"What? Are you saying that Hongnong has been defeated by that little emperor?" Li Shi stood up and looked at Wang Fang under the tent.

"Major General, the general has no choice! The imperial army is too strong! Those heavenly soldiers are too fierce and fearless. The general has only 20,000 remaining soldiers in his hands, and they can't defend them at all!" Wang Fang said with tears in his eyes.

"Hongnong has been lost, so why is Chang'an in danger?" Li Shi said in a daze.

When Wang Fang heard Li Shi's words, a sneer appeared quietly on his face.

"Even if Hongnong is not lost, you, a useless person, still want to fight with the emperor? It's simply a delusion!"

Wang Fang appeared in Chang'an, which was actually agreed upon before.

In Hongnong, after Wang Fang participated in that grand acting, he led his soldiers to Chang'an.

When passing Hangu Pass and Tongguan, they each left five thousand ambush troops and led the remaining ten thousand people to Chang'an.

And he was the first to consider the reason why he had appeared in Li's camp.

First of all, Li Shi was the weakest in the four-way war, but the most legal and rational.

Li Shi is Li Jue's only son. Logically speaking, if Li Jue dies, Li Shi should be in power. What is this called? This is called inheriting the father's business.

However, Li Jue's two nephews and nephews didn't think so. The three of them believed that the reason why Li Jue had such a large territory was inseparable from the contributions of the three of them.

After all, the three of them followed Li Jue to the battlefield to kill people since they were young, and they relied on military merit to get to this position. Li Shi relied on his father to call Li Jue.

It's better not to be on the same level.

Therefore, Li Xian, Li Li and Hu Feng looked down on Li Shi at all, but Li Shi was definitely the three of them. They were all traitors and wanted to steal their families.

So, several groups of people performed all martial arts under Chang'an City every day, but Li Shi was probably the one who was beaten.

Now Wang Fang brings more than 10,000 old soldiers to surrender. Li Shi was very happy at first. After all, although Wang Fang is the old, weak, sick and disabled, he has all been on the battlefield!

Why can Li Xian and the others beat him? Isn’t it because they have too many old soldiers?

Now, Li Shi also has an old man in his hand, which is considered to be an indirect level of several squares.

But the problem is, Wang Fang will come, but he will bring back a huge bad news. Hongnong is lost and the emperor calls him!

If anyone who has been beaten by someone for a long time and is the one he dislikes the most, it must be Liu Xie.

In Li Shi's view, Liu Xie was just born in the Tian family. He was good at comparing himself in terms of character, literature and martial arts?

What is this called? This is called contempt, one link after another.

However, Li Shi was a little panicked now because he was no longer the prince of the Xiliang Army, and his soldiers were only 450,000.

Oh, no, now, including Wang Fang, there are already 60,000 people.

In contrast, Li Xian and the others did not have 670,000 people.

Fortunately, Li Shi now has 60,000 people in his hands, and he has much more confidence. If he is given some time, he will be confident that he can defeat Li Xian and the others.

But can the emperor in Luoyang City give him some more time? Now Hongnong has lost, and only Hangu Pass and Tong Pass are left behind.

If these two levels were lost, then Li Shi would guarantee that he would see the emperor's army outside Chang'an City early the next morning.

Time is endless!

As if he saw Li Shi's troubles, Wang Fang said directly: "Major General Wuyou! The last general thought that it would not be so easy for the dog emperor to attack Yongzhou!"

"I'm sorry, my great emperor, I didn't mean to scold you!" Wang Fang said, and added directly to his heart.

"What does it mean?" When Li Shi heard Wang Fang's words, she felt like she had caught a life-saving straw.

"Major General, the last general heard that the Dog Emperor attacked Hongnong this time, actually went for Wancheng." Wang Fang lowered his voice and said in a voice that only he and Li Shi could hear.

"Wancheng? Zhang Xiu?" Li Shi was obviously stunned when she heard Wang Fang's words.

At this time, the news that the emperor was promoted to General Annan had already spread to Chang'an. Therefore, Li Shi didn't understand at all, what the emperor was doing in Wancheng now.

"I don't know about this general. But on the way to Chang'an, Mo General was worried that the imperial army would follow and attack Hangu Pass, so he sent someone to inquire, and found that the imperial army did not pursue it at all and went directly to Wu Pass."

"When Wu Pass goes south, isn't it Wancheng?"

Li Shi was obviously relieved when she heard Wang Fang say this.

If it was really as Wang Fang said that the imperial army was heading towards Wancheng, then at least Chang'an would be safe.

As for whether Zhang Xiu will live or die by then, what does this have to do with him, Li Shi?

Since his father died, even if Zhang Xiu completely cut off contact with Chang'an, it is obvious that he wants to be independent.

Since Zhang Xiu is planning to become independent, why are you still worried about this?

But then again, since the imperial army has gone to Wancheng, then I have enough time to settle the score with Li Xian and the others?

Thinking of this, Li Shi looked at Wang Fang.

"Wang Fang, you have seen your loyalty. Don't worry, after defeating Li Xian and the dog thieves, I will immediately submit to the court and confer your title as General of the Polu!"

"Thank you lord!" Wang Fang said very well, thanking Li Shi for his promotion.

But I don't think so anymore.

"Good guy, I'll bring someone to save you and Shuihuo. After that, you'll give me a miscellaneous number to defeat the enemy? He's the emperor, and he's generous, so he'll start with General Anxi!"

"Hahaha! My family doesn't speak two people!" Li Shi laughed out loud.

"By the way, what do you think we should do next?" Li Shi looked at Wang Fang and asked.

"Lord, I finally think that we should draw some of the army from Tongguan and Hanguguan back, and order the army to destroy the whole family first!" Wang Fang directly gave Li Shi a bad idea.

At this time, the Xiliang army stationed in Tongguan and Hanguguan were all neutral.

Strictly speaking, these soldiers stationed at the checkpoints may really be more inclined to Li Shi.

However, the situation was unclear before, and Li Shi did not dare to use these people at all.

The army he had in his hands, except for 10,000 or 20,000 old soldiers, was the rest of them recruited new recruits who had been recruiting less than a month.

Well... all the recruits were praised, and these people were purely people who had just put down their farm tools.

Not only Li Shi, but also Li Xian, Li Li and Hu Feng.

Otherwise, these four families alone would have more than 200,000 Xiliang soldiers, which is not counting as the soldiers of Tongguan and Hanguguan, which would have been almost 300,000.

If we arrived, the current Xiliang army would have 300,000, which would not count as the 150,000 army that was annihilated in Luoyang.

A small Li Jue and Guo Si have an army of more than 400,000, which is simply impossible!

Therefore, the Xiliang Army now looks very powerful, with 300,000 troops, but in fact, those who can go to the battlefield include Hangu and Tongguan, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the rest are new recruits.
