Chapter 676
Due to the fall of Tongguan, Fenglingdu also sent many more garrisons, and Lian Xixian was imprisoned in the garrison camp.

The wound on his head hadn't healed yet, and blood flowed over his eyebrows from time to time.

But he has already figured out the cause and effect.

It was Li Xia who asked him to write the letter to Shang Ting, not to Shang Ting, but to the girl from the Zhang family.Afterwards, the girl from the Zhang family cooperated with Li Xia and turned her back on Lian Xixian to identify him as a traitor.

"It's so simple... You can cross the Yellow River, it can be said that you can accomplish many things in one fell swoop..."

Lian Xixian is not worried about his personal wealth and life.

Instead, when Li Xia hooked up with Zhang's family, he was afraid that he would have to plant eyeliner in Xi'an, Shanxi, to find out the deployment of troops on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Because Li Xia took down Guanzhong, the first thing to do must be to deploy defenses in the middle of Guanzhong. In addition to Tongguan, another line of defense is the Yellow River from Luliang Mountain to Fenglingdu.

After Lian Xixian moved his troops in Guanzhong, some of them were deployed along this section of the Yellow River, waiting for the time to counterattack the key.

Ships, troops, once Li Xia finds out about these, he can calmly deploy defenses on the Yellow River... This is the key to the situation in Guanzhong.

……

Finally, someone walked outside the camp.

Yi Shu'an looked into the cell, pretending to be surprised for the first time.

"Mr. Lian was beaten? This is definitely not what I mean..."

"Master Yijie thinks I'm collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Lian Xixian stabilized his emotions and maintained a calm tone, "I can explain everything."

"It's useless for Mr. Lian to explain to me." Yi Shu'an raised his hand, "I'm just a small magistrate, I don't know everything, Mr. Lian and Xingtai can just explain."

He used to like to put on the prestige of being a military envoy, but today, he is a "Little Zhizhou" with his mouth and mouth, and if possible, he can say it by calling himself "a servant of the Beeji Mansion".

"I'm not here to prove my innocence, but Li Xia is in Jiezhou. If Shuai Yijie refuses to make arrangements early, then..."

"Mr. Lian."

Yi Shu'an interrupted Lian Xixian again.

There was some contempt in his eyes, he smiled lightly, and said: "Not to mention that it is impossible for Li Xia to come... Don't worry, how about it, just pretend that I believe in Lian Gong, and Lian Gong will go and get Li Xia So what? I have no right to prove whether Mr. Lian has defected to the enemy or is innocent, and I have no right to decide to attack Guanzhong."

"As long as you kill Li Xia, it will be a great contribution..."

Yi Shu'an was even more contemptuous, and said leisurely: "It seems that Mr. Lian still doesn't understand why he has fallen to where he is today. You always feel that you are doing the right thing. You are good at killing Mongolians, good at mobilizing troops, and good at commanding generals." , but you forgot the rules. If you succeed, you are a great achievement, if you fail, you are a great crime, so you voted for Li Xia... I am not you, I am not so arrogant, and I have not forgotten how much power His Majesty gave me. what to do."

Lian Xixian shook his head, with disappointment in his eyes, and asked, "Did I take refuge in Li Xia, or did you, Uncle Yi, take refuge in Li Xia?"

"Good words are harsh, but Mr. Lian still refuses to think about it?" Yi Shu'an shook his head, "What you and I should do as a courtier is only the word 'duty'."

"Is it your duty to confiscate Wuhusi to Beji Mansion every year?!"

"good."

Yi Shuan's tone of course, no shame, only glory.

He pointed at Lian Xixian, and then at himself.

"Mr. Lian didn't pay homage to the prime minister in his thirties, but now he is a prisoner under his rank. Although I am a small official, I live in Xiezhou, but I am still standing outside the prison gate. Who is right and who is wrong, what is there to argue about?"

Facing Yi Shu'an's solemn and arrogant expression, Lian Xixian laughed.

He took a step back and asked: "It seems that everything I did at the risk of death... is not worth mentioning in your eyes?"

"Mr. Lian made a mistake in the first step. Before His Majesty returned to Yanjing, Mr. Lian dared to kill Brother Ali's people and seize the military power. Isn't everything you do after that just to cover up this mistake? Otherwise, why did you come here? You still talk about sacrificing your life?"

"Yes, it was me who was wrong, I was too ridiculous."

The mockery on Lian Xixian's face became stronger, and finally he laughed.

Laughing until tears overflowed, he still didn't stop, laughing forward and backward.

"Hahaha... ridiculous... too ridiculous..."

Facing Li Xia's opponent who seemed to be gifted by God, Lian Xixian never felt discouraged.

He took a slow step and was controlled by Li Xia every step of the way, but until this moment, he was still trying to turn things around, indomitable.

The ridiculous thing is that Yi Shu'an can easily kill Li Xia with just one order, but he doesn't even want to listen.

The world is so absurd.

"It's ridiculous... I'm so ridiculous, and I still think that there are not so many twists and turns in the officialdom in the Great Mongolia... I should learn from you! I should learn from you high-ranking officials who have defected to the gold... He changed dynasties, caring that he was born in Li Sheji...hahaha, he only cares about the wealth and honor of the family and family...hahaha..."

Yi Shu'an shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Lian, don't laugh...I'm here to tell you two things."

Lian Xixian was still smiling.

Yi Shu'an said to himself: "Your Majesty has appointed Ahema as the left and right department of Zhongshuxing Province and the transfer envoy of the capital. He will be in charge of the situation in Shanxi."

The smile on Lian Xixian's face froze.

He knew Ahema, and each other...had a deep grudge.

Yi Shu'an spread his hands and said: "Mr. Lian should have understood, I can't listen to your order, I can only hand you over, I just ask Mr. Lian to prepare himself."

Lian Xixian understood.

At this time, the political opponent was appointed to preside over the situation in Shanxi, so there is no need to say more.

"The other thing is news from a while ago..."

Yi Shu'an changed his expression of grief, opened his mouth slowly, and said again: "Lingtang... has passed away, and Mr. Lian's mourning has changed."

Lian Xixian's stiff smile changed drastically, as if he had been severely injured, he took two steps back and fell to the ground.

In the prison, only Yi Shu'an was still speaking slowly.

"In July, the Lingtang left. At that time, Guanzhong was urgent, and Liangong's family suppressed the news and did not send the news. Last month, Yanjing spread the news that Liangong returned to his hometown to guard the system, but...but Today, I'm afraid I can't let Mr. Lian go, so I will send someone to bring the mourning clothes..."

There was some pity in Yi Shu'an's tone, because he sincerely thought that what he advised Lian Xixian was golden and good words. If Lian Xixian hadn't insisted on overstepping his authority at that time, how could he have missed his mother's funeral?

To be a minister, to be a son, to do one's duty...

~~
On the other side, after seeing Yi Shu'an, Zhang Yanxiong went to the ferry to prepare the boats, including the boats brought by Li Xia from the south bank.

Afterwards, he first went to the posthouse where Li Xia was staying, looked around and saw Li Xia, and immediately panicked.

Just about to go back to see if the eldest sister was still there, I saw Li Xia Shi Ranran coming from the opposite side.

"you……"

"General Zhang." Li Xia reminded him seriously.

Only then did Zhang Yanxiong put on a straight face, and shouted: "Come in and tell me."

Walking into the house, he said impatiently, "Don't you want to abduct my eldest sister?!"

"Didn't General Zhang lock all the doors?"

"I'm being polite if I don't kill you. Don't make me angry, and let you have no good fruit to eat."

Li Xia just ignored it, glanced at Zhang Yanxiong, and smiled slightly.

Zhang Yanxiong's eyes froze, and he tried his best to hold up his momentum, and shouted: "You are leaving today! I have prepared the boat and told you to go down to Kaifeng along the Yellow River. You are Tongguan!"

"Eldest sister, won't you go with me?"

"The toad also wants to eat swan meat, so hurry up before I kill you!"

Li Xia said again: "Lian Xixian hasn't dealt with it yet, he will reveal the matter sooner or later."

"I have done as you said, Yi Shu'an refused to hand over the man to me... My family's commander-in-chief can handle it himself!"

"Huh? What did Yi Shu'an say?"

"Just go away! Whatever his mother says."

Zhang Yanxiong let out a "tsk", very irritable.

After thinking about it, the envoy sent by Li Xia also confirmed from the side that it was Lian Xixian who had defected and that the Zhang family was not suspected of collaborating with the enemy, which was in line with Goro's orders.

After all, he replied: "Yi Shu'an is neither willing to give Lian Xixian to me, nor to the person you sent, saying that he sent Yang Shi back perfunctorily."

Li Xia waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Lian Xixian has a high reputation in Chang'an. Once the news of his arrest spreads, I am afraid that the defenders on the east bank of the Yellow River will be killed. You need to remind the Yi family to be on guard. Before they fight At that time, let me take Lian Xixian away again, and if it is confirmed that he is a defector, what he said is all false accusations."

"You want to use me again?"

"When did I use you?" Li Xia said: "Don't forget, how did Shang Ting know that the eldest sister is coming to me, this hidden danger has to be eliminated."

Zhang Yanxiong couldn't understand anymore, and murmured: "Then why did you send Lian Xixian here again?"

"Isn't this to clear the Zhang family's charges?"

"This...can't you leave today?"

Li Xiayun waved his hands lightly, and said: "You don't have to worry, just listen to me and my eldest sister at ease, and I will ensure that you will be prosperous in the future."

Zhang Yanxiong was taken aback again, and when he looked up, he saw Li Xia's determined eyes seemed to be looking into his heart.

……

However, all the way out of this post house, he suddenly looked back and became suspicious.

"Why do I feel that there are less than 30 people here?"

The Zhang family who was in charge of guarding responded: "The general forgot? These 15 people went to do things according to the general's order."

"I ordered it?" Zhang Yanxiong was stunned, and cursed: "Damn, he's making trouble again..."

~~
Pujin Ferry.

"The Yi family has defected and captured Prime Minister Lian?"

"As soon as you ask about this matter, you will know that many of us guarding Fenglingdu have been arrested."

A golden talisman was displayed.

Although after Wang Liangchen's defeat, Lian Xixian ordered the troops stationed in various places in Guanzhong not to recognize the golden talisman to open the city gates, and there must be an order for comparison.

But this is Shanxi, and many people have forgotten the order of guarding the pass at that time.

"This is Lian Xiang's letter. He ordered me to escape, and asked you to lead people to save him..."

"What a handsome Yi Shu'an, dare to take the majestic prime minister of the province."

The whispers rang out for a long time.

Afterwards, Lin Zi led the people out of the barracks, and followed several Mongolian and Han generals to the Pujin Ferry. Looking around, they could only see densely packed boats blocking the river in the moonlight.

This is the boat that Lian Xixian used to cross the river when he moved out of Chang'an, and it was also a preparation for his counterattack.

What Linzi had to do was very simple. He instigated Pujindu's garrison troops to rescue Lian Xixian, and then burned all the boats.

Is it hard to do?
The greatest spy in the world can do it.

The night is getting darker.

Dozens of small boats sailed out of the ferry and went down the Yellow River.

Lin Zi fell last, but got off the boat again, took out the golden talisman, and asked the defenders, "Which boat is carrying the Shizhi and Thunderbolt Cannon? I was ordered to rescue Prime Minister Lian..."

"call!"

The fire suddenly rose, illuminating Pujin Ferry...

~~
"Kill!"

"..."

Li Xia stood up and listened to the killing cries in the distance.

"Master." Someone pushed the door open and said in a low voice, "We're fighting."

"Leave them alone, let me pick them up, and then go back to Tongguan."

"Yes."

Li Xia didn't need to change his clothes, so he got up and walked outside, only to hear the fierce battle in the distance getting more intense.

This situation seems unbelievable, but he had a realization a long time ago——

Mongolia's crude and free-range system is not comparable to the system of the Song court, but all internal friction and contradictions are covered up by endless expansion.

Victory on the battlefield can make up for the backwardness of the system.And once this victory stops, Mongolia's internal struggle will be far more intense and cruel than Song Ting's.

A group of wolves, tigers and leopards can fight to every corner of the world when they work together, and when they are confined, they can tear their flesh and blood to shreds.

Today's Xiezhou is just a microcosm, and a pack of free-ranging dogs such as wolves, tigers and leopards can easily bite off a bone...
