At the same time, another place is far away from the Luoyang battlefield.

This is a big mountain between the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, and in the mountain, there is a huge underground palace.

It was secretly built by Datang after several generations to prepare for emergencies.

If there is chaos today, it is time to use this secret dungeon.

Tang Xuanzong, who many forces wanted to find, is now hiding here.

"Your Majesty, a confidential battle report has been sent from the front!"

In the dimly lit hall, a eunuch urgently sent a letter of recital, respectfully placed it on the dragon case in front of Tang Xuanzong, and then retreated and bowed away.

"Battle report?"

Tang Xuanzong's dragon frowned, he hadn't seen him for months, his old age became more and more obvious, and he had been tortured by the Anshi Rebellion to exhaustion.

As soon as he heard that it was a battle report, he didn't even want to move, and he didn't have the interest to take a look.

During this time, the battle reports he received had already piled up, and most of them were bad news, such as which city was captured again, which army was annihilated by Anshi's army, in short, a good news was now a luxury for him.

In that case, what's the use of reading it?

Tang Xuanzong leaned back on the dragon chair, his fingers subconsciously rubbing the gold-plated armrest.

This is a habit he has gradually developed these days, maybe it will not be long before he can sit on such a thing as a dragon chair if he wants to, while he can still sit on it...... Just sit down more.

Although he never said it, Tang Xuanzong also understood in his heart that with the current situation, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to turn the tables, and perhaps, this country would no longer belong to his Li family.

He didn't want to look at it, but another person who had been dutifully assisting the emperor still came over and picked up the fold.

This action is very bold, the fold is something that only the Tang Emperor can review, and others dare to read the fold without the emperor's permission, which is a big crime of the nine clans.

But this person was different, he picked up the fold very calmly, and Tang Xuanzong did not react.

Colliers.

As a eunuch, he was awarded the title of dart cavalry general, and his status in Tang Xuanzong's heart can be imagined.

It seems that reading some battle reports for Tang Xuanzong that he didn't want to read for a long time, Gao Lishi has long been accustomed to it.

Reading the folds for the emperor was the only way Gao Lishi thought he could still break down some of his sorrows for Tang Xuanzong, even if he didn't expect to see much good news from these battle reports.

However, this time may be a little different!

Gao Lishi's face, which was originally quite calm, suddenly changed color after glancing at the contents of the fold.

"What? Where was it captured?"

Tang Xuanzong rubbed his eyebrows with his eyes closed, he could still feel the change in Gao Lishi's momentum, so he sighed, his face was bitter.

"The Emperor...... Your Majesty!"

Gao Lishi's hands trembled, and he was excited to hold the song, "Good news, great news!"

"What?!"

Tang Xuanzong suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and the dragon's eyes were full of disbelief.

At this time, he already knew any arrangement of the Tang army, but he couldn't think of which army would come with good news.

"It's Luoyang, Luoyang!"

Gao Lishi looked excited, respectfully placed the fold in front of Tang Xuanzong, and said continuously: "Luoyang, it is about to be captured by the people in the martial arts!"

"Impossible!"

Tang Xuanzong bounced up from the dragon chair, grabbed the fold from the desk with his hand, and looked at it word by word with wide eyes.

It's no wonder he was so surprised, in his heart, although the Central Plains Martial Arts gang had high combat power, they couldn't use it for themselves, and they couldn't unite them to wait for the dispatch, so he was also quite helpless about these people.

It can be said that in Tang Xuanzong's heart, the only role of the Central Plains Martial Arts group may be to let An Lushan share part of his strength to lay a trap in Luoyang and contain it a little.

So he knew very well that Luoyang couldn't go, but he didn't send anyone to remind these people, and now, he could only use the lives of people in the martial arts to buy him a little bit of time to survive.

So much for.

So here in Tang Xuanzong, the Central Plains martial arts had been defined by him as a cannon fodder to death as early as when the war began, and at this time, when he heard that these people were about to capture Luoyang, how could he not be surprised?

It was a trap prepared by An Lushan for the people in the martial arts, it was impossible to say that he didn't pay attention to it, and Tang Xuanzong was not ignorant of the strength of the combat power.

Thirteen grandmasters, this number is the biggest reason why Tang Xuanzong decisively decided to ignore the martial arts people after receiving the secret report!

So what's going on?

Tang Xuanzong quickly read the battle report that was not too long with extremely shocked eyes, until he put it back on the table, his expression still revealed doubts.

"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity!"

Gao Lishi had read the folds before him, and when Tang Xuanzong read it, he was already quickly thinking about the pros and cons of this war report.

"Tell me about it. ”

Tang Xuanzong's expression was calm and noncommittal.

"The Central Plains Martial Arts is an extremely powerful force!"

Gao Lishi thought for a while and said: "In terms of individual combat power, whether it is our army or An Lushan and Shi Siming's iron cavalry, it is impossible to be the opponent of people in the martial arts, the only pity is ......"

"The views of the sect, the difference between the court and the rivers and lakes, these two points are the reasons why we have not been able to take these people for our own use, but this is not absolute!"

Gao Lishi paused, and saw that Tang Xuanzong did not say anything, so he said: "You know, in fact, there is no shortage of sects in the rivers and lakes that want to rely on the court and strengthen themselves, but no one dares to talk about this matter on the surface, for fear of being ridiculed by fellow people in the rivers and lakes." ”

"For example, this time, An Lushan clearly let out the wind, saying that the emperor is trapped in Luoyang, and those people in the martial arts will still be willing to run to Luoyang to save him, although there is a real chivalrous man who is dedicated to the common people, but the old minister also believes that there must be people who want to take advantage of the opportunity. ”

"Not bad. Tang Xuanzong nodded and said: "It is precisely because there are too many different minds among these people, so I did not have the intention of integrating the Central Plains martial arts, and let us come forward, not to mention the time and effort, it is very likely to have the opposite effect, forcing away some chivalrous people who really want to contribute to the Central Plains and have strong martial arts." ”

"What the emperor said is extremely true, so the old minister said that this is an opportunity!"

Gao Lishi responded: "It was mentioned in the battle report that now all the factions of the Central Plains Martial Arts are gathering in Luoyang, and they are also under the command of Bajian Villa, so it will be much easier to do!"

"In the past, we needed to talk about one sect after another, but now, as long as we say that we can get most of the combat power of the Central Plains Martial Arts, and then there are the Pure Yang Sword Palace and Shaolin Temple, two major sects that already have a good relationship with the court, Your Majesty, our reinforcements have arrived!"
