Once Jiang Si, who had been suppressed for many years, went crazy, no one could stop him, and even Pei Kuan, who came in a hurry, could only watch in amazement as the heir of Chu Guogong was fierce, and ordered Bian Lingcheng to tie Wuhuada directly to the flagpole, and properly gag the person.

This time, there were very few dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City, but they came forward, after all, most of those who had a temper were moved to the left during the period when Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong were in power, and the rest were full of food all day long. For example, Pei Kuan can rely on the people who can be used as helpers at the moment, Du Youlin and Cui Peng are both Jiang Du's juniors, so he can only look at Dou Yi beside him with a gaze of help.

However, Dou Ye didn't seem to see this scene, but instead talked to Du Youlin, who was also pulled by Pei Kuan, about the progress of recruiting athletes in the city. His heir Bi Guogong is Li Longji's cousin, and at the same time he married Li Longji's daughter Princess Changle, although in the rise of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong's reign for nearly 20 years, Dou Shilang, who used to be unparalleled in Hu Tengwu, seems to be low-key, but in the end he is also a top royal relative, but when Li Longji ran away, he didn't even think to notify Princess Changle and him, how could he not hold his stomach? Even if he really doesn't want to run away, these are two different things, because it means that the Son of Heaven doesn't care about the slightest family affection at all!

It wasn't until Pei Kuan's resentful gaze was like substance that Dou Yi coughed and said lightly: "Bian Lingcheng, this person is a fox, a fake tiger, a dog, and a human power, and everyone inside and outside the palace knows about it. Doctor Pei doesn't have to worry about punishing him, others will make a fuss, or accuse you of not doing it. On the contrary, after tying up such a prison general to show the public, the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an felt that Dr. Pei was very happy to deal with people, and even the army would be grateful to you! These eunuchs are so tired of pointing fingers at every turn! ”

Pei Kuan was dumbfounded. At this time, Du Youlin, who was leaning on the city tower and looking into the distance, suddenly seemed to jump out of a point of light on the pitch-black field, and he immediately interrupted Pei Kuan and Dou Yi's words, and shouted loudly: "Doctor Pei, Bi Guogong, look, is there a torch in the distance?" ”

Dou Yi suddenly couldn't talk to Pei Kuan, he immediately rushed to the edge of the city tower, squinted his eyes with his hand on the battlement, and saw that suddenly, a point of light turned into several points of light, and gradually there were more and more signs, he couldn't help but take a breath lightly, and said in a dry voice: "Could it be that the rebels really moved so quickly to hit Chang'an City?" Can't even wait for this night to attack the city? ”

Jiang Du heard the movement, and didn't care about Bian Lingcheng, who was desperately kicking and struggling after being gagged, and rushed over with his legs. He has long been dissatisfied with the bullying eunuchs in the palace, and now that he has found an opportunity to concoct it, how can he let it go! But nothing is more important than the arrival of the rebels at this time, he put his hand on the pergola and looked at it for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said lazily: "The peace fire in Tongguan has just disappeared, and these people have arrived here, and the possibility of a rout is greater." Instead of worrying about how to defend the city, why don't you discuss it first, whether to let people into the city or not to let people into the city? ”

Du Youlin, who was nervous, suddenly realized. And Pei Kuan looked at the scattered points of light, and his face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot.

After a whole day of recruitment, there were about 10,000 people in Chang'an City who were called into the army for the sake of their wives and children, and this was because they heard that Shuofang reinforcements were about to arrive, and nobles such as Dou Yi, Jiang Du, Cui Peng, and Du Youlin were willing to stay. But even if weapons were distributed and rough training was carried out, the combat power was still very low. After all, except for the occasional small-scale rebellion, how many years has Guanzhong not experienced war?

What if the rout enters the city, not only can it not be used by him, but it provokes a riot? But what if they don't let go, the army will be rout, and they will turn against the rebels?

"Doctor Pei, no matter what, people must not be released at night, firstly, they cannot be screened, and secondly, there is a night ban in Chang'an City, even if there are only a few hundred people, the consequences of putting them in the city are unimaginable. First order the city to be strictly defended, and wait for dawn to speak. "Du Youlin grew up in Shuofang and has never been in the army, but he has watched countless military parades, and he still has this knowledge.

Hearing this, Pei Kuan immediately threw away his hesitation and made a decision immediately. Two quarters of an hour later, when there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from under the city, and then someone shouted to open the door, and claimed to have rushed back from Tongguan, immediately a sergeant with a loud voice came to the edge of the battlement and shouted: "Doctor Pei has a life, and the city gate is not allowed to pass in the middle of the night." Wait all night under the city, and then enter the city after screening them one by one tomorrow morning! ”

"Boom! Fart! I'm waiting to fight the rebels in front, so that you can be safe in Chang'an, and now we have worked hard to escape back, and we have to starve and freeze outside? ”

Hearing the scolding outside the city, Du Youlin secretly rejoiced that the people guarding the east wall of Chang'an City were the most well-trained people under Chibi, otherwise when they encountered such a situation of scolding in unison, the defenders who were already fluctuating in people's hearts were likely to have some kind of undeserved feelings. Seeing that Pei Kuan's mouth was tightly pursed and he didn't say anything, he thought about it, then stepped forward and patted the loud sergeant who had just spoken, and whispered a few words in his ear. It's not that he doesn't want to come forward to talk to these defeated soldiers in person, but he really appeases the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City all day long, and his voice has already been completely hoarse.

"If you fight for the country and fight bloodily, Dr. Pei will naturally not be unsympathetic. Dr. Pei said that after entering the city tomorrow morning, each person will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan for hard work! Tonight, I will grieve you to stay up all night in the city, and we will immediately send wine, meat and cotton clothes in bamboo baskets to keep you full and keep out the cold! ”

After such words, the sound of abuse and shouting under the city gradually decreased. For a while, the generals at the head of the city suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Kuan saw Du Youlin turn around and come back, and couldn't help but nod approvingly, but Du Youlin said softly: "I have already instructed that the rope that is put down should be thin, and the cotton clothes should be thrown down directly, and no one must have the opportunity to help the rope and climb the city wall. I am on duty on the east wall tonight, and I also ask Dr. Pei and Bi Guogong Chu Guogong to rest first, and I am afraid that there will be no time for the next few days. ”

Pei Kuan is over sixty years old, and Dou Yi and Jiang Du are no longer when they were young, and they all feel physically and mentally exhausted when Du Youlin says this. The latter two were not polite to him, and went directly into the city tower to take a nap, and Pei Kuan asked a few more words, and then took Cui Peng back to Jingzhao Mansion in a hurry. As soon as they left, Du Youlin came to the shadow of the city tower and discussed in a low voice with Chibi, who had been hiding here.

After the first rays of dawn lit up, Du Youlin was woken up by a sound. Last night, he was not only on the east city wall, but rode his horse all over the three city walls in the south and northwest, making shift schedules, recording rosters, and distributing corresponding rewards. Therefore, he did not sleep until the second half of the night and took a nap in a daze. At this moment, he opened his eyes to adjust to the light, and then remembered that he was on the city tower, and quickly jumped up and asked bluntly, "How is the situation under the city?" ”

"Du Langjun, many of the defeated troops in the city have fallen asleep drunk, and they haven't woken up yet, only a few people are shouting to open the city gate!"

"Take me to see it!"

Last night, I couldn't see the hazy light of the torch clearly, but now in the morning light, Du Youlin saw the scene of the rout under the city clearly. I saw that there were people lying everywhere, and the war horses were scattered to the side, and it seemed that this was actually a horse army. It's just that these elites of the Tang Dynasty in the past now look unbearable, everyone is covered in blood, and their faces are also stained with blood, so they can't see their faces clearly, so they can only judge the height and shortness. After a moment's thought, he found the sergeant from last night and ordered him to let the highest rank of the soldiers come out first.

Not long after, a middle-aged man who claimed to be the brigade commander Chen Wu was pushed out by the public. Du Youlin personally came forward to ask a few questions, and then he said again: "In order to prevent the rebels from spying, I was ordered by Dr. Pei last night, and the gates of Chang'an will be closed from now on." So for now, I can only put down the hanging basket and let you enter the city one by one. Chen Lushuai, you set the order, if there is a riot, there will be ten thousand arrows in the city, don't say that I didn't inform you earlier! ”

Although such a strict request provoked a burst of complaints, but seeing that many archers appeared on the battlements of the city for a while, pointing directly at the city with arrows of cold light, Chen Wu and the defeated soldiers could not do so for a while, so they could only agree. Suddenly, the hanging basket that was put down pulled the first person. As soon as he jumped off the ground, he was about to stretch his waist when he saw sergeants standing with swords in front of him, on the left and right, and there were no less than dozens of them. Faced with this scene of strict defense, he quickly raised his hand to show that he was not a threat, and handed over his weapon according to the other party's request. But when two sergeants stepped forward and raised his arms one by one, he couldn't help but struggle a few times.

"Didn't you say you wanted to reward us? Why are you arresting us again? ”

"It's just a routine check, and your reward won't be less! After the rebels are repelled, they will naturally release you one by one! ”

The man saw that the person holding him hostage was too strong and couldn't break free, and when he heard the seemingly beautiful young man in front of him say such a big thing, he immediately scoffed: "Fight off the rebels? Joke, Geshu didn't even defeat the rebels, just because there are so many old, weak, sick and disabled people in Chang'an City, do they have such ability? It's not that I'm talking about discouragement, it's better to open the city gate, descend to the damn, maybe there will be a way to live! ”

An old pawn who followed this man to the city had just stood firm at the moment, and when he heard that Ge Shu was handsome, he suddenly lowered his eyelids, not wanting people to see his loneliness. But immediately after, he only heard a few loud words in his ears.

"Of course, these people in Chang'an City alone are not enough to repel the rebels, but the reinforcements from Shuofang and Anbei Yatent City will arrive soon! In addition, Dubo has promised to do it anyway, and now that he is going straight to Youzhou, another army from Anbei Ya Tent City must have entered Hebei Province! Once the thief loses the hinterland of Hebei, where is there room to jump! ”
