"I don't know what General Pang's plans are, although there are still 8,000 soldiers and horses left, he can also do a lot. Sui Feng turned around and looked at the sergeants behind him, although they had suffered defeat, the land of Tongguan had not been defended after all, and the faces of these soldiers only had a look of self-blame, but there was no look of frustration.

Nodding secretly in his heart, it is indeed commendable that these soldiers can have such morale. But I don't know what happened to General Geshu, who led the army out of the city from afar and took the initiative to attack.

Pang Zhong saw that Suifeng asked, shook his head and said: "The last general is incompetent, he can't hold Tongguan, where is there still the face to give orders, everything is up to the general." Since the general asked this question, he must have already made a bamboo in his heart, right?"

Sui Feng didn't answer, and then said slowly: "At this moment, General Geshu's whereabouts are undecided, and it is not easy for me to make a decision." If the general Desheng triumphs, we can take advantage of the situation, and we can attack with General Geshu on both sides and recapture Tongguan in one fell swoop. He also punished the 100,000 rebels in this city. If the general's unfortunate attack is blocked, we might as well retreat to Chang'an and let His Majesty know as soon as possible, so that the defenders of Chang'an can prepare in advance. For now, however, our top priority is to protect ourselves, if the rebels in the city decide to cut down the grass and root out of the city to pursue us. If there is no movement in the city, we might as well be stationed outside this Tongguan city. In this way, if the rebels have the slightest desire to covet Chang'an, we can also know as soon as possible. ”

When Pang Zhong heard this, his words were clear and inclusive, and although he was a teenager in front of him, he couldn't help but admire him greatly. At this point. It finally became clear why Ge Shuhan had to tell them to listen to the wind when he was leaving.

"Okay, that's it. I'm going to send a book to ask about General Geshu's current situation. Pang Zhong nodded again and again, and was just about to give the order to send out flying pigeons, when suddenly he heard a "cooing" sound coming from above his head.

The two of them couldn't help but look up, only to see dozens of white flying pigeons hovering above their heads, slowly circling around the camp.

"This is General Geshu's carrier pigeon, could it be that the battle report came from the front line?" Pang Zhong was overjoyed to see this flying pigeon. It's a little worrying again. In general. The main general is fighting on the front line, and there are only two possibilities for taking the initiative to send battle reports to the rear, or the army is progressing smoothly and the battle is victorious. More likely, though. Suffered a defeat. As a last resort, he asked for help from the rear. Or remind the rear to be prepared.

"Quick, call these flying pigeons down and see what message is coming!" Pang Zhong said urgently.

Soon, a soldier handed over a thin bamboo tube stained with blood. "There are more than 30 flying pigeons in the sky above the camp, and each of them has such a bamboo tube tied to its legs. The last general took one and asked the general to look at it. ”

Pang Zhong didn't say much, he went directly over the bamboo tube, shook it gently, and a slender cloth fell from it.

Pang Zhong slowly unfolded the cloth, and only saw that there was a faint red on the cloth, which was actually a blood book written in blood!

Pang Zhong only glanced at it, his body shook suddenly, his face was dead, and he silently handed the cloth in his hand to Sui Feng, and said a little dryly: "This is the battle report from the front line, read it yourself." ”

"On the eighth day of the first month, General Ge Shu led the army to fight a decisive battle with the thieves in the north of the Yellow River, Wang Sili led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack first, and General Ge Shu personally led an army of 100,000 to follow. Unexpectedly, the rebels pretended to be weak and fled. General Geshu thought that the general situation had been decided, and led the army to pursue. Entering the pass by mistake, countless rolling wood and stones rained down. The soldiers were killed and wounded innumerable, because of the danger of the pass, our army had no room for turnover, and General Geshu knew that the general situation was not good, and led the army to break through. After another series of hard battles, the number of troops was checked, and there was not one out of ten of the 200,000 troops. Only seven or eight thousand people remained, and General Geshu commanded the generals to pull out the fire and Guiren to plot against him, and the general defected ......"

The contents of the letter came to an abrupt end here, and it was evident that the person who had written such a letter wanted to write something more, but was forced to stop by some external force. The letter has no beginning or end, and there is no signature, and I don't know who left it.

Sui Feng and Pang Zhong read several other letters, although the wording was different, but the content was the same.

The two raised their heads and looked at each other, and there was a gloom in their eyes.

Sui Feng took a breath, calmed down, and said, "General Pang, don't panic, what is said in this letter may not be true, and let me do the trick." ”

Pang Zhong has also heard a lot, Sui Feng is a fairy with magical powers, and he is also very curious about what kind of means he uses to divination, when he even said: "It's okay, the general is himself." ”

With the wind, his eyes were slightly closed, his feet stepped on Yu, and he walked up in this tent. As he walked, his fingers kept pinching. He obviously didn't walk fast, but in the tent there was a whirlwind out of thin air, blowing the curtains around him and trembling. Pang Zhong's eyes were bright, staring at the wind.

After a while, Sui Feng's footsteps stopped, with a gloomy expression, and sighed lightly, "I just calculated the 200,000 Tang Army's good fortunes, but found that most of them have turned into dead souls. Only a small fraction survived, and General Geshu's fate was bleak, and it seems that the letter is true. ”

Pang Zhong was silent for a long time before asking, "Then what should we do now?"

"Withdraw!" Sui Feng did not hesitate, "The rebels first captured General Geshu and then captured the land of Tongguan, which is the time when arrogance is at its peak." Once they were in order, the first thing they did was to go out of the city and destroy the remnants of us. At this moment, while they have not yet gained a firm foothold, we will retreat quickly, and retreat into Chang'an City first, so that there will be a guarantee for the time being. ”

"Okay! Pang Zhong did not hesitate, understood the key to this, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to retreat to Chang'an overnight.

————————

At this time, Luoyang City was silent, except for the footsteps of the soldiers patrolling around, nothing else could be heard. In the abandoned palace of the previous Wu Zhou period, there was a song and dance. A group of scantily clad dancers shuttled back and forth in the main hall, singing and dancing, but under them sat the rebel soldiers.

These people drank and had fun together, and they were so happy watching Gong E dance.

It's just strange that the top of the palace is empty. The place that symbolizes the Ninety-Five, the co-lord of the world.

These people did not find it strange in the slightest, and did not look at it, as if they had never seen it as a dragon chair.

"All stand down, stand down!"

Suddenly, a low general came out of the hall, this person was low, with an abominable face, a hooked nose, and blue eyes, and he was actually a Hu general.

As soon as he shouted so loudly, those dancing girls were startled, and they seemed to be very afraid of this person. Qi Qi stopped their respective dances, and didn't dare to say a word, silently bowed their heads and retreated out of the hall.

The generals below were disturbed by Yaxing, but they didn't complain at all, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at the Hu generals.

"Alright, you guys stand down too. Your Majesty is coming, and you have important things to do here. The Hu general waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The generals under the seat all stood up, bowed down to the Hu man, and retreated neatly.

It is a little unbelievable that such a Hu person is called the prime minister by them. However, this land of Luoyang has long been captured by the rebels, so it is obvious that there are rebels in this palace. And the identity of the Hu man who was called the prime minister by other generals is not difficult to guess, and it should be An Lushan.

Seeing that everyone in the hall had retreated, An Lushan shouted and said, "Your Majesty, the generals below have all retreated." ”

"You did a good job this time, we won Tongguan, then Chang'an will be at your fingertips, you should make a great achievement!"

A clear voice came from the side of the hall, and then, a young man in a golden Nine Dragons robe slowly paced, walked into the hall, and sat down in front of the dragon chair in the middle.

If you are here with the wind, you can recognize it at once, but who is Murong Xuanfeng sitting on the dragon chair?

"Don't dare, don't dare, our army can win one victory after another, all because His Majesty has good command and strategy. Only then can the Tang army be defeated, and Weichen is just acting according to His Majesty's will, where dare to take credit. An Lushan bowed deeply and said respectfully.

"Okay, okay, don't say that. Say that your credit is yours, and no one can take it away. You push it to me, I am the king of a country, what is the use of asking for so much credit?" Murong Xuanfeng waved his hand, stopped An Lushan's words, and then said: "I called you here, you should know what is going on, right?"

An Lushan heard Murong Xuanfeng ask, and hurriedly said, "Naturally, I know that Your Majesty is ready for peace of mind." Someone, bring that brother Shuhan up!"

I heard someone answer from outside the hall, and soon, several rebels pressed a bloodstained man up to the main hall. Isn't this embarrassed person Ge Shuhan, who said goodbye to the wind in Tongguan City a few days ago?

Murong Xuanfeng stood up from the dragon chair with a brush, walked straight to Ge Shuhan, and said with a smile: "General Ge Shu is fortunate to be in this meeting, and I have long admired your name for expanding the territory." If it weren't for Lushan to invite you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to meet you. ”

The long-term illness and the shadow of defeat all deeply affected him, and little by little hollowed out the essence of his body. He looked like an old man on the verge of death.

An Lushan stepped forward, looked at Ge Shuhan condescendingly, and sneered: "Ge Shuhan, you looked down on me in the past, how about now, haven't you been invited here by me?" (To be continued......)
