readx; "General, His Royal Highness King Yong has another sentence for me to dictate to the general. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" the guard said calmly.

Li Qingan was stunned, he couldn't help but take a closer look at the guard, and felt that this person was vaguely familiar, so he smiled and said, "I seem to have seen you." ”

"The general has seen me, I was a guard of Daming Palace, my father Wei Lian, my name is Wei Yingwu, I was transferred to Yongwang's Mansion to join the army at the beginning of last year, and this time I went to Longyou with His Royal Highness King Yong."

Li Qingan nodded and said, "I remembered, it was in front of the Wei Mansion, when you were with Ling Zun." ”

"The general is right!"

Wei Yingwu smiled and said, "Is the general willing to listen to the message I relay?" ”

Li Qingan groaned for a moment and said, "Okay, you can say it!" ”

"King Yong dictated, if Li Qing'an is willing, he can enter the court as the right minister, and Anxi's successor will be determined by Li Qing'an."

"Is that what His Royal Highness King Yong said?"

"Yes, I paraphrased it word for word."

"I also ask you to relay King Yong, I have written down all his words."

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Wei Yingwu saluted, turned around and walked under the city wall, Li Qingan kept looking at his back and disappeared into the night, then turned around and asked Yan Zhuangdao: "What did Mr. think?" ”

Yan Zhuang was about to speak, but Li Qingan stopped him and smiled: "We might as well follow Kong Ming and Zhou Yu, write it on our hands, and see if we see the same." ”

Kong Ming Zhou Yu did what he did back then, although Yan Zhuang didn't know, but he understood the meaning of writing on his hand, he wrote two words on his hand with a torch, Li Qingan also wrote two words, clenched his fists, the two hands approached, and opened their palms together, under the firelight of hunting, I saw two identical words written on both hands, 'Enter Beijing!' ’

The two glanced at each other, both comprehended, and couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh together.

Li Longji is critically ill, Guanzhong is empty, An Lushan and Hedong are looking at the tiger, Chang'an must be panicked, if he takes advantage of the weakness to enter Beijing, Li Qing'an can take advantage of the time, place and people, an hour later, three thousand Anxi iron horsemen left Liangzhou and galloped away in the direction of Chang'an.

．．．．．．．． Qinggangling camp, the accident happened again, Rongwang Li Wan was forced to go to Lingzhou to persuade An Sishun, but he knew that going to Lingzhou at this time was tantamount to a sheep into the tiger's den, so he didn't go to Lingzhou at all, after crossing Qinggangling, he hid in nearby villages and towns, but it was his decision that made him a day earlier than Li Heng received the news, but the road in Qinggangling was washed away by a mudslide, and he couldn't rush back nearby, so he had to bypass Qinggangling, despite this, he still rushed back to Qinggangling camp half an hour earlier than Guo Ziyi.

Li Wan has been kneeling in front of Li Longji's sickbed for a long time, Li Longji is lying quietly on the bed, he has been in a coma for five days, long-term indulgence and the serious harm of aphrodisiacs finally brought him to the critical point of life and death, fortunately he did not die, although he was obviously emaciated, but he could still eat liquid food, saving a surname, as a human life he can continue, but his imperial career has come to an end, whether it is the political forces of the Tang Dynasty, or ordinary courtiers and people, They can't accept an unconscious emperor, Yang Guozhong realized this, and now Li Wan also realizes that the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty is about to come out, Li Wan's heart is very chaotic, he is not prepared at all, things come suddenly, he doesn't know how to deal with it, and the confusion in his heart makes him kneel in front of his father, and it is difficult to make a decision for a long time.

Yang Guozhong next to him was anxious, he hoped that Li Wan would come to preside over the overall situation and take control of the military power, he should go to convene a meeting of senior generals and let the generals be loyal to him, instead of hiding in this corner and thinking about his father, seeing that almost half an hour had passed, Li Wan had no intention of acting, Yang Guozhong couldn't help it anymore, stepped forward and gently helped Li Wan to persuade: "Your Highness, please mourn and change, the immediate urgency is to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the army from mutiny, does Your Highness understand?" ”

"I know." Li Wan sighed and said: "I have already taken back the military power of the Hedong Army, and the other Longyou and Guanzhong armies may not be so easy to control, and I will talk to them one by one in the evening, I believe I will be able to convince them." ”

"Evening!" Yang Guozhong was anxious all of a sudden, he had never seen such an indecisive person, at such a critical moment, he had to talk again at night, Yang Guozhong couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart, and the surname Suo made his words clear, "Your Highness still doesn't understand, if Your Highness masters the 200,000 army, the Tang Dynasty throne will belong to Your Highness, at such a fateful moment, Your Highness has nothing to hesitate about, hurry up and convene a meeting of the generals to get their allegiance, Wu Xianyi's two sons have also rushed here, one step later, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be gone." ”

As soon as Yang Guozhong's words fell, there was a sudden urgent report from the guards outside the tent, "Xiangguo, Shuo Fang Jiedu has made Guo Ziyi enter the camp, and there are 3,000 cavalry with him. ”

Yang Guozhong was stunned, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Who is so bold and dares to let him in?" ”

"No one decided, so the soldiers guarding the camp gate naturally let him in."

Yang Guozhong was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again, "Oops, Your Highness, it's really bad now!" ”

There is no doubt that Guo Ziyi must have come to seize power, the sweat on Yang Guozhong's forehead was so anxious that he was so blind that he pinned his hopes on this indecisive prince, Yang Guozhong regretted it, but he had no choice, he grabbed Li Wan, who was also stunned, and hurriedly said: "Now hurry up and catch the Hedong Army in your hands." ”

．．．．．． The arrival of the veteran Guo Ziyi made the situation in the Qinggangling camp take a sharp turn, Guo Ziyi won the rare support of the Longyou generals Yang Jinghui and Wang with his strong connections in the Longyou Army, so that the 40,000 Longyou Army turned to the prince Li Yu to pay allegiance.

However, Li Wan, the king of Rong, also succeeded in regaining the military power of the Hedong army, and in the chaos, he and Yang Guozhong led the Hedong army to retreat twenty miles to the southeast to contend with the Qinggangling battalion. At this time, Li Heng appeared in the barracks, he took over the care of Li Longji, who was seriously ill, and sent Chen Xilie back to Beijing as soon as possible to announce the important news that Li Longji had fallen into a coma to the ministers of the DPRK and China.

At the same time that Li Heng appeared in the military camp, Wu Xianyi's two sons Li Xuan and Li Xuan also arrived, and they joined forces, about 20,000 people, stationed in the west of Qinggang Ridge, echoing the army of Li Wan, the king of Rong, and the two armies, one east and one west, put pressure on Li Heng together, ordering him to hand over Li Longji, and the three parties fell into a stalemate.

．．．．．． Li Qing'an led 3,000 iron cavalry to cross the Yellow River in Huizhou, galloping eastward day and night, they crossed the Liupan Mountain from the victory pass into Jingzhou, the pass was empty, they went all the way unimpeded, two days later, 3,000 cavalry arrived at the north bank of the Wei River, after several days of high-intensity marching, the men and horses were exhausted, it was the end of the strong crossbow, Li Qing'an saw that the army was tired, so he ordered the troops to be stationed in a military camp close to the Wei River in Jingyang County.

At this time, the sky has been dusk, Li Qing'an rode to the bank of the Wei River, he urged the horse to rush up a high slope, he stood on the high slope, the majestic and magnificent Chang'an City in the distance has been vividly in sight, the breeze is light, the sunset over Chang'an gradually changed from goose yellow to scarlet, in the distance, the magnificent Daming Palace on the dragon head is shrouded in a rose red, in the purple sky as if the eternal flowers are shining.

"There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists!"

Li Qing'an muttered to himself, this world-famous oriental city is in front of his eyes at this time, so close to him, but when will he really enter this big city?

At this time, his henchman Nan Jiyun rode slowly to Li Qing'an's side, and said in a low voice: "General, I think this is an opportunity, Guanzhong is empty, our Anxi army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and with only 50,000 people, we can completely control Guanzhong." ”

Li Qingan shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Nanba, this is not an opportunity, but a trap, if I enter Chang'an at this time, then I will be like Dong Zhuo back then, sooner or later I will be ruined and die." ”

"But the general, this is not the end of the Han Dynasty, the general is not Dong Zhuo, An Lushan is, he thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if the general lets it go in vain, it would be a pity."

"Transferring 50,000 troops from Anxi, it will take at least more than a month to come and go, what will happen during this period, have you thought about it?"

Li Qing'an glanced back at Nan Jiyun, and saw that he looked regretful, so he pointed to a cargo ship in the Wei River and said: "Look at that ship, although it is strong and sturdy, but if there is no river to carry it, no sail gravity, no crew to work, how can it sail against the current, in my opinion, the river is the time of the day, like the background of my life experience, although I am after the completion of the project, but after all, it is not orthodox, if you want to get the support of the government and public opinion, this is not something that can be done in a while; And the sail is geographically advantageous, this is like the timing of the army, you say that because Guanzhong is empty now, we can send troops, in fact, what if you get Guanzhong, at most it is only a king of Guanzhong, and also carry a reputation for rebellion, the reason why Cao Ying was able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it was because he seized the opportunity, Emperor Han Xian was forced by Dong Zhuo, Cao Ying was to rescue the driver, so he was recognized by the world, and what am I? At most, it can only be Dong Zhuo, who made An Lushan Cao Ying, commanding the world and leading the eighteen princes to attack Chang'an? ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan saw that Nan Jiyun was silent in thought, so he patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "The key is also the Anxi soldiers, they are like boatmen, whether they can work together, whether they will fully support me, you are my confidant, of course you will support, but not every Anxi army soldier is willing to support me, I still need time, I still need time to fully control the Anxi army, if I am in a hurry, once there is an internal disagreement, it is very easy to be divided by others, from the inside to be broken by others, and it will be difficult to get up again." ”

Nan Jiyun nodded silently, for a long time, he also smiled: "I understand what the general means, the time, the place, and the people are all indispensable, with the general's current prestige, there is no problem to be the king of Anxi, but if you want to take Chang'an and replace it, it is indeed not too late, it is too simple for me to consider the problem, but I still don't understand a little, why did the general bring 3,000 people to Chang'an?" ”

"It's very simple, have you forgotten that I am also one of the Xiangguo?"

Li Qingan smiled slightly and said: "When the old and new emperors change their thrones, I can stay out of the way, but tonight, I want to meet someone first." ”

．．．．．．．．． The night quietly shrouded the land of Guanzhong, a bright moon rose, the bright moon hung in the sky, although only half of it, far from the reunion, but it also sprinkled the soft and clear light all over the world, mountain peaks, bamboo, fields, temples, fences and haystacks, all covered in the endless white hazy light gauze and thin silk, it seemed ethereal, mysterious and beautiful.

Dozens of miles east of Chang'an is Lishan, there is the famous Huaqing Palace at the foot of Lishan, the army of Huaqing Palace was also taken away by Li Longji, only more than 100 Yulin troops are guarding the Tang Winter Palace, Li Qing'an is under the escort of more than 300 personal guards, and also came to Lishan, but he is not coming to Huaqing Palace, more than a dozen personal guards take care of the horses at the foot of the mountain, Li Qing'an and other personal guards climbed up Lishan Mountain together, the mountain road is rugged, the forest is dense, the spring water is dingdong, the scenery is very beautiful, they climbed up the mountainside, there is a waterfall in the distance, the sound of water roars, Moist water vapor blows in the face, and in the depths of the bamboo forest not far from the waterfall, a corner of the eaves is faintly exposed, and there is actually a temple.

At this moment, more than a dozen black shadows appeared from all sides, they were vigorous and extraordinary, all with long swords or hard bows on their bodies, the leader was a man in his thirties, among all of them, his martial arts were the strongest, he stepped forward quickly, kneeling down for Li Qing'an on one knee, "Yu Chengjun, the scout captain of the lowly Anxi Army, see the general." ”

Yu Chengjun is one of Li Qing'an's confidants, and he was arranged by him to be the deputy leader of the spies in Chang'an.

A few more words need to be said here, since the exposure of the Han and Tang Societies last year, Li Huichun suffered misfortune, Li Qing'an took this opportunity to start reorganizing the Han and Tang Societies, and all the people Li Jue knew withdrew to Anxi or Broken Leaves, and sent a large number of newcomers to various parts of the Central Plains to preside over the helm of the Han and Tang Societies, among these newcomers, a large part of them were drawn from the Anxi Army, Li Qing'an took this opportunity to transform the Han and Tang Societies into his own intelligence agencies, and they used various industries as a cover to send a large amount of intelligence to Anxi.

At present, the general person in charge of Chang'an is still Chang Jin, and his deputy is Yu Chengjun in front of him, and the dozen or so black-clothed people with him are all members of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Li Qingan nodded and said, "How is her condition?" Is there anyone who is going to bother her? ”

"Not yet, it's very hidden here, and most people don't know about it."

"Does she know you exist, then?"

Yu Chengjun hesitated for a moment and said, "The female Taoist priests in the Taoist Academy may know a little. ”

"You continue to guard all around, don't disturb her practice."

Li Qingan said to the soldiers again: "Everyone is on guard all around, just a few people need to follow me in." ”

Li Qing'an, under the escort of several confidants, walked into a bamboo forest along a path, and through the bamboo forest, a Taoist temple suddenly appeared in front of him, the Taoist temple was built according to the mountain, covering a small area, but it was very tall and sturdy, and it could be seen that it was a new Taoist temple that had been repaired for a few years.

Li Qing'an walked up the steps, glanced at the plaque on the gate with his hands behind his back, and saw three words written on it, 'Meditation and contemplation. ’

He smiled, stepped forward and tapped the knocker a few times, and in a moment, there was a sound of footsteps inside, and an old woman's voice asked, "Who is it?" ”

"A pilgrim who came to visit."

The door creaked open, revealing an old face, wearing a Taoist crown and a gray Taoist robe, an elderly female Taoist priest.

When she saw that there were several soldiers outside, she was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the door, Li Qingan had expected it, and blocked the door as soon as she stretched out her legs.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, may I ask... What's the matter with you? The female Taoist priest was extremely nervous and stammered and asked.

"I want to meet the concubine."

The female Taoist priest's face changed greatly, and she said hurriedly: "Here... There is no concubine, the donor must be mistaken. ”

Li Qingan smiled and said, "Is there really nothing?" ”

"Nope!"

There were several Taoist aunts walking inside the door, the leader was a female Taoist priest in her forties, tall and fat, looking at Li Qing'an with a vigilant face, and shook her head resolutely: "You are mistaken, please go!" ”

Li Qingan sneered, clapped his palms, and saw a large number of sergeants suddenly appear on the edge of the bamboo forest, all of them were fierce and murderous, and the face of the female Taoist priest suddenly turned pale, and she took a few steps back again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?" ”

Li Qing'an bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Please report to the concubine, just say that Li Qing'an specially came to visit her during the Anxi Festival." ”

"You turned out to be Li Qing'an!"

Several female Taoist priests blurted out in shock, and Li Qingan nodded with a smile, "It's exactly below!" ”

He took out a golden arrow and handed it to the middle-aged female Taoist, "Give this to her, you can't see her." ”

The middle-aged female Taoist priest looked at Li Qingan for a long time, and finally took the golden arrow, "Okay! Please wait a moment and don't come in just yet. ”

"I'll just wait here."

The door closed again, the footsteps went away, and after a while, there were footsteps in the door again, and the door opened again, and the middle-aged female Taoist priest just now clasped his palms and saluted: "General, please come with me." ”

Li Qingan walked into the gate, and several personal soldiers also followed, but the female Taoist priest said: "The real person said that only the general can go in alone." ”

"You guys are waiting for me here, I'm out of the way."

Li Qing'an gave a few instructions, and then followed the female Taoist priest into the depths of the Taoist temple, passed through the Sanqing Palace, and came to a courtyard, the female Taoist priest took him to a small door, pointed to the door and whispered: "She lives in it, you go by yourself!" ”

Li Qing'an nodded silently, and walked into the small door, inside the door is a small courtyard, in the middle of the yard is a canopy of grapevines, green leaves are crawling all over the old vines, and the tender branches spread in all directions, the night breeze is light, which is refreshing, Li Qing'an saw that there was a small piano platform in the corner of the courtyard, and there was a piano on it, he couldn't help but shake his head, and walked quickly to a room, and before he could speak, Yang Guifei's soft voice came from the room, "General Li, please come in!" ”
