Holding on to the last hope, Xuanzong planned to call Yang Guozhong to ask if there was a last way to keep Chang'an. However, before he called Yang Guozhong into the palace, Yang Guozhong, who learned the news, hurried into the palace to meet him. The first words of this great minister, who seems to be able to settle everything on weekdays and can rely on him for anything, disappointed Xuanzong.

"Your Majesty...... For the sake of today, it is better to leave Chang'an as soon as possible. The rebels will arrive in Chang'an in five or six days, and I ask Your Majesty to make plans as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if Chang'an City is lost, it can be taken back in the future, but if Your Majesty has three longs and two shorts, then my Datang will really be finished. ”

Xuanzong picked up a book on the case and smashed it on Yang Guozhong's stretched neck, and scolded angrily: "I want you to think of a way, not to persuade me to leave." You are Xiangguo, you have no idea, what use do you want? ”

Yang Guozhong rubbed his hands and didn't dare to argue, and only after Xuanzong finished scolding did he say in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has already thought about it, in order not to panic the ministers, the people and the soldiers guarding the city, this time Your Majesty will go out of the city in the name of the western tour." This will not shake the morale of the soldiers in the city. There are still 60,000 forbidden troops in the city, and they will defend the city to the death, but His Majesty really cannot stay in the city. ”

"No, I want to stay in the capital, and I want to live and die with the soldiers." Xuanzong roared.

"Your Majesty rest assured, even if Chang'an City is lost, it will be taken back in the future, and now Your Majesty must leave to avoid trouble, so that the soldiers defending the city have no worries." Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice.

"Let's go? Where to go? Where can I go? Xuanzong sat down on the dragon throne and muttered.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses are coming, let's go find him. After joining Wang Yuan, His Majesty will be protected by 100,000 troops by his side, and his safety should be safe. Then the minister will ask Wang Yuan to arrange soldiers and horses to escort His Majesty into Shu temporarily. At present, it seems that Shu is the most stable, it is also the hometown of the minister, Wang Yuan will govern there very well, His Majesty can first base himself in Chengdu, and then return to the capital after recovering Chang'an and quelling the rebellion. ”

Xuanzong was stunned for a long time and muttered, "At present, it seems that it can only be like this." ”

Yang Guozhong turned his head to Gao Lishi, who was standing aside, and said, "Master Gao, you should arrange for Your Majesty to leave Beijing immediately, I am afraid that there will be changes." You go to discuss with Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, and you can't make a big show when you travel, and you can't give people the feeling of abandoning the city. Time is pressing, maybe we have to leave tonight. ”

"So fast?" Colliers was surprised.

Yang Guozhong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "According to reliable information, the rebel cavalry is already a hundred miles away, and it will probably arrive at the foot of Chang'an City tomorrow." If they stage the way to the outside world, it will be a big problem. ”

Gao Lishi was taken aback, glanced at Xuanzong, and Yang Guozhong said: "Don't tell Your Majesty about this, so as not to worry Your Majesty." In my opinion, the sooner the better, and there should be no delay. I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll have to go back to the house to get ready, and I'll see you in the palace after dark." ”

Colliers said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly found Chen Xuanli and conveyed the news that His Majesty must evacuate to Chen Xuanli, and the two immediately began to prepare. If His Majesty had been dispatched before, it would have been a huge pomp and a grand scene. But this time he left in a hurry, and if he said something unpleasant, he was also fleeing, and many things were simplified because of ugliness. But even if it's simple, it's still a myriad of things. Harem concubines, princes, kings and grandchildren, no less than hundreds of people need to leave with the car. At the same time, it is necessary to arrange vehicles and horses to escort and other issues, and the time of several hours is simply busy.

After the first shift, everything was finally arranged. Because it was a low-key departure from Beijing, the pomp and circumstance could not be too large, and there could not be too many guards and horses, so Chen Xuanli selected a thousand dragon warriors, plus five hundred imperial forest army guards and five hundred flying dragon troops, a total of 2,000 people to accompany and protect. At the same time, together with the crown princess, the princess, the prince, the grandson, the palace maid and other cadres, a team of more than 3,000 people was formed.

Under the cover of night, Xuanzong and his concubine boarded a black car, and the fleeing team of more than 3,000 people did not dare to hold the lights, but quietly went out of Xingqing Palace to meet Yang Guozhong at Ximen Square.

When he arrived at the square inside the West City Gate, Chen Xuanli almost ran out of breath and crooked his nose, but saw that there were hundreds of big cars parked in the West City Square, and the heavy loads on the cars were gold, silver, fine and soft. Yang Guozhong and Mrs. Qin Guo's wife Han had a lot of drivers and entourages than His Majesty's, and all the gold and silver property were brought with them.

Yang Guozhong stepped forward to meet Xuanzong and the concubine, and then ordered the opening of the Jinguang Gate of Xicheng, and the convoy drove out of the city one after another.

The sky was dark and gloomy, the cold wind blew mercilessly, and the sky was unconsciously snowflakes. On such a harsh and bleak night, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty left his capital in this way.

When the convoy left Chang'an and drove onto the official road to the west, Xuanzong couldn't help but lift the curtain and turned around to look at Chang'an City. In the night, Chang'an City stood quietly, and the gates of the city wall stared at him silently like a silent giant. Xuanzong felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know if he could go back here. I don't know what this will mean for me.

A generation of heroes, single-handedly created the glorious and prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong, in the night wind burst into tears and heartbroken.

The night is dark and the wind is cold, and the snow is deep and the road is long.

Xuanzong's 'Western Tour' team left Chang'an on this snowy night and trudged hard along the muddy and cold official road. The night wind carried a large field of snowflakes and smashed them on the carriage and pedestrians, all of them shrunk and walked silently with confused and helpless eyes, and the only heavy wheezing and the occasional neighing of the horses were heard, and beyond that, the howling of the cold wind as it skimmed over the roadside and the treetops in the wilderness.

The dragon flags that were displayed in the past and the honor guards that showed off their might are gone. Several dragon flags were frozen hard, like a dying beast hanging on the flagpole, and the guards carrying the flagpole could not stand the wind and cold, so they simply threw them in the snow without being prepared, and no one said. The Huangluo umbrella cover of the golden gourd honor guard was abandoned shortly after leaving Beijing, and trekking through the snow with these heavy and useless things was a hard task, and no one reprimanded the behavior of the forbidden army.

What's even worse is the accompanying palace maids and chamberlains, the soldiers are wearing winter coats and armor, and the officials are naturally wearing thick horses or chariots, and these palace maids and chamberlains are originally weak, and they need to follow the team on foot, and the pain under their feet is cold and biting snow, and the pain can be imagined. Soon there were palace maids and chamberlains who fell into the snow, and no one cared about them, because everyone was thinking that the farther away from the capital was better.

……

Hundreds of miles away, Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses were stationed at the west entrance of the Qinling Mountains. Because of the heavy load of grain and grass, and the road was difficult to navigate due to the destruction of rain and snow, the speed of the army was much slower than expected. Originally, Wang Yuan was sure that he would arrive in the capital within fifteen days, but now it would take at least twenty days or even longer, which made Wang Yuan anxious.

Wang Yuan's urgency was not that he couldn't rush to Chang'an to stay in the capital, because he knew that even if the journey went smoothly and he arrived in the capital on the 15th, it would be too late to rescue, and the speed of the rebels was much faster. As soon as Tongguan is broken, the rebels will not stop to take Chang'an, and they will not be able to catch up at all. Wang Yuan was not anxious about Xuanzong's safety, because he knew that Xuanzong would definitely not stay in the capital, and would definitely flee from Chang'an after Tongguan was broken and before the rebels approached.

Wang Yuan is anxious about the safety of others. Due to the confusion of time, Wang Yuan was already unsure of what would happen ahead. Will everything that happened in that place called Ma Weipo still happen? Wang Yuan didn't want to be behind the course of history because of the delay in his trip, he had to be ahead of history in order to change everything that was about to happen there. Therefore, Wang Yuan could not allow the slow speed of the army to slow down his journey, thus missing everything there and leaving a lifelong hatred.

He was going to save Mrs. Qin Guo, and he was going to do something there that he had wanted to do for a long time, he couldn't stay from a distance and watch and let things develop.

So, on the night when Xuanzong escaped from the capital, Wang Yuan and Liu Jun led 3,000 elite horsemen to leave the army.

[ps: Here's an explanation, Xuanzong's escape should be in June, and this book has been distorted because the timeline has been distorted, so it is hereby explained that it is not difficult for the party to feel uneasy. 】
