Chapter 404 Li Heng wants to escape again, Li Yu and Li Tan force the palace
Fan Yang.

Shi Siming was in a depressed mood and absent-mindedly convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Because the previous suggestion was ridiculed by everyone, Wu Lingxun simply kept silent and put on an appearance of letting it go.At the same time, Wu Lingxun was ready to escape Fan Yang and sneak into Dongyi.

It was impossible for him to die with Shi Siming, but he didn't have the courage to surrender to Zhang Xuan, because there was a bad example of An Qingxu surrendering and being executed before, and he was worried that Zhang Xuan would not let them, the old Anlushan troops.

When Li Guiren led the army to go out, he kept saying that he would go through fire and water for Fan Yang, but when he arrived at the front line of the battlefield, he stayed still. Although he had the consideration of waiting for the opportunity to fight, he also had his own little calculations.

Shi Siming knew it well, but there was nothing he could do.If at this time, he changed his general, Fan Yang would really be finished.

But what made Shi Siming angry was that Shi Chaoyi actually stood still in Changshan, which caused Zhang Xuan to calmly recover most of Fan Yang's territory.

For more than a month, Shi Chaoyi did not dare to fight Zhang Xuan. The more this stalemate continued, the more unstable Fan Yang's troops became.

Tian Chengsi gritted his teeth, stepped out of the class and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the military situation is urgent. If the eldest son does not fight with Zhang Xuan's army and defeat Zhang Xuan's army, Fan Yang will not be able to survive if this drags on. Now the army's morale is unstable, and the people's morale is in chaos. , There is an endless stream of people fleeing Fan Yang."

Shi Siming slapped the table angrily, and shouted loudly, "Shi Chaoyi misunderstood me, it's annoying and hateful!"

Wu Lingxun glanced at Tian Chengsi, and suddenly interjected, "My lord, why don't you order the eldest son to lead the army [-] times to guard against Yang, and then order Cai Xide's entire army to fight Zhang Xuan outside Changshan County! If Zhang Xuan's army can be defeated , Fan Yang’s predicament can be solved. Not only is Fan Yang Wuyu, but the prince can also rely on Fan Yang and look at the world.”

The corner of Shi Siming's mouth twitched slightly.

a long time.

His face turned livid, and he drank coldly, "Desire, order Shi Chaoyi to lead [-] troops to guard against Yang, and order Cai Xide to fight Zhang Xuan with the whole army! Victory is not allowed to be defeated. Whether I, Fan Yang, can turn the crisis into safety depends on this battle Already!"

"Obey!" Tian Chengsi and the others clasped their fists and shouted, but their hearts were filled with ecstasy.

……

……

Changshan.

When Shi Siming's military order was conveyed, Cai Xide was naturally extremely excited. He had wanted to fight Zhang Xuan's army for a long time, but was blocked by Shi Chaoyi.

But Shi Chaoyi was very angry and desperate.For his father Shi Siming's actions, he felt deep hatred in his heart.

In fact, the reason why he stood still was not because he was afraid of not fighting, but because he wanted to wait for the movement from the court.Zhang Xuan's troops are strong, although he has 8 troops under his command, but if he collides head-on with Zhang Xuan, the hope of winning is less than [-]%.But if there is a delay, when the emperor Qin Wang's soldiers and horses arrive, they will inevitably put considerable pressure on Zhang Xuan in the rear. At that time, Fan Yang's army and horses will have a chance to defeat Zhang Xuan if they attack again.

However, his good intentions aroused Shi Siming's suspicion and distrust.He would rather trust a foreign general than his own son!

Shi Chaoyi roared in his heart, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more serious.

Since he doesn't regard me as his son, then... Shi Chaoyi sneered, immediately called several confidant generals, and began to secretly discuss the matter of returning to Zhang Xuan.

Two days later.

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed when he received the news that General Shi Chaoyi led more than [-] soldiers and horses from his direct lineage to surrender. He immediately ordered the army to march out and attack Changshan County.

On the third day, Fan Yang's army in Changshan County was in conflict.Shi Chaoyi led an army of [-] to open the city gate, surrendered to Zhang Xuan, and welcomed Zhang Xuan's army into Changshan.

Although Cai Xide controlled [-] troops, he was caught off guard and the morale of the army was in turmoil. When Zhang Xuan's army of more than [-] troops approached the city, there was also civil strife. Seeing that the situation was over, he led his army to abandon Changshan County and was defeated.

Guo Ziyi led the army to attack and pursue until Hengzhou and Yizhou.Along the way, Fan Yang's army lost their helmets and armor and was routed, with heavy casualties. Less than half of the [-] troops fled back to Fan Yang.

Fifteen days later.Zhang Xuan led an army to Yizhou, and it was just around the corner to take down Fan Yang.Because Shi Chaoyi surrendered, Fan Yang's army and horses were in civil strife, and Fan Yang was settled.

……

……

Yizhou.

handsome hall.

When Zhang Xuan was promoted to the hall, Shi Chaoyi walked into the hall anxiously, knelt down on one knee under the playful eyes of the generals, and shouted loudly, "General Shi Chaoyi, pay homage to the lord!"

Zhang Xuan was silent, but exchanged a look with Tian Kexin who was standing beside him.

Regarding how to deal with Shi Chaoyi, Zhang Xuan and Tian Kexin once had an in-depth discussion.

This Shi Chaoyi is not a good stubble either. As a traveler who is familiar with history entering the city, Zhang Xuan does not believe that Shi Chaoyi will be loyal to him for a long time, because Shi Chaoyi in history not only killed his father Shi Siming, but was also an important director of the Anshi Rebellion. .

Zhang Xuan tried to kill more than once.

But no matter what, since Shi Chaoyi surrendered, if Zhang Xuan executed him again, it would definitely cause some negative effects.

Tian Kexin gave Zhang Xuan an idea, that Shi Chaoyi could be given titles and official positions, but not military power and real power. People are like this. Once they lose their capital, their ambitions will not be able to breed.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "Shi Chaoyi, although you are a surrendered general, you have made great contributions to our army in calming down Fan Yang. This commander clearly rewards and punishes you, and you have meritorious service. I will reward you heavily. Now that the world is not in peace, you are still in the account of this commander. I will be a marching commander, and when I return to Chang'an, I will give you a title and official position."

"This commander-in-chief will follow his words, and he will never break his word."

Shi Chaoyi heaved a sigh of relief, he was determined.He had long since given up the idea of ​​mastering military power, and what he wanted was high officials, high salary, riches and glory, and since Zhang Xuan was willing to give him this, he was satisfied.

"I thank my lord for your kindness, and I will serve my lord to death!"

Shi Chaoyi bowed down.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, Tian Kexin stood on the side, and the pretty face behind the veil was also smiling.

Zhang Xuan glanced back at her, suddenly curious about the face behind her veil, so he took a second look.Ever since Tian Kexin joined his army, he had never seen the true face of this woman.However, in Zhang Xuan's capacity, since this woman refused to take off her veil, of course he would not force her.

Tian Kexin's face became serious, she straightened her body, and bowed her head silently.

*******************************************
Ge Shuhan led an army of [-] to integrate more than [-] people from the Asina Department of Liangzhou, and went south to support Guanzhong, and they had already arrived in Jingzhou.When the news reached Chang'an, Li Heng's mind was at ease, and he added a bit of confidence to defeat Zhang Xuan in the future.Unexpectedly, a few days later, another astonishing military report came to Chang'an, Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo led an army of [-] across the border of Longshuo, entered Longshuo, and invaded Hedong.

Huihe Khan is Zhang Xuan's father-in-law. Obviously, when the Huihe army entered the Central Plains, it must have assisted Zhang Xuan in capturing the world.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xuan defeated Fan Yang's army and horses in Changshan County, and the report that he drove all the way to the soldiers and arrived at Fan Yang's city also arrived in Chang'an, which almost destroyed Li Heng's last trace of confidence.

As a result, Chang'an was shaken, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the royal family of Li and Tang were uneasy.

Li Heng made a decisive decision to abandon Chang'an and retreat to Jiannan to resist Zhang Xuan with the natural danger in the middle of Sichuan.

As soon as the emperor made this decision, some people were happy, some were worried, and some were extremely ashamed and angry.

Chu Wang Li Yu and Jian Ning Wang Li Tan walked into the imperial study side by side and bowed down together.

"Father, Chang'an must not give up again. If the court retreats again, it will inevitably lead to the hearts of the kings and soldiers of the world, and our Tang society will be completely in danger." Li Yu said loudly.

Li Tan also echoed, "Father, Ge Shuhan's army is King Qin, and Li Guangbi has recruited nearly [-] troops in Guanzhong. With this [-] troops, the court may not be able to compete with Zhang Xuan. If the father abandons Chang'an again, the people of the world will be disappointed. , the prestige of the court has been lost, the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, and its demise is imminent."

Li Heng was furious, and charged at the case, "What do you know? Ge Shuhan's tens of thousands of soldiers are no match for Zhang Xuan, and the new army recruited by Li Guangbi is even more mob. Tongguan is in Zhang Xuan's hands again. Once Tongguan is opened, Guanzhong is an uninhabited land. Zhang Xuan's army invades, and Chang'an is bound to be lost. I retreat to Jiannan at this time, occupying the natural danger in the middle of Shu and contending with Zhang Xuan. If Chang'an shows the bravery of a man, he will surely become Zhang Xuan's pocket."

Li Yu and Li Tan looked at each other, each reading deep disappointment from each other's eyes.

Li Yu sneered suddenly, "At this moment, the family, the country, and the world are at stake. As the emperor, my father doesn't think about how to fight against the enemy, but he only wants to escape, which disappoints and chills the people of the world. At this time, not many people are willing to follow the father Fleeing south——Since father wants to escape, let's run away, but please give up the position of emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty will live and die with Chang'an!" Li Yu's voice was impassioned and his face was cold.

Li Tan looked at Li Yu with some confusion, but nodded.

Before entering the palace, the two had already reached an agreement to support Li Yu as the new emperor and force Li Heng to abdicate.In Li Tan's view, this is the last chance for the Li Tang royal family.

Li Heng was shocked, he did not expect that at this time.His two sons were forced to come to the palace.His face was pale, and he pointed at Li Yu with a trembling hand, "You, you are presumptuous! I'm going to stick you to death!"

Without any fear, Li Yu took a step forward and said loudly, "Since the father can't keep the country and the community, he will leave it to his son! The son will not give up Chang'an, and the ancestral temple of the Tang royal family. The son will lead the court and order The world, fight to the death with Zhang Xuan's rebels!"

"Father, the inside and outside of this palace are all controlled by the son. And letting the father abdicate is also the meaning of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Come, please come and invite the Supreme Emperor to rest in Xingqing Palace—" Li Yu shouted violently, and the imperial letter Immediately outside the door, many palace guards rushed in, and behind the palace guards were Yang Guozhong, Gongsun Liang, Pei Mian and other ministers.

"You... how dare you bully me like this!" Li Heng spurted a mouthful of blood on his back, and fainted on the spot.
