Of course, Sun Xiaozhe is also extremely afraid of death, especially at this time, if An Lushan no longer favors him, then he will definitely die, he kowtowed again and again and asked for sin: "Your Majesty, the last general knows that he deserves to die, and the responsibility for defeat cannot be shirked!" But the last general definitely doesn't think that he is incompetent, and it's not that the soldiers are too bad, but that the enemy army is too capable and cunning! ”

The general Neng Yuanhao stood up and accused: "Hmph, increase the morale of others and destroy your own prestige!" Sun Xiaozhe, you are still exculpating yourself now, Zhao Ziliang wants to send people to stay in the camp, there are only more than 20,000 people who can really be dispatched, and you have an army of 100,000, and you have 10,000 elite horsemen in a head-on battle, but in this case you were killed and defeated, it's not that you are incompetent? ”

Sun Xiaozhe jumped up angrily and scolded: "Neng Yuanhao, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, the more than 20,000 in Zhao Ziliang's hands are all elite cavalry who have experienced a hundred battles, and there are thousands of ironclad heavy cavalry, these ironclad heavy cavalry rushed over, it was simply a god blocking and killing God, plus a large number of light cavalry shot in turn on the left and right wings of our Chinese army, my 10,000 elite cavalry couldn't stop it at all, the opponent's iron cavalry was wrapped in thick iron armor all over his body, invulnerable, and the spear array was crushed by them in one fell swoop, and the 20,000 sword and shield soldiers faced this kind of iron cavalry like paper paste, It has no effect at all, and this kind of battle is a fiasco no matter who commands it! ”

An Lushan knows Sun Xiaozhe very well, he knows that although Sun Xiaozhe is very arrogant, he acts very strictly, and never talks about human feelings, such people generally will not excuse themselves, since Sun Xiaozhe dares to say this, it can only show that the army under Zhao Ziliang is really powerful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

An Lushan is not a person who easily trusts others, he looked at Yin Ziqi and asked, "Yin Ziqi, what was the situation at that time?" ”

Yin Ziqi clenched his fists and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, colleagues, it is not that the last general will exonerate General Sun and himself, nor is it that the last general wants to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, the cavalry under the command of Zhao Ziliang is too powerful, Your Majesty has not seen it with his own eyes, if it is our cavalry, as long as there are more than a thousand people, it will inevitably lead to scattered formations when galloping at high speed, but the cavalry under the command of Zhao Ziliang can maintain consistent movements and neat formation even if 10,000 horses gallop collectively, and their cavalry is extremely skilled in controlling horses, The art of riding and archery is difficult to match even if the barbarians on the grassland are afraid, especially the thousands of ironclad heavy cavalry, the momentum of the sprint is simply indescribable, when they rush in front of them, the last general thinks that no one in this world has the courage to face it! 20,000 sword and shield soldiers did not wait for these thousands of ironclad heavy cavalry to rush to the front of the frightened instant, at the critical moment, Zhao Ziliang also sent a partial division to touch the rear of our army camp by some means, and suddenly attacked the camp, the soldiers saw the smoke billowing above the camp, and they all collapsed on the spot! If you really want the last general to say something in his heart, if it is a field battle, let alone only 100,000 people, even if it is doubled, even if 200,000 people face Zhao Ziliang's 20,000 iron cavalry, they can't hold a face, this kind of battle is definitely not something that can be won with more people! ”

An Lushan frowned and said, "Zhao Ziliang's soldiers and horses are so powerful? ”

Yin Ziqi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty should know what the combat power of Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu's men is, right?" The two of them were under Zhao Ziliang back then, and even they themselves said that they only learned 20% of the skills in Zhao Ziliang's hands, and now how many people can compare with their army command and training methods in our army? ”

An Lushan remembered that a few years ago, he watched the drills of the Datong Army and the Mobei Army in Datong and Mobei respectively, and at that time he did his best to win over and buy Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu, according to Yin Ziqi, this Zhao Ziliang is really difficult to deal with!

After being silent for a while, An Lushan looked at Sun Xiaozhe, it stands to reason that Sun Xiaozhe returned from a fiasco this time, and he should have been beheaded, but he really couldn't kill Sun Xiaozhe, the reason was Sun Xiaozhe's mother! An Lushan had such a leg with Sun Xiaozhe's mother when he was young, he was very fond of his grandmother, he also liked Sun Xiaozhe very much under the love house and Wu, and he was particularly fond of him, and now his grandmother is still alive, if he kills Sun Xiaozhe, how to explain when he sees his old lover in the future?

Just when An Lushan was riding a tiger, Prime Minister Gao Shang saw An Lushan's dilemma, he laughed secretly in his heart, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, General Yin's words are not unreasonable, the field combat ability of the Beiting Army is too strong, and our army was unjustly defeated in this battle, fortunately, most of the 100,000 horses lost this time are the Tang Army that surrendered, and if it is lost, it will be lost, and the main force of our army is still there, Your Majesty should not worry!" In addition, we have also tested the combat power of the Beiting Army through this time, so we should be more careful in the future! Although General Sun and General Yin were defeated, they were not guilty to death, and now that our dynasty is at the time of employing people, plus they also had many Miyase in the past, it is better to allow them to wear their guilt and make meritorious contributions! ”

As the prime minister, of course, there is a group of officials under him, and these officials have stood up to echo him, An Lushan has a step down, naturally happy, and immediately said: "Okay, since there is a high prime minister and the ministers to intercede for you, I will spare you this time, Sun Xiaozhe, you will stay in the court as a palace eunuch and idle stable envoy, since Yin Qizhi, I ordered you to lead the troops to attack Yongqiu!" ”

Yin Ziqi immediately agreed: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

An Lushan is still very appreciative and optimistic about Yin Ziqi's ability to lead troops to fight, although Yin Ziqi returned from a fiasco as Sun Xiaozhe's deputy general this time, An Lushan still trusts and is optimistic about Yin Ziqi.

At this time, the Yan army's eastward advance was blocked by Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun and others in Yongqiu, and the Yan army general Ling Hu Chao, Li Huaixian, Yang Chaozong, Xie Yuan and others were leading an army of 40,000 to storm Yongqiu, but because there were Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and others stationed in Yongqiu County, Zhang Xun was resourceful and tenacious, and Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun and others had the courage of ten thousand people, so that Hu Chao, Li Huaixian and others could not attack for a long time.

Linghu Chao was originally the order of Yongqiu County, after the arrival of the An Lushan rebels, he led the garrison in the city to surrender, and also helped the rebels to attack Tang Junzhou County, and later Zhenyuan County ordered Zhang Xun and Shan County Lieutenant Jia Ben and other cavalry to respond to the call of the imperial court to attack the rebels, all the way to Yongqiu, and took advantage of the fact that Linghu Chao went to meet the Yan army general Li Tingwang to recapture Yongqiu in one fell swoop.

An Lushan was about to announce the dispersal of the dynasty, when a Hongling messenger rushed to the palace and bowed down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Tongguan is eight hundred miles urgent, more than 20,000 people of the Tang army have arrived at the city of Tongguan, and the general of the army is the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, the secretary of the military department, the capital of Beiting, and the envoy of the camp Zhao Ziliang!" ”

An Lushan gasped, "Why did he, Tang Jun come so quickly?" He just swallowed 100,000 horses from me, and before he could digest it, he directly forced Tongguan, isn't he afraid of dying? ”

Prime Minister Yan Zhuang stood up at this time and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, most of the 100,000 horses are the Tang Army that originally surrendered to our army, and it is not surprising to surrender again this time, Zhao Ziliang doesn't need to send people to keep an eye on them, he only needs to replace a few major generals, and he can immediately go to the battlefield to fight!" Now we still have to strengthen the Tongguan garrison, Pujin Pass has been lost, Tongguan is lost again, Luoyang will be a little dangerous! ”

An Lushan frowned and asked, "Tongguan now only has 5,000 men, is it too thin?" ”

Tian Chengsi stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Tongguan is dangerous, even if its defensive strength is in the east, it is not so easy for the Tang army to capture the western city wall, but it is more certain to increase some troops to defend, General Li Guiren has a strict temperament, and he guards Tongguan, even if the Tang army is commanded by Zhao Dashuai to attack the city, it is not possible to capture it in a short time." And what we have to be careful about is not Tongguan, what we have to be careful about is to prevent the Tang army from coming out of Pujin Pass to cross the river and attack Shaanxi County! ”

Being reminded by Tian Chenghe, An Lushan suddenly hit a spirit, and immediately asked someone to bring the Kanyu map, and the generals and courtiers of the Yan army looked at the map and found that if the Tang army sent troops from Pujin Pass, it could not only threaten Anyi, but also take a boat along the Yellow River to the east to skip Lingbao and attack Shaanxi County! Once Shaanxi County is lost, the Tang army can directly threaten Luoyang!

After all, An Lushan has been a military envoy and a festival envoy for so many years, and he is a person who knows the soldiers, so he immediately issued an order: "Give Tongguan Li Guiren 10,000 more troops!" Neng Yuanhao, I will give you 10,000 people, you will guard Shaanxi County for me, if something goes wrong, you will come to see you! ”

"Yes!"

An Lushan thought of Wu Lingxun and Bi Sichen and others who were attacking Nanyang in the south, and asked, "How is Wu Lingxun and Bi Sichen progressing in Nanyang?" ”

Yan Zhuang stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, General Wu and General Bi are still storming Nanyang, but Lu Jiong, the envoy of Shannan Jiedu and the defender of Nanyang, is extremely stubborn, has rich experience in defending the city, and the soldiers under his command are using their lives, and it is difficult for the two generals to capture Nanyang for a while!" ”

Since An Lushan rebelled, Xuanzong ordered Bi Sichen to go to Luoyang to recruit troops to defend against the enemy, but he was soon defeated and captured by the rebel general Cui Qianyou, so he surrendered An Lushan, An Lushan reused it, and ordered him to be Wu Lingxun's deputy general, accompanied Wu Lingxun to the south, first defeated Lu Jiong in the water, and then followed Wu Lingxun all the way to pursue Lu Jiong to Nanyang, and the two sides were deadlocked under Nanyang City.

Lu Jiong was originally the general of Longyou, because he followed Ge Shuhan to forcibly capture the stone fort city and was promoted to the general of Wuwei, and then led the troops to raid the Tubo army, because of the merit promoted to the right leading general, after the An Lushan rebellion, he was named Shannan Jiedu envoy, Nanyang Taishou and other positions, commanding Lingnan, Qianzhong, Shannan Dongdao 50,000 troops.

An Lushan frowned and said, "This Wu Lingxun, why is it progressing so slowly?" Let him speed up the progress of the attack and take Nanyang as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!"

An Lushan asked again: "What progress has been made in the north?" ”

Yan Zhuang said: "At present, Gao Xiuyan's troops are besieging the city of Dongshou, Guo Ziyi led his troops to defend it, the Tang army's city walls are strong and tall, most of Gao Xiuyan's commands are cavalry, and he cherishes the lives of his soldiers, so he does not dare to attack the city with all his might; And our army in the Changshan area has made a breakthrough, Shi Siming and Cai Xide, two generals, attacked from the north and south, defeated Li Guangbi's department, Li Guangbi retreated to Taiyuan, the two generals in front of him are reorganizing the troops and horses, raising grain and grass to prepare for the western attack to fight Taiyuan, once our army in the north of Taiyuan is taken, the whole battle situation will be much more beneficial to our army! ”

An Lushan nodded, Yan Zhuang said well, if Taiyuan is captured in the north, then there will be no other military forces of the Tang army in the entire Hedong, the Yan army can assist Gao Xiuyan to attack Guo Ziyi in the north, Zhao Ziliang can be attacked in the south, and the Yellow River can be crossed to attack the Hequ area in the west, and even the old nest Lingwu of the Shuofang army will be attacked in the west, and the whole game of chess will be alive!
