Zhao Kuangyin's first reaction when he heard that Li Congjia was going to Fengzhou was that this guy is crazy.

Wouldn't it be self-inflicted to go to Toyosu at this time?

But Li Congjia said plausibly: "You think so and they also think so, can't we run away?"

The question is who is going to escape not to his own home, but to the enemy's lair!

Li Congjia added: "We didn't discuss it before. If Fengzhou really sends troops, now is a good time to attack Fengzhou."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "Then let's go, but I don't know if I can come back after this trip."

Li Congjia raised his head and said pretendingly: "What are you afraid of? When I came to this world, I didn't intend to go back alive."

Zhao Kuangyin... Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth, thinking that if this was his son, he would have to break his leg.

So the two of them started their escape career like this. In fact, Li Congjia's idea was not particularly brilliant. After all, he could think of the Khitan people, and there were so many Khitan people. kind of search.

Li Congjia and the others were quite exhausted trying to hide from these scouts. In the process, Zhao Kuangyin was very worried that Li Congjia's body and mind would not be able to hold on, because even those who have actually been on the battlefield may not be able to withstand this pressure.

Yes, all the pressure is actually on Li Congjia now. After all, he is the supreme commander. The only thing Zhao Kuangyin can do is to dissuade him. However, when his dissuasion fails, he can only choose to obey orders.

No way, even if he wanted to betray Li Congjia, Li Congjia brought out people from Tiance Mansion and Firearms Camp. These two armies were loyal to Li Congjia and couldn't be more loyal. If Zhao Kuangyin listened to Li Congjia, these soldiers would also Will listen to him, if he won't listen, then sorry... the first thing these soldiers do is probably kill him.

Otherwise, Zhao Kuangyin would have forced Li Congjia back long ago. Even if he fought with Ying Tianjun, he would have sacrificed some people. As long as he could send Li Congjia back safely, he would have done nothing wrong. As for the dead... there was nothing he could do about it , maybe I can use this to teach Li Congjia a lesson, so that he will not be so willful next time!

But now Zhao Kuangyin can only accompany Willful, he is also very helpless.

To be honest, no one can sleep well when camping every day. Zhao Kuangyin can clearly see that Li Congjia is losing weight. Since the last time Shi Xueting had an accident, Li Congjia lost weight quickly because of worry, and quickly returned to normal weight. This time was obviously stronger than the last time, because the last time was in Chang'an, even if Li Congjia couldn't eat anymore, someone would persuade him to eat.

But now on the grassland, it's not that he is not given food, but that there are not enough supplies. Li Congjia has set an example by himself and doesn't eat much. The most important thing is that he is under a lot of psychological pressure, although he has always been very calm and commanding. Although Zhao Kuangyin was by his side, he could feel his anxiety to some extent.

It's really...there are too many Khitan troops. Dongsheng Prefecture is not far from Toyosu, otherwise it would be impossible to respond to each other, but they have already walked for ten days!

During these ten days, they kept encountering the Khitan army, and kept changing directions. In the end, even Zhao Kuangyin himself was surprised, how could there be so many troops?

Li Congjia looked at the map and said, "We can't avoid it anymore."

Zhao Kuangyin looked up at him, and Li Congjia pointed to the map and said: "We are probably at this position now, but I'm not sure, if we change directions so frequently, we will only end up in the end, that is, get lost in the grassland, and It doesn’t matter if you don’t get supplies for a long time, if you encounter a smaller Khitan army in the future, you will fight, learn from their methods, and support war with war!”

After Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he was really relieved. To be honest, he has never been so aggrieved since he led the army. Support, if Li Congjia is really passionate and rushes to the front, he will be worried instead.

Now he decided to support Li Congjia mainly because the opponent had thought it through carefully, and he didn't just fight when he saw someone, but chose to rob some relatively small troops.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Kuangyin said: "But if this is the case, the number of Khitan search teams may increase if the number of times increases."

Li Congjia sat cross-legged on the ground and said without image: "Don't worry, Yelujing may have given the order for us to be chased now, but no matter how much he values ​​this side, he sent some people to Xiangzhou, and some people can't move lightly." It is impossible to transfer all the troops here. If the Khitan team is merged, the number may not decrease, and the number of teams will decrease in that way. For us It’s also a peace of mind, the possibility of encountering them will become very low, if you encounter a serious problem again, why not run away.”

You really can think about it, Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, and felt that there was no better way than this, so he had to agree.

Li Congjia yawned and said, "Okay, go back to sleep, I haven't had a good rest these two days, I hope to go to Fengzhou..."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin got up and left, fearing that his head would hurt if he heard too much, and went to Fengzhou... He hoped that they would have a chance to rest after arriving in Fengzhou!

Li Congjia didn't care either. If it wasn't for Zhao Kuangyin, he would definitely not have made such a decision. His biggest reliance now is this cheat. The officer on the other side must not be able to beat Zhao Kuangyin!

Li Congjia lay down and looked at the top of the tent, not knowing whether it was late at night or exhausted, he couldn't fall asleep for a while, and began to think about whether his choice was right or not.

Zhao Kuangyin said at the time that he could send someone else to come, but this is obviously a matter of death, just to help Shi Xueting divert Khitan's attention, who would be willing to come?Even if the order is really forced, maybe he will turn against him when he arrives in Khitan. Anyway, he will die, and if he turns against Yelvjing, he may still live!

What can Li Congjia do in this situation?He can only come by himself, and fool a coolie by the way, although I am a little sorry for Lao Zhao, but... who made Lao Zhao his in-laws?

Only Zhao Kuangyin can be pitted, Zhao Kuangyin will not directly turn into a leading party, and the rest will be dangerous to everyone.

I just don't know how Shi Xueting is doing now?What would happen if he got the news?

What else?Shi Xueting was almost dying of anxiety, he was now thinking about whether it would be feasible to go back and lead someone to rescue Li Congjia, but this idea just flashed in his mind and was rejected by him.

Now Yelvjing probably doesn't know that Li Congjia went by himself. If he knew, he would use all the power of the whole country to chase and intercept him. At that time, he could really only prepare for Li Congjia's funeral. Shi Xueting thought for a long time, and finally decided to be himself To speed up the pace, it would be great if Yelvjing could be so overwhelmed that he didn't have the time to take care of it. Anyway, now Li Congjia is pretending to be a party member.

It's a pity that the party members will suffer. It is estimated that when Yelujing comes to his senses, he will declare war on the party. If he can't beat the Tang Dynasty, he will not be able to march into the Central Plains. Where can he fight if he doesn't fight the party?

Shi Xueting looked up at the sky, he only hoped that Li Congjia could last for a while, now he only hoped that they could meet again, and then... drag him over and beat him up!

Shi Xueting decided not to soften his heart this time, now Datang has no one who can restrain Li Congjia, if he doesn't care anymore, I'm afraid this one will dare to go to heaven and earth in the future!

Li Congjia, who was being missed by Shi Xueting, sneezed twice in a row. After the sneezes, he began to think, did he catch a cold?This place is really too cold. If you really catch a cold, on this grassland... this is a terrible rhythm.

Li Congjia felt that he couldn't die, so he got up and wrapped all the clothes he could find around his body, finally he no longer felt cold and was ready to fall asleep.

As a result, not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by the noise outside.

Li Congjia lay there with his eyes closed, trying not to get angry or growl. Everyone knew that even the best-tempered person would want to kill someone if he was woken up during the deepest sleep.

Just when he was trying to open his eyes and sit up to see what happened, someone came in from outside the tent, bringing in a gust of cold wind, which made Li Congjia feel refreshed instantly.

Li Congjia sat up and looked up at Zhao Kuangyin who had already put on his armor.

Anxious Zhao Kuangyin came in and saw Li Congjia who wrapped himself in a ball, he was speechless for a while before saying, "Your Highness, Khitan sneak attack!"

Li Congjia's heart tightened at the time, and he asked, "How did they find us?" He wanted to stand up, but because he was wearing too much clothes, he struggled for a long time but couldn't get up.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't stand it anymore. After walking over to pick him up, he helped remove the messy clothes on his body and said, "It was discovered by the Khitan army by accident while marching. It's bad luck, but the soldiers temporarily They have all resisted, the opponent already has the intention of retreating, and now he wants to ask you... do you want to chase?"

Li Congjia looked puzzled: "Aren't they going to sleep when marching in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Kuangyin had a vicissitudes of life on his face: Your focus is wrong, right?

Fortunately, Li Congjia came back to his senses quickly and said: "If it's not easy to chase, then don't chase, there are all kinds of pits on the grassland, we just leave quickly, anyway, it's not easy for them to find us on the grassland, isn't it?" .”

Yes, although the grassland may look flat, you may be walking on the ground at one second, and fall somewhere in the next second!

Not to mention potholes. There are a lot of wild rabbits on the grassland. The holes made by these rabbits often trap horses. Many horses step into the rabbit hole with one foot, and then...the horse's leg breaks!

The most important thing is that this is also very dangerous to the life of the knight. Anyway, the grassland looks calm, but in fact there are many dangers. In addition, there is no reference point, and a piece of green will feel tired after a long time.

Of course, Li Congjia is also very convinced of grassland plants that can grow to a similar height no matter where they grow.

Zhao Kuangyin finally got the order. After helping Li Congjia tidy up his clothes, he left him with the soldiers and turned around to deliver the order.

After Li Congjia was dressed, he patted his cheeks and went out to let the soldiers who followed him pack up. This time, because he was leading the soldiers, Li Congjia didn't let Chunsheng Taofu follow him. The two of them were helpless. To follow is to hold back.

They have been with Li Congjia for many years anyway, Li Congjia would still be reluctant to let Li Congjia give up on them.

After walking out, Li Congjia looked up at the stars in the sky. Since entering the prairie, his ability to judge the direction and time through the stars has grown rapidly. In terms of conversion, it feels like it is probably the darkest time of night.

Li Congjia looked around in the darkness, and sighed for a long time.Zhao Kuangyin sighed and thought that Li Congjia was going crazy, so he got on his horse and left.

Zhao Kuangyin talked to Li Congjia while walking, and Li Congjia responded a bit at first, but later found that Zhao Kuangyin's words became less and less nutritious, and even the question of whether tonight's dinner was good or not, and whether to continue eating tomorrow came out.

The problem is, they ate almost the same food every day for the past two days, okay?When supplies are in short supply, they have no choice of what to eat.

Li Congjia finally couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? Are you afraid of the dark? Talking so much?"

Zhao Kuangyin... Zhao Kuangyin almost became regicide violently!

Isn't he worried about Li Congjia after talking so much?I'm afraid that he won't be able to think about it for a while, but he can't comfort him. After all, there are so many soldiers following behind him. If Li Congjia has a problem, it will definitely blow the morale. He can only use this roundabout way.

But how could something wrong with Li Congjia?Back then in the Western Regions, the situation was not much better than this. Didn't he survive it anyway?

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he didn't say a word, Li Congjia felt a little boring again, and said, "Why don't you just talk."

Zhao Kuangyin was about to be turned into a puffer fish by Li Congjia.

At this time, the sky gradually became brighter. Li Congjia pushed Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Hey, I never thought I could watch the sunrise on the grassland. It looks pretty good, right? It feels different from watching it at the seaside."

Zhao Kuangyin asked, "How does it feel by the sea?"

Li Congjia asked strangely: "Haven't you seen it?"

Zhao Kuangyin was expressionless. Previously, Zhou’s territories were usually inland. Even if he attacked the southern countries, he did not reach the seaside. After his rebellion, he never went to the seaside. How could he have seen it?

Li Congjia said with a smile: "When I go back, I'll give you a vacation and go to the south to see."

Zhao Kuangyin said that first of all we need to be able to go back.

Li Congjia watched the sun rise little by little from the horizon, and when the sun was completely out of the horizon, he suddenly saw a little building at the end of his sight, and couldn't help pointing and asking, "What's over there?"

Zhao Kuangyin squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then immediately said: "It should be Fengzhou!"

That was obviously the outline of a city, and the city that appeared at this position on the grassland was most likely Fengzhou!

Li Congjia immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle. Even if it wasn't Fengzhou, it was still a city of Khitan, and they hadn't had any trouble fighting in the past.

Zhao Kuangyin received the command, turned around and gave detailed combat orders to the army behind, and waited for the scouts to bring back more accurate information.

After the scouts came back, they described what they saw in the city, emphasizing that it was heavily defended.

Since there is a heavy defense, Fengzhou is undoubtedly, Li Congjia said decisively: "Siege the city directly!"

Now that the sun has just risen, the people in Toyosu City probably haven't woken up yet, or even if they have just woken up, they may not be able to react. Direct attack at this time can minimize casualties.

Li Congjia did not choose to hide behind this time. They were just stolen from the camp last night. Although they drove people away, the blow to morale was very serious, because it would make the soldiers feel that they could not even sleep well.

After all, I was just worried in the past, and there was no such situation. Everyone can bear it. Now if the seeds of being stolen at night are planted in their hearts, then when it is time to rest, no one may dare to rest for fear of being stolen. Sometimes I sleep too dead, and I can't run away.

In this state, it is estimated that people will be useless in a few days. Li Congjia must find an outlet for everyone.

Now Fengzhou is the vent, and Li Congjia is not afraid, because he is surrounded by heavy firepower. The soldiers of the firearms battalion see this miniature version of the multi-barrel running around him. Basically, the opponent has not come yet. They stopped and fired a round of cannonballs.

In this way, Fengzhou City was caught off guard by a wave of heavy firepower. Both the defenders and the soldiers and civilians in the city were stunned. Even the recruitment envoy of the Fengzhou Recruitment Department was still lying on the concubine's bed He didn't wake up, but was called up and was covered in malice.

After the envoy got dressed, he found that the gates of the city were broken!

The envoy recalled the news that there was no one left in Dongshengzhou, and even the city was burned to ruins. He thought that these people were all devils, so he turned around and ran away!

As the saying goes, what kind of officer has what kind of subordinates, when he ran away, all the officers under him, big and small, packed up their things and ran away.

The fierce resistance Li Congjia imagined did not come. Instead, after opening the city gate, he saw the Khitan soldiers and civilians running away in all directions. Trample your own people to death!

Li Congjia stared dumbfounded at the chaos, and couldn't react for a while. It was Zhao Kuangyin who had seen the world, and directly ordered people to arrest all these people, and chase back those who ran away. Anyway, it is broad daylight now. Don't be afraid to get lost.

After Li Congjia came back to his senses, he said incredulously: "Who do they... think of us? Why are you so scared?"

Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself, isn't it because you are too fierce?It's fine to massacre the city, and burn the city, and replace it with a less courageous one. Seeing that the city is broken, there is no hope of resistance, so if you don't run, don't you wait for death?

Li Congjia looked up at the sky and said: "After arresting all the people, search the city for supplies, and then don't close the city gate, send some people to wear Khitan soldier's clothes to guard the city, and the rest rest!"

Although it was still daytime, Li Congjia felt that napping was not unforgivable because everyone was terrified last night, it was only possible that they could not sleep well.

In fact, there is no such thing as restless sleep. Everyone has been tired for so many days. Now that there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no need to worry about being attacked for a while, everyone feels more at ease.

Even Li Congjia lay down and fell asleep after arranging everything. Whether the bed was comfortable or not, and whether the quilt was soft enough was put aside. Those who can pay attention to these things are not tired enough!

When Li Congjia woke up, it was already the next morning.

Li Congjia finally drank the porridge, but he still felt very desperate about the fact that the side dish was jerky.

"For the food here, I want to go back."

Zhao Kuangyin accompanied Li Congjia to eat, and when he heard this sentence, he slapped his chopsticks on the table: "Just wait for your words, we still have supplies now, and the other party probably has lost control of our whereabouts. Let’s be more cautious, it’s not difficult to go back.”

Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "Look back, let's make a plan. Fengzhou is considered an important town, and there should be a lot of supplies. If you can take it away, you can take it away, and if you can't take it away, you will destroy it. But... Fengzhou is so important. Why did you send such a two hundred and five?"

Zhao Kuangyin replied: "I checked before, this person may be the Xiao family."

The descendant Xiao family?Li Congjia instantly understood that if it belonged to this family, it would not be so surprising, after all, it is a descendant family, and it is not strange for a big family to produce two wastes.

Zhao Kuangyin added another sentence: "Although Fengzhou is said to be an important military town, it is actually just to guard against party affairs. The party affairs have not done well in recent years. Generally, they do not take the initiative to attack on their own sites, so this place has become a gold-plated city. He is here to lead the army and be a recruiter, and he will probably be a general when he returns."

Li Congjia immediately said: "It would be great if all the Khitans were generals like this."

That is of course impossible, so they still have to carefully consider the next marching route.

After eating, Li Congjia stared at the map for a while, Zhao Kuangyin saw that he was silent, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

In the end, I heard Li Congjia say: "We...shall we go to Yunnei Prefecture again?"

Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes, he knew it was the result, not surprised, really not surprised, he asked seriously: "Are you serious?"

Li Congjia took it for granted: "Of course, the managers in Fengzhou are like this, maybe Yunnei Prefecture is also like this?"

Zhao Kuangyin said blankly, "Okay."

This time it was Li Congjia who was surprised: "So happy?"

The author has something to say: Li Congjia: Lao Zhao, you are so happy this time, it makes me a little uneasy.

Zhao Kuangyin: It’s nothing, just thinking that even if you die, you will be buried with you, so it’s worth it, come on, keep hurting each other~

Li Congjia: ...
