After the An Lushan rebels crossed the river into Heluo, Li Yi, the king of Puyang, relied on his reputation as the brother of the Li Tang clan and the king of Xin'an, Li Yi, to raise a rebel army to resist. Because Puyang was east of Lingchang, the rebels who went straight to Luoyang did not invest too much on his side at first, so he actually held Puyang to the death

But after Cui Qianyou's rebel army entered Guanzhong, the siege of Chang'an was defeated and returned, and Shi Siming and Cai Xide led the army back to Hebei one after another to deal with the Anbei army. Finding that the Heluo rebels were not as strong as before, Li You's subordinates Muzuo and other generals tried their best to persuade the commander to send Lingchang and echo with the army of Duguo on the West Road and the soldiers and horses of Anbei on the North Road.

However, the stakes are too great. Li Yi is ten years younger than Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, and Li Yi has repeatedly humbly conceded this title to him, but he is a little timid, but he is not as comfortable with fighting as his brother at all, so he has always hesitated. Until Princess Gu'an sent soldiers and horses to contact, promising to enter Yongqiu and invite Li Yi to recapture Lingchang. In the face of such a request, in the case of the fierce fighting spirit of his subordinates, thinking that Princess Gu'an and her daughter could still be so brave, Li You finally agreed.

But after the troops left Puyang, the march was quite slow, until he heard that Princess Gu'an captured Yongqiu in one fell swoop, and Chen Liu, Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi's two armies had approached Luoyang, he really made up his mind, accelerated his speed, first went down to defend the south, and then went straight to Huazhou Prefecture to govern Baima. However, where is it easy to defend the white horse, although the soldiers of the righteous army are brave, but Li Yi has no generals who can handle it, and he suffered a small defeat as soon as he clashed, and then he was a villager who was familiar with geography to offer a plan, and used an ambush to return the color to An Shouzhong, but after all, the sharpness had been lost, and he had to retreat to defend Nanxian.

But only two days have passed, and Li Yi faced a worst-case situation that he had not expected at all - the main force of the rebel army of more than 40,000 people rushed towards Weinan with great momentum!

Wu Wang Li Yi had never seen such a big battle, and he wanted to retreat back to Puyang immediately, but this time he didn't need the advice of his subordinate general Shokusa, and the rebels almost appeared in Weinan Siye with the scout's report, and he had to order to defend it head-on. At this moment, sitting in the study of Weinan County, he could hear countless shouts and killings from outside, and he was clutching a scroll in his hand, which was simply mixed.

Li Longji asked people to wear plainclothes and walk on the road, and after all kinds of hardships, he sent such an urgent edict of 100,000 people, appointing him as the marshal to control Du Shiyi, Guo Ziyi and other armies, but now that he is dying, what can he do to control other people's soldiers and horses? What's more, without going through the system of Chinese books, it is not something that can be put on the table after all. If Du Shiyi coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes after recovering Chang'an, only ordered his soldiers and horses to attack and quell the rebellion, and he sat in Chang'an and suppressed the Son of Heaven to the death, then it would be enough, but Du Shiyi clearly did not cherish the status of being the right minister, comparable to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, and personally led the army to quell the rebellion!

Thinking that he Li Yi raised his arms at that time, it was to protect his family and defend the country, and to fulfill his responsibility as a child of the clan, not because he had such great ambitions! Since his grandfather Li Ke, the Wu family was first killed for rebellion, and then suffered from the frenzied purge and massacre of the Li family by the Empress Wu of the Zetian Empire, and if it were not for his brother's care, he would have been dead long ago. Therefore, Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, once spent nine years in Shuofang, and was a famous general of the country, but he went around and around, either idle or the state and county assassin Shi Taishou, and he thought that there was a difference, and it should be.

Now that such a hot thing is in his hands, and there are overwhelming rebels outside the city, what should he do?

"King, Wei Nan is just afraid that he won't be able to hold it!"

A middle-aged man slammed the door open and rushed into the study, and when he saw Li Yi sitting there with a gloomy expression, as if he hadn't heard his words at all, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. He is Puyang Sima, Li Yimuzuo, who was the Taishou of Puyang at the time, and the reason why he followed Li Yi, who raised the banner of rebellion, was because of the loyalty in his heart, and because Li Yi was born in the clan and was the younger brother of Li Yi, the king of Xin'an. However, although this Li Tang clan has a bit of backbone and refuses to succumb to the rebels, not to mention that the bold army is not outstanding, not even the middle and upper-middle, and he is still a little indecisive in dealing with people.

Seeing that they would be able to survive this great chaos that swept the entire north, how could they have expected that the rebels' reaction to their arrival in Lingchang this time would be so great!

"The king, the king?"

Li Yi finally came to his senses, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he forced out a smile, took a deep breath and said, "If you can't hold it, break through!" I personally cut it off. ”

When the other civil and military officers who were covered in blood or described wolves as defending Weinan for most of the day learned that Li Yi was going to personally lead the army to break off, no matter how they secretly commented on this king on weekdays, they couldn't help but have a deep respect in their hearts at this moment. After all, in the face of overwhelming rebels, such an act is undoubtedly a death sentence!

Some people also tried to persuade the boss to change his mind, but Li You, who had a very soft ear in the past, seemed to have eaten the scales and was determined to change his mind, and in the end he said in a loud voice: "If I follow you and others to retreat to Puyang, the rebels will definitely pursue me as the prince of the clan." After I break off, they will be bent on capturing or killing me, and you will have another way to live! ”

It was only because of Li Yi's words that the panic in the army was originally caused by the siege of the rebels, and it was gradually shrouded in grief and indignation. From the generals and colonels to the soldiers and civilians, everyone couldn't help but shout hello for this King Wu while checking their simple equipment. Unlike the previous Chang'an Defense War, Puyang and Weinan did not have a decent armory for the military and civilians to equip themselves, and most of the righteous soldiers who joined the army were self-prepared weapons. When it was time to break through, Li Yi looked around, and saw that there were no ten people in the army with mixed colors, and there was no one in the army.

And the 500 rebels who were willing to stay with him were mostly wearing armor. This is pieced together by other generals and colonels in the army, and everyone who wears it knows that this is not to save their lives, but to be able to support it for a longer time in the chaotic army, and to buy more time for the robe. And the armor on the body of Li Yi, the king of Wu, was given to him by his brother Li Yi before his death, the style is simple, and the dull armor is covered with all kinds of subtle scars, but every buckle is well maintained and worn heavily on the body.

Li Yi held a saber in his hand and swung it into the air with all his strength, shouting countless times in the army, and the west gate of the city was open for a while.

The banner of the Li character was raised high, coupled with the imposing dead soldiers, the rebels kept calling for a while, and even An Qingxu of the Chinese army learned that it was Li You who personally led the army to attack. Seeing that Li Guiren laughed and personally led the elite of the Chinese army to encircle and suppress, he couldn't help but ask Yan Zhuang beside him in a low voice: "Aren't we going to quickly retreat to Hebei Province, so as not to chase Guo Ziyi and Du Shiyi, why do we still want to attack Weinan?" Just one An Shouzhong is enough to clean up this old guy Li Yi! ”

Yan Zhuang's eyes flickered and he didn't answer, but Ashina Chengqing said lightly: "For the sake of morale!" Since Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe were defeated and retreated from Chang'an, my Dayan has suffered defeats one after another, and even Hebei has been unstable. If you can't win a battle in Weinan and take the king of Wu, Li You, the prince of Li Tang, the sword, then the morale of the army can no longer be boosted! The king should also know that with the 5,000 soldiers and horses in An Shouzhong's hands, there are more than 40,000 troops here, which is our greatest support. If the morale of the army is sluggish, although there are nearly 50,000 people in the back, they can't exert their strength, how can Cai Xide and Shi Siming support you? ”

With such an analysis, An Qingxu immediately understood it completely. Ashina Chengqing's implication is that this is not only a battle to revive the morale of the army, but also to declare strength to the rebel generals in Hebei!

The dead soldiers of the righteous army with only one blood and courage escorted Li Yi to fight desperately in the chaos of the army, and everyone knew that the soldiers and horses who broke through at this time should have set off from the east gate of Weinan and retreated to the east, and all they had to do was to buy time. It's just a quarter of an hour's effort, and the number of people around Li You has been sharply reduced to less than three hundred, and Li Yi himself was injured in the shoulder in the chaos, but he has never suffered so much in his life, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it. The piece of paper in his arms seemed to be hot, making his chest tingle.

"Li Yi'er, since you came to die, I will fulfill you!"

The roaring voice in front of him came to his ears, and when Li Yi looked around again, he found that there were only a dozen or so of disorganized riders left around him. I don't know when, the rebels' interception offensive was stronger than before, and in an instant, the last bit of soldiers and horses was also divided and torn, just like a pebble thrown into a pond, and there was no longer a splash. Knowing that the next thing was a mortal situation, Li Yi couldn't help but laugh miserably, glanced at the bloody saber in his hand, he suddenly raised the knife in his right hand and put it across his neck, but his left hand couldn't help but reach into his arms.

He should have destroyed this thing sooner rather than by chance! If the rebels are allowed to get ......

At the moment of life and death, Li Yi closed his eyes suddenly, and pulled his right hand to his neck. At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion among the rebels. He first had some expectations, and then realized that there were only more than ten people left around him, and even if real reinforcements arrived, he would definitely not be able to hold on to that time. Rather than fall into the hands of the rebels and be humiliated, he still chose to resolutely cut down, but with a subtle change in his mind, his hand was slightly loosened, and a personal follower who had followed him for decades saw this, and even rushed towards him and threw him off the horse.

The master and servant rolled on the ground a few times, and Li You only felt that there was a sharp pain in his neck, and he turned his head like this and fainted directly.
