In Bailipo, northwest of Chang'an, Li Guangbi packed up his defeated troops, most of whom had fled, looted grain and baggage, disrupted the place, and became a real robber robbing in broad daylight.

But there were still about 10,000 troops, and I heard that the emperor had fled here on horseback and gathered together.

In the First Battle of Chang'an, Li Longji, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops lost 100,000 people, except for those who fled, and about 50,000 people were absorbed by the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Tang Dynasty claimed to have 200,000 troops, but 100,000 were still under the control of Wolf Zhengxuan, although the soldiers were fine, but the number was not enough to dominate the world after all, and then the list was recruited to alleviate the current situation of relative emptiness after the occupation of Guanzhong.

This is the advantage of taking Chang'an first, which can deter the world politically, and is even richer economically. In the Tang Dynasty, when he was the envoy of the Lingnan Festival, although he looted a lot of gold and silver, compared with Chang'an, as the capital of a dynasty for nearly a hundred years, it was like a boat in the river.

……

"Your Majesty, I'll damn you, I'll frighten you!"

After reluctantly camping, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Ma Zhengzhang and others knelt down together and asked for Li Longji's forgiveness.

At this time, Li Longji, with the support of Gao Lishi, stood up tremblingly, he actually just woke up, but his expression was very calm: "Everyone, Aiqing, you fought to the death, so as to protect me from the encirclement, there is no merit, it is all great merit, after the rebellion is pacified, the merit will be rewarded." ”

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

The generals are waiting for this sentence, like Yang Jian and Li Yunkuang, who are waiting for this kind of opportunity for chaos in the world, and now they are caught up by themselves, and they are all happy.

"It's all flat, you, and you!"

Li Longji suddenly broke away from Gao Lishi's hand, pressed Guo Ziyi's shoulder with one hand, and Li Guangbi's shoulder with the other, and said solemnly: "You are all my ministers. ”

The two generals were so moved that they trembled a little with excitement.

Then, Li Longji faced the generals and pointed with his hand: "You are all my ministers of the society. ”

As a result, the faces of all the generals changed, and they were also excited and trembling.

The humerus and the sheji, that is the pillar of the imperial court, Li Longji is the most trustworthy, and the glory and wealth are naturally not a problem.

At this time, Li Longji, the pain of the broken arm still entered his senses, but he used the wide sleeves of his robe to hide this place of shame, and in such a difficult environment, he showed his ability to launch a change to seize the door and subvert Princess Taiping when he was young, treat people sincerely, and be calm when things happen.

He knew that now he only had 10,000 men under his command, and they were all weak soldiers, and it was impossible to counterattack on the spot, and the only way to find a place to stay was to find a place to stay.

And his generals' meeting this time was also in line with the meaning of the public opinion, I saw that after Li Long had done enough of these efforts, he sat back in the chair and changed his words: "I will wait for Chang'an to leave today, I must find a place to stay, you may as well express your opinions, when the time comes, as long as I stand on my feet and the soldiers of the world gather, An Lushan and the Tang Dynasty will be captured by me sooner or later." ”

"Your Majesty! According to the minister's opinion, Luoyang City was well defended, and it was Li Qi, the king of Sheng, who was defended, with tens of thousands of soldiers, which was enough to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty. "The one who spoke was the minister Wei Jian.

"No!" Yang Guozhong saw that this old man dared to steal his limelight, he was angry in his heart, and retorted: "Although the defense of Luoyang City is strong, but the big disadvantage is the land of Henan, a horse and Pingchuan, except for Hangu Pass, there is no dangerous pass to defend, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is enough to go down in one drum, just think, Chang'an's defense is better than Luoyang, who is superior and who is inferior?" ”

"Naturally, it's Chang'an." Wei Jianya didn't want to be an enemy of Yang Guozhong, knowing that this guy was inferior to Li Linfu, he was a real villain, and once he turned his face, it would be dangerous.

Of course, he knew that Tie Murong under his door was a powerful character, and he rushed to speak just now to occupy his own role, and he didn't want generals like Guo Ziyi to say that he said, "It's not okay to fight a war, and it's not okay to give advice." ”

Yang Guozhong's face showed joy: "It seems that this old guy still knows how to be measured, and he can't offend me, a minister who holds real power." ”

Li Longji sneered in his heart, this guy will win people over, you think I know about you, and I will settle accounts with this bastard later.

During this period of time, Li Longji rarely took care of government affairs in person, frequently met with Chang'an officials, and also heard a lot of rumors about Yang Guozhong, in addition to perverse actions and playing with power, what made Li Longji most angry was that this guy actually had an affair with several women he liked, such as Mrs. Qiuguo, Mrs. Han, and Mrs. Qin.

Grandma's, even my woman do you dare to touch? It took me a lot of effort to summon these three beauties to Chang'an, nominally to relieve Yang Yuhuan's boredom and make her feel a lot homesick, but I'm afraid everyone knows that since I like Yuhuan, then a few of her siblings are probably similar, at least, everyone in the world should know that these three beauties, except for their own legitimate husbands, the rest of the men, should only think about it, but can't do it.

I only heard Yang Guozhong say: "Luoyang is not good, it is not only the threat of the Tang Dynasty to us, but also the threat from An Lushan. In my opinion, although the Tang Dynasty can not be underestimated, but An Lushan is a big problem, he has 200,000 troops who can conquer the habitual war, accumulated for nearly ten years, once Ge Shuhan can not hold Tongguan, then Luoyang has become a place where the enemy is on the back of the enemy, so it is not appropriate for Luoyang to accompany the capital in wartime. ”

Yang Aiqing's words are very appropriate. In your opinion, where can you accompany the capital? ”

"Back to the emperor! In the land of Yizhou, there are tens of thousands of cattle monks and children leading tens of thousands of troops to guard Chengdu, which is the core place of Jiannan, where the terrain is dangerous, once there is an enemy to attack, then only need to cut off the plank road, even if there are millions of rebellions, it is also difficult to move an inch, it can be said that 'a husband is a pass, ten thousand people do not open. ’”

……

Next, Guo Ziyi advocated the capital of Xuzhou, because it was his old nest, and Li Guangbi meant the same, advocating the capital of Nanjing, returning to his hometown, and of course, there were some Wenchen, each expressing his own opinions and arguing.

Finally, the sound of the argument stopped, because everyone saw Li Longji's gesture, which was a sign that he had a definite conclusion in his heart.

"Guys, your suggestions are good. I also thought about it carefully, you can stay away from the Central Plains in wartime, after all, safety is the first thing, and I decided to go to Chengdu temporarily. ”

As soon as these words were said, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and other people from the main battle faction were immediately greatly disappointed, after all, asking these generals with strong martial arts to protect Li Longji to live in the remote ancient Chengdu was tantamount to depriving them of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Li Longji saw the faces of the ministers, and knew that these generals felt that they were too timid, and he regretted a little in his heart: Where is the vitality of my youth?

But Emperor Chrysostom Yinuo, since the words had already come out of his mouth, there was no reason to take them back, and his face couldn't help but show some embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

The person who spoke was Li Longji's crown prince Li Heng, the son of Concubine Wu Hui.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Go back to the emperor. Since Weichen is the crown prince, he should share the emperor's worries, and the emperor chose Chengdu as the accompanying capital, which is wise. However, at the moment, the thieves are raging, if there is no royal blood call, I am afraid that the dragons will be leaderless, and the sons have the courage to implore my father and the emperor to appoint me with military power, so as to control the soldiers and horses in the world, and change the chaotic status quo, so that the rebellion can be pacified as soon as possible, and the sea can be pacified. ”

Boy, I can't see it, but you're very clever, look at my old age, and I'm missing an arm, so you want to seize power now, don't you? Hmph, I, Li Longji, am not old and confused, you are so careful, I think I don't know, you want to get the military power first, stand on your heels, and then force me to abdicate.

Father and son have been together for more than 40 years, and he doesn't understand the mystery. Perhaps, this kid has been hoping that one day I will die of illness so that he can ascend the throne as emperor. It's no wonder that this kid is forty years old, and he hasn't had a day of emperor addiction, so it's inevitable that he can't wait, but don't forget, you are my Li Longji's son, I don't know how much ability you have?

But even though I think so, Li Longji still has a little worry in his heart, this kid has always been filial to me, and he never dared to disobey me half a step when doing things, I thought he was a cowardly character, but today, it seems that he is obviously not, is it, all kinds of appearances before, are they all pretending to show me?

But in this situation, Li Longji also had to agree to his request.

First, this requirement is reasonable, not to mention, but also to take a lot of risks, after all, fighting against the Tang Dynasty and An Lushan, once the army is defeated, it will be a situation where the jade is burned.

Second, it is reasonable to delegate power to his own crown prince. If I don't agree, all the generals will inevitably suspect that I, Li Longji, am narrow-minded, and with the current predicament, I may not even be able to save my own life. He doesn't know how An Lushan is, but he personally understood the means of occupying Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for his own life, there are good generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, I am afraid that he has already been captured by the Tang Dynasty.

Third, this kid chose the perfect time, he noticed that Guo Ziyi and others were unwilling to retreat in Chengdu with me and wanted to make contributions, so he made this request.

Boy, you are powerful, but you and I have been playing politics for nearly 50 years, will it still be planted in your hands?

After thinking about it like this, he immediately felt calm, and after a long silence before he said: "Originally, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses wanted someone who was both civil and military, and you were good at writing, but your martial arts were a little worse. However, at this very moment, only if you use the identity of the prince to call on the soldiers of the king of the world is the best policy, Li Heng listens to the seal! ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Li Heng was overjoyed and knelt down with an ordinary sound.

"I have named you the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and you must do your best to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible. When the time comes, once you succeed, I will pass on the throne to you, and I will be the emperor! ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Li Heng's tears almost welled up, in order to wait for this sentence, he waited for twenty years to seize Li Longji's emperor's throne, he didn't think about it, but finally chose to give up, after all, in front of Li Longji, he always had a sense of fear, and Li Longji didn't give him too many opportunities.
