Shi Xueting pulled him back and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

Li Congjia asked: "Your tone was so serious just now, how could I not be nervous?"

This is a matter of success or failure. They seem to be very comfortable now, but they are actually very dangerous. Once something happens, even if Zhao Kuangyin comes to rescue immediately, it may not be in time.

Shi Xueting said: "Don't be too nervous, although it will affect a little bit, but it's not too much."

Li Congjia was expressionless: "Can you tell me what happened first?"

"Ugu rebelled against Liao."

After hearing this, Li Congjia was taken aback for a moment, closed his eyes and thought about it, then sighed and said, "It's really a bit troublesome."

Shi Xueting said: "It's not very troublesome, it's just internal conflicts. Although Wu Gu is a big tribe, he can't compete with the entire Khitan, and the Khitan may not give up their invasion of the Central Plains in order to suppress the rebellion."

Li Congjia didn't speak, and said in his heart, you don't know, the Khitan was defeated this time, and Xiangwen Sengyin, who led the army to conquer Wugu, was directly killed. Wenchusi led the army to conquer for the marching capital, which made the Wugu tribe afraid and killed their chief and surrendered.

Therefore, after the defeat of Xiangwen Sengyin, the center of the entire Khitan war must be counterinsurgency. Li Congjia thought of this and said: "Go to sleep first, and discuss tomorrow how to take Chang'an as quickly as possible."

Feeling Li Congjia's vague anxiety, Shi Xueting patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we no longer provide weapons to Bei Zhou, but Nan Zhou is still trading. Southern Zhou and Northern Zhou are at odds, and Northern Zhou is even more wary of them. "

Li Congjia's peace of mind was not only because of the confrontation between Bei Zhou and Nan Zhou, but because he remembered that his weapons were much better than Bei Zhou's. The reason why they went deep into the enemy's rear now was to minimize casualties—no way , They are few and cannot afford to die.

Li Congjia closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Shi Xueting hugged him and looked at the moonlight outside. He always felt that there was an unreal feeling. He was just worried that Li Congjia would be impulsive, but he felt in his heart that Li Congjia With his current status, if he wants to be impulsive, there will definitely be a bunch of people stopping him. He never expected that Li Congjia would actually come here.

Before Shi Xueting couldn't restrain his impulse, he also wanted to confirm that Li Congjia was really by his side, otherwise, in a place like the military camp, he shouldn't have done such a thing, Zhou Ye and Yang Xin knew it too, But it's not good if more people know about it.

It's just that Li Congjia's connivance always made Shi Xueting unable to hold back, Shi Xueting sighed slightly, closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Li Congjia didn't want to wake up, feeling that he didn't need any strength from the waist down, but today he had to join Shi Xueting's department, and he couldn't leave, so Li Congjia could only get up and wash with a bitter face.

Shi Xueting approached Li Congjia and asked, "Why don't I carry you behind my back?"

Li Congjia pushed his face away, and said angrily, "Come on."

Are you really afraid that others will not know what the two of them did last night?One must know that Li Congjia had been alive and kicking before, even Zhou Ye, who was many years younger than him, couldn't stand it, and he was still able to give advice to the country with Gao Huaide, but after seeing Shi Xueting, he withered away. Everyone really couldn't see it. ah?

Shi Xueting had no choice but to rub Li Congjia's waist. After almost having an accident, Li Congjia finally felt better, but today he walked more reservedly.

Fortunately, the place where Shi Xueting hoarded troops was not far away, and the place he chose was not bad. It was a small valley. Not only was the terrain flat in the valley, there was actually a lake, so the problem of drinking water had been solved. However, After Li Congjia went there, he found that Shi Xueting had let them reclaim the fields!

Li Congjia asked dumbfounded: "Are you... are you going to take root here? Why are you still planting land?"

Shi Xueting said with a smile: "The grain and grass we brought were limited before. If we let Zhao Kuangyin transport them here, it would be easy to be exposed. We might as well grow some easy-to-cook side dishes. Adding hunting, we can always reduce the consumption of grain and grass."

Li Congjia almost forgot about this matter before, but after hearing it, he was very convinced. The Han people have really written farming into their genes.

But after thinking about it for a while, he knew that Shi Xueting must be suffering with the soldiers these days, and he felt distressed immediately, and frowned and said: "It won't work like this, and the food and grass I brought are limited, why don't we open up a food road."

Shi Xueting said: "Don't worry, you are here, Zhao Kuangyin can also start to make a move. As long as he makes a move and Bei Zhou responds, we don't have to hide for a long time."

Li Congjia said: "Zhou Ye, I wrote a letter to Ziting and waited to send it over, so that he can hurry up sooner rather than later."

In order to eliminate Li Congjia's hidden existence, Shi Xueting took him around the camp and found that the soldiers' mental state was not bad, Li Congjia was slightly relieved.

What surprised Li Congjia the most was that Shi Xueting lived in a wooden house, and it looked very familiar.

After Li Congjia stood in front of the wooden house and looked at it for a long time, he smiled and said, "The one you built for me back then is similar to this one."

The only difference is that this wooden house is smaller, Shi Xueting asked: "Do you still remember?"

Li Congjia said: "Of course I remember, how many years have passed?"

"Eight years." Shi Xueting replied.

After hearing this, Li Congjia was quite emotional: "Yes, it has been eight years."

It has been eight years since he crossed over, and he remembered less and less about the things before the crossing, otherwise, it would not be after Shi Xueting said it that he remembered Wu Gu's rebellion against Liao, and he began to think Do you want to record everything before you completely forget it?

But in a blink of an eye, I feel that it is unnecessary. No matter where the records are, it is very unsafe. Even if it is in simplified characters, it does not rule out that smart people can decipher it. What's more, history has changed too much now, and the Northern Song Dynasty is gone. It has affected many things, and what he remembers may not be useful.

Li Congjia followed Shi Xueting into the wooden house, thinking that there was nothing in his mind, and his spirit was a little distracted. Shi Xueting pinched his chin and kissed him when no one was around, and then pulled his back. attention.

Li Congjia came back to his senses, looked outside nervously, and then lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy?"

Shi Xueting let go of his chin and smiled without speaking. Li Congjia said helplessly, "Okay, where is the map? You said earlier that an ambush has been set up. Where are they?"

After Li Congjia asked, he felt that it was unnecessary to ask this kind of thing. Anyway, even if Shi Xueting said it, he half understood it. If it was just to change the topic, this topic is not fun at all.

Shi Xueting did not despise him, and immediately asked someone to bring the map, Li Congjia thought about it and asked someone to call Gao Huaide over.

Shi Xueting described several points of his arrangement in detail, and Li Congjia thought the arrangement he made was very good no matter what he heard, but he was also worried that his beauties were in the eyes of his lover, so he turned to look at Gao Huaide. After the undisguised admiration on Gao Huaide's face, Li Congjia knew that Shi Xueting had not lost the chain again.

So, just waiting for Zhao Kuangyin and Pan Mei to do it, it doesn't matter which of these two people comes first. Pan Mei is more anxious to finish the task quickly, and then go back to find Li Congjia. More than half of the reason why he came out this time is to protect Li Congjia , As a result, Li Congjia brought him here!

In case something happened to Li Congjia on the way, even if he took orders to leave, he might not get any good results!

As a result, Pan Mei didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin was even more anxious than him. He heard the news that Zhao Kuangyin's troops had left Jingzhao Mansion, and pushed the small town very fast along the way.

It's okay if you don't go fast, Zhao Kuangyin is anxious, he wants to take down Chang'an quickly and bring Li Congjia back, but no matter how anxious he is, he will fight steadily. When he takes down a place, he will gather the files of that place, and the officials and gentry will arrest him and wait for Li Congjia's release.

He has never caused a lot of casualties no matter whether it is the enemy or himself. Before fighting, he will call for battle. If the opponent is scared, he will naturally open the city gate to welcome them in. If he insists on not surrendering, then Zhao Kuangyin will let people blow up the city wall first. Of course, only one side was fried, and when it was their turn to repair after they were all fried, it was all money.

Even if a city wall is bombed, after the bombing, the city will have no choice but to surrender. Some backbone officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died directly in the city, and those who were a little bit desperate were caught in prisons to wait for their punishment.

It has to be said that the city construction around Chang'an is better than other places, but it is limited. After all, it has not been a capital city for many years because of the inconvenience.

Zhao Kuangyin advanced all the way, and when the soldiers approached the city of Chang'an, Li Congjia and Shi Xueting also fought hand-to-hand with Bei Zhou.

Li Congjia was eager to go to the battlefield and Yang Wei, but Shi Xueting held him down and said, "Don't make trouble for everyone."

After Gao Huaide heard this, he was shocked. He didn't expect Shi Xueting to speak to Li Congjia so unceremoniously. He immediately lowered his head, as if he didn't exist, and was still tangled in his heart. If Li Congjia got angry, should he give Shi Xue Court begging for mercy?

After a few days of getting along with each other briefly, Gao Huaide has already admired Shi Xueting very much. In his opinion, if this national teacher is not a monk, he must have a position as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Not bad.

However, Shi Xueting and Zhao Kuangyin are 12 years apart!

Li Congjia didn't keep Gao Huaide entangled for too long, he sighed regretfully and said, "Then go back early."

He also knew that this kind of thing was unrealistic, so if Shi Xueting refused, he didn't force it.

Shi Xueting couldn't see his disappointment the most, but let Li Congjia down and put him in danger, Shi Xueting still chose the former, he thought for a while and said: "It's better to send someone to escort you after a while Go and join Zi Tinghou."

In this way, Li Congjia sits there, and when he finally attacks Chang'an, Li Congjia can lead his troops to take Chang'an under the condition of ensuring his own victory, and brush his reputation points by the way.

Li Congjia knew what Shi Xueting meant, but shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine here."

Li Congjia doesn't need military merits to do something, as for leaving his name in history... At this point, Li Congjia feels that there must be a few lines of him in the history books. If he can really rule the world, it is not a matter of almost writing. Instead, he passed it on to him alone!

In this case, he doesn't need to be famous, and he doesn't need to go down with his ministers to claim credit.Especially when Zhao Kuangyin performed well in the previous attack on the Shu Kingdom, he was lying down for a long time due to poisoning.

Li Congjia had his own ideas, and Shi Xueting didn't persuade him too much. Anyway, as long as you don't go to the front line, you can do whatever you like.

When Li Congjia waited for Gao Huaide to go out to prepare, he took Shi Xueting to his bedroom and began to undress.

Shi Xueting was taken aback by him: "Chongguang?"

In the past Li Congjia didn't like to do it during the day, what's wrong?What stimulated you?Is it because he disagrees with Li Congjia going to the battlefield?

Li Congjia didn't speak. After taking off his coat, he revealed the soft gold silk armor inside. He also took off the soft gold silk armor and handed it to Shi Xueting, saying, "Put it on."

Shi Xueting calmed down slightly, didn't answer but said: "What are you doing taking it off? Put it back on quickly."

Li Congjia shook his head: "I am very safe here, there will be no problems, but you, how can you do without armor?"

Shi Xueting couldn't laugh or cry: "I have it too."

After all, he is also the commander of the first army, and the Ministry of Finance also has his share in these inner armors. Among other things, Datang still takes good care of the generals who are fighting outside.

Li Congjia insisted: "Not as good as me."

That must be inferior, the golden silk soft armor is very precious, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to make such a piece, and ordinary ministers can't wear it.

Seeing that Shi Xueting refused, Li Congjia said, "If I am in danger here, it must be because you can't come back, so what's the point of me staying? You wear it, and if you encounter danger, I will protect you." Life."

Shi Xueting couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to wear the golden silk soft armor on his body, and he could vaguely feel Li Congjia's body temperature.

Li Congjia picked up his coat and was about to put it back on, but Shi Xueting pulled him onto the bed, not only didn't put it back on, he even took off the inside.

Fortunately, Shi Xueting was more restrained this time, the two of them came out of the room quickly, and there was no one looking for them, so they didn't reveal their secrets.

Of course, someone might have come to look for him, but Chunsheng stopped him.

After lunch, Shi Xueting took people away, and Li Congjia sat down and began to review the memorial. He was also convinced by those ministers, and he hid in the mountains, but he still sent someone to send the memorial to him for review.

However, letters written by Li Zhongyu are still mixed in today's memorials. Every time Li Congjia reads his letters first, thinks carefully and writes the letters before reviewing other memorials.

Regarding Li Zhongyu's education, Li Congjia has always been at a loss. He has never raised a child, and he doesn't know how to teach it, especially to teach a future emperor. The most important thing is that he himself has not received any emperor education. He was groping all the way, and many of his experiences may not be applicable to Li Zhongyu.

Therefore, except for some established homework, Li Congjia never asked Li Zhongyu what to do in an orderly tone, but just wrote out his own ideas and left it to Li Zhongyu to choose.

He doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. As the future king of Tang, if he is lucky, Li Zhongyu will be the emperor in the future. He needs an independent way of thinking instead of simply listening to his parents.

Li Congjia regarded him as an independent individual, and his communication methods were more open, which also made Li Zhongyu closer to him.

Zhou Zong and others felt that Li Congjia doted on Li Zhongyu more than once, but he didn't think it was bad, as long as Li Zhongyu's character didn't deteriorate, it would be enough to be a conservative king in the future.

After Li Congjia finished writing the letter, Shi Xueting's good news also happened to be sent over. The task of intercepting Bei Zhou's reinforcements went very smoothly. Now it's up to Zhao Kuangyin. After all, Bei Zhou will continue to send people here, but Shi Xueting and the others may not be able to How long they hold on, they can only intercept for a while, after a few days, I am afraid they will go back to meet Zhao Kuangyin.

After reading the battle report sent by Shi Xueting, Li Congjia thought for a while and said, "Let everyone start packing up and preparing to evacuate."

Bei Zhou valued Chang'an more than he expected. Judging from the vanguard, there are probably many people behind. Li Congjia was unwilling to use such a small number of people to fight Bei Zhou, so he simply sent people to lay an ambush at the location designated by Shi Xueting, and then Quickly withdraw the army.

When Shi Xueting came back, Li Congjia was ready to evacuate, almost as soon as he and Gao Huaide came back to take a rest, they followed the team all the way to Chang'an.

Shi Xueting suffered some minor injuries, and Li Congjia let him take the same car with him in a grandiose manner. While in the car, Shi Xueting seemed in a good mood: "When we left, by the way, send someone to intercept the other party's Food and grass, it’s a pity that they can’t be brought back, so they can only be burned.”

Li Congjia was very surprised: "What? You also burned their food and grass?"

Shi Xueting nodded: "Without food and grass, their army dare not act rashly. It is estimated that they have already gone to Tongzhou."

There is a free warehouse in Tongzhou. If Shi Xueting was an official of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he would definitely send the army to transport grain to the nearby warehouse in Tongzhou.

Li Congjia pulled out a letter and said: "Just now, Pan Mei sent a message that the righteous warehouse in Tongzhou, or the food in the righteous warehouse, has fallen into his hands."

After Shi Xueting read it once, he was very relieved: "I was still thinking about how to send people to Tongzhou without being discovered. Fortunately, you thought of it."

"That is, I can't see anything else. If you still can't see your intention here, I probably have to abdicate."

Seeing his proud look, Shi Xueting couldn't help leaning over to kiss him.

The two discussed this all the way, and Li Congjia felt that he had learned a lot of knowledge, but most of this knowledge was just on paper.

When they arrived in Fufeng, Zhao Kuangyin was just making final arrangements for attacking Chang'an.

After Zhao Kuangyin explained all the strategies to Li Congjia, he said, "Please correct me, Your Highness."

Li Congjia turned his head to look at Shi Xueting, Shi Xueting shook his head, Zhao Kuangyin's military ability is in today's Datang, no one dares to say he is number one if he is second, since he has already set everything, Shi Xue Ting naturally couldn't say anything more, not to mention he didn't see anything wrong.

Li Congjia said with a smile: "Since Zi Tinghou is ready, let's do it."

Zhao Kuangyin heaved a sigh of relief. He made this plan overnight. Since he received the news that Li Congjia and Shi Xueting were coming, he got up and began to think about how to do it, saying that he judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Well, he was very worried that Li Congjia would let Shi Xueting take the credit.

He fought all the way to appease him before, and seeing that he was about to win, and then rushed out to take the biggest fruit, Zhao Kuangyin would probably die of anger, even if he couldn't fight back, he would not do his best for Datang in the future.

So he made this first to test Li Congjia, to see if Li Congjia was afraid that his contribution would be too great to be controlled.

Fortunately, Li Congjia didn't mean that. Even Zhao Kuangyin asked Li Congjia to supervise the battle, but Li Congjia refused.

Li Congjia said: "I just came here this time because I couldn't sit still at Zendan, so I found an excuse to come and take a look. You don't need to worry about me, what should I do, I believe everyone will not let me down."

Zhao Kuangyin immediately beamed with joy, repeatedly promising that he would take Chang'an smoothly.

Zhao Kuangyin led the troops away, and Li Congjia and Shi Xueting stayed in the barracks to rest. In fact, Li Congjia really wanted Shi Xueting and Zhao Kuangyin to take Chang'an together, but Shi Xueting didn't want to show off the limelight.

Zhao Kuangyin did live up to everyone's expectations. It took only five days to bring down Chang'an. After a short rest, he sent people to welcome Li Congjia into the city.

When Li Congjia stood in front of the gate of Chang'an City, looking at the tall and majestic city walls, he was inevitably a little excited. After entering the city, although the streets were a little bit depressed, because of the proper planning, he was still in a good mood.

It's a pity that half of this good mood disappeared in an instant after seeing the ruins of Daming Palace.

He is still too late, the Daming Palace has long been burned, and what he sees now is nothing but ruins. If he can go forward for another few decades and 100 years, maybe he can still witness the last of the Daming Palace. brilliant.

But if that was the case, he might not meet Shi Xueting. Between Daming Palace and Shi Xueting, Li Congjia felt that he would still choose Shi Xueting. reconstruction!After all, it has only been so many years, so if you look around, you might be able to find the blueprints from that year!

Seeing the sobs on Li Congjia's face, Shi Xueting couldn't help comforting him, "Don't worry, we'll immediately summon labor and rebuild the Daming Palace."

Li Congjia responded softly and said, "I heard that the Jiucheng Palace is still there? I'll wait until I live there. Don't be too anxious about rebuilding. Don't force the people."

After all, it's a new land, and it's too late to appease. If you get a bunch of corvees first, someone might rebel.

However, soon Li Congjia got a reply from the following people: Sorry, dear, the Daming Palace cannot be built.

The author has something to say: Li Congjia: As soon as I come out, why do you feel like you let yourself go?

Shi Xueting: Don't you like the tree house I built?Still dislike something less?Well, I also prepared a lot of good things for you.

Li Congjia: ...
