"Fierce oil fire!" Tian Qianzhen was angry and annoyed, and it was his great shame to be repeatedly defeated by Su Yejun: "Sons, kill me!" ”

However, the Su Ye army had no intention of confronting the Luoluo River, and after they broke through the encirclement of the Fan Yang army, they immediately drilled into the city and did not come out again, and the cheers in Lantian City resounded in the sky.

If it weren't for Gao Xianzhi's personal command and Feng Changqing's wisdom, the remnants of Huazhou would have collapsed long ago. Even so, the Anxi soldiers who had worked hard to support them had long been tired and exhausted, and most of them had already made up their minds to go to the country with Gao Shumi and Feng Jieshuai. The sudden arrival of reinforcements made the defenders see a glimmer of hope in the thick black despair.

"Damn!" Tian Qian was really angry, but there was nothing he could do.

"Ah Hao, don't worry!" Cui Qianyou, who came later, turned over and dismounted, and carefully picked up a piece of glass slag from the ashes: "The Suye army is not a fierce oil bomb, and their chariot has not appeared. ”

"Brother Cui means ......"

"It is only the vanguard of the enemy that has just appeared, and if our army cannot break the city as soon as possible, the enemy army will gather more and more."

"A certain ...... to intercept a combat vehicle"

"No, the key to breaking the enemy is the counterweight stone cannon in Lantian Pass, you should quickly respond to it, and you must not delay."

"No!" Before Tian Qianzhen took the order and left, he looked at Lantian City hatefully, and said secretly: "Wang Fei'er, tonight will definitely be a shame!" ”

Tian Qianzhen, who was full of hatred, didn't know that Wang Fei was not in the city at the moment......

The general's iron armor does not take off at night, and the army marches in the middle of the night.

When Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were fighting with the rebels, at the mountain gate of Xiangji Temple on the west side of Shenheyuan in the south of Chang'an City, Cui Yuan, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu and the governor of the future, was holding a handnote, looking at the 10,000 athletes waiting for the opening after the queue, and hesitated.

"Cui Jieshuai, the Huazhou camp was attacked by the prince's men, and His Royal Highness King Sheng escaped by luck, and has now entered Beijing to expose the treacherous schemes of the East Palace. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, the prince launched a riot in Chang'an, murdered the right minister, and coerced the saint. On the orders of His Royal Highness, he asked the marshal to quickly send troops to Chang'an to quell the rebellion in the East Palace. After the matter is completed, the saint, His Royal Highness and the right minister will have a heavy reward, and the festival commander will be crowned the king and worship the prime minister just around the corner. The disheveled Li Renzhi's face was full of anxiety.

"Where is Your Highness now?" Cui Yuan looked down at the handnote again, the words looked like the words of King Sheng, and it was stamped with Li Qi's private seal, which didn't look inappropriate. It is important to send troops to Chang'an, and he has gambled on the glory and wealth of several generations, and if he makes a mistake, he will be beheaded and the nine clans will be connected, so he must be cautious.

"Shi Chaoyi escorted His Royal Highness straight to Daming Palace...... Li Renzhi made a calculation: "If the road goes well, His Royal Highness should have seen the saint, although the marshal sent troops, maybe he would meet the envoy who passed the decree halfway, and ordered the southern army of the sword to enter the city Qin Wang." ”

"King Qin......" Cui Yuan's heart was hot. He is conceited and has the ambition of both civil and military, but Yang Guozhong is cronyistic, regards Xian Yuxiang as a confidant and himself as a lackey. Cui Yuan asked himself about his background and qualifications, but Jiannan Jiedu made the position between Yang Guozhong and Xian Yuxiang, and he never had a chance with him.

Although Cui Yuan is attached to Yang Guozhong, he also has his own little Jiujiu. Last year, he connived at Li Sheng's entry into Beijing to expose the truth about the Jiannan Army's defeat on the banks of the Xi'er River, which was Cui Yuan's small counterattack. He didn't expect to bring down Yang Guozhong, but if he borrowed a sword to get rid of Xian Yuxiang, seven or eight out of ten of the Jiannan Jiedu envoys would fall into his hands.

It's a pity that the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, it is said that Fei Langjun has been widely contacted, accumulated enough strength, and is ready to thoroughly understand the war in Jiannan, but unexpectedly, the doubts about Fei Langjun's life experience first appeared, and then An Lushan raised the banner on the side of Qing Jun, and the attack on Yang Guozhong and Xian Yuxiang could not be completed, which made Cui Yuan, who was full of expectations, very discouraged.

However, Cui Yuan was not depressed for too long. Central Plains Bandang, the king of the border army. After receiving the edict, he immediately realized that a new opportunity had come, and the number of counterinsurgency exploits would determine the status of the court in the future, so he carefully selected 10,000 tigers to go north, of which 7,000 were the veterans of a hundred battles brought back by Li Sheng from Taihe City.

Cui Yuan made such a bloody investment, although he had the selfish intention of inviting merit and pets, but he also did it on the orders of Yang Guozhong. Since An Lushan raised his army, the world has been turbulent, public opinion is boiling, and the spearhead is either bright or dark. Even Ge Shuhan, who had been attached to Yang Guozhong for many years, broke with him, and the Jiannan Army became the last support of the Yang family.

Of course, Cui Yuan has his own calculations, in his eyes, the only backer of the Yang family is not the tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiannan, but the saint's favor for the concubine. Compared with the splendid rivers and mountains, the grace of the emperor is as light as the silver bell at the corner of the Futu Tower, and it is pleasant to the ear when the breeze comes, and it is gone when the wind and rain are sudden.

The tiger and wolf that covered the sky and the sun blocked the imperial light that shone on the Yang family, and Xuan He's right phase suddenly became a rootless duckweed. The day when the Fanyang rebels swept through the Central Plains and captured the eastern capital sounded the death knell of the Yang family.

Cui Yuan had no intention of accompanying Shen Zhizhou all the way to the dark, he urgently needed an opportunity to change his court, and the 10,000 elites under his command were his best vote. The question is, who to turn to? Is the news brought by Li Renzhi a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or a trap that will never recover?

"Cui Jieshuai, without further ado, the opportunity must not be lost!" Li Renzhi rubbed his hands and feet, impatient.

"It's better to be still than to move, and seek ...... in wealth and danger" Cui Yuan looked at the flickering Chang'an City and the dark Tongguan from afar, and finally made up his mind: "Pass on my military order, the whole army will travel lightly, and quickly go north to rescue the ......"

Jumping on the snowy mountains on the flat ground, thunderbolts under the clear sky.

"Vice Envoy Cui, slow down!"

Before the smile could spread on Li Renzhi's face, the sound of horses' hooves and familiar words like raindrops knocked his burning heart into the ice cave.

"What a bold man, he dares to break into the military formation!" Cui Yuan waved his hand, and the Jiannan Ya soldiers led by the Zhenyuan cavalry team were about to line up to meet the battle, but they heard people laugh and say, "Deputy Envoy Cui has always been good?" ”

"County Lieutenant Li!" "Team Lee!" "Captain Li!" The soldiers of different identities in the Jiannan army shouted out in unison, and the only thing they had in common was that they all let down their vigilance, and a sincere smile appeared on their faces as they had reunited after a long absence.

"Fei Langjun, General Li Bei, isn't the Su Ye Army guarding the east of the river?" Cui Yuan was quite concerned about Li Sheng's whereabouts.

"Deputy Envoy Cui, can you take a step to speak?" Wang Fei couldn't greet Cui Yuan, so he took off the horizontal knife on his waist and invited him to have a secret talk.

"I don't know what to teach Fei Lang-kun?" Cui Yuan habitually put on a smiling expression.

"Does Deputy Envoy Cui know that King Sheng has been buried in the marshal's camp?" Wang Fei went straight to the point, did not hide or hide.

"Oh......" Cui Yuan glanced at Li Renzhi expressionlessly: "The rebels under the command of An Thief are really fast, Tongguan is broken, and its vanguard has been killed in Huazhou." ”

"No, the mastermind of the sneak attack on King Sheng is not the rebels, but the East Palace." Wang Fei said quietly: "And Tongguan has not lost ......"

On the way to reinforce Tongguan, Wang Fei happened to meet Gao Yunzhou and Khotanese King Wei Chi Sheng, and was stunned to learn that Tongguan was safe and sound.

As for why Ge Shuhan didn't light the peace fire on time, Gao Yunzhou and the others didn't know anything, because when the fire broke out in Huazhou, Ge Shuhan ordered Wei Chi Sheng to take 3,000 Khotanese light horsemen to escort Gao Yunzhou to investigate. On the way, they encountered Wei Boyu and his party, who were galloping wildly, and learned that King Sheng was dead, and Feng Changqing speculated that the rebels had infiltrated Gyeonggi from Wuguan Province and decided to go south for reinforcements.

"Ge Shuhan......" Lu Qi, who had always been suspicious, fell into deep thought.

"Could it be that ......" did not sympathize with the soldiers to seize the stone castle and the communiqué personal vendetta and framed An Sishun, which made Wang Fei have no confidence in Ge Shuhan's character, and he had a falling out with his former benefactor Yang Guozhong some time ago.

Faced with the increasingly complex and profound situation of continuous internal and external troubles, the anxious Wang Fei became more and more uneasy about the riots in Chang'an City. In order to facilitate Ayi Tenggena and others to understand the latest situation in a timely manner, after being reminded by Lu Qi, Wang Fei calculated the time and speculated that Ayi Tenggena should be near Baisun Courtyard, so he used flying pigeons to send a message, asking everyone in the city to find a way to inform Li Mi and Gao Lishi of the shocking secret that Tongguan had not been lost as soon as possible.

After the carrier pigeon was issued, Wang Fei, who was still relieved, heard from Wei Boyu's words that Feng Changqing hoped that Gao Yunzhou would return to Chang'an and stay away from danger. But Gao Yunzhou was worried about his father's safety and insisted on going to Lantian. Wang Fei had an idea, concisely and concisely sorted out the chaos in Gyeonggi to Gao Yunzhou, and urged him to pretend to be the envoy of Tongguan Lubu to report the victory, and return to Chang'an to declare that Ge Shuhan had repelled the rebel attack in order to quell the turmoil in the city and save millions of people.

Wei Chisheng, who knew the meaning of the strings and songs, immediately understood Wang Fei's painstaking intentions, and put on the posture of an elder to coax and persuade, and Wei Boyu also helped beat the side drum, and finally persuaded the stubborn Gao Yunzhou to return to the city.

However, Gao Yunzhou refused to let Wei Boyu escort him on the grounds that his father was in a dangerous place, and insisted that he lead Anxi Ya's soldiers to the south with Wei Chi Sheng and Wang Fei.

Seeing that Gao Yunzhou's filial piety was commendable, Wei Chi Sheng nodded in agreement with his request, and sent ten Khotanese light horsemen to protect him back to the city.

After the Suye army and 3,000 Khotanese light cavalry joined forces, they galloped and went straight to Lantian Pass. Due to the slightly slower speed of the chariot regiment, Wang Fei led 200 tooth soldiers, 400 scouts and 600 light and heavy cavalry to advance with Khotanese soldiers and horses, and the remaining more than 1,000 infantry battalions, engineer battalions, and medical battalion soldiers were led by Lei Wanchun and Liu Xiao respectively, and followed behind.

When approaching the county seat of Lantian County, the scouts who were going forward to reconnoiter came with the news that a large number of rebels had broken through Lantian Pass and were besieging the Gao Xianzhi Department who were fighting against the city.

"Fei Langjun, the rebels are powerful, you have to plan and then move." Lu Qi advised Wang Fei to be cautious, but for a time there was no good way to break the enemy.

"The envoy of the Fei army, I can't control where the Suye army goes, but Gao Shumi is my closest relative, in public and private, and the soldiers and horses in Khotan will not sit back and watch him stay in the lonely city." Wei Chisheng, who has a straightforward personality, expressed dissatisfaction with Su Yejun's hesitation.

"Your Royal Highness Wei Chi, the rebel army is in full swing, and it may be difficult for you and my second army to save Gao Shumi and Feng Jieshuai from fire and water, let alone annihilate the rebels and pacify Gyeonggi." Li Sheng explained: "In a certain opinion, only by finding reinforcements can we recapture Lantian Pass and block the way for the rebels to invade the west." ”
