Chapter 166: Each Holds His Heart (Thanks to the Scarecrow Book Friend Long Book Friend for the Reward)

Pingyuan Taishou nodded: "If you lose, you have to die." ”

The scribe smiled and nodded, and drew a short sword from his sleeve.

Taishou looked to the south and said angrily: "If An Lushan wants to turn the news into truth, we will fail to eliminate thieves for the country, and we will have no shame to live anymore." If An Lushan's rebellion is fake, our actions will be tantamount to complicity, and the Son of Heaven will not allow us to live. I only hope that what Yang Guozhong said is true, we will not die of rebellion, but of begging for thieves. ”

"Brother Qingchen, I'll go first!" The scribe looked at the castle and smiled, and the short sword in his hand suddenly swung out, and blood splattered from his neck.

Seeing the scribe fall under the city gate, the plain Taishou nodded to the Jingsai military envoy beside him, and suddenly jumped down from the top of the city, and fell straight down from his feet.

Gao Wenyuan, the envoy of the Jingsai army, looked at the hundreds of soldiers returning from the city and smiled: "Disperse!" You've done your best. Then he stabbed a sword in his neck and fell to the head of the city.

After returning from the bloody battle, the 800 Jingsai soldiers knelt at the gate of the city and bowed, and then left Pingyuan City under the leadership of several captains and walked to the nearby mountains. From this day on, the Jingsai Army will cease to exist.

……

When Ma Lan was in Anxi, everything in Chang'an City followed the original track, and everything happened at the original time without exception. He originally thought that the history of this world would not change much because of his arrival, but after he arrived in Chang'an City, he found that everything was changing completely differently.

When he arrived at this place, his influence on the historical trend of the Tang Dynasty became great.

Eight hundred Anxi New Army athletes left Chang'an City fully armed, but instead of going to Anxi, they headed northeast. Ma Lan sat on the back of Qinghai Skull, looking at the lonely land next to the official road, and felt that everything was extremely ridiculous.

In Anxi, he is like a little butterfly that breaks into the garden of the Tang Dynasty, although the flapping of his wings will also affect the history of the Tang Dynasty, it is only a small change. However, after arriving in Chang'an, everything seemed to be out of control, and the torrent of Tang history seemed to have completely entered another river, and he couldn't see where it was going at all.

For example, the ambush of An Lushan by Yan Zhenqing, the Taishou of the Plains, was absolutely nothing in the original history, but now it happened inexplicably!

Yan Zhenqing's move made the situation turbulent, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and he didn't know how the situation would develop next.

"It's really unpredictable." Ma Lan glanced at Niu Xu, who was a little too excited, and said secretly in his heart.

Nanji Yunlei Wanchun led a group of rangers to lay a big net outside Chang'an City, hunting and killing many guys who wanted to deliver news to An Lushan, but they couldn't stop Yang Guozhong's direct accusation that An Lushan was going to rebel The news spread to all parts of Hebei Province. Yan Zhenqing, the Taishou of the Plains, must have gotten the news, so he conspired with Gao Wenyuan, the envoy of the Jingsai Army stationed in Pingyuan County, and actually ambushed An Lushan who entered Beijing to worship the Son of Heaven in the southern valley of Pingyuan County.

The Jingsai army was originally a subordinate of An Lushan, and Ma Lan never imagined that An Lushan would be ambushed by his own subordinates in Hebei Province. It seems that An Lushan's mastery of Hebei's military horses is not absolute.

Jingsai army and Heshuo Jingcai a bloody battle, An Lushan with more than a dozen personal soldiers escaped, along the way along the path to Chang'an, after crossing the Yellow River due to arrow wounds, had to stop on the way, sent a general Ashina Chengqing to Chang'an City alone, to report to the Son of Heaven.

Ashina Chengqing broke into Chang'an City on horseback, ran to Huaqing Palace and knelt in front of the Son of Heaven and the ministers and wept bitterly, the Son of Heaven was extremely angry, and immediately ordered Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, to take 5,000 forbidden troops to Hebei to arrest Yan Zhenqing and the Jingsai army who were in trouble. However, before Chen Xuanli's army set off, there was news from Pingyuan County that Yan Zhenqing, the Taishou of Pingyuan, and Gao Wenyuan, the envoy of the Jingsai army, had committed suicide in fear of crime, and the rest of the Jingsai army fled to the mountains without knowing where to go.

In this way, the Longwu army returned to the barracks before leaving Chang'an, and Li Longji ordered the hussar general Ma Lu to take the eight hundred athletes of his department to follow Ashina Chengqing to find An Lushan, and then escort An Lushan back to Chang'an City safely.

Things are so weird, he made a lot of preparations to kill An Lushan in Chang'an City, but now he has to personally lead troops to protect the safety of this dead fat man.

……

The army galloped all the way on the official road, and Ma Ling sat on the horse's back and his mind was in a hurry.

The famous Plains Taishou Yan Zhenqing died like this, thirty years earlier than the original history. The 3,000 Jingsai army poured out of the valley and ambushed, and actually let An Fatzi, who only had more than 300 horsemen, successfully escape.

If An Fatzi was killed by Yan Zhenqing, then all the problems would be solved, and he only needed to think about the matter of immigrating to the river. I heard that An Fatzi was hit by more than 20 arrows and survived, which is really fateful.

Yan Zhenqing was originally a Beijing official, and was originally expelled from Chang'an City by Yang Guozhong, but this time he was convinced of what Yang Guozhong said, and decided to beg for the country.

"Uncle Pony, let's kill this guy on the way." Niu Xu hugged the giant bow and leaned over to Ma Luan and whispered.

Ma Lan smiled bitterly, why didn't he want to do this. As a posterity, he wanted to kill this fat man more than anyone else, but it was too risky to do so.

He wasn't a timid man, but if something might affect the plan to collect the river, it had to be taken seriously.

Since Tibet has collapsed, even if the Anshi Rebellion breaks out, it will not affect the road to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. From his personal point of view, it is naturally more important to collect the river.

The Central Plains became chaotic, but the land of the Central Plains still belonged to the Han family. The opportunity to take over the land in the river is fleeting, and if we don't seize this opportunity to make a comeback of the Great Cannibals, and then start the historical process of the Turkic conversion to Huda, then it will leave endless troubles for future generations.

If he only had his eight hundred henchmen, he would definitely kill An Fat Man without hesitation, anyway, An Fat Man was already injured, and it was normal for him to die. But this time, it was not only 800 Anxi athletes who went to greet An Lushan, but also a famous lieutenant official, Ma Lu's old acquaintance, Bian Lingcheng, the general of the prison gate. With this guy here, it's inevitable that everything will shrink back.

Bian Lingcheng is Yang Guozhong's person, and Yang Guozhong must also want to kill An Lushan, but Bian Lingcheng's guy originally stepped on Ma Lu's position, and he and Ma Lu have already formed a relationship.

Ma Ling and Yang Guozhong ignore each other when they meet now, they don't look like Weng Son-in-law at all, if An Lushan is killed in front of Bian Lingcheng, Yang Guozhong is happy in his heart, but he will inevitably seize this matter and make a big fuss, which will inevitably affect Ma Luan's plan to enter the river. With such an opportunity, Ma Lu naturally refused to give Yang Guozhong.

Niu Xu couldn't have known these things, otherwise he wouldn't have said such things.

With this lieutenant in his presence, Ma Lan felt like he was following a fly. Although Bian Lingcheng was extremely respectful with a smile on his face, Ma Ling knew very well that he was ready to stab himself in the back at any time, and he was extremely wary of this guy.

This guy himself is also a practitioner, and it is not easy to hide from him and kill An Fatzi.

Killing An Lushan at this time is not a good choice. Originally, according to the original time, Yang Youniang should officially marry him in three days. At this time, he was driven out of Chang'an City by Li Longji to meet An Lushan, and the marriage was naturally temporarily unavailable, which also shows how much Li Longji attaches importance to An Lushan.

The dead fat man is really Jane in the emperor's heart, Ma Lu said in his heart.

……

Ashina Chengqing led the way in front, walked east for three days out of Chang'an, and found An Lushan and his party in an abandoned deserted village far from the official road.

An Lushan is even fatter than Ma Lu imagined, lying on the bed is a lump of fat, and he actually has a high fever that does not go away. When Ma Lu arrived, An Lushan didn't open his eyelids at all, and it looked like he would die at any time.

Ma Lan was secretly happy in his heart, looking at this dead fat man, he only hoped that he would swallow his breath in the next breath, but on the surface, he was silent.

Bian Lingcheng touched An Lushan's forehead, and then uncovered the white cloth covering An Lushan's body and looked at it, and said: "The arrow wound is festering, it seems to be more dangerous, I hope General An can live to Chang'an." ”

"My general was plotted by traitors, and he fell into such a field! After arriving in Chang'an, I must ask Your Majesty to give justice to my general! Ashina Chengqing's face was furious.

Bian Lingcheng glanced at Ashina Chengqing, frowned and said: "You are a noble breed of Yin Mountain, Daixiong Desert, how noble your identity is, General An is just a miscellaneous beard after all, a person with noble blood like you, is it really willing to send someone under the fence?" ”

Ma Lingcheng's heart moved slightly, and he glanced at Bian Lingcheng. Bian Lingcheng smiled: "Ma Xiang, I just think it's a little strange." Ashina is loyal to my Datang a lot, loyal to a border general more than loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but I haven't seen it, I'm just curious, I don't mean to provoke the relationship between the handsome generals, hehe. ”

This was said extremely viciously, Ashina Chengqing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The angel said that he laughed, Chengqing is loyal to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Bian Lingcheng smiled, pulled Ashina Chengqing up, patted him on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Everyone is tired today, Ma Xiang, let's rest here for one night to see if General An can survive it." Either way, it's never too late to leave tomorrow. ”

Ma Lan smiled and nodded: "Very good!" ”

In fact, it is not yet noon at this time, and it is completely possible to start rushing back. Ma Ling saw that Bian Lingcheng was acting strangely, and he also wanted to find out what this guy wanted to do.

"After a few days of driving, I can finally take a good rest." Bian Lingcheng smiled, and before leaving, he patted Ashina Chengqing's shoulder.

Ma Lu took the athletes to camp on the spot, and deliberately chose a place far away from An Fatzi's residence. Bian Lingcheng took a few attendants and set up two tents farther away under the pretext that they wanted to be clean.

The remaining dozen or so An Lushan's personal soldiers surrounded the house where An Lushan was located, and no one paid attention to it at all. At night, Ashina Chengqing finally realized something and quietly walked into Bian Lingcheng's tent.

"Uncle Xiaoma, the dead eunuch actually wants to kill the dead fat man." Niu Xu went to the back of the tent to eavesdrop for a long time, and then slipped back to say to Ma Xuan. (To be continued.) )
