Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3645

Fang Jun's team Cen Changqian and others said: "The reason why this commander came here is not to come to rescue, General Xin Mao and Wang Fangyi have just left Xuanwu Gate for two days, and this commander is not a god. I just rushed to Luoyang in the name of His Royal Highness, so it was just the right time for the meeting."

Cen Changqian's heart moved, and she asked, "But you're going to persuade Mr. England?"

Although he escaped into the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, he was often chased by the rebels, and battles broke out from time to time, and many were captured, so he knew the situation in Chang'an well.Hearing that Fang Jun was about to rush to Luoyang, after a little thought, he understood his purpose.

Fang Jun took a sip of hot water, nodded and said, "That's right, but the journey is too difficult and dangerous, and most of the students are injured and have difficulty moving, and it is difficult to follow the commander. Therefore, after dawn, it will be up to you and Xin Mao. General and Wang Fangyi will lead the students to take a detour and return to Xuanwumen. Along the way, they have to hide themselves, it doesn’t matter if they are slower, the most important thing is to ensure safety.”

Instead, Cen Changqian wanted to go to Luoyang with Fang Jun. Going to persuade Li Ji, the British minister, would most likely have a profound impact on the current situation. Being able to participate in it would not only be regarded as his own achievement, but also to increase his knowledge and improve his ability.

But looking at the classmates behind them who were tortured by starvation and severe cold, and were chased and killed by the rebels, they were all bruised and bruised. They could only sigh and give up this good opportunity, saying respectfully, "Don't worry, Duke Yue, students must be careful. , take the classmates back."

Wang Fangyi interjected: "Commander, the rebels must have known at this moment that the students have been rescued, and it is imperative to return to Xuanwumen, so they have set up checkpoints in various key passes to besiege and block. If we still return to Xuanwumen, the risk is extremely high. It’s better to change the route, cross the Weishui by detour, go all the way north to Jingyang, go to Li Yifu, and then wait for the opportunity to return to Xuanwumen after rectification.”

Fang Jun thought for a while and said, "That's very good."

Returning to Xuanwumen from here, the path has been known by the rebels, and trying to avoid the siege and blocking of the rebels is like going to the sky.But if they go to Jingyang, it may be beyond the expectations of the rebels. As long as they arrive in Jingyang, with the cunning of Li Yifu, they will be able to protect these students who have suffered from disaster.

It's just like this, I have to give Li Yifu a credit... It's a pity that the current situation is like this. Anyone who has a little use must be used to the best of their ability. Unite all forces that can be united. You can't exclude and suppress Li Yifu just because of your own fears. .

After all, he himself knew that this fellow would be a traitor in the future, but others did not have the ability to "predict the future", but seeing him recklessly suppressing the "honest and conscientious" Li Yifu made him feel uneasy, which led to the fact that among the East Palace camp Some people live with this...

After all things were agreed, they rested separately, and all the scouts were released to closely investigate the situation within more than ten miles around, and beware of the rebels who had fled and gathered a large army to come to encircle and suppress them.

As a result, all the worries did not happen, and nothing happened overnight until dawn.

The large army stayed in the mountains, near Shenheyuan, and naturally did not dare to live in order to avoid the smoke being detected by the enemy, so the whole army simply ate dry food, and the soldiers were divided into two groups.Fang Jun continued on the road with three hundred personal soldiers, while Cen Changqian, Wang Fangyi, Xin Maojiang and others led more than four hundred academy students on their way home, detouring to Hu County and crossing the Wei River before heading to Jingyang.

……

In the early morning, the foot of Zhongnan Mountain was covered with snow and ice. Even if there was no wind, it was still icy cold. White air spit out from the nose and mouth between the people and horses.This place is far away from Shenheyuan. To the south is the lofty and winding Zhongnan Mountain, and to the north is a dense water network interwoven by rivers such as Bashui, Chanshui, and Lishui. The hills are densely covered, and it is not easy for a large army to march, so even if the whereabouts are leaked, there is no risk of being chased by large-scale rebels.

I ran for dozens of miles in one breath, and then the south of Lantian folded along the terrain and turned east. Immediately, I felt that the light suddenly dimmed and entered the Bashui River Valley. The mountains on both sides were towering and dense forests were everywhere, and the road became a sheep beside the riverbed. Although most of the intestinal trails are paved with bluestone, the turning points are often narrow and slippery. The horses will fall over if they are not careful, so they can only dismount and lead the horses forward.

When the sun sets and the light in the valley is even darker, the army finds a spacious place to camp beside the riverbed.The soldiers gathered their war horses in one place and fed them with fodder, while the rest set up tents, made fires and made meals.

When fetching water, they even caught a few large grass carp weighing six or seven kilograms. They were gutted by the Huotou Army. After a pot full of them, Fang Jun and a few personal soldiers ate them with hot rice. Had a hearty meal.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was dark, the Huotou Army made a fire and made a meal. After the whole army had eaten breakfast, they checked their equipment, and when the sky was slightly translucent, they set off.

All the way through the Bashui River Valley and over the Qinling Mountains, the road was extremely difficult. Fang Jun was full of emotion when he passed Lantian Pass. He watched the snow-capped mist between the mountains, and the road ahead was vast and rugged. , the snow embraces the blue, and the horses are not moving forward." I felt the resentment and confusion of Han Yu when he was relegated to this place in the South of the Five Ridges...

In this way, after walking in the river valley for five days, Fang Jun let out a long sigh when the scout reported that the front had arrived in Shangluo.

This ancient business-to-business road is extremely difficult to walk, but there are often scattered merchants passing through on the road. This road is known as the "throat of Qin and Chu". Therefore, during the Chang'an War, there were few merchants. In normal times, the caravans would pass through in an endless stream.

Fang Jun not only sighed that "business on the ancient road" is so difficult to do, then what kind of ravines, dangerous and difficult to travel on the Shu Road, which is known as "difficult to go to the blue sky"?
Passing Shangluo and going straight to the southeast, you can go straight to Nanyang and Jingxiang, and from Shangluo to the northeast, you can pass Luonan and other counties and go straight to Luoyang.

Fang Jun walked exactly this way.

Although this section of the road still travels through the valleys and ravines, it is much smoother than the previous section. There are also significantly more merchants on the road. There are many post stations, taverns, and hostels along the way. It is no longer as hard as before, so the speed naturally increases. .

Seven days later, he finally walked out of the Mangmang Mountains and arrived at Yongning County, which is south of Laoshan Mountain and by the Luoshui River. This place was already under the rule of Luoyang.

Fang Jun did not stop in Yongning County but continued on his way. In the evening, he stayed at Sanxiangkou at the beginning of the intersection of Luoshui and Lianshui.After finding a flat area near the river to set up the camp, Fang Jun personally took dozens of personal soldiers to the market in Sanxiangkou to buy food. After returning to the camp, he had dinner and took a rest.

Fang Jun fell asleep in a daze inside the tent, and was suddenly alarmed by footsteps. He opened his eyes and heard the scout reporting from outside the tent: "A large group of soldiers and horses has arrived at Sanxiangkou, there are more than a thousand people, and the movement is unknown. , please make a decision."

Fang Jun got up quickly, grabbed the horizontal knife beside him, got out of the tent, stared at the scout and said, "Look and report again!"

"Here!"

The scout turned and ran away, sinking into the darkness.

The entire camp has been alerted, and the soldiers climbed up without orders. Wei Ying came to ask: "Are you packing?"

Fang Jun thought for a while, and said, "This place is approaching Luoyang, and I don't know what the British public's attitude is. We can't be careless and let the brothers pack their luggage and respond at any time."

"Here!"

Wei Ying conveyed the order down, and the personal soldiers did not say a word, quickly put away their tents, sorted out their luggage, and then all led their horses and waited in the dark.

After a long while, another scout returned, came to Fang Jun, and reported: "Commander Qi, I have already heard and understood that this group of soldiers and horses are all soldiers of the Zuowu Guards, and Lu Guogong personally led the team and escorted the eldest grandson. Anye!"

"Changsun Anye?" Fang Jun touched his chin, confused.

Changsun Anye wanted to rebel at the time. Although he was saved from death, he was exiled to Lingnan and was recalled by Changsun Wuji only a few years ago. The prince was very dissatisfied with this, but he rebelled in Guanlong not long after.Changsun Anye can be regarded as a person whom Changsun Wuji holds in high regard, otherwise he would not be forcibly recalled to Chang'an regardless of the court's decree before the mutiny, but this is very, Changsun Anye is not assisting Changsun Wuji in Chang'an City, why? Coming to Luoyang?
Just thinking about it for a while, I figured out the cause and effect. I think the eldest grandson Wuji is like the East Palace, and he is very jealous of Li Ji. He watched his performance of leading troops outside to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. He thought there was an opportunity to win over, so he dispatched him. Changsun Anye came.
