Chapter 1320 Follow That Big Banner
In the ravine, hundreds of riders ate dry food silently.

Everyone's eyes are a little dazed, they don't know where their future is, let alone where the future of Datang is.

The emperor ran away, leaving behind a prince who supervised the country.

The prince of Jian Guo was squatting in the prison of Jingtai one moment, and became a prince the next moment. If it were the past, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Yang Songcheng and the others walked resolutely, especially King Yue, lying in the carriage, the sound of groaning made people think of the client who was hollowed out in the brothel.

Face, in front of life, is gone.

King Wei, this is a fool!

An old soldier said to his companion in a low voice: "This is a mess, the so-called Prince Jian Guo is the unlucky one who took the blame for His Majesty."

The emperor ran away, and any subsequent changes in the situation in the Tang Dynasty could be thrown on the head of the Prince Jian Guo.

All of this has nothing to do with me, it's all the fault of the Prince Jian.

Da da da!
After riding several horses into the valley, the leader got off his horse and asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

Turning his eyes, he immediately found King Wei sitting alone on the stone.

"Your Highness, the villain has been ordered to come and deliver a message."

King Wei recognized this person as Li Han's follower.

"What did Jianming say?"

"Mr. Xiao Lang said that Shi Zhongtang's rebellion was the emperor's fault, but now that His Highness is in charge of the country, the emperor can blame His Highness for the crime. What Mr. Xiao Lang means is that His Highness should be sick."

Malingering?

The lonely prince of the prison country can't bear it anymore, Aye, you continue to come!
The idea was good, but King Wei shook his head, "Tell Jianming, Gu, don't leave!"

What Li Han meant was to let him pretend to be sick and slip away to catch up with the brigade. As for the follow-up, it would give the emperor a headache.

The entourage was stunned, "Your Highness, this is a big hole!"

"Someone has to clean up the sins he has done." King Wei said, "No one will come, come here alone!"

The entourage looked at him impolitely, "Xiao Langjun said that His Highness might not want to leave. He said that His Highness's stubbornness is just like what the King of Qin said... Secondary School."

King Wei said, "Tell Jianming to go to Shu!"

"Yes."

Let me say goodbye.

King Wei mounted his horse, "Let's go!"

Hundreds of riders quietly left the ravine.

In the evening, they emerged behind a group of rebel scouts.

The rebels were grilling meat. They looted a batch of chickens, ducks, and two sheep. While talking about today's harvest, they laughed at the fleeing emperor.

When King Wei came out bathed in the setting sun, everyone was caught off guard.

The emperor is gone, and Guanzhong is as safe as the backyard of the rebels.

Unexpectedly, a god of killing rushed out.

"kill!"

King Wei swung his sword to kill a panicked rebel, and shouted: "Let some people go."

His subordinates let go of a hole, and more than a dozen rebels fled in embarrassment.

A general came over, "Why do you let them go, Your Highness?"

"The emperor is the sky of the Tang Dynasty. The sky is gone, and the world is dark. I am alone, and I want to light a lamp for the people of the world."

King Wei turned his horse around, "Pack up your things and go right away!"

Armor, weapons, war horses, food...all of these are resources for those who have lost their supply channels.

King Wei is still here!

The news kept spreading.

In the mouths of the people, he is in the mountains, he is above the fields, he is in the village, and he is behind the rebels, staring at him like a tiger.

……

Daozhou.

Pan Guangcheng is Shi Zhongtang's favorite general, and he has followed him in battle for many years.When Shi Zhongtang decided to rebel, Pan Guangcheng was the first general to support him.

Daozhou guards the east of Jianzhou and Yuezhou. If the opponent wants to attack Jianzhou, Daozhou can attack him from the side.

Therefore, if you want to attack Jianzhou, or even Guanzhong, you must win Daozhou.

This is also the reason why Shi Zhong ordered Pan Guangcheng to defend Daozhou.

Pan Guangcheng swore at that time that he was in Daozhou.

Jiang Feng was a general of Daozhou. When Daozhou was broken, he was captured and surrendered. Shi Zhong Tang Huanxi asked him to assist Pan Guangcheng.

Pan Guangcheng looked dark and dark. The southern sun was hot, and his skin was tanned.A pair of small pupils are shining brightly, looking full of energy.

Jiang Feng stroked his beard and said, "General, once Lizhou is broken, should Li Xuan attack Jianzhou or Daozhou?"

Pan Guangcheng was looking at the map, "Northern Xinjiang's army looks fierce, but they are far away, and it is not easy to transfer food and grass. Although Lizhou was captured, our army is stationed in Jianzhou and Jiaguguan, and the northern Xinjiang army's food will be cut off at any time. The possibility of Tao. Therefore, Li Xuan must find a foothold at this moment."

"Daozhou?"

"Yes, take Daozhou, and then advance to attack Jianzhou, and even take Yuezhou, cutting off the connection between Southern Xinjiang and Chang'an." Pan Guangcheng said: "Li Xuan is good at using troops, and he can't fail to see this."

A small official came in, "General, the Duke has sent an envoy."

An official came in, saluted and said, "National Public Transport Representative."

Pan Guangcheng and Jiang Feng stood with arms tied.

The official nodded in satisfaction, "The Duke judged that Li Xuan would definitely attack Daozhou. The Duke ordered the general to guard cautiously. When the state is established, the defenders of Yuezhou will wait for the opportunity to send troops to help."

"Leader!"

After explaining the matter, the official said: "The Duke has arrived in Chang'an and entered the imperial palace. The old man also went in to have a look. It really is a place of wealth and magnificence."

"It will be great when the old man can go and have a look." Pan Guangcheng flattered a few words in the official's tone, and then asked people to accompany him to rest.

As soon as the officials left, Pan Guangcheng called his subordinates to discuss matters.

"The northern border army will definitely come to attack our Daozhou. My Daozhou is ahead, but Jianzhou and Yuezhou are behind, and they can attack the northern border army at any time."

Pan Guangcheng smiled and said, "This situation, to be honest, is like a pit, but Li Xuan and the Northern Border Army had no choice but to jump out."

His eyes were piercing, "The northern border army needs a foothold, otherwise they have nowhere to store their luggage, and our army may attack from Jiagu Pass or Jianzhou to cut off the food road at any time. Once the food road is cut off, the army will not fight." Therefore, Li Xuan knows that this is a pit, so he can only jump down without hesitation. And what I have to do is, after he jumps down, bury him!"

……

"Our army must find a foothold."

In the big tent, Li Xuan was analyzing the situation for his subordinates.

"Jianzhou is not easy to fight. Once we attack Jianzhou, Jiaguguan will be able to attack. Give our army a look from the side." Li Xuan pointed to the map and said: "After taking Daozhou, our army can attack Jianzhou to the right. , block Jiagu Pass, and block the way for the Guanzhong rebels to go south. Or go straight forward and attack Yuezhou. Once Yuezhou is reached, our army will be able to see the rebels' lair."

If this is a game of chess, then Daozhou is Tianwang Mountain!

By defending Daozhou, the rebels can calmly attack the Northern Army until the Northern Army runs out of food and collapses, or withdraws sadly.

And after taking Daozhou, the Northern Xinjiang Army will have a firm foothold, advancing and attacking, and retreating and defending.

"The false emperor is gone, and the people in the Guanzhong area say that the Tang Dynasty is over." Li Xuan said: "I want to use the first battle of Daozhou to tell the world, I am still here!"

There are several villages near the station, and Bao Dong led people into one of them.

"Have the rebels ever attacked and harassed you?" Bao Dong asked Village Zheng.

"Harassment!" The villager smiled wryly, "They want food, and if they don't give it, they will kill people!"

"Those are all alien races." Bao Dong asked, "Are you desperate for waiting?"

Muramasa nodded, with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty has run away, villain... I don't know what to do."

"Look over there."

Bao Dong pointed to the camp.

A large flag was flying in the camp.

"Look at that big flag!" Bao Dong said seriously: "Follow it!"

……

"Got a spy!"

Jielong happily came to find Helianyan.

"Commander, I got a spy from the rebel army."

He Lianyan said: "Torture."

After some torture, a confession was obtained.

"The rebels know that our army is going to attack Daozhou, and they are waiting for death."

"Shi Zhongtang is in Chang'an, and it is said that he entered the palace."

He Lianyan stood up, "I'll go see Your Highness."

Li Xuan is resting.

It was a little dark in the big tent, and he knelt behind the table, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Your Highness."

"Ok!"

He Lianyan came in and saw that he was tired, so she walked behind him and gently rubbed his shoulder, "Shi Zhongtang has entered the palace."

"What was expected." Li Xuan said: "Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor. He was greedy, so he gave up the temptation of going out of Jiagu Pass and the lonely battle, and chose to stay in Guanzhong, integrate the forces of all parties in Guanzhong, and strengthen himself."

"In addition, Daozhou is aware of our army's movements and is ready to fight."

"Shi Zhongtang's subordinates are veterans on the battlefield, and our army's situation cannot be hidden from them. Going to Daozhou is a bright road, and there is no way to avoid it."

"Your Highness, don't worry too much." He Lianyan moved her hands up, gently kneading his temples.

Li Xuan said: "Gu also wants to defeat the rebels like a rotten one, but it's not that easy. The world is in chaos, and the perpetrators escaped, leaving a mess. Since Gu wants to revive the Tang Dynasty, he must clean up the mess from the beginning. Get ready. Gu, get ready."

"Daozhou!"

Li Xuan held that little hand.

"Your Highness!" He Lianyan's pretty face flushed slightly.

Outside the tent, Jiang He'er pouted.

She saw Pei Jian, "Is it urgent?"

Pei Jian shook his head, Jiang He'er said: "His Royal Highness is resting, take it easy!"

Standing outside the big tent, Jiang He'er thought of what his father had said.

——Crane ah!You serve by His Highness's side, who would dare to marry you in the future?Prepare early!
——Leave aside all reservations, the key is to get ahead first.

——Don't be careless, let His Highness feel the charm of his daughter's family.

—Better have a son.

What her father said inside and out was encouraging her to seduce Li Xuan.

Li Xuan is handsome, coupled with both civil and military skills, to be honest, even a woman would be tempted.

Jiang He'er muttered, "Aye, but...how can you hook up with a man!"

……

The grain and grass came, and at the same time brought a letter from Tao County.

Liu Qing said in the letter that the weather will be good this year and the harvest will be good.The hometown of the Northern Liao Dynasty is also okay, and it can contribute a lot of taxes this year.

Zhou Ning mentioned two children the most in his letters.

Ah Liang became more and more sensible, and the husband praised him for his talent.

Li's second child is still a headache, making the house messy all day long.

——Zitai, the world is important, but you are even more important.

The concern from his wife revived Li Xuan's spirit.

He put away the letter. At dawn, the army outside was gathering.

"Your Highness."

Jiang He'er came in, "They are waiting for His Highness outside."

Li Xuan got up and walked out.

"I have seen Your Highness!"

People salute.

"set off!"

The army departs.

Along the way, the rebel scouts turned around and ran away when they saw the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"Kill!" Wang Laoer led his subordinates all the way to chase and kill.

"The northern army is here."

The news reached Daozhou.

"alert!"

Pan Guangcheng took a deep breath, "The old man will let him die in the city of Daozhou!"

With the expansion of Shi Zhongtang's power, his subordinates are also fighting openly and secretly.

Wei Ming is the confidant of Shi Zhongtang's confidant, but Pan Guangcheng thinks that Wei Ming is too vulgar and not worthy of the title of number one general at all.

But since sending out troops, Wei Ming has been attacking the city all the way, majestic and majestic.

When we met last time, Wei Ming asked Pan Guangcheng sarcastically how many enemies he had killed along the way.

That time, it was Shi Zhongtang's subordinate, and everyone saw Pan Guangcheng's embarrassment.

He led his troops to follow Wei Ming's army, and his job was to clean up the mess.

Wei Ming even made fun of him for picking up trash.

There are many alien races in the rebel army, and even people from Tang Dynasty like Wei Ming have learned to attack their opponents straightforwardly.

In public, Pan Guangcheng was humiliated and blushed.

He said a word: "The old man needs a chance!"

How can I prove myself if I don't have the chance to face my opponent directly?

And now, the opportunity has come.

Pan Guangcheng's eyes sparkled, "Scouts should be more courageous!"

Following this order, scouts from Daozhou flocked to Wang Laoer.

……

In the Chang'an Imperial Palace.

Shi Zhongtang was reading the documents.

Southern Xinjiang reported that since the last disastrous defeat, the Southern Zhou army shrank and did not dare to look north.Qinghe civil and military officials asked whether they could attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

"Morale is like a rainbow!"

Shi Zhongtang smiled.

A servant came in, "Duke, please see Mr. He."

When the emperor fled, he took some court ladies with him, but there were too many people in the palace, and most of them stayed.

He Zun came in, "Duke, the scouts are here to report that the Northern Frontier Army has dispatched and headed straight to Daozhou."

"Sure enough, Li Xuan asked for a foothold." Shi Zhongtang narrowed his eyes, looked at Daozhou on the map, and punched it hard.

"When hit head-on!"
