The queue of the Southern Tang Army has not yet been arranged, 5,000 Tibetan cavalry came from the rear, the Southern Tang Army was suddenly in chaos, and part of the army formation that had just been lined up was rushed again, at this time, 20,000 Tubo infantry were overwhelmingly killed, they seemed to be scattered, in fact, a team of 100 people, led by a centurion, and all his subordinates followed him.

When the Southern Tang Army was in chaos, 20,000 Tubo troops rushed like a flood and slaughtered into the ranks of the Southern Tang Army, this Tubo Army was not a new soldier, they were all experienced veterans, last year it was they who swept Tianzhu, the will to fight was extremely strong, the killing was fierce, and the physical strength was abundant.

The two armies fought for less than half an hour, the Southern Tang Army was defeated, and gradually began to be unable to support, the Shence Army was slightly better, the treatment was good, and it was well-trained in peacetime, but the Jiannan Army was demoralized, the combat effectiveness was very weak, and they were not willing to fight to the death at all, under the impact of the enemy cavalry, they were the first to collapse, I don't know which team or which soldier fled first, and it was impossible to track down, but the five thousand Jiannan Army deployed on the left flank was the first to be defeated and fled, and they left the war and scattered in all directions.

Driven by the Jiannan Army, the Shence Army also collapsed, the Southern Tang Army was defeated, and only the soldiers who ran wildly were seen in the whole wilderness, they lost their armor, threw away their weapons, and ran for their lives, the Tubo cavalry and infantry pursued and killed behind, and the Tang soldiers fled but did not kneel on the ground and begged, but they were still brutally killed, and their heads were cut off.

In this battle, 20,000 Southern Tang troops were killed more than 15,000 people, the Tubo army did not leave prisoners of war, all killed, only a few thousand people escaped by luck, Wang Qingyang was targeted by the Tubo cavalry, hundreds of people shot him with arrows, and the head was also cut off by the Tubo soldiers.

Shang Dongzan ordered the burning of the corpses of the soldiers of the Southern Tang Army, set fire to the heads, and took more than 15,000 heads to march towards Chengdu.

........

The news of Wang Qingyang's defeat reached Chengdu, and there was a panic in the city, hundreds of people fled outside the city with their families, and several city gates were full of fleeing people, dozens of ox carts and carriages were blocked at the city gates, shouting, scolding, and crying sounded together, and many women and children were squeezed into despair and cried.

The soldiers at the head of the city looked helplessly at the tens of thousands of people under the city, they could not stop it, the city gate could not be closed, and the axle of an ox cart was broken, and it could not move on the suspension bridge, resulting in congestion at the city gate.

A lieutenant general ran along the city wall and shouted: "What's the matter, hurry up and dredge the city gate!" ”

The captain said helplessly: "An ox cart broke down, and we wanted to go down and move out, but we couldn't squeeze it out." ”

"A bunch of fools, won't they use a soft ladder to go down?"

The lieutenant suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly ran to the city tower to get two sets of soft ladders, and everyone hung on the battlements, and dozens of soldiers climbed the soft ladders to go down.

The soldiers worked hard to move the ox carts blocking the road, and the road suddenly became smooth, and the people in the city cave swarmed out, and the horse-drawn carts and ox carts also drove out one after another, and as the flow of people continued to pour out, the dense crowd in the city finally evacuated, and followed slowly outside.

The six city gates of Chengdu are like this, in just one day, more than 200,000 people escaped, mainly to the south and north, of which the north has the largest flow of people, everyone thinks, after the Jianmen Pass it will be safe.

Chengdu's millions of people are still on the run, and even the imperial palace is packing up and preparing to move.

Whether it was Ju Wenzhen, Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang, they all knew in their hearts that the palace was too weak to defend itself against the attack of the Tubo army.

Although there were still 25,000 people in the Shence army, the eunuchs had lost their sense of security, and they had to evacuate.

"What's the matter, it hasn't been cleaned up yet, you guys want to die, it's okay to stay!"

In front of the Cuiwei Hall of the Imperial Palace, Ju Wenzhen pointed to a group of eunuchs and palace maids and scolded, and an old eunuch trembled and said: "Back to the princess, the queen mother doesn't want to leave." ”

"What?"

Ju Wenzhen's eyes widened, and he said viciously: "I can't help her if she can't go!" ”

He turned around and rushed to the queen mother's dormitory angrily, the dormitory was in chaos, there were cages everywhere, the queen mother looked melancholy, commanding a group of palace maids to pack up things, it could be seen that she was very reluctant, she followed the first emperor from Chang'an to Chengdu, it was easy to get used to living in Chengdu, and she was going to flee, she was really sad in her heart.

The queen mother is about forty years old, her face is pale, her physique is thin, it can be seen that she is not in good health, the queen mother was born in the Taiyuan royal family, she is the queen of Dezong, if in terms of generation, now the young emperor is her grandson, she should be the queen mother, but the eunuchs did not have the idea of setting up the queen mother, and still let her take charge of the state affairs in name, and the main reason is that the queen mother has a relatively cowardly and supple personality, and basically obeys the requirements of the eunuchs.

At this time, Ju Wenzhen's stern voice came from the door of the main hall, "Please the Queen Mother hurry up and clean up!" ”

The Queen Mother turned around and saw Ju Wenzhen glaring at her with anger on her face, her eyes lowered, and she asked in a low voice: "Manager Ju, we are leaving, what should we do with the coffin of the first emperor?" ”

The coffin of the first emperor she said does not refer to the poisoned young emperor Li Xiu, but to the former deceased Dezong Li Shi, Li Shi once issued an edict to express his position, he hopes to return to Guanzhong for burial after a hundred years, so his coffin is still stored in the palace Buddhist temple, accompanied by more than a dozen monks chanting scriptures day and night.

Ju Wenzhen said impatiently: "Just leave it here!" Who would be rare for a broken corpse? ”

"You ......"

The Queen Mother was trembling with anger, pointed at Ju Wenzhen and gritted her teeth and said, "He is the first emperor, how can you insult him like this?" ”

If it was in the past, Ju Wenzhen would still pretend, but now that the enemy is now, no one will survive, he has torn his face and unabashedly exposed his original ugly face.

Ju Wenzhen scolded viciously: "If I wasn't too lazy to care, I would simply throw it out to feed the dogs, I finally said, if you want to live, hurry up and clean up, and if you want to serve the Tubo people, stay here!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, the queen mother was so angry that her eyes turned black and she was shaking, and the two palace maids hurriedly supported her, "The queen mother take care!" ”

The Queen Mother sat down on the wooden couch, she shook her head, tears welled up in her eyes, "Can the dignity of the Tang Dynasty be allowed to be wantonly ruined?" ”

At this time, an old eunuch stepped forward and motioned for the two palace maids to go first, and the old eunuch saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the old slave heard a news that the King of Jin led the army to Chengdu." ”

The Queen Mother was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What is he doing in Chengdu?" ”

"Naturally, I came to fight against the Tibetan army, the Shence army is incompetent, if the king of Jin does not lead the army to come, Bashu will be annexed by the Tubo."

"That.... Then tell them quickly, we don't have to go. ”

The old eunuch was shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The queen mother can't help it, if they are known by the princess, they will definitely do everything possible to stop the army of King Jin from going south, but it will cause serious consequences." ”

If the queen mother realized, she glanced at the old eunuch and said lightly [Haitang Library]: "Gonggong Xu, you are the person of King Jin!" ”

The old eunuch hurriedly shook his head, "The old slave is not the person of the King of Jin, the old slave is loyal to the Queen Mother and the first emperor, but the old slave knows where the people of the King of Jin are?" How do I contact them? ”

The Queen Mother was in turmoil, and let out a long sigh, "What should the mourning family do now?" ”

The old eunuch groaned and said, "The old slave has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

"Say it! Ju Wenzhen even said the words of the wild dog, what else can't be said now? ”

The old eunuch looked at both sides again, and lowered his voice again: "Since it is no longer possible to prevent the army of the King of Jin from going south, why don't the Queen Mother be a favor and send a secret edict to the King of Jin, asking him to lead the army south to King Qin, so that he will send troops more justifiably, I believe that he will not treat the Queen Mother badly." ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head and was silent, and the old eunuch urged: "Queen Mother, now is the last chance, if you don't issue a secret edict, it will be too late!" ”

The old eunuch was anxious, so he simply hit the nail on the head and said: "If the Queen Mother doesn't give him favors, how can she ask him to protect the coffin of the first emperor?" ”

This last sentence touched the Queen Mother, who finally nodded, "Okay! The mourning family issued a secret edict. ”

.........

The old eunuch is called Xu Shiqi, and he also followed the first emperor Li Shi south from Chang'an, but he is not a party of Ju Wenzhen and has been ostracized, although he is very old, but he has no power, he can only serve the queen mother, he was finally bought by Yang Xiuying, and became a pawn of the Jin State lurking behind the queen mother.

The Queen Mother took advantage of the chaos in the palace to avoid Ju Wenzhen's ears and eyes, and secretly wrote a secret edict, stamped it with the Queen Mother's seal, and handed it to Xu Shiqi.

Xu Shiqi immediately hid the secret edict close to him, went out to buy things for the queen mother under the pretext of going out, and took advantage of the chaos to get out of the palace.

Chengdu Nancheng Ping'an Inn has closed its doors, the chaos in Chengdu has made the intelligence leader Yang Xiuying extremely busy, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived in Hanzhong, he has to send someone to contact, in addition, he has to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Although Yang Xiuying did not expect that the eunuchs would abandon Chengdu and flee south, he understood very well that Ying Caihe led hundreds of elite scouts to sneak into the harem from the forbidden garden of the palace, and even hundreds of people could enter the palace, not to mention tens of thousands of people attacking, the palace could not be defended at all, so the eunuchs decided to abandon the city and flee south.

At this time, a guy outside the door reported, "Shopkeeper, Gonggong Xu in the palace is here." ”
