When Wang Rong quietly returned to Yizhou from Changshan County and returned to Daizhou from the original road, and then Zhang Xingfu Guling was divided into two routes to prepare for a counterattack on Youzhou, 20,000 soldiers and horses from the capital of Anbei had all arrived in Shuofang Xiazhou a few days ago. Yi Li Siba's Yuan distribution wife and Mrs. Luo Shi Na got a letter from her eldest son, Fugu Huaien, a few years ago, and ruthlessly placed her husband under house arrest and re-took charge of the affairs of the Xiazhou Fugu Department. This time, she personally took charge of the placement of all the soldiers and horses in Anbei Yatent City, and supplied food and straw, trying her best to hide all the rumors.

Shuofang Lingzhou Shuofang Jiedu envoy in the mansion, Guo Ziyi finally officially ascended to the festival hall. It has been a few years since he was the envoy of the Jiedu, and at this moment, looking around at the martial arts under his command, although there are a few new faces, but more of them are his colleagues and subordinates back then. Thinking of what Du Shiyi said yesterday by tugging at his collar, although this occasion could not tolerate a little sloppiness, he was still slightly distracted.

"The family of the handsome man is still in Chang'an, so he braves the world's disapproval, what if he is framed as a rebel by Yang Guozhong's generation?"

"The justice of the world is in the hearts of the people, and the mouthpiece that can be deafening is not only in the hands of the faint king!"

Thinking of how frightened he was when the word faint gentleman burst out of Du Shiyi's mouth, Guo Ziyi couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth at this moment. In this era of strict etiquette for monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, whatever went wrong, all the blame was blamed on the traitors who ran rampant and harmed the country and the people, and they didn't dare to involve the Son of Heaven at all, not to mention that the prosperous era of the monarch and the ministers seemed to be just yesterday. However, what has Li Longji done all these years? Loyal ministers and good generals were aggrieved one by one, cruel officials and traitors were rampant in the court, civil servants were getting heavier and heavier, more and more people were fleeing, and even countless people in border towns risked countless merits, and the commanders were deducted from their salaries, and even mutinied.

The most terrible thing is that after An Lushan raised the flag of rebellion and made it clear that the chariots and horses rebelled, the reaction of the imperial court was terrifyingly slow, and because of An Lushan's declaration, Li Longji actually put the crown prince Li Heng under house arrest, and now Li Heng has not appeared in front of people for a long time, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive! Not to mention that An Sishun was cited as collaborating with the enemy, the mansion was burned, and he also didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and his family members were actually wanted, but now the rumors in the entire Guannei Road are boiling that Ge Shuhan, who led the deputy marshal to go on the expedition, framed An Sishun because of old grudges!

When the war is already in chaos, he still doesn't forget to intrigue, it's incredible!

"Dashuai, Dashuai!"

Guo Ziyi was suddenly called back to his soul by this voice, and when he saw that all the civil and military officers in the hall were looking at him with doubtful eyes, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and coughed heavily, but he said straight to the point: "Since the rebellion of the thieves, it has swept Hebei and ravaged Henan, Dugi Road is in danger, and Tongguan is also difficult to protect, but at this time, there are demons dancing in Chang'an City!" I have already agreed with the commander of Anbei Metropolitan Hudu to send troops on the same day! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the festival hall. After the Mobei Great Rebellion, Anbei Yatent City and the Central Plains cut off the news, although the Shuofang Jiedu Embassy has repeatedly written to the imperial court to request troops, but has been Yang Guozhong pressed down, it is said that the Son of Heaven also instructed to wait and see the changes. Now that An Lushan suddenly rebelled, Du Shiyi actually appeared at this time, how could it not make people suspicious? At this time, Du Fu, who is now the judge of the Shuofang Jiedu Embassy, suddenly asked loudly: "Guo Dashuai, where is Du Dashuai?" ”

Guo Ziyi personally came to the left and right sides of the festival hall and raised the curtains. The next moment, I saw Du Shiyi, who was dressed in a gold and purple robe, appeared in front of everyone with a tiger's back and a resolute face, and in an instant, there was an uproar in the hall, some people rushed forward to salute, some people were busy asking what was going on with this qiē, and the former colleagues and subordinates of Fugu Huaien were busy asking about the situation of the Mobei Servant Gu Department. This chaotic situation lasted until Du Shiyi stretched out his hand to press and signal silence, and finally regained the silence at the beginning.

"I know the big guy has a lot of questions in his heart, so I might as well answer them one by one here."

This is the place where he has been an envoy for more than ten years, and almost all of the generals below are familiar faces, so Du Shiyi does not shy away from saying some of the truths about the previous Mobei Rebellion, except for the westward expansion of Dubo, which is not only An Lushan's provocation, but also his instruction, which is absolutely secret, and everything else can be said. When he talked about his incident in Luo Xizao, he wrote a bloody letter to Chen Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, but the emperor of the court turned a deaf ear, the civil and military officials in the festival hall couldn't help but feel the same way. Knowing that Du Shiyi found out that An Lushan and Luo Ying had sent troops, and reported this matter in a letter, there was no response from the DPRK and China, and most people were filled with righteous indignation.

The court and the middle are either chaotic ministers and thieves, or treacherous ministers, what kind of world is this!

"Therefore, at that time, I was really angry, so I summoned the generals and subordinates of the city of Anbei Yatent and said, since the imperial court has ignored our hard work in building the city, and has disregarded our blood, sweat and life, why should we bother with it? Why don't you just watch from the sidelines so coldly to see if there is justice in this world! Later, after learning the news of An Lushan's rebellion, I also thought about standing by and watching, and the Anbei Yatent City was far away at the foot of Wudeqian Mountain, no matter what the Central Plains became, what did it have to do with me? I think if I hadn't seen the demons dancing in the middle of the court, but my majesty was obsessed, why would I have stayed in Shuofang all the time, and then I went to Mobei! Since exhortation is useless, it is better to be out of sight and out of mind! ”

Such indignant words, others may be hypocritical when they say it, but Du Shiyi became famous as a young man, was once known as an iron-clad official, and has been an official for nearly 30 years, and he can return to worship the prime minister by virtue of his qualifications, but he has always been willing to stay in the border town, and even took the initiative to ask for help in places that others avoided, and he has already established a positive image in the hearts of the soldiers. Even Guo Ziyi herself couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"But I really want to sit idly by, but I feel sorry! I was born in Jingzhao, studied in Songshan, can be said to be born in Guanzhong, grew up in Heluo, if because of a moment of resentment, abandon the place where I raised me, is not a pig and a dog? It's not just me, eighty percent of the people in the city of Anbei Yatent are the Tibetan army, how the Central Plains has nothing to do with them, but when I learned that An Lushan rebelled, I wanted to send troops south to fight the traitors. ”

Speaking of lots, the atmosphere in the festival hall suddenly relaxed a lot, and many people who followed Du Shiyi's old department thought of those past events. What made them even more moved was Du Shiyi's attitude and the attitude of those soldiers in Anbei Yatent City. As more and more people looked at Guo Ziyi, the Shuofang Jiedu envoy sighed and simply said bluntly: "I think that when the rebels first rose and the news of the surrender of the city in the east arrived, I once sent a messenger to report the news to the central government, but the result was a severe reprimand for spreading rumors, so that the most precious time to suppress the rebels at the beginning was delayed!" And the thief fought all the way from Hebei and Henan to Luoyang these days, I am almost a book a day, the Tao is Mobei is fine, and I ask for permission to send troops to help the pass, but what is the result? I have repeatedly asked for orders, but the DPRK has repeatedly ordered me to guard on the spot, why is this? ”

Guo Ziyi raised his voice suddenly, and said angrily: "That's because Yang Guozhong is only a traitor is a papier-mâché clay sculpture, and he doesn't want me to make contributions to Shuofang's soldiers and horses, he only acts as a court army, and An Lushan's rebel army will become powder, but what is the result?" Now that Luoyang is in danger, even though Ge Shuhan has the ability to reach the sky, but just because he forged letters to frame him because of his discord with An Sishun, he is not a bright and upright man, where can he win the hearts of the people? What's more, the Helong soldiers and horses under his command are not the Helong soldiers and horses he is used to, but a bunch of patchwork rabble, and Yang Guozhong actually thinks that such soldiers and horses are more trustworthy than my Shuofang Xiongjun! Unlike An Lushan's Youyan Pinglu army, I am not unable to send troops, but I dare not send troops, my family, many generals and colonels here, are staying in Chang'an, if we are a big traitor, won't Chang'an City be a river of blood? ”

Guo Ziyi is not as careless as Du Shiyi, but he just pointed the finger at Yang Guozhong. Even so, everyone was still indignant at the fact that the DPRK and China favored one over the other, and the military situation was urgent, but the Shuo Fangxiong army was still ignored. Therefore, when Du Shiyi spoke again, he told everyone that there was already a large army in Anbei Ya Tent City heading to Hedong, and at this moment he should have entered the hinterland of Hebei and attacked An Lushan's lair, and his two thousand Anbei troops would join forces with Shuo Fangbing to help the pass, relieve the people from hanging upside down, and save the society from falling, what they gained was all the applause.

And at this moment, there was a commotion outside the festival, followed by a personal soldier who broke in without hesitation, and said in a trembling voice: "The Tanma of Tongguan rushed back through Hedong Road, saying that it was ...... It is said that Geshuhan was defeated, and there is not one out of ten of the 80,000 army, and now it has retreated to Tongguan! ”

In order to know the battle situation ahead and take advantage of the geographical advantage, Guo Ziyi sent countless scouts to infiltrate Dugi Province and Henan Province, and the news sent back at this moment undoubtedly became a boulder that pressed down on everyone's hearts. The defeat of Geshuhan means that Luoyang is likely to be unable to hold it again, and at the same time, Tongguan will inevitably be empty of garrisons, if the rebels directly fight Tongguan, then Chang'an can be said to be over!

It was not only Guo Ziyi and Du Shiyi's families present who were in Chang'an, but also many generals from the Sixteenth Guard who had relatives or families in the Tang Imperial Capital. Thinking of the consequences of Chang'an being broken, as a person shouted for war, the voices of Ying He rose one after another.

Guo Ziyi had already made all the preparations for the march under the pretext of training, from grain to horses. Due to the mutual market between the Western Surrender City and the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei in recent years, the most important thing in Shuofang is horses, even the foot soldiers have horses to travel, and even those who are rich in wealth have spare war horses. Therefore, at noon, when a group of troops and horses marched south to Gyeonggi Province, they saw thousands of horses galloping, whistling endlessly, and the dull sound of horses' hooves seemed to converge into a torrent, which was about to shatter the earthquake!
