The iron rider hissed the cold wind, and the long road was full of smoke and dust. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the morning of the third day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754), on the official road in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, five hundred people with hair and left hair, armor and robes rode one person and three horses, like a violent wind swept through the empty winter field. Thousands of horses' hooves trampled on the dry official road, rolling up billowing dust. In the middle of the smoke was a wide four-wheeled carriage, with eight horses galloping westward, driven by the groom.

The cavalry did not hesitate to horsepower, whipping and shouting from time to time, urging the sweaty Liaodong Shenjun to sacrifice his life and gallop. Once the mount was found to be weakened, the ape-like light cavalry jumped off the undulating saddle with both feet, and jumped neatly onto the back of the spare horse. If a horse falls to the ground due to fatigue, it will be discarded directly by the rider; If a soldier is left behind, a cruel punishment awaits him.

The 500 light horsemen of the Dragloche River were all warriors from a thousand miles on the grassland, and along the way, although there were constantly mounts foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground, none of the cavalry was left behind. The prefectures and counties along the route in Youzhou and Hedong received harshly worded military orders one step earlier, and hurriedly prepared supplementary war horses and grain and grass along the way. Therefore, in just nine days, 500 light horsemen of the Luohe River escorted Wang An Lushan of Dongping County from Youzhou to Gyeonggi.

In the carriage that was bumpy like a boat, An Lushan, who was piled up like a mountain of meat, looked tired and uncertain.

Although the noble dress of Confucian was also exhausted, he still opened the curtain with a strong spirit, looked at Qianli Woye in Gyeonggi and asked, "Your Highness, does you know the art of Kanyu?" ”

"What to look at donkeys, look at horses, someone who knows how to buy a donkey and sell a horse!" An Lushan, who was holding back the fire in his belly, did not have a good airway. When he was young, he worked as a yalang in the Youzhou border yard to help buyers and sellers negotiate prices, and he was familiar with how to buy and sell livestock.

"Your Highness has misunderstood, and what I want to ask is why the Qin, Han, Sui and national dynasties all set their capital in Guanzhong?" Gao Shang, who is familiar with the temper of his boss, explained.

"A circle of mountains, a half ring of water, there are horses in the northwest, and there is a big granary in the south, Guanzhong can be attacked, retreated and defended, as long as it is not blind, it can naturally be seen that this is a treasure of feng shui." An Lushan was very dismissive of noble questions.

"Guanzhong is based on the solidity of Cuihan, the land of Yongzhou, the land of blocking mountains and rivers, it is the land of four stops, and it has been the land of kings since ancient times, so can His Highness know what are the flaws in Chang'an, the capital of Dingdu?"

"Flaws?" An Lushan thought for a while and gave the answer: "There are too many people in Chang'an City, and they can't do without Jianghuai's grain, grass and taxes. ”

"Your Highness really knows the geography of the mountains and rivers in the world, last year's floods, the transportation was blocked, and the price of grain in Guanzhong rose three times a day, forcing the saint to agree to dismiss the victims under the pretext of training the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army." Gao Shang said with deep flattery: "The dynasty took Luoyang as the accompanying capital, just to ensure the smooth flow of Cao Yun." ”

"The ground in Luoyang is too narrow, and it is not as open as Chang'an, but the surrounding water transportation is convenient, and there is no risk of running out of food." An Lushan moved his body with difficulty and commented casually.

"The god capital is in the middle of the world, across the Yi, Luo, and the streams, leaning on the mountains in the north, Yique in the south, according to the tiger prison in the east, and Kunban in the west.

"It's been a long time, isn't it just looking at the terrain, what's mysterious about this." An Lu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The mountain scoffs at the noble trickery.

"The long journey is hard, but I can just chat with His Highness to relieve my boredom." Gao Shang said with a smile: "Then dare to ask Your Highness, what other city in the world can be the land of dragon prosperity?" ”

"How is the northern capital of Taiyuan?" An Lushan suddenly became a little interested.

"Taiyuan is the capital of Hedong, the desert in the north, Hanoi in the south, the west of Guanzhong, the east of Yanzhao, the mountains and rivers in the surface, easy to defend and difficult to attack, can become a hegemony, fight for the world. At the beginning of the dynasty, troops also rose from this place. Gao Shang said eloquently: "However, Taiyuan is surrounded by mountains, the road is rugged, and it is not conducive to ruling the world, and compared with Chang'an and Luoyang, it is slightly inferior. ”

"I always hear the merchants of Jianghuai boast about Haikou, saying that Jinling is too good. A certain little lady in Jinling is quite smart, but a certain does not feel that this city can be called both east and west. "An Lushan has lived in Youyan for a long time and is not very familiar with the south.

"Jinling is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the tiger is standing on the dragon, and there is a royal spirit. In the past, when the Warring States Period, King Chu Wei destroyed Yue, that is, there were Fang Shi who said that there was a king's spirit here, and King Wei buried gold to town it, so it was named Jinling; After Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour will pass through this place, it is also expected that the qi will be cloudy, five hundred years later, Jiangdong has the son of heaven from Wu, and the terrain of Jinling has the gas of the king's capital. The first emperor was afraid of it, so he dug up Liangang and changed his name to Moling, in order to cut off his royal spirit, so the capital of Jinling was more short-lived and weak. ”

"Is that so?" An Lushan was dumbfounded and suspicious.

"Sun Wu at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty who moved south, and Liang Chen of the Song Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty are all very short, isn't it the destiny of heaven?" Noble pretending to be mysterious: "Your Highness, I have read a lot of books since I was a child, and I know a little about the study of Wangqi, looking at the world, in addition to Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jinling, there is still a place where there is also a king's spirit, and there will be a son of heaven." ”

"Where?" An Lushan was very curious.

"Youzhou!" Noble and decisive railway.

"Secretary Gao Zhang, don't want to be so." An Lushan's cheeks trembled, and he seemed to be smiling.

"How dare you speak in front of Your Highness. Youzhou is surrounded by the sea on the left, Taihang on the right, Shuo desert in the north, and the river in the south. And the people of the land of Yan Zhao are fierce, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and they can look down on the world. "If there are 200,000 male soldiers, divide the troops into two roads, go all the way south along Hebei Road, go straight to Luoyang, take advantage of the precipitous lack of mountains, and overcome them in one fell swoop; All the way or go to the flying fox, or go to the well, in an instant, you can have the whole territory of Hedong. The two armies took Hebei, Hedong and Henan as the foundation, Youzhou as the nest, Taiyuan and Luoyang as the double fists, entered the west to attack Tongguan, and smashed Chang'an; Retreat can also go south to Jianghuai, Tujinling, Yangzhou, east and west, occupy half of the country. ”

"Secretary Gao Zhang's hammer in the east and a stick in the west chattered for a long time, and it turned out that he had a huge article in his belly." An Lushan was noncommittal to the noble demagoguery.

"Now the saint is greedy for pleasure, the right minister is stupid and incompetent, His Royal Highness has 150,000 elite soldiers under his account, if he lures the Khitan, Xi, Murowei, Jin Ya and other departments with wealth and profits, the 300,000 army will come immediately, and the world will have it at his fingertips, will His Highness not be careful?"

"The two are useless in the forbidden army, and 100,000 Youzhou athletes are enough." An Lushan muttered: "However, Gao Weng has trained the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army by sending elite soldiers from various towns, and I don't know what the combat strength is. ”

"It turns out that His Highness has already had a belly case, congratulations!" Gao Shang laughed: "The festival in the river makes Ashina Yang known as a soldier, and polishes the army in the river."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) It took three years. As for the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, it didn't take three or four years to work hard, and it was embarrassing and useful. Gao Weng recruited Zhang Shouyu's soldiers and horses to enter Beijing, which just shows that there is a lack of good generals in the ban. ”

"Secretary Gao Zhang, don't talk nonsense, the saint treats him well, how can I rebel." An Lushan made a color road.

"And what about after the saint's death?" \t

"The body and bones of the saint are not bad, and the saint of a certain tribute aphrodisiac 'Helping Love Flowers' is not used less." An Lushan smiled lewdly and shook his fat palm, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Your Highness, people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts. Since Li Xiangxu, Yang Guozhong succeeded as the right minister, and repeatedly slandered and framed His Highness in front of the saint. There is a way that three people become tigers, and although the saint favors His Royal Highness, he can't stand Yang Guozhong and his henchmen framing day after day. Gao Shang ignored An Lushan's gesture and said to himself.

"Abominable Yang Guozhong!" An Lushan slapped the carriage angrily and cursed loudly: "He is just a prodigal son like a dog, if he is not stained with the light of the concubine, how can he be the right minister?" Li Xiang's eyes are like knives, which makes people feel cold all over the body and feel restless; Yang Guozhong's frivolous behavior is a dog thing, and he dares to bully a certain head, which is really a dog's eyes! ”

Seeing An Lushan's anger, Gao Shang was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to add fuel and vinegar to the words: "Before the Yuan Day Dynasty meeting, His Royal Highness had already decided to let Yan Kongmu serve as the envoy of the court, but Yang Guozhong actually took advantage of this to make a fuss and framed His Highness in front of the saint for having a disobedient heart, so he did not dare to enter Beijing. If it weren't for Cheng Jiwen's secret report in the imperial history, His Royal Highness would have been plotted against the traitor and lost the trust of the saint. can hide from the first day of junior high school, but can't hide from the fifteenth, the saint is still deaf and clear-sighted, and I believe that His Royal Highness is loyal. But what if the saint is old and dizzy? Yang Guozhong is on the right side, and he has all kinds of means to deal with His Highness, is His Highness planning to be killed? ”

"He is already the head of a hundred officials, and he is just a general in a border town, what can he do if he is not convinced?" An Lushan spread out his fat palms and looked helpless.

"How can Your Highness grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige." Gao Shang knew that An Lushan's words were insincere, but he did not expose it: "Yang Guozhong has no talent and no virtue, and he is definitely not a good minister who governs the world." According to the news from Ji Wen, after Yang Guozhong succeeded to the right minister, he hired nepotism and secretly determined the candidates for officials in private; excluded dissidents, and ordered Jiwen to repeatedly attack Chen Xilie and Zhang Jun. The Chang'an court was full of smoke and miasma, and the civil and military officials complained. There are even rumors that the concubine is becoming more and more estranged from Yang Guozhong. In the long run, Yang Guozhong will be ruined. ”

"It's the best, no wonder Gynven wants to take refuge in someone." An Lushan said with a smile: "However, Ji Wen's heart is higher than the sky, and a mere imperial history can't satisfy his appetite." ”

"Your Highness is like a god!" Gao Shang praised: "Ji Wen has written secret letters several times before, intending that His Highness will support him to enter the government hall. This time, he informed His Highness of Yang Guozhong's conspiracy in advance, and persuaded His Highness to gallop into Beijing, and the intention of currying favor was self-evident. ”

"Yang Guozhong regards Ji Wen as his confidant, and he takes Chen Xilie and Zhang Jun under the knife, isn't it just to make room for him?" An Lushan has no ink on his chest, but his judgment of the court dispute is to the point.

"Your Highness's eyes are as wise as torches." Noble flattery: "Yang Guozhong's abacus is clanging, but Zhang Jun has the support of the East Palace behind him, and it is difficult to shake. Chen Xilie, the left minister, is barely a soft persimmon, but he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and there are no flaws for a while. ”
