An Lushan immediately counted the generals one by one, and in addition to the threat, he did not forget to reward the loyalty of these people, saying that they were different from the nine ** who died on the ground, because they dared to fight hard.

Just when An Lushan's temperament gradually calmed down and was about to go back to the tent to fight with the strange woman of the Central Plains who had just "fallen off the horse", Sun Xiaozhe came in with a sad face.

As soon as he came in, he knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, Weichen should die!" The enemy was careless, and as a result, the vanguard failed, and I begged the emperor to kill me! ”

Only then did the generals see that this kid had been tied up, and he also carried a thorn strip on his back, hehe, it seems that he was afraid of death and came to bear the guilt of thorn.

"You? Haha, you are a victorious general, who will defeat you, how capable are you? Lao Tzu told you to set up defenses in Taohe, did you tell you to cause trouble? ”

I don't know what kind of flash An Lushan had, and suddenly he came to Sun Xiaozhe, pointed at his nose, and scolded.

At this time, he didn't have a trace of the emperor's demeanor at all, and his face was blood-red, like a butcher.

"Weichen damn it! It's that I didn't listen to Your Majesty, I attacked rashly, the forward and the rear troops were too far apart, and Guo Ziyi's gang used a blitzkrieg to encircle and annihilate the Xianhongdu Division, I should die, please kill me! ”

"Okay, I'll fulfill your wish, come on, drag me out,......"

"The Emperor's ......"

Sun Xiaozhe screamed hoarsely, and hugged An Lushan's feet: "Your Majesty, if you kill me, no one will pour urine for you, if you kill me, the next time Tie Murong comes to assassinate again, there will be no such good luck, if you kill me, my eighty-year-old mother will have no one to take care of it...... Woohoo......"

Seeing this, Shi Siming and the others knelt down again, kneeling in a pool of blood killed by the nine generals: "Please be gracious, let General Sun go, and let him make meritorious service with his crimes." ”

Sun Xiaozhe's martial arts are only the peak of dark energy, although the ability to command is good, because of his young qualifications, in fact, he is still under Tian Chengsi, Cui Youqian, Tian Qianzhen, Hua Mingqing, and these people, it is not enough to command the cavalry of 30,000 people under An Lushan, which can be called the most elite cavalry in the Central Plains, but An Lushan trusts him, because he can be regarded as his disciple, his dead soldier, although his martial arts have not reached the realm, but his mind is flexible, good at arranging formations, and he has never made mistakes in handling things. And he is very well-behaved and good at befriending generals from all walks of life, so he finally obtained the command of this 30,000-strong iron horse.

At the beginning, he broke Luoyang, captured Li Qi, the king of Sheng, and made the first contribution to An Lushan's claim to be the emperor in Luoyang, known as the undefeated general, and chased Li Longji and his son to flee in all directions.

You must know that when the Tang Dynasty broke Chang'an, Sun Xiaozhe was not idle, but wanted to directly seize Li Longji and his son, end the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and then compete with the Tang Dynasty for the world, naturally he could not let go of Li Longji and his son.

"Hey, bunny! I thought I was invincible in the world, so I was proud and self-righteous, but what happened now, how many of the 30,000 iron horsemen I gave you are left? ”

"Back to Your Majesty! Weichen was careless for a while, and then fell into Guo Ziyi's calculation, but Weichen then led the army to cross the Yellow River, attacked Lingwu, and fought a big battle with Li Heng, killed him 30,000 horses, and avenged the brothers, however, counting the 3,000 dead and wounded in Xianhongdu, our department lost 9,437 soldiers, Xianhongdu surrendered, and damaged 3,944 war horses, please rest assured, if you give me a chance, I will definitely make meritorious contributions. ”

An Lushan snorted: "Xianhongdu is this miscellaneous!" If you dare to betray me, you go and arrest him back, and I will stack him with my own hands. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." My heart rejoiced, and even my voice trembled. Of course, he had already heard that An Lushan already had the intention of sparing his life.

"Flat! Stinky boy, count on you still have a little seed! I thought that if 3,000 people died, you were afraid of Guo Ziyi and didn't dare to attack Li Heng, a turtle with a shrunken head? ”

"Your Majesty." Sun Xiaozhe stood up with great joy, "Weichen didn't dare to forget the big ...... for a moment His Majesty's teachings are that even if you die, you must also move forward, so you have a big battle outside Lingwu City. Swallowed the word "handsome" stiffly.

"Hehe, stinky boy. I know I can't be wrong about you. It's ridiculous that Li Heng, a coward, preached everywhere that they had won a great victory, a great victory, and the result was that we had less than 10,000 casualties at more than three times the price. Actually, it's us who wins, and we're the winners, don't you say? ”

The big "Yan" ministers shouted: "Yes! ”

"Good, good. After you go back, quickly select the elite from our army, enrich your cavalry ranks, be sure to maintain the combat effectiveness of 30,000 people, and garrison Taohe again, and not let Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi copy our back road, and at the same time echo with the defenders of Luoyang, and respond at any time, understand? ”

"Understood, Your Majesty."

……

In the Lingwu Army, after the celebration banquet, Li Henggao sat in the military tent.

"Where is Guo Ziyi?"

"The end is coming."

"You immediately lead 100,000 people through Hebei, and you must occupy its land as soon as possible, and gather the materials, soldiers and horses in various states and counties together, and wait for the call."

"Where is Li Guangbi?"

"The end will be."

"You take 100,000 elite soldiers under your command and immediately pass through the east ...... of the river"

"Where is Gao Xianzhi?"

"The end will be."

"You lead an army of 100,000 to quickly reinforce Brother Shuhan in Tongguan, and join forces with him inside and outside, and first remove Shi Siming's threat."

"Yes, the last will obey."

Although Gao Xianzhi screamed loudly, it was really not a good feeling in his heart: You let me fight these tough battles, but let your subordinates Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi go to grab land and reap endless benefits? Moreover, An Lushan's army, how could it be so easy to provoke?

In fact, he felt that his situation was not as good as that of Ge Shuhan, who was cowering in Tongguan. After all, this guy has a strong city to defend, and now he is not only short of food and grass, but also has to face the countless brave troops under An Lushan.

He has been in charge of Anxi for many years, and he can't be more clear about An Lushan's bottom line, the soldiers are elite and well-equipped, not to mention, the generals under him, Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Tian Chenghe, which one of them is not a battle-hardened and incomparable role?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general has another request."

When Li Heng assigned his subordinates Yu Chaoen, Bu Gu Huaien, and Wang Sili one by one to complete the task, Gao Xianzhi spoke again.

"General Gao, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Heng has always had a sense of awe for this famous general who dominates the world, and his son Li Longji has repeatedly warned him before that he should be polite to this general, even the courtesy of his father. However, of course, Li Heng would not be stupid enough to really respect Gao Xianzhi as his father, but he was indeed the most thoughtful in all aspects of etiquette.

It can be said that among all the generals under him, he is the person most respected by Li Heng on face.

"Back to the Prince. I went to the rescue of General Ge Shuhan, and the prince also issued an order to him to counterattack, but with my understanding of Ge Shuhan, he is not a general who likes to attack, and the old minister has a suggestion, whether it is possible to let the emperor issue an edict and order a counteroffensive as soon as possible, so that our army can avoid the danger of going deep alone, and the siege of Tongguan has been lifted. ”

Li Heng was taken aback. This old fox really didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, after all, this is a matter of life and death, Shi Siming, Cai Xide, and Tian Chengsi are extremely brave, even if Guo Ziyi is sent, he may not be able to succeed, so he simply fulfilled him, so he did not have the worry of falling into a siege.

Hum! Li Heng thought in his heart, this guy doesn't seem to be my person all the way, when has it been, and he can't recognize the situation clearly. Looking at his appearance, he felt that his father would not pass on the throne to me, so at this time, he was willing to give his life if his father issued some bullshit edict. Hmph, there will be good fruit for you to eat in the future.

But now is the time to employ people, and he can only think about these words in his stomach, and he does not say them.

……

In this way, Li Longji once again exercised his power as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at Jianmen Pass, and issued an edict to Ge Shuhan, who was far away in Tongguan, to go to war!

Now the Tang Dynasty annexed Yangping Pass, looked at Luoyang, and detained ships everywhere, wanting to strengthen the Yellow River and An Lushan to compete for the world; And the battle of Lingwu greatly boosted the morale of the Li family, and even the most elite troops of An Lushan could be defeated, not to mention others. Now the arrival of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing has also made the Li family's army rapidly expand to 500,000 people, and the hope of reorganizing the rivers and mountains has once again appeared in Li Longji's mind.

He quickly sent the decree to Goshuhan.

After receiving Li Longji's holy decree, Gao Xianzhi immediately led his 100,000 troops to Tongguan.

Along the way, Gao Xianzhi ordered the troops to move slowly, and the speed of the march could actually be described as the crawling of a snail. His son Gao Mingyang was very puzzled: "Father is handsome." We have fought vigorously and resolutely, and there is no army in the world that we cannot defeat, so why is my father delaying? ”

"Idiot! Who am I? I am a big threat in the eyes of Li Longji, if I win, even if his father and son don't want my head, I will help him train like Guo Ziyi. Lao Tzu has made so many contributions to them, when he led his troops to the Russian principality and the Danube Valley, and robbed them of countless treasures and beauties, do you see how their father and son dealt with me? is to ask me to touch Shi Siming. It's just someone else, but we don't know the details of this guy yet, he is strong in martial arts, treacherous like a ghost, and he has more than 200,000 troops under his command, all of them are elites, and the court equipped them with a large amount of military pay back then; As for us, there are only 100,000 people, and only 30,000 are the elite soldiers we have trained, and the rest are rabble. My equipment is far inferior to the enemy, my soldiers are even worse, and even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I will not be able to win this battle. Li Heng, this kid, was carried away by a small victory. And the suspicion is very heavy, Guo Ziyi is capable, the battle of Taohe almost killed his elite, and now it's my turn. ”

Gao Xianzhi's words, although his voice was not loud, only a few of his sons' cronies heard it.

"No wonder, no wonder my father marched so slowly, it turned out to be delaying time."

"Not bad! With the current strength of our side, it is too early to launch a counteroffensive. If I go to save it recklessly, it is me who dies, and I will not do such a thing. If Ge Shuhan, who guards Tongguan, is smart, he should guard the pass tightly, don't come out to retreat from the enemy, and spend two or three years on him, how can An Lushan be undefeated. ”

Men bow.

……

At this time, the mule convoy heading to Tongguan had already arrived at Tongguan, and the man in Tsing Yi led by him waved his hand to stop the riot of his convoy. For at this very moment a great army had come up against them.
