Xiaoguan is one of the four passes in Guanzhong. It is located in the Liupanshan Mountains that lie across the northwest of Guanzhong and serves as its northwest barrier. The main passages from Longshan to Guanzhong are the Wei River, Jing River and other rivers that pass through the low valleys cut into. The mountains in the Wei River are relatively steep, while the Jing River is relatively simple. Xiaoguan stands at the Liupanshan Pass under the danger, guarding the passage from the Jing River to enter Guanzhong.

Emperor Tang Li Yan and Li Heng and his group fled west. After a difficult three-day trip, they were about to arrive at the northwest pass of Guanzhong.

Li Yan was in a mess all the time, and there was no trace of the emperor's appearance.

"Jingzhong, I'm hungry!"

During these three days, Li Yan had to repeat such words almost every day.

The road to escape west was not smooth, not because of the enemy, but because of Li Yan's escape, which lost the face of the Tang Dynasty and made Guanzhong feel frightened.

The first stop for Li Yan to escape west was Liquan Palace in Xianyang County, but the officials in Liquan Palace heard that Li Yan had already run away, and they also took away all the valuable items stored in the palace.

No one greeted him or prepared food, so Li Yan could only ask the people around him.

The people in the capital are still relatively wealthy and contribute some rice mixed with wheat beans.

This kind of rice is indeed a delicacy for the people, but Li Yan was born in a delicate family and fed with big fish and meat. Even rice is a carefully selected fine grain. Where did he eat brown rice that the people had eaten?

Li Yan expressed his dissatisfaction on the spot, but as they got farther away from Chang'an, their supply problems became more serious.

Only then did Li Yan realize that brown rice was so delicious.

Li Yan didn't care about it. Even the emperor was hungry. What was the situation of the soldiers accompanying him?

He fled north and followed the imperial guards and was tired and hungry, and was in an extremely bad mood.

Li Jingzhong cursed in his heart. At this critical moment, he could find food. He endured his hunger and said, "Your Majesty, if you endure it, Xiao Guan is not far away in front of you. He has sent someone to inform the Shuofang Army to receive the troops. As long as he meets with the Shuofang Army, everything will be fine."

Li Yan was shocked and hurriedly said, "Hurry, then hurry up and arrive at Xiaoguan earlier."

This order was issued, and he was dissatisfied with the imperial guards and even more dissatisfied.

After arriving at Xiaoguan, Li Yan and his group met with Zhang Yuangui of Shuofang.

Zhang Yuangui enthusiastically arranged the meal.

Li Yan was so moved that he was almost crying, and directly promoted him to the governor of Shuofang.

After running all the way, Li Yan couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep after eating.

When he woke up by the noise, he was shocked to find that the surrounding area was actually shouting and killing.

Li Jingren rushed to the nearest crying and shouting, "No, Your Majesty, No, Shuofang Army, back!"

Li Yan was so scared that he couldn't say a word.

************

Guzang, Hexi.

No matter how chaotic the Central Plains or Guanzhong is, Hexi and Longyou are still as stable as rocks.

Pei is deeply rooted in Helong, covering the sky with one hand.

Under his governance, many wastelands in Helong were effectively developed. Although the Silk Road still needed economic support, life could maintain a self-sufficiency and not much affected.

Pei returned to Pei's mansion quietly. This time he came back, he only saw three people: Pei's mother, Jiao Chen and Gongsun You, and even his beloved son and daughter, never met.

Although Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are sensible, they are still young after all and have no scheming. As for the Pei family's mistress, it is even more so.

Their biggest advantage now is that Dongfang didn't know that the battlefield in the Western Regions had ended. The Longyou Army he drew was a surprise soldier, and an invincible surprise soldier.

For the victory of the Western War, Pei blocked his connection with the East, but before he cut off the severance, he concentrated all the news at the Wuwei County Prince's Mansion in Guzang.

As his status is higher, the more things he has to take care of, and Pei's control over details is much worse than before. Many things are left to people he trusts and then listen to a result.

After all, Pei Ziwen couldn't do anything like Zhuge Liang, and he didn't want to be like him who only had ideals and dreams in his eyes, and ignored other great men.

The original intelligence supervisor was Sun Zhou, and his loyalty was beyond doubt. He was too loyal, but he was let Li Linfu take advantage of it.

Pei couldn't bear to attack him, and thought of the contributions he had made over the years and transferred him to the West.

Pei returned the information network in his hand to Jiao Chen and Gongsun You again.

The two of them were the founders of the intelligence network: Jiao Chen used Azhu's identity to open a winery and teahouse in Chang'an, and the news about Gongsun You came from the Qingyu League.

But they are mothers and want to take care of their children with more thoughts. Pei didn't want his woman to be too tired, so he combined the two intelligences and gave them to Sun Zhou at the same time.

Now, it is a special time to return the intelligence network to them.

One of them has been living in brothels since childhood and has seen many intrigues. The other has traveled around the world since childhood, with rich experience, and tacit cooperation, and sorted out the information in an orderly manner.

Pei was also quite helpless when he saw what happened after he left Chang'an's Western Expedition.

There are many things that are really no wonder Li, Zhang Jiuling, Song and others. In this era when the ruler, minister, father and son are respected, Li Yan really wants to promote a rebellious minister like Ji Wen, and they have no choice.

It can only be blamed for Li Yan for being too unsatisfied, but...

Pei was a little surprised that Li Yan was still very dependent on him. He had clearly written books and persuaded him many times, but even if Li Yan didn't listen to him and believed him, he would not be indifferent.

He looked at it carefully and saw that the Shuofang Jiedushi An Sishun actually asked Ji Wen to torture him to the point of being destroyed. Wuming fled in vain and said angrily: "If this thief is not eliminated, it is difficult for heaven to tolerate it."

I looked patiently and saw the detailed reason for Li Zhan’s defeat, the reason for Wang Zhan’s defeat, and the reason for the fall of Tongguan, but I couldn’t even say a word.

He suddenly thought of a person: Li Jinglong, the God of War in the Ming Dynasty.

King Zhu Di of Yan raised an army to calm the crisis. Judging from the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di was a rebel, and Zhu Yun was the truth.

The Yan army and the people were not in love with each other and their strength was crushed by Jianwen, but Zhu Di succeeded.

Later generations joked that Zhu Di's greatest success was not the brave and war-hardened Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, nor was it the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao, who was wise and wise, Zhuge's black-clothed prime minister, but Li Jinglong, the god of war in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Jinglong served as the commander twice, commanding a total of 1.1 million troops, and completely crushing Zhu Di. As a result, he lost hundreds of thousands of troops in succession, directly destroying the great situation of Jianwen.

The situation facing the Tang Dynasty this time was almost the same, and the great situation was ruined.

Pei smiled bitterly, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

At this moment, Gongsun You walked into the study with a serious expression and said, "Langjun, Xiaoguan news came from Xiaoguan. Shuofang Army avenged An Sishun, launched a mutiny, killed Ji Wen, forced His Majesty to abdicate, and elected King Zhong Li Heng ascended the throne. Now Li Heng ascended the throne for Lingwu!"
