On the road leading to Chang'an, a long team is marching rapidly, and the loess on the late autumn road trampled by heavy footsteps is flying, and from a distance, it looks like a soil snake dragging for several miles.

The reason why it is called a team and not an army is that these people have completely lost the appearance of an army, the formation is extremely lax, the fine armor is all gone, some soldiers are wearing cloth clothes, some are simply shirtless, the banner is bald, and even weapons such as knives and guns have been thrown away, there is no doubt that even hundreds of robbers and thieves can rob them.

This is the elite army that Li Zhi spent several years of hard work and almost used the power of the Tang Dynasty to build, the Beiya Forbidden Army!

If it weren't for the fact that there was food to eat with the team and that they could go home, I am afraid that this sloppy and sloppy team would no longer be in a queue, and the team with the majesty of the generals would have dispersed long ago.

However, this army is in the hands of the eunuch Li Fuguo, and it has refreshed the marching record since the founding of the Tang Empire, and it took 17 days to return to Guanzhong from Xizhou, which is thousands of miles away, and it is only one day away that you can return to Chang'an!

In such a sloppy team, there are still some elite people, almost all of their horses have run to death, and there is still a heavy cavalry in the Chinese army riding a fierce war horse bent over and moving forward, which is the only elite of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, Huyadu.

Although Li Fuguo can't experience a big battle, he is a politician and an old fritter, and he knows that there must be some reliable people around him, and almost all of the five hundred tiger teeth are bought Jiangyang thieves outlaws or death row prisoners, and they can be regarded as the henchmen of this dead eunuch, even if Li Zhi can't command these people.

On the way to escape, Li Fuguo would rather throw tens of thousands of soldiers in the desert than concentrate war horses for Huyadu to use.

With the sunset of the West Mountain, a large empty area of Guanzhong fertile wilderness, a small county town appeared in the fleeing team, this is has passed Yongzhou, arrived at Xianyang's subordinate Liquan, Chang'an is close at hand, looking at the low city wall rammed by loess, Li Fuguo's already tired white face finally appeared a little relaxed.

At the gate of the city, Cui Sigu, the commander of Liquan County, had already led the county government and his party to wait at the gate, although he had already run like a flower child, and he had lost any honor guards, but Li Fuguo still behaved in a full manner, and he didn't even look at Cui Sigu who knelt to greet him, and rode straight into the county seat.

Li Fuguo's dog-legged son, who is also one of the eunuchs, pointed at Cui Sigu with an orchid even more arrogantly, didn't even get off the horse, and shouted impatiently: "Prepare the grain and grass of the 30,000 army immediately!" Also, the nearby arsenal of weapons, before dawn tomorrow, my father-in-law will see three thousand sets of armor and ten thousand spears! Five thousand knives! ”

"Oops!" Cui Xianling, who was in his forties and had a pig-like head, almost didn't cry when he heard the words, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said again and again: "Father-in-law! Liquan is a lower county, and there are only 1,000 households in the county, where can I get the supplies of the 30,000 army! And the arsenal is not under the control of the small county! ”

"This miscellaneous family doesn't care, if you can't see the military rations, the army will wash your broken city!"

Cui Xianling was dumbfounded, and his father-in-law walked in front of him with his orchid fingers swaggering.

"Father-in-law!" Before he could go far, Cui Xianling suddenly turned around anxiously, kowtowed and asked, "Your Majesty still has a large army fighting in Xizhou, how is it now?" ”

Although he had heard this question more than once along the way, he still touched the sensitive nerves of his eunuch, like a shrew who was in a hurry, and his father-in-law screamed: "Bold! Is it possible for you to inquire about military affairs in vain with a small county order? Where are the samurai? Hit the miscellaneous family! ”

More than a dozen eunuch minions immediately drew their whips fiercely, and whipped them at Cui County Order, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and other Liquan County officials and subordinates without a head or face, seeing Cui Sigu kneeling on the ground and being whipped like a spinning top, the father-in-law scolded proudly: "Mouthy slave, hum!" ”

Today, Liquan County is unlucky, in addition to the military law of the Tang Dynasty, the army will spend the night outside the city, but where do the masters of the Beiya Forbidden Army care about these! More than 30,000 people crowded into the city, not to mention, they also drove the common people out of their homes and seized the houses to live.

Fortunately, he followed Gonggong Li all the way to run a marathon and escaped, which really made these soldiers tired enough, otherwise the army that had completely collapsed in military discipline would not be able to do anything about adultery and plunder?

Even so, Huya, who still has a little energy, still robbed dozens of folk girls to enter the barracks for sexual pleasure, and several officers also joined forces to kidnap a few of the big families in the city, such as the Cui family and the Du family, and wanted to extort 100,000 yuan, and if they didn't give it, they would tear up the ticket!

Several angry big lords shouted angrily with the county order Cui Sigu, where is this the army of the imperial court! It's a bunch of bandits!

However, Cui County ordered himself to even occupy the county office, why did he uphold justice? I had to cry and persuade those families to break their wealth and avoid disasters.

The quarrel outside the county government was a mess, but Li Fuguo, who was in the upper room of the county office, did not have the slightest intention of restraining the army, and as soon as he entered the room, he immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote five letters in a row, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately knocked on the table.

The door creaked open, and several disheveled tiger teeth eunuch minions immediately came in and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed feverishly: "Father-in-law, you command!" ”

"Immediately hand over these five letters to the crown prince Liu's Guan army envoy Qin Guan, the forbidden army commander eunuch Du Zhong, Chang'an Ling Zhan Zikun, Xuanwu Gate guard Kun Zhenglun and the eunuch Huang Hedao, the head of Daming Palace! Be sure to give it to them tonight! Also, we must not let Chang'an stay behind Dai Zhide, and Li Hong, the king of Yong, know that the miscellaneous family is approaching Chang'an! Hear me clearly! ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry!" Several tiger teeth were holding the bamboo tube containing the letter, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and replied, they all relied on Li Fuguo's majesty to bully men and women in the Great Wall. is rampant and domineering, even the family dares to provoke, the ancient political struggle is extremely cruel, once Li Fuguo falls, they will also have to lose their heads, so they can't help but careless.

Seeing the five of them quickly disappear into the already dark sky, Li Fuguo finally let out a sigh of relief, and after a while, his slack-skinned face like a Shar Pei revealed an incomparably feminine smile that only eunuchs have.

This time Li Fuguo knew that the basket he poked was bigger, the last time he escaped, the eldest grandson Wuji unexpectedly came back alive has made Emperor Li Zhi very dissatisfied with himself, this time he escaped with the Beiya Forbidden Army, Li Fuguo knew that if Li Zhi came back alive, he would not be able to cut off a few heads!

is worthy of being a eunuch, ruthless enough! Li Fuguo, who relied on getting close to Li Zhi and taking the risk of a coup d'état to obtain the current position, betrayed Li Zhi without hesitation, and took the Northern Ya Forbidden Army all the way back to Liangzhou.

Once the hundreds of thousands of troops fighting against millions of nomads in the desert run out of food, the disastrous consequences can be imagined, and Li Fuguo has sincerely wanted to put Emperor Gaozong and the Manchu Dynasty to death!

On the other hand, Li Fuguo is also thinking about his future retreat, thanks to Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, he trusts the eunuchs too much, and even the six rates of the crown prince around King Yong, who is in charge of the country, are in the hands of the eunuchs, and the Chang'an Order and the Xuanwu Gate guard are still his confidants Li Fuguo, which gives Li Fuguo a great opportunity!

Thinking of the beauty, Li Fuguo even laughed out loud and arched his fist at the West.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, the old slave has been promoted from humble to the present, please ask Your Majesty to promote the old slave again, let the old slave be Zhao Gao once, hahahaha!"

The cold laughter was like the cry of an owl, adding a bit of gloom to this small county town in chaos.

…………

Xianyang is not far from Chang'an, there are a lot of arsenals and warehouses left from the Sui Dynasty nearby, according to the law of the imperial court, the materials here need to be ordered by the military department and the household department to be used, but now the imperial court has collapsed, and it is not known whether it is alive or dead in Xizhou, where is the forbidden army of Beiya who fled back still cares so much? Directly looted the arsenal near Liquan, more than 100 Cangcao Cangling still wanted to resist, but all of them were killed by the soldiers, and the remaining 30,000 Beiya forbidden army was equipped with 10,000, so it was not an army of burning sticks.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the five messengers sent out last night also returned, and what made Li Fuguo not very satisfied was that they saw two people, Qin Guan, the envoy of the sixth rate of the crown prince, and Kun Zhenglun, the general of the Xuanwu Gate, and the remaining three, the head of the Daming Palace, Huanghe Dao, and Dai Zhide, the guard of Chang'an who suddenly entered the palace, seemed to quarrel last night.

Recently, Songzhou, which is next to Tubo, seems to be not very peaceful, Dai Zhide wants to recruit one or two thousand soldiers to go to Songzhou to defend, the Yellow River Road seems to be a little unwilling, the two of them are very happy in the East Palace, for fear of exposing the target, the secret agent did not go, and because there are police in Songzhou, Chang'an is under martial law, the eunuch Du Zhong, the commander of the forbidden army, and Chang'an Ling Zhan Zikun are arranging martial law tasks, and it is not easy for the huge Chang'an City to contact the two of them, so they can only let Qin Guan convey it on their behalf.

Listening to the messenger's return, Li Fuguo frowned obviously, what the five messengers said was natural, in this case, Chang'an's reaction was normal, but for some reason, there was always a feeling that something was wrong in the heart of this treacherous and cunning eunuch.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Fuguo asked solemnly: "When you arrived in Chang'an, Kun Zhenglun was with Qin Guan?" What are the two of them doing? ”

At the mention of this, the captain of Huyadu, who was the leader, actually showed a look of disgruntle, and replied angrily: "Back to my father-in-law, the two of them are sucking hibiscus!" ”

At the mention of this, Li Fuguo was immediately relieved.
