    It was Alishe's cavalry who came. After receiving the message from the Silver Guards, Alishe immediately led all 25,000 of his cavalry out. However, Alishe arrived late and snatched away Li Siye's body.  Zheng Chunyun turned directly from another road to the direction of Chang'an without stopping at all. This was originally an omission caused by Zheng Chunyun's sudden change. Zheng Chunyun, who was full of anger and sorrow, only thought about sending Li Siye's body to Li Zuoguo, and forgot about it.  The Silver Guard was sent out to notify Alishe to come to the rescue.

    So Alishe only knew that someone was going to be detrimental to Li Siye, and the rest was not clear. Alishe clearly saw that all Li Siye's soldiers died on the spot, and his eyes immediately turned red. Alishe was promoted by Li Siye to the most embarrassing position.  At that time, from the leader of a declining tribe to a high-ranking general in the Tang Dynasty, Alishe could be said to have no appreciation for the imperial court. He only served Li Siye and Li Zuoguo. Now seeing the corpses of Li Siye's soldiers lying on the ground,  Li Siye must have been in a bad situation, and Alishe was so angry that his door exploded.

    Seeing the cavalry approaching with murderous intent, Ge Shuhan and the others had no choice but to ask their soldiers to form a battle formation quickly. The fierce battles had exhausted these Tang troops. Moreover, although they killed all Li Siye's soldiers, their own casualties were already high.  Nearly half of the total force, many of the Tang army are pampered old soldiers. This kind of cruel fighting can be said to have made them collapse. If not only there were many people on their side, but they were also fighting surrounded by the other side. The front was fighting.  It was hard to see clearly what was going on behind the cruel scene, and he might have already started to flee.

    When Chen Xuanli and Han Chengkui struggled to organize their men into a formation, many Tang soldiers' hands were shaking, their teeth were still chattering, and their faces were as white as if they were powdered. It was already a great thing to be able to stand there, Ge Shuhan  Looking at this situation, he could only shake his head. In addition to the performance of his personal soldiers, even Chen Xuanli's imperial army began to panic. As the cavalry approached, the entire formation was moving, as if it was about to collapse.

    As Archer Ali waved, the horn sounded, and the cavalry immediately spread out in the valley. Ge Shuhan saw the cavalry on the opposite side put down their visors one by one, and formed a formation. The cavalry in the front row pointed their cavalry diagonally, and behind them  The cavalry began to cock their crossbows. Knowing that if the cavalry started to attack if they did not come out to stop them, it would be the end of their tired soldiers. Ge Shuhan quickly asked Chen Xuanli to come out to talk.

    Chen Xuanli knew that the situation was urgent, and his brother Shuhan had difficulty walking. Han Chengkui kept his head down, obviously not wanting to stand out, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Chen Xuanli rode out of his military formation and walked to the front. Chen Xuanli held a flag in his hand.  Above it is his own Chen-character flag, which is a short flag, not the largest handsome flag. Chen Xuanli is advancing towards Alishe's cavalry array. His horse is not going very fast. Alishe raises his right hand, and a big flag bursts behind him.  Waving, the horn sounded again, and the entire cavalry formation stopped advancing.

    Alishe watched Chen Xuanli walk in coldly. Chen Xuanli stopped his horse less than thirty steps in front of Alishe, thrust the flag in his hand beside the horse, and shouted: "Are you the defender of Tongguan on the opposite side? I  This is Chen Xuanli, the general of the Imperial Guard of the Tang Dynasty who came to Tongguan to deliver the edict. The edict is behind you, so you must not make mistakes."

    Alishe urged the war horse, and the horse arrived in front of Chen Xuanli. Alishe said angrily: "You are the imperial guards who are delivering the decree. Then tell me, why are the corpses of the guards of our capital all over the ground? Our capital  Where is the guardian? If you don¡¯t hand over the guardian today, I don¡¯t care if you are some bullshit imperial envoy. Damn, I¡¯ll kill you anyway.¡±

    Chen Xuanli has a big head, what should he do?  Li Siye and Feng Changqing committed suicide. If the general on the opposite side found out, he wouldn't immediately turn against them and attack?  How could these thousands of remnants of his own resist? But according to the cavalry commander who just talked to him, it seemed that they had not met the person who took Li Siye's body away. Chen Xuanli rolled his eyes and decided to fool him. Anyway, it would be fine if he didn't fool him.  Fearing for his life, Chen Xuanli got off his horse and asked Alishe, "What is the name of this general?"

    Alishe said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the Great Protector immediately, otherwise you will all die here."

    Chen Xuanli said: "Please don't be anxious. Li Daduhu has been rescued. We did not expect such a change today. We were originally here to convey the order. General Geshu will be the commander-in-chief of Tongguan. Li Daduhu left the city unexpectedly."  We refused to accept the order and led the soldiers to attack us under the instigation of Feng Changqing. We had no choice but to launch a counterattack. Feng Changqing was killed on the spot, while Li Daduhu was rescued by a man with extremely high martial arts skills.  A fair-faced person doesn¡¯t need to be handsome, I think he¡¯s going in the direction you came from, didn¡¯t you see it?¡±

    Alishe was puzzled when he heard this, and said: "How is it possible? I know all the soldiers under Protector Dadu. Where is the person you mentioned? Stop talking nonsense. If we capture you first, we will know who Protector Dadu is.  Where.¡±

    After saying that, Alishe was about to march in with his army.?, Chen Xuanli shouted: "Wait a minute! General, you know that we are a team here to deliver the order, but you still want to attack? Isn't this an open rebellion?"

    Alishe sneered: "If anything happens to Protector Dadu, will someone rebel if I, Alishe, don't resist? The imperial edict and the emperor are at odds. If something happens to Protector Dadu, I, Alishe, promised the young guard to protect Protector Dadu."  , so I have no choice but to use your sacrificial sword, and if you rebel, you will rebel."

    When Chen Xuanli saw that Alishe didn't take the emperor seriously at all, he was about to attack. In desperation, Chen Xuanli said: "Wait a minute, we can put down our weapons and let you search. There are only so many dead people here. Soon  We will know if Protector Li is there. If not, we will have to go to Tongguan to announce the decree. Protector Li is fine but you rebelled. Wouldn¡¯t it be against Protector Li¡¯s wishes? This general must not be reckless.  ."

    Alishe couldn't help but hesitate when he heard what Chen Xuanli said. Yes, Li Siye has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He wanted to leave immediately after receiving the imperial edict from King Qin. Although he didn't know where he was now, Alishe killed all the imperial envoys if nothing happened.  It was troublesome. Alishe raised his head and looked at Chen Xuanli coldly.

    Chen Xuanli was ecstatic and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had passed the test. Sure enough, Alishe said: "Your people stand back and put down their weapons. I will check them one by one. We will also check the corpses on the ground carefully. If it is true,  You said it, then we won't make it difficult for you to go to Tongguan to deliver the decree. If anything happens to Protector Li, then today will be the day you die."

    After saying that, Ali shot his horse back to the formation. Soon, Ali shot's cavalry was divided into two parts. One part was still in place, and the other part began to surround the entire battlefield. Chen Xuanli returned to his formation and explained the conditions.  , Ge Shuhan sighed and was speechless, but Han Chengkui said nervously: "Then if they find out later that Li Siye is dead, won't we become meat on the chopping board? There will only be a dead end."

    Chen Xuanli sneered and said: "If we fail to pass this level, we will be dead now. We have to wait until we can truly accept Tongguan to be safe. We are too optimistic. Now you can only pray that none of your soldiers will leak the news."

    Soon the soldiers of the Forbidden Army put down their weapons and retreated after being ordered to do so. The cavalry general under Ali Archer carefully inspected both the living and the dead, then took out a black bag and packed the bodies of the dead Li Siye soldiers and put them away.  On horseback, Alishe rode forward and said to Chen Xuanli: "You didn't lie. The Great Protector is indeed not here. Aren't you going to Tongguan? Then leave right away. I want to do my best for these dead Anxi people."  Soldiers seek justice."

    Chen Xuanli secretly wiped his sweat and said: "You Anxi soldiers are indeed powerful. If you want justice, where can you seek justice for our more than two thousand dead soldiers? Feng Changqing, the instigator, is also dead. We must go to Tongguan immediately, otherwise the An thieves will  If we attack and lose Tongguan, can you bear the responsibility?"

    So Alishe said no more, and led the cavalry as if escorting him and Ge Shuhan and his party returned to Tongguan. The infantry general Yin Xiushi also received the news and was waiting anxiously. When he saw Alishe leading his troops back, he immediately asked:  "Where's the Protector? The person you sent to report back didn't say anything clear about the life, death, and whereabouts of the Protector?"

    Alishe said angrily: "When I got there, I only saw that all the soldiers of the Protector-General were dead there. Even the general Li Sizong was dead. The Protector-General alone was not there. The bird general from Chang'an was said to be the Protector-General.  Someone with extraordinary skills rescued him. I searched carefully and found that there was indeed no sign of the Protector there. When I arrived, the other party had just killed the Protector's soldiers, so it didn't seem like he was lying."

    Alishe turned back and glanced at Ge Shuhan and the others, pulled Yin Xiushi a few steps to the side and whispered: "Now, no matter whether the guardian is dead or alive, the emperor will not make it easy for us, so why don't we just do the opposite?  , picked up our soldiers and returned to Anxi. Anlushan wanted to fight the emperor to death, so why don't we get involved? I always thought it was more dangerous than anything, but I didn't kill them all because I didn't have evidence. I Ali shot  You still know that killing the imperial envoy would be tantamount to rebellion. You have always been upright, so let me ask you what to do?"

    Yin Xiushi rolled her eyes at Alishe and said: "Now that most of the governors are alive and dead, it is impossible for us to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and still be able to return to Anxi smoothly. The way back is too long. Let's see what General Geshu said.  We have more than 100,000 Anxi good men here, and Li Dadu is not here to protect them. I, Yin Xiushi, have to be responsible for them. I don¡¯t know that Dadu protector is in danger, but now I can only hold back. I can¡¯t hand over Anxi¡¯s army to anyone. No matter we get Dadu  We must hold back any news from the guards and act as if we are obeying orders first. Then we will see how Anxi's young guard responds and then we can respond. This is the safest way."

    Alishe nodded in agreement, and the two turned around and walked towards Ge Shuhan and Chen Xuanli. Han Chengkui had already gone to his troops to seal his mouth, absolutely?Being able to tell Li Siye's whereabouts is the key to saving his life and wealth. As long as they are not idiots, these Chang'an Imperial Guards know what to say and what not to say.

    Yin Xiushi said: "General Geshu, Daduhu is not here now. The Anxi army is led by me and General Alishe. The 80,000-strong army in Chang'an was originally commanded by General Feng Changqing. Now that General Feng Changqing is dead, the army is led by Twelve  The famous Lieutenant Commander of the Military Academy."

    Ge Shuhan had a high prestige in the Tang army, so he said: "Then please ask General Yin to call these commanders and receive the order here."

    Yin Xiushi sent someone, and soon all the generals from Tongguan arrived. Ge Shuhan signaled Chen Xuanli to announce the edict. Because Ge Shuhan was a key figure in the edict, he did not read out the edict himself, so Chen Xuanli  The imperial edict was unfolded and the reading began. When they read that Li Siye and Feng Changqing defied the edict and refused to beheaded in public, Yin Xiushi and Alishe below raised their heads and pressed their hands on the handles of the swords at their waists. Chen Xuanli did not care.  Impressed, he finished reciting the imperial edict with an expressionless face. The last person he recited was that Ge Shuhan was the commander-in-chief of Tongguan and Han Chengkui was his deputy.

    Thinking that Li Siye and Feng Changqing were not here, all the generals present looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The generals under Feng Changqing were okay, they were all generals from Chang'an. Ge Shuhan could accept it smoothly. The twelve famous commanders  Wei Wei had no objection. Feng Changqing was originally just the designated superior, but for them it was more suitable for them to have Ge Shuhan lead them.

    Ge Shuhan has now made up his mind. He already has 80,000 Tongguan defenders in his hands. Now it depends on whether he can subdue the two generals under Li Siye and Tongguan can be completely stabilized. But Ge Shuhan knows that now  It was the most difficult moment. He waved to everyone except Yin Xiushi and Alishe to go out. Chen Xuanli grabbed Han Chengkui who wanted to speak and went out first. The other generals naturally went out as well.

    When Ge Shuhan, Yin Xiushi and Alishe were left in the hall, Ge Shuhan sighed and said: "I don't want to lie to you. Li Daduhu is dead. Daduhu committed suicide after hearing the imperial edict. Daduhu  Protector's loyalty and patriotism can be seen day by day, and I had no choice but to do so. The body of Protector-General was snatched away by a master. In fact, I will not do the public display of the head as mentioned in the imperial edict. Now we are facing An Lushan  There are hundreds of thousands of troops. My brother Shu Han has led the battle for so many years and has always been very strong against his generals. I promise here that I will never deprive you of your military power. Please put the Tang Dynasty first and don't let Li Dadu down.  I¡¯m here to ask you for your patriotic and painstaking efforts.¡±

    After speaking, Ge Shuhan dragged the sick body and knelt down. Yin Xiushi and Ali She were both shocked by what Ge Shuhan said. Da Duhu was actually dead?  What Yin Xiushi considered was that his Anxi army would definitely be in chaos, because the traces of the Li family on this army were too deep, including himself. The imperial court forced Li Siye to death, and regardless of whether Li Siye committed suicide, the result was that Li Siye died.  After his death, Yin Xiushi lost confidence in whether he could still control his army. If the exact information of Li Siye's life and death was not known, Anxi's army could still remain stable under the leadership of the two generals. So now as long as Li Siye dies.  As soon as the news spread, it was guaranteed that the Anxi army would mutiny immediately.

    The five thousand swordsmen trained by Li Siye will never be left again. It would be a blessing if they didn't rebel. There are also the cavalry under Ali Archer, because many of Ali Archer's cavalry are from the grasslands.  Nation, these nations have very simple thoughts. They don¡¯t care who is the emperor. They only know that Li Siye and Li Zuoguo are their masters, who give them a superior life. Li Siye and Li Zuoguo are their gods. Who killed Li Siye and the others?  Whoever wants to die, whether he is the emperor or not, is the emperor in the Anxi Li family.

    So Yin Xiuzhen is now two years old. Although Alishe told Yin Xiuzhen when he came back that he thought Li Siye was probably more likely to be in danger, but now that he really knew that Li Siye was dead, he was numb at first, and his body was covered with blood.  It was as if the top and bottom were frozen, and then angrily thawed from top to bottom. Alishe ignored Brother Shuhan who was still kneeling there, pulled out his waist knife with his backhand, and turned around to go out.

    Yin Xiushi grabbed Alishe and said, "What are you doing?"

    Alishe's eyes were blood red and he shouted: "Dadu protected me to death, everyone protected me to deathahahhhh." As he said that, tears welled up. Alishe quickly wiped them with his hands, but unexpectedly,  The tears flowed so much that he couldn't wipe them away, saying: "In such a cruel court, the Protector-General worked so hard to come here to help him fight, but he was forced to death. I, I I will fight back to Chang'an to avenge the Protector-General.  "

    Ge Shuhan's health had just improved, but now he was kneeling on the ground and his whole body began to hurt. In addition, Alishe's reaction made Ge Shuhan anxious. A thick layer of cold sweat suddenly spread on his forehead. Ge Shuhan knew that he could only speak now.  It had the opposite effect, so he remained silent because Yin Xiushi held him backIf Yin Xiushi didn't do this, Ge Shuhan would have to go out immediately to prepare for the rebellion of the Anxi Army. There is still a glimmer of hope because Yin Xiushi has not lost his mind.

    Sure enough, Yin Xiushi said loudly to Alishe: "How to take revenge? Go and kill the emperor? Now can our hundreds of thousands of brothers go with you to attack Chang'an? Or do you just lead the An Lushan rebels to attack Chang'an? You  Are you trying to drive Dadu Protector out of the ground so angry that you can¡¯t rest in peace?¡±

    Yin Xiushi's series of questions made Alishe speechless. Alishe muttered for a long time and said: "Thisif I know the news about the Great Protector, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my cavalry at all."

    Yin Xiushi turned around and helped Ge Shuhan up and said: "Master Geshu, it's not that we don't want to help you, nor that we don't want to fulfill the loyal heart of the Protector. It's really that the Protector of the Protector's prestige in the army is too high, as long as he is here."  Morale will plummet when the news of his death spreads. If the soldiers find out that it was the imperial court that forced the Protector to die, then I and I will definitely not be able to control the army."

    Brother Shuhan was shocked and asked: "Below Li Siye, you two have the highest official positions. Why can't you control the army?"
