Li Ye was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Yunhe to make such a proposal and let the young master order him to be a guard at the same time, this pomp seemed too big.

But soon he understood that Penglai Daomen had no choice, and bowing to him was the only way out.

It's just that Li Ye is still not sure whether Penglai has given up the idea of supporting puppets, and instead continues the thousand-year-old tradition and supports the princes to fight for hegemony in the world.

At the moment, Penglai Daomen wants to express a certain attitude, so send the big priest over, and have the big young commander to join forces, at least protect themselves, don't worry too much about Li Ye harming them, so that Penglai will not have any loss, if you send ordinary disciples over, I am afraid that it will be digested by the Tsing Yi Yamen, on the contrary, the big young priest has good combat power, and the help to Li Ye will not be small, Li Ye may not accept Penglai's love.

Thinking of this, Li Ye smiled and said: "Since Penglai is so loving, it is disrespectful. ”

Zhang Yunhe was overjoyed: "Since His Highness agrees, then this matter is so decided." ”

It's October.

On this morning, Li Ye was still on the board of directors of the political affairs hall, and Song Jiao hurriedly entered the door, handed him a copy of the latest line report, and said solemnly: "Huang Chao distributed letters along the way, warning the various feudal towns, saying that he intended to attack Guanzhong, and undoubtedly attack the prefecture and county towns, let them guard the fortress, and do not go out of the city to face the battle. Now that the rebel army is heading towards Henan, it is likely to attack Ruzhou and threaten Luoyang. ”

Li Ye took the wire report, read it for a while, put it down, and said in a deep voice: "After the chaotic army went north this time, it changed the style of plundering Zhou County in the past, and it was just to drive Zhuangding into the army. The officials of all towns and states put the belongings of the labor army outside the city early and piled them up for the rebellious army to use. And after Huang Chao got these supplies, he did not attack the county and county seats. It's just that in this way, the hinterland of the Central Plains is tantamount to being undefended. ”

Song Jiao said coldly: "The imperial court set up a feudal town in the Central Plains, originally to serve as a barrier to defend Guanzhong, but now that the feudal town is not out, the feudal town is useless!"

Li Ye put his hand on the desk, his fingers tapped on the table, and thought: "In recent years, the Central Plains has been plagued by frequent wars, coupled with the lack of compassion for the people in the feudal towns, and the number of displaced people is increasing day by day, and now they are all coerced by the Yellow Nest. The feudal towns in the Central Plains originally obeyed the orders of the imperial court to go to war, but for several years, the rewards and punishments of the imperial court were unknown, and the traitorous ministers were in charge, and the conflicts of interests never stopped. ”

"The chaotic army is fighting more and more, and after Gao Yu was calculated by Huang Chao and the main force was lost, the momentum of Huang Chao was unstoppable. Displaced people and thieves from all over the world have joined the rebellious army, and now there are nearly a million people, at this time, who is still willing to listen to the orders of the imperial court, and who still has the ability to resist the rebellious army?"

Song Jiao gritted her teeth and said: "Some time ago, Huang Chao attacked Xiangyang and was defeated by Liu Jurong, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, with seven or eight out of ten casualties. It was a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue, but Liu Jurong said, 'The country is capricious, and when the war is urgent, they will seal the officials at will, and if they are a little more peaceful, they will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and sometimes they will be punished, it is better to let the thieves flee, maybe we will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future'. The great dynasty is not without capable people and brave generals, but they are all like Liu Jurong, who have lost the spirit of loyalty to the imperial court!"

Li Ye shook his head and sighed: "This kind of thing, in the years that Huang Chao has raised troops, there have been countless times, if the top and bottom work together, Huang Chao would have been wiped out countless times." ”

Speaking of this, Li Ye's eyes sharpened a little: "Issue a conscription order, 100,000 soldiers of the Pinglu New Army are ready to rush to the battlefield;

Song Jiao's eyebrows were awe-inspiring, and she retreated as promised.

Chang'an, Hanyuan Palace.

After Li Yangao lived in the imperial case, he looked down coldly at the people in the hall, fell to the ground, and the imperial case was also overturned, Tian Lingzi, Lu Yan and others lay in the hall and did not dare to move.

I don't know how long it took, the anger on Li Yan's face dissipated, and horror crawled all over every trace of flesh, and his voice was trembling: "From the first year of Qianfu to the first year of Guangming, it has been seven years...... Now the thieves have millions of people and have captured Luoyang...... What should I do? What should I do!Last time, Huang Chao asked to be recruited, and I wanted to be a festival envoy, and I felt that I could, who didn't agree, who was it?!"

The crowd did not dare to speak out.

"Come on, drag Lu Yan down to me and behead him! This rebellious minister who misleads the country and the people has harmed my country, and I want to destroy your nine clans!" Li Yan suddenly roared irritably.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, wronged!" Lu Yan cried and was dragged out.

"Your Majesty......" Tian Lingzi wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Li Yan: "You shut up for me, you are also a rice bucket!" I have already said that let Brother Ye come back to preside over the overall situation, you won't do it! Now it's okay, even the eastern capital Luoyang has been breached, and Chang'an can stay for a few days?!"

"Your Majesty......" Tian Lingzi's face was flushed, since the governor has come to this, it is useless to quibble, if you want to keep your net worth and status, you must pay the price, he gritted his teeth, ruthlessly, and suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, please lead the Shence army and gallop to the aid of Tongguan!" Your Majesty rest assured, although the thieves have broken through the Eastern Capital, as long as Tongguan is still there, even if the minister dies in the city, he will definitely defend the Xiongguan for His Majesty and prevent the thieves from entering the pass!"

"Okay! This is what you said!" Li Yan stared at Tian Lingzi with red eyes, "I will now order you to be the commander of all the Dao camps, and lead 500,000 troops such as Shence and Boye to guard Tongguan!

"Minister...... Thanksgiving!"

Horse House.

As soon as Wu Yuxuan entered the door with a calm face, he ran into Wu You, the lord of Lijun, rushing out, and he asked in amazement, "What are you going to do?"

Wu You was in a hurry, followed by a team of entourage, "Your Majesty has ordered the Shence Army to rush to the aid of Tongguan, and I also want to go to ......."

"Nonsense! Give me back!" Wu Yuxuan suddenly became angry and scolded sharply.

"Father...... We are a person who is clothed and fed, and we are supported by the state, and now that the country is in trouble, how can we serve the country without fighting to the death?"

Wu You laughed angrily: "Serve the country, what do you use to serve the country?"

He took a deep breath, "Do you think that if the Divine Ce Army fights, it will definitely win? Okay, as a father, let you see what the Divine Ce Army is like! You come with me!"

Wu Yuxuan took Wu You to the street, the two of them cultivated not low, flying vertically and horizontally, extremely fast, and soon turned around several square areas, the hot blood on Wu You's face gradually dissipated, replaced by strong anger and despair.

In the streets of the Fang District, countless brocade-clothed boys, with gold, silver and jewelry, stuffed them to the peddlers' pawns, and when the other party received the gold and silver, they would stuff the armor, swords, waist cards and other things of the Shence Army into them, so that the other party could quickly change them.

In the end, when Wu Yuxuan took Wu You to the camp of the Shence Army, what he saw was those impostor peddlers and pawns who entered the camp.

Wu Yuxuan stood on the roof and said coldly: "Now you can see clearly, what kind of combat power does such a divine army have?"

Wu You's hands and feet were cold, I don't know if it was because of anger or fear, his teeth kept chattering.

"Most of the Shence Army are the children of official eunuchs and rich families, the purpose of their military service is to get all kinds of convenience brought by the identity of the Shence Army, they have no training at all, except for being domineering and domineering, they can't do anything, such an army, what do they take to the battlefield?"

Wu Yuxuan's face was gloomy, "The soldiers of the Shence Army who are really capable of fighting will not exceed 10,000 when they break the sky, but the chaotic army now has more than 100,000!"

Wu You was about to cry out in despair: "If this is the case, how will Tongguan be guarded, how will Chang'an be guarded? Who can save Datang?!"

Wu Yuxuan sighed, said no more, and returned with Wu You.

The military situation was urgent, Tian Lingzi did not dare to delay, and a few days later, he rushed to Tongguan with Shence, Boye and other troops.

However, the armies were in a hurry, Tian Lingzi was a eunuch, where there was a talent to command the troops, the grain and grass were not ready to be deployed, the soldiers with the army only carried three days of rations, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, no matter how the generals urged, the march was always slow, only the Shence army and horse army commanded Zhang Chengfan, led five thousand elite cavalry to rush to Tongguan first.

Bo Ye and other troops who were in the same army with the Shence Army were not fully armored, and they were very jealous when they saw that the Shence Army was brightly dressed and had tall horses.

After many days, in the afternoon of this day, as soon as he arrived in Huazhou, Tian Lingzi was rewarded by the scouts, saying that there was a large army rushing ahead, Tian Lingzi was shocked, and said in his heart: "Isn't it that the chaotic army has been killed?"

It was not the chaotic army that came, but Zhang Chengfan, who returned from defeat, he saw Tian Lingzi and brought back a thunderbolt-like news on a sunny day: "The chaotic army has captured Tongguan, and it is coming here to kill and chase it, and the lieutenant will return to Chang'an quickly!"

Tian Lingzi's face changed greatly, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he turned the reins and rode his horse back.

When Shence, Boye and other armies heard that the rebel army had been killed, they were immediately in chaos, and they turned around and ran, throwing away their armor along the way, and before they saw the shadow of the rebel army, they collapsed.

Tian Lingzi fled back to Chang'an, hurriedly entered the palace, found Li Yan, knelt in front of him, and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and before he arrived at Tongguan, Tongguan was breached!"

Li Yan was so frightened that he retreated again and again, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and lost his soul: "How can this be ......?"

Tian Lingzi walked to Li Yan and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 rebellious troops, all of whom are murderous people without blinking, Chang'an can't stay anymore, please go west to Shuzhong!"

"Huh?" Li Yan didn't react for a while.

Tian Lingzi said eagerly: "The minister has summoned five thousand divine troops to escort him, please leave quickly!"

Li Yan was startled: "Go, go!"

Outside Chang'an City, at both ends of Weiqiao, the Shence Army, the Boye Army, and the Fengxiang Army have been in a mess, and there has long been no marching army, and the Boye Army and the Fengxiang Army actually beat the Shence Army in the chaos, while beating and snatching their fresh clothes and bright armor, shouting in their mouths: "You are defenseless, only in Chang'an to enjoy happiness, but all of you are fresh clothes and bright armor, and your waist is wrapped in thousands of pieces, we are born and die, either defending the frontier or fighting with the chaotic army, but we can't eat, starve and freeze, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

On the city wall, Wu You saw this scene, his face turned pale, "That's Weiqiao, it's the place where Taizong and the Turks swore to kill the white horse and sign the Weishui Alliance, and it was also the foreshadowing of Taizong's counterattack against the Turks and the flattening of the grassland.

"What are you still looking at here, follow your father, Your Majesty has already gone out of the city and is heading west, we must catch up!" Wu Yuxuan pulled Wu You and left.

"I'm not leaving, as a child of the clan, I should live and die with Sheji!" Wu You struggled.

"This is what King An meant!"

"Brother Ye?"

"King An has already sent someone, let me take you away no matter what. Now it seems that he had expected today......" Wu Yuxuan pointed to the monks of the Tsing Yi Yamen under the city wall, "Those people were sent by King An, and he said that you know them!"

Wu You was speechless, and before he got on his horse in front of the city, he asked the monk of the Tsing Yi Yamen who was the leader: "Why didn't Brother Ye come? When will he lead the army to destroy the rebellious army?"

The Tsing Yi swordsman clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness said that he will come." ”

A few days later, Huang Chao captured Chang'an, wantonly searched and killed the children of the clan, and lived in the palace with his family.
