Li Yan ran away!

Without notifying all civil and military officials, they took their confidants and the Northern Imperial Army and quietly left Chang'an and fled overnight.

There is no wall in this world that is not leaking. Li Yan's identity is the current emperor. Even if he is secret, there are thousands of people around him. Such a huge team cannot be hidden from the eyes of the world.

Originally, because of all kinds of rumors, the people in Chang'an were panicked. Now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has secretly escaped, which undoubtedly proves the authenticity of those "rumors".

Chang'an, panic, chaos...

The news of the emperor's escape to Tongguan.

Du Xian was completely stunned by Wang Shi, who was responsible for guarding Tongguan...

Tongguan is the last line of defense to guard Guanzhong and the last line of defense for the life and death of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Wang Shi and Du Xian were literati, they did not lack the courage to fight to the end and had already decided to live and die with Tongguan.

They were literati, very eloquent, organized various words to encourage the morale of the soldiers.

But they didn't expect that the object they were guarding for the death would just run away like this?

Du Xian was immediately like a abandoned child, in his forties and fifty years, and cried loudly: "What is the purpose of all this?"

Wang Shi was relatively calm, his eyes were red and red. He grabbed Du Xian hard and said, "Hold on, hold on, don't make a sound, don't let the soldiers know, and absolutely not let the soldiers know."

He was so angry that he trembled with anger that he could not control his strength in his hands, and he grabbed Du Xian's hands with purple. In the end, the tears fell down.

Luoyang!

As the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, it is second only to Chang'an, and it is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation. It is the eastern starting point of the Silk Roads of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei and Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the central hub of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Because of the saturation of Guanzhong, the court has made great efforts to develop Luoyang.

When Li Longji was in power, he established Duji Road in Luoyang, which greatly improved Luoyang's status. At the same time, he went to Luoyang from time to time to temporarily live in Luoyang to handle the government affairs of the world.

Therefore, there is also a huge imperial palace in Luoyang City, which was rebuilt from Wu Zhou.

However, the Luoyang Palace has changed hands now. Although Zhang Kang did not claim to be the emperor and planned a great rebellion, he also moved into the palace openly and enjoyed the emperor's life.

Sitting high on the dragon throne, Zhang Kang was not overly happy, but frowned and thought about how to conquer Tongguan.

Their strength expanded too quickly. As a hero of a generation and number one figure, Zhang Kang saw the hidden dangers he faced.

The strength expands too quickly and lacks stability, which is the biggest problem I face.

It’s okay to have a smooth flow, but once you encounter disadvantages and setbacks, the morale of the army will face huge problems.

Zhang Kang has always known who his biggest rival was. Without Li Yi, there was only Pei Min in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min is the one he fears the most. Once Pei Min returns to help, he cannot defeat him and will be in a dilemma.

"We must take Tongguan!"

Zhang Kang tapped the table in front of him and said loudly: "We must take down Tongguan before Pei Min comes to help. As long as we control Tongguan, we can use the dangers of Tongguan to block Pei Min outside Tongguan. We can safely sit in the Central Plains of Hebei to develop and recuperate."

Zhang Kang's words were exchanged for a while of silence.

Tongguan is well-known for its natural danger.

Throughout history, Tongguan has been a must-fight place for military strategists and is known as the "first pass". It is located in the key to the three provinces of Jin, Shaanxi and Henan. The key to the post road from Chang'an to Luoyang is the key to entering and leaving the Three Qins.

The second prime minister of the Tang army, Wang Shi and Du Xian gathered troops to defend the enemy in Tongguan. There were densely packed strong bows and crossbows on Tongguan.

It is not easy to attack Tongguan.

Zhang Kang was tyrannical and was about to get angry. Li Zhuer walked in through the side door in a nervous manner, came to the front of the hall, and handed a secret letter to Zhang Kang.

Zhang Kang took the secret letter and read the content on the letter. He looked strange. He was stunned for a while. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "You go out first, gentlemen will stay..."

He drove away all the generals under his command, and only the Wuyu Valley, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, Sun Xiaozhe, Gao Miao, He Qiannian five people were left in the huge hall.

Zhang Kang swept the north and conquered Luoyang, with a grand momentum. In today's world, there are loyal, brave and brave civil and military heroes, and naturally there are also polite people who are humble.

In addition to Shiyugu and Yan Zhuang, Zhang Kang had more Gao Shang, Sun Xiaozhe, Gao Miao, and several advisers from He Qiannian.

Although these people have bad character and bad morals, they have real talents and knowledge and good strategies.

"Sir, this is the news I just got. Do you think it's true or false?"

Zhang Kang circulated the secret letter.

The first thing he saw was naturally planning to master the Lord's Valley. He was overjoyed when he saw the secret letter and said, "It's great. If the Lord is protected by God, Tongguan can get it at your fingertips."

He saw that the secret letter was passed on.

The rest of the people were also very happy when they saw the letter.

The secret letter was exactly what they had sent from the secret whistle in Chang'an: In order to disrupt the morale of the enemy, noble people offered their plans to scatter rumors in the Tang Dynasty and disrupt the morale of the enemy.

In order to spread rumors, Zhang Kang spent a lot of money to get Gao Shang to form an intelligence force to investigate the realities of the capital.

Zhang Kang hesitated and said, "Will there be no fake?"

Noble and talented are not inferior to the Kuyu Valley, Yan Zhuang said, "Return to the Lord, there is no possibility of fraud in this matter. No one dares to design the matter like the emperor's escape, and no one dares to fabricate such rumors that would damage the emperor's reputation. Since this matter has been spread, it is enough to prove that this matter is true."

Zhang Kang frowned and said, "I understand this principle, but... I'm not hiding it from a few gentlemen. I'm just like dreaming after fighting along the way. In Changshan, Li Yi was really not his opponent. I've made plans to flee north, but he went out of the city to fight like he was looking for death, giving us a victory in vain. Next is the Yellow River. Our army is not familiar with water wars. Wang Shi killed more than 10,000 soldiers with the natural chasm of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, the sky is beautiful and the Yellow River is frozen, so our army can cross calmly. What I fear most is that the Tang army is huddled in Luoyang. As a result, they not only did not huddle in Luoyang, but also transferred Luoyang's troops to the edge of the Yellow River, allowing us to catch all the troops and easily take Luoyang..."

"Another this time, Tongguan is really difficult to attack. Wang Shi and Du Xian are some of the two bastards who use their troops. I really have no good way to take Tongguan. The opponent's emperor ran away again? Every time the most critical moment, victory will come to the door inexplicably. I feel a little uneasy. The opponent is obviously not weak, but we win too easily."

Zhang Kang's heartfelt words made the five advisers look at each other, and they didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Shiyugu coughed and said, "Our opponents cooperate well. Do you want to give up on this victory that comes to your door?"
