The 265th Imperial Controversy

Since the victory of the Anshi rebels in the Battle of Yecheng, Shi Siming successfully returned to Fanyang, and his strength in this battle has been further expanded, and the king of this treacherous beast saw that this Shi Siming was brave and resourceful and a handsome talent, so he personally came to Fanyang to help him become the emperor, support his development, and complete his hegemony in recovering the Central Plains theater. In order to get rid of An Qingxu, he planned a very careful capture plan, arranged everything in Fanyang, waited for An Qingxu's return, so that he could attack him unprepared, capture and kill him in one fell swoop, and proclaimed himself emperor.

After Shi Siming successfully returned to Fanyang City, he invited An Qingxu to come to Fanyang City to discuss the next anti-Tang battle plan, expressing his loyalty to him, explaining that he was forced to surrender to the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, and was monitored by Cheng Yuanzhen, and he killed the spies around him. Seeing Shi Siming's words, An Qingxu was unguarded, so he took Qianyou and other generals to Fanyang City to discuss the next step of the anti-Tang cause with Shi Siming.

In this way, they personally commanded 5,000 men and horses to come to Fanyang City, but after the army came to Fanyang City, Shi Siming did not let the army enter the city, but let An Qingxu, Urging Qianyou and other more than a dozen generals to enter the city, the army is stationed outside, so An Qingxu is not too suspicious, because Shi Siming has more than 100,000 horses in his hands, once he fights, the official army will besiege Luoyang City on the whole line, and then the Great Yan Kingdom will no longer exist, thinking about it again and again An Qingxu led more than a dozen generals to urge Qianyou to enter the city together, but as soon as they walked into the city, the city gate was closed, An Qingxu came to the Fanyang Mansion with his generals, and when he opened his eyes, Shi Siming was already sitting in the hall, and he shouted: " Presumptuous, bold", at this time, a thousand knives and axes besieged from both sides, Shi Siming shouted, take down the person who killed his father, Li Guiren did not say a word, and killed An Qingxu, this urged Qianyou to see Li Guiren killed, he held a big knife and fought with him, the two fought together for hundreds of rounds, and Qianyou was finally killed by random arrows, and a generation of rebel generals died in infighting.

After urging Qianyou to die, An Qingxu was unconvinced, so he asked Shi Siming why he wanted to kill me, at this time, Shi Siming brought Li Zhu'er over, this Li Zhu'er was captured by the Beast King from Luoyang City, to assist Shi Siming out of An Qingxu's preparations, Li Zhu'er was forced to say An Lushan's death clearly, so An Qingxu was stabbed to death by Shi Siming, and then told An Qingxu to kill his father to thousands of soldiers in his hands, after the soldiers learned the truth, no one was willing to help the beast to be the emperor, so they all surrendered to Shi Siming, after recruiting An Qingxu's old department, Shi Siming's total strength exceeded 300,000 people, and he was assisted by the Beast King, in Fanyang called the emperor, proclaimed himself the king of the Great Sage Zhou, to dominate the world, continue to fight a decisive battle against the official army, and then ordered the general Li Guiren to personally command 100,000 troops to march into Xiangzhou City, and Guo Ziyi's army to start a decisive battle, the battle for the emperor of Fanyang City finally ended in Shi Siming's complete victory, and the rebels counterattacked in a big way, and the momentum was even stronger.

Since the defeat of the Battle of Yecheng, the prince Li Heng thought deeply and let Guo Ziyi be in charge of the handsome seal, command the world's soldiers and horses, and continue to fight against the Anshi rebels, and later learned that this Shi Siming killed An Qingxu, continued to call himself the emperor in Fanyang, proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Zhou, and once again raised troops to crusade against the land of Xiangzhou, Li Heng ordered Guo Ziyi to dispatch troops and horses to fight Xiangzhou City again, and the arrogance of Shi Siming must be suppressed and the morale of the officers and soldiers must be reinvigorated.

This time, according to the analysis of the strength of the officers and troops from all walks of life, Guo Ziyi believed that the enemy general Li Guiren was the first fierce general in the hands of Shi Siming, and to deal with him, it was necessary to use the world-famous Tangshan Army, so he asked Marshal Liu Shengkui to discuss the next battle plan together.

Liu Shengkui knows the importance of the battle of Xiangzhou City, now the rebels in the hands of Shi Siming have captured Xiangzhou, Heyang, Huaizhou and other important military places, must all be recaptured, Liu Shengkui personally asked for the battle to attack Xiangzhou City, take this city as soon as possible, start a decisive battle with the rebels, and save the people of the world as soon as possible.

The enemy general Li Guiren who guarded Xiangzhou City saw the official army kill in a big way, without fear, personally commanded 100,000 troops to meet the enemy, the tiger beast king led 50,000 beast demons to help him, launched a comprehensive attack on the official army, the army of both sides launched a fierce battle in the plain mountains outside the city, from day to evening, the soldiers on both sides were very tired, then they retreated fifty miles to camp in the camp, the tiger beast king encountered a lot of immortal disciples in the daytime, the attack of the beast demon was blocked, the casualties were very large, he found Li Guiren to discuss the next combat method together, in such a desperate fight, the strength of the rebels is simply not enough, and other reinforcements from the official army will arrive sooner or later, can only find a quick solution, is the best way. So the next day, Li Guiren launched a comprehensive attack on the official army with the Tiger Beast King, and this time, Master Huaizhi subdued the demon around Xiangzhou City, and found a large number of evidence that the Tiger Beast King killed the people, and then tracked it all the way to Xiangzhou City, and saw that there were Tiger Beast Demons among the enemy army, so he led the apprentices to attack the Tiger Beast Demon, which made the soldiers in the hands of the Tiger Beast King suffer heavy casualties, and the official army once again got the help of Master Huaizhi, and fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one, so that Li Guiren suffered heavy losses in the battle outside the city, and finally in order to preserve his strength, he led more than 100,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat to the land of Heyang and abandoned Xiangzhou City, so the Tangshan Army and Li Guangbi's army recovered Xiangzhou City, the whole army continued to march towards Ha Duong.

Xiangzhou was defeated, this Li Guiren was a loss of soldiers, Shi Siming was a murderer, thinking that this Li Guiren did not sell his life in the war, so he let his son Shi Chaoyi lead the army of 100,000 to help Li Guiren, and when he went out, he also said: "I don't care who I am, as long as I don't sell my life in the war, even if my son should be killed, I will kill him, and I will not show mercy." After receiving the order of his father, Shi Chaoyi led the generals Zhou Zhi and Luo Yi to lead the troops to assist.

After Shi Chaoyi led his troops to Heyang, he followed Li Guiren here to open a position on the outskirts of Heyang City, which Li Guiren learned that Shi Siming was extremely dissatisfied with his performance, and he couldn't hold Heyang to meet him, knowing that he was the last chance, so he let this Tiger Beast King, Flying Tiger Beast King, The dragon and tiger beast king helped each other, and the three beast kings also knew that if they couldn't defeat the scriptures and the official army, the beast king couldn't let them go, and they were forced to a dead end by the scriptures and the officials and the army, only to fight to the death, there was no way out, so they mobilized all the main forces, with the strength of nearly 400,000 troops, in the periphery of Heyang City and the Tangshan army to open the formation, this time the strength of the two sides was compared to one, the enemy army had an army of 100,000 beasts and demons to help, and the Tangshan army had the help of the people who learned the scriptures, Xuantong six ears, golden silk king monkey, flying spirit monkey, The Golden Lion Dragon Monkey and the Heavenly Dragon Monkey have all changed into a group of monkey soldiers and monkey generals to help the Tangshan Army and Li Guangbi Army, and the Bailing Great Sage and the Snow Spirit Great Sage helped the Tangshan Army to lead the Heavenly Soldier Legion to help the Tangshan Army open the formation, Liu Shengkui, as the commander of the whole army, led the four hundred life and death brothers around him, and said loudly: "Brothers, soldiers, our Tangshan Army was born as a Tang general, died as a Tang soul, and died on the battlefield and returned the horse leather shroud. For the highest glory of our soldiers, for the soldiers to fight will die, the cowardly will die in life, we have to fight for the life and death of tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, today is the time for us to be loyal to the country and the people, the enemy is cruel to the loyalty, disaster to the country and the people, we are the loyal and righteous teachers of the Tang Dynasty, The majestic division, fight all over the world, are invincible, the Anshi rebels are already trying their best to survive, we must not be merciful under our hands, let them breathe again, the two armies fight bravely wins, for my Tang Dynasty prosperous country peace again, today must go through a war, a war will be decided, the battlefield for the country, with us and so on, drink this cup of Zhuangxing wine, and be brothers again in the next life. After hearing Liu Shengkui's words, the soldiers drank the Zhuangxing wine one by one, threw the 400,000 water bowls to the ground, and then rode on war horses and set out the whole army to launch a full-scale attack on the rebels.

The morale of the Tangshan army is flourishing, flying and killing, this time the Tiger Beast King with the two brothers in front of the Tangshan Army to perform the demon law, rolling up the hurricane wind to blow the official army, at this time, Master Huaizhi recited the Buddha body mantra to dissolve the demon law, so that the three demon beast kings had no choice but to fight to the death, they fought with these masters, Shi Chaoyi and this Li Guiren together mobilized 300,000 troops to fight to the death, the battle between the two sides was extremely tragic, the Flying Tiger Beast King showed his ability to fight with the masters, and finally after hundreds of rounds by the Tianshan Snow Monkey's thousands of bodies and thousands of magic skills to the death, he tried his best to not break free, let Master Huaizhi take it away。 The Tiger Beast King saw that the third brother was taken away by the demon monks, and his own casualties were huge, so he had to persuade Li Guiren to withdraw his army, this Heyang City could not be defended, there were people who learned scriptures and these high-ranking disciples were there, and defending the city was equivalent to sending them to death, after hearing these words, Li Guiren had to order a retreat to Huaizhou City, so Shi Chaoyi and Li Guiren were defeated and retreated to Huaizhou City.

After several battles on the periphery of Heyang City, the Tangshan army finally recaptured Heyang City, and then Liu Shengkui asked Marshal Li Guangbi to garrison the troops in Heyang City, and he personally led an army of 400,000 to continue to pursue the rebels with Master Huaizhi and march towards Huaizhou City.

The Tangshan army chased and killed at the foot of Huaizhou City, in the face of the powerful Tangshan Army, Shi Chaoyi had no countermeasures, this Huaizhou City is an important military location, must not be lost, if lost, the next step can only be to evacuate Shaanzhou, where he will fight with the rebel general Tian Chenghei, this is also his last move, if my father knows that he has failed in a row, he will definitely kill me, and his life will not be guaranteed at that time, what should I do? He made a mistake in his heart, at this time, the generals Zhou Zhi and Luo Yi around him persuaded him, don't do two things, just kill them, and get rid of future troubles forever, after hearing these words, Shi Chaoyi was scared into a cold sweat, he didn't want to be the same as An Qingxu, so he said to the two generals: "From now on, you will never be allowed to say such things again, the big battle is imminent, don't be distracted, think more about how to break the enemy, don't talk about it." This time Shi Chaoyi didn't listen, he and Li Guiren decided to defend Huaizhou City together, so they waited for the Tangshan Army to launch the Battle of Huaizhou City and launched a comprehensive attack on Huaizhou City. Hundreds of rounds of hard fighting, and finally trapped in the Tianxuan capture array by the high-ranking disciples, tried their best to be unable to break free and was taken away by Master Huaizhi, the tiger beast demon was finally wiped out in one fell swoop, Li Guiren and Shi Chaoyi fought to the death, and the general Zhou Zhi opened the south gate in order to save the two commanders, so he led the remnants of the defeated generals to put on makeup, put on the armor of the official army, and protected Shi Chaoyi and Li Guiren all the way to Shaanzhou, where he continued to defend Shaanzhou City with the rebel general Tian Chenghe, preparing for the final decisive battle with the Tangshan army.

Because Shi Chaoyi and Li Guiren encountered successive defeats of the Tangshan army, and successively lost Xiangzhou City, Heyang City, and Huaizhou City, Shi Siming had no choice but to give up the eastern capital Luoyang, retreat to Fanyang, continue to be the emperor in Fanyang, continue to be his dream emperor, and give his young son Shi Chaoqing as the crown prince, ready to conquer the world.

With the help of Master Huaizhi, the Tangshan army finally achieved three battles and three victories, recovered Huaizhou City, and continued to prepare for the next step to recover Shaanzhou City, and this beast king saw that the official army was getting stronger and stronger, in order to turn defeat into victory, he drew salary from the bottom of the kettle, so he adopted a strategy of disintegration within the official army, and after several observations and plans, he finally chose Yongwang Li Lan to help him rebel, laying the foundation for the beast demon to recover the Central Plains theater again. In this way, the battle between Li Heng and Li Ling's brothers began again, for details, continue below, King Yong rebelled.
