Gao Jien, the prison guard, was lying in the tent resting, and suddenly heard the noise of shouting outside, and hurriedly got up and lifted the curtain to look, but saw Yan Xiaosi wearing iron armor, followed by two people striding with horizontal knives.

He put on the official authority of the imperial envoy and reprimanded: "Yan Xiaosi, what the fuck are you doing!" Even a few people can't manage the chaos! ”

Yan Xiaosi didn't care about him at all, walked up to him quickly, and shouted loudly: "The eunuchs made a rebellion, causing the Hexi Army brothers to mutiny!" Everyone's punished quickly! ”

Lieutenant Envoy Li's face changed in an instant, and he took two steps back in horror, squeezing out a hard smile: "Brother Yan, don't make such a joke. ”

"Who the fuck is your brother!" Yan Xiaosi pulled out a horizontal knife and stabbed it into his chest.

At this time, the generals were fully convinced that Deputy Envoy Yan was really going to lead them to mutiny, and they each ordered in a loud voice: "Quick, kill another eunuch envoy, and go to Yu Chaoen's camp to restrain him!" ”

Yu Chaoen is different from these prison guards, he has his own tooth army under his hands, these soldiers guarding outside the tent saw the Hexi army coming, and immediately ran to call Yu Chaoen in his sleep: "Ambassador, run!" The Hexi Army mutinied! ”

The eunuch hurriedly got up from the felt, did not even wear a coat, and fled outside the camp wearing only a white middle single.

The angry soldiers rushed into the camp tent, only to find that Yu Chaoen had already run away. They were about to chase and kill, but Yan Xiaosi ran over and shouted: "Don't care about Yu Chaoen anymore!" Now that the Lord is on the border between Xiangzhou and Weizhou, we will set up camp and join him in the past! ”

"Brothers, get up! To Weizhou! ”

……

In the camp of Duan Xiushi, Dai Wang walked quickly through the camp, stood in front of the big tent of the Chinese army and said: "Zhongcheng, Dai Wang asks to see him." ”

Duan Xiushi hadn't fallen asleep yet, holding the scroll in his hand and draping his robe, and said, "Deputy Envoy Dai, please come in." ”

Dai Wang stood still at the door of the tent and took off his mask, revealing a hideous scarred face. Duan Xiushi was shocked when he saw his scarred face, and he didn't know how to speak.

"My real name is not Dai Wang, but Xu Bin, Tianbao three years, the fire of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the explosion of the Xuanyuan Lantern Tower, the mysterious disappearance of the Son of Heaven, now after many years, I still remember it clearly. I thought I could wake up the emperor, and I thought I could change the situation. But the situation is not as I hoped, the mediocre people are still in the court, and the ambition tigers and wolves are entrenched in the opposition. Now that the Shenzhou Catastrophe is being displaced, what is the imperial court that the people have given high hopes for? Internal struggle for power and profit, up and down, the heroes who are aspiring to pacify the world are suspected, and the nine knots make the siege of Xiangzhou suspicious of each other......"

"Wait," Duan Xiushi interrupted him and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

"The Hexi army mutinied tonight, and has withdrawn to the border of Xiangzhou and Weizhou, the lord is waiting for us there, Duan Zhongcheng still remembers what he said before, make your decision tonight, and evacuating from Yecheng means drawing a line with the imperial court."

Duan Xiushi stood stunned for a moment, walked two steps forward and shook Xu Bin's hand and said: "The lord and Mr. Xu trust me so much, how can Duan Xiushi be defeated, I will order the whole army, pull out the camp and follow the lord." ”

"Pass on our military order, the three armies will withdraw from Yecheng and retreat in the direction of Weizhou."

……

Tian Zhen, Li Chongbao, and Zhao Chongyu stood in the camp tent of the commander of the Anxi Army, and said to Feng Changqing, who was sitting in front of the desk, with both hands on his chest: "Feng Zhongcheng, please make a quick decision, now that the lord has returned, our brothers can get together again, why should we be at the mercy of the eunuchs and the court." ”

Feng Changqing tugged at his beard and sighed, "Why do you want to be at this time?" Yecheng is about to fall, and the traitor An Qingxu is about to be pacified, and Shi Siming will be lonely at that time, and the sudden withdrawal from the battlefield at this time will lead to the defeat of the Ninth Army, and you and I will be infamous for a lifetime. ”

Tian Zhen said eagerly: "Feng Zhongcheng, you also know what urine sex the imperial court has, Zang Xiye made great contributions at the beginning, but because he was jealous of the imperial court, he was deprived of the position of envoy of Hexi Jiedu, does Zhongcheng still want to be a loyal and filial son?"

"The court has not failed me, how can Feng Changqing bear this name of disloyalty and injustice?"

"General Feng, the doctor treated you well in the past, why do you abandon the doctor and follow the so-called imperial court now?"

Tian Zhen's face was flushed, and she was about to stare at it, but she was stopped by Li Chongbao reaching out. Chongbao took half a step forward, bowed to Feng Changqing and crossed his hands: "Master, I have come to thank you for your grace in teaching these days, but I, as a son, must follow in my father's footsteps." Now that the situation is like this, we all have our own aspirations, and we have a good relationship with our brothers in the army in the past.

Feng Changqing rubbed his brows and nodded: "In this case, this is the most unharmful way, even if you are willing to go with you, you can take the soldiers who are willing to leave, and those who are willing to stay can also stay." Thinking of the feelings of the past, I will not move tonight, after the rising sun tomorrow, even if we are clear, if we meet on the battlefield in the future, you don't have to show mercy. ”

Feng Changqing has already said this, what else do they have to say.

"Thank you, Zhongcheng." Li Chongbao and the three solemnly crossed their hands towards Feng Changqing, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Tian Zhen shouted angrily: "What did the lord say when he went into the wilderness, but now he suddenly regrets it, I really want to kill this thing with a knife."

Li Chongbao said with a relaxed expression: "Everyone has their own aspirations, the general doesn't have to mind too much, if he doesn't want to follow his father sincerely, even if he forcibly forces them to submit tonight, there will be many troubles in the future, and now is the right time to ensure that the loyalty of the team is not diluted."

The three of them each returned to their camps, gathered their men and announced: "We will go to the border of Weizhou to follow Taiwei, and those who are willing to go with us will follow me to abandon the camp!"

So the soldiers of the three battalions led their horses out of the camp, and in the dark night they held torches and galloped towards the east.

What Li Chongbao, Tian Zhen, and Zhao Chongyu took away was the most elite cavalry army in the Anxi army, the Modao team and the Shule army, more than 10,000 people. Seeing this, Sima Ma Pho hurriedly ran to Feng Changqing's camp and asked, "Zhongcheng, why do you want to let them leave with their troops, can the Anxi Army still be called the Anxi Army after it is divided?"

"Everyone has his own ambitions." Feng Changqing shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that Taiwei Li I would break away from Chang'an when he was famous and hibernating, and came to the vicinity of Xiangzhou to erect a banner of rebellion. When he was in charge of the three towns of Longyou, he was the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he never had such a mind when he was in charge of 200,000 troops, which is really incredible. ”

……

Li Siye led more than 200 horsemen from Huaizhou to the north, crossed the Yellow River from Heyang Bridge, set fire to Heyang Bridge after crossing the bridge, alarmed the local county soldiers, went to Weizhou after a short fierce battle, and finally reached the border between Weizhou and Xiangzhou after a trek of more than ten days.

This was the most dangerous moment of his military career, Shi Siming's rebel advance was less than thirty miles away from him, and the enemy battalion was directly stationed in Weizhou. He had to work out day and night to avoid the soldiers.

In the early morning of 30 September, the Hexi Army was the first to reach the border between Xiangzhou and Weizhou, and the rebel vanguard thought that the Tang Army was going to free up its hands to deal with them, so they hurriedly withdrew the forward troops.

Through the movements of the rebels, Li Siye found the traces of the Hexi Army, and immediately led more than 200 people to rush towards the Hexi Army army array fluttering in the wind. The left wing of the Flying Tiger Cavalry led by Bai Xiaode saw a small team approaching, and immediately ordered the troops to mount their horses and stand on guard, holding the horned bow in their hands and shouting, "Which part of you are?"

Li Siye rode forward on a black horse and shouted loudly with joy: "Bai Xiaode!"

"My lord? Lord!"

Bai Xiaode was overjoyed, rode his horse and ran to Li Siye, turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground to fork his hands, Li Siye hurriedly dismounted and helped him up, and said with a smile: "You and I are reunited, and it is not in vain that I have waited for these few days."

He entered the Hexi army with a horsewhip in his hand, and the generals under his command came forward to greet him, and the soldiers raised their spears and cheered.

"Lord, I heard that Hexi could not support long under the attack of the Tubo people, the soldiers are very worried, we are very happy that the lord can come back, and I only hope that the lord will take us back to his hometown in Hexi."

Li Siye stood on a high place and promised the generals: "Brothers, Anxi in Hexi is your hometown and our foundation, and one day the world will be pacified, and I will lead everyone to fight back to Hexi!"

In the morning, the Anxi and Beiting armies also rushed to the border between Weizhou and Xiangzhou, with a total of more than 70,000 troops, which was almost half of the number of Tang troops under the city of Xiangzhou.
