    ? Chapter 6: The Tang Dynasty (Part 6)

    "Promise!" The close friend took the letter and without asking any more questions, he immediately turned around and went to deliver the letter in the city.  Li Guangbi and other generals saw it nearby, but sighed secretly in their hearts.  "The deputy general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, that is, Duke Guo can do it."  If it had been anyone else, even if he hadn't been forced to death by the eunuchs, he would have been pissed to death by his subordinates!  ¡¯

    Sighing, sighing, now that Guo Ziyi has decided to accept the imperial order and let the rebels evacuate Chang'an, it is a foregone conclusion.  After the generals returned to their respective military camps, they immediately relaxed their demands on their brothers.  These changes outside the city were quickly transmitted into the city through the eyes of those who were interested, just like a huge stone dropped in the stagnant water, causing an uproar in the originally peaceful water surface.

    "It seems that what the messenger said is true. Guo Ziyi really didn't want to drive everyone away!" Some people put their hands on their foreheads and secretly rejoiced, thanking God for being kind and giving them a chance to return to their hometown alive.

    Some people were dismissive of the performance of their companions, curled their lips, and let out a series of sneers: "I didn't want to kill them all? Why did he occupy Tongguan and hold on to them if I didn't want to kill them all?! We can't pass Tongguan's natural dangers and these lofty mountains. Within ten days, we still have to wait.  Where can you escape?! By then, the food will be gone and people will have no strength to walk. Guo Ziyi catches up from behind and just cuts each one"

    "Then why did he pretend to be benevolent and let us go? Wouldn't it be easier to just stay trapped in the city and kill him?!" The joy on the previous person's face immediately turned into despair, his bloodshot eyes widened, and he protested loudly.

    "It's not to let us go, it's to protect Chang'an City. There is the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty here, there is Qujiang Pool, there is Xiyuan, and there are the east and west cities. If we are forced hard, set a fire, and Li Heng will come back.  , where else can we live?!" The sneer continued to sneer, refusing to leave any room for his companions to dream.

    "You, you are talking nonsense! Guo, Mr. Guo is not that kind of despicable person. Besides, if he deliberately deceived us, he should have promised better conditions, and he would not have so many restrictions like now!" The despairing person's face  He is getting paler, but like a drowning person, he refuses to let go of the last straw in his hand.

    "You and I don't have to say whether he is despicable or not. Anyway, after this letter was sent in, our military morale was completely messed up!" The sneer shook his head and sighed, his face full of compassion.  I lamented the short-sightedness of my companions and the unfair fate. In just one year, the Yan Kingdom was pushed from the peak of Mount Tai into the abyss.

    Before the morale of the army was in chaos, although Chang'an City was in danger, it might not be without the strength to fight.  But now, the brothers who want to evacuate are clamoring to evacuate, those who want to surrender are planning to surrender, and those who want to remain anonymous are busy transferring the gold and silver they have looted over the past year.  No one wanted to go to war with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the bold plan to attack the Anxi army just decided a few days in advance.

    Even the proposer that day, the old eunuch Bian Lingcheng, was at a loss for words at this moment.  The strategy of dedicating Chang'an City to the Tang army in exchange for everyone's safe evacuation was actually promoted by him.  And throughout the entire process of contacting the Tang Dynasty court, he exerted great effort.  And those friends he had met in the past, such as Yu Chaoen, Li Fuguo, etc., had indeed assured him through secret channels that as long as he could help the rebels leave Chang'an, the emperor would not only forget about the past, but would also make peace with him in the inner palace.  , leaving him a suitable position.  Who would have expected that this plan, which was originally extremely beneficial to him, would completely change during its execution, just like another plan to sneak attack on the Anxi military camp.  It became no longer under his control, and it was very different from his original expectations.

    "How could this happen?!" Bian Lingcheng was naturally not willing to sit still and wait for death. When he realized that something was wrong, he immediately changed his clothes and hurried to the Jiedushi camp.  Unexpectedly, the gate that used to be unobstructed was now closed.  The tooth soldiers, who usually smiled at him and opened their mouths and closed their mouths, all raised their eyes and refused to report his wishes to the inner channel on his behalf.

    "Don't think that you will get something good if you get rid of us!" Bian Lingcheng was angry and anxious, jumping towards the gate of Jiedushi's palace, "Those days when our family was walking in the palace, you still don't know  In which ravine are the horses grazing? If you want to kill the donkey before unloading the mill, you will be punished sooner or later!"

    The Jiedushi tooth soldiers were too lazy to reply, and lowered their eyelids, looking at him as if they were dead.  Bian Lingcheng's scalp tightened and his spine felt chilly at the sight. He took a few steps back, hesitated for a moment, and bowed to beg for permission: "Brothers, out of the fact that Bian has always treated you with respect, I would like to ask you for help."  Let Bian pass the message. Just tell Li Jiedu, don't fall for the enemy's plan to divide and disintegrate. As long as he can endure, our family will definitely find a better way out for him!"

    "Mr. Bian, you'd better come back tomorrow! My lords are busy discussing military affairs. All non-leading generals willnot see.  "The commander of the tooth soldiers on duty glanced at him with pity, and said patiently, "Besides, no matter whether you leave or stay, we will not start executing it today.  Why do you blame the little ones?  "

    "It will be too late by the time a decision is made!" Bian Lingcheng shouted anxiously. Then, realizing his identity, he softly asked for help.  But no matter how hard he tried, the tooth soldiers just refused to help.  Just as he was burning with anxiety, he suddenly heard a knock from the door in front of him. An extremely short dwarf, holding a Zhupiling arrow, squeezed out from behind the tooth soldier, surrounded by four personal guards.

    "Lord Jia!"

    "Brother Jia!"

    The tooth soldiers¡¯ attitude towards the dwarf was completely different from that towards Bian Lingcheng.  They all moved out of the way and waved their hands to say hello.  The dwarf Jia Chang didn't show any pretense as a senior official and returned the favor with a smile.  While walking, I would chat with this person and some interesting stories with that person, and get close to everyone.

    "Master Jia, Master Jia, stay!" Finally seeing a familiar face, Bian Lingcheng stumbled forward.  He grabbed Jia Chang's shoulders and shouted loudly, "Master Jia, save me, Master Jia, save everyone!"

    "Ah¡ª¡ª" Jia Chang's short body could not withstand Bian Lingcheng's "sneak attack". He screamed and fell to the ground on his back.  The guards around him were so anxious that they grabbed Bian Lingcheng, opened their fists and beat him.  Bian Lingcheng originally brought a dozen personal guards with him, but now they were all very far away.  Seeing his master being beaten, he wanted to rush forward to protect him, but he was blocked by the Jiedushi Ya soldiers who were deliberately watching the fun. He couldn't rush into the crowd no matter what.

    "Ah, ah, don't fight, don't fight, it's me, it's Bian! Bian had no intention of murdering Mr. Jia, you have misunderstood, you have misunderstood!" Bian Lingcheng rolled over and begged for mercy.

    After receiving more than a dozen punches, even gold stars appeared in front of his eyes, and then he heard Jia Chang let out a long breath and said loudly: "Oh, who is so wicked? You can kill me! Isn't this Master Bian?"  ?Stop it, stop it quickly, why are you beating Mr. Bian?! Why don¡¯t you help Mr. Bian get up!"

    The four guards agreed, leaving Bian Lingcheng, who was bruised and swollen, and turned to help Jia Chang.  Amidst the winking and mocking laughter of the tooth soldiers, the old eunuch Bian Lingcheng groaned and climbed up from the ground, walked to Jia Chang, bowed and apologized: "It's not their fault, it's not their fault, it's Bian who was reckless."

    "You still haven't apologized to Master Bian!" Jia Chang reached out to support Bian Lingcheng and ordered to his guards.  The four guards lazily bowed their hands to Bian Lingcheng, said "misunderstanding", and then stood behind Jia Chang with their arms folded.  Bian Lingcheng was so angry that he had no one to ask for at this moment, so he could only respond with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Bian understands their eagerness to protect the Lord! It was Bian who was reckless just now, and he shouldn't have pulled Master Jia so hard!"

    "Same for you, old Bian!" Jia Chang behaved when he got an advantage, "You can't say anything slowly, otherwise you will rush over and knock me over. My two-and-a-half-foot-long body cannot withstand such torture from you.  Forget it, since it¡¯s a misunderstanding, let¡¯s not worry about it. Let¡¯s go and have a few drinks at my place. I just asked the kids to get a dog to put in the pot and roll it up and down three times, which will make the gods drool!¡±

    "I, I really have something urgent to come to see you for!" At this point, Bian Lingcheng had no intention of going with Jia Chang to eat dog meat that was not worth a meal.  He stamped his feet and emphasized loudly, "This is a major matter that affects your life and mine. They won't let me in. You are close to Zhang Liushou. Please bring a message for me to the people inside, just say"

    "Is it related to your life and mine?!" Jia Chang used his command arrow to pick out his ears, his face full of suspicion.  "How can it be related to your life and mine?! I haven't offended anyone! Besides, I'm just a dwarf juggling. I'm not just playing anywhere!"

    "But, but Guo Ziyi has no intention of letting us leave alive!" Bian Lingcheng was afraid that he would not be able to convince Jia Chang, so he continued to say harsh words, "If he really wanted to let us go, he shouldn't have limited his time to ten days. He  If you really want to let us go, you shouldn't say that you don't care about Wang Mingyun's personal grudges. Do you think that the one who has enmity with Wang Mingyun is just one of them? He and the brothers under him don't live in Chang'an City.  It's right on the edge of the Wei River. You don't know what kind of damage Gyeonggi Province has been to us. Is he willing to let go of this hatred of destroying his family and his country easily?"

    "Isn't that true?!" Jia Chang blinked his big round eyes, his face full of confusion.  "Old Bian, please don't scare me. I'm small and timid. I've met Wang Mingyun, he's a very generous person. I even helped him with Yu Wenzhi's matter back then!"

    It's okay not to mention Yu Wenzhi's name, but when he mentioned it, Bian Lingcheng became even more furious, "When did that happen? Who will remember it? If we talk about the benefits to Yu Wenzhi, who can compare with him?"  Emperor Xiongwu of the Yan Kingdom. But just a few days after Emperor Xiongwu left for the west, someone named Yuwen encouraged Tian Chengsi to rebel!"
