Since leaving the city of Shangqi, Gao Yue led the army all the way. A few days later, when he arrived at Shiping County in Yongzhou, the scouts in front of the army came with bad news, Taiwei Suo Qi was defeated by Liu Yao's army in Huayin, and the 30,000 Jin troops were killed and captured nearly 10,000 people. Suo Qi fled back to Chang'an, and repeatedly exclaimed that this enemy was huge and irresistible. At present, Liu Yao has passed Xinfeng, and he is marching towards Chang'an, and the court is anxious and afraid, and there is no choice but to defend the city.

The situation became grim, and Gao Yue couldn't help but be worried and anxious. So he personally encouraged the soldiers and accelerated eastward, hoping to enter Chang'an City before the Huns besieged the city. So there was no rest, and the whole army was immediately mobilized. While he was on his way, a scout rode his horse and galloped towards him.

"General! Five miles to the left of our army, a large army was found, to which it belonged for the time being, and was about to meet our army about two miles ahead. ”

Gao Yue was taken aback. At the moment, there is really a rumor and every step of the way. On the one hand, he ordered the scouts to investigate in detail at once, and on the other hand, he immediately ordered the whole army to slow down and be on high alert, ready to meet the battle at any time.

After running hundreds of steps, countless banners and spears came into view, and it was indeed an army, but there was no obvious flag to identify. And judging from the formation of a circle, the other party obviously also discovered Gao Yue's department, it was the sword and gun that raised the bow and crossbow, and waited for the battle, and the two sides confronted each other in silence.

The Nameless Army is standing in the way to the east. At this point, it is impossible to bypass or turn a blind eye. Gao Yue was anxious in his heart, unwilling to waste time and troops here, but looking at this formation, a fierce battle was probably inevitable.

Just as he was about to make a tentative attack in a wedge formation, a voice shouted from the other side.

"On the other side, is it the headquarters of the high envoy of Qinzhou?"

Gao Yue hurriedly stopped the actions of his subordinates, but he still did not let down his vigilance, and responded in a deep voice: "It is Gao Mou who is here, who are you, and why are you blocking the march of our army?" ”

"Ahh It turned out to be the high envoy in front of him. Disrespectful and disrespectful, the lower official Liangzhou supervised the king, and saw the high envoy. ”

As he spoke, the army on the opposite side slowly lowered his weapons, and in a moment, a horse swung out, and the man had a broad forehead and short hair like thorns, and arched his hand on the horse from a distance.

Seeing that it seemed to be a friend rather than an enemy, Gao Yue also stepped forward and talked with him. There is a handwritten letter from Zhang Yu, the assassin of Liangzhou, to testify, and that person is indeed Wang Gai, the governor of Liangzhou and the former general. This time, he was ordered by Zhang Yu to lead Xiliang to ride 10,000 horses and make a special trip east to King Qin, Chang'an.

In the turbulent times at that time, the princes of all parties did not listen to the mission of the imperial court, only Zhang Liang in the far west, sent envoys to pay tribute to the emperor, and always respectfully and loyally, no matter how difficult, never abolished all year round, it was really 'returning to the Jin room, the beauty of Zhang Jun'. After Zhang Liang's death, his eldest son Zhang Yu succeeded him, although his ambition surpassed that of his father, but on the whole, he still tried his best to support the court and maintained his due deference. After hearing that Chang'an was attacked by another great enemy, he sent an army and traveled thousands of miles to the country.

In this way, not only are they not adversaries, but they are allies with the same goals. Gao Yue was overjoyed, even if he agreed to Wang Cai's request to accompany him, the Zhang family was loyal to the imperial court, and it was clearly recorded in the history books, and he was vigorously praised and praised, so he didn't have to worry about doubt. And this time to the east, the future is dangerous and unpredictable, with the arm of the brave Liangzhou iron cavalry, it is better than a lone army to block the Hun army.

The king should have rejoiced even more. The combat effectiveness of Gao Yue's army has long been famous, and in a few years, it swept through Qinzhou with a sweeping momentum, which shocked people. And Gao Yue is loyal to the royal family, and he is said to be brave, and he is often mentioned and admired by the state advocate. It is really a good thing to be able to walk with such a strong army at the moment.

So the two armies were temporarily united, Gao Yue was in a high position, and he was a dignified county prince, so it was natural that he was the leader of the coalition army, and before arriving in Chang'an, everything was obeyed by his orders.

After a few days of concurrent travel, the two armies arrived at the foot of Chang'an City. The imperial court, which had already received the report, sent Fan Sheng, who had been promoted to general of Wuwei, to welcome Gao Yue and Wang at the west gate.

After entering the city, looking around, there is a gloomy and miserable depression everywhere. Fan Sheng sighed and said, after Taiwei Suo Qi returned from defeat, all kinds of rumors in Chang'an City immediately arose, and people's hearts became more and more unstable. A few days ago, the imperial court issued an order to move the residents of large and small villages and towns within a radius of more than a dozen outside the city to the ministers, which is not only a tactic of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, but also has the meaning of sufficient manpower to recruit troops. As a result, some people in the city actually took advantage of the situation to escape a lot, which became more and more agitated, and now the whole city is under martial law, and the rest of the people can't get out anymore, and they have nowhere to go, so they can only shrink in the city and resign themselves to fate.

Gao Yue shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say. He suddenly remembered that if he remembered correctly, it was recorded in the official history that the Western Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed this year, and the rule of the Great Unification Dynasty in the Central Plains officially came to an end. As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yue was shocked, but he was already in the middle of this storm by coincidence, and if he wanted to escape, he couldn't and couldn't bear it. Since you are here, you must do your best to rewrite the tragic ending anyway.

The doors and windows of the houses were tightly closed, and the streets were empty. Gao Yue was in a heavy mood and didn't know what to say. All the way into the palace, the emperor Sima Ye led the ministers early, personally in front of the palace to look forward to, seeing Gao Yue really came to help, and personally led the army, Sima Ye was excited, with some relieved joy on his face, he took Gao Yue's hand, greeted non-stop, and said that Gao Qing came in person, and this time the court will be able to have a thrill and no danger.

There was a chorus of echoes all around, and everyone's hopes were suppressed. Gao Yue secretly smiled bitterly, in history, where will there be a thing that can repeatedly turn the tide and turn things around with his own strength, if the country is in decline, it can be recovered by non-recovery manpower, but now it is just but a little hope, and you have to fight for it desperately.

Gao Yue sighed in his heart, but he had to squeeze out some smiles, and instead came to comfort him. Due to the urgency of the military situation, Gao Yue had no time to rest, so he entered the palace to discuss. Suo Yao's face was full of dust, and he shook his head and said bluntly that this time Liu Yao's momentum was a big victory, and it was difficult to deal with it. Gao Yue asked in detail about the process of Suo Qi's battle with him, etc., and then he had an idea.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan. Previously, our army was defeated, and Liu Yao was bound to be more arrogant and arrogant with the power of victory, and his eyes were empty, thinking that the imperial court had no strength to resist, and it was also a backdrop to capture the Beijing Division. In this way, I can go out of the city again while he is unprepared, choose the best terrain and lay in ambush, and when he passes, suddenly cross the middle of the enemy's army, and I will surely win a great victory. ”

In the court, the ministers whispered, and some of them couldn't help but bow their heads again and again, as far as the current situation is concerned, this strategy is very suitable. Instead of waiting to be surrounded by Liu Yao's army, and then passively defending it, it is better to take the initiative to capture the fighter plane, and take advantage of the enemy's unexpected time to suddenly launch a thunderous strike, which may yield excellent results.

Gao Yue's eyes were blazing, looking at Sima Ye and waiting for him to speak. Suo Qi next to him took the lead and said: "According to my intentions, Gao Dudu's strategy is too risky. You must know that now in my Chang'an City, together with the reinforcements from your Qin and Liang states, there are only 40,000 people in total. It is the time to defend the city, and if you go out of the city and encounter defeat, it will destroy morale, and there is no way to recover. ”

Sima Ye was about to agree, but after listening to Suo Qi's words, he hesitated a little and couldn't help nodding.

Gao Yue hurriedly said: "No. Everyone knows that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but the arrogant soldiers do not know their own pride, and the so-called authorities are confused. Now Liu Yao probably doesn't know that my Qinliang Erzhou has sent reinforcements, and he is the time when he feels that he has the chance to win. At this time, it was time to ambush him on the peninsula while he was not yet in the city. If God blesses, it is not impossible to kill Liu Yao in one fell swoop, otherwise it can also make his soldiers panic and lose their morale. If you wait until the enemy army comes in an unhindered long drive and surrounds my Chang'an like an iron bucket, then it will be as if someone has tied your hands and feet, and you can't do anything, please think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Ko Yun frowned and thought without saying a word. Suo Qi just shook his head in disagreement. In fact, he had selfish intentions at the moment: because he personally led the army to meet the battle before, but he was defeated and lost, and ran back in embarrassment. Now, if Gao Yue went out of the city for the second time, but returned victorious, wouldn't it mean that he had no ability, and I am afraid that Gao Yue would completely steal the limelight from now on.

Moreover, Suo Qi was also slandered by Gao Yue for being crowned the county prince. In the past, the high position was light and low, and Suo Qi could also take care of the mentality of his subordinates, take care of them with peace of mind, and take care of them as a matter of course; Now Gao Yue is basically on an equal footing with him at a young age, which makes him unacceptable, and secretly complains about the abuse of the imperial court, thinking that the emperor did not note him in advance, and he is the lord of the knighthood, which is very inappropriate, and it also makes his authority challenged.
