Lan Lan put her hands together, "I didn't say anything, don't think about it, maybe those ministers are really confused, let Zhao Liang be in charge of the army." ”

The girl in red frowned and looked at Lan Lan, "Your... The Adam's apple is split. ”

"What!"

Lan Lan immediately touched her Adam's apple, found that she was safe and sound, and directly pinched the cheek of the girl in red, "Okay, you, you actually dare to tease my son and find a kiss!" ”

Evening.

A luxury fast horse drove into the capital at a high speed, running non-stop all the way, and attacked the palace.

Knock knock.

When they came to the door, the horse fell, and the messenger fell heavily to the ground, and immediately took out a letter from his bosom, "Quick..."

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier tilted his head and lost his breath in an instant.

The guards immediately took the letter and ran to the palace, and no one dared to stop them all the way.

A thousand miles of urgency, 500 kilometers on a post station, the soldiers constantly change horses and ride, eat and drink are on horses, and the things sent must be 100,000 urgent.

Whoever dares to stand in the way will die.

Soon, this letter reached the Taihe Palace, and reached the hands of Emperor Qianqing and the eight great officials.

After opening the letter and checking it for a while, Emperor Qianqing's body shook and sat heavily on the throne.

An Lushan asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

Emperor Qianqing trembled his hands and handed over the letter, "The Xihan Gate is broken. ”

Bang.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it was quiet in fright, and the eight adults were even more speechless.

The letters passed around in the hands of the eight, each with a solemn look on their faces.

In less than three days, the Xihanmen Pass, which has a natural danger, was lost, so how long can Lanzhou hold on?

The King of the Northern Han is so powerful, who will be his opponent as the general of the entire Great Qian?

Knock knock.

After being silent for a while, An Lushan directly knelt down and hugged his fists, "Your Majesty, please immediately issue an order to make Zhang Wu the marshal of Lanzhou, and dispatch all the soldiers and horses in Lanzhou, so as to block the iron cavalry of the King of Northern Han and guard the gate of Lanzhou." ”

Emperor Qianqing didn't answer, but frowned slightly, "Right Squire, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Wu does have the ability to command troops, and he is indeed above Zhao Liang, but he is too young, he will definitely not put the barbarians in his eyes, if he is allowed to command the troops, then he will definitely dare to send troops and fight with the barbarian iron horse."

Liu Yu frowned and continued to tell, "And the Northern Han King attacked the Xihan Gate Pass, it was sold Yuebu Zhong, Zhao Liang should be able to prevent it, as long as this is not done, then attacking Lanzhou is a tough battle, the barbarians are good at riding horses, but they are not good at attacking cities." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right."

Emperor Qianqing somewhat agreed, "Now Zhao Liang is indeed more suitable than Zhang Wu to hold Lanzhou." ”

Of course, there is another point, he didn't bring it up, that is, he was very uneasy about Zhang Wu, worried that he would ignore the appeasement of his mother and sister and rebel directly after leading the troops.

"Your Majesty!!"

Hearing these words, An Lushan shouted directly, "Do you understand that the Xihan Gate is broken, and the King of the Northern Han will definitely move eastward, and no one will dare to stop him at that time, all the way to the capital, and now it is the time of life and death, and you still put the fate of the great cadres in the hands of a gentleman, are you worthy of the ancestors and ancestors." ”

Tsuto Bushi immediately scolded, "An Lushan, you are so bold, you dare to yell at Your Majesty, this is a great rebellion, and the crime deserves death." ”

Emperor Qianqing also frowned and looked at An Lushan.

"Your Majesty wants me to die, why do I want this head."

An Lushan gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty, now it is the time of life and death of the great Qian, I can't look back and forth, I am willing to guarantee the life of the whole family, he absolutely cannot have two hearts, and please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to make him the commander of Lanzhou, command the Lanzhou army, and block the eastward advance of the King of Northern Han, if Your Majesty does not agree, it is useless for the old minister to continue to speak, he is no longer qualified to be an official in the imperial court, and he is willing to resign and retire." ”

As soon as the words fell, An Lushan directly took off the black gauze hat on his head, with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, if you don't need a young marshal in this battle, we are willing to resign and retire."

The ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites also took off their hats one after another.

I'm really tired, I don't need to use a good strategy, I have to play any trade-offs, such a country is in the hands of His Majesty, and it will inevitably die.

"Your Majesty."

The minister of the minister, who had not spoken for a long time, also spoke at this time, "The minister thinks that this battle must start the young marshal, although Zhao Liang is a general, but he has not fought a few big battles, and his experience is not as good as Liu Hatgang, it is not enough to take on this heavy responsibility, and the young marshal has experienced a hundred battles, Lanzhou is unmatched, his heart is broad-minded, the minister has seen it, and the minister is willing to vouch for it." ”

"Aiqing sees him the same way?"

Emperor Qianqing frowned tightly and looked at the ministers who were admonishing, "Okay, I will give him a chance and appoint him as the commander of Lanzhou, leading the soldiers and officials of Lanzhou, and resisting the army of 80,000 barbarians of the King of Northern Han." ”

"Your Majesty."

An Lushan's three old ministers burst into tears.

The young marshal is in charge of the troops, and he can finally launch an attack on the barbarians.

And the right attendant, Liu Yu, their faces became ugly.

A few days later.

Mu Shaoyou and Zhang Wu took a group of people and pushed three stone bullet carts to the imperial envoy's mansion, wanting to discuss with Zhao Liang and install the stone cart on the city wall to add a little strength to defend the city.

The army led by the King of Northern Han was stationed in the west of Lanzhou City, and it had been attacking the city for two or three days.

The siege was even more ferocious than at Xihanmen Pass, using a large number of rushing carts, ladders and catapults.

The soldiers defending the city have already suffered more than 1,000 dead and wounded, and their morale is extremely low.

Mu Shaoyou and Zhang Wu, who stayed behind to help, had no way to go up to the city wall because they couldn't get Zhao Liang's warrant.

Finally, the two couldn't help it, so they pushed the stone cart into the mansion, wanting to give Zhao Liang a good demonstration and install it on the city wall.

But when the two walked in, they were instantly stupefied by the scene in front of them.

I saw the figures with heads and faces in the city, one by one, with domestic servants, carrying all kinds of chests full of gold and silver.

"Don't be in a hurry, come one by one."

"You all know the rules, a man who leaves the city will ask for a hundred taels of gold, and only gold will be accepted."

"Put down the gold, go inside, someone will issue a certificate, and you can leave after you get it."

The officers and men shouted and shouted, and there was no cover at all.

Zhang Wu clenched his fists tightly, "Mom, I asked him to close the city because I wanted him to gather everyone's strength to resist the barbarians, but I didn't expect him to use this excuse to reap the financial reports and make a fortune in the country, this is really a rat, damn it, damn it." ”

"Uh..."

Mu Shaoyou was speechless, not knowing how to speak, and compassion continued to arise in his heart.
