Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, who received Li Longji's order, adopted the correct method of warfare, that is, to hold Tongguan.

This step made the plan of the enemy army from afar unable to succeed in a quick battle, and Tongguan, as a barrier to Chang'an, also effectively protected Chang'an.

However, as I said before, Li Longji in his later years has become dizzy and no longer wise and resolute in his youth.

However, some treacherous villains spoke ill of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing in front of Li Longji, slandering them for colluding with the Anshi rebels, so they did not engage the rebels head-on.

Without careful investigation, Li Longji actually beheaded the two for public display, causing the imperial court to lose two experienced and brave generals!

After that, Li Longji sent the elderly Ge Shuhan to lead the army of Tongguan to resist the enemy.

At that time, there were 200,000 troops guarding Tongguan!

Ge Shuhan correctly judged the situation on both sides, and also believed that holding out was the best way to resist the enemy, and as the days dragged on, Tang Xuanzong also lost patience with them.

In addition, the incompetent Yang Guozhong was instigating Xuanzong to issue a holy decree to force Ge Shuhan to fight, and Ge Shuhan knew that the battle would be lost after receiving the holy decree, but he was afraid of the majesty of imperial power and had to lead troops to fight.

In the end, he was defeated, and he was also tied up by his men and taken to the enemy camp.

From then on, An Lushan invaded Chang'an, and without any obstacles, Li Longji had to take his guards and henchmen, leaving most of the eunuchs, palace maids, and even the children of the royal family, and secretly fleeing.

Then, there was the change of Ma Weiyi behind.

Not only was Yang Guozhong himself beheaded by the rebellious soldiers, but even Yang Yuhuan was killed in a row.

It can be said that the reason why the Anshi Rebellion had such a great influence and caused the Tang Dynasty to decline from prosperity was not because of how good An Lushan was13 and how powerful he was.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were not a few people who could quell the chaos.

But the problem is that even powerful generals can't withstand the attacks of their allies.

What's more, whether it is Li Longji or Yang Guozhong, they are not allies of the generals, but the bosses of the generals.

Spread this kind of enemy who protects me and beats my subordinates, not to mention Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi, even Bai Qi, Li Jing, and even Lian Po and Li Mu can't bear it.

The only people who can defy the sky are probably Sun Wu and Guiguzi.

And that's just an approximation.

As for whether it can be done, we have to fight to find out.

To be honest, it is estimated that even An Lushan did not expect that he could win consecutive battles all the way, defeat several famous generals, and successfully attack Chang'an.

If you want to talk about meritorious deeds, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong are the biggest contributors to An Lushan.

From this point, it can be seen how stupid Li Longji was in the Anshi Rebellion, and how incompetent Yang Guozhong was, so that he could play a hand of cards and lose the cards.

However, Yang Guozhong, who is a waste dim sum, doesn't know that he is jumping up and down now, and he is taking an unshakable step towards the abyss of death.

As a person without self-knowledge, he certainly can't know that his actions are basically doing non-stop death.

Now he is constantly excited that An Lushan can be eradicated.

However, in front of the emperor, Yang Guozhong couldn't say that I came up with this idea just to force an anti-An Lushan, so his eyes rolled around and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea. ”

Li Longji said: "Speak. ”

Yang Guozhong said: "The emperor can order that An Lushan be summoned to meet him, without mentioning the rebellion, and say that Niangniang likes the gift he gave at the Feast of Bliss very much and wants to give him a return gift." The emperor can also hint in the holy decree that he wants to add an official to An Lushan. ”

"As long as An Lushan comes to Chang'an, then his life and death are not all in the emperor's control."

"Your Majesty, you can rub An Lushan as much as you want. Even the emperor can imprison him in Chang'an City and deprive him of all his rights. ”

When Li Longji heard this, he thought it was a good idea.

Chang'an City is his territory, as long as An Lushan dares to come to Chang'an City, then he has a hundred ways to subdue An Lushan.

So he immediately issued a holy decree and ordered someone to send it to An Lushan's lair as soon as possible.

As for Yang Guozhong, who succeeded in his plan, he left the palace excitedly and returned home.

Halfway through, Yang Guozhong sneered vigorously, he had already thought about it, once An Lushan arrived in Chang'an and fell into his hands, he would definitely treat this old thing well.

After he falls out of favor, he will return the resentment he has received over the years to An Lushan little by little.

He will let An Lushan know what it means to survive and not to die.

Then at this moment, the carriage suddenly shook lightly and stopped.

Yang Guozhong couldn't help but be stunned, raised his head and scolded through the curtain: "Yang San, why did you stop the car." ”

Yang San is his henchman Yang Guozhong, and he is also his groom.

Yang Guozhong waited for a few seconds, but didn't hear Yang San's response, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, when did Yang San be so bold that he dared to ignore his own question.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and got up and lifted the curtain, "Yang San, ...... I ask you?"

However, in the next second, Yang Guozhong's voice came in an interception.

Because he found that there was no one before his eyes.

Yang San, who was supposed to be sitting in the driver's seat, disappeared.

But this was nothing, except for Yang San, even the guards around him had disappeared. To add insult to injury, the pedestrians on the street were gone.

This street is Suzaku Street, which is the most prosperous street in Chang'an City.

He returned from the palace to his prime minister's mansion and would pass through this street every time.

And this street, except for the night, the rest of the world, the most things are people, there are so many pedestrians coming and going, the sound is loud, noisy and noisy.

But now, all the pedestrians are gone.

Not only the pedestrians on the street, but in fact, even the restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street are empty.

Yang Guozhong stood on the carriage, and could even see a cup of steaming tea on the table of a teahouse, and wisps of heat were steaming from the teacup.

Originally, there was supposed to be a tea drinker, but now the tea drinker is gone.

The pedestrians in the streets, the drinking high-rollers, the laughing children, the martial artists, the walking merchants, the graceful women, the people who used to be seen, are now all gone.

Yang Guozhong looked over and found that there was only one person in the entire street.

That's himself.

The air was eerily silent except for the sound of his breathing.

Seeing this strange scene, Yang Guozhong only felt a cold chill rising from his spine, and it rushed straight to his head in an instant, and his scalp exploded.
