After listening to Wang Can's report on the latest news from Chang'an, all the generals and officials in the big tent had not had time to react, Zhao Ziliang was so shocked that he almost fell from his seat, and shouted: "Chang'an is in danger!" ”

Everyone heard this and thought about it, but isn't it, from Tongguan to Chang'an is almost no danger to defend, although there are still a few counties in the middle, but these are small cities, can not stop the rebels from attacking at all, the rebels hit Chang'an is more than half a month, less than seven or eight days, the emperor must not allow himself to be besieged by the rebels in Chang'an City, only afraid that he will abandon the city and flee west, if the emperor has fled, the officials who stay in Chang'an City still have the heart to resist the attack of the rebels in the city, and I am afraid that there will be many civil and military ministers who will take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.

And most of the elite rebels under Anlu are barbarians, and these barbarians have entered Chang'an City, so you can imagine what kind of catastrophe will be experienced in the flowery Chang'an City! Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder!

Fugu Huaien couldn't help but scold: "Ge Shuhan is really stupid, he knows that his subordinates are just guards who have not experienced a war for a long time and have no combat power and some temporarily recruited scoundrels in the market, in such an unfavorable situation, he does not defend the city pass, but also leads the troops out of the pass to meet the enemy." Even if you send troops to meet the enemy, the enemy army deliberately shows weakness and retreats, can't he, a battle-hardened general, see it? Allowing the army to fall for the rebels' tricks and enter the ambush circle, isn't this looking for your own death? He deserves it! ”

The generals and officials all looked at each other after listening to Fugu Huaien's words, but Zhao Ziliang knew very well in his heart that the situation that caused today could not all be caused by Ge Shuhan's mistakes, but all the responsibility should be attributed to his Ge Shuhan, because he was the commander, and he had to bear the main responsibility for the defeat.

Zhao Ziliang angrily scolded Gu Huaien: "What are you scolding? If it were you in Geshuhan's position, you would be even worse than him! There are three reasons for Ge Shuhan's defeat in this battle: first, he made a strategic mistake and should not take the initiative to go out to meet the enemy, but this is not his own willingness, it is the emperor who ordered him to go out to meet the enemy, if he does not obey, the experience of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing is his end! Second, tactical mistakes. He himself was ill and could not personally fight on the front line, did not understand the reasons for the defeat of the rebels in time, and did not stop the army from blindly pursuing the rebels in time. I ask you, if you were the commander of an army of 200,000, would you fight at the forefront? Third, after the defeat and retreat of the rebels, the generals under his command Wang Sili, Li Chengguang, Pang Zhong and others were greedy for merit and rash advances, which led to the army's conspiracy! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziliang pointed to Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode, Li Sheng and the others and said, "I dare to say that any of you sitting in Ge Shuhan's position may not be better than him!" ”

Although the generals were reluctant to admit it, they knew in their hearts that what Zhao Ziliang said was true, in that situation, I was afraid that even if they were the leading generals who saw the enemy fleeing, they couldn't help but lead the troops to pursue, and they were greedy for merit and killed people, and there were more than one or two deaths!

Zheng San stroked his forehead and sighed: "The 200,000 army was completely defeated in two days, and now Guanzhong is empty, and the situation is as dangerous as an egg!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of water from the water bowl, and said with a serious expression: "The rapid march in the past few days has made the soldiers very tired, originally I planned to let the soldiers rest here for a few more days to accumulate combat strength, but now the situation is critical, and it can't be delayed any longer, once Chang'an City is broken or the holy car is captured by the rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable!" The order went down, telling the soldiers to eat and drink enough and rest for a night, and to pull out the camp early tomorrow morning and continue to march east! ”

The generals stood up, clenched their fists, and agreed: "No! ”

In the early morning of June 14, Zhao Ziliang commanded an army of 40,000 troops to arrive in Qizhou, without any intention of stopping to rest, and the army continued to advance eastward around Qizhou City against the rising sun.

At noon, Zhao Ziliang, who was riding on horseback, let the Wuli horse trot forward, and while nibbling on dry food, he took a water bag and poured a few mouthfuls of water into his mouth that was about to smoke.

At this time, Wang Can galloped from the front of the army, and shouted as he galloped: "Jie Shuai, urgent report, urgent report-"

Zhao Ziliang immediately rode his horse to the side of the road, and the Chinese army Daxu also followed to the side of the road to make way for the army behind.

"What happened?" Zhao Ziliang stopped and asked.

"Law-" Wang Can stopped his horse, panting and enduring thirst: "Jieshuai, yesterday evening, the emperor abandoned Chang'an City, and took the crown prince, Yang Guozhong and other prime ministers and three thousand soldiers of the forbidden army to the west overnight, and arrived at Ma Wei Yi at dawn this morning, and is currently in Ma Wei Yi (where the emperor is)!" ”

"Ma Weiyi?" Zhao Ziliang's face changed dramatically when he heard this, in another time and space, the fame of the Ma Wei incident is too great, and that is where Yang Yuhuan is buried, although Yang Yuhuan has no relationship between men and women, but in such an era, it is not easy for a man like him to have a sincere friendship with a woman like Yang Yuhuan, and the Tang Dynasty has become what it is today, is it really a woman who can cause it? Yang Yuhuan is extraordinarily beautiful, but she definitely doesn't have so much energy to make the Tang Dynasty what it is now, and the ministers and generals around the emperor deliberately put the blame on a woman like Yang Yuhuan in order to cover up the shame for the king and herself, which is really unfair!

In addition, since the emperor had to leave Chang'an and come west, it means that the rebels are only afraid that Chang'an is not far away, at most a day or two away, and now it is necessary to lead the army to the emperor's side as soon as possible to escort him, you must know that the crown prince and many princes and grandsons are following the emperor, if the emperor's royal car is captured by the rebels, won't the royal family of the Tang Dynasty all fall into the hands of the rebels, and there is no master in the world, wouldn't it be a big chaos? This is something that Zhao Ziliang absolutely does not want to see.

After calmly thinking and weighing, Zhao Ziliang immediately sent someone to call Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode, Fugu Huaien, Li Sheng and others: "The emperor has left Chang'an, and now the imperial car has arrived at Ma Weiyi, the rebels are only afraid that it is not far from Chang'an, our army is huge, and it will only take two days to arrive all, but unfortunately we have no time, I will personally lead three thousand elite cavalry and the personal guards of the headquarters to rush to Xingzai first, and you will lead the army to follow quickly." After I left, the army was dominated by Chu Ge, assisted by Zheng San and Cen Shen! Zhao Ting, give you a chance, you be my lieutenant, quickly go and dispatch three thousand light horses, three horses per person to take turns to ride, Ma Xie people do not stop, hurry with me to Ma Weiyi! ”

The generals looked serious, and they clenched their fists in unison and agreed: "No! ”

The new command system made the army under Zhao Ziliang move very quickly, after the order to dispatch three thousand light cavalry was issued, in less than a cup of tea, the three thousand elite cavalry each carried three war horses and Zhao Ziliang's own three hundred elite personal guard cavalry had all been assembled, as Zhao Ziliang took the lead and galloped forward, the three thousand elite cavalry also quickly followed, like a black dragon quickly disappeared into the rising smoke and dust.

During the march, Zhao Ziliang's 3,000 elite horsemen changed their horses several times in a row. At dusk, the sergeants were hungry, Zhao Ziliang had to order a short time to rest, eat and drink, here is still more than forty miles away from Ma Weiyi, Zhao Ziliang decided to rest for half an hour after eating and then rush immediately.

After re-getting on the horse and setting off, after an hour of rapid marching, Zhao Ziliang's vanguard of three thousand fine horsemen had arrived near Ma Weiyi, at this time from the front came a large number of shouts and killings, in the dark night, the sky above Ma Weiyi was full of fire, and the sound of weapons kept coming.

Zhao Ziliang's face changed, although he was so anxious that he was worried about the safety of the emperor's royal car, but he knew that this matter must not be in a hurry, and it was not appropriate to act rashly before he figured out the specific situation of Ma Weiyi, he immediately stopped his horse, and the three thousand light horsemen behind him also quickly stopped.

Zhao Ziliang calmly looked at Ma Weiyi, who was shrouded in fire in the dark night three miles away, and he shouted: "Zhao Ting! ”

Zhao Tingce immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "The child is here!" ”

"Take some people to touch the situation, I want to know what happened to Ma Weiyi, go and go back quickly!"

"No!" Zhao Ting agreed, and quickly galloped away in the direction of Ma Weiyi with more than a dozen of Zhao Ziliang's personal guards, and soon disappeared into the night.

Ma Weiyi.

Yesterday evening, from Chang'an overnight fled 300 miles to arrive at Ma Wei Station, 3,000 soldiers of the forbidden army were exhausted, tired and hungry, and Ma Wei Station is not a big city, this is just a post station, there is not much grain stored here, the only food is given to the emperor, concubines, relatives and ministers to eat, the soldiers have stayed here for a day is not a grain of rice, not a drop of water has not entered, under the fatigue and hunger and thirst, the soldiers are more and more angry in their hearts.

It happened that more than 20 accompanying Tibetan envoys went to Prime Minister Yang Guozhong to ask for food because they were hungry, and when the soldiers of the forbidden army saw the Tibetan envoys in contact with Yang Guozhong, someone in the army immediately shouted: "Prime Minister Yang Guozhong colluded with the Hu people to rebel and kill him!" ”

Immediately, someone loudly echoed, and pulled out his weapon and surrounded Yang Guozhong, "Kill him, kill him."

Yang Guozhong's face was shocked, and he shouted: "You are presumptuous, they are Tubo envoys・・・・・・・"

Before he finished speaking, one of the soldiers who surrounded him took out a bow and arrow and shot an arrow at Yang Guozhong, which hit Yang Guozhong's ribs, and Yang Guozhong fell off his horse with a scream.

Seeing the soldiers coming around, Yang Guozhong's guards immediately pulled out their weapons to block, Yang Guozhong was quickly helped up by two guards, he covered the part of the arrow with a defeated face, looked left and right, and saw that there were few soldiers in the direction of the West Gate, and he was expected to escape from the West Gate, he immediately shouted: "Quickly protect the prime minister and go to the West Gate, hurry up!" ”

The guards protected Yang Guozhong and broke through in the direction of the West Gate, outside the besieging soldiers, a general saw it and waved his hand in the direction of the West Gate, and someone on the roof not far away immediately raised a white cloth and waved it, when Yang Guozhong fled to the West Gate with the guards, he found that countless soldiers poured out from both sides to block the West Gate and surrounded Yang Guozhong and others.
