Lingzhou Li Heng gathered his ministers in Zhang Yun's Yongning Palace, and his face was extremely gloomy.

"Your Majesty, the Tubo people rebelled and led their troops to invade our border again, and the defenders of Liangning Prefecture were defeated at the foot of Jishi Mountain, with heavy casualties, and now half of them retreated to the Shaliu River, and half fled back to Hezhou!"

Sun Liang, the secretary of the military department, reported the battle situation with some trepidation, and did not dare to face Li Heng's angry eyes.

Li Guangbi slammed the table and said angrily, "How can this be? Lee Kwang-pil! ，”

"The minister is here! , Li Guangbi's face was very ugly, and he knelt on the ground when he went out of class.

"Tell me, aren't the tens of thousands of troops under your command claiming to be invincible in battles against Tibet? How could they not withstand the attack of the remnants of the Tibetan army, and they would be defeated in a battle! You have something to say to me! , Li Heng glared at Li Guangbi angrily.

There is no need to mention the grievance and depression in Li Guangbi's heart.

He never imagined that the Tubo people would suddenly attack Tuyuhun's hometown under such circumstances, and his deputy general Ling Lan couldn't stop the Tubo army and horses, not only defeated, but also fled back to Hezhou, giving up the entire Tuyuhun hometown to the Tubo people.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not in Liangning Prefecture, I don't know the specific battle situation, please rest assured, the minister will rush to Hezhou, and once again the whole army will fight with the Tubo people, if the minister can't regain the lost territory, he will die on the battlefield to repay His Majesty's imperial grace!" ，”

Li Guangbi gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Li Heng's expression eased, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly heard Yang Guozhong sneer and say, "Your Majesty, the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the King of Pingbo County have suffered heavy losses, and the whole army will counterattack Tubo again. ，”

"It is imperative to ask Your Majesty to order Yang Lian to lead the army to guard the Shaliu River and the Qinghai line, and Bo Qinghai will not be lost. And the remaining military horses can guard Hezhou to prevent the Tubo people from advancing eastward. ，

Li Guangbi was greatly dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong's words, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Yang Xiang's words, Guangbi dare not agree. Could it be that Tuyuhun squid has given up? ,,""It's been lost, what are you shouting about?" Could it be that Liangning Prefecture is lost in its original state? , Yang Guozhong glanced at Li Guangbi with some disdain and said mockingly.

Li Guangbi was furious, but he couldn't say a word.

He blushed and turned to look at the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yang Xiang's words are reasonable. The top priority at the moment is to guard the border as the first priority.

As for Tuyuhun's hometown ·, you can slowly draw it. ," Gongsun Liang said in a low voice, considering the words.

"Your Majesty, Shi Siming, the general under An Lushan, has led an army of 50,000 to bypass Hedong to attack Lingzhou

Yang Guozhong clenched his fists and said loudly.

Li Heng's face became even more ugly.

He originally thought that Lingzhou was the safest rear, but unexpectedly, overnight, the situation was reversed÷ the Tibetan people were in rebellion, and the rebels actually bypassed Hedong to attack Lingzhou, which clearly wanted to capture him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

"Where are the defenders of Hedong? These wine bags and rice bags of Dai Lu in the white food court, I will kill them all! , Li Heng stood up angrily and waved his arms.

"Where are Shi Siming's rebels now? , Li Heng roared for a long time and gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty, it is more than 100 miles away from Shuofang. It seems that the rebels want to take Xiazhou first, and then invade Lingzhou! , Gongsun Liang, as the military chief of the imperial court, had to tell the truth.

Li Heng's face suddenly turned pale.

It's almost time to Shuofang, so to speak, if the rebels take Xiazhou, and then the whole army rushes to Lingzhou, they can arrive within half a month!

Lingzhou is in danger.

Li Heng wanted to escape again.

He sat on the dragon chair with a puff, and said in a somewhat weak trembling voice, "'Quickly order Zhang UDN's army to return to Shiqin King, return to Shiqin King, and block the rebels!" ，

Yang Guozhong sneered in his heart, but said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yun's army is guarding Tongguan to resist the main force of An Lushan's rebels, and I am afraid that the whip will be out of reach at this moment. ，

Yang Guozhong has something that he is embarrassed to say, "Let's continue to escape, now it seems that it is safer to flee back to Chang'an." ，

Li Heng was speechless.

Gongsun Liang hesitated for a moment at this time, then bowed down and said softly, "Your Majesty, recently the minister heard that Zhang Udn was seriously ill and took the initiative to ask His Majesty to retire, I don't know if it's true or not

As soon as Gongsun Liang said this, Yang Guozhong's face became very exciting.

The fact that Zhang UDN was forced by the emperor to resign and retire has already spread widely, but the emperor is still inexplicable here.

Li Heng waved his hand angrily! "Nonsense! Sling the bull! Quickly spread the edict that no matter whether he is really sick or fake, he must not leave his post without permission. If you lose Tongguan, I want his head! ，”

Li Heng was a little speechless, and even exploded

foul language, a big loss of the emperor's dignity.

Li Heng Huoran got up and said loudly, "Spread my will, order Yang Lian to lead the army to defend the Longshuo border, defend against Tibet, and not let the Tibetans invade my territory for half a step!" At the same time, he ordered the military horses of all states in Longshuo, led by Zhang Xuntong to resist the attack of Shi Siming's rebels! ，”

"I will go south with the Manchu Dynasty to return to Chang'an tomorrow, so it's decided, there is no need to discuss it anymore!" ，”

Li Heng brushed his sleeves away.

The commander eunuch beside him hurriedly shouted, Your Majesty retreated!

Concubine Tong.

Zhang Udn, who had been quietly recuperating in the house, was finally promoted to the court under the pleading of the generals.

Hearing that Tubo had captured Tuyuhun's hometown, and the Tang Army's fiasco had come to naught, Zhang Udn couldn't help but shoot the case and scolded in public.

At this time, it was already the end of the first year of Zhide, and the howling northwest wind swept over the wall of Tongguan, making a huge sound. The temperature was extremely low and extremely cold, and although there were two braziers in the hall, it still made people feel that their legs and feet were cold.

Feng Chong and Guo Zi waited for the generals' faces to be unpleasant.

Occupying Tuyuhun's hometown · used to be the greatest glory of the Longshuo army, but now this glory has strangely come to naught, isn't it sighing!

Li Guangbi can't hold Liangning Prefecture? Feng Chong felt incomprehensible.

You must know that there are 80,000 soldiers and horses of Li Guangbi and Yang Lian on the front line of Liangning Prefecture and Qinghai, and Feng Chong and others did not know that Li Guangbi was summoned by the emperor to Lingzhou to accept the canonization before the Tubo people committed the border, far away from the defense station, and his deputy general Ling Lan was proud of the great mistake in the tactics of underestimating the enemy: on the other hand, Li Guangbi's department, which had just defeated Tubo and captured the Tubo royal court, was very angry, and the so-called arrogant soldiers would be defeated, which was probably not an accident.

"Dashuai, Tubo has committed a crime, and most of Tuyuhun's hometown has fallen, which is sighing. Now the imperial court ordered Yang Lian to defend the front line of Qinghai, and Shi Siming, the general of the An Lushan rebel army, led the army to attack Lingzhou, and the last general received a military report, His Majesty has set off from Lingzhou and returned to Chang'an. ，

Guo Zi only came out of class and said loudly.

"Your Majesty is back in Chang'an again?" Zhang Udn couldn't help but have a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and a certain mockery in his voice made Li Yu and Li Tan extremely embarrassed.

"Your Majesty should go back to Chang'an. , Zhang Udn smiled lightly, "You don't have to take the Tubo invasion to heart, Stanley currently has no spare strength to invade my territory, at most it is just to recapture Tuyuhun's hometown." As for Shi Siming, he may be able to take Xiazhou and Shuofang, but it is almost impossible to take Lingzhou! ，

"Ben Shuai has long been guarding against Shi Siming bypassing Hedong and attacking Lingzhou. , Zhang Udn waved his hand, "Two months ago, Ben Shuai sent a letter back to the Khan, asking the Khan to lead the army to garrison the periphery of Lingzhou. ，

"There is Zhang Xun in Lingzhou, and Ben Shuai can rest assured. ，”

As soon as Zhang udn's words came out, Guo Zi was secretly relieved when he waited for him.

Lingzhou is not only the central city of Longshuo, the seat of the feudal town, but also the gathering place for the families of these generals. If Lingzhou falls, their families and wealth will inevitably be difficult to protect.

"The handsome and wise, the last general will be admired!" , Guo Ziyi clenched his fists and shouted.

"Shi Siming is not afraid. Zhang Udn smiled slightly, "The great enemy of our army is still An Lushan. However, An Lushan has not been arrogant for long. If Ben Shuai is not bad, within two months, An Lushan will definitely die! ，

The generals were taken aback, and they all thought it was incredible for Zhang UDN's words.

An Lushan is only in his forties, and in his prime, this person is in Luoyang as the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, far away from the battle array, how could he die suddenly?

All the generals cast puzzled eyes on Zhang Udn.

Zhang Udn smiled silently.

An Lushan's fate is doomed. Historically, he died at the hands of his son An Qingxu, the military advisor Yan Zhuang and the eunuch Li Zhu'er, in Luoyang.

Although because of the existence of Zhang Udn, a traverser, the trajectory of history has undergone slight changes and adjustments, such as the advance of An Lushan's rebellion and the change of the fate of some historical figures.

However, the general direction of history has not changed, and the An Lushan Rebellion still came into being. According to this, Zhang Udn believes that An Lushan's ending will not change much. An Lushan will die, and An Qingxu will kill his father and usurp the throne.

In fact, Zhang UDN has been paying attention to the situation in Luoyang. According to the analysis of the news reported back from the secret agent, the infighting in the rebel camp of An Lushan has begun.

Therefore, Zhang Udn has always led the army to guard Tongguan, and did not take the initiative to fight in the name of resting the military horses. He was actually waiting for An Lushan's death. As soon as An Lushan died, the rebel infighting reached a climax, and Zhang Udn led the army to attack quickly and regain the land of Henan and Dongduluo in one fell swoop

Yang.

"An Lushan will definitely die, at the hands of his son An Qingxu. Zhang Udn got up slowly, ""Pass the order, prepare for battle, and when An Lushan returns to the sky, our army will immediately leave Tongguan and fight a decisive battle with the rebels in Henan!" ，”

After Zhang Udn finished speaking, he walked away.

Shaliu River.

Yang Lian wanted to fight several times and attacked the Stanley soldiers and horses in Liangning Prefecture, but he hesitated again and again to stick to the Shaliu River to prevent the Tubo army and horses from reaching Longwangshu and crossing Qinghai into Longshuo.

As for Li Guangbi, he was not sent to Hezhou by the emperor, but led less than 20,000 remnants of the army to defend Hezhou to protect the emperor and the imperial court to return to Chang'an.

However, for Li Guangbi, the supreme aura wrapped around his head has long since dissipated.
