In Fanyang, An Lushan and Shi Siming, two traitors, were actually made two saints by local warlords and Hu people.

In these two places, An Lushan and Shi Siming not only did not break their bones and scatter ashes, but were buried with a swagger.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was polite to the graves of these two dead people in order to appease the people of the three towns of Fanyang and not to stir up new contradictions.

However, just because they don't do it doesn't mean that no one wants to.

Tang Zhangwei has always been unaccustomed to these two bastards, so Tang Zhangwei ordered his subordinates to dig up their graves.

In these two places, Tang Zhangwei has always wanted to find them, but he was in a hurry before, and he didn't do this thing.

This time, in order to protect the mausoleum of the Tang Emperor, he led the disaster to the east and pushed out the tombs of these two false saints.

In the later period of the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and other favored ministers were appointed, and they lived a leading life, self-reliance, and were determined to develop the frontier, and the number of border towns increased to 10, with 490,000 troops, resulting in the weight of the outside and the light on the inside, creating conditions for the border generals to divide the territory. In November of the 14th year of Tianbao (755), together with An Lushan, he falsely claimed to be in the name of a secret order to crusade against Yang Guozhong, and raised 150,000 troops in Fanyang to go south against the Tang Dynasty, and soon swept Hebei. This is the famous "Anshi Rebellion" in history. When attacking the capital city of Chang'an (now Xi'an), he was the vanguard. In the second year, the rebels captured Luoyang, An Lushan called the emperor in Luoyang, made Shi Siming pass through Hebei, and named him the envoy of Fanyang Festival, occupying thirteen counties and having more than 80,000 soldiers and horses.

After An Lushan's rebellion, Shi Siming's army was the vanguard, and began to conquer Raoyang counties. It was not until the beginning of the fifteenth year of Tianbao that he was defeated by the combined forces of Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi in Changshan and fled to Boling.

Originally, the rebels were about to be defeated by Li Guangbi, but suddenly the news of Ge Shuhan's defeat at Tongguan came, Li Guangbi returned to the army, Shi Siming pursued after tiptoeing, and broke the Tang army Liu Zhengchen's department. Since the soldiers led by Shi Siming were the elite part of the An Lushan rebels, they took advantage of the victory to attack, attacked Changshan, Zhaojun, and Hejian, and destroyed the 12,000 Tang soldiers under Yan Zhenqing and Lin.

Then, Shi Siming led his troops to capture Qinghe. In Xindu, Shi Siming surrounded Wu Chengen, the son of his old boss Wu Zhiyi, in the city and plundered his mother, wife, and son. As a last resort, Wu Chengen surrendered, and Shi Siming "drank with his arm". From this, it can be seen that he still remembers some old feelings. In the second year of Suzong Zhide (757 AD), Shi Siming besieged the Taiyuan City garrisoned by Li Guangbi, and was finally defeated by Li Guangbi with "tunnel warfare". In October of that year, An Lushan was killed by his son An Qingxu and others, and Shi Siming suddenly became self-reliant.

Surrender to Tang

After An Qingxu killed An Lushan and became emperor, he was dissatisfied with Shi Siming's collection of the remnants of his collapse. Looking for an opportunity to get rid of Shi Siming.

After Shi Siming was repelled by Li Guangbi from the siege of Taiyuan, he returned to Fanyang to garrison, and An Qingxu named him the king of Fuchuan and the envoy of Fanyang. Fan Yang was originally the nest of the An family, and most of the treasures looted by An Lushan from Tokyo and Xijing were transported here for storage, and they were already piled up. Gradually, Shi Siming became rich and arrogant, wanting to take Fan Yang for himself, and did not want to be restrained by An Qingxu anymore.

After An Qingxu lost Luoyang, he fled to Ye County. After arriving in Ye County, Zhang Luo recruited troops everywhere, Cai Xide, Tian Chengsi, Wu Lingxun and others defected one after another, and they got about 60,000 people. Only Shi Siming neither sent troops nor envoys, An Qingxu suspected that he had two hearts, so he sent Ashina Chengqing, An Shouzhong, and Li Lijie to Fanyang with 5,000 cavalry, in the name of conscription, but in fact, he wanted to check the situation and prepare for a sneak attack.

Shi Siming heard that several people were coming at the same time, and knew that the other party had bad intentions, so he set up an ambush outside the camp, and then led tens of thousands of soldiers to meet the messenger sent by An Qingxu. After seeing Ashina Chengqing and An Shouzhong, he immediately dismounted and saluted, shook hands and reminisced, and was very courteous. Ashina Chengqing couldn't wait for a start, so he had to follow him into Fanyang City. Shi Siming then led them into the living room, ordered music to set up a banquet, and entertained them with hospitality. When the wine was hot, Shi Siming threw out a wine glass and gave a signal to move, and the soldiers in ambush rushed in, taking down the three of them one by one, and at the same time intercepting the team brought by several people, giving them some money, and letting them go home.

Then, Shi Siming presented a letter of surrender to the Tang court, saying that he was willing to lead the thirteen counties and 130,000 troops under his jurisdiction to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Su Zong was very happy when he received the report, and immediately named Shi Siming as the king of Guiyi, and also served as the envoy of Fan Yangjie, and his seven sons were all awarded prominent official positions.

After Shi Siming was canonized, he immediately beheaded An Shouzhong and Li Lijie to show his sincerity to the imperial court. Only Ashina Chengqing and Shi Siming had a good relationship in the past, so they were not killed. Then, Shi Siming traveled all over Hebei to promote the purpose of the imperial court, and several states surrendered one after another, only Xiangzhou still belonged to An Qingxu.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty used both the rebels to pacify the rebels, and he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty for a time. The imperial court named him the king of Guiyi, and served as the envoy of Fan Yang Changshi and Hebei Jiedu.

Although he pretended to surrender, Shi Siming "showed obedience to orders on the outside, and was a thief on the inside", and constantly recruited troops and horses, which aroused Tang Suzong's vigilance. In May of the first year of Qianyuan (758 AD), with Wu Chengen as the deputy envoy, he was sent to Shi Siming's army to do "rebellion" work, hoping to wait for an opportunity to kill this ill-intentioned thief. Li Guangbi also gave Wu Zhisi strict instructions and sent him to act quickly.

Wu Chengen dressed up as a woman many times at night, and entered the generals' homes at night to "rebel". Unexpectedly, these generals from Fan generals were very loyal to Shi Siming, and turned their heads to report to Shi Siming.

Since there is no empirical evidence, Shi Siming can't do it. In the hotel, Shi Siming ambushed two people under Wu Chengen's bed. Seeing at night, Wu Chengen had a secret conversation with his son and said, "I promise to get rid of this rebellion!" The two people under the bed stood out when they heard this.

"Old Tang Book": Heaven and earth are closed, and they are rebellious and chaotic. Lushan committed a crime, and Zhu Zhu was called the emperor. The thieves' nest is protruding, and the crowd is erected. Collect it, hide it slowly!

"New Tang Dynasty Book": Lushan, Siming Xingyi slaves starved, and the fake son of heaven was lucky, so the world was disturbed. He can rebel against the king with his ministers, and his son can also kill his father by thieves, and things are good, and the way of heaven is certain. However, the people will be doomed, and they will fake their hands to others, so the two thieves will rise and perish. Zhang Wei ridiculed Liu Yu "near Xi Cao, Ma, far abandon Huan, Wen, the scourge and in the two dynasties, the blessing is not in three years, the eight leaves pass on their heirs, the six monarchs do not end their lives, the retribution of the sky, its clear verification!" Du Mu said: "Xianggong said that Emperor Suiwen should be the emperor, and then usurped the fruit." On the weekend, the Yang family was the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom, and the princes had been attacking each other for a long time, and once the man stole the title, it would not be three or twenty years, and the old and old babies would not be allowed to die. Those who know the law should say that this will be the disaster of the Yang family, but it can be a good person. Zhang and Du have recited it so far. For example, Lu Shan, Siming, Xi Liu Yu, Yang Jian and those who do not come, are based on their theories.
