How dare Gonggong Xi stay, and said busily, "General Yuwen is polite, I am in a hurry to go back to restore my life, so I won't bother!"

Xie Tong said loudly, "Father-in-law, the name of the saint is to let you pass on the decree, but in fact, let your father-in-law be the overseer, can't my father-in-law understand this?"

Gonggong Xi finally put down his face and begged, "General Yuwen, General Xie, please raise your noble hand and let me go, I am just a eunuch who does not enter the stream, I don't know anything about marching and fighting, how dare I point fingers at the two generals, staying here will only drag the two generals back, please let me go!"

Xie Tong made a color towards Yuwen Yishuo, and Yuwen Yishuo said, "I see, since Gonggong Xi is under the emperor's order, it seems that he is going to stay in Tongguan for a while, please, Gonggong Xi!"

Father-in-law Xi knew that he could not leave Tongguan, thinking that he was rushing to Tongguan to pass the decree, he thought that he could blackmail Yuwen Yishuo, but it was expected that stealing chickens would not be a loss of rice, it seemed that he was going to be imprisoned by Yuwen Yishuo, I don't know when he would be able to return to Chang'an, if Yuwen Yishuo is really resisting the enemy, it is okay, once he defects to the enemy and treason, he jumps into the Yellow River and can't wash it, and in desperation, his face is as ugly as it is, so he has to follow Yuwen Yishuo and leave.

The reception dinner was eaten quickly, after all, both sides had no thoughts, and after the dinner, Xie Tong and the others gathered in the living room with Yuwen Yishuo to drink tea.

Lao Lai took the lead and said, "Brother Yuwen, I have thought about it, it is not a long-term solution to detain Gonggong Xi like this, and when the Holy Lord sees that Gonggong Xi does not return for a long time, he will definitely be suspicious." ”

Yuwen Yishuo said: "This is easy, I immediately went to the emperor, claiming that my father-in-law was ill, and he could not return to Chang'an in the short term, and he needed to rest! In addition, he explained the current situation, and implored His Majesty to draft a decree to save the vitality of Sima Xiangru and Song Wenyuan, and retreat to the Guannei!

Lao Lai nodded, and continued, "Yes, but you should also add an analysis of the battle situation, and you must be supported by the Holy Lord, otherwise it will only blame you and blame you for delaying the fighter." This is a big crime, we all know that you are thinking about the empire, but the enemy doesn't think so!"

Xie Tong said, "Lao Lai is right, let's not ignore a person, Sima Xuan, he will definitely be able to see through our plan, he will not sit still, we don't want to be vigilant, the younger brother will give Li Zheng, the king of Wu, a letter to repair, and take it to Chang'an together, Li Zheng read the letter, and he will definitely say something for us in front of the saint!"

Yuwen said, "Okay, just do it, I'll send someone to Chang'an tomorrow!"

The time lasted for half a month, and there was no news from Chang'an for a long time, not even an instruction to Yuwen Yishuo, giving people the feeling that the news was blocked, but there was information coming from outside the customs every day!

The Huangchao army has cleared all the strongholds around Luoyang, sending troops to attack the city every day, and it is a repeated attack on the stronghold leading to Tongguan in Luoyang, this time it seems that it is not a joke, Huangchao has invested heavy troops, and Sima Xiangru is not too much, he knows the importance of this stronghold, once lost, hundreds of thousands of troops will be trapped in Luoyang, there is no food and grass inside, there is no rescue outside, but it is really weak.

This time, Song Wenyuan personally led the troops to guard the stronghold, the only channel, is the guarantee of their survival, however, the main attack channel is Zhu Wen, he adopts the method of killing people without grabbing the land, not caring whether he can take the stronghold, but concentrating on the consumption of the Tang army's vital force, the purpose and starting point of the two sides are different, plus Zhu Wen is cunning and changeable, a few zhang down, Song Wenyuan suffered heavy losses, fortunately, the stronghold is still in their hands, in order not to let the stronghold be lost, Sima Xiangru mobilized a large team of people from Luoyang City to assist Song Wenyuan in defending the stronghold, so that Luoyang City is even more empty。

After another six or seven days, there was still no news from Chang'an, but the battle in Luoyang became more urgent, and the news claimed that the Tang army had suffered serious losses.

On this day, Xie Tong and the others gathered in the living room, listening intently to the battle report in front of them, when suddenly a scout came to report, and a girl was waiting outside the city lord's mansion, asking

Ask to see the lord of the city.

Yuwen was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what girl would come to see him, he asked, "Is this girl a person?"

The scout said, "General Hui, I have never seen this person, this person will not be named, and he said that he has something important to discuss with the general!"

At this juncture, a mysterious woman came, who could it be! Yuwen Yishuo didn't plan to meet, but considering the recent military emergency, this woman might have important news, so he immediately said, "Only she is allowed to come in alone!"

The scout went down, and a few moments later, several guards walked in carrying a woman.

This woman was dusty and dusty, obviously after a long journey, a pair of boots had worn out the bottom, and her hair was even more unkempt, but no matter what, it was difficult to hide her graceful figure and delicate face, and she had fainted.

Yuwen Yishuo leaned in front of him and shook his head, obviously he had never seen this woman, Xie Tong's curiosity was also very strong, he took a look, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the person who came was none other than the princess of the Murowei clan, the princess of Wu Wang Li Zheng, Shi Jianing.

Xie Tong was not only puzzled, how could she appear here! It should be that she was living a pampered life in Chang'an, a frightening thought appeared in his mind, it could be that Li Zheng had a problem.

Lao Lai and the others came forward and also recognized Shi Jianing.

Yuwen Yishuo was just about to speak, Xie Tong waved his hand and said, "Everyone else should go down!"

The subordinates left the living room, and Xie Tong said, "It's Princess Wu."

After that, he supported Shi Jianing on a chair, lifted his true qi, and constantly conveyed internal force to him, and after less than a stick of incense, Shi Jianing's body trembled and woke up.

What caught her face was Xie Tong's face that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Shi Jianing couldn't believe it, she stared at Xie Tong with a pair of big eyes, and then cried out with a wow, why can she see Xie Tong every time she is in trouble, God treats her too well.

Xie Tong hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and when Shi Jianing drank it all, he asked, "How is the prince, why are you here!"

Shi Jianing wiped away his tears and said, "Sima Xuan suggested that the prince lead the defenders of the capital to attack and assist Sima Xiangru in exterminating the rebels, and the prince's army is the only remaining army in the Beijing division. It is detrimental to the dignity of the royal family, and he has been put in prison, Jianing has worked hard to escape from Chang'an, and is ready to go to the ends of the earth to find you, hey, it's so good to see you, Li Zheng He is saved."

Xie Tong and the others looked at each other, there was no doubt that this was a trick that Sima Xuan came up with, and he couldn't help but sigh that Tang Xizong was too stupid to listen to the old fox's slander, and Li Zheng now had less than 150,000 horses in his hands. It is an important force of the Gongwei Jingshi, but it is a pity that he was deceived by Sima Xuan so easily, Xie Tong can almost imagine that the army is driving from Chang'an to Tongguan Luoyang, and the entire Chang'an defense force is almost useless, if the nomads in the northwest come over, what kind of situation will it be, he hardly dares to fantasize about it.

Suddenly, Huo Zixin said, "How long has the princess been away from Chang'an?"

Shi Jianing said stupidly, "It should be more than ten days! Hey, you guys are so good here."

Xie Tong said, "For more than ten days, did the princess hear any rumors along the way, Sima Xuan won the prince's army, and he is bound to march eastward, join forces with his son, and fight against Huangchao's army together." ”

Shi Jianing said, "I still heard a lot along the way, isn't Sima Xuan so deliberately seeking Li Zheng's military power just to advance eastward and seek great success?"

Xie Tong nodded and said, "If Sima Xuan comes to Tongguan, he will definitely be able to find that we are not moving, and this situation will be serious." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Yuwen Yishuo to see how he handled this matter, after all, no one thought that Sima Xuan would come to such a hand, and Yuwen Yishuo would face being exposed at any time, so that he would be charged with disrespecting the will, unless he could dare to lead his troops to confront Sima Xuan, but in the middle of the two major forces, could he stand up? The answer is undeniable.

Shi Jianing didn't know what was going on, she looked at the people in a daze, and said, "Xie Tong, General Yuwen, you can divide a group of people, return to the capital with me, and bring Li Zheng out." ”

This idea was even more groundbreaking, and the frightened people couldn't say a word, and led the army back to Beijing to save people, but it was really a rebellion.

Yuwen Yishuo let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Xie, Brother Lai, you can take your own people and go!

Lao Lai seemed to see through his thoughts, and said, "Then what should you do?"

Yuwen Yishuo smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do?" Of course, I follow the instructions of Lord Taiwei and fight side by side with him, a big war of this scale, the founding of the country, is a big war that determines the survival of the empire, I will never be absent, you are the holy prisoner, Sima Xuan will never keep you, and I can't protect you either, for the sake of today, I can only leave, the farther away the better, and take the prince to the outside of the Saiwai!

For the first time, Xie Tong had a feeling that he was not under his control, all along, he thought that he was the protagonist, the savior who saved the world, and this decisive battle that decided the survival of the Tang Empire, not only could he not command the army, but also could not fight bravely to kill the enemy, and he didn't even have the opportunity to participate, so he could only leave in disgrace, he could almost imagine the tragic ending of Yuwen Yishuo, no matter what, Sima Xuan would not let him go, and he, also for the empire, was indeed loyal, Xie Tong felt a sour feeling in his heart, he didn't know what to say, for a while, he said"Brother Yuwen, leave with us! The history of the empire's victory is destined not to leave your name, and if you are defeated, you are even more nameless, nothing is more important than living, let's go!"

Yuwen Yishuo shook his head violently, and said, "Let's go! Brother, there are some things you don't understand, I have been in Tongguan for so many years, I have already regarded this place as my home, there is nothing more important and comfortable than staying at home, no matter whether this lord wins or loses, no matter how the Holy Lord and Sima Xuan deal with me, I will not have the slightest resentment! Let me end up here!"

"Nonsense", Lao Lai said angrily, "When is it, don't you understand? Xie Xiaozi is right, life is the most important thing, otherwise what ambitions and aspirations are you talking about?"

"Brother Lai", Yuwen Yishuo said excitedly, "Don't persuade me, you know my character, you can go! If you don't leave, when Sima Xuan comes, you really can't leave if you want to." ”

At this time, the soldiers came to report that the army led by the Taiwei had arrived fifteen miles west of Tongguan City, and had set up camp and asked the general to go to discuss the military.

Everyone understood that Sima Xuan had come prepared, and he had heard everything here, so he didn't enter the city, and asked Yuwen to go out of the city to greet him, and the situation was unknown.

Time was pressing, but everyone had no intention of leaving, and their eyes were all focused on Yuwen Yishuo's body to see how he decided.

Yuwen took a long breath and said, "Let's go! It's really too late if you don't leave!"

Lao Lai stood up and said resolutely, "Brother, my brother knows that you are an iron-clad man, but people have to look farther, is it not worth it to sacrifice like this!"

Yuwen Yishuo laughed and said, "With the evaluation of the eldest brother, what does it matter if you die, besides, things are not as bad as imagined, after all, the younger brother is now the guard of Tongguan City, Sima Xuan doesn't dare to do anything to me, even if you want to punish me, you have to wait until the end of the war, it will definitely not be now, you don't have to worry, let's go!"

Xie Tong knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be difficult to shake his thoughts, so he had to say helplessly, "Okay! Let's take the first step, if Brother Yuwen is in trouble, we will definitely come to help, and there will be a period later!"

Yuwen Yishuo smiled and said, "There will be a period later."

Xie Tong and the others led their troops to quietly leave Tongguan, and after leaving the city, they went all the way south, trying to avoid Sima Xuan's main force.

After walking about fifty or sixty miles, he was getting farther and farther away from Tongguan, and he had entered a safe area, where he could ignore Sima Xuan's threat.

Along the way, several brothers rode on horses, no one made a sound, Xie Tong's heart was full of helplessness, it was purely a feeling of helplessness, Yuwen Yishuo did not have much contact with him, a total of two encounters, but his generosity and courage made him admire, especially the spirit of the world, let him admire the five-body throw, he himself adheres to the essence of the teacher, aims to help the world, can not do Yuwen Yishuo as righteous Ling Ran, Yuwen Yishuo is really for the sake of the people of the world, at the expense of his own life.

This group of men and horses walked for a day, rested on a hillside, and when the number of people was counted, Xie Tong found that his men and horses had actually changed from 15,000 to 20,000, and it turned out that Yuwen Yishuo had added 5,000 people to him, the same as when he went to Luoyang, and he owed Yuwen Yishuo a favor, and he didn't know if there was a chance to pay him back.
