Country is the most important

"The king of Pingyang led his army to set up an ambush on Mount Hui and intercepted most of the imperial army's logistics supplies. At the same time, [-] Dingyuan iron cavalry had surrendered to the rebels. General Sun was in a bad situation and retreated to Taiyuan City."

In the court hall, Gao Xian fixed his eyes on the report from the northwest, his forehead was bruised and his complexion was getting worse and worse.All of a sudden, the report was thrown to the ground so violently that there was a "pop", and all the ministers knelt down one after another.

"Sun Ji is a useless thing!!" Gao Xian roared angrily and waved the memorial beside him to the ground.

"The emperor calm down!" All the ministers shouted in unison.

"My 30 army! 30 army!" Gao Xian's eyes were already red, and his voice was trembling with anger.

"Come here" accompanied by a low order, "Catch Sun Ji to me and wait for me to deal with it!"

At this time, a minister suddenly knelt down in front of the imperial court and said, "Your Majesty! You must not! Although General Sun has suffered a defeat at this time, once the main general withdraws, it will definitely cause chaos in the army. I am afraid that there will be another trouble, so I still look to the emperor." Think twice~"

"Don't say it anymore!"

"Your Majesty! At this time, General Sun is withdrawing! Who will replace the position of the chief general!"

Gao Xian, who was originally determined, was also questioned at this time and had no idea.At this time, another minister in the court echoed: "Li Shilong."

Li Shilong once followed the late emperor to the war and made great military exploits. Later, because he had no monarch, he angered the late emperor and was sent to prison. He is still in prison.Li Shilong was capable of leading the army in battle, but he was perverse and arbitrary, so the first emperor ordered him never to be hired in a rage.Now that the situation is forcing, this is the only way to suppress King Pingyang.

"Just use Li Shilong!"

Gao Xian understood what his actions meant, success or failure only depended on one action.

At night, the soldiers were all asleep, except for the faint candlelight in one of the tents, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.Gao Yan came out of the camp alone, and was hesitating whether to enter, when two slight hums came from inside the tent, Gao Yan's heart tightened, he opened the curtain, and strode in.

Next to the bed was a bloody gauze, and Tan Zhen was half lying on the bed to apply medicine and change the gauze for himself.

The moment Gao Yan saw Tanzhen, Gao Yan seemed to have an illusion that the two were still fighting side by side in the southwest, so unconsciously, his tone was much softer: "I'll help you." Then he walked quickly towards Tanzhen, Unable to refuse, he took the medicine bottle and gauze from Tan Zhen and helped him put on the medicine.

As soon as Gao Yan raised Tanzhen's arm, Tanzhen let out a "hiss~" and frowned in pain.

Hearing the sound, Gao Yan immediately loosened his grip, looked at Tan Zhen and said, "Does it hurt?"

Tan Zhen shook his head with a smile on his lips, his eyes fixed on Gao Yan for a moment.Until Gao Yan finished bandaging him and helped him lie down on the bed, his eyes still didn't move away from Gao Yan.

"What are you doing staring at me all the time? Is there something dirty on my face?" Gao Yan raised his hand and wiped his face in doubt.

Seeing this, Tan Zhen couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing, and then lowered his eyes in disappointment, "Seeing His Highness caring about Tan Zhen so much, Tan Zhen just wants to engrave this moment in his mind, and I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."

"What do you mean 'I don't know if there is another chance like this'? Do you still want to get hurt again?"

Tan Zhen smiled wryly, "You know that's not what I meant."

Gao Yan hugged Tan Zhen, and pecked lightly on his forehead, "Tan Zhen, will you always stay by my king's side?"

"Tan Zhen has never turned his back on His Highness, never before, and never will in the future."

"This king knows." There was a moment of silence, "This king is just afraid, very scared."

"The moment I saw you in the southwest, I felt that I had fallen, and I couldn't do without you. I felt that I had fallen in love with you." Tan Zhen suddenly felt that Gao Yan's body, which was hugging him, was a little slight. trembling.

It was the first time that Tan Zhen heard the word "love" from Gao Yan in such a long time, and he couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart.

"Tan Zhen fell as early as four years ago." After speaking, Tan Zhen turned his body slightly and looked directly into Gao Yan's eyes.

At the moment when the four eyes met, Tan Zhen straightened his upper body, his lips sealed Gao Yan's mouth heavily, Gao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then pulled Tan Zhen into his arms fiercely, focusing on counterattack, enthusiastically Kissing Tan Zhen lingeringly, as if wanting to rub him into her body.

Tan Zhen didn't know when Gao Yan's feelings for him would change because of other things, the only thing he knew was that now Gao Yan was by his side, saying that he loved him.And he only wanted to keep this moment, so he kept responding to Gao Yan's kiss, deepening the kiss.Until the pain in his arm made him grunt.

"What's the matter?" Gao Yan knew that the wound was involved, so he carefully let go of Tan Zhen, but Tan Zhen's hands were tightly wrapped around Gao Yan.

Tan Zhen frowned tightly, looking at Gao Yan firmly, "Don't leave me."

Gao Yan's kisses fell on Tan Zhen's eyebrows and cheeks like raindrops, and finally Gao Yan let go of Tan Zhen, lay sideways beside him, and carefully embraced Tan Zhen's waist.

☆, Chapter 52

In the early morning, when Li Zheng came in with the medicine, he happened to see Tan Zhen and Gao Yan kissing fiercely on the bed. Li Zheng's footsteps obviously paused, and his smile froze on his lips.The words to tell Tan Zhen to drink the medicine were half stuck in his throat for a while.In the end, he just bowed down and put the medicine on the ground, and quickly walked out with the curtain lifted.

After a warm and lingering kiss ended, Tan Zhen lay on Gao Yan's heaving chest, panting heavily.

"It was Li Zheng just now?"

It seemed to be an inadvertent question, but it made Tan Zhen feel a little uneasy, and he dared not look Gao Yan directly in the eyes. The word "um" seemed to be pressed in his throat, and it took him a long time to spit it out.

"Li Zheng treats you..."

Gao Yan wanted to continue asking, but Tan Zhen looked up at Gao Yan and interrupted him, "I have nothing to do with General Li."

"Of course I believe you." Gao Yan said, stretching out his hand to grab the scattered hair in front of Tan Zhen behind his ears, and lowered his head to kiss Tan Zhen's brow bone.

Tan Zhen closed his eyes obediently, leaned forward, and brought himself closer to Gao Yan's body.

"When we were in the southwest, we were besieged by Li Dingzhong. At that time, Your Highness, you were in a coma again. In order to cover Li Zheng and escape safely, I invited reinforcements. In desperation, I had no intention of blocking a sword for Li Zheng." After a pause, "Li Zheng is afraid that he feels ashamed of me."

Gao Yan sighed, "Li Zheng has been with me for many years, and he is also a man of great affection."

"Actually, the situation was critical at that time, and I didn't think too much about it. The only thought was to let Li Zheng escape back to Pingyang to find reinforcements." Tan Zhen half straightened up, and said softly, "I will make it clear to General Li when I find a chance. In case he thinks too much." After Tan Zhen said the last sentence, he deliberately rolled his eyes at Gao Yan.

Gao Yan pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, turned over suddenly and pressed Tan Zhen under him, kissed Tan Zhen, and kept rubbing down on Tan Zhen's body with both hands.The person under him suddenly let out a muffled groan between the intertwined lips and teeth, which made Gao Yan stop suddenly, and asked anxiously, "Did you touch the wound?"

Tan Zhen hugged Gao Yan's waist tightly, "It doesn't matter." He said and kissed Gao Yan more actively.

Months of patience finally broke out at this moment, Gao Yan frantically responded to Tan Zhen's enthusiasm, while taking care not to touch Tan Zhen's injured arm.

"Does it hurt?"

Tan Zhen's blurred eyes were filled with mist, and he was panting with forgetfulness.

"Tan Zhen~" Gao Yan gently kissed Tan Zhen's thin lips, and then slowly entered, until finally the two of them fit into each other and completely blended together.

……

Li Zheng was so drunk that he returned to the camp in the evening. He happened to meet Ge Cheng and was scolded by Ge Cheng by pointing his nose. Sun Ji has been replaced as the head coach, and Li Shilong will be in charge. Li Shilong set off from the capital three days ago and has now arrived in Huaiqing."

Hearing the news, the two were startled at the same time, feeling that something was wrong. Li Zheng's Jiu Jin was also half sober from the fright. The two looked at each other and decided to tell Gao Yan the news immediately.

When the two rushed into the camp, Gao Yan was sitting at the desk, studying the terrain carefully, while Tan Zhen was sitting aside and flipping through the military books.

The first thing Ge Cheng said when he saw Gao Yan was, "Your Highness! Something is wrong!" Tan Zhen, who had left the second half of the sentence aside, looked back at Gao Yan, hesitating to speak.

Tan Zhen guessed that Ge Cheng might have some scruples about his presence, so Tan Zhen put down his strategy book, "I'll go out first." After speaking, he got up and walked out.

"No, just say what you have to say. Tanzhen is not an outsider."

Gao Yan's words made Tan Zhen feel warm in his heart.

"Just received the urgent report that the emperor asked Li Shilong to replace Sun Ji. Li Shilong set off three days ago and has now arrived in Huaiqing."

Everyone present frowned at the same time.

"Li Shilong is not as easy to deal with as Sun Ji."

"Your Highness! I would like to be the vanguard and fight against Li Shilong!" Tan Zhen suddenly walked up to Gao Yan, looked at Gao Yan firmly and said.

Gao Yan glanced at Tan Zhen, and said in a low voice, "We'll wait until your injury recovers."

Li Zheng strode forward drunkenly, shouting: "Your Highness! I'll go!"

Ge Cheng dragged Li Zheng down, "Why are you joining in the fun! Then Li Shilong is the founding general who fought with the late emperor. Look at how drunk you are! What a big deal you can achieve!"

Li Zheng hasn't taken his eyes off Tanzhen since he entered the room, and now Ge Cheng reprimanded him in front of Tanzhen, and felt that he had lost face in front of Tanzhen. Angry, Gao Yan suddenly shouted: "Okay!"

"Li Zheng, look at yourself, you're so drunk now, you don't look like a general!"

After being yelled at by Gao Yan, Li Zheng lowered his head without saying a word.

"Ge Cheng is right. Li Shilong is different from Sun Ji. He is good at fighting, strategizing, and invincible. At that time, the father and emperor were besieged by tens of thousands of enemy troops. He was about to be defeated. Li Shilong only led a dozen of his cronies to attack. Entering the enemy formation, the enemy soldiers showed no resistance, they stepped aside one after another, Li Shilong fought all the way into the formation, and only then rescued the late emperor."

Gao Yan said that he had already walked to the topographic map on the desk, "Come and take a look, and discuss a countermeasure together to deal with Li Shilong's attack."

------

Gao Yan arranged a detailed battle plan, and met Li Shilong in Lin'an one day later.

Gao Yan adopted a proactive strategy and divided the army into three groups. Li Zheng was the vanguard on the left, Ge became the vanguard on the right, Gao Yan himself led the central army, and the three armies all besieged Li Shilong. The two sides fought fiercely. Didn't take advantage of it, each retreated five miles, rested and fought again.

When fighting again, there was a sudden wind and sandstorm in the north. Unfortunately, the wind was facing Gao Yan's army. All the soldiers under Gao Yan were blinded by the wind and sand, and suddenly fell into chaos. Gao Yan immediately made a decision to retreat the whole army and enter Lin'an City takes shelter from the wind and sand for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Li Shilong surrounded Lin'an at this time, Gao Yan had no reinforcements outside, so he had to retreat inside the city, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.But Li Shilong outside the city did not give Gao Yan any chance to breathe at this time, and launched a fierce attack on the city wall every day. Gao Yan was tired of defending the city. Seeing that the tens of thousands of troops were about to be held back by Li Shilong, he retreated to Lin'an A meeting was held two days later in the city to discuss how to turn defense into offense.

"Your Highness! Tomorrow let me lead an army of [-] to rush out of Lin'an City and fight Li Shilong to the death!" Li Zheng stood up and said righteously.

"What nonsense!" Gao Yan sternly rejected Li Zheng's request without saying a word, "Leaving the city rashly, not only will we not be able to break through the siege, but if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack the city, we will all be ruined."

"Then what should we do! You can't just stay in the city and be beaten passively!" Li Zheng yelled again when he got anxious.When the generals below heard Li Zheng's words, they immediately started chattering.

Gao Yan frowned, he knew very well that he was a rebel, and the most unbearable delay of the rebels was time. Now it seems that although Li Shilong's two-day siege had little effect, it seriously frustrates Gao Yan. The fighting enthusiasm of Fang's soldiers, as in the past, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.Without reinforcements from outside, could it really be that they could only be defeated here?

"There is another way to break through Li Shilong's siege!" Everyone looked at Ge Cheng, "Now Li Shilong is focusing on besieging and attacking the city. If he can win [-] to [-] strong foreign reinforcements at this time, attack Li Shilong from the rear. The army will definitely catch him by surprise! Lin'an will not be able to save himself. At the same time, it can also take the opportunity to frustrate Li Shilong's spirit and reduce his strength."

"It's a good way, but almost all of our troops are now in Lin'an City. Where can we find reinforcements?"

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that there is still King Dingyuan?"

Hearing this name, Gao Yan couldn't help squinting at Tanzhen, and then murmured, "No, Gao Jing's attitude in Dingyuan last time was already obvious. Now that the king is trapped here, he won't make a move." Save each other."

"However, we have no other choice except to ask King Dingyuan."

The veins on Gao Yan's forehead stood out, he clenched his fists tightly, and there was a sense of helplessness in his eyes.

Didn't Gao Yan know that Gao Jing is the only person who can solve Lin'an's crisis, but the last time he went to Dingyuan, he begged Gao Jing in such a low voice, Gao Jing was unquestionable, and mercilessly refused, which greatly His dignity has been thwarted, and now he is asked to beg Gao Jing, and then to see Gao Jing's face, how can his majestic Pingyang King willingly fall to such a point.Besides, because of Tan Zhen, he now has a different view on Gao Jing.

After discussing until late at night, but still not getting a satisfactory method of retreating the enemy, the generals returned to their camps with full of thoughts, preparing for the next defense.

Tan Zhen lay on Gao Yan's chest, quietly listening to his heavy and powerful heartbeat.After a while, he said: "The method Ge Cheng said is not bad."

After saying this sentence, Tan Zhen obviously felt the strength of Gao Yan's arm around his waist deepened.

"In the current situation, we have been in a state of passive defense. Once the outer city of Lin'an is breached, all the painstaking efforts of His Highness for so long will be in vain. If we can't get out of Li Shilong's siege, we will only have a dead end. In the current situation, apart from getting reinforcements With our help, we have no other options."

Gao Yan did not speak from the beginning to the end, but from Gao Yan's constantly tightening arms, Tan Zhen could feel Gao Yan's depression.

Knowing that Gao Yan might be unhappy with what he said next, Tan Zhen continued to say, "If it is not convenient for His Highness to go to Dingyuan, Tan Zhen is willing to fight to the death, and he will definitely help His Highness borrow it." Reinforcements!"

"What do you want to do!" Gao Yan suddenly shouted at Tan Zhen with angry eyes.

Tan Zhen was also surprised. He didn't expect Gao Yan's reaction to be so strong. Tan Zhen also guessed the reason for Gao Yan's reaction, so the further he went on, the lower his voice became. "I once had a friendship with King Dingyuan to fight together. If I intercede, maybe it will work."

"No! This king does not allow it!"

"Your Highness~" Looking at Gao Yan with an angry face, Tan Zhen felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

"Don't talk about this matter anymore! Go to bed first, I will go to the tower to have a look." Gao Yan got up and dressed, and walked out of the camp.
