Luoyang City, the former imperial capital of Great Xia, burned for ten days and ten nights, and the flames were visible for hundreds of miles. The fire did not extinguish until all the combustible things were burned out. The palace of Luoyang has been burned down, and only the decaying walls remain; the city of Luoyang in the prosperous period of 800 years, at this time the city is full of desolation, flying ash covers the sky, and corpses are everywhere. The crows hovered in the air, and wild dogs chose human corpses to eat on the road.

On the same day, the Wujin Yu Party killed people when they entered the palace, and after burning the palace, the Wujin Yu Party discussed with everyone, since it has become a chaotic army, now even the palace has been robbed, and if the officials and soldiers are caught to the final death in the future, it is better to simply do nothing, so the rebels even Luoyang City was burned. Then the rebels left Luoyang City and plundered the surrounding counties, and the surrounding county soldiers had not been killed for many years, lacked training, and were caught off guard by the rebel army, and collapsed at the first touch. Then he went all the way to the west to burn and loot, and went straight to the Yanshan Mountains to which Xiliang belonged.

In the eight-hundred-year Great Xia Dynasty, Luoyang City, millions of officials and civilians were killed by the rebellious army. The remaining officials and people are also like corpses, ragged, rushing to the nearest Yuzhou in the east of Luoyang, Chen County, along the way, the chaotic army and hungry people gather more and more, and there are tens of thousands of people in a few days, crying and walking.

In the team of hungry people, two thin men, in rags, pulled a cart slowly, and next to the car was a tall and thin old man with white hair, with a straight waist, holding the edge of the car slowly. On board sat a middle-aged woman dressed in burlap with a child of about eight years old in her arms.

Although the middle-aged woman was dressed in coarse linen clothes and her hair was slightly disheveled, she still couldn't hide her plump curves and a pair of phoenix-eyed looks. Perhaps because the coarse linen clothes did not fit well, the middle-aged woman's round and elastic buttocks were wrapped in a taut linen skirt to make it more tight and prominent. If it is placed in normal times, I don't know how many heroes and heroes will bend their waists with this pair of hips. It's just that now the pedestrians on the road are hungry and numb to follow the team, and no one cares about the middle-aged woman. The child in the arms of the middle-aged woman had bright eyes and bright teeth, but at the moment he was hiding in the woman's arms with some trepidation, obviously frightened by the rebels.

"Old Master Chen, come and sit in the car. This road is difficult, and our mother and son have to rely on Master Chen to take care of them. The middle-aged woman said as she looked at the thin white-bearded old man whose face was so old that he could hold flies with wrinkles on his face.

"The Holy Queen does not need to be worried, and must not mess with the number of rituals. A little bit of the road is still not a problem for the old minister. ”

"According to the distance, you can reach Chen County in three days at the latest, and then the saint can gather loyal ministers and good generals in Yuzhou, recover Luoyang, and kill the rebels. ”

It turned out that the people in the car were the Empress Dowager Wu of Great Xia and the Little Emperor Hongwu, and the old man next to the car was Chen Xuanli, the leader of the current Great Xia Dynasty. On that day, the rebel army entered the palace, killed people when they saw them, and the eunuchs scattered in a hurry. Chen Xuanli saw that the situation was not good, and took the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Wu to escape from the palace and went out of the city all the way. The crowd changed into inconspicuous clothes, disguised themselves as refugees, and followed the displaced people to Chenjun.

As he was talking, Chen Fuzi saw dozens of light horsemen running along the homeless people towards the Empress Dowager Wu and the little emperor and others. Immediately the knights wore helmets and armor, and their robes were tied.

Chen Xuanli, Empress Dowager Wu and others were shocked. Could it be that he was caught up by the rebels?

Empress Dowager Wu was so frightened that she hugged the little emperor tightly in her arms. Chen Xuanli's trembling hands had already tightly grasped the dagger in his sleeve, and he was ready to die for his country.

Dozens of light horsemen are coming in a flash. More than a dozen knights turned over and dismounted, fell to their knees in unison, and shouted: "Holy Lord, please forgive the ministers for being too late to help." ”

"Get up quickly, get up quickly. "Empress Dowager Wu thought that she would be in a catastrophe today, but now when she heard that she was here to rescue the driver, she immediately cried with joy.

Everyone got up, led by a middle-aged man, tall and mighty, wearing lion head ring armor, wearing a goose-winged helmet, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, and he couldn't say the power of that station.

Chen Xuanli was overjoyed to see the person who was the leader.

Empress Dowager Wu and the little emperor saw that the generals in front of them were fond of it, so they called to the front to ask. It turned out that the person who came was Chen Xuanli's nephew, who used to be stationed in Gaojiluo, Sipinli, Cao Chen Chong, and Chen Weinan. The Empress Dowager Wu and the little emperor were even more overjoyed when they heard that it was Chen Xuanli's nephew, and kept praising the Chen family's loyalty and righteousness.

After Empress Dowager Wu asked, Chen Weinan had the opportunity to meet Chen Xuanli. The uncle and nephew hugged their heads in pain, and after crying, Chen Xuanli asked Chen Weinan how he knew the whereabouts of the saint and the Empress Dowager Wu.

It turned out that after Chen Weinan and Li Wenruo said goodbye to Shili Pavilion that day, they returned to their hometowns alone. As soon as he arrived in Yuzhou, he learned that Luoyang had been slaughtered by the rebels, and the county soldiers from all over the country were assembling in Jincheng, the county seat of Yuzhou, to prepare to enter the king of Jingqin. So Chen Weinan changed his route and followed the county soldiers to Jincheng together.

Liu Yao, the capital of Yuzhou, was Chen Xuanli's protégé, and Chen Weinan had several encounters with him before he went to Gaojiluo in his early years. Therefore, when Liu Yao learned that Chen Weinan had arrived in Jincheng, he left Chen Weinan in front of the tent to obey the order, and also allocated two cavalry troops to Chen Weinan, so that Chen Weinan could go to Luoyang as a vanguard.

Coincidentally, Chen Weinan met a fleeing scholar on the road, who had been a guest in Chen Xuanli's mansion, recognized Chen Weinan, and told Chen Weinan that his uncle was also in the ranks of the refugees, just behind. So Chen Weinan rushed over with more than a dozen horsemen, but he didn't expect that the saint and the Empress Dowager Wu were also in the team.

A few days later, Chen Weinan escorted the little emperor, Empress Dowager Wu and Chen Xuanli back to Jincheng, the capital of Yuzhou. Immediately afterwards, Empress Dowager Wu and the little emperor issued an edict in the name of King Tianqin despite everyone's opposition, asking the Northern Liang Border Army to cooperate with the Xiliang garrison to exterminate the rebellious party. Chen Weinan and Liu Yao and others helped win the border offenses, and the Beiliang border army could not move lightly and begged the little emperor not to mobilize the border army, but the Empress Dowager Wu and the little emperor hated the chaotic army to the core, and wanted to get rid of it first and then quickly, despite everyone's opposition, they still issued an edict, asking the king of Beiliang to mobilize the border army as soon as possible and cooperate with the Xiliang garrison to exterminate the rebel party.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Fengjing City, Beiliang Prefecture, a bearded man with a cold and hard face carved out like a knife in the Beiliang Palace, dressed in a dark green python robe dignified on the main seat in the center of the room, holding a golden scroll with an emerald jade handle in one hand, and constantly tapping his forehead with the other hand, the man in the python robe is Li Zhi, the king of Beiliang. Li Zhi's left and right sides are clearly distinguished, and more than a dozen people sit on both sides, with both sides of the martial arts, arguing endlessly.

"Noisy, noisy, noisy your uncle. None of them worked. ”

Li Zhi, the king of Beiliang, kept slapping the table and yelling.

There was an instant silence in the room. Li Zhi, the king of Beiliang, swept his eyes in front of everyone one by one, but no one dared to look at Li Zhi, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing. In the end, Li Zhi's gaze fell on a thin and handsome Confucian at the end of the left side, and the Confucian seemed to be confident, looking at him with blazing eyes.

"Wen Ruo, now that Fuying and Gao Jiluo's hundreds of thousands of troops are on the border, they want to offend my Beiliang, and a big war is about to break out. But what does the sage mean by issuing an edict at this time, asking me to mobilize the border army to encircle and suppress the Wujin Rebellion?"

It turned out that the young Confucian who sat at the bottom was Li Wenruo, who chose to stay in Beiliang at that time.

Li Wenruo got up and arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, the chaotic party has now flowed to Liangzhou in the northwest, but the Qilian Mountains in Liangzhou in the northwest are a few days away from Luoyang, and there is no danger to defend during this time. If the rebel army is not exterminated as soon as possible, it will always be a sharp blade hanging over the heart of the saint, like a fish in the throat. This is the concern of the saints. ”

"Now that the enemy is committing heavy troops on the Chen Bian, if our Beiliang Border Army goes to encircle and suppress the rebellious army, the border defense will definitely be empty, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity to invade the border and go south. This is what the prince is worried about. ”

Li Zhi nodded again and again: "Just as Wen Ruo said." ”

"Now although Fu Win, although Gao Ziluo is on the border. However, the army did not move the grain and grass first, and the land was barren and unsuitable for cultivation in the mountainous area of Gaojiro, and now the grain and grass required by the armies of the two countries were difficult for Gaoziro to bear, and they must be mobilized from other places. In addition, Gao Jiluo has won the new surrender, and there are still many people in his country who want to go to my Great Xia. ”

"Therefore, the prince only needs to send one person to go deep into Gaojiluo, connect with the remnants of the king of Gaojiluo, who are committed to my Great Xia, attack and disturb the grain road, make it unpeaceful, and buy time for Beiliang to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebellious army. Then you can solve the concerns of the saint and the prince. ”

Li Wenruo stopped talking, his arms were lowered and his shoulders were silent, waiting for Li Zhi to make a decision.

Li Zhi slapped his thigh and said, "Wen Ruo has a good plan!

"If the prince does not give up, he is willing to be the one who goes to Gaojiluo to connect with the old department of King Gaojiluo. ”

"Wen Ruo Gaoyi"

"Where righteousness is, although tens of millions of people go to me!"

The world is in turmoil, some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, judge the time and size up the situation, take refuge and retreat; some people sacrifice their lives to take righteousness, face difficulties, and seek survival in death.
