The drums were beating and the horns were ordering, and the Yang Tang army had 160,000 people, and they could take turns to rest while maintaining continuous attacks.

At this time, it was already half of the night, but tens of thousands of torches were lit, making the entire battlefield red, and the military might was so strong that it really made people feel cold and timid.

On the city of Hanzhong, every soldier of Li Tang who defended the city struggled in the nightmare of life and death.

"What else do I have not considered? What other psychological shortcomings do I have? When the enemy is struggling with life and death, it is a straw and I must try desperately, and I must not ignore any front-line crisis. ”

Before this great victory, Yang Xuan stood on the high platform and pondered.

As soon as Hanzhong was broken, Chang'an shook, it can be said that, basically, Li Valve's 300,000 army has been crumbling, after all, the Guanzhong army, living in each county and county, is not the dead soldier of the Li family, and the army's heart is inevitable, as long as he surrenders and rebels, the collapse of Li Valu is just around the corner.

The dragon becomes a gathering of clouds, and the trees fall and scatter, which is actually the same meaning.

People are attached to you, but you have the hope of success, once the general trend has gone, people will naturally not die hard to go to the dark.

Li valve is deep-rooted, the party is full, the world is high, once the Guanzhong is captured, the natural dependence of the people, can be called the dragon into a storm.

But now, Hanzhong has become the last straw that overwhelms the camel, once Hanzhong falls, the general trend of Guanzhong is irreversible, and the tree will fall and scatter, even Li Valve cannot change this law.

On the Yellow River, tens of thousands of sailors on both sides fought desperately, and before Tongguan, Luo Shixin led an army of 150,000, not only to press the checkpoint, but also to monitor the Song Jingang Department on the Yellow River.

And the first line of Luoyang is also stationed with a large army to guard against Dou Jiande who is heading north.

Xue Rengao and Li Tang have a grudge against their father. And there is also a fundamental conflict in strategy, and once the wolf-like Turks are indulged, Xue Rengao's foundation will collapse immediately, and the possibility of cooperation is very small, but he also planted 10,000 soldiers, commanded by Song Faliang, and the task is to be in a possible location. Intercepted for ten days.

What else is not considered?

Li Jing?

Let's not talk about it now, the general trend of the world is already very clear, is Li Jing a fool? Let go of the founding ministers and run away as a dying Li Valve as a dog?

Although the surname is the same, they are not the same family at all. And Li Valve, because it is deeply rooted, it is difficult for outsiders to ascend to the position, everyone knows this, just look at Li Valve's military power---- most of which are in the hands of Li Yuan and his son.

And control over the army. He was already very strict, and Li Jing was ordered to attack Shuzhong, using all his own soldiers. With the supervision of the factory guards and the containment of the Song family, even if Li Jing seized Shuzhong and his prestige increased greatly, it would be difficult to control the whole army, not to mention that at present, he would personally conquer and control the whole army. Who can rebel?

Despite this consideration, he still whispered: "Spread my will, and the factory guards will supervise Li Jingdi, and all of them will be activated." ”

"The ministers obeyed. "The guard's factory guards are on call.

Although Li Jing may be aware, it doesn't matter. It is only natural for the superior to supervise the subordinate. Especially at this critical time.

"Spread my will, each battalion has its own strategy, except for the attack of the camp, the rest of the soldiers are ordered, and the camp must not be tampered with. ”

"Spread my will, the camp will strengthen the defense, and once there is a change, Mercedes will control the whole field. ”

Li Shimin is approaching, which makes Yang Xuanning feel a complex in his heart that even he can't understand, Li Shimin is a man known as the first emperor of the ages, but unfortunately, he and him have really only met once.

The goals are different, until the oath is not separated, there is no buffer room in the middle, and no one can change the situation, but Li Shimin is now at the end of the road, and he has the upper hand.

At this moment, Yang Xuanning wanted to really entrust Li Jing to command, and lead the cavalry to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Li Shimin, so as to really confront Li Shimin.

But this impulse was suppressed.

From the beginning of his own attack, the layout of the Li valve has already begun, and he will start an incident, take out the treasure of Yang Gong, attack and kill the air to seize the jade seal of the country, until it swept the south, and the Lingnan Alliance, so that he later supported Xue Ju, so that Emperor Yang of Sui went north to return to the capital, until now to capture Hanzhong, this series of strategic layouts, even if I think about it, I also feel that I have great powers, and I tease the enemy, including Li Shimin, in the palm of my hand.

Competing for the world, taking the lead, step by step, this is a snowball-like process.

In the original history, Li Shimin was indeed an emperor through the ages, but now he is trapped in the pond, with dragon hearts, dragon bones and dragon scales, but he has to exist in the form of a python, which is the true meaning of organization and the art of war.

And he has already turned into a dragon, the world and the ocean, the wind and clouds, all with it, how can he take the white dragon fish suit and personally go to capture and kill Li Shimin? If he breaks away from the army and only takes 10,000 people with him, then maybe he will really be ambushed and die when the great cause is about to be accomplished.

As long as I am here, no one in the army can defeat me!

The dragon does not personally capture and kill the python, this is where the right path lies, and it is good to go along with it, and it is not good to go against it.

With this in mind, Yang Xuanning finally issued a will: "Order the king of Zhennan to dispose of Li Shimin's affairs with full authority, and he can lead 20,000 troops, and say to the king of Zhennan that I am waiting for his good news." ”

As soon as this will came out, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and the faint uneasiness in his heart was completely eliminated.

A cottage in the countryside somewhere

The furniture in the house is simple, but it looks like it has been cleaned a lot.

There were more than a dozen people in the pavilion, each silent, sitting in meditation or checking their weapons.

Suddenly, one of them said, "Someone has entered the village! King Yongkang, what should I do?"

Everyone was shocked, and looked straight at Li Shentong in the middle, this is Li Yuan's brother, Bai Zong Zhengqing, General Youyiwei, Feng Yongkang Wang, Li Shentong has always been very close to Li Shimin, so here, it is not surprising.

Li Shentong was surprised: "Kill this group of people, and then see if it's an accident or search here!"

Li Shentong's martial arts may not surpass Li Yuan, but his prestige in the rivers and lakes is especially better than that of his brother. Unauthorized use of the three halberds, hooks, pecks, cuts, and thorns are varied, and the fame of the north is shocked.

After that, he proposed the Three Halberds.

When I went out, I heard a few screams outside, and my heart suddenly sank.

Those were the people on guard outside, and they were all good at Li Valve. How could they be killed so easily? Looking around, I saw that about 200 horsemen rushed straight into the village.

When he saw the leader, his face turned even pale.

Shi Zhixuan, who can not be rampant in the world, rides leisurely and comes slowly. Straight into the front without any scruples.

With Li Shentong's strength, he also showed a frightened and nervous look, and his subordinates immediately drew all their weapons and waited for the battle. Shi Zhixuan's prestige and strength, maybe others don't know. But like the core personnel of Li Valve, they all knew very well, and suddenly complained in their hearts, since Shi Zhixuan had already come. It shows that intercepting oneself is not accidental.

Shi Zhixuan stopped his horse ten steps away from Li Shentong, condescendingly, his eyes were full of demons, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be King Yongkang, it's really a blessing." ”

Li Shentong smiled bitterly and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Shi." It's a real blessing, I don't know what the point of coming is here. "The whole world is not the king's land, and I want to ask you why you have come here at this time? Why don't you join me and meet the Holy One, and I believe that the Holy One will be very happy. ”

Li Shentong's eyes froze. Knowing that the situation is not good, he snorted. Quickly retreated, and the two guards immediately flashed into the gap between the two sides, as the person of Li Valve, at this time, there was only this choice.

But as soon as the knife flashed, Shi Zhixuan rode forward, and the terrible sound of the long knife tearing through the flesh and blood immediately sounded, and the two guards scattered the long knives on the ground, fell backwards, and died on the spot.

Li Shentong ignored it completely, biting from the tip of his tongue, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then the retreating figure immediately sped up by half.

Now in this situation, it is obvious that Yang Xuanning has been prepared for a long time, the original plan is not feasible, and he must go back to inform him, otherwise, not only Li Shimin will fold at this time, but also a third of the elites who will accompany the burial.

Shi Zhixuan didn't expect him to be so desperate, he turned over and dismounted at the moment, flew up with a kick, and intercepted a master in front, and suddenly his chest was like a hammer blow, blood came out of his mouth, and he fell out, and before the others could intercept it, Shi Zhixuan had already launched the illusion demon body method, and caught up with Li Shentong like a shadow.

In the end, Shi Zhixuan's illusion demon body method is powerful, only between ten breaths, he caught up with Li Shentong, Li Shen informed that it was not good, and he also took out all his strength, fighting to the death, the two figures were flashing and clashing rapidly, so fast that it was dazzling, and the sound of internal qi colliding was endless, and the most fierce and fierce hand-to-hand combat was carried out.

After only five breaths, only a crisp sound was heard, Li Shentong's face was like ashes, and he retreated again and again, and Shi Zhixuan's face was also a little pale, but it recovered in a blink of an eye.

"If you don't have the fighting spirit, if you want to go back in a hurry, maybe you can have a few tricks with me, it's a pity, in fact, it's useless for you to go back, because Song Quedi is a few points better than me in the way of using soldiers, do you think that since Li Shimin is here, he can still go back?"

Li Shentong reluctantly turned back, but saw a direction, the mountain fire was lit up, the fire rose to the sky, and the night sky was also dyed red, and he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, threw himself to the ground, and died of exhaustion.

Xu Ziling was on the top of a nearby mountain, watching the flames in the distance, and there was a person next to him, but it was Hou Xibai.

Xu Ziling asked, "Hou Xibai came to see me, is it the meaning of the commander?"

"There is also the meaning of the concubine, this is the last chance, since it is not successful, please Ziling Wanwan not to meddle in this matter. ”

Xu Ziling was silent, his expression darkened, and he said with feeling: "Could it be that Concubine Xuan finally has to change her choice?"

Hou Xibai was silent. Then he sighed and said: "The master once said to me, to appreciate the beauty of the world with a detached attitude, when I saw the concubine for the first time, it was like seeing the true works of Zhan Ziqian, and I felt that there could be no better beauty in the world, she made me realize the true meaning of beauty, which is beyond my brush. Since she stepped into the world, let me and a few others see it, Hou Xibai is no longer the previous Hou Xibai. Hou Xibai's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "But today's choice of Concubine Xuan made me understand more deeply that there is no perfect thing in the world, even a woman like Concubine Xuan, no exception, only in the most beautiful moment, record them with pen and ink, and achieve immortal beauty." ”

"The law should be abandoned. What's more, the recorded Concubine Xuan is no longer a Concubine Xuan, but my deepest imprint on the beauty, which will surely be clear and unstained for decades to come. ”

Xu Ziling remembered the touching scenes of meeting with Concubine Xuan several times, and sighed: "Well said. You put into words what I can't describe. ”

Xu Ziling then returned to calm and said, "I have always hoped that I will never see any war again, but I always think that Concubine Xuan is such a fairy. I won't change my choice, but now it seems that I was wrong. ”

Hou Xibai sighed and said: "Maybe someone can have no regrets at all, but it is not the concubine, she has too many responsibilities and implications." How could she choose by herself? Moreover, do you know that Song Que is here today. It has a deep meaning. Hou Xibai said.

"What does it mean?"

"Since the Wuhu, the nobles who stayed in Guanlong have been actively marrying with the Hu nobles in order to maintain the foundation and expand the political and military strength in the north. Married to protect herself, not crowned, in order to maintain the purity of bloodline and culture, today Guanzhong is broken, and Song Que is here. Don't you understand?"

"You say it's a cleansing of the entire North?"

"The whole cleansing of the North, that's impossible. But those aristocratic family lords, who have deep ties with the Hu family, I'm afraid that there are not many good results, Song Quewei is famous, if he presides over the purge, in the current situation, who can compete?"

"Isn't this equivalent to the role of a butcher?

"Song Que is dedicated to the orthodoxy of the Han nationality, what is this crime? Concubine Xuan has known that the big thing is not good since Song Que came, and now Li Shimin's attack is just a last effort, and now the effort is broken, so naturally he can only comply, otherwise, he is afraid that if he disobeys a little, the heads of thousands of people will fall to the ground. ”

When Xu Ziling heard this, she felt extremely melancholy, and suddenly, in Luoyang, the last two of her looked at each other for a moment, and then she slowly nodded and said, "That's right." ”

After a moment of silence, Hou Xibai said again: "Someone in my Holy Gate specializes in the art of searching, and has discovered the traces of Li Shimin, and the Heavenly Sword Song Que personally presided, together with the masters of the Song family and the masters of the Holy Gate, led a total of 30,000 people to pursue, and they have already stopped the key places at the checkpoint, but I am afraid that Li Shimin has come this time and will not be able to return." ”

"Can't Li Shimin return it?"

"The way out is dead, he is already trapped in this mountain, just clearing the mountain road and cutting down the trees, it will take time, of course Song Que will not leave him any room. It's just that Li Shimin is also a decisive person, as soon as he was discovered, he found that the way was cut off, and immediately set up camp on a mountain, this mountain is very dangerous, and there is a water source, and the horses can also be killed, there will be no problem for a while, but if you want to get out, it is also very difficult, and when Hanzhong is broken, the army comes, and it is only a few days late to die. ”

After a pause, he said: "In a few days, there may be a matter of the concubine ordering the Hu sect to rebel, presumably you don't want to see such a situation? ”

Xu Ziling was silent, staring at the hills between the mountains, under the moonlight, the streams and rivers were hidden in the ancient trees, a peaceful, ignorant of the terrible war, spreading to this peaceful heaven and earth, his heart couldn't help but have mixed feelings, just said: "The sky kills, the stars change the place, the earth kills, the dragon and the snake rise to land, the people kill the machine, the heaven and the earth repeat." These things are really none of my business. ”

Hou Xibai frowned and said, "Listening to Ziling's tone, it seems that he has the idea of giving up everything?"

Xu Ziling said with a wry smile: "I want to go to the earth, just leave this place as soon as possible, I just want to travel around the world now, be one with heaven and earth, and ignore these things again." ”

He had said it before, but now he was resolute.

With his cleverness, wouldn't he understand Concubine Xuan's choice? If someone else is concerned, he may be moved by Concubine Xuan's kind of heavenly and human resources, but Yang Xuanning simply ignored it, and even regarded this kind of heavenly and human assets as a rare thing and played with it wantonly.

If Concubine Xuan resolutely resists, he will not hesitate to fight against Yang Xuanning with her, even if he is broken, but now, Concubine Xuan has chosen so, which makes him feel indescribably painful and lost.

This is not only the relationship between men and women, but also a feeling of being perfectly broken in his mind, which makes him suddenly born without love, the world is like the wind, and there is no attachment.
