When more than 1,000 cavalry stepped into the boundary of Zhending County, it was already dark. Li Bo walked a few steps quickly on his horse and said to Li Anmin: "Dad, I've been running for most of the day, and everyone is tired, it's time to rest."

Li Anmin turned his head, looked at the soldier who looked a little tired, and nodded.

"Tell everybody to rest for an hour and then get on your way."

The order was given, more than a thousand knights cheered, they threw off their saddles and dismounted, there was a stream not far from the avenue, the soldiers led their horses, first went to the stream to wash their horses, after a busy meal, then let the horses chew freely in the grass on the side, and they themselves sat on the ground, took out the dry food from their arms, and ate with water.

Li Bo looked at his father with some apprehension as he nibbled on dry food.

"Dad, is it really appropriate for us to do this?"

Looking at Li Bo, who was a little unwilling, Li Anmin was silent for a while, and said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, the matter has been done, then you must do it to the end, giving up halfway is a taboo in doing things."

Li Bo lowered his head and suddenly slammed his fist into the ground.

"You're feeling sick?" LI Anmin said.

"Dad, can I be comfortable? You don't know how much humiliation I suffered during the days when I was captured by Wang Feng, especially after Wang Mingren died under Zhending City, I really wish I would die like this, at least there is a posthumous name. What am I now? Li Bo said hatefully: "This time we attacked Dingzhou, it was supposed to be the best time for me to wash away my shame, but now in this way, I have not gone away from the old shame, and I have added new hatred."

Li Anmin smiled, "You don't want to think about it, if it wasn't for my father and them to reach this agreement, would you be able to come back?" ”

Li Bo's face darkened.

"But we deliberately leaked a section of the defense line and let Yeluyuan's cavalry pass, so that You Yong is now in a dilemma, I am afraid that we will offend You Yong to death." LI Bodao.

"There's no way around it." Li Anmin said: "You also know that this time we are a soldier, do you know what a soldier's advice is?" If you do it well, it's admonishment, and if you don't do it well, it's a bloody battle. Although Wang Sili has agreed to join forces with us, even if your uncle's personal guard battalion does not have Chengde wolf cavalry, it is also the most elite army in Chengde. If You Yong is not contained, if he returns to the division desperately, it will be a mess."

"I'm afraid that Lu Longren and that Wang Feng are more hopeful, right? If our actions go wrong this time, they can also deliberately let You Yong come back and let us kill each other. They're going to pick up the bargain again! Li Bodao.

Li Anmin smiled: "Don't worry, we're not fools either. If we are not 100% sure, how can we act rashly? Your uncle is really terminally ill, and in the city, in fact, people are already panicking, Suning has already sent someone to sneak to the city, and has already encouraged his sister to stand up."

"Isn't my aunt also sick?"

"Your aunt is more of a problem in her head." Li Anmin pointed to his brain. Laughing. Now that your uncle is bedridden and dying, your aunt will take Li Yuan to the lobby for a while, and he will naturally be able to calm down."

Li Bo looked at his father for a long time before he said, "Dad, I don't understand, why are we doing this?" Is it because you want to do this knot? Yuan'er is still young, isn't she? But we are killing each other like this, in the end, whether you can take advantage of your wishes is still a question, in my opinion, the Lulong people are afraid that they want to support Suning even more."

Li Anmin sneered: "Bo'er, it's not wrong for me to be the envoy of this festival. The eldest brother is gone, why can Li Ze's little cub be on the throne? I've been working hard with my eldest brother for decades, so why can't I do it? Suning, Zhang Zhongwu likes him? Besides, Chengde's surname is Li, once the eldest brother is gone, those subordinates of his, Suning can be suppressed and subdued? ”

Li Bo hung his head and said nothing.

"Besides, Boer, this is not just a question I want to go further, this is also related to the survival of our Chengde!" Li Anmin's words are serious and authentic.

Li Bo looked at his father puzzled: "Dad, I only see that once things don't go well, our Chengde will really be in danger of ruin."

Li Anmin reached out and touched Li Bo's head: "It seems that in the past few months since you were arrested, you have thought about a lot of things, and you have grown a lot compared to before, but you still haven't gone any further."

"And ask Daddy for advice."

"You have fought with Lu Longjun, tell me, how is Lu Longjun's combat effectiveness?"

Li Bo said with some heaviness: "We fought against Shi Yi's Yingzhou army, and it was indeed a strong army, and even their government soldiers were extremely strong."

"Exactly!" Li Anmin sighed: "Gao Yu has been defeated by Zhang Zhongwu, and even Daizhou has been lost, seeing that Zhang Zhongwu is about to sweep the north, and with Li Che's death, your eldest uncle is bound to die with Lu Longren to the end. This will only drag us into the abyss. Even if Li Ze was on top, he would do the same. Because as the son of the eldest brother, his eldest brother died at the hands of the Lu Long people, and his father also died because of it. ”

"Didn't you say that Brother Che was killed by Li Ze?" Li Bo said in surprise.

"Who knows? But on the bright side, Li Che's death at the hands of Lu Longren is irrefutable. Li Ze ascended to the throne, even for the sake of his own reputation, he would raise this banner and fight Lu Longren to the end, but in this way, Chengde would inevitably be dragged to death by him. Therefore, Chengde must change a master to change the most basic policy, and Zhang Zhongwu certainly understands this truth, after all, if Chengde really dies with him, even if they can win, they will destroy Zhang Zhongwu's overall layout and delay his speed of dominating the northern land."

"Is there so much attention to here?" Li Bo said in shock.

Li Anmin smiled: "What do you think? Nothing is as simple as you think."

"Now that Li Ze is about to take Henghai, how can he rest with us at that time?" Li Bo shook his head and said, "When the time comes, our Li family will definitely still kill each other."

"When your father is really in power, let's think about this matter! In any case, we can't write two Li Lai in one stroke, and we still have some discussions with Li Ze." Li Anmin said: "He's not stupid, that place in Henghai is now so poor that Li Ze is only afraid that the top priority is to stabilize his rule in Henghai instead of fighting us, right?" ”

"What if Suning wants to fight then?"

"If Suning wants to fight, he will fight! As long as he can beat it." Li Anmin sneered.

"Chengde Sizhou, this time I went to Yizhou, Shenzhou, is this still Chengde?" Li Bo was saddened.

"The essence of Chengde, in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, as long as these two places are in our hands, our strength will not be discounted, Shenzhou will be ours sooner or later, as for Yizhou, let's go and see, if Li Ze is willing to talk to us, then it doesn't hurt to give it to him, no matter what, it is also my nephew!"

"I hope Li Ze can appreciate your hard work." LI Bodao.

"As long as you are a smart person, you will definitely not refuse my proposal when the time comes." Li Anmin laughed and stood up, "I've been running for a day, let's rest for a while, I'll have to hurry later!" ”

Li Bo nodded.

The father and son closed their eyes and were about to take a nap, when in the night, there was a sudden burst of singing, and the two of them opened their eyes in amazement and stood up.

In fact, it wasn't just the two of them who stood up, but all the cavalry who were still resting just now also stood up and looked in the direction where the song came from.

The voice is very old, and it is far from beautiful, but it is an ancient ballad of Chengde, and the story of the song is the story of the two brothers helping each other and overcoming the crisis together.

At this moment, but suddenly heard such a singing, whether it was Li Anmin or Li Bo, of course, they would not think that it was accidental. In the darkness, there was the sound of hooves.

One by one, the torches were lit, and a few were still in the direction from which the song came.

Under the reflection of the firelight, a man and a donkey came leisurely. The person on the donkey, with his back to Li Anmin, was still riding the donkey upside down.

Li Anmin had already recognized the person who came, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Why is Mr. Gongsun pretending to be a ghost and learning from Zhang Guo to ride a donkey upside down?" Not afraid of falling down and falling half to death? ”

Gongsun Changming laughed and turned around on the donkey, pointed at Li Anmin and said, "Li Er, Li Er, I hurried here to save your life, but you are not inferior, this is too hurtful."

Li Anmin's heart shook violently, and Li Bo behind him changed his face greatly.

Gongsun Changming jumped off the donkey, walked up to Li Anmin, shook his head and said, "Li Er, Li Er, how many years have you followed your eldest brother?" But you don't know him at all! Do you really think he knows nothing about your actions? ”

"You, you, you, you ......" Li Anmin pointed at Gongsun Changming, and it was difficult to speak.

"Li Er, that is, because your surname is Li, so, at the end of the day, your eldest brother finally relented. is also your surname Li, so my husband and grandson are also willing to make this trip." Gongsun Changming shook his head and said: "Suning is finished, not only Suning is finished, but this time Fei Zhong, who thinks he is smart, will also fall into your eldest brother's trap. What do you think? Do you still want to go to Zhending? ”

Li Anmin took a few steps back and hissed, "You intimidate me? ”

"If you don't believe me, the way is here!" Gongsun Changming pointed to the way he came, "But this time, you can't go back. Li Er, in the ancestral temple of the Li family, there will be no more places for you in the future."

Li Anmin's body trembled violently, just now he was still talking to Li Bo about what strategic height, but in the blink of an eye, reality gave him a hard slap.
