The weather was good, and the army marched forward with great momentum.

Shi Zhongtang, who was about to go out with the main force, saw that his men were so powerful that he couldn't help but compose a poem.

"What a poem!" the accompanying civil servants praised.

Down the hillside, the army was marching.

Shi Zhongtang looked at the army and said confidently: "Tell Wei Ming not to stop."

"yes!"

Someone wrote the document, Shi Zhongtang nodded after looking at it, and then printed it out.

He Zun said: "I am worried about the northern Xinjiang side now."

"What are you worried about?" Shi Zhongtang asked.

"I'm worried that after the defeat of Shegu in Northern Xinjiang, they will choose to compromise." He Zun said: "Once Chang'an learns that the Duke has raised troops to Qingjun's side, he will definitely choose to compromise and even take the initiative to show his favor to Northern Xinjiang. If Northern Xinjiang joins the war...

…”

What would happen if the Northern Xinjiang Army went south to quell the rebellion?

"Is my southern Xinjiang tiger afraid of him?" Shi Zhongtang said calmly: "I have been hiding my strength and biding my time all these years just for this day. The northern Xinjiang army is fierce, but look at..."

He pointed to the advancing army.

"Wan Sheng!"

The faces of the aliens were full of unruliness and fierceness.

"My Southern Xinjiang Army has already changed its appearance. Even if the Northern Xinjiang Army comes, it will be treated as a curse."

Ta-ta-ta!

A group of cavalry came in the opposite direction, and after asking Shi Zhongtang where he was, they arrived at the foot of the hillside.

A man ran up and saluted: "My lord, there is news from the north. The Northern Xinjiang army has destroyed the Shegu tribe and unified the northern land."

Shi Zhongtang's smile is still there, even more joyful, "Okay! Hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A group of people are laughing.

He Zun laughed and leaned back and forth. He finally held back and gasped: "If Northern Xinjiang unites the Northern Territory, Yang Xuan will definitely prepare to go south to rebel. How can the Chang'an army be able to defeat the Northern Xinjiang army? The Chang'an army was destroyed and Guanzhong was empty. This is

God helps the Duke!"

"As long as the Duke takes Chang'an first and controls Guanzhong, he will be invincible."

Shi Zhongtang only felt light and airy all over, a feeling of overlooking the world, which made him a little intoxicated.

He looked at the north, smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

He galloped down the hillside and along the edge of the army.

"Wan Sheng!"

"The Duke is victorious!"

The rebels cheered.

Shi Zhongtang raised his hand in response.

In a daze, he felt that he was in Chang'an City, in the imperial palace.

More than ten cavalry came towards us. They approached the front and back, saluted, and the leading general said: "I'm reporting to the Duke, General Wei has defeated Shangzhou."

"good!"

Since the start of the army, the army has defeated three states in a row. This overwhelming momentum made Shi Zhongtang extremely happy.

"Inform the entire army."

The news spread throughout the army, and there were cheers immediately.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Shi Zhongtang drew his sword and pointed to the north.

"Go north!"

"Go north! Go north! Go north!"

Amid cheers, the army surged toward the north like a torrent.

…

The cell in the mirror is not bad.

"The people imprisoned here are all serious criminals, even important ministers. Before being convicted, at least they should be given some dignity. After all, whoever can reach a high official position has no one behind him! Don't you think so?"

There are a row of cells on both sides of a passage. King Wei's cell is in the middle, and there is an old man on the right who talks to him nonstop all day long.

There was even a bed in the cell, but it was dilapidated. The bed above was replaced with a new one when King Wei was imprisoned. It is said that Zhao Sanfu paid for it.

The son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon are criminals today, but they may be princes tomorrow.

So, don't complain before they die.

King Wei knelt down on the straw mat. He made a fist with his left hand and stretched it forward. He raised his right hand and slowly smashed it down.

Once, twice...

If the old customers of Huang's blacksmith shop were here, they would definitely say that isn't this Li Er's usual forging action?

The old man next door is very noisy.

"Who did the king kill to get in?"

The old man had always been curious about who King Wei had killed, so he was imprisoned in the mirror cell.

King Wei squinted his eyes and looked at the void under his hands, as if there were sword blanks there.

The sound of footsteps came, and the old man coughed dryly, "I was wronged!"

At the end of the dark passage, footsteps sounded slowly, as if an old man was walking, or as if a noble man was walking and looking at the cells on both sides.

There were only two prisoners in the cell, one was King Wei and the other was an old man.

In the darkness, two jailers accompanied a man.

When the old man saw it, he immediately retracted and muttered: "It turned out to be Han Shitou. This old dog can't get out easily. When he comes, there is probably something wrong. It's your business. It's life or death. I can't hear anything."

A jailer came over and coughed, "Your Majesty!"

King Wei raised his head and Han Shitou saluted, "Your Majesty, you are in a good mood. You still didn't forget to strike when you were in prison."

King Wei seemed to be holding something in his left hand. He moved it to the left, slightly downward, and then seemed to put something down. His right hand was gently put down, as if leaning a hammer against the stove.

There is no trace of falsehood in this series of actions, as if this is a blacksmith's shop and King Wei in front of him is a craftsman forging iron.

Han Shitou waved his hand, and the two jailers resigned.

Listening to the footsteps disappearing at the end of the passage, Han Shitou walked over and said softly: "Your Majesty asked the king if he has any accomplices."

"What accomplice?" King Wei asked.

"The king is planning to assassinate His Majesty, and some of his accomplices are planning it together..." Han Shitou said with a smile.

King Wei said calmly: "But the Northern Xinjiang Army won a great victory?"

This is the most difficult of the false emperor's brats... Han Shitou neither admits nor denies it.

After the unification of the north, the Northern Xinjiang Army only needs to recuperate for one or two years. Once it integrates the old land of Northern Liao, it will become a powerful force that makes the Tang Dynasty tremble.

The emperor was good at checks and balances, but when he met Yang Xuan, all his methods became a joke.

After the check and balance failed, he had to recruit Yang Songcheng and others to become his assistants.

Otherwise, once the Northern Xinjiang Army moves south, he will become a lonely man.

"He wants to kill me, who is he trying to balance? Once my king dies, Yang Songcheng and the King of Yue will benefit the most. This is a frank relationship. But Yang Songcheng has been his opponent for many years, and once he is frank with each other... only the appearance of his will make him

A feared opponent."

King Wei said with an expressionless expression.

"Hey!" Han Shitou sighed: "The king is indeed smart. So, do you have any allies? Tell me, your Majesty has said that the king will be guarding Gongling."

"What happened to my great-uncle back then must have something to do with him, right? He didn't dare to go himself, but he asked me to go. Isn't he afraid that my great-uncle would come looking for him at night?"

King Wei said sarcastically, "He wants to take advantage of me at the end of the day, which shows how shameless he is."

Han Shitou sighed: "Your Majesty, you still refuse to bow your head?"

King Wei pointed at his neck, "What this king has cared about all his life is my mother, wife and children. Now that my mother and wife and children are far away in northern Xinjiang, what can he do?"

"Then, what about the king himself?"
