Li Yu and Li Guangbi waited for several days in the camp outside Luoyang City, and did not wait for Zhang Xuan's trace, and were very impatient.

But if you can't see Zhang Xuan, this will can't be declared. repeatedly approached Guo Ziyi, Guo Ziyi only deduced that Zhang Xuan led the army to pursue the rebels, but there is no news so far. [Search for the latest updates]

Li Guangbi had no choice but to continue to wait.

At this time, Li Siye's troops, who were pursuing the remnants of An Qingxu's rebels, and Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun's Shence army, joined forces and surrounded Linzhang, trapping An Qingxu and his henchmen in Hancheng (i.e., Linzhang).

An Qingxu's main rebel general, Li Guiren, was routed by Li Siye's Modao army and fled to Hedong in an attempt to defect to Shi Siming's army.

Qiu City was surrounded by 20,000 Tang regiments, and An Qingxu in the city had only a few thousand rebels around him, and the walls of Juancheng were low, making it difficult to hold on. Under such a disparity in strength, An Qingxu's result can be imagined.

An Qingxu saw that the general trend had gone, and in desperation, he was about to kill himself with a horizontal knife, but was snatched away by Yan Zhuang.

"Your Majesty, no!" Yan Zhuang shouted softly.

An Qingxu looked back at Yan Zhuang sadly, and said gloomily, "'Master Yan, I have no way out, only to die!'" ”

"Your Majesty, why should you take your own life. The so-called good death is better than living, since the defeat of our army has gone, it is better to write a surrender letter and surrender to the Tang Emperor.

Yan heard that Emperor Tang was lenient, as long as His Majesty was humble and bent his knees, he would be able to save his life. There is even a chance to make a comeback in the future. Yan Zhuang said softly.

"In the eyes of the Tang Emperor, I am a rebel, and surrendering is also a death, it is better to cut off myself and come clean." An Qingxu sighed: "'I have only been on the throne for a few months, and my army has been defeated like a mountain, this is not the will of heaven!'" It seems that our An family has the strength to be the king and hegemon, but we do not have the luck to change the dynasty, which is really sad and lamentable! ”

Yan You shook his head, "'The rebel is An Lushan, and he has nothing to do with Your Majesty. His Majesty can put all the crimes of rebellion on the king of Anjun, write a letter to the minister, and order Fanyang B County to surrender, and there should be no problem in saving his life. ”

An Qingxu was originally pregnant with the will to die, but he didn't die once, and he was solemnly persuaded for a long time, and the so-called mortal heart faded.

After hesitating for a long time, he still followed Yan Zhuang's suggestion, and Yan Zhuang ghostwrote a respectful and humble letter of surrender, expressing his willingness to surrender to the Tang Emperor, and at the same time ordering Fanyang County B to return to the imperial court.

Morning. Li Siye and Nan Jiyun were about to give the order to attack the city, when they suddenly saw the city gate open, and An Qingxu took a group of puppet ministers of the Great Yan State to hold high the white flag and surrender out of the city.

Li Siye and Nan Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Since An Qingxu surrendered, omitted siege warfare, avoided casualties among the soldiers, and won without a fight, that was the best.

Li Siye, Nan Jiyun, and Lei Wanchun, the three Tang generals, straddled their horses, staring condescendingly at the leader of the rebel army led by An Qingxu who came over dejectedly, and couldn't help laughing.

An Qingxu gritted his teeth and hung his head and walked quickly, while Yan Zhuang bowed down to Li Siye and Nan Jiyun, "'Three generals, this is the letter of my lord, as long as His Majesty the Emperor is willing to forgive us and other sins, Fanyang B County will all surrender." ”

Li Siye sneered, "'Your father-in-law? Traitors only! An ignorant son dares to call himself the emperor! There is also you, who bewitched An Lushan to rebel first, and killed the lord to make chaos later, and now he has coaxed An Qingxu to surrender to the court, and the clouds and twilight rain are raining, and there is no integrity at all! Capricious villains like you should be punished on the spot! ”

Yan Zhuang was embarrassed by Li Siye's words, and although he was a prisoner, he couldn't help but retort: "'An Lushan rebellion has been preparing for more than ten years, how can it be ruined because of Yan!'" An Lushan is rebellious, Yan kills him for Tianxingdao, how can he kill the master? As for the surrender of Kaesong now, it is to know the current affairs and advance and retreat, how can it become capricious! ”

Yan Zhuang's defense made Li Siye a little speechless. He didn't expect that there were such cheeky people in this world, who were obviously selfish and self-interested, and anyone could betray as long as they had interests, but when it came to Yan Zhuang's mouth, it became righteous and awe-inspiring, just like...

Li Siye couldn't cry or laugh, and glanced at Yan Zhuang with disdain: "'You guy is really clever, but what is the use of a shameless person like you? Come on, drag this thief down and behead him! ”

Yan Zhuang was so shocked that he even opened his throat and shouted: "'Yan is a surrendered minister, and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is a benevolent and righteous king, and he will not kill the surrendered ministers!'" ”

An Qingxu and the others, who had already walked to the front, suddenly heard Yan Zhuang's trembling shout, and couldn't help but tremble, but they didn't dare to look back.

Li Siye smiled, and said secretly in his heart: "'The emperor is in Chang'an, you are here to call the emperor for help, and the emperor can't hear it.'" ”

Li Siye waved his hand, and several vicious soldiers stepped forward, about to take Yan Zhuang down and behead him, Nan Jiyun smiled and said to Li Siye, "'Brother Li, before coming here, the marshal once instructed Nan Ba that if he could capture Yan Zhuang alive, he would be spared, and the marshal would meet this person in person. ”

Li Siye was stunned, and then waved his hand again to let the soldier bring back the pale Yan Zhuang again.

After walking back from the ghost gate, Yan Zhuang's legs trembled, and his body was weak and sifted through chaff. Fan Yunzhong.

Zhang Xuan's Jingyuan army sent to Fanyang before was blocked by Fanyang's remaining army horses in the clouds, because the main general Meng Ping was too light on the enemy's rash advance, resulting in the defeat of all three battles, and the 20,000 Jingyuan army on the expedition were either killed or fled back to Hexi.

Just when An Qingxu of Handcheng was preparing to surrender to the Tang Emperor with Fanyang County B as a bargaining chip, the 40,000 troops of Shi Siming and his son rushed from Shuofang to Fanyang and occupied Fanyang County B in the shortest possible time.

Shi Siming was originally a general of Fan Yang, and he drove into Fan Yang under the banner of An Qingxu. By the time he realized that the situation was wrong, Shi Siming had already firmly controlled the situation.

Fanyang is An Lushan's old nest, which has been in business for nearly a year, and has accumulated countless kinds of heavy money and grain. In addition, An Lushan rebelled and attacked the Central Plains, plundering the gold and silk property of the counties along the line and the eastern capital Luoyang, and hoarded them in the Fanyang secret vault.

In this way, it is cheaper for Shi Siming.

Shi Siming got a huge fortune, and from this, ambition gradually grew.

He wanted to occupy Fanyang and become a country of his own and fight against Zhang Xuan. Since he had this idea, the previous surrender to Zhang Xuan naturally came to naught.

In the midst of turmoil, the situation is changing rapidly, and as a careerist, it is not surprising that Shi Siming is so repeated.

Shi Siming, while reorganizing the hearts of the people of Fanyang B County, reorganizing and annexing the remnants of Li Guiren, and at the same time recruiting troops to strengthen his strength, at the same time, he arranged heavy troops at the passes leading to Hedong and Fanyang in Henan, preparing to block Zhang Xuan from going north to Fanyang.

As long as Zhang Xuan raised troops, he was ready to establish himself as emperor in Fanyang.

Luoyang.

After the An Lushan rebellion and the war, Luoyang City was dilapidated, and the population was even more depressed. Although Zhang Xuan recovered Luoyang and Henan, because the rebellion had not yet completely ended, the people who fled Luoyang City before the war did not return.

It was not until the news of An Qingxu's defeat and surrender in Handcheng came that the people of Luoyang and the people of Henan prefectures and counties scattered all over the country slowly dragged their families and returned to their hometowns.

The weather in April is springy, the earth is rejuvenated, and the wind is gentle. People come and go at the gate of Luoyang City, and the people and businessmen are happy, and there are gradually signs of returning to the prosperity of the past.

All the way the soldiers came with horses and whips, and the people hurried to give way.

"Isn't the person who was tied to the horse the Great Yan Emperor An Qingxu?"

"A certain family recognizes that white-faced scholar, that is the prime minister of Dayan Kingdom!"

"These chaotic ministers and thieves are harming the people, they deserve to be killed and killed!"

When some rebels occupied Luoyang City, the people who survived in Chang'an stood by the road and whispered, pointing to An Qingxu and other traitors and thieves who were escorted over, and cursing secretly.

Li Yu and Li Guangbi stood far away by the official road with a few entourages, staring at An Qingxu and other traitor captives who were escorted into the city, and glanced at each other.

"Your Highness, I will go into the city, take over An Qingxu and the others, and then send them to Chang'an for Your Majesty to dispose of!" Li Guangbi groaned, "'Since An Qingxu has surrendered, it should be dealt with by the imperial court!'" ”

"Hasn't Zhang Xuan returned to the army yet?" Li Yu frowned and said.

Li Guangbi smiled coldly, "'Your Highness, in fact, Zhang Xuan should be in Luoyang, but he just avoided us. Your Highness, since he is dragging and disappearing, then we might as well ....... ”

Li Guangbi whispered a few words in Li Yu's ear, and Li Yu nodded silently.

Li Guangbi guessed correctly, Zhang Xuan has returned to Luoyang, but he has always avoided Li Yu and Li Guangbi, even if they are the so-called ministers of the Qincha, and there is a holy decree to be announced.

An Qingxu, Yan Zhuang and others were escorted back to Luoyang City, and naturally they were directly escorted into Zhang Xuan's marshal mansion.

Zhang Xuan was dressed in a cyan civilian robe, sitting solemnly behind the handsome case, and Guo Ziyi, Fugu Huaien and others will be lined up on both sides.

An Qingxu walked in dejectedly, followed by Yan Zhuang and a few other rebel generals with heads and faces.

An Qingxu smiled reluctantly and bowed to Zhang Xuan, "'Sinner An Qingxu, meet King Yongning!'" ”

"There is no King of Yongning here, only the Generalissimo of the counterinsurgency.

Zhang Xuan stared at An Qingxu, smiled lightly, pinched An Lushan's descending book with two fingers, and said indifferently: "'An Qingxu, it is said that you want to surrender to His Majesty the Emperor instead of surrendering to Ben Shuai, is that what you say? ”

An Qingxu was silent.

"Your father and son have raised an army to cause chaos in the world, resulting in the destruction of lives and the misery of the people. In Henan, Lianghuai, and Jiangnan, the rebels of Fanyang burned, killed, plundered, and robbed the people's daughters, committed many crimes, and the heavens were angry and resentful! ”

"And like you, who kill your father and are not filial, often fall into the villains of great rebellion, and there are more than one innocent person who dies, push An Qingxu out and behead him to show the public!"

An Qingxu's face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice, "'An has surrendered to His Majesty the Emperor, and without His Majesty's order, you dare"

Before An Qingxu's words were finished, Zhang Xuan suddenly slapped the table case and shouted, "'Push it out, kill!'" (To be continued)
