Ouyang Shuo did not rush to the Prince's Mansion, but recruited a team of personal guards, handed the token given by Li Longji to the team leader, and instructed: "Give this token to the military division, and let the military division dispatch soldiers and horses into the city." ”

"No!" The squad leader turned and left.

The meeting with Li Longji and Yang Guozhong disappointed Ouyang Shuo, these two were determined to withdraw, but Ouyang Shuo would not fulfill their wishes.

With 150,000 elite soldiers in hand, what others want to do but can't do, Ouyang Shuo can. Ouyang Shuo also gradually understood why Pang Tong asked him to visit the crown prince Li Xiang.

As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang lived a very poor life.

From the moment he was appointed as the prince, Li Xiang was under the threat of the two prime ministers Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, and his life was extremely difficult.

During Li Linfu's reign alone, in order to eradicate the prince's party, Li Linfu set off two major cases through Li Xiang's wife and in-laws, and Li Xiang was forced to divorce twice, which can be described as extremely sad and suffered great physical and mental trauma.

Yang Guozhong succeeded as prime minister, and he and Li Xiang fought openly and secretly, Chang'an City was calm on the surface, but there were dangers inside. It wasn't until the Anshi Rebellion broke out that Li Xiang found an opportunity to fight back.

There is no doubt that the mastermind behind the Ma Weiyi Mutiny in history was the crown prince Li Xiang.

Tang Xuanzong fled to Shu to avoid chaos, with 3,000 forbidden troops, and Li Heng's rear team of the palace had 2,000 people, including the elite troops in the forbidden army-Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

On 14 June, the fleeing party arrived at Maweiyi, and the soldiers of the forbidden army were exhausted by hunger and had already complained, and the commotion of the ranks provided an excellent opportunity for Li Heng, who was secretly manipulating and plotting the mutiny.

Yang Guozhong was chased to death by the well-arranged forbidden army to the west gate of Ma Weiyi, and his head was cut off, and his son Yang Xuan and his wife Han were also killed by the rebels.

Li Heng single-handedly planned the Ma Wei mutiny and killed the Yang family, pointing the spearhead at Tang Xuanzong. Xuanzong's entry into Shu is irreversible, and it is imperative for father and son to part ways.

On July 9, the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Li Heng arrived at Lingwu, the base camp of the Shuofang army, and after some arrangement and planning, on July 12, a simple enthronement ceremony was held in the south gate tower of Lingwu City.

At this point, the Anshi Rebellion ushered in another turning point.

Hearing that Ouyang Shuo was visiting, Li Xiang did not dare to slack off and personally introduced him into the house.

At this time, Li Xiang was forty-five years old, and he was no longer a personable young man, but a middle-aged man with a slightly obese body and a sad face.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't have imagined that such a prince would have the courage to launch a mutiny. Ma Weiyi's mutiny was by no means temporary, according to the calculation of time, Li Xiang was already planning this matter at this time.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill Prime Minister Yang Guozhong by extraordinary means?" Ouyang Shuo got straight to the point.

"Bang dang!"

The delicate ceramic teacup smashed on the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere. By the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the tea ceremony had begun to rise, and the era in which the tea saint Lu Yu lived was before and after the Anshi Rebellion.

Li Xiang didn't seem to notice it, his face turned pale instantly, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, what you said, I, I, I, I listen, I don't understand." ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, what you want to do, with the 150,000 soldiers and horses I lead, I can help you do it in Chang'an, and there will be no surprises." By the way, tell Your Highness the news that Your Majesty has allowed me to transfer troops into the city to assist in the defense, and maybe I will already enter the city at this time. ”

Li Xiang's heart trembled, waved away the servant who was about to clean up the teacup, forced himself to calm down, and said, "If that's the case, what do I need to do?" ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded approvingly and said, "Has Your Highness heard a word?" ”

"I want to hear about it!" Li Xiang lowered his posture very low.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies."

Li Xiang was stunned, these words came from later generations, used to describe the Ming Dynasty, he naturally had never heard of it, but in connection with the situation at this time, Li Xiang figured out the deep meaning of the words, "You mean, you want me to stay in Chang'an?" ”

"Why, don't you dare?"

Li Xiang was very frustrated, he was the prince anyway, but he had no momentum at all in front of this stranger, he was suppressed, gritted his teeth and said: "Tongguan was captured by the rebels, stay in Chang'an, can you hold it?" ”

Worried about the safety of Chang'an City is only one of them, Li Xiang actually has a careful thought, he wants to contact Guo Ziyi and other Jiedu envoys, that is the army of the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, not like the Inhuman troops outside the city.

Ouyang Shuo's dark eyes seemed to see Li Xiang's thoughts clearly, and said lightly: "Whether you can keep it or not, that's my business, Your Highness doesn't need Your Highness." ”

Li Xiang's face tightened, and the hand clenched in his sleeve clenched into a fist.

"Humiliation, this is a naked-naked-naked humiliation of imperial power!"

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to stay long, got up and said, "The big change is tonight, please make preparations early." ”

At this time, Ouyang Shuo was very much like the powerful ministers in history who did things without authorization, such as Huo Guang and Dong Zhuo. In the eyes of Li Xiang and others, he is a first-class demon king.

Li Xiang stood in place, not knowing how to react.

Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo said lightly: "Please also remember one sentence, there is a lack of loyalty, fierce generals, and people with lofty ideals in this Chang'an City, but there is no shortage of princes." ”

Li Xiang's fist-clenched nails slowly embedded in the flesh, painful to the heart.

…………

Leaving the Prince's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo led his troops to the mansion arranged by Li Longji for him, and Feng Prisoner, Pang Tong, Shi Hu and others were already waiting in the mansion.

Pang Tong received the token sent by Ouyang Shuo, and immediately understood, and immediately transferred 30,000 mountain barbarian hoplites and 3,000 Shenwu guards into the city to take over the city gates and passes in the city.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an City is already under the control of our army." Pang Tong reported.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "It's still the military advisor who knows me." Next, how to make Li Longji obediently abdicate, and how to arrange for the crown prince Li Xiang to ascend the throne, still needs to be arranged by military divisions. ”

Since Li Xiang was destined to ascend to the throne through a mutiny, Ouyang Shuo simply fulfilled him, but the base was no longer Lingwu City in history, but Chang'an City.

In this way, it is more justified.

Through this move, Ouyang Shuo can also control the discourse of the Tang Dynasty camp in one fell swoop, and mobilize the strength of the entire Tang Dynasty to deal with the rebels, instead of fighting alone.

"Your Majesty, rest assured." Pang Tong was full of confidence.

However, the phoenix prisoner still looked puzzled and asked, "Wuyi, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd, you don't really want to stick to Chang'an City, right?" ”

"Is there anything wrong?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"Big mistake." The phoenix prisoner was extremely angry, "In addition to the mountain barbarian hoplites, the remaining 120,000 troops brought by you and me are all cavalry, how to defend the city, and how to defend it?" ”

"If it's just defending the city, it won't lead to a decisive victory, I have an idea." As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo revealed his plan and plan.

After speaking, the entire conference hall was silent for a while.

"You're crazy!" The phoenix exclaimed.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and said nothing, Gaia's deduction of the battle plot to such a special time node had already tied a dead knot for the Tang Dynasty camp.

If you want to break the extraordinary situation, you have to do extraordinary things, and you must not follow Gaia's way of thinking.

"This is the only way to win, Feng Wu, you have to believe me." Ouyang Shuo tried to convince the phoenix.

The phoenix prisoner smiled bitterly and said, "I'm on your thief ship, what else can I do." ”

The plan is in place, everyone acts separately, the rebels may enter Chang'an City at any time, and there is not much time left for them, and they must race against time.

…………

Luoyang.

Just when Ouyang Shuo was talking to Li Longji, Di Chen also saw An Lushan.

It is very difficult for people like An Lushan to trust others, and An Lushan, who was born as a warlord, practices a truth: "Whoever has more armies will have big fists; Whoever has the big fist is the boss. ”

Emperor Chen's 300,000 army suddenly descended on Luoyang, putting a lot of pressure on An Lushan. An Lushan originally wanted to give Cui Qianyou, who took Tongguan, an order that he didn't have to wait for the follow-up troops to take Chang'an directly, but was stopped by Emperor Chen.

"There are 150,000 alien troops stationed in Chang'an, and Cui Qianyou is killing Chang'an at this time, which is simply sending him to death. If you are not careful, you may even be taken advantage of by the enemy to recapture Tongguan. Di Chen said.

An Lushan was a little unconvinced, "The other party's Inhuman troops are so powerful?" ”

"Although I don't want to admit it, the other party will only be more powerful than you think." Even if he had the upper hand, Di Chen did not dare to despise that opponent in the slightest.

That's a miracle worker.

An Lushan asked, "Then, in your opinion, how should you act?" ”

"Let Cui Qianyou's troops stay at Tongguan and don't step out. Wait for me to lead the army to Tongguan and then act together, and set foot in Chang'an with the momentum of thunder. ”

"What if they run away?"

Di Chen smiled, "If you really want to run, then it's the best." ”

…………

It's night, Chang'an.

30,000 mountain barbarian hoplites were stationed in Chang'an City, making the already rumored capital more and more lively.

Some say that this army was evacuated to protect His Majesty the Emperor; Some people also say that the army is here to guard Chang'an; There are even bizarre rumors that the army is here to occupy Chang'an.

Anyway, when night falls, Chang'an City has a routine curfew. Unlike in the past, the soldiers who were responsible for patrolling the main streets of Chang'an City were replaced by mountain barbarian soldiers stationed during the day.

Xingqing Palace and the Prince's Mansion are the key objects of the army.

This night, Chang'an City is destined to be not peaceful.

In the night, first three thousand divine guards suddenly rushed into Xingqing Palace, and with lightning speed, they took down the one thousand guards stationed in the palace and completely controlled Xingqing Palace.

Then, the crown prince Li Xiang came and gave his father, Emperor Tang Xuanzong, a face-to-face conversation.

When Li Xiang left Xingqing Palace, Tang Xuanzong collapsed to the ground, and beside him was Yang Guifei, who was still radiant, pitiful, with teary eyes, and very lovable.

"Rebel, rebel!"

Tang Xuanzong was full of unwillingness, and kept cursing in his mouth, but no one paid attention to it.

The solemn Xingqing Palace, which used to be solemn, suddenly became cold, like a cold palace.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion ushered in a team of fierce soldiers, and without saying a word, they killed Yang Guozhong, the prime minister who was still calculating others, on the spot, and bled five steps.

This night, Chang'an City changed.
