retaliate

As a barrier for Yizhou, Fangzhou should be heavily guarded.But one day, with Tianxian Yangling Pass in front, the defenders of Fangzhou felt that they were just a display.

Therefore, when the news of the fall of Yangling Pass came, the guard of Fangzhou was dumbfounded.

"It was lost?"

"Yes!"

Guard Du Que was stunned for more than ten breaths, and slapped his forehead, "Hurry up, hurry up and report to Your Majesty!"

"Close the city gate, and no entry or exit will be allowed from today on!"

Du Que kicked his subordinates, but his heart fell to the bottom.

Yangling Pass is lost!

What about Fangzhou?
……

Tongcheng.

Tongcheng in late autumn is beautiful, on the stone street, children are running wildly, adults are yelling...

When Wang Da caught his son, he beat him up. The neighbors persuaded him, "Brother Wang, why are you so angry?"

Wang Da slapped his son's buttocks hard, "The clothes are so torn, how can I get money to buy you new clothes? If you are disobedient, I will beat you to death!"

A woman passing by with a bamboo basket on her shoulders said: "This is the temperament of the baby, and you were also like this when you were young!"

Wang Da smiled wryly, "At that time, the tax was not so high. If I pay the tax this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive next year's wheat harvest. Could it be that the whole family went to drink the northwest wind?"

The woman sighed, "This year is really sad."

"It's not just sad, but I'm afraid I won't make it through!" An old man squatting outside his house said, "It is said that all the money and food collected have been used to support the army."

"Raising a large army, raising a large army, who are you guarding against?" Wang Da let go of his son, "Chang'an's army is here, and if we fight together, our Shu land will be bloodied again."

"Not necessarily." The old man said firmly, "Yangling Pass is here!"

Yangling Pass is the patron saint of Shu.

"Too!"

The woman nods.

Wang Da squatted down, "But if the Chang'an army can't fight down, next year, next year, this tax will be collected like this, before the Chang'an army comes, we will starve to death."

The woman glanced at him, "I didn't hear anything." Then she ran away like a gust of wind.

"Afraid of a bird!" Wang scolded: "A person's dead egg is turned upside down, and he will not die for thousands of years! A bachelor, don't like laxity!"

The old man said quietly: "Then you want the Chang'an army to come in? Or something."

Wang Da blurted out, "Of course it's calling in."

"Yangling Pass is here!"

"I bet you that Yangling Pass won't be able to hold it!" Wang Da said.

After finishing speaking, he looked around, and more than ten neighbors were staring at him.

"Wow... I drank too much!" Wang Da ran over, picked up his son and left, turning his head while walking, "I drank too much!"

"Boss Wang, if you don't buy me a drink, I will sue the officials later!" A neighbor jokingly threatened.

"That's right, Wang Da, your baby looks fine, why don't you make an appointment with my girl!"

A child ran into the alley as if flying, and his unworn shoes slapped on the stone slab, making a rattling sound.

"Yangling Pass is lost!"

Wang Er suddenly turned his head.

Then, the fryer was fried outside.

"Yangling Pass is lost."

"God, this army is coming."

The uproar continued to spread.

That said, the news is true.

My mouth... Wang Da swears that he just said it casually to vent his anger!

The neighbors slowly looked at Wang Da.

"Wang Da, tell me again, can this Fangzhou be able to hold on?"

"Brother Wang, come to drink at home later, I cut a piece of old bacon, steamed it and sliced ​​it, it's very comfortable."

"Brother Wang..."

The autumn wind blew through the alley, sending the news in a hurry, but it did not cause the expected shock. The child was stunned, tilted his head, looking at everyone, he almost regarded Wang Da as a god.

Then, he asked curiously, "His Majesty Chang'an, are you coming?"

……

"There is no second day!"

In the court hall, Zheng Qi was spit impassionedly.

"If you don't mention taxes, where will you get the money and food to support the army? Without an army, how can we counterattack the key points?"

This is political correctness.

He sprayed so heartily that no one dared to refute it.What people are living in dire straits!Why be careful of people rebelling...

If you dare to say it, even if you ignore the overall situation and turn around and the emperor punishes you, everyone will just applaud and snatch your vacated official position.

Li Mi looked at the officials and said lightly: "Zhu Qing, don't forget Chang'an!"

"I have dreamed of Chang'an in my dreams. I dreamed of the Lengtao of the Chen family on Zhuque Street. A bowl of it in this weather is cool and refreshing, which makes me feel very comfortable."

A courtier sighed.

"Zhang Qing." Li Mi looked at Zhang Huan, the black-haired snake, "It is estimated that there is a fierce battle at Yangling Pass, is there something important?"

This is for Zhang Huan to fill in the omissions.

Zhang Huan glanced at Zheng Yuandong.

Zheng Yuandong looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if he was a master of Taoism.

Could this guy be practicing closed-mouthed meditation recently?
Zhang Huan had no choice but to go out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, Yangling Pass is dangerous, and this battle is only for the general. The general can boost morale, so even if Yang Ni has a million troops under his command, he can only do nothing!"

He found the answer unassailable.

Li Mi was dissatisfied, "I mean, maybe... take advantage of the situation to fight back?"

Zhang Huan: "..."

Counterattack?

With this situation, if the defenders of Yangling Pass dared to attack, Li Xuanneng's jaw would drop with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's difficult." Zhang Huan didn't dare to refute this opinion directly, "Then Yang Ni..."

He hesitated again and again.

Zheng Yuandong said quietly: "That man is the ancestor of the sneak attack!"

The emperor shut up.

Zhang Huan smiled dryly.

I feel that there is something wrong with Lao Zheng's attitude, not tactful enough.

"His Majesty!"

A servant came outside and wanted to break in, but was stopped by the guard.

Han Shitou walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There is a messenger from Fangzhou asking to see me."

Han Shitou looked past the servant and saw the messenger.

He felt a touch of despair.

"Your Majesty, there is a messenger from Fangzhou asking to see you."

The emperor nodded, and Han Shitou came in with the messenger.

The messenger came to salute.

"Your Majesty, Yangling Pass...is lost!"

It was as if a large-scale secret technique had been used in the hall, and it froze instantly.

Li Mi still maintained a somewhat dissatisfied look.

Zheng Yuandong lowered his head slightly, the disdain still in his eyes.

Zhang Huan still smiled like a black snake.

Zheng Qi's mouth opened, and the words of refutation were contained in it, and saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth.

The first to react was Yang Songcheng.

He shouted, "Who sent the news?"

At this time, any news needs to be screened.

Maybe, it's just rumors.

Everyone slowly looked at the messenger.

The messenger knelt down.

"The rout said that after Yang Ni's subordinates suddenly appeared at Yangling Pass from the mountains, they succeeded in raiding and closing the gate, and then the defenders were defeated..."

"Verify his identity!" Yang Songcheng said.

This is the last hope.

Before anyone could verify the identity of the envoy again, the second wave of envoys from Fangzhou came again, along with the broken soldiers from Yangling Pass.

The messenger is Fangzhou Biejia, this cannot be faked.

"Yang Ni's subordinates attacked frantically to contain them. 2000 people found a path out of nowhere and crossed Yangling Pass..."

Yang Songcheng's body relaxed and fell silent.

Inside the hall, there was a dead silence.

Yangling Pass is lost.

The gates of Shu land were also opened.

Fangzhou... Even if Fangzhou can block it, after entering Yangling Pass, the Chang'an army will have more choices.They can attack Fangzhou, or they can choose to detour and attack from other places.

That is to say, after entering Yangling Pass, if you block it, you will definitely not be able to block it.

Li Mi sat on it blankly.

Han Shitou coughed dryly, "Your Majesty, Yizhou still has tens of thousands of troops loyal to His Majesty, why worry?"

"Yes!" The emperor came to his senses and said, "Order all places to guard against death. In addition, Yizhou has stepped up its guard. Let's go!"

The emperor hurried away.

The footsteps of the officials were extremely slow.

Zhang Huan called Zheng Yuandong over, "What do you think of the battle situation below?"

"If the Chang'an army wants to be quick, it must attack Fangzhou. If you are not in a hurry, you can take a detour and attack from multiple directions. However, it is late autumn, and the weather will be cold if it continues, which is not conducive to the army's attack. Therefore, the old man thinks that the Chang'an army will probably attack. Focus on Fangzhou."

"Fangzhou is not easy to fight!"

"Yes! After all, Shu Dao is there."

"Then, this year should be able to survive!"

"Yes!"

Li Mi hurriedly went to see Li Yuan.

The Supreme Emperor was drinking, and since he learned that the Chang'an army was attacking, he spent almost every day in a state of drunkenness.

"Come on, what time?" Li Yuan pointed to his lower head.

Li Mi sat down and looked at him with one hand resting on his chin, "How many more days do you think you can enjoy like this?"

Li Yuan chuckled, "It's worth living at this age. By the way, you're pretending to be calm, but something big happened?"

The maid brought him a piece of old bacon.

Li Yuan chewed, the juice overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he sucked it.

"Yangling Pass, lost."

Li Yuan paused for a moment, and oil spilled from the corner of his mouth again.

"Suck!"

He sucked in the juice, chewed hard, faster and faster, and finally swallowed.

"That bastard is coming."

"Correct."

"Can you hold it?"

"After passing Yangling Pass, not to mention that it extends in all directions, but there are also small paths leading to other places, which can bypass Fangzhou. Then, we will come to Yizhou."

"No." Li Yuan put down his wine glass, "Even if there is a small path, the large army consumes so much food and grass every day. How can the small path be used for carts? Can that evil army not eat or drink?"

Li Bi's eyes were calm, "He only needs to travel lightly with thousands of cavalry. Yizhou is rich and the surrounding area is full of food and grass."

"Destroy them!"

Li Yuan looked at his son anxiously.

"Ah! Destroy them!"

Li Mi shook his head, "Once that wicked man is found outside Yizhou, people in the city will be panicked. At that time, my only choice is to close the city gates tightly. Otherwise, someone will sacrifice the city in the next moment."

But outside the city, you can only let your opponent gallop.

"Is there no way?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Mi thought for a while, "Unless he can recognize you as an uncle."

"Then recognize your cousin?"

"He's coming!" Li Yuan's face turned pale, "Brother, your son is coming."

"You really let me down!"

Li Mi came to ask for advice, but unexpectedly Li Yuan collapsed.

He got up and went out, suddenly said: "Give him a glass of poisonous wine!"

Behind him, Han Shitou raised his head, "Your Majesty, if the Supreme Emperor is poisoned, once...that person will vent all his anger on His Majesty."

Li Bi was startled, turned around to look at Han Shitou, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "You who can still be loyal to me at this moment! If you can escape this disaster, I will let you enter the court!"

Han Shitou bowed his head, "I only hope that Your Majesty will be safe."

At least, before the little master captures you, save the lives of you and your old dog father.

"it is good!"

Li Mi was obviously moved, he looked up and looked inside.

Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "So, keep an eye on him."

Han Shitou said seriously: "Who wants to do something to the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty, unless he kills the servants first!"
