Chapter 162: General Tongluo
After coming to Luoyang, Ling Huchao and Ma Sui could only lurk among the ruins and walls, quietly looking for opportunities. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Luoyang City, it is either Yan Zhuang's cronies or Ashina Chengqing's cronies. Ling Huchao didn't dare to believe anyone in Fan Yang's army, the only thing he could believe was Cai Xide, but Cai Xide was stationed in Changshan and led his troops to confront Wang Chengye in Hedong, in case the Tang army waited for an opportunity to go out of Jingcheng Pass and attack Hebei.
Even if it is noble, Ling Fox Chao does not dare to believe it easily. Noble and arrogant, he doesn't have much personal affection with Ling Fox Chao, and he doesn't have much contact on weekdays. Moreover, Ling Huchao knew that An Lushan conspired against the emperor, and Gao Shang was the most hardcore follower and agitator, and it was almost impossible to dissuade An Lushan from becoming the emperor through Gao Shang!
In five days, in Luoyang Palace, under the guidance of Da Xixun, the rehearsal of the enthronement ceremony was in full swing.
Nada Xi Xun is worthy of being a waiter in the Ministry of Rites for ten years, and he is extremely familiar with Zhou Li, and some procedures are adhering to the etiquette and evidence.
There is news that the rehearsal of the ceremony is going very smoothly, if nothing else, An Lushan will officially ascend the throne the day after tomorrow!
In other words, there are less than two days left for Ling Huchao and Ma Sui.
Once An Lushan officially ascended the throne and became emperor, it was impossible to persuade An Lushan to give up the throne!
Even if An Lushan figured it out and wanted to give up, it was impossible!
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will never forgive a rebel who has already claimed the title of emperor! And Fan Yang will not agree to An Lushan's abdication!
The reason is very simple, the soldiers will never give up the position of general and prime minister that they have already reached!
They can only go all the way to the dark - to fight to the end with the Tang Dynasty!
This is an important reason why An Lushan is eager to claim the title of emperor - being the emperor can kidnap people's hearts!
Ling Fox Chao and Ma Sui, only to take risks!
They thought of Ashina Chengyi.
Ashina Chengyi is Ashina Chengqing's younger brother.
Ashina Chengqing is a figure in the Fan Yang army, second only to An Lushan, An Lushan has already revealed that once he is called the emperor, he is long live, Ashina Chengqing is 8,000 years old!
The Praetorian Guards guarding Luoyang Palace are composed of the elite of Fan Yang's army, and they are from three systems: the second son An Qingxu's troops, the military advisor Yan Zhuang from all over the country, and then the Ashina Chengqing and Luo warriors. Among them, Ashina Chengyi is the commander of the Tongluo army.
As one of the generals of the forbidden army, Ashina Chengyi can help Ling Hu Chao enter Luoyang Palace.
Ling Fox Chao once saved Ashina Chengyi's life!
Liaodong Tongluo people, strong temperament, dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty, and fought against the Tang Dynasty Fan Yang Army all the year round. An Lushan served in the army in Fanyang, from the commander to the Jiedu envoy, and fought hundreds of times with the Tongluo people, and he can be regarded as an old opponent.
During the Tianbao period, the internal division of the Tongluo people, Li Riyue accepted the surname of the Tang Dynasty court, led the troops to join the court, and Ashina Chengqing and Li Riyue were enemies, the two sides clashed many times, Li Riyue relied on the support of the Tang Dynasty, and gradually gained the upper hand, Ashina Chengqing was invincible, so he sent his younger brother Ashina Chengyi to An Lushan army to pray for the protection of An Lushan.
An Lushan has a brutal personality and has always looked down on the Tongluo people, and the two sides have also formed a grudge against the Tongluo people after years of war. Therefore, when An Lushan heard that the Tongluo people were coming, he didn't ask about it, and he didn't see it, so he ordered someone to tie up Ashina Chengyi and pull him out and cut off his head.
However, he ordered Fox Chao to intercede in front of An Lushan, and persuaded An Lushan to spare Ashina Chengyi's life, and first listen to him talk about the purpose of this trip, if what he said is not reasonable, it is not too late to kill.
An Lushan ordered someone to release Ashina Chengyi from the ghost head knife.
When An Lushan saw Ashina Chengyi, he knew that he was ready to surrender to An Lushan with Luo Ashina. Despite this, An Lushan did not intend to accept Ashina Chengqing's surrender, in his opinion, Ashina Chengqing was just desperate and temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet.
It was Linghu Chao who persuaded him bitterly, and then he said that An Lushan was moved and accepted the Ashina tribe.
Facts have proved that An Lushan's acceptance of Ashinabu is a wise move. Although the Ashina tribe is not many in number, it is the most powerful group of people among the Tongluo people, after being attached to An Lushan, it has become the weapon of the Fanyang army, and An Lushan dominates Liaodong, mainly relying on the Tongluo iron cavalry of Ashina Chengqing. After the Ashina tribe entered the Fanyang Army, they had An Lushan as their backer, and they also got rid of the dilemma of being wiped out by Li Riyue.
Ling Huchao not only saved Ashina Chengyi's life, but also was kind to the entire Ashina tribe.
Therefore, Ling Huchao's request for Ashina Chengyi's help to enter Luoyang Palace cannot be said to be too risky.
Sure enough, after Ling Huchao found Ashina Chengyi, he asked him to help him enter the palace to meet An Lushan, and Ashina Chengyi agreed.
Despite this, Ma Sui was still not at ease, and reminded Ashina Chengyi that this matter was very important, and he must strictly keep it confidential, even to his own brother Ashina Chengqing, and he must keep his mouth shut.
Ashina swore to heaven that he would never leak the slightest rumor. Ling Huchao and Ma Sui changed into the clothes and armor of the forbidden army, mixed in the Tongluo Praetorian Guard, and quietly blended into the Luoyang Palace.
It is easy to enter Luoyang Palace, but it still takes a lot of trouble to see An Lushan.
The middle hall of Luoyang Palace confronts each other, and the buildings stand in a forest. There are 35 well-known palaces, plus those supporting side halls and pavilions, there are more than 100 buildings.
Ashina Chengyi didn't know where An Lushan would stay at night.
An Lushan's whereabouts, even Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu don't know!
An Lushan doesn't trust anyone!
The only thing he really believed in was the Falling River!
Not only is the combat power outstanding, but all of them have the status of father and son with him! They are people who are really willing to go up and down the sea of fire for An Lushan!
It can be said that a large part of An Lushan's self-confidence comes from the loyalty of the Luoluo River!
However, in the first battle of Changshan, his Luoluo River was completely annihilated by Yan Gaoqing!
In the first battle of the rebellion, An Lushan lost all his cronies and warriors!
He had to turn on centaurs whose loyalty was questionable.
Because of this, An Lushan, after entering Luoyang Palace, was always suspicious!
His whereabouts in Luoyang Palace, especially his residence at night, have become top secrets in the palace!
According to Ling Huchao's plan, after the two entered Luoyang Palace, they could only take stupid methods to search one palace after another. Fortunately, the two of them still have more than a day to go, and with Ashina Chengyi as a cover, the two can pretend to be Tongluo guards and slowly investigate in the palace.
However, tonight's luck was surprisingly good, not long after entering the palace, a Tongluo guard who had just retired from duty quietly told Ashina Chengyi that at sunset, he saw An Lushan's car driving to the Yaoguang Hall in Jiuzhou Pond.
So, Ashina Chengyi took Ling Huchao and Ma Sui, quietly found a painting boat, and waded to the Yaoguang Palace.
The surface of the lake is pitch black, only the faint lights of the Yaoguang Hall in the center of the lake are reflected, which is very lonely.
