Chapter 1188 will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted
This time he turned to Heluo, ambushed Tian Chenghe's reinforcements, Huya was covered with several wounds, and the leading troops fought to the death, so that the rebels who were several times their own had to flee back to Chenliu, which can be said to be second only to the battle of Yunzhou in his life. Now that they are reunited with Du Shiyi, they are going to be classified into the Anbei Ya soldier sequence again, and they will follow Du Shiyi again to fight the rebels, and they have obtained the promise just now, and their hearts are boiling hot, who knows that after Li Xin came in a hurry, what he announced was such an incredible will.
The rebels are still entrenched in Hebei, with an army of no less than 100,000 people, what does Li Longji want to do?
Seeing that many people in front of him were angry, Du Shiyi remained silent. Brave and loyal as Yue Fei, he still needs twelve gold medals before he has to return, he is at this juncture, because of Li Longji's vain words to rush back to Chang'an? Li Longji's calculations are indeed very good, but unfortunately, he is not the loyal Yue Fei, and Du Youlin, who stayed in Chang'an, is not Yue Yun! Therefore, he stretched out his hand to suppress the tooth soldiers who had gradually become noisy, and seeing Li Xin's face full of helplessness and bitterness, he said in a deep voice: "There is a good saying, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." ”
Li Xideng gasped, but when Du Shiyi turned to face him, he remembered that when Yu Wenrong was in trouble, only Du Shiyi helped his family, and then even won a pardon, but Yu Wenrong died in Lingnan because of many people's selfishness, and that trace of instinctive speculation suddenly disappeared. After all, when Pei Ning saved a few of his people, he once said that it was Du Shiyi's entrustment. If Du Shiyi had any two hearts, wouldn't it be best to sit back and watch all of them die cleanly?
"Zicheng, I won't embarrass you. Now there are still more than 5,000 soldiers left in Luoyang City, please give me an order for me to gather them in front of the three bridges in Tianjin. ”
didn't have time to think too much, so Li Xin agreed, and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements. At this time, Huya finally couldn't help it, and after stepping forward to block Du Shiyi's way, he shouted: "Since the marshal said that he will be outside, and the king's order is not subject to it, will he not go back to Chang'an, nor will he postpone his march to Hebei?" ”
"If you don't obey the king's order at all without a reason, you are a rebel and a thief." Du Shiyi smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed it heavily on Huya's shoulder, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, the last thing I like to do is to die!" ”
Although Li Xin personally went back and ordered people to gather the soldiers left behind, and did not reveal the reason for this, but there were people around him who had different thoughts, so when everyone gathered in the square in front of the Tianjin Bridge in Luoyang Palace, there were already different opinions, and the soldiers were either filled with righteous indignation, or exchanged heads and ears, or discussed countermeasures in groups...... All in all, the scene was like a pot of porridge. Luoyang Palace was also the living place of several generations of the Tang Dynasty, and thousands of officials often gathered here during the Great Dynasty Meeting, so so many people crowded here, it didn't seem too crowded, but the atmosphere here was too noisy.
It wasn't until someone suddenly shouted "Du Dashuai is here" that the scene gradually quieted down. Although people in the officialdom have quickly changed their words to call Du Shiyi Xiangguo, in the minds of many soldiers, who have followed Du Shiyi for so many years, only the word Dashuai can express their admiration and respect in their hearts.
In this kind of open area, Du Shiyi knew that his voice might not be able to be heard by everyone clearly, but he also knew that most people would rather come to the scene and rely on the words they heard and others to relay them, rather than hear the answer from a few mouths afterwards. He has practiced this kind of thing many times in Shuofang and Anbei, and he doesn't feel that there is any difficulty at this time. However, for people such as Li Xin, Lu Yi, and Zhang Jieran, the envoy of Henan Jiedu, they are quite nervous about this situation.
"Today, Chang'an has just sent an urgent order, saying that His Majesty is seriously ill, and I am ordered to return to Beijing immediately, and at the same time suspend the march to Hebei. But there is a way is a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, not to mention that the rebels are still entrenched in Hebei, the officials and people of Hebei counties who responded to the call of the imperial court to raise the banner of rebellion are all still in danger, if the army is suspended, then every state and county is broken, there will be tens of thousands of officials and soldiers will suffer from the catastrophe! An Lushan's rebellion had early signs, but because it was not dealt with early, it caused such a big chaos. Now that Luoyang City has just recovered from a catastrophe, how many families have lost their loved ones and cannot be reunited? Is it now that I want to abandon the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hebei? ”
Seeing that Du Shiyi actually started with such a remark, Li Xin vaguely understood something. Sure enough, there was a thunderous burst of joy and thunder. Hearing what people wanted, he sighed bitterly, but he didn't defend against it, Lu Yi pulled his sleeve hard, and said in a low voice: "What does Du Xiangguo mean, do you have to disobey the order and not return?" You must know that now there are only a few of us in Luoyang who are waiting for crimes, in case someone in Chang'an slanders them, no one will listen to us when we speak for him! ”
Li Xin's heart was heavy, and he replied in a low voice after a while: "But Your Majesty's life is really too embarrassing. ”
After the army gradually settled down, Du Shiyi said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the three armies cannot delay their march into Hebei!" Not only can it not be delayed, but the food and salary supply on the front line must further keep up, and this depends on everyone sitting in Luoyang! There are still many grains and grasses in Luoyang that the rebels did not have a chance to take away and burn, coupled with the Jianghuai transshipment, which is enough to make the soldiers on the front line have no worries. I know that those who stay will probably sigh that they have no chance to make meritorious contributions, but the front line is hard, there are always casualties, and you will have to go up sooner or later, and although this Heluo neighborhood has been swept once, it is inevitable that there will be remnants of the army, and the safety of the entire Heluo is now tied to you! ”
With a burst of echoes that went straight into the sky, the officials present all sensed the determination and morale of the army. And Zhang Jieran, who was temporarily driven to the shelves and suffered a fiasco, really realized what it means to be overwhelming and unstoppable. If he had such a general under his command at that time, how could he have been defeated like a mountain?
"Your Majesty is seriously ill, recall me back, as a courtier, I should have reported to the former Fang Jie to comfort my father, but now Luoyang Kefu is half a month ago, Yejun is still deadlocked, Hebei is still in the flames of war, and the rebels may counterattack at any time! When I returned to Beijing this time, I was really ashamed. Therefore, on this occasion, I also ask all the warriors to unite as one, practice bravely, and wait for me to return and lead you to kill the enemy! ”
"Kill, kill!"
Even though thousands of people gradually dispersed, Li Xin and the others still had a thrilling feeling. They are all guilty bodies, so far the imperial court has not announced the punishment for their fall into Luoyang, although everyone is still in the original position, trying their best to maintain and restore order in Luoyang, but their hearts are all empty. Now that they heard that Du Shiyi said that he did not agree to suspend the use of troops in Hebei and ordered the front to attack Ye County, but he was willing to go back, their feelings were even more complicated. The general was not subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and Du Shiyi was not subject to the chaotic order of suspending the use of troops, but what he promised was to return to Beijing first, which was really unexpected by each of them.
If it was the opposite, Du Shiyi promised to suspend the use of troops in Hebei and ordered the troops to rest and recuperate, but he just stayed in Luoyang and did not go back, and sat back and watched the officials and people of many prefectures and counties in Hebei suffer, then they had to die of embarrassment!
"Zicheng, I will leave for Chang'an early tomorrow morning, and the defense of Luoyang City and the purge of traitors in Heluo will be handed over to my henchman Huya. The pacification of the officials and the people in Luoyang City is up to you. ”
Du Shiyi was the most familiar with Li Xin, and after arching his hand to him, he waved at the others, and just turned around and left. As soon as he left, Zhang Jieran, who was lost in his soul, couldn't help but say: "What is Your Majesty calling Du Dashuai back for?" If it is a sick and important prince can be selected from the clan, how can this kind of thing be done by a courtier? If something earth-shattering happens, this excellent situation of counterinsurgency will not only have to come to naught, but I am afraid it will be even more chaotic than before! ”
"What do you mean, don't make trouble for Xiangguo!" Lu Yi reprimanded Zhang Jieran in annoyance, and then suddenly remembered something, "Why has Pei Sanlang disappeared recently?" ”
However, they soon lost sight of Pei Ning's whereabouts. After dragging their tired bodies back to the official office, they got another unexpected news.
Lizhou Yichang guarded Wang Zhonghei, and wrote a letter to refuse the post of envoy of Hexi Jiedu, saying that he was already tired and decrepit, and recommended Hexi Governor to make Nan Jiyun replace him.
How old is Wang Zhonghe? It's just the same age as Du Shiyi, and now it's less than fifty! If it weren't for the fact that he was seriously injured because the Son of Heaven strictly ordered him to seize Shibao City, and returned to Beijing with his injuries, he was interrogated by the cool officials, and then he was demoted to Yichang, Lizhou, and was almost killed, how could he be so disheartened as he is now?
Huya was a little reluctant to stay in Luoyang, but Princess Gu'an said that he must be safe outside, so he could only reluctantly agree. As for Princess Gu'an herself, she left quietly one step earlier than Du Shiyi, returned to Guanzhong to deal with possible emergencies, and left Xue Song to Du Shiyi before leaving. In addition to selecting a hundred brave elites among the tooth soldiers, Du Shiyi summoned Li Huaiyu to the front.
"I just got the news, your cousin Hou Xiyi has raised the banner of rebellion in Pinglu, killed Lu Zhizhi, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu appointed by the thief, and was elected by the soldiers as the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, and forced Yuyang."
Li Huaiyu followed Du Shiyi every day, but he had never heard such a news, he couldn't help but gasp and widen his eyes suddenly. He always thought that his cousin was talented but never able to get there, but now that the opportunity came, he smelled the murderous intent behind it. Hebei Province has now invested several of the most elite troops and horses in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the rebel forces are also unprecedentedly strong, and my cousin is directly inserted into Yuyang County, the most important part of An Lushan, isn't the pressure the greatest?
"Therefore, for the safety of Xiyi, for the bloody struggle of countless soldiers in front, and the well-being of countless officials and people in Hebei, although I have to go back to Beijing this time, I also need to go back quickly!"
Dropping this sentence, Du Shiyi stood up with a shake of the sleeves of her robe, without the slightest hesitation on her face. See the poor dagger, what trick does Li Longji have, just come out and take a look!
The twentieth volume of the iron cavalry stood out and the swords and spears were fired
