Sunrise and sunset, after three days of repeating the cycle, the three of them came out of the secret room.

"Sir, you stink. Mrs. An Lushan, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, covered her nose with a disgusted face and said.

An Lushan, who was in a good mood, laughed indifferently and said, "Go and get the wine and food, master, I want to get drunk with my brothers." ”

"Lord, business matters, and then the wine and meat will be eaten. Gao Shang reminded beside him.

An Lushan patted his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes, pass the order, and quickly invite Shi Siming, Cui Qianyou, Cai Xide, Da Xixun, Zhang Tongru, Yan Zhuang, He Qianqian, Yang Chaozong, and Liu Luogu to come over to discuss the matter!"

These generals are all close associates of An Lushan, and they haven't seen the Jiedu envoy for three days, and they also have doubts in their hearts, and when they heard the call, they hurried away.

Closing the door of the study, An Lushan announced his decision to these cronies and generals.

"Today, the saint is indulging in beauty, reusing Yang Guozhong, a traitorous villain, and the crown prince Li Xiang is ready to move, no matter who is in power in the future, the two of them will not have a good life for us, so I summoned you to discuss with you where we will go in the future. ”

"What to discuss, the court is good to us, we will follow them, if you dare to blow up the hair, directly opposite, see what they can do with us." Yang Chaozong shouted loudly.

Shi Siming smiled slightly and nodded: "With the military power in hand, can hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers still be afraid of them?"

"What do you guys think?" An Lushan confirmed their attitude with each general.

The opinions were very unanimous, An Lushan was secretly happy in his heart, but his face frowned slightly and said: "If we want to hold the initiative in our own hands, strong soldiers and horses, and abundant grain and grass are the primary conditions, and these require a certain amount of time and financial resources to prepare, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Training ------," Cui Qianyou said with a word like gold.

This suggestion coincided with An Lushan's plan in his heart, and he slapped his hand and praised: "This idea is good, it is very much in line with my wishes." ”

After several close generals agreed on the details, An Lushan raised his tent and announced to hundreds of generals: "According to reliable information, the Khitan people near Fanyangzhou City are busy recruiting troops and horses, training soldiers, and there is a suspicion of a large-scale invasion of our dynasty. ”

The purpose of the construction of Xiongwu City is actually not as simple as An Lushan said, it is actually a deployment made by An Lushan in order to recruit troops and horses and reserve grain and grass.

Then An Lushan asked Gao Shang to play to the court on his behalf: Recently, Xi and Khitan have invaded the border, and the military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay.

At this time, An Lushan led the envoys of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong (now Taiyuan, Shanxi) and controlled most of the northern border. His recital was quickly approved.

With the holy decree, An Lushan secretly expanded his troops, and he selected 8,000 strong men from the troops of various tribes on the border to form an elite army to practice day and night, hoarding grain and grass in Xiongwu City, and sharpening weapons. As soon as Tang Xuanzong died, he was ready to rebel.

At this time, the conditions for raising his arms and calling out are not very mature, An Lushan also needs to use military skills to confuse Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, therefore, he set up banquets many times to lure the Khitans, and put the anesthetic herb scoolane seeds in the wine when the banquet was entertained, and dug the soil pit in advance, and waited until the Khitan people fell into a coma, cut off their heads and bury them on the spot, and the deceived Khitans were killed unconsciously, dozens of people each time.

Seeing the Khitan head offered by An Lushan, Tang Xuanzong trusted An Lushan more and more. The rewards were constantly sent to Fan Yang, and Shi Siming and other generals were promoted.

Although An Lushan's preparations were secretive, they still showed some clues, and as the days went by, the signs of rebellion gradually came to light. Fan Yang's Han general said: Jiedu has made An Lushan recruit troops and horses, and there are signs of rebellion, so I hope the emperor will investigate quickly.

Yang Guozhong paid attention to it, and he asked Tang Xuanzong Li Longji several times to investigate the matter thoroughly, but Tang Xuanzong was still immersed in the joy of receiving a batch of Khitan heads every few months, and he was convinced of An Lushan, and he said: "I treat An Lushan with my heart, and he will not have any dissenting intentions." Besides, the Xi and Khitan in the Northeast still rely on him to pacify. I can guarantee that he will not rebel, and you are worried about it. ”

Tang Taizong's stubbornness made Yang Guozhong a little worried.

At this time, Yang Yuhuan counted that it was almost time for An Lushan to launch a coup d'état, and she began to alienate Tang Xuanzong, and was busy preparing to run away in the Hall of Eternal Life every day.

"It's useless for you to prepare this, I'll just take you back when the time comes. I said.

"No, I don't want to die. Yang Yuhuan insisted with a very strong attitude.

"Tiandao is looking at you, it's not something you want to or not. Su Tong said beside him.

"Nianqing, can you help me get a dummy for them then? Yang Yuhuan pleaded with me in a flaming tone.

Nuan Ling'er pursed her lips beside her and said, "What's so good about being a man, you're still addicted to ------"

"Take me with you when you go, I don't want to be a bird. Ying'er flapped her wings and flew to Yang Yuhuan's shoulder and shouted.

"A group of big trouble------ "Qingtong looked at Yang Yuhuan and Ying'er like little adults and complained.

After thinking about it for a while, he explained: "Su Tong, you take Ying'er to find the mini black back; Qingtong, you take Nuan Ling'er to take the Canglan Palace, Flame, you continue to be your Yang Yuhuan, I will pick you up in two days. Let's go first. ”

A few of us went separately, and I went to Tang Xuanzong's Zuo Treasure Vault and several of his private vaults, and helped him search all the treasures inside.

When we were busy splitting up, An Lushan began to brazenly confront the imperial court. He first asked the imperial court to remove all the thirty-two Han generals of Fan Yang and appoint them by himself. This request was very unreasonable, which aroused the vigilance of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and he personally wrote an edict asking An Lushan to come to the capital to report on his work.

An Lushan's secretary said that he was sick: "The son is sick in bed, unable to face the saint, and I hope to forgive me." ”

An Lushan's performance at this time caused Tang Xuanzong's dissatisfaction, and he began to believe Yang Guozhong's words a little, suspecting that An Lushan was really going to rebel.

Although Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Yang Guozhong were suspicious of An Lushan, they were too confident to take this matter to heart, thinking that he would not be able to become a climate, and they did not think about how to prevent An Lushan's rebellion.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), An Lushan decided to launch a rebellion in advance after careful preparations. At this time, there happened to be an official who was good friends with An Lushan from the capital to Fanyang to do business, An Lushan forged an edict sent by Tang Xuanzong from the capital, and announced to the soldiers through the mouth of the official: "The emperor's secret edict ordered you to quickly lead troops into Beijing to crusade against Yang Guozhong------
