Chapter 10 Tongguan Beacon Smoke

June 19th, Yin, Tongguan.

Zhang Tongru, Tian Ganzhen, An Shouzhong withdrew from Chang'an and came to this thousand-year pass standing in the east and west fortress.

Zhang Tongru, the most valued general of An Lushan, stood at the top of the city and slapped the wind hard. The sultry heat before the wind and rain came made him feel a little unbearable.

Looking at the soldiers who entered the pass from time to time, Zhang Tongru frowned and said, "How many soldiers and horses have not returned?"

Tian Ganzhen said: "This is not certain. A group of barbarians who have never seen the world have no life to seek wealth. I don't know how much they swallowed up to the Tang army."

Zhang Tongru cursed: "Everyone of them is desperate? I'll give them another day to go. In a day, let those greedy idiots wait for death outside the pass."

An Shouzhong's face looked a little unhappy.

The Hu Han under Zhang Kang was mixed with that the Hu Han's lifestyle was different and there were inevitably differences.

As Zhang Kang's tribe, An Shouzhong was also the barbarian in Tian Ganzhen's words. He said dissatisfiedly: "It's not because we don't let us rob Chang'an, and we don't want to take away wealth nearby, and we have to take far away."

Zhang Tongru sneered in his heart, but he was unwilling to offend his immediate superior's clan brother, and said, "This is the Lord's order."

Tian Ganzhen looked down on An Shouzhong, and secretly laughed at the barbarians' ignorance.

They kept Chang'an and did not rob, and the Tang army came to attack and did not resist, so they had a deep intention.

At that time, Zhang Kang and Mosremasa agreed to divide the Tang Dynasty.

Both sides sent troops together, one east and one west.

Arabia took the Western Regions, Longyou, Hexi, and Guanzhong, while Zhang Kang took the land north of Tongguan.

Therefore, Zhang Kang had no intention of taking Chang'an when he was in operation this time. He just planned to occupy Tongguan and tie up the world's number one fortress.

But the Li Tang royal family could not resist being scared and abandoned Chang'an and ran away.

This imperial city that is delivered to the door is useless.

Zhang Kang sent people to withdraw money and grain from Chang'an Prefecture. In order to avoid causing discomfort from future neighbors, he specially ordered that the people of Chang'an not be moved.

Zhang Kang didn't want Chang'an at all, so he naturally would not waste his troops and defense for Chang'an in vain.

Of course, there is a deeper purpose, and Zhang Kang plans to split Tang Ting in two.

If the Western Mosremasa defeated Pei, the result would be the best.

Arabs could not swallow the Tang Dynasty in one breath and after taking over the Western Regions, Longyou, Hexi and Guanzhong, they would be at peace with each other for a long time, so they naturally had enough time to appease the north and advance into Jiangnan.

But Zhang Kang considered one thing, what if Pei wins?

Pei is the regent minister, representing righteousness and the will of the people...

Leaving Chang'an to Li Heng is to create a buffer zone. Let Pei and Li Heng fight each other and reap profits by themselves.

Zhang Tongru was naturally unwilling to explain this detail to An Shouzhong.

When An Shouzhong heard Zhang Tongru carry Zhang Kang out, he didn't dare to say anything else.

At this time, the wild geese in the sky flew past, and it was the news coming from Chang'an. The news was only a short sentence of hatred: "Pei appeared in Chang'an."

This short sentence made Zhang Tongru and Tian Ganzhen frightened even An Shouzhong.

As the leader of the three generals, Zhang Tongru said first: "Hurry, ask for help from the master immediately, and say that Pei has arrived in Chang'an and Tongguan is insufficient. Let him immediately allocate 30,000, no, 50,000... wait, let alone specific numbers, the more reinforcements, the better."

Just listening to Pei, Zhang Tongru was already facing a great enemy.

At this moment, a "boom" sound suddenly came from a long time, and the violent fire illuminated the gray weather like the hot summer noon.

Everyone was shocked and looked up, and saw the flames on the northwest looking building that was closest to the northwest looking building, and the entire looking building had turned into a big torch!

Suddenly there was a sound of killing in the city!

Hearing the sound getting closer, Zhang Tongru shouted: "Don't panic! General Tian, ​​go check the situation quickly; General An, hurry up and mobilize troops and welcome the enemy!"

************

The Uighur cavalry headed north to Tongguan.

Guli Pei Luo left Chang'an for more than thirty miles before he put away his panic, exhaled a long sigh, and frowned again.

In fact, he thought Li Wan's words made sense. The Uighurs were good at riding and shooting, and they were invincible in field battles, and their ability to attack cities was really average. Not to mention natural barriers like Tongguan, even ordinary cities could not be gnawed.

But in that case, he really didn't have the courage to disobey Pei's orders.

It was not until he was far away from Chang'an that Guli Pei Luo dared to stop and think about this issue.

"Did he want me to die? He used the rebel sword to kill us?"

Guli Pei Luo's heart is heavy. If this is the case, it will be a good idea.

On the grassland, he still had the courage to fight Pei, but now in this hinterland in Guanzhong, he didn't even have the idea of ​​confrontation.

"Damn Li Heng, I've gotten to this point."

Guli Pei Luo did not dare to blame Pei, and vented his anger to Li Heng in Lingwu.

When Pei Luo was wandering, a horse came from afar and said loudly: "When Zhanru, Pei Shuai asked Prince Pei Luo to go to Tongguan immediately. Pei Shuai said that the prince didn't know what to do now. He didn't need to think about it. When he arrived at Tongguan, he knew what to do. Also... the white scarf tied on his hand was his own..."

Guli Pei Luo looked at the visitor in surprise, and had no choice but to reach this point, so he issued a marching order loudly.

When Guli Peiluo arrived at the city of Tongguan, the war was rising everywhere in Tongguan.

Guli Peiluo has been through many battles, how could he not know why? He directly issued an order to attack.

Tongguan Prison!

Zhang Jiuling, Song and Wei Jiansu ascended the throne and talked about the officials in the temple.

Zhang Jiuling listened to the shouts of killing outside and laughed: "I'm afraid our death is not far away!"

Song laughed three times and said, "It is worth it to be able to hear such a pleasant sound of killing, even if it is death..."

Wei Jiansu shook his head and said, "I am not the case. Master Wang returned and gave him a lecture. He was unable to see it with his own eyes. This is a great regret."

Li Yan abandoned Chang'an and fled.

When he learned that the emperor had fled, many civil and military ministers in Chang'an chose to escape from Chang'an.

They were slogans of following the court and escaped with confidence.

Zhang Jiuling, Song, Wei Jiansu and others did not choose to escape, but stood up at the critical moment, tried their best to stabilize the situation in Chang'an, and organized resistance, guarding Chang'an, the last face of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Gongsun Xi knew that Zhang Jiuling was Pei's man. Before breaking the city, he specially found Zhang Jiuling, intending to protect him like He Zhizhang, with the power of the Qingyu Alliance.

Zhang Jiuling decisively refused, and with loyal ministers such as Song and Wei Jiansu decided to live and die with Chang'an.

However, the Chang'an defenders mutinied, Zhang Jiuling, Song and Wei Jiansu were captured alive for the rebels and imprisoned the boss in Chang'an.

As the rebels retreated to Tongguan, the three of them also tied back to Tongguan.

The shouts of killing mean that the king's army returns. As prisoners, how could they survive to the end?

With a "boom", the two doors of the prison fell flat.

Then countless bright helmets rushed in with a "hula" sound.
