    He sighed:

    "Back then, the county prince was kind to me. He knew me when I was young and promised me half a lifetime of glory. Now that the descendants of the Ling family are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?"

    Hearing what he said, the old man was about to speak when Liu Changben continued:

    "Even though I know that the future is difficult, it's just a lifetime, so you don't have to persuade me anymore." At this point, Liu Changben thought for a while: "Now that I am already an annoying person, it would be better for you to speak less to me, so as not to worry about it in the future.  It will hurt you."

    He seemed to have guessed a little bit about his fate.

    The old man who came over to talk to him heard this and smiled bitterly:

    "If you already know what's going on, why bother?"

    The old man shook his head, sighed, straightened his clothes, turned around and went out.

    On the other side of the mansion, Ling Xian listened to the news that his eldest son had just received. Guo Han had led an army and was about to join Yu Zhaocheng.

    Once the two armies gather together and march towards Dingzhou, it will be the day of his disaster.

    When he hurriedly raised his troops that day, he clearly still longed for the dream of splitting the territory of the Tang Dynasty, separatizing the Tang Dynasty and proclaiming himself emperor. Now that the 'emperor' has not yet been firmly established, he has been forced to such a state.

    Ling Xian's face was a little gloomy. After his eldest son finished telling the news, he looked at him with trepidation. There was a serious look in his eyes. Thinking of what Liu Changben said today, it seemed like a curse.

    "Liu Chang can't stay anymore."

    He gritted his teeth and said in a dark voice:

    "This person has disturbed the morale of our army and is a disaster."

    When his eldest son heard this, he did not dare to answer the question.

    Dingzhou is not a place to stay for a long time. Guo Han and others will break into Dingzhou at any time. That night, Ling Xian summoned his entourage, but only turned away several loyal tribesmen of the old loyal and trustworthy county king.

    Everyone can clearly see this situation. He did not summon Liu Changben and others to come to discuss the matter. It is obvious that he no longer regards Liu Changben as a confidant.

    When Ling Xian asked again which direction the army was heading now, with Liu Changben's warning, everyone naturally did not dare to mention escaping to the Sanggan River in the northwest.

    In fact, after many people went back and thought about it carefully, according to what Liu Changben said, if the army fled towards the Sanggan River, as long as they left the pass, there would be barbarian land outside, and it would be difficult for the Tang army to capture Ling Xian.  It was indeed a good time to escape.

    But Ling Xian¡¯s attitude at this time made it clear that he didn¡¯t want to be like a bereaved dog.

    Then there were people who were good at guessing his intentions and put forward the suggestion of marching to Hanguguan.

    ?? Hangu Pass is located between the main road from Luoyang to Xijing, close to the Huai River, adjacent to Juejian in the east, and Qinling Mountains in the south. It is named because it is in a canyon and is as deep as a letter.

    This pass is extremely narrow and can only accommodate one vehicle. If there is only one person guarding the pass, it is said that ten thousand people cannot open it.

    The counselor suggested that if you enter Hangu Pass, you can directly connect the main road from Luoyang to Xijing.

    At that time, you can advance to Luoyang and kill the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If you retreat, you can recapture Xijing and plan for other things.

    When Yan Zhui led Guo Han and Yu Zhaocheng to order troops to set off for Taiyuan and Xijing, the sixteen guards in Luoyang City must have also ordered men and horses to follow the two generals. The defense of Luoyang City may not be that tight.

    " If Yan Zhui falls into the hands of Ling Xian, the revenge of the two princes who fell into the hands of Yan Zhui will be avenged. More importantly, Yan and Tang will lose two emperors in a row, and there will be great chaos.

    When the time comes, this place in Guanzhong will once again be plunged into war and disputes, and he can fish in troubled waters and seek benefits.

    Even if this idea fails and Luoyang cannot be captured for a long time, he can still return to Xijing. Although Guo Han has recaptured Xijing, it is Ling Xian's base camp and has been run by the Ling family for many years. He only needs to return to Xijing and do some business in Xijing.  The surname is still Ling, and it will not be too late to plan for big things by then.

    Having made up his mind, Ling Xian naturally did not take Liu Changben's words of abandoning Dingzhou and fleeing to the northwest to heart. Instead, he decided to go southwest and approach Hangu Pass.

    After he dismissed the crowd, he sent people to quietly order troops and horses. At the same time, he sent people to summon Liu Changben and ordered him to strictly guard Dingzhou City and personally guard the north gate of the city to keep an eye on Youzhou.

    Liu Changben was stunned for a moment and then agreed.

    Until daybreak, the 35,000 troops and horses that Ling Xian originally brought in the city quietly withdrew from Dingzhou City overnight.

    Ling Xian led the troops and left, leaving Liu Changben with only the old troops of more than a hundred people in Dingzhou City at his disposal, and the citizens of Dingzhou City who were forcibly recruited as soldiers that day!

    When Liu Changben got the news, he was completely confused.

    He had thoughtThe Xianhui Council didn't like his comments. After all, what he said was different from other counselors who tried to please Lingxian. Every word was a bit unpleasant, but he was always thinking of Lingxian.

    But Liu Chang never dreamed that Ling Xian would leave such a mess for him to clean up!

    And when they withdrew from Dingzhou City, they also transferred him out of the city. Now that the messenger came, Ling Xian didn't know how long he had been gone.

    Liu Changben felt weak all over. He held his hands on the city wall and was speechless for a long time.

    Those who came to deliver the message couldn't bear to look at Liu Changben's face. He was the great adviser to the old prince. He was highly trusted by the old prince. He always accompanied the old prince when he went out and left. He was very majestic.

    Now, Ling Xian treats him as an abandoned son and throws him away in Dingzhou City.

    Liu Chang was stunned for a long time, then he collected his feelings, suppressed his grief, and asked, "Which direction did the prince go?"

    He was guarding the north gate, heading towards Youzhou. Logically speaking, if Ling Xian listened to him and headed northwest, even if he didn't pass through the north gate, he should have exited through the west gate.

    Liu Changben has been strictly guarding the north gate. In any case, there is no way that he could miss the traces of Ling Xian and others, especially with so many people.

    At this time, a bad premonition came into his heart.

    Ling Xian led the army to set off so quietly. If he wanted to hide it from his sight and ears, he could only go out from the city gate farthest from the north and in a different direction, so he might not notice it.

    As expected, the soldier who delivered the order lowered his head and whispered:

    "At the second quarter of Yinshi"

    "Say it quickly!" Liu Changben couldn't control himself at this time. He grabbed the sergeant and shouted loudly.

    If Ling Xian really doesn't listen to him and goes out from the south gate and goes straight down to Hangu Pass, the Ling family may be in trouble.

    In his early years, he was greatly favored by the prince, who favored him several times and promised him glory and wealth. When he was young, he swore to be loyal to the prince's palace throughout his life.

    Before his death, the old prince had told him to take care of the Ling family's bloodline. He must protect the lives of the Ling family's descendants in the future and keep the Ling family's inheritance.

    Liu Changben felt that his hands were shaking when he recalled the scene of his earnest confession before the old prince's illness.

    The general might as well be that he is old and frail, and he is not a warrior. He is just a frail scholar. He still has such strength when he is excited. He was startled and said quickly:

    "At the second quarter of Yinshi, the emperor left from the north and south and went straight to Luoyang" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
