In December of the same year, after Tang Xuanzong lost Luoyang, he listened to the slander of the eunuch supervising the army Bian Lingcheng, killed the generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, and used the sick and abandoned Longyou Jiedu at home to make Ge Shuhan the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, and ordered him to lead an army of 200,000 to guard Tongguan. The terrain of Tongguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After Geshuhan entered Tongguan, he immediately strengthened the city defense, deep ditches and high fortifications, and closed the retreat. In the first month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan ordered his son An Qingxu to lead troops to attack Tongguan, but was repelled by Ge Shuhan. The main force of the An'an army was blocked at Tongguan for several months and could not advance westward. An Lushan saw that the strong attack could not work, so he ordered Cui Qianyou to camp the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in Shaanxi County. and hid the elite troops, trying to lure Ge Shuhan to abandon the danger and go to war. In May, Tang Xuanzong received information that the rebel general Cui Qianyou had "less than 4,000 soldiers in Shaanxi County, and all of them were weak and unprepared", so he sent Ling Ge Shuhan to send troops to recover Shaanluo. Ge Shuhan immediately wrote to Xuanzong, thinking: An Lushan has been accustomed to using troops for a long time, and now he will rebel, and he will not be unprepared, and he must use the weak soldiers of the division to lure us. Moreover, the rebels are on an expedition, and the benefits are fast. The officers and soldiers relied on the natural danger of Tongguan to resist them, and the advantage was to hold on. Moreover, the rebels are tyrannical and unreasonable, lose the hearts of the people, and are declining day by day, and civil strife will soon break out, and then they can attack him again and capture him without a fight.

At the same time, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi attacked the rebel general Shi Siming in Hebei, fought several big victories, and the progress was very smooth, so the two of them thought that Tongguan should only be defended, not lightly, and the two advocated leading the Shuofang army to the north to take Fanyang, overthrowing the rebels' lair, and promoting the internal collapse of the rebels. However, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong suspected that Ge Shuhan intended to seek himself, so he told Tang Xuanzong that Ge Shuhan would miss the opportunity if he did not move. Xuanzong believed the slanderous rumors and ignored Guo and Li Liang's schemes, so he successively sent the envoy to urge Brother Shuhan to fight. Ge Shuhan was forced to be helpless and wept.

Ge Shuhan was forced to lead his troops out of the customs on the fourth day of the sixth month, and on the seventh day of the first month, he met Cui Qianyou's department in Lingbao Xiyuan. Lingbao is backed by mountains in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and a narrow mountain road of 70 miles long in the middle. Cui Qianyou ambushed the elite soldiers on the southern mountain in advance, and led the troops to a decisive battle with the Tang army on the eighth day of the first month. The Tang army led 50,000 elite soldiers led by Wang Sili and others, followed by 100,000 troops led by Pang Zhong and others, and another 30,000 people were sent to beat drums and assist on the high ground on the north bank of the Yellow River. The two armies intersected, and the Tang army saw that the rebels were in disarray and wanted to flee, so they drove straight forward, but were lured into the pass. The rebels rose up in ambush and threw rolling wooden stones from the mountain, and the Tang soldiers crowded the pass, which was difficult to spread, and there were many dead and wounded. Goshuhan hurriedly ordered the felt cart to charge in front of him, trying to open a path, but was blocked by the rebels with arson grass carts. The Tang army was dazzled by the smoke and could not see the target clearly, thinking that the rebels were in the thick smoke, so they fired crossbow arrows indiscriminately, and did not know the plan until the sunset. At this time, Cui Qianyou ordered to ride with Luo Jingcai from the southern valley back to the back of the official army to kill, the Tang army was attacked before and after, chaotic, some abandoned their armor and fled into the valley, some were squeezed into the Yellow River and drowned, the cry of despair was shocking, a tragic situation. Seeing the defeat of the former army, the Tang Hou army collapsed without a fight. The Tang army on the north bank of the Yellow River saw that the situation was unfavorable and also dispersed. Ge Shuhan only took hundreds of horsemen to flee in embarrassment, crossed from the Yellow River to the west into Tongguan, and dug three trenches outside Tongguan, all of which were two zhang wide and one zhang deep, and the people and horses fell into the ditch, and it was filled in a while, and the people behind stepped on the corpses. The Tang army had nearly 200,000 troops, and only more than 8,000 fled back to Tongguan. On the ninth day of the first month, Cui Qianyou captured Tongguan. Ge Shuhan withdrew to the Guanxi Station and posted a post to recruit the lost soldiers, wanting to continue to guard Tongguan. The Tibetan general Huoba Guiren surrounded the post station with more than 100 cavalry, went in and said to Ge Shuhan: "The thieves are coming, please get on the marshal." Ge Shuhan walked out of the post station and got on his horse, and the generals and the generals buckled their heads and said: "The marshal has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and he abandoned them all in a battle, how can he have the face to see the Son of Heaven again?" And didn't the marshal see what happened to Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing? Please marshal surrender An Lushan! When Geshuhan did not comply, Huoba Guiren tied his legs to the horse's belly and surrendered to An Lushan along with other disobedient generals.

These days, the Lingyun Pavilion has been very busy preparing for the Young Pavilion Master's nineteenth birthday. Although the imperial court has changed a lot now, and many people have been displaced due to the war, the Lingyun Pavilion has also done relatively lightly for this purpose.

Qin Tianci has never had a decent birthday since he was a child, at most, Sun Lingyi prepares a small gift for him every year, but he is also very moved and content. This time, Yun Mu Nan wanted to compensate his grandson, but because of the national war, Qin Tianci tried his best to be simple.

On this day, a nineteen-year-old girl dressed in dark blue tight-fitting silk came to Qianzhou City. She is the daughter of Gu Liang Fu of Wanhualou, Gu Liang Nayin.

She looked very haggard, and it wasn't just her trekking. Gu Liang Nayin came to the door of Lingyun Pavilion and asked to see Qin Tianci, but the gatekeeper naturally would not let her in.

"Let me meet your young pavilion master, Qin Tianci."

One of them said dismissively, "Who are you?" Why do you see our young pavilion master? No, no, no. ”

"I really have something very important to find your young pavilion master."

"It's all said to go aside, how can our young pavilion master be seen by ordinary people?"

Gu Liang Nayin said anxiously, "If you don't let me see me, I won't leave......"

"That's whatever you want......"

A voice rang out inside the gate, "Who's yelling outside?" ”

One of the guards at the door hugged her fists and said, "Miss Sun, there is a girl here who wants to find our young pavilion master." ”

As soon as Sun Ling stepped out of the threshold of the gate, she looked carefully at the woman with a haggard face in dark blue clothes, "Girl? Looking for that stinky boy? "I thought, when did Qin Tianci meet such a good-looking girl again.

When the woman heard the gatekeeper call her Miss Sun, she hurriedly said excitedly, "May I ask if you are the sister of Sun Ling's first grandson?" ”

"You are? I don't think I know you, right? As soon as Sun Ling found out that this woman knew her, but she didn't know her, she suddenly felt strange.

"Sister Sun, I have something to ask you and the young pavilion master of Lingyun Pavilion for help." Gu Liang Nayin was sure that she was Sun Lingyi, and said excitedly.

"Do you have something to ask me for? But I don't even know you. Sun Lingyi was even more puzzled.

Gu Liang Nayin said excitedly, "It was Xiao Jinlong who asked me to come." ”

Little Golden Dragon?

Qin Tianci was still massaging his meridians for his grandfather Yun Mu Nan in the study, when he suddenly heard Sun Ling shouting, "Stinky boy! Oh no! Stinky boy! Oh no! ”

Qin Tianci heard Sun Ling shouting, and he was busy collecting his work and stopping massage, so as not to distract himself and hurt his grandfather. He got up, opened the door, and saw Sun Ling hurrying towards him with a girl in dark blue clothes. Hurriedly said, "Why all the fuss, I'm still treating my grandfather's internal injuries!" ”

Sun Ling pulled Gu Liang Nayin into the door and said loudly and urgently, "Xiao Jinlong is seriously injured and needs our help. And...... And...... It has something to do with the black face of Shaolin Temple......"
