Chapter 1225: Children and grandchildren are like dogs
Changshan County ruled Zhending City, and after Fugu Huaien joined up with the reinforcements from Hedong and recovered here, he had been hoping that Shi Siming, who was sitting in Youzhou, would be able to react strongly, and it was best to personally lead the army to fight him. But the result was that he was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and hoped that Guo Ziyi and Cheng Qianli's army would arrive to join him, but Fan Yang became a shrunken turtle, and there was not even a single movement. Therefore, after Du Shiyi also led the rear army to arrive, he couldn't help but complain that Shi Siming was in vain.
"Your servant general is running from afar, and the momentum is like a bamboo, even Cai Xide, a general, is also running away under your iron hooves, if Shi Siming dares to attack rashly, he is not afraid of being raided?"
Fugu Huaien is soft by nature and does not eat hard, plus he was pulled up by Du Shiyi, and when he heard the coach's praise at this moment, he smiled and was in good spirits. Fu Gu Dang, who was following Du Shiyi, was used to seeing these two faces of his father, and couldn't help but secretly sigh, but Cheng Qianli, who went out to greet him, had seen a lot of Fu Gu Huaien majestic in front of the generals below, but his words and deeds were completely different at this time, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
When Cheng Qianli also saw Du Shiyi, and Yan Gaoqing behind him stepped forward to salute, Du Shiyi personally helped people up: "Changshan has been besieged for more than a month, and the army and civilians have been fighting endlessly, and finally Cai Xide'an has returned from loyalty in vain, and Brother Yan has made great contributions." I only hate that the Yejun rebels once delayed the pace of the army, so they couldn't be rescued, and I was at fault. ”
Yan Gaoqing This is the first time she has met Du Shiyi so closely. There are many children of the Yan family, many of whom are famous people like Yan Zhenqing, in contrast, he has been stumbling on the road of Enyin to become an official, not to mention that he is far from the word "famous minister", and he has always been a subordinate official at first. If it weren't for An Lushan's repeated promotions, he would probably still be hovering on the low grade when he was over sixty years old. He did not serve as a Beijing official in Chang'an, only during the Hajj he was fortunate to return to Beijing several times, and each time he danced with the general stream to celebrate the New Year, and the class and Du Shiyi did not know how far apart. But now it was only the first time he had talked, and he only felt that the distance had been shortened all of a sudden.
"The rebel army in Yejun is strong, the marshal can divide his troops all the way, and the old general Fugu is running day and night to relieve the siege of Changshan, and he has done his best, what is the difference? It was because I didn't do my best and didn't make all the preparations, so that the rebel army returned to Hebei, killing and wounding countless soldiers and civilians, and also tired General Fugu to fight hard for many days, and there were many martyrs for the soldiers under his command, and even Lu Qian was martyred in the city. Speaking of this, Yan Gaoqing also bowed his head deeply, unwilling to look directly at anyone. However, a sentence that came from his ears made him tremble.
"Brother Yan, don't blame yourself, I have good news here, Ling Lang and Yuan Changshi's son have been rescued safely, and they are now recuperating in Anyang, Ye County."
Yan Gaoqing raised his head immediately, and then cried with joy. Although he said to Fugu Huaien that he put the overall situation first and could not delay the war for the sake of those who were taken hostage by the rebels, in his heart, he extremely hoped that Yuan Luqian's heirs could be preserved and his own son could be preserved. With tears streaming down his face, he held Du Shiyi's hand tightly, but he couldn't say a word at this time.
Du Shiyi knew that it was too pale and redundant to comfort people at this time, so he instructed Fugu Dang to support Yan Gaoqing, and talked a few words with Fugu Huai Encheng Qianli, and learned that the chief general of the Hedong Army who came to help, Taiyuan Changshi Wang Chengguang took Guo Ziyi to the vicinity of Zishui to check the bridge and hydrological conditions, and prepared to cross the river in the future to recover the relevant matters of Boling County in Dingzhou, so he nodded happily, and the first thing he did after entering the city was to worship Yuan Luqian.
Previously, under the call of Yan Gaoqing, most of the states and counties in Hebei have raised the banner of rebellion anyway, although in the case of Shi Siming and Cai Xide returning to the division successively, the flame of resistance was once extinguished, but now with the imperial army counterattacking again, at present, only Fanyang County of Youzhou, Boling County of Dingzhou, Miyun County of Danzhou, Yuyang County of Jizhou, Shanggu County of Yizhou, and Wen'an County of Mozhou are still in the hands of the rebels, a total of only six counties, compared with the power that swept Hebei and Henan and occupied Luoyang.
And now Shi Zhangxing, the governor of the capital of Anbei, has recovered Fuchuan County, Fuzhou, and stationed in Jimen Pass, that is, Juyong Pass, and forced Changping; Hou Xiyi sent troops from Beiping County, Pingzhou, occupied Yancheng on the border of Yuyang County, Jizhou, and captured the flood, and approached Yuyang; Although Miyun County in Danzhou is temporarily safe, the Khitan Songmo Governor's Mansion and Raole Governor's Mansion in the north are already in full swing, and the Beikou Guard is in danger. Coupled with the main force of the Tang Army in the south, the city of Youzhou fell into a panic since An Shouzhong and Cai Xide's remnants fled back in a hurry.
For this scene, Shi Siming took out the only magic weapon that he relied on for success - killing one to set an example. In just three days, he killed hundreds of deserters in one go, and ordered his elite to inspect inside and outside, and implemented a joint sitting system among the people living in the streets. And more than half a month before that, he had already sent a messenger to Chang'an, hoping to use the irreconcilable contradiction between the victorious Du Shiyi and the dim-witted Son of Heaven Li Longji to fight for a way out for himself.
The news of An Lushan's death and An Qingxu's capture have been transmitted back to Youzhou, Shi Siming has set himself up as the envoy of Fan Yang Jie since he returned, and it is not that no subordinates have persuaded him to call himself the emperor, but now the situation of the rebels is not only not as good as before, but also precarious, where will he covet the reputation of this time and a half. Thinking that An Lushan's corpse still doesn't know where it was left, and then thinking about the experience of the two of them getting ahead step by step, Shi Siming sometimes can't help but wonder if the timing of the rebellion was not grasped well, or whether An Lushan was persuaded to rise too early.
"Marshal, the eldest son asked to see him, he said, there is some noise in the army, and Cai Xide and An Shouzhong are not very peaceful."
For Shi Chaoyi, the eldest son who is older and has already led the army, Shi Siming, like An Lushan, has not much father-son affection for his two sons, An Qingzong and An Qingxu, and said impatiently at this moment: "Cai Xide actually ruined his family like this, he is innocent, I don't kill him, he still has the face to make trouble?" As for An Shouzhong, he was even more incompetent, first lost An Qingxu and Li Guiren, and then left Cai Xide, a very runaway general, sued Shi Chaoyi, kill An Shouzhong for me first, otherwise he will come to see him himself, and I won't bother to use military law."
When the entourage came out to tell Shi Chaoyi of this order, the eldest son's brow furrowed into a big pimple. Cai Xide reluctantly gathered seven or eight thousand remnants to return to Youzhou, and An Zhongzhi also had more than 3,000 people, the latter because he ran fast, and the former because he had some prestige, plus Fugu Huaien and Hedong soldiers and horses had just arrived, and they didn't dare to pursue too much. However, before An Lushan raised troops to the south, the remaining soldiers and horses were greatly insufficient, and the first thing Shi Siming did after coming back was to recruit soldiers on a large scale, and use veterans to train new soldiers, and the veterans under Shi Chaoyi's command have been almost transferred.
He now has more than 3,000 recruits, and if he wants to suppress it, it will be difficult if there are no deserters, and now his father's order is to let him kill An Shouzhong, who still has more than 3,000 people, how is it possible?
However, Shi Chaoyi knows that his father Shi Siming is definitely not just talking, if he can't kill An Shouzhong at that time, the person who died is the one who Jia Xun had the intention to turn against An Lushan and let Youzhou return to the Tang Dynasty. How dare such a father who uses the word extermination to suppress the army's public opinion at every turn, and doesn't like him as a son at all?
"Eldest son, in short, you should be careful, the eldest handsome has been in a very bad mood since he learned of His Majesty's death." Shi Chaoyi is not as tyrannical as Shi Siming, and he has always been sympathetic to the people under him, so he didn't hesitate to mention a few more words, "Especially when I heard An Qingzong and An Qingxu brothers shouting in front of a battle, it made our army's morale low, and one assassinated His Majesty, and the marshal scolded him several times behind his back, saying that it was that the shaft was not enough to succeed and more than defeated, and he hated to persuade His Majesty to kill him as soon as possible."
Shi Chaoyi couldn't help but shudder. Without saying a word, he took a jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it in his hand, thanked him sincerely, and then strode away. When he returned to his army with his own soldiers and told his cronies about the matter, sure enough, they exploded in three moments, and they were all opposed. But Shi Chaoyi just said a word, and they were silent.
"Who dares to say to my father in person that this matter is impossible?" Glancing around at the generals, Shi Chaoyi's face was gloomy, and he continued, "An Shouzhong's army is in the city, if you kill him rashly, even if you succeed, there will be a riot in the city, so I am determined to go and see him in person." If he can be persuaded to sincerely serve his father and not play small tricks, maybe his father will open the net. All in all, you don't need to persuade anymore, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven. ”
As Shi Siming's eldest son, Shi Chaoyi even did his best to listen to the mandate of heaven, and all the generals were sad and angry, and helpless. After Shi Chaoyi told them a few things as if he had confessed his last words, he only took a few relatives and left quietly, and after the generals looked at each other for a while, someone suddenly scolded angrily: "I want Li Longji to kill his son and grandson, let's laugh at this emperor is hopelessly stupid, and he deserves to be replaced by His Majesty." But now look at His Majesty, look at the handsome, it's not all father and son, it's just ......"
Although the others did not follow suit, their dark faces were enough to explain a qiē. When everyone scattered back to the camp, I don't know who whispered: "Du Shiyi only gave birth to two sons, so there is no such bad thing."
Thinking about the fact that there are many women around Shi Siming, but there is no lady who leads the backyard, the sons do not distinguish between the concubines, but they favor the youngest son Shi Chaoqing, and the eldest son Shi Chaoyi treats them as if they are a, and they are silent again. In the end, someone finally held back a sentence: "In the end, the backyard is restless, and it hurts the business in front of him, His Majesty favors Mrs. Duan, and our handsome favors Mrs. Xin, and a bowl of water is not level, what are you talking about governing the country and leveling the world?" ”
