After An Lushan arranged for Sun Xiaozhe to lead 100,000 troops west to attack Chang'an, he asked his ministers: "What else do you have to play?" ”

The prime minister solemnly stood up and handed over his hand to report: "Your Majesty, Shi Siming sent someone to report that it is a little difficult to defeat Li Guangbi's troops with his current troops, so he asked the imperial court to send a team of troops and horses north to attack Li Guangbi with him and open up our north-south communication!" ”

The retreat was cut off also made An Lushan very anxious, in the past, because Tongguan was controlled by the Tang army, strategically posed a threat to Luoyang and other surrounding places, now Tongguan is controlled in his own hands, although there is still a threat from the Beiting Army in the west, but this threat is not big, as long as the Tongguan and Hedong (Yongji) area are guarded, and the Yellow River waterway is controlled, it is not easy for the Tang army to threaten Luoyang, and now it has sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to the west, and there is no need to worry about the threat from the west for the time being. Nanyang, controlled by the Tang Dynasty in the south, and Yongqiu in the east, were more than self-retaining and lacked enterprising, and it was unlikely that they would pose a threat to their Dayan Dynasty.

An Lushan thought for a moment and said to his ministers: "It is imperative to send a team of soldiers and horses to attack Li Guangbi with Shi Siming from the north and south, and open up the communication line between the north and the south of our country, I don't know which general is willing to lead the army north?" ”

Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi glanced at each other, stood up together and hugged their fists and said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to lead the troops north to fight Li Guangbi with Shi Siming!" ”

"You ・・・・・・" An Lushan looked at the two most capable generals under his command suspiciously, not understanding why the two of them stood up.

Seeing this, Yan Zhuang smiled and said: "Two generals, isn't it that the two of you saw Zhao Ziliang coming to lead the army, and you didn't want to fight against him when you remembered the friendship between teachers and students back then?" ”

was reminded by Yan Zhuang like this, An Lushan and the ministers remembered that Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi were Zhao Ziliang's main exams when they took the martial arts examination, according to the ideas of this era, these two people were Zhao Ziliang's students, and it was no wonder that these two people asked to lead the troops to the north and avoid confrontation with Zhao Ziliang.

In fact, the reason why Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi took the initiative to stand up was not only because it was difficult to erase the friendship between teachers and students, but on the other hand, they had no confidence to fight against Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang was a general who had been famous for many years, and when he was already a general with extremely rich experience and achievements on the battlefield, Tian Chenghe, Cui Qianyou and others were still nobodies. For so many years, Zhao Ziliang has never been defeated and invincible, and in the face of such a person, they really can't muster the courage to face it.

Of course, Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi would not say that the two of them did not have the courage to fight against Zhao Ziliang at all, which was a shame for the martial artists, and the two just said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, we really can't erase our feelings, if we fight against our teacher, how will we face the mouth of the world?" ”

An Lushan didn't speak, and Yan Zhuang immediately scolded: "The two generals, among the three relationships between the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, and the teacher and the student, it is obvious that the relationship between the monarch and the minister is at the forefront, as the saying goes, 'loyalty and filial piety cannot be both', have the two generals forgotten that His Majesty has valued and promoted the two generals for so many years?" Your relationship with Zhao Ziliang is just a small righteousness, in the face of righteousness, what is a small righteousness? ”

These words left Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi speechless.

An Lushan smiled at the right time to comfort the two and said: "The two generals are my right-hand men, and I can't do without you!" Zhao Ziliang is indeed very powerful, this is not that I want to raise the morale of others to destroy my own prestige, this is a fact, Zhao Ziliang has been invincible for many years, and his record is not blown, I can't help but admit this, and the two generals are his students, and they should know something about him, so I need the assistance of the two generals here, and the two generals will stay by my side with peace of mind! ”

When it came to this, Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi had to agree: "Obey!" ”

An Lushan looked at the other generals and said to Cai Xide: "General Cai, I order you to command 20,000 troops to go north to attack Li Guangbi with Shi Siming, and set off immediately!" ”

The bearded Cai Xide stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

・・・・・・

Fifteen miles east of Chang'an, Baqiao, Beiting Army Camp.

In the handsome tent, Zhao Ziliang, who was draped all over his body, stood in front of the map and measured the distance on the map with a ruler, Wang Can walked in and hugged his fists and reported: "Dashuai, our intelligence system in the Central Plains has been fully activated, and we have just received two pieces of news from the inside line of Luoyang: First, yesterday An Lushan in the court in Luoyang had ordered Sun Xiaozhe to lead 100,000 troops westward, and the target was our army!" Defeat our army, and you can take Chang'an again! Second, Shi Siming sent people to Luoyang to ask An Lushan to send a group of troops and horses north to attack Li Guangbi's troops with him, Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi both wanted to lead the troops north, but were strictly obstructed by the prime minister, and also pointed out their teacher-student relationship with the marshal, and finally An Lushan sent the general Cai Xide to lead 20,000 troops north! ”

Zhao Ziliang turned around when he heard this, and asked Cen Shen, who was processing the official document next to him: "Mr. Cen, what do you think?" ”

Cen Shen said: "Xia Guan is thinking, can this Cui Qianyou and Tian Chenghei fight for it?" As long as he can rebel against Cui Qianyou and Tian Chenghei, An Lushan will not be able to stand in Luoyang! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's almost impossible, I have such a relationship with Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi and others, but this relationship is not to the point where they can betray An Lushan!" However・・・・・・ this relationship can be exploited at a critical moment! ”

Cen Shen is such a smart person, where he still doesn't understand what Zhao Ziliang means, his eyes lit up: "The general means ・・・・・・."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and sighed: "That's right! Soldiers, treacherous! In order to win, even if it is to do everything, although they are my students, but for the sake of the common people in the world, I can't help but sacrifice them! Mr. Cen, you make a memo on this matter, if one day the two of them really face off with me, then use this strategy! ”

Cen Shen agreed: "Xiaguan understands!" ”

Zhao Ziliang measured the distance from Luoyang to Changshan on the map with a ruler in his hand, turned around and said: "It will take at least five or six days for Cai Xide's 20,000 army to prepare grain and grass, and it should be too late for us to inform Li Guangbi of the news, so that he can get the news early and make plans early!" Wang Can, quickly contact the intelligence station in Taiyuan and report the news to Li Guangbi! Mr. Cen, please draft a military order to Li Guangbi in the name of the marshal of the counterinsurgency army, and let him act at the opportunity, for the time being, we have no troops to go north to support him, if we really can't resist it, we will save the living force and retreat to Jingcheng Pass! ”

Cen Shen and Wang Can hugged their fists and said, "No! ”

The two of them went to act separately, and Zhao Ziliang muttered to himself with a ruler: "The soldiers have been resting for more than ten days, and it is time to move!" ”

"Someone, send an order to the Chinese army in the future!"

The generals and colonels who received the order rushed to the Chinese army's big tent, and Zhao Ziliang saw that everyone else had arrived, but he didn't see Chu Ge, so he asked, "Why hasn't Chu Ge arrived yet?" ”

A servant next to him reminded: "Didn't the marshal put him in charge of cleaning up the ministers, officials and nobles who surrendered to the rebels a few days ago in Chang'an City?" He was in the city for the past two days, and he did not return to the barracks."

Zhao Ziliang remembered it at this time, nodded and said, "Okay, I know!" Now we start to deliberate, just got the news, An Lushan sent Sun Xiaozhe to command 100,000 troops to attack us, this is An Lushan yesterday issued a holy decree, to mobilize 100,000 troops to march and fight, at least ten days of preparation time, so we still need time, now the soldiers have been resting for several days, it is time to move the muscles, I originally planned to wait for An Lushan's army to come, but I didn't expect them to grind, and now to react, from this point of view, An Lushan since the capture of Luoyang, I'm afraid that the desire to go in is not so strong, which is a good thing for us! But now we can't wait for them all the time, the morale of the soldiers has been fully restored, if we wait any longer, the morale will drop again, in this case, we might as well take the initiative! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziliang walked to the side of the map next to him, pointed on the map with a ruler and said: "I intend to send a vanguard all the way east to capture Weinan, Huayin and Feng Ling before the arrival of An Lushan's 100,000 army, and after capturing Feng Ling, immediately divide the troops to capture Yongfengcang and the Yellow River crossing, if there are conditions, you can collect the boats and take the opportunity to cross the river to capture Pujin Pass!" In this way, the rebels' 100,000 army should be a little timid, and at this time, we will fight a decisive battle with their 100,000 army under Tongguan City! What do the generals think? ”

After listening to Zhao Ziliang's combat strategy, the generals all exchanged heads and discussed with each other, nodding their heads from time to time.

At this time, Li Sheng stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and lead the troops to attack Weinan, Huayin, Feng Ling and Pujin Pass, and open the way for the main force of the army!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked back and forth on Li Sheng's face and the faces of other generals a few times in a row, and finally landed on Li Sheng's face and asked, "How many people do you need?" ”

Li Sheng said: "The last general only needs three thousand light horsemen!" It's just that the marshal is also asked to lend the tiger tooth soldiers under his command to the last general! ”

There are a total of 500 Huya soldiers, and this is a special type of army that Zhao Ziliang personally trained to seize passes, spy on intelligence, ambush, and assassinate enemy generals.

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "You're welcome, you're worried about the handsome tiger tooth soldier!" In this way, there are only 500 Huya soldiers, and Ben Shuai will give you 200! In addition, Ben Shuai will increase you to 5,000 light horses, but you have to complete the above tasks within 10 days! ”

Li Sheng promised: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Zheng San next to him said curiously: "General Li, although the city walls of Weinan, Huayin and Feng Ling are not as good as Chang'an City, they are not mud walls, you only bring light horses, how to attack the city?" ”

Li Sheng laughed: "Ben will have his own clever plan to capture the city!" Don't bother with Lord Zheng! (To be continued.) )
