Chapter 736: Li Xiuning's Dilemma
The western gateway of the eastern capital of Luoyang, Hangu Pass. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the Sui army withdrew, the women's army was overjoyed, but they also quickly cleaned up the mess, relying on the large number of people, only a few days, Hangu Pass, which was originally collapsed by most of the corpses, and the blood-stained Xiongguan was largely cleaned up.
Countless corpses were piled up, nearly half burned, and nearly half buried.
Countless sand and soil were sprinkled all over the pass, covering up the blood that had solidified into a cocoon.
Countless boulders, giant trees, etc., were carried into the customs, and the boulders were piled up on the west side, and they were simply piled up into a wall, which was more than ten zhang high and more than 100 meters thick, and the giant trees were used to build simple wooden houses.
In about five days, Hangu Pass has already looked like it, although there is still a long way to go before it is restored to its old appearance, but it can barely see the appearance of the fortress of the level, and there are still countless people busy with it, making the level look the same every day.
Somewhere in the hot pass, Li Xiuning was discussing the repair of the checkpoint and the Sui army with Li Daoxuan, Wu Meng and other generals, and a heroic woman wearing a red sweatshirt and red armor entered to ask for instructions:
"Qi Yu Niangniang, Lotus Mansion Li Gonggong (the owner of the Lotus Building, one of the third floors of the Shadow Mansion), Cetianfu and Wenxiang Hou (Wen Renzhong), ask to see!"
In the bloody battle of Hangu Pass, the Sui and Tang armies and the Xinwuwei who guarded Li Xiuning suffered heavy losses.
However, Li Xiuning also excavated a group of talented women's soldiers to act as Li Xiuning's personal guards. Those who can stand out from the millions of women's army and experience the bloody Hangu War are definitely elite, although they are women, they are no worse than the personal guards of other famous generals.
Although those Red Armor Women's Army didn't say it explicitly, they gradually had the meaning of competing with the Xinwu Dream Team led by Wu Meng, which was one of the few and world-famous female elites, and naturally became the target of the Women's Army to catch up and surpass.
"See Concubine De Niangniang! Congratulations to Concubine De Niangniang for holding the Hangu Pass, winning the agreement to leave the Tang Dynasty, and bringing the women's army to shock the world, and the name is passed down through the ages. ”
As soon as Gonggong Li and Wenren Zhongfu met, they respectfully saluted and congratulated each other with joy on their faces.
Li Xiuning's heart froze, his face was a little stiff, and Li Daoxuan and other Tang generals sighed in their hearts, secretly exclaiming that it was not good.
Gonggong Li is the owner of the Lotus Tower, one of the third floors of the Shadow Mansion, and one of the supreme leaders of the Lotus Shadow Guard, which is growing rapidly.
When the two of them arrived, they didn't need to say anything, let alone any identity certificates, proof of intention, etc., which was not much different from leaving the king in person!
Li Xiuning replied with a stiff expression, Li Daoxuan looked at Li Xiuning and took the initiative to ask:
"I don't know what the two of you have come from afar to come to my pass? Now that Hangu has been hit hard, everything is waiting to be enjoyed, please forgive me for the sin of neglect!"
"General Daoxuan's words are wrong, since the moment the Sui army withdrew, this pass is considered to be leaving the country. Even if there is no result from the Tang agreement, at least it belongs to Concubine De Niangniang, and they are all their own people......"
Hearing that Zhong Junbai was biased towards delicate facial features, he responded with a smile. After a pause, his expression was straight, he looked at Li Xiuning and asked:
"What does Concubine De think?"
"That's ...... so"
Li Xiuning and Li Daoxuan waited for Tang generals, their faces changed slightly, and they secretly exclaimed in their hearts.
"This ......" Li Xiuning hesitated for a while.
"Concubine De, Weichen follows the young master, or the first time I see the young master attaching so much importance and trust to a woman, presumably Concubine De Niangniang will not disappoint the young master, right?"
Li Xiuning hesitated, Wen Renzhong looked directly at Li Xiuning rather rudely, and asked with a pun quite obviously.
"Presumptuous! Dare to ......"
A red-armored women's army, holding the sword at his waist and screaming angrily.
Before he finished speaking, Gonggong Li's body shook, easily grabbed the throat of the Red Armor Lady Army, and lifted it with one hand......
"Bold!"
"Drop the Commander!"
"Sonorous, sonorous, sonorous......"
The sound of coquettishness and the sound of weapons unsheathed rose continuously, and dozens of red-armored women's soldiers present drew their swords one after another, pointing at Gonggong Li.
The afterimage lingered, and the eight afterimages came out of the air, protecting Gonggong Li and Wen Renzhong.
"Stop!"
Li Xiuning was shocked, and hurriedly shouted loudly, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?
Lotus Shadow Guard and the others didn't take weapons, but it was nothing, but Gonggong Li let go and retreated.
Those Red Armor Ladies hesitated and put away their weapons one after another.
Li Xiuning's face was a little ugly and asked, "Master Li, Wenxianghou, are you here to persecute this palace?"
"Niangniang forgives the sin, Weichen didn't do anything, it's just that some people are too unscrupulous and unconsciously regard Weichen and others as enemies!"
Wen Renzhong's identity is special, and no one is afraid, but in the face of the angry Li Xiuning, his face is still as usual, and he said in a leisurely tone.
After a pause, he smiled lightly, and simply asked: "Of course, if Niangniang really thinks so, it is okay! I wonder if Niangniang still recognizes the identity of Concubine De? Which country does this Hanguguan and the Niangzi Army belong to?"
"What do you mean?"
Li Xiuning's pretty face was a little ugly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she couldn't help but ask in a cold voice.
How can the country's gamble be rash?
is not just leaving the country, but the Tang Kingdom, including Li Xiuning, and I don't think that Li Yuan, the king of Tang, will really fulfill the agreement to leave the Tang Dynasty as promised, how should this be answered? !
It is undeniable that without the young master personally intervening, Niangniang would not be able to control Hangu Pass, create the prestige of Hangu, and even more unable to form a women's army so quickly and quickly. Now that the agreement is clear, it is time to fulfill it......"
Wen Renzhong still said calmly as usual, paused, let everyone digest what he said, and continued:
"In the young master's heart, there is only Niangniang, and the most important thing is to see how Niangniang chooses. Whether King Tang fulfilled the contract or not was another matter, and even the young master didn't care at all. Now that our army is on the verge of passing the pass, it can attack the key and destroy the country at any time, and if it does not fulfill the agreement, it is the Tang King who is looking for his own death, and he has nothing to do with others!"
Li Xiuning's face changed, her red lips opened, and she couldn't say anything after all, let alone how to say it.
Li Daoxuan interjected and reminded: "Now that Hangu Pass is dilapidated and is being repaired with all its might, it's too early to say this, right?"
"It's not too early! if it's too late, the Tang Kingdom will be destroyed!"
Wen Renzhong glanced at Li Daoxuan, said with a smile, and continued: "Presumably you also know that the Sui army that bypassed Hangu Pass has already passed through Yique Pass and Pingjin Pass and killed the eastern capital. The soldiers are fast, do you want our army to watch the eastern capital fall into the hands of the Sui army? My king only looks at the meaning of the mother, and it doesn't matter how the Tang king decides, it's just a big deal to fight!"
"Joke! If the Eastern Capital is so easy to capture, is it still called the Eastern Capital?"
Li Daoxuan frowned, and reminded: "The defense of the eastern capital, but more than ten times the size of Hangu Pass, depends on those Sui troops want to conquer it?"
"What do you mean?"
Wen Renzhong didn't bother to pay attention to Li Daoxuan, and looked at Li Xiuning again and asked. After a pause, he continued:
"My king doesn't want to embarrass Niangniang, so he allows Niangniang to remain neutral, and the two don't help each other and wait for the result. However, Hangu Pass can only be controlled by Niangniang, and Tang Jiang will go back to support the dangerous Eastern Capital! There is no need to waste it in Hangu Pass!" )
