Du Fu was about to agree, but Chu Ge asked at this time: "Marshal, if Lai Yao retreats to Huainan, then wouldn't the An Lushan rebels go directly to the southeast, in this way, our encirclement of An Lushan rebels on the southern front battlefield will be broken, and then Lai Yao's troops are afraid that not only will they not be able to join forces with Ma Shouye and Wei Wei's soldiers and horses, but they will also be pursued by An Lushan's rebels!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "The rebel army that Lai Yao is currently facing is not much, and the area he is defending is not a critical place, so if he retreats, then the rebels will inevitably follow and lengthen the battle line." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And now into the spring, the rebels' focus has all shifted to the Tongguan line, in the siege of Nanyang and Ningling, Shangqiu and other areas of the force is not much, so that as long as the An Lushan rebels pursue the Lai Yao army, then my Nanyang defenders and the defenders of the Shangqiu line can divide a part of the forces to converge to cut off the return of the rebels, and at this time the Lai Yao army turned around and counterattacked, and the An Lushan rebels who pursued the Lai Yao army were bound to be defeated by the enemy on their backs, and our army took the opportunity to eat this rebel army, Later, Yao's army turned around and went south to Anlu to join up with the other two armies to attack Li Lan! Even if the rebels don't pursue, they will raise troops to capture the gap left by the withdrawal of the Laiyao army, so that the rebels' forces will be scattered, and now the general trend is mine, we don't have to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, disperse the enemy's forces, and then eat them one by one, so as to annihilate the enemy's living forces! It's not worth the cost to fight the rebels."

The generals nodded one after another, and Du Fu immediately agreed, and walked to the side and began to write a recital.

The chapter was written quickly, Du Fu took it to Zhao Ziliang to see, Zhao Ziliang nodded after reading it: "Yes, Mr. Du's writing is much stronger than mine, and the words are also good-looking, so I will send a fast horse to the court like this, come here, take my seal!" ”

Not long after the person who sent the chapter left, Wang Can, who had just gone out, quickly returned to the Shuai Mansion, and at this time, the generals and officials had not dispersed, Wang Can strode in and reported: "Dashuai, An Lushan is dead!" ”

The lobby of the Marshal's Mansion was quiet, and Zhao Ziliang thought that his ears were not hearing clearly: "What? What did you say? An Lushan is dead? ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "Yes, it's dead!" Twenty days have been dead! On the fifth day of the first lunar month, An Lushan accepted the courtiers to visit the shrine to discuss state affairs, and the sores suffered in the middle of the meeting, and he left halfway before the court meeting was finished. That night, the prime minister solemnly took An Lushan's personal eunuch Li Zhu'er and others to conspire to kill An Lushan, and it was the eunuch Li Zhu'er who did it! However, there is news from our inside that the real main messenger behind the scenes should be An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan, the king of Jin! ”

"Is the news true? Why did it take 20 days for the news to come back? ”

Wang Can said: "It should be true!" That night, after An Qingxu, Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er and others killed An Lushan, they dug a deep hole under the bed, wrapped An Lushan's body in a blanket and buried it under the bed, and kept it secret! Early the next morning, Yan Zhuang issued an order on behalf of An Lushan, imposed martial law in Luoyang City, only allowed to enter but not leave, and announced that An Lushan was located in Anqingxu, and honored An Lushan as the emperor. On the tenth day of the first month, An Qingxu ascended the throne as the emperor, and waited until the fifteenth day of the first month, An Qingxu announced the death of An Lushan, in order to prevent people from rebelling in Luoyang City, An Qingxu increased martial law, knowing that two days ago and the situation was stable before lifting martial law, we had the opportunity to send the news out! Now the generals of the rebel army have expressed their allegiance to An Qingxu! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone, walked to the main seat and sat down, and the others stood on both sides. Zhao Ziliang said: "Although An Lushan is dead, his power has been inherited by An Qingxu, and the rebels have no signs of chaos!" For us, we didn't take advantage of An Lushan's death! Someone, send this news to Chang'an too! ”

After Zhao Ziliang's two copies of the recital were sent to Chang'an, Xuanzong first saw the news of Li Luan's rebellion, was furious on the spot, broke many things, and scolded Li Luan for being unfilial, and at the same time according to Zhao Ziliang's suggestion, he issued an order to Lai Yao, Ma Shouye and Wei Wei and others, all in accordance with Zhao Ziliang's deployment.

After the news of An Lushan's death reached Xuanzong's ears, Xuanzong shouted: "Good death, good death, he should have died a long time ago, but it's a pity that he didn't catch him and put him to death!" ”

At the beginning of February, the holy decree was sent to Laiyao, and Laiyao immediately led his troops to retreat south after receiving the holy decree, and the Yan army really hit the plan, and the Yan army general Ashina Chengqing led an army of 50,000 to pursue Laiyao.

Lu Jiong, the general of Nanyang who received the order, immediately sent Wang Sili to lead 10,000 troops to the east, while Li Yuan, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, and others, the Wu kings stationed in Suiyang, cobbled together 10,000 horses and handed them over to the Nanji Yuntong belt, marched to the southwest, and joined Wang Sili's division in the Chenzhou area, cutting off the return route of Ashina Chengqing's 50,000 army.

At this time, the army of Lai Yao stopped going south, and suddenly turned around to meet the enemy, Ashina Chengqing set up a military formation to fight with Lai Yao, but was reported by his subordinates to learn that his back road was cut off by 20,000 Tang troops, and the Yan army suddenly panicked, under the attack of the Tang Army from the north and south, Ashina Chengqing was defeated, and the 50,000 Yan army was annihilated, and Ashina Chengqing was also defeated and captured.

After solving the 50,000 horses of Ashina Chengqing, the pressure of the Tang army in the area of Nanyang and Suiyang was greatly reduced, and the Tang army under the leadership of Nan Jiyun and Wang Sili went north to recover Yingchuan and advance to Zhengzhou, and the rebels had to strengthen the defense in the direction of Yingchuan from the soldiers and horses attacking Suiyang.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, Lai Yao led his troops to continue south. On the 16th, the army met with Ma Shouye's 10,000 horses and Wei Wei's 5,000 men and horses at Anlu, and the three of them swore to defeat Yongwang Li Lan.

Huayin, Marshal's Mansion.

Zhao Ziliang convened the generals to discuss the matter and said: "Now that the rebel Ashina Chengqing 50,000 has been annihilated, and he himself has been captured, and now he is being escorted to Chang'an, the 200,000 army led by Yin Ziqi is storming Suiyang, with King Wu, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others defending, Suiyang should be able to hold on for the time being, but it's time for us to move our muscles and bones to relieve some pressure on Suiyang and Nanyang!" How rare is the king? ”

Wang rarely stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Ben Shuai borrowed 10,000 horses from you before, and said that he would repay you 20,000 yuan, but now it's time!" Give you 20,000 horses to be stationed in Pujin Pass and stand by! ”

The king was overjoyed: "The last general is commanded!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the other generals: "Pass the order, except for the Huayin defenders, all the remaining men and horses will march to Tongguan and prepare to attack the rebels out of the pass!" ”

The generals made a loud promise: "Obey!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked the generals to prepare, leaving only Wang Can, and said to Wang Can: "Before we go out of the pass to attack the rebels, we still have to add a little trouble to the rebels!" I left you behind, for something was commanded of you."

Wang Can clenched his fists and said, "Please command!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took out a letter and said: "There is a letter here, you send someone to take it to secretly infiltrate the territory of the rebel forces, hand it over to Bi Sichen in person, and let the person with the letter tell Bi Sichen that I was a brother with Bi Sichen back then, and now I can't bear to see him fall into disrepute with the rebels, and he will be stinking for thousands of years." If he still has a heart of repentance and is willing to return to the imperial court, I can recommend him on his behalf, as long as he kills Li Guiren, controls the rebels attacking Nanyang, and plays the banner of returning to the imperial court anyway, I will not only write to the imperial court to suggest that he be restored to his original position, but also give him an official and a knight! ”

Wang Can took the letter and nodded: "Okay, the last general knows how to do it!" ”

On February 12, a middle-aged scribe swaggered into Yuncheng, which was controlled by the Yan army, and came to the mansion of Bi Sichen, the general of the Yan army.

Bi Sichen was originally an official residence, An Lushan was sent to Luoyang to recruit troops to defend against the enemy after the An Lushan rebellion, but he did not expect to be defeated by the rebels and became a prisoner of the rebels, in order to survive, he could only surrender, An Lushan also trusted Bi Sichen, and let him make Tian Chengsi a deputy general, Tian Chengsi was seriously ill at the end of last year and was transferred back to Luoyang to recuperate, but his condition soon worsened, and he died soon after, and Tian Chengsi's position was also replaced by Li Guiren.

"General, there is a scribe outside the door asking to see the general!" A soldier reported to Bi Sichen.

Bi Sichen was stunned: "Scribe? What does it look like? ”

The soldier described him as "in his forties, with a long beard, a thin face, thick eyebrows and big eyes······"

Bi Sichen frowned and said, "Why don't I have an impression of this person?" Forget it, go and invite him in! ”

"No!"

Soon, the soldier took the scribe out of the hall, and when the scribe saw Bi Sichen, he saluted him and said, "In Xia Liu Qinghe, meet General Bi!" ”

Bi Sichen said strangely: "Why don't I know Mr. in my life?" What is the matter with me, sir? ”

Liu Qinghedao: "The general will know after reading this letter!" ”

Bi Sichen took the envelope suspiciously, opened it and began to read the letter, and after reading it, he waved to the soldiers standing around: "Go down!" ”

The soldiers quickly walked cleanly, and Bi Sichen said to Liu Qinghe: "You are a person sent by Zhao Dashuai?" ”

"Yes!"

Bi Sichen asked, "Do you have anything specific to tell me?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Qinghe immediately conveyed Zhao Ziliang's original words to Bi Sichen.

After hearing this, Bi Sichen got up and measured his steps, and thought for a long time before saying to Liu Qinghe: "This matter is very important, and the general still needs to carefully consider one or two, so let's ask Mr. Liu to stay in our mansion for a few days, and tell you after the general has made another decision, what do you think?" ”

Liu Qinghe agreed: "Of course you can, this matter depends on whether General Bi is willing or not, and my marshal can't force it!" ”

Bi Sichen asked his subordinates to settle Liu Qinghe to live, his mind was active, he used to think that An Lushan's army was menacing, and it was a long-term elite soldier, and the imperial court had no soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and other places, and he couldn't resist the rebels' attack at all, in order to survive, he also analyzed the situation and chose to surrender the rebels, and he also worked hard and won An Lushan's trust.

But since last year, the Beiting Army returned to the military pass under the leadership of Zhao Ziliang to quell the rebellion, the situation has changed, the Yan army, which has always been invincible, has been defeated by the imperial army one after another, and at the end of last year, even the Tongguan Pass was lost, and this time it also lost 50,000 horses.
