Li Yan escaped!

Without notifying the civil and military officials, he took his cronies and the Beiya Forbidden Army and quietly left Chang'an and fled overnight.

There is no leaky wall in this world, Li Yan's identity is the current emperor, no matter how secret, there are thousands of people around him. Such a large team can't hide from the eyes of the world.

Originally, because of all kinds of gossip, the people in Chang'an were panicked, but now the Tang Dynasty has secretly run away, which undoubtedly confirms the authenticity of those "gossips".

Chang'an, panic, chaos......

The news of the Son of Heaven's flight to the west reached Tongguan.

Wang Hui and Du Xian, who were in charge of guarding Tongguan, were completely dumbfounded......

Tongguan is the last line of defense in the pass, and it is the last line of defense for the life and death of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Wang Hui and Du Xian were literati, they did not lack the courage to fight to the death, and had already decided to live and die with Tongguan.

They were literati, eloquent, organized all kinds of speech, and encouraged the morale of the soldiers.

But they couldn't imagine that the object they were desperately guarding would run away like this?

Du Xian suddenly cried out loudly like an abandoned child, forty or fifty people: "What are we doing all this for? ”

Wang Hui was relatively calm, his eyes were crimson, he grabbed Du Xian hard, and said through gritted teeth: "Hold back, hold back, don't make a noise, you can't let the soldiers know, you must not let the soldiers know." ”

His body trembled with anger, he couldn't control the power in his hands, and Du Xian's hands were bruised, and the tears finally couldn't be held back and fell.

**********

Luoyang!

As the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, it is second only to Chang'an, and is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty and Sui and Tang dynasties, and the central hub of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal.

Because of the saturation of Guanzhong, the imperial court spared no effort for the development of Luoyang.

During Li Longji's reign, he set up the capital in Luoyang, which greatly enhanced the status of Luoyang. At the same time, he also went to Luoyang from time to time to live temporarily and deal with the world's government affairs in Luoyang.

Therefore, there is also a huge palace in Luoyang City, which was left over from Wu Zhou and rebuilt.

However, now the Luoyang Palace has changed hands, although Zhang Kang did not call the emperor a great rebellion, but he also lived in the palace generously and enjoyed the life of the emperor.

Sitting high on the dragon chair, Zhang Kang was not too happy, but frowned, and then thought about how to conquer Tongguan.

Their strength has expanded too quickly, and Zhang Kang, as a generation of heroes and the number one person, has seen the hidden dangers he is facing.

The strength expands too quickly and lacks stability, which is the biggest problem he faces.

It is okay to have a smooth sail, but once it encounters disadvantages and setbacks, the military will face huge problems in morale.

Zhang Kang has always known who his biggest rival is, and after losing Li Yi, there is only Pei Min as an opponent in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min is the most feared existence in his heart, once Pei Min comes back to help, he can't defeat him, and he will fall into a dilemma.

"Tongguan must be taken!"

Zhang Kang banged the table in front of him and said loudly: "We must take Tongguan before Pei Min comes to help." As long as Tongguan is controlled, Pei Min can be kept out of Tongguan with the help of the danger of Tongguan. It can comfortably sit in the Central Plains of Hebei Province to develop and recuperate. ”

Zhang Kang's words were exchanged for a period of silence.

Tongguan natural insurance, everyone knows.

Throughout the ages, Tongguan is a place where soldiers must fight, known as the reputation of "the first pass", ranking in the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, choking the key to the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang, and is the key to entering and exiting the three Qin.

Wang Hui and Du Xian, the two prime ministers of the Tang Army, gathered troops to defend Tongguan, and dense strong bows and crossbows were erected on Tongguan.

Attacking Tongguan is easier said than done.

Zhang Kang had a violent temper and was about to get angry, Li Zhu'er nervously walked in through the side door, came to the front of the hall, and handed Zhang Kang a secret letter.

Zhang Kang took the secret letter, read the content of the letter, looked strange, was stunned for a while, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and waved his hand for a while: "You go out first, gentlemen all stay......"

drove away the generals under his command, and only five people remained in the huge hall of the great hall, including Tun Desire Valley, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, Sun Xiaozhe, Gao Miao, and He Qianqian.

Zhang Kang swept through the north and conquered Luoyang, with great momentum. In today's world, there are loyal and brave civil and military heroes, and naturally there are also groveling villains.

In addition to Lust Valley and Yan Zhuang, Zhang Kang also had several advisors under Zhang Kang, including Gao Shang, Sun Xiaozhe, Gao Miao, and He Qianqian.

Although these people have bad character and bad morals, they have real talents and learning, and they have good strategies.

"A few gentlemen, this is the news you just got, can you see if it's true or not?"

Zhang Kang circulated the secret letter.

The first thing to see was naturally the mastermind of the valley of desire, and he was overjoyed when he saw the secret letter and said: "Great, the fruit of the Venerable Lord can be blessed by God, and Tongguan can be obtained at your fingertips." ”

And he saw that the secret letter was passed on.

The rest of the people were also overjoyed when they saw the letter.

The secret letter came from their secret post in Chang'an: in order to confuse the hearts of the enemy's troops, noble plans spread rumors in the Tang Dynasty and disturbed the hearts of the enemy's troops.

In order to spread rumors, Zhang Kang spent a lot of money to let Gao Shang form an intelligence force to investigate the truth and truth in Gyeonggi.

Zhang Kang hesitated: "There won't be a fake?" ”

The noble and intelligent is not inferior to the valley of desire and solemnity, and said: "Back to the Lord, there can be no deception in this matter. No one dared to design such a thing as the Son of Heaven's escape, and no one dared to fabricate such rumors that would damage the prestige of the Son of Heaven. Since this incident has been reported, it is enough to prove that this matter is true. ”

Zhang Kang frowned and said, "I also understand this truth, but ...... Don't hide it from a few gentlemen, I'm like a dream after beating it all the way. In Changshan before, Li Yi's old man was really not his opponent. I was ready to flee north, but he went out of the city to meet him as if he was looking for death, and gave us a victory in vain. Then there is the Yellow River, our army is not accustomed to water warfare, and that Wang Hui relied on the Yangtze River moat to kill more than 10,000 soldiers of our army. Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, freezing the Yellow River, so that our army can cross calmly. What I was most afraid of was that the Tang army retreated in Luoyang, but instead of shrinking in Luoyang, they also transferred Luoyang's soldiers and horses to the edge of the Yellow River, so that we could easily take Luoyang ......"

"And this time, Tongguan is really difficult to attack, Wang Hui and Du Xianam, the two bastards, have some rules and regulations with soldiers, and I really don't have a good way to take Tongguan. The other party's son of heaven ran away again? At the most critical moment, victory came to the door inexplicably. In my heart, I am a little unsure, the opponent is obviously not weak, but we win too easily. ”

Zhang Kang's heartfelt words made the five advisors also look at each other, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Tunyugu coughed and said, "Our opponent has cooperated well. This victory sent to the door, does the Venerable One have to give up? ”

"Phew!" Zhang Kang spat rudely and said: "If you have a advantage, you are a bastard, and you will immediately send troops to attack Tongguan for me." ”
