Chapter 341 341. The Disappearing Person
Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, who received Li Longji's order, adopted the correct method of combat, which was to stick to Tongguan.

This step made the plan of the enemy army coming from afar unable to succeed, and Tongguan, as the barrier of Chang'an, also effectively protected Chang'an.

However, as I said before, Li Longji in his later years has become dizzy and no longer wise and decisive as he was in his youth.

Some treacherous villains spoke ill of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing in front of Li Longji, slandering them for colluding with the Anshi rebels, so they did not fight the rebels head-on for a long time.

Without careful investigation, Li Longji beheaded the two for public display, causing the court to lose two experienced and brave generals!

After that, Li Longji sent the elderly Ge Shuhan to lead the Tongguan army to resist the enemy.

At that time, there were 20 troops guarding Tongguan!

Ge Shuhan correctly judged the situation of the two sides, and also believed that the strategy of defending against the enemy was not to hold on. As the days dragged on, Tang Xuanzong also lost patience with them.

In addition, the incompetent Yang Guozhong was instigating Xuanzong to issue an imperial edict to force Ge Shuhan to fight. After receiving the imperial edict, Ge Shuhan knew that the battle would be defeated, but he was frightened by the majesty of the imperial power and had no choice but to lead his troops to fight.

In the end, he was defeated, and he was kidnapped by his subordinates and sent to the enemy camp.

From then on, An Lushan invaded Chang'an, without any obstacles, Li Longji had to take his guards and confidantes, leaving most of the eunuchs, court ladies, and even the royal family's children, and fled secretly.

Then, there was the subsequent change of Mawei Station.

Not only Yang Guozhong himself was beheaded by the rebel soldiers, but even Yang Yuhuan was implicated and killed.

It can be said that the reason why the Anshi Rebellion had such a great influence and caused the Tang Dynasty to decline from prosperity was not because of how awesome and powerful Anlu Mountain was.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were not a few people who could quell the chaos.

But the problem is that even a powerful general cannot withstand the attacks of his allies.

What's more, whether it is Li Longji or Yang Guozhong, they are not the general's ally, but the general's boss.

This kind of enemy who protects me and beats my immediate superiors, not to mention Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi, even Bai Qi, Li Jing, and even Lian Po and Li Mu can't stand it.

People who can defy the sky are probably only masters of war like Sun Wu and Guiguzi.

This is only approximate.

As for whether it will work or not, we will have to play a game to know.

To be honest, even An Lushan probably didn't expect that he could win consecutive battles all the way, defeated several famous generals, and successfully invaded Chang'an.

If you want to reward meritorious deeds, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong are his greatest contributors to An Lushan.

From this point, it can be seen how stupid Li Longji was and how incompetent Yang Guozhong was in the Anshi Rebellion, in order to lose a hand of cards.

However, Yang Guozhong, who is a waste snack, doesn't know that he is jumping up and down now, and he is taking an unshakable step towards the abyss of death.

As a person without self-knowledge, of course it is impossible for him to know that his behavior is basically doing non-stop death.

Now he is constantly excited that he can eradicate An Lushan.

But in front of the emperor, Yang Guozhong couldn't say that I came up with this idea just to force An Lushan to rebel, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Li Longji said, "Speak."

Yang Guozhong said: "The emperor can order to call An Lushan to meet him, without mentioning the rebellion, just say that the empress likes the gift he gave him at the feast of bliss very much, and wants to give him a gift in return. The emperor can also hint in the imperial decree that Give An Lushan an official title."

"As long as An Lushan comes to Chang'an, his life and death are still under your control, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, you can rub Anlu Mountain as you want. You can even imprison him in Chang'an City and deprive him of all rights."

When Li Longji heard this, he thought it was a good idea.

Chang'an City is his territory, as long as An Lushan dares to come to Chang'an City, then he has a hundred ways to subdue Anlushan.

So he immediately issued an imperial decree and ordered people to send it to An Lushan's lair quickly.

As for Yang Guozhong, who had succeeded in his scheme, he left the palace excitedly and returned home.

On the way, Yang Guozhong kept sneering. He had already thought about it. Once An Lushan got old in Chang'an and fell into his hands, he would definitely entertain this old man well.

After he falls out of favor, he will return the resentment he has received over the years to An Lushan bit by bit.

He will let An Lushan know what it means to live without seeking death.

Then at this moment, the carriage suddenly shook slightly and stopped.

Yang Guozhong couldn't help being taken aback, raised his head and scolded through the curtain: "Yang San, why did you stop the car?"

Yang San is Yang Guozhong's confidant and also his groom.

Yang Guozhong waited for a few seconds, but he didn't hear Yang San's response. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. When did Yang San become so courageous, even daring to ignore his own question.

A surge of anger couldn't help but rise up in his heart, he got up and lifted the curtain of the car, "Yang San, let me ask you something..."

However, in the next second, Yang Guozhong's voice stopped.

Because he found that there was no one in front of his eyes.

Yang San, who was supposed to be sitting in the driver's seat, disappeared.

But this is nothing, except for Yang San, even the guards around him disappeared.What was even more frightening was that the pedestrians on the street also disappeared.

This street is Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in Chang'an City.

He would pass this street every time he returned from the palace to his prime minister's mansion.

And this street, except at night, in the rest of the world, the most thing is people, there are so many pedestrians coming and going, the sound is loud and noisy.

But now, all pedestrians are gone.

Not only the pedestrians on the street, but even the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street were empty.

Standing on the carriage, Yang Guozhong could even see a cup of steaming good tea on the table in a teahouse, wisps of heat steaming from the cup.

Originally, there should be a tea drinker sitting here, but now the tea drinker is gone.

Pedestrians on the street, high rollers drinking, laughing children, martial arts performers, walking businessmen, graceful women, people who could be seen before, are all gone now.

Yang Guozhong looked around and found that there was only one person in the whole street.

That is himself.

Except for the sound of his breathing, the air was eerily silent.

Seeing this strange scene, Yang Guozhong only felt a cold chill rise from his spine, and instantly hit his forehead, and his scalp exploded.
