Li Longji sighed and said gloomily: "Heavenly Master, don't say it, it's my mistake, in the past few decades, I have been obsessed with the false prosperity woven by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong without knowing it, and I have turned a blind eye to and indifferent to the sufferings of the people outside Chang'an, and the people of Hebei Province and even Shandong Province have gradually become resentful, resulting in today's disaster." ”

"That's not it, the people of Hebei actually still support you." Lu Tianshi, "It's just that Hebei has not experienced the disaster of swords and soldiers for nearly a hundred years, so the people are not psychologically prepared for this rebellion at all, and the people have been peaceful for a long time and no longer know how to deal with the rebellion, so there will be such a passive situation." ”

"But this is only temporary, and the people of Hebei will soon rise up to fight back against the rebels."

"What's more, the rebels' combat effectiveness will not always remain at its peak."

"As long as the rebels can be stopped in Tongguan, at most about a year, the rebels will break out into infighting."

Speaking of this, Lu Tianshi said: "An Lushan relied on interests to gather the rebels in the three towns, but once the Tong Pass could not be broken for a long time, An Lushan's promise could not be fulfilled, and after a long time, those rebel generals under him, especially the Hu rebel generals such as Khitan, Murwei and Xi, will inevitably be resentful. ”

"A year or so?" Li Longji said worriedly, "Can Ge Shuhan keep it for a year?" There are less than 50,000 elite soldiers left in the three towns of Heshuo Longyou, and the morale of the army is weak, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it. ”

Lu Tianshi snorted: "Li Longji, you trusted Brother Shuhan so much before, but now you have only suffered a defeat, and you have no confidence in him, this is not the performance that a superior person should have, or are you really old and mediocre to the point that you have even lost your basic judgment?" Don't use suspicious people, have you forgotten the truth of employing people without doubt? ”

Li Longji's face showed embarrassment, but Gao Lishi next to him was secretly happy when he heard this.

In recent years, Li Longji has indeed been old and mediocre beyond imagination, Li Linfu is no more, even a market person like Yang Guozhong can be in a high position on the right, this is something that the master can do?

It's just that Lu Tianshi dared to say this, and if it was replaced by someone else's nine heads, it would not be enough for a saint to cut off.

With a wry smile, Li Longji defended: "It's not that I don't believe in Ge Shuhan, Ge Shuhan can still fight a war, but the elite soldiers of the three towns of Longyou Heshuo have suffered serious losses in Zhiyang, and it is too late to transfer troops from Anxi and Beiting, and it is difficult to block the onslaught of the rebels with less than 50,000 remnants in Tongguan alone." ”

"Tongguan is dangerous, and Ge Shuhan is good at fighting, so you can rest assured." Lu Tianshi said.

Li Longji was still not at ease, and said: "Lu Tianshi, why don't you borrow troops from Hui to quell the rebellion?" ”

"Borrowing troops to quell the rebellion?" Lu Tianshi said, "If this Heavenly Master does not have a lower realm, the crown prince Li Heng will also borrow troops from Hui Su to quell the rebellion after Lingwu ascends the throne and becomes emperor." ”

"Did the prince even borrow troops from Hui Hui?" Li Longji was a little stunned, but he was relieved, "Hui is good at fighting, if you can get Hui Hui's full help, defeating the rebels will definitely be a problem." ”

"You're thinking too much." Lu Tianshi said suddenly, "The Hui people are not fools, how can they serve as cannon fodder for nothing?" ”

"Huh?" Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "I have always been good at returning to Hui, and when the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, Huifu is unwilling to send troops to help?" ”

"Sending troops is still sending troops, after all, the Hui people have admired the Celestial Empire of the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their bones." Lu Tianshi said, "It's just that only 4,000 cavalry were sent, and extremely excessive conditions were put forward. ”

Li Longji asked: "But I don't know, what excessive conditions did the Hui people put forward?" ”

Lu Tianshi said angrily: "The Hui people actually made a request, after the recovery of Chang'an and Luoyang, the city and land will be returned to the Tang Dynasty, but the women and goods in the city will be returned to the Hui. ”

"What?" Li Longji said angrily, "The prince actually agreed? ”

"Yes, Li Heng actually agreed." Lu Tianshi snorted, "But Chang'an was saved, but Luoyang was not saved, and was burned and plundered by the Hui cavalry, and then Shi Siming rebelled again, and your grandson Li Yu borrowed troops from the Hui to quell the rebellion, and then Luoyang was sacked by the Hui cavalry again, causing a hundred miles of people to be cut off." ”

"These beards are really hateful!" Li Longji was so angry that his face turned pale.

Lu Tianshi said: "Your Li Tang, like the previous dynasty, has failed in its policy of treating the Hu people, in fact, you should not adopt a policy of fetters for the Hu people, but a policy of assimilation. ”

"Adopt a policy of assimilation?" Li Longji humbly asked for advice, "How to assimilate?" ”

"This is not something to be discussed today." Lu Tianshi cut back to the Anshi Rebellion, "The top priority is to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, if you don't want the tragedy to happen again, you must not flee Chang'an." ”

As soon as he mentioned this question, Li Longji immediately became hesitant again.

In a word, Li Longji really felt that Chang'an couldn't hold it, and staying in Chang'an could only lead to a dead end.

Lu Tianshi is an immortal, he has come and gone without a trace, so he is naturally not afraid of the rebels entering Chang'an, but he Li Longji can't.

Thinking of this, Li Longji suddenly knelt on the ground with a puff, and pleaded again and again: "Please ask the Heavenly Master to give me the art of immortality, as long as the Heavenly Master gives me the art of immortality, I will definitely live and die with the people of Chang'an." ”

Good guy, you actually chose to blackmail Lu Tianshi at this time.

Lu Tianshi is also completely disappointed in Li Longji, the current Li Longji is no longer the Li Longji before the age of fifty, the current Li Longji is an old and frail, insatiable and greedy old man who is afraid of death, and he is no longer the Li Sanlang who is in his prime, high-spirited and ambitious, and Datang can no longer count on him.

So Lu Tianshi directly changed the exhortation to a threat, and said in a deep voice: "Li Longji, everything that should be said has been said in this seat, if you listen to persuasion, it is the best, if you don't listen, don't blame this seat for starting a new stove." ”

"What does the Heavenly Master mean by this?" Li Longji's heart jumped.

Lu Tianshi said coldly: "Don't forget, you have more than 20 princes and more than 70 emperors, if you don't want to be a Tang saint, just flee to Shu alone." ”

Li Longji immediately froze there, Lu Tianshi is going to be abolished?

Gao Lishi hurriedly crossed his hands and sang: "Lu Tianshi, the saint actually has no intention of fleeing to Shudi. ”

"It's best not to have this thought, in short, Li Longji, you can do it yourself." After Lu Tianshi finished speaking, he said, "In addition, you can't worry about the lack of troops, this Heavenly Master has already informed Li Siye with the technique of transmitting sound for thousands of miles, and within three months at the fastest, and within half a year at the slow, Li Siye can lead the 200,000 Tubo army to Chang'an." ”

"What? 200,000 Tibetan troops? Li Longji was shocked when he heard this, "Where did the 200,000 Tubo army come from?" ”

Lu Tianshi said: "Since this Heavenly Master has long known about the Anshi Rebellion, how can he not have a countermeasure? This 200,000 Tibetan army is the killer weapon prepared by this Heavenly Master for the Anshi Rebellion, understand? ”

Li Longji waved his hand again and again and said, "Qi Lu Tianshi, this matter must not be allowed. ”

"What, are you worried that the Tubo army will sack Chang'an like the Hui army?" Lu Tianshi said, "Don't worry, the Tubo army and the Hui army are not the same thing at all, this Tianshi can tell you responsibly that the Tubo army will never harm any poor people in Chang'an City or even the land of Guanzhong." ”

As for those high-ranking families, it's hard to say.

If they are willing to provide money and food, it is okay to say.

If you don't pull out a hairy like an iron rooster, then you can only say sorry.

Of course, you can't say these things to Li Longji, because there is no need.

As long as the 200,000 Tibetan army arrived outside Chang'an City, everything could not be left to Li Longji.

Li Longji still wanted to dissuade him, but he shouted several times, but he didn't get a response, obviously, Lu Tianshi had really left the Calyx Tower.

Now Li Longji also ran out of ideas.

Do you want to escape from Chang'an?

In the end, it was a war report from Hedong that finally made Li Longji make up his mind.

The Shuofang Town Division led by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi won several battles in Hedong in a row, causing Shi Siming's rebel division to retreat one after another, and the entire Hedong was recovered.

After the recovery of Hedong Province, the tide of the battle on the northern front was reversed overnight.

Chang'an not only exempted the worries of the north, but even the rebel rat Yuyang was exposed to the troops of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's division, and now the rebels have become difficult to take care of.
