The captain looked proud, and said loudly: "Dashuai, he still has an accomplice, he must not have run far, kill him first, and the last general will lead someone to chase after that accomplice and kill him together!" ”

The veteran sneered, his sword fell, and a sword pierced into the captain's chest, and the sword passed through the chest and went straight to the back, the captain looked at the sword inserted into his chest, and couldn't believe his eyes: "Handsome......"

"When the national disaster is at hand, as a general of the forbidden army, I can't resist the enemy, and I have been disgraced! Oppress the good, and what is the face of the people of the world! ”

The veteran drew his sword back, and the lieutenant was bleeding profusely in his chest, and he fell to the ground and died.

The veteran threw away the bloody sword in his hand, jumped off the war horse, but he was in good shape, walked a few steps quickly, faced Guo Congjin, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and knelt on one knee.

Guo Congjin was so frightened that he was at a loss, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

The veteran said loudly: "The emperor sowed and moved, all the way through Xianyang and Linjincheng, but the officials and people fled along the way, only Mr. Guo came to pick up the car, Mr. is brave and loyal, and every day can be seen!" The old man, General Chen Xuanli, has no way to govern the army, his subordinates have no eyes, they don't know loyalty and treachery, and they insult Mr., which is the crime of the old man! Please accept the old man's worship! ”

That veteran is none other than Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu.

I saw Chen Xuanli bowing his head to Guo Congjin, taking off his robe and draping it on Guo Congjin.

Guo Congjin was terrified in his heart, and finally was able to speak, and waved his hand again and again: "General, I can't help it!" ”

Chen Xuanli waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Wait for Mr. Guo to get on the horse and face the saint!" ”

The two soldiers came over, couldn't help but say, helped Guo Congjin up, and helped Guo Congjin onto Chen Xuanli's mount, Guo Congjin was shocked: "This is the general's mount, the little old man is a grass people, how dare you ride!" "I wanted to turn over and dismount, but I was held down by the soldiers and couldn't move.

Chen Xuanli didn't answer, but took it personally, picked up the chaff cakes scattered in the loess one by one, wrapped them in a bag, and handed them to Guo Congjin with both hands: "Mr. Guo, please take it, and when you see the emperor, please come in person to present it to the emperor." ”

"General Chen, the old man's family is poor, so he can only make this chaff cake, but it fell into the soil and was dirty, I am afraid that the emperor will not like it!" Guo Congjin had just been kicked, and it was because of the chaff cake that he had palpitations.

"Sir, this chaff cake is offered by the people of the Tang Dynasty, although it is a jewel and a gold treasure, it is difficult to compare with its preciousness! The emperor will be happy when he sees it! Chen Xuanli said, taking the reins of the horse.

Guo Congjin was terrified: "The general can't help it, the little old man is a grass people, how dare the general lead the horse!" ”

"Mr. Guo is a Tang Zhongliang, and it is an honor for the old man to lead the horse for Zhongliang!"

Chen Xuanli led the war horse, marched forward proudly, and shouted loudly: "Jincheng father Guo Congjin takes over!" ”

One hundred Longwu soldiers followed Guo Congjin's horse, and with Chen Xuanli, they shouted in unison: "Jincheng father Guo Congjin takes over!" ”

The group walked along the main road, shouting as they walked, and walked eastward.

The sun was setting, twilight was falling, and the shouts of the soldiers echoed on the empty road.

Walking out of ten miles to the east, I saw on both sides of the road, flags and banners were spreading, the queue was strict, and countless soldiers stood on the side of the road, watching Chen Xuanli take the war horse ridden by Guo Congjin and walk proudly from the middle of the road. In the midst of the ten thousand armies, the 100 soldiers were even more energetic, and shouted in unison, "Jincheng father Guo Congjin takes over!" ”。

At the beginning, it was only the hundred soldiers who followed Chen Xuanli shouting, as the team marched, the soldiers standing on both sides also began to shout together, when Chen Xuanli took Guo Congjin to the Chinese army, it was already tens of millions of people shouting in unison, a huge shout, the sound shook for nine days, and even the sunset that had fallen behind the West Mountain, seemed to be awakened by the shout, and emitted a faint red light in the mountain col.

The emperor traveled westward, for a day and a night, and the officials and people fled along the way, and no one came to pick him up, not even a single pedestrian. The former noble and supreme emperor, the powerful prime minister, and the arrogant and domineering forbidden army seem to have been abandoned by this world. This mighty army seems to have become a group of lost dogs.

This sense of abandonment frustrated all the soldiers and their entourage.

Hunger and frustration have led to extremely low morale.

And today, the appearance of a rural wild old man has given them hope.

In this world, there are still people loyal to the Tang Dynasty!

Chen Xuanli stopped in front of a luxurious and huge military tent.

In front of the big tent stood two rows of warriors in golden helmets and armor, who were the guards in front of the palace.

Gao Lishi stood at the door of the big tent with the dust in his arms and the prime minister Yang Guozhong.

Chen Xuanli helped Guo Congjin down from the war horse, and said to Gao Lishi: "Please tell the emperor Lord Gao and Lord Yang, and Guo Congjin, the father of Jincheng, will come to greet you!" ”

Gao Lishi nodded: "General Chen, the emperor and the concubine Niangniang have already known that Mr. Guo is coming, and they are waiting for Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, please!" ”

There was no need to report it, the sky-shaking shout had already reached Li Longji's ears.

Guo Congjin wrapped the burden of chaff cake in his hand, held it high above his head, and walked forward slowly. Chen Xuanli followed behind him, as if he were his bodyguard.

The two came to the door, and Gao Lishi bowed to Guo Congjin, and then opened the curtain.

"Mr. Guo, please slow down!" Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice: "Mr. Guo came to pick up the car alone, his loyalty is commendable, and Yang admires it, but, according to the rules, when he meets the saint, he must have a physical examination, and the burden in his hand should also be checked." ”

Chen Xuanli said coldly: "Lord Yang, Chen has already checked, Chen guarantees his life, and Mr. Guo has no sharp weapons on him!" ”

Gao Lishi also said: "Lord Yang, this is not necessary, Mr. Guo is highly respected, how can it be unfavorable to the emperor!" ”

Gao Lishi's words are sleek, but in fact, he means that Guo Congjin is old and frail, and if he is instructed to come and assassinate, then the commander will have his brain in water!

Yang Guozhong said coldly: "Mr. Guo is loyal, Yang does not dare to have the slightest doubt, but the law of the court cannot be violated!" ”

Chen Xuanli sneered: "Lord Yang also knows the laws of the imperial court!" ”

Everyone knows that Yang Guozhong is in power, covering the sky with one hand, doing whatever he wants, and the court law is gone. Now, this Yang Guozhong actually talked about the law of the imperial court, which is really a great irony!

Yang Guozhong was unmoved, and with a wave of his hand, two warriors in front of the palace came over.

Chen Xuanli was furious and pressed his sword in his hand: "Whoever dares to touch Mr. Guo, Chen will kill him!" ”

The warriors in front of the palace looked at each other and hesitated, but they heard Yang Guozhong shout: "Whoever dares to mess with the laws of the imperial court, the prime minister will kill him!" ”

"Yang Guozhong, you dare to obstruct the person who takes over the face of the saint! You're a traitor! Chen Xuanli shouted.

"Chen Xuanli, Guo Congjin entered the account without a physical examination, what do you want!" Yang Guozhong waved his hand, and the gold-armored warriors standing on both sides swarmed up, surrounding Chen Xuanli and Guo Congjin in the core.

Chen Xuanli pulled out his sword, protected him in front of Guo Congjin, and shouted: "Yang Guozhong, you control the six armies and force the emperor to run, you want to rebel!" ”

Yang Guozhong sneered: "Tongguan is lost, the rebels are strong, and the capital is difficult to defend, Yang has no choice but to escort the emperor to the west to avoid the enemy, how can it be to kidnap the emperor!" ”

Chen Xuanli couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Tongguan is lost, there are still the six guards and the twelve guards in Chang'an City, and the Shuofang army has rushed to Chang'an under the leadership of Guo Ziyi, and it will arrive in Chang'an in a few days." The people of Chang'an are devoted to the Tang Dynasty and fully help the officials and soldiers defend the city. Even if the rebels reach the city of Chang'an, how can they break through Chang'an! You, Yang Guozhong, brazenly launched the Dragon and Tiger Left Army, entered the Daming Palace, and hijacked the emperor and the crown prince to go west, causing the people of Chang'an to be scattered and fall without a fight! Yang Guozhong, you are blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes! The traitor in the world is Yang Guozhong! ”

Yang Guozhong was furious: "Chen Xuanli, you roar at the emperor's tent, the wooden house is sage, believe it or not, Yang will kill you today!" ”

A day ago, the news of the fall of Tongguan came, Li Defu led the Longwu Left Army to break into the Xuanwu Gate, quickly took control of the Daming Palace, and replaced all the palace guards with his own people. All the arrangements stopped, Yang Guozhong came to the Zichen Palace, reported to Li Longji, the rebel vanguard had arrived in Bashang, and asked Li Longji to immediately issue an order to drive Chengdu.

When Li Longji heard that the Tongguan army had been annihilated, he was already terrified, and he heard Yang Guozhong say that the rebel vanguard had reached the top, and he was even more frightened. Li Longji originally also had the idea of driving westward once Chang'an was not guaranteed, but now when he heard Yang Guozhong say this, he didn't think about it, so he ordered to tour west.

As soon as the holy decree was issued, the prince, prince, concubine, close ministers, and chamberlains of the East Palace had to go west with them. Among the six armies of the Praetorian Guard, Yang Guozhong had already controlled the Shence Army and the Longwu Left Army, and these two armies had already prepared. Although Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, was loyal and brave, he was a schemer. After receiving the emperor's decree to drive westward, he ordered the six armies to escort the west. There is a holy decree above, and there are generals of General Long Wu below, and the other four armies can only obey the order to go west.

Zhang Tongyou's plan for Yang Guozhong was successfully implemented - to control the emperor with two hundred swords, to deceive the six armies of the Praetorian Guard with the emperor's order, and to kidnap the emperor, the imperial concubine, the prince, the chamberlain, the hundred officials, and the six armies out of Chang'an.

In this way, Li Longji left Chang'an in a daze.

When Li Longji left Chang'an, he gradually realized that the situation was wrong.

In fact, at this time, An Qingxu was called the emperor in Luoyang, the country was called Dayan, although the Yan army broke through Tongguan, but after the war, it was also extremely tired, and he was afraid that Chang'an City was tall and strong, so he did not go west immediately. There is not a single soldier of the Yan army on the Ba Shang at all.

Li Longji was about to turn back, but it was too late.

The Yan army soon found out that the Tang Emperor was running away, and immediately sent Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Qianzhen to lead the iron cavalry of the department, and quickly whipped the horses to kill Chang'an. When the people of Chang'an heard that the emperor was running away, they were also panicked, and the whole city fled, and the army that stayed in Chang'an was even more chaotic.

Three days ago, Li Longji listened to Bu Yunfei's suggestion and promoted Guo Ziyi to be the envoy of Shuofang Festival. Guo Ziyi took office quickly, and originally planned to lead the army out of Hebei. Hearing that the Yan army broke through the Tong Pass, he immediately led the army to the west, preparing to defend the Beijing division, but halfway through, news came that the emperor had given up Chang'an, Guo Ziyi suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation, in order to avoid being surrounded by the Yan army, had to retreat to Shuofang.

At this time, if Li Longji returns to Chang'an, there is no rescue outside, no fighting spirit inside, and Chang'an City will really not be able to hold it!
