retaliate

early morning.

Yang Lue got up, washed up and asked, "Has Your Highness woke up yet?"

"His Highness is practicing."

After Yang Lue went to the prefecture.

The gatekeepers are Uda's subordinates.

"Mr. Yang."

"Old man, please see Your Highness." Yang Lue said.

The guard said: "His Royal Highness, Yang Gong does not need to report."

This is an honor.

Yang slightly went in along the way.

Stop suddenly and look to the right.

A horned dragon guard came out from the shadows, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the sword is not old."

In the backyard, Li Xuan was practicing.

Standing under the veranda, Yang Lue shook his head at the guards, motioning to leave Li Xuan alone.

Li Xuan is facing east, doing a set of stretching movements.

Exhale and inhale, as if communicating with heaven and earth.

This is the secret skill chosen by the Emperor of Filial Piety for his son.

After Yang Lue understood it thoroughly, he taught Li Xuan a little bit.

He thought about those years.

The little child looked at him curiously, "Yang Lue, what is this?"

"It's a secret technique!"

"Can secret skills be eaten?"

"It's cultivation."

"What do you practice for?"

"It's powerful!"

"But what do I want to be strong for?"

"Uh...you just need to practice. Remember, you have to practice for the rest of your life."

"Oh!"

The child was puzzled, but still obediently complied.

Afterwards, this secret technique accompanied him to this day.

Yang Lue felt warm in his heart, thinking of the year when Li Xuan felt the joy of inner breath for the first time.He waited and waited, and when Yang Lue came to visit at night, he said like offering a treasure: "Yang Lue, I feel it."

"is it?"

Yang Lue was overjoyed and felt that the child was a genius.

But after gradually practicing, this secret skill has become tasteless.

Li Xuan received his power, let out a mouthful of turbid air, and looked up to see Yang Lue.

"Although this secret technique is limited in improving cultivation, it is second to none in nourishing the body."

Li Xuan has been fighting here and there all these years, and has suffered a lot, but he hasn't had any serious problems with his body. Now that he thinks about it, this set of secret skills is attributable to him.

Yang Lue said: "I have always wondered why Your Majesty chose this secret technique for His Highness."

"Gu couldn't figure it out before, but after he had children, he looked at the children and thought in his heart, when they grow up, they will definitely not let them go on adventures."

Parents wish they could take care of everything for their children, and wish they could keep all dangers away from them.

"This secret skill makes Gu healthy, but it cannot make Gu a good player. If his cultivation is not high, Gu must not dare to take risks. In this way, he can save his life."

Yang Lue had no children, and he was shocked when he heard this.

Then, I thought of honoring the emperor.

The man who was still cold-eyed in the face of condemnation from all sides had a deep affection for his youngest son.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Lue sighed.

Li Xuan handed the cloth towel to Jiang He'er, also thinking of honoring the emperor.

He patted the big tree in the yard and recited softly:

"Everyone adopts a child who hopes to be smart, but I have been fooled by being smart all my life. I only hope that the child will be foolish and unruly, and come to the court without any disasters or difficulties."

Filial piety to the emperor let Yiniang take Li Xuan away, thinking about it must have been very complicated!
He ordered Qiulong Wei to hide in the marketplace, waiting for his call.This is a glimmer of hope for this child.

But he chose the most stable and most useless secret technique for this child.

He also ordered Qiulongwei to stand by, and if no one called after many years, they would all disperse.

In these self-contradictory arrangements, Li Xuan glimpsed the conflicted mentality of a father.

Revenge for Gu!

No, let that child live in peace and stability, it is best not to know anything.

"I only hope that the child will be foolish and reckless, and come to Gongqing with no disasters or difficulties."

Yang slightly sighed softly.

"Back then, His Majesty liked to take His Highness for a walk outside, and occasionally whispered something in his mouth, but no one could hear him."

Jiang He'er was also dumbfounded.

In various rumors from the outside world, Emperor Xiao Jing was described as a courageous man, a warrior who would not hesitate to throw moths into the flames in order to reform the Tang Dynasty.

Such a person, presumably, should be resolute, and should not be affectionate.

But after learning about the ambivalence of filial piety to the emperor, Jiang He'er felt that His Majesty became more and more flesh and blood.

It is also more and more cordial.

So, does he love his children so much?

Li Xuan was in a good mood.

All along, he felt that his father was too indifferent to him, from asking his biological mother Huang to accompany him to commit suicide by drinking poison, to putting the burden of rebellion on his shoulders, all of this made Li Xuan feel that he was just a tool.

But at this moment, he saw his father's love for him.

Something is gradually dissipating.

So he whetted his appetite and ate two large bowls of Hoto, which left Jiang He'er dumbfounded.

"Too much to eat, Your Highness!"

"Digest food!"

Li Xuan got up, "Get ready and go to Jiaguguan."

"Go now?" Jiang He'er asked.

"Correct."

The army did not move.

Li Xuan set off with ten thousand riders.

When he saw Jianzhou City from a distance, Li Xuan said, "Go and see."

Jiang He'er muttered, "Aren't you worried about being raided?"

When he saw the northern border army, the alarm bell rang at the top of the city, and Ashina Yanrong rushed all the way to the top of the city, "Where is it? Where is it?"

He saw the big flag.

Can't help taking a breath.

It was only yesterday that the Southern Xinjiang army was defeated, so today they can't wait to attack Jianzhou?
"The city is pretty good." Li Xuan pointed to the top of the city, "As a barrier to the south of Guanzhong, Jianzhou must pay attention."

Before taking Jianzhou City, he began to point out the country.

But everyone takes it for granted.

The city was crowded with people, the rebels were gathering, and Li Xuan even saw fireworks.

This is ready to boil golden juice!
He smiled and said contemptuously, "Bone in the tomb!"

Li Xuan left.

Ashina Yanrong heaved a sigh of relief, he looked left and right, but his face was pale.

What should I do next?
Jiaguguan was lost, and Daozhou was in the hands of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Only Yuezhou can give Jianzhou reinforcements, but obviously this is a luxury.

In other words, Jianzhou became an isolated city.

"General, let's escape!"

Someone whispered.

Ashina Yanrong didn't intend to die for Shi Zhongtang, but shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

God knows how many Northern Border troops are on the outskirts of Jianzhou at this moment. Once there is a change in the city, the Northern Border Army will definitely gather.

After leaving Jianzhou City, there is a hunting ground outside.

No one knows how many people will die along the way, perhaps, no one can reach Yuezhou safely.

Despair, like a vulture, hovered above everyone's heads.

The arrogance since the rise of the army is gone.

surrender!

For the first time, this thought arose in the defender's mind.

Someone said in a low voice: "King Qin said that if foreign people entered the Central Plains to burn, kill and loot, then don't go back."

These words were like a thunderbolt, and everyone who was blasted was shocked.

Yes!

In the just-concluded war, the Northern Xinjiang Army refused to accept the surrender and killed tens of thousands of rebels for the construction of Beijing.

Thinking that he would become a member of the huge mountain of corpses, everyone felt cold.

A rebel suddenly howled, "Aniang, Aniang, I want to go home..."

……

Jiagu Pass.

After the sneak attack was successful, King Wei sent people to recruit warriors.

After the fall of Guanzhong, the defeated soldiers scattered all over the countryside. When they heard that King Wei had captured Jiagu Pass, they came to vote one after another.

"There were more than two thousand people in half a day!"

On the top of the wall, Li Han rubbed his hands, "What do you think?"

"There are still Shi Zhongtang's troops in Guanzhong, adding up to more than ten thousand. If they hear the news, they will definitely fight back."

King Wei looked calm, but last night, someone suggested that he should control Guanzhong.

He also hinted that after controlling Guanzhong, the passage from Shu to Guanzhong can be blocked.

That is to say, leave Li Mi in Shu and ignore him.

"Your Highness, someone wants to see you."

Li Han turned around, and saw a middle-aged man in a fluttering blue shirt, looking at them with a smile.

"Li Song has met His Highness."

Li Song's posture is free and easy, "This old man is practicing in the mountains, and when he learned that His Highness has captured Guanzhong, he came here to congratulate him."

King Wei was silent.

"His Majesty took away the dignitaries and senior officials of Chang'an when he left Guanzhong. It seemed a bad thing, but it also made His Majesty less restrained."

This is clearly a lobbyist!

What kind of cultivation, is it possible to cultivate fame and fortune?

Li Han sneered in his heart.

"Guanzhong is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. Back then, Emperor Gaozu used Guanzhong as his foundation and finally achieved his imperial career. Now that the country is in turmoil and His Highness is in control of Guanzhong again, this old man thinks that this is the destiny!"

Ordinary people talk about God's will, but kings talk about destiny.

The difference of one word, but the world is different.

King Wei remained indifferent.

"Shi Ni fled. His power in the south is deeply rooted, and he will definitely want to make a comeback. The northern army is a guest army, and the army goes deep alone. It must be resolved quickly. In this way, King Qin will inevitably march south and fight Shi Ni. , in order to gain a foothold in the South..."

Li Song sighed: "The two armies are fighting, Guanzhong is the fisherman!"

Speaking of this, it stands to reason that King Wei should speak.

But he just looked at the mountains in the distance in a daze.

If you are not embarrassed, then others are the ones who are embarrassed... Li Song still said to himself, "There are still many families in Guanzhong who choose to stay. Now that there are countless vacancies in Chang'an, the king only needs to recruit talents, and those families will naturally be happy Ruokang. When the time comes, talents will gather and money will gather, this will be the foundation of the great cause!"

In another world, after Liu Huangshu entered the middle of Shu, he used various means to win over the local rich, and only then did he gain a firm foothold.

Regardless of the dignity of the emperor, there is a saying that the emperor is far away.The dignity of the emperor is only in the palace.In the vast world, the ruler is not the emperor, but the meat eaters.

That is, those families that Liu Song mentioned.

Aristocratic families fled with the emperor, but those families chose to stay.

It's not that they don't want to leave, but that they don't want to follow the land of Shu and continue to be pressured by a family of five surnames.

King Wei said, "Those families were planning to throw stones against them, right?"

Uh!
Those families who chose to stay, of course, wanted to wait and see.If Shi Ni showed some good manners and had the luck of destiny, these families would just accept their heads and worship.

In just a few decades, their family will replace the aristocratic family and become the new top meat eaters.

How many people can resist this kind of temptation?

As for what you said there is no balance between good and evil, sorry, in the eyes of these families, interests are eternal.

And the dynasty is flowing water.

Li Song's mouth was dry, but King Wei didn't intend to reward him with a cup of tea.

What a...a prince with the potential to be a tyrant!

"Someone entrusted the old man to speak."

Li Song glanced at King Wei, who was still as cold as ice.

Brother, this is someone who is coming to join you!
Give me a smile anyway, okay?
Li Song coughed dryly, "Your Highness has seized Jiagu Pass, and people's hearts are excited. Many people have prepared money and food to prepare for the army. If His Highness does not give up, they are willing to serve His Highness."

These words have gone so far as to be undisguised.

Boss, as long as you yell out, as long as you open your mouth and promise to benefit those families, then you will be the king of Guanzhong in an instant.

Do you want it?
"There is movement!"

Then someone shouted.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Song walked over and saw smoke and dust in the distance.

"It's cavalry!"

There are old soldiers in the defenders who are very sure.

"At least ten thousand!"

This is the scout.

"Who will it be?"

The head of the city is still dominated by King Wei's old foundation at this moment, and the more than two thousand people who have recently joined the army have not yet completed their formation.

A group of cavalry rushed out from the smoke and dust, and the old soldier exclaimed, "It's the Northern Frontier Army!"

The mighty cavalry came.

When the big flag was raised high, Li Song said: "Your Highness, Yang Ni is here."

King Wei glanced at him.

"Old dog!"
