After three battles, An Lushan finally stopped looking down on Gu Qing, and he found that Gu Qing had become his strong enemy.

The rebels started from Fanyang, and the army swept across the north and south, destroying all the way. The imperial army was weaker than he thought. Among them, there were those who fought to the death, but the world had been peaceful for a long time. The imperial army, which was used to eating the food of peace, could no longer compete with the rebels who had fought to guard the border for hundreds of battles. No matter how many civil officials and military generals resisted to the death, they were still crushed.

This rebellion has been fought smoothly. From Fanyang to Tongguan, there was almost no decent resistance. When the rebels were only a short distance from Chang'an, Gu Qing led the Anxi Army into the pass.

Three major battles, two of which were ambushed, and one of them was a sneak attack on Luoyang with an inside and outside, but Gu Qing succeeded.

An Lushan finally realized that this former enemy son already had the command ability that he had to pay attention to, and the Anxi army soldiers under Gu Qing were also the only strong enemy he had seen in his life.

After Shi Siming fled back to the rebel camp, he described to him in detail the Modao Camp that was holding Hangu Pass at that time.

Three thousand people versus fifty thousand, Mo Dao waved for two full hours, as if it was an indefatigable war machine. One person died in battle, and the other person immediately made up for the seat. He had no time to cry sadly, or even had no time to carry the body.

Less than fifty feet outside Hangu Pass, 50,000 rebels were stopped outside the Modao square formation and could not move forward.

Just listening to Shi Siming's statement, An Lushan was shocked by the scene he described.

What kind of army is this? How do they have the iron will to sacrifice their lives? How did this young man in his twenties train such a tiger and wolf army?

"Tell the soldiers that the food route has been cut off, and the army can only support the food and grass. If they cannot capture Tongguan and go directly to Chang'an within ten days, all the soldiers, including their small family, will be executed by the court as a rebellion!" An Lushan ordered gloomyly.

If you put it to death, An Lushan is not a simple and mediocre person.

Starting the next day, the rebels' offensive against Tongguan suddenly became much more intense. Countless rebels were fearless and climbed up the city wall. They were killed by the soldiers guarding the pass. Another group of rebels who were fearlessly afraid of death came up. After repeated rebels, the battle situation fell into a fierce and intense state from the early morning.

Geshuhan was sitting in a wooden wheelchair with his head tilted and his hand was spasming and twitching unconsciously. The deputy general behind him pushed the wheelchair, judging his orders from Geshuhan's eyes and facial expressions from time to time, and then decisively conveyed the orders.

It is really sad that famous generals of the world can only command the guards in such a way at a critical moment.

A huge stone was thrown onto the city wall by a catapult and smashed hard to a few feet away from Geshuhan. The deputy general was startled and subconsciously pushed the wheelchair to hide in the arrow tower, but Geshuhan raised his other hand to stop him.

"The head coach... cannot retreat." Geshuhan sniffed a few words.

The deputy general felt sad and his eyes turned red, but he tried hard to calm down.

"Jings Commander, the memorials for help have been sent to Chang'an five times in a row, but the emperor still has no order. According to the soldiers who sent the memorials, there were rumors in Chang'an City, saying that the emperor wanted to leave Beijing for a tour..." The deputy general attached himself to Geshuhan's ear and whispered.

Ge Shuhan's eyes showed anger and then he quickly calmed down.

"Survey" is a good word, but during wartime, especially when the capital is in danger, "Survey" means running away.

"The emperor... the body of a thousand chariots should be avoided. The minister... still must be loyal." Geshuhan said hard.

The deputy general lowered his head and said, "Yes, the last general is willing to live and die with Tongguan."

The battle situation became more and more intense on the Tongguan city wall. Ge Shuhan frowned and raised his hand to point at a pile of arrows that had been smashed by stones.

The deputy general Li knew his intentions and turned his head to shout at the guards, "That pile of arrows has collapsed, and more soldiers have been sent to block the gap and prevent the rebels from climbing up."

The personal guard hurriedly took the order and left.

"Jings Commander, the rebels are particularly fierce today. It took only more than an hour to deal with the soldiers and the casualties are already quite serious..." The deputy general said worriedly.

Geshuhan's mouth was uncontrollably drooling, and the deputy general hurriedly helped him clean it.

"Gu Qing... recovered Luoyang, the rebels... the food route has been cut off, Tongguan... will be taken." Geshuhan said vaguely.

The words were a little vague, but the deputy general followed Geshuhan for many years and immediately understood what Geshuhan meant.

"If you put it to death, you will live?"

"……right."

The deputy general sighed, looked at the soldiers fighting fiercely on the city wall, and said, "In this way, Tongguan is becoming more and more critical. Jieshou, we may not be able to defend Tongguan..."

Geshuhan turned his head with difficulty, pointed his trembling hand to the east, and said, "Send someone... Anxi Army to ask for help."

The deputy general focused on the key point: "Yes, the general will send a fast horse to Luoyang and ask the Anxi army to rush to Tongguan quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black jars were thrown toward the city wall by a catapult. The jars fell to the ground and shattered, and the oily logistics inside flowed all over the ground.

A guard guard staggered over and said anxiously: "Jie Shuai quickly avoid it, the rebels are about to attack with fire!"

Geshuhan struggled to hold up half of his body from the wheelchair. The former majestic general is now dragging his heavy sick body, and his eyes still have the domineering aura of a tiger roaring in the mountains.

"Don't retreat! I will share life and death with my soldiers!"

…………

The Anxi Army set out on the camp and the army set out in a mighty way. The vanguard Shen Tian had led 5,000 cavalry to travel dozens of miles.

In the central army, flags were floating, and a black gold-edged flag was particularly prominent, with the embroidered "Issue Gu, the governor of Anxi, the Prince of Qingcheng County, the Prince of Prince Shaobao, Guanglu, the Minister of Anxi".

The personal guards held up the commander's flag and rode on the horse in full spirit. The commander's flag was fluttering in the wind. Wherever they passed, pedestrians and businessmen respectfully avoided them.

But Gu Qing's expression was not as fluttering as his personal guard, but he was a little anxious.

"Han Jie, send someone to the vanguard to send an order to ask Shen Tian to speed up the marching. Tongguan is probably very critical."

Han Jie raised his chin to a guard next to him, and the guard rode his horse and galloped away.

Then Han Jie looked back and said, "Mr. Marquis... Uh, no, Mr., we have recruited 4,000 new recruits in Luoyang City. Seeing that those people are loose and can't even ride horses, if these people are incorporated into the Anxi Army, they may affect their combat effectiveness."

Gu Qing said lightly: "So I asked Liu Hongbo Duan Wuji to stay in the rear army and walk slowly, and practice while walking. These people can't use them for the time being. It's only a year or two that I have seen a soldier."

Han Jie sighed: "It's a pity that these newly recruited soldiers cannot enter Modao Camp, and there is no one suitable."

"The selection of Modao Camp is very strict. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad. Look for it slowly on the road. Let people pay attention to the villages and towns you pass by. If you encounter someone with a suitable figure, you might as well persuade him to recruit soldiers. It is easier to say about the military salary, which is much better than escaping in a panic in troubled times."

Looking at the vast army in front of him, Gu Qing suddenly sighed: "Since the Anxi Army entered the pass, although the losses were not large, compared with the main rebels, if the Anxi Army fights head-on, we must expand our army."

"Expand army? Recruiting united troops?"

"We can only recruit united soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Chang'an. We still have a Bian Lingcheng here to wait for the handle. We should not recruit new soldiers too high-profile."

Han Jie gritted his teeth and said, "It will be a disaster for Bian Lingcheng to keep this thing that is neither male nor female. Master, should you find a reason to deal with him?"

"What are you going to do with him?"

Han Jie smiled sinisterly: "There are soldiers with good male style in the camp, lock them up in the same camp tent, and instruct them to die in Bian Lingcheng. Then we report to Chang'an, saying that Bian Lingcheng is injustice and has messed up with men and men in the camp, and finally we are so happy..."

Gu Qing was shocked, looked up and down at Han Jie, and couldn't help but say, "Why are you getting more and more evil? Where did you learn this idea?"

Han Jie said innocently: "Many romantic museums in Chang'an City have men's sex entertainment. Some powerful people who are good at this often gather to drink and get in trouble. Occasionally, I heard that some men's sex is not known how to be killed by the powerful people. The next day, I was quietly carried out of the city and buried..."

Gu Qing hesitated and said, "Han Jie, you... don't have this problem?"

Han Jie shook his head: "It's hard to be aware of both wives and concubines in the family, and he is really powerless to be with the male style..."

"Is the intention... powerless?" Gu Qing turned his horse's head and quietly moved away from Han Jie.

The quiet movements were quite hurtful. Han Jie hurriedly defended: "Mr. Master, I don't know this at all. It's better for women. I have a delicate body and gentle body. I can turn off the light and find the location I should find..."

Gu Qing smiled and said without a smile: "Everyone is riding a horse, why are you driving alone?"

“???”

"Be kind to Bian Lingcheng. If he doesn't offend me, I will tolerate him. What you said will lock him up with the soldiers with good men. Don't mention it in the future. This is to give him benefits and beautify him."

"……yes."

From Luoyang to Tongguan, you must pass Hangu Pass.

Although the Anxi Army was all cavalry, most of them were mountains along the way, and it was difficult to ride horses, and it was even more impossible to let go of horses and run wildly. Despite Gu Qing urging again and again, the marching speed of the vanguard Shen Tian still could not get faster.

Three days later, as soon as the army arrived at Hangu Pass, Gu Qing ordered camps within the Pass.

That night, the generals gathered in the tent, and except for Shen Tian, ​​all other generals arrived.

Gu Qing sat in the handsome tent, staring at a sheepskin map hanging in the tent, staring blankly.

Seeing that all the generals arrived, Gu Qing said, "We are marching towards Tongguan urgently. It is best if we can arrive before the rebels break through Tongguan. Anxi Army will resist the rebels with the Tongguan defenders. Geshuhan is ill, and I will take over the military power of Tongguan. With the joining of Anxi Army, Tongguan can hold on to Tongguan for at least two months, and perhaps not two months. Their food route has been cut off by us. If the rebels cannot open up new food routes, they will be defeated within one month, and this rebellion will be put to an end."

The generals nodded one after another.

Gu Qing sighed again: "But if the rebels had already broken through Tongguan before the Anxi Army arrived, then the situation would be serious. We must immediately come up with a backup charter. If Tongguan is broken, it will be useless to save it. Where will the Anxi Army go next?"
