The envoy of Dacheng is one of Li Xiong's sons, Li Xiong's sons are many, but the prince passed on to his nephew Li Ban, which made the ministers of Dacheng confused, they couldn't figure out Li Xiong's true thoughts, so most of them were watching, and some people thought they were very smart, and began to bet indiscriminately, whether it was the prince or Li Xiong's sons, they could not form a solid team. This may also be a means for Li Xiong to balance his subordinates, Li Xiong's power was concentrated in his hands during his reign, but after his death, Dacheng Kingdom became a mess.

This son, Li Qi, is also one of the ambitious princes who want to inherit the throne, in the original history, this person and his brother killed the emperor Li Ban after the death of his father Li Xiong and ascended to the throne. But in just a few years, he killed several of his brothers, and so much so that his ministers lost faith in him, so much so that he was deposed by his own uncle and committed suicide. But now he is still full of energy, and his reputation is very good, Li Qi is smart and studious, he can write articles when he is very young, light on money and good charity, and humbly recruit talents. Otherwise, he would not have done his best to win this errand, he thought that this time he was giving him credit, but he had been here for more than a month, and he had not even seen Xie Ai, the main general of the southern front, a few times.

No one is a fool these days, Dachengguo wants to let Daming contribute, they make their own money, how could Xie Ai agree, so it is expected that he will be snubbed, but this Li Qi does not think so, he feels that he is a dignified son, and he is actually left out, which is simply too deceitful. If it weren't for his subordinates repeatedly blocking him, he would have returned to Dacheng in a fit of anger, which is also the sorrow of Dachengguo, you must know that Li Qi is only nineteen years old, and he has to bear such a heavy responsibility, and there is no one under Li Xiong, the lord of Dacheng.

On this day, he went out of the embassy to the Qinglou to have fun as usual, and I have to say that after Chu Yun came to power, he did not extort tyranny, and treated the people equally, whether they were Han or Hu, and his energy recovery was still good. Therefore, even the small county town has also flourished from Xinxing, and Qinglou has also opened a lot of homes, although it is not as good as Chengdu in Dacheng, but it also has a unique flavor. This also made Li Qi linger.

Li Qi is already a frequent visitor, as soon as he entered the Huamanlou, he was warmly invited by the old bustard, he hugged the two plump sisters and wanted to go upstairs, and suddenly saw that Hong Bin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who had been entertaining him during this time, was talking with his back to himself and a person.

The duty of the Ministry of Rites is to entertain foreign guests, this person is not only responsible for entertaining Dachengguo and his party, but also assisting Xie Ai in negotiations, so Li Qi wanted to come forward to say hello, and he also wanted to inquire about how the Ming court would treat the alliance with Dachengguo. As a result, as soon as he walked into Hong Bin, he heard the news about their Dacheng Kingdom, and Li Qi immediately stopped.

"Your Majesty has defeated Zhao Guo Shi Di, Shi Di's hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out, this time our Daming Kingdom has won the victory. I heard that His Majesty is ready to lead an army of 100,000 to the southern front, Dacheng and I have an alliance with insincerity, it is rumored that Your Majesty is ready to unite with the Great Jin to destroy the Dacheng Kingdom, when the time comes, I will want Hanzhong, and the Great Jin will want Yizhou, and we will no longer have to suffer the anger of the Dacheng Kingdom. They want to just make money and not get out of the house, where is such a good thing? Let's have two drinks and celebrate first. Hong Bin said to the man sitting with him, Li Qi listened coldly, some time ago, he was satisfied that Da Ming was begging for himself, so he was indeed a little arrogant, is it because of this Da Ming to abandon them and form an alliance with Da Jin? This news is very important, he wants to send it back quickly, he walked out quietly, and happened to meet the old bustard.

"Li Gongzi, where are you going, Yanhong and they are waiting for you. (Where did Li Qi dare to delay, he took out a handful of copper coins and handed it to the old bustard, and then hurriedly left Huamanlou, after he left, the old bustard cautiously came to Hong Bin's side, Hong Bin waved his hand, and the old bustard left like a run.)

"Lord Zheng, since our mission has been completed, please have two drinks. Hong Bin flattered and said to the people at the table, this person is Zheng Jie, whom Chu Yun trusts very much, and has now become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and is the top boss of Hong Bin, the right waiter.

"Forget it, Your Majesty also invited me to go back, where do I have this time, you have done a good job in this matter, I will ask you for credit in front of Your Majesty." You have handed over all the benefits that Li Qi gave you to the treasury, and you have done the right thing. Our salary is the highest in all dynasties, and since Your Majesty treats us so well, we must also repay Your Majesty wholeheartedly, which is the duty of a courtier. After Zheng Jie finished speaking, Hong Bin said yes again and again.

The salary of the Ming Kingdom is indeed the highest in all dynasties, Chu Yun learned the Manchu Yongzheng system of supporting honesty with silver, which greatly increased the income of his subordinates, although this can not make every official honest and not greedy, but it is enough to make those officials who are willing to be good officials have no worries about food and clothing, not like the Ming Dynasty, even high-ranking officials like Hai Rui can't afford to eat meat, that's not the corruption that forces officials.

When Li Qi returned to the post house, he immediately consulted with a few deputies he had brought, and they were shocked when they found out, on the one hand, they were surprised by the defeat of Da Zhao Shidi, and on the other hand, they were surprised by the attitude of Da Ming. They didn't doubt the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Jin, after all, the Iron Blood Army was originally a subordinate of the Great Jin, and Chu Yun was the deputy governor of the state and the Marquis of Wu'an, who was canonized by Emperor Han of the Jin Dynasty, and it was not strange that he was now under enemy on all sides, and he took refuge in the Great Jin again.

"Your Highness, please return to Dacheng immediately and report to Your Majesty. It is hoped that His Highness will be able to ask General Xie as soon as possible to continue to discuss the alliance. A deputy envoy surnamed Guo of Dacheng immediately said to Li Qi.

"Deputy Envoy Guo, Da Ming is now preparing to unite with Da Jin, will I be in danger here, or let's go back together." Li Qi said. Deputy Envoy Guo was very disappointed in this prince, so irresponsible, no wonder your father didn't look down on you, but he still patiently persuaded him.

"Your Royal Highness, Chu Yun of the Great Ming Kingdom is called the emperor, and the Great Jin regards it as a rebellion, so unless the Ming Chuyun goes to the emperor to claim the title of minister, it is impossible to quickly form an alliance. And Chu Yun defeated Shi Di and was strong, so how could he easily get rid of the emperor title. Therefore, we still have room for maneuver, as long as Your Highness can delay the time for the alliance between Da Ming and Da Jin here, and strive for me to return to Your Majesty. At that time, His Majesty will definitely look at His Highness differently, after all, His Highness is His Majesty's son, and even the position of the crown prince will be very possible at that time, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Your Highness thinks twice. Deputy Envoy Guo said to Li Qi, Li Qi's face changed several times, and finally agreed.

"Deputy Envoy Guo, there is no problem for me to stay here, but you have to tell your father that in order to delay Daming, I need to give Daming some substantive concessions, otherwise I can't gain Daming's trust with empty words, I hope you can make it clear to your father." Hearing Li Qi say this, Deputy Envoy Guo's opinion of Li Qi changed greatly, and he immediately nodded in agreement, and then left quickly.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Dacheng has already sent someone back to China, and I believe that the news we passed on to them, Li Xiong, the lord of Dacheng, will soon know. When the time comes, even if Li Xiong is treacherous, he will have to compromise with us. Zheng Jie said to Chu Yun with a smile.

"Hehe, Li Xiong is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that Dacheng has few people and a weak country, they are destined to be difficult to rise, not to mention that Dajin is not so easy to deal with, they want to bite Dajin hard, it may be possible in a short time, but when Dajin comes to his senses, then they will definitely spit it out. What's more, Li Xiong is almost sixty this year, and it is estimated that he will not live for a few years, once he dies and no one comes forward, Dacheng is likely to have the disaster of destroying the country. This time Li Xiong can only compromise, you just do according to the original plan, I won't stay here. Shi Le's army of more than 100,000 has penetrated deep into the territory of Yongzhou and Shangjun, and You Shoufu should almost be ready to act, I want to take a look. Xie Ai and Zheng Jie knew that Chu Yun had handed over the rest to the two of them, so they were overjoyed, this was Chu Yun's trust in them.

"By the way, in the name of my old friend, go and send some supplies to Wen Qiao, don't send too much, just starve them to death. After Chu Yun finished speaking, Xie Ai immediately knew that this was not a good intention, but a means to put pressure on Dachengguo, and he immediately agreed.

It's not that Chu Yun doesn't want to wait for the end of the southern front before leaving, but Chu Yun is a little confused about Youziyuan's thoughts, Chu Yun received the news that Shile's two-way army swept through most of Shangjun all the way, all the way to Chang'an, but Youziyuan has a 300,000-strong army but has been letting them wreak havoc. Although Chu Yun believed in Youziyuan, once there was a problem and Chang'an was lost, then Chu Yun's power in Yongzhou would suddenly disappear, and Chu Yun had to be cautious.

Only then did Chu Yun know the pain of being an emperor, basically none of his courtiers could fully believe it, and sometimes, he knew that something was wrong, but he had to do it. This is probably the emperor's mental trick, it is estimated that Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty also cried and killed Yue Fei when he killed him, is he a fool? I don't know that Yue Fei is the pillar of optimus in the Southern Song Dynasty? But he has to kill, because Yue Fei is indeed a loyal minister, but he is not loyal to himself, he wants to welcome back Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, one is his own father and the other is his eldest brother, what should he do if they come back? Even if he gives way to his father, his own life may not be saved. You must know that the royal family has no family affection, and Song Gaozong can only kill Yue Fei. Even if he is partial to peace, he is still the emperor.

When Chu Yun went to Chang'an, Chang'an was already crowded with refugees, and there were panicked people everywhere, and Chang'an was also shocked three times a day, after all, the tens of thousands of troops led by Shi Leqin had already killed near Chang'an.

I have to say that You Ziyuan is much harder after he gets old, he advocated support and suppression and used it to appease, and soon pacified the rebellion of the Hu people in Yongzhou, but he was not even willing to kill the Hu people back then. But now for the sake of his own name, he actually allowed the people of the Ming Dynasty to be killed and wounded, and now the Shile army has broken through several counties, and the number of dead and wounded is no less than 100,000, in order to let the Shile army enter his encirclement.

"What about You Shoufu?" Chu Yun didn't inform many people when he came back, and even You Ziyuan didn't know that Chu Yun didn't return to the palace, but came to the mansion of Liu Dongyong, the general of Chang'an, who was ordered to garrison Chang'an.

Liu Dongyong was very frightened of Chu Yun's return, of course he was also affected by Shi Le's army advancing into Chang'an, but except for Chu Yun and You Ziyuan, the rest of the people didn't know what the two bigwigs thought, and he thought that he had not completed the task assigned by Chu Yun, so of course he was afraid.

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general doesn't know where You Shoufu went, he only asked me to guard Chang'an with peace of mind, I haven't seen You Shoufu for several days, and the most recent one was two weeks ago. Chu Yun's brows furrowed, even Liu Dongyong didn't know where the wanderer had gone?

"Number three. After Chu Yun finished speaking, a secret guard appeared in front of Chu Yun.

"You go to Youziyuan's mansion and see if his family is still there. After Chu Yun finished speaking, the secret guard left immediately, and Liu Dongyong lowered his head deeply.

On the edge of Jingzhao County in Yongzhou, Shi Le personally stationed here with tens of thousands of troops.

"Something is wrong, I don't think the situation is right, although the Ming Dynasty is attacked on all sides, it shouldn't be so easy for my commander to drive in. Compared with the excited generals, Shile was much more cautious.

"Your Majesty, are you too cautious? It has only been a few years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and they have survived 300,000 troops, and His Royal Highness Shi Di, Liang Guo, Dacheng Guo and Dajin are surrounded with all their might, and it is normal for their troops to be overstretched. Besides, we marched from Bingzhou, so secretive, it is reasonable for them to be unable to draw troops for a while. Along the way, we have broken through more than a dozen cities with our strength, and those people are fighting to the death, which is not fake. Peach Leopard, who finally got the opportunity after so many years, said, but what he said this time did make many people agree, and Peach Leopard saw that many people spoke up to support him, and he was a little proud.

"Your Majesty, General Tao is right, His Royal Highness Guangshi has dispatched more than 100,000 troops, plus the other three kingdoms, the number of troops is not more than 300,000, and the Ming Dynasty will never have the strength to deal with us. The two generals, Kui An and Kong Chang, also said the same, and Shi Le dispelled some doubts.

"Okay, tomorrow we will march into Chang'an, blossom in their middle road, even if we can't capture Chang'an, let Daming have to draw troops to rescue, then the other three roads will have a chance, I want to see what Daming should do." Once the Ming Dynasty falls, other countries will not be our opponents, and it will not be difficult to dominate the country at that time. When Shile had finished speaking, everyone shouted in response.

The Guanzhong Plain has been the core area of Han culture since ancient times, and both the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty were the emperors who achieved the achievements after taking away Guanzhong. Judging from the map, the Guanzhong Plain is located in the middle of Shaanxi Province in the later generations, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the North Mountain, west from Baoji, east to Tongguan, here the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, known as "eight hundred miles of Qinchuan".

Longshan Mountain Range, also known as "Da Long Mountain" and "Liupan Mountain", is the boundary mountain of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi and the Loess Plateau in Longxi, and the watershed of the Wei River and the Jing River, with twists and turns. The boundless army is slowly passing through the Longshan Mountains, and as long as it passes here, it will reach the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, and it will also enter Jingzhao County, where Chang'an is located.

This is Shi Le's army, seventy or eighty thousand troops have been discharged for dozens of miles, and the front is Tao Bao Tao, he is the vanguard of the whole army, I have to say that Tao Bao has been captured by Chu Yun and has been idle for so many years, but he is still a fierce general, let him play the forward is indeed Shi Le's good use of people, Tao Bao is experienced, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he has worked hard with soldiers along the way, and has made a lot of contributions.

Shile is in the center of the army, this is of course one of the safest places in the whole army, Shile on a horse looks like an ordinary general, but his front and back are the most elite Qian's personal guards, although there is Shile's honor guard in the middle, but it is just an ornament.

However, no matter how careful the peach leopard is, he can't thoroughly search the vast Longshan Mountain Range, on the front and back sides of the Longshan Mountain Range, continuous camp tents are covered with two slopes of the Longshan Mountain Range, if each camp can accommodate ten people, then the number of these tents is at least more than 100,000 people. There are so many people who barely make a sound, which shows how elite it is.

An old man with white hair was condescendingly looking at the army marching on the road of Longshan, and his weather-beaten face actually carried a trace of excitement and madness, this person was the wanderer who had been in the news for a long time.

For an old man who is not good at money and lustful for his children and grandchildren, what can make him so excited is nothing more than the eternal, this time he set up a super encirclement, ready to swallow Shile's two roads of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, although this kind of record is not as good as several super generals, but it is enough to make the wanderer far away in history.

"Shoufu, shall we act?" The person next to You Ziyuan is Bo Bing, this guy with a bit of a slippery head, has completely tied himself to Chu Yun's chariot, because he is smart, he is slippery, and therefore smart He can see the potential of Daming, don't look at Daming's danger, but as long as he can survive this crisis, Bo Bing feels that the whole world will be Daming, so he tried his best to cooperate with You Ziyuan and showed a hundred and twenty enthusiasm, which also made You Ziyuan look up to him like a confidant.

"Don't worry, we'll act when they all enter Longshan. "You Ziyuan's heart is very big, he is old, he knows that this is likely to be the last time he will lead the army, so he wants to draw a perfect end to his life, he wants to leave Shi Le and his army behind, so that if Da Ming can really unify the country, then he You Ziyuan and even his descendants will have a very happy ending, he believes that Chu Yun will not treat him badly.

However, the wanderer did not pay attention, a war horse from the direction of Bingzhou was heading towards the Shile army, this person desperately urged the war horse, the war horse opened its mouth and swallowed like a dog, the fur on the body was already soaked, and the sweat continued to drip down, but the people on the back of the horse were still whipping the horses.

"It's not far away, Xiao Wu insisted that it was almost there. The warrior on horseback saw his beloved war horse and knew that it was almost to the limit, and now people can never understand the feelings of the ancient cavalry and the horse, this person wanted to cry, but the wind under the high speed blew his tears back, he could only wipe the corners of his dry eyes, and continued to desperately urge the war horse.
