Han Shi'e was General Hu Benlang of Zuohou Wei, and he was in charge of [-] regiments of soldiers and horses, and Liu Ziqiu's regiment was also in his charge.Since Han Shi'e didn't fight this battle, it meant that Liu Ziqiu and the others didn't need to go to the battlefield.

Just as Liu Ziqiu thought of this, he heard Han Shi'er say again: "Mr. Han has already resigned on the pretext of illness, and someone will take over Mr. Han's position soon."

Li Jing frowned and said, "Shi'er, you're so nice, why do you want to resign?"

But Liu Ziqiu had already figured it out, and said, "Brother Han is for Miss Hou."

Yang Xuangan rebelled on the way to the west, and the world will inevitably be in chaos. Maybe Yang Guang will die on the road, and Han Shi'er stays in Luoyang, and he can take the opportunity to rescue Hou Susu.

Han Shi'er sighed, and said, "Thinking that my Han family has received national grace, if it wasn't for Susu, how could Han go this way."

If the new Zuohou Wei Hu Benlang will be a member of the Yang family, then Liu Ziqiu will be in danger. Li Jing couldn't help becoming nervous, and asked, "Shi Er, who will take your place, do you have any news?"

Han Shi'e shook his head and said, "Yang Guang must have made a decision, but it hasn't been announced yet. However, according to Han's guess, it should not be from the Yang family."

Li Jing asked puzzled, "How can you be sure?"

Han Shi'e hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yang Wanxiang came to me last night and asked me to find an opportunity in a few days to end Brother Liu. If the successor is someone close to the Yang family, he doesn't have to." So anxious."

On the one hand, he is a family friend, the second generation of the same official, and on the other hand, is Li Jing's sworn brother, who even sacrificed his life to help him. Han Shi'er is also in a dilemma.

Li Jing had already calmed down, and said: "In this way, this person is not easy to deal with with the Yang family. In Luoyang City, I am afraid that there are only people from the Yuwen family."

Liu Ziqiu was not clear about the complicated official situation, but he believed in Li Jing's judgment, nodded, and said, "Brother, Brother Han, you don't have to worry. As long as Liu strictly observes military discipline, they will find no reason to punish Liu." A certain crime. But once there is chaos, Luoyang will be the first to bear the brunt. My sister-in-law has a body, but she must be careful, why not send her to Jiangnan first, I don’t know what the elder brother thinks?"

Seeing that Li Jing was still hesitating, Liu Ziqiu turned to Han Shi'e and said, "Liu thought that Yang Xuangan's plan would not succeed. Brother Han must not get too deep. If you save Miss Hou, you can go to Jiangnan to avoid it together."

Li Jing is also not optimistic about Yang Xuangan, nodded and said: "Your brother is right. Yang Xuangan is brave and proud. He may succeed at the beginning, but he will fail after a long time. The world should make plans early. It's just whether to go to Jiangnan, please allow Li Discuss with Zhuo Jing."

Liu Ziqiu got up suddenly, cupped his hands and said, "I'll tell you the truth, brother, I'm also planning a big deal, but I don't dare to say anything about it before the time comes. Big brother will come to Changshan Village someday and see a Mr. Wei, so he'll know if he asks about it. As for the livelihood , Brother, don’t worry, little brother now has Jiangnan Xie’s family to help.”

Now that Han Shi'e has revealed the secret, Liu Ziqiu doesn't have to hide it too much. I believe Han Shi'e will not report it. At most, everyone has different opinions and is on guard against each other.

At this moment, Zhang Chuchen walked in and said angrily, "Pharmacist, what are you all doing with such a stern face, come here, drink some wine, and talk about some happy things, brother Liu has to rush back to the barracks at night Woolen cloth."

……

The corporal commander was not considered an officer, and Liu Ziqiu was just an ordinary soldier, who didn't enjoy the treatment of going home for the New Year. He drank a few glasses of wine in a hurry, and left Luoyang City before the sun set.Back at the barracks, the soldiers of the whole regiment had just finished slaughtering pigs and sheep.Now, Liu Ziqiu has become the backbone of the soldiers. If he doesn't come back, no one will eat.

For the next few days, Liu Ziqiu would go out early and return late every day, with a sharp knife in his pocket, guarding outside Yang's residence, hoping to find another opportunity to teach that Yang Jishan a lesson.But the Yang family was heavily guarded, Yang Jishan never showed up, and Liu Ziqiu returned in vain.Until the sixth day of the first lunar month, the officers who went home for the New Year came back one after another, and the barracks became tense for a while, so Liu Ziqiu had to give up this plan.

Although the discipline of the barracks has become stricter, no large-scale drills have been organized, and even small-scale drills of their group have been banned, Liu Ziqiu can't help but feel worried.

Gui Haiqiu said indifferently: "Don't worry, according to the old rules, the practice will not start until after the Lantern Festival."

The Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival in later generations, was the most lively major festival in that era, even surpassing the New Year.In Luoyang city, even the imperial city will be open all night, allowing the common people to enjoy the beauty of the palace city up close, and Shanglin Xiyuan is covered with colorful lights early in the morning.The government agencies at all levels of the imperial court will only start working one after another after the Shangyuan Festival.

However, this year's situation is different from previous years.Just after the Shangyuan Festival, that is, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Guang suddenly gave the order to set off.In addition to the 30 government soldiers conscripted from various places, Yang Guang also dispatched 20 Beijing army guards. The 50 troops left the station in mighty force and headed west.

The Suwei of the Beijing Army is actually also composed of government soldiers drawn from various places, but they have been stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang for a long time. They are well-equipped and well-trained, so they have become the main force of the army.

Whether it is the local government soldiers or the Beijing Army Suwei, they are actually under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Guards.But Yang Guang was suspicious by nature, and did not organize the army according to the organizational system of each guard.For example, the regiment Liu Ziqiu was in belonged to the Zuo Houwei, and their task was to transport food, grass and luggage.Those who transported food, grass and luggage with them included soldiers and horses from the Left Marquis Guard, and soldiers and horses from the Right Marquis Guard, the Left and Right Guards, and the Left and Right Martial Guards. The only thing they had in common was that they were all from the local government soldiers.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first, but a common saying does not mean that when fighting a war, the troops transporting food and grass need to go ahead, it just shows the importance of food and grass, and it needs to be prepared early.On the contrary, in most cases, this unit is the last one.Because this is the safest way to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

Although Liu Ziqiu's troops are ready to go, they need to wait for other troops to go first.A row of soldiers and horses lined up neatly, with flags and flags unfurled, in an endless stream, rolling westward, with no end in sight.

I don't know who shouted: "Look, General Yuwen is here!"

I saw the handsome flag fluttering, with the words "Yuwen" written in big characters, a cavalry in black came surging forward, and the marching government soldiers gave way to both sides of the road.This is a truly elite force.

In the lead are three thousand armored knights, tall and majestic horses, all wearing iron armor, outer battle robes, riding bows on their shoulders, short knives on their waists, carved feathers clearly visible in the cowhide quiver, and red tasseled spears in their hands. The tip of the gun flickered coldly.

Under the banner, there is a general, wearing heavy armor, complete with gill protectors and neck protectors, covering his whole body tightly, only revealing a pair of majestic and majestic eyes. From a distance, it looks like a god.Liu Ziqiu knew that this person was Yang Guang's most trusted Zuowei General Yu Wenshu.It's a pity that he was wrapped up too tightly, until he passed in front of Liu Ziqiu, Liu Ziqiu didn't see his face clearly, only remembered those sharp eyes.

Behind the armored knights, there are teams of infantry, spearmen, sword shieldmen, and crossbowmen.It made Liu Ziqiu and the others, who were dressed in messy armor and armed with all kinds of weapons, feel ashamed.

Immediately afterwards, several troops passed by. Although they were not as powerful as Yu Wenshu's Zuowei Jing army, it could be seen that they were all well-trained elite soldiers.

Only then did Liu Ziqiu understand that it was no wonder that 30 of them gathered here. The imperial court neither organized drills nor rewarded the soldiers. It turned out that Yang Guang didn't intend to let them go to the front at all, but just used them as coolies for transportation.

Suddenly, the team started commotion again. In the distance, a yellow canopy slowly approached. This was Yang Guang's car.Wherever the car passed, the shouts of "Long live, long live" were like mountains and tsunami.Liu Ziqiu waved the weapons in his hands with everyone, while searching for the driver with his eyes.It's just that Yang Guang guarded himself very tightly, surrounded by hundreds of guards, he didn't see anything.

Behind Yang Guang's car, there were dozens of Chinese cars, and the accompanying concubines and palace ladies were riding in the cars.On the first Chinese car, a beautiful woman sat on it, turning her head to look at both sides from time to time, and smiling brightly at the soldiers of the three armies.The woman's expression was calm and graceful, and with Liu Ziqiu's eyesight, it was difficult to judge her actual age.However, from the whispers of the surrounding soldiers, Liu Ziqiu knew that this person was Empress Xiao.

Behind Yang Guang's car, a large number of soldiers and horses passed by.These are the old guards of the Beijing army, the real combat troops, and they walked for two hours.At this time, the soldiers of the local government army also knew the target of the military use.

Hua Yun threw the long lance in his hand into the grain truck, and sighed: "I thought I would have a chance to show my skills, and I could go back and let my father take credit for my position. Who knew that the imperial court dispatched so many people at once. The entire Tuyuhun Men and women together, probably no more than 20 people. The Beijing army is too many for each of them, so there is no need for us to go to battle, I am afraid it will be a waste of time."

Gui Haiqiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. From here to Guanlong, the journey is fairly peaceful. Although the ice and snow haven't melted, the official road is barely passable. After passing Longxi, it will be difficult. "

While speaking, Liu Yu suddenly waved his horsewhip and said loudly: "Brothers, cheer up for XX, Yu Wenlang will call for soldiers soon!"

Liu Ziqiu's heart stopped, and Han Shi'e's successor was indeed a member of the Yuwen family.It is said that after the year, this general Yu Wenlang should take office.But more than ten days have passed, Liu Ziqiu has never seen him, and he is not a person who really knows how to lead troops.One general is incompetent, and the whole army is exhausted. It is really not a good thing to meet such a good general.

Not far away, more than a dozen horsemen came slowly, surrounded by a general.Liu Ziqiu looked up, his face was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.
