Chapter 633 Entering Chang'an

I don't know what conditions Li Longji will put forward, but in the eyes of others, Li Longji has given up the imperial power, and it is not too much to raise a condition.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hua suddenly became furious, and he roared in a low voice: "Who was the number one general in the blood camp in the past? What will happen now?"

What he was referring to was Ge Shuhan. Ge Shuhan was originally ill, but Li Longji forced him to go to the expedition because of his illness. After the expedition, because of his perseverance, he defeated the rebels several times, and also won a turning point for Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi.However, because of Yang Guozhong's framing, Ge Shuhan was forced to lead a weak army to fight, and his life and death are unknown now.

"That year, Feng Changqing came to vote in Lingzhou in the winter night. It was a good story. From Hedong to Hebei to Henan, the rebel army passed by, and the Tang Dynasty army was either defeated or surrendered. He went to Luoyang alone, without using a single soldier from the court. , All the soldiers were recruited from Luoyang by him. He rushed to the battle, although he failed because of pride, and then immediately made the correct arrangement with Gao Xianzhi. And he is still a Han, why did you kill him?"

While talking, Wang Hua came to Li Longji with a fierce look in his eyes.

If it wasn't for Li Chiying's face, he might have killed him immediately out of anger.Anyway, there are still a few princes and grandchildren, all of whom are in Chang'an, and they won't be able to escape for a while, and the other princes and grandchildren who are in other places are not in the same place, so they have nothing to worry about.

"Let me ask you again, when I handed over the Northwest to you, singing and dancing were peaceful, what is it like now?"

At that time, Wang Hua invested a lot of money in reclaiming farmland and constructing water conservancy, turning the northwest into a land of fish and rice.Moreover, he was vigorously afforesting, and he gradually saw the benefits. Young forests grew up. After all, desertification was not as serious as later generations, and the short-lived plants he brought in had also achieved results in moving the fixed sand dunes.The area of ​​the Gobi Desert and the desert in Nanhetao began to decrease. From Huaiyuan City to the west survey of the Yinshan Yellow River, there used to be a large section of the Gobi Desert in the middle, but now it has begun to connect into patches of green land.

But the good times didn't last long. During the Tianbao period, as Li Longji ignored political affairs and Wang Hua had no contact with the Central Plains, someone extended his hand here.Slowly, many places were divided up by dignitaries.Moreover, the Turks were weak, and many Hu people were resettled here, and began a nomadic life again.

The common people dare not speak out, after all, this is the territory of the imperial court.

After Wang Hua came back this time, when he heard about this, he was furious.It's like he heard in his previous life that a place was being demolished, and the government sold 20 yuan per mu of land, but only 5000 yuan was in the hands of the people.So the people protested, and the leaders arrested and suppressed them, saying that it was the land of the country.

What is the land of the country?The country belongs to the people, and the land also belongs to the people.Do these officials represent the people?It is very doubtful how much of this money will actually enter the country's pockets and local infrastructure.

Of course, his power was very small in his previous life, but it is different now, so he promised the people that he would definitely give them justice.

Who knew that Li Longji raised his head and asked in confusion: "Isn't Longyou very good now?"

It's not that I don't read the local memorials, but I don't read much. I also saw the situation in Longyou, saying that the people are rich and rich.Is there something wrong.

Wang Hua was very angry. At this time, Li Longji had indeed become a fool, unable to communicate.It is estimated that if you ask him how many fine hairs Yang Yuhuan has on his body, he can answer it.But when asked about political affairs, nine times out of ten the stone fell into the well and there was a bang.

But Li Longji didn't know, but Gao Lishi heard a little bit. He came over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is wrong, and you can't regret it now. The big deal is one condition. If you can agree, you can agree. If you can't, let the servants Please advise Your Majesty."

Gao Lishi clearly felt Wang Hua's anger and murderous intent just a moment ago.

Wang Hua took a few steps before saying, "Okay, tell me, what's the condition?"

"I just want you to capture the two thieves An Lushan and Shi Siming alive and let me deal with them."

This condition is not too difficult. It is estimated that Li Longji also hates these two barbarians to death.If it wasn't for their rebellion, how could it be Wang Hua's turn to force the palace today.

"Okay, I promise you." Wang Hua replied loudly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Although Wang Hua forced the palace, leaving Li Longji and killing Li Longji are two different things.In particular, some Habayashi soldiers planned to hang out with Wang Hua in their hearts, and hoped that Wang Hua would complete the transition of power smoothly.

But Wang Hua turned around, looked at Li Mi and asked, "Mr. Li, can you join me to create a great era."

Li Mi smiled bitterly. Since he was called a little friend by the famous prime minister Zhang Jiuling when he was a few years old, he has been famous all over the world.So Li Longji asked him to play and study with Li Heng.Later, when he was older, Li Longji appointed him an official position, but he saw that Li Yang was in power, so he resolutely refused.So Li Longji asked him to continue to be friends with Li Heng as a commoner, and Li Heng respected him very much and called him Mr.

But even so, he was hated by Yang Guozhong, so he moved to Qichun County, and Li Mi simply returned to his hometown Yingshui and became a hermit.Originally lived in seclusion, but some time ago he suddenly felt his heart flutter, so he made a hexagram, up and down, and the sun is above the blue sky, so it is called Dayou, which is a rare upper and upper hexagram among the 64 hexagrams.

The original meaning of this hexagram is that the six and five soft lines of the hexagram occupy the honorable position (mostly there is only one yin line, which is in the second place, the four yang lines below are the base, and there is a yang cover on the top, so it is said), so the yang lines They all conform to it, so they are extremely prosperous.

But the political situation at this time was not very good, and Anlu Mountain was in a state of invincibility, so Li Mi was puzzled, and even made three hexagrams, all of which were the same.So I couldn't help but came to the capital again, but Li Longji started to run away as soon as he arrived in the capital.In addition to what happened to Ma Zaipo, he thought that this hexagram should be on Li Heng.But he didn't expect the situation to change, Wang Hua suddenly brought someone here.

He felt at a loss in his heart, and when he was thinking, Wang Hua pressed him repeatedly.

Maybe it's the husband now, if he doesn't agree, he will immediately become "die first".

He sighed and said, "Do I still have a choice?"

Wang Hua didn't give up, and said with a smile, "You have no choice."

Li Mi was even more helpless at Wang Hua's "brazenness". He cupped his hands and said, "If you want me to help, the chief executive must also agree to my request and treat the clan well."

As he said that, he glanced at Li Heng, who was somewhat resentful, with a bitter look on his face.

I can only help Li Heng so much.

"It doesn't matter, I was originally for the country and the people. The Li family is still the royal family. In addition to returning the real power to the people, what my family enjoys, they will also enjoy." The constitutional monarchy has undergone some reform changes, so why not add another royal family?

Hearing this, Li Mi felt a little at ease.

Wang Hua started making arrangements again.First, he and Li Hong's grandson Wang Yuanmu and Liu Tong's grandson Liu Yang were ordered to return to Chang'an with 200 troops and Gao Lishi to accompany them.

Go to rescue the two, the first one is Concubine Mei, this is the request Shangguan Wan'er once made.From the bottom of his heart, Wang Hua admired this talented woman very much, at least more than Yang Yuhuan.He even thought in his heart that if this old ashes picker, Jiang Caiping was still the same when she came back, she could make decisions for her and force her to remarry.

There is another person, Wang Wei, who thinks of Wang Wei, and thinks of Zhou Zuoren. The situations encountered by the two people are the same, but they are very against their will to surrender to the enemy.But as a literati, he lacks strength and is a little afraid of death, so he is depressed all his life.

But Wang Hua liked poetry, calligraphy, music and painting very much, so he rescued him with a little help.

In addition to these two people, there are a few people who must be saved.The first is Li Bai, and the second is Du Fu. After the Anshi Rebellion, their lives were very bitter.But they are not in any danger for the time being, and can be arranged later.There are two other people, one is Zhang Xun and the other is Xu Yuan.These are two brave men, and Wang Hua didn't want Ju Yuancheng to guard the back, and that tragedy happened.

As for whether other people are dead or alive, Wang Hua doesn't want to care about it.

Gao Lishi hesitated, Wang Hua said angrily, "Even my grandson went together, what are you afraid of, old servant?"

The whole world dared to call him an old slave, and only Wang Hua was alone.

However, Wang Hua couldn't guarantee it, so he repeatedly told him that if the rebels entered the city, it would be fine.

Then they arranged for people to go back to Longyou Lingwu in Chencang to transfer a batch of grain.Otherwise, with so many people here, Wang Hua himself didn't bring much food, and he didn't have any food at once, so why fight?

Longyou Lingwu King Hua is not afraid, he has a good mass base, that is, the Chencang hurdle, although the food will not raise a lot, but it is very critical, we can't wait for the grain allocation from Lanzhou Lingzhou, can't wait, don't watch Seeing that these Habayashi soldiers are all hungry and skinny, with green eyes?Therefore, we must first mobilize a batch of grain from Chencang to meet the urgent need.

The officials of Chencang had no effect in speaking, so they asked Li Longji to issue an edict to take them there.

After arranging these two things, he began to order the soldiers of the Habayashi Army to dig trenches.

On the sloping land of Mazai Slope, five trenches were dug.There is no way to retreat anymore. Once the soldiers lose their vigor, the people in distress will take one more step back, and the rebel army will become fiercer.But he dared not go any further.Although they have guns in their hands, they have limited bullets in order to catch up with the speed.

The most terrible thing is that Li Longji, a stupid king, gave many artillery pieces to Anlu Mountain. In addition, there are a large number of artillery pieces in Chang'an City and Tongguan. It is estimated that most of them fell into the hands of the rebels.Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty has been trying to imitate artillery all these years, but it has not been imitated, otherwise it would be even worse.

The enemy's firepower is also very strong, and there are powerful longbows to cooperate.

So dig trenches to do the fortifications.Do a good job of defense first and wait for the arrival of large forces.

But all of this, including Gao Lishi's trip to Chang'an, was done in secret and was not made public.Li Longji underestimated An Lushan, and even historians deliberately belittled An Lushan.But Wang Hua did not underestimate this person. This person has been a power in the frontier for decades, rebelling all the way south, and is invincible.Is it true that the world is peaceful for a long time?

If he knew that he was in Mazaipo and that he did not have many troops, then he had to use his best troops to wipe out himself and all the troops he led.

Not only that, but the news was deliberately blocked.

Of course, it won't take long to hide the truth, but once the army arrives at that time, they will no longer be afraid of Anlu Mountain.If he dared to fight against him, it would be just in line with Wang Hua's taste.

It was getting dark, and they had a simple dinner with the dry food brought by Wang Hua.

At this time, I saw that Wang Hua was different from Li Longji.

Wang Hua slept in the tent outside like the soldiers, and like everyone else, a mosquito net and a mosquito coil were very simple.However, he did not fall asleep temporarily, but called Li Mi into the tent to discuss.

However, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan slept together in the post station, and they couldn't get used to sleeping in the wild.But the two of them were not very happy, and they were crying softly while hugging their heads.

At the same time, there were two other people who were worried about Zhong Zhong.

Li Heng said to Zhang Liangdi: "Aifei, go to sleep, no one will hurt us tonight."

Immediately even the emperor was deposed, who would hurt me, the crown prince?

A trace of resignation appeared in Zhang Liangdi's eyes, and she said: "Your Highness, not necessarily, the rebel forces, now that His Majesty abandons Chang'an, it will increase their power even more. If Wang Hua wants to put down this person, the loss will be very serious. Prince, Yi For the sake of my concubine, you quietly write a letter to the two generals Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, asking them to secretly help you regain the glory of the royal family."

It means that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit.Let Wang Hua fight with An Lushan, but instruct the generals who agree with the Tang royal family to take the opportunity to preserve their strength, and when Wang An fights to Guan Jian, they will be wiped out.

Looks like a great idea!

But the curtain was raised, and a person walked in, saying: "Crown Princess, don't move for now."

Li Mi walked in.

Seeing Li Mi, the noble couple turned their heads and ignored them.

Li Mi smiled wryly, and said: "Prince, it's not that I'm sacrificing peace with Wang Hua today. It's the general trend. He has already set his sights on me. If I don't agree, he will kill me. What's the benefit of my death for Your Highness? There is no benefit, so why die in vain? If you survive, you can think of a good strategy for your highness, and you can fight for more wealth for your highness if you retreat. This is the original intention of this minister."

"Then why are you here?" Li Heng was still a little confused, this was what Zhang Liangdi said.

"Wang Hua and I discussed the military situation just now. This time he will dispatch 48 troops, not only to pacify Anlu Mountain, but also to deal with Tubo, Jiahu, Tuqishi, Bohai, Khitan, the Xi people, and Goryeo. It's an unprecedented change," said Li Mi, who was also fascinated.If this is the case, then a truly great era has arrived.

However, his relationship with Li Heng is both a teacher and a friend. Assisting Wang Hua will inevitably crush the Tang royal family, which makes him feel very painful and has no choice.

After settling his mind, he said: "If he really has this power, it is better for the crown prince not to block it. If not, then he is not facing the challenge of a powerful enemy. We can sit on the sidelines and wait for the opportunity. In fact, there is no need to wait too long It will take a long time, as long as it takes more than ten days, you will be able to see it."

This group of Habayashi soldiers can be domineering, but in the face of real swords and guns, they all become softies.Wang Hua just said what he said for an hour, and one by one defected.

Therefore, if you want to see the combat effectiveness of Wang Hua's army, only after more than ten days, An Lushan will send troops to pursue after hearing that Li Longji will stay in Mazaipo.Then a war is bound to happen.If the fighting power of Wang Hua's army was terrible, coupled with the huge number of troops, it would be useless for Li Heng to resist, and the other Tang Dynasty troops also did not dare to resist.If Wang Hua talked too much, the first battle would bring them out of their original shape.An Lushan's army is not vegetarian.

Speaking of this, Li Mi looked at the sky, feeling extremely irritable.

A round of moon rose in the sky, with puddles of blood, shining with a strange light.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
On the fifth day, when Wang Hua's dry rations were almost exhausted, Xue Jingxian, magistrate of Chencang County, brought the first batch of rations.

In fact, Xue Jingxian also vaguely knew that Wang Hua had brought his men to Ma Zaipo, otherwise Li Longji would have retreated.

He couldn't guess what changes would happen when Wang Hua came here.The good thing is to help the royal family, and the bad thing is to learn from Cao Cao and take the opportunity to control the Tang royal family, but no matter the result, it is better than letting An Lushan win the world.Therefore, they cooperated without saying a word.

Not only that, when the mutiny occurred in Mazaipo, Mrs. Guo Guo heard that Yang Guozhong was killed and the emperor wanted to force Yang Yuhuan to commit suicide, so she immediately took Yang Guozhong's wife Pei Rou, Guo Zhong's son Yang Xi, and her son Pei Hui to escape.He fled to Chencang, and was informed by county magistrate Xue Jingxian, who personally led his troops to chase him.

In fact, all loyal and upright people in the world are resentful of Yang's deeds.But the emperor loves her so much, there is nothing he can do about it, if he doesn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury, let alone when.

Mrs. Guo Guo was forced to flee into a bamboo forest. Seeing that there was no way to go, she didn't want to be bullied, so she killed Pei Rou, Pei Hui and Yang Xi, and then slayed herself.It can be seen that this woman is not only beautiful, but also fierce.

But the knife was cut softly, she didn't die, she was captured by Xue Jingxian, and she was locked up in prison, but she was not afraid, and calmly asked who was the one who arrested her, and soon, she died of suffocation due to bleeding from the cut wound, and was buried in Chencang outskirts.

Xue Jingxian sent someone to report the matter.

This Mrs. Guo Guo also had an affair with Li Longji.Li Longji's face was sad when he heard this, but he didn't make a sound.

Wang Hua immediately exposed the grain to the sun, because he was in a hurry, and there was a heavy rain on the road, and he got wet.But it's better than no grain.

Five trenches gradually took shape, and there are many small longitudinal trenches between them, which can communicate with each other.These ditches were like moats under Mazai Slope, and everyone gradually settled down.

On the eighth day, Wang Hua received another piece of good news, and the rear troops were worried about his safety.However, the itinerary would not be fast enough, with a large amount of luggage, weapons and ammunition, as well as food and grass, so another [-] war horses were raised in Longyou, [-] horses were used as pack horses, and another [-] war horses were brought with them. Thousands of soldiers and fifty mortars rushed over.

This made Wang Hua more confident.

It was a headache. The artillery he left to the Tang Dynasty back then has become his biggest opponent today.

Two days later, Gao Lishi, Wang Yuanmu and Liu Yang came back.

An Lushan did not expect that Li Longji was so afraid of death, after all, Chang'an City was too tall to attack, but Li Longji ran away before seeing the shadow of the enemy.It was only after Bian Lingcheng, a left-behind official in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, that he "voted for integrity" that he knew that the dragons in Chang'an had no leader.Therefore, Cui Gan was allowed to stay in Tongguan ten days later, Sun Xiaozhe led his troops into Chang'an, and appointed Zhang Tongru as Xijing Liuguo, and Cui Guangyuan as Jing Zhaoyin.These two are officials of the Tang Dynasty, but Cui Guangshou rat both ends, but Zhang Tongru has completely fallen.

It was not only Zhang Tongru who fell, but also the Zhang brothers, Chen Xilie and others, who made An Lushan the prime minister.Then arrest courtiers, eunuchs and court ladies, and send troops to escort them to Luoyang every time hundreds of people are caught.Kill all the princes and generals who followed Li Longji to take refuge but whose family members are still in Chang'an, including babies.Under the combination of grace and coercion, all the remaining officials surrendered. Suddenly, the rebel forces flourished, threatening Longzhou and Qianzhou in the west, invading the Jiangnan and Han River basins in the south, and capturing the east of the river in the north. half.

But at this time, Sun Xiaozhe's army had not yet entered Chang'an.

But the situation in Chang'an City is very bad, fortunately Cui Guangyuan maintained order, otherwise it would be even more chaotic.

In this chaotic atmosphere, it was extremely difficult to find two people, especially Wang Wei, who was just a small matter.

After searching for a few days, they were finally found.But Gao Lishi saw that a group of princes and grandchildren were very pitiful. There were quite a few of them. Although he secretly entered the capital, he still got the wind to report that the emperor had received strong support from Mazaipo. If he wanted to survive, he should immediately flee to Mazai slope.

The news spread quickly because Gao Lishi's business was very secretive. He originally wanted to find Bian Lingcheng to bring the artillery out, but later he heard that Bian Lingcheng had rebelled, so he didn't dare to ask for it. He found someone and left immediately.The ministers either believed or doubted, some had already accepted the false posts and stayed, some did not believe and stayed, but there are still many ministers and people, as well as the princes and grandsons, who fled to the west together.

It was only when I came to Mazai Slope that I realized that the sky had changed.

But Wang Hua has already controlled everything. In order to keep secret, even the common people are controlled behind Ma Zaipo.

But there are still too many people coming, and it also makes the food shortage again.

Noisy to the end of the month.

Sun Xiaozhe finally heard about it.After arriving in Chang'an, he was dazzled by the prosperity of Chang'an and the wealth of the imperial palace, so he only cared about robbing. Even Li Longji's Liyuan disciples, musical instruments and dance clothes were sent to Luoyang.The rest of the soldiers thought they were successful, and they only cared about their sensuality, drinking day and night for pleasure.

So the precious time dragged on day by day without realizing it.

Hearing that Li Longji was still staying in Mazaipo, Sun Xiaozhe couldn't believe it. He had such courage long ago, so why did he abandon Chang'an and flee?

But I heard more rumors, so I sent scouts to investigate.Sure enough, he really stayed in Mazaipo, and asked how many troops there were, and he answered truthfully that 1 people were not enough.

Sun Xiaozhe was a bit puzzled by the Zhang Er monk. If there were 10 people, maybe Li Longji would dare to fight against danger. With thousands of people, would he dare to stay in Mazaipo?

Let the scouts inquire again.It was the same result, but I heard that more and more fleeing people gathered in Mazaipo. Apart from Li Longji, there were also countless disciples of the clan, generals and princes.

Sun Xiaozhe sent people to report to An Lushan, and at the same time sent his general Anfu to lead [-] elite soldiers to Mazaipo with [-] artillery pieces.

So this battle dragged on until the tenth day of July before the curtain officially kicked off.

Although the rebels thought they were successful and started to be arrogant, the military discipline was still there. When they came to Mazai Slope, An Fu took a look with the binoculars. The number of Tang troops was indeed not very large, but they were hiding behind the trenches one by one.Started to line up, dragged the artillery out, and opened fire on the trench.

In fact, the range of guns is now close to 400 meters, which is not far behind the effective range of artillery.The real threat is the Zhou-class artillery developed by Oceania, with a range of more than 4000 meters. Even the largest artillery in the Xia class has a range of nearly 2000 meters. This artillery named after the dynasty is already the prototype of post-modern artillery. .

This time, hundreds of doors were brought over, but because of their heavy weight, they were still at the rear, and it would take some time before they could reach Mazai Slope.

Seeing the artillery fire, the soldiers did not shoot under Wang Hua's command, but because of the cover of the trench, the loss was not great.

An Fu frowned, feeling vaguely troubled, but he didn't take it to heart.

Since the artillery attack is ineffective, let's save the shells. He doesn't believe that after he got the artillery, Oceania will continue to provide them with shells.Save this for siege use.So he ordered an attack.First put the shield army in the front, and then put the longbowmen in the back. Without the cavalry, the cavalry in the five trenches will not be effective.

Stepping forward step by step, the longbow was like rain, but the opponent was lying in the trench without showing his head, and he couldn't do anything, so he waved the command flag, and the army strode forward. Such as the sound of frying broad beans sounded.

The rebels immediately fell down row by row, faster than Anfu's reaction.

Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound, and then a series of sparks jumped out of the trench and landed in his own position, and again a series of smoke and dust were thrown up, even the turf was thrown into the sky.This time the shooting covered almost the entire rebel position.

Then, in the dense forest at the rear, another army of about a thousand people came out, with that strange weapon still in their hands.They copied all the rear routes that the rebels fled east.

The battle ended quickly, no one slipped through the net, and all were wiped out in Mazaipo.

He was also very resentful towards them, Wang Hua, and killed none of the prisoners.

But Wang Hua was very dissatisfied. He didn't expect the rebels to be so rampant. He knew that Li Longji was here, so he only sent 5000 troops.Even the prepared trenches are only used on one.

Li Heng was still moaning, but standing on the top of the slope after watching the battle, his legs were trembling and he didn't dare to say a word.

Li Mi was also dejected. After this war, the Tang royal family has officially announced its withdrawal from history.Unless Wang Hua made a serious strategic mistake, he could be taken advantage of by the Tang royal family, but considering the various ways Wang Hua used soldiers in the past, this possibility is even smaller than the chance of the world dropping gold bricks.

But in Chang'an, Sun Xiaozhe thought that Anfu would be able to capture them easily when he sent troops, so he didn't pay attention at all.

For some reason, An Lushan refused to go west, stayed in Luoyang and never went to Chang'an.Therefore, the war opportunity is shifting to Wang Hua step by step.

In the city of Chang'an, following An Lushan's order, Princess Huo, the concubine, son-in-law and others who had not had time to escape were cut off in Chongrenfang to sacrifice their hearts to Anqingzong.All the henchmen of Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi, as well as those who were evil in An Lushan, were killed. However, because Gao Lishi tipped off the news, the number of deaths was a little less than in history, a total of 59 people, and even used iron hoops to expose their skulls Open, blood flowed all over the street, and the sound of pain was heard several miles away.

But this news is a good thing for Wang Hua. After hearing about it, the aggrieved sons and daughters on Ma Zai Slope were all at peace.Anyway, Wang Hua gave them a way to survive, and continued to let them enjoy the glory and wealth.It is tens of thousands of times better than this method of death.

Moreover, Wang Hua didn't even kill Li Chongjun, allowing him to die well in Oceania. Moreover, people like himself had no enmity with him. On the contrary, because he married many women from the Li clan, there was another layer of unbroken relationship.

Seeing the tyranny of the rebels, officials from Tongzhou, Huazhou, and Shangzhou surrendered one after another, but the rebels also became more fierce.

Only then did Sun Xiaozhe hear the news that An Fu's entire army had been wiped out.

He didn't believe it, so he sent scouts to investigate, but this time there was no such good thing.

When it comes to using scouts, Wang Hua is the originator, even Zhang Shougui learned how to use scouts from him, not to mention An Lushan who learned military knowledge from Zhang Shougui.

The enemies fought by the Oceania army may not be as powerful as the rebels, but the terrain is ten times and a hundred times more complex than here. There are tropical rainforests, endless deserts, bitter cold places, and deep mountains and swamps.Moreover, the weapons in their hands were several times better than those of the rebels.

The scouts were sent out, but none of them came back.

Finally, Sun Xiaozhe began to be suspicious. This situation is very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Immediately reported to An Lushan, but there was another change in this matter.

If An Lushan came to Chang'an and took advantage of the trend to the west, and Wang Hua couldn't make a move, then the Tang Dynasty would be over.But he stayed in Luoyang and didn't want to make progress, and he was blocked again in Mazaipo.So Tongluo and the Turkic chief Ashina, who followed An Lushan in the rebellion, planned to lead [-] cavalry, steal [-] stable horses and flee to Kashuofang, and join hands with other Hu people to occupy the border areas of the Tang Dynasty.

The escape of the two immediately caused chaos in Chang'an, the officials fled and hid, and the prisoners in the prison also fled on their own.Cui Guangyuan thought that the rebels were about to retreat, so he sent people to guard Sun Xiaozhe's house, preparing to make a miracle and return to the court.

While Sun Xiaozhe reported the matter to An Lushan, he fought back.Only then did Cui Guangyuan realize that he had made a mistake in his judgment, and immediately fled to Mazaipo together with Chang'an County Magistrate Su Zhen and more than ten officials.

It's almost August now.

Wang Hua's vanguard force of 3 people arrived at Mazaipo.After hearing the news about Cui Guangyuan, he immediately said, "It's about time."

Although the tyranny of the rebels made him unbearable.But without such a comparison, maybe the common people also thought he was a traitor and rose up to resist.Let him raise a knife and slash and kill rebels and even clan children, he has no psychological barriers.But if you raise your knife, you won't be able to kill innocent people after all.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, Wang Hua put Li Longji and his clan disciples under house arrest. These people could not be released, otherwise the generals from all over the country would be very troublesome if they used tiger skins as banners.

Then lead the army to attack Chang'an.
