Juxian County is located fifty miles southwest of Chang'an, which is exactly the entrance to the Meridian Valley, and Li Shi, the son of heaven, fled here to facilitate his escape to Hanzhong, after all, the county seat is too small, and the rebel army is crushed.

Li Shi happened to meet Guo Shu, the former governor of Fengzhou, who returned from hunting, with more than 100 family members, Guo Shu because of the death of his father Guo Ziyi, and resigned to return to Beijing to keep filial piety, these days he was depressed, so he took more than 100 family members to Zhongnan Mountain to hunt, and when he came back, he happened to meet the fleeing Son of Heaven.

Guo Shu was shocked, and hurriedly offered dry food and water, and ordered his subordinates to roast a few prey, Li Shi and his family were hungry and thirsty, and they were able to fill their stomachs when they met Guo Shu.

Guo Shu led his family to escort the Son of Heaven to the south, and arrived at Juxian County at dusk, and the right dragon military envoy Ling Hujian happened to lead more than 1,000 soldiers to practice archery in Juxian County, and Li Shi unexpectedly got an army to escort him, so he felt a little at ease.

The arrival of the Son of Heaven made him in a hurry, and he hurriedly arranged the accommodation of the Son of Heaven and the children of the imperial concubine, and sent people to the capital to inquire about the news.

At this moment, Dugu Qiu and Hun Yang led five thousand Shence troops to arrive, Li Shi was so excited that tears flowed down, and he personally came to the city gate to greet him, and the three armies knelt down and shouted long live!

Li Shi pulled Duqiu to tears and said: "I didn't expect that at the most critical time, Aiqing would never abandon me and come to the rescue!" ”

Dugu Qiu hurriedly reassured Li Shi and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the main thing is that it happened suddenly, and everyone can't react, I believe that reinforcements will come soon." ”

"I have always treated the soldiers well, and I also ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to arrange good wine and meat to treat them, how could they suddenly rebel?"

"Your Majesty, it's not a sudden rebellion, but Zhu Jun has been planning for a long time, and this is a mutiny he planned to launch......."

"Nonsense!"

Next to him, Xiangguo Lu Qi said angrily: "Taiwei Zhu is loyal to the imperial court, and he took the initiative to give up military power before, how can he rebel?" ”

Lu Qi bowed down to Li Shi again and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to guarantee the life of the whole family, Zhu Jun will never betray Your Majesty!" ”

Du Gu Qiu smiled faintly: "Lu Xiangguo doesn't believe my words, then wait and see!" ”

Dugu Qiu and Li Shi didn't expect that Lu Qi said this just to clear himself, he didn't know anything about Zhu Jun's rebellion, he just looked at the wrong person.

Li Shi sighed, and said to Dugu Qiu and Hun Ying: "I want to go south to Hanzhong, what do you think of the two Aiqing?" ”

Hun Yang hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty must not rush south, now that the situation in Chang'an is unclear, it is better to calm down for a while, and wait until the situation is clear." ”

Dugu Qiu also persuaded: "The top priority now is to recruit the king of Qin, the thief army is strong, and there are not enough troops, even if you go to Hanzhong, it will be difficult to support it." ”

"But the war on the battlefield in the Central Plains is fierce, where to recruit the king of Qin?" Li Shi said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, don't care where the army is called, as long as you send an edict to the world, the army loyal to the Tang Dynasty will naturally come."

Li Shi looked at Lu Qi again, Lu Qi knew it, this time he no longer objected, nodded and said: "Weichen supports the king of recruiting soldiers!" ”

Li Shi immediately issued the edict of King Qin, but fortunately, when the queen fled in a panic, she tied the national treasure seal in her skirt, so that Li Shi had the treasure seal and stamped the edict.

Dozens of cavalrymen of the Shence Army rushed to various places with the edict of King Qin on their backs, calling on the king of Qin to rescue the driver.

Guo Song got the news of the Shi family on the third day of the Jingyuan Mutiny, and he rushed to the Shi Mansion with several staff, and Shi Donglai sent more than a dozen pigeon letters to Hexi in one go. Exhausted all the carrier pigeons.

Du Siye was quickly copying the pigeon letter, and after copying one, he handed it to Guo Song.

"Shi Gongzi, how is your father?" Guo Song asked with concern.

Shi Yan hugged his fists and said: "Father is very grateful to the envoy for reminding him in time, on the day he received the pigeon letter, his father transferred his wealth and family to the outside of the city, and the rebel army later rushed into the mansion and only robbed more than 1,000 yuan of money, and none of the family members were harmed. ”

Guo Song waved his hand, "This is just a gesture, the key is that your father trusts me, which is the main reason why he was able to escape." ”

"Envoy, look at this letter!"

Zhang Qianyi handed a pigeon letter to Guo Song, Guo Song took the pigeon letter, only to see that it was written, 'The Son of Heaven has issued an edict to order the king of soldiers and horses in the world!' ’

"Do you want to be a king?" Pan Liao asked next to him.

Guo Song pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "King Qin is righteous, if I don't send troops, I will inevitably be scolded by the world, no matter what, I still have to send troops." ”

Zhang Qianyi said worriedly: "What if we send troops and Tubo and Shatuo invade?" ”

"Shatuo is afraid of Gelulu in the north, so he shouldn't dare to send troops, and Tubo wants to send troops to Anxi and Longyou, but just in case, I will bring some less troops, and it is enough to bring 5,000 cavalry."

Guo Song decided to send troops to King Qin, he returned to the camp, found Liang Wu, and said to him: "After I leave, Ganzhou will entrust it to you, and you must be on guard against the Tubo sneak attack on Dadou Tugu at any time." ”

Liang Wu bowed down and said: "The humble position will never live up to the trust of the king!" ”

.......

At night, his wife Xue Tao silently packed her husband's luggage, Guo Song had very little luggage, only a few clothes to wash and change underwear.

"Don't worry!"

Guo Song took his wife into his arms and said with a smile: "I'll be back in a month at most." ”

"I just don't think it's worth it!"

Xue Tao was dissatisfied: "He is so suspicious of you, and in the end he wants you to rescue him, I feel aggrieved when I think about it." ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't want to save him, I wish he was killed by the rebels, and I would like to set up a new emperor again, but even if I don't want to do some things, I have to pretend, I just go to pretend, besides, my father-in-law is the governor of Chengdu, I pretend, it is also good for him." ”

Xue Tao nodded, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Xiaowei won't let you go." ”

"It's okay! said that Daddy went to Chang'an to buy her something delicious, and that little gluttonous cat must have wished I could go quickly. ”

"You! spoiled her so much, how will she get it in the future. ”

Guo Song smiled, "Lady, let's go to bed early tonight, and we will leave before dawn tomorrow!" ”

Xue Tao knew what her husband was thinking, pinched his arm, and said coquettishly: "It's just dark, and I'm as anxious as a monkey." ”

The husband and wife coaxed the child to sleep, and then closed the door early to rest, and naturally Ah Qiu served the two of them.

The night lingered, and Guo Song was about to set off before dawn.

He walked out of the door and repeatedly told Xiao Yuniang: "The current situation is too chaotic, my enemy is likely to fish in troubled waters, you take Chunyue and the four of them to protect Mrs. tightly, you know?" ”

"Don't worry! I will not slack off. ”

Guo Song summoned Wang Yue again and said to him: "We must strengthen the monitoring of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, if the Hidden Sword Pavilion sends an assassin to come, it will definitely contact that shop, you have to be careful." ”

"The lowly will be deployed, and it will not be careless!"

After explaining to everyone, Guo Song said goodbye to his wife and children, and led a hundred personal soldiers to run out of the city.

5,000 cavalry had assembled outside the city, and Guo Song ordered to raise the banner of King Qin and lead 5,000 cavalry to kill Guanzhong.

.........

On the fourth day of the rebellion, Zhu Jun finally learned that the Son of Heaven Li Shi had fled to Ju County, and he immediately sent Han Min, the deputy envoy of Jingyuan soldiers and horses, to lead 300 cavalry to Ju County to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven, and ordered Wang Lianen to lead 20,000 people to ambush in the middle of the road.

At this time, Zhu Jun was still disguised in Chang'an City, playing the role of the defender of the order of the Tang Dynasty, and wept bitterly and said to the ministers: "Once I know the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, I will definitely crawl over on my knees to greet him." ”

I have to say that Zhu Jun did confuse most of the court officials and the people of Chang'an without showing any ambition.

But there are still court officials who see him through, Si Nongqing Duan Xiushi is one of them, after all, Duan Xiushi has been in Shuofang for many years, has rich experience in commanding the army, he saw that Zhu Jun easily quelled the rebellion of the Jingyuan Army, and the Jingyuan Army respected him from top to bottom, and immediately after the arrival of the 30,000 Fengxiang Army, he also completely obeyed Zhu Jun's orders.

What's more, on the one hand, Zhu Jun desperately advocated his allegiance to the Son of Heaven, but on the other hand, he closed the city gates tightly and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, apparently to block the news.

What's even more shocking is that Zhu Jun actually regarded Xingqing Palace as his own office and official residence, and the palace maids and eunuchs served him as an emperor, which was Emperor Xuanzong's palace, which was an usurpation of imperial power.

When Duan Xiushi heard that Zhu Jun had sent someone to greet the Son of Heaven, he knew that there was a huge conspiracy hidden here, so he immediately sent Qi Lingyue, the old department, to cover him over the city wall and rush to Juxian to report the news.
