Late Tang

In Fengyi City, Tongzhou, Guanzhong, Li Jing summoned Wang Yanzhang and other seven generals and other school lieutenants at the school grounds immediately after entering the city, and highly praised them. Li Cunxiao was called to front by Li Jing, and he patted his shoulder to praise him, feeling excited.Last night Li Cunxiao personally led the headquarters and took the lead in attacking Feng Yicheng. In the end, he was defeated in a bloody battle and even suffered several stab wounds. It was amazing.

"Your Highness, now that Feng Yi is coming down, Pujin Pass has been besieged by us and has become an isolated city. Someone is willing to lead three thousand Qingqi from the headquarters to directly attack Pujin and win this pass for Your Highness."

Li Jing shook his hand and said with a smile: "Pujinguan is already full of meat, don't rush this moment, let the soldiers rest for a day before talking!"

Gao Siji looked at Li Jing's appearance of winning, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. Now that the Xichuan army was besieging Chang'an, Yang Fugong brought many Guanzhong soldiers and horses to fight the fire.As a result, the strength of Tongguan and Pujinguan was weakened, and this was also a good time for the Qin army to quickly break through the gateway to the east of Guandong.Why hold off at this time?Could it be that His Highness is planning to go straight to Chang'an?

Thinking of this, Gao Siji, the white horse and silver spear, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Dongchuan Jiedu envoy Gao Renhou broke through Wuguan and Lantian all the way before, and now he is stationed in Bashang, besieging Chang'an. Although Yang Fugong rushed back to rescue, but He is definitely not Gao Renhou's opponent. Chang'an is an important place, and someone thinks that he should immediately send troops westward to rob Chang'an. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to be the vanguard!"

Chang'an is Xijing, even if it has been dilapidated and dilapidated after the Huangchao Rebellion, it is of great significance.Especially for the competition for Guanzhong, Chang'an has a more central role.Controlling Chang'an is extremely important for seizing the entire Guanzhong.Although the Guanzhong coalition army lost to the Qin army at the moment, Tian Lingzi also stepped into Guanzhong.If he was allowed to be the first to take Guanzhong first, it would be inevitable for Qin Fan to make wedding clothes for others.

But unexpectedly, Li Jing smiled and shook his head again.

"Leave him alone in Chang'an for the time being. Let's rest for a day. After the grand master goes south, we will defeat the enemy soldiers in Tonghua and Tonghua states when Lin Guogong's soldiers come to Tongguan. Soldiers march west to Chang'an."

"But if Gao Renhou is allowed to attack Chang'an first, I'm afraid..."

Li Jing smiled, pinched his short beard under his jaw, and said confidently: "Gao Renhou will not be our obstacle!"

Tongguan.

Tongguan City, the gateway to the Middle East of the Guandong, is heavily guarded by a large army.Tongguan City has no north gate, only east, west, south and upper south gates.After withdrawing troops from Hedong, the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Tonghua, Jingyuan, and Fengxiang all withdrew into Guanzhong, plus some of the Shence Army, as well as the soldiers and horses previously withdrawn from Luoyang, Shanguo and Jinshang. Tongguan has more than 5000 troops stationed there.After Li Quanzhong, the Jiedu envoy of the town [***] and the commander of Tongguan, returned to Tongguan, a general and [-] people were sent to guard each city gate to strictly check entry and exit. In addition, troops from other towns also assisted in defense.Outside the city, a large number of horse infantry troops were stationed in all strategically important places, such as leading to Luochuan and Jinpenpi.Not only were every household occupied by the officers and soldiers of the various towns, but the surrounding suburbs were lined up with curtains and war horses in groups.

At night, drums and horns start to play, and horses neigh continuously. Within tens of miles around Tongguan, there are piles of bonfires everywhere, which are as bright as day when they are closed and closed.From south to north, from west to east, all roads are blocked, and no pedestrians and traders are allowed to approach, let alone pass.

Zhen [***] Jiedushi, Tongguan Marshal, Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi, Jingdong Camp Dutong, Shizhong, Calibration Taiwei, and Ji Wang Li Quanzhong personally sit on Tongguan.In the past few days, the Qin army's reconnaissance cavalry can be seen from time to time in the Guandong area. Now rumors are spreading inside and outside the Guandong every day. For a while, Gao Renhou, the commander of the Dongchuan Festival, has led Sanchuan soldiers to break Chang'an and welcome Li Xuan back. Li Ye was abolished.After a while, it was said that Lin Wei of the Kanto had already won the two towns of Shanguo and Jinshang.There are even rumors that Li Jing has already broken through Pujin Pass, marched westward along the Wei River, and has already reached Chang'an.

All kinds of rumors made the defenders of Tongguan startled and panicked.Although Li Quanzhong strictly investigated those who spread rumors, it had little effect.Li Changyan from Fengxiang, Zhang Jun from Jingyuan, and Zhu Mei from Binning all lost their composure, and all withdrew their troops back to the town.Both Li Jing and Gao Renhou had already broken through the outer gates of Guanzhong and entered Guanzhong.It is meaningless for them to defend Tongguan any longer. If their lair is occupied, it will be a catastrophe.No matter how hard Ren Li Quanzhong persuaded him, no one was willing to take such a risk.In the end, they reluctantly agreed to Li Quanzhong's request. When they left, they quietly evacuated and returned to the town in the middle of the night. Replacing Li Quanzhong can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army for Li Quanzhong.

No one knew that there were [-] soldiers inside and outside Tongguan at this time, but less than half of them were real soldiers, and most of the rest were civilian men who made up spears and knives, put on conscript clothes and drove ducks to the shelves.In particular, the few tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are not all Li Quanzhong's town[***], but include Zhen Guo, Shaanxi, Jinshang, and Luoyang, Fengxiang, Binning, Jingyuan, and Shence Army Wait for the soldiers and horses of the various ministries.Although he knew what kind of mob was under his command, Li Quanzhong had no way out.Li Changyan and others can retreat, but he can't, this is his territory, and if he retreats one step further, he won't even have his territory.

After inspecting Tongguan with his personal guards, Li Quanzhong returned to Tongguan.

After taking off the shining and dazzling handsome helmet, Li Quanzhong suddenly looked ten years older. He tried his best to pretend to be confident and relaxed when he was patrolling outside.But as soon as he arrived at the house, his inner anxiety was immediately revealed.He picked up the teacup and took two sips, only to realize that it was a cup of herbal tea. Angrily, he slapped the teacup on the table heavily.

"How is it?" Throwing down the teacup, Li Quanzhong said with a gloomy face.

"Dongfang Kui of Baoda and Li Sigong of Dingnan have been defeated by Li Jing's disciple Wang Yanzhang and other seven generals, and they surrendered to Qin successively. They are willing to be Li Jing's lackeys, and they are the forwards, opening the way for the Qin army, directly along the North Luohe River. , bypassing the northern defenses of Hexi and Chengcheng established in the north of Pujin, and directly captured Feng Yicheng. Right now, Li Jing has personally led [-] elite troops to cross the river, and joined forces with Wang Yanzhang's troops under Feng Yicheng to outflank Pujin pass."

"How many people do they have?" Li Quanzhong's face became more and more ugly.

"Li Jing personally led [-] elite guards, and Wang Yanzhang's westward march was nearly [-] troops. In addition, Baoda and Dingnan surrendered together, with [-] troops."

12 soldiers and horses, this number made Li Quanzhong take a breather.He was driven from Hebei to Guanzhong by Li Jing at the beginning, and it was hard for him to gain a foothold, but in the battle with Huang Chao, he also suffered a lot of losses, and lost Tongzhou several times.Although it recovered again later, it suffered a lot of losses and its vitality was greatly injured.Earlier he sent his eldest son Li Kuangwei as governor of Tongzhou, and not long ago he sent his second son Li Kuangchou as guard envoy of Pujin Pass, but the total number of soldiers and horses of his two sons in Tongzhou is only 12, both old and weak.Feng Yi was lost, and Li Jing defeated the northern defense line. Now they are huddled in Pujin Pass, with less than [-] troops.With this little force, how can we fight against Li Jing's [-] troops.

The staff reported another piece of military information, which made Li Quanzhong's situation worse.

"The two Tuyuhun feudal towns of Zhenwu and Tiande in Hequ have been defeated by Yu Jian, and they completely surrendered to the Qin army. Now they are marching southward together with [-] troops, and they will reach Bojin in a short time."

Li Quanzhong was silent for a long time, his fists were clenched tightly, his joints turned white and creaked.

With 20 soldiers and horses, Pujin will definitely not be able to defend it.And that's not all, there is Lin Wei's [-] troops in front of Tongguan.

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, we should retreat early!" the aide said, considering the current situation, it is really at stake.What's the point of holding on.The court of Chang'an is doomed. If there is no skin, there will be no hair.Early planning is naturally the meaning of surrender.So many feudal towns were driven down by the Qin army, and there was no one to stop the Qin army from west.No matter how hard you struggle, it's just a mantis blocking the car.

How could Li Quanzhong not know this, but even now, it is still difficult for him to make up his mind to surrender to Li Jing.Back then when he was in Hebei, he once captured Yiwu and Lulong Towns, but in the end, Li Jing picked the peaches and was forced to leave Hebei.It was not easy to earn another piece of foundation in Guanzhong, but who would have thought that after only a few years, he was facing the original situation again, which was even worse than before.He could still leave Hebei back then, but now, where can he go?

"This world is so big that there is no place for someone to stand!"

"Why don't you surrender to Qin? In the current situation, your arms won't be able to twist your thighs. If that's the case, if the king surrenders to Qin from the Tonghua two states at this time, it will be meritorious."

"Rong Mou think about it again." Li Quanzhong sighed, waved to the staff, and the staff retreated lightly, leaving only Li Quanzhong in the room, he sighed and couldn't make a decision.

Pujin Pass.

Pujin Pass is also known as Pusan ​​Pass, also known as Linjin Pass.It is a pass city built on the west bank of the Yellow River, and it is actually the bridgehead castle on the west bank of the Pujin Bridge.Pujin Bridge is the largest bridge connecting Hedong and Guanzhong. This important bridge connects Qin and Jin Dynasties. Four [-]-jin iron oxen were built on each side to fix more than a dozen large iron cables across the Yellow River.

The complete bridge has Pujin Pass on the west side of the river, and a castle on the east side of the river.And even in the middle of the river, there is also a castle.The castle was built on a sandy state in the middle of the river, similar to the Heyang Bridge between Luoyang and Heyang. It has the shape of a bridge with three passes. A pass is built at the bridge head on both sides of the river. A Zhongli City was established, with extremely strong military defense capabilities.

Because of this, although the Qin army occupied the river, the Pujin defenders did not destroy the river bridge, because the river bridge was too difficult to capture.

The defender of Pujin Pass is Li Quanzhong's second son Li Kuangchou, but now, his elder brother Li Kuangwei retreated from Feng Yi's army and retreated to Pujin City, but the command of the pass was immediately transferred to Li Kuangwei's hands.

Li Kuangwei is arrogant and domineering, nicknamed the Golden Head King, Feng Yi retreated into Pujin, first seized the power of his brother, and then did not discuss the defense strategy, but set up a banquet instead, eating and drinking.Seeing this, Li Kuangchou felt dissatisfied, but because he was the eldest son, he could only keep his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Li Kuangchou returned to Pujin Pass from Zhongli City early in the morning. As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard a burst of crying.He recognized that it was Madam's voice, felt very bad, and hurried in, only to see Madam's crying coming from the bedroom.He rushed away in shock, only to see his wife with disheveled hair and swollen eyes, crying non-stop.Next to her is a group of maids who are holding Madam and persuading her.Looking again, I saw a white silk hanging from the beam in the middle of the room, and an overturned drum stool on the ground.

This, what's going on?

When the wife saw him, she cried even harder and wanted to hang herself again.

Li Kuangchou was very anxious and hurried to hug his wife.

After a long time, Li Kuangchou yelled, "I'm going to kill this beast!" Then he strode out of the room with a drawn sword, startling everyone.Li Kuangchou rushed out with his sword in hand, and when he was blown by the wind outside the courtyard, his mind immediately calmed down a lot.

He stopped, gritted his teeth, his face was cloudy and uncertain, he thought for a long time, and finally cast a bitter glance at the general's mansion where Li Kuangwei temporarily lived in the east of the city, and stomped back to the mansion.For Li Kuangchou, from now on, that person is no longer his elder brother.He never imagined that this arrogant but incompetent elder brother could do such a thing that is inferior to a beast.Just yesterday when he went to patrol Zhongcheng City, Li Kuangwei was still having a banquet in the city, drinking and having fun, and then in the middle of the night, he suddenly came to his mansion with his guards.In the end, this beast who was going to look for him, got drunk and forcibly annihilated his beautiful sister-in-law.

After doing such a thing, Li Kuangwei walked away swaggeringly as if nothing happened.

Li Kuangchou could never bear such an insult.He was furious just now, and he was about to chop that beast with his sword.But halfway through, he woke up again.Although Li Kuangwei is incompetent, he now controls Pujinguan City.If he came to the door like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to get any reason, but would be poisoned instead.

"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Li Kuangchou cursed angrily, turned around and went back to the mansion, entered the study, and began to write letters with a brush.

In the General's Mansion in Dongcheng, Li Kuangwei was sitting on the couch with a glass of red wine in one hand and a pink silky fabric in the other. It was a silk apron with a feminine fragrance. It was his last night booty.His beautiful sister-in-law's personal belongings, when he saw the obscene clothes, he couldn't help but think of the fiercely resisted but extremely white and soft breasts last night, the snow white towering under the little clothes.The fierce resistance under that beautiful face, and the appearance of groaning and begging for mercy under him...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel blood rushing all over his body, and a silver evil smile appeared on his face immediately.

"How's it going over there?" he asked.After doing this absurd thing, his heart was agitated, but in fact it was still a little unnatural.After all, she is a brother's wife!

"The major general returned to the mansion after dawn, raised his sword and went out half an hour later, and then...then bowed his head and went back!" The Yajiang who replied said this, with a bit of disdain on his face, this Li Kuangchou is really too useless.

"Hahaha! Is that so? Very good!" Li Kuangchou couldn't help being taken aback when he heard his brother's reaction, and then burst out laughing. "Well, go get some good wine, and stay drunk tonight!"

Feng Yicheng.

Li Jing repeatedly read the letter in his hand several times, bowing his head in thought.

"Your Highness, be careful of the enemy's tricks!" Wang Yanzhang said.

Li Jing raised his head, "What do you think about this matter?"

Gao Siji thought for a while: "I think that this matter is very likely to be true. If the Li Kuangwei brothers want to cheat, then they have to make up a better story. But what Li Kuangchou wrote in the letter is too much. Unbelievable, if this is not true, brother and sister-in-law, who can use it as an excuse? Some people think that this is very likely to be true. Therefore, Li Kuangchou wrote this letter after suffering such a great humiliation."

Li Jing also agrees with Gao Siji's analysis, but he is not in a hurry to make a decision.

"Guo Wei, you are an elite in the intelligence community, and I will leave this matter to you to verify the authenticity of the matter. Be quick, and I will know the authenticity before dark!"

Guo Wei has just been promoted to the rank of major general not long ago, he can be called a rising star in the army, especially his brother Guo Tao was also promoted to the rank of major general with him. splendid.The two heroes of the Guo family, Guo Wei, the iron beast, and Guo Tao, the bully, are now very popular.King Qin ordered a general, and Guo Wei naturally obeyed immediately.

This newly promoted major general, who was newly nicknamed Iron Beast, is indeed an elite of the military intelligence department. In less than half a day, when it was dark, he had already reported to Li Jing.According to the report of the secret agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau lurking in Pujin City, what Li Kuangchou wrote in the letter is true, and Li Kuangwei did indeed do something like annihilating his sister-in-law.

After confirming this information, everyone became excited.

This is really God helping me. At this time, Pujin City is in chaos, so it is not bringing Pujin City to our door.

In the river, Puzhou.

The smile on the face of Cui Anqian, the left-behind General of the Qin Army in the Hezhong Prefecture, became brighter and brighter. He slapped the table heavily, "Pujin is ready to go, pass on my general order, tonight we will make dinner at the second watch, and gather at the third watch!"

night.

The Pujin Bridge hangs across the Yellow River, the sound of the rushing waves of the Yellow River keeps ringing, and the night wind carries the fishy smell of the Yellow River water into the air.A team of engineers from the Qin Army was working silently on the Pujin Bridge. They were holding a piece of wood, and they were quickly laying bridge boards on the bare iron chain bridge.

The bridge deck was laid forward quickly, and soon reached the Zhongli City on the sandbar in the middle of the river.Zhongli City is not too big, but it is firmly stuck on the Pujin Bridge. It is true that one man guards the gate, and no one can open it.With the tall bridge fort, the solid iron gate, the dense arrow towers on the fort, and the arrow holes on the wall of the fort, as long as you defend here and try to break through from the outside, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky.

While laying the bridge slabs forward, the engineers and soldiers looked up at Zhonglu City from time to time, feeling extremely nervous.

"Gah!~" The closed city gate slowly opened, and the Qin army on the bridge erected iron shields in front of them, staring nervously ahead.

The city gate opened, and a group of soldiers came out from inside, followed by a general. A soldier on his horse was holding a white flag, which was particularly conspicuous under the moonlight.

Seeing this scene, Qin Jun was all relieved.

"Under General Li Kuangchou's subordinates, I am here to welcome the brothers of the Qin Army under the general's order!"

"Where is General Li Kuangchou?" Captain Qin Jun who came to the front asked.

"To avoid attracting attention, General Li is staying in the Guancheng right now, and he specially asked someone to come to welcome you." The general saw the vigilance of the Qin army officer, and quickly said: "This is General Li Kuangchou's wife and sister!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

The captain quickly sent someone to report back to the rear team, and soon Cui Anqian sent an order to cross the river immediately.

The striker Qin Jun quickly entered Zhongli City and quickly took over Zhongli City.Then, the follow-up troops began to flow the river.

On the west bank of Pujin Bridge, the bridgehead is Pujin City, and the west gate of Pujin is the west bridgehead of Pujin Bridge.

Under the night, the soldiers and horses who had been quietly walking under the west gate stopped.Li Kuangchou's brother-in-law asked his men to light five lanterns.

After waiting for a while, five lanterns were also lit up on the city.

Then, several sounds of gold and iron clashing suddenly came from the city, and then, while everyone was waiting anxiously, the city gate creaked open.Li Kuangchou was in armor, holding a bloody knife in his hand, standing outside the door and shouting: "Go into the city!"

Captain Qin Jun looked it over and waved behind him, "Go!" He took the lead and rushed to Guancheng first.

The Qin army quickly rushed into the west gate, and seized the west tower for the first time, and then, under the leadership of Li Kuangchou, quickly attacked the Guancheng.Because of the danger of Zhongli City, Pujin City's defensive center of gravity has always been on the east side, and the key defense has already captured Li Jing's large troops in Fengyi City.Xicheng did not have many soldiers and horses for defense, and Zhongli City was used by Li Kuangwei to house Li Kuangchou's original Pujin Pass guards.

Li Kuang planned to surrender to Qin, and suggested to Li Jing that the inside should cooperate with the outside, and the direction of the surprise attack was not the east but the west behind.Because he controlled Zhongli City, the most dangerous Pujin Bridge became the smoothest and smoothest way.Even Li Kuangchou voluntarily opened the relatively weak west gate for the Qin army at a critical moment.

Li Kuangchou has been stationed in Pujin for a long time, and he is very familiar with this place. The plan he made was approved by Li Jing.Directly sent an order to Cui Anqian in Hezhong, asking him to lead his troops to cooperate with Li Kuangchou.

However, there was another very important reason why they were able to capture the West City Gate so smoothly tonight.

Just after dark, Li Jing led the main army and suddenly launched a night attack on Pujin Guandong City. The offensive was enough to attract the attention of most of Li Kuangwei's troops.It made the guards in the west city even weaker, which gave Li Kuangchou an opportunity to take advantage of.

Li Kuangwei was commanding the defense in Dongcheng with a half-drunk feeling. Seeing that the Qin army had fought for most of the night without breaking through the defense of the city gate, he couldn't help but proudly said: "It is said that the Qin army is invincible, and Li Jing is unparalleled. I saw you today." , but that's all!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of shouting and killing in the west of the city.

A school lieutenant galloped up and rushed over, shouting in embarrassment: "General, something is wrong. The second general suddenly led someone to overthrow the guards at the west gate and lead the Qin army into the city!"

Li Kuangwei, who was complacent, didn't expect things to turn so abruptly. He froze on the spot, his face was swollen, his mouth was wide open and he couldn't say a word. Finally, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

Cui Anqian attacked Pujinguan City from the west gate, and the defenders in the city could no longer stop the Qin army and quickly collapsed.At this time, even if they wanted to escape, they had nowhere to escape. Li Jing's tens of thousands of troops stopped outside the city, and in the end they could only flee in all directions, or abandon their weapons and surrender.At dawn, the Qin army had completely occupied Pujin Pass, and all the defenders surrendered, including Li Kuangwei, none of them were missed.

At the same time that Pujin fell, Yu Kun finally led [-] soldiers including Tiande and Zhenwu to go south. They did not join forces with Feng Yi, but went directly along the Beiluo River, passing through Baoda's Fufang Zhuzhou. , Entering and attacking Fengxian and Meiyuan in the northeast of Jingzhaofu, until Fuping, Megatron to the north of the capital.

On the same day, the Qin army in Tongzhou split up and quickly captured Chaoyi and Xiayu on the north bank of the Weihe River, fully occupying Tongzhou.

On the third day, the Qin army crossed the Weihe River and occupied Weinan and Huazhou City in the south of Beijing.

Tongguan, after being occupied by the Qin army in the north, was cut off from the passage to the capital, and the west was also cut off.

On the fifth day, Lin Wei captured the entire territory of Shaanxi and Guozhou, and [-] troops came to the city of Tongguan.

On the seventh day, in Li Quanzhong's Tongguan City, Lin Wei led 15 elite troops to station at Dongmenguan, Li Jing led Cui Anqian, Wang Yanzhang and others led [-] troops to encircle the north of Tongguan, and Yu Guan led [-] troops to the west of Tongguan. Huayin Guanxi Station.

Faced with numerous sieges, Li Quanzhong had no choice but to face the envoy sent by Li Jing, and finally agreed to switch and lead his troops to surrender.

On November [-]th, Li Jing entered Tongguan to accept the surrender. Li Quanzhong handed over the tiger talisman soldier seal, the roster of military books, money, food and equipment, and surrendered on his knees.

During this period, General Zeng Yuanyu of the Qin Army led an army to the south of Luoyang alone.When Li Jing crossed the river and entered the pass, Zeng Yuanyu also fought in Dengzhou with the coalition forces of Liu Jurong, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan.Zeng Yuanyu did not continue to pursue, but marched westward and entered Shangzhou.

On the third day after Qin Jun took Tongguan, Zeng Yuanyu lived up to his expectations and headed north along Danshui.It was almost like retracing Gao Renhou's way of entering the pass. On November 25th, Zeng Yuanyu attacked Wuguan, which was guarded by Sanchuan soldiers and horses.Taking advantage of the victory, they went northward, successively descending to Shangluo and Shangluo, and on November [-], they conquered Lantian Pass.

Changan.

This capital of the Tang Dynasty, once the most prosperous capital in the world, has lost count of how many times its gates have been breached and occupied by barbarians.

Although Yang Fugong returned to Chang'an in a hurry, how could an eunuch beat a fierce general?Although Yang Fugong possessed a favorable location and had more troops than the Xichuan Army, there was still a huge gap between a group of magical forbidden troops led by eunuchs and the Shu army led by a famous general.

As early as when Li Jing captured Pujin, Gao Renhou broke through Chang'an City.Yang Fugong was defeated like a mountain, and he didn't even have time to go back to the city to take away the emperor, so he was killed by the Sichuan army and fled to Fengxiang in panic.Chang'an City fell directly into the hands of Gao Renhou, from the emperor Li Ye to the prime minister and ministers, none of them had time to escape.Fortunately, after Gao Renhou captured Chang'an, he strictly enforced military discipline and sealed off the palace and imperial city early. Although the emperor and others were under house arrest, at least the safety of life and property was guaranteed.

Although Gao Renhou captured Chang'an and got food and other supplies, he was not happy at all.

He couldn't be happy. As he had expected, once the Sichuan army betrayed Chang'an, even though they captured Shangzhou and Jinzhou in a short period of time, and even entered Chang'an, they captured Chang'an as well.But what's the point of this, Tian Lingzi stabbed Yang Fugong very hard, and Yang Fugong was directly stabbed to death by this knife, but in the end, the biggest winner was Li Jing.

Now, their way back to Sichuan is blocked.

"Gao Shuai, Mr. Tian sent a letter, telling me not to stick to Chang'an, he has already led the magic strategy army to drive to Chang'an!" Tian Jingzhong trotted all the way over, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat in the cold weather.

Gao Renhou heard this, but was not moved in the slightest.At this time, Tian Lingzi still wants to return to Chang'an and take charge of the government again, which is really a daydream.If he is sober, the best choice at this time is to let them retreat westward to Qizhou, from Sanguan to Jiannan.It is best to take away the emperor of Chang'an, all the officials, wealth and other things together.In this way, the natural dangers in the middle of Sichuan, depending on the location and the name of the court, may last for a few years.

But if you stick to Guanzhong, you are looking for death, and bringing the emperor to Guanzhong is even more courting death.

The four fortresses in Guanzhong, Tongguan and Wuguan are all lost. Zhenwu, Tiande, Baoda, Dingnan, and Tonghua have all been annexed by Qin Fan. How can they resist Li Jing?

Chen Jingzhong lingered at Gao Renhou's place for a long time, Gao Renhou didn't give him any good looks, but Chen Jingzhong still didn't dare to be full, now it's different from the past.

After Chen Jingzhong left, Gao Renhou sat in front of the desk and pondered for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh of resignation.He also wanted to kill the thief, but he was powerless.If Tian Lingzi hadn't been short-sighted, perhaps things could be remedied, but by now, it was too late.The overall situation is clear, no one can stop Li Jing's footsteps.

"Commander, lieutenant Li Maozhen asks to see you!" the guard reported from outside the account.

Gao Renhou frowned slightly when he heard this name. As a general in command, he might not be able to remember the names of every soldier under him, but he remembered almost all the names of the officers under him.Li Maozhen is just a small capital, what does he mean when he suddenly came to ask for an interview.In the past, he was unlikely to see him.But at this moment, he frowned, and finally said, "Let him in."

Li Maozhen entered the hall led by the guards, feeling a little apprehensive.However, fame and wealth, a gamble here will also strengthen a bit of courage.

"What do you want to see?" Gao Renhou sized up Li Maozhen a few times, with a sense of majesty in his tone.

Li Mao swallowed his throat, and boldly said: "The humble official has always admired the might of the commander in chief, and coming here today is to point out a clear path for the commander in chief."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Renhou's face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he slapped the table heavily with his palm, and there was a loud bang: "How courageous!"

Li Maozhen was almost frightened by the loud noise and fell to her knees. With difficulty, she managed to stabilize her mind. She gritted her teeth and stiffened her neck, and continued: "The king of Qin asked someone to tell the commander that the chaos in the world is about to end, and the court just needs the commander's help." Wait for talented civil and military men. Besides, the general situation in the world today has been divided, so why bother to commit crimes and increase the harm. Please also ask the commander-in-chief to look at the innocent people in the world and for the sake of those soldiers. Keep your vitality!"

Seeing that Gao Renhou seemed to be loosening up, Li Maozhen continued to talk more and more.As for Gao Renhou who sat at the top, although his face was still gloomy, he didn't stop him from persuading him, he just frowned urgently, as if he was struggling.

Gao Renhou finally spoke when Li Maozhen's throat was smoldering and her mouth was foaming.

"The commander-in-chief wants to meet His Royal Highness King Qin in person, can you arrange it?"

Li Maozhen was overjoyed, and Gao Renhou was willing to meet the King of Qin, so he was advised to do so.He nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, I will report this to King Qin immediately."

"Well, the sooner this matter is the better, remember not to publicize it!" Gao Ren said kindly.

"Understood, I understand." Li Maozhen almost couldn't believe it was true, Gao Renhou was moved by his words?But the fact is so, he didn't have time to worry, he nodded and quit.
