retaliate

Jiaguguan was originally a mountain road, and later a pass was built around the mountain road.

The pass is built on the mountain, tall and solid. If you want to conquer Jiagu Pass, there is only one way, and that is to attack the city with ants.

But how many people would have to die to overcome such a dangerous pass?

If there are enough defenders and enough food and grass, it would be a dream to conquer it.

"It's very dangerous!"

Han Ji sighed, "One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it. This is what we are talking about!"

He Lianrong said: "Guanzhong is called the foundation of the emperor, not only because of the fertile fields and thousands of miles, but also because the surrounding area of ​​Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can cultivate life and rest, and fight hard."

When it comes to fertile land and thousands of miles, the south is better than Guanzhong.

But the south can't raise a king... After Shi Zhongtang's defeat, this kind of public opinion has been rampant.

Only in Guanzhong can a real dragon emerge!
"Those people are chattering about saying that only in Guanzhong can real dragons come out, but His Highness built his foundation in the north." Han Ji said mockingly: "After His Highness ascends the throne, I want to see what those people's faces will look like."

"We still have to win Jiagu Pass first, otherwise..."

Could it be that King Qin was enthroned in Daozhou?

That would be the laughing stock of the world.

But Li Xuan only brought [-] cavalry here, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was not to attack the city.

Li Han at the top of the city also saw what Li Xuan meant, "He wants to talk to you."

There is a king of Qin under the city, but the one at the head of the city is the crown prince who was appointed by the false emperor before he left.

It stands to reason that King Qin had to bow his head.

But behind Li Xuan is the vast northern land, the countless soldiers and civilians in the northern border, and the hometown of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

He came with the prestige of defeating the rebels, who would dare to look down on him?

Li Song said: "Your Highness should make a decision."

The big clan in Guanzhong didn't like the king of Qin... The clans of the aristocratic family should not move, this is the iron law, but this king of Qin stepped on the Yang family of Yingchuan.In northern Xinjiang, he wiped out those tyrants so much that they wanted to cry without tears, and many families were forced to leave northern Xinjiang.

This guy doesn't like the big clan!
Therefore, the big clan in Guanzhong would rather King Wei be in power than let Li Xuan enter the pass.

That's why they entrusted Li Song to be a lobbyist.

As long as King Wei nods, money, food and talents, including the army, will be ready for King Wei immediately.

This is a godsend opportunity!
Li Song smiled, waiting for King Wei to nod.

Li Han looked at the big banner under the city, and vaguely saw Li Xuan.

It's been a long time since I saw this person, and he looks even more dignified.

How to do?
Li Han was worried that it would lead to a dead end.

"Your Majesty..."

He wanted to persuade.

"switch!"

Li Han: "..."

Li Song: "..."

King Wei turned around, "Switch!"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Majesty!"

Even if he was named prince, everyone's titles are still messed up, which is the embodiment of no longer authority.

"Gu said, switch!"

King Wei held the handle of the giant knife, and everyone remembered that this man was ready to kill.

"Your Highness, why don't you become a lobbyist?" Han Ji smiled.

The second son of Li Gouyue, is this going to start a fight with Lao Tzu?
Li Xuan was cursing in his heart, but said calmly on his face, "Don't worry."

"Your Highness, Guanzhong is fundamental!" Han Ji's eyes became more ruthless, "The big families in the world don't like my northern border. I bet that the big people in Guanzhong are encouraging King Wei to stand on his own. Every day, King Wei will Make it stronger. Your Highness, you can't delay!"

He Lianrong patted his bald head, "Seizing Guanzhong is the top priority. Otherwise, when our army goes south, Guanzhong will suddenly come out from behind..."

This is one of the importance of Guanzhong.

Whoever controls Guanzhong has the initiative.

At that time, Li Tang grew up in Guanzhong, quietly watching the smoke and dust in the world fight each other.When the time came, he dispatched troops.After playing for a while, my brother came back to develop wretchedly.When I felt my strength recovered, my brother came out again.

It seems that we have to do another one?
Li Xuan coughed dryly, just about to order to go back.

He is going to take down Jianzhou first, and use Jianzhou as a foothold to block Guanzhong.

"Your Highness, the king is selfless!"

The words of compassion are not compassionate at all, "For the sake of the world, those friendships should be put aside!"

"alert!"

Someone in front shouted loudly.

What do you mean?
Li Xuan was startled, and saw that the closed door was slowly opening.

What does this mean?
Does Li Laoer still dare to come out and have a fight with Gu?
But he has thousands of people in his hands...

Li Xuan sighed.

The dog said!

The door was closed and wide open, and Yiqi came out slowly.

The majestic body and the huge knife at the waist are particularly eye-catching.

"Come and drink!"

King Wei waved.

"Where's the food?" Li Xuan asked.

"Do it yourself."

"Is there a fat sheep?"

"Yes, the fat sheep in Guanzhong has a light smell and is fresh and tender."

"it is good."

Li Xuance went out immediately.

"Your Highness!"

Lin Feibao wanted to follow.

"No need."

Li Xuan shook his head, "Go alone."

Han Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Follow up, raid!"

Yang Lize rode out, "The old man is going too."

Li Xuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "That's fine."

Ning Yayun shook her head, he knew that if he had asked, King Qin would definitely refuse.

"Prepare!"

For the first time, there was more murderous intent in Mercy's eyes.

Seeing that the situation is not right, Jiaguguan is about to be raided.

"It's getting thinner!"

Li Xuance came over.

"You look a little more weathered." Wei Wang said.

"I'm more worried."

"Can't you worry less?"

"I also think, those people from Kete Niang are not stopping!"

"Too."

King Wei glanced at Yang Lue.

"Yang Lue, the commander of the guards who took me south." Li Xuan introduced.

King Wei nodded and turned around on his horse.

The two of them entered Jiagu Pass slowly.

Han Ji's forehead was steaming... Jiang He'er touched his forehead, thinking that it's not hot today!
The compassionate monk's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he clenched his right hand tightly.

Even the always calm old man, Guo, was holding his tail tightly at this moment, as if he would kill King Wei with a flying sword in the next moment.

The three of them entered the closed door, but the closed door was left open.

"what!"

Han Ji was surprised.

The point is, there is no one inside or outside the closed door.

In other words, if the northern border army rushed in at this moment, Jiaguguan would change hands.

……

Li Han was standing on the long street from the closed door.

"Jianming!"

"Zi Tai!"

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are very cordial.

King Wei's residence does not occupy a large area, but there is a rare pool.

"It is said that there is a well below, so the water is endless all year round."

Li Han also lives here.

Tables and mats were set up by the pool, Li Xuan sat down, a servant started to light a fire, and a fat sheep was being groomed.

"Marinate for half an hour."

Li Xuan ordered.

"It's more delicious when baked directly." Li Han said.

"Do you understand or I understand?" Li Xuan's words left Li Han speechless.

"Drinks are brought here." King Wei ordered.

The cool breeze blows, and the rustling of the big trees by the pool is refreshing.

A jar of wine per person.

Yang Lue stood beside him, shaking his head and rejecting the fine wine.

The three drank in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, King Wei asked, "How is Shi Ni's subordinate?"

"Teacher of Tiger and Wolf."

This is a pun. On the one hand, it is about the ferocity of Shi Zhongtang's subordinates, and on the other hand, it is about the cruelty of the rebels.

"After this battle, Shi Ni could only escape to the southern border and wait for the northern army to attack. It's a pity that it's the Southern Zhou Dynasty." Li Han sighed: "Shi Ni led the main force to the north, and they were defeated."

"The south cannot breed real dragons." King Wei said, "The root of this statement is that the nature of the southern people cannot conquer the world."

The northerners are brave and brave, and the so-called generous and elegiac people are talking about the northerners.

Shi Zhongtang withdrew from the ranks of competing in the world, so what will happen to the world?

The army in the northern border is in full swing, but in the south there is Shi Zhongtang lingering on his last breath, in Shu there are false emperors and countless dignitaries and powerful families from Chang'an.

In Guanzhong, there are many people with ulterior motives.

Shi Gongming, Xijiang, Southern Zhou...

The world is still in chaos.

Whoever wants to control the world must wipe out these forces.

"Aye made this king the prince, and the idea was to throw the pot away." King Wei was very sober, "He fled all the way to Shu, but along the way, he sent a message saying that this king is the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, leading the army. Guard the pass."

Isn't this really shameless?

In other words, the fall of Guanzhong had nothing to do with him, Li Mi, it was the fault of the Prince Jian, the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses of the World.

"I remember when the matter was announced at the beginning, the second child looked relieved. At that moment, the crown prince became a hot potato. Yang Songcheng looked at the king with strange eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person."

King Wei said coldly: "Yes! Shi Ni broke Jiagu Pass, Aye fled, and there are only a few hundred riders under my command. Why not die?"

"They went to Sichuan, so they don't worry about not coming back?" Li Xuan was very curious.

Although the land of Shu is also known as a fertile field for thousands of miles, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a fatal problem in the land of Shu: it is partial to a corner.

It's just a corner, how do you attack the world?

"The aristocratic family has nothing but patience." King Wei took a sip of his drink, "They can endure. For example, the Yang family of Yingchuan endured for more than a hundred years many years ago. It was not until after the four emperors that they found the opportunity to support them. The new emperor has ascended the throne and once again became a dignitary in the world."

"That is to say, if Shi Ni breaks the land of Shu, will they choose to surrender?"

"Yes." King Wei nodded, "Foreigners don't have a hundred years of luck, just endure for a hundred years. When the world is in a storm, it will be the opportunity for the Yang family to rise again."

Li Han said: "Zitai, the people of the aristocratic family can rely on not only the fields and shops, but the most important thing is the network!"

"The Yang family in Yingchuan has been passed down for thousands of years, and the in-laws are innumerable. The Yang family spends a lot of money every year. Where does the money go? It is all used to maintain connections."

King Wei's words made Yang slightly look at him more, thinking that the puppet emperor has some knowledge.

"As long as these connections exist, the Yingchuan Yang family can rise again." King Wei's eyes filled with hatred, "My son!"

His eldest son was poisoned by Yang's people and became a fool.

"The meat is marinated." The servant came to ask for instructions.

"let's start!"

Li Xuan spoke very seriously.

The three big men looked at the fat sheep being put on top of the fire with serious expressions on their faces.

Yang Lue felt that the fat sheep had turned into a deer.

The world is competing!

"Someone advised this king to take control of Guanzhong and wait and see the changes in the world." King Wei said.

"Is Your Majesty moved?" Li Xuan asked.

"You have always been very humble!" Li Han said suddenly.

"But this time, I'm not going to be humble." Li Xuan said.

This world belongs to him!

Yang Lue's eyes became brighter.

This child has been a good person since he was a child, even though he knew that they were not his biological parents, he still refused to give up on them.

He had been worried all along, worried that Li Xuan would be indecisive, but at this moment, his worries dissipated.

"Once Aye knows that the king controls Guanzhong, he will turn around immediately." The corners of King Wei's mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

"After entering Chang'an City, he will boast that he is the return of the king. After that, he will probably quietly take down the king, confine him, and wait for the opportunity to execute him."

"Can't he save your life?" Li Xuan asked.

"Keeping this king will make him think of his own embarrassment."

"You said, is it interesting that people only care about power when they live?"

Li Xuan walked over, squatted down, and began to brush the fat sheep with sauce.

King Wei squatted opposite him, shaking his head, "It's boring, people, you shouldn't be slaves to desire."

Thirty percent of the old man's murderous intent towards you has dissipated... Yang Lue looked at King Wei with his hands behind his back.

"When I was young, my family secretly made delicious food, and they would hide it from me. But I was not stupid, and I went there after smelling it. Then I was scolded, or made to do things... When I came back, I had nothing."

Li Xuan flipped the fat sheep, "Later I gradually realized that this is not my delicacy. So I went hunting in the mountains and roasted the prey myself. Whether it is delicious or not, I only know that this is my thing. Only my own Food is the most delicious."

He didn't want to turn against his eldest nephew, so he hinted repeatedly.

This is not Li Yuan's family.

"When Aye ascended the throne, one day he went to Auntie in the harem, and said with high spirits, I humiliated so-and-so today, and it was very refreshing. Only later did the king know that the one who was humiliated by him was an important minister who respected the emperor's line. The man said at the court that he should treat the sons and grandchildren of the emperor kindly, and was humiliated by the court of Aye."

King Wei calmly talked about the secrets of the royal family, "This king has also inquired about what happened back then. Chief Ding knows a lot. He said that there were many suspicious things about the downfall and execution of Emperor Xiaojing. Especially the poisoning of the empress. , it is even more suspicious. The so-called whoever makes the most profit is more suspicious. This king knows that this matter is inseparable from A Weng Aye."

The flame licked the carcass of the fat sheep, making a sizzling sound.A drop of fat dripped down, and with a bang, it exploded.

King Wei looked at the flames in a daze.

"After Ah Weng and Aye came to the throne, they couldn't wait to clean up the old ministers. I didn't know why at first. I found out after reading the history books. Only thieves who usurped the throne would do this."

Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
