The New Year's Eve dinner in the third year of the Tang Dynasty was the most populous and lively time for the Li family. It was also the fifth New Year's Eve that Li Luo and Cui Xiuning came to ancient times.

The two still remember the first New Year's Eve and the dilapidated courtyard in Mani Township, Jianghua County. They spent the most difficult and unforgettable time there.

Today's New Year's Eve family banquet included Li Luo, Cui Xiuning, Li Zheng, Li Lu, Li Wei, Yan Duo, Li Yuan, and Yang Hanming. That's not all, Zhen Liangxiu, the general affairs manager of the Tang Duke's Mansion, also attended the New Year's Eve dinner, with a total of nine people.

In order to restore the system of separate meals before the Song Dynasty, the New Year's Eve dinner at the Tang Duke Mansion was also divided. It was only because the three children were too young that the adults carried the meal.

Li Zheng and Yan Duo are closest, and they are in the same case as Yan Duo. Cui Xiuning hugged Li Wei and Li Yuan hugged Li Lu.

The New Year's Eve family dinner in the office is of course rich, and the Taile Office also arranged singing and dancing. The little man Li Zheng looked at the dancing girl who was dancing gracefully without blinking, looking like she was completely selfless.

Yan Duo couldn't help but worry a little, but thinking that the child was still young, he must be just curious, so he felt relieved. Thinking that he also attended the New Year's Eve family banquet under his grandfather Jin Xuanzong back then, Yan Duo was so sad.

It's been more than sixty years.

Yan Duo looked at Li Zheng with pink makeup and jade-like makeup, and Lao Huai was very comforted. He personally peeled a big shrimp and stuffed it into Li Zheng's mouth, "Good grandson, eat it."

"Thank you, Dafu." Li Zheng, who is three years old tomorrow, actually began to be polite. However, although he ate the shrimps peeled by his grandfather, he still stared at the dancer with enthusiasm without looking back.

Cui Xiuning couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw this scene.

This kid...well, he must be curious.

How smart Yan Duo was? When he saw Cui Xiuning's expression, he immediately laughed and said, "Zheng'er had never seen these scenes before, but was just curious. This is a very lucky child, how could he really be interested in these?"

There is a saying that when you are three years old, Yan Duo is worried that Li Zheng will not be favored by Li Luo and Cui Xiuning, which will not be conducive to his position as the prince.

In fact, Yan Duo is really thinking too much. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning are from later generations, so why are they so harsh?

Li Luo couldn't help but smile when he heard Yan Duo's explanation.

"Father, I wish you a toast. I wish you good health and a long life!" Li Luo held a jade cup in his hand and toasted Yan Duo, the Taigong on the first seat.

Yan Duo smiled and said, "I never expect to live a long life for a hundred years. As long as I see Zheng'er reading and practicing calligraphy, I will be satisfied with my father."

Yan Duo is obviously biased. He is very good to Li Zheng, but he is not very concerned about Li Lu and Li Wei.

Yang Hanming also toasted Li Luo, "Hanming respects his brother, I hope his brother will win every battle next year and restore the southeast! Unfortunately, Han will return to Bozhou after next year and cannot raise an army with his brother."

Li Yuan is now pregnant. According to the plan, Yang Hanming will be sent back to Bozhou by the Special Inspection Bureau to regain the position of Xuanwei Envoy of Bozhou. On the one hand, it echoes the Tang army's capture of the southeast, and on the other hand, it is preparing to attack the southwest and change the land and return to the current.

According to information, Yang Hanming's father, Yang Bangxian, had died of illness, and his half-brother Yang Hanying inherited the throne of Duke Kingdom. Yang Hanying was loyal to Kublai Khan, and he took the initiative to shave his hair and wear braids, changing his name to "Saiying Buhua". Kublai Khan named him General of Dragon and Tiger and gave him the Golden Tiger Head Talisman.

Li Luo said, "Although you are the eldest son of the Yang family, you have not returned to the state for a long time. Times have changed, things are man-made, so you should take care of them. If things are inconsistent, don't force them, be sure to protect yourself."

Yang Hanming said with emotion, "Hanming keeps his brother's teachings in mind."

Yan Duo ordered the dancer of the Taile Administration to retreat and said to Li Luo, "The Yuan court still has 600,000 or 700,000 troops in the south, plus the barbarian army and Dali army, no less than one million. The enemy will be strong next year, and we will have few enemies. The Bailian Sect, Zhao Liangqin, and Huang Hua will not last long, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it by then."

Li Luo nodded, "What my father said is very true. So we must gain a foothold before these three companies fail."

Because of New Year's Eve, Yan Duo did not mention any major issues, pointed out the window and smiled, "There is no snow in the east of the sea, and the New Year is a bit of ambition."

Li Luo also smiled and said, "Did my father miss the Central Plains? Next New Year's Eve, we will be able to celebrate the New Year in the Central Plains. By then, there will be snow in winter."

Yan Duo was slightly regretful. He knew that Li Luo mentioned the New Year in the Central Plains, referring to Jiangnan, rather than Jiangbei.

I don’t know how many years I have to wait for the New Year when I return to Jiangbei for the New Year, and maybe I can never wait. In any case, he should be unable to see it.

At this moment, Li Mian, a spy agent on duty at the Special Inspection Bureau, suddenly asked for a visit. At this time, the request for a visit must be important information. According to regulations, all important information must be reported as soon as possible.

"Transfer!" Li Luo put down his wine glass.

Li Mian entered the banquet hall and bowed to report, "Justice, Zhao Liangqin broke Guangzhou. Three days ago, Zhao Liangqin officially ascended the throne in Guangzhou and ordered the execution of Zhideli, the general manager of the Yuan Dynasty Guangzhou Road. The Song army obtained military weapons from the Guangzhou Miscellaneous Bureau, and its strength increased greatly. It was recruiting soldiers and horses. Many former Song officials came to join in."

"Zhao Liangqin sent Lin Guifang, the Shangzhu Kingdom, to fight north, seize Meiling and Shaoguan. He sent Privy Councilor Li De to fight eastward and attack Yingzhou Meizhou."

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning looked at each other and smiled.

Zhao Liangqin, that's OK. It's a lot of noise.

In history, Zhao Liangqin and Lin Guifang rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and restored the Song Dynasty. They only lasted for two months before being suppressed and were unable to leave Nanhai County (Foshan).

But now, Zhao Liangqin and Lin Guifang not only walked out of Nanhai County, but also captured Guangzhou.

This is the paradox that time travelers add to history.

Li Mian also smiled and said, "There is another news. After Huang Hua captured Ganzhou, he claimed to be the King of Wu and was granted the title of officials. He also personally led his troops north to attack Hongdu (Nanchang). Chen Rang has now been named Prime Minister."

King of Wu and Li Luo were stunned. Does Huang Hua still want to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Also, Chen Rang was actually named Prime Minister, is it possible that he would betray the Special Administrative Bureau?

Chen Rang is a spy who had been sent to Huang Hua for a long time and was lurking for two years. When Li Luo suppressed Huang Hua's rebellion before, Chen Rang played a great role. Huang Hua's retreat to the Xianxia Mountains was also the idea that Li Luo instructed Chen Rang to Huang Hua.

Cui Xiuning knew what Li Luo was thinking, and she shook her head slightly, meaning that Chen Rang would not betrayal.

A prime minister named by the King of Grass Head can make an excellent spy turn against him? It is absolutely impossible.

It is difficult for qualified spies to betray them on their own initiative. This is the so-called undercover psychology.

According to theoretical analysis, when a spy is undercover, he has psychological pleasure. It is a unique sense of mission, superiority, mystery, and a strong sense of accomplishment. This process is a pleasure that others cannot experience.

Therefore, there are actually very few spies who take the initiative to rebel. Most of the spies rebel, after their identity is exposed, they are rebelling. Gu Moumou, a famous traitor in later generations, rebelled only after being arrested, and they were still exercising their duties not long before they were arrested.

As long as it is not exposed, most of them will continue to lurk and continue to enjoy the pleasure of strong psychological stimulation.

Of course, Cui Xiuning would not explain to Li Luo in such a way, nor would he be interested.

Then, Cui Xiuning made some arrangements for Li Mian in time based on the new information.

After using up the New Year's Eve family banquet, firecrackers came from outside. Inside and outside the Tang Duke's mansion, fireworks rose everywhere in Luoning City, illuminating the dark night sky, like stars, which was spectacular and dazzling. It was really thousands of households welcoming the Chinese New Year, and fire trees and silver flowers never sleep.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning stood on the platform in the Tang Duke's Mansion, looking at the crowded Luoning City under the lights of thousands of families. Both of them were filled with emotion and joy.

This is the city they created.

After working together for several years, I finally saw a city of my own.

"Luo, is this the last year we spent in Haidong?" Cui Xiuning took Li Luo's hand, "I used to be reluctant to leave Jiang Hua, but now I can't bear to leave Haidong."

It’s still a bit cold in Haidong. Li Luo put the woman’s cold hands in her hands, “Jiang Hua is not home, nor Haidong, not Zhongyuan. I know, you have too deep feelings for Haidong.”

Speaking of his feelings for Haidong, Cui Xiuning is far superior to Li Luo.

Because Li Luo's life in Haidong was only a few months in total, and Cui Xiuning spent much longer in Haidong than him.

"Can you really celebrate the New Year in Nanjing next year?" Cui Xiuning's eyes were a little confused.

Li Luo was silent for a while, looked at the night sky under the fireworks, and slowly said, "To be honest, I don't know either. Maybe we will still pass by Haidong, or maybe we can't even pass by Haidong."

History has changed a lot. Li Luo's use of history has become difficult to sustain.

He did not think he was smarter than Kublai Khan, nor did he even think he was smarter than many ministers of the Yuan Dynasty.

What he could rely on was only tens of thousands of elite soldiers, the intelligence agency of the Special Inspection Bureau, unexpectedly hiding in the dark, and some firearms leading the era.

Apart from that... nothing more.

If we talk about his appeal to the Han people, can he, Li Tang, be as good as the Zhao Song that had just died? And the national consciousness of the Han people at this time cannot be compared with later generations.

Whether it was Zhao Chang before or Zhao Liangqin now, they were all serious Zhao Song royal family, but they still had few people who really supported them.

From the Yuan court that had 700,000 to 800,000 Han troops, from the large number of Han officials who served in the Mongolian Yuan, from the proactive Hu Huan, from the landlords and gentry supporting the Yuan court, it can be seen that it is undoubtedly a naive idea to rely on the support of the Han people to defeat the Mongolian Yuan.

Except for force and intelligence, everything else is unreliable.

In other words, the possibility of Li Luo's failure is still very high.

When Cui Xiuning heard Li Luo's words, she comforted him, "Don't force it, we still have a way out. If we lose, we will retreat to Haidong. If Haidong cannot defend it, we will run to North America. As long as our family is peaceful and safe together, it will be enough."

Li Luo's eyes became firm, "Don't worry, I've been winning all the time, but I've never lost. This time, I will win too! I'll earn you a queen and a prince for my son!"

Choi Soo-ning suddenly laughed, and she was a little weird.

"Police, you're laughing... there's a story." Li Luo knew that she must have thought of something.

Cui Xiuning Divortex appeared, "Do you know why I didn't shoot when I first hunted you?"

That's all?

Li Luo thought for a while, "Because I am handsome? Or... are you afraid of writing a report?"

Cui Xiuning said, "Because when you ran away, you were in a panic, you even gave up an old man. I immediately judged that this person was not a real bad person. So I was soft-hearted and did not shoot. Later I thought, if you had shot at that time, you would definitely be in jail now, and I might have gotten married."

When she mentioned it, Li Luo suddenly remembered it. He ran very quickly at that time, but in order to avoid an old lady, he could only slow down and go around, and almost fell.

"Okay." Li Luo was speechless, "I really don't know what's funny about this. Then do you regret it or regret it? What if I told you, I'm just afraid of striking the car?"

Cui Xiuning gave him a blank look, "I regret telling you this? Are you still afraid of striking a car? It's so interesting... Alas! Look at the fireworks over there! Do you feel like you have in the future?"

The fireworks in Dongcheng are indeed somewhat similar to the fireworks of later generations, colorful.

Li Luo said, "Emperor Yang of Sui looked at fireworks and wrote poems. The lamp tree shone thousands of lights, and the flowers and flames bloomed in seven branches. This poem is very suitable."

Cui Xiuning spat, "Why do you mention this unlucky poem during the New Year? It should be 'The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night, and the stars are blown down, and the stars are like rain'. Good luck!"

Li Luo is a little worthless for Yang Guang. He is obviously a good poem, but because he is a loser, he is actually considered unlucky.

It can be seen that the tragedy of the loser.

Never fail!

If you fail, it is An Lushan, Shi Siming, and even Wu Sangui. Only if you succeed is Zhu Hongwu.
