Country is the most important

Li Dingzhong immediately ordered to take back all of Gao Yan's military power, and the army immediately assembled to pursue the Nanman.It is bound to take the head of the Nanban Khan.

Although the soldiers don't know the tricks in political struggle, they also know that it is always right to obey the imperial decree and the orders of their superiors.They gathered to the commander in succession, preparing to launch a new round of pursuit and attack on the Nanman who had already retreated.

Gao Yan grabbed Li Dingzhong's sleeve, "You can't do this!"

Li Dingzhong looked at the soldiers approaching in front of him, "Why can't I do this! This is the imperial decree of the emperor!"

"Yesterday, my king has reached a peace agreement with Nanban!" Gao Yan glared at Li Dingzhong.

"I don't care about your agreement! I, Li Dingzhong, was sent by the emperor to pacify the southwest, and I only obey the emperor's orders!"

"You!" Gao Yan was in a hurry, pointed at Li Dingzhong, unable to say a word.

Li Dingzhong shook off Gao Yan's hand, "Is the Dingyuan cavalry here?"

Several generals who traded with Gao Yan last night took a look at Gao Yan, and then knelt down in front of Li Dingzhong in unison: "The humble job is here!"

"Quickly lead [-] Dingyuan iron cavalry to chase Nanman! Don't come to see me if you don't get the head of Nanman Khan!"

"Follow your orders!"

Then the [-] Dingyuan iron cavalry rode towards the southwest.

"Others follow me to the front to check."

Tan Zhen heard the commotion outside and estimated the seriousness of the matter in the camp, so he never left the camp.Now the outside is also quiet, Tan Zhen was about to go out to find out what happened, when Gao Yan lifted the curtain and entered in a hurry.

"Your Highness! What should we do now?" Li Zheng followed Gao Yan in and asked anxiously.

Gao Yan was silent for a while and said, "I'm afraid there are changes in the capital! I'm afraid the emperor will not easily let me go with such a move!" Gao Yan glanced at Tan Zhen at the side, and then said, "This king brought me from Pingyang. The soldiers who came can only stay in Dingyuan for now, but the three of us must leave immediately! If we really follow Li Dingzhong to the capital, we will definitely not retreat completely. We will make plans when we return to Pingyang!"

"but,"

"But what?" Li Zheng asked.

"Our speed must be fast! I'm afraid they will immediately report to the court as soon as they find out that we have escaped, and it will be too late!"

"Then when are we leaving?" Tan Zhen asked firmly.

"Let's go tonight when people are asleep!"

"Then I'm going to prepare the horses and dry food now!" Li Zhengdao.

"Let's go first."

After Li Zheng left, only Gao Yan and Tan Zhen were left in the camp. Tan Zhen walked up to Gao Yan and held Gao Yan's hand, "Your Highness, don't worry too much."

Gao Yan turned around and looked straight at Tan Zhen, "Tan Zhen, will you leave me?"

"No matter what happens in the future, Tan Zhen will follow His Highness to the death!"

Gao Yan pulled Tan Zhen into his arms, and locked him firmly on his chest with both arms, "Tan Zhen! This king only has you now." After a while, he murmured, "Only you .”

……

As soon as the Nanman envoy handed over the document of peace talks with Gao Yan to Khan, he was chased and killed. The whole Nanman army believed that Gao Yan had turned his back on his word and did not keep his word.In a rage, Khan sent three death squads and ordered Gao Yan's head to be taken!

On the other hand, the Dingyuan iron cavalry is worthy of Dingyuan iron cavalry, as soon as they chased for a hundred miles, they went straight to the Nanman lair, took off the head of the Nanman Khan in less than a day, and brought it back to Li Dingzhong.Li Dingzhong was very happy and ordered to reward the whole army tonight and return to Beijing tomorrow to return to his command.

At night in the camp, the soldiers were all having a carnival, Gao Yan, Tan Zhen and Li Zheng rode quietly towards Pingyang.

Unexpectedly, they were suddenly pursued on the road. The three of them thought that they were soldiers sent by Li Dingzhong to pursue them after they had escaped. It was not until they saw the arrows they shot at themselves that they realized that these people were soldiers from the Southern Man.

Li Zheng waved his horsewhip vigorously, and at the same time turned his head to look back, and saw a black pile under the light of the torches running towards the three of them. "The gangsters from Nanban have been chasing us for hours!"

"I'm going to lure them away!" Tan Zhen turned around and glanced back, the Nanman cavalry had been chasing closer and closer, and unconsciously shouted at Gao Yan.

Gao Yan flicked his horsewhip vigorously, "Quicken your pace, you'll be safe when you get out of the southwest."

At this moment, an arrow flew past Gao Yan's head with a 'swish' sound, and the three of them were startled.Then Li Zheng dismounted slowly, glanced at Tan Zhen beside Gao Yan, "Your Highness! You go first, I can resist for a while!"

Seeing Li Zhengchao turning back, Tan Zhen also slowed down and said loudly, "Your Highness! You go first! Li Zheng and I will resist for a while."

"You guys!" Gao Yan frowned and tightened the reins on the horse. The horse neighed, and Gao Yan drew out his sword, "Then let's deal with the Nanman behind us before we go!"

All three reined in, turned their horses' heads, and prepared to fight to the death with the Nanman pursuers.

------

Two hours after Gao Yan left the barracks, Li Dingzhong realized that Gao Yan was gone, and at the same time Li Zheng was also missing. The iron cavalry quickly pursued in the direction of Pingyang!

------

The three of Gao Yan were surrounded by dozens of cavalry regiments from the Nanban, and the three of them hacked desperately in the middle, and all of them were wounded.At this time, someone suddenly shot a pistol from behind, and it happened to hit the front leg of the horse Gao Yan was riding on. The horse was in pain, and the front hoof was raised violently, Gao Yan fell off the horse's back, and the back hoof kicked Just stepping on Gao Yan's head, Gao Yan immediately fainted to the ground.Nanman took the opportunity to get off his horse and raised his knife to chop off Gao Yan's head. Seeing this, Tan Zhen hurriedly jumped off his horse and raised his sword to stand in front of Gao Yan.

At this moment, Li Zheng suddenly shouted at Tan Zhen, "Your Highness, I will leave it to you!" Then, like a madman, he raised his big knife and slashed at the Southern barbarian cavalry around Gao Yan.

Tan Zhen stood in front of Gao Yan and fought against the Nanman cavalry, but he was no match for four hands. Tan Zhen and Gao Yan were soon surrounded by several Nanman soldiers.Looking at the surrounding Nanman cavalry and Li Zheng who kept fighting, Tan Zhen raised his sword and kept blocking the Nanman's arrows for Gao Yan. After a while, even Tan Zhen couldn't hold it anymore. Kneeling beside Gao Yan.Nanman aimed five or six arrows at the two people on the ground, and Tan Zhen said sadly, "Are we really going to die here?"

At this time, there was a sound of shouting and killing from behind. Tanzhen raised his head, but he didn't see the arrows shooting at him. It is the Dingyuan iron cavalry led by Li Dingzhong.Suddenly my heart became cold again.

Thousands of Dingyuan iron cavalry quickly wiped out the Nanman cavalry.

Li Dingzhong rode to Tan Zhen and Gao Yan who were lying on the ground, and looked at Tan Zhen carefully for a long time, "I think this is General Tan Zhen, right?"

Tan Zhen closed his eyes, "If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want."

Li Dingzhong jumped off the horse, holding a torch in one hand, and raised the sword in the other hand to pick up Tan Zhen's chin, "You look really good~ No wonder, no wonder..." Li Dingzhong didn't say the last part of the sentence, feeling suddenly uncomfortable in his heart Tightly, he moved the sword down half an inch, and pressed it against Tan Zhen's neck, a streak of red flowed from the tip of the sword.

At that moment he really had the idea of ​​killing Tan Zhen.

Li Zheng suddenly rode up to Li Dingzhong and swung Li Dingzhong's sword, "General Li! How dare you hurt King Pingyang!"

Seeing that it was Li Zheng, Li Dingzhong put away his sword, and handed over the torches in his hands to the surrounding soldiers, "Don't dare!" His tone was full of disdain, "Come here!"

"exist!"

"The king of Pingyang, Li Zheng, and Tan Zhen fled privately in disregard of the imperial decree. They were tied up by this general and escorted to the capital immediately!"

Li Zheng jumped off his horse, stood in front of Tan Zhen and Gao Yan, and glared at the soldiers rushing forward, "This is King Pingyang, who dares?"

"Tie up all of them!" Li Dingzhong once again shouted at the surrounding generals.

This time, the soldiers gathered around one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tan Zhen knew that the three of them would die here, so he tugged on Li Zheng's clothes with his left hand. Bian whispered, "Hurry up and report to Pingyang on horseback, don't miss your Highness' important event!"

"But you..."

"Don't worry, no matter how brave Li Dingzhong is, he won't dare to hurt His Highness."

"What about you?" Li Zheng suddenly grabbed Tan Zhen's arm with one hand and asked eagerly.

Before Tan Zhen could reply, some soldiers around had already grabbed one of Li Zheng's arms, and Li Zheng raised his whip and lashed at the nearby soldiers.

"Li Zheng! Do you want to rebel!" Li Dingzhong roared.

Li Zheng didn't say a word, glanced at the densely packed Dingyuan cavalry around him, turned his head to look at Gao Yan, who was unconscious, then turned around and stepped on the horse beside him, flicked the whip, and ran forward. Go, get out of the way.

Li Dingzhong was furious, he raised the sword in his hand heavily, and shot at Li Zheng with all his strength.

At this time, Tan Zhen suddenly jumped up from the ground, stretched out his hand and held the sword shot by Li Dingzhong fiercely, and looked at Li Dingzhong firmly.Blood immediately fell drop by drop along Tan Zhen's hand.

They brought the bows and arrows of the surrounding cavalry again, and fired two arrows at Li Zheng at once. Since Li Zheng had gone far away and it was night again, neither of the arrows hit Li Zheng.Li Dingzhong was furious, stepped forward and pulled out the sword from Tan Zhen's hand, and Tan Zhen couldn't help but yelled "Ah...".

Li Zheng heard Tan Zhen's heart-piercing cry from his horseback, and turned around anxiously. With the help of the faint firelight, he saw Tan Zhen lying on the ground, his brows frowned, and he gritted his teeth and turned his head. Go, wave the whip even more vigorously, and rush towards Pingyang.
