Tian Jianye, the general of Tongguan, suddenly saw Bian Lingcheng's appearance, and asked Cheng Cheng in fear: "Why is the general like this?"

In his opinion, this prison gate general must have escaped after being attacked by the rebels against Hu, and he had gone through a lot of hardships to escape, but who would have expected that Bian Lingcheng dragged his thin voice and said loudly: "Quickly send someone to go back to Chang'an with a certain person to meet the sage, Da Xian won a great victory, and burned Cui Shun's 50,000 people of grain and grass in a war, and the danger of Hongnong will be solved in a few days!"

The high-pitched voice and exaggerated expression made Tian Jianye think that Bian Lingcheng had lost his mind after the defeat of the army, and he couldn't help but look at him hesitantly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"Why don't you hurry up and prepare your horses, select ten guards, and return to Beijing with a certain person!"

Tian Jianye grunted and swallowed, but still asked: "Is the general saying that Cui Qianyou's grain and grass have been burned?

"What? Do you still want to show your military situation to your feet?" Bian Lingcheng's face suddenly turned cold, and he asked with pity, which frightened Tian Jianye and shrunk his neck, "Don't dare, don't dare!"

The dignified Hangu guard will be submissive in front of an old beggar, and the soldiers and people who don't know the truth look at it from a distance, only feeling unbelievable, and they all secretly look at the excitement. However, the two overseer soldiers who had whipped and humiliated the old beggar had long been frightened when they saw this scene.

Needless to say, there is no doubt that the old beggar in front of him should be the general of the prison gate.

The two of them opened their minds almost at the same time, and knelt in front of the ragged Bian Lingcheng, "The general spares his life, I, I am blind, blinded ...... dog's eyes."

In an instant, a stench of smell dispersed, and one of the soldiers was frightened and incontinent! It was not for nothing that they were so afraid of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, and that a lieutenant general of the Sixteenth Guard Army had humiliated a certain eunuch in court, and within a year this person was convicted of rebellion, his family was raided, and his wife and daughter were sold to other families as slaves and maids.

What kind of person Tian Jianye is, seeing this scene, he also understands that these two fools who are not long-eyed must have collided with the general of the prison gate, and they can't help but secretly have a headache, if they are implicated because of this, it will be a disaster, so they can't help but order these two people to be pulled out and killed with military sticks.

"Wait" Bian Lingcheng, whose face changed for a while, stopped him, and suddenly let out two sharp laughs, and then said to the two soldiers who were lying on the ground with their butts pouting: "Which one is Yang Xianggong?"

How dare the two respond, they only kowtow like pounding garlic and beg for mercy. Bian Lingcheng tightened the loose hakama belt around his waist, let out a contemptuous and happy cold snort between his nose, and didn't look at the two messes of rotten meat lying on the ground, and flashed towards the Tongguan City Gate.

Tian Jianye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed, "The general's belly is like the sea, go down and admire, admire." ”

Bian Lingcheng turned his head and seemed to smile, "Han Anguo, the imperial historian of the former Han Dynasty, was humiliated by the jailer Tian Jia, and when he was resurrected, he didn't deal with the jailer, do you know why?"

What kind of person is Han Anguo, what kind of allusion is the resurrection, Tian Jianye is a rough person, and he has never heard of it, but he knows that he does not wear thousands of sycophants.

"Please show the general!"

Bian Lingcheng nodded with satisfaction, but asked rhetorically: "I've only heard of dogs biting people, how have you ever heard of people biting dogs?"

"Huh?"

Tian Jianye was dumbfounded, looking at the ragged prison general, his intuition was unpredictable, shouldn't he be retribution with such a eunuch temperament?

……

It rained for a whole day and the heavy snow finally stopped at the time of the palm lamp, Chang'an Xingqing Palace, the old son of heaven trembled and leaned on the corner tower of the palace wall, and looked to the east by the railing, which was the direction of Tongguan.

"Wind thief in the night, don't invade your body, the old slave helps the saint go back. The same old Colliers stepped forward, held Li Longji's forearm, and wanted to go down the corner tower. Who knows, the old son of heaven struggled to break free, and his eyes never left the inky sky in the east for a moment.

Suddenly, a little fire suddenly rose in the dark void, and then the fire light lit up again and again from far and near. Seeing this, Li Longji's tense body relaxed, "Let's go, go back." The voice was dry as if it had just thawed.

The first light of the fire is called "peace fire", from Tongguan to Chang'an, ten miles will set up a beacon pier, every day at the beginning of the night to put a beacon torch, in order to report peace. The Tang Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and there has never been a single break.

Xin'an Dajie failed to make the Son of Heaven's peace of mind last long, after the news of the sudden loss of Michi was transmitted back to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven would climb the corner tower of the eastern palace wall every day when he held the lamp, and he would never go downstairs without seeing the peace fire.

Today, Youwei Zhonglang returned Wang Xiaoxuan to Chang'an and brought back the news of Cui Qianyou's army's surprise attack on Hongnong, which immediately shook the government and the opposition. If Hongnong loses, the Tang army in Shaanxi County will face the danger of being attacked from the east and west, and Tongguan, which is close to Hongnong County, will also face the front of the anti-Hu rebels for the first time.

The Son of Heaven, who has always been gentle and moderate, has a rare rage, on the grounds that it is unfavorable to protect the messenger of the Son of Heaven and has lost his integrity, he was sentenced to the court, deprived Wang Xiaoxuan of all official positions, and sent him to prison for punishment. Then he urgently ordered the chamberlain to go to Shangshu's right servant to shoot Ge Shuhan's mansion to pass the edict, and asked him to go to Xingqing Palace immediately to ask for the right thing.

After Ge Shuhan suffered a stroke this spring, he has been bedridden at home to recuperate, although after more than half a year of recuperation, he has greatly improved, but his right arm and right leg are still not very flexible, and he is obviously lame when he walks a little faster.

In order to show that he was in good health, Ge Shuhan did not take the chariot given by the Son of Heaven, but rode the Dawan good horse from the Western Regions River and galloped straight into Xingqing Palace on Chang'an Street.

Seeing this, the pedestrians in Chang'an Street looked sideways, "Isn't that the Duke of Geshu?" I heard that he has suffered a stroke this spring, how can he dare to ride a horse?"

If he is really ill, how can the Son of Heaven proclaim his worship?"

"It makes sense, the old general Geshu is out, and the rebels are just around the corner!"

Pedestrians talked a lot, and without exception, they were full of hope and confidence in the current situation. As for Luoyang, the eastern capital that has fallen, it is too far away in their eyes.

After staying in the Xingqing Palace for three full hours, Ge Shuhan rode the Dawan horse back to the palace when it was dark. After the war horse went straight into the mansion, the servants closed the door, and Ge Shuhan fell off the horse with a bang, and the violent bumps consumed too much of his energy, and it was already the limit to endure it at this moment.

The servants exclaimed, and they came and snatched it. Ge Shuhan scolded weakly: "All retreat!" Then he supported the ground with his left arm alone, straightened his upper body, and slowly got up with difficulty, stepping on the bricks under his feet steadily.

"Let's go, help me back to my room!"

……

About an hour after Ge Shuhan left Xingqing Palace, more than a dozen cavalry escorted the ragged old beggars from Tonghua Gate to Chang'an City, and went straight to Xingqing Palace to the left at Yongjiafang. The palace gate guards shouted from afar: "Who dares to ride horses in the imperial city?"

"A certain is the general of the prison gate, Bian Lingcheng is also, Hongnong County has won a great victory, and he has reported the victory to the saint!"

"Raise the fire!"

The palace gate guard ordered his subordinates to light torches, and when he saw Bian Lingcheng's ragged clothes and embarrassment, he was surprised: "Why is the general of the prison gate here?"

"Time is urgent, please report to the saint as soon as possible, there is an urgent military situation......" The palace guard first listened to Bian Lingcheng's report, and at this moment, seeing his urgent tone, he couldn't help but get nervous. However, there is a rule in the palace that the palace door is not opened after sunset, unless there is an edict from the Son of Heaven.

"But please general, wait!"

Bian Lingcheng was originally a palace attendant, and he was familiar with the rules, so he thanked him and said a word more.

After a while, the Dongbian Gate opened from the inside, and an inner eunuch hurriedly walked out, "The Son of Heaven has issued an edict, and the general of the prison gate has ordered Cheng to enter the palace to meet him!"

……

Early the next morning, the news of the great victory in Da Xian Mountain spread, and the grain and grass of 50,000 people of the Cui rebels were all burned, and the rebels who had no grain and grass were like toothless tigers.

It was the day of the Chang Dynasty, the sky was cloudy, and the hundred officials had already gathered inside and outside the palace gate, they didn't know much about the inside situation, and they only guessed which good general made a move to retreat from the enemy. Ge Shuhan was ordered to be in danger, and before he could leave Beijing, Gao Xianzhi, who raised troops and garrisoned in Shaanxi County, was the preferred target for everyone's speculation.

One of them said in the middle of the matter, "My brother is the general of the palace gate, and when it was night yesterday, Bian Lingcheng entered the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately shook a thousand waves.

Didn't Bian Lingcheng go out of Beijing to supervise the army in the edict of Jingjie? Why did he return to Beijing overnight? When he came back at this moment, he must have had an inseparable relationship with the great victory in Da Xian Mountain. Although Bian Lingcheng has a bad reputation among the courtiers and officials, at least the knowledge of the soldiers is recognized, and if it is said that he led the great victory of burning the grain and grass of the rebels, no one will doubt his ability to do this.

The officials only sighed now, when they just heard that Bian Lingcheng had lost the edict of the Son of Heaven, people were ready to sit and watch this person be unlucky, how could they have thought that they would return to Beijing with their merits in just one night.

As soon as the hour came, the internal chamberlain announced that the Son of Heaven was uncertain, and Yang Guozhong, as the head of the prime minister, routinely presided over the court meeting. The first thing is to announce the news that has been circulating overnight.

Sure enough, Bian Lingcheng contributed to it. But to everyone's surprise, the first credit is someone else.

"What's that, that Xin'an County Lieutenant again?"

When Qin Jin's name was clearly spit out in Yang Guozhong's mouth, the Jiaotai Hall was buzzing when it was neutral.

"Quiet, quiet!" Yang Guozhong's tone was very dissatisfied, and he spoke two solemnly in a row, not angry and arrogant.

The Jiaotai Hall was quiet. Soon, however, the officials were surprised again. This is because this Xin'an County Lieutenant, who has made successive outstanding military exploits, has already been martyred in the battle of burning grain and grass in the Da Hyeon Mountain fire! Bian Lingcheng, the general of the prison gate, was lucky not to die, so he brought back the news so that the heroic exploits would not be buried.

"The Son of Heaven has an edict, the magistrate of Hongnong County has a meritorious service, and the Ministry of Rites has a name!"
