"There may be a change in Geshuhan, but His Royal Highness sent an edict to go on the expedition, isn't it just to recover Tongguan? His Royal Highness made this special achievement as soon as he set out on the expedition, which is comparable to Emperor Taizong! Pei Cheng was the first to react.

"Yes!" Li Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, and raised his arms and shouted: "The ancestors and the ancestors bless, the enemy will give the head, Tongguan is safe and sound, and everyone will be rewarded for those who go out with a certain expedition!" ”

"His Highness Chitose!" The overjoyed Beiya Forbidden Army was excited.

"The class teacher returns to Beijing and meets His Majesty!" Li Heng was triumphant, he seemed to travel through time and space, and experienced Taizong's mood of sucking Gaozu's milk and mourning for a long time.

By the time Li Heng returned, the chaotic city of Chang'an had been calmed down by two successive good news and a long-lost peace fire, and many people knelt on the streets to celebrate the prince's "triumph".

"Stupid Qiantou, I don't know that the joys and sorrows are all controlled by me." Li Heng felt the pleasure of ruling the world and controlling the people.

But the unbridled pleasure of Wang Yang only lasted for a moment, and it was shattered by the cold copper wall. Before leaving Beijing, Li Heng deliberately left Chen Xuanli, Li Jingzhong and others to lead the Longwu army to besiege the Daming Palace in the name of Gongwei, he wanted to bring the "big victory" to force Li Longji to Zen position, but it was only a few hours of effort, the defense line of the Longwu Forbidden Army besieging the Daming Palace was actually cut open by the Shatuo Army and the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

Chen Xuanli was worried about the change of attack and defense, and was surrounded by the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, so he had to retreat to the West Inner Garden in the north of Taiji Palace, and confronted Zhang Shouyu, Gu Duzhi, Tong Luo Puli and other generals. As soon as the Long Wu army retreated slightly, the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army went out of Danfeng Gate to disperse the mob that was fishing in troubled waters and taking the opportunity to make trouble, and Gao Lishi personally came forward to read the edict of the saint and persuade the children of the clan and court officials to return home.

Seeing that the prince's flag was victorious and Tongguan was safe and sound, there was no reason to gather outside the palace again, and they dispersed in twos and threes, and the palace ban, which had been trapped by the turbulent public opinion all night, finally regained some of its former majesty.

"Bastard, there are only a thousand horsemen stationed in the Shatuo Department in the western suburbs, how can they set off such a storm!?" Li Heng, who was temporarily rerouted to Xineiyuan, was inconvenient to get angry at his ally Chen Xuanli, so he had to pour his anger on Li Jingzhong.

"Heavenly Thunder!" Li Jingzhong cried wolf: "Your Highness, there are warlocks in the Suye Army who are proficient in demon magic, and wherever they pass, lightning and thunder roar!" ”

"Hex?!" Li Heng was confused.

"Your Highness, the Suye Dart Master who came with the Shatuo Department suddenly threw out an iron ball the size of a hundred cold melons, which exploded when it landed, and its sound was like thunder, and it was either dead or injured within a few feet. The sons had never seen this thing before, and they were so shocked that they were attacked by it. Chen Xuanli explained.

"Is there such a thing in the world?!" Li Heng will be skeptical.

"Wang Fei doesn't know the severity, what's even more odious is that the soldiers in the backyard of the North Court also came in the name of King Qin to expel the Longwu Forbidden ......Army," Li Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Highness, I tried my best to persuade the soldiers and horses in the backyard of Beiting to retreat, but ...... But they said that they were ordered by their father to serve the king, and they didn't listen to my advice at all...... "Wang Jue, who was expecting Ai Ai, looked ashamed.

"Hateful ......" Li Heng smashed his fist on the pear tree made of jade, and the petals fell like snow.

The vicious rain and waves are piled up, and the undercurrent is swirling.

When the sword rattling in the north city was tense, and it was difficult for the prince to ride a tiger, in the Suyeju courtyard by the Qujiang Pond in the south of the city, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Quan, Ashina Jiang, Gao Yunfan, Gao Yunxi, Wang Fei, Shen Pearl and others survived a long night in fear. Among the group, only Ayi Tenggena was always calm and calm, while Liu Xiaofei held a sword in the vestibule of the courtyard for a night, protecting everyone.

They were waiting outside the Daming Palace for Ashina Wenxia to enter the palace and bring the Suye County Lord out, and they went to the Suye Manor in the western suburbs. Unexpectedly, after the Ashina sisters discussed with Ayi Tenggna, they temporarily changed their hexagrams, and asked Cao Senjun, the guard of the left prison gate, to help everyone go to the palace and ban the city, away from the chaotic northern city, and hide in the Qujiang Courtyard.

During this period, there were clusters of cars and horses outside the courtyard and the sound of seeing off, and the deaf and clear-sighted Mrs. Li faintly noticed that this trip was a bit strange, Xiaoyun, Wenxia and Aitenggana seemed to be hiding something, otherwise why bother to change the route for no reason, and the soldiers and horses that should have escorted everyone still went west. But the little ladies were silent, and Mrs. Li was inconvenient to ask, after all, she was more concerned about the safety of her children at the moment.

What Mrs. Li didn't know was that the eldest daughter had arrived safely at Suye Manor, but the concubine Ashina Wenxia was kidnapped by Li Dingbang and went north, getting farther and farther away from Chang'an City......

On the way north, Li Dingbang joined the soldiers and horses in the backyard of Hezhong and received the latest secret letter from Tuozhi City.

"Congratulations little lady, you have a younger brother." Li Dingbang handed the secret letter to the grief-stricken Ashina Wenxia: "Mrs. Ashid is overjoyed, and the commander ordered a certain person to return to Tuozhi City as soon as possible......"

"That Ji Ang ......"

"The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, since Ji Ang Langjun is determined to stay in Chang'an, he can only go with him, but when he suffers in the future, I don't know if Ji Ang Langjun will regret it." Li Dingbang said helplessly.

"Father's ......" Ashina Wenxia burst into tears, not knowing whether she was happy for her younger brother to get what he wanted, or sad for her father's unkindness and hard heart. But no matter what, my father is always the person who loves him the most in the world......

At noon on the fourth day of the first month of March, when Wang Sili went upriver and arrived at the Pujin ferry, he found that Nan Jiyun, the captain of the Suye Military Academy, had already crossed the river one step ahead and occupied the ferries on both sides of the river.

The two armies began to confront each other, but they were extremely cautious and did not engage troops. Two days later, Wang Zhengjian, under the escort of Ma Lu, led 500 light horsemen to Pujindu, entered Gyeonggi, and went straight to Chang'an. Nanjiyun immediately retreated to the east bank of the river and returned the ferry on the west bank to the Longyou army.

At this time, the confrontation between the saint and the crown prince has been in an uproar, and the world knows it, but the two sides have not completely torn their faces. The saint claimed to have been disturbed by the mob and was in bed to recuperate; The crown prince said that he was injured in a horse on the way out and was recuperating in the East Palace. Father and son, king and minister, do not see each other, but the soldiers and horses inside and outside the palace are all waiting for each other, not daring to be the slightest sloppy, but the strength of the two armies is equal, each has its own scruples, and between the eagerness, they can't help each other.

The saint and the East Palace openly wrestled, which made the world look sideways, and millions of people in Chang'an City were worried day and night, wondering how this drama would end, and whether the rebels would take advantage of the chaos to storm Tongguan again, so that the body of Mrs. Qiuguo appeared in Qujiangchi, Shouwang Li Mao was frightened and died of illness and other earth-shattering news on weekdays, but few people paid attention to it.

The Hui, Tubo, Nanzhao and other ministries have heard about the chaos in Chang'an City, and they are overjoyed. After fleeing from Chang'an, the Tibetan envoy Enlan Dazarugong, who witnessed the night of the coup, looked back to the east: "The internal strife in the Tang Dynasty continues, and the day of recovering Jiuqu and conquering the stone fort is not far away!" ”

Seeing that the situation was hot, Ge Shuhan retreated to Tongguan on the grounds that the rebels were constantly attacking and harassing him, and the prince understood that the opportunity to force the saint to abdicate had passed, and he also dispelled the idea of letting him go to Beijing to help. Cui Yuan, who temporarily guarded Lantian Pass, reorganized his troops and horses, and was eager to try to recover Wuguan, and he continued to receive good news every day, as if the sword and sword shadow in the city had nothing to do with it.

Li Guangbi, who was far away in Yunzhou, received an edict from King Qin and wanted to return to Beijing, but Guo Ziyi, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, reported urgently that there were many changes in the Hui Khanate in the north of Lingzhou, and on the sixth day of the first month of March, he brazenly dispatched thousands of soldiers and horses to break into the border pretending to be horse bandits, and returned to Mobei with several caravans. Li Guangbi heard the song and knew the meaning of the song, and was busy reporting the border military situation to the saint and the prince, and said that the Shuofang army was sandwiched between the Yunzhou rebels and the Hui army, and the situation was grim and could not be moved lightly.

Wang Fei, the military envoy of Suye Army, who has repeatedly achieved good results, is said to have led the army to help the prince and rescue Tongguan, but there was no movement after that. Some people say that he was placed under house arrest by Geshuhan, while others say that he was worried that the rebels would attack the city and stayed in Tongguan to repair the ordnance......

Among the border commanders with heavy troops, only Wang Zhengjian returned to Chang'an without hesitation before the arrival of King Qin's edict and jumped into the bottomless whirlpool of court contention. After entering Beijing, Wang Zhengjian entered the palace alone to face the saint, and after a long talk with Li Longji for a long time, he went to the East Palace to meet Li Heng.

On that day, bad news came from Lantian City, and the seriously injured privy envoy Gao Xianzhi died. At that time, the righteous deeds of the second general Gao Feng to guard Lantian alone and retreat from the rebels have been known all over the world by Su Yeju and Gongsun Men, and the people of Chang'an all feel their kindness and cry!

Li Longji issued an edict to abolish the dynasty for three days, mourned for it, and posthumously presented Gao Xianzhi as the king of Yingzhou County, Feng Changqing Puguo Gong, Gao Yunzhou as the general of Yunlu, and Enyin Gao Yunfan as the general of Xuanwei from Sipin, and ordered the prince to go to Lantian to worship.

Li Heng immediately left the city after receiving the edict, and the imminent situation in Chang'an City immediately melted.

Before Li Heng arrived in Lantian, Li Longji's second edict followed, ordering him to pay homage to Gao Xianzhi and then move to Huazhou to take charge of counterinsurgency. Wang Zhengjian recommended Ge Shuhan to serve as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses and the defense envoy of Tongguan to help the prince quell the rebellion.

On the day that Ge Shuhan received the edict, Su Yejun's envoy Wang Fei quietly led his troops to leave Tongguan and go to the western suburbs to rest.

"I don't know the way to advance and retreat, I don't know the art of self-preservation, Wang Zheng sees that the death of his father and son is not far away!" Ge Shuhan looked at the Suye Military Banner in the distance, and sneered: "Taiyuan Wang's family, the number of qi is exhausted!" ”

After Li Heng arrived in Huazhou, he immediately played a performance, and asked the sage to seize Guo Ziyi, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, Cui Yuan, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, as the envoy of Jiedu, and Yuan Zai, the judge of the North Court, as the deputy protector of the capital, and exempt Wang Zheng, the envoy of Beiting and Hedong Jiedu, from being sent by Hedong to concurrently serve as the Jianghuai defense envoy, so as to recover Wuguan as soon as possible and open up the channel for Jianghuai to transfer finance, taxation, grain and grass to Gyeonggi.

Clear rewards and punishments are the way to govern. As soon as Li Hengfu took over the military affairs of counterinsurgency, in addition to asking for rewards for meritorious officials, he severely punished those who committed wrongdoing. Li Heng, as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, strictly ordered the armies of Longyou, Hexi, Beiting, Anxi, and Hezhong to arrest the two thieves. Ashina Yang was not effective in recommending King Qin's soldiers and horses, and was fined by Li Heng for half a year.

Since Youyan's rebellion, the army gathered in Gyeonggi, and people ate horses and chewed horses, which cost a lot. Hebei, Henan, and Hedong, which were the most important places for the imperial court, fell or were broken, although Shuzhong did not have the war, but in order to prevent the invasion of Tubo and Nanzhao, the grain and grass that could transport Chang'an were very limited, only Jianghuai was as rich as in the past, and the money and grain from the southeast suddenly became the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty.

The sage knew that it was urgent to recover Wuguan, not only played by the quasi-prince, but also enshrined Li Luan, the Yongwang who had the closest relationship with Li Heng, as the governor of Jiangling, and ordered him to go to Jianghuai through Shu Road, raise soldiers and horses, and attack the Wuguan rebels with Wang Zhengjian.

Li Lan entered the palace to meet the saint before leaving, and the father and son talked for a long time in the Lin De Palace, talking about Li Mao, the longevity king who died of illness, and Li Qi, the sheng king who died under the chaotic saber, they all wept bitterly.

It is not only his father and brother who mourn for King Sheng, but also the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu and Shi Siming, who knows the future affairs, but after King Sheng, he knew that there was no hope for the dragon, so he broke off his attachment to the Tang court, claiming that the prince violated human ethics and forced his father to kill his brother, and swore to go south to cleanse the king's side. In Chang'an City, rumors that King Sheng died at the hands of the crown prince also arose, which greatly annoyed Li Heng. The Longwu Forbidden Army hunted everywhere, but they couldn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

However, in order to paralyze the court and leave a way out for himself, Shi Siming raised troops and sent someone to secretly play Li Longji, since Chen had to rebel, because the eldest son Shi Chaoyi fell into the hands of An Lushan, he had to be false and wronged.

The Pinglu army and the Fanyang rebels were in the same stream and marched south, and the Beiting army, which bore the brunt of the attack, had to relieve the siege of Changsan and return to Gyeonggi via Hedong.

Tian Chenghe, who had been besieged for many days, did not wait for a rest, and immediately joined the Pinglu army that was heading south, swept through Hebei counties, and restored the communication between Youzhou and Luoyang. Fortunately, Wang Zhengjian had warned the Yan brothers in advance, and most of the Hebei rebels followed Li Qi, the king of Jianning, to enter Jingcheng westward, relying on the mountains and rivers of Hedong and the passes, to temporarily stop the rebels' westward advance.

After Shi Siming arrived in Luoyang, he accompanied An Lushan, who was pot-bellied and confused, to check outside Tongguan for a long time, and bluntly said that it was not easy to storm the dangerous pass, and if he wanted to defeat Tang Ting, he needed to find another way.

When the war in the Central Plains was full of ups and downs, thousands of miles away in the river, Kudulu personally led tens of thousands of light cavalry to blitz the Suye River Valley, and the soldiers pointed directly at the old capital of the Khanate, Broken Leaf City!
