Liu Tan felt that his head was hurting when he heard the words Chang'an and Babailijiaji. He calmed down and asked, "What's the situation? Why is King Guangchuan joining in the fun? Wait...Who is King Guangchuan?" who?"

It was the first time he noticed the difficulties of his family and his business, and he couldn't even remember who it was that King Guangchuan popped up all of a sudden.

After all, on weekdays, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and everyone has nothing to do with each other. When they were in Chang'an, they seldom heard from them. As long as these princes and kings did not commit suicide, Liu Che would not give them a look.

Huo Guang was much stronger than Liu Tan, the half-baked prince, and quickly said: "King Guangchuan should be the eldest son of Liu Yue, King Hui of Guangchuan, and Liu Yue's biological mother is Mrs. Wang, the younger sister of Empress Xiaojing."

Liu Tan changed his relationship for a long time before he said, "So... the King of Guangchuan is now my cousin?"

Huo Guang nodded and frowned and said, "The king of Guangchuan is usually silent, why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Liu Tan said: "First of all, you have to ask him how he got the news so early. If he didn't know the news early, the timing couldn't have been so coincidental. I just received the news, and he was even earlier than me. Unless you send him a The person who sent the message came out with the person who sent me the message."

Huo Guang's expression changed: "There are traitors in Chang'an."

"A traitor is not necessarily a traitor, but there must be someone with a bad intention. Well, there is no need to guess why King Guangchuan rebelled. The result is that he rebelled. Chang'an should have responded, but now Chang'an is only supported by his mother. I have to get back as soon as possible."

After Liu Tan said this, Miao Rui and Bi Gao hurried over and said, "Your Highness, you are ready."

Liu Tan nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go immediately."

Huo Guang lost his voice and said, "What? But it's almost dark."

Liu Tan said: "I can't afford to delay, it's still early before dark, I just finished lunch, and now there's still time."

Huo Guang said quickly: "But it will take some time to prepare for the trip."

"No, the elite regiment has been assembled, and I can go on my horse. At this time, do I have to prepare a bunch of things like usual? I'm going back to Beijing, not going to the barren mountains, and that's enough. "

Huo Guang pursed his lips. He knew what Liu Tan said was right, and he couldn't worry about those details any more at a time like this, but... he knew that riding a horse was a lot of trouble, not to mention that Liu Tan's original riding skills were only mediocre. It was very hard going this way, and the thought of it made him feel distressed.

Huo Guang could only suppress this distress, and said: "When you arrive in Chang'an, take down the rebels first, and then stabilize the court. You don't need to do anything. As long as you are here, it is enough. Find His Majesty's whereabouts as soon as possible. I can't find..."

Liu Tan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he interrupted sharply: "What are you talking about! Why can't you find it? You can definitely find it! No matter what Liu Fuling is thinking, even if he really wants to rebel, he can't get himself into it. , This time it was just an accident, maybe... Maybe there is already news about the father, or the news that the father is safe and sound will be sent back when I arrive in Chang'an."

Huo Guang looked at him quietly, his eyes were slightly red, and he said with a little choking: "I also hope that His Majesty is safe and sound, but... Your Highness... this is not the time to be emotional."

Liu Che's disappearance, Huo Guang was not much less impacted than Liu Tan. For Huo Guang, Liu Che was both a king and a father, so he was emotionally unacceptable, but he was much more mature than Liu Tan after all. Will for transfer.

That's the sea. If you get lost at sea, how can you find it?

Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang, with a little water in his eyes, but it didn't fall after all. He raised his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, Chang'an won't be chaotic, I know it well."

After he finished speaking, he turned back to his dormitory and changed into a black outfit. At the same time, he was equipped with waist knives, bows and arrows, and crossbows. When he walked out, he happened to see Lu Xuan standing outside with a cloak wait for him.

Lu Xuan came over and put the cloak on him with his own hands, put the hood on him, covered half of his face, and said: "Be careful all the way, I let Ajiamu lead people to follow in secret."

As soon as Liu Tan wanted to say something, he covered Liu Tan's mouth and said, "Don't worry, they will stop and return to Shuofang City when they are about to leave the northern border country. Don't worry me."

Liu Tan's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded vigorously. Lu Xuan walked out with him and said: "If necessary, you can let them do things, but don't let them go out in the open, lest someone will criticize you. You colluded with the Huns."

Not everyone can tell the difference in appearance between Wusun people and Huns. In fact, Wusun and Huns are basically the same race, and there is no difference.

Listening to Liu Tan, when he walked to the square, the elite regiment had already assembled, lined up neatly in black, and even the war horses were standing quietly beside them wearing the latest harness.

He gave Lu Xuan a final hug and said, "I'm leaving, take care."

Lu Xuan responded without saying anything.

Liu Tan turned his head to Huo Guang and the others and said, "I'll leave everything here to you."

Huo Guang and the others also saluted him. Liu Tan turned his head and walked to his horse, and got on the horse with a strong figure. Then he raised his arm, and the elite group behind him got on the horse in a uniform manner.

It was obviously a scale of nearly a thousand people, but it turned out to be like a single person.

Even though Huo Guang and the others had already seen the strength of the elite group in this respect, they couldn't help but feel refreshed at this moment.

At least with such an army, they don't have to worry about Liu Tan being in danger.

Liu Tan led the people all the way to the north. He originally told Huo Guang and Lu Xuan that he would rush to the next station to rest as soon as possible. However, when he arrived at the next station, he just asked someone to pack some food and water. , and even changed a horse, and then continued on their way.

Changing horses but not people is usually something that only urgent couriers do, and Liu Tan also experienced this time.

No way, who let him go to the post station when he wanted to rest, but he heard that the Taiwei was assassinated by a ranger on the street when he returned from the palace. Now Chang'an is in chaos, and the queen wanted to mobilize troops but was blocked in every possible way. The mobilization of soldiers and horses does not move the food and grass.

Seeing that the King of Guangchuan was about to approach the city, the queen and Mrs. Wei spent all their assets to get food and grass to deploy troops for defense.

When Liu Tan received the news, his whole body was going to explode. He knew it was the prime minister's handwriting. He actually forced his mother to spend money from his own house to buy food and grass. He went back and skinned Liu Quyao raw!

The situation was so critical that Liu Tan didn't care about taking a break, so he could only continue on his way because he changed his plan.

Although Chang'an is in crisis now, the palace should still be stable. Chen Ajiao can't control Chang'an's normality, but she can't control the palace.

So he needs to go and arrest King Guangchuan first, which is equivalent to solving the crisis, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Well, if you can catch it, you can catch it, if you can't catch it, you can kill it directly.

Liu Tan glanced at the map and studied the location of Guangchuan.

I have to be thankful that the roads in this era are not so developed. There is only one official road that can accommodate the march of the army, otherwise he would have to judge which side Liu Qi will go, which is simply embarrassing him.

Wei Buyi stood beside him and said worriedly: "Your Highness, why don't I bring 500 people there, and you take 500 people back to Chang'an."

He knew that Lu Xuan's people had been secretly protecting them. Those people were scattered all over the country, but if he calculated carefully, there were at least five or six hundred people. As long as those people escorted Liu Tan to Chang'an, then Liu Tan's safety should be fine.

Liu Tan sneered: "Do you know how many people King Guangchuan brought? He brought 6000 people, and you want to stop him with 500 people?"

Wei Buyi said seriously: "It's not impossible to set up an ambush."

The quality of the soldiers in the elite regiment is so good that it is not comparable to ordinary soldiers, so even if there is a huge difference in the number, Wei Buyi is not worried.

Liu Tan shook his head: "No, you only have my warrant and you are not qualified to arrest him, and I have the prince's decree and the queen's decree in my hand, so this is just a reluctance, I have to go."

Seeing this, Wei Buyi couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only say: "Then Your Highness...the difference in the number of people is still a bit too much, we need to think long-term."

Liu Tan glanced at the map with some irritability and said, "What's wrong? The method of drawing a map has been told to those people a long time ago. Why haven't all the maps been replaced? Who can understand this broken map?"

Wei Buyi smiled wryly after hearing this, they were able to understand these maps originally, but they didn't expect that now they are all spoiled by the new map made by His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm, and one by one they are not used to this map.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, let me come."

Liu Tan nodded. The reason why he brought Wei Busu out was that Wei Busu was more experienced than him in this area. The only thing he could do was to think about how to trick the other party.

He originally wanted to have some quicklime prepared, but when he thought that those soldiers were also ordinary people, he was a little bit hesitant to do so.

This kind of kindness is not kindness to the rebels, but to the common people.

Most of the people are ignorant. They are the subjects of King Guangchuan, so they naturally want to listen to King Guangchuan.

Therefore, in dealing with rebels in the past dynasties, the leader of the thief and the main participants were generally arrested and severely punished. In the end, ordinary soldiers should do whatever they want. , generally do not kill people.

Liu Tan can be cruel to the Huns, but it is difficult to be so cruel to the people of the country. Killing people is just nodding. Can use bows and gunpowder to ambush.

Otherwise, if 1000 people fight 6000 people, even if they can survive, there will definitely be casualties.

Liu Tan felt sorry for the death of one person, let alone so many deaths.

He let Wei Buyi choose the location for the ambush, and after arriving there, he waited for two days before the army of King Guangchuan arrived.

Standing in the distance, Liu Tan looked at those people and frowned and said, "No, it seems that there are only more than 500 people at most. How could there be 6000 people? Where did the rest go?"
