The next day, Li Bao realized that he had planned the day before, and he was too optimistic. Because he didn't have as many troops at his disposal as he thought.

The Flying Dragon Army he originally envisioned had been transferred to Tongguan by Tian Lingzi. Before setting off, Yang Siqi brought Zhang Siliang and Liu Dequan, two generals of the Flying Dragon Army, to meet Li Bao.

Knowing that Tian Lingzi strictly ordered the Flying Dragon Army to go to Tongguan with Zhang Chengfan to defend the Huangchao Army, Li Bao was very angry when he heard it, this Tian Lingzi was so hateful, and the reliance on his hands was the Flying Dragon Army and Zhang Zhifang's Weiyuan Army.

Now the Feilong Army is transferred to Tongguan, and the Weiyuan Army is responsible for the defense of Chang'an City. Wouldn't he be even more insecure in this way, Li Bao knew that Tian Lingzi had already made up his mind to flee to Shuzhong, and at this time, sending people to guard Tongguan was just to buy time for them to escape.

At this time, Li Bao must face up to the situation in front of him. Now that the soldiers in Chang'an City are in chaos, if Tian Lingzi orders the Shence Army to get rid of himself when he leaves, then he will not be himself a fish and a knife.

At that time, it will be impossible for the Flying Dragon Army and the Weiyuan Army to keep themselves safe. It was November now, and he vaguely remembered that Huang Chao entered Chang'an in December. At present, the time is pressing, and the transfer of personnel around me should be carried out early.

Li Bao summoned Hu Sanbao and asked him to contact Jin Luanwei's people, and give priority to transferring Ling'er Xinniang Yunfang and others, as well as their families and the palace people in King Ji's mansion.

These people have been following him for some years, Li Bao is a nostalgic person, human life is like a mustard in troubled times, he doesn't want to abandon them, at least give them a chance to live.

After instructing Hu Sanbao, Li Bao turned to Yang Siqi again and asked him to take it, and then he worked hard to write, and after a while, he wrote a letter, and then took out a bag, sealed the letter paper into the bag, and handed it to Yang Siqi.

"This bag is an order I gave you, now I don't want you to open it after you leave Chang'an City with the army, understand?"

Bao said solemnly, Yang Siqi immediately realized that King Ji must have made a major decision, his face was serious, this was a life-and-death juncture, he believed in Li Bao, and knew that Li Bao would never let them die in vain.

Moreover, since he took refuge in Li Bao, both his career and his money have been guaranteed, and he has already made up his mind to follow Li Bao.

Li Bao comforted Yang Siqi, Zhang Siliang and Liu Dequan again, and told them to act according to the order, and then sent the three of them away.

When Yang Siqi was sent away, Li Bao stayed in the study, thinking and planning alone, he had a big game of chess in his heart, he must play well this time, otherwise if he failed, he could only die.

………………………………………………

In Chang'an City, because the Shence Army is about to march to Tongguan to defend it, Chang'an City is full of parting sorrow and desolation, but more of them are fear.

On November 25, a grand departure ceremony was held at Chengtianmen outside the imperial city. Emperor Li Yi rewarded Zhang Chengfan and others richly and had high hopes for them.

But Zhang Chengfan did not seem to be encouraged, but instead said to Emperor Li Yujin: "I heard that Huangchao has hundreds of thousands of people marching westward. Qi Kerang led a group of hungry soldiers to rely on the outside of the pass, and now let the ministers garrison Tongguan with only 2,000 men and horses, and did not hear of His Majesty's plan to give money, so let the ministers refuse the thieves, and the ministers are afraid that they will live up to the grace of the gods. ”

When Emperor Li Yi heard this, his face was suddenly clouded, and he vaguely felt that he was counting on these people to hold Tongguan, and he was afraid that there was little hope, but Li Yi was still patient, and told Zhang Chengfan with a smile that he only had to send troops to Tongguan, and then he would send additional reinforcements and military salaries.

In fact, Zhang Chengfan also understood that there was neither food and grass nor reinforcements here, and it must be more than auspicious, and His Majesty the Emperor's words should be regarded as the wind in his ears, but he was forced by the emperor's edict to reluctantly lead the soldiers and horses to Tongguan.

When they arrived in Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi), they happened to encounter the transfer of the assassin Shi from the jurisdiction, and the people in the city learned that the local war was about to start, so they all fled into Huashan with their families, leaving only an empty city, so no one responded to Zhang Chengfan's arrival.

Zhang Chengfan had no choice but to take people into the city to look for food in the state treasury, but it was a piece of dust, and in the end Zhang Chengfan only found a thousand tons of rice, and after a short stay, he continued on the road with the soldiers in a reluctant voice.

When Zhang Chengfan led the army out of Huazhou, the soldiers of the rear team came to tell him that the Flying Dragon Army that had gone to reinforce him was gone.

Zhang Chengfan heard the news, and his heart was almost dead, but for the morale of the whole army, he couldn't bear it, only knew it, and then silently marched like Tongguan.

The vanguard of the town guarding Tongguan has set off, and the follow-up reinforcements must be arranged quickly, but at this time, there is a strange atmosphere in the Shence army.

Because the Shence army has been in the army for a long time, the iron cavalry that followed Geshuhan across the Western Regions in the past has long since changed, and the army is full of officials and eunuchs, as well as rich and dignitaries.

The Shence Army was actually a refuge for the disciples of the wealthy families in the Chang'an area, and these gentlemen bribed the eunuchs to name the Shence Army, which was regarded as an escape from the burden of forced labor.

Moreover, since the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court's guard work has relied on the Shence Army, so its rewards are much stronger than ordinary soldiers, so the soldiers of the Shence Army usually bully others, but in fact they are just paper tigers, and their real combat effectiveness is extremely low.

When many people heard that they were really going to battle, they all hugged their heads and cried, and some even couldn't even hold their weapons.

With such a low combat effectiveness, not to mention blocking the menacing Huangchao army, even fighting the same number of ordinary people may not be able to win. Back then, the eunuch army under Li Bao beat several battalions of the Shence Army, and their combat power was mediocre.

In order to avoid going to the battlefield and dying, many of the Divine Army sergeants immediately played the common rules of their wealthy families and paid people to take them into battle.

For a time, the beggars in Chang'an City settled down into fragrant dumplings, and from time to time, the children of wealthy families who would see each other on weekdays came to invite them to befriend, took them to eat and drink spicy, and also brought them to Pingkangli Jinchangfang's Goolan courtyard to have a chic.

When they had eaten and drunk enough, these people would pretend to have drunk too much, tell them about them, and give them a large sum of money as a reward, as long as they went to Tongguan on their behalf.

At first, those beggars felt that they had made great luck, but then they found that such a good thing could not be agreed to early, after all, there were too many Shence troops who wanted to find a substitute, and how many beggars were there in the settlement? So as long as you hold on, are you afraid that they won't raise the price obediently?

In Chang'an City, there was a lively bargaining

Chapter 252: Soldiers Approaching the City
