Chapter Seventy-Five: No Regret

After being the emperor for so many years, Li Longji realized that something big was going to happen, and hurriedly issued an order: "Gao Lishi, send a fast horse quickly, and send a decree to him to join me immediately, if not, ......"

Before Li Longji finished speaking, Gao Lishi interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, forgive the slave for speaking bluntly, this is not the same as it used to be, now is not the time for you to sit in the Jinluan Palace, now they have no will from you, forcing you to kill the concubine Niangniang, they are not willing to wave their troops to the north without your will, don't you understand?"

"Now that the prince is complying with the will of the people, he is waving his army north to fight the rebels, I'm afraid that you can't find a suitable reason if you want to call him back!"

Gao Lishi's words had already been spoken very thoroughly, and Li Longji was shocked after listening to it.

Call!

Thinking of this, Li Longji's intestines were full of regret.

"Hey...... If I hadn't left Chang'an, it would have been great, and there would have been no such thing! ”

"It's all providence, providence!"

Regret is regret, but there is no regret medicine in this world to take.

Late!

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, you better go back, be careful of being infected with the wind chill!"

Seeing this, Prime Minister Wei immediately admonished.

"Okay...... Let's go! ”

Li Longji saw that the general trend had gone, so he had no choice but to continue westward and go straight to Shudi.

On the second day after Li Xiang abandoned the city and fled, An Lushan's henchman Sun Xiaozhe led 3,000 men and horses to rush into the unguarded Kyoto without any resistance.

At the same time, the crown prince Li Heng, in accordance with Cheng Ping'an's proposal, led the army to the north, passing through Xingping, Jinzhou, Pingliang, and went straight to the northwest.

After more than three months of long-distance travel, he finally got the territory of Guo Ziyi, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu.

Fifty miles outside the city of Shuofang.

Sigh!

Cheng Ping'an tightened the reins suddenly, and chased the wind and stopped steadily next to the prince's chariot.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Look ahead and turn over the hill in front of you, and we'll reach Shuofang!"

Hearing this, the crown prince Li Heng poked out his slightly fat head and looked at the city wall in front of him, and the stone hanging in his heart was finally able to land with peace of mind.

In the past three months, he has suffered a lot of crimes, he can't sleep a good night's sleep, he hasn't been hungry, now it's okay, when he arrives in Shuofang, this is Guo Ziyi's territory, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"General Cheng, you quickly send someone to Shuofang to inform General Guo Ziyi, just say that the palace is coming, let him come and take over quickly!"

Li Heng commanded.

"Order!"

As soon as the words fell, a herald rushed out of the team and headed straight for Shuofang.

After about half an hour's effort, the prince and his party finally came, in front of the city gate of Shuofang, Guo Ziyi heard that the prince was coming, and hurriedly took a group of subordinates to the city gate early to greet the prince.

"Your Majesty, you see General Guo Ziyi is here to greet us!"

Cheng Ping'an pointed to the fiercest member of the crowd and said.

"Good...... Sure enough, it's General Guo Ziyi! ”

Prince Li Heng has never seen Guo Ziyi, and he recognized Guo Ziyi at a glance, and the corners of his mouth were also filled with joy at this moment.

"Dismount!"

Guo Ziyi also saw the prince and immediately stepped forward to take over.

"The last general, Guo Ziyi, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Guo Ziyi's face was full of respect, without the slightest hint of a general's shelf, and he knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"General Guo, please get up!"

Seeing this, the prince immediately stepped forward to help Guo Ziyi, and the two of them were smiling at each other, as if they had not seen each other for a long time.

"General Guo, I didn't expect you to come to greet this palace in person, I really flattered this palace!" Li Heng said with a greeting.

"Your Highness has won the award, and as soon as the last general heard the news that His Highness was coming to Shuofang, he was so happy that he took his subordinates out of the city to greet His Highness."

Guo Ziyi is not only good at fighting, but also has no bad kung fu at all, which makes Li Xiang very useful in every word.

As soon as these words came out, the prince immediately smiled, and he also admired and trusted Guo Ziyi very much, and said: "General Guo, this palace is very glad that Datang still has a loyal general like you, and it is not a secret, so the purpose of this palace going north is to hope to form a resisting army with General Guo, recover the lost territory, exterminate the rebels, and return Datang to a peaceful and prosperous era!" ”

"From now on, the palace will rely on the general!"

is worthy of being the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Heng at this time does not have the slightest shelf of a prince, and is full of respect and trust for Guo Ziyi, which also makes Guo Ziyi very useful.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, from now on, I and my subordinates will all obey His Highness's dispatch and die with all our might!"

Guo Ziyi was not ambiguous, and immediately expressed his attitude.

"Haha...... Your Highness, General Guo, it's better for us to talk in detail in the capital, the brothers are already tired! ”

Cheng Ping'an saw that the two of them were endlessly pulling calves, and immediately suggested.

As soon as the words fell, Guo Ziyi said with a smile: "Haha...... This little brother is reasonable, Your Highness please! ”

After speaking, Guo Ziyi glanced at Cheng Ping'an and couldn't help but nod.

After entering the city, Guo Ziyi immediately entertained Li Heng according to the highest specifications, and specially vacated the Shuofang Jiedu Mansion for the prince to live in, not only that, but the soldiers who followed the prince to the soldiers were also properly arranged!

After a brief rest for a day, Li Heng hurriedly found Cheng Ping'an, Guo Ziyi and others to discuss how to go next.

After about a stick of incense, everyone is in place!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the main reason for calling you here today is to discuss how to form a rebel army, and I hope you can speak freely and not have any constraints!"

Li Heng glanced at everyone and asked very sincerely.

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Ping'an took the lead and was the first to stand up.

"Your Highness, the last general has an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"

Cheng Ping'an said.

"Become a general, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Li Heng waved his hand, signaling Cheng Ping'an not to be restrained and not to have any worries.

Hearing this, Cheng Ping'an said bluntly: "If today, the rebels have been torn apart, if today a monarch is urgently needed to rise up and command the three armies to jointly resist the rebels, the last general thinks, why not take this opportunity to inherit the throne, so it is also a legitimate command to the world!" ”

……

Cheng Ping'an's voice did not fall, but he was stopped by Li Heng's words: "Stop! ”

"General Cheng is not allowed to talk nonsense, my father is alive, how can this palace ascend the throne!"

"Don't say anything like that in the future!"

Although it was meant to be scolded, Li Xiang did not blame Cheng Ping'an, of course, this bit of cattiness could not escape the corner of Guo Ziyi's eyes, but he did not speak.

"Your Highness......"

Cheng Ping'an wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Heng: "General Cheng, if you don't have any good suggestions, you should retreat first!" ”
