After absorbing He Panren's troops, Li Hongyu's army had nearly 60,000 people. Before Li Yuan entered the pass, it was no longer a vain dream to defeat all the checkpoints in the pass.
Li Hongyu's confidant Chen Yingying silently thought about the scene a few months ago when Li Hongyu's husband Chai Shao left his wife and hurried to Jinyang City - the woods outside the city had turned new green, the sky was blue and clear, and the wind was warm.
In such a season full of hope, Li Yuan received news from Jinyang City that he was about to launch an army.
That must have been the most difficult moment in the lives of Li Hongyu and Chai Shao. As long as Li Yuan raised the flag of the army, the two of them would become traitors in an instant and face endless pursuit. That night, Chai Shao suddenly crawled
He got up and said that he dreamed that his bloody head was cut off and hung on the top of the city wall. Under the city wall, two generals of the Sui army held their heads high to attack the enemy, aiming at his head to see whose crosshair was better. Finally,
One shot Chai Shao in the eye, and the other shot Chai Shao in the mouth.
At that time, no one could have imagined that a few months later, Li Hongyu, who was abandoned by her husband and left alone in Guanzhong, would enter such a world.
The only fly in the ointment was that Chen Yingying smelled an unusual aura between Li Hongyu and the awakened disciple Wu Ma who had come all the way from Jinyang City.
This breath is so hidden that no one except Chen Yingying, who has lived with Li Hongyu since she was a child, can detect it. It is the soft warmth of the spring breeze blowing through the newly awakened wilderness. The buds begin to turn green from the ground, but from above the wilderness
Looking down, I can't see any greenery.
Chen Yingying instinctively opposed this hidden aura. Because there was an extremely weak but undoubted smell of love hidden in this aura. She couldn't understand how two men and women who had never met before could meet in such a short period of time.
Time had brewed such a terrible thing, but she was very sure of two things. First, no man in the world was worthy of Li Hongyu. Second, Li Hongyu, who had experienced the betrayal of her first husband, should never lose her again.
into the same pit.
After Chen Yingying frankly told Li Hongyu her thoughts and Li Hongyu expressed disapproval, Chen Yingying decided not to give up. From now on, she would never leave Li Hongyu's side unless she passed away.
This made Li Hongyu feel that things became more challenging and interesting. Every night when she made up her mind to sneak into the horse dancing tent, not even the Jade Emperor could stop her will, but Chen Yingying would be distracted by her various tricks.
Playing pranks around, the final result is often that she returns from the dancing horse satisfied, and Chen Yingying becomes angry and swears that she will never give her any chance to leave his sight. Such games and results, repeated over and over, finally become
Constant cycle.
Wu Ma, who was forced to be involved in this hide-and-seek game, also fully realized the joy of the game, but what he still didn't understand was what this noble, bright, and unparalleled goddess in Guanzhong saw in him. During the days they spent together,
, even he himself very sincerely realized that he was not worthy of Li Hongyu in any aspect. Especially Li Hongyu's sincerity and openness in treating himself, Wu Ma was once ashamed of himself and did not dare to welcome the arrival of the restless night.
Wu Ma also asked Li Hongyu directly, but the other party's answer was: time will give you the answer.
The only thing Wu Ma can be sure of is that during the short and pleasant days together, he was attracted to Li Hongyu bit by bit. This attraction is definitely not due to the other person's unparalleled appearance, or it is not just because of that.
The appearance is more of an indescribable feeling, as if a giant ship destined to sail on a long voyage passes through a huge whirlpool in the middle of the ocean. The whirlpool is magnificent, mysterious and unpredictable, and it only exudes a strong attraction to the ship.
As for the ship, he knew that if he got involved in the whirlpool, he would drift further away from his goal, but he was still involuntarily drawn in.
Wu Ma decided to temporarily stop his calm pace and stop to see what would happen in this whirlpool. He wanted to know the final result.
Such a state made Qingxia's ghost, who had been watching the battle calmly, couldn't help but complain. On a quiet and hot night, after Li Hongyu whined almost convulsively, the dancing horse caressed her back, calming her mood.
Qingxia, on the other hand, waited for the opportunity to come over and whispered in his ear: "If you were even a little bit gentle towards me, she wouldn't be the one you called just now."
The dancing horse was still stunned, but Li Hongyu suddenly asked with some confusion: "Who is talking?"
Dancing Horse hesitated for a moment and replied: "A lost soul."
In the tent, the sigh of Qingxia's ghost sounded. Li Hongyu turned over and fell asleep, and suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night. From that day on, she did not set foot in the dancing horse's tent for what she thought was a long time.
…
In Li Hongyu's battle plan, there was no rush to annihilate the pass. The most important thing at the moment was to find a brand new meteorite fragment, so that after Li Yuan entered the pass, Li Zhiyun would once again become a dense cloud hanging over the head of the dancing horse.
As one of her admirers, He Panren brought her good news - in the mountains of Huxian County not far away, Li Hongyu's uncle Li Shentong had developed a team of more than 10,000 people, and he had a piece of gold in his hand that had not yet been
The meteorite fragments used. Li Hongyu rushed to Li Shentong's camp as soon as he heard the news.
Li Hongyu had visited this uncle who had been his neighbor for some time when he was a child. Li Shentong's amiable smile with a beard on his face left a good impression on Li Hongyu. During the fast-paced trip, Li Hongyu had already conceived the idea.
A win-win cooperation plan was prepared - after all, it was to cooperate with Li Yuan's army. It was better to unite the armies of both sides in one place, with Li Shentong as the commander-in-chief, Li Hongyu, and He Panren as deputy generals. And her only extravagant wish was to use meteorites
The awakening tower summoned by the fragments will be led by Dancing Horse.
Wu Ma firmly believes that Li Hongyu does not need to compromise because of him. Chen Yingying is rarely in the same trench with him. He Panren welcomes him with both hands - for He Panren, although there is admiration for Li Hongyu, the reality is
In the game of power, women are inherently at a disadvantage. It is difficult to say what kind of political treatment Li Yuan will give Li Hongyu after entering the customs. It is more likely that she will be placed in the purdah that she should stick to.
Li Shentong is completely different. As an important force in pacifying Guanzhong, he will continue to hold high the banner and become unique in the Li Yuan regime in the near future. No one can ignore it.
When Li Hongyu saw Li Shentong again after many years, his black beard had turned gray and his amiable smile was gone. Instead, he looked at Li Hongyu with a wary look. Although this uncle of the Li family had recruited
He has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he firmly embraces the idea of securing the situation in one place. What he longs for more is that after Li Yuan conquers Guanzhong, he will carry the meteorite fragments, lead an army of 10,000 people, and plunge into a more powerful and solid battle.
Team.
He was wary of Li Hongyu's troops that were several times his own, and even more wary of her attempts to seize the meteorite fragments, so he flatly rejected the cooperation plan and did not even prepare a reception dinner.
Such a result does not surprise Wu Ma. According to the normal trajectory of history, this unworthy uncle of the Li family fought two world-famous stinky battles not long after, and in these two defeats, our own side
They all had an overwhelming advantage. Even once, when the generals who were attacking the city had already occupied the enemy's city wall, the uncle of the Li clan paid gold to withdraw his troops because the general who climbed the city wall was not his direct lineage, leaving the heroic soldiers to die.
stuck on an embarrassing wall, which led to the failure of the entire battle.
So, Li Hongyu had no choice but to do the next best thing - on a dark night when she couldn't see her fingers, Dancing Horse sneaked into Li Shentong's camp and stole the meteorite fragments effortlessly.
The next day, when Li Shentong came to Li Hongyu's camp in a rage, he was stunned to see that the outer wall was as red as fire, and the ruby tower that seemed to be burning all the time stood in the distance.
