Chapter 106: The Long River Freezes Hu Manchuan (12)

"No!" Wei Boyu had no choice but to receive the order, he was about to urge the horse to leave, but he heard Wang Fei say: "Wei Beijiang, it stands to reason that he should lead troops to defend the eastern capital with Feng Jieshuai and resist strong enemies." It's just that the Suye army has suffered heavy casualties and its morale is exhausted, so I will return to Heyang to rest first. Please tell the commander that the gate of the eastern capital has been lost, and it may be difficult to hold on, so evacuate the people as soon as possible; Although Heyang is small and the city defense is very solid, the Suye army will never withdraw before the sealing of the commander. ”

"Thank you, Fei Lang-kun!"

"Wei Bei will come alone to save him, great kindness, a toothless unforgettable." Wang Fei raised his arms with difficulty to thank him.

"I don't have an inch, so I don't dare to receive the gratitude of Fei Langjun." Wei Boyu held Wang Fei's arms and was full of emotion. He naturally hoped that the Su Ye Army and the Longyou Army could join forces with the Anxi soldiers and horses to fight the rebels. However, after this battle of Luochuan, Wei Boyu also knew that the Longyou army was not very sincere, and the suspicion between Feng Jieshuai and Fei Langjun had been born.

After Wei Boyu joined the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and left, Nan Jiyun asked quietly: "Feng Jie Shuai lost his troops and lost his generals, and the eastern capital is easy to attack and difficult to defend, why don't you invite him to defend Heyang together?" ”

"Captain Nan, as a general, has no distractions, only obeys orders and charges into battle; As a handsome person, if you don't know the direction of the temple, even if you win a hundred battles, you will be in trouble. Since Taizong Ping Wang Shichong, for more than 100 years, Luoyang has never experienced war. How could Feng Jieshuai be the first person in the dynasty to lose the eastern capital. Even if you can't hold it, you have to fight hard, and you must not give it up, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to the saints. Lu Qi explained in a low voice the twists and turns.

"Forget it, so-and-so is still honestly a military general who destroys the front, let Fei Langjun send it." Nan Jiyun said with a smile.

"Labor and resentment, hugging the pillar and slandering, no one can stand it. If it weren't for that, according to Fei Langjun's heart, he would definitely know that he couldn't do it, and he would volunteer to stick to the lonely city. Now that he has preserved his strength and retreated to Heyang, Fei Langjun has to ...... three flavors" These words Lu Yi hid in his heart, and naturally he would not say them to Nan Jiyun.

The three rivers and the north are chaotic, and the four seas are like Yongjia.

At noon on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth month of the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754), 100,000 rebels broke through the military prison pass, and approached Luoyang City with murderous spirit.

The vanguard of the rebel army was 30,000 elite soldiers led by Cui Qianyou, and Tian Chenghe's 10,000 remnants of soldiers came with him.

Before the rebels arrived, the city of Luoyang was already in disarray, and the officials were scattered, or went west to Shaanzhou and Tongguan, or south to Nanyang and Xiangyang, or north to Huaizhou and Hedong. In just a few hours, the market in Xiongcheng, with a population of one million, was empty.

After Feng Changqing returned to Luoyang, he gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, defended the city, and fought with Cui Qianyou at the upper east gate. Unexpectedly, when the rebels captured Wujiao Pass, they captured a lot of counterweight stone cannons, and hundreds of cannons were fired together, falling rocks like rain, and the Tang army was unable to support and retreated to the imperial city. The two armies of Longyou and Suye, who were stationed in Heyang, went out of the city with fine horses, fought for a while, and after accepting part of the defeated army into the city, they closed their doors again.

Cui Qianyou ordered Tian Chengji to lead his troops to monitor Heyang, and he himself led his troops into Luoyang. After a fierce battle for half a day, Feng Changqing was defeated again, withdrew from the palace, put down the giant trees that had been prepared, and threw thistles to stop the pursuit of the rebel cavalry.

Tian Chenghe, who wanted to take revenge, used a counterweight stone cannon to besiege the southern city of Heyang, but the rebels initially used a counterweight stone cannon, which was not very skilled, and was not in charge of the Ye army, so the range and rate of fire were slightly inferior to the Su Ye army. Tian Chengsi attacked for half a day, but there was no progress, so he had to collect his troops and return to the camp and return with hatred.

Wang Fei confirmed that Feng Changqing, Da Xixun, Wei Boyu and others had abandoned the city and fled westward, so he burned the Heyang Bridge and escorted the people of Luoyang north to Huaizhou with Wang Sili.

When he was ambushed by Tian Chengsi on the south bank of Luoshui, Wang Fei was worried that he would not be able to retreat calmly when Luoyang was lost, so he asked Ashina Wenxia to rush to Heyang, and ordered Liu Xiao to race against time to repair the north bridge of Heyang, and sent troops to sweep away the two hundred-man teams left by Tian Chengsi on the north bank of the Dahe River, and captured nearly 10,000 war horses of the rebels. The re-opened Heyang Bridge became a thoroughfare for the evacuation of the Luoyang people, and the rebels' mounts became the support of the Suye army to get rid of the rebels' pursuit.

When Feng Changqing retreated to Shaanzhou with 10,000 remnants, he happened to meet Gao Xianzhi, who led 5,000 Longwu troops to rush to the aid after hearing the news. The two inspected the soldiers and horses, judged the situation, and knew that Shaanzhou could not be held, so they joined forces and guarded Tongguan.

After Cui Qianyou cleared the road, he kept chasing after him. By the time he arrived at Tongguan, Gao Feng and the others had repaired the guards and strengthened the barriers. Although there were counterweight stone cannons to help, the rebels could not give a fatal blow to the majestic and steep Xiongguan, and on the 29th of the lunar month, dozens of counterweight stone cannons produced by Suyeju arrived at Tongguan, Cui Qianyou had to retreat to Shaanzhou and postpone the attack on Tongguan.

The eastern capital fell to the world, and Huma turned over Luoyang grass.

Li Longji, who had high hopes for Feng Changqing, was furious and wanted to die, but because of Gao Xianzhi's bloody pleas and Li Mi's persuasion, he was instead stripped of all official positions of Feng Changqing, leaving only the lord and ordering him to serve under Gao Xianzhi as a staff member. As for Da Xixun, the sage did not make a big mistake in reciting him, and only reprimanded him a few words before allowing him to beg for bones.

Gao Xianzhi was implicated by Changqing, and was dismissed by the sage from the dispatch of the Tongguan defense envoy, and returned to Huazhou Daying to assist Counselor Li Qi, the king of Sheng, in the military aircraft. Ge Shuhan, who had improved his leg disease, was appointed as the envoy of Longyou and Fan Yang Jiedu, replacing Gao Xianzhi to guard Tongguan.

Geshu Hanke Stone Castle, Fu Jiuqu, the prestige is not under Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing. However, the rebels were too violent, and the impact of the fall of the eastern capital was too terrifying, so Ge Shuhan went out of the town of Tongguan and did not calm the shock of the Chang'an government and the opposition, and the people in Chang'an City were panicked, and the civil and military officials were uneasy.

The right minister Yang Guozhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't come up with a countermeasure; Zuo Xiang Chen. Xilie is only submissive, and it does not help; Zhang Jun was not a general, he only said that he would send troops to stabilize Gyeonggi, but he didn't know where the troops came from and where they would be transferred; Jingzhao Yin Xianyu talked about things on a case-by-case basis and suggested strengthening the curfew in Chang'an; King Sheng and Gao Xianzhi jointly folded their names, and since Chen knew that the person was unknown, they folded it up, and asked the saint to surrender his guilt.

There was a sudden increase in the discussion of the "Qingjun side" in the neighborhood, and some people even posted notices privately, begging the saint to punish the "mistake" in order to appease the secluded and border generals. Yang Guozhong was so angry that he was smoking, and he was rarely ordered to arrest the officials of Jingzhao Mansion everywhere, but he couldn't stop Youyou's mouth.

Li Ren, a member of the Zhongshu Society, attacked Wang Fei, the envoy of the Suye army, saying that he intended to cross the river with the enemy, but he was actually the culprit in the fall of the Eastern Capital. On the way back to Jiangzhou, Wang Fei had not yet had time to defend himself, and Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Wang Sili and others successively played chapters, detailing Tian Chenghe's strategy of crossing the river, and detailing the tragedy of the first battle after the Suye army was broken. Even Bian Lingcheng, who was the first to return to Tongguan, also secretly reported to Gao Lishi to defend Wang Fei. Li Longji then left Li Renzhi's piece in the middle and did not send it.

In the wilderness, only the king of Jianning is sparse, and he is willing to go to the front line of Tongguan with his family, personally lead the soldiers and horses, and share the worries of the country. Li Longji was noncommittal about King Jianning's recital.

When the scorpion was boiling, Su Yeju learned that Wang Fei was injured and Su Yejun had lost nearly a thousand, and people's hearts were in turmoil.

Aitenggna, who stayed in Chang'an, immediately made a decision and ordered Bakut to take his guards to arrest a few talkative people and severely punish them to stabilize the situation.

When Ashina Xiaoyun learned of this, he praised and sighed, and went to Jinchengfang to visit Aitenggna. When she arrived, she frowned when she saw her holding a note from Yizhou.

"The Yizhou branch recently found out that Ren Haichuan was actually killed by Duan Daluo!? Why did the prince help Yang Guozhong at that time? Although it had only been a few months, Ashina Xiaoyun remembered that Duan Dala had been separated from each other.

"Before An Lushan raised his troops, the whereabouts of the East Palace were very strange." Ayitengna had a faint understanding, but there was no conclusive evidence, she didn't dare to say: "Sister Xiaoyun, how is the palace recently?" ”

"The palace is quite calm, and there is no major incident, but I heard that a little yellow door beside Gao Weng has recently made a generous move." Ashina Xiaoyun can enter and exit the palace freely, so Wang Fei asked her to pay attention to the movements in the palace.

"There may be something strange about this matter...... "Aitengnati wrote down the name of the little yellow door.

After Ashina Xiaoyun left, Ai Tenggena dug out the secret letter sent by her brother two days ago. In the letter, Kudulu briefly mentioned that the black-clothed Dashi was raising troops to besiege the white-clothed royal city of Damascus, but Aitenggana was more concerned about the aura of the fierce soldiers and horses revealed between the lines of her brother's words.

"Can so-and-so return to Shattered Leaf City?" Thinking of her hometown, Aitengna burst into tears.

The clouds are miserable and bleak.

On the first day of the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), the great dynasty that should have been solemn, festive and peaceful will become cold and lifeless due to the defeat of Luoyang.

The Hui envoy was still respectful on his face, and secretly began to question whether the Tang army could quell the rebellion, and speculated about when An Lushan would invade Chang'an. As for the matter of finding the children of the Tang Sect for Princess Viga, it is natural to put it aside.

According to Towlero's observations, the admiration of the vassal envoys for the Heavenly Khan was more or less diminished, and the gloating Tibetan envoy Enlan Dazarugon showed mockery without any scruples.

Lubu until the Son of Heaven, the palace moved Long Yanyi.

When perched and dwelt, outside the Daming Palace, a horse suddenly sent two copies of Jiejielubu, Li Longji was relieved after reading it, and ordered Gao Lishi to read.

The first good news came from Hedong, on the 24th of the lunar month, Anqingzong led 30,000 Hedong rebels to besiege Jiangzhou, trying to open the way to the south and coerce Guanzhong. But he didn't know that his every move had already been secretly reported to Wang Zhengjian by the Hedong family loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Zhengjian, who had been on guard for a long time, set up an ambush in the valley where Anqingzong must pass, and at the same time sent Wang Yong, the envoy of Beiting, and his wife Su Sanniang to lead more than 100 elite soldiers to infiltrate Taiyuan in disguise to contact wealthy families, relatives and friends who were dissatisfied with Anqingzong.

The Anqing sect that was ambushed lost more than half of its troops, and fled north in panic, and Wang Zhengjian pursued it with victory and followed behind. After escaping back to Taiyuan City, An Qingzong hurriedly recruited strong men to prevent Wang Zhengjian from attacking the city, but he did not know that the rebels who stayed in Taiyuan had been wiped out by the wealthy troops organized by Wang Yong. Except for a small number of remnants of Anqingzong who fled back to Yanmen Pass, the rest were captured by Wang Zhengjian.

The second piece of the recital came from Shuofang, and Li Guangbi's report statement stated that Shuofang's army, with a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses from Tongluo, Fugu, and Dangxiang, had defeated Gao Xiuyan's troops at Wuzhoucheng (now Zuoyun, Shanxi) on the 29th of the lunar month, beheaded 2,000, and was about to besiege Yunzhou.

After Gao Lishi read the good news, the court meeting was thunderous, and the ministers knelt down to congratulate, and the panic caused by the loss of the eastern capital was swept away. Gao Lishi, who quietly retreated to the side of the imperial couch, quietly wiped the cold sweat on his face.

In fact, two days before the good news, the military supervisor had secretly reported to the imperial front, and the sage had planned to immediately announce to the world and boost morale, but Li Mi had a special opportunity to perform a good show at the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting, to deter the ill-intentioned Tibetan envoys, and to gather envoys from various vassal states.

After the ministers congratulated, King Jianning suddenly left the table and begged the saint for permission to go to the front. The sage hesitated again and again, but agreed to Li Qi's request, but did not allow him to go to Tongguan, but made him the defense envoy of the northern capital to assist Wang Zhengjian in pacifying Hedong.

Familiar with the tactics of the court dispute, Leluo is convinced that the self-recommendation of King Mao Sui of Jianning is a far-sighted move of the East Palace, and the battle for the heir within the Tang Dynasty will continue with the twists and turns of the counterinsurgency war. The prince is dormant, but he still has the power to fight back.

However, Li Qi's heroic spirit still moved Lero. The Mobei boys are not the rectum of the Wucheng Mansion, but what they admire most are the heroes and heroes who stand up to the sky and the earth, and the majestic mountains and rivers, rather than the petty people who are full of intrigue and trickery.

In an instant, he suddenly realized that King Jianning was the son-in-law of Princess Viga, but he also knew that Li Qi had married the daughter of Wang Zhengjian, and it was reported that Wang Fei was pregnant, and he thought that the khan would not marry his beloved daughter to a grandson who had no hope of inheriting the unification as a side room.

Ten days later, after completing the mission, Lu Leluo set off to leave Chang'an, during which 15,000 Longyou Army and 30,000 Hexi Army gathered in Tongguan under the leadership of Huoba Guiren and Dong Yanguang. When 16,000 elite soldiers from Beiting, Anxi, Hezhong and Huangjiasi arrived in Gyeonggi, the Tang Dynasty and the opposition rekindled their ambition to recover the eastern capital and quell the rebellion.

An Qingzong, who was quickly escorted into Beijing, was shown to the public by the Heavenly Khan, and the morale of the rebels who had been attacking Tongguan for a long time was depressed.

Wang Zhengjian's recovery of Taiyuan made the officials in the occupied areas of Hebei and Henan see the light of day. Under the leadership of Changshan Taishou Yan Zhenqing and Zhending Taishou Yan Zhenqing, the counties raised troops one after another, and the rebels faced the risk of being cut off from the back road, and the joy of capturing Luoyang was gone.

An Lushan, who was angry, angrily reprimanded Gao Gao for tempting him to raise troops, but as a result, he fell into the field of suffering from the enemy on his back and losing his son in middle age. If it weren't for Tian Qian's hard persuasion, An Lushan would have almost wielded a knife to kill Gao Shang. When the chickens and dogs were jumping, Tian Chengsi brought a Sogdian merchant into the palace and said that he had something important to report.

Where is the wind in the river, the old people meet in the sky.

A few miles after crossing the Wei Bridge, a cavalry suddenly came to him, and the person at the head was gentle and elegant, and he was the protector of the Gloro Department.

"Gesar Apo, don't come unharmed?" The polite Mou Ra Sihan is full of spring breeze.
