Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"What do you think?" Ji Ruxue pressed the knife in her hand a little harder.

"Presumptuous! Put the knife down quickly!"

Liuzi's expression changed, and he immediately pulled out the purple gold hammer and pointed it at Ji Ruxue. With a speed that was only between Xumi and Xumi, he put the tip of the hammer against Ji Ruxue's throat.

Seeing the latter's frown, she didn't expect that this humble man could be so powerful in martial arts, even three points better than when she was in his prime.

"Six sons, please don't be rude." Signaling the six sons to remove their weapons, Fan Xin said calmly to Ji Ruxue: "As you think, I am none other than Fan Xin, with the title of King Yan!"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Ruxue's beautiful eyes narrowed and she stared at Fan Xin closely: "It's really you, the traitor. No wonder I think you look familiar. It turns out it's really you!" After that, she was about to take action.

At the critical moment, Fan Xin suddenly said.

"You may not know that just yesterday Fan Yang Jiedushi An Lushan led an army of 200,000 to attack several towns one after another, and the troops were directed towards Tongguan."

Swish!

The blade stopped in front of Fan Xin's chest,

Ji Ruxue said with a cold face: "You mean An Lushan rebelled?"

She had reminded the emperor at the beginning that Hu people could not be trusted, but the emperor did not listen to her at all because of the confusion of Yang Guozhong and the three Yang sisters.

He even sent Yang Xiuting to get rid of him. Thinking of these Ji Ruxue felt helpless.

"Of course, the 180,000 new troops of the Tang Dynasty, plus the remnants of the Khitan, the Xi clan, and the Wei clan, a total of 200,000 people, captured several counties around Luoyang with overwhelming momentum."

"You have been in a bad religion all year round, so you should know what this means." Fan Xin said calmly.

Ji Ruxue shuddered, and her pretty face instantly turned pale. Most of the well-trained sergeants in recent years have been sent to the border towns. The ones left behind in Chang'an are recruits who have never fought in a war. Let such people resist Anlu. Mountain, is it possible? "

Seeing that she figured out the key, Fan Xin smiled slightly and pushed away the tip of the sword.

"Yes, it is basically impossible to expect the new army of the imperial court to defeat Anlu Mountain in the short term. Even if it is suppressed later, it will cause unbearable damage to the Tang Dynasty."

"Right now, only my army can destroy the rebels. Do you want to cooperate with me?"

"how to cooperate?"

"Simple, hand over the list of all members of the Bad Cult and the information you have!"

"Impossible!" Ji Ruxue refused without thinking. The reason why bad people are awe-inspiring is not because of their high martial arts skills, but because of their disguised identities that no one knows.

Handing over the list can certainly eliminate An Lushan, but at the same time the bad religion will no longer exist.

Fan Xin was not surprised by her answer and turned around and walked out.

"I'll give you one day to think about it. If you don't agree to cooperate after one day, don't blame me for standing idly by."

"Also, Ge Shuhan has already arrived at Tongguan. With Li Longji's character of overjoying success, he will soon be urged to come out for a decisive battle. You should know what this means."

After that, he opened the door and walked out.

When they came outside, Liu Zi hesitated and said: Your Majesty, the rebels are cruel. What if they lead troops to Qianling? There is the tomb of Emperor Zetian. "

"Send someone to tell An Lushan that if he dares to disturb the Great Sage Emperor Zetian, I will cut him into pieces even if he goes to heaven or earth!"

"Order Lin Tie to lead an army of 100,000 and march to Qianling immediately. No one is allowed to disturb the Great Sage Emperor Zetian!" Fan Xin said coldly.

"I will obey your orders!" Liuzi clasped his fists, hurriedly wrote a secret letter, tied it to the carrier pigeon's leg and let it go.

……

Tongguan, outside, Anjun camp.

At this time, the place was filled with soldiers wearing armor, and everyone had a solemn look on their face.

"An Qingxu, I ordered you to be the forward general, and this is how you repay me? The army has been attacking the city for five consecutive hours, and you haven't even made any progress. How do you ask me to explain!"

A middle-aged man named An Qingxu knelt on the ground with his right hand on his chest and said.

"Father, it's not that the child is incompetent, but that brother Shu Han can't avoid fighting all day long, and we lack siege equipment, so..."

"Hmph, trash!"

Shi Siming on the side smiled and smoothed things over: "Commander An, calm down. Tongguan has been a dangerous place since ancient times. It is understandable that Qingxu has not made any progress. I have a plan to get Brother Shuhan to come out."

Hearing this, An Lushan's eyes lit up: "Oh? Do you have any plans?"

Shi Siming whispered a few words in An Lushan's ear, which made An Lushan laugh and praise.

"You are worthy of being my most trusted helper. This plan is indeed sophisticated. I will do as you say."

Speaking of this, An Lushan said to his son: "An Qingxu, learn from General Shi in the future, and don't let stupidity blind your brain."

"Hahaha" the generals in the big tent laughed loudly. Amid everyone's laughter, An Qingxu said yes, stood up and walked out.

But what no one saw was that his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Just when An Lushan and others were laughing, a soldier suddenly broke into the tent, holding a letter in both hands.

"Commander Qi, there is a letter from King Yan Xin!"

"Fan Xin? Why is he writing to me?" An Lushan frowned, signaled the generals to be quiet, and took the letter.

However, when he saw the content clearly, he kicked the table over in anger and shouted: "This is too much!"

"What's wrong, Commander? What does the letter say?" the soldiers asked curiously.

"Hmph, what else can I do? Keep my army away from Qianling, otherwise we will be wiped out in an instant!"

Hearing these words, the generals sitting there looked at each other vaguely, and the expressions on their faces flashed away.

He thought to himself: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is indeed very affectionate and loyal. Even now, he is still thinking about the Great Sage Emperor Zetian. If they had not been ordered to accompany An Lushan in the rebellion, they would really want to lead the army back to the prince's rule."

Shi Siming pondered for a while and then said: "Commander An, calm down. As far as I know, Fan Xin has an elite army of 500,000 people, which is far stronger than us."

"Furthermore, this person has an extremely deep relationship with Wu Zetian. He even didn't steal the country for her. If Li Longji hadn't pushed too hard, I'm afraid he would still be in Youzhou today."

"We must not offend such a person!"

These words were like pouring cold water on An Lushan, instantly extinguishing his anger.

Yes, how could he forget Fan Xin, the strongest person.

After thinking this, An Lushan coughed and said: "Go on, no one is allowed to enter the Qianling Mausoleum in Liangshan without an order from me. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

"I will obey your orders!" All the generals shouted in unison.

An Lushan shook his head, walked out with his hands behind his back, and muttered.

"Damn it, Fan Xin wants to overwhelm me even in Luoyang. The more you have, the more powerful you will be!"

After walking out of the tent, An Lushan rode a horse and looked at Tongguan in the distance. He said coldly: "Pass this commander's order to retreat immediately!"

"Commander, what did you say, retreat?" The accompanying generals thought they had heard wrongly. It was a critical period for the battle for the city. If they ordered a retreat without authorization, they would probably lose many soldiers.
