Tongguan, Guanzhong 'door' household, the key place of the three provinces, there is Qinling in the south, there is the Meridian Valley in the north, the throat of the Hangu Road is guarded, it has been called the one hundred and two Qinguan since ancient times, known as the first danger in Jin, the reputation of the throat of the four towns, it has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

But now, the majestic Tongguan is now a depression, the city is dilapidated, the trees and dwellings are dry and scorched, and the corpses that can be buried in the future can be vaguely seen in the wilderness.

On the third day of the eighth month, no one expected, Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, got the news that Li Zhi was proclaimed emperor, not only did not quickly rush to the city to fight for the throne, but led the troops to flee all the way from Shangzhou, attacked Tongguan behind his back, seized the pass, and ran all the way to the east of the country.

To say that King Jing is not tossing in Guanzhong, Chang'an should be stable, but the eldest grandson Wuji is almost out of breath, King Jing Li Yuanjing is based in Jingzhou, Guanzhong is isolated, and the hundreds of thousands of people gathered near Shangzhou are just the mob who temporarily rose up to fight and the people who came to it.

But the situation is different when you get out of the customs, originally there are more than 100,000 rebels gathered in the east of Luoyang, and the east is tight, and such a 'chaotic' army is killed behind it, and Luoyang is really mysterious in a short period of time.

Especially King Jing Li Yuanjing is a clan, the earliest contradiction at the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty was the Guanlong Group and the Kanto family, taking advantage of the rebellion 'chaos', there have been many Kanto families secretly causing trouble, and then let them get the clan signboard of King Jing, it is really difficult to clean up.

In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji himself is to blame for this matter, who asked him to transfer the heavy troops of the Central Plains to the Qi State, intending to accept Denglai Erzhou, which caused the emptiness of the Eastern Capital.

Anxious to get on the fire, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had a big blister, had no choice but to urge Li Ji to get out of the customs as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he simply wrote to Li You, the king of Qi, Li Tai, the king of Liao, Li Jie, the king of Fujian, and Li Chengqian, the king of Li, who was finally promoted to the king of one word, and awarded them the title of marching commander, and asked several foreign princes to help fight against the thieves.

Anyway, no matter how the power struggle is, Li Tai is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so he will not help outsiders to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jie's return to Fujian also needed to pass through Luoyang, take the Yellow River to Qidi by boat, and the Kwantung rebels also had to face it.

"Your Highness, you ordered the Tongguan to rise tomorrow? The situation of the Kwantung army is unknown, and it is not easy to rush out of the customs at this time, so it is better to send an envoy to go out of the customs first to explore the form, and it is not too late for the army to calmly leave the customs! ”

The dilapidated Hangu Pass can not stay, the night 'dark' is approaching, the Fujian army simply set up a camp in front of the pass, in the big tent of the Chinese army, a 30-year-old 'shrewd' and capable general found the 'door', after getting the report, he entered the tent and knelt on the ground, anxiously said in a loud and straightforward voice.

However, in the tent, he was holding the "Art of War" left by Li Jing to observe, but Li Jie, the king of Fujian, seemed a little absent-minded, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses and said hello.

"Oh, it's Lao Su, come, sit!"

It's really an acquaintance, when Li Jie first debuted in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Su Lie, the cavalry captain of the Shuofang army on the grassland who came to support, once Li Jie wanted to bring him under his account, but unfortunately Li Shimin also remembered that such a brave young general who led more than 200 cavalry to storm the Turkic tent and captured Jieli Khan alive, did not agree, and asked to come back to Guanzhong.

Then Su Lie was unfavorable, people were going to come back, but Li Shimin forgot, for several years in a row in Longyou in a certain Zhichong Mansion as the commander of Zhichong, did not catch up with the golden period of the conquest of Goguryeo, has been wasting the years for several years, a while ago I heard that Li Jie returned to Guanzhong, Su Lie simply resigned and came to serve, just right, and finally got his wish by Li Jie abducted out of Chang'an.

Don't underestimate this guy who looks thin and inconspicuous, several famous generals of the Gaozong Dynasty, excluding the older generation, Su Lie ranked first, and later Pei Xingjian, Hei Tooth Changzhi was promoted by him, and defeated the Western Turks, it can be said that Su Lie established the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and even Central Asia.

Yes, he also has a special name, directly called the word, Su Dingfang.

"Dingfang, I didn't have dinner, I happened to be lonely here, and the wild 'chicken' that the kid who hunted with black teeth often roasted tasted good, oh~"

Smeared with salt, sesame seeds, and cumin, which was more expensive than gold at that time, even if the rotten 'meat' could be roasted fragrantly, not to mention the natural and pollution-free game, but he was worried, Li Jie was such a careless corporal Lixian, and Su Lie didn't know whether to be angry or moved.

Leng Buding's eyes glanced at the "Art of War of Wei Gong" on Li Jie's desk, and there was obvious envy in his eyes, and Su Lie persuaded him again: "Your Highness, Li Weigong is like a god, if Li Weigong is here, he will definitely not rush out of the customs without knowing the enemy's situation." ”

Seeing that this guy had an expression of not reaching his goal and not leaving, Li Jie couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly, casually picked up one of the copies of "The Art of War", stretched out his hand and threw it to Su Lie.

"Wei Gong is surprisingly using soldiers, and going out of Tongguan alone is according to Wei Gong's Law of War, don't believe it, go back and see it yourself."

\Ha ha\

Su Lie is a soldier, for a soldier, the art of war is much more attractive than gold, holding that book Su Lie is like holding a hot sweet potato, itching with a cat in his heart, but he still doesn't dare to accept it easily.

"Your Highness, this is left to you by Li Weigong."

"You also said it was for me, and besides, it was for you to figure out Lone's strategic intentions, go quickly." Impatiently, Li Jie picked up the book again, waved his hand like a fly, and Su Lie helplessly held the book and went out of the 'door'.

Li Jie was the only one left, and surprisingly, he lost the mood to read, and walked out of the tent with emotion, looking at the dilapidated Tongguan and not knowing what he was thinking.

The next day, the Fujian convoy was still as planned, out of Tongguan, and rushed into the Central Plains along Hangu Pass.

Along the south bank of the Yellow River to Luoyang, it was peaceful for several days along the way, or the Sanhe knights were in the lead, and the large team was guarded in the Chinese army, but the cavalry pioneer Su Dingfang was absent-minded and fascinated for the past two days.

In a few days, there was basically no news of the rebels, but since the beginning of Tongguan, large areas of empty villages along the way have been abandoned, and the corpses of ** can often be seen in the wilderness, and the towns are also a lot more barren, and it is obvious that Li Jie's mood is not very good along the way.

On this day, there was only half a day's journey left from Luoyang, and it was about to arrive in the eastern capital, but the vanguard cavalry in front of it came with strange news, the convoy stopped, and Li Jie led the guards to step forward in person, but he couldn't help but gasp for the tragic situation in front of him.

A small village that is quite large has now been burned to the ground, and the corpses are scattered everywhere, and the surviving 'female' children are nestled in the group of rotting corpses, which has become numb, and when they see the Tang army approaching, these people 'show' hateful eyes.

"What's going on, this is the rear of Luoyang, could it be that King Jing's rebels slaughtered it?" Seeing this scene, Li Jie was obviously stunned, and stepped forward angrily, not wanting to lean on the foundation of the half-burned dilapidated house on the edge of the village, but an old man who looked like he was dead opened his eyes suddenly.

"Don't pretend to be an official dog, if it's not for you old men, how could our Xiaotang Village become like this? Originally, there was no food, and he had to come to collect grain, collect grain, and kill people and burn houses if he didn't give food, old man ......"

"Dad, don't say it!" At this time, a young 'woman' with a 'flower' letter ran out anxiously with a white cloth on her head, and knelt on the ground in fear: "Official, my father-in-law is old and confused, please be a big man, don't be like him." ”

Hearing this, Li Jie was completely stunned, and for a long time, he waved his hand weakly: "Come on, transfer food from the Chinese army to the people." ”

"King Min!"

"Do as Gu says!" Before Su Dingfang finished admonishing him, Li Jie waved his hand impatiently.

Bags of grain were unloaded from the convoy, and the villagers of Xiaotang Village, who were holding bags of hemp, were obviously quite surprised.

Compared with the ease of Xiaotang Village, the military camp of the Fujian convoy was full of tension and slaughter.

"What, if you don't enter Luoyang City, you will follow the eastern area of the Yellow River at night, Your Highness, you are not crazy, are you?"

In the buzzing discussion, even Su Lie couldn't sit still, after Luoyang City, it was a war zone, I don't know how many tens of thousands of rebels on the other side, his own army is not as good as that of King Liao of Qi, and there are more than 20,000 non-combatants, marching in the hundreds of thousands of rebels is tantamount to 'meat' buns and dogs, no wonder even Su Dingfang, who has always been bold, couldn't help jumping up and screaming.

I didn't want Li Jie to be stubborn this time, so he directly slapped the table and stood up and roared: "King Lone Min, since you have taken refuge in me, you should listen to my orders, could it be that you can also use this reason to fear the enemy when you face thousands of troops in the future?" ”

In a word, Su Dingfang and his gang are out of breath, this era is the era of imperial power, the cult of personality, these 30,000 people from Guanlong are basically branches of various families who are not doing well, I heard that the construction of Fujian is getting better and better, so I am willing to follow Li Jienan, multiply, take root, and it is also a means for the family's 'door' valve to grow.

Get back? The family's land has been divided among others, and no one wants to take them in and can't go back, and a large group of captains who were appointed according to their blood clans had to remain silent.

Taking advantage of the night', along the Yellow River, the convoy once again twisted and went, even if it avoided the main battlefield near Luoyang, there were still floating corpses along the way, and the white bones were 'exposed' in the field, scattering the cavalry within a few hundred meters on both sides of the team, Su Dingfang's nerves were simply tense to the extreme, and the infantry guarding the left and right of the vehicle was also full of vigilance, and their expressions were focused on guarding the left and right.

However, I was really afraid of something, I didn't go out of ten miles along the Yellow River, and suddenly a brightly lit battalion appeared in front of me, and the Tang army soldiers defending Luoyang were less than 50,000, basically guarding the military important places near Luoyang.

However, without waiting for him to give the order to defend, Li Jie rode to the front line like no one else, and lined up a dwarf to communicate, and in the time of a stick of incense, dozens of horsemen in the opposite camp came out of the dark night, and were on guard, Su Dingfang subconsciously leaned behind Li Jie, and was juxtaposed with Hei Tooth Changzhi, but in the next second, Su Dingfang almost didn't bare out of his eyes.

"Lang Jun!"

With a coquettish shout, a petite figure in the leader on the opposite side jumped off the horse and pounced, and the dexterity actually jumped into the arms of Li Jie at once, which was obviously quite familiar, and even the Turkic horse king and the second dog, who had always been 'sexual', only snorted disdainfully.

What's going on? All of a sudden, Su Lie's head was not enough......
