Chapter 139: Conspiracy Again

—— News from the north continued to come, after Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops captured Fanyang, many counties in the north responded with troops, and many officials who voluntarily or were forced to surrender to the rebels also announced their return to the Tang Dynasty. For a time, the situation in the entire north was very good, and the territory of the rebels in Fanyang and Pinglu was soon occupied by the Tang army or the people who belonged to the Tang camp again, and the territory belonging to the rebels shrank sharply, and the rebels were firmly controlled only by the Henan area around Luoyang, dozens of counties and counties.

Based on the analysis of all aspects, Yang Xi roughly judged that the rebels are now controlled by them at most an area as large as half a province in later generations, and it can be imagined that the current situation of the rebels will be as miserable as possible. An Lushan, An Qingxu, Shi Siming and others have gone, and they definitely have no chance to turn around. This is completely different from the duration and process of the rebellion that will end the Tang Dynasty in history.

The "Anshi Rebellion" in history lasted for so long, and Yang Xi certainly knew that it was related to the loss of Tongguan and the occupation of Chang'an by rebels. If Tongguan was held and Chang'an was not lost, the power of the rebels would not have been so strong, and the rebellion would not have lasted for such a long time. And now, under his leadership, most of the 100,000 horses of Cui Qianyou of Shaanxi County and the 190,000 horses of Sun Xiaozhe of Kip Stone Fort have been annihilated, which has greatly damaged the vitality of the rebels. When An Lushan's power was at its peak, there were only about 500,000 men and horses under his command, and in these two battles, almost half of the men and horses were lost. The rebels' vitality was greatly damaged, and An Lushan's strategy changed from taking the initiative to retracting from the defense on all fronts, and Yang Xi believed that their good days would become less and less.

In the original history, the "Anshi Rebellion" can be described as "famous", and the tragedy caused by it makes people sigh and sigh infinitely. But now it is not known whether this rebellion can be crowned the "Anshi Rebellion". It is still unknown whether Shi Siming will have a chance to cause chaos after An Lushan's death, but Yang Xi will definitely not give him this opportunity. No matter what means he used, he had to find a way to put down the rebellion as soon as possible.

If he had another chance to cross, he wouldn't mind going to the next generation to carry a few sniper rifles, or machine guns, cannons or even missiles, and kill An Lushan and his minions, as long as there is this result.

Now that the rebellion will be quelled, Yang Xi will not miss the opportunity no matter what. He will definitely try his best to gather all his forces to give An Lushan and his minions a fatal final blow, and never give them a chance to turn the tables. If An Lushan or An Qingxu and Shi Siming were captured, he would never let them go, even if they were willing to surrender, even if he would be punished by the imperial court, he would definitely take their lives.

The lives of these people who have turned the clouds and rain in history are gone, then they can no longer toss the waves, and the Datang world will return to peace.

Let them travel to another world. It's better to go to another world and toss the wind and waves.

Determined to win, Yang Xi ordered the large army to continue to march in the direction of Luoyang, preparing to fight to the death with the rebels under the city of Luoyang. He has already issued an order that whoever is the first to ascend to the top of Luoyang City will personally ask the court for credit. He was the first to break through the gate of Luoyang, and he would not only ask for merit and reward in front of the emperor, but also personally recommend it to the emperor. Let the imperial court give reuse.

The benefits were told to the generals and sergeants so directly, and Yang Xi hoped to stimulate the pride of the soldiers and fight the last possible large-scale battle wonderfully. It has been discovered that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops are waving south. Leaving the task of the follow-up chaos to the people of Anton's Dadu Protectorate, Yang Xi also has less worries, he believes that the most worried about it is An Lushan, An Qingxu, Shi Siming and others in the rebel camp, not him, Yang Xi hopes to arrive at Luoyang City as soon as possible-

After learning that Fanyang was captured by the Tang army and that Li Guiren's army was almost completely annihilated, An Lushan became more and more angry, he had already expected that the situation would get worse and worse, and he felt like he couldn't stop worrying.

Bad news came one after another, An Lushan's temper became more and more irritable, and the people who served around him were beaten by him from time to time, and the frequency of those close ministers being beaten by them was getting higher and higher, and almost every important minister with a relatively high position was beaten by him during this time. Several of the palace maids and eunuchs who served around An Lushan had been killed, and Zhang Tongru, who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and surrendered, was killed on the spot because of his advanced age and the fact that he could not bear the cane punishment.

An Lushan's atrocities also angered some people, including the solemn and noble Zhongshu Shilang, who had already been disappointed in An Lushan. These two people, who think that they are the ministers of the "Great Yan", have been heavily reprimanded by An Lushan from time to time during this period of time, and their hatred for An Lushan has become heavier and heavier. The "prince" An Qingxu was also scolded by An Lushan several times, although he was not scolded by the staff, but in front of a large group of people, he was scolded by An Lushan with a head and face, and was threatened to abolish the crown prince and establish An Qingzhong as the prince, which made An Qingxu lose face and give birth to boundless worries.

The shadow of internal and external troubles shrouded the hearts of all the people in Luoyang, the capital of "Dayan", especially these important ministers of "Dayan". An Lushan was so tyrannical, the "Dayan" army was defeated one after another, and the Tang army was pressed again, and the "Dayan" was not up and down the atmosphere, and there was no atmosphere of concerted efforts to resist foreign enemies, and many people's hearts were full of pessimism. Some people also began to have other thoughts, some people wanted to break away from "Dayan" and return to Datang; There are also people planning other things, and they can't stand An Lushan's tyranny.

Some people want to replace An Lushan, this person is the "prince" An Qingxu, and the one who supports him in making such a plan is the solemn and noble Zhongshu Shilang who has always been cited by An Lushan as his right hand.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's treatment of your subordinates like this will make everyone feel cold, if it continues like this, how can it be possible to work together to resist the Tang Army?" In Yan Zhuang's mansion, Yan Zhuang, who was beaten again, mourned An Qingxu, who came to the mansion to comfort him, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has no way to continue to take charge of Dayan, according to what the ministers have seen, the crown prince should suggest that Your Majesty abdicate and make way for Xian to pass on the throne to you." Otherwise, Dayan will be finished!"

Hearing Yan Zhuang's request again, An Qingxu's heart immediately fluctuated. During this time, Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang proposed this to him several times, suggesting that he take measures to force An Lushan to abdicate, and even take extreme measures to take the throne. However, what An Qingxu didn't know was that Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang were not worried that the tyrannical An Lushan would destroy the "Great Yan", but that they were killed by An Lushan before the "Great Yan" was destroyed.

Although An Qingxu bought off the sergeant who carried out the cane responsibility, it was not very heavy to be dropped by the second board, but Yan Zhuang was already an old bone, and he was scolded several times in recent times, and the injury on his buttocks has not been healed, and it is not even convenient to walk, so he needs someone to help him. Yan Zhuang's resentment towards An Lushan in his heart had reached an extreme, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Now he is very afraid of seeing An Lushan, and he is afraid that when he meets, he will annoy the "Dayan" emperor, and he will be beaten again, and he will be beaten to death like Zhang Tongru, which will be too sad.

Seeing that An Qingxu was silent and did not say anything, Yan Zhuang was a little anxious, and asked again: "Your Highness, I still remember what the old minister told you before, at extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done, and now the internal and external troubles are so serious, the Tang army soldiers are about to come to Luoyang City, if they allow Your Majesty to do such nonsense, no general will willingly lead the army to resist the Tang Army, they must be afraid of losing the battle and being scolded by Your Majesty, or even killed with a cane." The minister hopes that His Royal Highness can stand up, clean up this dilapidated situation, and approach His Majesty to abdicate and become emperor, so as to save Dayan from danger! Your Highness, I beg you!"

"Yan Shilang, please get up quickly!" Hearing Yan Zhuang's direct request again, An Qingxu couldn't keep calm anymore, and immediately agreed: "Yan Shilang, Lone promised you, I must think about this matter, in fact, Lone came to visit you today, just to discuss this matter with you." ”

Today, he came to visit Yan Zhuang in the house, because he had plans to further conspire with Yan Zhuang.

He couldn't bear it anymore, afraid that if the crown prince was deposed; I am even more afraid that An Lushan will make the situation even worse, and there will be no way to resist the attack of the Tang army, so there will be nothing in the end. If you take the throne now, then everything will have time to be saved, inside and outside Luoyang City, there are still more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which are not at an absolute disadvantage compared with the Tang Army, and Luoyang City is built extremely tall, and the Tang Army may not have a chance to capture Luoyang City.

As long as this crisis is overcome and the Tang army is repelled from the periphery of Luoyang, the coming days will be long.

But if An Lushan continues to be in charge of "Dayan", the fate of "Dayan" will also come to an end.

Hearing that An Qingxu finally expressed his position directly today, Yan Zhuang was overjoyed, regardless of his injuries, he suddenly stood up from the couch where he was kneeling, took An Qingxu's hand, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, is this really the case?" Then Your Highness should summon some more people today to discuss this matter. ”

"It's okay," An Qingxu immediately agreed, "Yan Shilang thinks that whoever can be trusted, just send those people over." Gao Shilang, General Tian, and General Yin Gu had already revealed to them, and Gu immediately sent someone to invite them, and the others should still be decided by Yan Shilang. ”

An Qingxu trusted him so much, he was solemn and arrogant, and he immediately agreed without hesitation: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers will send some reliable people to discuss this matter together." ”

Yan Zhuang said, immediately called the housekeeper in, and secretly ordered. After listening to the order, the official family also went immediately.

In less than half an hour, Gao Shang, Tian Qianzhen, Yin Ziqi and others who were more influential in "Dayan" and were considered close confidants of Prince An Qingxu, as well as some people that Yan Zhuang thought he trusted more, came to Yan Zhuang's mansion one after another.

After seeing these people gathered in Yanzhuang's mansion, everyone understood what was going on.

An Qingxu saw that after the people to be summoned arrived, he was not polite, so he directly explained the meaning: "Ladies and gentlemen, now Your Majesty is tyrannical and mediocre, and there is no way to deal with the situation as before.

As soon as An Qingxu's words were finished, Tian Qianzhen immediately chimed in: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that His Majesty can't handle things, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should stand up bravely and take charge of the affairs of the court on behalf of His Majesty." Your Majesty is no longer able to deal with it, and should not continue to occupy the throne of the Emperor......"

Tian Qianzhen's direct words surprised many people present. (To be continued......)
