Jingshi, Chang'an.

It was February 20th, but Li Yi felt that Chang'an was still frozen in the cold winter, the sky was gloomy and there was no sunlight, the cold wind was whimpering, and the voice was desolate.

After being the emperor for six years, it was only at this time that he discovered that the Tang Empire was not as impregnable as he originally imagined, but a building that was about to collapse, dilapidated everywhere, but could not find a pillar to support.

Huang Chao's inscription was like the cold winter that had just passed, and it spread to Chang'an with a biting chill.

Li Jing summoned important ministers in Yanying Hall to discuss matters, and the four prime ministers of Dou Lu Yao, Cui Xin, Yu Cong, and Li Wei came, but Lu Xian said that he was sick and lay in the mansion.

As soon as Dou Lu Yao and Cui Xin entered the hall, they couldn't help but burst into tears and choked up. Who would have thought that this situation would be so bad.

Li Yi was also a little master of the six gods at this time, although he wanted to cheer up, but now he was only an eighteen-year-old son of heaven. His eyes swept over the ministers, but he saw that everyone was bowing their heads, and he couldn't help but look at Tian Lingzi, who had been extremely low-key recently.

Seeing the emperor's expectant gaze, Tian Lingzi broke the silence and calmly played: "Please quickly select the elite from the left and right Shence army, and the minister is willing to personally lead them to Tongguan to defend against the enemy." ”

At this time, Cui Anqian, Zhang Zimian, and Du Xian had already led 20,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to Tongguan, and Tongguan was not a dangerous place.

However, Li Yi was greatly comforted when he heard this, although his father also had many bad things, but at this critical time. It's still loyal in times of crisis.

It's just that. This is the time now. Li Yi is also inseparable from Tian Lingzi. What's more, Tian Lingzi has never led soldiers to fight, and at this time, let him go to Tongguan, Li Yi is still a little worried.

What's more critical is that although Chang'an's Shence Army was originally quite elite, since Tian Lingzi purged the Shence Army and wantonly rejected those generals and leading officers who refused to surrender to him, the current combat effectiveness of the Shence Army is low. And there are a lot of impostors.

"The soldiers of the guards, they haven't experienced a real battle for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the Yellow Nest."

Although Tongguan has a commander like Cui Anqian, the total number of soldiers and horses in Tongguan does not exceed 30,000. And what about the Yellow Nest? It is claimed that there are 600,000 soldiers and horses, although this is an exaggeration, but it is said that all the soldiers and horses of Huangchao plus 400,000 people have it. 400,000 people, among which there must be more than 100,000 elite thieves.

At present, Huangchao has just invaded Luoyang, the eastern capital of the undefended city, and Liu Yunzhang, who was left behind in the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, actually led the officials and people of the eastern capital to the outskirts of the city to greet him, just like they used to welcome the Son of Heaven on patrol.

Huang Chao took the eastern capital Luoyang without spending a single soldier. I was very happy. On the contrary, robbery and adultery are used, but consolation and questioning. Don't kill a single person. The military discipline of the "Righteous Army" is like that, and the neighborhood and township are in good order...

Although the loss of Luoyang was related to the imperial court's order to Cui Anqian and others to retreat to Tongguan, the surrender of officials in Luoyang still disappointed the imperial court.

At such a time, how could Tian Lingzi really be willing to go to Tongguan to resist the 600,000 thief army. He just took advance as retreat, so as soon as the emperor's words came out, Tian Lingzi immediately turned his mouth and praised the emperor, "Your Majesty is wise, and the sacred heart is far-sighted!" The thief army is strong, Tongguan may indeed not be able to stop the grass thief, but it is not that there is no other way, when the emperor was rebelled by An Lushan, he once patrolled the Shu land. ”

As soon as these words came out, several important ministers who had no master of the original six gods immediately understood.

Cui Xin immediately followed the words and supported Tian Gonggong's plan, "At the beginning, An Lushan attacked Tongguan, and there were only 50,000 people, but now Huangchao has an army of 600,000. ”

Prime Minister Dou Lu Yao also immediately said: "Back then, Ge Shuhan led an army of 150,000 and failed to hold Tongguan, and now Huangchao has an army of 600,000, but Tongguan is impossible to make up an army of 150,000, how can it be defended?" ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, he was worried about the combat effectiveness of the Divine Forbidden Army just now, but he didn't mean that he planned to give up Chang'an. Who would have thought that this topic had suddenly turned to giving up Chang'an and touring Shuzhong.

These ministers, after giving up Luoyang, are about to give up Chang'an.

At the beginning, the ministers said that they would give up Luoyang on the grounds of defending Chang'an. But now that the war has not been fought, they actually want him to give up Chang'an. Although Li Yi is young, it is difficult to accept. Tian Lingzi didn't notice the dissatisfaction in the emperor's eyes, but he was still persuading the emperor to go to Shuzhong.

Li Yi finally couldn't help it, snorted coldly, and said to Tian Lingzi: "Needless to say, Qing sent troops for me to guard Tongguan." ”

Tian Lingzi, who was talking about it, was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to have such a resolute reaction today, and directly rejected his proposal.

Tian Lingzi was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses. He thought about it and did not persuade the emperor.

In the current situation, he felt that if he waited a few more days, the emperor would be more anxious than himself.

You must know that Huangchao has an army of 400,000, and Tongguan is now only 30,000 horses. As for the soldiers and horses of other aspects of the court, how can there be any other aspects of soldiers and horses. Hezhong Town and Zhongwu Town have been separated and independent, and the soldiers and horses of the five towns of Hedong, Zhenwu, Tiande, Datong, and Xiayin, which were previously mobilized by the imperial court, went south.

Li Ke used this unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, taking advantage of the opportunity of the five towns to go south, after capturing the four states of Xin, Wu, Confucian, and Concubine of the Lu Long Army, he suddenly killed a horse pistol and turned around to kill the Wei Dynasty.

As soon as they heard the news, they immediately ignored the safety of the imperial court, and the three tribes of Sage, Anqing, and Qibi all went directly back to Daibei.

Even Zheng Congyan at this time could only obey the request of the soldiers in Hedong and lead the army back to rescue Taiyuan. As a result, although the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Zhenwu, Tiande, and Xia Yin had the intention to go south, there were too few soldiers and horses, so they had to return to Hedong.

The Hedong reinforcements that the imperial court was most looking forward to were gone, and the reinforcements from the southeast could not come, and the reinforcements from Henan were even more hopeless.

Tian Lingzi thought about it for a while, and recommended three substitute ghosts to the emperor, Zhang Chengfan, the general of the Left Shence Army, Wang Shihui, the general of the Right Shence Army, and Zhao Ke, the commander of the Left Shence Army.

Li Jing appointed three generals to immediately select soldiers and horses, prepare to go to Tongguan. At the same time, Li Yi also appointed Tian Lingzi, who controlled the Shence Army, as the commander-in-chief of the Shence Army and the soldiers and horses of the towns in Guanzhong, responsible for all the troops, and appointed Yang Fugong, another great eunuch in the palace, as the deputy commander-in-chief.

In the next few days, the situation in the Tang Empire continued to deteriorate, as Tian Lingzi expected.

Taining Jiedu made Qi Kerang flee in Henan for a period of time, and finally failed to escape back to Taining, his way back to the east was blocked by Zhu Wen and Ge from Tuesday, the most reluctantly this marshal dangled in the towns, gathered thousands of defeated soldiers, and fought a little autumn wind from the towns, and finally had no choice but to retreat into Tongguan with the defeated soldiers.

On February 27, Huangchao's army captured Yuzhou.

Seeing that Huang Chao was getting closer and closer, the court was even more panicked.

On the 28th, the imperial court ordered Luo Yuanzhen, the general of Zuo Shence, to be the envoy of Heyang, which was next to Luoyang, separated by a river. The imperial court hoped that after he arrived, he would be able to counterattack Luoyang from the flank and hold back Huangchao, and on the other hand, it also hoped that Heyang Town could block the westward advance of the Hebei rebel Wei Bozhen.

At the same time, Li Yi, the Son of Heaven, issued an edict to take Wang Chongrong as the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, Zhou Qi as the envoy of the Loyal Army, Qin Zongquan as the envoy of the Fengguo Army, Lu Yanhong as the envoy of the Loyal Army, and Li Keyong as the envoy of the Yanmen Festival.

These appointments not only whitewashed the mutinous and rebellious Zhongwu Town and Hezhong Town, but also made the three army leaders who were split in Zhongwu Town as Jiedu envoys, and especially established the two towns of Fengguo and Zhongguo.

And even Li Keyong, who rebelled for the second time, endured it at this time, not only did not investigate his guilt, but also built the land of Xin, Dai, Wei, Xin, Wu, Confucian, and Concubine that Li Keyong now occupies as Yanmen Town, and officially gave Li Keyong as the envoy of the Yanmen Festival.

At this time, the imperial court was still counting on using this kind of small favor to make Wang Chongrong, Zhou Qi, Qin Zongquan, Lu Yanhong, Li Keyong and others, who had already become a rebel, work for the imperial court again and deal with Huangchao for the imperial court.

By this time, the festival has been wholesale like Chinese cabbage.

However, the holy decree is easy to make, but after these holy decrees are issued, it is difficult to say whether the towns will really obey the decree and send troops.

Leaving from the Yanying Palace, Li Yi leaned on the soft couch in the imperial study, and the whole person seemed to collapse.

There was a thick pile of folds on the imperial case, and almost all of them were trying to persuade him to move to Shuzhong.

This is a difficult decision, Li Yi is still insisting in his heart, he doesn't want to give up Chang'an. Luoyang has been lost, do you want to lose Chang'an?

Full of up and down, there is no available talent.

Li Yi let out a long sigh, feeling extremely tired.

A rush of footsteps sounded outside, and Li Yi frowned and opened his eyes. It was Zhang Tai who caught his eye.

"Great victory, Your Majesty, Hebei great victory!"

The words of Hebei Dajie fell into Li Yu's ears, making the tired emperor stand up all of a sudden.

"Aiqing, what is the Hebei victory?" Li Yi hurriedly asked.

Zhang Tai hurriedly handed over a letter box in his hand, and shouted with joy and excitement: "Your Majesty, it is the great victory of Hebei, the king of Qin led an army of 80,000 to the south, first fought with the rebels in Zhuozhou and Guiyi, and annihilated more than 50,000 enemies in a battle. Then the army swept through more than ten counties of Mo and Ying. Just three days ago, the King of Qin divided his troops to guard the three passes of Mozhou, isolated the rebels of Lulong and Yiwu in Youzhou, and then led the army to surround the heavy city of Yingzhou and the river, threatening Chengde, forcing Wang Jingchong to give up the captured Cangzhou to recapture the river with 110,000 soldiers and horses, the two armies fought a big battle, Wang Jingchong was defeated, and the King of Qin beheaded more than 50,000 again.
