Chapter 81: Out of the Mountain

Xuan Qi, who received the news of the Huns' entry into the customs, sighed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xuanqi really can't figure out how Li Chengye dares to risk the world's disapproval and switch to meet the enemy. At this time, Xuan Qi felt powerless, knowing that under the iron hooves of the Huns, the people of the Celestial Empire would be ruined from now on, but he had no way to save the people from the dire situation.

At this time, Xuan Qi had already left the Shangqing Palace and was on his way back to Tamsui City. Since it can't be rescued, Xuan Qi can only choose to turn a blind eye. Xuan Qi, who returned to Tamsui City, could obviously feel Li Xing's restlessness, so he simply chose to see Li Xing rarely, and spent every day messing with the children in the small barracks. Only when facing these naïve children, Xuan Qi will let himself not think about those troublesome things.

Just a year has passed. In this year, Xuan Qi specially ordered to go down and not let the news of the Celestial Empire bother him, until Li Xing walked into the small barracks with the dying old Zhang Chu. Xuan Qi was sitting on the bamboo bench at the moment, watching the children play with his feet crossed.

"The old minister has seen the little prince!"

"Qingqing, come over and let Dad hug you!"

"Daddy wants to invite Qingqing to eat maltose?"

Xuan Qi snapped, patted Qingqing's little buttocks, and said with some blame: "How can you be the same as your sister, you are also a little gluttonous cat! ”

"Little Prince..." Zhang Chu panted and followed behind Xuan Qi, constantly calling Xuan Qi.

"Bring one for your sister too. ”

"No, my sister can get married, and she still comes to grab Qingqing's things! Grandpa, Qingqing invites you to eat maltose!" Qingqing stretched out his little hand and handed the maltose in his hand to Li Xing.

"Is Qingqing planning to let grandpa sweeten all his teeth?" Li Xing joked about Qingqing with a smile, took the maltose and put it in his mouth, which made Qingqing giggle.

"Lord, little prince, you can... chase after you!"

"Qingqing, let's play with Grandpa Gao!" Xuan Qi handed Qingqing to the happy book on the side, watched the happy book walk away with Qingqing in his arms, and then walked forward slowly.

Under the shade of the trees by the Tamsui River, Li Xing and Xuan Qi sat down on the grass casually, and Zhang Chu, who was still panting, stood aside respectfully. Although he was very reluctant to see Zhang Xing's condescending appearance, Xuan Qi was still willing to take care of Li Xing's thoughts and quietly listened to Zhang Xing's details.

In the past year, the earth of the Celestial Empire has undergone tremendous changes. On the South Vietnamese side, Zhenla had already been completely swallowed up by the Tianzhu army, and had many confrontations with Qian Chaoxian of South Vietnam. Fortunately, when Zhuge Yunzhi resigned as the guard of Yanmen Pass, he followed Xuan Qi's advice and went to South Vietnam. Although he did not have an official position in the imperial court, as the military advisor of the Qian Dynasty, Zhuge Yunzhi still played a great role, and several battles with the Tianzhu army made the Tianzhu army suffer a lot of losses. For a while, the Tianzhu army could only stop advancing, unable to advance an inch.

The Tianzhu army Chen Bing was west of Nanyue, and seeing that it was difficult to conquer Nanyue for a while, he simply turned his troops and hit it off with Puzan, who was driven out of Tibet by Kunzan. Puzan led an army of 300,000 Tianzhu to occupy a large area of Tubo and approached Pali.

The rebels in the northwest simply took refuge in Li Chengye, attacked from both sides, and forced the army of Li Gan, the king of Shu, back to Sichuan and Shu, and the king of Shu could only personally lead the army to hold Longnan City, which slightly relieved the pressure on Sichuan and Shu. And Li Chengye can only occupy the area around Shaanxi, Gansu and Jinjin, and cannot go south for the time being.

The combined forces of Bohai and Silla were also overwhelming, seizing the entire territory of Shandong and the eastern part of Henan, and at this moment they were already encircling Pengzhou, Yingzhou, and Huainan, and the north of the Yangtze River had basically fallen into the hands of the coalition forces. Li Gan, the king of Qi, and Li Han, the king of Wu, had no choice but to begin to retreat south of the Yangtze River.

The biggest threat still comes from the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu army, which is not hindered by high mountains and dangerous passes, has exhausted the strength of the whole country, and the number of troops has reached 500,000. The 500,000-strong army, with iron hooves, has already taken most of Henan, most of Hubei, and the troops are on the Yangtze River. To the north of the Yangtze River, Jingzhou remains. The army of Li Chun, the king of Yu, had fully retreated to the south of Jingzhou, Li Su, the king of Han, retreated to Ezhou, Li Min, the king of Hong, retreated to the area of Poyang Lake, and the army of Li Qing, the king of Xiang, was stationed in Yuezhou.

In this way, the Yangtze River Heavenly Danger has almost become the last line of defense of the Celestial Empire's army. As long as there is a link in this line of defense, I am afraid that it will bring the iron hooves of the Xiongnu and the Bohai and Silla coalition armies, and the loss of the Celestial Empire will not be far off. The rebels had to suspend the civil war and sit down together to discuss how to deal with it. In today's situation, there is no room for the anti-kings to fight on their own.

After three days of deliberation, the kings did not obey each other, so they had to introduce Li Zhe, who had been under house arrest for many years, and in the name of Li Zhe's orthodoxy, the era name was restored to form a unified alliance. At the same time, it also announced to the world, seeking people with lofty ideals from all over the world to resist the world.

And what worries the kings the most is the bitter and unbeatable generals. Zhuge Yunzhi and Qian Chaoxian, who were slightly capable, were far away in South Vietnam, resisting the invasion of the Tianzhu army and could not be distracted. Moreover, with the ability and prestige of the two, it is not enough to command the soldiers and horses of the whole country.

After thinking about it, Li Cheng, the king of Fujian, and Tamsui City looked at each other across the sea, and had some friendship with his cousins Li Xing and Xuan Qi, and put forward a proposal to invite the two of them out of the mountain. The kings have no grievances with Li Xing and Xuan Qi, so they naturally agree, but it is difficult to conclude who to send to Tamsui City to invite Li Xing and Xuan Qi back. Li Cheng, the king of Fujian, even bluntly said that Xuanqi had a lot of complaints about the court, and although he had some friendships, he would definitely not be able to persuade this cousin. And as long as Xuan Qi doesn't agree, Li Xing will definitely not go out of the mountain to help.

Li Zhe knew that he had already broken Xuan Qi's heart, but now he could only take care of the overall situation, and said that he was willing to go to Tamsui City in person and invite Li Xing and Xuan Qi back. Zhang Chu, who had a lot of grievances with Xuan Qi, jumped out and expressed his willingness to go to ask for guilt on behalf of the king, and made a military order on the spot, willing to ask Li Xing and Xuan Qi to come out of the mountain with his life.

Under the arrangement of Li Cheng, the king of Fujian, Zhang, who was already dying, took a sea boat to Liuqiu. Zhang Chu, who had never been on a sea boat, was already vomiting and diarrhea during the boat, and his whole body was weak, and he still insisted on walking to see Li Xing and Xuanqi when he arrived in Tamsui City. Li Xing has followed Li Hu and the Xiongnu for many years since he was a child, and it is incumbent on him to be in this national disaster. And the premise of all this is that it is necessary to convince Xuan Qi that Li Xing is unwilling to let his nephew have any difficulties, and he also knows that Xuan Qi is unwilling to go to this troubled water again.

Although Xuan Qi was extremely reluctant in his heart, he couldn't bear to see Li Xing so anxious every day. Looking at Li Xing, who didn't say anything in his mouth, but his eyes were already full of eagerness, Xuan Qi couldn't help but sigh.
