The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall.
What's more, it's the emperor who is so high above. It's not that the emperor cannot die, but the emperor should die in the same way as the emperor. At least it should be a white silk ribbon, leaving a whole corpse.
But Li Letian chose to commit suicide and died without dignity. This was the punishment he gave himself, using his own blood to leave the last dignity for the Li family.
The Li family has produced unarmed founding emperors, Ming emperors who were beaten by the Rong tribe and escaped from Chang'an City, and emperors who surrendered to the Rong tribe, but after all, there is no coward who is afraid of death.
Li Letian's death meant that he had withdrawn from the gambling game of troubled times. He was the nominal master of the empire, but no one expected that he would be eliminated so early.
No one would have thought that a young man from the grasslands would walk into Chang'an City and replace Li Letian.
The direction of this troubled world is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
"Judging from Nohara Huo's action style..." Li Xingzai paused and said, "He won't let us wait too long. When the situation in Jingzhou stabilizes, he will immediately march to the Central Plains, and then Jiangnan."
Cheng Dalei nodded and agreed with Li Xingzai's judgment: "Ye Yuan Huo... I don't know where it came from, but his acting style is just like his name, a wild fire that starts a prairie fire. He doesn't want to possess, he only wants to destroy. But I don't know
Does he know that when all the fuel is burned, the flame is extinguished?"
"Chang'an City is a good place, but it is not a huge cage. With 300,000 soldiers occupying Chang'an City, there is no way Chang'an City will trap them in it."
Following Cheng Dalei's words, Li Xingzai's originally depressed heart gradually regained its vitality. He was not someone who would be easily defeated, but this time Chang'an City was occupied by the Rong tribe, the blow to him was really fatal.
The era of the Li family is over.
"Don't worry, the world is still undecided, and the princes will not sit still and wait for death. No one can say what the name of this country will be in the future." Cheng Dalei looked into the distance.
Hearing this, Li Xingzai was distracted for a moment. Cheng Dalei's words had revealed that he had the ambition to conquer the world. Cheng Dalei was based in the remote Liangzhou, but he had managed to make things prosperous over the years. Now he has strong soldiers and horses, and
Even the Rong tribe did not dare to attack Liangzhou when they went south this time, which shows their fear of them.
Even the Rong tribe is afraid of an enemy, so how can they be underestimated.
If he were to compete with him for the world in the future, it would probably be even more difficult than the Rong clan.
I secretly looked at Cheng Dalei and saw that he was looking at Chang'an City from a distance with his head held high, as if there were flames burning in his eyes.
"Only by working hard and working step by step can you become excellent. Only by working hard for ten years and working hard can you become the best. It may not take a few decades to produce a peerless master before he can be proud of the world. A hundred years may not leave a legend. But those who can become
There are only a few mythical people in thousands of years. Li Xingzai, today's empire is in a troubled world, and the people are in dire straits, but heroes emerge in large numbers. In such a world, neither you nor I will be lonely."
Cheng Dalei swallowed a sip of wine and handed the wine bag to Li Xingzai.
Li Xingzai was stunned, and the ambition in his heart was ignited. He took the wine bag and drank the remaining wine in one gulp.
"Yes, you and I are not lonely. I'm going back to Donghai to regroup. I may not be able to earn back the loss of face by the Li family."
"I have to leave too. There are still many things to do in Liangzhou."
The two parties separated at the top of the mountain, each mounted their mounts, and after walking together for a while, they went in two different directions.
After riding the horse for a while, Li Xingzai looked back. Cheng Dalei did not look back, and his figure slowly disappeared into the forest.
"Cheng Dalei, I look forward to meeting you in the future. Whether as a rival or a friend, you are competent enough."
…
The two sides parted ways and returned to their respective base camps.
Cheng Dalei had already ordered his team to break camp before leaving. The troops brought by Qin Man and Zhao Zilong had ordered them to camp where they were, and everyone would rush back to Liangzhou together.
Qin Man and Zhao Zilong both felt it was a pity that they brought people here this time but did not come into contact with the Rong clan.
"Master, do you want the Rong people to fight a war? They have worked so hard to come this far. If we don't fight, it won't be a joke." Qin Man.
Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "In the future, everyone in the world may not belong to the Rong tribe. You are still afraid that there will be no chance of fighting. As for now..."
Cheng Dalei paused for a moment, but did not say the next words: Now he is really no match for the 300,000 Rong army.
Several soldiers and horses gathered together. Cheng Dalei's current number of troops was about 20,000. The army gathered together and embarked on the journey back to Liangzhou.
Up to now, there is not much food and grass left in the army. Fortunately, the number of troops led by Cheng Dalei is still not too many. With only 20,000 troops, the food and grass problem is always easy to solve. If it doesn't work, everyone tightens their belts.
We can also make it to Liangzhou.
Along the way, he opened roads through mountains and built bridges when encountering water. Cheng Dalei accelerated his march. Along the way, he could also see that the Rong tribe began to expand their sphere of influence and attack other cities in Jingzhou. Some cities descended upon hearing the wind and opened their city gates to welcome the Rong tribe into the city.
.
In this way, the Rong tribe would not be able to plunder the city.
There were also cities that were defended by lone troops, and they persisted for a while. But even the city of Chang'an was captured by the Rong tribe, let alone a mere small town. In the end, the city was still destroyed and people died. After the Rong tribe captured the city, there was another bloody massacre of the city.
crime.
Cheng Dalei tried his best to avoid contact with these Rong people. It was important to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible. There was not much food and grass left for the army.
"Master, master..." Bai Yuanfei galloped to Cheng Dalei's side and said: "There is a group of Rong people behind us. It is roughly estimated that there are five to six thousand people, and they are coming for us."
Of course, Ye Yuanhuo was not willing to let Cheng Dalei go easily. After he stabilized the situation in Chang'an City, the first thing he did was to send elite troops to pursue Cheng Dalei's team.
If Cheng Dalei could be kept in Jingzhou and prevented from returning to Liangzhou alive, it would really be a heartache for Ye Yuanhuo.
Cheng Dalei frowned, and suddenly a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Well done, if you don't deal with them, you really think the empire is empty."
"Zhao Zilong obeys the order."
"My subordinate is here."
Zhao Zilong was in high spirits. He had long wanted to try his skills with the Rong people, but he never had the chance. But he didn't expect that they would come to him on their own.
"Order your troops to stop the soldiers who are chasing us. We don't want these people to go back alive."
"It's an order."
Zhao Zilong shouted, immediately ordered the Longzi Army under his command, separated from the larger army, went in the opposite direction, and counterattacked towards the pursuing soldiers.
The remaining troops, led by Cheng Dalei, continued on their way.
