Chapter 542: Entering the city of Luoyang
readx; Ji Guangchen had a dream, he dreamed that he became the governor of Jingzhou, leading thousands of warships, the sails were overwhelming, and the mighty slaughter from the Han River to Chang'an, suddenly black clouds covered him, the wind was fierce, the white waves were monstrous, and his warship shook violently in the river, and it was about to capsize..... Ji Guangchen woke up from his dream suddenly, and several of his own soldiers were shaking him desperately, "General, it's terrible, the Anxi army is here?" ”
Ji Guangchen was still a little confused, and asked, "The wind and waves are so big, where does the Anxi Army come from?" ”
At this time, the shouting and killing sound had reached the outside of the tent, Ji Guangchen's personal soldiers were so anxious to lift him and run, rushed out of the big tent, only to see the fire outside, I don't know how many tents were lit by fire, the whole sky was reflected red, a team of Anxi cavalry galloped in the camp, the sword was bright, shouting to kill the sky, most of his soldiers were barefoot, there was no armor on their bodies, there were no weapons in their hands, some of them knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, some ran scattered, the camp was chaotic, some soldiers were unwilling to be killed, and rose up and fought with the Anxi cavalry, They were far from being the opponents of the Anxi cavalry, which was extremely fierce, like a group of tigers descending the mountain, the sword flashed, and the heads rolled to the ground.

Ji Guangchen was completely awake, and he was stunned by the tragic situation in the camp, so that the soldiers carried him away, and he didn't struggle at all, his mind was blank, where did they come from? Isn't Li Guangbi in Luoyang? Li Qingan led the army to Huazhou, how could the Anxi army fall from the sky?
At this time, Ji Guangchen finally came to his senses, he struggled to get off the ground, "Quickly let me down!" ”
The soldiers couldn't take care of his resistance anymore, put on a soldier's armor on him, pushed him on a war horse, and the war horse carried Ji Guangchen to the north camp gate, but just arrived at the north camp gate, only to see a shout, hundreds of Anxi cavalry surrounded him from all sides, with a bow and arrows, the spear was sharp, and the arrows and spearheads were aimed at him, at this time, I saw Li Guangbi appear in front of him, looked at him and smiled faintly: "General Ji, do you think you can escape?" ”
Ji Guangchen turned his horse's head around, hundreds of cavalry of the Anxi Army surrounded him, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers roared, ready to rush up to break through, but Ji Guangchen drank them, "Don't move rashly!" ”
He ripped off the armor of the soldiers on his body, hugged his fist at Li Guangbi and said, "I don't regret my death, please let General Li spare my soldiers." ”
Li Guangbi nodded, although this Ji Guangchen is a soldier on paper, but he is sympathetic to the soldiers, it is rare, so he said: "Yes, you let the soldiers all surrender, I will spare them!" ”
Ji Guangchen turned his horse's head and shouted: "Soldiers, listen, all surrender!" Listen to my orders and surrender them all! ”
Ji Guangchen shouted over and over again, and the camp gradually quieted down, and many soldiers who were ready to fight with the Anxi Army stood still, at a loss, 'Dangchang! Men dropped their swords, more and more soldiers laid down their weapons, and a troop of Anxi cavalry galloped past them, shouting: "Those who surrender with their hands raised above their heads, go to the Nanying Gate and concentrate!" ”
After a while, groups of soldiers raised their hands above their heads, and walked towards the south camp gate in groups, Ji Guangchen looked at the dead bodies on the ground, he couldn't help sighing, and said to Li Guangbi: "It's okay, you can dispose of me at will, I can kill if I want!" ”
After speaking, he closed his eyes and stretched his neck, but Li Guangbi ignored him, and coldly ordered the soldiers around him: "Take him down and hand him over to the general to deal with!" ”
A team of cavalry escorted Ji Guangchen away, Li Guangbi slowly stepped forward, looked at the messy military camp, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, most of them were captured alive, and they could explain to the general.
The battle in the camp ended quickly, Ji Guangchen's 30,000 troops were attacked at night in their sleep, almost powerless to resist, the frightened soldiers surrendered one after another, except for more than 2,000 people who resisted stubbornly and were killed, the remaining 27,000 people, including the patrol soldiers outside the North Camp, all surrendered, the main general Ji Guangchen was captured alive, and none of the 30,000 troops escaped, Li Guangbi fought a beautiful battle of annihilation.
That night, Li Guangbi ordered someone to report the good news to Li Qing'an, and he himself led the army into the Xingyang granary.
....... Luoyang, Li Qing'an walked into Luoyang City for the first time surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, although he had passed through Luoyang when he went to Yangzhou and served as an observer envoy of Henan Province, but he was in a hurry both times and did not enter Luoyang City.
Although the Luoyang clan is still written in his military register, in fact he came to Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty for the first time.
Luoyang, this is by no means a strange city for Li Qing'an, 1,300 years later, he was born in this city, but when he entered the Tang Dynasty ten years later, the memories of his previous life have long faded, as if he had a very long dream, in the dream, he returned to 1,300 years later...... Luoyang in front of him is so familiar, but it is so unfamiliar, the towering city wall, the heavy city gate, through the dark city hole, he saw the same as Chang'an, a piece of square houses, like a piece of vegetable furrows, neatly arranged on both sides of Luoshui, this is the world's male city, where can it see the decline of the later generations, and the Luoyang of later generations, where there is still the majestic posture of its ancestors.
Li Qing'an was very emotional, just the moment he entered Luoyang, and soon, the memories of his previous life faded away in the warm welcome of the people of Luoyang.
Li Qing'an entered the city from the Dingding Gate in Luoyang, and although there were no arrangements, nearly 300,000 people in Luoyang still spontaneously came to welcome the Anxi army into the city.
The 50,000 Anxi army marched into the city, Li Qing'an's carriage was mixed in the ranks, and 500 personal soldiers guarded the carriage left and right, they watched the surrounding situation vigilantly, and some of them remembered that Li Qing'an had been assassinated in Weishi County, Bianzhou.
The atmosphere on both sides of the avenue is extremely warm, many people beat gongs and drums, sing and dance, cheers one after another, as if the Anxi army is a triumphant return, for the people of Luoyang is indeed the case, the Anxi army for the Tang Dynasty to open up territory, defeat the Great Food Country, the destruction of Tubo, for the Tang Dynasty has made great achievements, they have no opportunity to express their gratitude to the Anxi soldiers, today the Anxi soldiers finally came to Luoyang, how can the people of Luoyang not pay tribute to the heroes in their minds.
Li Qing'an sat in the carriage, looking at the people who welcomed him on both sides, looking at the excited and joyful smiling faces, he felt a trace of inexplicable emotion in his heart, he knew that in the Anshi Rebellion, Luoyang was devastated several times, especially the Hui people in Luoyang plundered women, and the frightened Luoyang women hid in the White Horse Temple, but were burned to death by the Hui people, causing the tragedy of the White Horse Temple in history.
History has changed because of his arrival, it is impossible for Hui to come to Datang again, and there will be no more Ge Shuhan's mediocrity in Tongguan, so what about Luoyang? Will it still be breached by An Lushan and establish the Dayan Dynasty here?
Li Qingan hopes that it will not, but many things do not change with his hope, and he can only try his best not to let the historical tragedy repeat.
At this time, a tsunami-like shout came from outside the car window: "King Zhao - show up!" ”
"King Zhao - show up!"
Li Qingan was stunned, and gently pulled the corner of the curtain, only to see countless young people in Luoyang running with his carriage, and many people shouted while running: "King Zhao - show up!" ”
Li Qing'an suddenly remembered the evaluation of several old farmers in Xin'an County about himself, and described himself as like a devil, Xin'an County is very close to Luoyang, and his image should not be much better, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it is estimated that these people who ran with his carriage just wanted to see his dignity.
Li Qing'an lowered the curtain of the car, but suddenly heard his personal soldier Captain Zhang Yongqing said to everyone in a loud voice: "Fathers and fellow villagers, His Royal Highness King Zhao has had an arrow wound in Anxi, this time he has worked hard all the way to the east, and the arrow wound has recurred, His Royal Highness is now recuperating in the car, and he can't see everyone, and when the injury heals a little, he will definitely come to meet everyone!"
Zhang Yongqing's shouting was very effective, and the thousands of young people stopped chasing the carriage, Li Qingan smiled and shook his head, these guys are really getting more and more sleek, but thinking of the arrow wound, he couldn't help touching his left shoulder again, the arrow wound he suffered in Khorezm has already passed a year, but every rainy day still has a faint pain, and he can't even pull the seven-stone bow, which makes Li Qingan feel a sense of loss, this may be God's arrangement, making him farther and farther away from the battlefield.
The Anxi army has been moving forward, the front is Luoshui, Luoyang is divided into two, the south is mainly the people's neighborhoods, and the north is the imperial city, the palace city and a part of the neighborhoods, there are three bridges on the Luoshui water, connecting the north and south of Luoyang, and there are two population islands in the Luoshui just south of the end gate of the imperial city, two half-moon-shaped islands are piled up with mud, and there are bridges to connect the islands with both banks.
Anxi has been driving into the imperial city, only to stop, Luoyang Imperial City also has the same three provinces and six departments as Chang'an, Wu Zetian had lived in Luoyang for a long time, Luoyang was the political center of the Tang Dynasty at that time, but after nearly 50 years, there are not many officials in the imperial city of Luoyang, a huge building stands on the Yingtianmen Square of the imperial city, the buildings are a little dilapidated, occasionally there are crisp wind chimes coming, they seem to tell the changes of history in the wind.
The 50,000 army lined up to stand on the Yingtianmen officialdom, the momentum was majestic and magnificent, from the officials of Shangshu Province, out of a group of officials, they were nervously moving forward in the 50,000 army, and walked towards Li Qing'an's carriage, the leader was Yang Shenyu, who was left behind in the Eastern Capital, followed by Yin Peizhen of Henan Prefecture, Shi Miao Jinqing, the governor of Dugi Province, and Luoyang Lingjiwen and other more than a dozen officials.
It can be said that Luoyang, the eastern capital, is where the officials are degraded, Miao Jinqing was Li Heng's Ministry of Rites, after Li Heng fled south, Miao Jinqing did not follow, he was immediately demoted by the political hall to the governor of Dugi Province, Ji Wen is the same, he was degraded because of his close relationship with An Lushan, and was demoted from the military department to the Luoyang county commander.
Li Qing'an slowly walked out of the carriage, looked at Yang Shenyu and other officials with a smile, Yang Shenyu and the others stepped forward and bowed, and said: "The officials of the Eastern Capital saw His Royal Highness King Zhao, and they failed to go out of the city to greet him, please forgive His Royal Highness King Zhao!" ”
"Ministers, don't be polite, I'm also passing through Luoyang today, take a break for one night, and tomorrow I'll leave for Huazhou."
Pei Zhen stepped forward and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is entering Luoyang City for the first time!" We should do our best to be the landlord and accompany His Royal Highness to enjoy the scenery of Luoyang City. ”
Li Qingan had seen Pei Zhen a few days before departure, he didn't expect him to return to Luoyang so soon, Li Qingan nodded with a smile, looked around with his hand, in the southwest corner, he saw a huge building, exactly the same shape as the Taimiao in Chang'an, he pointed to the building, smiled and asked Pei Zhen: "That should be the Taimiao!" ”
"It's Luoyang Taimiao!"
Li Qingan smiled faintly and said: "Since I am a clan, can I not worship my ancestors when I come to Taimiao?" ”
