and Li Huaiguang both laughed with satisfaction.

Li Huaiguang pointed to a big man next to him who had a fight with Chu Yan and said: "Dashuai, this guy is called Xu Tingguang, he has been following me for more than ten years, and he was born to fight. Shuo Fang's iron cavalry was all trained and led by him, so he had today's weather. Before Shuo Fangjun was incorporated into the command of the Great Marshal, although he was only a cavalry general, he was the most powerful person around me. Xu Tingguang, from today onwards, you and Shi Yanfen will also follow Dashuai's side. ”

Xu Tingguang was shocked, and looked at Li Huaiguang with some astonishment, looking at the situation with some reluctance.

"Why, you didn't listen to me?"

Li Huaiguang raised his voice a little.

Xiao Yunhe was also a little shocked in his heart: Li Huaiguang, what is this for?

It's to send my son again, and it's to my general...... Could it be that he wants to put the Shuofang army in my hands?

Xu Tingguang looked rough and tall, but at this time he said a little shyly: "Deputy Master...... Right now, aren't they all fighting with the marshal?"

"Hmph, are you kid playing tricks on me?"

Li Huaiguang picked up a wine cup and smashed it at Xu Tingguang, "Lao Tzu is injured now and can't participate in the battle to recover the imperial capital." Why, do you want to be like Lao Tzu in this Gaoling City?"

"Huh? no!"

Xu Tingguang's expression suddenly turned grim: "The last general must take the lead and be the first to attack the head of the national capital!"

"Yes, don't brag!"

Li Huaiguang waved his hand and said, "Take Shuo Fang's brothers, follow under the command of Lord Han, and make contributions." I am old and wounded, so I can only sit in this Gaoling City and wait for your good news. ”

Xiao Yunhe heard a lot of vicissitudes and helplessness from Li Huaiguang's words.

In fact, with Li Huaiguang's temperament, as long as he can still crawl, there is no reason not to follow him to the national capital.

Xiao Yunhe was also preparing to spend a lot of effort to persuade him to stay in Gaoling to recuperate.

Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to make such a decision...... Xiao Yunhe sensed a signal: Li Huaiguang, this is officially handing over military power to himself!

The previous merger and reorganization of the Shuofang Army and the Shence Army was only superficial at best.

After the military order was issued, those Shuo Fang's generals still had to act according to Li Huaiguang's eyes.

Now, Li Huaiguang has taken the initiative to change this status quo.

Starting from his dedication to his son and general, he wants to dedicate the Shuofang army in his hand and the lifeblood of his refusal to let go to Xiao Yunhe!

Xu Tingguang was not stupid, and clearly felt Li Huaiguang's intentions.

He couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, and bowed down to Xiao Yunhe: "The last general, Xu Tingguang, meet Lord Han!"

"Get up. ”

Xiao Yunhe let Xu Tingguang get up, and drank a cup with Xu Tingguang and Shi Yanfen, his heart surged up, and he muttered: Li Huaiguang, I did deliberately use you and win you over, and wanted to beat the idea of this Shuofang Iron Horse in your hand.

Unexpectedly, you are rough on the outside, but you are also such an amorous and righteous temperament on the inside.

A friend like you is right for my Xiao Yunhe's appetite!

The feast of the night lasted until the hour of the child.

Xiao Yunhe, who had a large number of strange bodies after being reborn, also got drunk and was carried into the military tent.

In the dream, the majestic capital of the country is fluttering and lingering in front of him, and the pride of Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger has been filled in his heart for a long time.

Two days later, the rested army was ready to assemble outside the north gate of Gaoling.

Li Huaiguang came to the city outside the city with his sick body in his arms to feast on Xiao Yunhe and others.

Xiao Yunhe and Li Huaiguang drank a cup of each other, then took his hand and said, "Take care of your illness and wait for my good news in Gaoling." If you have any military affairs, let Shi Yanfen handle it, you can rest more. ”

Li Huaiguang nodded affirmatively: "My lord, fight with peace of mind." Although I was wounded, I was still able to suppress the small city of Gaoling and ensure that the rear of the army was safe. It's just that this trip is dangerous, so you must take care!"

"Take care!"

Xiao Yunhe clenched Li Huaiguang's hand, turned over on his horse, drew his sword and pointed north-"Troops send the national capital, the army is drawn - go!"

The imperial capital, the national capital.

The foundation of Daqi for more than 100 years has been inherited in this vein, the first city in the world.

The capital spans 20 miles from east to west and 18 miles from north to south.

To the north is the core of the world's Great Qi Imperial City, Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, which are the most luxurious places in the world.

In addition, there are three gates in the east, west, and south, and the city wall is as high as two zhang, and the thickness varies from three to seven zhang.

There are 11 north and south streets and 14 east and west streets in the city, with the Suzaku Street with a width of more than 100 steps (150 meters) as the axis, neatly contrasting, and the layout of the square is like a chessboard.

At the height of the Great Qi Tianbao period, the population reached a staggering 1.8 million.

Once upon a time, it was heaven on earth.

The prestige of the Great Qi country spreads far and wide, and all the countries come to worship together.

The traffic is crowded and crowded, and the prosperity and luxury of the world are extremely high.

Whether it is Zhenguan, Kaiyuan, or Tianbao, the prosperity here is almost extravagant, which makes the barbarians from all over Kyushu shake their heads.

The people of all countries are greatly relieved to be able to visit the national capital, and they regard it as a lifelong honor to settle in the national capital.

But now, that qiē no longer exists, only the depression and desertion in front of him remain.

The nine gates of the national capital were tightly closed, and there was no longer an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses.

On the top of the city, the soldiers stood with bows and arrows, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of tension and slaughter.

In the various Lifang markets, the people closed their doors and windows and almost no one dared to go out, and a team of soldiers with guns in Dutch armor ran nervously back and forth to patrol the sentry.

Even the sound of the horses revealed a lot of panic.

In the past, the flow of people was like a carp and the bustling West Market Street, and all the shops and shops were closed.

Occasionally, a few people passed by, but they also shrank their necks and quickened their pace, jumping away like a lost dog fleeing.

In the evening, a cold autumn wind whistled in the sky.

With the unique dryness and bleakness outside the gates, this ancient city of the imperial capital has added a bit of decay and decay.

The bloody remnant sun sprinkled on the head of the majestic national capital, as if to tell the people that every inch of this place was soaked in blood.

If it weren't for the war, this Yongrong metropolis, no matter how depressed it was, would not be what it is today.

When troubled times come, the people are not as good as dogs.

The peace and tranquility of the past are nowhere to be found.

If you can survive with your life, it is a great luck.

A few months ago, the grass king in the troubled times, Zhu Zhu, made a great fortune with green smoke on the ancestral tomb, and took advantage of a period of chaos to pick up a big advantage and occupy Longque; now, a large number of people and horses have come from outside the city, and they must have come to fight again.

The people were terrified, not knowing what their lives would become after this round of conquest.

Xiao Yunhe had already arrived in front of the Mingde Gate south of the national capital.

Riding on a horse, listening to the hunting flags in your ears, you quietly looked at the city in front of you.

It's like a world away...... It seems that only in the moment of closing the eyes, a hundred years have passed.

Has the prosperity and wealth of the past been lost in the long river of time?

As far as the eye can see, there is bloodshed and carnage, decay and decline.

He didn't know how the people in the capital were doing now, and he didn't know that the bodies of those Li family's sons and grandsons who died tragically could be collected.

He only saw that the city in front of him was densely covered with traitors with hideous sneers.

They carried swords and guns and drew bows and arrows at themselves - the founding emperor of Great Qi, Xiao Yunhe!

No matter how calm he is, at this moment, he can't help but feel a turmoil in his heart.

Even he couldn't figure out if he was angry, sad, or lost.

"Great. ”

Li Sheng patted a few steps forward and said, "It seems that Zhu Zhu has been prepared and is very well prepared. Our army has just marched far away, and it is not advisable to attack and advance in a hurry. Why don't you set up camp for the time being and think about it in the long run?"

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Yunhe came back to his senses, turned his head to Chu Yan and said, "Chu Yan, you and Xu Tingguang took most of the main forces of 30,000 Shuo Fang and moved to Chunming and Tonghua in the west of the national capital and stationed fifteen miles outside the second gate. Li Sheng, you take the rest of the Shence soldiers and horses, and set up camp fifteen miles outside the Anhua, Mingde, and Qixia Gates in the south of the city. A thousand tents were added every day to confuse Zhu Zhu. ”

"Yes!"

The generals received the order and each led his men and horses to gallop away.

Xiao Yunhe was still stationed, looking at the capital city blankly.

Song Liangchen and Gao Gu took the twenty-six Han palace guards and quietly followed him.

In an instant, more than 40,000 people and horses behind him dispersed in an orderly manner.

The rebels at the head of the national capital suddenly let out a long breath in unison, and many of them were about to get sour when they pulled the archers, so they dared to let go and put away their bows and arrows.

Xiao Yunhe's heart became more and more unable to calm down.

He lifted the armor from his waist and tore off a white cloth from his undershirt with a 'whoosh'.

The crowd was puzzled and did not know what he was going to do.

Xiao Yunhe glanced up at the city, his face showed a lot of grief and hatred, he bit his finger and wrote a few blood-red characters on the white cloth.

"Bow and arrow!"

As soon as Xiao Yunhe stretched out his hand, a boxwood bow was in his hands.

Take an arrow and tie the white cloth to it.

Then he let out a roar from his throat, and galloped forward.

The rebels at the head of the city were suddenly surprised, and they didn't know what the enemy general was doing when he rushed forward single-handedly.

Don't you want to fly up to the castle tower, which is more than two feet high?

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yunhe's men and horses had already arrived under the city wall, and the arrows on the bow were shot out, and the arrows of the meteor chasing the moon were directly inserted into the war drums at the head of the city.

There was a muffled 'buzz', the drum was pierced, and the rebel generals let out an exclamation, all of them were afraid for a while—what an arrogant, domineering arrow!

The anger in Xiao Yunhe's chest seemed to subside a little, and he slapped his horse and floated away, followed closely by twenty-eight horsemen behind him.

A group of rebel generals at the head of the city all looked at this strange person suspiciously, and talked about it.

After taking out the arrow, everyone was even more shocked, and involuntarily felt a chill in their hearts—it was a war book written in blood.

Although there are only four short words, it reveals an overwhelming domineering spirit: return my rivers and mountains!

Zhu Jun was determined to defend to the death, and even when Xiao Yunhe's army was encamped, he did not send a single soldier to harass him.

There are more and more archers at the head of the national capital.

Xiao Yunhe set up the marching marshal tent in the camp outside the Chunming Gate, and raised the Li character handsome flag high, letting it wave with the wind.

Later, he ordered someone to invite Li Sheng from the military tun in the south gate, called Chu Yan, and the three of them discussed the plan to capture the national capital.

Li Sheng said: "Dashuai, there will be a point of confusion in the end, and I hope that Dashuai will dial it." Now that our army wants to attack the national capital, it is best to concentrate its forces to attack a little. Why did the commander let the last general lead the Shence army and station it at the south gate? Although the number of the Shence army was small, its siege ability has always been not weak. Now being shunted out is a loss for the army as a whole. ”

"That's a good question. ”

Xiao Yunhe said, "As we said before, the national capital is strong and extremely difficult to attack. In addition, Zhu Jun has more soldiers and horses than us, which increases the difficulty. If we join forces to capture a point, Zhu Jun will inevitably concentrate most of his forces on one point to contend with us. In this way, it is still us who is the least cost-effective. Now I asked you to bring 10,000 horses to be stationed at the south gate, it is difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality, and Zhu Jun did not dare to transfer the troops from the south gate to the west gate to deploy defenses no matter what. In this way, we can instead gain some local advantages. Isn't it cost-effective to use a small number of Shence troops to contain half of Zhu Jun's attention?"
