ps: The big fence will be launched on the end of the 29th of the month. This is the best recommendation that Muzi can get. There is only one chance. The editor and friends advise Muzi to spend less updates these days and a burst update will come when the big fence is released. However, Muzi is very strange. With the manuscript, he is always lazy. There is no way, let’s fight first, how much can you fight. This month has been written for almost a hundred chapters, so it’s not bad to work hard. Next month is the historical month of starting point, so you have to work harder. Brothers, Muzi has been working harder. Can you please add more energy and give more motivation, give some monthly tickets and rewards? Without monthly tickets, you can’t miss subscriptions. At least, remember to vote for free recommendation tickets and click likes!

(Thanks to killpig, the dream has never been completed. The wind and clouds are accompanied by the monthly tickets, rewards and chapters from several friends. Thank you everyone.)

At the northeast corner of Shuozhou, at the corner of the three states of Yunwei Dai, there is a city built shortly when Li Guochang was appointed as the Datong Defense Commander, named Jincheng.

This newly built city was built on the basis of Tianwang Village where the original Tianwang Temple was located. Because it was built, there were rumors that a golden phoenix flew out of a well in Tianwang Village, so it was also called Jinfeng City. The rest of Li Guochang named this city Jincheng because Li Guochang and Li Keyong and his son believed that Zhu Ye's family was from Jincheng in Longyou. In order to not forget their ancestors and miss their ancestors' former residence, they named it Jincheng. They also valued this city very much, used this city as a stronghold for settlement, and built many barriers around Jincheng. These castles were collectively called Sangang and Four Towns Guarding Jincheng.

Fifteen miles southeast of Jincheng City is the guard post. According to historical records, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Hong, once stationed here, hence the name.

Twenty miles east of Jincheng is Zhao Bagang. It is located at the foot of Longshou Mountain and the north bank of Hunhe River. The terrain is high and lying across the north and south. Guanyin Pavilion is built on the hill.

Huanghuagang, also known as Huanghuadui, is located at the junction of Huairen, Shanyin and Ying County, with a beam top of four hundred feet high. The old annals said that in ancient times, the yellow flowers of this hill shine gold. Hence the name, the Huanghua Temple was built on the hill.

These three pillars have great geographical advantages. Li Guochang built military camps on them and sent troops to them.

In addition to Sangang, four military towns were built on all sides of Jincheng, each stationed heavily to guard them.

They are Anbian Town, twenty miles east of the city, Sima Town, twenty miles west of the city, Shenwu Town, forty miles north of the city, and Daluo Town, forty miles south of the city.

The four towns occupied dangerous positions, each stationed in Shatuo and guarded Jincheng, the old nest of Shatuo Li Guochang and his son. The walls of Sangang and Four Towns were all three meters high, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Especially Shenwu Town was stationed in Shenwuchuan. Daluo Town was stationed in Dashanmenyukou. The newly built city of Jincheng was like a fortress.

However, even the most solid castle has to be guarded by people. On the city of Daluo Town, forty miles south of Jincheng, Liu looked into the distance, and always felt his eyelids twitching. Li Keyong couldn't listen to his persuasion and was reluctant to give up everything the Li family operated in Shuozhou, and he was always illusory in his heart.

But Liu did not have any fantasy about it, but she could not persuade Li Keyong. Even Li Guochang, who was worried and ill at the moment, still had some fantasies, fantasizing that his son Li Keyong could play triumphant songs again.

A few days ago, when news of the loss of Mayi came back, Li Guochang was furious and shocked, and suddenly fainted. Although he woke up later, he was already extremely weak after walking in the gate of hell. He lost all his weight, and he was as powerful as a powerful general in the past. He was just like an old man who was waiting to die.

Now Li Guochang is completely unable to be in charge. Li Keyong is fighting outside. Several prestigious clan elders of the Shatuo clan, such as Li Youjin, Li Jinzhong and others. Li Youjin and Li Keyong are leading troops outside. Li Jinzhong has become prisoners of the court. Li Guochang's other sons are still young, with nine sons. Two of them died in Chang'an before, and three of them were captured by Zhen** in this battle. The rest are either with Li Keyong on the front line or are too young to bear the heavy responsibility.

The entire Jincheng affairs are now on the shoulders of a woman. Li Guochang has publicly handed over the affairs of Jincheng to Liu. This daughter-in-law is very popular and many of her words have been confirmed now. Li Guochang regrets that he did not obey his daughter-in-law at the beginning, but now, he simply handed over Jincheng affairs to her.

These sons, Liu, have been doing two things: one is to prepare dry food and clothes for traveling far away. The second is to recruit troops. Almost all those above 14 and above 50 in Shuozhou were recruited by her and stationed in Sangang and four towns to assist in defense.

The wind and rain gradually stopped, and a wandering green light gradually emerged between the sky and the earth, becoming brighter and brighter. The jade rabbit retreated, and the shadows of mountains and blurred trees gradually appeared on the horizon. In a trance, a bright red color was dyed in the east, and a little golden light was trying to break free from the shackles of darkness. Around them were colorful clouds steaming with clouds, and it was dawn.

Liu's heart tightened.

A team slowly walked up the road in front of the city, with its armor scattered and its flags sluggishly, and it was extremely embarrassing. When you get closer, you can see the war horses exhausted and sniffing loudly in the morning light. Liu suddenly felt like she was about to lose her vigor, and she saw Li Keyong.

Her husband was not carried or dragged. He came back on a horse by himself. Mrs. Liu closed her eyes, and for a long time, a drop of tears passed through the corners of her eyes, dragging out a shallow tear mark and then fell on the cold city.

Li Keyong was defeated, but he was very thorough, and he came back quite cunning.

Shanyang and Mayi were lost one after another, and more than 15,000 soldiers and horses were lost. The Shatuojing Sharp he carried now only has seven thousand soldiers left.

When he saw Liu's first face, Li Keyong said bitterly: "Everything was as expected by the wife. We were defeated, and we were very miserable. I regret not following the wife's advice at the beginning." Liu stepped forward and hugged Li Keyong. No matter how proud the man was at the beginning or how he refused her advice, he was still that man. He was him, both her husband and the pride and hero of the Shatuo people. Now, he is also the leader of the newly taken over Shatuo clan.

"There are always the key to winning or losing. You are my husband, you are the patriarch of the Shatu people, you are the hero in everyone's hearts. As long as you don't fall, we Shatu people will not fall. We will make a comeback and make a comeback one day." Liu hugged her husband and comforted her.

Li Keyong hugged Liu. Suddenly, tears couldn't stop flowing out. As soon as he was young, he never shed tears. He became the head of the tribe's children since he was a child. He had been a samurai of the Tatar tribe when he was young. At the age of fourteen, he went south to fight against the Pang Xun rebellion. His status was not because he was the son of the clan leader, but because he fought by himself. He was invincible and took everything. At the age of fourteen, he became the guard of Yunzhong. Now he is only eighteen and has become the leader of the clan and has defeated the Tang soldiers several times.

He had never encountered such a big setback. The seven generals of Yunzhou, Cheng Huaixin, died in Jingluo City in battle, Li Jinzhong was captured in Jingluo City, and then Xue Zhiqin was killed in Shuozhou City, and Li Cunzhang also went to the town to deliver a letter and was detained. The only seven generals left in his confidant were Kang Junli, Xue Tieshan and Gai Yu.

At the beginning of the rebellion, the two brothers died in Chang'an. Three younger brothers were captured at Taixiguan. Now his uncle Li Youjin was also shot an arrow under Shuozhou City and was carried back on a stretcher. His father, the father who had always made him proud, had also fallen.

Liu watched her husband cry like an aggrieved child in her arms, and she had no thoughts of contempt in her heart. This was still the man who made her love more and more. The man did not cry easily, but it was not sad. She believed that after her husband cried, she wiped away his tears and was still the hero that the whole clan admired.

Li Keyong cried in Liu's arms for a long time, and the tears wet the fabric on Liu's plump nai's clothes. However, after crying happily and looking up, Li Keyong recovered his coldness again.

"I have decided to give up Shuozhou, evacuate the entire tribe, and go to Yinshan North!"

Liu immediately agreed with her husband's decision. It was not too late to make up for the problem. Seeing his son coming back in such a mess, Li Guochang's already pale face became even more ugly. With a long sigh, Li Guochang's entire spirit seemed to have been wiped out all at once, becoming a bad old man who was still in a tranquil way. In his not much awake time, Li Guochang recalled his life over and over again. He grew up in Daibei and began to follow his father to fight for the Tang Dynasty when he was young. In this life, he had fought countless wars for the Tang Dynasty. His father was a man with a more famous reputation than him. Without the efforts of his grandfather and father, there would be no strength of the Shatuo tribe when he took over.

Thinking about it now, Shatuo's strength and his rising high position are not just his credit, but their generations of contributions. Otherwise, how could the emperor give him the surname Li? Unfortunately, he was arrogant and looked too high for a while, but the court was too low, and he always felt that he should get more.

And he gave birth to a son who was even more arrogant than himself. Although his wife, Qin and daughter-in-law Liu were both smart women, why didn't he listen to those words at the beginning?

"Aye, I am going to lead my tribe to retreat to Yinshan North." Li Keyong stunned his father and son, and quickly said his thoughts again.

Li Guochang woke up from his memories and thoughts. After hearing what his son said clearly, he nodded and said with infinite emotion, "Let's go, let's go, we father and son are Shatu's sinners. Only when we lost did we know how to cherish it. We forgot how your grandfather, great-grandfather and the others resolutely fought for 3,000 miles before we arrived at the Central Plains. When the Shatu people fought against the Tubo, they almost lost their clan. Now we have a little strength, but they dare to fight with the Tang Dynasty. The lean camel is bigger than a horse, and we forgot these."

Li Ke used his one-eyed one-eyed cold light and said, "We will come back."

Li Guochang struggled to sit up, but after struggling for a few times, he couldn't get up. Li Keyong quickly helped his father up.

The violent movements made Li Guochang's face look a little morbid. He coughed a few times, panted and held his son's hand tightly, staring at his son with a serious tone: "I have been recalling my half of my life these days, recalling the century-old history of our Shatuo people. I have learned an experience, a summary, and a lesson. Son, if you don't want Shatuo to perish at the hands of our father and son, then listen to me. If you can, find a way to restore your relationship with the Tang Dynasty in the future. Perhaps, we Shatuo people can really make a comeback. If not, then go north or west, the farther you go from the Tang Dynasty, the better. It is best not to come back."

Li Keyong did not fully understand what his father said, but in the end he nodded solemnly.
