"Stop talking, talk about serious matters!"

"Yes, Master!" Yuan Ziyan's clear and elegant face became heavy: "Master, Zhennan City was broken, and the city guard was killed."

"Don't the court know?"

"I don't know." Yuan Ziyan said: "It is said that the inner lord is in the inner rank, and he killed the city guard without any effort. Then he opened the city gate. Those who defended the city were killed without surrendering, and the rest were surrendered."

Li Chengkong said: "There are two garrisons around Zhennan City, are there any movement?"

"Surrendered too." Yuan Ziyan shook her head gently: "Master, if we go over, we will fall into the trap."

Li Chengkong frowned and looked at the sky.

Lu Qingluan said: "The court has never paid attention to the southern border. Over the years, the thirty-six caves in the southern border have rebelled and surrendered. I have been coming and going for countless rounds. The court has been unable to do anything about them, and there is no conclusion on whether to suppress or pacify them."

Li Chengkong frowned and pondered.

"The key is that there are few people in the 36 caves in the southern border. Even if the rebellion is launched, the impact will be limited and it will not cause much harm." Lu Qingluan curled his lips: "Therefore, the disease of ringworm that the court regards is not a problem. When this prime minister takes office and advocates comfort, the next prime minister takes office may change his mind, advocates extermination, change, and make the 36 caves in the southern border no longer trust the court."

Yuan Ziyan sneered: "The emperor is really heartless!"

Although the court may not have received any news and did not know that Zhennancheng was lost, even if Zhennancheng did not fall this time, it would be a big trouble.

The thirty-six caves in the southern border and the imperial court have already had a deep knot and cannot be untied.

Lu Qingluan said: "I didn't know the situation in the southern border before, and I didn't care much. I asked my senior brother before I realized that it was such a troublesome. The emperor is really too much."

"Master, what should I do? Do you still have to continue walking there?" Yuan Ziyan said: "We are afraid we can't take Zhennancheng."

"Continue to walk." Li Chengkong said: "Continue to slow down and walk twenty miles a day."

"Okay." Although Yuan Ziyan was puzzled, she could only obey.

"According to my opinion, stop directly." Lu Qingluan snorted: "Send a letter to the court directly, asking the court to recover Zhennan City first and then go."

"That's it." Yuan Ziyan nodded quickly.

Li Chengkong said: "While letting the court recover Zhennancheng, we should not stop and continue to walk slowly."

"Master, if the court cannot take back Zhennan City, do you have to take action yourself?" Yuan Ziyan said excitedly.

Li Chengkong said: "Let's go and have a look."

If he is so full of effort now, he can shock people in a radius of one mile and fall into a coma if he controls it accurately.

Of course, for a city, the range of one mile is too small, so the Grand Master is not omnipotent.

——

"What?" Huo Yuting was shocked: "Zhennan City has been occupied, so we have nowhere to go?"

Mei Jiang frowned and said, "Is this news accurate?"

Li Chengkong, Dugu Shuming and Huo Yuting and Mei Jiang sat in a small pavilion next to the woods. This is a post pavilion for pedestrians to rest.

Yuan Ziyan stood behind Li Chengkong, while Lu Qingluan did not appear. She had already gone to the southern border first.

She likes to join in the fun, so she wants to go back to Yongli Temple to find the senior brother, and then go to the southern border one step ahead.

As a great master, Yongli Temple has little restraint on her and is free.

I had been working hard in seclusion and practicing hard, ignoring civilized affairs, and seeking the realm of a great master. Now that I have reached the great master, I have lost my goal.

Only Li Chengkong can catch her eyes, so he wanted to come over to find Li Chengkong and join in the fun.

Li Chengkong nodded slowly.

Mei Jiang frowned: "The southern border is dangerous, I didn't expect it to be so dangerous!"

Zhennan City was actually broken, which shows the stubbornness of the thirty-six caves in the southern border. Can they defend the Xian Palace after entering?

Even if you can defend it, you may have to fight often. Any time you fight, you will inevitably suffer casualties.

As the city lord, Ting'er cannot hide from everything and must show up on the city, which is very dangerous.

Thinking of this, she was so nervous.

Huo Yuting gritted his teeth: "What are the emperor's grandfather doing? If you want to kill me, just give me a decree to death. Why to torture me like this!"

"Prince." Li Chengkong said: "Maybe the emperor has not received this news either."

"Hey, we have all received the news. As the emperor, the emperor, did not receive it?" Huo Yuting sneered: "I will never believe it!"

Li Chengkong sighed.

Huo Yuting was hit too hard, his mind was distorted, and now he became cynical and had extreme ideas.

This is extremely dangerous. It is to walk on a crazy road. If you cannot control it, you will cause trouble in the future.

"What should we do?" Mei Jiang looked at Dugu Shuming.

Dugu Shuming said: "Please send troops to recover Zhennancheng. It is impossible for us to recover Zhennancheng."

They only have escorts but no army.

The guards can only protect them from safety, but are not good at charging and cannot be confused with the army.

As the commander of Tiexiguan, she led troops to fight wars and knew the difference between the army and the scattered soldiers and raiders.

On the battlefield, the most important thing is not the strength of martial arts, but the strict discipline and orders.

If you can't twist a rope, it's useless on the battlefield.

"What if the emperor's grandfather doesn't agree?" Huo Yuting sneered: "Or what should I do if I drag my troops down?"

"Then we can only drag it slowly." Dugu Shuming said.

Huo Yuting looked at Li Chengkong: "Mr. Li, you are the grandmaster. It is a trivial matter to take down a Zhennan City?"

Li Chengkong said: "Prince, if you can do this, there is no need for an army. Just send a grandmaster to seize the city."

"Can't it work?" Huo Yuting half-believed and half-doubted.

The Grand Master has a grand master in the capital and cannot act randomly. He will not be so worried when he arrives outside the city of Tianjing.

Who is the opponent of the Grand Master? Hit into Zhennan City, a killing can distract people's hearts and then seize the city while it is in chaos.

Or go directly into Zhennan City to control the new city guards, and capture the thief first to capture the king, so as to threaten them to retreat.

Li Chengkong shook his head: "Prince, the great master is also bound by the rules of heaven. You cannot do anything randomly, but the army still needs to seize the city."

"Oh..." Huo Yuting looked disappointed.

He still believed and half doubted.

Could it be that I don’t want to do this?

Yuan Ziyan was extremely angry, and her face was covered with frost and she stared at him coldly.

Huo Yuting felt relieved when he was seen, so he deliberately did not go to see her and turned to Dugu Shuming: "Then according to the princess' words, I will write a memorial."

Dugu Shuming said: "It's best to complain, it's best to arouse his pity."

"...Okay." Huo Yuting smiled and said, "I'm good at this!"

He got up and walked back.

Zhang Tianning was outside the pavilion and hurriedly followed him to serve him.

Huo Yuting waved his hand: "You are busy with your time, don't serve me, just let the maid come."

"Prince..." Zhang Tianning hesitated.

He felt Huo Yuting's coldness and distantness, and became much more polite, which made him feel panic and didn't know why.

Huo Yuting had already stepped into the carriage.

A beautiful little maid crawled in and served her pen and ink.

After a memorial was written, he put it in a purple lacquer box. Huo Yuting sealed it, and Yuan Ziyan stepped forward and said, "I'll go and send it."

Huo Yuting smiled: "This is a small matter, why bother Miss Ziyan?"

Yuan Ziyan said coldly: "It's okay."

She snatched the purple lacquer box and shot it into the distance.
