"Set off!"

The weather was fine that day, and the emperor set off with his rested army.

Less than five miles outside Fangzhou, there is a vast plain ahead.

"This is the land of abundance!" Han Ji praised.

On the endless fields, there is slight water vapor transpiration, forming a mist, which looks like a dream.

A few children boldly watched the march of the army from the side of the road. After realizing that there was no threat, they ran with them.

This scene reminded the emperor of his own childhood. He pointed to the children and said: "When I was a child, when I saw the tax collector entering the village, I followed him happily, thinking that it was another world."

Children have a novel attitude towards the whole world, which is why they are so energetic.

Because the world is brand new to them.

Han Ji smiled and said: "I am now old, and I feel that this world is like my old wife. Even if I hold her hand, it feels like I am holding my own hand."

The army marched all the way, and it was night and they camped outside.

"Your Majesty, there is something good!"

The loyal dog Uda brought a wild boar.

"Where did it come from?" asked the emperor.

The wild boar was alive. It weighed a hundred pounds and was being carried by two guards. It was twisting and struggling, making miserable screams.

"Bought from the common people."

"Have you given money?" the emperor asked.

"The villain gave me an extra penny." Wu Da did not dare to disobey the emperor's order.

"It's just that the man said that the wild pig meat here is smelly, tough and difficult to handle."

"I'm coming."

The emperor ordered two large clay pots to be brought in. He killed the wild boar first, cut it open, and kept the belly and liver... He also cut the tender meat from the waist and ribs, boiled it with water, and added the ingredients to stew it.

cook.

"Eat it tomorrow morning."

It is said to be eaten tomorrow morning, but the liver is edible. After slicing it, add some seasonings, and finally pour some vinegar, tsk tsk!

The emperor had pig liver and ate three cakes in one go. Qin Ze, who was serving him, had his eyelids twitching.

"Fortunately He'er and Laoer are not here." The emperor ate slowly.

Under the setting sun, smoke and birds were seen in the sky above the military camp. Those who had eaten well were still eating, and those who had a big appetite were still eating.

Pei Jian and others sat together, eating and discussing.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss about the upcoming battle, it is just one word: reckless!

But the emperor wanted the puppet emperor and his son alive, so Pei Jian and others were discussing whether to use a surprise attack or threaten to trigger an internal rebellion among their opponents.

"It is best to cause civil strife." Jiang Cunzhong said: "Once there is civil strife, the first thing the rebels do is to save their lives. The smart ones will rush into the palace and capture the false emperor and his son as a reward."

"But the rebel army is so jealous. What if they accidentally kill the puppet emperor and his son?" someone questioned.

Just like Ying Xiao, the soldiers controlled by fear and murderous intentions killed people when they saw them, and killed Buddhas when they saw Buddha.

"A strong attack?" Pei Jian thought, "I'm afraid that the false emperor and his son will commit suicide."

The emperor listened for a while, just smiled, did not interfere, and just walked on the edge.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy from General Wang asking to see you."

Wang Laoer's envoy has arrived.

"Call."

The emperor knew that Wang Laoer must have made the discovery.

The messenger was brought, "Your Majesty, the general intercepted hundreds of cavalry south of Tongcheng."

"You can leave the city at this time..." The emperor asked: "Has the city defense been in chaos?"

"Never!"

"Then it's not like they took advantage of the chaos to escape. If so, how many people can make people open the city gate?" The emperor said playfully: "I think this must be a group of false emperors!"

"The false emperor is panicking." Han Ji said with a smile.

The emperor said: "I thought that the false emperor would escape, but the second brother took action too early. If it were later, he might not be able to capture the false emperor alive. That's all, how can anything in this world be perfect? ​​If he accidentally let him escape.

Now, I can turn my intestines green."

Under the setting sun, the emperor smiled and said: "Now, it's time to catch a turtle in a jar!"

…

After returning to the palace, Li Mi hurried to see Li Yuan.

"You want to escape?"

Even after changing his clothes, Li Yuan still found traces of disguise on his temples.

"It's blocked." Li Mi didn't hide it.

"You want to leave me in the palace and leave me to that scoundrel to vent his anger. In this case, he may not pursue you too urgently." Li Yuan sneered: "But now that he is here, how can he let you get what you want?"

"What's the use of talking about this now?" Li Mi sat down and stretched out his hand. Someone brought drinks. He drank a few glasses and gasped: "This is Mr. Wang."

"Wang Lao Er?"

"The trusted general under that evil bastard."

"He is like a cat, and we, father and son, are like two mice. Now that we are blocked in the city, he is not in a hurry. The cat is playing with the mouse!"

Li Yuan shouted: "Sing and dance, hurry up!"

Li Mi said coldly: "Carpe diem? It's too late!"

"If you don't enjoy yourself right now, once you fall into the hands of that scoundrel, he will make you and me suffer all the suffering in the world." Li Yuan greedily took the vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth.

The singers came sparingly, and Li Yuan was furious, holding vegetables in his mouth, "Where are the people?"

"Ran."

"Damn it!" Li Yuan was furious.

"Your Majesty, the vanguard of Chang'an's army is less than twenty miles away from Tongcheng."

Just when Li Yuan was about to search for the singers hiding in the palace, someone sent the latest news.

"Those scouts said that this was their last act of loyalty to His Majesty, and they left."

The gates of Tongcheng were tightly closed, so inquiring about information relied on the scouts scattered outside in the early stages.

"The tree fell and the monkeys dispersed!" Li Yuan forgot about dealing with the singer and drank a glass of wine. "If I had known this, I would have gone to seize the crown prince's position. I might as well be a member of the clan. I hope my brother will treat me well."

I……"

"What's the point of talking about this now?" Li Mi said coldly: "If you want to find a way to escape, or...is there any way to make that evil bastard surrender to the rat?"

Li Yuan swallowed the mutton in his mouth, frowned, and his eyes turned into triangles, "Let me think about it."

…

When the emperor ordered the vanguard to attack, Yang Lue suddenly asked for help.

Everyone was stunned and then relieved.

Yang Lue had been running for the emperor for most of his life, and he had been thinking about revenge for honoring the emperor for decades. At this moment, his enemy was not far away, and he could not hold back.

Once he stood up, no one competed with him for the position of leading the vanguard.

The vanguard were all cavalry, galloping all the way.

Halfway through, they encountered several groups of scouts. After seeing the forwards, they ran away without hesitation.

Moreover, he was not running towards Tongcheng.

"The hearts of the people are scattered."

Yang Lue discovered the problem keenly.

The village beside the road was deserted, even the cows had been taken away, leaving only a few escaped chickens happily looking for food.

When he saw Tongcheng, Yang Lue raised his hand.

The defenders at the top of the city also saw them.

The two sides fell into a strange silence.

"Li Mi old dog, I'm here."

The scene from that year flashed through Yang Lue's mind.

"Go and wait for Gu's instructions!"
