"How's the Southwest Army?"

"Defend the Southwest City!"

In the imperial study, Emperor Tang stared at Zhao Han, the secretary of the military department, and asked nervously, the reason why he ordered Beichen to stay in Chang'an for two days was to pay attention to the movements of the southwest army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, his eyes and ears have long supervised Beichen, and if the southwest army dares to plot against him, then Beichen will be the first to be executed.

It's just that to the surprise of Emperor Tang, the southwest army is still guarding the southwest city in the face of the Fanbang army, and there is no intention of fighting back, Tang Huang nodded, and felt a lot more at ease.

Seeing this, Zhao Han hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the heart of Beichen, the king of the southwest, is already Sima Zhao's heart and everyone knows it, if he wants to return to the southwest, it will inevitably cause a big disaster!" ”

Emperor Tang looked at the anti-poem on the dragon case, and asked instead of answering: "Zhao Han, let me ask you, if the king of the southwest fights with several countries, what is the chance of victory?" And how many casualties will there be? ”

Although Zhao Han hated Beichen, he still said truthfully: "Although the king of the southwest is a rebel, he is a genius in the sky, and if he leads an army of 300,000 to resist, he has a forty percent chance of winning!" ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Han muttered: "Even if the king of the southwest wins, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory, after all, nearly a million troops are coming, if it is a torrent, it can be won without strategy." ”

"Let them fight first, and when the winner is decided, my 800,000 army will clean up the battlefield!"

Hearing the words of the emperor's Top Gun, Zhao Han frowned and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, if the king of the southwest returns to the southwest, he will join forces with Fanbang to defeat the Tang ......."

"They can't unite!"

Emperor Tang smiled meaningfully and said softly: "Do you say that the henchmen of the several major states are the king of the southwest, or me?" If Beichen rebels, he will inevitably be hit by the back, so he has only one way to go, and that is to fight against the Fanbang army. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Zhao Han was convinced at this time, and now he finally understood why Emperor Tang didn't kill Beichen, it turned out that he had ulterior motives.

Beichen and his entourage gathered in the post house, but at the moment it was good to eat, drink and entertain, not in a hurry at all, at this time, Zhao Han, the secretary of the military department, suddenly walked in, and smiled when he saw Beichen.

"Weichen, salute the prince!"

This time, Zhao Han was extremely cautious, first gave Beichen a big salute, and then said respectfully: "Lord Wang, I don't know where the child is, this fashion is good?" ”

Beichen put down the chicken leg and stared at Zhao Han very kindly: "Where is Lord Zhao, Brother Zhao Gang is fine, I came to Datang this time, in addition to meeting the saint, I brought Brother Zhao Gang back." ”

"Oh......"

Hearing Beichen's incomparably kind words, Zhao Han was stunned, and wondered in his heart, is this still the king of the southwest who is known as the "God of Killing"? took the initiative to send the child back, no matter how you hear it, it feels wrong.

Seeing Zhao Han's vigilant appearance, Beichen grinned and said, "Come on, bring Zhao Gang's eldest brother out and let Lord Zhao Han take him home!" ”

"Yes!"

A soldier replied, hurriedly retreated, and after a short time he brought up a person, seeing this person, everyone couldn't help laughing, Beichen looked back strangely, took the tea in the mouth and squirted out instantly.

I saw that the person with me was skinny, weak, and couldn't help the wind, and in a pair of eyes, the gods were all worn away, and the most critical point was that it was too dark, black and briquettes.

Beichen frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "I asked you to bring Lord Zhao Gang, who are you carrying?" ”

The soldier behind the black man bowed and replied, "Lord Hui, this person is Lord Zhao Gang, didn't you say that you should let Lord Zhao Gang build the southwest that day?" There is a black carbon mine just in the southwest......"

"Poof......

Hearing this, Beichen still couldn't hold back his laughter, no wonder he hadn't seen this Zhao Gang for a while, it turned out that he had gone to dig coal, and the people around him looked at Zhao Gang who was not slipping in the dark, and they all laughed.

Only Zhao Han, with a calm face, pulled up his son and walked out of the door without saying a word, but at this time, Zhao Gang, who saw his father, was extremely excited, and shouted in his mouth: "Dad, let someone help me dig charcoal......"

"Brother, drink a lot of wine and eat meat, and you can set sail back to the southwest tomorrow!"

Beichen stood up and spoke heroically to the soldiers around him, but at this time, Mu Wantong beside him frowned slightly, and whispered in Beichen's ear: "Husband, can we go back now?" ”

"How?" Beichen's face was shocked, and his eyes flashed.

Mu Wantong looked at Beichen, shook her head and said: "I don't think this vassal country is coming to attack the Tang Dynasty, but it seems to be coming to deal with you, back to Yanyu City, there is an enemy army of the vassal country in front of you, and a Tang army in the back, you will suffer from the enemy on your back." ”

Beichen looked surprised, and after a few breaths, he stretched out his hand and touched Mu Wantong's Qiongqiong jade nose, and smiled: "My wife is not only beautiful, but also very smart." ”

"Do you still have the heart to joke?"

Mu Wantong rolled her eyes and sighed helplessly: "Your army is all south of Qicheng and north of the Tianshan Mountains, can you still laugh?" ”

"Mountain people have their own tricks...... Beichen smiled, not in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Beichen led his subordinates to leave, and Emperor Tang didn't care about him anymore, but halfway through, Beichen suddenly lifted the curtain and said: "I won't go back to the southwest first, I want to take my wife to tour the mountains and rivers first, you go back first." ”

"Not going back to the Southwest?" The three thousand soldiers were stunned, but as subordinates, they didn't dare to ask more, leaving only eight or nine generals, and the rest rode to the southwest.

"Husband, aren't we going back to the southwest?" Mu Wantong frowned slightly, unable to figure out why Beichen stopped halfway.

"If we don't go back to the southwest, let's go to Fanyang in the north!"

Beichen gritted his teeth, his eyes stared straight at the north, Emperor Tang expected that he would try his best to be poor, yes, he was trying his best to be poor, but Emperor Tang ignored some things, some small things that he couldn't care about at all.

And Beichen didn't know that in the Jinluan Palace in the early morning at this time, Zhao Han knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, when the king of the southwest returns to the southwest, it will be a big disaster, so you need to make plans as soon as possible!" ”

"Your Majesty, the armies of several southwestern countries are coming, we must send troops to support quickly, otherwise our lips will be cold!"

"Lord Wu is right, once Yanyu City is lost, Qicheng is also in danger!"

Countless old ministers opened their mouths to persuade each other, but Emperor Tang made it clear that he wanted Beichen and the vassal country to fight to the death, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman, how could he send reinforcements, he waved his hand and said lightly: "The king of the southwest is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely be able to stabilize the frontier, no need to say more!" ”

"Report!"

At this time, the border guards sent a hundred thousand urgent battle reports, and a soldier rushed into the main hall, knelt on the ground and said coldly: "Your Majesty, the 300,000 troops in the southwest have collectively rebelled, and now they have sent troops to Qicheng!" ”

"What did you say?" Tang Huang's eyes widened, and he stood up with a thud.

"The thirty armies in the southwest have collectively rebelled, and now they have sent troops to Qicheng!"

Tang Huang's pupils constricted, his face turned extremely pale for a moment, he shook his head and muttered, "How is this possible?" How can it be? Didn't the vassal army catch up? ”

The soldier who delivered the letter said without thinking: "The enemy army of the 800,000 vassal kingdoms is following behind the southwest army, and there is no intention of fighting!" ”

As soon as his breath stagnated, Emperor Tang's eyes were torn apart, and after a few breaths, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly shouted towards the Jinluan Palace: "What about Beichen, the king of the southwest?" ”

Zhao Han's scalp was numb, and he knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Beichen, King of the Southwest, half a day ago...... It's gone! ”

"Send someone to chase after you!"

Emperor Tang's body was cold at this time, he remembered his 800,000 army, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say: "Pass the order, the 800,000 army will immediately support the southwest and defend Qicheng!" ”

But Emperor Tang probably couldn't imagine what a wrong decision he made to transfer 800,000 troops to support the southwest.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (December 16, 755 AD), the Anshi Rebellion, which has been passed down through the ages, broke out!
