—— "Immediately send orders to all departments, prepare for battle!" Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi were quite calm, and immediately announced the order, and after announcing the order to the sergeants waiting outside, they stepped forward one after the other to salute An Qingxu: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now that the Tang army has not arrived, Your Majesty's men and horses have attacked first, and the last general can only lead the army to resist desperately and wait for the arrival of the Tang army." ”

The role of the city wall and the city gate tower is mainly to prevent the enemy from attacking outside the city, and the attack and defense ability in the direction of the city is not strong, and no one knows whether it can resist the attack of An Lushan's men and horses.

After all, they are now "rebellious", and when An Lushan leads his men and horses to attack, no one can predict whether there will be a large-scale surrender. Yin Ziqi and Tian Qianzhen were afraid of an accident, and they were also in a hurry to return to the city gate tower to command the battle.

"General Yin, General Tian, why don't we open the city gate and go out of the city first!" An Qingxu, whose face was frightened, once again put forward his idea, "Let's go out of the city first and find a way to meet the Tang army......"

"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it can't be like this!" Yan Zhuang immediately stood up and objected, "If you open the city gate and flee now, not to mention the pursuit of His Majesty's men and horses, it is the order of Guangguang to escape, the army's spirit will be dispersed immediately, and the men and horses under the command of General Yin and General Tian will be defeated immediately, maybe the Tang army will rush over and take the opportunity to destroy us first." According to what the old minister saw, we will now guard the city gate tower and wait for the arrival of the Tang army. The Tang army is definitely not far from Luoyang City now, and it won't take long for them to arrive. General Yin and General Tian have already made arrangements, and His Majesty's men and horses will definitely not be able to capture Dexianmen soon. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not panic, those who have achieved great things must be calm in critical times, and they must seize all favorable opportunities, and a blow at a critical time is sometimes enough to succeed. ”

"That's all there is to it!" An Qingxu was not moved by Yan Zhuang's righteous words, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do but resign himself to fate. sat down and waved his hand to Yin Ziqi and Tian Qianzhen dejectedly, "Then the two generals will go and arrange it." ”

The shouting and killing were getting closer and closer, and soon the sound of arrows shooting, the screams of people, and the neighing of horses came, and An Qingxu on the tower of the city gate knew that Yin Ziqi and Tian Qianzhen had already commanded the men and horses to fight with the sergeants sent by An Lushan to kill them. He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, now that the enemy is present, the Tang army is about to arrive in Luoyang, but they are inside Dayan. But they started killing each other first.

"The tide is over!" This was An Qingxu's only thought at this time, he couldn't help but be sad, and said to Yan Zhuang on the side: "Yan Shilang, this time our Dayan is completely finished, I really can't imagine that my father and emperor will kill us all when the Tang army is about to attack the city." Alas, it's chilling......"

Yan Zhuang was completely speechless, he couldn't imagine that An Qingxu would say such things now. A few hours ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to assassinate his father. Now he even said that An Lushan was going to kill him.

But now is not the time to think about these things, Yan Zhuang can only comfort: "Your Highness, there is not much to do now, we can only hope that Tang Jun can save us." According to the old minister's thoughts. Although General Yin's method is good, it is no longer effective, and it is still unknown whether we can resist the attack of His Majesty's men and horses, how dare we expect so much? If only the Tang army had arrived later. We have no hope of life. ”

"Yan Shilang is saying that the only way out for us now is to completely surrender the Tang army and make no other plans?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince. According to the old minister's thoughts, this can only be the case!" Yan Zhuang looked helpless, "If we can resist the attack of His Majesty's men and horses, and wait until the arrival of the Tang Army, then we can also make a contribution to the counterinsurgency of the Tang Army." In that case, the Tang Emperor will not blame us for our sins, and will even give us the original treatment, or reuse it is not necessarily. ”

Gao Shang immediately echoed Yan Zhuang's words: "Yes, Your Highness, Yan Shilang is right, the Tang Army has captured so many places, Your Majesty now only has Luoyang left, and now Luoyang will not be guaranteed, Dayan has come to an end, Your Highness is now breaking with Your Majesty, it is actually a very wise choice." Now that you have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, you will definitely be rewarded by the Tang Emperor. The world is still Datang's, alas......"

Hearing the two most important cronies under him say this, An Qingxu was dumbfounded, he kind of understood what was going on.

Dare to love these two old ministers, they had already expected that Dayan would not be able to defeat Datang and would eventually be exterminated, so they had already made up their minds to break with An Lushan, and An Lushan's repeated violent beatings only made them more determined to this idea? If that's the case, then you're being used by them. Thinking of this, An Qingxu had the urge to scold his mother. But what if that's really the case? Are there any other options he can make now?

What An Qingxu didn't know was that Yan Zhuang had already expected that An Lushan would not have much time to come, so he was making other plans. The people sent by Yang Xi, after several temptations, finally moved him to rebel against Dayan and surrender to the Tang Dynasty when necessary, otherwise he would not have instigated An Qingxu to assassinate An Lushan at this time. Of course, he had a variety of plans, and everything he did was just to obtain more benefits for himself.

And Gao Shang also had people sent by Yang Xi to bewitch him, but Gao Shang was not as determined as Yan Zhuang. It's just that now that the situation has evolved like this, these two people, who have long been disheartened by An Lushan, quickly strengthened their determination. The Tang army has already attacked the city, and all unrealistic fantasies must be put away, and what we have to think about now is how to find a way to fight for the greatest interests for ourselves after returning to the Tang Dynasty.

The shouts of killing from the direction of the city became louder and louder, and An Qingxu no longer paid attention to the solemn and noble nagging, and walked to the window irritably and looked out. But seeing that there are dense torches everywhere, and you can't see the edge, there must be a lot of people and horses who come to attack Dexianmen, and there are many torches in the distance that are gathering in this direction. Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang also followed to the window and looked at the situation outside.

Dexian Gate because it is close to the Luoyang Imperial City, the city gate tower is very large, the city gate has several weights, and there is also the city of Zo, and now the people and horses of An Lushan are attacking the city of Cho. Although it is said that it is easy to capture the city gate from the inside out, it is not so easy to capture, as long as the resistance on the tower of the city gate is fierce, it will take a lot of time and pay a lot of casualties to capture the city gate.

And at this time, a sergeant came to report that there were long torches coming from afar outside the city gate. As soon as he heard this report, An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang immediately turned around and walked to the other side. In the eye, there are really long stars coming from far and near.

"Immediately send someone to contact the Tang Army, report the critical situation of our army to the Tang Army, and let them enter the city as soon as possible!" An Qingxu gave a new order very decisively. Because of the unexpected situation, An Qingxu's later decision was not given to Tang Jun. Fortunately, Tang Jun was not told of the new decision, otherwise Tang Jun would not have come so quickly.

"Your Highness, hurry up and let people open the city gate and welcome the Tang army into the city!" Yan Zhuang followed An Qingxu's words and suggested.

"Let people open the city gate and welcome the Tang army into the city!" An Qingxu also immediately adopted Yan Zhuang's proposal. (To be continued......)
