Chapter 397: Yan Zhenqing! Dedication to repay gratitude, self-slaughter to the end

Guo Ziyi hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Lord, there are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, so do you want to divide 10,000 troops to Tongguan to help Feng Shuai and General Zhang defend Tongguan in case of accidents." ”

Guo Ziyi's meaning is obvious∨ Xuan openly broke with the imperial court and raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, the emperor will definitely not be willing to sit still, and will definitely order the world's feudal towns to raise troops and Qin Wang, if the army of each town arrives, Feng Chong can't hold Tongguan, so that Henan and Guanzhong are connected, and all fall into the hands of the imperial court, they will suffer from the enemy. [..]

According to the meaning of Guo Ziyi and Fugu Huaien, it should be to go out of Tongguan to take Pingguan first, attack Chang'an, destroy the emperor and change the dynasty. As for Fan Yang's Shi Siming rebels, they can be slowly plotted, anyway, Shi Siming will not be able to become a climate if he divides Fan Yang.

But Zhang Xuan did not obey, he insisted on rebellion, rebellion, injustice, and never being the emperor ♀ was his principle of life.

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "Ziyi is too worried." The reason why I put down the rebellion first and then attacked Chang'an was because I didn't want to be infamous through the ages. ”

"Now the emperor can mobilize no more than 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Huai and Jiangnan armies. An Sishun of Jiannan not only had to guard against Tibet, but also had to resist Nanzhao, and it was difficult to divide his troops. What the emperor counted on was none other than the three towns of Geshuhan in Hexi, Yang Qi in Anxi and Cheng Qianli in Beiting. ”

"There are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in these three towns, only tens of thousands, so it is not a problem. I believe that Feng Chong will definitely be able to hold Tongguan, as long as Tongguan is not lost, our army will sweep away Fanyang and then wave the Guanzhong, which is just around the corner. ”

Zhang Xuan said loudly. In fact, he had something in his heart that he didn't say.

The three people that the emperor counted on were all very close to Zhang Xuan∨ Xuan had the grace of recommending Yang Qi, and the Yang family was very close to Zhang Xuan, so it is difficult to say whether Yang Qi would listen to the emperor's orders. As for Cheng Qianli in Beiting, Beiting is far away from Chang'an, even if Cheng Qianli has a diligent king, I am afraid that he is beyond the reach of the whip.

The only one who can really be the king of Qin may be Ge Shuhan.

"The lord is wise, and the last will obey." Guo Ziyi didn't say anything more. life

"What's going on over there Yan Zhenqing?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Lord, the last general has just received a report that Feng Shuai ordered Zhang Tong to lead 10,000 troops and horses of Yulinwei to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and I don't know what the battle situation is? Yan Zhenqing, "", Guo Ziyi groaned.

"It's a good Feng Chong, and it really deserves its name." Zhang Xuan was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Occupy the Tiger Prison Pass first, and our army will have an additional opportunity." Otherwise, hearing the news that we are raising troops in Luoyang, I'm afraid Shi Siming will be restless. ”

"As for Yan Zhenqing......... A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, "Summoning Zhang Tong, no matter what, he must thin Yan Zhenqing's 'sexual' life, and in the future, he will need a talent like Yan Zhenqing to govern the country." ”

"Yan Zhenqing's leadership may be worse, but the talent of governing the country is rarely matched by anyone in the world." Zhang Xuan's high evaluation of Yan Zhenqing surprised Guo Ziyi.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Guo Ziyi, smiled and said, "Ziyi, the talents of the generals under my command are like clouds, Ziyi, Fugu Huaien, Feng Chong, Lei Wanchun, Nan Jiyun, etc., are all among them, but there are very few talents in governing the country ≌ Zhenqing is a talent, and he must be thin." ”

"Talents are rare......" Zhang Xuan sighed.

Zhang Tong led 10,000 troops and horses of Yu Linwei to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass.

Yan Zhenqing led a group of generals to the tower of the Tiger Prison Pass, staring at the way of Zhang Tong's army and pointing to the smoke and dust, his face swaying and changing.

At this moment, his mood is very complicated.

Zhang Xuan finally reversed, which was not unexpected by Yan Zhenqing.

However, Zhang Xuan is the opposite, where should he go?

With Zhang Xuan's military strength, the 20,000 people under his command could not hold the Tiger Pass. However, if Yan Zhenqing's heart is used, whether he can keep it or not, he must be loyal to it. But Zhang Xuan has the grace of releasing and not killing him, and he has a little bit of gratitude and gratitude to Zhang Xuan.

Huo Changqing, the overseer, looked at the origin of Zhang Tong's army with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Yan, Zhang Tong's rebel army is only 10,000 people, but there are 20,000 troops under Lord Yan's command, as long as they stick to the Tiger Pass, the rebels will inevitably be defeated and retreat." ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Yan, Your Majesty has mobilized the world's soldiers and horses to Qin Wang, Zhang Xuan's rebellion 'chaos', should be condemned by the world! As long as Lord Yan guards the Tiger Prison Pass, he will make a great contribution to the imperial court, and it is not impossible to be crowned the king and worship the prime minister in the future. Huo Changqing's Yan Zhenqing was timid, so he puffed up loudly again.

Yan Zhenqing smiled coldly and ignored Huo Changqing.

After the rebellion of An Lushan's father and son, the elite soldiers and horses in the world are all under Zhang Xuan's control. Sweeping Fan Yang or taking Chang'an is something that can be expected.

It can be said that from the moment Zhang Xuan raised his army, the country of the Li Tang Dynasty was already crumbling.

Zhang Tong's army camped outside the Tiger Prison Pass and did not attack immediately.

Sunset. At this moment, it is already early summer, the wind blowing in the sky is full of damp heat and the fragrance of flowers, and the Yulin Guards are waiting for the horses, waving their flags in the wind.

And Zhang Tongzong immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to look at Yan Zhenqing's figure standing proudly on the tower of the Tiger Prison Pass, and shouted loudly, "Lord Yan! ”

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Yan Zhenqing's mouth, and he clenched his fists and shouted, "General Zhang! ”

"Lord Yan, this general is coming with the army to recover the Tiger Pass. The emperor has no way, the court is mediocre, today there is a big "chaos", my lord Fengtian carries up troops to help the world, and the people who know the times are Junjie, and they will serve our lord as soon as possible, and they will be the founding heroes, please think twice! ”

Yan Zhenqing hadn't said anything yet, Huo Changqing, who was standing behind Yan Zhenqing, couldn't help but shout angrily, "Bah! Zhang Tong, as a minister of the court, but serving a traitor, what crime should you be guilty of? When the imperial army arrives, Zhang Xuan's rebels will be defeated like a mountain. If you return to the imperial court at this moment, this supervising army should play the imperial court and Your Majesty, and pardon you and others for the crime of rebellion and rebellion! ”

"Presumptuous, you little eunuch, you dare to point fingers in front of this general! The emperor has no way, he just listens to the words of the "traitor" villain such as Xin'er! Zhang Tong was furious, raised his hand and pointed at Huo Changqing and roared, and then waved his hand to signal the guards to take his longbow, take the bow and draw the arrow, and strive to "shoot" at Huo Changqing on the city tower.

This is just a false action, at such a distance, Zhang Tong is not a master of Nan Jiyun's archery like a god, and it is almost impossible to "shoot" Huo Changqing. But Huo Changqing was still so frightened that he retreated several feet in a row, hiding under the shield of the soldiers.

Yan Zhenqing turned his head and glanced at Huo Changqing disdainfully, pondered for a moment, and said with a long sigh, "General Zhang, the lower officials know that it is difficult for the lower officials to stop the footsteps of the army with less than 20,000 horses, and they will not lose the lives of the soldiers in vain. ”

"The marshal is kind to the lower officials, and the lower officials should repay the kindness. Come on, switch, welcome General Zhang into the customs! ”

Yan Zhenqing shouted, and his generals couldn't hold it anymore, so they immediately shouted and ordered the soldiers to switch on.

This part of the Henan army was already unstable, how dare it be the enemy with Zhang Xuan's army∨ Xuan's army since it was stationed in Tongguan, recovered Henan and Luoyang, and defeated An Lushan's rebels in succession, which constituted a great deterrent in the hearts of these Henan troops. With such a military horse and a tiger prison, can it withstand Zhang Xuan's more than 100,000 troops? It's a joke!

Many middle and low-level generals have long had the intention of returning to obedience, but they are just waiting for Yan Zhenqing's order.

Huo Changqing was shocked and said angrily, "Yan Zhenqing, you are so bold!" Your Majesty has a grace to you, you don't want to serve the king, but switch off the thief! ”

Yan Zhenqing turned his head and glared at Huo Changqing angrily, "Shut up for this official!" Someone came, take down this eunuch and send it to General Zhang for disposal. ”

As soon as Yan Zhenqing's words fell, several fierce soldiers stepped forward and kicked Huo Changqing over. For this eunuch who is high up in the army, the soldiers have long been displeased.

Zhang Tong led the army into the Tiger Pass and took over the defense of the Tiger Pass, and the Henan Army of Guishun was also all included under Zhang Tong's command, but it still took time to reorganize.

Zhang Tong hurriedly led a few guards to climb the tower, only to see Yan Zhenqing kneeling down on one knee in the direction of Chang'an with a sad look, and the three-foot Qingfeng in the twilight reflected a slight invisible cold light.

"Yan is incompetent, and he lives in the world without Yan Xun, so he should list himself today to repay the emperor's kindness." Yan Zhenqing sighed, as soon as his eyes were closed, his heart was horizontal, and the sword in his hand slashed towards his neck without hesitation.

Zhang Tong was shocked, he didn't have time to stop Yan Zhenqing, and subconsciously shouted, "Yan Zhenqing, my lord has a life, if you dare to carve yourself, you should be killed by the nine clans!" ”

Yan Zhenqing's heart trembled, his hand was weak, the blade of the sword gently cut through the skin of his neck, and the blood was revealed, but the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Yan Zhenqing slowly looked back at Zhang Tong and the others who ran over, and sighed, "General Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Yan is incompetent, the general of the defeated army, he consciously lives in the world without Yan Xun, and he should be self-defeating, but my family is innocent.........

"Come on, take Yan Zhenqing down and tie him up." With a wave of Zhang Tong's hand, several guards rushed up and controlled Yan Zhenqing.

Zhang Tong hugged his fists and smiled, "I'm sorry, Lord Yan, this is my lord's strict order." But if you die, my lord will take this to blame. ”

"Lord Yan, don't be impatient, my lord will lead the army to arrive in three days. At that time, if Lord Yan still wants to die, then whatever. But now, you can't die. Zhang Tong waved his hand, "Invite Lord Yan down to take care of it, and there must be no mistakes." ”

The guards took Yan Zhenqing down, and Zhang Tong breathed a sigh of relief, secretly saying that he was lucky.

If he hadn't been a step late, or if he hadn't said that sentence in a hurry, I'm afraid that Yan Zhenqing would have died in Jiuquan at this moment.

Although Zhang Tong didn't know why Zhang Xuan valued Yan Zhenqing so much, since Zhang Xuan gave the order, he could only obey unconditionally.
