Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

If those spies who have already died knew in hell that they had gone through so much hardship and even paid the price with their own lives to slightly disrupt the situation here.

It took a lot of effort to kill Li Kuan!
But in the end,
Li Kuan was fine! Didn't they sacrifice their lives in vain?

I’m afraid they’ll be so angry that they’ll die!

"No... Impossible! Impossible! Li Kuan must be dead! You are just pretending to be calm and trying to deceive me!"

The man shook his head repeatedly with a dull look in his eyes. He really couldn't accept that after all the trouble he had gone through, he got such a result!

"kill!"

After looking at the deflated expression on the spy leader's face for a while, Eunuch Cao suddenly felt extremely happy for no reason!

He was depressed for a long time because of the invasion of barbarians and the abduction of innocent people.

Now, I can finally hold my head high!

"Gulu One"

As Eunuch Cao finished speaking, several executioners raised their swords, and then dropped them heavily, heading straight for the necks of those men!

Before they could even react, the head rolled to the ground, eyes wide open with expressions of disbelief!

"Once this batch of potatoes is distributed to the victims, the locust plague should be stabilized..."

Eunuch Cao glanced at the heads at his feet, then looked towards a busy convoy not far away, and murmured as he raised the corners of his mouth.

That convoy was obviously the one sent from the capital to transport potatoes for disaster relief.

"I just don't know what the situation is like over there, Your Majesty? But I think with Your Majesty's ability, the issues outside Yanmen Pass should have been resolved by now..."

Eunuch Cao suddenly looked in the direction of Yanmen Pass, as if he wanted to travel thousands of miles to see clearly the situation outside Yanmen Pass.

Although the barbarians had deployed 200,000 troops outside Yanmen Pass, he was sure that Li Kuan could quickly resolve this hidden danger.

After all, His Majesty Li Kuan has always been a person who is good at creating miracles!
Give your majesty a few thousand men, maybe he can unify the Tiele tribes of the Turks in the northern desert and make them submit to him!

Not to mention.

And there is Dayan’s army, providing support behind them!
………………

A small village in Wugong County is the place where the locust plague is most serious. Countless locusts passed through here and ate all the crops and vegetation!
Within a radius of ten miles,

There is not a single trace of green!

Not a blade of grass grows!

A small house on the east side outside the village.

"Dad! I'm back! Come and see what good things I brought back!"

Old man Wang's son was carrying a sack and walking quickly towards the courtyard from a distance. The gloom on his face had long since disappeared.

"What are you doing out here again? We're going to run out of food soon! If you don't ask your uncle Li to buy some food on credit, we'll be starving in a few days!"

Old man Wang walked out of the house with a staggering gait, his eyes dull and lifeless.

"Dad! Take a look first!"

Old man Wang's son didn't say much. He hurried forward, put down the cloth bag on his shoulder, and poured out all the contents.

Old man Wang saw potatoes with large and plump tubers.

"Dad! These are the potatoes the government gave us! These are potatoes that can be used as food! Just this one is enough for a meal for both me and my son!"

There was an indescribable surprise in the eyes of Old Man Wang's son. When he received the notice to go to the yamen to collect something, he thought he was going to collect rice!

But when he got there, he got half a sack of potatoes, so he was naturally a little unhappy.

But when he knew the uses of potatoes, he picked up the sack and rushed home.

He was afraid that someone would snatch his precious potatoes!
"What? Is this true?"

Old man Wang's wrinkled face showed his uncontrollable excitement.

With potatoes like this, would they still be afraid of going hungry?

"Oh! That's right! His Majesty gave me some potato sprouts earlier! Are they those potatoes?"

Old Man Wang slapped his head and remembered that the imperial court had distributed some potato seedlings for them to plant not long ago!
Out of trust in Li Kuan, he even planted potatoes in the most fertile land of his home! However, locusts attacked and ate all the stems and leaves.

"Dad! They said those are the ones! And I heard that potatoes grow in the soil! Locusts can't eat them!"

"Then what are you still standing there for! Go get the tools!"

"Dad! Where are you going? Wait for me!"

Old Man Wang didn't bother to say anything and trotted all the way to the field.

A moment later, with the efforts of the father and son, all the potatoes in a small field were cleared out.

"so much!"

There are only so many potatoes in a small field! Old man Wang has some good land at home, all planted with potatoes!
Such a large amount! Even without other food, they can survive this winter and wait for the next spring to plant other things!
"It is a gift from God. No! It is given to us by His Majesty! The General is our benefactor..."

Old man Wang burst into tears. Since ancient times, wherever locusts pass, there will be no harvest that year.

Without food,
These little people will starve to death sooner or later!
Now it was Li Kuan who gave them potatoes!

Gave them hope to live! This is no different from being their own parents again!
"You little brat! What are you standing there for? Come back to the house with me! Clean the general's tablet for me! Let's pay our respects to the general and burn some incense for him... He was such a good man... He's gone just like that..."

Old man Wang wiped away his tears.

He is a farmer who has been dealing with the loess earth all his life and he cannot read a single word.

But he knew that it was Li Kuan who stepped forward when Dayan was in trouble and saved them from the suffering of war!

We had made preparations for a rainy day before.

Let them plant potatoes, and save them from the locust famine now!

In the end, Li Kuan drew his sword and committed suicide for the safety of innocent people!
I want to ask, how can such a Majesty not be loved by the people? How can he not be worshipped by the people?
………………

Chang'an City, Du Mansion.

Du Ruyan was dancing with a sword in the backyard. The long sword in her hand was like a snake, swimming flexibly beside her.

But she looked towards the door over there from time to time, as if she was paying attention to someone's arrival.

But little Yanyan had lost her former liveliness. She lay on the rocking chair where Li Qiu often sat, teasing the katydid in her hand with some boredom.

"Sister, when will my brother-in-law come back?"

Little Yanyan pouted, seeming a little unhappy. Since Li Kuan left, all the delicious food she ate became tasteless. Without Li Kuan's company, the huge backyard also became extremely deserted.

"You! He's only been gone for a few days, and you miss him so much? You bicker with him all the time when he's at home."

Du Ruyan stopped what she was doing, put down her sword, and said unhappily.

"Humph! Then he can't just leave me and go!"

Little Yanyan snorted, her round little face looked so cute that people couldn't help but pinch it.

"Little girl, your brother-in-law is not going sightseeing! He is going to the battlefield, how dangerous it is! How can he take you with him!" Du Ruyan walked to Xiao Yanyan, rubbed her little head, and then said with some doting.

"You! Just stay at home and wait for him to come back. He will be back when he finishes his work..."

Without waiting for Xiao Yanyan to say anything, Du Ruyan continued, but she suddenly looked towards the sky in the direction of Yanmen Pass. It was obvious that she was also very concerned about Li Kuan.

………………

Time never stops.

Before long, it was already the next morning.

To the northwest of Yanmen Pass in Dayan, Yang Wanchun and his entourage fled all the way to the territory of Qiuci.

"General! We have finally arrived at the Kingdom of Kucha!"

The deputy general beside Yang Wanchun was in low spirits, and the warhorse under his crotch was moving very slowly.

After a whole day of fleeing without sleep, not only were the Goguryeo soldiers who had to rely on their own legs to run were exhausted, but even the horses were almost exhausted!
The group of people had already seen the limit of collapse!
But they were on high alert! They didn't dare to relax at all!

It was because there was a group of killing gods behind them, approaching them at an extremely fast speed!
Now that they have arrived in the territory of Qiuci, how can they not be ecstatic?

"Hurry up! Go to the capital of the Kingdom of Kucha!"

Yang Wanchun did not relax at all. He did not think he would be safe here.

If you are hunted down by Li Kuan and the killing machines under his command, the only way out here is death!
Only if they reach the capital of the Kingdom of Kucha will they have a chance of escape.

"But... General... they..."

The deputy general hesitated to speak and pointed at the soldiers behind him who were marching very slowly.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue on his journey, it’s just that the soldiers under his command are all living people!

People need to eat and rest! Even if they are soldiers!
“…Rest for a while, and then set off again in a quarter of an hour! Anyone who dares to delay the military plane will be killed without mercy!”

Yang Wanchun was silent for a while after hearing this, but still nodded.

Look at the soldiers' current state. They can't walk very fast. It would be better for them to travel in this state instead of being chased and killed by Li Kuan's men and then easily slaughtered.

It would be better to let them rest for a while now, so as to at least preserve some strength to resist.

………………

Twenty miles away, on a small hillside.

"General, the group of people from Goguryeo should be heading in that direction."

Gao Shun, who was standing by, took a few glances at the traces on the ground and the dust in the air that had not yet dispersed, then turned around and said to Li Kuan.

"Hahaha... these barbarians are really useless. Looking at the traces they left behind, they must have slowed down. My axe is getting impatient!"

Before Li Kuan could say anything, Cheng Yaojin burst into laughter.

In fact.

It’s not that the Goguryeo soldiers are useless. No one can withstand a march of this intensity.

Soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp,

Although the march was fast, they also had time to rest along the way.

"That direction... is the location of the Kingdom of Kucha... Yang Wanchun wants to go to the Kingdom of Kucha!"

Li Kuan did not take over the conversation, but just looked in the direction of the King's City of Kucha, and his brows suddenly frowned.

"Hmm? What are these people thinking? Going to Kucha at this time? Aren't they trying to catch us in a trap?"

When the old demon Cheng on horseback heard this, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

If Yang Wanchun had traveled thousands of miles, they might have been able to escape.

But if they went to a fixed place, wouldn't they be waiting for Li Kuan to bring his men to take their heads off?
"Could it be that they want to use the power of Kucha to resist us?"

Gao Shun's face looked a little ugly. He was not as bold as Cheng Yaojin, a rough man.

If that were the case, they might return empty-handed.

After all, that is the Kingdom of Kucha, someone else’s lair!

Naturally, there are many advantages in your own territory!
Li Kuan and the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp marched alone deep into the enemy's territory.

Without follow-up support, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen!
"Humph! The Kingdom of Kucha is not a good thing either! They also had a hand in the invasion of our Great Yan Kingdom! Although they retreated in the end, they are still unforgivable! Sooner or later, I will settle accounts with them with this axe!"

Cheng Yaojin, the optimist, seemed not to have thought about the pros and cons, and was a little excited when he heard it.

He has no good feelings towards these restless small countries around Da Yan!
"Keep marching! We can't let them go no matter what!"

Li Kuan's eyes suddenly focused, and he pointed the black spear in his hand forward. He stretched his thighs inward, driving the warhorse under him to continue moving forward.

How could he let these barbarians go so easily! The innocent people of Dayan must not die in vain!

Besides, if they really wanted to escape to the territory of Kucha, what would happen?

He just didn't believe that the so-called King of Kucha would really stop him at all costs!

If one wants to stop Dayan and stop Li Kuan, a mere Kingdom of Kucha is not qualified enough!

Even if the King of Kucha really did this, it would not stop Li Kuan!

He once led the soldiers of Xianzhen Camp to kill Jieli Khan in front of the Turkic tribes in Mobei. Today, he can also kill Yang Wanchun and all his people in front of the people of Qiuci!
At Li Kuan's command, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp started moving again and pursued at a very fast speed.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose up!

………………

On the other side, Yang Wanchun and his group, who had stopped to rest, returned to the spot.

Many soldiers had already collapsed on the ground. If it weren't for the desire to survive that supported their will, they would have fallen to the ground long ago!
"No! Everyone, get up! Keep marching!"

Yang Wanchun, who was drinking water and taking a rest, suddenly dropped the kettle in his hand, patted the resting warhorse beside him, and climbed onto the horse's back in a panic.

Just because he saw dust rising all over the sky at the end of his vision.

Li Kuan and his group of killing machines are about to catch up!
"What are you all standing there for! If you don't want to die, get up now! Get up now!"

Yang Wanchun led the vanguard on his warhorse and walked in front. When he looked back, he saw many soldiers still sitting in the same place with no intention of moving. His anger instantly burst out.

Yang Wanchun roared angrily at the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command.

"Ah! Those demons are catching up!"

"Run!"

"I don't want to die..."

"..."
