A group of cavalry looked warily at the official road behind them. A cavalryman dismounted, leaned sideways and put his ear to the ground, listening carefully.

After a long time, the cavalryman straightened his back, shook his head and said: "There are no pursuers."

"We have an army of more than 100,000 people. How dare Yang Ni ride in lightly?"

The captain squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "Leave some people to keep an eye on it and report immediately if you find anything. The rest of you will wait and follow me back."

"Take orders."

The captain and his men galloped all the way and caught up with the Chinese army when the sun was about to set.

"I'd like to see the general."

The captain was led into the middle of the camp.

The big tent was still in Anza, and Dou Zhong was walking alone beside it, looking calm.

"General."

The captain salutes.

"How?" Dou Zhong asked.

The captain said: "The Northern Xinjiang Army's cavalry pursued for more than twenty miles and then withdrew. I asked you to stay. If you find anything wrong, you can come and report it quickly."

"good."

It was just a faint word, but it made the captain excited.

Wei Zhong was on the other side, looking alone.

I only have my staff around me.

"Someone is coming." The staff member whispered.

More than a hundred cavalry came escorting a chamberlain.

The chamberlain dismounted. Dou Zhong knew that these people failed more than succeeded, so he was very polite.

The chamberlain said: "Shi Ni's rebels are constantly approaching Guanzhong. Your Majesty ordered the general to lead the army to rush back to Guanzhong through starry night."

alright.

This time it stopped.

Since the army withdrew from Xingzhou, the army has been marching slowly. Someone asked Dou Zhong for instructions, but Dou Zhizi ignored him.

He is the emperor's confidant. If he is not in a hurry, who is?

Wei Zhong didn't care about anything at all. He leisurely enjoyed the scenery along the way every day, which was quite pleasant.

"It's a pity that Linger is not here."

The old father has been away from home for a long time, and it is inevitable that he misses his family, especially Wei Ling'er.

The staff member smiled and said: "I think the young lady is also missing the general."

"No." Wei Zhong said with a smile: "When I'm not at home, she becomes an unruly demon king. Her mother wrote a letter last time, saying that Ling'er led someone to play polo and the other party cheated. That's all.

Anyway, it’s not a gamble. But she was lucky enough to lead someone to beat him up."

The staff member smiled and said, "You are so handsome, young lady!"

Wei Zhong said softly: "On the one hand, Chang'an mobilized troops from the south to the north to intercept the Northern Xinjiang army. On the other hand, we made us wait for the starry night to rush back to Chang'an. The details here are endlessly memorable!"

The staff member said: "That person probably wants to completely abandon the South."

"But if he abandons the south, he won't worry about Guanzhong being captured by the rebels?"

…

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the pass is very dangerous, and every pass is guarded by elites. Not to mention the rebels, even Yang Ni's Northern Xinjiang Army has no choice but to face such a fortified city."

The emperor looked at Liang Jing noncommittally.

Is this dissatisfaction?

"Someone in Chang'an recently said that as long as we capture you, the rebels will retreat."

The emperor looked at the music score, and from time to time he would wave his hands to follow the rhythm, as if he was concentrating on it.

But after all, Liang Jing was the leader of the evil young men back then, and he was well-informed. One look at the emperor's appearance and he knew that he was cheating on the eagle.

It is said that there are falconers in Northern Xinjiang... When Liang Jing and Li Xuan were still on good terms, Li Xuan would tell him about the customs and customs of Northern Xinjiang when he returned to Chang'an.

Among them, Liang Jing was the most curious.

——The eagle is aloof and aloof. After being captured, it is thrown into a cage. Once the eagle wants to sleep, poke it with a stick to wake it up.

Just suffer like this, one day, two days, three days... When there is more obedience in the eagle's eyes, the time has come. At this time, give it lamb meat, and when the eagle eats it, it is initially trained.

What follows is a competition of wills, until the eagle's arrogance dissipates and it realizes that it is no longer the predator dominating the sky, but has become a human hunter.

A very troublesome procedure.

Liang Jing knelt down without hesitation and howled: "Your Majesty! I saw that Shi Zhongtang was unjust at the beginning, and now he has indeed rebelled. My crime is unpardonable, and I am willing to lead my army out of Guanzhong to fight Shi Ni.

"

If you are willing, I dare to go.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Have you ever used soldiers?"

Used farts!

"We have never." Liang Jing said honestly: "But if I am loyal, I will have to stay away from traitors."

This is a bit of a magic trick.

"I heard that Mr. Dou said that Dou Zhong should be able to defeat Yang Ni?"

The emperor teleported a topic.

To this day, he still calls Li Xuan Yang Ni and swears to his death that he will not recognize him as a son who respects the emperor.

Do you want a decisive battle?

The decisive battle between Dou Zhong and Zitai made me feel a little flustered.

If he wins, I will become a street rat. If he loses, Shi Zhongtang will become even more proud, and Amei and I will die.

Liang Jing said: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether this is true or false."

"So, what do you think we should do?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I would like to supervise the army."

Liang Jing didn't know the emperor's thoughts, so he played a clever trick.

Brother is willing to go to war with Yang Ni, what do you think?

This loyalty is unquestionable.

Liang Jing knew very well that the emperor never cared about the country, but control.

The emperor said noncommittally: "Dou Zhong is very loyal. Please go to the Dou family on my behalf to appease me. Send a message..."

Liang Jing stood with his hands tied.

The emperor put down the music score, and his thin and fair face became more calm and gentle, "Guanzhong is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty."

"yes."

Liang Jing went to see the imperial concubine later.

"This lamb is delicious, don't overcook it."

"I don't like the toughness of chicken, so I'll change it to beef!"

"Mother, you are stuffing your teeth with beef!" the maid advised, "otherwise, you should eat goose meat!"

Just as the imperial concubine was about to nod, someone outside said, "Someone is coming."

Whoosh!

In an instant, the maids moved all the food on the table away.

"It's Prime Minister Liang."

"Take it back." The imperial concubine smiled.

Liang Jing came in and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, "Mei, Your Majesty just said that if you can hand me over in exchange for Shi Ni's withdrawal..."

"I'm scaring you." The imperial concubine smiled.

"You don't understand." Liang Jing looked solemn, "Shi Ni is unstoppable in the south and has already defeated Qianzhou. Once Yuezhou is lost, Shi Ni will face Jianzhou. Jianzhou, A-mei..."

Liang Jing lowered his voice and looked anxious, "As soon as the state is established, Guanzhong will face Shi Ni!"

"In the north, it is reported that the Northern Xinjiang Army has entered Xingzhou." The imperial concubine said: "One from the south and one from the north are heading towards Guanzhong."

"Zitai...Yang Ni." Faced with Amei's gaze, Liang Jing changed his mind decisively, "Yang Ni said he was going south to put down the rebellion, so why are you so anxious? The biggest problem at his heart is Shi Ni."

"Hey!" The imperial concubine looked at her brother and said with some sadness: "This is the world. Yang Ni is sitting in the north and is like the same country. He talks about going south to suppress the rebellion, but in fact he definitely wants to attack Guanzhong."
