The Hundred Poison Immortal Venerable Xu Rice accepted Jiangdu Zhao Jinhu as his righteous son, and got 2,000 men and horses under his banner. After that, Xu Rice entered Chang'an City, and after a secret visit, he learned that Liu Kun, the great Sima of the Ministry of War, was very angry with the imperial court, so he took advantage of the moonlit night to fly into Liu's mansion. He looked around, and saw that the family was going back and forth at night, and the study was brightly lit. The thief jumped up and flew over to illuminate the light, landed on the ground, and looked in through the window paper, Liu Kun was reading the military book, and he pushed the window and jumped in.

"You...... Who are you? When Liu Kun saw an old Taoist break into the study, he was frightened.

Xu Wence shook the dust and said, "Don't be afraid, the deity is Xu Wance, the national teacher of Xu Guo!" ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Hey, hey! Hearing that Ling Lang was killed by five female horses, the faint king not only avenged him, but also made the five thieves the generals of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Rice pretended to be sad as he spoke, and the tears on both sides instantly rolled down: "Alas, the deity is so sad, Ling Lang died so unjustly, but no one avenged him, how can he rest in peace under the Nine Springs?" ”

Liu Kun put down the military book, looked Xu Luck up and down, and said, "In the opinion of the immortal chief, what should the lower officials do?" ”

Xu Rice wiped away his tears, sat on the chair, and said, "My lord now has a heavy army in his hands and has won the hearts of the king, isn't it easy for you to replace Li Tang in the world?" In the opinion of the deity, you immediately launched a mutiny, killed the faint king, and proclaimed yourself king. ”

Liu Kun was so frightened that his eyes widened, he hurriedly ran out to look around, came back and closed the doors and windows, and said: "Immortal Chang can really laugh, this reckless mutiny, killing the king and usurping the throne is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans!" Besides. Even if I kill the emperor, I will not be able to ascend the throne justifiably. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, won the hearts of the people, once he raised the army, the princes of the world will definitely respond to it, and I am afraid that my dream will not come true. Instead, he ended up dead with no place to be buried. ”

Xu Wance said calmly: "Lord Liu doesn't have to worry, as long as you are willing to raise troops, I am willing to borrow 100,000 steppe soldiers from the Turkic Jieli Great Khan to help you." However, when you ascend the throne of the emperor, you must pay tribute to me. I don't know what Da Sima wants? ”

Liu Kun thought for a while: "As long as you can avenge my son, what's the harm in paying tribute to Xu Guo?" Then he said, "Okay, do what the immortal chief says." ”

Xu Wance took out a carrier pigeon from his sleeve. He said, "My lord, leave it behind, as long as you are ready to raise troops here, release it immediately, and I will try to lead troops to help you when I receive the letter!" ”

Liu Kun caught the carrier pigeon and said, "Immortal Chief, don't worry." Liu has written it all down! ”

"In that case, the deity is gone!" After Xu Wance finished speaking, the smoke disappeared.

Liu Kun went out at night to contact all his cronies, and released the carrier pigeon five days later.

Xu Wance received the letter and quickly ordered 100,000 troops from the Jieli army, avoided Suizhou, and secretly advanced around Longxi.

Liu Kun suddenly launched a mutiny, took advantage of the emperor's unpreparedness to put him under house arrest in the imperial study, and seized the jade seal. He was not allowed to contact the civil and military officials. He also coerced the emperor to prepare a holy decree, and wantonly issued a decree to remove the Tongguan guard Qu Tutong.

Xu Wance led his troops to besiege Chang'an City, and ordered the Turkic general Sha Tongtian to lead his army to take Tongguan. The official road to the east was cut off.

Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng and others did not see the emperor for many days, and saw that the decree of the great Sima Liu Kunchuan was extremely abnormal, so they sensed that there might be a coup d'état in the court. Xiao Yu and Wei Zheng secretly consulted with several ministers and several loyal tiger generals in the court, and they sent people to sneak out of the north gate of Chang'an in disguise, rushed to Suizhou, and sent news to the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qin, Li Shimin. When I saw Xu Wance's army approaching the city. Xiao Yu and Wei Zheng planned to let a few loyal generals risk being killed and lead troops to protect the city without Liu Kun, preventing the enemy from attacking Chang'an.

Li Huaiyu led the troops back to Beijing and walked the way they went. It only took half a month to rush to Tongguan. It's the height of summer and it's hot. The soldiers are tired and unbearable. Li Huaiyu sympathized with the hard work of his subordinates, ordered the three armies to camp and rest in the open space outside Tongguan City, and ordered the Blue Banner Officer to notify Qu Tutong, the general of Zhenguan in Tongguan, to go out of the customs to receive him.

The Blue Flag Officer ran out for a while, and came back to report: "Marshal, no one in the customs area answered, and no one came out to receive you. ”

Li Huaiyu was furious and said, "What do these people want to do, don't they want to live?" ”

The five women led a thousand men and horses to the city gate, but they saw that the gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall walked back and forth in a procession. Wu Fengying waved her gun and scolded: "When the dog thief sees the marshal, don't you come out to receive you quickly, do you really want my sister to send you to Wangxiangtai?" ”

At this moment, one of the soldiers poked his head out of the battlement and shouted, "Bah! Who are you, and why are you shouting here? ”

Wu Fengying raised his head and said: "I'm not afraid of scaring you to death if I say it, I am waiting for several generals under the command of Marshal Li Huaiyu of Zhengdong." Hurry up and let the general of your family come out to receive you, otherwise the marshal of my family will delay your military affairs in front of the emperor, and then you will not be able to wait for food and go around. ”

The man: "Don't you know? Your Emperor of the Celestial Empire has taken refuge in my Turks, and in the future, the land of the Central Plains will belong to my family Jieli Khan. ”

"So, you're Turkic soldiers?"

"Exactly!"

"Your Turks have already broken through Tongguan?"

"Not bad. Tongguan has been broken, Chang'an has been lost, and Li Yuan, the king of Tang, has been taken prisoner. You now have two choices, one is to take refuge in my Turks and enjoy the glory and wealth; The second is to run away immediately, as far as you want. ”

"Fart, full of nonsense. How can I, the emperor of the Heavenly Empire, be captured by a small country of you? Wu Fengying flew a sword in a fit of anger and beheaded several soldiers on the city wall, returned to the Tang camp with her sisters, and reported the truth to the marshal.

Li Huaiyu asked Hu Fenglian to go into the city to find out, and Hu Fenglian came back and said that there were indeed a large number of Turkic generals stationed in the city, and it seemed that the soldier did not talk nonsense. The marshal analyzed it and said: "Tongguan is the lifeblood of Chang'an, and now that Tongguan has fallen, the emperor will inevitably be trapped." Saying that, he immediately ordered people to beat drums and gather all the generals, and shouted: "Generals, now that Tongguan has fallen and the emperor is trapped, we must do our best to recapture Tongguan and return to Beijing to save the driver." Which of you would like to fight? ”

Xie Hualan took a few steps forward and said, "Marshal, the last general is willing to go and take the head of the Turkic general to meet him." ”

Li Huaiyu gave Xie Hualan a letter and said, "General Xie, be careful, I wish you a victory." ”

Xie Hualan led 200 infantry to the city gate, raised his head and scolded for two hours, how ugly the scolding was. Suddenly, the city gate was wide open, and a golden horse galloped out of it, and immediately sat a fierce general, with a golden helmet on his head, a cowhide and gold armor, bronze mirrors in front and back, and a big gun.

Xie Hualan urged her to take a few steps forward and said, "Bah! Who are you? Register your name. ”

He said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it." ”

"Grandpa, I am naturally bold, how can I be scared by you? It's a pig or a dog, but you say it's okay. ”

"Then you listen right away, I'm the Turkic general Sha Tongtian...... The second son of Shahu. Who are you? ”

"I am Li Huaiyu, the marshal of the Eastern Expedition before Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty took over...... The general under his command, Master Xie Hualan. ”

As soon as Shahu urged the war horse, he ran to Xie Hualan with a "woo" and killed Xie Hualan, Xie Hualan also ran to meet him with a gun, and the two guns collided together with a "clang". After 500 rounds of fighting, Xie Hualan hurriedly took three shots, Shahu broke two shots in a row, missed one shot, and was stabbed off the horse by Xie Hualan with one shot and took his head. All the Tang soldiers raised their swords and guns and shouted in unison, and put the head of the sand tiger into a cloth bag.

After a while, a white-faced young general flashed out of the city, he wore a black-winged helmet on his head, two fox tail spikes hanging from his temples, a cowhide chain mail, a beast head shoulder pad on both sides, a bronze mirror on the front and back, a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, a scimitar at his waist, and a yellow dragon horse with five hundred infantry behind him. This man didn't say a word, and ran over to fight Xie Hualan. Xie Hualan said that this person was really anxious, so she waved her gun and killed him.

After five hundred rounds of fighting, Xie Hualan stabbed twice and asked, "What do you call this hero?" You're not bad at it! ”

The one who broke Xie Hualan's two shots and said angrily: "I am Sharon, the eldest son of the Turkic general Sha Tongtian. You killed my brother, and I will break your body into pieces! ”

"Then let your grandfather Xie send you and your younger brother to the underground to find your fifth uncle surnamed Yan." Xie Hualan raised his gun and stabbed it in the front of the other party.

Sharon quickly used Fang Tian's halberd to block the tip of Xie Hualan's spear, pulled out the scimitar from his waist with his hand, and shook his arm to slash at Xie Hualan's neck. Xie Hualan jumped up in one step, was not chopped, and swung a gun to "hit the tiger's head" with a move. Sharon leaned over and jumped, but was not hit, and suddenly threw his halberd and slapped it on Xie Hualan's chest. said that it was too late, it was fast, Xie Hualan was slapped out more than two feet away by the "pop" of the salon, and then he fell to the ground with a "poof", and he vomited a mouthful of blood with a "wow" in pain. Sharon was overjoyed when he saw it, and flew over to swing his knife to take Xie Hualan's head. Xie Hualan saw that she couldn't dodge, so she closed her eyes and waited for death. But when Sharon stabbed down, he didn't cut Xie Hualan, but slashed to the sand. Sharon opened his eyes and saw that Xie Hualan was gone, and he beat his chest in anger.

What's going on? It turned out that Li Huaiyu and the generals were fighting outside the Yuanmen, and when he saw Xie Hualan in distress, he shouted: "It's not good, who is going to save General Xie back!" Before Li Huaiyu finished speaking, Hu Fenglian had already slipped away through the mountains. She rushed to Xie Hualan's body when the saloon came down, stretched out her hand and used the escape technique to rescue him back to the Tang camp.

Li Huaiyu first sent Shangguan Yun, Sima Ming, and Guo Xiaotian to take 2,000 men and horses to the battle salon, and when the three of them left, he asked his eldest brother Li Huaizhu to take 1,000 people to break the south gate, Chang Xiulan to take 1,000 people to break the north gate, Wu Fengying to take 1,000 people to break the west gate, Shangguan Baoqing to take 1,000 people to break the east gate, let Hu Fenglian and Bai Yu'e go to attack the enemy's grain and grass storehouse, and let Wu Yueying and Zhang Meiying stick to the camp.
