Chapter 1140: Ruthless and Desperate

Ge Shuhan didn't even know how he got back to Tongguan. Wang Sili is good at defending and not attacking, he has known this since a long time ago, but this time it was this person who he brought back to Beijing to report on his work, and he thought that when he took Shibao City before, Wang Sili also took the lead regardless of himself, and he was used to leading the horse army, so he handed over all the most elite horse army to Wang Sili this time, but he never thought that this general of the horse army who was eager to fight would become the fuse for the collapse of the whole army.

Another big reason is that the rabble who are not very trained at all because of the procrastination of the march. After the report of the former army's battle came back, the army that he had been suppressing with strict military law finally mutinied. The soldiers who had been replete by the Pullers trampled on each other in the midst of the rout, and the sight was even more terrible than the legendary bombing of the camp. And Li Chengguang, who has always complained about his military orders, is dissatisfied that he can only command the foot soldiers, but Wang Sili is able to command the horse army because he is an old general of Ge Shuhan, but at the critical moment, instead of helping to suppress the army, he only cares about himself and escapes first!

At this moment, Ge Shuhan, who was barely in good spirits, asked Zuo Che and learned that there were less than 10,000 soldiers who returned safely, most of them were Li Chengguang's subordinates, and he only felt that all thoughts were lost, and even a thought appeared in his heart.

Among the festivals in the world this year, only he stupidly returned to Chang'an for the New Year, and the rest were nowhere to be seen. What kind of deputy marshal, who was instructed by a mere eunuch and forced to retreat against the deputy marshal, is not as good as a pawn!

Thinking of the eunuch, Ge Shuhan suddenly remembered that Bian Lingcheng was nowhere to be found. Although he wished that this guy would die in the chaos, he still hurriedly asked, "Where is Bian Lingcheng?" ”

Zuo Che knew that Ge Shuhan hated Bian Lingcheng very much, and immediately said angrily: "I heard that he was the first person to escape into Tongguan, and it seems that he has gone to Chang'an!" ”

At that moment, Ge Shuhan only felt a chill rushing above his head. Now that he has suffered such a big defeat, as the commander-in-chief, he doesn't want to shirk his responsibility, and he can't shirk his responsibility, but if he dies like this, how can he be willing? If all the elite soldiers of Helong are transferred to fight to the death with An Lushan, he will definitely not lose, and it is absolutely impossible to lose! Thinking of this, he grabbed the hand of the left car with some unsteady standing, and said in a desperate tone: "Find me a white silk!" ”

"What does the big marshal want Bai Juan to do?" Although Geshuhan is now a deputy marshal, the left car has always continued to be called before.

"Less nonsense, get it quickly!"

Zuo Che didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly went out of the house, and when he came back with a whole white silk after a while, he saw Ge Shuhan unfolding it, he was a little dazed at first, and then thought of a possibility, and his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly rushed forward to snatch something from Ge Shuhan's hands. But he found that the master actually bit his finger, and just wrote on the white silk like this, and he realized that he would be wrong.

That's right, if the master can't think about it for a while, he should also draw his sword and kill himself, how can he kill himself like those women!

Because the blood on his fingertips was not enough, Ge Shuhan had to simply cut his hand with a knife, and finally when the blood was written, he didn't care about the blood on his hands, so he ordered Zuo Che to summon a henchman and asked him to rush to Chang'an day and night to deliver the letter, and be sure to pass Yang Guozhong to the Son of Heaven. When the person promised to leave quickly, he sat down and fell into a hesitation. I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly heard the cautious sound of the left car.

"Dashuai, I remember that because of Luo Xizao's misdeeds, so that after the siege of Anbei Yatent City, Du Dashuai also sent a bloody letter to the court, one denounced Yang Guozhong for appointing cool officials, and the other exposed An Lushan for instructing Dubo to invade the west, which was obviously anti-minded. But such a blood book was regarded as a deaf ear by His Majesty, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. ”

Ge Shuhan smiled bitterly, but he didn't have the strength to speak. Although he was a late bloomer, he soon soared into the sky, and only experienced the grace of the Son of Heaven, not the coldness of the Son of Heaven, but look at Zhang Shouqi, look at Xin'an Wang Li Yi, look at Wang Zhonghe, look at Du Shiyi...... There are countless examples in the past, not to mention, he just cheated An Sishun not long ago! At that time, he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, and he was proud, who would have thought that it might be his turn in an instant! He also knew that this blood book was just the last attempt to hold on to luck, and it might be too late to transfer Helong's soldiers and horses at this time, but what else could he do now?

After being silent for a long time, he sighed dejectedly: "Okay, you don't have to go, try your best to guard the Yutong Pass, and see how long you can hold on!" ”

Hebei almost all fell, Henan also fell into the hands of thieves in an instant, and An Lushan handed out leaflets while fighting, several of which were brought to Beijing by secret messengers sent by various prefectures and counties, and fell in front of a few people in the court.

Even if they knew that sending such a rebellious thing might make Li Longji change his mind and not kill the son of the crown prince Li Heng at this time, after all, An Lushan even dared to spread the rumor that Li Longji was not in the right position, so who cared about a prince? However, Gao Lishi has been driven out of the palace by the angry Son of Heaven. It is said that it was this eunuch who had followed the Son of Heaven for at least 40 years to kowtow to the crown prince Li Heng in the main hall and pleaded for him, so that Li Heng escaped the catastrophe at that time.

Gao Lishi, who is the best at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, is it really for Li Heng, so he does not hesitate to anger the Son of Heaven? It's a joke, the loyal dog of the Son of Heaven is clearly full of loyalty, dedicated to the Son of Heaven and the Tang Dynasty!

It's just that Li Heng's sons King Jianning and King Guangping almost got out, and they braved the disapproval of the world to run in front of the princes and ministers of the Sixteen Princes' Mansions, but the result was that they were both under house arrest, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead, like their father!

"Jiaweng, Bian Lingcheng has entered Xingqing Palace."

Seeing Mai Xiong carefully observing his face, Gao Lishi sighed deeply, but did not speak. In just a few days, his hair, which has been well maintained, has turned mostly white. Almost at the same time as physiological aging, it is mental aging. Over the years, he has taken many benefits, and the bribes he has received are even comparable to the family business accumulated by many dignitaries and dignitaries for generations, but he has always put his position very right. He is a slave of the Son of Heaven, and every qiē is obtained by relying on the Son of Heaven, just as he served Empress Wu at the beginning, Empress Wu can drive him out of the palace with a word, of course Li Longji can!

Seeing that Gao Lishi was listless, Mai Xiong couldn't help but be a little anxious, so he could only increase his tone and say: "Jiaweng, you must know that Ge Shuhan is defeated, and Tongguan doesn't know if it can be held, which means that Chang'an is in danger!" ”

"I'm a person who has been kicked out of the palace, what's the use of worrying about all this?" Gao Lishi shook his head happily and said lightly, "At the beginning, because Ge Shuhan sent a letter from An Lushan, his majesty was angry, and there was a fire in the house. Even if An Sishun is a Hu person, and he has not been in Beijing for a long time, his neighbors may not know his exploits, but how loud is the voice of An Sishun in Chang'an City for the past few days, I have heard it, and others will not hear it? His Majesty has made mistakes again and again, but at this time he is still obsessed, and I have no choice. ”

Mai Xiong suddenly felt nothing but despair in his heart. He is Gao Lishi's henchman, and Gao Lishi is the henchman of the Son of Heaven, if there is really any problem today, then this seemingly beautiful mansion will fall overnight!

He glanced at the stunned Colliers, and could only turn around and stumble out. Since Colliers came out of the palace, the mansion in the former city was deserted, and there was not a single visitor, who should he go to ask for shelter? It should be said that who can provide shelter for Gao Lishi and everyone under his vassals when Chang'an City is about to be destroyed?

In the Xingqing Hall of Xingqing Palace, Bian Lingcheng added fuel and vinegar to put all the responsibility for the defeat on Ge Shuhan. If it is a big victory, he will naturally not hesitate to ask for credit for Ge Shuhan, which is called a virtuous man, and it is also a gold paste on his face, but who made Ge Shuhan so unworthy of his name? When he noticed that the atmosphere was suddenly extremely oppressive, he was about to keep silent, but it was too late. He felt something fly past his head, and then smashed to the ground and shattered. Realizing that he almost died, Bian Lingcheng only felt that his vest was cold, but what followed was not a scolding like a storm, but silence.

When he heard a sound of footsteps, then the surroundings fell silent again, and when he finally raised his head cautiously, he found that Li Longji had disappeared. He didn't know what to do, and his heart suddenly became even more panicked and worried.

The Nanxun Hall of Xingqing Palace, which was originally a retreat place for Li Longji, has been closed since the so-called Three Kings Rebellion, and Li Heng has been under house arrest here since a few days ago. Three days ago, he heard a vigorous scolding from outside, and when he recognized the two familiar voices, he first felt surprised and cordial, but then his heart was cold.

The king of Guangping and the king of Jianning were his eldest son and third son, one was a good writer and the other was a good martial artist, and judging from the information revealed in those scoldings, they left the Sixteen Princes' Mansion without permission and were imprisoned here for him. He didn't know if it was Zhang Liangdi's instruction or if they did it spontaneously, but he understood why they did it. Even they are under house arrest, which means that his father, the supreme Tang Dynasty Son Li Longji, doesn't want to let him go at all, whether he is a good-for-nothing person in Gaolishi's mouth!

The muddy Li Heng could barely feel the difference between day and night, because he couldn't leave the house at all, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of sunlight at all. It was only a few days before he could see how old and tired the man reflected in the bronze mirror was. There was no one waiting here, and even the food brought in was pushed out through a small window under the door, cutting off the possibility of him communicating with people. When he finally heard the squeak, his first feeling was not horror, but relief.

The eunuch who came in was Yuan Siyi, who had always been arrogant. And the eunuch, who was second only to Gao Lishi in front of the Son of Heaven, just put a bottle of medicine on the ground with a complicated expression, and then retreated. Seeing that he was about to go out, Li Heng suddenly asked out loud, "How are Guangping and Jianning?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Siyi's body suddenly stiffened, and then he ran away without saying a word, without any answer, Li Heng couldn't help but completely paralyze to the ground.

This is the Father, this is the Father! If he ascends to the throne of God, will he also be so ruthless?
