After listening to Wang Can's briefing on the latest news from Chang'an, all the generals and officials in the big tent had not had time to react.
Zhao Ziliang was so shocked that he almost fell from his seat and shouted: "Chang'an is in danger!"
After hearing this, everyone thought, isn't it?
It is almost impossible to defend from Tongguan to Chang'an.
Although there are several counties in between, these are small towns and cannot stop the rebel army from attacking.
It would take as long as half a month or as little as seven or eight days to reach Chang'an.
The Emperor He must not allow himself to be besieged by the rebels in Chang'an City, for fear of abandoning the city and fleeing westward.
If the emperor escapes, the officials who remain in Chang'an City will still have the heart to occupy the city to resist the rebel attack.
I'm afraid there will be many The civil and military ministers took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.
Most of the elite rebels under Anlu were barbarians.
When these barbarians entered Chang'an City, one could imagine what kind of catastrophe the flower-filled Chang'an City would experience.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Pugu Huai'en couldn't help but curse: "Ge Shuhan is really stupid.
He clearly knows that his men are just guards who have not experienced war for a long time and are incompetent and some temporarily recruited market scoundrels.
In such an unfavorable situation, he Defend the city gate without death , even if he sent troops out to meet the enemy, the enemy deliberately showed weakness and retreated.
Couldn't he, a battle-hardened general, not see it?
He allowed the army to fall into the rebels' trick and enter an ambush.
This was not true.
Why do you deserve to die if you seek death?"
All the generals and officials looked at each other in shock after hearing Pugu Huaien's words, but Zhao Ziliang knew very well that the situation today was not entirely caused by his brother Shuhan's fault, but all the responsibility should be attributed to his brother.
Shu Han's head was on Shu Han's head, because he was the coach, and he had to bear the main responsibility for the defeat.
Zhao Ziliang angrily scolded Pugu Huaien: "What are you scolding?
If you were in Ge Shuhan's position, you would be even worse than him.
Ge Shuhan was defeated in this battle for three reasons: First, he made a strategic mistake.
He made a mistake and should not take the initiative to go out to meet the enemy, but this was not what he wanted.
The emperor ordered him to go out to meet the enemy.
If he didn't obey, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing would learn from their mistakes.
The second result was a tactical mistake.
He was sick and could not fight on the front line in person.
He did not understand the reasons for the rebels' retreat in time and failed to stop the army from blindly pursuing the rebels.
Let me ask you, if you were 200,000 people.
Commander of the army, will you fight at the forefront?
Third, after the rebels were defeated, his generals Wang Sili, Li Chengguang, Pang Zhong and others were greedy for credit and advanced rashly, which led to the army falling into the trap."
At this point, Zhao Ziliang pointed at Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode, Li Sheng and others and said: "I dare say that any one of you sitting in Ge Shuhan's position may not necessarily do better than him."
Although the generals were unwilling to admit it on their faces, they knew in their hearts that what Zhao Ziliang said was true.
Under the circumstances, even if they, as leading generals, saw the enemy troops fleeing, they would not be able to help but lead their troops to pursue them, greedy for credit.
Killed people, and more than one or two Zheng San stroked his forehead and sighed: "The army of 200,000 was completely defeated in two days.
Now Guanzhong is empty and the situation is extremely dangerous."
Zhao Ziliang picked up the water bowl and took a sip of water, and said with a serious expression: "The soldiers have been very tired from the rapid march in recent days.
Originally, I planned to let the soldiers rest here for a few more days to build up combat strength, but now the situation is critical and we can no longer If the delay continues, once the city of Chang'an is breached or the Holy Emperor is captured by the rebels, the consequences will be disastrous.
Send an order and tell the soldiers to eat and drink well and have a good night's rest.
Break camp early tomorrow morning and continue marching eastward."
The generals stood up, clasped their fists, and agreed: "Promise" In the early morning of June 14th, Zhao Ziliang commanded an army of 40,000 people and arrived in Qizhou in a dusty journey.
Without any intention of stopping to rest, the army bypassed Qizhou City and continued eastward under the rising sun.
At noon, Zhao Ziliang, who was riding on horseback, let the ulama trot forward while he gnawed dry food and poured some water into his mouth that was about to smoke with a water bag.

At this time, Wang Can galloped from the front of the army, shouting: "Commander, hurry up, hurry up!"
Zhao Ziliang immediately rode his horse to the roadside, and the Chinese army leader also came to the roadside to make way for the army behind him.
"What happened?"
Zhao Ziliang stopped and asked.
"Lü" Wang Can stopped his horse, panted heavily and endured thirst, and reported: "Commander Jie, yesterday evening, the emperor abandoned Chang'an City, took the prince, Yang Guozhong and other prime ministers and 3,000 soldiers of the imperial army to march three times overnight.
Came hundreds of miles to the west and arrived at Maweiyi at dawn this morning.
I am traveling to the emperor's place and am currently at Maweiyi."
"Mawei Station" Zhao Ziliang's face changed drastically when he heard this.
In another time and space, the Mawei Incident was so famous that Yang Yuhuan was buried there.
Although Yang Yuhuan and he had no relationship between men and women, in such an era, he was such a It is not easy for a man to have a sincere friendship with a woman like Yang Yuhuan.
Could it be that a woman could have caused the Tang Dynasty to become what it is today?
Yang Yuhuan was extremely beautiful, but she definitely did not have the energy to turn the Tang Dynasty into what it is now.
The ministers and generals around the emperor wanted to help the emperor.
It's really unfair to cover up one's own shame and deliberately shift the responsibility to a woman like Yang Yuhuan.
In addition, since the emperor had to leave Chang'an and come west, it means that the rebels are probably not far from Chang'an.
They are only a day or two away at most.
Now they must lead the army to the emperor as soon as possible to escort him.
You must know that the prince and the Many princes and grandsons are following the emperor.
If the emperor's chariot is captured by the rebels, won't all the royal family of the Tang Dynasty fall into the hands of the rebels, and the world will be without a master, and there will be chaos.
This is something Zhao Ziliang is absolutely unwilling to see.
Arrived.
After calmly thinking and weighing, Zhao Ziliang immediately sent someone to call Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode, Pugu Huai'en, Li Sheng and others and said: "The emperor has left Chang'an.
Now that the imperial driver has arrived at Maweiyi, the rebels are probably not far from Chang'an." , our army is huge in number, and it will only take two days for all of them to arrive.
Unfortunately, we have no time.
I'm going to lead three thousand elite cavalry and my own bodyguards to Xingzai first.
You can follow quickly with the army.
After I leave, the army will be dominated by Chu Ge.
Zheng San and Cen Shen will assist Zhao Ting.
I'll give it to you.
If you have an opportunity, you will be my lieutenant and quickly mobilize three thousand light cavalry.
Each person will ride three horses in rotation.
The horses will rest and the people will not rest.
Follow me to Maweiyi as soon as possible."
The generals looked serious and clasped their fists in unison and agreed: "Promise" The new command system allowed Zhao Ziliang's army to move very quickly.
After the order to mobilize three thousand light cavalry was issued, in less than a cup of tea, the three thousand fine cavalry each carried three war horses and Zhao Ziliang's own 300 elite bodyguard cavalry.
All had been assembled, and as Zhao Ziliang took the lead and galloped forward, the three thousand elite cavalry also quickly followed, disappearing like a long black dragon in the rising smoke.
During the march, Zhao Ziliang's three thousand elite cavalry changed their horses several times.
At dusk, the sergeants were so hungry that Zhao Ziliang had to order them to sit down, rest, eat and drink.
This place was still more than forty miles away from Maweiyi.
Zhao Ziliang decided to rest for half an hour after eating and then rush on his way.
After remounting their horses and setting off, after an hour of fast marching, Zhao Ziliang's vanguard of three thousand elite cavalry had arrived near Maweiyi.
At this time, a large number of shouts of killing came from the front.
In the dark night, the sky above Maweiyi was filled with flames and the sound of weapons continued to be heard. .
Zhao Ziliang's face changed.
Although he was extremely anxious and worried about the safety of the emperor's chariot, he knew that he must not be anxious about this matter.

He should not act rashly before he had figured out the specific situation of Maweiyi.
He immediately reined in his horse and stopped, behind him Three thousand Qingqi also stopped quickly.
Zhao Ziliang calmly looked at Maweiyi, which was shrouded in firelight in the dark night three miles away, and shouted: "Zhao Ting" Zhao Tingce immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "The child is here."
"Bring some people to check out the situation.
I want to know what happened to Maweiyi.
Go back as soon as possible."
"Nuo" Zhao Ting agreed, and with a dozen of Zhao Ziliang's personal guards, he quickly ran towards Maweiyi and quickly disappeared into the night.
Maweiyi.
Yesterday evening, they fled three hundred miles from Chang'an overnight and arrived at Maweiyi.
The three thousand Forbidden Army soldiers were exhausted, tired and hungry.
Maweiyi is not a big city, it is just a post station.
There is not much food stored here, only Some of the food was given to the emperor, concubines, relatives of the emperor and ministers.
The soldiers had stayed here for a day without eating or drinking.
Under the combination of exhaustion, hunger and thirst, the soldiers felt more and more anxious. anger.
It happened that more than 20 accompanying Tibetan envoys went to Prime Minister Yang Guozhong for food because of hunger.
When the soldiers of the Forbidden Army saw the Tibetan envoys coming into contact with Yang Guozhong, someone in the army immediately shouted: "Prime Minister Yang Guozhong colluded with the Hu people to rebel, and killed him." he" Immediately, some people echoed loudly and drew their weapons to surround Yang Guozhong, "Kill him, kill him."
Yang Guozhong looked shocked and shouted: "You are so presumptuous, they are Tibetan envoys!"
Before he finished speaking, one of the surrounding soldiers took out a bow and shot an arrow at Yang Guozhong.
The arrow hit Yang Guozhong's ribs, and Yang Guozhong screamed and fell off his horse.
Seeing the soldiers surrounding them, Yang Guozhong's guards immediately pulled out their weapons to stop them.
Yang Guozhong was quickly helped up by two guards.
He covered the area where the arrow was hit with a look of defeat.
He looked around and saw that there were few soldiers in the direction of the west gate.
He was expected to rush to the west gate.
After escaping, he immediately shouted: "Hurry and protect the truth and go to Ximen, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The guards protected Yang Guozhong and broke out towards the west gate.
A general outside the besieging soldiers saw and waved towards the west gate.
Someone on the roof not far away saw it and immediately raised a white cloth and waved it.
When Yang Guozhong led the He followed the guards and fled to the west gate, only to find that countless soldiers poured out from both sides to block the west gate and surrounded Yang Guozhong and others
