Chapter 161: The army is coming, and the three of them converge

Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji were hurriedly fleeing from Shaolin, and Qin Tianci asked, "Big brother, are we going back to Hangzhou Wanhualou now?" ”

While running, Gu Liang Naji replied, "No...... Before I left, I wrote to my second brother...... Let's go straight to him now......"

It is now in late August, and due to the preparation of various things, the great plan to recover Chang'an has been completed at this time. They also knew that this battle would also be won in the end, because Yan Zhuang had planned to hold the decisive battle in Luoyang. It's a pity that now his plan has fallen through, and I don't know what variables there are.

Of course, Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji knew that General Guo Ziyi was naturally the marshal of the army, and General Guo Xi was naturally also in the army. And if the imperial army wants to recover Chang'an, it will definitely launch a general attack, and they must be near Chang'an City at present. So Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji hurried to Chang'an.

On August 23, Emperor Suzong sent his generals to attack Chang'an. Su Zong said to Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, "The success or failure of the matter is in one fell swoop." ”

Guo Ziyi replied, "If this battle cannot recover Chang'an, the ministers should repay with death." ”

As a result, the war to recover Chang'an and attack the main force of the An rebels officially began.

On 27 August, the Imperial Historian Cui Guangyuan defeated the rebels at Luogu (Note 1). Guangyuan marched with 2,000 men of Sima Wang Bolun and judge Li Chunshuai to attack Zhongwei Bridge (Note 2), killed more than 1,000 rebel soldiers guarding the bridge, and took advantage of the victory to attack Chang'an Yuanmen. When the rebels were stationed in the martial arts, they rushed back to Chang'an when they heard that the Weiqiao was lost, and on the way they attacked the official army with the rebels defending the city, Bolun was killed in battle, and Li Chun was captured and sent to Luoyang. After that, the rebels no longer stationed their troops in martial arts.

Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji rushed to the vicinity of Chang'an City, but the imperial army was hundreds of thousands, and it was not easy to find General Guo Xi. The two had to follow the large army and slowly search.

On September 2, Sid commanded a small number of cavalry to challenge the city, and thousands of miles of cavalry opened the city prominently, wanting to capture Sid. When the rebel rescuers arrived, Qianli collected the troops and returned, but because the bridge was broken, he fell into the moat and was captured by Sid. Qianli looked up to the sky and sighed and said to Congqi: "I was unfortunately captured by the rebels, this is the will of heaven!" After you return to the city, tell the generals, please guard strictly, you have lost your commander, and you must not lose the city again. Sid commanded the army to attack the city, but before the attack could be taken, he sent thousands of miles to Luoyang, and An Qingxu was awarded as a special advance, and he was imprisoned in the guest province.

On September 12, Marshal Guangping Wang Jiao, Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, led the troops of Shuofang and the Hui and Western Regions to help, totaling 150,000, known as 200,000, and set off from Fengxiang. When I saw Ye Hu, the covenant was a brother, and Ye Hu was overjoyed and called Yu a brother. Returning to the army to Fufeng, Guo Ziyi stayed for a banquet for three days.

Ye Hu said: "The country is in trouble, my soldiers have come from afar to help, the difficulty has not been eliminated, how can I eat!" ”

But General Guo Ziyi still held a banquet to entertain him, and Ye Hu was the best at refusing it, so he had to accept this brotherly welcome ceremony.

Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji were also mixed in, and a big banquet was set up for the past three days, and the two moved closer to General Guo Ziyi. Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after a few days of pursuit, Qin Tianci finally saw Guo Zhun. This Guo Zhun is the deputy general of the young marshal Guo Xi, and he has seen this person when he was in Xunyang City and Hangzhou City. So if you find him, you will definitely be able to find Guo Xi.

Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Nayin followed Guo Zhun to a military tent, and when they saw him enter, the two leaned down and leaned down.

I could only hear inside, Guo Zhun said, "Major General...... You don't go outside to be busy? ”

"Now it's a critical juncture, and my father is doing this just to boost the morale of Yehu Khan who returned to the Khanate......"

Guo Zhundao, "Young General, don't you know, this Huairen Khan's appearance is really ugly......"

"Bold, how can you say that?"

Guo Zhun was frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, yes...... Despicable gibberish...... gibberish ......"

"I can't let outsiders hear this...... Now we need the help of the troops of the Hui Khanate, and what you say is detrimental to the morale of our combined army......"

"Yes...... It's ......"

Gu Liang Naji and Qin Tianci were outside the door, and Gu Liang Naji said, "Ouch...... It's a pity that we still heard it......"

Qin Tianci smiled, "What do you say?" ”

The major general next to Guo Zhun said angrily, "Bold...... Who is it? Dare to eavesdrop on General Ben......"

Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji opened the curtain of the military tent alone......

Guo Xi saw that it was his two sworn brothers, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and said excitedly, "Is it the eldest brother and the third brother?" How are you? Come on, come in...... Some time ago, I received a letter from my eldest brother saying that you would be coming soon...... You see......"

Qin Tianci smiled as he came in, "Don't worry...... There was no one around, only we heard those words......"

Guo Zhun blushed on the side, a big man was still a little embarrassed.

Gu Liang Naji came in while waiting for Qin Tianci to finish speaking, and then said, "Knowing that the second brother led the army to fight, there are many inconveniences and bothering the second brother, and I hope the second brother will forgive ......me."

Guo Xi said to Guo Zhun, "Fortunately, it is my two brothers, if it is someone else, you and I will be to blame." ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

Guo Xi continued, "It's all brothers, look at what you said...... However, I am also worried that the two brothers will not be able to find me, and I am also trying to find a way to contact the brothers. ”

Gu Liang Najib said, "It's not...... A few days ago, my third brother and I were looking for you in the army, no, it wasn't for this banquet and Ye Hu, we wouldn't have seen Brigadier Guo, let alone find you so soon. ”

Getting back to the point, Guo Xi asked, "The two brothers are looking for me so urgently, isn't there something big?" ”

Qin Tianci said, "It's really a big deal for us, but it's a small matter for the second brother, and I ask the second brother to help ......."

Guo Xi said angrily, "The three of us brothers still talk about whether to help or not, and if there is anything to say." ”

Gu Liang Naji said, "Dare to ask the second brother, is the best blacksmith in the world in the army?" ”

Guo Xi said, "When marching and fighting, you have to prepare food and materials, and the best blacksmiths are of course in the imperial court weapons prison, and they are not in the army." However, the Weapons Supervisor is not far from here, and it is easy to dispatch them. What is the urgency of the two brothers to find these masters? ”

"It's not a secret...... But there is something important that they need help with. Qin Tianci said.

Guliang Najib continued, "Here's how it ......"

So the two of them explained to Guo Xi in detail what happened during this time, especially what happened after Lingyun Pavilion was killed, as well as the methods left by Yun Feihu and Gu Liang Fu to defeat Yan Zhuang before their deaths, and the fact that Shaolin stole the three Jianghu orders.

Guo Xi was shocked to hear it, you must know that Yan Zhuang is the first strategist of An Qingxu's rebel regime, and he is a prime minister-like existence in the An regime. I also knew that this person's martial arts were extremely high, but I didn't expect that he could really destroy Lingyun Pavilion, one of the four major sects of the rivers and lakes, with the power of one person, which was really terrifying.
