Although more than 1,000 cavalry seems to be a lot, they are not worth mentioning compared to these hundreds of thousands of troops.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the so-called army assembled in the eastern capital of Luoyang has only such a small number of men? These manpower are not enough for the rebels. ”

Gao Xianzhi sighed lightly, and the flame of hope that had just burned in his eyes was suddenly extinguished.

I listened to the adjutant on the side explain: "Originally, there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of King Qin, all of whom were cavalry, but later I heard that the rebels were menacing, and they might endanger the capital of Chang'an." So later, the prime minister sent some soldiers and horses from it to Chang'an, but the rest of the men were immediately sent to Luoyang. ”

Gao Xianzhi shook all over, only to feel as if all the strength of his whole body had been suddenly drained, and he could no longer stand steadily. He took a long breath and stabilized his figure, and sighed heavily, "It's just that the state has such a traitorous minister, but the saint has given him a heavy responsibility, which is really a mistake for the country! Is he Yang Guozhong a fool? This land of Luoyang has not been lost, what danger can Chang'an have? And where does he not know that the front line is tight? Not only did he send reinforcements to dismantle the platform like this, but he missed a major event, a major event!"

Gao Xianzhi broke his liver and intestines every sentence, and when he said Zuihou, his voice was hoarse, and even gasping became extremely difficult. The strong body could no longer support it, and it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell down. Zuihou still propped his long sword on the ground, supporting his own weight, so as not to fall.

At this moment, although more than 1,000 cavalry members joined the front line, it was still a drop in the bucket. The role played was very limited, and it was drowned in the sea of people before it set off a big wave.

Soon, the front line was defeated, and most of the 50,000 horses were scattered and directly dispersed.

"General, the front line can't stand it, while the rebels haven't hit here, let's retreat first. The marshal had already expected that Luoyang might not be guaranteed this time, so he specially asked the lower officials to come to ensure the safety of the adults. ”

A figure suddenly appeared in the crowd beside Gao Xianzhi out of nowhere. Bypassing the lieutenant beside him, he came straight to him. Gao Xianzhi only felt that a clear voice suddenly came from his ears. Then I noticed that there was a figure in front of me.

Gao Xianzhi was taken aback, and said, "Dashuai, King Rong, is he ready for the destruction of Luoyang City?

In the face of Gao Xianzhi's bitter voice, the person who came did not retreat at all. The body twisted like a ghost. Somehow he came behind Gao Xianzhi.

"Your Excellency, General. The lower official was offended. The person who came stretched out his hand like a knife and slashed at the back of Gao Xianzhi's head.

Gao Xianzhi was hit hard in the back of the head and snorted. Straight back and collapsed. The person who came kept moving, hugged Gao Xianzhi up, and his figure rushed towards the back of the battle like the wind. However, the bodies rose and fell a few times, and the figures of the two had disappeared from the battlefield.

On December 12 of the 14th year of Tianbao, the city of Luoyang was broken, and the 50,000 army was annihilated.

Li Xin, who stayed in Tokyo, and Lu Yi, the middle of the imperial history, swore not to surrender, and were captured and killed, and Yin Da Xixun of Henan surrendered. At this point, the land of Tokyo fell completely.

Deputy Marshal Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing retreated to Tongguan.

————————————

In Chang'an City, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the dark study room before, Yang Guozhong sat first, looking intently at the latest battle report in his hand. His brows jumped, and a look of joy filled it.

"Shi Rui, your strategy is really wonderful, now that the land of Luoyang is lost, Li Longji's wife is really much closer to me. However, according to his current situation, he can't support it for long, and he will go to Hades to report before the rebels are pacified. ”

A little smile appeared on Yang Guozhong's gloomy face, and he looked straight at the family in front of him called Shi Rui and said.

Shi Rui smiled coldly, "Your Excellency has done a good job, but it's still not enough." ”

"This is not enough? Now that the land of Luoyang has fallen into the hands of the rebels, if you let it go again, only Tongguan will be left. But the Tongguan is the gateway to Chang'an, and as soon as the Tongguan is broken, Chang'an is in danger. Could it be that you let me let me go out of Tongguan? I'm afraid I've gone too far, that is, Li Longji doesn't dare to do anything to me, but others will always have some complaints. ”

Yang Guozhong frowned and exclaimed.

Shi Rui shook his head and said: "My lord is wrong to think so, although the land of Luoyang was pocketed by the rebels, but for the Tang Dynasty, the loss is not big, and it is only the 50,000 cavalry under Gao Xianzhi's account." The Central Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty still has a lot of troops, and this mere 50,000 is nothing. The foundation of the Tang family has not been shaken at all, is the Lord willing to watch King Rong and that Gao Xianzhi hold heavy troops and be arrogant?"

Yang Guozhong's face was ruthless, and he said hatefully: "Hmph! I have long seen that King Rong is unhappy, but he is just a prince, and he wants to compare with me, it is simply wishful thinking." Does he really think that he can become an emperor?"

Shi Rui sneered again and again, "In that case, why don't you push the boat down the river and take advantage of the situation to ......" Speaking of this, Shi Rui put his hand across his neck and made a "kill" action.

Yang Guozhong's expression was solemn, all the expressions on his face disappeared, and he suddenly snorted coldly, staring at this Shi Rui up and down with his eyes, and suddenly said in a fierce voice: "Are you instigating the relationship between me and the Tang family like this?"

Shi Rui's body trembled suddenly, and he knelt down with a thud. He shouted, "Wronged!"

"My lord, the villain followed you three years ago, and the villain is loyal to the adult, and the world can learn from it. Since adults don't believe in villains, it's useless for villains to stay with adults, what's the point of living villains, it's better to be killed directly. ”

With that, Shi Rui stood up again, and turned his head to hit the stone pillar on the side.

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking. Yang Guozhong waved his hand, "It's just that it's a special period recently, and I'm a little troubled." But you don't have to think about it, I don't mean to distrust you. It's just that what you said still needs to be carefully planned. ”

Shi Rui's face softened slightly, and he said, "My lord, these villains have already thought about it for you." Adults may wish to come over with their ears. ”

Yang Guozhong hesitated for a moment, but still leaned his head over.

"My lord, I just need to be so ......" Shi Rui whispered into Yang Guozhong's ear, "My lord, the land of Tongguan is lost, and the rebels are coming to the city, and at that time, the adults will take out their private army in one fell swoop, repel the rebels, and save the Tang Dynasty from fire and water." In this way, not only is the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty grateful to the adults, but Li Longji should also be more respectful and trusting to the adults. ”

Yang Guozhong frowned, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Okay, this time I will act according to your plan, if this matter can be successful, I will definitely reward you heavily!"

"Adults don't need to be like this, it is my Shi Rui's honor to be able to share the worries of adults. Shi Rui said solemnly.

"Alright, alright, you can step aside. Yang Guozhong waved his hand and drove Shi Rui out.

Shi Rui replied and retreated respectfully.

"Hmph, just because you still want to fight with my son-in-law, it's really ridiculous, I want to see, what kind of expression will you have when you find out that Zuihou is pushing the Tang family into the abyss with your own hands?" Shi Rui just exited the door of the study, and immediately changed his face and smiled miserably.

"But just now it was really thrilling, and I thought he saw something flawed, and I didn't expect to be fooled by me in a few words. What is the prime minister of the court, but he only has such a little ambition. ”

Shi Rui glanced at Yang Guozhong's study twice, the light in his eyes flickered, but the look of disdain lingered.

And at this moment, Sui Feng with three thousand disciples finally rushed to Tongguan.

Tongguan is located at the crossing of the Yellow River, located in Jin, Shaanxi, Henan Province to rush, choke Chang'an to Luoyang post road to the key point, is the key to enter and exit the three Qin. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, it is the necessary place and key pass for the east to enter the Central Plains and the west to exit the Guanzhong and Western Regions, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

The city wall above it was high, and I felt a heavy aura of vicissitudes of life from a distance. (To be continued......)
