    Yin Xiushi smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Geshu is pretending not to know, right? If the governor did not have Shule to guard Li Zuoguo's son, then the two of us could control the army, but now we have those who we can trust and those who cannot be trusted.  We can't tell the difference, because the Li family is deeply rooted in Anxi, and the families of all the soldiers are in Anxi. Moreover, although the governor is dead but Li Zuoguo is still there, the army will only be loyal to one person, not the emperor who forced the governor to death, but Li Zuoguo.  "

    Alishe nodded repeatedly, as if he had been evacuated, and all his energy and energy had been lost. Alishe suddenly made up his mind and said: "General Yin, let me lead these people who are unwilling to work hard for the Tang Dynasty."  The soldiers should leave, lest the general rise up and take advantage of the old thief An Lushan. You take the remaining troops to help General Geshu guard Tongguan. Now you have to tell Dalang the news about the general. I don¡¯t know what Dalang will do.  If you react like this, let me go back and bear Dalang's anger."

    Yin Xiushi nodded heavily and agreed to Alishe's request. Brother Shuhan had no choice but to agree to the two people's ideas. The three discussed for a while and decided to conceal the news about Li Siye first, and then let Alishe come forward to confront the general.  He picked out the dissatisfied generals and led these soldiers away. Ge Shuhan knew that soldiers recruited from Bashu and Hexi Road would soon enter Chang'an, so that the defenders of Tongguan could be further enriched. At that time, the troops in Anxi  It is no longer the key.

    Of course, Brother Shuhan would not tell Yin Xiushi and Alishe this. The death of Li Siye was a big blow to Alishe, and Alishe fell into a haze, feeling depressed.  The anger was getting stronger and stronger, and Brother Shuhan felt that Alishe would become violent at the next moment. Brother Shuhan would not be surprised if he went crazy.

    Although Yin Xiushi had been under Li Siye for a long time and was promoted by Li Siye, Yin Xiushi had always believed that Anxi was Anxi of the Tang Dynasty and he was a general of the Tang Dynasty.  Li Siye won one victory after another in Anxi, and Yin Xiushi was also happy. However, Yin Xiushi had always been quite critical of the series of changes that Li Zuoguo started for the army, because in this way, the army only knew about Li Siye and his son but not about the Tang Dynasty.  The emperor, but Yin Xiushi knew that he could not fight against Li Siye and his son, so he tolerated it.

    This time Li Siye responded to the imperial edict and sent troops to Chang'an. Yin Xiushi was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days. He felt that Li Siye was still a loyal minister and a minister of the Tang Dynasty like himself, so Yin Xiushi took the initiative to ask for a fight and went to Tongguan and Anlu Mountain with Li Siye.  In the battle, Li Siye was actually forced to die. Needless to say, Yin Xiushi also knew the sneak attack method used by Ge Shuhan and the others. Li Siye's death made Yin Xiushi feel cold. He originally thought that Li Siye had disobedient intentions, but Li Siye died to make his ambition clear, but he wanted to  Continuing to help brother Shuhan stabilize the morale of the army, Yin Xiushi only felt bitter.

    The three of them walked out of the door, only to see a courtyard full of people, all of them Anxi generals. The two standing in front of them were Captain Sanjani, the commander of the Mo Dao Army. This Sanjani's ancestor was a cannibal.  Due to the persecution of the Umayyad Dynasty, he settled in Shule. Sanjani was extremely tall and strong. He joined the army during the recruitment process and became a commander of the Tang Dynasty border army in Tianbao five years ago. Five years ago, Mo Dao soldiers were promoted in Anxi.  Sanjani had already become the brigade commander under Li Siye at that time. Because his physical condition was very suitable and he performed well in the Modao troops, Sanjani was now one of the two generals among the 10,000 Modao troops in Anxi.  Official position.

    Sanjani is extremely tall, almost the same height as Li Siye. His face is a typical Caucasian appearance, and his hair is brown and curly. His loyalty to Li Siye needs no elaboration. He appeared outside the coach's room in Tongguan today.  In the courtyard, he was wearing the armor worn by Mo Dao soldiers when they went into battle. The whole person looked like it was made of steel. The long Mo Dao was carried on the back, and the helmet Sanjani held it in front of his chest with his left hand. There was only one expression on his face,  It was fear, yes, this brave man who never frowned when fighting the enemy face to face was full of fear. He was afraid that his general, Li Siye, the symbol of invincibility he admired, was really dead.

    There was another person standing next to Sanjani, the Infantry Colonel Duan Heng. This was Duan Yuntian's son and a trusted general of Li Siye. He was not very old, only twenty-five years old, but his martial arts skills impressed his father Duan Yuntian.  Duan Yuntian is one of the four great generals under Li Siye and is very loyal to Li Siye. Duan Yuntian did not come with him this time because he sent his son to follow Li Siye. Duan Yuntian believed that his son was stronger than him.  Be able to serve Li Siye better.

    The appearance of Sanjani and Duan Heng made Yin Xiushi secretly think that it was not good, the news must have leaked. Alishe was a little confused at this time, his eyes were unfocused, Alishe was still immersed in sadness, and Li Siye's death was a big blow to him.  , seeing Yin Xiushi and Alishe appear, Sanjani and Duan Heng led a group of lieutenants and generals under their command to step forward and block the courtyard door.

    ??Sanjani clasped his breastplate with his right hand and made a "clang" sound in a military salute: "After Lord Alishe's cavalry came back, they brought back the bodies of Li Siye and Li Duhu's soldiers. Where is Yin Hu General Li Duhu?  "

    Yin Xiushi pondered for a moment and said: "Li Duhu was rescued by a man with strong martial arts skills. He is still alive and dead. We don't know where Li Duhu was taken, but we will send people to search immediately. You just happened to come over.  Come and meet General Shu Han, the handsome man appointed by the imperial court to be the new commander of Tongguan."

    Sanjani had a scared look on his face, which made Ge Shuhan look down upon him. Such a fierce-looking man actually looked like a scared bear. Ge Shuhan felt a bit contemptuous in his heart. Yin Xiushi introduced him,  Ge Shuhan stepped forward with a smile on his face.

    Suddenly the fear on Sanjani's face turned into a ferocious one, and his whole face was distorted. Murderous aura emanated from his eyes without any concealment. He put the helmet on his head with his dustpan-sized hand, and pulled out the long hair from behind with one backhand.  Ganmo Dao, the sharp blade reflected the strong body wearing armor, and murderous intent suddenly appeared.

    Ge Shuhan did not retreat even a step, showing that he was also experienced in many battles. The left chariot had already reached Ge Shuhan's side, and the horizontal knife was already in his hand, ready to resist Sanjani at any time. Ge Shuhan looked up at Sanjani.  , said: "I am in charge of Tongguan by imperial decree. What do you want to do as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty?"

    Sanjani's deep voice came through the gap in his helmet and visor: "Li Duhu went out of the city to meet the messenger, and then all his guards died in the battle. His whereabouts are unknown, and then you guy showed up, claiming to take over Tongguan.  , we have all become your subordinates, right? Then there is only one possibility. Li Daduhu must have been poisoned by you, right? It is impossible that Li Duhu is alive but all his soldiers are dead. I am sorry.  Jani is just a rough man, but he knows one thing. Li Duhu traveled thousands of miles to rescue Chang'an, but what was the result? It was an ambush. I, Sanjani, have only one word for such a court."

    Sanjani took a deep breath and suddenly raised the huge Mo Dao above his head and shouted: "It is revenge. Even if it costs your life, you must avenge the Great Protector."

    Ge Shuhan's face changed drastically. It seemed that there was really no way to hide it. After all, what he did was really dirty. The left car had already stood in front of Ge Shuhan. He looked at Sanjani who was shouting wildly in front of him. Sanjani's shouts  As soon as the drinking stopped, a louder "revenge" sounded, coming from outside the hospital. The sounds soon merged into one. There were probably hundreds of people shouting. The sound of weapons clashing was also clearly audible. Ge Shuhan took a step back.  , his face was calm but his eyes were looking at Yin Xiushi, the situation was out of control now.

    Li Siye's prestige in the Anxi Army is too high, especially the Modao Troop, which was built by Li Siye step by step. Li Siye himself is the idol of every Mo Dao Soldier, so the first one to stand up was the Modao Troop, who was responsible for Li Siye's life and death.  Duan Heng, who was standing next to Sanjani, took two steps forward. Without looking at his brother Shuhan, he directly asked Yin Xiushi: "General Yin, what's going on with the Protector General Yin? Don't fool us with your nonsense, even if  Even if Dadu protects us well, we will not fall under the hands of this Lord Geshu. Isn¡¯t the imperial court afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers by doing this?"

    Yin Xiushi pointed at Duan Heng and said: "Youhow dare you lead the troops out of the camp. This is a crime of rebellion. And you, Sanjani, also took the soldiers out of the camp without permission. Are you all going to rebel?"

    Duan Heng had only anger on his face, and said: "Dadu Protector is in trouble, and we are going to rebel. You, Yin Xiushi, have been flirting with this person who harmed Dadu Protector. What qualifications do you have to point fingers here? Let's ask the good man in Anxi, who will do it again?  Are you willing to sacrifice your life for this ruthless and unjust court? Our family is all in Anxi, fighting for the Tang Dynasty. Isn't there too much blood shed? In the end, Qinwang Daduhu of Qianli ended up like this, so what if he did the opposite? Let's kill him first  These Imperial Guards who have harmed our brothers in the Guards Camp will kill you, a traitor who cares about life and death, and then return to Anxi."

    Duan Heng patted Sanjani on the back, turned around and walked out of the courtyard without looking at Yin Xiushi again. A dozen generals near the courtyard followed Duan Heng and walked out. Zuo Che knew that he was going out to command the troops outside.  Now, all the imperial troops are in this courtyard. Originally, Tongguan was a military level, and the house where the general was located was a fortress and the place of last resistance. Therefore, it could accommodate thousands of people for defense. It was a small castle.  Zuo Che glanced at him, and the two Ge Shuhan soldiers next to him turned around and gathered the soldiers.

    Chen Xuanli and Han Chengkui were also in the courtyard. When they realized that something was wrong, they both quietly slipped out to gather their troops. Only Sanjani from the Anxi Army was left in the entire courtyard. Behind Sanjani  Fifty Mo Dao soldiers with full body armor stood in three rows. Sanjani pointed the Mo Dao at Yin Xiushi and said: "Those who betray the Lord, get out of the way immediately, and wait for me to avenge the Great Protector and take the lives of these shameless people.  "

    Yin Xiushi has always thought highly of herself in the militaryIn his opinion, Li Siye is the supreme commander of the Anxi Army, so he is the one who ranks lower in the ranking. According to his official position, he should make the decision. Why is everything in chaos now?  The soldiers and generals below showed no respect for him at this time, only disgust and hatred. Only then did Yin Xiushi understand that without Li Siye, he would not be able to command these proud soldiers.

    At this time, all the Anxi generals in the courtyard drew their weapons and stared at the people who were delivering the order. More than a dozen captains under Feng Changqing hurriedly stood against the wall to express neutrality. They had deep feelings during several battles side by side.  He is well aware of the strength of the Anxi Army, and his own troops are far from being a match for the Anxi Army. So what if the people from Chang'an have the emperor's orders?  Even if the emperor wants to pursue the case, it will be a matter in the future. Now they can see clearly that whoever stands in front of these red-eyed Anxi troops will die.

    Brother Shuhan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, slowly retreated when he saw this situation. He retreated to a captain under Feng Changqing and asked in a low voice: "Where is your army? Can it be mobilized?"

    The captain glanced at Ge Shuhan and said: "Our army is close to the inner perimeter, not far from here. It is divided into two battalions on the left and right, each battalion has 40,000 people."

    Ge Shuhan said: "Okay, go to your camp immediately, take only a dozen people with you, and be fast."

    The captain said impatiently: "It's none of our business if the Anxi people want to take revenge. Why should we go against the Anxi army?"

    Ge Shuhan said gloomily: "The Anxi army has a place to retreat. Do you have a place to retreat? Your family members are in Chang'an. If Tongguan fails and Anlu Mountain invades Chang'an, your children will also suffer. Now hold on to your soldiers."  , defending Tongguan can actually achieve meritorious service. If the Anxi army cannot attack for a long time, the thought of withdrawing will prevail. It is just a defense of the military camp, but you don't dare to do this? This is a great achievement, and the saint will not hesitate to reward it."

    When the captain heard this, he was full of threats and inducements. He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, we will withdraw immediately and guard our barracks. How many people will General Geshu take?"

    The conversation between the two of them was heard by the nearby captains, and they all remembered that this was indeed the case. If they did not resist the Anxi Army's mutiny and just sit back and watch Ge Shuhan and others being killed, then there would definitely be no good things to eat, so everyone looked at each other.  They all nodded in unison, they also had 80,000 troops in hand, and the general's palace was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they were still sure to resist the Anxi army's attack.

    Yin Xiushi was still in despair, but Alishe had already made up his mind. He took a few steps forward and said to Sanjani: "Where are my cavalry? Is it the opposite?"

    Sanjani said in a sullen voice: "It was the brothers of the cavalry who informed us, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark. The brothers of the cavalry have withdrawn from Tongguan." Sanjani knew that Ali She was the cavalry commander, much better than Yin Xiushi, the infantry commander.  Alishe was much more prestigious, so he answered Alishe's question.

    Alishe thought about it and realized that the cavalry was really not suitable for fighting in a city like Tongguan. By withdrawing, it could prevent the troops from Chang'an from coming. Secondly, when the Western Army of Tongguan and Anxi retreated, they could also cut off the rear for the infantry. He came up with this arrangement.  People are not simple.

    Alishe said: "I want to go to my cavalry. I don't want to stay here anymore. Don't stop me. If you want to kill me, just cut it down. I want to go back to Anxi."

    As he spoke, Alishe walked over to Sanjani and walked directly to the door. Sanjani did not move, nor did his Mo Dao soldiers. Yin Xiushi watched Alishe leave, and her heart sank. The troops looked at  I can¡¯t control it now, what should I do?

    Sanjani's eyes glanced over. Zuo Che looked at Sanjani without fear. He was also the master of countless murderers. The soldiers around Ge Shuhan were all extremely powerful warriors. At this time, there was another group in the courtyard.  More than a hundred people had their weapons drawn, but because they were in Tongguan City, they almost didn't bring any long weapons, and most of them were horizontal swords. This courtyard is the office of the general of Tongguan, and it occupies a large area.

    Zuo Che knew why Sanjani had been standing at the door with his troops. He wanted to guard the courtyard gate. Mo Dao soldiers were originally heavy infantry on the defensive. Offense was not their specialty. As long as they guarded this door, then Anxi led by Duan Heng would  The army can easily rush in here and kill everyone, so Zuocha must take back this door.

    Chen Xuanli has also been a general who has led troops for many years. He rushed to his camp as soon as he left the front yard. The loss of Chen Xuanli's imperial army was not heavy, and there were still two thousand people in hand. Chen Xuanli knew that if he did not take back the gate, he would have to be defeated when facing the Anxi army.  After killing all the way, the gate in the front yard was originally the best gate to defend. Now that Sanjani and Mo Dao soldiers were guarding it, Chen Xuanli had no choice but to go back to intercept the Anxi Army's backup. On the way, Chen Xuanli called to Han Chengkui to also bring his own.  The soldiers came to join forces and occupy the front gate. Zuocha will lead Ge Shuhan's soldiers to attack frontally. After defending, the Anxi army will not dare to stay for a long time, and the siege will be relieved.

    BrotherHan persuaded about half of the defenders in Tongguan, and now the situation is very simple. The gate of the general's mansion is guarded by about a hundred Mo Dao soldiers led by Sanjani, of whom fifty are inside and fifty are outside. Duan Heng  Go back and organize the Anxi army to attack, because the Anxi army's camp is close to the city wall and far away from the general's palace. Duan Heng and others originally came to inquire about Li Siye, but unexpectedly they saw Alishe, Yin Xiushi and Ge Shuhan  Come out of the inner hall together.

    " Duan Heng was different from his father. He was a man with raised eyebrows. He immediately decided to leave Tongguan. But now that he didn't have enough strength, Duan Heng quit and gathered troops.

    The sound of mobilizing troops could be heard faintly in the distance. Zuo Cha knew that he could not wait any longer and shouted: "Put thirty people on the wall and bring crossbows to shoot them. Go to the back and find long weapons. Use the crossbows first."  Say hello and be sure to take back the door.

    The Geshuhan soldiers standing in the courtyard immediately took action. A dozen of them ran to the back to get long weapons, and the rest took out their crossbows and began to cock them. Originally, the general's office was for defense. On the wall  Three people could walk side by side, and there were also battlements. The wall was four meters high. It was completely like a small city. Geshuhan's soldiers climbed up and dozens of people started firing arrows at the Mo Dao soldiers blocking the door. Zuo Che and others in the courtyard also  He began to fire arrows at the Mo Dao soldiers who were close at hand.

    Duan Heng loudly urged the troops to advance, and every soldier in the Anxi Army was filled with anger.  Everyone wants to take revenge, avenge the Protector, and then go back to Anxi. Everyone thinks so, but after all, they are rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. The Anxi soldiers who used to be calm and calm when facing any foreign enemies are a little anxious at this time.  .

    The Tongguan garrison commanded by Ge Shuhan and the forces in the hands of Chen Xuanli and others are also concentrating here. Compared with the Anxi army, the forces of both sides are smaller but more elite. Ge Shuhan's men are more numerous and have a righteous reputation. In ancient times, they rebelled.  But a terrible thing is that the army originally rebelled out of righteous indignation, but its combat effectiveness can be said to have plummeted because they no longer have a backbone.

    This sudden mutiny in Tongguan started when Zuo Che and his seventy soldiers rushed towards the fifty soldiers led by Sanjani
