Chapter 701: Chaos Rises
When this matter reached Wang Yuan's ears through Mrs. Qin's letter, Wang Yuan stomped his feet and cursed. Yang Guozhong, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", did not know the consequences of his actions, he thought that it was just an act of eliminating dissidents, but he did not know that he was facing a fierce beast. This beast was about to bite, and Yang Guozhong's move was obviously forcing the beast to go crazy in advance. Not only does he have to deal with An Lushan, but he can't do it thoroughly, An Lushan has such a good opportunity to come to Beijing but can't be categorically intercepted, this is Yang Guozhong's incompetence.
For Wang Yuan, he hoped that An Lushan's rebellion would come as late as possible, because the recruits of the Jiannan Army and the Longyou Army had not yet achieved the consequences he hoped to achieve. Moreover, the combination of classes is only slightly rudimentary, and it will take longer to take shape. Although it has been more than seven months since the recruitment of troops last year, the total number of troops of the two armies of Jiannan and Longyou has long been full, and the training of the recruits is also being carried out in a hurry. The hoarding of food supplies has also been accelerated. The armament of weapons and armor is also tending to take shape. But there is still not enough time, Wang Yuan hopes to give himself another year or two, and then the soldiers and horses in his hands can become an elite soldier. However, Yang Guozhong made such a fuss, I am afraid that An Lushan will immediately rebel.
Bad news followed, and in mid-September, Mrs. Qin wrote to Wang Yuan again to inform him that Yang Guozhong was planning to replace An Lushan with Zhang Qiu and Qiong to take back the post of Jiedu envoy of Hedong Province. The reason is that An Lushan defends both the Khitan and the east. The Turks are afraid that they are inadequate, and one person is also responsible for the three knots, which is afraid that it will be disadvantageous for defense. Therefore, it is necessary to take back the position of the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu from the hands of An Lushan, and recommend the hands of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, the former envoy of the Jiannan Jiedu.
Hearing the news, Wang Yuan was even more speechless. It is obviously impossible to seize the east of the river from An Lushan, and this will make An Lushan step up his rebellion. An Lushan would not allow Yang Guozhong to weaken the forces in his hands.
As things progressed, the courtiers seconded Yang Guozhong's proposal to cause great pressure on Xuanzong, and under this pressure, Xuanzong ordered people to go to Fanyang to ask An Lushan's opinion, and wanted to discuss with An Lushan, which meant that if An Lushan wanted to settle the matter, he would hand over Hedong Dao. This move finally made An Lushan unbearable, and An Lushan immediately said that he would simply hand over the posts of Fan Yang Jiedu envoy and Pinglu Jiedu envoy to Hedongdao, and he would be cleaned up.
Of course, this is angry talk, which means to tell Xuanzong that he will never agree. However, after Yang Guozhong found out about this matter, he publicized it, saying that An Lushan used this to blackmail His Majesty and refused to accept the appointment and dismissal order of the imperial court. He also said that An Lushan was going to resign from the post of Fan Yang's Pinglu and Liangdao Jiedu envoys, and wanted to blackmail the imperial court, but he didn't know that the court was full of talents, and An Lushan thought that he was the only one who could guard the northeast border town.
The naΓ―ve Yang Guozhong thought that relying on these means of running on would be able to provoke An Lushan to resign from his position as the envoy of the three festivals. Don't you know that this move finally angered An Lushan, who endured nearly two months of ridicule and ridicule and remained silent, and finally completed the peace with the Khitan people at the end of October. The Turkic tribes negotiated and reached an offensive and defensive alliance with them to send troops together.

On the ninth day of November in the eighth year of Datang Tianbao, Chang'an City ushered in an ordinary cold morning in winter. When the morning bell struck and the people were starting a busy day's livelihood, in the inner palace of Xingqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong was lazily getting up from the warm brocade quilt and preparing to participate in the new music concert presented by the concubine in the calyx floor in the morning.
"Lushan came to the Tang Dynasty to guard the border towns for the Tang Dynasty, and did not dare to relax a little. Running around in the smoke every day, dying on the battlefield, suffering a hundred wounds without any complaints, and going through thousands of deaths without a word. The grace of the Son of Heaven is often remembered in his heart, and the grace of the dynasty is not dared or forgotten. I was going to report to the people of An Li under the emperor's grace with a mediocre body, but what I saw and heard, and what I experienced made my teeth cold and my heart cold, and I sighed. Today, I am the Tang Dynasty, the traitor is in charge, the Yang family is a door, and he holds the sky with one hand. Treachery is rampant, loyalty and goodness are in trouble, ghosts and ghosts are rampant in the court, and ghosts and demons dance in the Chang'an Palace. The Yang family is the first evil country loyal, evil flattery, slander loyalty, doubt and listening, then live in power, scratch the heavens, Weifu freedom, and have knowledge and mouth. Doing things that are framing flattery for personal gain, and doing the act of opening a museum and killing corpses and betraying morality. Yang family sisters, kinky. Flattery and morality, stigma spread in the world, and the world is all sideways. Staining the palace, seducing the present, the disaster of the Yang family, and the difficulty of the world. The world of the Tang Dynasty, thousands of horses are together, this is the sorrow of heaven and earth, and the sorrow is greater than the death of the heart. Today, Lushan is worried about the danger of the country, and is willing to do the great things of the world, and the secret edict is to crusade against Yang Guozhong to clear the monarch's side, and kill Yang's enchantment to correct the country's voice, the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the beginning of today. I hope that the people of the world will understand my heart of An Lushan, help me An Lushan, Qingjun side, Zhengguo Sheng, and return me to the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty, Qianqiu Qingming! β
The short text of less than 400 words is sonorous and powerful, and the words are like knives. An Lushan portrayed himself as a loyal minister and good general who was born and died for the Tang Dynasty, and had no regrets for the nine deaths of the Tang Dynasty. However, the Yang family in the middle of the court caused chaos and bewitched the emperor, so he asked the Qing monarch to lead the army to defeat Yang Guozhong. Moreover, An Lushan also told a big lie, saying that this military crusade was acting on the secret order of Xuanzong, and set up a righteous division for his rebellion to serve the public. The purpose of this is naturally to subdue the generals and soldiers who do not know the truth, so that they will think that this crusade is carried out by the emperor's orders, and they will no longer have other ideas.
This article is full of brilliant and lies, and it is from the hand of Yan Zhuang, the first adviser under An Lushan, who racked his brains for several days and nights to write this article, thinking that the reason is sufficient and the writing is brilliant, which is almost comparable to the text of King Luo Bin to ask Wu Cao.
An Lushan finally began a huge adventure in his life, with nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in the three towns of Hedong, Fanyang, and Pinglu, and nearly 80,000 troops allied with the Hu tribes in the north such as Xi, Khitan, Murowei, and Turkic, forming the 28th Coalition Army. Externally known as the 400,000 army, the mighty army was divided into two routes, all the way to the southwest sweep, all the way to the west to take Taiyuan, the two armies to the horn of the momentum straight to Luoyang.
β¦β¦
Three days later, it snowed heavily in Chang'an. In the midst of the heavy snowfall, the news of An Lushan's rebellion arrived in Chang'an.
In the political hall, Yang Guozhong was following the general ministers around the stove to talk about the graceful dancing of the orchids of the wine shop in Chang'an West City, commenting on the higher color art of the Qingguan in Pingkangfang, the small official of the political hall rushed into the warm public house with a cold wind, and without waiting for Yang Guozhong to scold, the little official sent an official document to Yang Guozhong's hands.
Yang Guozhong opened the official document and only glanced at it, and the rippling smile on his face condensed into ice, falling off piece by piece, and it seemed that he could hear the cracking sound of his smile when it landed. Yang Guozhong's face turned pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his breathing was almost frozen.
The officials asked Yang Guozhong in surprise what happened, and Yang Guozhong left without saying a word, urging the servants to prepare their horses. The horse was ready, Yang Guozhong climbed several times and slipped down, the servant was busy holding his ass and easily sent him on horseback, Yang Guozhong rode the horse into the snow.
In a corner of the hundred gardens of Xingqing Palace, the plum blossoms are blooming. Xuanzong accompanied the concubine to stand in the snow to enjoy the plum blossoms, and the authentic product said that this year's plum blossoms bloomed earlier than in previous years and were more beautiful than previous years. Suddenly, they saw a staggering figure on the snow-covered path next to the Agarwood Pavilion. The man slipped and got up and up on the path, and then slipped and got up again, looking very embarrassed.
"Who's that? I won't be able to walk any way. Xuanzong laughed.
"It's like a cousin, it's a cousin, why are you so embarrassed?" Yang Guifei frowned.
Xuanzong laughed and said, "What's wrong with Guozhong?" Do you want to perform a Hu Xuan dance for me? Hu Xuanwu is still the best dance of An Lushan, but he can't do it. β
Yang Guozhong, who fell countless times while speaking, his forehead was bruised, and his body was covered with mud and snow, finally came closer, and his pale face fell to his knees with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister Yang Guozhong has seen Your Majesty." β
Xuanzong smiled in surprise and said, "Guozhong, what's wrong with you?" Flipping his head and coming, are you playing monkey play? Didn't I say it, you don't need to salute when you meet on weekdays, you are the cousin of the concubine, we are a family. β
Yang Guozhong was speechless, and handed over Zou Baba's official document with both hands. Xuanzong frowned and asked, "What is this?" β
Yang Guozhong couldn't hold back any longer, and exclaimed sadly: "Your Majesty, An Lushan...... An Lushan, the dog thief...... He...... It's the other way around. β
Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What do you say, you say it again." β
Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said: "An Lushan is rebellious, the news is true, this is an official document sent from Weizhou, and there is also a text of An Lushan's rebellion. An Lushan is really the opposite. β
Xuanzong's body shook, and a blooming plum blossom in his hand suddenly slipped down and slowly fell on the snow.
(PS: This Chinese text has hurt countless brain cells, and all the classical Chinese I learned before have been returned to the teacher.) The text is generally written in the form of fu, which pays attention to the momentum and brilliance, and the scolding is also hearty and exciting. It's a pity that my level is limited, so I can only express my meaning. The level is not enough, and the ability is limited, so it can only be done here. οΌ
