Volume 1: A World of War and Chaos Chapter 55: Going South Together
Let's not think about those troublesome things for now, confess to Li Yuan and come to Zhang Yang's side.
He took out three yellow-covered pieces of information from his arms and said softly: "Instructor, Zhu Yuanzhang and Dou Jiande have already started fighting. According to reports from the second-generation team members there, Dou Jiande personally led 80,000 cavalrymen to Anyang south on June 16th.
And besieged the city on the 17th."
After a pause, he said: "In addition, Yang Xuangan in Luoyang was poisoned by his concubine on the night of the 17th, and Luoyang fell into the hands of Cheng Zhijie; Du Fuwei of Xiangyang also raised an army. This is what they sent. You see?
look."
This is going to change. The land of Hebei has been divided into five parts. Hou Junji and Luo Yi are in the north, Dou Jiande is in the middle, Zhu Yuanzhang is in the south, and Zhao Kuangyin of Cangzhou in the east is struggling to survive in the cracks.
With less pressure from the encircling foreign troops, they couldn't wait to consolidate their power and seize territory.
Now Henan is also in a mess. Zhang Xutuo was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but now that the Sui Dynasty was dead, he had to think about himself, so he occupied Kaifeng, Zhengzhou and other territories, stood still and sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.
Wang Bodang in Nanyang had been attacked by Zhang Xutuo and had already cowered down. He did not dare to invade further north or go south. Du Fuwei in Xiangyang also raised troops. Wang Bodang was attacked from both sides and did not dare to move.
Luoyang, the eastern capital, lost control due to Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Now that Yang Xuangan is dead, Cheng Zhijie, who was originally Dou Jiande's subordinate, somehow did not go to Hebei to help Dou Jiande. Instead, he seized Luoyang in the chaos. This is a bit unclear.
.
Now the relationship between Cheng Zhijie and Dou Jiande is particularly important. If he is still Dou's subordinate, the day when Zhu Yuanzhang will be overthrown will not be too far away. By then, they will destroy Zhu Yuanzhang and join forces. This force will be very powerful.
.
If they were not in a subordinate relationship, this would be a three-legged situation, which would be a big headache just thinking about it.
Fortunately, Shanxi is relatively stable in the mirror. Important cities such as Shuozhou, Taiyuan, Linfen, Changzhi, Jincheng, and Yuncheng are all under Li Yuan's control. Now he only needs to cross the Yellow River to the west or south to seize Chang'an by surprise at the right time, and he can sit back and relax.
Sit back and watch the storm.
I don't know what the Li family's father and son will choose. Luo Yu would not dare to make a decision in this situation, not to mention that Li Yuan has already made arrangements for him and Li Xiuning to go south to Jiandong tomorrow, June 21st.
It seems that it will ruin their interest in drinking. This news should be troubled by masters like them. He believes that the Li family and his son can make perfect use of various talents and connections to find something cheap in the chaos.
Thinking of this, he whispered to Zhang Yang: "The general and I will set off south early tomorrow morning, and we need to take a few team members with us. What are your plans?"
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and said: "Instructor, the students will just listen to you, you don't have to worry."
Luo Yu said with a smile: "It is a private matter for the general and I to go south. We may stay in the south for a long time. According to the current development of the situation, there will be a war about to break out soon. This is the time for you to earn credit. It would be wrong to go south with me."
, of course I want to ask for your opinion.”
Zhang Yang said disapprovingly: "Instructor, the students have recognized you and the general since they entered the special operations team. As long as you don't drive the students away, the students will not leave."
Luo Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, since you said that, anything else I say is just polite. In this case, you go and discuss with Lu Xiao and the others to see if any of them are willing to go south with my wife."
Zhang Yang bowed his hands and turned around to discuss with Lu Xiao and the others.
Luo Yu came to Li Yuan's Duke's Mansion with the information. Seeing that they had already laid out the food and wine, they were waiting for him to serve it.
Li Xiuning cast a concerned look, as if asking Luo Yu what happened.
Luo Yu shook his head at her, called Li Shimin, handed him three pieces of information behind everyone's back, and said softly: "The situation has changed, please stop drinking now and go to the special operations team intelligence agency to collect all the intelligence in the recent period.
Get up, then summarize and hand it over to father and Uncle Niu, remember, no matter how big or small, classify and summarize."
Hearing Luo Yu's serious tone, Li Shimin felt that the situation had changed and seemed to be developing in a bad direction, so he did not dare to neglect it. He turned around and said to Li Yuan: "Father..."
Who is Li Yuan? Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Go."
Li Shimin confessed his crime, turned around and left in a hurry. The rest of the people looked at Luo Yu, as if asking what happened.
Luo Yu walked to the table, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's no big deal, Shimin can handle it. Master Taishan, Uncle Niu, and the two aunts, today is the joy of Shi Ming's rebirth. Don't be distracted by mundane things."
, come, drink and win..."
After saying this and taking a sip, Luo Yu's face turned red after just one small cup.
When everyone saw that he didn't say anything, and Li Shimin had already gone to deal with it, they could only feel depressed in their hearts, and everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank.
Li Xiuning was not used to Shao Knife. She choked and coughed after just one sip. Luo Yu hurriedly picked up a piece of mutton for her and fed it to her to suppress the smell of alcohol.
Seeing how loving the two of them were, everyone burst into laughter, making Li Xiuning blush.
Li Shimin came to the special operations team and found Zhang Yang who was discussing with his teammates. He asked Zhang Yang to take out all the intelligence during this period and he wanted to classify and summarize it.
After just discussing with the team members who would go south to greet Luo Yu and his wife, Zhang Yang led Li Shimin into a large room with more than a hundred square meters. It was densely packed with dozens of bookshelves of different sizes, with many spaces on them.
Envelopes with different colors, like a rainbow.
This is the intelligence center of the special forces, including the terrain, humanities, specialties, scenic spots and other information of various places. Only a small part of it was presented to Luo Yu for him to process.
Li Shimin's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the special operations team could collect so much information. It seems that they will have to stay here for a while. After reading this information, they will definitely gain a lot.
Luo Yu asked him to take over the entire organization, and it seemed that he was handing over the command of the special force. This team member was really good, but he knew very little about the special force, and he was not sure how to command him.
By the way, didn't you want to publicize them? Just run it the original way for a while, and then change it according to the situation.
At Li Yuan's side, the guests and the host had had a good time, and they went home after the banquet. Luo Yu returned to the new house with Li Xiuning's support. He never mentioned why Li Shimin left during the banquet.
Li Yuan and Niu Jinda were both human beings, so Luo Yu didn't mention it and didn't ask any more questions. Li Shimin would explain it to them after handling the matter.
On the contrary, Li Xiuning was a little anxious. After returning to the new house, she poured a cup of tea for Luo Yu and asked, "Husband, what happened?"
Luo Yu only drank one cup of Shaodaozi, and was stopped by Li Xiuning later. He drank fruit wine instead of drinking with Li Yuan. Although he was a little drunk, he was very sober and said: "Madam, tomorrow we will leave for the south. There are some things you still have to do."
If you don’t know, let your father-in-law and the others handle it. My most important thing now is to take you to Jiandong."
Li Xiuning wanted to pinch Luo Yu's ears again, but then she thought about it. Luo Yu couldn't be blamed for this. He couldn't violate his father's arrangements. Since they were married, they had to live and die together. Whatever he wanted to do, he could just accompany him.
After thinking about this, he stopped asking questions and slowly lay down next to Luo Yu. Unexpectedly, Luo Yu suddenly sat up and said with a smile: "Madam, how can you sleep without removing your hair?"
It was late at night, and Li Xiuning was not sleepy. Thinking of the madness just now, her face flushed with red. She leaned her head on Luo Yu's chest, listening to Luo Yu's rhythmic heartbeat, and dishonestly reached out to Luo Yu with one hand.
There were random drawings on his belly.
Luo Yu didn't sleep either. He knew very well what Li Xiuning wanted. He would leave this comfortable new house tomorrow and travel thousands of miles south to Jiandong. He didn't know what he would encounter along the way, so it was wise to enjoy himself in time.
Li Xiuning smiled, because Luo Yu's heartbeat had begun to accelerate. She gently bit her teeth on Luo Yu's earlobe, smiled evilly, exhaled like blue, and blew into Luo Yu's ears.
This was teasing, proving that Luo Yu's failure to subdue Li Xiuning was unbearable. Luo Yu turned over with force and pressed Li Xiuning under him. As soon as Li Xiuning's exclamation came out, he kissed her.
The passion of the newlyweds was so intense that the ice packs outside the house and the ice cubes under the bed seemed to be affected by the fiery passion, melting faster, and the temperature in the new house also dropped.
Li Xiuning taught Li Shimin to make these ice cubes. Summer is not a good time to get married, but with ice cubes, many problems seem to be solved.
Luo Yu couldn't fall asleep while hugging Li Xiuning, who was sleeping with a satisfied look on his face. His parents, grandparents, his girlfriend from the original time and space, his girlfriend who was already talking about getting married, his brother who loved each other, and all the others appeared in his mind.
Relatives and friends don’t know what happened to them.
Maybe his disappearance will affect them for a while, but life will go on. Living people will always face various problems, and then they will be busy solving various problems. Now they should have accepted the fact.
Bar.
Are they okay? Luo Yu doesn't know the answer, and maybe he will never know the answer in this life. He stole Chai Shao's wife in this time and space, and his girlfriend will marry someone else in another time and space. The truth behind this
, actually the same.
Tears fell, and Li Xiuning seemed to feel Luo Yu's state of mind in her arms. She retracted her hands and hugged her tighter, as if she was afraid that Luo Yu would leave her.
Luo Yu suddenly woke up. Now she is the one who should be protected most. Everything in that time and space has become an illusion and can no longer be entangled. In the next year, she still doesn’t know what will happen to her. If Yuan Shoucheng’s calculations are so accurate,
This calamity for her is not something to be trifled with.
When I was thinking wildly, sleepiness came over me, I dropped everything and fell into a deep sleep.
He dreamed of his family again. Luo Yu really hoped that the dream would come true, because he dreamed of another version of himself that was exactly the same as him, living with his family and still enjoying the same happiness as before. His girlfriend became his wife, and she had been pregnant for half a year...
Li Xiuning gently brushed Luo Yu's nose with her hair until he woke up. It was already dawn.
Luo Yu saw that she had changed into a blue young woman's outfit and had a young woman's hairstyle, and smiled and said: "Madam, did you sleep well last night?"
Li Xiuning blushed and said angrily: "Get up quickly, it's already midnight, Zhang Yang and the others have been waiting at the door for a long time!"
Luo Yu said calmly: "It doesn't matter, they got up too early. As long as we can get to Pingyao today, the beef there is outstanding. You must try it!"
Li Xiuning said angrily: "Hurry up and wash up, you are thinking about eating all the time! By the way, I also want to tell you some good news. Yang Man said that he will go south with us. Aren't you happy to have a beautiful woman with you?" After finishing speaking,
He put a basin of water on the basin stand and waited for Luo Yu to get up and wash up.
Luo Yu jumped up and exclaimed in surprise: "Who agreed? Why is she here to join in the fun? Isn't this nonsense?"
Li Xiuning gave the towel to Luo Yu and said with a smile: "I agree to this. Why, do you have any objections?"
Luo Yu said helplessly: "We are not going to enjoy the mountains and rivers. There are too many unknown dangers along the way. You ask her to follow, just in case..."
Seeing that Luo Yu was so worried about Yang Man, Li Xiuning was jealous and said, "I'll just say you have her in your heart. Why don't you marry her..."
Luo Yu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Miss Li, can you please stop mentioning this matter? Well, let her follow. I want to show you that you are the only one in my heart."
Li Xiuning chuckled, slapped Luo Yu on the butt, then quickly retreated to the door, opened the door and walked out, leaving Luo Yu standing in front of the bed alone with a towel.
Being teased again, who said the ancients had no emotions? Luo Yu was the first to disagree!
He picked up the fine salt next to him, dipped a willow branch in it, brushed his teeth and washed his face, got dressed and walked out.
Zhang Yang, Lu Xiao, Liu Hao, Cheng Xiao, Quan Wu, and Zhou Ye were ready and waiting. Except for Yu Dong who was still recovering from his injuries in the Pine Tower, the six people around him were willing to accompany them south.
This was difficult for Luo Yu. He had just handed over the command of the special force to Li Shimin, but none of the six kings were willing to stay and earn credit. They wanted to go south with him. This was hard to explain to Li Shimin.
Zhang Yang understood Luo Yu's worries and said: "Instructor, the students have sent people to the Pine Tower to pick up Yu Dong and Zhang Yuan. Let them handle the things here. Girls are more careful than us."
Luo Yu smiled and scolded: "Think carefully, don't regret it when you reward your merits in the future!"
Zhang Yang and others also laughed and said: "Don't regret it, it will be more exciting to follow the instructor!"
Luo Yu asked again: "Have you brought that crystal with you?"
Zhang Yang pointed to the ponytail and said, "Take it with me."
Luo Yu nodded. He had been wanting to make a telescope during this period, but he never had free time. This time when he went south, he should have a lot of free time, so he should make use of it.
Yang Man walked over in a white outfit, with her long hair tied up on her head and pinned with a hosta. This outfit looked like a handsome young man, which complemented Zhang Yang and the others.
She wanted to ride a horse, so she dressed up like this. Luo Yu walked over and said softly: "Why do you follow us for thousands of miles?"
Yang Man smiled and said, "I'm happy to do it, can you take care of it?" After saying that, she walked towards Li Xiuning.
This is unreasonable. Forget it, since Li Xiuning has agreed to her, let her follow. It will be awkward for her to stay in Taiyuan, and it just so happens that she and Li Xiuning can take care of each other along the way.
When Li Shimin came, Luo Yu said embarrassedly: "I took these six people away. Someone will come to replace them in the afternoon. I have written to Xue Li of Linfen and asked him to send a few more people."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Father and Uncle Niu went to Nizhou early in the morning. They asked me to see you off. You don't have to worry about anything here. Protect my sister. I'm waiting to be your uncle!"
Luo Yu punched him in the chest and said with a smile: "You and Changsun Xiaomei should also hurry up, I'm waiting to be your uncle!"
The two laughed loudly after saying this. In fact, in this era, sometimes parting means goodbye forever, especially when the war is raging, no one can guarantee that they will live well.
Although the two of them talked easily, they just didn't want to bring up this topic.
Luo Yu explained the special team matters again, and specifically told Li Shimin about Wang Shichong, asking him to pay attention to this person.
Du Fuwei has already raised troops in Xiangyang, and Wang Shichong, who was at the same time as him, should soon enter the stage of history.
After Li Shimin remembered it, he and Li Xiuning, who had changed into a smart outfit like Yang Man, jumped on the horse and drove slowly towards the south gate of Taiyuan.
As soon as we left Taiyuan Gate, we felt a little empty. The road ahead was long and uncertain. No one could give an answer as to when we would be reunited with them again.
Today is a good day for traveling, but it has started to drizzle. However, compared to the bright sun, this drizzle is indeed more suitable for traveling. I don’t know what kind of luck this rain will bring. If he could meet Yuan Laodao, Luo Yu would like to face him face to face.
Ask for advice.
It's just that Yuan Laodao, who has never seen the dragon before its end, is really so easy to meet?
