The frost blade soars into the sky and the stars are dark, and the iron armor is dusty and the moonlight is cold.

At the end of the third month of the 14th year of Tianbao (755), at the end of the third month (more than 22 o'clock in the evening), accompanied by the sound of golden drums from far and near, Gao Xiangui, who was panting, drove his horse into Lantian City, which was full of blood and pestles, and was full of casualties.

"The chariot regiment of the Su Ye Army was actually attacked by someone, and Fei Langjun has never suffered such a big loss, right?" Gao Xiangui was thinking about it, and suddenly saw a broken Anxi military flag hunting in the night wind above the county office.

"How can my brother be in Lantian?" Gao Xiangui was stunned.

"Gao Si rank, Gao Shumi led more than 1,000 remnants of Huazhou to the south to defend Lantian, repelled the rebel attacks several times, and finally protected the city. Unexpectedly, when the reinforcements were about to arrive, Pinglu Bei General Shi Chaoyi suddenly plotted, Gao Shumi was seriously injured, and he was now being treated by Su Ye's military doctor. Zhang Yinglun explained the ins and outs in a few words: "Fei Langjun has just arrived at the county office and is waiting for the division at the door. ”

"The shaft is hateful!" Gao Xiangui's beard was all open, and his eyes were gnashing: "Feng Jieshuai's eyes are like torches, why didn't he see the true face of this fang!" ”

"In order to protect Gao Shumi, Feng Jieshuai has been ......killed by an arrow," Zhang Yinglun said gloomily: "General Wei has also been hit hard." ”

"Feng Jieshuai is ......" Gao Xiangui suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and tears burst into his heart: "Take a certain person to see my brother!" ”

The world hates life and death the most, and the iron-cast man also cries blood.

"Brother!" Gao Xiangui stepped into the dilapidated Lantian County Government and knelt down in front of Gao Xianzhi, who was still breathing.

On the side of the sickbed, Xue Yage, a trainee physician of Su Yejun who was sweating profusely, was doing his best to save Gao Xianzhi, who was like a hanging thread.

Gao Xianzhi didn't care about responding to the greetings of his clan brother, and grabbed Wang Fei's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Fei Langjun...... River ...... The soldiers and horses in the river made Li Dingbang ......"

Zeng Fenghua's peerless generation and the generation of famous generals in the west of the world are even vague at this moment.

"Li Dingbang colluded with the rebels to attack Huazhou, and a certain one is known." Wang Fei said urgently: "Gao Shumi, you will be at ease to nourish your body." ”

"Lantian Guan ......" Gao Xianzhi was full of anxiety.

"Don't worry, Deputy Envoy Cui and Li Sheng have led troops to expel the remnants of the enemy, thanks to the bloody and hard battle of the Privy Council, the rebels are exhausted, and the Jiannan Army is chasing the north to recover Lantian Pass." Wang Fei hurriedly said with relief.

When the rebels conquered Lantian County, he and Cui Yuan arrived in time, and 10,000 Jiannan elites under the leadership of Li Sheng discharged the crane wing formation, down the mountain tigers, out of the sea Jiaolong, from west to east suddenly into the battlefield that had been fighting for a long time. The crane's beaks of the crossbowmen rained a dense stream of arrows at the exhausted rebel light cavalry, while the cavalry flanks broke through the layers of barriers like a whirlwind, piercing the center of the enemy line in an attempt to encircle the enemy general.

Li Sheng single-handedly trained the Zhenyuan cavalry team to be tempered by the battle in Jiannan, very strong, they and the Suye Ya soldiers respectively served as the wingtips of the crane wing array, with one as ten, the horse rushed, forced back the people and horses lacked of dragged down the river, and after lifting the siege of Lantian to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Tongguan ...... Tongguan ......" The melancholy on Gao Xianzhi's face did not lessen.

"Tongguan?!" Wang Fei and Lu Qi looked at each other.

"Brother, on the way to Lantian Road, I happened to meet Yunzhou who returned to the city to report the victory, isn't Tongguan safe and sound?" Gao Xiangui, who had calmed down a little, finally interjected.

"Yunzhou ......" Hearing that Gao Yunzhou had returned to Chang'an, his face was bloodless, and Gao Xianzhi's face was flushed with a hint of joy.

"Chang'an City rumors Tongguan lost, chaos, Wuyang Mansion was burned by the mob, Daming Palace was also surrounded by the group, Mr. Li was ordered by the Holy Will, Beiting Wang Duhu, Shuofang Li Jieshuai, Anxi Xi Deputy Envoy, Jiannan Cui Deputy Envoy, Longyou Liu Polu, Sha Tuo Gu Du Zhi and other troops into Beijing Qin Wang. But when I came along the way, I saw a lot of robes who went out of the city to investigate the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army were attacked and killed. Gao Xiangui couldn't cry: "Brother, there is turmoil outside Chang'an City, and you can't do without you to help the danger and chaos, and assist the saints!" ”

Although Wang Fei had expected that Li Heng, who was eager to ascend to the throne, would do whatever it took to cut off Li Longji's contact with the outside of the palace, he couldn't help frowning when he heard that the warriors who were supposed to gallop on the battlefield died innocently: "Jian'er hates to die on the battlefield......

Without waiting for Wang Fei to finish the poem, Gao Xianzhi, who was pale, suddenly coughed up blood, and the turbid blood foam stained Gao Xiangui's armor red.

"With the care of Little Lady Xue, Gao Shumi will definitely turn the corner from danger to safety." Lu Qi tugged at Wang Fei's sleeve and helped Gao Xiangui up hard: "Xiangui Langjun, I heard that you were ordered to go out of the city?" ”

"I almost forgot!" Gao Xiangui, who was worried, couldn't wipe the bloodstains, and hurriedly took out the edict and handed it to Wang Fei: "The sage also ordered the Suye army to enter Beijing to escort King Qin. ”

"Qinwang ......" Wang Fei smiled bitterly, the Suye army had just encountered a sneak attack by thousands of cavalry outside Lantian City, the chariot regiment suffered heavy casualties, and the losses of the armament of each battalion were not calculated.

"Brother Fei, I saw the Lord of Xiaoyun County before leaving Beijing, she was trapped in the Daming Palace because she accompanied the noble concubine lady......" Gao Yungui said in a low voice.

"Xiaoyun ......" Wang Fei thought that she had successfully retreated to the western suburbs manor, but there were complications: "No, I have to save her!"

"Don't worry, Fei Langjun, there is a ...... plan" Lu Qi was much calmer than Wang Fei, who was anxious and chaotic, and he had a faint feeling in his heart that Gao Yunzhou might not be able to enter Chang'an safely.

Wang Fei was about to listen, but when he saw Gao Xianzhi running through the sobs, he tried his best to shout, "Fei Langjun, Tongguan is in danger!" ”

The rain washes the mountain array, and the noisy willow camp.

The thousands of tenderness of the continuous spring rain can not wash away the spirit of soldiers who cannot fill the world and the earth. In the middle of the night on the third day of the first month of March, the war outside Lantian City stopped, and in the land of Youyan, in the north of Changshan (now Zhengding County, Hebei), the abrupt sound of rushing and killing broke the tranquility of the spring night.

Hundreds of rebels dressed in robes galloped into the Tang army camp, intending to surprise the Beiting army besieging Changshan City under the cover of a rainy night, but they were greeted by glistening spears and crossbow arrows.

"How stupid a thief is!" Yuan Zai, the judge of the North Court who accompanied Wang Zhengjian to watch the battle, sneered.

"Tian Chengsi is a thief's henchman, famous for his cunning in Hebei, and the Yuan judge must not underestimate the enemy." Wang Yong, who calmly commanded the soldiers to encircle and annihilate the rebels, reminded distractedly. The brave general of the white horse and silver armor, Ma Lu, has already taken the lead and wielded the enemy.

"When the field thief is decided, he will be decided, and he will not be defeated but not chaotic, and he should not be underestimated. But how did he know that there was a strange army hidden in our army? Jianning King Li Qi smiled and arched his hand to Su Sanniang. Before the Beiting Army came out of the well, there were already disciples of Gongsunmen who infiltrated Changshan City in disguise, so the Beiting Army knew the movements of the rebels in the city well.

"What is within the division, what is the matter. Hate only hate to slaughter Huaizhou Sangzi Tian Qianzhen is really not here, otherwise I will kill this thief! Su Sanniang, who was dressed in a strong suit, was full of murderous intent.

"That's not right!" Wang Zhengjian, who was contemplating the Beiting and Hedong Jiedu, suddenly said: "A certain Guantian Chenghei is quite disciplined in using soldiers, and never does it in vain. Attacking our army at night is probably a plan to attack the east and the west......"

Wang Zheng saw that before the words fell, the night sky in the south of the city suddenly lit up, and the candlelight sent a faint sound of fighting.

"Hebei Righteous Army! Fortunately, the festival commander was prepared. Wang Yong did not wait for Wang Zhengjian's order, immediately turned over his horse, and together with Li Ji, led two thousand light horsemen who had been rubbing their hands for a long time out of the camp and headed south.

"Be careful that there is an ambush halfway, I will accompany you!" Su Sanniang jumped on the purple horse, like an arrow from the string, and disappeared into the night.

"Father-in-law, most of the counties south of Changshan have been reversed and returned to the imperial court. Our army camped in the north of the city, guarding the key to Youzhou from Changshan. The thieves are trapped in the lonely city, and if they want to get out, they must go north, and at this moment, the old cloth maze is attacking the Hebei righteous army led by the Yan brothers in the south, isn't it the opposite of the south? Although Li Qi is the grandson of the emperor, he is very respectful to Wang Zhengjian, and the two get along in private, just like the son-in-law of ordinary people.

"Your Highness can know that Tian Chenghei has no intention of abandoning the city and fleeing." Wang Zheng saw the stroking beard and said.

"Please make it clear." King Jianning has the courage to take the lead, but after all, he is young, and he still lacks experience in fighting against the enemy and anticipating the enemy's victory.

"If His Highness is in charge of the army, what strategy should be used to quell Youyan's rebellion?" Wang Zhengjian's answer was very out-of-the-box.

"The commander of the army to quell the rebellion ......" King Jianning was stunned.

"Jie Shuai, now King Sheng is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and King Jianning is only ......"

Yuan Zai was interrupted by Wang Zhengjian before he finished speaking: "A certain question has nothing to do with the court situation, just to test the military strategy of His Royal Highness, and Judge Yuan is too worried." ”

"The two capitals of the east and west are the heart of the country, at the beginning of the year, the rebels fell into Luoyang, the four seas were turbulent, the world was in an uproar, the saints were shocked overnight, and the court and the court were all thinking of recovering the eastern capital." King Jianning did not express his opinion directly.

"Could it be that with the intention of His Royal Highness, he should gather heavy troops and go out of Tongguan and fight a decisive battle with the rebels in Heluo?"

"Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, go out of the customs to invite battle, abandon the long and short, it is not the work of the wise." King Jianning shook his head and said: "In a shallow view, Hedong looks at Heluo, and should strictly guard the Tongguan gate, divide the troops to recover Hanoi, and surprise attack the flank of Luoyang." ”

"It is not easy for His Highness to have such insight. But in a certain opinion, the Kenqing of quelling the rebellion is not in Heluo, nor in Hedong, but in Changshan. The nests of the rebels are all in Youyan; The elite of the thieves gathered in Sanchuan. From Youzhou to Luoyang, winding like a long snake, Changshan is the seven inches of the snake, the head and tail of the snake can not be taken into account when it is broken, the rebels who go south will be chaotic, and they will return to the north. Wang Zhengjian's vision is far from being comparable to that of King Jianning: "Tian Chengsi is the leading wise general under An Lushan, how can he not know that the battle of Changshan is related to the overall situation of the world." ”

King Jianning realized: "Could it be that the thieves don't plan to escape, but want to defend Changshan and wait for reinforcements?" ”

"The children can be taught! If Tian Chengsi spared his life to save his life, he could have fled all the way north to Youzhou, why should he be trapped in a lonely city? Wang Zheng smiled when he saw his beard: "An Lushan turned his back on Gangchang, committed chaos, and approached the beasts, but in all fairness, he was quite knowledgeable and able to use people's abilities, and won the hearts of the army." After Tian Chenghei became the gate, he received the grace of the country, but he was willing to support the rebels alone, regardless of his own safety, hateful, respectable and lamentable......"

"The grace of the thief is all stolen from the saint and the imperial court, why are Tian Chenghei and the others obsessed?" The king of Jianning was very confused.
