Chapter 109: Supporting the General (7)
The explosions had not stopped, and the rumbling hooves of horses rang out one after another. The successive changes frightened the Hezhong army in a daze, and even Li Dingbang, who had experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, was at a loss for a while. If it weren't for the fact that the Su Ye Dart Division and the attached guards were also shocked by the explosion, the Hezhong Army would have been completely defeated.
"The Shatuo Department has rushed to help, and it is better for Li Bingma to leave as soon as possible." Ashina Wenxia reminded in a low voice.
"Ji Anglangjun is really not in the car?" Li Dingbang still did not give up.
"Can't Li Bingma see it, this is a trap given to you by Yi Yue, we have already used flying pigeons to inform Tongluo Zong Dart before we go out of the city, the purpose is to capture you alive and reveal the truth of King Sheng's death to the people of Chang'an." Ashina Wenxia chuckled: "Besides, Ji Ang is infatuated with the little lady of the Gao family, how can he be willing to leave Chang'an." ”
"Such a powerful pearl county lord, no wonder Fei Langjun is full of praise for it." Li Dingbang, who figured out the cause and effect, pulled out the short dagger on his waist and placed it in front of Ashina Wenxia's neck: "That has to bother the little lady to leave here with a certain first." ”
"The debts owed must be repaid, sister, the debts between the sisters have been refreshed, and the debts that my sister owes you have also paid off tonight......" Ashina Wenxia, who looked sad, looked up at Chang'an from afar, with tears in her eyes.
The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road.
At the beginning of March (about one o'clock in the morning), a fire dragon composed of 3,000 light horsemen galloped on the official road from Tongguan to Chang'an, exuding an impatient atmosphere from top to bottom.
At the dragon's waist, the king of Pingxi County and the right section of Longyou made Ge Shuhan endure the impact of the bump on the knee and ankle, and whipped the horse to drive the horse away. Behind him, Bian Lingcheng, the Tongguan Supervisor who was not good at riding, also gritted his teeth and rode a cyan mule, barely following. Longyou's soldiers and horses made the fire pull Guiren to wander between the dragon's head and chest, and explicitly ordered the Longyou cavalry not to maintain a formation, urging his subordinates to hurry as soon as possible and enter the king of Jingqin.
When the remnants of the fire in Huazhou City jumped into view, the pain in his legs had already caused beads of sweat to appear on Ge Shuhan's forehead. has not been running around like this for a long time, and Ge Shuhan, who is drunk and drunk, is indeed a little unbearable. If Wang Sili was on his side, he should have handed over a towel to wipe his sweat in time, but unfortunately Huo Ba Guiren was just a reckless man, far less careful than Wang Sili.
Ge Shuhan didn't want to take Wang Sili to Chang'an, but Tongguan was the foundation, and only when it was handed over to Wang Sili could he dare to go to Chang'an for a trip to troubled waters. And Chang'an, Tan Shenshui, can only go there in person.
"King Sheng is dead, with the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing have to shed their skin if they don't die, and the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses will be vacant......" Thinking about the most suspenseful Mingju, the pain in his leg couldn't help but lighten a little: "Ashina Yang is far away in the river, Li Guangbi can't have a sacred heart, Cui Yuan's reputation is insufficient, only Wang Zhengjian, who recovered Taiyuan and besieged Changshan, may become my roadblock." However, if I can make a miraculous achievement tonight, who else will be the deputy marshal! It is not impossible for him to worship the right minister and rule the world! ”
Having said that, Ge Shuhan is still not very down-to-earth in his heart, after all, Wang Zhengjian is deeply involved in the East Palace, with Wang Zhonghei from afar and Princess Jianning from afar, but he is a monk halfway and has just joined the prince's door.
Ge Shuhan didn't have the opportunity to climb the East Palace before, but at that time, Li Xiang controlled the government and covered the sky with one hand, Yang Guozhong was an upstart and hot, and the prince was suppressed by the two powerful ministers and had no power to fight back.
Ge Shuhan is not stupid, how can he be like Wang Zhonghe, doing futile deeds for the sake of illusory friendship. Therefore, he first bent on Li Linfu, and then climbed to Yang Guozhong, but he never had the idea of taking refuge in the East Palace.
Ge Shuhan's speculation also reaped rich rewards, after Wang Zhongsi was deposed, he rose to the top, moved from the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu to the king of Pingxi County, and became an important minister of the court comparable to An Lushan.
However, the situation in the court was unpredictable, and Ge Shuhan wanted to rely on the Yang family's Austrian aid to enter the prime minister, but the stupid Yang Guozhong wantonly provoked An Lushan, a border general with heavy troops, and ignited the beacon fire in the sky. Ge Shuhan originally wanted to use his counterinsurgency skills to suppress Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zhengjian, but it happened to be the recurrence of the old disease and lost the opportunity to compete for the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses.
Fortunately in the misfortune, Anxi is thousands of miles away, Hexi Sishun is a blood relative of the thief, Shuo Fang must guard against the rebels in Huifu and Hedong, and the saint must rely on the elite soldiers of Longyou to quell the rebellion. Geshuhan Festival has been in Longyou for many years, eradicating dissidents and widely inserting cronies, and has already managed it to the point that it cannot be pierced by needles and splashed with water.
At the behest of Ge Shuhan, Wang Sili, who led the army into the king of Qin, deliberately delayed, until the sage listened to Li Mi's advice and made him a privy deputy envoy, and Ge Shuhan ordered the Longyou army to march into Beijing in a hurry to stabilize the hearts of Chang'an's subjects.
However, it is difficult for a mere privy deputy to satisfy Ge Shuhan's desires. When the rebels invaded Luoyang, Ge Shuhan repeated his old tricks and ordered Wang Sili to delay and watch Feng Changqing fight the enemy of jackals with a rabble. After the defeat of Changqing, the fall of the eastern capital, and the commotion in the world, Ge Shuhan easily replaced Gao Xianzhi as the defense envoy of Tongguan, and became the auxiliary emperor's shareholder and the dry city of Chang'an.
When Ge Shuhan was planning privately, Donggong sent someone to meet with him, trying to drive him to fight with Gao and Feng secretly with a clumsy provocation. Although Ge Shuhan gave Pei Cheng a closed door, he realized that the prince and himself coincided and went the same way.
Once in power, he will take revenge. At that time, under Wang Zhonghe's account, An Sishun was the military envoy of the Dadou Army, and Ge Shuhan was the deputy envoy, and the two were repeatedly dirty because of the struggle for power and profit, and almost drew their swords against each other, forcing Wang Zhongsi to separate the two. After being promoted to the envoy of the Longyou Festival, Ge Shuhan was quite proud, but he was humiliated by An Lushan, which made him hate the An brothers deeply.
When Ge Shuhan was in charge of Tongguan, An Sishun had been stripped of his post as the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu, and he was promoted to the head of the household department. Ge Shuhan made the clever Wang Sili move slightly, and then put the charge of "collaborating with the enemy and rebelling" on An Sishun's head, and used the hand of the saint to remove the thorn in the flesh in his eye.
The old grudge was avenged, and he was naturally happy, but to Ge Shuhan's surprise, although no one in the Korean and Chinese armies dared to speak out for An Sishun, there were many people who complained about him in private. It is reported that Wang Zhengjian's youngest son, Wang Fei, had privately connected with the ministers, and the generals who knew An Sishun such as Huoba Guiren in the Longyou Army also had a slight complaint.
The worst thing is that Ge Shuhan's ruthless act of framing An Sishun frightened Yang Guozhong, who was already a frightened bird. At that time, the public opinion in the world was turbulent, and they all accused the right minister of acting arbitrarily and causing trouble, and the Qinwang soldiers inside and outside Chang'an also slandered Yang Guozhong. Ge Shuhan has been attached to Yang Guozhong for a long time, and his wings are already full, like an ally of the right minister, and he is no longer a servant of the Yang family.
King Sheng frequently crossed the right phase to woo Ge Shuhan, which made Yang Guozhong feel a chill down his spine. Because he was worried that Ge Shuhan, who had a strong army, would be unfavorable to his family, Yang Guozhong hurriedly recruited troops and called him the Guardian Jingshi, but in fact, he was guarding against Tongguan. Wang Sili privately suggested that Ge Shuhan should follow the will of the people to eradicate Wuyang, cut off An Lushan's excuse to raise troops, and make immortal achievements. After thinking about it, Ge Shuhan, who was quite moved, angered the saint by killing the Yang family, and became stigmatized; Eryougao, Feng, Wang Zhengjian and other yellow finches followed, and they made wedding clothes for others, so they first refused Wang Sili's invitation.
However, Ge Shuhan knew that Yang Guozhong, who had become the one referred to by Qianfu, was already a mud bodhisattva who could not be protected by himself, and he was not worthy of being his backer. After some thought, he deliberately scolded Yang Guozhong in front of the prison army Bian Lingcheng, and then forcibly annexed the new army of Ba Shang trained by Yang Xuan, and slapped the Yang family hard.
Ge Shuhan seemed to be a big rebellious move, and immediately got the approval of the Huazhou battalion, and His Royal Highness King Sheng couldn't wait to make up the military orders for the Longyou Army, making Yang Guozhong dumb and dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and there were words of suffering.
Crossing the right phase and directly hooking up with King Sheng, who has the strongest holy grace, can be regarded as an inch on the road to fame, but what Ge Shuhan is looking forward to most is not Li Qi's appreciation, because he knows that King Sheng was pushed to the eyes of the saint with all his strength by Li Linfu before he died, and it is the greatest legacy left by the scheming Li Xiang to his descendants. Li Qi's team is also based on Li Xiang's henchmen such as Li Renzhi, Luo Xizao, and Gao Xianzhi, and even if he does his best, it is difficult to surpass King Sheng's trust in Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing.
Ge Shuhan fought with An Sishun back then, and traced back to its roots, but he was just "unwilling to be left behind". Now he is conceited of his talent and military exploits, and he does not want to be below Gao Xianzhi. And as expected, not long after Ba Shang captured the army, the prince's secret envoy Pei Cheng visited again.
Tongguan Supervisor Bian Lingcheng thought he was acting carefully, but he didn't know that Ge Shuhan had already discovered his secret involvement with the East Palace from the strange change of ownership of the Ruyiju shop. Ge Shuhan cursed Yang Guozhong in front of him, in order to lure the East Palace to bite the bait.
The prince's abacus clanged, and the white fangs tried to persuade Ge Shuhan to send troops to kill Yang Guozhong and force the saint to abdicate as the emperor. As everyone knows, it was precisely in order to avoid getting his hands dirty that Ge Shuhan released incense bait to lure Donggong to take the bait.
Although Wang Zhengjian went to Hebei, Su Yejun didn't listen to the East Palace's greetings very much, but Ge Shuhan, who guarded the front line of Tongguan and Pujindu, knew that the prince was recruiting and infiltrating the Wenxi Pei family tribe into Beijing.
After all, in this gambling game, he is only betting on fame and fortune outside his body, and the prince is betting on life and death. Unless Donggong obtains an irreversible advantage, he will never choose a side easily.
A few days later, Ge Shuhan was still doubting whether the Pei family's trilogy could succeed, and Pei Cheng, who had visited three times, brought the prince's solemn promise.
"If Li Qi'er dies, can His Royal Highness the King of the County do righteous deeds?"
"If King Sheng dies unexpectedly, looking at the clan, there is no one who can be the opponent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ge Shuhan was surprised in his heart, and said tentatively: "I don't know what His Highness commands. ”
"King Sheng died, and the fire of peace was extinguished. After the deed is accomplished, the privy envoy is none other than the king. ”
"Well said." Ge Shuhan was satisfied with the price, but he expected more: "The deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses that day ......"
"Your Highness, you are a businessman, and you get what you pay for......
