The right side of Guanzhou City is built against a mountain. The mountain wall is steep and difficult for monkeys to climb.
Occasionally, when the clouds fall over the mountain, it looks like a fairyland.
"Damn it, those sluts always like this kind of scenery and say it's like a fairyland, let them try it."
A sergeant shuddered and stamped his feet. An old soldier said: "Avoid the mountain wall, be careful of Old Han's legs."
The so-called fairyland is formed by the transpiration of water vapor. When water vapor meets people, they are like a tortoise and a pair of mung beans, and they look at each other. When they pounce, they are rheumatism.
The old soldier was wielding his spear. Seeing that the young soldiers were disapproving, he said, "When I was young, I thought I could poke a hole in the sky. But later I found out that these are all natural."
The sergeants laughed strangely.
"At that time, I thought that I would never get sick in my life and would always stay strong. After I turned thirty-one, all kinds of problems came to my door. Later, I reflected carefully and realized that those problems were all left over from the indulgence of my youth."
The old pawn said meaningfully: "The proud scenery at this time needs to be repaid in old age. That's why the elders say that being ordinary is a blessing."
No one cared what he said. Several young sergeants leaned against the mountain wall and said something like "It's really cool" and "I'll apply to be on duty here in the summer."
"The envoy is here."
Someone shouted, and everyone ran to their seats and stood up.
As soon as they stood up, Sun Jue, the governor of Guanzhou, came up to the top of the city.
Guard Lin Ou accompanied them, and they walked up to the top of the city and looked into the distance.
"After Yang Ni captured Zhongzhou, the repairs took a long time." Sun Jue said while pressing the battlements.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army destroyed the Northern Liao Dynasty, and then fought against the Shegu people. They won successive battles. They looked majestic, but the soldiers were exhausted and needed to be repaired. But Shi Ni rebelled, and Yang Ni couldn't sit still. He didn't wait for the soldiers
After the repairs are completed, he will forcefully send out troops. The front is strong, but the follow-up will appear to be insufficient. At this time, he must let his subordinates repair, otherwise it will be like..."
Lin Ou took out his longbow, stretched it to the full string.
"Just like this bow string, it cannot be filled all the time, otherwise the string will break or the hand will be injured."
He can still talk easily even after playing the string to full length, which shows that he has good cultivation.
Sun Jue was quite satisfied with this metaphor, "Shi Ni's side is unstoppable, but Chang'an dispatched troops from the south to watch the state. I don't understand, are you giving up the south?"
Lin Ou handed the longbow to his entourage, stretched his wrist, and said, "This happened before Chang'an's army returned. Chang'an's troops were empty and unable to support the south."
——Exactly what you think, Chang'an is really giving up on the south.
"Those soldiers, those people, those territories!"
The deep sadness between Sun Jue's brows could not be overcome, "What is your Majesty thinking about?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Lin Ou's eyes, "What can your Majesty think? It's nothing more than deliberately abandoning the south and causing Shi Ni and Yang Ni to fight so that he can just sit back and watch the tigers fight and take advantage."
"Then why are we blocking Yang Ni's way south?" an official said angrily.
Lin Ou didn't say anything, but after thinking about it, Sun Jue understood everything.
He said quietly: "He wants to use our hands to wear down the spirit of Northern Xinjiang."
"This is……"
"Is this to help Shi Ni?"
Everyone couldn't believe it.
Sun Jue nodded, "He would rather Shi Ni swept outside Guanzhong than let Yang Ni take advantage."
"Didn't you say that Yang Ni faked his identity? Why is Your Majesty still so worried?"
No one answered this question.
No need to answer either.
The old soldier muttered: "You have a guilty conscience as a thief!"
The sound was not loud, but it was very clear because the city was so quiet.
The old soldier trembled, slapped the corner of his mouth, and knelt down to apologize.
No one blames him.
Being a thief has a guilty conscience.
This word reminds everyone of a public case.
From being filial to the emperor from his downfall to being poisoned, what are the
How many people are taking action secretly?
According to folk rumors, today's father and son are the masterminds.
The common people don't understand any big principles, but they know one thing: if you don't know who did something, then whoever benefits the most from the matter will be the most suspect.
Obviously, those who benefited the most from the fall of Emperor Xiaojing were Li Yuan and his son.
Now, the son who was filial to the emperor has revolted and gone south. Li Mi's various responses make people inevitably think about what happened back then.
Didn't you do anything good back then?
Otherwise, why would he rather lose the country to Shi Ni than try his best to stop Yang Ni from going south to put down the rebellion?
The sound of horse hooves could be heard from the long street behind me.
"Your Majesty, an envoy is here from Chang'an."
The envoys are chamberlains... Compared with the past, the envoys sent by Chang'an recently are almost all chamberlains. In the past, they were mostly civil servants.
The envoy went to the top of the city, and Sun Jue led the civil and military officials to salute.
"Excuse me."
The envoy smiled so brightly that it felt like a spring breeze, "We have been ordered to come to watch the battle. May I ask the envoy Sun where Yang Ni's army is?"
Sun Jue said: "The scouts have been coming and going frequently in the past few days, but Yang Ni has not moved his troops."
The envoy was startled, "Possible attack?"
Yang Ni has an army of 80,000, and you asked me to attack Guanzhou with 20,000 defenders... Lin Ou was furious, "The envoy is just watching the battle."
"shut up!"
Sun Jue stopped Lin Ou and said with a smile: "I've been too nervous these days, I'm rude."
The messenger glanced at Lin Ou, his eyes a little more gloomy, "It's okay. Since Mr. Sun has his own opinion, let's just wait for the good news."
If you are defeated, don't blame me for giving you eye drops at His Majesty's place.
The chamberlain's revenge came extremely quickly and powerfully.
Wild dog!
Lin Ou sneered.
At the top of the city, on one side are the original defenders and on the other side are the soldiers transferred from the south.
The two sides are clearly distinct.
The mist lingered on the mountain and slowly fell down.
Several scribes in the city saw it and couldn't help but praise it.
"What a place!"
…
After taking Zhongzhou, Pei Jian quietly met with Li Xuan and said that the generals in the army were a little tired.
Li Xuan was startled, and then he remembered the battles over the years.
Especially in the past year or two, the Northern Xinjiang Army has hardly stopped.
There were several battles with Beiliao, and then the battle with the Shegu people. Not long after returning to Taoxian County, he went to war again...
Used too harshly!
Li Xuan went to inspect it personally, and asked Zhao Yong and other close confidants for questioning, and learned that the situation was more serious than he had guessed.
The soldiers are fighting with a strong spirit, but there will be a time when this strong spirit will be exhausted.
Many generals led their armies in battles, and at the beginning they were invincible and victorious in every battle. Suddenly, they encountered no powerful enemies, but their subordinates collapsed.
The collapse is inexplicable and makes you want to vomit blood.
This is the consequence of physical and mental exhaustion.
Li Xuandang immediately ordered the entire army to repair.
You can't just rest during repairs, you have to combine work and rest.
Li Xuan set up many awards and ordered each army to hold some competitions.
"good!"
There was wrestling ahead, and cheers could be heard from time to time.
Li Xuan and Ning Yayun stood side by side and watched from a distance.
"An old friend in Chang'an asked someone to send a letter, vaguely mentioning the current situation of the Imperial College."
"Yeah!" Li Xuan didn't ask.
"After Metaphysics moved there, it became a school. Today, the academic atmosphere in Chang'an has become worse and worse. From time to time, students bring female prostitutes in to eat, drink and have fun. The quiet place is filled with smoke and smoke."
Ning Yayun felt a little sad, probably because she thought that Xuanxue had stayed there for many years, but now she could only watch others ruin her and could do nothing.
"Have you ever thought about why the academic style has deteriorated?" Li Xuan asked.
「
Many times, once the country's power declines, many forces will also corrode. This is the case in schools." Ning Yayun shook her head, "In order to pass the imperial examination, you need the help of powerful people to pass the test, rather than selecting people based on their talent and learning. Students will naturally follow the example.
I would think, since studying hard is useless, why not look for connections."
"That's right." Li Xuan never believed that anything would suddenly go bad. "A word, an action, or a decision from a superior person may have unpredictable consequences. That's why it is said that the emperor's golden words are true." qqxsnew
"Many people say this represents the dignity of the emperor." Ning Yayun said sarcastically.
"No, this only means that the emperor needs to be cautious in his words and deeds, be cautious in independence, be open-minded, and be dedicated to serving the public good." Li Xuan said: "Nobleness cannot be eaten as food. People in the world cannot afford to eat, and the noble emperor must also be eaten.
Those mud-legged people were pulled off the dragon bed, beaten up, and thrown into a cell. If the people of the world have enough to eat, even if the emperor scolds his mother every day, the people will still loudly say that he is well scolded."
"People!" Ning Yayun said.
"Yes, the people are the most noble." Li Xuan said: "It is the countless people who lift up the emperor and let him see further. But some emperors feel that they are sitting on the heads of the people, as if they are gods. This
If you wait for an emperor, sooner or later you will be infamy for thousands of years."
"If you can stay sober, I will see an unprecedented prosperous dynasty in the annals of history." Ning Yayun said.
"Do you want to live another hundred years?" Li Xuan teased.
"Why not?" Ning Yayun said calmly: "The Taoism is infinitely mysterious. Maybe I can see A Liang ascend the throne."
"Only you dare to say this." Li Xuan smiled without feeling dissatisfied.
"If an emperor avoids talking about life and death, he is not far from being stupid."
Ning Yayun said: "Then I will not give up my power. I look at my children and grandchildren as if I were enemies. I look at the civil and military officials of the dynasty and feel that they have ulterior motives. I feel like I am a loner."
"Your words have analyzed the emperor's mind too thoroughly." Li Xuan said with a smile: "The common people who are struggling with hunger ignore life and death because they feel that living is suffering. But the meat-eaters wish they could live another five hundred years.
, that is, they are immersed in the enjoyment of power and cannot extricate themselves. This is the case with people. If they are suffering, they want to leave, but if they are happy, they are reluctant to leave. But what if their little life is not so happy? "
Ning Yayun frowned, "You mean to limit the emperor's power?"
…
"To create a prosperous world, only the emperor has supreme power."
Han Ji said to He Lianrong: "Your Highness is so talented. If you can hold supreme power, you will create a prosperous age for the Tang Dynasty that has never been achieved before."
"You crazy person!"
He Lianrong shook his head. "Be careful of setting yourself on fire."
"If you light me on fire and you can clear the way for Your Highness, I will be happy with it." Han Ji said calmly.
"Shh!" He Lianrong pointed outside.
Footsteps approached, and a clerk came in, "A man from Guanzhong came and asked to see His Highness."
The person who came was called Peng Wen, and he looked very handsome.
"I represent some people and come to see His Highness."
"Who are they?" Han Ji asked calmly.
"Some people who hope that the world can be peaceful." Peng Wen slyly said in a roundabout way.
Han Ji stood up and said, "Wait."
He roughly guessed the forces this person represented, but he didn't bother to say it out loud.
Li Xuan and Ning Yayun were wandering around the camp, which was considered leisure.
"Your Highness."
A minor official was ordered to come to invite him. "Mr. Han said that some fat-minded guys in Guanzhong sent a representative to see His Highness."
Brain full of fat...
Li Xuan thought of Haoqiang.
When he saw Peng Wen, the man did not salute, but said loudly: "Your Highness, does he know that Shi Ni has already arrived in Daozhou and his troops are approaching the pass?"
What?
So fast?
Li Xuan felt slightly cold in his heart and glanced at He Lianyan.
He Lianyan shook his head slightly, indicating that Jin Yiwei had not found out the news yet.
Jin Yiwei wants to find out the news
, you have to venture into the fighting area and move forward arduously under the sweep of scouts and rangers. Once discovered, there is life or death.
But those local snakes can easily and accurately find out the latest battle situation.
If Daozhou is defeated, Jianzhou will be the only barrier left in the south of Guanzhong.
Did the false emperor in the pear garden ever hear the instigation of the rhinoceros?
