On the small schoolyard of the General Qianniu Guard, the sound of hooves was heard. Liu Ruyan, wearing a fiery red armor, combined with people and horses, as if they were swimming dragons, and the spear in his hand was like a spiritual snake. When he danced to the bottom, the blue gun shadow almost blocked the fiery red shadow. With a crisp shout, the gun shadow was stopped and the war horse man stood up. Liu Ruyan held the reins in one hand and pointed the spear in the other hand. Her heroic appearance immediately ushered in the crisp applause of a group of people standing on the side of the small schoolyard. Even Mrs. Wang, who was holding the baby in his arms, also had a smile on her face.

After rolling over and dismounting, Liu Ruyan ran to Mrs. Wang in a flash. The heroine's appearance just now disappeared immediately, replaced by a somewhat flattering smile: "My grandma, don't worry, I will protect you and return to Wuyi safely."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "I don't like you to dance with guns and sticks in normal times, but I never expected that I will rely on your skills now."

Liu Ruyan laughed and wanted to reach out to take the child from Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang shrank back: "You are wearing armor!"

"Oh!" Liu Ruyan suddenly realized and waved her hand. The little cicada, who was also armed, immediately walked over with a roll of things.

"Mom, this is a piece of golden silk armor that the Empress in the Palace. It is made of golden silk and a kind of haired monkey in the Qinling Mountains. It is gentle and close to the body, and it is not heavy. More importantly, it has a strong protective ability. My mother wears it close to the body."

Mrs. Wang shook her head: "What do I want it to do? I am a real chicken-free hand. Wearing it will only make me feel uncomfortable. And if I want to use it to protect myself, I am afraid that the situation will not be good. What's the use of it or not? You should wear it."

"My mother!"

"No need to say anything." Mrs. Wang shook her head firmly and walked into the house with her child in her arms: "Mr. Gongsun is here, and he must have something to ask you to tell me. Go and clean up the baby. He is no better than us adults. He can endure any kind of environment. We can take less and even not bring anything, and he can't lose the same thing."

"It's better if you have my mother in charge of everything." Liu Ruyan nodded repeatedly.

After seeing off Mrs. Wang, Liu Ruyan turned around and met Gongsun Changming.

"Madam!" Gongsun Changming bowed.

"How is the army?" Liu Ruyan asked with some concern. She originally did not agree to let the soldiers leave the camp and say goodbye and send the settlement fee, because she was worried that the soldiers would collapse. But Gongsun Changming insisted on doing this, because this time he was heading north would inevitably be in bloody battles. A team without centripetal force and cohesion would not only not help him, but would even harm them. Instead of doing so, he might as well find another way. So there would be no chance to make up for it.

Gongsun Changming smiled on his face: "Madam, one day in the middle of the night, five thousand Niuwei, and more than 4,500 people returned to the camp. We were overjoyed. We originally thought that it was all that, but we didn't expect that after another night, more than 400 people returned. They did not return to the camp in time because the journey was long. Now it has been basically confirmed that there were only 78 people who returned to the team."

It is not for Gongsun Changming to be so happy. The timely return of these soldiers proves that their affairs in the past two years have not been done in vain. This army has truly become a team with combat effectiveness, cohesion and centripetal force.

Gongsun Changming, who was hanging among the army, knew how difficult it would be for an army to do this.

But now, they did.

"That's great." Liu Ruyan hit her palms and showed joy. In this way, they now have more than 6,000 elite forces, five thousand Niu Guards, and more than 1,000 elite teams sneaking from Wuyi. If Qin Zhao brought the 3,000 yuan from Tongguan in advance, nearly 10,000 troops would definitely be a powerful force.

"The seventy-eight people who did not return, Chen Bingtuhu and the others thought they should be captured and beheaded and displayed in public to strictly enforce the military rules." Gongsun Changming said: "What do you think, Madam?"

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, but shook her head: "When it comes to military laws, we should naturally kill them, but when it comes to human feelings, it is not. Maybe they have a last resort! Of course, military laws are greater than human feelings, so just think that I will ask for personal favors for them, which is to accumulate good deeds for the baby."

"Since the lady has spoken, let's just let this matter go." Gongsun Changming nodded.

"How to solve the military rations this time?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"The Hu people have already prepared, but each soldier can only carry military rations for ten days." Gongsun Changming said: "Of course, there are still supplies along the way from Chang'an to Tongguan."

"In other words, if we only have ten days to leave Tongguan?" Liu Ruyan said slightly.

"We are all cavalry!" Gongsun Changming said: "The war horses in the horse farm near Chang'an, which are useful, have been conquered by us. Moreover, Zhaoyi's situation is relatively complicated now. There are many old subordinates of the Xue family, and they may not necessarily follow Zhu Wen wholeheartedly, so Xue Ping has set out now, and he wants to convince those who may submit to us."

"He wants to die?" Liu Ruyan asked in shock.

"People always do something and do not do anything. Xue Ping is a person worthy of admiration." Gongsun Changming said: "After we advanced this time, we first walked along the border between Zhaoyi and the river. The river's current attitude is ambiguous, but it can also be used by us."

"Since everything has been made by sir, I will feel at ease. At that time, I will bring a thousand elite troops in Wuyi as the assault vanguard. Mr. will take charge of the central army. My mother's safety will be handed over to sir." Liu Ruyan said.

"Slaying the tiger is your vanguard." Gongsun Changming said.

"Can he beat me?" Liu Ruyan said: "If he thought he could not beat me, he would not have to fight with me. His subordinates were not suitable for the battlefield charge, so he asked Tu Hu to take them and my female soldiers to protect Ah Niang, Baby and Mr. Gongsun."

Gongsun Changming had expected this result long ago. He knew Liu Ruyan's skills and knew about Tuhu Tu. Compared with that, although Tuhu Tu was stronger than Chen Bing and Chu Sheng, he was still much worse than Liu Ruyan. In Gongsun Changming's view, Liu Ruyan should be similar to Tu Lichun, and was only worse than Shi Zhuang and Liu Chenglin.

In such a battle, a general who is the bravest of the three armies will arouse the soldiers' greatest desire to fight, and can also tear a gap for their team and open the door to victory.

Liu Ruyan gently stroked the green spear on her hand, but her eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

At this time, in the palace, Emperor Li Yan was also facing several of his most important officials.

"I have decided to hunt north." Li Yan said.

Tian Lingzi had long known in his heart and his face remained unchanged. The Central Secretariat Ling Wang Shu, Shangshu Ling Chen Bi, Zuo Pushe Wang Duo and others all changed their expressions.

"Your Majesty, even if you want to leave Chang'an, you don't have to go to Wuwei. Now the road from Chang'an to Wuwei has been cut off. If you want to go through it, you have to go through bloody battles. It is hard to say that the danger is so dangerous. I ask Your Majesty to go to Yizhou." Wang Shu bowed. "Yizhou is natural and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The land there is fertile and numerous people, which is enough to become the place for Your Majesty to revive it."

"You can't go to Yizhou." Zuo Pushe Wang Duo all opposed it: "Shu Wang, have you forgotten who is in power in Yizhou? That's the clan relative, Ang Lee. Your Highness, King Fu, is loyal. Do you think Ang Lee is the same? Your Majesty is like taking a strong army away, so naturally he is fine, but now, His Majesty is almost alone, and when he arrives in that place, he is assured of safety?"

"How dare Ang Lee do such a big rebellion!"

"Why don't you dare?" Tian Lingzi said sternly: "Didn't Zhu Wen do this? He is just a soldier leader! If you shouldn't say anything, if Your Majesty goes there, you might be gone for no reason."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the one who cannot trust the most is the clan. Whether it is Ang Lee from Yizhou or Li Yu from Lingnan, they may not be in the same position as the court. If you have to leave Chang'an, I agree to go to Wuyi."

"It's not just from this aspect, in terms of the troops that can protect His Majesty's departure, now only Qianniu Guards and Yuan Cong Guards are still in battle. Everyone knows that Qianniu Guards are so strong that they must go to Wuyi. If you go to another place, will Your Majesty expect Qin Zhao's 3,000 yuan from the Guards? What's more, Wuyi's military strength is now strong, and where does Your Majesty go? It's just around the corner to counterattack Chang'an."

"Don't argue anymore. I have decided to go to Wuyi." Li Yan said weakly: "But this time I went there, I was just a light car and I only took the queen and the prince away. In order not to make Chang'an scared, I will leave quietly. Therefore, now I need a minister to be able to preside over the overall situation in Chang'an. I wonder who would stay in Chang'an?"

There was silence inside the house.

After a long time, Wang Duo stood up resolutely, "I would like to stay in Chang'an. I am old and I am afraid I will not be able to get through the bumpy road."

After hesitating for a while, the Secretary Wang Shu and the Secretary Chen Bi also stood up and said, "I am willing to stay in Chang'an."

"Okay, okay!" Li Yan nodded and said, "If you can guard it, you cannot guard it. I promise you to protect yourself and be useful, so that you can serve me again after I attack Chang'an in the future."

When Li Yan arranged for his affairs after he left Chang'an, Tu Hu was also talking to another person in another place in Chang'an City.

"Hao Ren, your youngest son has officially entered the school at Wuwei Academy. He likes the law, so he was taught by Mr. Chunyu Yue himself." Tu Hu smiled. "I really didn't expect that you, a man who was in the underworld, gave birth to a son, actually likes the law."

Hao Ren laughed dryly and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Tu for your help."

"It's not about helping, it's just mutual benefit. You have provided us with a lot of valuable information these days." Tu Hu smiled and said, "Your eldest son is a general under Zhu Wen's account, and your younger son is enrolled in Wuyi and bets on both sides. No matter who wins the final victory, your Hao family will be destined to be successful. There are many places we will cooperate in the future. Do you think so?"

“That’s nature, that’s nature.”
