Three days later, Emperor Li Yan finally arrived at Huguan with his main force.

"Your Majesty, I finally see you again." Xue Ping was so excited that he held the shaft of the car and looked at Li Yan with a sick face in the car, almost crying.

"Xue Qing, it's you!" Li Yan also smiled. During this period, except for Tian Lingzi who had been with him, he had never seen a familiar face again. At this time, he suddenly saw Xue Ping and felt very happy. He forced himself to get up, and with Xue Ping's support, he got off the carriage.

"Is this Huguan?" He raised his eyes and looked at Huguan. "I have heard that Huguan is dangerous, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

Xue Ping nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Huguan is dangerous and must be guarded by Luzhou. One man blocks the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. This will allow Your Majesty to rest here for a while."

"Since it is such an important place, why are we taken down in one fell swoop?" Li Yan asked. For him, of course, the earlier he arrived at Wuyi, the better. No matter how dangerous Huguan was, there were only three or two big cats and two kittens, and they were still surrounded by the enemy. Only when he arrived at Wuyi could he feel safe.

"Your Majesty, although you are rebels and rebellious, there are many loyal ministers. Su Qun, you have come to see Your Majesty." Xue Ping said with a smile. "Your Majesty, Su Qun was originally an old subordinate of his father. Zhaoyi was in chaos. He was not willing to endure it until the critical moment. He then fought and mastered Huguan. If Su Qun had not cooperated with the general's wife and killed Huguan guard Tian Ji, we would have no way to take Huguan."

Su Qun, whose hair and beard were all gray, really didn't expect that he would have the chance to see His Majesty the Emperor in his life. He knelt on the ground at a loss and knocked several times: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty."

Li Yan reached out and helped the veteran up and sighed: "The wind knows the strong grass, the swaying of the swaying of the heroes, General Su, thank you for your hard work."

"It is the honor of the last general to serve Your Majesty. Even if Your Majesty rests in Huguan, even if the last general is crushed to pieces, he will keep His Majesty safe." Su Qun said passionately.

"Okay, okay, with someone like you, why worry about the Tang Dynasty being reborn from the ashes." A layer of blush appeared on Li Yan's face: "Where is Su Qing's position now?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I am now the General Guidelang." Su Qun said.

General Guidelang, from the fifth rank, had just stepped into the general's threshold from the lieutenant. Su Qun's beard and hair turned white, and he had just become a general Guidelang. At this time, the emperor couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he asked.

"Su Qing is loyal and loyal. This position is really aggrieved you." Li Yan shook his head and said, "From today, Su Qing will be General Dingyuan. The Minister of the Secretariat. Please register. Although the formal appointment process cannot be carried out at present, I will issue an order to sign your Secretariat. Xue Qing was originally the Minister of the Yellow Sect and can also endorse the letter."

"Abide by the order!" Tian Lingzi and Xue Ping both bowed and accepted the order.

Su Qun was very excited. His son said it was indeed good. As long as he saw the emperor, the future would be smooth. It was just a switch that welcomed the emperor in, and he jumped from Guidelang to level three in a row.

"Your Majesty, the last general has already cleaned up the best house in the pass. The environment is elegant and you are leaning against the mountains and rivers. Where can you rest?"

"I am really tired too." Li Yan nodded, looking at Tian Lingzi, Xue Ping, Liu Ruyan, Gongsun Changming and others: "We will have to worry about military affairs."

Su Qun brought Tian Lingzi and others to the front and back, embracing the emperor, empress, prince, and wife Wang, and his party to rest, but the remaining generals gathered in the palace of the generals in Huguan.

The one with the highest official position here is Xue Ping, and the one with the most noble status is Liu Ruyan, but these two people are not particularly good at military strategy. Although Xue Ping came from a military family, he did not experience much. Liu Ruyan charged forward and killed generals and seized flags, and was like taking things out of his bag, but he was not the director of commanding the army to fight. However, Li Hai, Chen Bing, Chu Sheng and others did not have enough status.

Naturally, such a group of people were centered on Gongsun Changming.

Gongsun Changming did not refuse, and looked at the people present and said, "Everyone, if the biggest difficulty we came from Chang'an before was the march, then we will face real difficulties and obstacles. At this time, I believe everyone understands that Huguan will become the center of the entire Luzhou next, and the war will also break out around Huguan. We are located at the center of the battlefield, and there will only be enemies around. We need to stick to the end until the commander of Jie to lead the troops to defeat the enemy."

Li Hai had a worried look on his face, and it was not for him to be so worried. At this moment, Zhu Youzhen led tens of thousands of troops to chase him, and the Wei Bozhaoyi coalition under Tian Ping's command was close to them. Huguan and Luzhou City were close to each other. Tian Yue gathered 50,000 or 60,000 troops inside and outside Luzhou City, and he might also pounce on him at any time.

And how many people will Wuwei dispatch?

As if he saw Li Hai's concerns, Gongsun Changming said: "Everyone, this time, the general Jie joined forces with Hedong. Hedong's 20,000 troops were personally led by Han Qi and Li Cunzhong to attack from Tunliu. Wuwei sent 120,000 troops and launched an attack from Licheng. In addition, the general Jie also organized a cavalry unit of up to 20,000 people to conduct roundabout battles. Therefore, although this battle is indeed very dangerous for us, as long as we are united and guard Huguan, it will not take long. On the battlefield, I will definitely be the world of Wuwei."

Not to mention Li Hai, it was the first time that Chen Bing and Chu Sheng heard this information.

It's almost 200,000 troops!

In Luzhou, the power comparison between the enemy and us was completely reversed. In other words, as long as they withstand the first period of time, there was nothing to worry about.

"Li Hai, you lead three thousand Shen Ce troops to set up camps in Baigu Mountain to the north."

"Chen Bing, you lead three thousand Niuwei to set up a camp in Shuanglong Mountain to the south."

"Abide by the order!" Li Hai and Chen Bing both stood up and held their fists to take the order.

"The camp must be built into a permanent and solid camp. You can recruit everyone in Huguan. The faster the speed, the better." Gongsun Changming said: "If you guard Huguan alone, you will inevitably tie your hands and feet. If you guard Baigu Mountain to the north and Shuanglong Mountain to the south, we will have more room for maneuver."

"yes!"

"Shisan Xue, you must be the one who guards Huguan. Tu Hu and Su Qun are the deputy." Gongsun Changming looked at Xue Ping and smiled.

"You should strive forward bravely." Xue Ping looked serious and bowed his hand to take the order.

"Where is me?" Liu Ruyan looked at Gongsun Changming and asked.

"Madam, it's not enough to defend the city but defend it. When necessary, you still have to counterattack. The leader of the counterattack must be the best of the three armies. Otherwise, if you go out of the city and fight back, it will hurt the morale of the city." Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "I asked my wife to lead hundreds of brave men to go out of the city to fight back when necessary."

"That's great!" Liu Ruyan immediately smiled and said, "But when I'm fine, I can stay on the city tower and help Mr. Xue guard the city. Don't worry, Mr. Gongsun, I just want to kill the enemy and will never cause trouble to others."

"Then there is Mrs. Lau." Gongsun Changming originally wanted to refuse, but Xue Ping snatched his gratitude. He knew that Liu Ruyan's skill was probably the strongest among everyone present. It was rare that Liu Ruyan was willing to help, so how could he refuse? He knew the meaning of Gongsun Changming's desire to take care of Liu Ruyan, but at this time, Xue Ping would not care whose wife Liu Ruyan was. Only by doing his best can he do it.

"Then let's move immediately. It's said that every inch of time is worth every inch. Now for us, it can be said that every inch of time is worth a life. The camps in the north and south mountains are about to be built, and the city needs to be counted and the equipment is arranged in the city. Each of them will be in their own position and their own affairs!" Gongsun Changming waved.

The entire Huguan became busy at an unprecedented speed. From officials to ordinary people, they were mobilized and joined the work of building the city wall and building two camps in the north and south. Except for the people around the emperor who did not move, all the guards of Tian Lingzi's family were conscripted to work.

"Xue Jian, Pei Renqing has indeed had the idea of ​​anything?" Standing on Huguan and looking at Xue Ping, Gongsun Changming asked.

"These two people didn't have much ambition at first, they were just forced to rebel by my second uncle." Xue Ping sighed: "Xingzhou was defeated, and then Shi Zhuang took Mingzhou and Beizhou. The two of them became almost a loser and fell into great decline. The two of them combined only had a few thousand soldiers and were not valued even under Tian Ping's command. At the moment, they could still believe it."

"Where is Tian Ping? Can they convince?"

"It depends on how the battle develops!" Xue Ping smiled and said, "If Wuwei in Hedong had a winning streak of victory in a row with a devastating momentum, Tian Ping would definitely move. I threw a bait over and as long as he bit it, Wei Bo would fall apart for ten days."

Gongsun Changming nodded in satisfaction.

"As long as Wei Bo is in chaos, Zhu Youzhen will be unable to escape."

"It's a pity that my fourth uncle still has a strong army in his hand, but he must stand on Zhu Wen's side." Xue Ping smiled bitterly.

"Understand what Xue Xiong thinks is normal. Since you are on Wuwei's side, he will naturally have to stand on Zhu Wen's side. This is to consider the long-term view of your Xue clan. Bet on both sides, no matter who wins, the Xue clan will not perish because of this."

Xue Ping was furious: "Mr. Xue never bets."

Gongsun Changming smiled and bowed: "Gongsun understands the loyalty of Mr. Xue, he has lost his words, and he has lost his words."

Just as Huguan was doing his best to prepare for the war, another army in Zhaoyi area was fleeing everywhere in a mess, fighting with Zhu Youzhen's subordinates to their best efforts.

This army came from Tongguan and was led by Qin Zhao from the Imperial Guards.
