In the city of Chang'an, the new emperor ascended the throne and celebrated the whole city.

And Liu Mu has left Chang'an thousands of miles away, and he is sitting in the carriage complaining about the hard road and the bumpy road.

"Be content." Cui Yiye, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, was very dissatisfied with Liu Mu's complaints.

Gao Cheng also said: "Generals have always been allowed to bring domestic servants when they go on expeditions, and the chores in the army are completed by their own soldiers. Don't say it's a servant, even bring a concubine, and complain, this is intolerable. ”

"Going out, who's on the march. Two of spades, it's your turn. Liu Mu threw down a card and urged the two to play it.

"Scoundrel!" Cui Yiye also said in unison.

"Let's not call this an expedition, I'm just going to Zhongshou City for a turn, the matter of war has nothing to do with me, and the matter of negotiation has nothing to do with me. So it's not an expedition, and you can't be mistaken, otherwise the imperial history will make trouble for me. Liu Mu deliberately emphasized his action to the north this time.

Cui Yiye stopped talking and threw down two ghosts.

Gao Cheng said at this time: "Although it is only half a day to return to Chang'an, I heard one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Feng Lao committed suicide."

Liu Mu put down the cards in his hand and sighed silently. I only heard Gao Cheng say again: "The nickname is Miao." ”

Liu Mu then said, "Do you know the reason? ”

Miao is a bad name, this word as a nickname, there is a name that does not match the meaning of the truth, and it is already a name that has been stinky for thousands of years.

Gao Cheng asked Liu Mu: "Do you know the reason?" ”

"I don't know." Yanagi shook his head.

Gao Cheng wanted to ask again, but Cui Yiye stopped him: "What do you say about those things, continue to play cards." ”

The reason why Gao Cheng wanted to ask was that Feng Deyi and his father were both scholars of the Qin Palace, and they had also instructed themselves in learning. This nickname was strange, and Gao Cheng wanted to know why, and he was sure that Yanagi must know.

Cui Yiye didn't let Gao Cheng ask, and he understood that it was better not to listen to the reason.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to change Feng Deyi's nickname from Ming to fallacious, which shows that there must be a hidden secret, and it is a big hidden secret, so don't ask.

A few days later, Shuofangdong County Suizhou.

Li Jing was somewhat surprised by Liu Mu's arrival, but he already knew what happened in Chang'an City. After all, Di Bao ran much faster than Liu Mu.

"You're running here to avoid the courtiers?" Li Jing asked Liu Mu.

"No, I don't need to hide from them, I'm just working hard for the saints. You know I was floating on the boat for more than 40 days, and then I didn't even touch the bed board in Chang'an, so I came north. This kind of hard work should not be publicized and let many officials learn from it. ”

Liu Mu's mouth was not serious, and Li Jing didn't say much, seeing Su Shichang behind him, he hurried over to greet him.

Entering Slow Zhou, Li Jing had already arranged a residence for everyone.

Liu Mu said to Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai behind him: "You guys have a good night's rest for a night, and you can run an errand tomorrow morning." Go to the outside of the surrender city, and plant a flag outside the city of Huaishuo to tell them that I am coming. That's it. ”

"Yes." Xue Rengui nodded.

Xi Junmai asked, "This time, is there a battle?" ”

"Possibly!" Liu Mu gave an uncertain answer and waved his hand: "Don't bother me, I want to sleep for three days and three nights in one breath, you people don't know how much I miss the bed board." After saying that, Liu Mu didn't even participate in the dust washing banquet, and when he returned to the house, he really fell asleep.

At the dust washing banquet, Li Jing asked Su Shichang: "Duke Su, what will the sage give you?" ”

"Just said that let me wait here, and then when the time is right, Liu Juma will hand over the holy decree and the official document of the three provinces to the old man, and before receiving the holy decree and the official document of the three provinces, the old man will rest and wait here."

Su Shichang was woken up in his sleep in the middle of the night, only saying that he had urgent business, and then asked him to get into the carriage and go north.

He didn't see Li Yuan at all, and the orders he received were still given by Li Yuan.

Li Jing called Gao Cheng over again.

This time, without waiting for Li Jing to ask Gao Cheng, he said: "I don't know anything, I just went home and was about to rest, when I was woken up by the internal attendant who came to the house, and I got into the carriage without even bringing a piece of luggage." However, Liu Juma brought enough maids and guards to protect him, and even brought a few boxes of snacks on the road. ”

Li Jing was confused, he received the holy decree and it was still Li Yuan's, and then in the palace newspaper he knew that the new emperor had ascended the throne.

The share that Li Yuan gave him only said that he should act according to the plan and count it at the willow wood.

Whether to ask, or not to ask, Li Jing thought for a long time and decided not to ask for the time being until Liu Mu himself spoke.

However, Li Jing instructed everyone here to prepare for war.

On the same day, Shuofang Dongjun saw cooking smoke everywhere, and began to burn Tang Qin cakes, that is, particularly thick pot helmets.

The willow wood was sleeping in the house, but the qin was very interested in taking people out hunting.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, Toyosu Castle in Shuofang West County, which is also the location of the West Surrender Castle.

It was the third time that the bell for the emergency assembly had been ringed in the night. Li Zhengbao and Feng Rui, the generals under the command of Liang Shidu, led people to stand at the head of the city, and they couldn't hear the bell of the emergency assembly at all.

"He's afraid he's crazy, since he heard the flag outside the city yesterday, he's crazy." Feng Rui's face was bitter, and he could feel that the army's heart was already in chaos. He in Feng Rui's mouth is Liang Shidu.

Li Zhengbao said: "He's not crazy, he's just scared." ”

Feng Rui asked again: "Why didn't the Tang people surrender?" Hearing this, Li Zhengbao turned his head to look at Feng Rui, and then turned his head to look into the distance: "Perhaps, the Tang people are already surrendering." ”

Feng Rui also began to ponder, and what Li Zhengbao said made sense.

Li Zhengbao said again: "Why don't you and I arrange it and let me go in person." One day and one night can be back. ”

"Don't worry, wait, it's not enough for you and me, I'll get in touch and wait for me for two more days." Feng Rui looked at his entourage and cronies around him: "What do you mean?" ”

"With the general. But the last general thinks that there is no heavy treasure to descend like this, and I am afraid that even if it falls, it will be a human being. ”

"Yes." Feng Rui agreed.

Li Zhengbao said: "You and I must have one person go to the Tang camp in person, and we can only go alone." I can't wait any longer, there is a detailed report, the Tang people are preparing military rations. I thought that the surrendered city was a heavy treasure, and I had a cousin there, open the city gate to let the Tang army in, or poison the Turkic military camp. ”

Feng Rui turned his head to look at the city: "Perhaps, there is still a treasure." ”

"Yes." Li Zhengbao recognized this choice, Liang Shidu's head is indeed a treasure.

At that moment, the two began to prepare separately, but Li Zhengbao drew a defense map of Shuofang East County, and Feng Rui went to contact the generals who had the intention of surrendering to Tang.
