Li Siye also noticed their strange expressions, turned over and dismounted and walked to Li Xun to help him up, and said modestly to the officials behind him: "Everyone, please get up quickly." ”

"Doctor Li Xiang, as well as all the officials in Shuzhong who have contributed to the city, how can Lone turn a blind eye to you and treat you badly. You were originally from the Li Tang clan, but you failed to inherit his father's title of King Xin'an. Follow me into Chang'an and make you the king of Xin'an and the crown prince. Marching Sima Duji was promoted to the post of Assassin of Yizhou, and the rest of the officials were all promoted to one rank. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to Li Siye again: "The ministers have thanked the king!" ”

"Everyone, please get up quickly, after entering the city, you will set up a banquet in the army, and invite all Chengdu officials and elders to drink and celebrate."

He glanced at the ranks of surrendering officials, but did not see Guo Yingyi and Guo Yinggan, brothers who were quite influential in the Jiannan Army, so he asked: "On the day of the dedication of the city today, why didn't the two generals Guo come?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone below was embarrassed, and Li Xun had no choice but to say euphemistically: "Guo Yingyi and General Guo Yinggan have different opinions on the matter of dedicating the city. Therefore, he kept his door at home. ”

"Oh." He secretly noticed in his heart, and then pretended not to care, and said, "In that case, we don't have to worry about him." Cui Mi, you quickly lead people to take over the solidarity camp, remember not to miss the banquet. Cui Ning, let's hold a banquet in your Jiedu Envoy's mansion, and now everyone will go with me. ”

Just as Li Siye was feasting officials in Chengdu City to taste fine wine and enjoy light songs and dances, Yan Wu couldn't sit still in Shanzhou City.

Since Duan Xiushi collected his troops and withdrew, there was no sign of moving troops, which made him feel an ominous premonition in his heart, did something happen in Chengdu?

After careful consideration in the Yuanmen, he decided to lead his troops to Chengdu, if the jiedu made Li Xun still hold on, then he could just attack and attack on the periphery, so that Li Siye's army could not take care of the front and back, and at the same time give Li Xun confidence. If they have already surrendered, then he must fight to the death, otherwise he will be sorry for his iron bones.

He led the 30,000 Jiannan army under his command to Leshan, from Meizhou to Yizhou direction, on the way he heard that Li Xian dedicated Chengdu to the enemy, so angry that he fell off the horse, the generals hurriedly helped him up and pinched the people, poor Yizhou Shu only one person loyal to serve the country, but it is difficult to save the situation from decay.

Yan Wuqi's lips trembled and said: "I hate my Yan Wu's lack of skills, and he was finally mistaken by traitors, Chengdu was lost, Shuzhong has fallen into the hands of traitors, and now His Majesty is even more lonely in Jiangdong, and Datang Sheji is in danger!" ”

He tried his best to support his body, put the horizontal knife in his hand and said: "The generals listened to the order, and the army quickly advanced to the city of Chengdu, killed the traitors, and recovered Shuzhong!" ”

The two generals stepped forward and admonished: "Yan Gong, don't do it, at the beginning, Li Siye divided his troops into Duan Xiushi, we were not opponents, and now we are all gathered in the city of Chengdu, and there is a united battalion of 15,000 people who surrendered. It is better to lead the army to retreat to the area of central Guizhou first, and then retreat to Jiangdong to serve His Majesty, and advance to resist Li Siye's infiltration and control of Guizhou. ”

Yan Wu had already been carried away by emotions, and said angrily: "In the past, how many generals were able to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak, but now our army will win, how can they not defeat just one Li Siye." Dispatch troops! ”

The two generals wanted to persuade again, but Yan Wu shouted angrily: "Shouldn't you two also be the people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and betray the country for glory?" ”

After the two retreated, the rest of the Jiannan Army continued to march, and was detected by the scouts sent by the Hexi Army, and quickly reported to Chengdu.

After Li Siye learned the news, he was overjoyed and said: "It's a good time, so you don't have to move the people to find him." ”

He immediately ordered someone to call Cui Ning and Cui Mi brothers and said: "Your two brothers have newly ascended to the position of envoy of the festival and the military envoy of the unity battalion, and I am afraid that you will not be able to convince the public due to your shallow foundation, so I will give you a meritorious service, you must seize the opportunity." ”

The two hurriedly asked, "I don't know what kind of opportunity it is?" ”

"Yan Wu doesn't know whether he wants to lead the army to attack Chengdu, you two lead the united battalion out of the city and garrison troops in the northwest of the city, and when he arrives, we humiliate him on the city wall and provoke him to attack the city, you can take the opportunity to attack from behind, and I will send Duan Xiushi to take the opportunity to go out of the city and attack on both sides, and it is not a great achievement to take Yan Wu down."

The two brothers looked at each other, and then crossed their hands and said, "Thank you for the king's love, we will bring Yan Wu's head to the king." ”

On the way back from Cui Ning's Cui Mi brothers, Cui Mi muttered suspiciously: "He actually asked us to lead the Jiannan Army Unity Battalion, which had just returned to Shun, to fight the Jiannan Army, did he want us to kill each other to weaken the power of the Jiannan Army?" ”

Cui Ning nodded and said: "I thought the same thing just now, but after Li Siye entered Sichuan, he promoted all the generals in Sichuan, and did not place outsiders in Sichuan, nor did he intend to send the Hexi Army in Sichuan, thinking that he just wanted to perform the art of checks and balances, and wanted us to offend most of the officials in Shuzhong, so as to prevent our family from becoming dominant." But the terrain in Shuzhong is unique, once he withdraws and seals the Sword Pavilion in the future, Shuzhong will definitely be the territory of you and my brothers, and then we will clean up these disobedient people, and re-use taxes to strengthen the Jiannan army, why not be the emperor of Shuzhong? ”

The two brothers laughed triumphantly.

……

Since Chengdu was broken by the Hexi Army, Guo Yingyi and Guo Yinggan brothers have been idle at home farming, and Li Siye did not send anyone to arrest them.

The two of them are also very clear about the affairs of the outside world, and know that the culprit who was attacked in Shu is Cui Ning, the Cui Mi brothers, compared to other people, they hate the Cui brothers the most, and they can't wait to eat their flesh raw. It's just that the two of them now have the support of Li Siye and have become hot figures in Shu, but they are about to become prisoners.

The two brothers were planting vegetables in the garden, and the housekeeper suddenly came to report: "There is a guest outside the door, claiming to have met Dalang in Chang'an, and he has come to visit." ”

Guo Yinggan looked at his brother in surprise, and Guo Yingyi himself was a little confused: "A guest in Chang'an? You go and tell the guest that Guo Yingyi lives in seclusion at home, closed doors. ”

At this time, there was already a hearty laughter outside the park: "Guo Yingyi, the former dignified military envoy, is doing such a villain's thing at home?" ”

The two servants stopped again and again: "You guest is so ignorant, how can you force yourself to break into someone's house, according to my Tang law, break into the room, and the master will kill you with a cane." ”

The Guo brothers looked in the direction of the visitor, and immediately nervously held the hoe, the person who came was the traitor Li Siye, who was sitting in Chang'an and holding the puppet emperor hostage. Behind him were Li Siye's marching chief Wei Yingwu and general Duan Xiushi.

Li Siye smiled indifferently at the servant who stopped in front of him, but looked around at the scenery in the garden and said: "It is said that the people in Shu are outstanding people, and it should be this beautiful land that raises this people." ”

Guo Yingyi motioned for the servant to step back, but he crossed his hand at him with a somewhat stiff expression: "The rough people in the mountains have seen the King of Xiliang." ”

King Xiliang was the title given to Li Siye during the Li Longji period, which can be regarded as an expression of his unwillingness to be his subordinate.

Li Siye shook his head with a smile, sat on the stone pier of the pavilion and put his knees on his hands and said: "The general is known to be talented, and he will not return to the old countryside in his prime, and he has lost this good years and three-foot body in vain. ”

Guo Yingyi crossed his hands and refused: "My two brothers have received the grace of the emperor and will always be the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they can't bear to do things that betray the master, and I hope that the king of Xiliang can be Haihan." ”

Li Siye said regretfully: "In the past, there was an uncle Qi Boyi who didn't eat Zhou Su, and both starved to death in Shouyang Mountain. ”

Maybe the two of them really thought that Li Siye was regretting, but in fact, here in Li Siye, Shu Qi Boyi is a derogatory term and a representative of the self-standard orphan festival.

Li Siye left from Guo's mansion, and Guo Yingyi continued to bow his head and wave? His brother Guo Yinggan became sad, turned to his brother and said: "I am also familiar with the books of sages and sages, and I know the truth of loyalty and righteousness, but now that the Jiedu envoy Li Xun has been lowered, and the deputy envoy of the Jiedu Yan Wu was defeated and killed. Our two brothers oppose the dedication of the city, and being able to do this step is already worthy of the teachings of our fathers, and we are also worthy of the kindness of Datang and His Majesty. But you and I have been up and down for half our lives, and we have offended many people in the officialdom, if it really falls to this point. Now that Li Siye is sitting in Chengdu, no one dares to make small moves, but as soon as Li Siye leaves, he will inevitably attack us like the Cui brothers.

"Alas, it's not that I don't want to be rich in front of me, but I don't want the children to suffer with us. Brother, you should give me a word. ”

Guo Yingyi is just on crutches? The head sighed and said faintly: "Wait and see, it's really not possible, let's find a way to go to Jiangdong." ”
