Although it was Yang Guozhong who kicked Chen Xilie down, and then recommended himself as the left minister, Wei Jiansu never thought that he was an ironclad Yang party. He has a weak temperament and doesn't like to fight with others, which is a fact, but Yang Guozhong is domineering, but he doesn't want to be positioned as a traitorous lackey by Qingshi, so he has also been strongly admonished on some issues. However, for the rebellion of An Lushan, his estimation was also insufficient, he did not expect it to sweep Hebei so quickly, and then the land of Henan also fell at the fastest speed, followed by from Luoyang to Tongguan, the dignified imperial capital Chang'an was in danger!

But even so, he did not agree with abandoning Chang'an and fleeing westward, at dawn that day, he was invited to the palace by Yang Guozhong in the name of the king's deliberations, and then he was involuntarily coerced to the forbidden garden, and then went out of Chang'an from Yanqiu Gate, and crossed the Xiwei Bridge and Jincheng County all the way to this Ma Wei Station. Hunger and hunger didn't matter, he had experienced such a terrible mutiny last night, and when the rebels suddenly broke in, he even thought he was dying! Fortunately, he was dragged out and met Chen Xuanli, and in the end he was not thrown in broad daylight like the Yang family, otherwise even if he survived in the end, he would not have the face to be an official again!

At this moment, hearing Li Longji's voice Wei Qing saving me, after being stunned at first, Wei Jiansu's face immediately changed greatly, and he suddenly thought of the worst possibility. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Longji and wanted to escape, but who knew that this son of heaven had been frightened for days, and his originally strong muscles and bones were not obeying the call at all. In a hurry, Wei Jiansu, who was already nearly sixty years old, could only grit his teeth, bend down to pick up Li Longji on his back, and stumbled out of the house. When he got outside, he realized that there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping outside, but the place where the fire was burning was still farther away.

It's been a fuss for a long time, but it's a false alarm!

When Chen Xuanli came to report in person, the frightened Li Longji almost didn't lose his breath when he heard the end. He thought it was some earth-shattering conspiracy, it turned out that when the prince and grandson of the family fled, they bought a large bag of Hu Biscuits in the market the day before yesterday, and they were afraid that they would be taken out and robbed by others, but then they were so hungry that they couldn't bear it, so they secretly made a fire in the house and roasted and ate them. It's just a pity that these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren have eaten such cheap things behind people's backs, and they can't let the servants see it, and in the end, they made a joke about burning Ma Weiyi!

Thinking that he was actually because of this so-called walking water, he almost thought that the forbidden army had decided to support the prince and murder himself, the rightful son of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji's anger that he had been holding back for a long time finally couldn't hold back anymore. He glared at Chen Xuanli and asked sharply, "Who raised the fire without authorization?" ”

"Hui Yu Xià, it's King Yan."

Yan Wang Li Jue is the twentieth son of Li Longji, and his mother Liu Jieyu was the most disagreeable with Du Shiyi because of her nephew Liu Ximing, and then she was even involved in the claustrophobic palace and died a few years ago. However, this prince does not hold grudges like his mother's family, and even has a reputation for being fond of reading. Of course, he, like other princes and princes, has nothing to do in the sixteen princes' mansions, and spends more time not studying, but messing around with wives and concubines and maids, although the children are not yet half a hundred, but there are more than thirty. And unlike the other kings, this time he tried his best to bring all his children with him, and there was no one missing!

Li Longji had heard Chen Xuanli tactfully explain his feelings before, saying that it was because there were too many clans, so that the speed of travel was too slow, and at this moment, when he heard that it was Li Jue, the king of Yan, who caused such a big disaster, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Almost without thinking about it, he ordered angrily: "Just as he was fleeing, he just dragged his son, and now he is ignoring his father's unauthorized fire to eat, so that the post house is on fire, and the warriors in the labor army!" Go and pass on the order, from this day on, he will be stripped of his princely title, and all his sons' titles and official positions will be removed together! ”

This kind of deprivation is absolutely not in accordance with the rules, even if Chen Xuanli is quite annoyed by the trouble of King Yan Li Jue, but Li Longji actually took away all the officials and titles of King Yan and his family at once, and he immediately realized that the Son of Heaven was not for the sake of labor at all, but because this incident made him tremble! So, he glanced at Wei Jiansu at the moment, and asked softly: "Wei Xiangguo, it stands to reason that such a major matter should always be drafted in the Chinese book and approved by the subordinates." ”

Wei Jiansu hadn't recovered from his panic yet, and only after Chen Xuanli asked again did he understand. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, although King Yan is guilty of deception, the sin is not enough to take the title!" It's just that the soldiers are busy while escorting them, so why don't you ask King Yan and the emperor's grandsons to come forward to make amends, so that they can also appease people's hearts! ”

From last night to now, Li Longji has experienced too many embarrassing things, but Chen Xuanli can't be guilty, otherwise the military spirit will definitely be scattered; He had to give his generals a good face, because he had to expect these people to escort him to Shuzhong; Wei Jiansu couldn't be angry, and he was still the same age just now, and he carried himself out. In that case, if he is not angry with his own son, who will he be angry with? Therefore, even if Wei Jiansu tried hard to persuade him, he refused to take back his life, and Chen Xuanli looked at this situation, and he didn't want to be the top with the Son of Heaven, he was just a bunch of princes and grandsons, what did it have to do with himself?

Before Chen Xuanli, who went to announce the summons, came back, Li Longji only heard the sound of crying and grabbing the ground in the distance. Obviously, it was Li Ying and his children who did not expect such a harsh treatment, so they howled and mourned. He was most impatient with such a movement now, and was about to drink Ling Wei Jiansu to go over there and scold these unscrupulous descendants for himself, when he suddenly noticed an unusual movement. It was not a tsunami-like cry, but it was like a tremor from the earth. If he had been a sentry in the army for many years, he would have listened to it and judged that it was the shock before the arrival of thousands of troops!

The Son of Heaven was only faintly palpitating, but Chen Xuanli had already received a report from the scouts below. The sentinels sent to the west never returned, and even though it was determined from Azler that reinforcements from Shuofang and the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei would soon arrive, he had to be vigilant. Therefore, when the scout, who was in charge of listening to the sound, noticed that a large number of horse troops were coming, he immediately raised the security level. But this is done, seeing that there is not much morale in the army at all, and this is because Azler left rations when he left, and he really only feels that the road ahead is gloomy.

Moreover, Azler's attitude is already very clear, does that mean that Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi's attitude towards the Son of Heaven is also the same?

About a quarter of an hour later, a large number of people holding the battle flag high finally appeared in Chen Xuanli's sight. Shuo Fang Jiedu made Guo's blue flag waving in the wind, and on the other side, the big red flag of Anbei Metropolitan Hudu was also bright and dazzling. Although Chen Xuanli was a meritorious hero of the Tang Yuan Dynasty and had been a general of Longwu for many years, he still did not dare to be rude in front of these two meritorious border town marshals, and immediately took a battalion of personal soldiers under his command to greet him. He was not familiar with Guo Ziyi, but Du Shiyi was a native of Jingzhao Duling, and he had been a legend since the third head, and he had met many times, but he had never talked about any personal relationship, and he had never even talked alone.

Therefore, when the horse came to the big flag, he jumped off the horse, bent down and saluted deeply: "Thank you two marshals for their timely help!" ”

Du Shiyi saw that Chen Xuanli had put his posture so low, and hurriedly dismounted. Because Azler passed through the Ma Wei Post and did not enter, he only ordered someone to send the Korean lady and others who were intercepted on the way to him, so he did not know what was going on in the Ma Wei Post. But just looking at Yang Yuqing, Pei Rou and others with scattered sideburns, he can guess the changes here. Therefore, seeing that Guo Ziyi moved faster, and after helping Chen Xuanli up, he said: "Originally, I was not allowed to take orders, and I didn't dare to lead troops to leave the office without authorization, but now that the rebels are raging, I can only rush to power!" General Chen is a senior in the army, don't be so polite! ”

Guo Ziyi was born in martial arts, and he has always felt that he is a legendary figure for a senior of the forbidden army like Chen Xuanli, but he emerged in Shuofang, and finally became the envoy of the festival, and he was able to sit on an equal footing with the other party, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, but he also said polite words like Du Shiyi.

Chen Xuanli saw that the two of them were polite and polite to him, and his heart was a little wider, and he immediately talked about Azler going straight to Chang'an. Although Du Shiyi knew that he had passed through Ma Weiyi and did not enter, and he didn't even bother to meet the Son of Heaven to let Li Longji regain a sense of retention, he still pretended to be angry and said: "This arrogant person is so rude!" I also hope that General Chen will see that he is a Hu man, and he will attack the rebels and forgive him for this rude behavior! ”

"Don't be too harsh on General Du, after all, he has left rations to support us and others." Chen Xuanli said a good word for Azler, and suddenly realized that Du Shiyi actually let himself forgive Azler's faux pas, instead of saying that he wanted to ask the Son of Heaven for his guilt! Such a subtlety, since an extremely sensitive person like him felt it, he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. And then, Guo Ziyi's attitude also proved that he was not wrong.

Just when he stepped into Ma Weiyi, Guo Ziyi mentioned that the crown prince Li Heng died unjustly, but he said with grief and indignation: "The prince is the prince of the country, he lives in the palace, and he and An Lushan meet at most when they meet in court, so why do they have anything to do with it?" Just because the thief shouted in favor of the prince among the rebels, His Majesty killed the prince, wouldn't this make the relatives and enemies happy? ”

Such words made Chen Xuanli speechless. Seeing that Du Shiyi was also sighing, he instinctively wanted to divert the topic, but he didn't want the group to pass by the flagpole, Yang Guozhong, who was groggy, just opened his eyes and saw a group of people passing by, and when he recognized Du Shiyi, who was the leader, he couldn't help but exclaim. This sound immediately alarmed Du Shiyi, he followed the reputation, and when he saw that Yang Guozhong immediately realized something, his face turned pale, so he smiled and walked straight forward.

"Yang Xiangguo, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you get to such a point?"
