In the blink of an eye, the army had been on its way for more than ten days.

Lingwu Palace.

"The emperor has arrived!"

With the bewitching voice of Li Fuguo, the head of the chamberlain, Li Xiang walked into the palace with a tired face under the support of Li Fuguo.

Don't think about it, thinking that it was because she had just left the court, and because she was too tired for several days, the queen saw this and hurriedly knelt down to take the car.

"The concubine kneels to greet Your Majesty!"

"Let's get flat!"

At this moment, Li Heng's face was sluggish, with three points of exhaustion and three points of haggardness, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.

Since Cheng Ping'an led the vanguard troops, Li Heng has not slept all night, sleepless all night, and sometimes has nightmares, especially last night, Li Heng actually dreamed that the rebel army had been wiped out, and the rebels of An Lushan went all the way north and killed Lingwu City, which frightened Li Heng to wake up directly from the broken dream.

The queen took over Li Fuguo's hand and carefully helped Li Heng to sit down on the soft couch.

Call!

Li Heng sighed abruptly, and his expression became extremely solemn at this moment. Li Fuguo wanted to retire, but seeing him with such a look, he felt a little relieved, and he didn't know what was going on in the battle ahead.

I don't know how long it took, Li Heng suddenly asked, "Li Fuguo!" ”

"The minions are here!"

When Li Fuguo heard this, he immediately replied slightly.

"Immediately send someone to wait on the city tower, and as soon as there is a battle report, return to me immediately, there must be no mistake!"

Li Heng dragged his tired body and ordered.

As soon as the words fell, Li Fuguo on the side said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minions have already been arranged, you can rest assured, there are minions here to help you guard it!" ”

Although tired, Li Heng didn't dare to slack off for a moment, this was his first battle after going north, if he failed, it would be a catastrophe, not only he Li Heng was done, but also the Tang Dynasty was afraid that it would be handed over.

Hearing this, Li Heng turned a deaf ear, knocked on the table with his right hand from time to time, and said to himself: "It stands to reason that there should have been a battle report a long time ago!" ”

Seeing this, the queen beside her knew what Li Heng was thinking, and persuaded her: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry, the road is blocked by the heavy rain for days, and the battle report is only afraid that it will be delayed halfway, which is also inevitable, maybe there will be a war report tomorrow!" ”

When Li Heng heard this, he first nodded, and then shook his head.

With his understanding of Cheng Ping'an, even if it rains heavily, he will not delay the battle report because of this, it must be because of some other reason.

After thinking about it, Li Heng was still not at ease, and set his eyes on Li Fuguo.

"Li Fuguo, can a messenger come these days?"

As soon as the words fell, a hurried announcement came from outside the palace.

"The messenger of Chang'an has arrived!"

"The messenger of Chang'an has arrived!"

Hearing this, Li Heng couldn't care about the exhaustion on his body, got up and shouted, "Spread quickly!" ”

The messenger was dressed in Xuanyi and Ming armor, his whole body was covered with mud, and after removing the sword on his body, he came to the palace out of breath, and was about to kneel and salute, Li Heng waved his hand to show that he was exempt from the courtesy, and could not wait to ask:

"Tell me, what's going on ahead?"

Rao was like this, and the messenger still knelt down and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, General Cheng has led a vanguard army of 10,000 yesterday to defeat the rebels on the periphery of Chang'an City, and will soon break through Chang'an City and recover Chang'an!" ”

Hearing the sound, Li Heng seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, resurrected with full blood, Huo Ran got up, and the joy was difficult to hide, just because this victory came too timely and too sudden, Rao is concentration and detachment, and he couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart.

"The message is correct?"

Li Heng continued to ask.

Hearing this, the messenger knelt down again and replied: "It is true! ”

"This is a battle report written by General Cheng himself, please take a look at it!"

As he spoke, the messenger took out something like a bamboo tube with difficulty, and then took out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube and presented it to the emperor.

As soon as the words fell, Li Heng hurriedly walked down and took the battle report from the messenger's hand.

Li Heng carefully read every word on the battle report, which was almost the same as what the messenger said, and Li Heng's face suddenly smiled, he had not been so happy for a long time.

"Good...... Good...... All right! ”

"General Cheng really lived up to my expectations, this battle was fought well, it played the majesty of our Tang Army, and even more so the momentum of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Li Fuguo, who was on the side, was proficient in the art of observing words and colors, and immediately knelt on the ground to congratulate him.

"Your Majesty, the minions think that as soon as Marshal Li Hao's army arrives, they will be able to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop, and the recovery of the two capitals is just around the corner!"

"yes...... I've already started to miss Chang'an City! ”

When Li Heng heard this, he also echoed the Tao.

At the same time, outside the city of Chang'an.

Cheng Ping'an since he took the outer defense line of Chang'an City, he is not in a hurry to attack the city, although he has annihilated a lot of rebels, but there are still the most elite troops of An Lushan in the city, plus Chang'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you forcibly attack the city, I am afraid it will be counterproductive.

After thinking about it again and again, Cheng Ping'an still decided to besiege Chang'an City without attacking it, and when the reinforcements arrived, he would take Chang'an City in one fell swoop.

The rebels took An Shouzhong as their commander, and led the 100,000 rebels to defend Chang'an City, and with the impregnable walls of Chang'an, they were indeed not worried at all.

Fifteen miles away from Chang'an City, two figures suddenly stood here.

These two are not others, that is, Cheng Ping'an and Liu Qingqing.

"Ping'an, the soldiers seem to be suspicious, why don't we storm the city in one go and capture the rebel leader An Lushan alive?" Liu Qingqing, like other soldiers, didn't understand why Cheng Ping'an chose to stop the attack when the morale of the soldiers was very high.

"You should also know the truth of poor Kou Mo chasing!"

"That's right, during this period of time, we did take a lot of advantage in the fight with the rebels, but it was all carried out when the rebels were defenseless, if it was done with real swords and guns, with our little manpower, we would definitely not be able to eat the 100,000 rebels in the city!"

Hearing this, Cheng Ping'an took the trouble to explain.

As smart as her, after listening to Ping'an's explanation, Liu Qingqing suddenly opened her mouth, and she had to admire Cheng Ping's wisdom.

If it is a change of people, I am afraid that it is time to attack Chang'an City at this moment.

"Hearing you say that, it seems that there is such a thing! But that's not what the soldiers think, don't you want to explain it to everyone? ”

Liu Qingqing said with a smile.

"No need, they'll understand!"

As a soldier, what you have to do is to obey orders and listen to commands, instead of blindly questioning the general's orders! So Cheng Ping'an will not explain.

After speaking, Cheng Ping'an's eyes looked at the brightly lit Chang'an City again, and his heart suddenly felt a lot of emotion, as a native of Chang'an, Cheng Ping'an wanted to recover Chang'an City more than anyone else at this moment.

But he can't use the lives of his soldiers to die in vain!
