On the opposite side, the Ouchi guard was riding fast, running towards the Xiashishan camp.
He also looked at the knight who passed by with the corner of his eye in confusion.
Unexpectedly, there were people like me working hard on this official road this night.
I just don’t know if that guy is one of our own or a spy belonging to one of those aristocratic families.
It's a pity that I have an important responsibility. I have to rush to see His Majesty and deliver the good news to him. If I don't have an important responsibility, I can go back and inquire about it.
As I think about it, the distance between the two messengers who are going in opposite directions has become farther and farther.
The leader of the reconnaissance cavalry who had just discovered the embroidered emissary was still walking around the outskirts of the camp with a group of elite men.
Especially the wide official road, they were always paying attention to it, just as they continued to sneak up on the alert.
There was a sound of galloping hooves, from far to near, and the leader of the scout cavalry immediately perked up and made a gesture to a group of brothers. The group of people immediately galloped onto the official road again, and then raised their heads high.
He grabbed the lamp handle in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Stop the visitor immediately! Identify yourself quickly."
"Who are you?!" Ouchi's guard asked sternly as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked warily at the knight who was almost a stone's throw away.
"We are under the command of General Chai."
Hearing this, the Ouchi guard couldn't help but look happy. He finally encountered a large army and quickly rode forward to meet them.
"General Chai?! You are the one who prepares thousands of cattle before your majesty..."
"...Oh, what a coincidence." The leader of the scout cavalry grinned. What happened tonight? How come there was one person who came less than half an hour ago, and now another one jumped up.
However, such a thing was not something that a small leader like him could inquire about, so he quickly rode on his horse to lead the way, heading towards the camp.

At this time, after inspecting the camp, Chai Shao De, who happened to be passing by, saw His Majesty wandering outside the tent with his thoughts on his mind, so he couldn't help but be curious and stepped forward to greet him.
"I see your Majesty, I see that your Majesty seems to have something on his mind?"
Li Shimin nodded slightly towards Chai Shao and said with some emotion.
"It turned out to be Chai Qing. It's nothing. I just felt a little depressed and couldn't stay in the tent, so I walked around outside."
It happened that I couldn't talk to anyone about my worries. After all, Cheng Sanlang and the others were going to do so many things.
Seeing His Majesty's unwillingness to say anything, Chai Shao nodded knowingly.
"But it's already dark, and the army will march towards Mianchi early tomorrow morning. Your Majesty, you'd better rest early."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of galloping hooves, galloping towards this side from far to near.
Chai Shao and Li Shimin both turned around and looked over, and saw a group of cavalry approaching a dusty knight.
"Deng Yong?!" Li Shimin saw the knight and couldn't help calling out the knight's name in shock.
"I am here to see your Majesty..." Deng Yong galloped to the front, quickly dismounted, saluted Li Shimin, and then saluted General Chai.
Li Shimin glanced at Chai Shao, who looked very confused, and finally winked at Deng Yong, then smiled at Chai Shao.
"Chai Qing, you should go back to your tent and rest early."
"Uh, yes..." Chai Shao walked towards the distance with his head full of fog, but he was as curious as a cat scratching his head.
Li Shimin opened the big tent and walked into the tent. When he saw Deng Yong also entering the tent, he nodded and asked.
"Why are you here? Could it be that something happened again?"
"Your Majesty, the general, Taibao Xiao Cheng and His Highness King Wu have successfully razed the round and square hills to the ground."
"I already know about this, what happens next?" Li Shimin said angrily.
"That's it. Little Taibao Cheng knows that those rebellious ministers and traitors are actually trying to change the rules and intend to continue the enthronement ceremony on an auspicious day."
"So he thought of another way..." As the Ouchi guard spoke, he handed the letter to Li Shimin.
"Besides burning the palace, what else can he do?"
Li Shimin muttered angrily and took the letter.
After hearing His Majesty's complaints, the imperial guard's eyelids jumped wildly, but he still wisely did not utter a word of defense.
Li Shimin opened the letter, glanced at the letter paper perfunctorily, and then his eyes instantly froze on the letter paper. The originally low-pressure expression obviously changed drastically.
"Oh? This kid...he, he is indeed my beloved son-in-law, hahaha..."
In an instant, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty burst out into a burst of hearty laughter inside the tent.
I could hear the guards standing outside the tent looking at each other in confusion. What's going on? Could it be that Cheng Sanlang has caused some hilarious mischief?
Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't help but hurriedly walked through the tent with his hands behind his hands.
I have to say that Cheng Sanlang is still a sinister guy. He rolled his eyes and realized it was a ghost idea.
The important thing is that this plan is definitely much lower than the cost of Liao Palace.
Moreover, it can also allow hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City to witness it with their own eyes, turning the enthronement ceremony staged by those aristocratic families into a huge joke.
#####
This plan is not complicated at all, that is, to attack the Tianjin Bridge, an important transportation thoroughfare across Luoshui River.
Tianjin Bridge is the bridge in front of Luoyang Imperial City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was first built in the Sui Dynasty.
Yu Wenkai perfectly integrated the planning and design of Luoyang City with the mountains and landforms of Luoyang, truly achieving the planning concept of harmony between man and nature.
It decisively changed the traditional Chinese symmetrical urban layout, giving the city a unique charm and connecting all parts of the city with the emperor.
The flowing water of Luoshui is used as a metaphor for the Milky Way of Tianhan in the sky, and the capital is regarded as the "Ziwei Palace", the imperial residence of the Emperor of Heaven.
The largest bridge on the Luoshui River is connected to the south main entrance of the palace city and is called "Tianjin Bridge". Tianjin means the port on the heavenly boundary.
Stop here and set off the ship to the Milky Way: "Drain the Luo River to the capital, use it to look like Tianhan (Yinhe River), cross the bridge to the south (Tianjin Bridge), and lead the cows with the law."
The Luohe River in the Tianjin Bridge area is divided into three branches. Therefore, three bridges were built separately.
The Tianjin Bridge is in the middle, with the Huangdao Bridge to the north and the Xingjin Bridge to the south. The name is based on astronomical terms.
Therefore, "Shuo Zhuo Lin Huang Dao" means that Tianshu stands in the north of Huang Dao Bridge beside the Luo River and shines brightly under the sunlight.
Dingdingmen Street in Luoyang, the royal road connecting the main gate of the palace city and the "Dingdingmen" of the south gate of Guocheng, is also called Tianjie and is 110 meters wide.
"Tianjie" means the Street of the Emperor, corresponding to the "Tianjie" constellation in the sky...
