Retracted his steps, and heard someone behind him ask, "Lin Yin, are you awake?" Turning his head, he found that it was Qin Chong, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Qin, where is General Feng?" Qin Chong said: "General Feng is over there, come with me." The two walked along the city wall for a while, and then saw Feng Changqing directing his subordinates over there and distributing various orders. Lin Yin went over and saw that Feng Changqing was busy and didn't speak, so he stood aside.

After a while, Feng Changqing stopped and took a breath, then he saw Lin Yin and said to him: "I worked hard for you the day before yesterday, and you did a good job." Lin Yin knew that he had been asleep for almost two days, and when he remembered the hard fight that day, he still had palpitations, and said: "There is nothing to belong to, just the brothers who went with me." Feng Changqing sighed: "Well, they are all my good brothers. Lin Yin was silent for a moment, and then asked: "General, the head brought back by his subordinates, but what about Cui Qianyou?" Feng Changqing smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "The information is wrong, that is the leader of the Qiang clan under An Lushan, the Tuan soldiers have always been brave and good at fighting, ruthless and cold-hearted, and easy to kill indiscriminately, hehe, you killed them is also a credit." Then he asked, "How many were there in the enemy camp that day?" Lin Yin thought for a moment and replied, "Almost three hundred enemy soldiers." ”

"How much? Three hundred? Feng Changqing was shocked, and said, "You tell me in detail about that day." Lin Yin will briefly describe how to pay with horses, rush into the enemy camp after igniting it, and then how a group of warriors kill the enemy. After listening, Feng Changqing sighed: "If it weren't for the current enemy, Luoyang City would not be in danger, I would play the emperor, at least ensure that you are a ranger general." Lin Yin smiled bitterly: "My subordinates didn't want to be generals, they just felt that the war was too terrifying." Because of the war, thousands of people have been displaced, and their families have been destroyed, which is too miserable. Feng Changqing and Lin Yin sighed in unison.

Lin Yin stayed by Feng Changqing's side for a short time, watching the ** on the battlefield under the city continue to decrease, and he felt indescribable in his heart. Thousands of lives, because of the thoughts of a few people, are like ants in the fire, and they are extinguished. Feng Changqing kept giving orders, racking his brains to recover the decline, but in the face of the huge difference in strength, he was powerless after all.

At the time of Shen, an adjutant covered in blood climbed up the city tower, knelt in front of Feng Changqing and said, "General, the enemy is too fierce for our brothers to resist. Feng Changqing was silent, and Qin Chong on the side also said: "General, my subordinates feel that Luoyang will be lost sooner or later, so why don't we gather the remnants, retreat to Tongguan, and then try to attack again?" When Feng Changqing set off from Chang'an, he swore to Xuanzong to state the strategy of breaking the enemy, and he was full of confidence. Now that he has been out of the army for less than a month, he will lose the eastern capital and retreat, which is a little difficult to accept for a while. The defeat was not Feng Changqing's fault, but he was the main general, and the responsibility on him was naturally the greatest. Therefore, Feng Changqing was silent for a long time, and under the repeated persuasion of his subordinates, he still wandered, turned around and asked Lin Yin, "What do you think?" Lin Yin didn't expect Feng Changqing to ask himself, he didn't know anything about marching and fighting, arranging troops, so he thought for a moment before saying: "My subordinates don't know anything about fighting, but there is a saying that 'stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood', if you really can't resist it, why don't you retreat first." Feng Changqing pondered for a long time before sighing under the persuasion of his subordinates: "Retreat, withdraw the troops, alas, the old man is a capital crime." Everyone saw Feng Changqing depressed and sad, and they were all related to each other, and they were doubly sad.

The generals went down the city wall to prepare to collect their troops and retreat, Feng Changqing said to Lin Yin beside him: "Xiaolin, I have worked hard for you, I just enlisted in the army and let you do such a dangerous thing." He smiled bitterly: "But this is the case with soldiers, especially in wartime, the head is always unstable, and after a long time of birth and death, it will naturally understand." ”

Lin Yin said: "My subordinates understand. Feng Changqing glanced at him and said, "If there are another hundred and eighty people like you, I can arrange a formation and take the leader of the rebel army directly." He also said: "Although I don't understand how you martial arts masters practice, but you are so young and so good at kung fu, it is very remarkable." Lin Yin smiled, and did not deny it, but suddenly remembered that his internal force could no longer function, and said gloomily: "When my subordinates fought against the Tuan soldiers the day before yesterday, I forced my true qi to be excessive, and my meridians were damaged, and now the martial arts on my body seem to have disappeared." "Huh? Why is this happening, and how can it be good? "Feng Changqing doesn't understand this. Lin Yin sighed: "Ren Du's second pulse was forcibly rushed away and suffered some damage, I don't know if it can be better." Feng Changqing shook his head and didn't speak again.

Luoyang has twelve gates on all sides, three gates in the east, and before he could retreat, he heard that the rebels had broken through the bottom east gate, Lin Yin listened to the noise of the thieves under the city, and was shocked, and hurriedly escorted Feng Changqing to the west of the city. The defenders in the city and on the city walls retreated one after another, and retreated with Feng Changqing. Soon, all three gates were broken, and the rebels had entered the city of Luoyang and fought with the defenders in the city. Feng Changqing retreated to Duting Station, Duting Station has the name of "the first post on the Silk Road", it is one of the central post stations in the country, there are dozens of pavilions and pavilions, and there is also Shanmen Square. After entering the Duting Station, Feng Changqing ordered people to count the people, but there were less than 10,000 people. Feng Changqing ordered people to guard the city gate, and soon the rebels arrived.

The rebels called for battle outside the gate of Dutingyi Mountain, and Feng Changqing only closed the door and did not come out. Seeing that the entire Duting Station was about to be surrounded by rebels, all the generals were panicked. Feng Changqing gathered his subordinate officers to discuss a plan to break through, and everyone talked about it, but there was no countermeasure.

Lin Yin has been following Feng Changqing before and after, although Feng Changqing is a festival envoy and a doctor of imperial history, he is already over sixty years old, with gray hair and a slightly rickety figure. Lin Yin saw that Feng Changqing was busy before and after, and worried, looking a few years older, and couldn't help but sigh bitterly: "A general is more difficult to do than an ordinary soldier, and it is better to go to the battlefield to fight." Thinking of this, he laughed at himself again, no wonder some people are generals, and some people can only be a soldier all the time, and they are naturally the latter.

Duting Yishan Gate is no better than Luoyang City Gate, and it will soon be breached, and Feng Changqing ordered soldiers to line up to prepare to meet the enemy. Soon the door broke, the sound of fighting started again, and the rebels and the remaining ** fought together. Feng Changqing was very close to the battlefield, and although Lin Yin's internal strength was not effective, he was still cautious to protect Feng Changqing's side.

Soon, the Tang soldiers were scattered, Feng Changqing gritted his teeth and retreated, the Tang soldiers were killed and wounded thousands, only to kill from the back door of the Duting Station, and then went to the east city of Luoyang, met the rebels who stayed here, fought again, and defeated again, the Tang soldiers were less than three thousand, and fled out of the city with Feng Changqing.

Out of Luoyang, the rebels still followed closely, and the Tang soldiers were in a hurry and unable to resist, so they had to flee all the way. It was not until the Matou Valley, the source of the valley water east of the Kushan Mountain, that it temporarily got rid of the pursuers. The total length of the valley water is less than 200 miles, passing through Mianchi, Xin'an, to Luoyang Huixiao River, flowing southeast into Luohe River, the water is shallow and slow, not enough to do it. As a last resort, after repairing, Feng Changqing decided to go west to Shaanxi County, and then retreat from Shaanxi County to Tongguan. Leaving the valley, Suo Xing had no pursuers, no one dared to relax, and went west without stopping.

At this moment, it was already dark, Feng Changqing led the remnants of the army to run for their lives, and Lin Yin on the side suddenly said: "General, there is a large group of people coming in front." Feng Changqing asked: "Is it the front and not the back?" Lin Yin listened carefully again and said, "It's indeed ahead." General Feng Changqing was suspicious: "If it is not for reinforcements, it should not be so fast." Just as he was suspicious, suddenly a large bright light faintly appeared in front of him, indicating that a large number of people and horses could raise fire. Feng Changqing didn't know whether the troops in front of him were friends or foes, so he had to order his subordinates to stop and prepare for battle. All the soldiers were exhausted, but they had to listen to orders to prepare for battle. Qin Chong on the side whispered to Lin Yin: "Brother Lin, the internal strength is so deep, I admire it." Lin Yin was stunned for a moment, secretly lucky, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the internal strength had fully recovered, and there was a slight increase. However, the second vein of Ren Du, which was once washed away, was finally closed again.

Soon, the other party stopped outside the Rich. It was dark and he couldn't see the banner clearly, so Lin Yin said to Feng Changqing: "General, let your subordinates go over and take a look." Feng Changqing nodded and said, "You go, be careful." Lin Yin also nodded, and then patted the horse and drove out.

Less than half a zhang away from the opponent's army, Lin Yin vaguely saw the word "Gao" written on their military flag, and thought that it was not Gao Xianzhi's team. Gao Xianzhi is Feng Changqing's old boss, and Feng Changqing also mentioned Gao Xianzhi to Lin Yin. Seeing this, he approached more than 100 zhang, and only then did he shout: "Is it Marshal Gao Xianzhi's people over there?" He shouted three times in a row, and the voice was very loud, passing through the mountains and clouds, and even the war horse under his crotch was frightened and stood up.

After waiting for a while, the other party shouted: "Our Marshal Gao is here, but the person opposite is General Feng Changqing?" More than 100 zhang away, the sound was almost inaudible. Hearing the response from the other side, Lin Yin replied: "We are General Feng's team, coming from Luoyang. Without waiting for the other party to respond, he hurried back and said to Feng Changqing: "General, the opposite side is Marshal Gao Xianzhi Gao." Feng Changqing was overjoyed and asked again, "Can you see clearly?" Lin Yin said: "When the subordinates saw the other party's flag, they also responded that it was Marshal Gao's soldiers and horses after shouting. Feng Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "Alas, even if there are rebels on the other side, they have to go over. Then he ordered his troops to advance. But he said that Gao Xianzhi's troops over there were also slowly coming to Feng Changqing's side.

The distance between Li Xu and the meeting was instantaneous, and when he saw the leader of the other party, the old Feng Changqing jumped off his horse, knelt down and saluted to the leader on the opposite side: "The last general Feng Changqing, see Marshal Gao." "That leader is Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing is not under the jurisdiction of Gao Xianzhi, but he used to be Gao Xianzhi's subordinate, and now Gao Xianzhi is the Duke of Miyun County, and his title is higher than Feng Changqing, so Feng Changqing gave his subordinates a gift when they met.

Lin Yin glanced at Gao Xianzhi, Gao Xianzhi looked even younger than Feng Changqing. Gao Xianzhi has a handsome figure, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like cold stars, and he is actually very handsome. Lin Yin thought: "Brother Ren, Li Zhu'er, Qin Chong, and this Marshal Gao are all extremely good-looking people, why are I so ordinary?" "There is some injustice in my heart. Gao Xianzhi is amazingly talented, a young man, when he was more than 20 years old, he has been worshiped as a general, and has spent most of his life in the war, and now he is the deputy capital of Anxi, the general of the right Yulin, the commander of the four towns, and the prince of Miyun County.
