Thirty miles east of Xin'an, Cijian County stationed nearly 50,000 Yan troops, in recent days there have been routs fleeing back from the west, a few days of effort to collect more than 10,000 people. After Yin Ziqi, the commander of the Yan army, learned the news of the loss of Xin'an, he was shocked, although he had a conflict of interest with Ling Huchao, but he also knew that this person had some ability, how could he not even have time to ask for help and be defeated and lost?

"Is the Shenwu Army still comparable to the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals? Can you break through the Xin'an City Wall in one day?"

Even if Xin'an is an ordinary small county town, it would not be possible to break through it without ten days and eight days, but it only took one or two hours for the Shenwu Army to establish a victory, which is really incredible.

Yin Ziqi interrogated more than one general who escaped from Xin'an, and the answer he got was that the Shenwu Army was too powerful, and the Xiguan city wall in Xin'an collapsed inexplicably, otherwise the 30,000 horses would not have been beaten and had no power to fight back.

"Even if the heavenly soldiers and generals are like this, although the rammed earth wall is not high, it is also as hard as iron, it will collapse when it is said to collapse, hundreds of robes have no time to dodge, or are directly buried, or are stoned to death, the tragic situation is unbearable to witness, I can't bear to recall, if I don't see it with my own eyes, I won't believe that there is such a strange thing!"

The people who fled back without exception all boasted of the Shenwu Army. Yin Ziqi was shocked, and the other was angry. This is also the common feeling of the human heart, and only by blowing the gods and warriors of the army will they be relieved of a little guilt for their defeat. However, he didn't want to kill these routs and defeated generals. The real damn thing is Ling Huchao, but he waited for three days and didn't see this liao escape back.

Later, the people who escaped from Xin'an also brought back a lot of news, some said that Ling Hu Chao had died in battle when the Shenwu army broke the city, some said that Ling Hu Chao was taken prisoner and beheaded by Qin Jin, and even said that he had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty...... All in all, there is everything to say, and Yin Ziqi is not sure which one he should believe.

Yan Jun is not a passive character, they have accumulated incomparable confidence in the past few years of rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, and the reason why Fang Xuan's army was put in Luoyang was because the internal strife had just subsided, and it was a safe strategy. Now, Fang Xuan's 100,000 army has been beaten and collapsed, and the self-confidence and morale that had been slightly eroded before are rising again.

Yin Ziqi has made up his mind to lead his troops out of Cijian and recover Xin'an. Xin'an, as the last barrier to the west of Luoyang, must not be in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. As for the fiasco of Ling Fox Chao, he only attributed it to the carelessness and incompetence of his people.

However, Yin Ziqi can only mobilize 50,000 people now, which is far from enough, if he can send another 50,000 people, he is not only confident of recovering Xin'an, but also sure to fight Tongguan in one go.

This requires a letter to An Qingxu, the king of Jin in Luoyang, to request additional personnel. Since Sun Xiaozhe was wiped out in Guanzhong, An Qingxu was almost killed by the Duan family and the King of Qi, if it were not for the full support of Yin Ziqi and other generals with troops, he would not have been able to seize power, and An An was steadily the king of Jin, waiting to inherit the throne of An Lushan.

It is true that Yin Ziqi's loyalty to An Qingxu is beyond doubt, but he still needs the full support of King Jin. If you can't defeat the Shenwu Army, or even be defeated by the Shenwu Army, then the person who can't protect your status is not only Yin Ziqi, even An Qingxu will be shaken by this, Shi Siming in the north has always been an enemy of An Qingxu, and the reason why he didn't dare to come to Luoyang to seize power was because of the fear of An Lushan, even if An Lushan had become a blind and irritable waste person at this time.

So, An Qingxu

Only unconditional support for Yin Ziqi is the best policy.

"General, Luoyang's adjustable troops are less than 50,000, where are the extra troops to support us?"

The deputy general Yang Chaozong knew the situation in Luoyang very well, Sun Xiaozhe lost nearly one-third of the elite troops of the Yan army in Guanzhong, and there were only about 100,000 elite soldiers and horses available in Luoyang, and now Linghu Chao lost another 30,000 people, and their troops were actually already stretched thin.

Yin Ziqi sneered:

"The land of Henan is densely populated, and the capture of Ding into the army is that although the combat strength of our soldiers has dropped a lot, aren't the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty all newly recruited rabble? As long as an elite is the middle and the newly recruited soldiers are the auxiliary, the Yan army still has a lot of advantages, and the difference from the past is only in the size of the advantage. ”

"......"

Yang Chaozong was about to speak, but Yin Ziqi glared at him.

"Back then, in the fierce battle with the Khitan in Youzhou, the Khitan people's combat strength was far superior to ours, didn't they still fight them? The army of the Tang Dynasty was just a group of soft-footed shrimp, what was there to fear? Ling Fox Chao was defeated, that was because he didn't know how to restrain himself, and he made mistakes against the enemy.

Yang Chaozong thought for a while and said:

"At least sixty percent or more!"

Yin Ziqi laughed.

"Sixty percent?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured with the word eight, and Yang Chaozong said:

"Eighty?"

Luoyang, after the infighting, there are still black blood stains on the streets that have not disappeared, and the high poles outside the East Market are full of blue and black human heads, and you can smell a foul smell from a distance, and swarms of flies gather in the sky above the East Market.

Suddenly, the gong sounded suddenly, and the pedestrians hurriedly avoided, and soon there were hundreds of horses galloping past, followed by more than a dozen chariots, the flags clearly showed that the owner of the convoy was the most powerful person in Luoyang City, King An Qingxu of Jin.

A month ago, the King of Jin and the King of Qi were merged, and people still remember it vividly. The main streets of Luoyang City were full of dead people, most of them were supporting the forbidden army of Queen Duan and King Qi, and the fight lasted for a whole day and night, and King Qi was caught by the people of King Jin and dragged to Dongshi to be chopped alive.

After the Jin king seized power, he imprisoned the Duan clan and began to purge the officials who supported the king of Qi in the imperial court. Many officials were accused of rebellion, and all the men and women of the family were dragged to Dongshi to be beheaded, and the women were put into government-run brothels for prostitution. The execution and murder alone lasted for three days and three nights, and for a time the streets near the left side of the East Market were full of blood, and the stench of corpses was endless.

Now, the officials and people in the city know that although the king of Jin has not ascended the throne, he is actually no different from the emperor. As for An Lushan, who ascended the throne and became emperor two years ago, maybe he is just a blind and powerless old guy.

The convoy of horses and horses was gone, and the people were pointing and talking with palpitations.

"The king of Jin is going to forbidden, I don't know when he will ascend the throne as the emperor......"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being hung on top of that......"

Some of the people pointed to the black, stinking head on the high pole and warned the man who had no mouth.

An Qingxu swaggered into the palace, and the inner supervisor Li Zhu'er got the letter and came out upside down.

"Your Highness is going to visit Concubine Xingshu today?"

The pot-bellied An Qingxu glanced at Li Zhu'er and asked:

"Is the old guy still safe, didn't he embarrass you today?"

Hearing this, Li Zhu'er's eyes turned red.

"The slave and maid were whipped ten more yesterday......"

An Qingxu snorted coldly.

"Old immortal!"

After scolding, he felt a little too public, looked at the surroundings and saw that there were no others, and then said:

"The old guy is blind, and he can't toss for a few days, and the things in the palace, which have a few mouths, directly pull them out to feed the wolves. ”

Li Zhu'er's expression changed very quickly, she was sobbing and crying just now, but now she is smiling flatteringly.

"Your Highness put down, killed chickens and monkeys several times, but he was very honest, and his mouth was very strict, and he didn't dare to say a word or a half. ”

An Qingxu walked to the harem satisfied, and Li Zhu'er followed behind.

Since the killing of the King of Qi, An Qingxu has completely cut off An Lushan's contact with the outside world, this half-life hero was actually raised in captivity like a pig and dog, and all the news he learned about the outside of the palace was a lie carefully woven by Li Zhu'er and Yan Zhuang and others.

It's not that An Qingxu doesn't want to seize power, but An Lushan can't die yet. The Tang Dynasty was not destroyed, Chang'an was not down, and the prestige of An Lushan in the Yan Dynasty was still irreplaceable, such as Shi Siming, who stayed in Hebei, and the reason why he bowed down to the Luoyang court was because of An Lushan.

Although An Qingxu is reckless, he is not a complete fool, and there are many strategists around him who give advice, leaving An Lushan, the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages.

Therefore, he coaxed An Lushan to maintain the delicate balance in the Luoyang court.

However, An Qingxu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has long coveted the young beauty around An Lushan, how could he let go of such an opportunity? The first person to be ravaged by him was King Qi's biological mother, Queen Duan. Duan's family was born in Dali aristocracy, began to serve An Lushan at the age of fifteen, and is still only in his early thirties, still beautiful and moving.

It's a pity that Duan's crying and crying all day long, and tried to assassinate An Qingxu several times, and he was completely disgusted by him within a few days. On the contrary, Concubine Shu's Liu did her best to welcome him, and the **** he served made him linger day by day.

Concubine Shu Yan didn't know that An Lushan was already a wasted person, and the one who inherited the family business of the great world would be the black and fat King of Jin sooner or later, and he would not exclude An Qingxu, who held a lot of power, for the sake of the future. She heard An Qingxu's heavy footsteps early in the morning, and complained coquettishly that he didn't come over sooner before she saw him.

Powder fist hammered chest, voice tactful, burned An Qingxu's flirtatious **, I can't wait to immediately peel off the bamboo shoots of the beauty in my arms, and fight on the spot**.

But at this moment, the palace door behind him was kicked open from the outside with a bang.

Li Zhu'er groaned and rolled in. An Qingxu was about to get angry, but when he turned around, he was stunned.

"Father, father...... You, how do you ......"

It was not a bystander who kicked in the door, it was An Lushan, who was already blind. I saw that although his eyes were blank, his beard and hair were already angry, his chest was rising and falling violently, his hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on his wrists were bursting out.
