Chapter 393 Swallow mountains and rivers like a tiger!
In the school grounds outside Luoyang City, the red sun hangs high.Although the wind in late spring and early summer was warm, the soldiers of the army standing on the school grounds were still solemn and murderous.

The most notable feature of the army under Zhang Xuan's bid is strict military discipline and unified orders.Since Zhang Xuan began to organize the army in Fan Longshuo, he has focused on military discipline and orders, and has worked hard.After hard work and tempering in actual combat, the army was finally polished into an iron army.

For the military, military discipline is the lifeline.Strict military discipline will produce strong cohesion and combat effectiveness.This is one of the key factors for Zhang Xuan to win the battle. Of course, strategy is also very important.

Boom boom boom!
The loud and solemn army drums sounded, and Zhang Xuan led the generals into the school grounds in a bright armor.

The sound of the drums became more intensive, and the eager eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers were all focused on Zhang Xuan alone.

Zhang Xuan galloped over and boarded the Dianjiang platform, standing with his head held high in front of the soldiers of the three armies, with a solemn look on his face.

Guo Ziyi, Pugu Huai'en and other generals are on his left side.And on his right side were Li Yu who was frightened and Li Guangbi who was frowning.

Neither Li Yu nor Li Guangbi understood what Zhang Xuan wanted to do when he suddenly beat the drums and gathered the soldiers of the three armies.However, from a common sense point of view, this should not be a good thing for the two of them.

Li Yu felt anxious and anxious, although he was very reluctant, he was still brought to the school grounds by Zhang Xuan's soldiers.As for Li Guangbi, he also couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Xuan's gourd.

Is Zhang Xuan going to rebel immediately?Li Guangbi frowned even tighter, and gradually felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand abruptly.

The snare drum suddenly stopped.

Zhang Xuan looked around at the soldiers of the three armed forces under the stage, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Boys, the commander-in-chief gathered here today, I have a few words to say!"

"This commander has been in Longshuo since the Tianbao period, and he has worked together with his sons and daughters through thick and thin. Whether it is fighting against Tubo or King Qin's rebellion, he has repeatedly made military exploits on the bloody battlefield... Wherever my Longshuo army came, we were invincible. The rebels were terrified. Great reputation!"

"This is not the merit of this commander alone, let alone the glory of this commander alone. It is the common glory and unrivaled feat of all soldiers of our army!"

"Boys, tell me, isn't that the case?!"

Zhang Xuan's clear and sonorous voice echoed on the school field, almost at the same time, tens of thousands of soldiers immediately burst into thunderous shouts: "The commander is mighty, our army is mighty!"

The spears and knives waved and collided in mid-air, making agitated and heart-shattering sound waves.

Li Yu and Li Guangbi looked at each other, the shouts of the tens of thousands of troops below the stage roared and roared in their ears, and the overwhelming strength and momentum occupied their minds.

After all, Li Yu is the prince who is well-clothed and well-fed. He has never seen such a big scene of swallowing mountains and rivers like a tiger. Guessing Zhang Xuan's "good intentions", Li Yu's face was pale, his legs were weak, and he did not collapse. land.

And Li Guangbi's face was gloomy. For this sake, he had no way to escape, but secretly prayed that Zhang Xuan would give him some more time.

"Follow the commander-in-chief and make great achievements!" In the audience, a young general who straddled the horse and stood in the front took the lead in shouting, and immediately evoked another impassioned cheer like a thunderstorm in nine days.

Pugu Huai'en secretly exchanged a look with Guo Ziyi.

No one can stop the army's will!As long as Zhang Xuan gives an order, the army will immediately change its course, start from Luoyang, return to Chang'an first, destroy the Tang court, and then support Zhang Xuan as emperor.The change of dynasty is in an instant.

Pugu Huai'en, Guo Ziyi and the generals had reached a secret agreement long ago. This time, regardless of Zhang Xuan's rebellion, the generals should lead the soldiers of the three armies to add Zhang Xuan's dragon robe and push him to the throne!
Guo Ziyi secretly clenched her fists and made mental preparations.

"Report!"

With a powerful shout, the Shence Army Zuowei General Nan Jiyun led more than a hundred Shence Army cavalry into the school grounds. Nan Jiyun was holding a bloody head in his hand. It was An Qingxu who was dying.

In front of the general's platform, he got off his horse, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly, "I want to report to the commander, the traitor An Qingxu has been killed, please verify the head of the commander!"

Zhang Xuan leaned over and took a look, then waved his hands coldly and said, "Okay. Hang the heads of An Qingxu and others above the city gate of Luoyang, show them to the public for three days, and tell the army and the people!"

"The last general obeys!" Nan Jiyun immediately got up and returned to the ranks, and then ordered the soldiers to take An Qingxu's head to the city gate and hang it for public display.

Zhang Xuan stood proudly on the stage, and slowly turned his head to look at Li Yu and Li Guangbi.

The corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth curled up with a hint of contempt and disdain, and he said coldly, "Li Guangbi, this commander has beheaded the traitor An Qingxu for public display, are you convinced?"

The corner of Li Guangbi's mouth twitched, he was very angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to contradict him face to face.

"Of course, you can report to Your Majesty, and say that this commander killed An Qingxu, and charged this commander with disrespect." Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, and his voice suddenly rose an octave, "My lords, you Said that the traitor An Qingxu brought disaster to the country and the people, should he be killed?!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The forest of swords and guns reflected the cold light under the brilliant sunlight, and the sound of shouts of killing swept across the school grounds like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and an invisible murderous aura and military might shook the whole field.

In such an environment and atmosphere, Zhang Xuan is probably the only one who can keep his mind as calm as water.Even Guo Ziyi and Pugu Huai'en were passionate and couldn't help themselves.

Li Yu's legs were weak, his heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't control his nervousness anymore, his body swayed for a while, and he collapsed on the stage.

But Li Guangbi gritted his teeth and bowed his head in silence, but his heart was cold and desperate.

Zhang Xuan is going to rebel, there is no doubt that he will rebel!
The trace of luck in his heart dissipated in an instant, Li Guangbi regretted it, he shouldn't be so impulsive, he just gave Zhang Xuan an excuse, and hit Zhang Xuan's muzzle.

"Silence, silence!" Lei Wanchun straddled the horse in the audience, waving the Mo Dao, and shouted loudly.

Tens of thousands of soldiers gradually calmed down.

Zhang Xuan's voice suddenly became deep, and he said lightly, "Zhang will never forget the glory of the past. But now, it's time for Zhang to say goodbye to you. Today, His Majesty has ordered Zhang Somebody has stepped down from military power and returned to Beijing to report on his duties."

"If we bid farewell today, we may not see each other again in the future." Zhang Xuan sighed deeply, "I bid farewell to all of you here, everyone cherishes it!"

As soon as Zhang Xuan's words fell, the audience was silent and strangely silent.

But not long after, someone shouted angrily, "The commander-in-chief can't leave! Why did you seize the military power of the commander-in-chief? Why!"

"Yeah, why?"

"...If you want to let the commander-in-chief leave the army, brothers, we must not agree!"

"The emperor is fatuous, framed Zhongliang, and turned against his mother! Brothers, support the commander-in-chief as emperor, and build supreme glory together!"

"Reverse, reverse! Destroy that dog emperor, and support the commander-in-chief as emperor!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers became chaotic, and the order on the scene became chaotic.Numerous soldiers surged towards the general's platform desperately, and the leading general couldn't control the situation for a while.

Li Guangbi's face was pale.

If such a mutiny cannot be controlled, he and Li Yu will be the first to be unlucky.Maybe, he will die in the chaos.

********************************
Tongguan.

Zhang Tong led more than [-] members of the Habayashi Guard out of Tongguan and marched towards Hulao Pass.

"Brother Zhang, Hulao Pass is the throat from Hedong and Fanyang to Henan. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a place that must be contested by military strategists. The commander-in-chief attaches great importance to Hulao Pass. If you go to Brother Zhang, you will succeed in a battle. After taking down the Hulao, our army can attack Fan Yang when we advance, and defend Guanzhong in Henan when we retreat, and great things can be accomplished!" Feng Changqing clasped his fists and said loudly.

Zhang Tong replied immediately, "Don't worry, Commander Feng, Zhang will definitely not disgrace the Commander's mission. Besides, Yan Zhenqing from Hulao Pass..."

When Zhang Tong said this, he smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "Yan Zhenqing is a person who values ​​love, righteousness and kindness, and the commander-in-chief has a great kindness for him. It is impossible to say... Zhang can be stationed without spending a single soldier. The prison is closed."

Feng Changqing laughed, "I hope so, Brother Zhang, please go on the road!"

Yan Zhenqing did have the possibility of submitting to Zhang Xuan.But Yan Zhenqing was not Zhang Xuan's direct descendant. Feng Changqing, who was planning to join forces with Guo Ziyi and Pugu Huai'en to push Zhang Xuan to the throne, could not trust Yan Zhenqing.In order to control the situation in the future and prevent Fan Yang's rebels from attacking Henan and Guanzhong from Hulao Pass and disrupting major events, Feng Changqing discussed with Zhang Tong and decided to act first and firmly control Hulao Pass first.

This was an action Feng Changqing made without authorization.Later facts proved that Feng Changqing's move was extremely correct.

Hearing that Zhang Xuan was rebelling against the Tang Dynasty, Shi Siming of Fan Yang tried to fish in troubled waters to get a share of the pie, and led his army south to Henan, but was blocked at Hulao Pass.

……

Hexi, Liangzhou.

Ge Shuhan received Li Heng's edict to dispatch troops, and got all the news about Zhang Xuan from Tan Ma, he couldn't help sighing, and stood up slowly.

Ge Shuhan felt very sorry.Zhang Xuan could have become a generation of famous generals who have gone down in history throughout the ages, and a minister of pillars like Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, but due to a combination of circumstances, Zhang Xuan actually had to embark on the road of no return to break with the emperor and the court.

After the regret, there was deep solemnity—the battle between the emperor and Zhang Xuan was almost doomed to be a defeat!
Even though Ge Shuhan responded to the emperor's order and sent troops from Hexi to serve the king, but the current Hexi can't bring out too many soldiers and horses, and at the same time, he must guard against Tubo's aggression.The situation in Jiannan is basically the same, even more difficult than Hexi.Because An Sishun of Jiannan not only had to guard against Tubo but also Nanzhao.

As for Yang Qi in Anxi and Cheng Qianli in Beiting, firstly, they were too far away, and secondly, they lived in a barbarian land. If the main force was transferred back to the Central Plains, it would be difficult to guarantee that the barbarians they belonged to would not be dissatisfied.
