At this moment, I only heard someone say: "Don't do it!" The officer looked back and saw thousands of troops brushing like the two sides were separated, and a person came under the banner of the Chinese army commander.

This man is eight feet tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, slightly white temples, empty sleeves of his robe on his left hand, and a single knife on his waist.

The officer hurriedly pushed aside, bowed his head and said, "Commander!" It turned out that this person was the leader of the Ping An Army, Li Yan, who was powerful in all directions.

Except for a slight weather, he was almost the same as he had been nine years ago. Li Yan walked to Abulgu's side, helped him up with one arm, and said, "It is a blessing for the court and the people to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Don't be afraid, our Ping An Army has always given preferential treatment to generals. As soon as he beckoned, a few of his attendants came up and retreated in their arms.

Li Yan took the seal letter from the officer's hand and shook it towards the army outside the city gate. The three armies suddenly thundered with joy.

Li Yan himself is also excited at the moment, and he doesn't know how many hardships he has experienced along the way. Now Kaifeng, Nanyang, Xuxian and other places have recovered, and today Shangdu surrendered without a fight, which is equivalent to bringing a great good news to Daliang.

The imperial court is about to return to its former territory, and it seems that Li Yan can finally rest. So the generals arranged for a large army to enter the city and station.

Li Yan didn't want to disturb the people, so he only took a team of relatives to live in the Chenghuang Temple in the west. The day is fleeting, and the night is falling.

A lone lamp lit up in the City God Temple, reflecting the cold of the main hall. The wind on the spring night was still steep, and Li wrapped the quilt in the bed and read the military book by candlelight.

Just as he was seeing Xing's head, he suddenly heard a woman's cough outside. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miyuki, it's cold outside, come in." I saw a white shadow flash, and Miyuki really appeared in front of him.

Time seems to have stopped flowing on Miyuki, and nine years later, she still looks like a girl.

Li Yan beckoned, and Miyuki walked over to him and sat down. Li Yan lifted the quilt and put a piece on her shoulder.

Miyuki's face flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse. Li Yan's move was undoubtedly bold at the time, but his relationship with Miyuki was almost to the point where he didn't have to shy away from it.

If it weren't for the fact that he was hot-headed for a while, he would have spoken in front of the emperor

"The Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home?" eight words, he and Meixue have already been married. Even people all over the world treat them as husband and wife, and even people will call Miyuki when they talk about her

"Mrs. Lee". Li Yan knew that the first thing he would do after he drove out the Huns was to give Meixue a decent wedding.

Meixue leaned towards Li Yan and said, "Have you started watching "Liutao"? Li Yan waved his hand: "I can only read it superficially, and I don't know how to explain it in many places." Miyuki, if you want to say that you are powerful, you have to be it. This strategy you came up with actually made the Huns surrender the Shangdu, which is really more powerful than Zhuge Liang!" Miyuki lowered her head and smiled, beautiful as a peach blossom against the background of the candle flame.

I only heard her reply: "Where am I so powerful? You wear a high hat for me like this, I'm afraid it's ill-intentioned, right?" Li said with a straight face: "No, I really admire you." One less fight will result in fewer deaths on both sides, and many families will be saved. Miyuki, I thank you on behalf of those people!" suddenly stood up and bowed.

Miyuki hurriedly pressed him to sit down.

"Idiot, your business is my business, what is there to thank?" Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed faintly: "You are just too soft-hearted, otherwise this battle would have been won." Li Yan's brows furrowed: "You mean that plan from three years ago?" Miyuki nodded: "Exactly." The Huns had never prepared grain and grass, and after coming to the Central Plains, they could not hunt prey, so they could only rely on looting to maintain supplies. If a fire was set along the Yellow River and the farmland could be burned and cleared, hundreds of thousands of troops could be trapped on the march. At that time, even the emperor agreed with this plan, why didn't you listen to it?" Li Yan said silently for a while: "That's too cruel. It was too cruel to the people and to the Huns. ”

"Li Jun, I know you have a good heart, but you have also read a lot of history books recently, how can there be no one who fights in war in all dynasties?" Miyuki asked rhetorically.

Li Yan still shook his head: "If that's the case, what's the point of them taking home the garden?" but ......" He smiled: "Fortunately, everything is almost over." More than half of the Central Plains have been recovered, and now it is early spring, and if you move a little faster, the farmers can still catch up with the planting. There will be a harvest in the fall. He closed his eyes: "I can almost see the heavy wheat rising and falling in the fields, and the people bending over to work, with no fear on their faces. In the distance, smoke rises from the place called home...... It's so beautiful, more beautiful than anything I've ever seen. Meixue looked at him affectionately, and suddenly said, "Li Jun, let's go." Li Yan was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"I don't know. How about Fusang?" Li Yan scratched his head: "Can it be...... When, though?"

"Now. Miyuki repeated in a firm tone: "Right now." Li smiled bitterly: "Oh, that's not possible." How can I leave before the battle is over? I promise you that as long as the Xiongnu are driven away, I will accompany you to Fusang and never return to the Central Plains. You know, I don't care about titles or official positions, as long as I can be a chef with peace of mind, I'll be satisfied. Hearing this, Miyuki beat her spirits and smiled reluctantly: "Well......" At this moment, a figure suddenly shook outside the hall, and someone said: "Report to the handsome!" Miyuki exclaimed in a low voice: "Not good!" A face flushed with shame.

Although she is informal, after all, she knows that etiquette is strict and people are terrible, and if people bump into her, she really doesn't need to be a person.

Therefore, Rao is weekdays are full of opportunities, and he is also panicked at this moment. However, Li Yan was still relatively calm, and quietly pointed to the big Buddha behind him, signaling Miyuki to hide behind.

Miyuki was in a hurry, and it took half a day to hide it. But fortunately, Li Yan is a handsome, and no one dares to come in without his password.

Li Yan glanced at the Buddha statue a few more times, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he cleared his throat and said, "What's the matter?" The guard said through the window: "Handsome man, there is a guest who asks to see ......."

"Oh, who is it so late? There is an urgent military business that can't be done?" The guard usually specializes in delivering news, and is extremely clever, but at this time he stammered, and could not say a complete sentence.

Li Chuan suddenly had doubts in his heart and asked, "What's going on?" as he spoke, he swiped his hand towards the single knife on the bookcase.

At this time, I only heard a slightly immature voice say: "Li Taibao, don't be embarrassed for him, I won't let him report it." As he spoke, he saw a man walking in.

I saw that he was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate face and a slightly contrived maturity in his expression. Above and below Zhou is a set of brocade clothes.

Except for the other Dongzhu with a number on the sideburns, the person who came looked like an ordinary rich kid.

Li Zan's eyes on this young man were shocked, and he jumped up and said, "Minister, Li Ran, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

The little emperor smiled: "Excuse me." Only then was Li Yan able to stand up. He said cautiously: "I don't know why Your Majesty is here? With all due respect, this place is not far from the front line, and if you make a mistake, the minister can't afford it." Please also move back to the palace quickly......" The little emperor waved his hand impatiently: "These words, I have heard calluses in my ears." Do you want to come to Ming Jun like Han Gaozu and Tang Taizong to cower when they go to the battlefield? Or are I not as good as them?"

The little emperor suddenly looked him up and down a few times, and laughed: "Li Taibao, I want to reward you, and it is a heavy reward!" Li brutally shuddered, and said: "Your Majesty, today's victory depends on your great fortune, plus the soldiers' lives, the role played by the ministers is not a big ......" The little emperor was extremely smart, and instantly knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, don't be afraid." I'm not a faint king, can I still be afraid that you won't succeed?" Li Yanwei promised: "Yes, yes......" The little emperor seemed to like to see the courtiers fearful appearance the most, and smiled contentedly: "Aiqing, I came here this time, first, to visit you, and second, there are indeed some other reasons. Li Yan thought that something had happened in the court, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to return to the army?" The little emperor shook his head and said, "It's not what you think." I have a few words to tell you, but I feel that the edicts issued by the imperial court often do not reach the meaning, and I am afraid that you will misunderstand. So I'll tell you in person. After he finished speaking, he knew that Li Yan was going to be polite again, so he simply didn't give him this opportunity, and continued: "Taibao North rejects the Huns, what will you do after the Haiyan River is cleared?" The little emperor snorted and said, "You and I should be honest with each other, and we don't have to play these false words." There were three points of unhappiness in his tone.

But what Li Yan said was indeed from his heart, he has always been upright, so he said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister really thinks so in his heart." The little emperor didn't answer, stood up with his hands behind his back and paced around, suddenly stood suddenly, looked at the bright moon outside the hall and said: "Taibao, for thousands of years, the Xiongnu have always been a big trouble for my Han people. I don't think it's enough to drive them out of the Central Plains. In the future, when they regain their spirits and come back to fight us, the people of the world do not know how much more they will suffer. I still remember the scene of them breaking through the imperial capital nine years ago. Therefore, I want you to get rid of the evil, attack the desert in the north, and raze the dragon city to a flat place so that you can return to the dynasty. Li Yan was shocked: "But most of the Huns are still innocent people, how can they slaughter without asking?" This sentence was almost a naked confrontation, but fortunately, the little emperor didn't pay attention when his heart was agitated, and he flicked his robe sleeve and said: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." Have you forgotten the words of the saints? Yidi is no different from beasts, so why pity them!" Li Yan valued human life most in his life, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel a sudden unhappiness in his heart.

But the little emperor only cared about talking to himself, and didn't pay attention to Li Yan's face, only to see that he was excited, and he turned red like drinking a jar of spirits.

"Not only the Huns, but also the White Tiger. Is Sichuan theirs? They even dare to occupy it by force! Li Yan, I have ordered you to send a surprise army from Hanzhong to Shu as soon as you pacify the Xiongnu. I sent people to Yong'an to respond, as long as our heavenly soldiers arrived, the White Tiger Barbarian would definitely surrender without a fight. As for the Baiyue, Fusang, Goryeo, and other countries, seeing that our Great Liang country is declining, they actually have a relationship with me as brothers? This is a great insult. When the time comes, Taibao, you will command the army to sweep the four seas, subdue all nations, and create immortal achievements for me?" Li Yanji shuddered, he had heard many people say similar things, and each of them was a careerist.

He secretly looked at the little emperor, and suddenly found that the child in front of him was no longer the child who was poking his brain in the carriage nine years ago.

A thin circle of fluff had grown around his lips, and his voice had grown thick. This is the age when a person is at his most energetic and restless.

The ideas that sprout at this time are often as irritable and scary as flames. Li Yan said in as calm a tone as possible: "Your Majesty, the minister is a rough man who doesn't understand any big truths, but he knows that being a king should convince people with virtue. If you blindly fight fiercely, I'm afraid ...... It is against the way of loyalty and forgiveness. However, the little emperor did not hear it at all, and he was immersed in the great empire of fantasy.

“...... At that time, I will rule over an empire of thousands of miles. Hugh said that Siyi is in suit, that is, the gods in the sky have to kneel when they see me. At this time, he suddenly saw Li Zan's head down, so he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did Taibao just say?" Li Zan's mouth opened, but the emperor interrupted: "Forget it, listen to me first." This first step is not to be a teacher immediately after recovering the Central Plains, no matter how many people impeach you, you must stick to the Northern Expedition. I will support you in the court. Do you understand?" Li Yan knew that the little emperor would no longer listen to his words, so he sighed in his heart, bowed his head and said, "Obey the order." The emperor patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Taibao is really a loyal minister, I didn't believe in the wrong person." Hugh said that there is no reward for me, and that it is possible for you to give you a kingdom in the future if you do your best work. Li Yan had no choice but to reply: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The little emperor gave a few more instructions, and only left at the third watch.

When he walked away, he saw Miyuki turn out from behind the Big Buddha, and said with trembling lips: "Li Jun, let's escape!" Li Yan gently held her shoulder and comforted: "Miyuki, the emperor is indeed ...... It's true that he is too ambitious, but he is still young, and he should not understand what he means by what he says. Don't take it to heart. Miyuki shook her head vigorously: "No, you don't understand." I know the kind of people they are. They dare to do anything for their ambitions. She bit her lip fiercely and said, "Because my brother is such a person." Li Yan was taken aback: "Your brother, isn't that the Fusang Emperor?" Only then did he suddenly realize that some changes had been infiltrated in the letter of state submitted by Fusang recently, intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, will

"Emperor of the Great Liang",

Words like "Your Majesty" were deleted and replaced

The title of "Son of Heaven" faintly means to sit on an equal footing. Tips: Enter "Panda Literature" in the search engine, you can find this site, thank you.
