Chapter 371 The Warmly Welcomed Women's Army
Li Qi, Chen Xilie and Zhang Tong led everyone to welcome the women's army led by Su Hudong, Li Tengkong, and Hua Nuer into the city, "even though Zhang Pian's army is still behind", but with such a female army of thousands of people rushing to the aid of Chang'an, it is tantamount to a booster for the court officials and Chang'an soldiers and civilians who stayed behind.
It plays an irreplaceable role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
When entering the city, the cavalry of the women's army was unusually welcomed by the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an. The emotions of the people, the enthusiasm of their attitudes, and the cheers and praises shook the earth, making the female soldiers blush and feel flattered. [..]
The main force of the women's army was actually the Uighur women's army brought by Su Hudong, and these Uighur women entered the prosperous super city of Chang'an for the first time, and they were already surrounded by tall and majestic walls and wide streets. The rows of shops and the flow of people rubbing shoulders are dazzling.
Su Hudong is a Hui woman with a bold temperament, but she doesn't feel anything yet. But Li Tengkong was born in a national family, and although he practiced martial arts and swords, he also knew how to be knowledgeable.
She immediately saluted Li Shi, the king of Jianning, and said, "Your Highness, the slave family really doesn't dare to be so loved by His Highness and all the adults and the people of the city!" ”
Li Tan laughed and replied, "The two female army generals led the army to aid Chang'an, and they went to the national disaster, and we should go out of the city to greet each other!" Chen Xiang, summon down, set sail for Xiangxiang Palace today to set up a banquet in Daming Palace, and wash the dust for the soldiers of the Longshuo Women's Army! ”
Chen Xilie and Zhang Tong also chimed in.
Li Tengkong saw that Li Gang was so attentive, and he also understood in his heart that he treated her and Su Hudong with this courtesy, on the one hand, he was moved by the women's army to help Chang'an, and on the other hand, it was also on Zhang Yan's face. After all, they are still the two beloved wives of Zhang Xuan, the king of Yongning.
Zhang Xuan can let his woman lead the army to aid Chang'an, which is enough to show his attitude.
Zhang Xuan will never give up Chang'an, and will definitely try to keep Chang'an.
In this way, 'Li Shuyan can not be happy, can he not be moved, and can he not be courteous to Su Hudong and Li Tengkong!
Li Tengkong said no more.
She is no longer the young daughter of Li Linfu now, but the wife of Zhang Yin, the king of Yongning. She, Su Hudong and Hua Nu'er's three daughters represent Zhang Yin's face and image.
Hua Nu'er stared deeply at Li Shu, and suddenly fell into Li Tengkong's ear and whispered, "Kong'er, this Jianning King Li Qi is relaxed, and he looks three points stronger than that emperor!" This person can stay in Chang'an at the time of national crisis, and he has a lot of courage and courage; And he deliberately befriended Xuan Lang's obviously ambition. ”
"This kind of bold and ambitious prince will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future."
Li Tengkong nodded silently, and also glanced at Li Gang.
Li Huzheng was talking and laughing with Su Hudong. Su Hudong obviously has a good impression of Li Tan, she is a Hui woman, 'scheming is relatively simple', she feels that this prince is not bad, with grace and strength, and a little backbone.
The ranks of the women's army marched slowly amid the cheers of the city, and when they were about to arrive in the West Market and were about to bypass the West Market and reroute into Suzaku Street to enter the Imperial City, the sharp-eyed Li Qi saw at a glance Cui Ying, the princess of Yongning, who was standing on the side of the road with a clearly bulging lower abdomen, and the bright-eyed and bright-toothed Wanchun Imperial Aunt. Standing beside the two daughters, there was also a charming lady with a bewitching appearance, who was also small and had a bulging belly, and it was the third sister Yang of the State of Qiu.
Li Gang laughed, "The two female army generals, Princess Yongning, Emperor Aunt Wanchun and Mrs. Qiuguo, have come out to greet you!" ”
Su Hudong, Li Tengkong, and Hua Nu'er immediately smiled and leaped off the horse, striding to Cui Ying and the other women, and took the lead in saluting together, "I've seen my sister!" Sister Wanchun! Madam! ”
Cui Ying was four or five months pregnant, and she was already a little immobile, she smiled and took Su Hudong and Li Tengkong's hands, and said softly, "The two younger sisters went back to Beijing, and the slave family breathed a sigh of relief." It's hard for the two sisters and daughters, and they have to go out into the army'The slave family only hates themselves for being useless, and they can't lead the army with the two sisters to kill the enemy! ”
Wan Chun pouted and said, "The slave family can also ride a horse and shoot hunting, the husband is too partial, and the slave family also has to lead the army to kill the enemy!" ”
Third Sister Yang covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Your Highness Wanchun, this is a joke, 'Although you can ride a horse and shoot arrows, you are not playing on the battlefield' You have no power to restrain the chicken, how can you go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”
Several women greeted each other affectionately, Cui Ying's mind was calm, she didn't snub Hua Nu'er, but turned her head to Hua Nu'er and smiled, "Sister Fengming has worked hard all the way." ”
Hua Nu'er's face turned red, and she bowed but didn't say anything.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Gang, the king of Jianning, held a feast in the imperial city to reward the women's army. It's just that because of the special period, the national disaster is coming, and there is no singing and dancing at the banquet.
At the banquet, Li Tengkong conveyed Zhang Xuan's suggestion to Li Tan and Zhang Tong, asking Zhang Tong to lead 10,000 Lin Wei troops and horses to immediately gallop to Tongguan.
Zhang Tong had already led the army into Tongguan, but Li Tan hesitated slightly.
Hold Chang'an, at present, all the 10,000 forest guards under Zhang Tong's command, if these 10,000 military horses are also pulled into Tongguan, Chang'an will almost become an empty city, how can it resist the rebels of An Lushan
Seeing that Li Gang was hesitating, Li Tengkong couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness, I thought that as long as Tongguan was not lost, Chang'an would be safe." If Tongguan is lost, Chang'an will not be able to keep it. Don't say 10,000 Yu Lin Wei, even 35,000 'It is difficult to resist the An Lushan rebels! ”
"Therefore, it is feasible to let General Zhang Da lead the army to aid Tongguan and strengthen the troops guarding Tongguan in case of accidents. Moreover, the army of more than 100,000 troops in Longshuo can enter Guanzhong in ten days at most, Your Highness can rest assured! ”
Chen Xilie got up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Highness" The old minister thought that what Mrs. Yanning said was reasonable. As long as the army of King Yongning enters Guanzhong, Chang'an will be impregnable. Lao Chen believed that the invincible Longshuo army was enough to resist the Fanyang rebels! ”
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, according to the policy of King Yongning, you will immediately lead the Yulin Guards to gallop to the aid of Tongguan, there must be no mistake!" ”
"The last general obeys!" Zhang Tong was overjoyed, got up and took the order.
Of course, 'when he leaves Chang'an, he may not take all the Yulinwei away', and he has to leave two or three thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city to maintain the safety of Chang'an City' and maintain normal order.
…………………………”#…… #……………。
At that end, Li Heng led the army and the Manchu Dynasty to flee to Longzhou, waiting for Zhang Xuan's army to arrive and escort him. But then, Li Heng received a report from Zhang Xuan, and got news that Zhang Xuan led the Longshuo army along the periphery of Gyeongju and marched towards Guanzhong at a rapid pace!
Zhang Pian asked Li Heng to go to Lingzhou to wait with peace of mind, but did not come to Longzhou to escort him.
Of course, Li Heng was a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say it. At this moment, when the national crisis is at hand, he still expects Zhang Pian to quell the rebellion and restore the country, even if he has some anger in his heart, he can't come out.
Yang Guozhong hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yan does not respect Your Majesty's orders" and reprimanded him immediately! ”
Sun Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also took the opportunity to participate in the performance, "Your Majesty's Zhang Xuan disobeyed His Majesty's will and did not come to Longzhou to escort him, his crime is not small. In the opinion of the minister, His Majesty should take away Zhang Pian's military power, and send another general to lead the army to fight against the An Lushan rebels! ”
Li Heng frowned.
Before he could speak, Li Yu, who had been standing silently beside Li Heng, suddenly opened his mouth and scolded angrily, "Nonsense! Zhang Xuan led the army to rush into Guanzhong to protect Chang'an, which was the best policy. If Tongguan and Chang'an are not guaranteed, even if we go north to Lingzhou, what can we do? ”
"Father, the national disaster is at the head, and if there are any ministers who frame Zhongliang, they should be beheaded!"
Li Yubai fell to the ground.
He was originally grounded by Li Heng for three years, but because of An Lushan's rebellion, he was taken out of Chang'an by Li Heng, and the ban order was no longer over.
Li Yu originally had a feud with Zhang Pian, but at the critical moment, Li Yu showed a strong sense of the overall situation, and even stood up to speak for Zhang Ti's name, which in a sense, Li Yu still has its merits on the issue of right and wrong.
In Li Yu's view, no matter what Zhang Xuan did before, there is no problem with his current strategy. Only by rushing to the aid of Guanzhong and 'holding Tongguan' can he really stop the An Lushan rebels from continuing to advance westward. As long as Guanzhong is not lost and Chang'an City does not fall into the hands of traitors, the Tang Dynasty will stand majestically.
Li Heng nodded slightly, "Li Yu's performance satisfied him."
That's exactly what happened. 'If someone maliciously frames the minister of King Qin out of selfish interests, I will not spare it! Li Heng's cold gaze swept over Yang Guozhong and Gongsun Liang.
Yang Guozhong was silent, and Gongsun Liang trembled in his heart, and lowered his head.
"Spread my will, canonize Zhang Xuan as the generalissimo of counterinsurgency and the general manager of the world's soldiers and horses, control all kinds of soldiers and horses to fight against the rebels, and fight to the death with An Lushan dog thieves!"
"I set off with all my ministers and hurried to Lingzhou to wait. On the day when the imperial army defeated the An Lushan rebels, the division will return to the court! ”
Li Heng stood up and said loudly.
"Your Majesty is wise, and your ministers obey your orders!" Yang Guozhong and Gongsun Liang led the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, Long live, but the sound of this mountain calling Long Live is far from being as confident as in the court, and it is somewhat weak and lacking.
Li Yu leaned down, but he was greatly disappointed in his heart.
Originally, in Li Yu's opinion, 'Zhang Xuan's army of more than 100,000 Qinwang was ready to enter Guanzhong', and this farce of fleeing Chang'an and going to Lingzhou to take refuge should be declared over', and Li Heng should have led the army to return to Chang'an immediately.
But his father was still too cowardly after all, and he was still a little worried that Zhang Yan would not be able to stop An Lushan's rebels, so he decided to go to Lingwu and wait in peace.
Anyway, Lingzhou has become the rear of the entire counterinsurgency, and as long as the imperial court soldiers and horses are not wiped out, An Lushan's rebels will not be able to fight Lingzhou. Lingzhou' is the safest place to be.
Li Yu sighed in his heart and shook his head, but he made up his mind in his heart.
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly came out of class and said loudly, "Father, the son also practiced the military book and war strategy, 'good bow and horse riding and archery' When the country was in trouble, the son wanted to lead an army to the front line to serve the country, and asked his father for permission.
