readx; It was already dark, and the torches were lit on the pass of Shihui Pass, and thousands of torches took care of Shihui as if it were day, in front of the narrow mountain road under the pass, Guo Ziyi only brought two of his subordinates, and was waiting for Dong Qin to appear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the torches on the pass suddenly increased, and I saw a group of people appear on the top of the gate, "Is it General Guo Lao below?" ”

"It's the old man, but it's General Dong?"

"I'm Dong Qin, is there anything wrong with General Guo?"

"Come and talk to General Dong, can you let me in?"

"If the old general has anything, just say it here!"

Guo Ziyi laughed, "I only came with three people in total, is General Dong still afraid that I will earn you?" ”

Dong Qin's face was full of shame, and he waved his hand and said, "Switch!" ”

The huge iron gate rumbled up, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out from it, holding long knives and crossbows, surrounding Guo Ziyi and his two retinues, at this time, Dong Qin rode out, and he arched his hand on the horse and said: "Old General Guo, Jiuyuan has been separated for ten years, and today I am in great trouble, you can still come to see me, it is really infinitely embarrassing." ”

Guo Ziyi smiled slightly: "Everything is in your own control, why is it difficult for you?" ”

Dong Qin's face changed, he suddenly raised his head and smiled: "It seems that my eyes are covered, come!" The old general Guo asked Guanzhong to talk about it, and I put water and wine to suppress the old general's shock. ”

Dong Qin ordered the soldiers to dodge, Guo Ziyi urged the horse, drove into the Guannei, the two walked into the Guannei Political Participation Building, sat down in the guest hall, and several personal soldiers brought up more than a dozen dishes with their hands and feet, and heated two pots of wine.

Dong Qin picked up the wine jug and filled it for Guo Ziyi, and sighed: "Old General Guo has come to persuade me to surrender?" ”

Guo Ziyi picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I'm not trying to persuade you to surrender, I'm here to help you and show you a clear way." ”

"Minglu?"

Dong Qin sneered, drank all the wine in the cup, and said in a sullen voice: "I really can't see it, where is my bright road?" ”

"Then where does General Dong want to go? Want to go to Chengdu? ”

"General Guo, don't be joking, how is it possible!"

"I'm not kidding."

Guo Ziyi stared into Dong Qin's eyes and said sincerely: "What I said is true, if you want to go, I can be the master and let you go, and I will take responsibility for Li Qingan's side!" ”

"Y-Are you serious?"

"Yes! I, Guo Ziyi, have been in the army for more than 40 years, and I have never told a lie. ”

Dong Qin stood up, slowly walked to the gate, staring at the dark night sky, the mountains are majestic and continuous, blocking his dream of going south, at this time his eyes showed a confused and melancholy color, he has always felt that going to Chengdu is a distant and unattainable dream, but when Guo Ziyi told him very seriously that he could go to Nantang to serve allegiance, he felt that everything was unreal.

Far South, could it be where he belongs? His heart was in turmoil, why did he rush to be loyal to Li Heng, was Li Heng really the lord he could be loyal to?

Dong Qin let out a long sigh, in fact, he and Li Heng didn't have any old feelings, and it was too much of a risk to go all the way to find him.

"What about my army if I go?" Dong Qin turned around and asked in a low voice.

"You can take five hundred people away, only five hundred at most, so you have to enter the customs to enter Hanzhong, you have too many troops, Wang Sili will not allow you to enter Tongguan, and I can't do anything."

Dong Qin smiled bitterly, he thought that Guo Ziyi would let his 20,000 troops go, it turned out that he was just referring to himself, 20,000 troops were his only capital, if there was no capital, could Li Heng ignore him? Impossible, even Dong Qin himself knows that Li Hengtian's surname is Liangbo.

He slowly walked back and sat down, drank three glasses of wine in one go, he slammed the wine glass on the table, and said hatefully: "In fact, An Lushan is the one who wants to kill me the most, if my army retreats to Hebei, An Lushan will immediately send a large army to annihilate me, he hates me to the bone." ”

"Then the general will listen to me, or take refuge in Li Qing'an, or be loyal to the imperial court like me, don't hesitate anymore, it's not realistic for you to go to Chengdu, General Dong, you have to make a decision!"

Dong Qin shook his head and said: "But I don't want to be loyal to Li Qing'an, I also participated in the polo tournament in Chang'an that year, and I swore at that time that I would never join the Anxi Army, and I would rather die than surrender to them." ”

"Then be loyal to the government hall like me and keep your reading power."

Dong Qin still shook his head, "I don't have the qualifications of Old General Guo, he can tolerate the existence of Old General Guo, but he will never tolerate my existence." ”

Saying this, Dong Qin got up and knelt down on one knee to Guo Ziyi: "If the old general doesn't dislike it, I am willing to join the Shuofang Army and become a subordinate of the old general." ”

This is Guo Ziyi's self-confidence, he knows that Dong Qin actually has no way out, he is unwilling to surrender Li Qing'an, An Lushan will not spare him, it is unrealistic to go to Chengdu, then in the end he will either fight to the death with himself, or surrender himself, he has no third way to go.

Don't look at Shihui Guan Xiongjun is difficult to attack, but once he goes around his rear, surrounds him front and back, and cuts him off from food and drinking water, he may not be able to hold on for even ten days, Guo Ziyi believes that Dong Qin also understands this, so he will come to negotiate with Dong Qin single-handedly, and exchange sincerity for his surrender.

Guo Ziyi's move was right.

At dawn the next day, Dong Qin led 20,000 troops down Shihui Pass, laid down his arms, and formally surrendered to Guo Ziyi.

At the same time, Lei Wanchun also sent a pigeon letter to report the situation to Li Qing'an, Dong Qin had surrendered to Guo Ziyi, and the carrier pigeon flew over the Taihang Mountain, flew over the Yellow River, and flew to Heyin County, where Li Qing'an's army was stationed.

Dong Qin surrendered to Guo Ziyi, Guo Ziyi's 100,000 army immediately stationed troops in the party, and the army pressed Hebei, and Li Qing'an also led 100,000 troops to garrison Zhengzhou, leading troops without sending, Fan Yang Army General Cai Xide commanded the army of 80,000 troops to garrison Weizhou, and the Anxi army across the river, and Li Guangbi led an army of 20,000 troops into Bianzhou, like a sharp dagger, against the lower abdomen of Xu Shuyi's army, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

In this way, the armies of the Quartet are in a state of confrontation, and no one dares to easily break this confrontational balance.

．．．．．．． Chengdu Nanming Palace, Li Heng accompanied by several eunuchs to inspect this palace, this is the third time he has come to carefully inspect this palace, this palace is small and dark so that he is very dissatisfied, he always feels that this palace is full of the smell of his father, almost every corner, depressed so that he can't breathe. Accompanying him to visit the palace was the eunuch Yu Chaoen, Yu Chaoen escaped from the secret passage of Li Longji's bedroom at the last moment, and did not die, after Li Heng ascended the throne, he was immediately crowned the Duke of Yongqiu County, but his inner attendant order was transferred to Li Fuguo, which made Yu Chaoen very depressed, the Duke of Yongqiu County is a good title, but the inner chamberlain order is more powerful, and he is very frustrated by the name.

Yu Chaoen followed behind Li Heng, carefully figuring out his thoughts, he had gradually understood Li Heng's troubles, Li Heng was unwilling to live in Nanming Palace anymore, there was Li Longji's shadow everywhere, or rather, he didn't want to stay in Chengdu anymore.

"Your Majesty, Nanming Palace was originally just a palace, and its bearing was a little smaller, and it can't be compared with Chang'an, if Your Majesty really doesn't like it here, you can consider moving the capital."

Li Heng glanced back at him, in fact, this is a problem he has been thinking about, and his brother Li Lan also persuaded him to move the capital to Xiangyang, Chengdu is in a corner, the road is inconvenient, and he can't grasp the overall situation.

Although it is good to move the capital to Xiangyang, what about Li Mao! He hasn't been solved yet, how can he move the capital? Thinking of Li Mao, Li Heng couldn't help but think of the failure of Li Lan's westward expedition, Li Lan's 100,000 troops attacked Xiangyang from the waterway, but Ge Shuhan sent 5,000 cavalry to penetrate into western Zhejiang, all the way to attack the state and seize the county, and fought until Hangzhou.

That's it, but Li Ling was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a step forward, turned around and returned to Yangzhou, this defeat made Li Heng extremely disappointed, and at the same time made him discover the real enemy, the real enemy is not Li Mao, but Ge Shuhan, who is hiding behind Li Mao.

Originally, Li Longji placed Ge Shuhan in Lianghu to let him watch Li Mao, but he didn't expect that Ge Shuhan would take refuge in Li Mao in the end.

Although Li Heng knew that as long as he ascended the throne, Ge Shuhan would definitely betray him, and he had already betrayed him once, but Li Heng was still extremely uncomfortable in his heart, Ge Shuhan had 80,000 troops in his hands, and tens of thousands of elites of the Longyou Army, and now Li Mao had 200,000 troops in his hands, and he was like a reef in the Yangtze River, making it difficult for him and Li Lan to join forces.

Li Heng snorted sullenly and said: "I don't want to move the capital, but the army under my command is not angry, so I have no choice!" ”

"Why doesn't Your Majesty use Gao Xianzhi?"

Yu Chaoen took the opportunity to recommend Gao Xianzhi to Li Heng, and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu is the prince after all, and he has no experience in fighting, where is he the opponent of Ge Shuhan, who has been through a hundred battles, I have considered it for Your Majesty, I am afraid that except for Gao Xianzhi, no one here can compete with Ge Shuhan." ”

"Him?"

Li Heng shook his head and said: "I don't believe this person very much, even Ji Guangchen has surrendered to Li Qing'an, not to mention others, I want to let the department lead the army to the east." ”

Ji Guangchen's surrender to Li Qing'an was a great blow to Li Heng, among the generals in the Central Plains, he trusted Ji Guangchen the most, this person has always followed him and is loyal to him, but even he surrendered to Li Qing'an, so who else can he Li Heng trust?

In addition to his son Li Xian, as the saying goes, it depends on the father and son soldiers to go into battle, he only believes in his son, not to mention sending his son to lead the army, he can also seize Gao Xianzhi's military power by the way.

Yu Chaoen's recommendation of Ge Shuhan is selfish, he knows that Li Heng will not believe Gao Xianzhi, then Li Heng will definitely send someone to spy on him, and this person is the most suitable for himself, since he Yu Chaoen has lost the power of the inner guard, what about the military power? Is it possible for him to get his hands on it.

Yu Chaoen was about to speak again, when a guard ran to report: "Your Majesty, Gao Xianzhi is asking to see you outside the palace!" ”
