The people of Chang'an City are basically indignant at the rebellion of the general Xiao Chaotian, and everyone can scold them.

"This guy is really ungrateful, incorruptible and shameful, the emperor treats him so favorably, he dares to rebel!"

But after scolding, no one will think how much of a wave this border army commander can make!

......

Even after the general Xiao Chaotian led the Zhenbian army and swept north of the Yellow River like a devastating force, some ministers in the court still believed that this was just the result of the rebels' temporary vigor and did not encounter strong resistance!

Only a few people feel that the situation is not optimistic!

......

The general Xiao Chaotian raised troops from Youzhou, commanded 80,000 Zhenbian troops, and 10,000 Dajin and the combined army of the Great Liao State, and fought all the way, not only did the army not lose its personnel, but also surrendered 50,000 garrisons from all over the country.

However, in just two months, Xiao Chaotian has advanced to the Yellow River.

Xiao Chaotian commanded an army of 110,000 Chen soldiers on the north bank of the Yellow River opposite Luokou, and threatened Luocheng!

On the other hand, Cui Qianyou, the captain of the Zhenbian Army, was the commander, and Xiao Mingyi, the prince of the army, and Ashina Shili, the commander of the coalition army, were the deputy commanders, commanding 30,000 Zhenbian troops and 10,000 coalition troops, and the soldiers were in Tongguan!

Li Wenzhong, commander of the Tongguan garrison, has always been haunted by the fact that Yuwen Feiyang left Beijing from Tongguan last time, but he hated that he did not succeed in pursuing and killing him! Now he heard that only 40,000 people had come to attack Tongguan, and that the commander of the army was still Cui Qianyou, who was not well-known, and his heart was ready to move!

......

Emperor Qiyuan had already expected that after Xiao Chaotian's rebellion, he might occupy a large territory north of the Yellow River, but he definitely didn't expect that the Zhenbian army would be so easy to attack Lintong Pass!

Tongguan is the last and most important line of defense of Chang'an City, it can be said that once Tongguan is lost, Chang'an City has no danger to defend, and the city is broken just overnight!

Emperor Qiyuan decided to use the old general Wang Zhongo, who had been idle at home for many years, to increase his troops in Tongguan.

The holy decree was quickly conveyed, with Rong Wang Li Wei as the commander, and the general Wang Zhong as the deputy commander, leading 50,000 reinforcements from all over the country, 30,000 Shenwu troops, and reinforcing Tongguan!

Luocheng also received 50,000 reinforcements, and Li Heng, the prince of Luocheng, was reactivated, and was named the eastern capital to stay behind, leading all armies to resist the general Xiao Chaotian.

......

The pressure of Tongguan and Los Angeles finally reached Chang'an, and the people and officials in the city realized that war was imminent and urgent.

"Your Majesty, Brother Shuye, the Governor of Lingzhou, has been standing still, letting Yuwen Feiyang rage, not only did he not send troops to support Yuanzhou City, but even the Shangjun of the Shuofang Army was stationed in Shangjun, and Ge Shuye's rebellious heart was clearly revealed, please Your Majesty issued an order to crusade!"

Prime Minister Yang Hanwen played.

"Hmph, Prime Minister, who should I let go to crusade against Ge Shuye? Except for Xiao Chaotian's Zhenbian Army, where else can any army be able to conquer the Shuofang Army? Is it so difficult that I want tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Anxi Protectorate to be sent to death? Besides, there are also the combined forces of Tubo and Mole eyeing each other! In the north, I am temporarily powerless!"

Yang Hanwen heard the emperor's sneering and knew that Emperor Qiyuan had been worried and in a bad mood recently.

As a member of the three clans of Longshan, Yang Hanwen is powerless as the emperor said for Yuwen Feiyang's siege of Shangjunzhou City!

"I heard that General Li Xiaobai is also in Shangjunzhou City, I hope he can turn the tide!"

Yang Hanwen said, also knowing that his expectations were unrealistic.

"Hey, I didn't expect him to run to Shangjun to die, how could he resist Yuwen Feiyang's army with that little strength in Shangjun, no matter who was there, he would just die in vain!"

......

Qingyunju in Changle Fang, Dongfeng Street.

Mrs. Chengguo had already received the news from Ma Yu and knew that Li Xiaobai was also besieged in Shangjunzhou City, so she was anxious but helpless.

"Buyi, why don't you take some people to Shangjun for a trip?"

"Madam, even if I take all of us, what can I do? It's war, and it's not something that can be easily swayed! Longshan is in danger this time!"

"Hey, actually, I also know, but I can't be at ease in my heart, Xiao Chaotian is here, I must kill him if I have the chance!"

"Madam, I heard that some ministers have already planned a rainy day and are planning a way out, once Tongguan or Los Angeles is lost, Chang'an City will also be in danger! I wonder if Madame has thought about this?"

"These people! Usually one by one, the big thing is coming, and one by one they have become shrinking turtles, let them go! I will not leave Chang'an City, if Xiao Chaotian attacks Chang'an City, I will wait for him here!"

"Madam, even if it is a prince or a prince, no one plans to live and die with Chang'an City, so why should you?"

"Buyi, you don't have to persuade me, although I am a woman, although I am looked charming by outsiders, but I am different from those people, I still have a breath in my heart!

"Madame......"

......

The crown prince Li Heng stationed all his troops in Luokou on the bank of the Yellow River, and he lived in his mansion in Luocheng. He always thought that with himself and these sixty or seventy thousand defenders, it was impossible to resist the more than 100,000 troops of the great general Xiao Chaotian, and it was still a strong town border army.

Therefore, he has already arranged a retreat, the big deal is to retreat to Jiangnan Road, according to the Yangtze River, the worst can be rowed and ruled!

......

Wu Fei, the proud disciple of the King of Lingnan, led a coalition of 20,000 troops composed of various ethnic groups in Nanling to go out of Lingnan Road, echoing the army of Nanshao Kingdom in the west of Nanling.

The king of Lingnan is a fairy-like existence in Nanling, but he can only live in a corner for many years, and not long ago, the kingdom of all countries came to the dynasty and spent a lot of effort, and finally got the reward of the Tang Empire and became a veritable king of Lingnan!

Unexpectedly, then the general Xiao Chaotian rebelled, and the Tang Empire was in turmoil, which gave him a chance to go further! Therefore, he exchanged news with the monarch of Nanshao, formed an alliance, and marched out of Nanling.

Although the defenders of Lingnan Province were also brave and strong, they did not resist the army of the King of Lingnan, and within a month, they had occupied five or six state cities and gained a firm foothold in Lingnan Province.

......

On the coast of the East China Sea, there is a small island, originally inhabited by five or six hundred people, but suddenly it was slaughtered overnight by a group of pirates, this group of pirates had more than 2,000 people, renamed the island Poseidon Island, and established a gang of their own, called "Poseidon Temple"

Because this small island is not very far from the mainland, the coastal defense army of Yanhaidao also sent troops to suppress bandits, but unfortunately they returned in vain every time, and then simply ignored them.

This group of pirates was ferocious and brutal, not only robbing fishing boats and merchant ships at sea, but sometimes bringing people ashore and looting some residents on the mainland, arousing public indignation, but no one paid attention to them.

......

Even Jiangnan Province, which was originally rich, gradually had more robbers and bandits, disturbing the township, but the garrison was powerless.

All internal and external troubles seem to indicate that the Tang Empire is in turmoil and the edifice is about to collapse!
