In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, on the third day of the ninth month, the north gateway of Hedong Road, Yanmen Pass and the west gateway Jingcheng Pass, were captured by the Youzhou army within one day, more than 48,000 Hedong troops were killed, and Du Qianyun was frightened in a war, and fled in embarrassment.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, An Lushan personally led 80,000 troops from Lingshou into Jingcheng Pass, Tian Qianzhen, Zhang Tongru, Cai Xide, Li Guiren accompanied him, Tian Chengsi led 20,000 troops to stay in Lingshou, confronted the Changshan Tang Army, and led 5,000 infantry to Runke to guard Jingcheng, what made An Lushan even more overjoyed was that on the evening of the third day of September, Zhang Xiancheng returned;

On the other side, Gao Xiuyan led 30,000 troops from Yanmen Pass to the south, along the way the defenders of Hedong or fled from the wind, or people panicked and held on to less than an hour to be conquered, a total of 100,000 Youzhou troops in the east and north, and the momentum was fierce to Taiyuan.

The military and civilians of Hedong couldn't imagine that there was a good situation before, and the newly arrived Hedong Jiedu envoy Du Qianyun and Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye were not all full of confidence, and Top Gun said that he would put down the rebellion in one fell swoop, comfort the king, save the people, eliminate the rebellion, and clarify Yuyu's?

How did this suddenly happen?

100,000 Youzhou troops rushed forward from the east and north, and the entire land east of the river fell into extreme panic at once. Countless people in Hedong Road dragged their families and fled crying all the way, but how could two legs outrun the four-legged light cavalry, along the way, I don't know how many Han people were cut down on the side of the road by these Youzhou Hu horses.

The Hedong army was frightened, and the Youzhou army was crazy enough, and along the way, Youzhou fought because of the strategy of feeding the enemy, and did not set up camp, nor did it carry heavy grain and grass, but where it hit. Wherever it was grabbed, from Yanmen Pass and Jingcheng Pass to Taiyuan, all the way there were beacons everywhere, and everywhere they passed, the people of countless villages and towns were slaughtered and plundered. was ravaged, and the hell on earth in Hebei Province once again befell the people of the Han family in Hedong Province.

And at this moment in the city of Taiyuan, since Du Qianyun fled back to Taiyuan in a hurry, it is a panicked and panicked apocalyptic scene, hundreds of people are full of exhaustion, panic and fled to Taiyuan, there are more than 16,000 Hedong defenders here, and there are Hedong Jiedu envoys and Taiyuan Yin here. Fleeing here always makes these refugees feel more at ease.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was also a frenzy of fleeing in Taiyuan City, and more people flocked to the west gate and the south gate, crying and shouting to escape from the city. The landlords of the family and the high-ranking families drove the carriages and horses, and the guards and slaves in the courtyard desperately shouted in front to give way, and some even simply beat their heads and faces with sticks to drive them away.

The poor people relied on two legs, helping the old and the young, dragging their families and mouths, surging south with the crowd, and naturally no one would maintain order at this time. Even if it was to escape, it was a mess, and all the people were stuck in one place.

The chariots and horses of the big families came. As soon as the crowd rushed, how many relatives were separated, and heart-rending cries rang out.

In the end, the entire Taiyuan four gates. is such a chaotic apocalyptic scene, and what's more, some green-skinned scoundrels also took advantage of this chaotic opportunity to break into the house and rob. Holding sheep and fishing in troubled waters made the situation even more messy, and as soon as the Youzhou Army came, it was a result of destruction.

And the Hedong Jiedu that caused all this made Du Qianyun and Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye sit in the festival hall of the Hedong Army at this time, panicking all day long, their hearts are like numbness, and they have no idea at all!

After half a ring, Du Qianyun, the newly appointed Hedong Jiedu who had been appointed for less than half a month and had only been officially appointed for ten days, suddenly glared at Wang Chengye and complained loudly: "How is this good, how is this good?" It's all you, it's all you! If you hadn't sent troops to Jingcheng and Yanmen, how could there be such a big defeat! ”

Wang Chengye smiled bitterly in his heart, when the Tiance army defeated the Youzhou army in the Julu and Qinghe battlefields, killing more than 70,000 enemies, the news reached Taiyuan, this Du Qianyun couldn't sit still, eager to try, and boldly exercised the power of his temperance envoy, and it was the big school to review the army, and it was the opening of the treasury to reward the three armies, and he was a fool who knew what he wanted to do.

Later, there was news that the Datong army, which was very anxious to attack Yanmen Pass, suddenly withdrew and fled north in a hurry, this Du Qianyun didn't think about it, and immediately ordered the Yanmen defenders to go north to Yanmen to pursue, and he was ready to personally lead the army east out of Jingcheng Pass.

Then at this time, five people suddenly appeared, claiming to be the internal guards under the king of Jianning of Tiance Mansion, and took the information that 20,000 Youzhou troops were ambushing on both sides of the mountain road outside Jingcheng Pass, and asked the Hedong army not to fight, and said that the Datong army was also a plan to lure the enemy.

On the one hand, Du Qianyun was half-convinced, but on the other hand, he was jealous, very unwilling to believe, very unwilling, but he had to ask himself.

At that time, he only said that he had to take precautions, and he had to be careful, and this Du Qianyun was tens of thousands of unhappy, so he had to change his words and say that it must be the fake news that the Tiance Army was afraid that the Hedong Army would rob the power release, and Du Qianyun immediately nodded in agreement.

To put it bluntly, he himself wants to send troops and insists on sending troops, just to ask for peace of mind from himself!

Now that the army is defeated, he blames Lao Tzu, which is really shameless, but his official position is above himself, and Wang Chengye can't care about it.

He thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Dashuai, the matter has come to this, what's the use of talking about it again?" It's better to think about it, what should we do in this situation? ”

Du Qianyun, the fleeing general, was already blank in his mind at the moment, and he just said: "What should I do, what should I do?" ”

Seeing that he was so unbearable, Wang Chengye just sneered in his heart, how could Yang Guozhong send such a waste to sit in Hedong: "Dashuai, you are the commander of a town, whether to defend or withdraw, and you have to make a decision early, the vanguard of the Youzhou army is less than two hundred miles away from Taiyuan." ”

Du Qianyun finally admitted at this time, and said in a panic: "Jiyuan, a certain heart is in turmoil, I really don't know what to do, and I ask Jiyuan to plan one or two for a certain one, one or two!" ”

Wang Chengye just smiled bitterly: "Dashuai, in the current situation, if you can hold on, the best way is naturally to stick to Taiyuan and wait for help."

As long as we can drag the Youzhou army in Taiyuan for ten days, as long as the Shuofang army in the west and the Tiance army in the south arrive, we can encircle and annihilate these 100,000 Youzhou troops in the east of the river, not only can we atone for our sins, but maybe we can also make great contributions! ”

The light in Du Qianyun's eyes flashed. But soon it turned back to lost soul: "Hold on, hold on, it's not easy to say, the Youzhou army has 100,000, but my Hedong army is only 16,000, and the army's heart has been lost." Morale is low, people are panicking, how can they be the opponent of these 100,000 Youzhou troops, and how can they hold on for ten days! ”

Wang Chengye sneered in his heart, but said solemnly on the surface: "If the marshal doesn't have the confidence to hold on, it's better to retreat early." ”

"Retreat, where to retreat?" Du Qianyun said eagerly.

"Naturally, it is to withdraw in the direction of Gyeonggi Province and cross the Yellow River."

"Yes, yes. You're right, withdraw early, withdraw early! Du Qianyun said loudly, his eyes suddenly had an extremely bright light, and then he suddenly reacted and said gloomily: "Can't withdraw, can't withdraw, Your Majesty and Prime Minister Yang have such a heavy responsibility." Not only did he lose his troops, but now he is also fleeing. Even if Yang Xiang can spare a certain person, His Majesty can't spare me! Can't be withdrawn! ”

Wang Chengye said coldly: "In this case, then please ask the marshal to leave the marshal's mansion and quickly stabilize the hearts of the army." Arrange manpower, strengthen the city defenses, and build fortifications. Arrange accommodation for the fleeing people, distribute rations, organize heavy and strong people to help defend the city, inspect the city defense day and night, and boost the morale of the army! ”

Du Qianyun was stunned for a moment. Hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't say that these can't be done, even if they do, they can't keep this Taiyuan." ”

Wang Chengye looked at this wreck, and his tone was cold: "That handsome man is not actively defending the city, and he doesn't retreat early, isn't this sitting still?" Or is the marshal ready to wait for the Youzhou army to come and surrender the city? ”

Du Qianyun's body trembled: "The whole family is in Chang'an, and besides, the Youzhou army will be defeated if it rebels, how can it be a thief!" ”

"But if Danxin abandons the city and flees, he will be condemned by His Majesty, or even beheaded?"

Du Qianyun couldn't care less about being reserved at this time, and nodded hurriedly, Wang Chengye smiled again: "Didn't the marshal be assassinated on the way to his post?" Hasn't this matter been reported to His Majesty and Yang Xiang? Da Shuai Da can make a fuss about this. ”

Du Qianyun's eyes widened: "How to make an article?" ”

"The marshal pushed everything to Tiance Mansion and to King Jianning. It is said that it has now been ascertained that it was not the snaketooth assassin who assassinated the marshal, but the person of Li Qi, the king of Jianning. Then you can also put the blame for the two big defeats on the Tiance Mansion and the King of Jianning. ”

Du Qianyun's eyes were already glaring at the maximum: "How to push, isn't this reversing black and white, there is no evidence, how can Your Majesty believe it?" ”

Wang Chengye smiled weirdly: "How can Your Majesty not believe it? His Majesty is now suspicious of King Jianning, if it weren't for that, how could he appoint the marshal as the envoy of the Hedong Festival.

Dashuai, you said that King Jianning wanted Li Guangbi to be the envoy of the Hedong Festival, so he assassinated you; King Jianning wanted to consume the strength of the Hedong Army, so he knew that the Youzhou Army was ambushed outside Jingcheng Pass, but he deliberately sent a message to invite you to send troops to Jingcheng Pass; What you wanted to hold on to this time was that it was Li Qi, the king of Jianning, who mobilized his soldiers to rebel and beat you away......

Dashuai said this, Your Majesty is naturally willing to believe it, Your Majesty is willing to believe it, so he will not investigate, besides, there is Yang Xiang to speak for you.

In this way, His Majesty will only be angry with the Tiance Mansion and King Jianning, and the marshal will not be guilty at all! ”

Although Du Qianyun is good enough to breed and straw bales, he still has a little bit of IQ, especially the ability to drill the camp to see the style, he is the best at it, the emperor's mind, and Yang Guozhong's mind, how could he not know?

His Majesty will definitely be angry with King Jianning, and Yang Guozhong will definitely fan the flames in order to fight against Li Qi, the king of Jianning, and in order to annex the Four Seas Trading Company, he will not only be fine, but maybe he will continue to be reused, which is really wonderful!

Du Qianyun was overjoyed, and made a long bow to Wang Chengye: "Jiyuan's words, a certain mouth suddenly opened, Jiyuan is really a great benefactor, a great nobleman, please accept Qianyun!" ”

Wang Chengye hurriedly said that he was broken, and then Du Ganyun asked some specific matters about the evacuation, whether to take the troops away, what to do in Taiyuan City, how to hide people's eyes and ears, and so on.

When he heard Wang Chengye say that he would stay in Taiyuan and hold on to the Youzhou army for him, Du Qianyun was simply moved, Wang Chengye just sneered in his heart, and all he thought about was what he said last night, when several Tiance internal guards found him.

"Du Qianyun has been defeated, and if you wait for the defeated army to lose your general, your life will definitely not be guaranteed...... If you do what we say, and make sure that you will atone for your sins, the high officials will do it...... If not, kill your whole family now! ”

So, not long after dark on the night of the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Du Qianyun took 30 henchmen and guards, as well as 12 Tang Sect masters, and fled out of the city.

After Du Qianyun and his entourage walked for almost half an hour, a group of more than 20 people walked into the mansion of Taiyuan Mansion in the night, and the person headed by him was more than six feet three inches tall, burly and strong, with a dark face and a short beard like a halberd, it was Xiao Quai's favorite general - Nan Jiyun!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Chengye passed down another order, asking the three classes of officials, arresting fast, and bad people to the government office to listen to the order, and then sent people to the military camp with the military talisman seal letter left by Du Qianyun, and called several generals of the Hedong Army, Xin Yunjing, Murong Yi, Zhang Fengzhang, etc., as well as more than a dozen middle-level generals, to the government office.

Soon after, when everyone arrived, Wang Chengye randomly announced that Du Qianyun had secretly fled with his henchmen, and explained the truth about the reason why the Hedong army would be defeated, and announced that Du Qianyun was ready to frame the Tiance army and the king of Jianning.

The terrain of Hedong is dangerous, as long as these Xiongguan are dangerous, the land of Hedong is the safety of Mount Tai, but because of Du Qianyun's greed, more than 48,000 comrades were killed in battle, not to mention, and these Youzhou beast soldiers were beaten into the hinterland of Hedong, and hundreds of people were devastated.

Which of these sergeants and generals of the Hedong Army is not from Hedong, and the people of Hedong killed by the Youzhou rebels are their fathers and villagers.

All of a sudden, most of the generals and officials were both sad and angry, and they all scolded Du Qianyun for harming people, and scolded the Youzhou military generals for revenge and wolf ambitions, all of which should be cut with a thousand knives.

When the time was almost over, Wang Chengye introduced Nan Jiyun and several internal guards and special combat members of Tiance Mansion, saying that he was determined to stay and hold Taiyuan, but he was a civilian official and was incapable of commanding the war, so he was willing to take charge of logistics.

Maintain order, calm people's hearts, settle people's homes, and distribute food by mouth; Organize the people, craftsmen repair blades, build trebuchets, assemble eight-oxen crossbows, organize strong men to help defend the city, etc.; The military affairs of Taiyuan City were handed over to the highest military rank here, presided over by Nan Jiyun, the Guide general of Tiance Mansion, and Xin Yunjing as his deputy, vowing to stick to Taiyuan City and fight against the Youzhou rebels to the end.

Most of the generals and men are in a state of anger, and they are naturally full of enthusiasm, saying that they want to kill all the rebels in Youzhou and take revenge, and it is naturally better for someone to take against the Youzhou soldiers.

However, there are also a few people who are shaken, saying that the Youzhou army is strong, it is better to avoid it for the time being, and then they were beheaded by Wang Chengye and Nan Jiyun on the spot, killing people and establishing authority, and the rest of the people also strengthened their military hearts, and a few people were dissatisfied with Nan Jiyun and did not dare to speak, only said in their hearts that it would be up to him to see his ability when the time comes.

After doing this, the entire Taiyuan City was mobilized that night, and generals at all levels descended to the troops one after another to calm the morale of the army, and sent 400 sentry cavalry overnight to the east and north to sentry and guard.

All the officials of Taiyuan Mansion were also dispatched to calm the hearts of the people, and organized the original people of Taiyuan City and the people who fled into detachments, so that all the people could do their best to prepare for the upcoming war.

100,000 Youzhou rebels swept south, ready to drive straight in, light cavalry rushed forward, all the way to Chang'an, the whole battle situation reached a rather critical moment, seeing that this day, it was about to overturn and collapse.

Nan Jiyun, Xin Yunjing, Murong Yi, Zhang Fengzhang, as well as Wang Chengye, who was coerced or willing, as well as Xiao Quai, Li Qi and others who broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the news, as well as more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan, are doing their best to save the day.

At this time, the Tang Emperor Li Longji came to the front line of the Tiance Army in Hebei Province and Julu County, following the story of Han Gaozu seizing Han Xin's military power, and collected the military power of the 150,000 Tiance Army of the entire southern defense line at once, controlled Cao Xueyang, and sent a cavalry to Changshan, and Li Qi, the king of Xuanjianning, quickly went south to see the driver.

At the same time, the 6,000 Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and the 5,000 Flying Dragon Forbidden Army also marched eastward by boat not long after, and then landed in Hebei Province, and Chang'an became more and more empty!

Then Li Longji calmed down, and even waited for Li Qi to arrive, and then imprisoned him in Chang'an's Baisun Courtyard from then on, just like other grandsons, Li Longji suddenly received the news that Hedong was broken, and then his whole person was instantly petrified! (To be continued.) )
