Chapter 445 The Fall of Chang'an
Chapter 445 The Fall of Chang'an
Tongguan City is high and deep, and Ge Shuhan can't hold on.Seeing that Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi were as powerful as a broken bamboo, An Lushan was like ants on a hot pot.
"Your Majesty can use tricks to lure Ge Shuhan to send troops."
"Ge Shuhan is cunning and cunning, I'm afraid he won't fall for it so easily."
"Your Majesty only needs to lure the enemy, and leave the rest to us."
At this time, the great monk beside him gave An Lushan an idea.In fact, it is very simple, it is to show the enemy weak.Although An Lushan was puzzled, there was no other good way at this time, and he could only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
An Lushan ordered the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to be stationed in Shan County, while the elite troops were hidden.On the fourth day of June in Tianbao's 15th year, Ge Shuhan really led an army of 18 out of Tongguan.
An Lushan was very pleasantly surprised, and looked at the great monk next to him, but his face was calm, as if he had known this before.
In fact, Buddhism permeates everywhere, except for some small officials, it also includes important officials in the court, such as Yang Guozhong!
Yang Guozhong is now the prime minister, so it can be said that he will lose everything with the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he will not help Buddhism destroy the Tang Dynasty.But as long as you master his veins, it is very simple to let him do something.
For example, this time, it was Buddhism who secretly encouraged Yang Guozhong, saying that Ge Shuhan's support for soldiers would definitely threaten his status 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, Li Longji ordered Shuhan to send troops.
Ge Shuhan knew that he would be defeated if he sent troops, but the emperor's order must not be violated, so he could only leave Tongguan with hatred.
The next day, in Lingbao Xiyuan, Ge Shuhan's army met Cui Qianyou's troops. Cui Qianyou was a general under An Lushan and had already arranged an ambush.
Lingbao is surrounded by mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north, with a narrow mountain road seventy miles long in the middle.Cui Qianyou ambushed his elite soldiers on the south mountain, and fought Ge Shuhan on the eighth day of the eighth day.
The [-] troops of the Tang army are in the front, [-] are behind, and another [-] are helping each other with drums beating high on the north bank of the Yellow River.After the two armies fought, they saw that the rebel army was in a turbulent position, throwing military flags everywhere and fleeing, so they took advantage of the victory to pursue them.
"Not good! Be careful in ambush!"
After chasing all the way to the valley, Ge Shuhan felt that something was wrong and was about to retreat.But it was too late, the 10,000+ army is not so easy to turn around.
"Kill!"
Immediately afterwards, the shouts of killing from high places 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 rocks fell from the hillside and smashed hard at Tang Jun in the middle.
"Rush! Rush forward!"
Seeing that the army was crowded in the valley, causing heavy casualties, Ge Shuhan quickly ordered the chariots and horses to charge forward, trying to forcibly open a way out.
But it is a pity that the rebels crowded a large amount of forage in front, and after the burning, the smoke billowed, and it was impossible to distinguish the direction, and the Tang army became more and more confused.
This continued until sunset, and the 15 Tang troops were defeated in this way.The [-] troops on the north bank of the Yellow River broke up and fled when they saw this.
Ge Shuhan fled back to Tongguan in embarrassment with only a few hundred riders.There are three ravines outside Tongguan, all of which are two feet wide and one foot deep. The troops who fled back from the Tang army fell into it, and it was quickly filled, and the people behind stepped on the corpses.
Poor 18 troops, only [-] fled back to Tongguan.
The next day, Cui Ganyou broke through Tongguan, and Ge Shuhan retreated to Yuanguan Xiyi in embarrassment.
Ge Shuhan posted a bulletin, wanting to call up the separated soldiers and continue to guard Tongguan.But unexpectedly, at this time the Tubo general Huo Baguiren led the troops to surround the post station.
"The general's 20 troops were wiped out in World War I. How can he meet the emperor? Think about what happened to Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi. Instead of being killed by the emperor, it is better to surrender to Anlu Mountain!"
"How can we do such unfaithful and unrighteous things when we eat the king's salary!"
"That's offended!"
Ge Shuhan refused to surrender, but Huoba Guiren and others directly tied him to the horse, and together with other disobedient generals, they went to surrender to Anlu Mountain.
Li Longji was stunned, coupled with the instigation of treacherous officials, miscalculated the situation, and sent troops to counterattack prematurely, causing Tongguan to fall and lose both people and land.
As a result, Chang'an lost its protective barrier, and the rebels occupied Luoyang and Tongguan, and rushed towards Chang'an like tigers descending from the mountain.
"Is this the end of my Great Tang?"
The news of the fall of Tongguan quickly spread to Chang'an. Li Longji felt sad when he saw two or three people below in the morning court.The prosperous Tang Dynasty, did it just die?
"I'm not willing to be reconciled! Come here, make an order, and I want to personally conquer!"
Li Longji was full of resentment, and then issued an order in Qinzheng Building.
"The imperial conquest?"
Hearing this news, all the officials and soldiers were startled, then shook their heads and sneered again.
"The devil believes it!"
That night, the guard of honor of the Forbidden Army was moved to Daming Palace, General Chen Xuanli of Longwu reorganized the six armies, rewarded with a lot of money, and then selected [-] fast horses from the stables.
These things were carried out secretly, and nothing was known outside the palace.Seeing the rebels approaching, at dawn, Li Longji took his sister Yang Yuhuan, the prince and grandson, and other concubines, together with Yang Guozhong, Chen Xuanli and other close officials, escaped from Chang'an through Yanqiu Gate.
What Li Longji said about the imperial conquest was just a smoke bomb, and he had already planned to escape.Escape from Chang'an and change places, he is still the emperor!
"really……"
Above Chang'an, looking at the fleeing emperor, Mi Xiaoxia sneered.
Although there was a struggle between Buddhism and Taoism, the development of the matter was still the same as the history he knew.
Looking at Datang's luck at this time, with the emperor fleeing, it has dropped to the extreme. If it drops further, Datang will really perish.
And the key to this last point of Datang's luck lies in the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.As the last representative of Datang, if the emperor is finished, Datang will really be finished.
Although Li Longji's escape was concealed, he couldn't hide it from the power of Taoism and Buddhism.At this time, everyone was paying attention to this team, and to the last fate of Datang.
"Kill Li Longji!"
"Protect Li Longji!"
At this time, the key to the survival of Datang lies in the life and death of Li Longji.Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they have begun to make moves.
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 been subjugated, and as the emperor, the will of the people is added, and even the saints cannot murder him.
Cultivators can't make a move, but ordinary people can.At this time, there was great chaos, the emperor fled, and the six guarding armies were mixed with dragons and snakes.At this time, any small pawn violently rose up, and it was even possible to kill the emperor.
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they have tried their best to mobilize the people in the Six Armies.Either kill Li Longji, or protect Li Longji.But it's a pity that when we focused on the ministers and generals, we had too little control over the pawns.Among the six armies at this time, there are very few people who can control it, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism.
"Even if it's a shame, that's the only way to go!"
If this continues, it will be difficult to kill Li Longji.A great monk looked cold, and decided to cast a spell to confuse the soldiers, and killed Li Longji!
Although he didn't do it himself, it was directly related after all, and he must be punished by heaven.But as long as Li Longji is killed, Datang will be finished, which is enough to make up for this loss.
"What a bold Manjusri! How dare you murder the mortal emperor!"
But just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly shouted loudly, directly interrupting his spellcasting.
"Guang Chengzi...it's you again!"
Seeing the person coming, the great monk's face was gloomy.The visitor is Taoist Guangchengzi, and the real identity of the great monk is the Buddhist Manjusri Bodhisattva.
"I should say this. When Liangshan uprising, you were by Song Jiang's side. At this time, Anlushan rebelled, and you were by Anlushan's side. And now, it's you again who wants to murder the emperor."
Guang Chengzi sneered, ready to strike at any time.
"Amitabha."
At this moment, a Buddha's name sounded, and then two more people appeared.
"you……"
Seeing these two people, even Guang Chengzi couldn't help frowning.These two people are Guanyin Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. In this way, the three Buddhist masters can gather together.
"Hehe, everything that came today is complete."
At this time, someone spoke again, and four people walked out from behind Guang Chengzi, all of whom were the original Twelve Golden Immortals.
The three Buddhist masters, in fact, also have their mounts, the blue lion and the white elephant, a total of five people.On the Taoist side, there are also five people, and the strength of both sides is equal.
"Today is just a competition!"
"Right on my mind!"
Gods fight mortals and suffer, of course they can't do it directly in the barracks.Everyone shouted softly and flew into the sky, followed by a big battle.
"It's fighting..."
At this time, another person appeared in the barracks, it was Mi Xiaoxia.
Watching the Buddhist and Taoist fight, he couldn't help smiling.But he didn't mix it up, but went straight into a big tent.
"Old Immortal, you are here!"
At this moment, there are only two people in the tent, they are Li Heng, Li Yu and his son!Li Heng was circling anxiously, and when he saw Mi Xiaoxia coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had taken a reassurance.
"Tell me what happened to you."
"Report to the old god, everything is in order!"
Li Heng said with a stern look on his face.
"I have asked Li Fuguo to inform Chen Xuanli, and tomorrow I will find an opportunity to kill Yang Guozhong first!"
"Reporting to the old god, many of the troops in the army are my troops at this time, and the overall situation will be safe then!"
Li Yu bowed his hands to Mi Xiaoxia, although he was a little nervous, but his gaze was extremely firm.
"tomorrow……"
Mi Xiaoxia figured it out, he could just arrive at Maweipo tomorrow, and nodded with a smile on his lips.
"Okay, everything will go according to the plan. Tomorrow, first kill Yang Guozhong and other treacherous officials, then kill the concubine Yang Yuhuan, and finally force the emperor to abdicate!"
"Yes! Everything is obeyed by the old god!"
Li Heng's eyes were excited, but then he felt a little guilty, so 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 the people. As the crown prince, you are the best candidate to succeed to the throne. If you kill treacherous ministers and concubines to win people's hearts, there will definitely be nothing wrong."
"Yes, everything is arranged by the old god."
Li Heng took a deep breath, and then bowed deeply to Mi Xiaoxia.
Mi Xiaoxia didn't speak, nodded and walked out of the big tent.Everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow.
"mess."
At this time, he looked up at the sky and saw that Guang Chengzi and the three great masters were still fighting, Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help snorting softly.
These people have advanced cultivation bases, but it is precisely for this reason that they usually rely too much on mana and do things rudely and directly. In his opinion, it is a waste of effort.
