The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 355

He turned back to Longyu in a whirl, hesitating to go here.

In the mud at the foot of Mawei slope, there is no place where Yuyankong died.

——Excerpt from "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" Bai Juyi
……

After hastily burying Concubine Yang Gui and others, the army set off and continued westward.

Li Xuexuan stared at Bai Fu suddenly, and asked without thinking, "How come you are so familiar with Huanhun Pill?"

Bai Fuxin said: "Master Zhong Si and I also wanted to use the Resurrection Pill to get out of trouble, but unfortunately we couldn't do so."

Thinking of Master Zhongsi, Bai Fu felt sad.If the master is still alive, how can the dog thief An Lushan capture Tongguan?Bai Fu hates it greatly.

Watching the army walk away, Bai Fu said to Li Xuexuan: "Do it, if you don't do it again, I'm worried that the imperial concubine will not be able to hold on."

Li Xuexuan struck out with a palm, and the wind of the palm pushed the grave to the ground.The two quickly dug up the cemetery and pried open the coffin. Concubine Yang curled up in the coffin like a bunch of sleeping crabapple flowers...

Bai Fu took out the porcelain bottle left by Gao Lishi, and dropped a few drops of the blood-red liquid into Concubine Yang's mouth.

Immediately, he took out the silver needles, and pierced the main points of the meridian with dozens of needles, and the gray air on Concubine Yang's face gradually faded away.

Li Xuexuan helped Concubine Yang up, and imitating Gao Lishi's technique, put her right palm against Concubine Yang's back, pushed the palace to activate blood, and slowly injected internal energy into Concubine Yang's body.

The zhenqi wandered to the vicinity of the heart veins, and Li Xuexuan found that there were several zhenqi shields around Concubine Yang's heart veins.If it weren't for these bursts of true energy, the erysipelas would have eroded the heart veins long ago.At that time, Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save the life of the noble concubine.

Concubine Yang slowly opened her eyes, feeling melancholy.After a while, she threw herself into Li Xuexuan's arms, and burst into tears.Those who hear it are sad, and those who see it are heartbroken.

Li Xuexuan felt the same, she stroked his back with her hand, and burst into tears.

After crying for a long time, Yang Guifei calmed down a little.She took Li Xuexuan's hand and cried, "Miss Li, that's what I really want to do. It's over once and for all."

Li Xuexuan said: "Don't hate His Majesty, he also has his own difficulties."

Concubine Yang shook her head and sighed: "I don't blame him, nor do I hate him. As an emperor, he bears more burdens than I do. Since the An Lushan rebellion, his hair turned white overnight, as if he had aged decades.

I only hate myself for marrying into the emperor's family.The most prosperous, but also the most bleak. "

Li Xuexuan stopped her tears and said, "Before the fall of Luoyang, Abbot Liao Kong of the White Horse Temple asked me to protect you secretly. I didn't expect this to be the end result.

Where do we go now, does the empress have any ideas? "

Concubine Yang sighed: "After this battle, my Yang family has been wiped out. I grew up in Shuzhou since I was a child, so I might as well spend my whole life here.

Miss Li, I implore you to take me to Emei, from then on, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng will live for the rest of my life. "

……

Li Xuexuan closed the door, and Bai Fu, who was guarding the door, asked, "How is your majesty?"

Li Xuexuan said: "The mood has calmed down, but I was frightened and fell asleep now. When she wakes up, we will set off."

Bai Fu took two steps away, and said softly: "The cemetery has been restored to its original state, and it can't be seen that any tampering has been done. But..."

"But what?" Li Xuexuan asked.

Bai Fu sighed, and said: "However, several hours have passed, and no one has returned. Open the coffin to save people."

A cold light flashed in Li Xuexuan's eyes.

……

After Concubine Yang woke up, the three set off on the road.

For the convenience of the journey, Li and Yang changed into men's clothing and turned into two handsome scholars.The skin of the two is as beautiful as snow, which is too handsome.I also wiped some pot bottom ash to make myself look darker.The two of them applied the pot ash, just like applying rouge, carefully and carefully, and did not give up until the application was even.

Bai Fu was secretly amused, and said in his heart: "It's really a girl, she can't even pretend to be ugly."

When passing by Concubine Yang's cemetery, Concubine Yang stopped for a long time...

Yang Yuhuan cut off a lock of black silk and buried it in the earth.After getting on the horse, he smiled brightly at the two of Bai Li and said, "From today onwards, there will be no Concubine Yang in the world."

Three people and four horses left in the dust.

……

Along the way, riding horses in parallel, Bai Fu learned the latest news about the battle from Li Xuexuan:
Tongguan is a dangerous pass in the world, one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.Ge Shuhan was stationed at Tongguan, with deep ditches and high fortifications, holding on to the danger.The Yan army was repelled several times.

The Yan army who went south was stubbornly resisted by the Tang army, and the military deployment of "going down to Nanyang, taking Wuguan, and attacking Chang'an via Lantian" failed;

The Yan army marching into Jingchu and Jianghuai, due to the tight defense of the Tang army, the plan to plunder the wealth and wealth of Jianghuai was disillusioned;
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi led the Tang army to victories in Hebei, people all over the country revolted, and more than a dozen counties declared their recovery.The land of Yanzhao returned to the hands of Li Tang's court, and the connection between Fan Yang and Luoyang was completely severed.

An Lushan was besieged on all sides, and had planned to withdraw his troops, abandon Luoyang, and hide back to Fan Yang's lair.

The situation is very good, as long as Ge Shuhan guarantees that Tongguan will not be lost, and Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi go straight to Fan Yang, the Yan army will fall apart.

However, at this juncture, Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan were jealous and jealous, and they fought fiercely, causing the entire favorable situation of the battle to collapse instantly.

Instigated by Yang Guozhong, Xuanzong was worried about delaying the battle, so he ordered his brother Shuhan to lead his troops to attack Shan County and recover Luoyang.

Ge Shuhan was shocked, and played Shuxuanzong all night: "Anlu Mountain has been in battle for a long time, and the rebellion has been planned for a long time. This is a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths. Once our army attacks, it happens to fall into the trap. Our army defends against the danger. Waiting for work with ease, after a long time, the rebel army will be short of food and grass, the people will lose their hearts, and the army will be in chaos. At that time, wait for the opportunity to move, and it depends on the first battle."

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi also played at the same time. As long as Tongguan stood firm and held back the rebels, the Shuofang army could go straight to Fan Yang, cover his lair, and put down the rebellion.

However, just after the dawn of the battle, Xuanzong couldn't wait for a big victory.He is extremely eager to save face and wash away his shame by regaining Luoyang.

Xuanzong continued to issue edicts, urging Ge Shuhan to go out for a decisive battle. 'Continue to make fun of it, with their backs facing each other'.

"I will not accept the order of the emperor outside" obviously cannot be taken seriously.If Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing's heads are not complied with, Ge Shuhan's fate will be the same.

On the fourth day of June in the 15th year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan "feeling and weeping" and "led the troops out of the pass" with tears.

The army left Tongguan and arrived in Lingbao Xiyuan three days later.There is the danger of the Yellow River in the north and the obstruction of Xiaoshan Mountain in the south. There is only a narrow and long pass in the middle.It is the branch in the art of war.

"Branch-shaped ones, although the enemy is beneficial, I can't get out, and lead them away, so that the enemy is halfway out and hits them, which is beneficial."When encountering this kind of terrain, although the enemy tempted me, I would not attack.We should lead the army away and let the enemy attack. When the enemy army is halfway out, we will lay out an ambush before attacking him.

Ge Shuhan obviously knew this art of war and did not dare to march recklessly, so he ordered the army to stay overnight at the pass.

If it weren't for Xuanzong's continuous edicts to urge him to speed up his march, Ge Shuhan would definitely not have entered the pass rashly, but would have followed the law of war to force the Yan army to fight at the pass to avoid being ambushed.However, with military orders in hand, he can only ignore the law of war.

Sure enough, after the Tang army led by Wang Sili entered the pass, the [-] forward troops were wiped out.

The [-] main force led by Pang Zhong collapsed without a fight. "When the rear army saw the defeat of the front army, they all collapsed, and the Hebei army also collapsed when they saw it. In an instant, both sides of the strait were empty."

The 18 Eastern Expeditionary Army was wiped out in one day, and only [-] remnants were defeated and fled back to Guanzhong.

On the ninth day of June, Cui Qianyou of the Yan army occupied Tongguan without bloodshed.

After the fall of Tongguan, the defenders of Hedong, Huayin, Fengyi, Shangluo and other counties abandoned the city and fled overnight.

……

June [-]

"At the top, Wei Fangjin, the governor of Jingzhao Yin, was the royal official and envoy. Cui Guangyuan, the young Yin of Jingzhao, Lingchang, was the Yin of Jingzhao. , ordered Longwu General Chen Xuanli to compare the six armies, to give money and silk, and to select more than [-] horses in the idle stables, which are unknown to outsiders. At dawn in Yiwei, Shangdu and his concubines, sisters, princes, concubines, lords, grandsons, and Yang Guozhong , Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin, Chen Xuanli and close eunuchs and palace people came out of Yanqiu Gate."

Xuanzong urgently appointed Jingzhaoyin Wei Fangjin as Yushi doctor and envoy, promoted Jingzhao Shaoyin Cui Guangyuan as Jingzhaoyin, and stayed behind in Xijing, and ordered eunuch Bian Lingcheng to be in charge of the keys of the palace.

In the evening, Xuanzong ordered Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, to gather the Six Imperial Guards, rewarded the soldiers with a lot of money and silk, and selected more than 900 royal horses to escape.

At dawn on June [-], under the guard of the Imperial Army, Xuanzong fled westward with the royal family and a few ministers in the palace.

……

"On that day, all the officials still entered the court. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they could still hear the sound of leaks. The three guards stood upright. When the gate was opened, the palace people came out in disorder. Fleeing, the small people in the valley fought to enter the palace and the palaces of the princes and princes, stealing gold and treasures, or riding donkeys to the palace. They also burned the left treasury."

After the news of the emperor's escape came out, Chang'an, which was originally peaceful and prosperous, suddenly turned into an isolated island of panic and chaos.Regardless of the aristocratic family or the common people, everyone fled in panic with their wives and children.The mob took advantage of the fire to loot, loot, burn and kill, and the city of Chang'an became a mess, people turned their backs on their backs, and the flames shot up into the sky...
