The entire capital was in chaos, and countless people rushed to escape from the capital.
Whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people.
In the end, the entire huge capital was almost half empty, and the original blooming flowers suddenly became deserted.
That same night, 10,000 vanguard cavalry led by An Lushan's son An Qingxu arrived at Chang'an City. At this time, Chang'an City had no troops to defend it as the emperor fled. An Qingxu occupied the capital with almost no effort. Since then, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, has also completely fallen.
Counting the time, it only took more than a month from An Lushan's rebellion in November last month to the capture and occupation of Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an, the capital, in December.
In just over a month, An Lushan directly captured the eastern and western capitals of the Tang Dynasty from the time he raised his troops, which was not unpleasant.
Under the night, Bai Yuxian, together with sisters Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuqing, stood on the clouds and looked calmly at the scene below of An Qingxu leading troops into the city to occupy the capital.
Compared with the Anshi Rebellion in parallel time and space in later generations, the current Anlushan Rebellion was much smoother. In just over a month, it captured the eastern and western capitals of the Tang Dynasty with overwhelming force.
After An Qingxu led the army to Chang'an City, there was another chaos in Chang'an City.
Especially those concubines and maidens in the palace who had not had time to escape or had no intention of escaping, became the targets of rape and robbery when An Qingxu led his army into the palace.
Since ancient times, the consequences of rebellion and the capture of the capital by the rebels are naturally self-evident.
Sisters Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuqing, who were watching this scene together with Bai Yuxian, suddenly turned pale.
They dare not imagine what would have happened if there was no Bai Yuxian and their sisters were still in the palace at this time.
Of course, even without Bai Yuxian, the two sisters would definitely be taken away by Li Longji, especially Yang Yuhuan, but even if they followed Li Longji, the end would not be much better.
The sisters Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuqing that Li Longji took away before were transformed by a strand of hair from sisters Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuqing that Bai Yuxian had temporarily learned in the past few days. It is formed by illusion, but it is very difficult for people to see through it. Even a strong person with ordinary divine power level, unless he observes carefully and is proficient in the art of hating victory, it may be difficult to see it.
After all, Bai Yuxian's current level of cultivation is here, and although he only learned the art of hating victory in a few days, he has already directly cultivated it to the level of Dzogchen.
"Let's go."
At this time, Bai Yuxian also spoke, no longer interested in watching.
The capital has fallen, and there is nothing left to see.
Next, it was Li Longji's side, and Bai Yuxian was going to have a look.
After the Anshi Rebellion broke out in parallel time and space in later generations, Li Longji led his troops to flee to Chengdu. On the way to Maweipo, Prince Li Heng launched a mutiny to seize power, and killed Yang Guozhong and the Yang sisters. Yang Yuhuan was also forced to die by Li Longji.
Now that Li Heng died early and became the new prince Li Wang, Bai Yuxian wanted to see if the Maweipo Incident would break out and whether Li Wang would take the opportunity to seize power.
If Li Wang wants to seize power and ascend to the throne, then this is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Because An Lushan rebelled, the obvious reason was the conflict between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan. At this time, the army must be dissatisfied and complained about Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong was a person trusted and promoted by the emperor Li Longji. The whole army will definitely be resentful towards Li Longji.
At this time, as long as Li Wang makes good use of this, he will definitely have the opportunity to seize power.
And if Prince Li Wang seizes power, what will he do next, and what attitude will Bai Yuxian have towards him? These Bai Yuxian also need to pay attention.
In this way, I took sisters Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuqing with me.
Bai Yuxian headed towards the direction where Li Longji's army fled.
Soon Bai Yuxian, together with sisters Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuqing, stood above the clouds and caught up with the fugitive emperor Li Longji's team.
At this time, the army led by Li Longji was still fleeing in a hurry, because they were worried that An Lushan would lead his army to catch up.
Therefore, the emperor Li Longji did not dare to stop along the way.
They fled like this for several days and nights, until Li Longji himself was exhausted from sitting in the carriage, so he stopped temporarily to rest in Maweipo.
The army stopped at Maweipo, and after explaining the arrangements to Yang Guozhong, Chen Xuanli, and Gao Lishi, Li Longji went directly to the post station to rest.
Today, Yang Guozhong, Chen Xuanli, and Gao Lishi are also the three people Li Longji trusts most.
The configuration of the three happened to be one civil, one military and one valet.
But what Li Longji didn't know was that at this moment, the entire army was already irritable and resentful.
Because Li Longji was too eager to escape this time, the army set off at short notice, resulting in no time to prepare food, grass, clothing, etc. It was the coldest month of winter again.
This resulted in the army being basically hungry and cold as the day and night passed.
Under such circumstances, how could the entire army not be resentful?
Even Chen Xuanli was criticizing Li Longji in his heart at this moment, and was especially resentful towards Yang Guozhong.
Chen Xuanli felt that the main reason why Datang was in its current situation was Yang Guozhong.
Because after Yang Guozhong took office, apart from flattery to please the emperor's dictatorship, he never did any other decent political affairs. The only two political affairs he did were both a mess.
Yang Guozhong did two political affairs after taking office.
The first thing he did was to attack the great Zuorong of Sumo Mohe, but the result was that the general sent by Yang Guozhong was defeated, and he and Anlu Mountain also had a grudge against each other.
The second thing is to clear out the Taiping Dao. However, the results are now seen. The Taiping Dao is so powerful that even the Duke of Jin, Bai Yuxian, cannot suppress it, resulting in the current confrontation in Shannan. If it were not for the Duke of Jin, Bai Yuxian, was If he is delayed, An Lushan may not dare to rebel easily.
It can be said that everything today is basically caused by Yang Guozhong.
If it hadn't been for Yang Guozhong, how could they have fled in such a hurry like lost dogs today.
Compare the situation when Li Linfu was in office, it was even more different in the sky and on the earth.
Although Li Linfu also has power, there is no doubt about Li Linfu's ability.
But what are you Yang Guozhong?
Chen Xuanli became more and more angry as he thought about it. He wanted to raise his hand and chop Yang Guozhong beside him with a sword.
Thinking again about whether Yang Guozhong or Li Longji single-handedly promoted and trusted him, Chen Xuanli couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Li Longji. He felt that Li Longji was really a little old and confused.
At this time, Yang Guozhong was completely unaware of the approaching danger and Chen Xuanli's dissatisfaction and murderous intention towards him.
After sending Li Longji off to rest, Yang Guozhong also separated from Chen Xuanli directly.
Looking at Yang Guozhong's leaving figure, Chen Xuanli couldn't help but have a cold light flash in his eyes.
At this moment.
"General Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something important to ask you to come over and discuss it with us."
A guard next to the prince came up to look at Chen Xuanli and cupped his hands.
Prince.
Chen Xuanli's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, wondering what the prince wanted to do with him at this time, but he still nodded.
"good."
Not long after, Chen Xuanli came to Prince Li Wang.
After arriving at Li Wang's side, Chen Xuanli discovered that not only him, but also Wu Siwen, commander of the Royal Forest Army, and Li Shengkai, commander of the Royal Forest Army, were also there.
In addition, he is the commander of the Longwu Army and the commander of the Prince Li Wangtian Ce Army.
In this way, the four of them added together would be the top commanders of the four armies of Beiya.
The current entire army is headed by their Beiya Fourth Army, which totals 160,000 troops. The remaining left and right prison guards, left and right Qianniu guards, etc. add up to only more than 10,000 people.
If the four of them join forces to do something in this situation, then absolutely no one in the current army can stop them.
What is the prince going to do!
With years of political acumen, Chen Xuanli instantly and instinctively smelled something unusual.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chen Xuanli remained calm on the surface and stepped forward to salute Li Wang.
"General Chen, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and talk."
Li Wang warmly greeted Chen Xuanli to sit down.
"Brother Wu, Brother Li."
Chen Xuanli said hello to Wu Siwen and Li Shengkai again.
"Brother Chen."
The two of them also returned the favor to Chen Xuanli, and the three of them were considered old acquaintances.
After greeting each other in this way, Prince Li Wang first asked his cronies behind him to look at the surroundings, and then looked at Chen Xuanli and the others.
"Now that the three generals are here, Nawang will get straight to the point. I thought about how glorious the Tang Dynasty was for many years and how glorious the Kaiyuan Dynasty was. But now, since the fifth year of Tianbao, in just five years, we have fallen to this. Even the eastern and western capitals were captured by rebels, which is simply a great shame and humiliation."
"I hope that although the continuous natural disasters over the years are one of the reasons for the decline of the Tang Dynasty to this day, the main reason is man-made disasters, such as the treacherous minister Yang Guozhong."
"Yang Guozhong is a man who is flattering, dictatorial, suppresses the loyal, excludes the worthy, and is incompetent in governance. Since he became prime minister, he has made no achievements in political affairs. Instead, he has continued to exclude dissidents for the sake of dictatorship and does not engage in political affairs, causing the people of the world to live in dire straits. Complaints abound.”
"Today our Tang Dynasty has fallen to this point, and Yang Guozhong accounts for at least half of it."
"I hope that if Yang Guozhong is not eliminated, our Tang Dynasty will never have peace."
