Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 124 Don't go the wrong way
The next day, Li Shuliang and Zhou Chao led [-] elite soldiers and horses, bypassed Jushui, and headed towards Nanyang.

Seeing off Li Shuliang, Zheng Yuanxuan was full of sorrow. He wrote to the prince, hoping that the prince would stop King Changping from taking action, but the prince not only did not stop him, but also allowed him to properly cooperate with King Changping to attack Zhu Can.

Although he didn't understand, he still acted according to his words.But now, he can't understand the development of things, or the thinking of King Changping.

Yu Yongning beside him was completely silent, he was not optimistic about King Changping's surprise attack plan at all.

What is "Xue Ju who defeated like this", can this be the same?

"Emissary Zheng, we must urge the King of Lujiang to lead the reinforcements to come to support as soon as possible, otherwise the King of Changping will be in danger."

"Yes, indeed."

After the two returned to the camp, they immediately sent someone to return to the pass quickly, and informed the king of Lujiang to speed up the march.

Ten thousand soldiers and horses marching, no matter how careful they are, as long as the scouts do a little careful reconnaissance, they can find the traces.

A day later, Zhu Can knew about Tang Jun's change.

In the camp, Zhu Can, who was facing the ferocity, was picking his teeth, and two women knelt tremblingly at his feet.The jade plate in the woman's hand contained unknown cooked meat.

"It's still a child's meat, tender and fragrant!"

After Zhu Can had a delicious meal, she patted the bright light armor on her body, adjusted her helmet, and stood up slowly.He was a tall and thin man, with an inexplicable yin energy on his body, and the combination of facial features gave him an inexplicable ferocity.

Perhaps, this has something to do with his notoriety as an ogre king.

"Your Majesty, the scouts discovered that Tang Jun had bypassed Jushui, where would they go?"

The person who spoke was Zhu Can's 'General', but the general's clothes were very shabby, far less beautiful than Zhu Can's armor.

In fact, Zhu Can's set of Mingguang armor was bought for nothing when he was in the Sui army.

For the generals under his command, it is not bad to have a cloth armor to wear.

"How does I know where they are going?" Zhu Can rolled his eyes, "No matter what, I must beat Tang Jun back to Wuguan for me today. After I finished eating meat, I have to go back to Nanyang and search to see if there are any survivors."

"Yes."

Another war broke out in Jutan, but this time it was Zhu Can's army who attacked and Tang army who defended.

Without King Changping of Crouching Dragon, Zheng Yuanxuan and Yu Yongning relied on the defense of the camp, so it was for Zhu Can to do it.

However, Zheng Yuanxuan and Yu Yongning did not relax because of this.Because they knew that as long as Zhu Can continued to attack desperately, they wouldn't last long.

Jingzhao and Lantian.

Li Yuan, king of Lujiang, once followed Li Zhiyun to the Shannan Road, and the two of them were considered casual acquaintances.Li Yuan has been staying in Chang'an since Shannan Road came back from Gilding. He thought that he would only have the chance to go out with others to get rich. He never expected that the Crown Prince would give him a great opportunity!

Yunyang Army!
Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, has a direct line of soldiers and horses. He knew this army when he was in Shannan Road. In terms of combat power, it can definitely be regarded as a powerful army of the Tang Dynasty.

The prince's exhortation is still in his ears, so he dare not forget it all the time.

As long as he can stabilize, he will become the new master of this army!
Therefore, his marching speed was very slow, and he walked cautiously.It took seven or eight days to pass through Lantian without leaving the customs.

"At this marching speed, the bastards in Qujiangchi can walk faster than us."

Behind, Duan Zhixuan complained.

Xue Shou was thinking about why Li Yuan walked so slowly, but now he was interrupted by Duan Zhixuan and started to think about another question.

The bastard in Qujiangchi doesn't seem to be walking fast.

"General Duan, be safe and don't be impatient." Xue Shou comforted for a while, holding the rein with one hand, and stretching out the other hand, pointing at Li Yuan's soldiers not far away.

"General Duan, what do you think of the Lujiang King's soldiers?"

After observing for a while, Duan Zhixuan found that they were full of smiles and showed no pruning by the Yunyang Army. He was suddenly angry, "They are loose and have no military appearance. They should be punished for standing up."

Zhan Zhuang is a unique punishment method of the Yunyang Army. Li Zhiyun combined the advantages of standing in the military posture and the wooden dummy of Shaolin Temple to punish Yunyang Army soldiers who violated military discipline.

Xue Shou said in a low voice: "Looking at the people around him, you can tell the commander. Those soldiers are so lazy, I'm afraid the King of Lujiang is also very relaxed. This is somewhat different from the purpose of our trip."

Duan Zhixuan's heart moved, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

"The marching speed is so slow, I'm afraid there is a universe inside."

Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan rubbed his chin and said in a low voice: "That's fine, we can just wait for the king's reply."

Another day passed, and the army arrived at Lantian Pass.

At this time, Li Qiang also caught up with the Yunyang Army and secretly contacted Duan Zhixuan.

"General Duan, of these two letters, one is for you and Xue Canjun, and the other is for you alone. His Majesty's instructions are all in the letter."

Li Qiang took out two letters and handed them to Duan Zhixuan.

Although Duan Zhixuan didn't know why the king gave him a separate letter, but Li Qiang specifically mentioned it, which made him feel that the matter was not simple.

After reading the two letters, Duan Zhixuan's face suddenly became very solemn.

"Brother Li, does your majesty have anything else to tell me?"

Li Qiang said: "Your Majesty said, whether the Yunyang Army is still the Yunyang Army or not, it's all about General Duan. General Duan Wanwang is careful."

Duan Zhixuan nodded solemnly, "Please tell Your Majesty, Duan Zhixuan will definitely do his best to act according to what His Majesty said in his letter. If he fails, he should die to atone for his sin."

"General Duan is serious."

Li Qiang's status is sensitive and he cannot stay in the army for a long time, so he left the army immediately after delivering the letter.

And Duan Zhixuan found Xue Shou with the postcard.

"Xue Gong, this is sent by the king, please take a look."

king?

Xue received the letter and read it carefully.

"General Duan, can the messenger be trusted?"

"Don't worry, the messenger is absolutely credible."

"Okay." Xue Shou nodded, clutching the letter, and said, "Your Majesty hopes that we can help him regain control of the Yunyang Army. Does General Duan have a solution?"

"Yes." Duan Zhixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xue Shou, and said softly: "I thought about it and thought that only by getting rid of Li Yuan can the king come back."

"General Duan, it's wrong to kill people, he's from the clan!" Xue Shou was surprised.

Duan Zhixuan rolled his eyes, he said he wanted to get rid of Li Yuan, but he never said he wanted to kill Li Yuan.

"You're thinking wrong. When did I say that I would kill people? What I mean is, let's find a way to make Li Yuan unable to stay on his own, or make him have to leave."

Xue Shou pondered slightly, "It's not easy, Li Yuan was sent by a saint after all."

"No, Your Majesty guessed in the letter that behind Li Yuan, the crown prince may be supporting him, and he should be sent by the crown prince." Duan Zhixuan stared at Xue Shou's face, unwilling to let go of a single detail.

Xue Shou frowned, and said: "Your Majesty's guess may be correct. Without the crown prince's support, Li Yuan's ability is not enough to command an army."

Duan Zhixuan sighed: "This matter is really troublesome. If we get rid of Li Yuan, I'm afraid we will offend the crown prince."

Xue Shou was silent.

Seeing that he was silent, the corner of Duan Zhixuan's eyes gradually turned cold.

Old Xue, you must not go the wrong way, or don't blame Duan for turning his face and refusing to recognize anyone!

Thinking of the content of the letter that the king gave him alone, Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to put away the feelings he had with Xue Shou in the past.

Perhaps, Xue Shou will survive today, but some things will never return to the past.
