Bid farewell to the border army, and continue to move forward.

After crossing the border, there are more people.

From time to time, there are tea stalls and small restaurants on the roadside.

At the same time, I heard more rumors.

A month ago, I heard that the allied forces of the various countries were going south, breaking several formations in a row, and were about to force into the capital.

Further on, I learned that Liu Yong was heading north, and at the same time, several armies went north to outflank the coalition forces.

The empress returned to the court and took charge of the government.

However, rumor has it that the empress is a return to the light.

There are also rumors that this is the empress deliberately playing a trick on the domestic opposition forces and making a play.

Accounts differ and opinions vary.

But reality can't be faked.

A person, a cow and a cat are all the way to go and listen all the way.

If you want to go back to the four towns of Anbei, you naturally have to go north.

The news is more and more credible.

Along the way, I heard that the coalition forces were going to kill, but there was no trace of the coalition forces along the way.

On this day, I arrived in a small city.

Stop in front of a wine stall.

The main specialty of the wine stall is the beef head meat.

However, the method is very peculiar, and I heard the stall owner say that this thing is called praise.

Take the tender cow's head and burn it on the fire, wash it again and again, add wine, green onion and ginger and cook it until cooked.

Then cut it as big as a palm slice, and adjust it to Su paste pepper orange and the like.

Seal it in a large urn with mud, bury it, light it on a fire, and roast it slowly.

Li Ping'an asked for a plate and tasted it.

The taste is decent, not very tasty, but not unpleasant.

In short, the old cow ate with relish.

Li Changshou asked for a plate of peanuts to eat with wine, listening to the chatter of the drinker next to him.

"General Liu has won!?"

"No, I just came back from there, so there can be a fake."

"Didn't you say that the coalition forces were overwhelmed?"

"It's like a fart!! What are those battles in front of you?

Look at this time, the 50,000 Great Sui Iron Cavalry directly defeated the coalition army head-on, so that they couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. ”

"So you won?"

"That's not all, Pingyang Hou and Wu'an Hou each led two armies to cut off the retreat of the coalition army.

Now the coalition forces are besieged in Pingnan City, and hundreds of thousands of men and horses are crammed into a small Pingnan City. ”

The man sighed, "It's a pity for the people of Pingnan City. ”

"I also heard that there have also been changes in the DPRK and China."

"Oh? What happened to the DPRK and China? ”

"Several old ministers of the former dynasty took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to secretly contact two partial generals in the forbidden army and plot to seize power.

Later, it was discovered, and all the perpetrators were sentenced to the three clans.

Not long after the killing, the city was full of turmoil. ”

"You know that, too?"

"When my guy went to the capital to deliver goods, I saw a lot of people present.

Good guys, rivers of blood. ”

“..........”

Li Ping'an picked up the wine glass, shook it, and found that the wine bottle was empty.

glanced at the old cow, but the wine in front of the old cow had not yet been drunk.

Li Ping'an turned his gaze to the little girl again.

The little girl's face was flushed, and her eyes were dull, as if she could not focus.

"Meow~"

"The fairy didn't steal your wine."

Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows, when did the cat get caught with drinking again.

After that, it's time to move on.

coincided with a big change, whether the empress did it intentionally or unintentionally.

Affected by the war, large numbers of refugees began to flee in all directions.

The number of demons and evil gods has also increased several times, and the further north this situation goes, the more obvious it becomes.

You can also meet the remnants of many coalition armies of various countries and cause chaos in various places.

The people of the Great Sui in Pingnan City were almost dead.

After the allied forces of the various countries entered Pingnan City, the defenders of Pingnan City bravely resisted for a month with 8,000 defenders.

Bought time for subsequent reinforcements.

The coalition of nations claims to have a million-strong army.

No matter how heroic the defenders of Pingnan City are, if they don't prepare in advance, they won't be able to resist the attack for so long.

Presumably, the empress had planned in advance and took Pingnan City as the critical point.

The 8,000 defenders were all brave and good soldiers.

After the breach, the enraged coalition of nations slaughtered the city.

Later, it was defeated by Liu Yong head-on outside Pingnan, and the back road was cut off by the Great Sui army.

Surrounded on both sides, it was only then that they realized that they had been fooled.

The small city of Pingnan was crowded into hundreds of thousands of troops.

The Great Sui surrounded but did not kill, and the allied forces of the countries tried to break through.

Finally, after the siege of the city for three months, Pingnan City was starving.

It is claimed that there is not one in ten million-strong armies that have gone south.

It is known as the Battle of Pingnan in history.

After this war, the states were no longer able to launch a large-scale national war against the Great Sui.

fell into an embarrassing place that could only be defended but not attacked.

One after another, several countries saw that the situation was not good and quickly defected.

Ceded the city, sold the profits, and signed an agreement.......

By the time Li Ping'an was about to return to the four towns of Anbei, the war had basically calmed down

The road to the north is nothing unfamiliar.

But the four towns of Anbei are unfamiliar.

After entering the four towns of Anbei, I still learned about it from passers-by.

The place where they are is already the four towns of Anbei.

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu looked around, and they had long been aware of what was wrong.

With the expansion of the territory of the Great Sui, the four towns of Anbei have long been out of the scope of the frontier.

Because it is the hometown of the famous minister Zhao Ling'er, the four towns of Anbei have ancestral halls set up by the people.

As for Wang Yi, Alia, and Fat Jun, they are unintentional about officialdom.

Therefore, in the hearts of the people, her reputation is far inferior to Zhao Ling'er.

Although Zhao Ling'er went north with a sword because of the assassination of the king, she was not edicted.

He is not allowed to go out of the town demon pass for life.

However, due to its influence, the imperial court did not make the matter public.

Therefore, there are still many people in the ancestral hall.

Li Ping'an also took a look and looked at Zhao Ling'er's golden statue.

I don't know what happened to her in the Demon Suppression Pass.

I couldn't help but think of the other three children, and I unconsciously recalled everything that had been in the four towns of Anbei.

Revisiting the old place, I suddenly sighed.

The scenery is vaguely like last year.

Li Ping'an has never been an emotional person.

He knew that he was never a returnee, but a passerby.

Walking on a familiar street, I feel like I have traveled back in time and space.

I suddenly remembered my old self again, and it seemed that I could still feel the state of mind at that time.

A pair of eyes are half-blind, leading a cow and carrying an erhu on his back.

Holding an unsolved case warrant, hunt down the felon.

When I think of related people and things, some of them have vague memories, and some of them can still be remembered.

The streets are long gone.

When I arrived at the former small courtyard, the courtyard was not as dilapidated as I imagined.

Back then, on the occasion of leaving.

He asked Wang Yi's father to help take care of the house.

Wang Yi's family has a lot of money in the four towns of Anbei, although the world has changed over the years.

However, the small courtyard is still preserved, and I want to say thank you.

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu glanced at each other and smiled.
