Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In Feng'an in the northwest, the dilapidated stone tablet from the Sui Dynasty still stands beside the old city. But not far away, a rammed earth wall appeared on the pasture. The wooden structure supporting the building on it had not been dismantled, and many rammers, baskets, and wheelbarrows had not been transported in time. It could be seen that the people who built this place left in a hurry.

A group of people riding horses have different costumes, some with pigtails, some with disheveled hair, and some with bald heads and hats. They slowly approached the abandoned construction site, pointing and watching.

"General Xu Jun has hurried back to fight for power!" A big man with gray hair on his temples shouted.

Li Yiyin! The person who spoke loudly was Li Yiyin, the original leader of the party and various ministries. He did not go north to the Liao Kingdom, but appeared here again.

"Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Gamo people (Liangzhou natives), and Uyghur people can only be united together." Li Yiyin said loudly with rounded eyes. The people of all ethnic groups waited and watched, and even the party members responded coldly... The main thing is that Li Yiyin suffered two major defeats in a row, which has already caused distrust among the tribes.

He pointed out that the earth wall fortress, positive color: "100,000 Xu Jun (known as) has built the castle here, and a large number of Xu Jun activities have also appeared. In the fact, Xu Jun wanted to capture Hexi and the entire northwest of the northwest, and the ministry would be disregarded. It is the last people, Tubo people, and Ganzhou Hui ... "

He found the envoys from the Tubo tribes from the crowd, and said to them: "The Dangxiang tribes in Hexi have nowhere to go, and a large number of tribes have moved south into your territory. If you don't help, the Tangxiang people will have to find water and grass to survive, and they will compete with you for the territory. In the future, it will become an internal struggle among the northwest tribes.

If the Yanmo people and Liugu tribe in Liangzhou remain indifferent at this time, you have also seen that the next goal of Xu Jun is to capture Liangzhou by force! "

Li Yiyin then said to the nearby people in party words: "The Xu people killed my children, cattle and sheep, and took away my pastures. The world is so big, where can my family live and multiply?!" When he said this, his expression and tone were full of solemnity and solemnity, "In today's world, if you don't fight, you will perish! There is no place for us to live. Do we want to be like a bereaved dog and send us under the fence, or march into a wider land to gain greater strength?

Capture Helan Mountain, recover Pingxia, Dabaigao will make a comeback! "

A large group of people around were silent, but they were undoubtedly moved by Li Yiyin's reasoning. The wind is passing by the silent horses, galloping on the vast grassland, the endless northwest land is here, and the wind seems to bring the vigorous past events of countless years...

At this time, a Tubo lama said calmly: "Mr. Li has far-sighted vision and a strategy in mind, but... his martial arts are a little weaker."

Li Yiyin said decisively: "Everyone, support this king one last time!"

After another long silence, someone finally rode forward one after another, promising to go back and help Li Yiyin convince the tribe.

...

Xu Jun has tens of thousands of infantry and has arrived in Luoyang, Xijing. A large flag with the word "Li" fluttering in the wind. On the north bank of the Luohe River, the people and horses on the roads are like long dragons.

However, Luoyang City was tightly closed, and Li Chuyun's army was not allowed to enter the city. He even asked Xu Jun to station on the north bank of the Luohe River, not to cross the river, and only sent officials to contact for food, grass and military supplies. Its officials are clearly guarded against suspicion.

Li Chuyun ordered all the ministries to set up military camps on the north bank of the Luohe River, and it was forbidden to build pontoon bridges on the river. Li Chuyun and others led their horses to drink water on the river bank. He looked at the familiar Central Plains wall and towers on the other side with mixed feelings in his heart.

At dusk, the smoke from cooking inside and outside the city wall was lingering, and a little smoke rose into the air, which looked like beacon smoke from a distance. The Central Plains was still peaceful, but the cold autumn wind and smog added a bit of desolation to the land.

"Li Gong..." Zhongli's voice came from behind. Li Chuyun turned his head and took a look, seeing that he hesitated to speak, it seemed that there was something wrong.

Li Chuyun then raised his hand and waved it, and the nearby soldiers led their horses and went downstream.

Zhong Li stepped forward with a dark face, and said in a low voice: "I met a friend from Hebei earlier, and told me a secret news. The Daming Mansion has successively dispatched troops to the south... It seems that they have entered Beijing at the secret order of Empress Fu."

"King Wei?" Li Chuyun's expression changed, "He is a local feudal lord, why did he bring troops to Beijing? Why didn't I hear anything?"

Zhongli said: "The local soldiers in Hebei stopped their flags and drums, and quietly left the city in batches. It is difficult for people in Tokyo to know for the time being."

Li Chuyun frowned and said, "Is this news true?"

"My friend is also a member of the Zhong family, and we have been friends for many years, so there should be no fakes." Zhong Li said.

Zhongli raised his palm to cover his eyebrows, looked at the Luoyang city gate in the distance, and looked back at his surroundings.

Li Chuyun was also looking around. Under the setting sun, the mountains on the horizon turned into black shadows, as if the place was blocked on all sides, and a depressed mood welled up in his heart.

He has an intuition based on years of experience: it is dangerous.

Zhongli murmured: "I dare say that the forbidden army is on my own territory, but they are turned away by the officials like guarding against thieves. Who gave them the confidence?"

Li Chuyun frowned and said, "What does Mr. Zhong want to say?"

Zhongli's expression froze, he turned around and said: "Gong Li, we have to be careful! The letter you sent back to Tokyo may become a handle for treason... From various signs, the old man suspects that the government is no longer in charge of the government, and the government has been controlled by Queen Dafu. In the eyes of Queen Dafu, you are the biggest threat and rival, and you must deal with it quickly! She should set up a good situation at this time and wait for Li Gong to go back."

Li Chuyun bowed his head in thought, he kept rubbing his head vigorously with rough hands, hesitant and confused.

Zhongli's voice said again: "Others are scrambling to make plans, but we have no strategy so far... I am really worried about the safety of the public!"

Li Chuyun said: "If this is the case, the royal family and the Privy Council ordered together, I have no choice but to hand over the military power, what else can I do?"

Zhongli said in a deep voice: "It's really unfortunate that the official's family is seriously ill; but fortunately, the timing is very coincidental...the Lord happens to have military power for a while."

Li Chuyun's face changed: "So what if you have military power?"

Zhongli whispered: "Call Shi Yanchao, Wei Renpu and other people to the central army, and behead them with their confidantes! Then he said that the officials have been seized by traitors, and ordered all the troops to fight under the banner of 'Qing Emperor's Side' and lead troops into Beijing!"

Li Chuyun's face turned red and white, and he was speechless for a long time.

Zhongli said: "We must continue to suffer from the chaos! The old man knows that Li Gong is not willing to provoke a civil war, but now, the Fu family has long wanted to put Li Gong and his family to death. They have no choice but to kill the roots to eliminate future troubles."

Li Chuyun did not refute Zhongli, because he also knew in his heart that if Empress Fu was in power, it would be obvious that the Li family would be the biggest opponent of the Fu family...

"Li Gong!" Zhongli's burning worry was very sincere, and he was more anxious than anyone else.

The details of Zhongli had already been found out when he was sent to prison. He had no heirs and was too old to look for a future for himself. Li Chuyun couldn't think of any other reason for his agitation and anxiety besides being loyal to his lord.

"Li Gongmingjian, today he gained great power through soldiers in the capital, and then took advantage of the expedition to hold the imperial army, and was enshrined in a yellow robe in Songzhou. It is a lesson from the past, but it has only been a few years, and it is impossible for Empress Fu not to be wary.

Besides, Empress Dafu and Concubine Gui are both the current wives, and women are the most jealous, so it's strange that she can really get along with Concubine Li Gui. It is inevitable to be separated from morality now.

When life and death are at stake, who will be merciful and let others go when they have the opportunity..."

"Go down!" Li Chuyun suddenly interrupted Zhongli coldly.

Zhongli was taken aback, silently clasped his fists and gave a deep bow, turned and left.

Only Li Chuyun was left standing alone by the bank of the Luo River, facing the wind on the river, unable to move for a long time.

Li Chuyun has too many things, because he didn't have anything before, so he valued it extra. He is a prince of the state, a royal relative, and he is not a desperate person. He is absolutely unwilling to bet everything casually.

These days, he was tortured by the huge mental pressure, his hair turned gray a lot, and he thought too much.

However, back then, Zhao Kuangyin was also under one person and above ten thousand people, and he had everything. In one night, not only ruined reputation, but still decapitated in the end...

The army camped on the bank of the Luo River for one night, and the next day they pulled out their camp and continued to march eastward along the main road. Nothing happened for a while.

Tens of thousands of horses have entered the hinterland of the Central Plains, passing through Xijing, and the capital of Daxu, Tokyo, is very close.
