The road back to Moonbow City was a bit long, but the two of them talked as they walked and didn't care.
Not long after, Wei Guogong and Li Junxian came in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao motioned for the two of them to come forward, exchanged a few words, and signaled Xue Rengui to continue telling the story about the Battle of Yuegong City. Duke Wei Guogong and Li Junxian were also curious about how the battle was fought, and they all listened with their ears pricked up.
Although it was stated in a straightforward manner without any exaggeration, everyone's heart was moved when they heard the important points, and they were moved when they heard the tragic scenes. When they heard about the three-three system to defend the city, they did not destroy the ladders, but wet them with oil.
Lure the enemy, then set fire to them when they can no longer hold on, and make everyone admire you. This is to understand the enemy's psychology to the core.
Even Duke Wei sighed in admiration.
Unconsciously, the sky turned dark, but everyone was still in the desert. Qin Huaidao saw that the dry and loose sand and dust on the ground were the same as the previous few days. The wind did not stop, but showed signs of getting stronger. The temperature began to drop, and he was worried about a sandstorm.
Quickly ask Luo Wu to arrange for someone to notify the army to evacuate as soon as possible, just in case.
Everyone continued on their way under the moonlight.
After Xue Rengui finished telling the details of the battle of Yuegong City, Qin Huaidao asked Duke Wei to explain the specific details of the battle of the grassland. He learned that the grassland had been conquered and had fallen into his hands again. He also learned that Yuegong City was besieged and 50,000 troops were left to guard it.
, brought an army of 100,000 to support, half of the troops were prisoners and the other half were defectors from various grassland tribes.
When it was said that Xue Wanshu rebelled against the imperial court and fought on the grassland, but after the Hanzhou Army arrived, he gave up the grassland unconditionally and provided grain and grass support. After letting Duke Wei express his intention to join the army, Qin Huaidao was a little moved. Sure enough, good people are rewarded.
In the first battle of Goguryeo, Qin Huaidao was extremely loyal to Xue Wanshuren.
No, the harvest is coming!
Once Xue Wanshu comes over, it means that the entire north will be connected, and a large area will fall into his hands, while the Tang Dynasty will only be left with the hinterland of the Central Plains. I wonder what Li Er will think?
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao immediately looked at Li Junxian and asked: "What is the situation in the Tang Dynasty now?"
"Back to the King of Han, the King of Wei killed the king and proclaimed himself emperor, and won over the aristocratic families. Not long after, he sent troops to sneak attack Qinzhou, and then attacked Minzhou. Fortunately, Xu Shiji sent troops in time and defeated the imperial army. Perhaps Xu Shiji was worried about something and did not continue the attack after retaking Qinzhou.
The imperial court did not send any more troops, and the two sides faced off."
"What, the King of Wei committed regicide? His Majesty has passed away?" Duke Wei's face changed drastically and he stared at Li Junxian.
Qin Huaidao also looked at Li Junxian in disbelief.
Li Junxian hurriedly explained: "To be precise, it was the King of Wei's rebellion who stormed into the palace from Xuanwu Gate and forced the Holy One to abdicate. The imperial edict to abdicate has been prepared. How can a strong man like the Holy One submit? He was so angry that he vomited blood.
Before his death, he passed an oral message saying that Zen was located in the King of Han."
"Is Zen located in me?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised.
The others looked at Li Junxian in disbelief.
Li Junxian solemnly said: "It is indeed true. He shouted it out at the gate of Manlu Hall. Many people were present at that time. The Holy One was worried that the oral message would be blocked and could not be passed on, so he specifically added that anyone who delivers the Holy Word orally can seek reward from the King of Han.
Ten thousand gold, those without a title will be made a baron, and those with a title will be promoted to a higher level. Li is not asking for a reward, he is telling the truth."
Of course Qin Huaidao knew that Li Junxian was not taking the opportunity to seek reward, but he still couldn't believe it and thought about it.
"How could this happen?" The Duke of Wei, Li Jing, had a face full of sorrow. Although he hated Li Er for his former coldness and ruthlessness, after all, they had fought together and had a deep relationship with each other.
Still died in the forced palace.
What is even more unacceptable is that he died in the hands of his own son, who also left the Xuanwu Sect.
Is this retribution?
For a time, Li Jing felt heavy and couldn't control himself.
Qin Huaidao thought that the King of Wei would ascend to the throne. After all, Li Er loved him very much. When Li Zhi died, no one was more suitable than Li Tai, but he did not expect that he would go the route of mutiny and force the palace. Isn't this a repeat of Xuanwu Gate?
If Li Taixing does something so ruthless, isn't he afraid of being cast aside by the world?
Or is there something else hidden?
After pondering for a moment and finding no clue, Qin Huaidao put the matter aside for the time being and asked about the situation in Hanzhou.
Li Junxian didn't know much, so he could only answer truthfully what he knew.
Qin Huaidao learned that Hanzhou was safe and sound, and Cheng Yaojin returned to take charge. He felt more at ease. Suddenly he thought of a question. Li Er took the throne before his death because he thought that he would seek Li Tang's kingdom in the future, so he left a trace of his love to protect the royal family.
Doesn't his pulse stop? Or do you hope that you can take him away from Li Tang?
The group walked and chatted, and traveled all night.
At dawn, the group walked out of the desert and found a place leeward to stop and rest.
The guards quickly set up the tent. Qin Huaidao's nerves were too tense during this period. After the Turkic War, he relaxed, ate something and went into the tent to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon. When I walked out of the tent, I saw the generals chatting not far away.
Everyone also saw Qin Huaidao and gathered around him. Xue Wanche said excitedly: "King of Han, my God, a sandstorm broke out just after our army came out of the desert. Thanks to the king of Han, he sent an order to evacuate overnight. Otherwise, we don't know how much the army would have lost. It's incredible."
Well, how did the King of Han know that there would be a sandstorm?"
"Guess." Qin Huaidao responded casually. The sand and dust floated on the surface, the strong wind continued, and the temperature continued to drop. These were all precursors of the sandstorm, but no one could know the specific day when it would come. It was just a matter of preparation. Unexpectedly, he guessed it accurately.
Well, no one has such luck.
"See the King of Han." Li Yixie stepped forward to greet him.
“It’s been a hard journey!”
Li Yixie hurriedly said: "I don't dare. I came here on the order of the three princesses. It's my duty."
This statement was made on the surface that he was not disrespecting orders, not guarding the palace of Hanzhou, and leading troops here privately. After saying this, he took out two family letters, gave one to Xue Rengui, and handed the other to him respectfully.
Qin Huaidao didn't mean to blame him. He took the letter and read it. The handwriting was beautiful and familiar. He'er's figure flashed in his mind. He couldn't help but smile a little more at the corner of his mouth. He said to everyone: "The army will take a rest after dinner."
Keep on your way."
"Follow the order!" Everyone agreed with a roar.
Qin Huaidao got into the tent and opened the envelope. There were three pieces of paper inside, with different handwriting and different signatures. They were written by three women. Qin Huaidao was very excited. He went on an expedition to the battlefield and wrote home worth ten thousand yuan.
The first letter was written by He'er. It was all about trivial matters in the palace of Hanzhou and interesting things about the children, but what was revealed between the lines was full of longing and worry. The image of a beautiful woman who is independent, self-reliant but dependent is vividly displayed on the page, which makes people read.
It warms my heart and I can't stop.
Qin Huaidao read it twice before reluctantly putting it down. He picked up another copy and checked it. It was written by Li Xueyan. It talked about major information that happened in various places. He especially emphasized that Yuchi Baolin led his troops to capture half of the Japanese country, but he didn't know where it came from.
A huge navy joined forces with the Japanese country and had to defeat Jeju Island. What was left was full of deep thoughts. It was not as subtle and hidden as He'er, but warm and direct. Qin Huaidao seemed to have seen a star.
The hot love is beating, and I feel very happy.
The third letter was written by Yu Zhang. The language is beautiful, poetic and picturesque, gentle yet persistent, shy yet eager. In the end, the topic changed, hoping to return to Chang'an to pay homage to his father. It seemed like an inadvertent turn, but
Qin Huaidao could feel Yu Zhang's expectation and urgency.
The three women each have their own merits, but their true feelings for themselves are the same.
This makes Qin Huaidao feel extremely honored. What more can a husband ask for when he has a daughter like this?
Holding three letters is like holding three fiery hearts, wishing I could protect them with all my heart.
My mind is filled with the beautiful images of the three women, constantly changing - it's time to go back!
Li Tai actually dared to attack secretly. There must be an explanation for this matter.
Also, over at Yuchi Baolin, a navy actually appeared and joined forces with the Japanese country. What happened?
