"General Qi, I'm really not talking nonsense. Just now there was an eight-hundred-mile emergency call from ahead!"

The guard in black was extremely anxious and immediately bowed and handed over a secret letter.

Looking at the secret letter, the expressions of several palace guards all changed. Looking at each other, one of them immediately turned around and moved slightly,

"Eunuch Liu, please wake up Your Majesty! Something big has happened!"

Without it,

There is a special mark on this secret letter, it is eight hundred miles urgent, no one can fake it.

...

After a few sticks of incense, the palace was already brightly lit and a little noisy.

The eunuchs' voices preaching the imperial edict came one after another, breaking the originally calm and peaceful atmosphere.

royal study,

An Lushan paced back and forth impatiently and kept punching his hands.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

While muttering to himself, he couldn't help but look at the 800-mile expedited copy on the dragon case.

According to the letter, the army of the Dragon Kingdom began to attack the city at Zishi, using a magical and terrifying thing. The defenders suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to abandon the pass and flee to Tongguan.

In this way, how could An Lushan remain calm?

Before, he thought that Hangu Pass was a natural barrier. In addition, Dayan had already initially established a relationship with the Yinmen disciples. It was impossible for the Dragon Kingdom to capture Hangu Pass. There was even a chance for Dayan to counterattack the Dragon Kingdom. Who would have thought...

.The world changed overnight.

Hangu Pass is extremely important,

Once lost, Tongguan cannot be defended.

If Tongguan is lost, it will be equivalent to the Dragon Kingdom grabbing the throat to the Central Plains. Whether Chang'an can be saved is another matter.

"Your Majesty, please be patient!"

Seeing Anlu Mountain panicking, Fengchi, the master of Mount Xumi who came from outside the palace, whispered to persuade.

"Don't be impatient for a moment? How can I feel at ease with such a big event?"

An Lushan stared at Fengchi.

There is also a Fengchi one that says Hangu Pass is definitely fine.

"Your Majesty...Although there is an urgent call of 800 miles, it does not explain how Hangu Pass was lost! When the sun rises, I believe General An will have a more detailed battle report. Only then will we know where Hangu Pass is.

What happened! Only by understanding what happened over there can we try to deal with it."

Feng Chi hesitated for a moment and then spoke in a low voice.

Although he was also surprised, he didn't lose control yet.

Sometimes the more confused you are, the harder it is to make a decision.

"After dawn?"

An Lushan smiled bitterly,

"Could it be that the Dragon Kingdom's cavalry can withdraw from Hangu Pass after dawn?"

"Report!"

Just when Feng Chi was about to say something more, the voice of the ordering guard came from outside the imperial study room again.

"What's the matter?"

An Lushan arrived in front of the ordering guards in three steps.

"Your Majesty, news came from the scouts ahead. After Hangu Pass was breached by the Dragon Kingdom's army, General An Taiqing led his army to flee to Tongguan and was chased by the Dragon Kingdom's cavalry... Now they have fallen, and all 80,000 defenders have fallen.

They fell under the iron hooves of the Dragon Kingdom. Right now, tens of thousands of Dragon Kingdom’s cavalry have gone straight to Tongguan and are expected to arrive at Tongguan in one day!”

The guard didn't dare to raise his head at all.

"What? An Taiqing..."

Kick! Kick! Kick!

An Lushan's face instantly turned pale, and he took several steps back! If his father-in-law hadn't noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, he might have fallen to the ground.

The atmosphere in the entire Imperial Study Room also became deathly silent.

In the eyes of everyone, there was nothing but disbelief.

An Taiqing was the backbone of Heshuo's army and the number one military commander of Dayan. How could he be killed so easily?

"How could this happen... An Taiqing is an eighth-grade general..."

It was not until a long time later that An Lushan breathed a sigh of relief under the comfort of his courtiers.

"The 80,000-strong army...is just gone? Just gone!"

"Your Majesty, what the scout said... the generals in the Dragon Kingdom's army are all peak ninth-grade warriors."

Hou, who was standing by, ordered the guards to report again in a low voice.

"The peak of the ninth-grade warrior? The general is the peak of the ninth-grade warrior? Isn't he the master of Yibo Tower?"

This time, before An Lushan could speak, Feng Chi couldn't help but ask first.

No one knows better than him what it means to be a peak ninth-grade military commander.

"General Qizhen, probably not!"

The ordering guard shook his head slightly.

If it were the masters from Yibo Tower who were scouting ahead, they would definitely give special instructions.

"This...how do they..."

There was dead silence in the imperial study room again.

If those masters from Yibolou didn't take action, the Dragon Kingdom's cavalry would be like this. Wouldn't it be wrong if they took action again?

Until a long time passed,

An Lushan slowly came back to his senses and began to try to accept this reality.

"What should we do now? Is it still too late to lend a way to the Dragon Kingdom?"

Under the repeated blows, An Lushan looked a bit older than last night.

"Borrowing a way?"

All the ministers looked at each other.

"That's right, let's take advantage of the Dragon Kingdom... and let the Dragon Kingdom fight against the Great Liang!"

An Lushan said feebly, his face full of annoyance and regret.

At this moment, he finally understood why the ghost-faced counselor would flee to Tubo first after learning that he was unwilling to give the Dragon Kingdom a way. If he had listened to the ghost-faced counselor at that time, it would be Li Xuan, the king of the Great Liang Kingdom, who should be crying now, not himself.

But there is no regret medicine in the world!

Just face reality.

"Your Majesty...The King of the Dragon Kingdom is cruel by nature. With his nature, even if he gives them a way...I'm afraid..."

After a moment of silence, Fengchi stood up again.

"Then what should we do? Give up Tongguan?"

An Lushan muttered to himself with his eyes blank.

Since the Dragon Kingdom cavalry could easily capture Hangu Pass and kill An Taiqing and his 80,000 defenders, how could Tongguan be defended?

"Your Majesty, maybe there is still a chance!"

Feng Chi hesitated for a moment, then bowed.

"Is there any chance? What chance?"

An Lushan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly looked towards Fengchi.

"Your Majesty can transfer the hundreds of thousands of cavalry stationed in Qinzhou to Tongguan and ask for help from Yinmen. As long as Yinmen takes action, what if the Dragon Kingdom army has mysterious objects and ninth-grade peak generals? It will definitely be able to defend Tongguan! Tongguan can't

Just leave me and Dayan will be fine!"

"Transfer the Qinzhou army to Tongguan? What should we do at the west entrance of Yanzhou?"

An Lushan frowned and shook his head.

Qinzhou is the west entrance of Great Yan. Without the garrison, the rear area will be exposed to Tibet and Great Liang, which is really dangerous.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Da Liang and I, Dayan, are on good terms and will definitely not interfere at this time. Although Tubo is eyeing it with eager eyes, it is extremely afraid of the Dragon Kingdom, and they do not want the Dragon Kingdom to be their neighbor."

Fengchi gave his reasons.

"Then...will they agree to the Yin Sect? We only gave the household registration list before, and the relationship is not stable. Moreover, the Yin Sect is arrogant and looks down on the secular country at all... Besides, the Yin Sect disciples come and go without a trace.

Even if we have such thoughts, where can we find them?"

After listening to the analysis, An Lushan was a little moved.

"Your Majesty, although the Yinmen are arrogant, they are not unworldly. As long as they are given enough benefits, they will always be tempted. As for where to find the disciples of the Yinmen... I have my own way."
