Chapter 444
"Yang Guozhong disturbed the imperial court, and I led an army of 20 to attack under the emperor's secret order!"
On the ninth day of November in the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan, who was also the governor of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong, mobilized a total of 15 troops under Tang Bing, Tongluo, Xi, Khitan, and Shiwei, and claimed 20 to the outside world. , to attack Yang Guozhong as an excuse to formally raise troops in Fanyang!
"kill!"
"kill!"
……
An Lushan, weighing more than 300 kilograms, was riding on a horse, holding the Abi sword high in his hand, and the 15 troops shouted and killed, and the Anshi Rebellion finally broke out!
In the history that Mi Xiaoxia knows, during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty had been in peace for a long time, and the people had never seen war for generations.So when he heard that Fan Yang raised his troops, he panicked instantly, and many towns were defeated without a fight.
In this world, one hundred and eight monsters were released in advance due to the mischief of Buddhism, and a Liangshan uprising took place.Although it caused a heavy blow to Datang, it can be regarded as an advance training, which is also a good thing in this respect.
But unfortunately, the whole of Hebei is under the jurisdiction of Anlu Mountain, so when he raised his troops, the resistance from all over the country was not strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the wind collapsed.
So in just a few days, An Lushan's army has captured many towns.
"Impossible, how could An Lushan rebel, this must be a rumor, deliberately slandering my loyal ministers!"
An Lushan raised troops, and Taiyuan and other towns that were attacked immediately drafted a memorial and sent it to Chang'an.At this time, Li Longji was sitting on the main hall, waving his hands vigorously, still not believing that An Lushan would rebel.
Next, An Lushan's army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and all places were attacked, and the memorials flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.Faced with so many memorials, everyone is saying that An Lushan rebelled.
It was not until November [-], that is, six days later, that Li Longji believed that An Lushan had really rebelled.
"How could this be? What is he dissatisfied with... Could it be that he wants to be emperor!"
Li Longji sat in the hall with a face full of astonishment, followed by anger and resentment.It took a while to react, and then quickly summoned Yang Guozhong to discuss countermeasures.
After some discussion, Chang'an finally responded.
Feng Changqing, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, was appointed concurrently as Fan Yang and Pinlu Jiedu envoy to defend Luoyang.Appoint the sixth son Rongwang Li Wan as the marshal, and the general of You Jinwu Gao Xianzhi as the deputy marshal, and recruit troops to march eastward!
At this time, the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty were all on the frontier, and it was difficult to rush back for a while.There was no way, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi could only temporarily recruit soldiers in Chang'an and Luoyang.But most of them are street children, with little combat experience and no time to train.
Leading such a group of recruits, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi faced An Lushan's tiger and wolf division.And the most important thing is that at this time, Yang Guozhong is sitting in the rear to dispatch.
In this way, the result can be imagined, and it is only a temporary obstacle to An Lushan. On December [-], An Lushan will attack Luoyang, Tokyo.
Li Wei, who stayed behind in Luoyang, and Lu Yi, the censor Zhongcheng, refused to surrender after being captured, and were beheaded by An Lushan with the Abi sword!Henan Yin Daxi Xun was frightened and surrendered to Anlu Mountain.
Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi led the remaining troops to retreat to Tongguan.
"Tongguan is dangerous. As long as we guard against it, it will be difficult for the rebels to conquer it!"
"That's right, the rebel army's battle lies in speed. As long as we persist in delaying the time, the will of the people and the support of all the troops, we will surely win in the end!"
After retreating to Tongguan, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi analyzed the situation and decided not to hold out.
As they expected, An Lushan wanted a quick victory and immediately launched a fierce offensive.But Tongguan has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and after several battles, it has not received any results.
"Damn Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi!"
In the rebel camp, An Lushan's eyes were red and he was furious.No matter what the reason was, he was rebelling after all, and what he was most afraid of was delaying time.At this time, being blocked from Tongguan, the longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be for him.
"Amitabha, general, don't worry, our people have already acted, and Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi's life is not long."
When the generals were silent, suddenly a great monk came out and told An Lushan with a smile.
"Oh, this way...haha, if it is true as the master said, that would be great!"
A few years ago, this monk suddenly came to An Lushan and helped An Lushan a lot, and there was nothing wrong with it.Hearing what he said at this time, An Lushan couldn't help but feel very happy.
At the same time, in Chang'an.
"Boldly Feng Changqing! Boldly Gao Xianzhi!"
Above the main hall, Li Longji snorted coldly and threw a secret melody on the ground.
This was sent by the Tongguan supervisor, who was an eunuch and eunuch, but he was very favored by Li Longji.In the secret memorial, it is said that Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi were passive and slack in the war, and the rebels were showing off their might, but the Tang army was sluggish and had no fighting spirit.
"Come on! I decree that Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi lose their law and lose their teachers, and they will be executed immediately!"
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, Li Longji made an order immediately.
The imperial decree flew out of Chang'an and was sent straight to Tongguan. Just like that, two rare loyal ministers and good generals were executed.
"Come on, pass the decree to Brother Shuhan, make him the deputy marshal of the army and horses, and lead an army of 20 to guard Tongguan!"
Kill Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, but the army cannot be without a commander for a day.Li Longji immediately decreed to appoint Ge Shuhan, the Jiedu envoy of Longyou.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Ge Shuhan is also a famous general of the generation, but at this time he is ill and is leading the order on the sickbed.Immediately after dragging his sick body, he can lead the army to Tongguan.
"General Feng, General Gao, you have died unjustly."
Analyzing the current situation, Ge Shuhan found that the best strategy is to hold on and delay.Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi did exactly this, but they were falsely accused and beheaded by the eunuch, thinking of this, Ge Shuhan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
But more than [-] rebels are out, so they can't care about sadness at this time.Ge Shuhan immediately ordered to strengthen the city, deepen the ravine, and fully guard against the enemy's attack.
In this way, still adopting the strategy of sticking to it, Ge Shuhan kept the main force of the rebels out of Tongguan.
The war was tense, and the time passed for a month and a half. In the second year, An Lushan suddenly made another big move.
"Master, do you think this is appropriate?"
"General, oh no, it's Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are ordered by the heavens. As the saying goes, what's wrong with doing your part?"
"Well, since the master said so, then do it, haha!"
On the first day of the first lunar month in the 15th year of Tianbao, An Lushan established himself as emperor in Luoyang, established the country Dayan, and changed Yuan Shengwu!
boom!
The news of An Lushan's proclaiming the emperor quickly spread all over the country, and the reactions of all parties were also mixed.But at this time, in the eyes of practitioners, it is not so simple.
"So domineering!"
Mi Xiaoxia stands on the cloud, looking at Chang'an.I saw the movement of the Tang Dynasty, making loud thunderous noises from time to time.
In the direction of Luoyang in the east, Qi Luck belonging to Dayan appeared, shaped like a pig dragon.With a ferocious face, the pig dragon roared at the real dragon in Chang'an.The real dragon is weak, and its momentum has been lowered again and again.
In this way, the fortune of the Great Tang Dynasty will be greatly reduced in an instant!
Seeing this, Mi Xiaoxia sneered, this must be the ghost of Buddhism.Let An Lushan become the emperor, and use this method to forcibly divide the fortune of the Tang Dynasty.
For mortals, financial power and the army represent the country, but for those who practice Taoism, it is luck.Only with the blessing of luck can a country exist.If there is no luck, no matter how strong the strength is, it is still a sandcastle on the beach, vulnerable to a single blow.
So at this time, the Anshi Rebellion, the wrestling between Taoism and Buddhism, is actually a competition for the luck of the country!
"We must protect Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi and the others!"
At the same time, seeing the decline of the Tang Dynasty's fortunes, the Taoist side was also in a panic.But fortunately, he calmed down quickly and knew what to do at this time.
Although An Lushan is proclaimed emperor, he is self-reliant after all, and his name is not justified.It is like a pig dragon, but it is not a real dragon. It can be king and hegemony, but it cannot be a real emperor.
And the most important thing is that this so-called Great Yan does not have such a national weapon as Wei Yin to carry luck.Although the weather is strong at this time, as long as it is touched a little, it will fall apart.
What Buddhism does at this time is actually a ruthless move.To put it bluntly, it is to use Anlu Mountain, let him pull Datang to perish together, and create a divided and chaotic world!
In this way, they will slowly find the real dragon and establish their Buddhist dynasty.
"Don't think about it!"
Daoist masters can also see clearly that although the fortunes of the Great Tang Dynasty have declined, they have not yet reached the point of extinction.At this time, as long as these main generals are protected, the war will continue and there will be a turning point slowly.
With the secret assistance of Taoism, the development of the war has indeed begun to move forward.
The first is Ge Shuhan, who has been sticking to Tongguan and repelling the attacks of the rebels several times.On the one hand, it frustrates the spirit of the rebels, and on the other hand, it buys a lot of time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi led an army to attack the rebel general Shi Siming who was stationed in Hebei.After several victories in succession, they are marching towards Fan Yang, the old nest of Anlu Mountain!
If things go on like this, as long as there is another year or a half, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi will destroy the old nest of Anlu Mountain, and then attack Tongguan back and forth, and they will definitely be able to wipe out the rebels.
"Old fairy, you are here."
In the East Palace, Mi Xiaoxia suddenly appeared, and Li Heng rushed to meet him.
"How are you getting ready?"
"How did you prepare for what?"
Li Heng blinked his eyes, not knowing what Mi Xiaoxia was referring to.
"I mean Chen Xuanli!"
Mi Xiaoxia's face darkened, and he glared at Li Heng.
"Oh, so it turned out that this is the matter. Through my confidant eunuch Li Fuguo, I have already won over Chen Xuanli."
Li Heng hurriedly reported, and looked at Mi Xiaoxia with some fear.
"That's good, tell your son Li Yu that you are ready to flee Chang'an at any time."
"Escape from Chang'an?"
Li Heng was startled, and looked at Mi Xiaoxia in disbelief.
"At this time, the war is going smoothly, and the rebels can't even pass through Tongguan, why are they fleeing..."
"I can't make it through... Huh, you just need to be prepared."
Mi Xiaoxia snorted coldly, then left the East Palace again.
Li Heng was at a loss, but since Mi Xiaoxia said so, he had to guard against it.Then he ordered someone to call Li Yu...
It was already May, and everything seemed to be going well.But Mi Xiaoxia, based on the history he knows, the war may soon take a turn for the worse, and a big event is about to happen again!
"The number of soldiers is less than four thousand, and they are all weak and unprepared..."
Above the court hall, Li Longji looked at the situation of the rebel army mentioned in the memorial, snorted softly and immediately ordered Ge Shuhan to leave Tongguan to recover Luoyang!
