On an unknown small slope in Yanmen County, yellow sand came from the surface, and the red flag rolled in the yellow dust.

The soldiers wearing crock clothes and black scarves were carrying long spears and marched in the sand and dust. Their faces were covered with dust. Everyone wrapped their faces with scarves, but they still couldn't stop the sand and flew into their eyes and ears. Behind the soldiers, the long camel caravan, carrying the soldiers' weapons, armor, and food, were moving forward calmly in this windy day.

Li Chongjiu watched as the soldiers trekked on the loess slopes with ravines and ravines, and couldn't help but sigh at how he encountered such a strong windy weather when he sent troops this time.

The strong wind blew up on the Loess Plateau, and large tracts of yellow sand swept over the sky, almost the same as the dust storm I saw in Beijing in my previous life.

The neighing sound of the horse came with the sound of the wind, and a team of cavalry rushed to the bottom of the hillside.

"Damn it, why did you encounter this ghost weather? When I was traveling to Yanmen, I didn't." Wang Mahan ran off his horse and came to Li Chongjiu and complained.

Li Chongjiu said, "It's been a long time since you came to Yanmen, but after passing the mountain road ahead, you don't need to eat dirt."

Wang Mahan laughed and said, "I just complained a few times, but even if the wind and sand are so strong, the soldiers rushed all the way, and there was no delay. After all, the brothers didn't complain a little. They were really a group of heroes."

Li Chongjiu smiled, and Tsui Hark beside him said unsatisfiedly: "General Wang, this is not the case. Our 25,000 prefecture troops are the elite children among the six counties of Youzhou. Even the 300,000 prefecture troops who conquered Liao at the time were not as good as us."

The generals talked with a smile, mentioning the elite soldiers under their command, without boasting.

Soon after the march, Sima Jichuan also hurried up the hillside with a few people. He reported to Li Chongjiu and said, "Taiyuan made a detailed report. The Tang King Li Yuan ordered him to support the King of Dai Yang You to abdicate the throne to him. Now Li Yuan has ascended the throne in Xijing. He changed his reign to Wude, and his country's name was called Tang."

Hearing this, King Ma Han immediately cursed and said, "Li Yuan, this old thief, doesn't even want to be a face. He has become the emperor, this damn traitor."

"What else can you give in? Bullshit."

Li Chongjiu asked: "What's the movement in Taiyuan?"

"According to detailed reports, the Qi King Li Yuanji, who stayed in Taiyuan, ordered that the whole city should be decorated with lights and decorated for three days in Jinyang to celebrate Li Yuan's ascension to the throne."

Li Chongjiu asked immediately, "So, Jinyang still knows what we are coming to attack?"

Ji Chuan said, "Our army did a good job in preventing things before. Even the local people in Youzhou didn't know about it, and the heavy arrangements were confused. Lin Dangfeng said that he had guaranteed it with his head, and Jinyang had not received the news yet."

"Oh? Isn't this the same as a woman without clothes? We can get in as soon as we want." Wang Mahan said happily.

Listening to what Wang Mahan said, all the generals laughed.

Li Chongjiu also smiled and said, "This is God's help. Since this is the case, our army will accelerate and Li Yuan ascends the throne in Chang'an. Let's attack Taiyuan with a surprise and give him a generous gift!"

"promise!"

The generals agreed.

Yanmen County, Yanmen County.

"Your Majesty, King Song! The vanguard of Youzhou Army has crossed the boundary. He has not stayed in the territory for a moment!"

"Really?" Song Jingang raised his eyes when he heard this.

"Reporting to King Song, it is true that our scouts were met with the enemy's Xi clan's cavalry several times before, but the other party did not seem to have any intention of making things difficult for our scouts. They just drove our scouts away and did not allow them to approach, so they would not pursue them. I thought that if the enemy was intentionally detrimental to Mayi, they would definitely not let our scouts go so easily."

After hearing the other party's report, it was not only Song Jingang, but also Song Jingang's general who sat aside and almost twisted his nose and eyebrows all day long, breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Jingang frowned and said, "In this way, Li Chongjiu's purpose is not my Mayi, neither my Mayi, nor his way south to Taiyuan. What is his purpose in launching this army to attack Li Tang?"

"King Song, don't care about so many of him? The Youzhou army is not the purpose of us. After working hard, we will not be able to close our eyes all night."

"Yes, there are so many soldiers and horses, and the sound of horse hooves has been ringing in the Loess Valley for a whole day and night. Where did so many troops come from in Youzhou?"

"This man is so powerful that he defeated the grassland, defeated Khitan, Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao and others, and had tens of thousands of surrendered troops from the Fan army."

Everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy and their whole bodies were tight, but now they moved slightly and many people found that their feet were numb.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "King Song, Li Chongjiu is going to attack Taiyuan, should we tell me?"

"Yes, this Li Chongjiu is too arrogant. The army passed by, but he didn't even say hello to us."

"Hmph, is it necessary for me?"

"Yes, this person didn't take us seriously at all."

Song Jingang stood up and said, "Okay, since Li Chongjiu's target is not our Mayi, forget it. The two strong men in Taiyuan Youzhou will be hard to distinguish between the top and bottom. We will guard the border and sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

"I want to see how strong Youzhou is in the past few years!"

Taiyuan County, Jinyang.

Zhang Shou, the military officer of the Qigong Mansion Records Office, walked into the main record room and closed the door. The main record room was not big, and the bookshelf stood against the four walls, and the pieces were placed on it were thin and gray.

As the secretary office, Zhang Shou's affairs were very simple, but cumbersome. He was responsible for any official documents. He opened them first. After reading one side, he decided to report them or leave them to the army. At the same time, he would write any instructions and orders on them.

There were several clerks under Zhang Shou, who shared their duties together.

But today the King of Qi was at the Jinyang Palace banquet to celebrate Li Yuan's ascension to the throne. Therefore, the young clerks under him had long lost the intention of office work and flew to the Jinyang Palace, thinking about those beautiful singers.

"Okay, okay, you go first, I'll be on duty alone." Zhang Shou waved his hand.

After hearing this, the clerks said, "How can you be so embarrassed to let the army join the army and stay alone."

Zhang Shouyan said: "I don't understand what you monkeys are thinking about. I am old and I can't enjoy any good wine. You guys go."

All the clerks were as if they were amnesty and went there together, and there were constant laughter along the way.

Zhang Shou's old-fashioned face showed a smile at this moment, and then a bowl of mutton soup was brought in the kitchen. Zhang Shou was sitting on the mutton soup under the candlestick, looking at the official document indoors.

"Zhang Jishi, is there any official documents coming to Jiazi, Youzhou?"

"Youzhou Jiazi!" Zhang Shou browned when he heard this. He had been in the record office for many years, and he was familiar with most of the confidential documents.

Jiazi in Youzhou was last year. When Li Yuan raised his army from Jinyang, he decided to secretly put the works in Youzhou. These works were absolutely reliable and capable. Li Yuan once told him that he would pay attention to obtaining information from Youzhou.

Zhang Shou immediately took the official document from the Literature Office, and was shocked after reading it.

He picked up the pen and put it down immediately, saying, "Closed the secretary's room immediately, prepare the car and I want to go to Jinyang Palace."

After hearing what Zhang Shou said, the several scholars laughed secretly and thought that the Records Office had just pretended to be so righteous, but now they have exposed their tails.

"This is a matter of urgent need for hundreds of thousands."

Hearing Zhang Shou's yell, the few people were busy. Zhang Shou pulled out the brass key, locked the main record room, and then left the mansion to take a car and headed straight to Jinyang Palace. At this moment, Jinyang Palace was at the time of singing and dancing, and several carriages were parked outside the palace.

In the corridor of the main hall, palace maids with ice and snow-skinned skin could be seen everywhere, holding wine from both sides. In the main hall, silk and bamboo sounded together, and there were also the sound of cheering and striking.

At this moment, most of the civil and military officials in the entire Taiyuan County were here in Jinyang Palace.

Regardless of his age, Zhang Shou came to the outside of the hall and said to the guards on duty outside the hall: "Report immediately, I want to see the King of Qi!"

"Sorry, Zhang Ji's room, King Qi was exhausted and he was already asleep."

"I have a 100,000-strong military emergency."

The guard smiled and said, "It's useless to be anxious for 100,000 yuan. King Qi was drunk and could not wake up anyway."

Zhang Shou stomped his feet when he heard this and saw a general passing by. It was Jiang Baoyi, the general of Yingyanglang of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Zhang Shou immediately went up to the forefront and said, "General Jiang Lang, the military situation is urgent, Youzhou secretly reported that a village army in Youzhou puppet training for the government army. The government army has lost its trace for five days, and now it is unknown where."

"Youzhou?" Jiang Baoyi smiled when he heard this, "You are thinking too much, you just lost your trace for a while, and you may not be coming to Taiyuan."

"Idiot." Zhang Shou cursed inwardly, pretending to be patient and explaining.

Jiang Baoyi waved his hand and smiled, "Zhang Jishi, he is so old, he is too brave, and he is full of soldiers. Well, I won't say anything."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Zhang Shou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Zhang stayed."

Jiang Baoyi said, "I can't help you. The person in charge of Taiyuan is the King of Qi. The King of Qi is still drunk and it's useless to say anything. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing the other party leaving, Zhang Shou suddenly felt that he was desperate. He had already seen this matter. Even if it was three or four in ten possible, it would be enough to destroy Jinyang. Li Chongjiu was a powerful soldier in Youzhou. He came in a fierce momentum, and he calculated the old accounts together, and learned about public and private hatreds.

The city of Taiyuan will soon be covered with corpses and blood.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou looked at the hall with a resolute expression, and said loudly, "I want to see the King of Qi! I want to see the King of Qi!"

Seeing this, the left and right guards were disgusted and said, "Zhang Jishi, how could you be so polite!"

"Zhang Jishi, you are making it difficult for us to do it, so we can only take you down first."

"I am loyal to the emperor! If there are police officers in Taiyuan, you guys will pay for the delay today!"

After hearing this, the guards seized Zhang Shou's momentum.

"Why is it noisy?"

Everyone turned their heads together, but when they saw the visitor, everyone's expressions changed. The guard leader knelt down and said, "I will meet the princess in the end."
