A knife in love

Chapter 3260

When Murong Danyan heard what Li Zongyang said, he said angrily: "Since ancient times, there have been no good people in the supervisory army. I heard that Yang Linggong was trapped in Lianglang Mountain because of Pan Renmei's intentional frame, but the surname Wang The supervising army is not a good person, and deliberately forced Yang Linggong to fight the Liao army, otherwise Yang Linggong would not take the risk to meet the enemy!"

At this time Li Zongyang has already seen that Murong Danyan is an embroidered pillow, with little knowledge, arrogant and unreasonable, and he doesn't want to get entangled with her.Therefore, after Murong Danyan finished speaking, Li Zongyang pretended not to hear, and continued on his own: "Li Longji has always believed in Gao Lishi, and after listening to Gao Lishi's idea, he issued an edict to appoint Bian Lingcheng as the supervisor. Immediately rushed to Luoyang to sit in town. Bian Lingcheng was overjoyed after receiving the order, and hurriedly left Chang'an with dozens of confidant eunuchs and headed straight for Luoyang. The reason why he was so anxious was not because he wanted to fight the rebels as soon as possible, but because They were worried that after Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi beat off the rebels, they would take the gold and silver treasures in Luoyang City as their own. In this way, if they couldn't get any money, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"It's just that Bian Lingcheng has just arrived at Tongguan, and Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi's defeated troops have already retreated to the city of Tongguan. Bian Lingcheng knew Gao Xianzhi's ability, and at this time he saw Gao Xianzhi's defeat so miserablely, so he knew about the rebels in Anlu Mountain It was difficult to deal with, and he was afraid. After Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing entered the city, they rectified the defeated troops, defended the city, and defeated the rebel vanguard who followed. Bian Lingcheng became ready to move again, thinking that the rebels were vulnerable, Urge Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to lead troops out of the city and take back Luoyang City. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are veterans in the battlefield, and they know that their soldiers and horses are already vulnerable to a battle and have suffered new defeats. They only rely on the strong city of Tongguan , barely defeated the vanguard of the rebel army. If you go out of the city to attack the enemy, let alone take back Luoyang City, you are afraid that you will be wiped out by the rebel army after only a few miles out of the city. Therefore, let Bian Lingcheng urge him, Gao Xianzhi Both Feng Changqing and Feng Changqing refused to lead troops out of the city to fight the rebels.

"Bian Lingcheng didn't have any thoughts of family and country in his heart. He only wanted to make a fortune. There was no money to be made in Tongguan. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing refused to lead troops out of the city to take back Luoyang. He was so annoyed that he wrote a memorial. , sent his confidant eunuchs to rush back to Chang'an, only saying that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing had a different heart, and refused to lead troops to attack the rebels, but hid in Tongguan City, and when the rebels came to attack, they would surrender to Anlu Mountain. Be the vanguard of the rebels and return to Chang'an.

"Li Longji sent Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing out of Chang'an to meet the enemy. Although the two generals failed to defeat the rebels, they stuck to Tongguan so that the rebels could not enter the pass and attack Chang'an. Li Longji finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Gao Xianzhi He Feng Changqing is able to fight well, and he will definitely be able to defeat the rebels. The hanging heart has returned to his stomach, and he is no longer busy mobilizing frontier troops and food and grass to support Tongguan, and he is having sex with Yang Guifei and his sisters in the harem. And Li Longji wanted to wipe out the rebels as soon as possible, so he repeatedly urged Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to send troops to take back Luoyang. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing thought that their soldiers would be too weak to fight, and they had to practice in Tongguan City for several months before they could force a fight. Therefore, both of them wrote notes to Li Longji, claiming that they should not rush out of the city to fight the rebels, otherwise they would be defeated.

"After Li Longji received the leaflet from Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, he was dubious in his heart, and became jealous of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing. At this moment, he received the secret leaflet from Bian Lingcheng, and he was furious. Because of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing's crimes of disobedience to the emperor's order and treason, the two generals were to be beheaded in front of the army. After the eunuch arrived in Tongguan, he handed over the imperial edict to Bian Lingcheng. Bian Lingcheng was overjoyed and immediately ordered Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to be killed. Feng Changqing was tied tightly, and he was escorted to the front of the army and had his head chopped off. Pitiful for these two famous generals, they died in the hands of the eunuch.

"After Li Longji killed Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, he wanted to appoint another general to go to war. It's just that the court is full of treacherous villains, and no one can turn the tide. When Li Longji and the court officials panicked, Yang Guozhong was elated , triumphantly above the court, and said that he had a vision when he met everyone, and he had long seen that An Lushan, a miscellaneous man, was plotting to do something wrong and trying to rebel in vain. Regardless of the strength of An Lushan's soldiers, as long as he leads his own troops, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. All the rebels were wiped out. Several officials hated Yang Guozhong for wronging the country. Seeing that he was so complacent and dissatisfied, they deliberately disclosed the news. A eunuch heard the news by accident and reported the matter to Li Longji. At that time, Li Longji was so worried about sending generals that he didn't think about eating and drinking. He was overjoyed when he heard that Yang Guozhong had a strategy to defend against the enemy. He immediately summoned Yang Guozhong and asked him what clever plan he had to defeat the rebels.

"Yang Guozhong is a scoundrel. There is no way to defend against the enemy. The reason why he talks nonsense and brags is just to vent his anger. He dare not lead troops to confront An Lushan at all. But he saw Li Longji's frightened expression." He knew that if he told the truth, his brother-in-law would turn his back on him and cut off his head. Therefore, he had an idea and said to Li Longji that the person An Lushan feared the most in his life was the veteran Ge Shuhan. Although Ge Shuhan was unable to ride on horseback after he suffered a stroke, he was so powerful that even if he was carried by sergeants on a wicker chair, he was better than these generals in the court. An Lushan and the rebels were extremely afraid Without Ge Shuhan, as long as this veteran goes out, he can scare the rebels back.

"At that time, Li Longji was in a mess. Hearing what Yang Guozhong said, he didn't care about his brother Shuhan's serious illness, so he even issued an order for him to lead the army. Ge Shuhan was recuperating at home. He had heard that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Chang The second general of the Qing Dynasty was beheaded by Bian Lingcheng to show the public, and he was heartbroken. He did not expect that the second general had just died tragically, and Li Longji would lead his own troops to go out. He thought about it, wrote a letter to decline, but was forcibly recruited by Li Longji. Ge Shuhan had no choice but to Let the servants carry him to the palace to thank Li Longji. In fact, Ge Shuhan visited Li Longji for the sake of thanking Li Longji on the surface. In fact, he had something important to report to Li Longji. He said to Li Longji, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing Although he is as fearful of the enemy as a tiger, he is not incompetent. The soldiers under the second general are mobs, unable to fight the rebels who have experienced battles in the field, and can only rely on Tongguan City to resist the enemy. If the second general only defends but does not attack, It is more difficult for the rebel army to break through Tongguan. When the army of Qin Kings from all walks of life gathers inside and outside Tongguan, the rebel army must be defeated. Therefore, His Majesty wants your ministers to go to war, and you must hand over the power of using troops to your ministers. to others.

"After Li Longji heard what Ge Shuhan had said, he fully agreed, claiming that he would never interfere with Ge Shuhan's use of troops. Then Ge Shuhan took his servants and left Chang'an and walked straight to Tongguan. After he arrived at Tongguan, the rebels The army made a comeback and stormed Tongguan. Ge Shuhan was calm in the face of danger and well dispatched, defeating the rebels who attacked the city. The officers and soldiers guarding Tongguan were originally a mob, but seeing that Ge Shuhan used his troops properly, he admired him very much. As a result, morale has been boosted, and they are no longer afraid of the rebels."
