【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.

Wuzhang Plain, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of Weishui, Zhuge Liang's northern expedition to Cao Wei finally died of illness, only 240 miles away from Chang'an.

When the moon was in the sky, a team of knights of the Tiance Army, under the bright moonlight, went out of the ancient road of the sloping valley, passed through Wuzhang Plain, turned to the east, and galloped desperately towards Chang'an along the south bank of Weishui.

This team of knights was about 800 people, each horse had taken off the bell, the horse's hooves were wrapped in several layers of thick cloth, and they were stuffy on the ground, and Li Sheng, the first favorite general under Xiao Quai's command, rode his horse to the front of this cavalry team, he looked up at the sky, turned his head to his side and asked, "How far is the camp in Zhongnan Town?" ”

Beside him, a secret guard of the Tiance Mansion looked at the surrounding terrain and said in a deep voice, "There are still about one hundred and thirty miles. ”

Li Sheng said again: "How far is it from the camp in Juxian (Huxian)?" ”

"One hundred and eighty miles."

Since Li Sheng and Ma Sui received a secret letter from Xiao Quai's illness five days ago, Li Sheng has taken 800 cavalry to march day and night, desperately rushing every night; Ma Sui led the main army of the southern expedition to the rear slowly.

Speaking of which, although Li Longji has decided to take action against Tiance Mansion at this moment, he also knows the strength of the Tiance Army, and he still wants to take advantage of the Tiance Army to fight with the Youzhou Army in Hedong Road, and let Shuo Fang and other troops sneak attack the back of Tiance Mansion; On the other hand, it will also take time for the Tiance army to gather troops to intercept it.

Therefore, the imperial court was not in a hurry to turn against the Tiance Army, and it has been the past two days. The Celestial Ce Army requisitioned back to this expenditure. It is also only quietly monitored from a distance. It was not found that there were 800 cavalry missing, because many of the Tiance infantry were also on horseback.

With the help of the huge business network of the Four Seas Trading Company, as well as the secret support of various powerful families, these 800 cavalry marched day and night, and during the day they hid in the secret stronghold arranged in advance by the Tiance secret guard, and forcibly marched for two or three hundred miles at night, and occasionally encountered pedestrians and tied them up, and took them to the camp where they rested and locked up.

And so it turned out. Li Longji and Yang Guozhong sent information that the Tiance army was still far away in Hanzhong, and in fact the 800 cavalry had already reached the Weihe Plain, which was only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an City.

Li Sheng turned around and beckoned to several of his own guards: "Pass the order, work harder, and strive to rush to the camp in Juxian County tonight to rest." ”

The small voice came to the end of the team in turn, and Li Sheng looked back, although each Tiance knight was full of exhaustion at the moment, his eyes were all shining, and he looked extremely excited and excited.

Li Sheng's heart was also excited, and the excitement was indescribable. He remembered more than two years ago, on the way back to Chang'an from the river. Xiao Qubing left him alone, and his eyes were shining and said, "Liangqi, are you willing to help me and save the sky together?" ”

"Our legend has begun." Li Sheng muttered: "Tomorrow night, we will create a new history, this is our stage." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ King Lanling is far-sighted and thoughtful, so Yang Guozhong is a stupid pig compared to King Lanling. The situation is like this, everything has been calculated by King Lanling, and it seems that my Shuo Fangjun can only do what King Lanling said.

However, King Lanling, do you dare to swear a poisonous oath, you really don't have a covetous heart for Datang, and you really won't do anything reckless? If the king of Lanling wants to usurp the Tang Dynasty, I, Guo Ziyi, and my Shuo Fang army, are desperately trying to make the whole world erosive, and the Tang Dynasty will be torn apart from then on, the society will be overturned, and the people will suffer a catastrophe, and I will fight to the death with your Tiance army! ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already made his words very clear, the Youzhou rebels who went south to attack Chang'an had been completely annihilated, and An Lushan had also been captured alive; Your Shuofang Army, Hexi Army, and Longyou Army want to attack us from behind, and we have already been prepared;

My Tiance army has thunderbolts, thunderbolt arrows, fierce fire oil, and the 20,000 army will come back immediately, if you really want to fight, the two Shuofang Army, Hexi Army, and Longyou Army together are not our opponents, and when the time comes, the world will be in chaos, the people will suffer, and the vitality of the Tang Dynasty will be greatly injured.

In addition, even if you want to fight, you can't fight, the emperor has begun to suspect you, we still have follow-up means on our side, and the result of insisting on fighting is to send away the Shuofang Army, Hexi Army, and Longyou Army, and we can still enter Chang'an.

Therefore, there is no future in fighting, the Shuofang army and other border troops have to be sent away, and millions of people have to be buried together, and it will be difficult for Datang to settle down within a few years;

It's good for you not to fight us, it's good for us, it's better for Datang, as long as a few hundred or thousands of people die at most, Datang will soon be stable, and it will become stronger and stronger.

It's just a change of emperor, and after His Majesty abdicates now, he will also get good preferential treatment, which is an act to save the society, so why not do it?

But even so, in the heart of Guo Ziyi, the first hero of Zhongxing with a high historical evaluation, what he never forgot was the country with one family and one surname, and even dragged himself, Shuo Fangjun, and the entire people of the Tang Dynasty into hell in order to maintain the rule of this family and one surname.

This is also the reason why Xiao Qubing is reluctant to be the emperor himself, there are too many people with such concepts as Guo Ziyi, and it is not impossible to change the dynasty himself, but it is too troublesome.

Fortunately, I don't have this mind, fortunately, I have such an apprentice as Li Qi, who is pure and sexual, and who admires himself incomparably and never doubts.

With Li Qi to help him, to realize his ideals with him, and to build the ideal country in his mind according to his own wishes, as long as he has control over the country, what does it make if he is an emperor or not.

Xiao Quzhi smiled with relief, thinking of the hard work he had spent on Li Qi in the past few years, and thinking that Li Qi really did not disappoint him.

He took out a carved feather arrow from Hu Lu, looked at Guo Ziyi's eyes and said: "I Xiao Qu is sick and swears a heavy oath, I will always end up in the Tang Dynasty, finally in the community, benefit the country, and do not seek wealth and nobility."

I am willing to protect the stability of the Tang Dynasty, the peace of the world, and the well-being of the people forever, and I will never rebel against the Tang Dynasty for the rest of my life. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands bent. The eagle arrow was broken into two pieces. Xiao Quzhi threw two severed arrows on the ground. said: "Now Guo Shuai is willing to believe me." ”

Shuo Fangjun also has generals to the Tang Dynasty martial arts training, Guo Ziyi is actually no stranger to the Tiance Mansion's set of government mottos and oaths, and seeing Xiao Quai's sincere face, his eyes are clear, and he is naturally full of joy.

Guo Ziyi also took out a carved arrow and snapped it, and said solemnly: "The king of Lanling is so brave and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Ziyi admires it so much, and Ziyi also swears. In this operation of the Tiance Army, our Shuo Fang Army will definitely fully cooperate and will never launch an attack on the Tiance Army. ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded happily, paused, and Guo Ziyi said, "What does King Lanling want us to do?" ”

"Guo Shuai only needs to pretend that he doesn't know anything about me, continue to march to the east of the river, and order the scout sentry to bypass my Tiance army far away. If they are discovered by the envoy of the prison army, they can be imprisoned. ”

Xiao Quzhi stood up with a smile, turned around and was about to walk out of the tent. Guo Ziyi said: "Where else is King Lanling going?" ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled bitterly: "No way, I'm just working hard." I have to rush to the camp of the Longyou Army of the Hexi Army to find An Sishun and Ge Shuhan, I haven't slept peacefully for ten days. ”

Sending Xiao away from illness, Guo Ziyi laughed happily, feeling indescribably relaxed, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "King Lanling has been tired for so many days, so he can sleep peacefully." ”

And under the same night, in Chang'an City, north of Daming Palace, hundreds of Flying Dragon Forbidden Army were stationed on the city wall of Jiacheng, and the night was getting darker, and more than a dozen officers at all levels secretly gathered in an arrow tower.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? General Bai and General Yang were locked up without fault, and I heard that if it weren't for General Gao's intercession, they would have almost been pushed out and beheaded!

I heard that even General Gao was reprimanded by His Majesty, who can tell what the hell is going on? A Flying Dragon Forbidden Army named Mao Si asked loudly.

"What else is going on, it's not because Yang Guozhong, a big traitor, was all bewitched by him."

"Who said no, Yang Guozhong, a big traitor, bullied and pressurized, brought disaster to the country and the people, it was not enough to send away 200,000 troops in Nanzhao, and now he has buried 50,000 Hedong troops!

Now that Hedong has been breached, so many people have been killed, families are broken, and people are displaced, who in Chang'an City does not scold him!

What is hateful is that Yang Guozhong and Du Qianyun, two big straw bales and traitors who deserve a thousand knives, not only have not been punished at all, but they have been more and more reused, and they have been promoted to become rich.

Du Qianyun concurrently served as the general of the Right Tianwu, commanding 50,000 troops to garrison the overlord, Yang Guozhong's eldest son and brother-in-law commanded our Feilong Forbidden Army, Yang Guozhong's other henchman Li Fude commanded the Right Yulin Army, and Yang Guozhong's second son commanded Jin Wuwei.

Hmph, it's just infuriating, just big straw bales like Yang Xuan and Pei Yu, what kind of thing is to be our commander! The captain of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Military Academy named Zhao Yunfei said indignantly.

"Your Majesty has now been completely bewitched by Yang Guozhong, a big traitor, and even General Gao can't speak in front of Your Majesty now!"

"That is, that is, sooner or later, these troops will be sent away by Yang Guozhong and his sons, and the Tang Dynasty will be defeated by Yang Guozhong's family sooner or later!"

…… Seeing that everyone was getting more and more angry, the brigade commander of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army named Chen Zhi suddenly came up with this sentence: "You don't know yet, do you? All this is because Yang Guozhong coveted the merits of the Tiance Mansion and the wealth of the Four Seas Trading Company, and bewitched His Majesty to attack the Tiance Mansion.

You don't know, now Yang Guozhong has bewitched His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to order to accept the surrender of the Youzhou rebels, and together with the Shuofang Army, the Hexi Army, and the Longyou Army, they flanked the Tiance Army that was fighting bloodily in Hedong Road and Youzhou Rebels. The secret decree has been sent! ”

Chen Zhi's words were like a thunderclap in the crowd, and the people who were just complaining and venting turned into anger at once. The Flying Dragon Forbidden Military Captain named Zheng Qing immediately widened his eyes and said angrily, "What you said is true? ”

Zheng Qing was one of the ten Flying Dragon Forbidden Army who escorted the envoy Feng Shenwei to Fanyang to announce the decree, and the ten people fought their way out of the siege, and in the end only he and Jiang Liang ran out.

Moreover, Jiang Liang was also injured too badly, leaving a lifelong disability, and now he can only lie in bed, he himself has been lying in bed for more than 20 days, and his body is still a little weak.

Thinking of the eight brothers who were killed and sacrificed heroically in Youzhou, this is why Zheng Qing doesn't hate the rebels in Youzhou! But now His Majesty has accepted the surrender of the Youzhou rebels, and has turned around to fight the Tiance army with the Youzhou rebels.

There is nothing more than this! Zheng Qing could barely believe his ears.

"Why isn't it true, didn't you listen to the brother of the Longwu Forbidden Army? This morning. Hundreds of dragon martial forbidden troops were sent out at once. There are also six lieutenant envoys. Holding the edict to the Shuofang Army, the Hexi Army, and the Longyou Army as the supervising army, it was to monitor Guo Ziyi, An Sishun and Ge Shuhan, if the three of them did not devote themselves to fighting with the Tiance Army, they could be killed immediately. ”

Everyone blew up again, saying everything, and some scolded the emperor for being confused. There is a scolding of Yang Guozhong for losing his conscience and should be cut with a thousand knives, but Zheng Qing just hates it so much that the root of his teeth itches.

Chen Zhi said coldly: "Is it useful for you to scold here?" Should Yang Guozhong bring disaster to the country and the people or to bring disaster to the country and the people, if Yang Guozhong really got his way, he would kill the king of Jianning, who led the Tiance army to fight against the Youzhou rebels in Hedong.

The Youzhou rebels will definitely rebel again, and the Hui will also raise troops again, and then the war will reach Gyeonggi Province and Chang'an, this Datang, this Datang doesn't know what it will become! I don't know how many sergeants and civilians will die? I don't know how many years it will take to quell the war......"

Everyone was stunned. With Yang Guozhong, a big traitor, and a big straw bag in power, what Chen Zhi said may not be impossible. All the emotions were filled with indignation.

Zheng Qing suddenly said loudly: "We must not let Yang Guozhong and others continue to corrupt the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Zhao Yunfei said: "What should I do?" ”

Mao Si blurted out: "Kill Yang Guozhong, kill Yang Xuan and Pei Yu!" ”

In the anger, everyone didn't think too much, and immediately several people echoed in unison: "Kill Yang Guozhong, kill Yang Xuan and Pei Yu!" ”

Chen Zhi said coldly: "Killing Yang Guozhong, we are rebellious, not only will we not be able to live, but our family will also be affected, have you ever thought about it!" ”

"We are here to punish this **** for the Tang Dynasty, even if it is worth sacrificing ourselves and our families!"

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Chen Zhi said mysteriously: "I have a way, we don't have to die." You don't know, the king of Lanling has come back to life......"

In a blink of an eye, the next day, on the fifteenth day of September in the thirteenth year of Tianbao, it was exactly a month before the Youzhou rebels in An Lushan marched south.

Chang'an City is still in chaos, Yang Guozhong's second son Yang Hao is still with Jin Wuwei's soldiers, together with the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, Chang'an County, and Wannian County, and the refugees in the east of the Hehe River in the city are caught in the net;

Continue to search for Tiance secret spies in the whole city and arrest those who dare to speak ill of Yang Guozhong, there are so many official eunuchs in Chang'an City, and various forces are intertwined, how can Tiance secret spies be so easy to catch, and at the same time, no one dares to openly say bad things about Yang Guozhong.

These soldiers and servants of Jin Wuwei also knew that it was difficult to catch them, so many people simply took advantage of these opportunities to extort money, make a windfall, and were very busy.

For a while, the whole Chang'an was full of chickens and dogs, and it was a mess, and many children and students of the family couldn't help but secretly shake their heads when they saw it, and scolded Yang Guozhong for being crazy.

On the other hand, Yang Guozhong is very idle, with his wisdom and mind, how the situation will develop, in fact, he doesn't know, but naturally since he took power, he knows that he will definitely not end well, and at this time he also has an attitude of being happy in time.

Taking advantage of the fact that he is now in power, he is not good to be majestic and proud, so he is very happy now, until noon, an emergency military situation was like a lightning, and he woke him up at once, and he was thrown out of the clouds with pride, with this military information, together with Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin, Cui Guangyuan, and Pei Mian, he ran to the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace.

"What, the Tiance army has completely annihilated the Youzhou army in the south and captured An Lushan alive, and now the rapid march has reached Zheng County?"

Li Longji yelled in disbelief: "Why is An Lushan's mongrel Hu so useless, what about Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army, An Sishun Ge Shuhan's Hexi Army, and Longyou's Army?" What about the local garrisons of Fengyi County and Huayin County? ”

Yang Guozhong's voice trembled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister said yesterday that the Shuofang Army, the Hexi Army, the Longyou Army and the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army are all devoted to the Tiance Mansion and have been bought by the Tiance Mansion."

Gao Weng also assured His Majesty that the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and the Shuofang Army were absolutely fine, so look at it now! ”

Yang Guozhong also had no idea at this time, but he didn't forget to step on Gao Lishi's kick and put the responsibility on Gao Lishi, so frightened that Gao Lishi hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, fortunately, Li Longji still trusted him, and scolded and complained a few words, but Gao Lishi, who was well-behaved and cautious by nature, was too frightened to speak anymore.

Deputy Prime Minister Wei Jiansu and others were full of doubts, this military newspaper was too irregular, there was no secret box, no fire paint, just such a piece of cloth, the handwriting was still so sloppy, and the person who reported the news was still so panicked, it was really strange.

Wei Jiansu was born in a high-ranking family like the fourth surname of Guanzhong, and he sat all the way up from a small official, and he didn't know how many times stronger this quiet qi was than Yang Guozhong, a casino gangster, so he proposed to Li Longji to interrogate the person who reported the news.

"I'll ask you, you have to answer truthfully, and if you dare to deceive, you will not be forgiven."
