—— As the actual commander of a team of more than 100,000 horses, it is impossible for Yang Xi not to think carefully before making a major decision. If you don't think it well and believe in some superficial situations, then after the war starts, you are likely to suffer heavy losses.

He couldn't afford to take the risk, and he had to confirm the situation further before he could make a decision.

However, Yang Xi quickly put away this doubt, this is impossible to happen, there are more than 100,000 people under his command, even if An Qingxu opens several city gates north of Luoyang to let them in, and wants to make a surprise attack when they enter the city, it is impossible to do it so easily.

If you want to deal with his hundreds of thousands of horses, the rebels can't use fewer men and horses, and it is not so easy to assemble and ambush so many men and horses. It is impossible for his men and horses to rush into the city at once, and they must cooperate with each other when attacking the city, and the men and horses who enter the city first will definitely occupy the city gate tower first, and then launch further attacks after controlling the main roads in and out of the city.

With this in mind, Yang Xi still firmly believed that An Qingxu had failed to assassinate An Lushan, and he was afraid that he would be exterminated by An Lushan, so he took the initiative to contact him, hoping to get his support so as not to be wiped out by An Lushan.

Firming up this idea, Yang Xi did not hesitate, and immediately told the other party what he meant, and asked them to go back and reply to An Qingxu, saying that his men and horses would definitely rush to Luoyang as soon as possible, meet with An Qingxu, and jointly deal with An Lushan's men and horses. After conveying his meaning and hurriedly writing a reply, he ordered the members of the special task force to escort these An Qingxu's subordinates who came to contact him to return to his life.

The members of the Einsatzgruppen are also responsible for transmitting An Qingxu's reaction back.

After watching the members of the special operations disappear into the night with An Qingxu's men, Yang Xi immediately ordered the whole army to speed up their march, and they must arrive at Luoyang City before dawn and attack.

Pang Zhong, who had been observing Yang Xi's reaction but did not ask for his opinion, immediately went to carry it out after hearing Yang Xi's decisive order.

Of course, Yang Xi handed over the task of leading the army to Luoyang City to Pang Zhong, and asked his troops to take over the city gates north of Luoyang City from An Qingxu's first, so as to facilitate the entry of the follow-up army. But Yang Xi also reminded Pang Zhong that he must beware of fraud, and be prepared to fight a tough battle as soon as he enters the city.

Even if An Qingxu did not surrender by fraud and would cooperate with the action, Yang Xi also thought that An Lushan would definitely not allow An Qingxu to act like this, and would definitely lead the army to fight. Maybe when Pang Zhongbu arrived at those city gates north of Luoyang, Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi under An Qingxu were fighting against the men and horses loyal to An Lushan! Thinking that it was possible to fight side by side with Tian Qianzhen and Yin Ziqi, Yang Xi had a strange feeling in his heart. These two rebel generals had just been beaten by him and fled the desert a few days ago, and suffered heavy losses, and if I met them face to face, I really don't know how they would feel. "When we meet, we smile and enmity!" Is this possible?

There may be a surname, but the enmity is completely eliminated, and it is basically impossible.

But all this is not important, the most important thing is that the infighting of the rebels allows him to quickly quell the rebellion.

Although the moon was shining brightly, it was far less convenient to travel at night than during the day, and it was impossible to travel as fast as during the day, but in order not to miss the fighters, the divisions still traveled as fast as they could. There is no need to cover up, and there will be no rebels in front, all the departments are spreading their horses' hooves and running wildly all the way, and the torches of the forest will shine brighter on the west side of Luoyang City-

"What? The Tang army will first take over the city gate tower!" After seeing the reply sent back by Yang Xi, An Qingxu was taken aback.

The letter he sent to Yang Xi said that when the Tang army reached the north of Luoyang, he would send someone to open the city gate and let the Tang army enter the camp and directly attack An Lushan's men and horses, but Yang Xi's reply almost rejected his proposal.

"General Yin, could it be that Yang Xi guessed our plan?" An Qingxu handed Yang Xi's reply to Yin Ziqi and inquired puzzledly.

After Yin Ziqi took it, he took a serious look at it and smiled indifferently: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is reasonable for Yang Xi to have such a request, but His Royal Highness can't agree." If the Tang army enters the city, it is not in a hurry to attack His Majesty's men and horses, but occupies the city gate tower first, then our plan to take advantage of the fishermen will not be realized. His Royal Highness should send someone to tell Yang Xi that His Majesty's men and horses have begun to attack us, and we can't resist it, so we need their support, so let them rush over as soon as possible after entering the city. We will guard the gate tower for them, and there will be no loss. ”

Hearing Yin Ziqi being so confident, Yan Zhuang on the side couldn't help but pour cold water: "General Yin, the old man thinks that Yang Xi will definitely not agree to our proposal." Since he has already told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this, he will definitely not accept our new proposal. ”

"So what are we going to do?" An Qingxu asked with a sad face.

According to the assassination of An Lushan has passed about two hours, there is a lot of movement in the city, but there is no large number of men and horses gathered to attack these city gates in the north, according to this situation, that is, An Lushan did not suspect that the assassination was sent by him, otherwise it is impossible not to send people to search for him, after knowing that he fled to the direction of the north gate, he will not let him continue to stay, and will definitely send men and horses to attack.

No one knew what was going on, and even Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang and others were very puzzled. Could it be that Li Zhu'er did not confess, or identified other people? Or have you been killed, and you didn't reveal who instigated it before you were killed? An Qingxu already regretted it a little, he shouldn't have escaped from the palace without knowing anything, if he knew that Li Zhu'er didn't confess, or was hacked to death with a knife when he was assassinated, An Lushan didn't suspect that he instructed him, then he could still live as he was, and he wouldn't have decided to run away in a hurry and completely break with An Lushan.

Things are already like this, he is not in the palace, several important ministers are solemn and noble, and even their families have run to the direction of the north gate, An Lushan can't think that his son is planning with other ministers to assassinate. He is now on the road of no return, and there is no going back, so he can only surrender to the Tang army, or take advantage of the fact that the Tang army and An Lushan's men and horses are fighting to the death, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But what if Yang Xi didn't act as he wanted, but insisted on occupying the city gate tower first, and then fighting to the death with An Lushan's men and horses, what would it be? Just when An Qingxu was asking his subordinates in a panic, and his subordinates expressed their opinions in a gossipy manner, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing from the south of the city.

"Father must have sent men to attack us!" An Qingxu's face turned white with fright.

Yin Ziqi and Tian Qianzhen, who heard this sound, also immediately stood up and pressed their hands on the saber. At this time, a lieutenant rushed over and reported in horror: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty's men and horses have been killed!" (To be continued.) )
