The sound of drums in the camp was rumbling, and long horns were rising one after another. Countless soldiers held halberds and knives, rushed to the schoolyard and returned to the building. The groom carried the essence and walked towards the stables, feeding the horses with full food.

After Gu Qing's military order was issued, the Anxi Army, which had been silent for a long time, started to move again.

Chang Zhong, Chen Tian and other generals stood on the school ground. The cold wind in late autumn blew across the plains, making shrill crying sounds on the solemn school ground.

According to Gu Qing's deployment, the generals ordered their troops and hurriedly drove out of the camp.

This time, there was no pre-war mobilization, everything was carried out suddenly and quietly. After ordering the troops, the generals led their troops out of the camp. The huge camp quickly became empty, leaving only Gu Qing's guards guarded outside the tent.

Watching the army leave the camp, Gu Qing stood outside the tent and sighed leisurely.

Every battle is actually a gamble. There is no seamless strategy in the world. What you can calculate, and the enemy can also calculate. Win and defeat are between the coach's thoughts. When the enemy cannot calculate, it is victory.

Song Gensheng did not follow the army, he was a civil servant, so he should stay in the camp.

Walking behind Gu Qing, Song Gensheng whispered: "Seeing you giving orders in the coach's tent, so many generals dare not breathe in front of you. You are really different from before, and you are so majestic."

Gu Qing turned around and said, "The soldiers are convinced by me, and I treat them with sincerity. It is so simple between the coach and the soldiers."

Song Gensheng sighed: "When you and I were in Shiqiao Village, I never thought that you would have a day to support the country. Feng Aweng said, "You were born extraordinary, Shiqiao Village is destined to be unable to retain you, and you have a broader world. Today, what Feng Aweng said is true."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "You are not bad either. I haven't seen you for several years. I found that you have really grown a lot."

Song Gensheng said sadly: "After experiencing such a painful lesson, if you can't grow up, how can you be worthy of those heroes who died for me? Only when the pain can a man transform and grow up. They are my pain and will never be ashamed of my life."

"Gensheng, Yu Sheng is worthy of them only if he lives like this. Do you still remember the dream you said when you were in Shiqiao Village?"

"Remember, I said I want to be an official, be a good official, guard the emperor's shepherd and benefit the people."

"Remember what you said, although the world is in chaos, it will not last long. After the chaos, there will be great governance. During the great governance, the court needs many good officials to appease the people who have been in chaos over the years, let them settle down and continue their prosperous life."

Song Gensheng's eyes were confused: "Is the prosperous age still there?"

Gu Qing smiled: "I am here, and the prosperous age will be there."

Song Gensheng said in surprise: "You..."

Gu Qing patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. What I am doing is actually the same as your dream. The difference is that what I want to benefit the people of the world. If rebellion is pacified, the rise and fall of the world will no longer be decided by the emperor."

"I need a group of people of faith to support this prosperous age with me."

…………

After a rush to march for one day and one night, three thousand troops from Chentian's troops arrived near Tangzhou City, and the scouts sent thirty miles away to inquire about the rebel movements.

Then the forefront found a vast forest fifty miles outside the city of Tangzhou. The forest was not high at altitude but dense jungle. At the foot of the mountain was an open plain area suitable for cavalry charges.

Chen Tian took a look at the forest at first sight, and then ordered three thousand soldiers to ambush the forest, and asked the soldiers to tie countless flags to the trunks, tie branches behind the ponytails, and galloped back and forth on the dry and flat ground. With a burst of smoke and dust, the forest quickly became weird.

Looking at this forest from a distance, I saw the smoke and dust in the forest. Although it was quiet and silent, there was a hidden murderous intent. Countless flags could be seen covering the sky and the sun, and it was faintly visible in the forest, as if there were 100,000 elite soldiers ambushing this forest, which was creepy.

After everything was arranged, Chentian divided two thousand soldiers and marched towards Tangzhou City in a swagger. The remaining 1,000 people were still deploying suspicious soldiers in the mountains and forests. As long as they were not lazy, one thousand people could create the momentum of 100,000 ambushing soldiers in the forest.

Thirty miles away from the city, the rebels in the city had already discovered the traces of Chentian's troops. In shock, they hurried out to the city to fight. Chentian kept in mind Gu Qing's military order and did not fight head-on with the rebels. The two armies chased and retreated at once. In this way, they fought and retreated. Two thousand soldiers led the rebels to the forest that had been arranged in advance.

The rebel general accidentally glanced forward while chasing him, and then was shocked.

The smoke and dust rolled in the mountains and forests, and flags were waving. It was obvious that there were ambushes. The rebel general hurriedly ordered a stop and sent a scout to inquire about the truth. The scout rode his horse around the flank. As soon as he approached the mountains, he was shot and killed by the troops from Shentian.

The scouts could not inquire, but the smoke and dust in the mountains were getting thicker and thicker. The rebel generals were suspicious, but they really didn't dare to take risks to attack. While he was hesitating, a rumbling drum sound suddenly came from the mountains and forests. Then, there were shouts of killing from all directions. The rebels were like the Chu army surrounded by the Han army in Gaixia. They only heard the sound of sings on all sides of the army, and the morale of the army was suddenly shaken.

It is impossible to verify whether there are ambushers in the mountains and forests. Just by the movement of the earth and the mountains, the rebel generals knew that they had to retreat. Even if there were no ambushers, the morale of the soldiers under their command would be shaken at this time. If they did not retreat, they would be completely wiped out by the other party.

So the rebels quickly retreated and retreated to Tangzhou City. They hurried inside the city and never dared to leave the city again.

Soon, a fast horse suddenly rushed out of Tangzhou City and hurried north without looking back.

In the mountains and forests outside the city, Chen Tian showed a relieved smile on his face when he heard the scout's return, looked to the north, and murmured: "Very good, the rebels have reported to the ambush in the north, my mission has been completed, and 20,000 rebels have been restrained by me in the city of Tangzhou. Let's see them next..."

Then Chen Tian curled his lips and sighed helplessly: "This time I became a idler. I am afraid it will not be my turn to make military achievements. I am also a maid. I will definitely grab the battle next time before those miscellaneous items. I will never help anymore!"

At the same time, Chang Zhong and Liu Hongbo's troops were 30,000 troops, as well as Xian Yu Zhongtong and Quhuan's troops, were speeding towards Xuzhou in the north.

Facing the bitter wind, Xian Yu Zhongtong was riding on the horse and couldn't open his eyes because of the cold wind. The bumps on the horse's back also made his abdomen very uncomfortable, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

Qu Huan next to him saw that he was so uncomfortable, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Shiyu Jie, you don't have to join the war in person, just find a secluded place to rest."

Xian Yu Zhongtong shook his head: "This is the first battle since the Shu army soldiers left Shu. I have to supervise the battle himself. The Shu army and the Anxi Army have to play in the first battle. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to seek military merits from Gu Qing..."

Qu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jishuan. I thought Mr. Gu had arranged the arrangements properly. If there was no accident, I would definitely win this battle. The military achievements of the sky are already waiting for Jishuan. I would like to congratulate Jishuan in advance."

This sentence has entered Xianyu Zhongtong's heart.

After going through hardships, he followed the army to the battlefield. Why did Xian Yu Zhongtong, a weak scholar, want to write his name on the credit book? If he could make more contributions in the fight against rebellion, he, the governor of Jiannandao, might be able to go to a higher level. He would be like Gu Qing to have a throne in the position of Hou County, or something, and would be blessed with his descendants.

The cold wind was biting, and Xian Yu Zhongtong gritted his teeth and endured the cold, squinted his eyes and looked at the road ahead, and suddenly sighed: "Fifty-months per head, tsk, Gu Qing is really willing to spend a lot of money..."

Qu Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Gu said that the three armies should be treated equally. If our Hexi Army and Shu Army soldiers also cut off their heads, I don't know that Mr. Gu's words would still count..."

Xian Yu Zhongtong thought about it and said, "I have known this man for a long time. Although he was a little slick back then, he still kept his word. Yesterday, he made a promise in front of so many generals in the commander's tent. I believe he would not break his promise. General Qu would let go and kill the enemy."

Qu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gu has already passed the reward order of Mr. Gu to the Hexi Army. The soldiers were very excited. The morale of the army was ignited instantly, but Mr. Gu was worried that he would not be able to fulfill it afterwards, and that would be troublesome at that time."

Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm willing to be a mediator for Gu Qing. If Gu Qing cannot fulfill his promise, I'm responsible. I believe he is not the kind of person who breaks his promise."

Qu Huan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "In this way, I know what I know. Thank you Xianyu Jieshuai."

After two days of galloping, Chang Zhong and Liu Hongbo's troops, Xian Yu Zhongtong and Qu Huan troops had arrived at the bank of Yingshui. According to Gu Qing's deployment, the two armies were ambushed thirty miles away from the north and south sides of the Yingshui River.

Outside the pass, the emperor was in charge.

After fleeing from Chang'an City in panic, less than three days later, Chang'an City was occupied by rebels. When Li Longji learned about it, his first thought was not grief, but gratitude.

Fortunately, he ran early and fast, otherwise he would have been a prisoner of the rebels at this time today. I don’t know how An Lushan would be insulted. It must be a life worse than death. It is a great shame to the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty and the ancestors of the Li family.

Li Longji was extremely glad that he escaped.

As for the fact that the capital was trapped and the emperor fled in a panic, even if he felt shame, he would not care much at this time. He had to live and have the capital to avenge his shame.

Most of the Chang'an defenders were sent out when they were guarding Tongguan. When Li Longji fled, there were only more than 20,000 troops with him, most of them were Yulin Guards. Later, when he was traveling southwest, passing through various prefectures and counties, he also gathered some garrisons and scattered soldiers from all over the country. Before leaving Guanzhong, the sages had already had more than 30,000 troops. Li Longji finally felt a little safe.

Continue to head southwest, Li Longji's patrol team walked very slowly.
