449 Chang'an falls
Tongguan City is high and deep, and Geshuhan can't hold out. Seeing that Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi were like broken bamboos, An Lushan was anxious like ants on the hot pot.
"Your Majesty can use a plan to lure Geshuhan into sending troops. ”
"Ge Shuhan is cunning and treacherous, I'm afraid that it is not so easy to fall for it. ”
"Your Majesty only has to lure the enemy, and we will do the rest. ”
At this time, the great monk beside him gave An Lushan an idea. In fact, it is very simple, it is to show weakness to the enemy. Although An Lushan had doubts in his heart, there was no other good way at this time, and he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
An Lushan ordered the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to be stationed in Shaanxi County, while the elite troops were hidden. On the fourth day of the sixth month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan really led an army of 180,000 out of Tongguan.
An Lushan was pleasantly surprised, and then looked at the big monk next to him, but his face was calm, and he looked like he had already known this.
In fact, Buddhism penetrated everywhere, in addition to some small officials, including important ministers in the court, such as Yang Guozhong!
Yang Guozhong is now the prime minister, and he can be said to have lost both with the Tang Dynasty, and of course he will not help Buddhism destroy the Tang Dynasty. But as long as you master his veins, it's still simple to let him do something.
For example, this time, it was Buddhism that secretly pleaded with Yang Guozhong, saying that Ge Shuhan supported the army and would definitely threaten his position in the future. Out of this concern, Yang Guozhong played Li Longji, and with the false impression that An Lushan was old, weak, sick and disabled less than 4,000, Li Longji ordered Ge Shuhan to send troops.
Ge Shuhan knew that he would be defeated if he sent troops, but the emperor's order could not be violated, so he could only leave Tongguan with hatred.
The next day, in Lingbao Xiyuan, Geshuhan's army met Cui Qianyou's troops, Cui Qianyou was a general under An Lushan, and an ambush had already been arranged.
Lingbao is backed by mountains in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and a narrow mountain road of 70 miles long in the middle. Cui Qianyou ambushed his elite soldiers on the southern mountain, and fought a decisive battle with Ge Shuhan on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
The Tang army of 50,000 troops was in front, 100,000 in the rear, and another 30,000 were beating drums on the north bank of the Yellow River to help. After the battle between the two armies, they saw that the rebels were shaking in a chaotic position, and the military flags were thrown everywhere and fleeing, so they took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Oh no! Beware of ambushes!"
After chasing all the way to the valley, Goshuhan sensed that something was wrong and was about to retreat. But it was already too late, and it was so easy for an army of hundreds of thousands to turn around.
"Kill!"
Immediately afterwards, the shouts of killing on both sides shook the sky, and a large number of elite rebels appeared. At the same time, a large number of rolling logs and gravels fell from the hillside and smashed into the Tang army in the middle.
"Rush! Rush forward!"
Seeing that the army was crowded in the valley and suffered heavy casualties for a while, Ge Shuhan hurriedly ordered the chariots and horses to charge forward, trying to forcibly open a way of life.
But unfortunately, the rebels were jammed with a large amount of forage in front, and after the burning, thick smoke billowed out, and it was impossible to distinguish the direction at all, and the Tang army became more and more confused.
This continued until sunset, when the 150,000 Tang army was defeated. The 30,000 troops on the north bank of the Yellow River also scattered and fled.
Ge Shuhan only took a few hundred horsemen and fled back to Tongguan in embarrassment. There are three ravines outside Tongguan, all of which are two zhang wide and one zhang deep, and the people and horses who fled back from the Tang army fell into it, and they quickly filled up, and the people and horses behind them stepped on the corpses again.
Pity the 180,000 troops, and only 8,000 people fled back to Tongguan.
The next day, Cui Qianyou broke through Tongguan, and Ge Shuhan retreated to Yuanguan Xiyi in embarrassment.
Ge Shuhan posted a post, wanting to gather the separated soldiers and continue to guard Tongguan. But unexpectedly, at this time, the Tibetan general Huoba Guiren led the men and horses to surround the post station.
"The general's army of 200,000 was wiped out in World War I, how can he meet the Son of Heaven? Think about what happened to Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, instead of being killed by the emperor, it is better to surrender An Lushan!"
"I'm waiting for the king, how can I do such a disloyal and unrighteous thing!"
"Then offend!"
Ge Shuhan refused to surrender, so Huoba Guiren and others directly tied him to the horse, and together with other disobedient generals, they went to surrender An Lushan.
Li Longjili made his wisdom faint, coupled with the instigation of traitorous ministers, miscalculated the situation, and sent troops to counterattack prematurely, causing Tongguan to fall and lose both people and land.
As a result, Chang'an had no protective barrier, and the rebels occupied Luoyang and Tongguan, and pounced on Chang'an like a tiger descending from the mountain.
"Is this the end of my Datang?"
Tongguan fell, the news quickly spread to Chang'an, this morning, looking at the two or three people below, Li Longji came from it. The prosperous Tang Dynasty, is it just dead?
"I'm not reconciled! Someone, give an order, I want to drive the expedition in person!"
Li Longji was full of resentment, and then issued a decree in the Qinzheng Building.
"The Imperial Driver?"
Hearing the news, the hundred officers and soldiers were all stunned, and then shook their heads and sneered.
"The devil believes it!"
That night, the guard of honor of the forbidden army moved to the Daming Palace, and Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, organized the six armies, rewarded a large amount of silver, and then selected 900 fast horses from the stables.
These things were carried out in secret, and nothing was known outside the palace. Seeing that the rebels were approaching, when dawn came, Li Longji took his Yang Yuhuan sisters, the prince's sons and grandsons, and other concubines, together with Yang Guozhong, Chen Xuanli and other close ministers, to escape from Yanqiumen from Chang'an.
Li Longji's personal expedition was just a smoke bomb, and he had already thought about escaping. Escape from Chang'an and change places, he is still the emperor!
"Sure enough......"
In the sky above Chang'an, looking at the fleeing emperor, Mi Xiaoxia sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Although there was a conflict between Buddhism and Taoism in the middle, the development of things was really the same as the history he knew.
At this time, looking at the luck of Datang, with the emperor's escape, it has fallen to the extreme, if it goes down again, Datang will really die.
And the key to this last bit of Datang luck lies in the Tang Emperor. As the last representative of the Tang Dynasty, if the emperor is finished, the Tang Dynasty will really be finished.
Although Li Longji's escape was hidden, he could not hide the power of Taoism and Buddhism. At this time, everyone is paying attention to this team and paying attention to the last luck of Datang.
"Kill Li Longji!"
"Protect Li Longji!"
At this time, the key to the survival of the Tang Dynasty lies in Li Longji's life and death. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they have begun to take action.
Half of the Tang Dynasty has been lost, and even the capital has been occupied by rebels. But at this time, after all, the country has not yet perished, and as the emperor, the will of all the people is added, and even the saints cannot murder him.
Cultivators can't make a move, but mortals can. At this time, it was a great chaos, the emperor fled, and the six armies guarding it could be described as a mixture of dragons and snakes. At this time, any pawn broke out, and it was even possible to kill the emperor.
Both Buddhism and Taoism did their best to mobilize the people in the six armies. Either kill Li Longji, or protect Li Longji. But it's a pity that at the beginning, the focus was on ministers and generals, and there was too little control over the pawns. At this time, among the six armies, whether it was Buddhism or Taoism, there were very few people who could control it.
"Even if you risk it, it can only be like this!"
If this continues, it will be difficult to kill Li Longji. A great monk's face was cold, and he decided to cast a spell to bewitch the soldiers and kill Li Longji!
Although this is not his own action, after all, it is directly related, and he will inevitably be punished by the Heavenly Dao. But as long as Li Longji is killed, Datang will be finished, which is enough to make up for this loss.
"What a bold Manjushri, you dare to murder the mortal emperor!"
And just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly shouted loudly, directly interrupting his spell casting.
"Hiroshiko...... It's you again!"
Seeing the comer, the great monk's face was gloomy. The person who came was the Taoist Guangchengzi, and the real identity of the great monk was the Buddhist Manjushri Bodhisattva.
"That's right for me to say, when Liangshan rebelled, you were by Song Jiang's side. At this time, An Lushan rebelled, and you were by An Lushan's side again. And now, it's you again, and you want to murder the emperor. ”
Guang Chengzi sneered at the corner of his mouth, ready to make a move at any time.
"Amitabha. ”
At this moment, a Buddha horn sounded, followed by two more people.
"You ......"
Seeing these two people, even Guang Chengzi couldn't help frowning. These two people are Guanyin Bodhisattva and Fuxian Bodhisattva, so that the three major scholars of Buddhism can gather.
"Hehe, it's all here today. ”
At this time, someone spoke again, and four people walked out behind Guangchengzi, all of whom were the original twelve golden immortals, who were the red sperm, Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, and Qingxu Moral True Monarch!
The three major scholars of Buddhism, in fact, also their mounts green lions and white elephants, a total of five people. On the Daomen side, there are also five people, and the strength of the two sides is equal.
"It's a good day!"
"That's what I mean!"
Immortals fight mortals and suffer, of course, they can't do it directly in the barracks. Everyone flew into the air with a soft shout, and then the big battle method followed.
"It's a fight......"
At this time, another person appeared in the barracks, it was Mi Xiaoxia.
Watching the fight between the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate, I couldn't help but smile at the corner of my mouth. But instead of mixing, he walked straight into a big tent.
"Old fairy, you're here!"
At this time, there were only two people in the big tent, it was Li Heng, Li Yu and his son! Li Heng was turning around anxiously, and when he saw Mi Xiaoxia coming in, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had taken a reassuring pill.
"Explain what is going on with you. ”
"Back to the old fairy, everything is all right!"
Li Heng said with a hint of ruthlessness on his face.
"I have already asked Li Fuguo to inform Chen Xuanli, find an opportunity to do it tomorrow, and kill Yang Guozhong first!"
"Back to the old immortals, many of the people in the army at this time are my men, and the overall situation will be safe at that time!"
Li Yu arched his hand to Mi Xiaoxia, although he was a little nervous, his eyes were extremely firm.
"Tomorrow ......"
Mi Xiaoxia calculated, he would just be able to get to Ma Weipo tomorrow, and nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Well, everything will be done according to the plan, tomorrow we will kill Yang Guozhong and other traitorous ministers, and then kill Yang Yuhuan, the demon concubine, and finally force the emperor to abdicate!"
"Yes, yes! Everything is up to the old fairy!"
Li Heng's eyes were excited, but then he was a little weak-hearted, and he couldn't help asking.
"Old Immortal, can I really take this opportunity to ascend the throne?"
"Don't worry, Li Longji has lost the morale of the army and public opinion, as the crown prince, you are the best candidate to succeed to the throne, and if you kill the traitorous minister and demon concubine to win the hearts of the people, there will definitely be no mistakes. ”
"Yes, yes, everything is arranged by the old fairy. ”
Li Heng took a deep breath, and then took a deep look at Mi Xiaoxia.
Mi Xiaoxia didn't speak, nodded and walked out of the big tent. Everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow.
". ”
At this time, looking up at the sky, I saw that Guang Chengzi and the three major soldiers were still fighting, and Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help but snort lightly.
These people's cultivation is profound, but it is precisely for this reason that they usually rely too much on mana and do things rudely and directly, which in his opinion is simply in vain.
