readx; As everyone speculated, An Lushan beat his chest after receiving the news of his son's death, and cried loudly, he vowed to avenge his eldest son, and then ordered the three armies to be su, and did not wait for the court to have a statement, so he personally led 100,000 elite soldiers to kill Xiangtongguan, under the pretext of searching for the murderer of his son.

At the same time, 40,000 Jingzhou soldiers under the leadership of Li Mao have driven to Hanzhong, occupied Nanzheng, and pointed to Chang'an, and 100,000 Jiannan troops under the leadership of Gao Xianzhi also turned to Chencang, preparing to enter Guanzhong from there, several large armies came from all sides, and for a time the war over Chang'an was cloudy.

On the one hand, he divided the 200,000 Guanzhong army into three, and the 80,000 army went to Tongguan, commanded by Wang Sili, the commander of Tongguan, to defend the army of An Lushan, and sent 100,000 troops to Hanzhong, appointing Meng Yun, the general of Jinwuwei, as the chief commander, Luo Zhengyi, the general of Zuo Wuwei, as the deputy marshal, and finally the 20,000 troops commanded by Changsun Quanxu to guard Chang'an. ordered Guo Ziyi to be the commander and quickly drove to Chang'an.

Since Guo Ziyi served as the envoy of Shuofang, his main task was to recruit and train troops, and restore the Shuofang military system that had been hit many times as soon as possible, but due to the lack of money and food allocated by the imperial court, he had limited recruitment, and the recruitment of troops was less than 20,000 in nearly a year.

After receiving Li Yu's order, Guo Ziyi only left 5,000 troops to guard Jiuyuan and Lingzhou, and the remaining 30,000 elite soldiers all marched south, marching day and night, to meet the Liangzhou army, and two days later, Huining City was already in sight.

Huizhou is today's Jingyuan County, Gansu Province, located on the east bank of the Yellow River, where the mountains and rivers are around, the territory is vast, since ancient times it is the Central Plains to the Western Regions must pass through, is one of the important towns on the northern route of the Silk Road, known as the cardinal of Qinlong, is a strategic place for the Western Regions to advance eastward.

The river level in this area is gentle, which is conducive to crossing the river, most of the merchants who go to the Western Regions cross the river here, there are hundreds of ferries on the wharf on both sides, the boats come and go, and it is very lively.

But these days the river is deserted, the merchants are gone, the ferries are all occupied by an army, one day and one night, the river is full of troops, this army is the Liangzhou army transferred from Hexi, they have arrived for two days, and are waiting for the Shuofang army to come to meet.

Li Yu's paper transfer decree for Cheng Qianli, is simply a life-saving straw, in his most critical moment to save him, this year, Cheng Qianli has been facing the high pressure of the Anxi army, in the north of Ganzhou Juyanhai, Anxi three Hu soldiers about 60,000 people under the command of the general Cui Qianyou eyeing Ganzhou, and in Suzhou, 40,000 Anxi troops are waiting to launch an attack on Ganzhou and Liang at any time.

A few days ago, he got a report from the scouts, Suzhou Anxi Army increased a large number of troops, about 80,000 people, Cheng Qianli immediately guessed, it is very likely that Li Qing'an also heard the wind and came to Suzhou in person, there are 120,000 fierce things in the west, there are 60,000 tiger and wolf troops in the north, and the 180,000 Anxi army has formed a trend of encircling Hexi, which frightened Cheng Qianli and was terrified.

But at this moment, the Holy Lord's will to transfer troops arrived, Cheng Qianli was so relieved that he didn't even have time to tell the magistrate, so he set out overnight, and it was not until he crossed the Yellow River that his heart finally let go.

At this time, a scout rushed to report, "Governor, Shuo Fang's army has arrived ten miles away, and Guo Dashuai has also arrived." ”

Cheng Qianli hurriedly climbed the lookout, looked to the north, only to see the dust in the distance, sure enough, a large army was coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Prepare a horse for me, I will meet the handsome!" ”

In a moment, Cheng Qianli led more than 100 cavalry to gallop towards the north.

Guo Ziyi led the army after two days of marching, and finally arrived in Huizhou, the city in front of the city is Huining County, the state of Huizhou, Guo Ziyi is dressed in silver helmet and iron armor, majestic, old and strong, he looks at the distance grimly.

This time, his mission to enter Beijing has been clear, and he will face Gao Xianzhi. If he chooses, Guo Ziyi will not hesitate to choose to fight against An Lushan, no matter what, An Lushan and Gao Xianzhi's surnames are completely different, An Lushan is a local prince with opposing intentions, and he is to protect the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and it will not harm him, but Gao Xianzhi is different, against him, he is actually involved in the power struggle between the royal family, one is the current saint, the other is the first emperor, both of them are his monarchs, which makes him feel extremely embarrassed, and he is also facing a choice to stand in line, whether to finally go to the present, or to be loyal to the first emperor, so that he couldn't make up his mind all the way here, and he didn't even sleep all night last night.

It was only at this moment that he finally made up his mind to support the saint, after all, the saint trusted him, and the saint was determined to reform, which was the hope of the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor had decayed, and he should no longer have the idea of resuming.

Guo Ziyi made up his mind, and his spirit suddenly perked up, and at this time, a personal soldier beside him shouted: "Big marshal, it seems that Cheng Dudu is here in front." ”

Guo Ziyi looked at the curtain, and saw a group of cavalry galloping over, led by Cheng Qianli, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Stop advancing!" ”

The order was done, Shuo Fangjun immediately stopped moving forward, and after a while, Cheng Qianli arrived, and he smiled and said: "Dashuai, it's been hard all the way." ”

Cheng Qianli is the governor of Liangzhou, and Li Qingan is concurrently the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, it stands to reason that Cheng Qianli should be under the jurisdiction of Li Qingan, but in fact, Cheng Qianli is Guo Ziyi's subordinate, not that Guo Ziyi can manage Liangzhou, but Cheng Qianli concurrently serves as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, which is a very strange arrangement and a kind of helplessness.

Guo Ziyi also smiled slightly: "Governor Cheng has also worked hard. ”

"Where! There is a will of the saint, so I led the army to hurry here, and now two trillion are stationed in front, waiting for the commander to go and meet the army. ”

"Excellent! We will meet the troops immediately, and then immediately drive to Chang'an, I will be connected to the Holy Three-sided Urging Gold Medal on the way, and the Holy Lord ordered us to march 100,000 in a hurry, and it is estimated that the situation is very critical. ”

"But the brethren must be very tired from marching all the way, so it is better to rest for a while before leaving."

"No way!" Guo Ziyi did not give in and said: "I don't say that I am tired of this old bone, what are they tired of, they will immediately set off after the army." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Cheng Qianli turned his horse's head and walked side by side with Guo Ziyi, at this time, he said in a low voice: "Before leaving, I received a scout military information, and the Anxi Army increased its troops in Suzhou by 80,000 people, I guess Li Qing'an has arrived." ”

Guo Ziyi said lightly: "Have you reported to the saint?" ”

"Not yet, the subordinates naturally have to report to the marshal first, otherwise they will be suspected of overstepping."

Guo Ziyi glanced at him, this cunning guy will be clear of responsibility, he groaned, and then asked quietly: "I heard you just now, it seems that Li Qing'an has arrived, can't you confirm it?" ”

"The subordinates can't confirm that the scouts didn't see Li Qing'an, and they didn't get any clues to prove that Li Qing'an had arrived."

"Since you can't confirm it, don't speculate, maybe this is just a normal change of guard for the Anxi army, don't think too much, now it's time to resolutely carry out the Holy Lord's orders, not to distract from other things."

Cheng Qianli secretly gave a thumbs up and praised, sure enough, it was the old man who was cunning, so he diluted it in a few words, and he hurriedly responded: "Dashuai is right, our top priority now is to enter Beijing, not to consider other issues, besides, even if Li Qing'an comes, the saint is willing to return Hexi to him, so it doesn't matter." ”

Guo Ziyi frowned, how could this Cheng Qianli become darker and darker, he immediately shook his head and said: "That's your cranky thinking, the saint didn't say that, and he didn't mean it." ”

Cheng Qianli wanted to say something more, but Guo Ziyi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "General Cheng, I just said that the Holy Lord has already issued three gold medals to urge us to enter Beijing, 100,000 urgent, don't say anything else." ”

As soon as he urged his horse, he turned back and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone speed up and rest for an hour in Huining." ”

．．．．．．． On the night of the third day when Shuofang and Liangzhou's armies met in Huining, an army of about 50,000 men also left Shanzhou and marched quickly towards Chang'an.

Ge Shuhan has been keeping a low profile since Li Yu ascended the throne, almost forgotten, but this does not mean that Ge Shuhan is indifferent to the situation in the imperial court, in fact, he has been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the imperial court, and at the same time he is also secretly recruiting troops, Longyou is the rich land of the Tang Dynasty, with a large population and rich in food, which makes Ge Shuhan's recruitment a strong guarantee, despite this, Ge Shuhan does not dare to recruit troops on a large scale, first, he is afraid of being blamed by the imperial court, and secondly, his military supplies are insufficient, such as weapons and armor, etc., Nor can it meet the needs of more soldiers.

Therefore, in the past year, Ge Shuhan has only recruited 40,000 troops, together with his original 40,000 troops, he has 80,000 people under his command, this Chang'an crisis, Li Yu did not give him a holy decree, not that Li Yu forgot him, but he was not sure of his attitude, I don't know who he supports, similarly, Li Longji did not consider him, and I don't know who he will support at the last moment.

At night, Ge Shuhan's army arrived in Lanzhou, he was ready to cross the Yellow River from here, the sky was raining lightly, Ge Shuhan came to the Yellow River accompanied by more than a dozen generals, inspected the possibility of crossing the river, in the light rain, the Yellow River water was flowing black and heavy, although the water was gentle, but there was a hidden killing opportunity, and you could see a whirlpool on the river from time to time.

At this time, several personal soldiers brought an old boatman forward, "Lord Wang, this old boatman has been walking on the Yellow River for thirty years, and he knows whether he can cross the river." ”

The old boatman stepped forward and knelt down and saluted, "The little people see the king of Pingxi County." ”

Ge Shuhan is different from other Jiedu envoys who like to be called marshals or generals, he likes others to call him the prince, because he is the king of Pingxi County, and he almost took his life for this prince, how could he not use it.

Ge Shuhan glanced at the old man, and when he saw that he was still quite pleasing to the eye, he smiled and said, "Then tell me about it, maybe cross the Yellow River at night?" ”

The old boatman hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't do it, there is a saying in the Yellow River, called 'the ghost of the Yellow River in May', which means that you can't cross the Yellow River at night in early summer." ”

"Why can't you cross it, I think the river is quite gentle, and you can't take a big boat?"

"The prince doesn't know, it's one thing to look at it from the shore, but it's another thing to get to the center of the river, where the water is turbulent, the whirlpool is turbulent, and it is very easy to capsize, it is not impossible to take a big boat, but the risk is too great, you can't see the river clearly at night, and you will be swept into it if you are not careful."

Seeing that he was serious, Ge Shuhan also believed a little, so he sighed and said to the left and right: "Pass my order, the army will be stationed on the spot, and cross the river after dawn." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a personal soldier running from behind, and Lao Yuan hurriedly said: "Lord Wang! ”

"What's the matter?"

The soldier said a few words to him, Ge Shuhan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Where is the other?" ”

"I've been waiting in the prince's tent."

Ge Shuhan turned over his horse and said to everyone: "Go and camp immediately, rest early, and cross the river early tomorrow morning." ”

With that, he urged his horse and galloped towards where the army had stopped.

Goshuhan's army of 50,000 was already beginning to set up camp, tents appeared in the rain and fog, it was just a simple camp, no fences were erected, the soldiers were exhausted, and they fell asleep as soon as they fell into the tents.

Ge Shuhan's big tent has been set up first, located in the middle of the barracks, and there is a side tent next to it, in which live Ge Shuhan's three concubines, this is Ge Shuhan's characteristics, he can't do without women all the time, no matter where he goes, he has to bring his favorite concubines.

The big tent was brightly lit, and a figure could be faintly seen pacing back and forth, and Ge Shuhan walked into the big tent, and then turned back and ordered: "No one is allowed to enter the tent without my order." ”

As soon as he walked into the big tent, the man in the tent turned around and smiled: "I almost missed it with Brother Shu." ”

Under the light, this young man turned out to be Li Li, the adopted son of Qingwang Li Cong, but he has no relationship with Li Cong for a long time, he is now the confidant of the Emperor Li Heng, although he did not call Ge Shuhan the prince, but Ge Shuhan didn't care, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Little prince, please take a seat!" ”

The two sat down, a concubine served them hot tea, and Ge Shuhan waved his hand, "Stand down!" ”

When the concubine retreated, Ge Shuhan asked, "Is the little prince looking for me?" ”

Li Li took a sip of strong hot tea and said with a smile: "I crossed the Yellow River in the afternoon, and I was going to Shanzhou to find the marshal, but I heard that the marshal had passed halfway, so I hurriedly turned around and chased after me, but fortunately I caught up." ”

"What, has the Emperor changed his mind again?"

Li Li shook his head, took out a letter and handed it to Ge Shuhan and said, "This is a handwritten letter from the Emperor Taishang to the marshal, and everything he wants to say is in this letter." ”

Ge Shuhan opened the letter and read it for a moment, his brows furrowed, and said, "Didn't the Emperor let me enter Chang'an?" Why did you change it to deal with Gao Xianzhi again? ”

Li Li smiled and said: "Ge Shu Dashuai did not cross the Yellow River, you may not know yet, Guo Ziyi and Cheng Qianli have already led the army into the pass, they are facing Gao Xianzhi's army in Fengxiang, but Guo Ziyi's troops are not as good as Gao Xianzhi, and they are likely to be defeated, and Dashuai's 50,000 army rushed to it, which was exactly 100,000 against 100,000." ”
