June 19, cloudy, Tongguan.

Zhang Tongru, Tian Qianzhen, and An Shouzhong withdrew from Chang'an and came to this thousand-year-old pass standing in the east and west fortresses.

Zhang Tongru, the most important general in An Lushan, stood at the head of the city, fanning the wind hard, and the sultry heat before the wind and rain came, made him a little unbearable.

Looking at the soldiers who entered the customs from time to time, Zhang Tongru frowned and said, "How many soldiers and horses have not returned?" ”

Tian Qianzhen said: "I can't say for sure, a group of barbarians who have never seen the world, in order to seek wealth, where can they still take care of their lives, and I don't know how much they swallowed for Tang Jun." ”

Zhang Tongru scolded: "All of them don't want to die? Give them another day, and after a day, let those insatiable fools wait outside the gate to die. ”

An Shouzhong's face was a little displeased.

Zhang Kang's Hu Han is mixed, and the Hu Han's lifestyle is different, and there are inevitably differences.

An Shouzhong, as Zhang Kang's clansman, is also a barbarian in Tian Qianzhen's mouth, and said dissatisfiedly: "That's not because we are not allowed to plunder Chang'an, and we have to take the near wealth without taking it, but because we have to take it away." ”

Zhang Tongru sneered in his heart, but he didn't want to offend his boss's brother, and said: "This is the Lord's order. ”

Tian Qianzhen also looked down on An Shouzhong, and secretly laughed at his ignorance.

They kept Chang'an and did not loot, and the Tang army did not resist when they came to attack, which had their own deep intentions.

At the beginning, Zhang Kang and Mosley Massa agreed to divide the Tang Dynasty.

The two sides sent troops together, one east and one west.

Arabia took the Western Regions, Longyou, Hexi, and Guanzhong, while Zhang Kang took the land north of Tongguan.

Therefore, Zhang Kang's mobilization of troops this time did not mean to take Chang'an at all. He just planned to occupy Tongguan and hold the first fortress in the world.

It's just that the Li Tang royal family couldn't afford to be scared and abandoned Chang'an and ran away.

This is the imperial city that is sent to the door, it is not taken for nothing.

Zhang Kang sent someone to take the money and grain from the treasury of Chang'an Mansion, and in order to avoid causing discomfort to his future neighbors, he specially ordered that the people of Chang'an should not be moved.

Zhang Kang didn't want Chang'an, so naturally he wouldn't waste troops to defend for Chang'an.

Of course, there is a deeper purpose, Zhang Kang intends to divide the Tang court into two.

If the West's Mosley Massa defeats Pei Min, this result is the best.

Arabia can't swallow the Tang Dynasty in one go, and after taking the Western Regions, Longyou, Hexi, and Guanzhong, they will be at peace with each other for a long time, and naturally have enough time to pacify the north and advance into the south of the Yangtze River.

But Zhang Kang thought about it, what if Pei Min wins?

Pei Min is an auxiliary minister, representing the righteousness and the will of the people......

Leaving Chang'an to Li Heng was to create a buffer zone. Let Pei Min and Li Heng fight each other, and reap the benefits by himself.

Zhang Tongru was reluctant to talk about this detail with An Shouzhong.

An Shouzhong heard Zhang Tongru carry out Zhang Kang, and he didn't dare to say any more.

At this time, the wild geese in the sky swept by, and it was the news from Chang'an, and the news was only a short sentence: "Pei Min appeared in Chang'an."

This short sentence made Zhang Tongru, Tian Qianzhen, and even An Shouzhong very frightened.

Zhang Tongru, as the head of the three generals, took the lead and said: "Quick, immediately ask the lord for help, just say that Pei Min has reached Chang'an, and Tongguan is not enough." Let him allocate thirty thousand, no, fifty thousand, at once...... Wait, don't talk about the specific numbers, the more reinforcements, the better. ”

Listening to Pei Min alone, Zhang Tongru is already like a great enemy.

At this moment, suddenly there was a "boom" sound in the middle of the day, and the violent fire illuminated the gray weather like noon in a scorching summer.

Everyone looked up in shock, only to see that the nearest northwest watchtower was blazing, and the entire watchtower had turned into a big torch!

Suddenly there was a sound of murder in the city!

Hearing the voice getting closer and closer, Zhang Tongru shouted: "Don't panic! General Tian, go and check the situation; General An, you hurry up and mobilize troops and horses to meet the enemy! ”

**********

The Hui cavalry marched all the way north to Tongguan.

Guli Peiluo left Chang'an for more than thirty miles, and only then did he put away his panic, let out a long breath, and his brows furrowed again.

In fact, he felt that Li Wan's words were reasonable, they were good at riding and shooting, invincible in the field, and their siege ability was really average. Not to mention a dangerous pass like Tongguan, even an ordinary city can't gnaw it.

It's just that in that situation, he really didn't have the courage to disobey Pei Min's order.

It wasn't until he was far away from Chang'an that Guli Peiluo dared to stop and think about this problem.

"Did he want me to die? Borrow the sword of the rebels and kill us? ”

Guli Peiluo's heart is heavy, if it is really like this, but it is time to play with eggs.

On the grassland, he still has the courage to fight Pei Min, but now in the hinterland of this pass, he doesn't even have the idea of confrontation.

"Damn Li Heng, it hurt Lao Tzu to fall to this point."

Guli Pei Luo didn't dare to blame Pei Min, and vented his anger to Li Heng in Lingwu.

Just when Pei Luo was wandering, he rode in the distance and said loudly: "In Xia Zhanru, Pei Shuai asked Prince Pei Luo to go to Tongguan immediately." Pei Shuai said that the prince didn't know what to do now, and he didn't need to think about it, but when he arrived at Tongguan, he knew what to do. And also...... The one with a white scarf on his hand is his own ......"

Guli Peiluo looked at the person in surprise, and when he got to this point, he had no choice, and gave the order to march in a loud voice.

When Guli Peiluo arrived at the city of Tongguan, Tongguan happened to be full of smoke.

Guli Peiluo has been fighting for a long time, but I don't know why? The order to attack was given directly.

Tongguan Prison!

Zhang Jiuling, Song Jing, and Wei Jiansu took the throne and talked to the temple officials in prison.

Zhang Jiuling listened to the shouts outside, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that our death is not far away!" ”

Song Jing laughed three times and said, "Being able to hear such a pleasant killing sound, even if it is death, it is worth it. ”

Wei Jiansu shook his head and said: "I am not, when Master Wang returned, he was awarded the head at a young age, and he couldn't see it with his own eyes, which is a big pity." ”

Li Yan abandoned Chang'an and fled.

Knowing that the emperor had fled, many civil and military ministers in Chang'an chose to flee Chang'an.

Under the slogan of following the imperial court, they fled with righteousness.

Zhang Jiuling, Song Jing, and Wei Jiansu did not choose to flee, but stood up at a critical time, tried their best to stabilize the situation in Chang'an, organized resistance, and defended Chang'an, the last face of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Gongsun Xi knew that Zhang Jiuling was Pei Min's person, and before breaking the city, he specially looked for Zhang Jiuling, intending to protect him with the power of the Qingyu League like He Zhizhang.

Zhang Jiuling decisively refused, and decided to live and die with Song Jing and Wei Jiansu, loyal ministers.

It's just that the defenders of Chang'an mutinied, and Zhang Jiuling, Song Jing, and Wei Jiansu were captured by the rebels and imprisoned in Chang'an.

As the rebels withdrew to Tongguan, the three were also tied back to Tongguan.

The shouting of killing means that the king has returned, and as captives, they will not survive to the end.

I only heard a "boom", and the two gates of the prison fell flat.

Immediately, countless bright and dangling helmets rushed in with a "hula" sound.

The three of them could clearly see that the leader was none other than Li Guiren, the general of the Wuwei who betrayed their rebels who sacrificed the city.
