Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the end of June, Li Kuo was flipping through a pile of frontline reports in the Chengzhou Yamen in Tangzhou.

    Since April, the new emperor Li Heng has appointed Guo Ziyi as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses to assist King Guangping in putting down the rebellion.

    In May, the Tang army fought a fierce battle with the rebels in Qingqu, west of Chang'an, but was severely defeated by the rebels.  In desperation, Guo Ziyi had to retreat to martial arts.  It now seems that the battle for Chang'an between the Tang Dynasty and the rebels has entered the most critical stage.  In order to ensure that Chang'an was not lost, An Qingxu sent Sun Xiaozhe's troops to quickly return reinforcements.  As a result, all the 30,000 cavalry outside Tangzhou City had evacuated, and the pressure on Li Kuo suddenly became much lighter.

    But this does not mean that the knot in Li Kuo's heart has been opened.

    Gao Shi¡¯s uncle Gao promised to send his family back, but the delay lasted for several months with no news.  Even if Suiyang is now caught in a fierce battle, there won't be three or two people in the entire Jianghuai Road who can escort their family members to Tangzhou, right?

    ¡°Crossing Nanyang through Xiangyang and entering Tangzhou, this route will not pass through the outskirts of Suiyang at all, let alone be blocked by the rebels. So why did Uncle Gao refuse?  Could it be that even he had other thoughts?

    The more Li Kuo thought about it, the more annoyed he became. The relationship between him and Li Heng was already incompatible. If he made a slight move, it would be even more difficult for Uncle Gao to do it. But if he was asked to wait like this, it would really push him.  Crazy!

    Li Kuo got up angrily as he hammered the table with hatred.

    "Shichiro, Shichiro"

    Just as he was about to go out, he ran into Zhou Wuwei who came in a hurry, and the two almost bumped into each other.

    "What happened? Why are you so panicked?" Seeing Zhang Yanji's appearance, Li Kuo was puzzled. Logically speaking, Zhou Wuxin should be the kind of person who doesn't panic even if the sky falls. How could he become so panicked?

    "I, I, you, hey!" Zhou Wuwei held it in for a long time but still didn't say a word. He waved his sleeves angrily and stopped talking.

    "What happened?" Li Kuo frowned tightly, grabbed Zhou Wuxin's shoulders and asked.  His behavior today was so abnormal that he even noticed that the corners of Zhou Wuxin's eyes were red and swollen, as if he had just cried bitterly.

    What could make this kid cry like this?  Li Kuo really couldn't imagine it.

    "Speak faster, are you trying to scare me to death?"

    "Yanji him, Yanji him" Zhou Wuwei covered his nose with one hand and sobbed faintly.

    ¡°You should tell me what¡¯s wrong with Yanji!¡±

    Li Kuo was made anxious and angry by Zhou Wuwei, and he shook Zhou Wuwei hard.

    "A brother went to Lingwu to visit his relatives. He saw Yanji's, Yanji's head at the top of the city!"

    Zhou Wuwei could no longer suppress his emotions, covered his cheeks with his hands and cried bitterly.

    "What? What did you say? Say it again!" Li Kuo went crazy and shook Zhou Xinxin's body violently: "You are lying to me, you are joking with me, right, right!"

    Zhou Wuwei was also annoyed and threw Li Kuo away angrily: "Why did I lie to you? Wu Li went home to visit his relatives, and he did see Yanji's head at the top of Lingwu City! He had been Yanji before.  Private soldier, can he be wrong?"

    Li Kuo sat on the ground blankly and said: "It's impossible, it's impossible, how could it be like this? How could it be like this? Isn't Yanji working in Anxi? How could he go to Lingwu? Could it be, could it be?"

    Zhou Wuwei choked up and said: "Wu Li said he saw the notice at the top of the city. It probably means that the court found out that you were complicit in rebellion. He originally wanted to recall Yanji, who was working in Anxi, as a hostage, but he sent several messages to you one after another.  You refused to go to Lingwu to report on your work after all the notices, so, so"

    "So they killed Yanji?" Li Kuo slapped the case suddenly and sneered: "What an emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what a court of the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that the court for which I, Li Kuo, worked so hard would be like this!"

    Li Kuo unsheathed his sword and walked out.

    "Qi Lang, what are you going to do!" Seeing that Li Kuo was about to do something stupid, Zhou Wuwei quickly stepped forward and stopped him.

    "Leave me alone, I'm going to avenge Yanji, don't stop me!"

    Li Kuo struggled hard, but suddenly felt a pain in his neck, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

    When Li Kuo opened his eyes, he found that he was lying on the bed.

    "Yanji, Yanji!"

    Li Kuo exclaimed and stood up suddenly. He had just had a nightmare, Yanji him, Yanji him was walking towards him with a evil smile.  He was covered in blood, he was covered in blood, he just walked towards me but refused to speak, he just smiled, grinning.

    "Qilang, you're awake!" Zhou Wuwei let out a long sigh and walked up to Li Kuo: "Calm down first. You are so confused now that you can only harm your brothers."??When you think about it clearly, even if you really want to fight that faint king, the brothers will never blink an eye!  "

    Li Kuo collapsed on the bed weakly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I was the one who caused Yanji's death. If I had gone to Lingwu to report on my work, he would not have died. I was the cause of Yanji's death."  "

    "Don't be stupid! That Hunjun is not a broad-minded person. If you really go to Lingwu, I'm afraid you will end up like Yanji." Zhou Wuwei sneered, breaking Li Kuo's fantasy: "  I can only blame Yanji for being so stupid that he followed that faint king¡¯s orders and went to Lingwu to report on his duties!¡±

    "I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in! I want to avenge Yanji!" Li Kuo struggled to get up, but Zhou Wuwei held him down firmly.

    "Calm down!" Zhou Wuwei glanced at Li Kuo and said, "What's the situation now? No matter how mediocre he is, he is still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You are rashly leading your brothers to Lingwu now. Isn't this rebellion?  "

    "Rebellion is rebellion. If he kills Yanji, I will make him pay with his life!" Li Kuo suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhou Wuxin.

    Zhou Wuwei was glared at and shuddered, and only said: "With your current strength, can you avenge Yanji? We in Tangzhou, including Xiangyong, can only muster up to 20,000 troops, and the imperial guards around Lingwu have  Thirty thousand, this is not counting the 30,000 Shuofang army left by the old general Guo Ziyi. If you lead everyone there like this, aren't you just flying into the flames? Besides, now is the critical moment to counter the rebellion. You are getting emotional at this time.  If you want to kill the faint king, what should you do if your plan to suppress the rebellion is affected? Do you want to watch the Tang Dynasty fall apart from now on?"

    Li Kuo said coldly: "That Hunjun is not worthy to be in charge of the Tang Dynasty! I will act for heaven, kill this Hunjun, avenge Yanji, and eliminate harm for the people of the world. The Tang Dynasty in my heart is definitely not Li Heng's.  Don!"

    Zhou Wuwei shook his head and said, "Even if you can let go of everything, can you let go of the old lady? Can you let go of Sister A Tian and Liniang?"

    Boom!

    Li Kuo¡¯s mind was buzzing and he collapsed immediately.

    Yes, why did I forget them?  They are still in Jianghuai Yangzhou now!

    "No wonder, no wonder Uncle Gao has been reluctant to send them to Tangzhou."

    "You have wronged someone, look what this is!" Zhou Wuwei took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Kuo.

    Li Kuo slowly took out the letter and read it word for word.

    "What, Uncle Gao is planning to send Mother, A Tian, ??Liniang and the others back today?"

    Li Kuo was overjoyed for a moment and hugged Zhou Wuxin tightly to make sure that he was not dreaming.

    "However, he also said that as the governor of the Jianghuai River, he should not leave Yangzhou too far. He can only send the old lady and the others to Xiangyang City, and you will pick them up in person!" Zhou Wuwei saw Li Kuo's appearance.  He was very distressed, but he couldn't say much. He only emphasized the essence expressed in Gao Shixin's letter to prevent Li Kuo from being overjoyed and forgetting everything.

    "What's the problem? I'll go to Xiangyang to pick them up!" After receiving several bad news one after another, how could Li Kuo not be happy when he finally heard the good news?  Not to mention that Gao Shi asked him to go to Xiangyang now, even Fan Yang, An Lushan's hometown, would ride there without hesitation if he was afraid of Li Kuo.

    "Don't be so excited. Things have to be handled one by one!" Zhou Wuwei spread his hands and said, "Come and see this report. General Guo Ziyi hopes that you can help besiege Chang'an."

    Hearing this, Li Kuo sneered and said, "Guo Ziyi? Does he know that the Hunjun and I are at odds with each other now? And he still asked me to work for the Hunjun?"

    Why could Li Heng boss him around like this? Why could he kill Zhongliang wantonly? Is it just because he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

    Zhou Wuwei sighed: "You are not going to work for that stupid king, you are fighting for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the country! Didn't you tell me that the country of the Tang Dynasty is not the country of one family, we protect it  It¡¯s just our own homeland! What¡¯s more, General Guo Ziyi thinks that there is some misunderstanding between the Hunjun and you. If you are willing to participate in the counter-rebellion in Chang¡¯an City, he can come forward as your guarantee to dispel the Hunjun¡¯s prejudice against you and let you  He withdraws his will to encircle and suppress you."

    ps: It¡¯s almost over, Kavin, ah ah.
