Du Shiyi is back! Not only are the people back, but now the official residence is attacking the marshal, and the right to lead the soldiers and horses of Shuofang, Hedong, and Anbei three towns!

If this news is just a blow to An Qingxu and others who are stuck in Ye County, then the death of An Lushan, which the other party preached in turn, is the real blow that makes them really panic. Whether it's An Qingxu, Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing, of course these three insiders know that this kind of thing can't be hidden for a long time, but the problem is that just as the Tang army drove them to Hebei, if it is announced that His Majesty An Lushan, the Great Yan Emperor who has just ascended the throne, is he dead, will this military morale still be necessary?

What's worse is that this kind of thing is just announced by itself, but it is spread from the enemy. At the beginning, they went around preaching that Du Shiyi was killed by Li Longji, but now Du Shiyi has returned to Chang'an safely, but what can they do now, go to the big change and make an An Lushan to suppress the army's heart?

"What to do? Yan Xiangguo, Ashina Xiangguo, you guys give me ideas! ”

An Qingxu has not officially ascended the throne, let alone called a lonely widow, and now that the layer of window paper has been pierced at once, he only feels that the six gods have no master, and what he is most afraid of is a mutiny in the army. But as soon as he said this, he was glared at by Ashina Chengqing viciously.

"There is Li Guiren in the army who is loyal, of course they will be suppressed, instead of worrying that the news of His Majesty's death will have an impact on the army, the king should think about how to deal with the Tang army with Du Shiyi! Now is the time to divide the troops. In my opinion, I immediately ordered Cai Xide to leave some soldiers and horses to contain Changshan, and then immediately led the main force south to join the soldiers and horses of my Ye County, and concentrated all his strength on the decisive battle with Tangyin. ”

But before Ashina Chengqing's words came out, Yan Zhuang said angrily: "There are only thousands of soldiers and horses on the Changshan side, and they can go down in the near future, on the contrary, the high walls on the Yejun side are wide, and there is no danger of loss." If I wait to defend the city, and then order An Shouzhong to send an army north from Fuyang and Cai Xide to capture Changshan, then the entire Hebei Province can be completely integrated. Then, the king can order Cai Xide's army to go south to join forces with our army to fight against the Tang army, and then transpose and change the guard, so that it can be stationed in Ye County, and we will take the opportunity to get out, as long as we can return to Youzhou, with the king's righteous identity as the second son of His Majesty, you can ascend the throne as the emperor, and order the Youyan army, and the victory or defeat is uncertain! ”

"Scholar's opinion, Yan Zhuang, do you think Du Shiyi's reputation was given for nothing? Once Yejun loses the soldiers and horses of Fuyang An Shouzhong in the north, it will be given to Du Shiyi for nothing! Moreover, who is Shi Siming? When we return to Youzhou, it may not be known whether he will listen to our orders! ”

Seeing that Ashina Chengqing and Yan Zhuang were arguing like this, An Qingxu was dumbfounded. Although he is unwilling to be robbed of his status by An Qingen, he has ambition and no means, and he is the most unassertive person. In all fairness, of course, he hoped that he would not face the Tang army's troops alone in this Ye County, but he would let him divide his troops to fight Changshan with Cai Xide, and he was worried that Cai Xide would take the opportunity to seize power. When Ashina Chengqing angrily swept away his sleeves, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and went to Yan Zhuang and whispered: "Yan Xiangguo, family and everything is prosperous, what is better to discuss......

Yan Zhuang glanced at An Qingxu helplessly, and for the first time he felt that the mud couldn't support the wall. After An Lushan conquered Luoyang, he became more and more tyrannical, and even he, the prime minister, was whipped at every turn, coupled with the unfavorable war situation, he could only gamble desperately, so he instructed An Qingxu to come forward and let Li Zhu'er assassinate An Lushan. I thought that I could support An Qingxu to make a career, but who would have thought that Ashina Chengqing would realize his assassination so quickly, and insert a kick horizontally, and An Qingxu was so useless, and he hesitated at the critical moment!

"The king can rest in peace, I'll take care of the things outside. I'll go and discuss it with Li Guiren. ”

Even impatient and perfunctory An Qingxu for too long, Yan Zhuang said goodbye and left. Although Li Guiren and An Shouzhong joined forces to set up an ambush before, so that the soldiers and horses in Hedong planted a big fight, and even Cheng Qianli was almost defeated and captured, but now that Du Shiyi has just arrived in Tangyin County, he reversed the low morale of the Tang army, and then threw out the big news that An Lushan was dead, which made his own army unstable. Even if the battle situation on the Youzhou side has not yet fallen into a complete disadvantage, but Changshan County, which is firmly nailed to the center of several official roads in Hebei, is simply like a fish in the throat, and it must be removed, but Ashina Chengqing still wants to transfer Cai Xide's soldiers and horses to resist Tangyin's enemy first.

Isn't it because I fell in love with the strength of Cai Xide's army and wanted to take the opportunity to swallow and strengthen myself, but is this the time to fight for power and profit?

"Xiangguo!"

As soon as Yan Zhuang walked outside, an entourage quickly stepped forward, came to his side and lowered his voice: "Tang Yin has released news again, recruiting Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe, and that Du Shiyi personally acted as a guarantor, saying that he would spare their lives. ”

"What?"

At this time, Yan Zhuang was really shocked. If Cui Qianyou and the others still have a large army, then it is natural for Du Shiyi to use such a surrender strategy to divide the rebels. But now even if Cui Qianyou and the other three are alive, it is already great that there are dozens or hundreds of people around them, and such a person Du Shiyi has to surrender, which is simply a thousand dollars buying horse bones, releasing a clear and clear signal to himself!

Those who descend will not die!

He himself is already extremely unoptimistic about the shape of the rebels, not to mention that the Xi people and the Khitan side have completely cut off the news, it is said that the hinterland was swept by the Dubo Huaiyi Khan, and now the Xi and Khitan people in the army have long been unwilling to fight. If it weren't for this, going back to his homeland wouldn't solve any problems, he instructed An Qingxu to make countless promises, and made a lot of money looted from Luoyang, maybe I don't know how many people became deserters! And now Du Shiyi has recruited Cui Qianyou and the three of them, in addition to beware of Tangyin's enemy attacking, there is another thing to add, that is, beware of the defection of the generals!

When Yan Zhuang learned the news, Ashina Chengqing, Li Guiren, An Shouzhong, and the high-level civil and military officials in the rebels all knew about it. Cui Qianyou and the three of them were very favored by An Lushan at the beginning, so seeing that they attacked Chang'an after entering the Guanzhong, they came back in disgrace, and they were severely whipped by An Lushan, and the people who gloated were actually the majority, and they were the same, but now the situation is different, if Cui Qianyou and the three are really recruited by Du Shiyi, the morale of the army will definitely change greatly.

As this news spread, even An Shouzhong, who has always been on the same level as Cui Qianyou, but who is at odds with him, is not good at these tricks, but because of his noble ascension, he also understands the article after this trick. But before they could negotiate a charter, it was reported that the Tang army servant Gu Huaien on Tangyin's side sent a surprise attack, and the rebel division stationed in Chou Sigang only escaped a few dozen people! In the blink of an eye, the Tang army came to the city again!

This was the first battle after Du Shiyi returned to the front line, and the morale of the three armies was high and the fighting spirit was high. When the mighty soldiers and horses drove to the city of Anyang, Du Shiyi rode a horse and stood under the banner of Shuai, seeing the banner of the rebel army Dayan at the head of the city, among the swords and guns, the figures of countless generals running back and forth, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then looked at the Huya who came to meet him from under the tent of Fugu Huaien after he arrived in Anyang City.

"Since Xiao Xue has escaped safely, that card can be played."

Huya thought of the Xue Dynasty who had escaped to Yongqiu to join him, and couldn't help but secretly appreciate the exploits of this Xue disciple behind enemy lines this time. Although this is not a great achievement to capture the flag, it is the real great achievement to protect the officials and the people. Thinking that now that the person had taken the official inspection and rushed back to Dubo from Hedong via Yunzhou, he quickly retracted his thoughts: "Yes, I have been pinching this person for so long, and the marshal has brought him out of Beijing this time, of course it can come in handy." It's just that although this person has a deep relationship with An Lushan, he has kept Chang'an for many years, and he is afraid that the rebels may not be able to throw themselves into the trap because of this person in the hands of the marshal. ”

"I don't want them to throw a rat trap, as long as it can further upset the morale of the rebels."

Speaking of this, Du Shiyi ordered someone to call Li Huaiyu. Seeing that Hou Xiyi, a young cousin, was full of anxiety, he said in a deep voice: "Since it was your idea, I will give you ten sergeants with loud voices, and you escort An Qingzong to the city to shout!" ”

Li Huaiyu didn't expect Du Shiyi to be honest before, and almost didn't bare out of his eyes. Previously, when he was in Chang'an, he and Xue Song were shoehorned into a task by Du Shiyi to formulate a Hebei strategy, and the two of them only knew a part of the battle situation on the front line, and they were full of confusion about the overall situation.

It was Li Huaiyu who saw that nothing had been accomplished, so he thought of a way in a hurry, that is, to find out An Qingzong, who had previously kept Chang'an in Chang'an but disappeared at the critical moment, and then escorted him to the front of the battle to persuade the enemy to surrender. Who knew that when Du Shiyi asked about him and Xue Song after he was free, he said such an idea, Du Shiyi was noncommittal at that time, and he really remembered it in his heart, and when he set off this time, he didn't know what method he used to find out An Qingzong and Liu Luogu, who had escaped for a long time. But after he arrived in Tangyin, when Du Shiyi asked him to tell Guo Ziyi and Fugu Huaien the plan, he knew that Du Shiyi was serious!

"Marshal ......"

"Why don't you go soon?"

Li Huaiyu was still a little gloating when he saw Xue Song receiving orders to recruit his younger brother Xue Wei and other rebels, but at this moment, he was complaining about his own distress. Seeing that the wood was already in the boat, he could only reluctantly obey the arrangement, and took An Qingzong and Liu Luogu, who had been washed cleanly, and ten sergeants to the front of the whole army.

Compared with Li Huaiyu's anxiety, An Qingzong and Liu Luogu had already accepted their fate. Before the news of An Lushan's rebellion reached Chang'an, Liu Luogu planned to flee quietly, but who knew that An Qingzong found out the clues, and he must be asked to bring himself and Mrs. Kang. Liu Luogu couldn't, so he could only arrange the escape route painstakingly, who knew that the mansion that he had arranged in his early years and thought he was unaware of ghosts had already fallen into the control of others, and he and Mrs. Kang's mother and son were actually caught in the net! was locked up for several months, and he still didn't know who the other party was, so he was taken here by Du Shiyi in the tooth soldiers.

Just when he was panicking, he only heard a voice in his ear: "Gongzi An, it's your turn!" ”

Fortunately, there is an An Qingzong with a higher status than him!
