Qianjin Yecheng, Li Duozuo's temporary marshal tent.
Li Duozuo looked at an official letter that the soldier had just sent, slapped the official document on the case, and a touch of grief and anger could not be contained between his eyebrows, he really wanted to scold, if it wasn't for the identity of that person, he would have already scolded.
In the battle of Huangzhang that day, he was responsible for escorting grain and grass, and the Khitan iron cavalry first solved the vanguard of Huangzhang Valley, and then raided all the way, annihilating the cavalry corps and infantry corps of the Zhou army one after another, and then swooped down on his baggage battalion.
Li Duozuo saw that the enemy's army was strong, and if he persisted, not only could the grain and grass not be saved, but also ended up with the annihilation of the whole army, so he lit the grain and grass with a fire, and then led his troops to break through.
The Khitans were anxious to obtain food and grass and did not divide their troops to chase after them, so his baggage battalion became the only one of the first rebel army that could be preserved.
In addition to transporting heavy charioteers and migrant workers, Li Duozuo's troops guarded about 15,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 2,000 people were killed in the breakthrough that night, most of them were killed or injured in resisting the Khitan raid, and the remaining about 13,000 people fled safely.
As soon as Li Duozuo gained a firm foothold, he began to gather the rebellious army, and so far he has gathered nearly 12,000 deserted soldiers and horses.
Among these people, except for those who were seriously disabled and could not continue to fight, the rest of the men and horses, plus the officers and soldiers of his headquarters, were about 20,000.
The commander of the Second Route Army was Wu Youyi, who rushed to Hebei in a panic, and hurriedly selected several large cities with thick walls that were not easy to break, hid his army in them, and never came out again.
This was followed by the defeat of Wang Xiaojie, the third army of the Third Road.
After Su Honghui, the deputy marshal of the Third Route Army, fled, he knew that he had fallen into the hands of the Khitans, but at this time the vanguard had been wiped out, and then news came that even Wang Xiaojie was squeezed off the cliff by the chaotic soldiers in the chaos and fell to his death.
He knew that it was already a capital crime to be cowardly and retreat without authorization, and he also buried Wang Xiaojie, the secretary of the military department, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the general manager of the march of the Third Route Army.
Su Honghui, who was frightened, frightened, and angry, went crazy, and now commanded his remnants to look for the Khitans everywhere for a decisive battle.
It is said to be the remnants, but the 180,000 army was taken away by him more than 80,000, and the number of soldiers and horses has far exceeded the strength of the Khitans, which is enough to fight head-on.
Su Honghui now only hopes to defeat the Khitan soldiers and horses, and it is best to annihilate all the Khitans, so as to atone for his sins, even if he is defeated, as long as he can die on the battlefield and the court remembers his loyalty, he will have the opportunity to only punish his crimes and not harm his family.
At this time, as the remnant of the first Cao Renshi corps, Li Duozuo didn't know what to do, he had too few men and horses, half of them were baggage soldiers, and his combat effectiveness was limited, and if he continued to fight with the Khitans alone, it was likely that this army would be buried, and it would be difficult to join Su Honghui, because he couldn't contact him at all now.
So, Li Duozuo continued to collect the remnants of the defeated generals on the one hand, and wrote to Wu Youyi on the other hand, hoping to join him up.
Unexpectedly, Wu Youyi replied to the letter on the grounds that food and grass were limited and he could not support more soldiers and horses, and asked him to join Su Honghui, the remnant of the Third Route Army.
As soon as Li Duozuo saw it, he understood Wu Youyi's sinister intentions.
Li Duozuo is a native of the Tang Dynasty, his father was a leader of the Jin Dynasty, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, his father surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Li Duozuo was brave and good at fighting when he was a teenager, and repeatedly made military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, coupled with his father's care, he became the general of the Right Yulin Army at a very young age, and he was in charge of the forbidden army and the north gate for more than ten years.
Being in such an important position is naturally coveted.
Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi have wooed him more than once, but Li Duozuo is unmoved, he has no intention of interfering in politics, whoever is the emperor, he will be loyal to whom.
Wu Zetian saw his attitude, so he never touched him when he cut off the commanders of the various armed forces.
Wu Youyi, Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghei are all about to separate, he knows that with his prestige in the family, it is impossible to become a candidate for the crown prince, but he is already the prince, and he leads the most important Yulin army in the forbidden army, and there is no interest worth his risk to get involved in the dispute between the two martial arts.
So he has always remained neutral and waited for the price to sell.
In this case, he has been looking forward to taking the entire Yu Linwei into his own hands, so that whether Wu Chengsi wins or Wu Sansi wins, if he wants to sit on the throne, he must rely on him vigorously, and Li Duozuo of the right Yu Linwei has become a thorn in his side.
Li Duozuo is brave and good at fighting, and he is well-known in the army, but he is unwilling to accept the pull of any party, including his martial arts.
Yu Linwei is divided into left and right Yu Linwei, in this way, Li Duozuo is equivalent to taking away half of his military power, so the chips in his hand are greatly reduced, so he has always regarded Li Duozuo as a thorn in his side.
But Wu Youyi has always shown loyalty and obedience to Wu Zetian, and has never had the will to establish his own forces, so he can't slander and exclude Li Duozuo in front of Wu Zetian.
With Wu Zetian's shrewdness, he may not be able to hide this thought.
Moreover, the empress trusted Li Duozuo very much, and his slander may not work.
Therefore, Wu Youyi could only watch Li Duozuo's thorn in the flesh, but he couldn't pull it out.
Now that the opportunity has come, Li Duozuo has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and half of them are baggage soldiers, and his combat power is limited.
In Wu Youyi's calculations, since the Khitans are so fierce, as long as Li Duozuo's 20,000 horses encounter the Khitans, it will be like delivering food, and there will be no return.
He politely refused Li Duozuo to move closer to him, just to borrow the knife of the Khitan people to remove this thorn in the flesh and the thorn in the eye.
He never thought that even if he was Wu Zetian's own nephew, Wu Zetian would not be at ease to completely put the most important and core armed force to protect the palace and her safety into his hands.
The emperor needs to be balanced, even if he defeats Li Duozuo, Wu Zetian will definitely arrange another person who is unwilling to bow down to him to be the general of this right feather Lin Wei.
Li Duozuo didn't expect how difficult it was for the imperial court, and at such a juncture, Wu Youyi still wanted to cut off dissidents.
He was full of indignation, and was thinking hard about where to go next for the remnants of his army, and his own soldiers came to report: "General, the marshal of the horse brigade asks to see him, and he is also with Captain Yang Fan Yang who has just been recovered."
"Yang Fan Yang Fan is still alive, hurry up, call them in" Li Duozuo was pleasantly surprised and stood up uncharacteristically.
His son-in-law Ye Huli and Yang Fan are good friends, during the relationship between the two, Yang Fan also met this Li Duozuo Li general, Li Duozuo learned about Yang Fan's performance in the Western Regions, and praised his brave and resourceful performance.
And the veteran Lou Shide is very fond of Yang Fan, Lou Shide and him are both neutral factions in the army, and under the influence of Lou Shide, he also has a better impression of Yang Fan.
During the period when Yang Fan's life and death were uncertain, the various forces related to him inquired about the front line through various relationships, and Li Duozuo was now gathering the remnants of the army, so all these inquiries were sent to him, so as soon as the soldiers only said it, he immediately remembered Yang Fan's identity.
Ma Qiao took Yang Fan into the Shuai tent and saluted Li Duozuo, Li Duozuo smiled, left the Shuai case to help Yang Fan, looked up and down, and saw that he did not lack arms or legs, full of energy, and his heart was even more happy: "Okay, good, Captain Yang is safe and sound, and the general is very relieved."
These days, where is Captain Yang?"

Without waiting for Yang Fan to answer, Li Duozuo said: "Come on, come on, sit down and say, Ma Qiao, you can sit too." ” "General Xie" Yang Fan bowed down and thanked him, sat down on the side of him, and told him all the things that had been captured that day, only skipping the part about the assassination in Zhuolu City and the search for a husband for Anu thousands of miles.
"The Khitqing want to negotiate an alliance with the Turks" Li Duozuo was taken aback.
He is not a martial artist who only has the courage of a horseman, as soon as Yang Fan said the matter, he immediately realized the huge crisis contained in it, Li Duozuo immediately said: "Captain Yang can send back such important news, for the country and the people, the merit is too important, let's talk about it in detail later, I will immediately write a seal and report to the court as soon as 800 miles."
Yang Fan got up and said, "The last general understands, the last general is waiting outside the tent with the horse brigade commander." ” Li Duozuo said: "No need, you can sit" Li Duozuo ordered someone to bring pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
It is a special paper and printed style used to write the chapter, not just a piece of paper can be written, although the matter is urgent, the things written to the emperor can not be sloppy, Li Duozuo first wrote a piece of music on an ordinary piece of paper, hurriedly browsed it, changed it, handed it to Yang Fan and said: "Captain Yang and see, there is no omission." ” There are a few scribbles on the letter, but the words and sentences are inappropriate, as for the things described, it is naturally clear and clear, and there is no omission, Yang Fan also knows that Li Duozuo asked him to read it first, so that he knows that he does not want to be greedy for his work, the source of the news, how to find out, what is written in it is very clear.
Yang Fan nodded after seeing it, Li Duozuo took it back and re-copied it on the paper used for the chapter, this copy was completed, and he had to read it again, so as not to have any typos, confirm that it was correct, and immediately seal it, seal it, seal it with fire paint, press it with a secret seal, and call loudly: "Come on" A personal soldier walked into the tent and stood with his fists clenched, Li Duozuo handed over the secret music, and said in a deep voice: "Deliver the Beijing division with an 800-mile fast horse" On the Wucheng Palace, Wan'er reviewed the chapters in her hands with a cheerful expression, and Fu Qingqing was at another table, helping Wan'er to classify the approved chapters into categories, so that the little chamberlain could be delivered to different yamen, and those that were transferred to the inner court for the emperor's approval would be reviewed again.
Suddenly, she found a typo on a piece of music that needed to be forwarded to the inner court, Wu Zetian was very strict about these things, typos and scribbles, she would be considered unserious.
With Wan'er's rigor, such mistakes have always been rare.
Fu Qingqing raised her head and wanted to speak, seeing Wan'er's listless appearance, she swallowed back the words, pondered carefully for a long time, picked up the small frustration knife, carefully scraped off the wrong stroke, and smoothed it with some plaster, and then stroked down the correct stroke.
It's done, Fu Qingqing took a closer look, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't pay attention to it, and with the empress's current eyes, he was sure that it was impossible to find it, Fu Qingqing smiled proudly, and then said to Wan'er: "My sister is a little tired, let's rest first and then approve." ” Wan'er shook her head and said lightly: "It's okay, now the court is troubled, wars are frequent, and those who transfer troops, urge food, and transport salaries are all major matters if something goes wrong, and we can't slack off." ” Fu Qingqing sighed, had to bow his head and continue to review, it is true that state affairs have been too busy recently, but Wan'er's state has lasted for a long time, since the army of Cao Renshi was wiped out, Wan'er has often been in a state of disappointment, so that she made mistakes again and again, and after being reprimanded by the emperor, she had to find her to help.
Although Wan'er has never admitted it, Fu Qingqing, as her closest person, has long guessed where she belongs, and even guessed who the person she likes is Fu Qingqing sighed secretly, sighed in his heart, and heard Wan'er scream, and the whole person jumped up.
Fu Qingqing was startled, and when she looked up, she saw that Wan'er might have hit the table leg with her knee because of the rapid jumping, and tears glistened in her eyes, but the strange thing was that she was full of smiles and endless joy.
Fu Qingqing was surprised and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, I'm okay, I'll leave first" Shangguan Wan'er grabbed a piece of music like a baby, limped but flashed into the side hall as quickly as a fly, leaving Fu Qingqing stunned there, with a question mark on the door
