Chapter Seventy-Four: Swinging the Army to the North

Li Longji hugged Yang Yuhuan's body tightly, and the sadness in his heart flowed backwards.

When everyone learned that Yang Yuhuan had hanged himself, they followed Chen Xuanli to the front of the Buddhist hall and saw Li Longji holding Yang Yuhuan's body.

"Stand down!"

Seeing this, Chen Xuanli immediately ordered all the soldiers to retreat, immediately unloaded his swords, and stepped forward alone to ask for guilt: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister Chen Xuanli has come to ask for guilt, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Li Longji didn't say a word as if he hadn't heard it, just hugged Yang Yuhuan's body tightly, his eyes full of sadness.

After about a stick of incense, Li Longji finally spoke: "Aiqing is not guilty, go back!" ”

At this moment, Li Longji didn't want to pay attention to anyone, so he wanted to quietly send his beloved concubine on the last journey, so he ordered Chen Xuanli to retreat.

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

When Chen Xuanli heard this, he immediately bowed and retired, leaving Li Longji alone in the Buddhist hall.

An hour.

Two Hours......

Li Longji hugged Yang Yuhuan's body for three hours, during which he didn't think about tea and food, if it wasn't for Gao Lishi's persuasion, he was afraid that he would keep holding it like this.

"Your Majesty, the hour is almost up, it's time to let the concubine go to the ground!"

Colliers whispered.

Call!

C took a deep breath, Li Longji got up with difficulty holding Yang Yuhuan, and finally put Yang Yuhuan into the coffin with great effort.

"Aifei, you go first, I will accompany you as soon as I finish my work!"

After that, Li Longji reluctantly covered the coffin, and finally buried Yang Yuhuan hastily behind the Buddhist hall of Ma Weiyi.

In the city of Chang'an, the battle continued.

Every day, people are sacrificed, and every day there are territories seized by the rebels, Rao has masters such as Cheng Ping'an and Liu Qingqing to help, but he can't save the defeat.

Judging from the current situation, the fall of Chang'an City is only a matter of time.

Prince East Palace.

A hurried voice came from outside the hall.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

When the crown prince Li Xiang heard this, he immediately walked out of the hall, only to see that the person who came was Cheng Chen Xuanli's subordinate, Cheng Hu.

After waiting for a long time, Li Xiang finally waited for Chen Xuanli's news.

"Come on, how is the matter explained by this palace?"

Li Xiang asked impatiently.

At present, Chang'an City is in danger, if Chen Xuanli has not killed Yang Guifei, then he will be very passive and dangerous, leaving her with only two ways, either to defend Chang'an City and live for generations, or to abandon the city and flee, leaving a bad reputation for fighting.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Guifei has been executed by the emperor, and the morale of the 50,000 forbidden army soldiers is high right now!"

Cheng Hu reported truthfully.

"Yes, yes!"

"By the way, what is the emperor's attitude towards this?"

Li Xiang continued to ask.

"The emperor ordered to reward the forbidden army for their meritorious escorts, and there is nothing abnormal about it." Cheng Hu continued.

"Okay, General Cheng Hu has worked hard, let's go down and rest for a while!"

Hearing this, Li Xiang's hanging stone could finally land safely, and after so many days of hard fighting, it was finally not in vain.

When Cheng Hu heard this, he immediately refused: "Thank you for Your Highness's kindness, the general will go back to resume his life, so I won't stay long!" ”

After that, Cheng Hu turned over and left Chang'an City.

As soon as Cheng Hu left, Cheng Ping'an took Liu Qingqing to the East Palace to meet the crown prince Li Xiang.

"Your Highness, Cheng Ping'an asks to see you outside the palace!"

The guards reported.

"Hurry up, please!"

I heard that Cheng Ping'an was coming, the prince didn't have time to rest, so he immediately got up and went out to greet him personally, thanks to Cheng Ping'an these days, if it weren't for Cheng Ping'an desperately resisting on the front line, I am afraid that Chang'an City would have fallen into the hands of An Lushan.

"Cheng Ping'an, Liu Qingqing will see His Highness!"

The two of them bowed.

"Two people, please get up 1"

Seeing this, Li Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Ping'an and the others, and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, you came at the right time!" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Ping'an couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, the country is in danger at the moment, the emperor is unwilling to stay, all the soldiers and the people have high hopes for His Highness, if His Highness does not give up, I am willing to follow His Highness, wave my army to the north, and join General Guo Ziyi to fight the enemy together!"

When the crown prince Li Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Brother Cheng's words are exactly what this palace thinks, and this palace has this intention, if Brother Cheng is willing to follow this palace, it is naturally impossible to ask for it!" ”

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the grass people are willing to follow His Highness and exterminate the rebels together with His Highness!"

Cheng Ping'an once again said with a clear will.

"Yes, yes!"

"This palace has the help of a capable person like Brother Cheng, so why worry about the rebels not being destroyed!"

"It's just that the palace hasn't gotten the emperor's will yet, and if you go north at this time, I'm afraid it will leave a handle for those who have a heart, and it will ...... then."

Li Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, his face showing a little bitterness.

"Your Majesty is too worried, you conform to the will of the people, go north to resist the enemy, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, if Your Highness can really exterminate the rebels, recover the lost land, and return the people to the pure land, Your Majesty will not only not blame you, but will reward you!"

When Ping An heard this, he immediately admonished.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The concubine also felt that Cheng Brother was reasonable! ”

At this moment, the crown princess on the side heard the words and immediately echoed.

"Hey...... That's it, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, this palace will gamble once! ”

Finally, the crown prince Li Xiang finally went north to fight against Guo Ziyi under the desire to capture his old age.

"Your Highness is wise!"

"Cheng Ping'an obeys the order!"

"In!"

"This palace officially appoints you as the left vanguard of the north to resist the enemy, immediately recruit all or soldiers, and you can go north with this palace!"

"Order!"

……

At this point, the capital of Chang'an completely fell, and the army took advantage of the cover of night to quietly withdraw from Chang'an City.

Ma Weiyi.

After burying Yang Yuhuan, Li Longji finally recovered.

"Colliers!"

"The minions are here!"

Colliers whispered.

"What's the news coming from Chang'an City!"

Li Longji didn't want to leave Chang'an, and now that Yang Yuhuan is gone, he is even more reluctant to leave this capital where he has lived for most of his life.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an City has fallen at noon last night!" Colliers said with his head down.

"Fall...... Fall......? ”

"What about the Prince? Where is he? ”

Hearing that Chang'an City had fallen, Li Longji's heart felt as if the sky had fallen, and he was uncomfortable.

"The prince is ...... He has already led the remnants of the division to the north, ready to join General Guo Ziyi! ”

Colliers reported truthfully.

"What?"

"Without my will, how dare he make decisions on his own......"

When Li Longji heard this, he was angry, but he didn't expect his son to abandon the city and flee, and give up Chang'an City to An Lushan, how could he not make Li Longji angry.
