The prosperous land of Guanzhong is full of ruins and broken walls, thousands of miles of fertile fields can not even find a few places, the closer to the former capital of Chang'an, the people who are suppressed by the cold breath of slaughter. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info one person and one horse climb the high slope, look into the distance, the wasteland is vast, and the wind is like a knife. As far as the eye can see, the black flags are fluttering, it is by no means the best battle flag, and a group of black shadows in the distance are extremely fast from far to near, and one person and one horse immediately went down the high slope.

Immediately, the knight gasped for breath and put his hands together to his mouth to warm up to relieve the numbness after freezing.

Skillfully avoiding the Yan army rangers, one person and one horse did not dare to take Guanzhong Avenue again, and turned south and went straight to the direction of Lishan. However, he obviously underestimated the Yan army rangers, and dozens of war horses suddenly appeared from north to south, and one person and one horse were completely exposed to the Yan army rangers' field of vision.

"Spies, spies!"

"Catch him!"

"Shoot him!"

The sound of shouting was getting closer and closer, and the man and the horse were shocked, and accelerated to the southwest, if they escaped into the forest before the arrival of the Yan army rangers, there might still be a glimmer of life, otherwise it would be difficult to escape.

The chasing soldiers behind him said that there was a lot of cat and mouse, and what they said was all in the Guanzhong dialect, and immediately the knights gritted their steel teeth, knowing that they were all locals who surrendered to An Lushan.

Suddenly, the pursuers suddenly divided into two wings, the left and right wings, outflanked the past, and when they saw it, they caught up with the man and the horse. However, no matter how the knight urged the horse to accelerate, the horsepower was consumed too much, and the speed was getting slower and slower.

Feathered arrows whizzed, grazing past the knight's side one after another, and several times they were almost missed.

"Don't shoot arrows, if you catch it, send it back to the captain for a heavy reward!"

Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the knight immediately pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and even if he died immediately, he resolutely refused to be a prisoner of these traitors, and the soldiers could be killed but not humiliated!

The feather arrow was fired again, and the knight's intuition was full of the sound of breaking the air, and when he reacted, he realized that it was the pursuers who screamed again and again, and when he looked back, he saw that dozens of horsemen were actually shot on their backs.

From west to east, another group of cavalry rolled in.

"It's Tang Jun, **......"

Most of the rangers near Chang'an are newly attached to the army, which turned out to be the old Tang army, and its combat effectiveness was already rotten to the extreme.

Immediately, the knight looked back at the flaming Tang Army battle flag and couldn't help but burst into tears. At that time, most of the world's ** flags were earthy yellow, and only the battle flags of the Shenwu Army were bright red.

"Qinghe Li Cao thanked him for saving his life!"

"Thank you! The one who was chased and killed by these dogs must be a righteous man, and if I saved a righteous soldier, I will have another help in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Cao didn't realize until this time that the person who had the grace to save his life was actually a general, and his rank was not low, which can be seen from the flag behind him.

He rolled over from his horse and landed on the ground, giving him a deep bow at the general on his horse.

"Don't thank you, dare to ask the general's name!"

The general smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, and Li Cao suddenly felt in his heart, after the second famous family.

"A certain is the king of the Shenwu Army, where are the righteous people going?"

"Ashamed! Emperor Taishang Xijiao, when Chang'an was in turmoil, a certain also escaped with the chaotic people, and now I heard that the crown prince ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, calling on the people of the world to do their best to be the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, so I returned and did my best!"

Wang Ji smiled again.

"Jun Zhen is worthy of a righteous man, and he dares to come to Chang'an in this Longtan Tiger's Den alone, but the gates of Chang'an have been surrounded by rebels, and it takes a lot of trouble to enter the city. ”

After hearing this, Li Cao exclaimed:

"How's that okay?"

Wang Ji said again:

"Righteous soldiers don't have to worry, the circumference of Chang'an City is more than 70 miles, even if there are 200,000 rebels, it is difficult to surround them, find a weak place and hang it in a basket to enter the city!"

"That's great, may I ask if Qin Envoy Jun is in Chang'an City?"

"Naturally, in the city, listen to the tone of the righteous man like the old knowledge of the general?"

Li Cao shook his head in shame.

"The old acquaintance is not counted, but I only had a one-sided relationship in Xin'an. Later, when I came to Chang'an, although I have been friends for a long time, I didn't have the opportunity to see it!"

Wang Ji's face was surprised.

"Xin'an?"

Xin'an is the birthplace of Qin Jin, and being able to meet Qin Jin when he was in Xin'an has never been a simple person. Wang Jiden was in awe.

"This is not a place to stay for a long time, the rebels will return later to retaliate, and the righteous man also asked to get on the horse and leave with Wang as soon as possible!"

Li Cao got on the horse and followed Wang Qi away. As he galloped his horse, he observed Wang Ji and his deployment. I thought there would be a large group of people, but I didn't want to have more than 100 cavalry, because they didn't have many people, or was there another reason?

This Li Cao is the Li Cao who called the door under Xin'an City and rode alone from Beizhou to Chang'an to deliver a letter. It's just that after Li Cao arrived in Chang'an, he was left in Chang'an by Yang Guozhong in the name of Aicai, but the good luck only ended here.

Nervous along the way, for fear that Wang Qi's more than 100 people were caught by the rebels, but although they were few, but they were very flexible, when they encountered a small group of horses, they swarmed up and annihilated, and if the horses that were close to the left found the whereabouts of a large group of rebels, they would dodge in time, so that the rebels could not catch up.

In addition, they also encountered three or four Shenwu armies on the road, which were also only 100 people.

Li Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the reason when he stopped halfway to accumulate horsepower.

Wang Ji laughed when he heard this.

"The righteous man laughed, there are few Shenwu soldiers, if they are gathered together, not only the target is huge, but also the movement is slow, and it is easy to be bitten by the rebels. In this way, with a team of 100 people, they can scout and harass in the cracks of the rebels everywhere, and they will come and go like the wind, and the rebels can only stare at them without curses!"

After listening to this explanation, Li Cao was stunned, and then admired the courage and recklessness of these people.

"The general is a true righteous man who risks his life for the country!"

Wang Ji was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand with a smile.

"The righteous man praises falsely. People like you, who know that Guanzhong is a tiger's den in Longtan, and come to vote alone, are truly righteous people. ”

It turned out that Wang Ji had saved hundreds of people from the Yan army on the road leading from Lishan to Chang'an. When Li Cao heard that there was such an endless stream of people rushing to defect, he couldn't help but cry with emotion.

"If people's hearts don't die, my Tang Dynasty can die!"

Wang Ji has also seen a lot of righteous people like Li Cao who love to cry noses, so he habitually comforted:

"Of course, the Tang Dynasty can't die, on the day the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the Shenwu Army inflicted heavy losses on the rebels with strange tricks, and even Sun Xiaozhe was seriously injured. Only cheapened the Khitannu, and escaped with his life!"

Li Cao was stunned by his words, he always thought that Chang'an would have a hard time under the siege of the rebels, and he never imagined that he would fight such a beautiful battle. However, his mood immediately became heavy again, now it has been a month since the new emperor ascended the throne, even if the Shenwu army unexpectedly won a few battles, I am afraid that under the long-term confrontation, the disadvantage will definitely be worse than one day!

"The righteous man gets up, the horsepower savings are enough, Wang will escort you to Chang'an!"

About an hour later, when the sky was getting dark, Wang Ji ordered the hooves of all the horses to be wrapped in linen, and the horses were stuffed with chewing iron, and the group stopped suddenly for a while.

"Righteous man, Chang'an has arrived!"

Only then did Li Cao look carefully into the dark void, and saw that there was a faint city wall rising from the ground in the darkness, towering into the clouds!

The people of the city obviously knew the king, and after asking and answering a few words, they hung a basket with a rope and went down.

"Let the righteous enter the city in this basket!"

Li Cao found that Wang Ji and the others seemed to be planning to leave, so he asked:

"Won't the general enter the city?"

Wang Ji smiled coolly:

"Wang's troops are outside the city, dealing with the rebels day and night, how can Wang enter the city alone?"

Faced with such an answer, Li Cao was speechless for a while, and only stepped into the basket with a deep respect.

The basket was only a cup of tea to be hoisted into the city, but for Li Cao, it seemed to have spent a long year.

After entering the city, a special person was waiting for him to register his name, official history, and familiar people in the city who could prove his identity.

Li Cao also had a lot of colleagues in Chang'an, but most of them had disappeared without a trace, and he didn't want to mention people related to the Shenwu Army, but now he had to mention that he knew Chen Qianli. However, after the Shenwu army heard Chen Qianli's name, their attitude towards him became colder, and they said that Chen Qianli was not in Chang'an.

In desperation, he had no choice but to mention that he and Qin Jin had known each other in Xin'an, and Qin Jin could prove his identity.

This little official who said that the law was in charge of registration was stunned, since this person knew Chen Qianli and Qin Jin at the same time, he must be Qin Jin's old acquaintance. Although the entire Shenwu Army had a very bad sense of Chen Qianli, they all knew the relationship between Qin and Chen.

The little official didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly reported, and then invited Li Cao into the house under the city to rest. Li Cao found that half of these houses were lit, and it was obvious that there should be a lot of people living like herself, waiting to be identified.

In less than half an hour, I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, followed by a rapid knock on the door. Li Cao opened the door, but saw that the little official who had registered for him before had an inexplicable look of surprise on his face, and he even spoke a little incoherently.

"Jun is right, the Imperial Doctor is here in person...... Please go with the little official to the door to greet the Imperial Doctor......"

"Doctor Goshi?"

Li Cao suddenly felt inexplicable, it was Qin Jin who he was asking to see, and it was Qin Jin who could prove his identity, how did he come to a royal doctor? But in an instant, he seemed to understand.

"Doctor Yu Shi is Qin Jin?"

The subordinate hurriedly said:

"Oh, I don't dare to call Dr. Yu Shi by his first name. You guessed right, the Son of Heaven ascended the throne and crowned the Imperial Doctor!"

The promotion of this official from the county prince to the imperial historian is naturally a big leap in the officialdom, but Li Cao feels that with Qin Jin's merits and ability alone, I am afraid that even if he enters the political affairs hall to worship the prime minister, it is more than enough!
