In the dead of night, when the whole city of Chang'an had fallen into silence, the lights in the study room of the Tang Palace were indeed brightly lit, and Emperor Li Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty ordered his people to place the map on the table.

The military deployment of the Tang State is clear at a glance on the map. Among them, the location of Tuyang City is circled with a red pen.

The matter cannot be hidden from Li Zhongyi at all.

Li Zhongyi looked at the map and asked: "Xu Chongshan, what is the situation on the front line of Tuyang City now? Where are the deserters who were chased and intercepted by the Xiling coalition forces now."

After Xu Chongshan saluted respectfully, he pointed to the small black dot on the map and said: "Your Majesty, the deserters were surrounded and intercepted by the Xiling Temple coalition forces and were approaching the line of the Wei River. The day before yesterday, the Tianshu office received an urgent report from Ma Shixiang of Weicheng.

We have set up camp ten miles away from Weicheng. If the deserters want to attack Weicheng, I am afraid it will only take two days."

As a member of the Huangren, he didn't want to see the Huangren facing the Tang Dynasty's cavalry. However, the plot of the Xiling Temple had made the Huangren desperate. The allied forces of all the world's countries had already pointed directly at the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. There was the Tang Dynasty's cavalry in front of them.

The Huangren, who were later pursued by the Xiling Allied Forces, were trapped on the front line of Weicheng in the Tang Dynasty and could not move.

Li Zhongyi looked at Tuyang City, which was marked separately on the map, and asked again: "How are the grain and ordnance reserves in Tuyang City? Can they be distributed evenly?"

He didn't want to start a war with the Huangren, as that would only make his relatives angry and his enemies happy. After all, his queen was also a Huangren, so after thinking about it, he could only break the situation with this method, but the Huangren would still have to fight with the Xiling Alliance Army.

Only in this way can one escape from death.

Xu Chongshan replied with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the grain and grass in Tuyang City can still be enough for an army of 100,000 for half a year, and the arsenal is sufficient."

"Okay!" Li Zhongyi snapped the case and said: "Xu Chongshan, you go to Tuyang City immediately, mobilize military supplies and food and grass that can be used by ten thousand people, go to Weicheng, secretly hand over the military supplies and food and grass to the deserters, and create a situation where the military supplies and food and grass are robbed by the deserters.

The illusion of killing can confuse the dishes in the Xiling Temple..."

While he was talking, Li Zhongyi had already written the imperial edict and stamped it with the emperor's seal. However, the clear horizontal and vertical characters on the bright yellow silk were indeed a bit ugly.

Xu Chongshan respectfully accepted the imperial edict, which was enough to save his people, and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Chongshan accepts the order."

"Go! Go early and come back early."

In the imperial study room, which was as bright as day, Li Zhongyi watched Xu Chongshan leave. Shortly after Xu Chongshan left, Empress Xia Xia of the Tang Dynasty, dressed in simple palace clothes, came to the imperial study room alone.

Xia Tian looked at Li Zhongyi on the throne and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving Huangren's life."

Back then, her brother took her to the Tang Kingdom and the capital city of Chang'an, but she still did not forget her people. She was very grateful to Li Zhongyi, because even though Li Zhongyi was the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, he threw away the food, grass and weapons that the Tang people had exchanged for their hard-earned money.

It is also a very difficult thing to do to a deserted person.

Because such things are destined to be done secretly. Once the news leaks out, it will also lose a lot of prestige for the royal family, so the risk is very high.

Li Zhongyi stood up and walked to Xia Tian, ​​and said with concern: "Do you still need to thank me between you and me? The Huangren are your mother clan, and I should help, but the Huangren still need to fight with the Xiling Alliance Army after all.

Only then can we break out of the situation.”

Being able to send military supplies, food and grass is all he can do. He will not let the Tang State's northern border troops get involved in this war. After all, he is the emperor of the Tang State and has to consider the people of the Tang State.

Xia Tian said: "If Your Majesty is really in trouble, you can send cavalry to chase Xu Chongshan back. I think Xu Chongshan has not left Chang'an City yet."

She had already caused a lot of trouble for him because of the Huangren incident before, and now she didn't want to see him in such trouble anymore. She almost killed him back then, and although he survived, he still had the root of the disease. She has been deeply aware of it all these years.

Guilt.

Li Zhongyi stretched out his right arm and hugged Xia Tian, ​​and he said: "I didn't regret it when I married you, and I don't regret it now. Even if I become an enemy in the world, I won't regret it, so the husband and wife help the Taishan family solve some troublesome things."

, how can it be an embarrassment?"

Xia Tian curled up into Li Zhongyi's arms and said, "But I still want to thank Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, all the people would have been wiped out long ago."

She knew very well the strength of the Tang Kingdom's cavalry, and also knew very well how miserable the Huangren's current situation was. If he hadn't protected the Huangren all these years, the Huangren would have disappeared in the vast far north.

Li Zhongyi looked at Xia Tian in his arms. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Xia Tian, ​​who was already exhausted due to the duel between Xia Hou and Ning Que, fell asleep in Li Zhongyi's arms.

"I've suffered a lot from you these past years!"

After saying that, Li Zhongyi pushed open the door of the imperial study room with Xia Tian on his back and walked towards the palace. Seeing this situation, the servants along the way knelt down one after another, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see.

Li Zhongyi ignored the servant who was kneeling on the ground, and just said calmly: "Stay back!"

The chamberlains, who had been pardoned, stood up and walked away, not daring to disturb His Majesty's pleasure any more, so Li Zhongyi carried Xia Tian on his back and walked leisurely to the palace.

No sleep all night!

------

Outside Chang'an City, the guard commander Xu Chongshan led several guards who were also Huangren and took the imperial edict of the Tang Emperor on the road to Tuyang City. However, Tuyang City was too far away from Chang'an, so there was no way.

It would be impossible to reach it in ten days and a half.

Therefore, Xu Chongshan now only hopes that his speed can be faster. The time it takes Xu Chongshan to reach Tuyang City now represents the hope of Huangman's survival.

If you leave early, the hope of survival of the desert people will be better. If you go too late, I am afraid that the desert people will be annihilated. No one can guarantee whether the Xiling Temple will kill people and silence them.

"Sir, can we still see our family when we go back this time?"

A guard of the Tang Dynasty who was born in a deserted country asked Xu Chongshan, who was galloping on his horse beside him, how many years had he been in the Tang Dynasty and how many years had passed since he had seen his family.

Xu Chongshan waved the horsewhip in his hand and said: "We will definitely see it. Don't follow us when we go back this time. Someone also needs to teach the tribesmen about the maintenance of ordnance. Otherwise, the sophisticated ordnance of our Tang Dynasty will not be used for long."

Although the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were excellent, if no one maintained them, over time they would become nothing more than a pile of rotten parts, and they would no longer be able to exert their due lethality.

Several people continued to gallop on the official roads of the Tang Dynasty, traveling 800 times a day and 500 times a night. After dozens of horses were killed, Xu Chongshan and his party finally arrived at Tuyang City. A cruel battle would eventually begin.

Opening ceremony.
