Huang Qi laughed, pulled out the general's sword and said to the soldiers: "Everyone, the dynasty is about to change. You must do your best, do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Okay, here's the general's order to send troops to Chang'an immediately to capture Tang Emperor Li Longji!"

"Yes!"

The three armies roared in unison, like a long black dragon rolling towards Chang'an. After pacifying the Anxi Army, this was the only place they did not capture.

As long as this city is captured, the dynasty will be changed immediately!

Just when 400,000 Youzhou troops divided into three groups and surrounded Chang'an, the Tang army who received the news immediately closed the city gates tightly and rushed towards the Xuanzheng Palace.

"I am not talented, but I am willing to lead a large army to live and die with Chang'an!"

Dongyang Inn, second floor.

Seeing that Gao Lishi had left, Li Longji thought for a while and came to Guanfeng Hall to carry the spiritual tablet of Emperor Zetian in his arms to prevent him from being killed by Fan Xin when Chang'an fell and was captured.

Beside him was a man with a goatee, watching with a smile.

"It's just that I feel a little unhappy when I think that the soldiers we have trained so hard will temporarily belong to An Lushan."

"It's not necessary for the time being. If the king's prediction is good, An Lushan will be full-fledged by this time and will attack Tongguan soon. Let him be proud for a while first."

Seeing that the ministers' expressions were solemn and did not look like they were telling lies, Li Longji's face was gloomy and he clenched his hands tightly.

The ministers looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Currently, there are less than 30,000 garrison troops in Chang'an City, and the total number including the Tongguan garrison is only 180,000. With these people, they may not be able to suppress Anlu Mountain.

It's okay now, I'm killing myself.

"Also, there are 80,000 divine machine battalions, infantry battalions, etc., a total of 400,000 troops have arrived!"

Fan Xin was indeed the strongest in terms of military strength alone, but he knew that although Li Longji was mediocre at this time, many people were still loyal to Li Tang.

"After we have driven away Li Longji, we will suppress An Lushan and Shi Siming in the name of quelling the rebellion. This way our resistance will be much smaller."

Ge Shuhan looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why else? There are 200,000 troops sitting in Anlu Mountain. They are no longer Wu Xia Amen. I am afraid that I will not be able to come back after leaving Tongguan."

After leaving the Xuanzheng Hall, Li Longji held Yang Yuhuan's hand: "My dear concubine, go back and clean up quickly. Take away everything you can!"

He never dreamed that An Lushan, who was so loyal in the past, would betray him. Is this the same loyal minister who took off his shirt and danced for himself?

Li Longji sighed and waved his hands to the ministers: "Get up, all of you. An Lushan is just a barbarian. There is no need to be so nervous. Which of you is willing to lead troops to quell the rebellion?"

"this……."

"My dear friends, there is no need to persuade me. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I leave my own subjects and escape without permission? Needless to say, someone is here to draw up the decree."

Especially Yang Guozhong, his heart was filled with regret. If he had known that 400,000 damn Youzhou troops were coming, he would never have said these words.

Li Longji…..

Ministers…..

After a long time, all the ministers came to their senses and said in unison: "Your Majesty, what Yang Xiang said makes sense. The green hills left behind are still there, so there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. Now the old thief Fan Xin has led a large army to the city, and it is obvious that he intends to destroy the Tang Dynasty."

The most important thing is that the only way to go to Tongguan is to rely on the dangers of the pass. Depending on the emperor's temperament, if time goes by, he will definitely be ordered to leave the pass and fight with Anlu Mountain. By then, even if he is a god descending to earth, he will be dead. One piece.

Regarding the matter of rebellion and usurping the throne, he had persuaded him many times before, but An Lushan always said that the time was not right, so he probably meant that he would take action.

In this way, the resistance that hinders him from dominating the world will disappear.

Hearing these impassioned and apathetic words, both Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty all nodded secretly.

Yang Guozhong shook his head: "No, I heard that the injury is gradually improving."

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you are with Chang'an?" Yang Yushuan blinked his eyes and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

As soon as they heard that 400,000 heavy troops with advanced weapons had arrived, all the civil and military officials in the court turned pale with fright. There were only 300,000 new soldiers in the city, and they were barely defending the city. How could they defeat Fan Xin's Youzhou Army.

"This place is extremely dangerous. Should we evacuate Chang'an first and then return here when the world is at peace?"

Call!

"Cavalry An Jiedu Envoy, Your Majesty has an order to appoint you as Chang'an Defense Envoy, and immediately lead the army to Chang'an to resist Fan Xin's rebels!"

"Come here, pass this general's order and immediately lead the army north to conquer Youzhou. The others will follow me into Chang'an to capture the foolish king Li Longji!"

Seeing that Yang Xiang had spoken, the ministers below all expressed their support and begged the emperor to send Ge Shuhan to take charge of Tongguan.

When the news that An Lushan led 200,000 Tang troops to sweep through the cities and counties around Chang'an reached the palace, Li Longji's first reaction was that it was impossible.

The reason why he recommended Ge Shuhan was not because he wanted to recommend talents to the country, but because the An Lushan rebellion was in the name of Qingjun.

An Lushan nodded with emotion: "Yes, all the 300,000 troops in Chang'an City are under our control. Li Longji only has less than 20,000 troops around him. It is easy to replace them."

When the imperial edict was delivered to Geshuhan, the latter got up from the bed with a sad look on his face, and with the help of his servants, he accepted the edict and thanked him.

"Immediately appoint An Lushan as the defense envoy of Chang'an. He will be fully responsible for the defense of Chang'an without any mistakes!" After saying that, he left the Xuanzheng Hall with a wave of his sleeves.

Early the next morning, several eunuchs walked into the mansion and smiled at Ge Shu Hanpi and said, "Brother, General, please come!"

Hearing this, An Lushan laughed: "Old Shi, don't you think this is an excellent opportunity given to us by God?"

Li Longji smiled bitterly: "As long as I can hold on, I will naturally live and die with Chang'an. I can't hold on to this anymore. Isn't it better to stay and wait for death? Let's not talk about the rest until we go to Bashu."

At this time, a group of cavalry came on horseback and jerked their reins when they came close.

"As the emperor, you must not take risks easily."

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Yang Guozhong immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think the court does not need to panic. Although the 50,000 cavalry are like a flood and are invincible, they are on a plain."

"Lord Jiedushi, my subordinates heard that Yang Guozhong prepared so many orchids to offer to Li Longji that our emperor couldn't even go to court."

"Report!"

"what!"

Ge Shuhan nodded silently, got up and walked outside. Hundreds of golden-armored guards were waiting on the street. Seeing him coming out, they slapped their whips on the ground.

"Young Master, I saw that troops and horses are being mobilized everywhere in Chang'an City. I am afraid that the Youzhou army will invade soon."

"Your Majesty, the escort team has been formed. Only the royal guests and concubines are left. The gold, silver and jewelry have not yet been loaded. It will take a month at the earliest." Yang Guozhong bowed and replied.

"Your Majesty, what General Chen said is true. Anlushan has indeed rebelled and has conquered several towns in the Tang Dynasty." Yang Guozhong said with a solemn expression.
