readx; The eunuch who was responsible for informing Li Xuan, the king of Xiliang, met Li Xuan and Guo Ziyi's large army on the way back in Xiaoguan County, Yuanzhou, which was located in the north of Yuanzhou, only more than 100 miles away from Qinggangling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What's more important is that Li Xuan didn't want to go back to the camp, his father's capriciousness and temper made him frightened, and the Shuofang army led by Guo Ziyi also temporarily obeyed his command, and his Longyou army had been taken away by his father.

Li Xuan only had a trace of luck, but this trace of luck was actually realized, he was talking to the eldest grandson Quanxu in the big tent, when a personal soldier came to report: "Your Highness, Wen Jinzhong, the eunuch next to Wu Niangniang, urgently asks to see." ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in!" ”

The eldest grandson Quanxu got up and said with a smile: "Since it is a family matter of His Royal Highness, then I will leave first." ”

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "General Eldest Sun, please!" ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Quanxu walked to the door of the tent, he saw a eunuch rushing into the camp tent in a hurry, he flashed and stepped aside, and the eunuch Wen Jinzhong almost rushed in, crying and saying urgently: "Your Highness, something big happened to the camp of Qinggangling!" ”

The eldest grandson's heart moved, and he couldn't help but slow down, pretending to bend down to straighten his leather boots, but he listened to the conversation in the camp word for word.

"What the hell is going on? Say it! ”

"I only know that something happened to the saint, I don't know what happened, Yang Guozhong blocked the news, this is the secret letter of the mother, just said that the saint is critically ill, let His Highness rush back."

The eldest grandson Quanxu was taken aback, and immediately got up and walked to his own camp tent in the distance, the camp tent of the eldest grandson Quanxu was heavily guarded, without the permission of the eldest grandson Quanxu, no one was allowed to enter, the camp tent consisted of a large tent and two small tents, the eldest grandson Quanxu was the deputy general of the army, his big tent was the office place, and the two small tents were his living and sleeping place, generally speaking, the sleeping tent of the senior generals was his own ** place, and ordinary people did not dare to enter and exit casually, only the most confidant soldiers could authorize entry, and the camp tent of the eldest grandson Quanxu was the same.

The eldest grandson Quanxu walked quickly to the back tent, picked up the tent curtain and walked in, the light in the big tent was dim, and there was a faint person who was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, although this person was wearing a military uniform, but his temperament was not like a soldier at all.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and smiled, "What news does General Changsun have?" ”

The light that penetrated through the crack in the curtain shone on his face, this person turned out to be the former prince Li Heng, it was not strange for Li Heng to appear in the barracks, the situation in Shuofang was confusing, and the murderous machine was secretly clothed, Li Longji took away almost all the troops in Guanzhong, to some extent it involved Li Yu's core interests, Li Yu was the eldest grandson of the prison country, and he could not leave Chang'an, but Li Heng was free, and he rushed to Shuofang to participate in the game, and he was duty-bound.

Li Yu found the eldest grandson Quanxu, the eldest grandson's family is the Guanlong family, the royal family, when Li Heng was the prince, he had a very good relationship with Li Heng, although Li Heng has withdrawn from the court, but the eldest grandson Quanxu is the loyal supporter of the emperor's eldest grandson Li Yu, and it is precisely because of this that Li Longji will order the eldest grandson Quanxu to assist Li Xuan, the king of Xiliang.

Li Heng rushed to Gyeongju the day before yesterday, and heard that the eldest grandson Quanxu had gone to Huizhou, so he transferred to Huizhou and caught up with the Tang army in Huizhou, and the eldest grandson Quanxu pretended to be his own soldier and hid in his own account.

The eldest grandson Quanxu bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, Wu Xianyi sent someone to urgently inform Li Xuan, saying that the Holy Lord is critically ill, and asked Li Xuan to rush back to Qinggangling immediately. ”

"What!" Li Heng was also taken aback, the smile on his face disappeared, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the news.

"Do you know the specific situation of the saint?"

"I don't know, I guess Li Xuan doesn't know, Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Li Heng lowered his head and pondered, in fact, he had roughly guessed what the problem was? It is very likely that there is a problem with the incense of the help flower that his father has taken for a long time, he has long heard the imperial doctor say, it is actually a kind of aphrodisiac with a strong surname, and long-term use is very harmful to the body, and the last time the father has fallen down because of this, he was lucky to be rescued, but he did not repent, but instead took it harder, and it was strange if nothing happened.

Now it is likely that the disease will break out again, and the second illness will have the worry of life, and the re-illness of his father is expected by Li Heng, but this is not important, what matters is what kind of measures he should take, which is his urgent need.

There is no doubt that Li Heng is most concerned about military power, which is also the real purpose of his coming to Shuofang, now there are nearly 200,000 troops in Qinggangling, respectively from Guanzhong, Hedong, Longyou and Shuofang, when the father has no problem, he can control these four route armies, and now that his father is critically ill, then these four route armies will be in their own positions, although Yang Guozhong can block the news, but he cannot command the army, these armies are under the direct command of his father, not a false decree can be replaced.

"Your Highness, you can control the army in Guanzhong, but the army of Shuofang, Longyou and Hedong may not be able to do it." Seeing that Li Heng was silent in thought, the eldest grandson Quanxu said in a low voice.

Li Heng raised his head and said, "You quickly go and invite the old general Guo Ziyi to come to me." ”

At this time, there was a report from the pro-soldiers outside the tent: "General Changsun, the prince has sent someone to spread the word, the army will set off immediately, please pack up your belongings as soon as possible." ”

"I see!"

The eldest grandson Quanxu walked out of the big tent quickly, Li Heng slowly sat down, buried his face in the palm of his hand, and his heart was in a mess, could it be that the moment he had been looking forward to for nearly twenty years had finally arrived?

Not long after, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, the curtain was lifted, Guo Ziyi walked in, at this time Guo Ziyi's heart was full of surprise, he didn't expect Li Heng to be in the army, he also realized that Li Heng's search for himself may not be so simple.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, Guo Ziyi's face did not show anything at all, he half-knelt down and saluted Li Heng and said, "Minister Guo Ziyi See His Royal Highness King Yong!" ”

Li Heng is very satisfied with Guo Ziyi's attitude, generally speaking, a general of Guo Ziyi's level only bows half-kneeling to the emperor or prince, and for a prince like him, it is enough to bow down, but Guo Ziyi still bows half-to himself, this is not that Guo Ziyi does not understand etiquette, on the contrary, Guo Ziyi is a nearly sixty-year-old veteran, he knows etiquette better than anyone else, this is that he still respects himself as a prince, this is a veteran who understands human feelings and sophistication.

Only this kneeling, Li Heng knew that he could control Guo Ziyi, he bowed back, and said with a friendly smile: "Old general, the last time we met was in Tianbao for seven years!" ”

"Yes! Your Highness is good to remember the surname. ”

"At that time, I was still the prince, but now I am a white body, and the old general has been promoted to the envoy of the Shuofang Festival, congratulations to the old general."

The reason why Guo Ziyi in history can start and finish well is largely because Guo Ziyi is very good at judging the situation and being able to hand over military power at a critical time.

Since An Sishun killed himself, Guo Ziyi has been thinking about where he should go, he is also very aware of the delicate situation in the court, the various princes are divided into places, although he has no suspense should be loyal to Li Longji, but Li Longji's illness He also knows that it will not last long, so who should he be loyal to after Li Longji? Guo Ziyi finally made a decision to be loyal to the prince, who was the most orthodox monarch of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, when he saw Li Heng, he already knew that Li Heng must have come to win him over, of course, this is what he was looking forward to.

Li Heng and Guo Ziyi already knew that they didn't need to explain anything else, and all the co-optation seemed redundant at this time.

"General Guo, the saint is critically ill, I hope you can take down all the troops except the Guanzhong Army for me, the time is urgent, can General Guo tell me how sure it is?"

Guo Ziyi pondered and said: "There is no problem with the Shuofang army, I also used to be a general in Longyou, and I am quite popular in the Longyou army, I can persuade them to be loyal to the prince, in addition, only the Hedong Army remains, but I think that since the other three armies are under our control, the Hedong Army will be difficult to support alone, and the only thing we need to do is to preemptively grasp the Hedong Army before His Royal Highness King Rong returns." ”

Li Heng nodded and said, "General Guo can take the first step, and I will let the eldest grandson Quanxu drag Li Xuan." ”

Guo Ziyi immediately obeyed the order, Li Heng walked to the tent door with his hands behind his back, staring at the sky in the north, he suddenly sneered and said, "Fourth brother, I'm afraid you never dreamed that I would be here!" ”

．．．．．．．． Indeed, everyone on all sides of Shuofang could not have imagined that Li Heng would hide in the military camp of the eldest grandson Quanxu, but in addition, what made everyone unexpected, there was also Liangzhou City, a cavalry team of 3,000 people rushed to Liangzhou from Anxi after Li Longji was in a coma for three days, they entered Liangzhou City, blocked all news from the outside world, but said to the people in Liangzhou City that it was temporarily stationed in Liangzhou on behalf of the Hexi Army, and once the imperial court formed another army, the Anxi Army would immediately evacuate.

For the arrival of the Anxi army, the officials of Liangzhou are welcome, not only because of the emptiness of Liangzhou's defense makes them uneasy, once the Hui people really go south from Juyanhai, they can easily sweep Hexi, plundering all the wealthy people, the arrival of the Anxi army makes them seem to have eaten a reassuring pill, and the Anxi army is strict in discipline and never disturbs the locality, which makes the local officials have a very good impression of the Anxi army, and they almost have a tacit understanding and deliberately conceal the news for the Anxi army.

And the leader of this team, it was Li Qing'an, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, Li Qing'an set off from Shazhou at the same time as Li Longji left Gyeongju, he traveled a long way, all the way, and finally arrived in Liangzhou City in the afternoon.

As soon as he entered Liangzhou City, Li Qing'an received urgent information from the Han and Tang Societies in Hedong, An Lushan had marched into Hedong, although this news was expected by Li Qing'an, but it really happened, but Li Qing'an couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, this can't be compared with the Anshi Rebellion in history, An Lushan did not openly rebel, let alone the determination to directly enter Guanzhong, he just wanted Hedong, so he came up with an excuse to intercept An Sishun, in history, An Lushan finally got the post of Hedong Jiedu envoy, so he had the ability to rebel.

And now, history seems to be using a roundabout way, continuing the original trajectory, once An Lushan gets Hedong, the economic resources and military strength in his hands will rise sharply, so that he will inevitably rebel in the end.

On the city wall of Liangzhou, the night breeze was blowing, and Li Qingan stood at the battlement and looked at the east for a long time.

"It seems that An Lushan's march to Hedong has made the general feel deeply!" Yan Zhuang slowly walked behind Li Qingan and said with a smile.

"Yes! An Lushan is indeed very bold. ”

Li Qing'an sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "I have a hunch that when the Holy Lord hears this news, he will inevitably feel shocked, I wonder if his body can withstand it?" ”

"I think that although the saint will be angry, one thing is certain, he will immediately send troops to attack Hedong, the important surname of Hedong is extraordinary, it is the place where the Tang Dynasty started, and there is no room for loss."

"Although he thinks so, he even wants to break An Lushan's corpse into ten thousand pieces, but I'm sure that he will eventually make up An Lushan as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu."

Li Qing'an glanced back at Yan Zhuang, and when he saw his expression, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his opinion, so he smiled and continued: "In fact, there are only 200,000 horses in the hands of the saint, plus the armies of Jianghuai, Xiangyang and Jiannan, at most there are only 400,000, and it is impossible for him to concentrate all of these 400,000 horses to deal with An Lushan, at most he can only use 300,000, and the army in An Lushan's hands also has more than 200,000, and the strength is indifferent to him, but the combat effectiveness exceeds the imperial army, I think the saint should have a number in his heart, Once he tears his face and fights, it is still a big question whether his Datang can be saved. ”

"Although the general is reasonable, but An Lushan occupies the east of the river, and the imperial court will never give up, maybe it will not tear its face, but the struggle will continue, but it is good news for the general, and the attention of the imperial court will turn to An Lushan in the future, and it will no longer be a general."

Yan Zhuang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When we came, there were still many generals who didn't understand why the general didn't take the opportunity to occupy Hexi, and only stationed Shazhou. ”

Yan Zhuang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Li Qingan smiled: "Actually, I just want to have a little more time to consolidate my strength, so let the imperial court fight with An Lushan, and we will bury our heads in things, and when they lose both, we will come back to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman." ”

While the two were talking, several cavalrymen suddenly rushed from a distance, scouts on the periphery of the Anxi army, and one of them was speeding towards the city gate.

"The city is a general?" One of the scout officers shouted.

"Exactly, what's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness King Yong sent someone to deliver an urgent letter to the general."

"Take him up to town."

After a while, several personal soldiers walked up to Li Qing'an with a man, and the man bowed and saluted: "In Xia Wang Yun, he is the guard of His Royal Highness King Yong, and on the order of His Royal Highness, he went to Anxi to send an urgent letter to the general, but I didn't expect the general to be in Liangzhou." ”

The guard handed a sealed letter to Li Qing'an, who took it and asked, "Where is His Royal Highness King Yong now?" ”

"I was in Xiaoguan County when I wrote the letter, but now I should have entered the Qinggangling camp."

Li Qing'an opened the letter, lit the torch and read it, his face suddenly became extremely solemn, Yan Zhuang rarely saw Li Qing'an have such a serious expression, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

"The letter said that the saint was critically ill, and it is estimated that he can no longer take care of state affairs."

Li Qingan let out a long sigh, "Datang is about to enter an eventful autumn!" ”
