readx; The noble middle strategy should be very good, with 20,000 people pretending to be the main force to set off at night to confuse the other party, to win himself a day, his time is also very accurate, in Yanshui to cross the river, they need at least three days, and to the north of Yanfu County to cross the river, the 60,000 people can all cross the Yellow River in a day and a half, although there will be a loss of 20,000 troops, but the main force is kept, and Tian Qianzhen may be able to fight a vicious battle, kill 3,000 enemies, it should be said that this is a clever plan, put it on the general army is effective. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Gao Shang forgot that they were not facing the ordinary Central Plains army, they were facing the Anxi army, the Anxi army had the most powerful scout army in the Tang Dynasty, and also had the most powerful cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, and their war horses were the best Dawan horses and Arab horses, and high-intensity long-distance trekking and high-speed pursuit were their strengths.

When An Lushan's operation had just been carried out for less than an hour, Li Qing'an immediately received a letter from five teams of scouts, reporting to him in detail the information about Tian Qianzhen's attack and An Lushan's northward retreat, and one of the scouts even saw through Tian Qianzhen's disguise, and they only had about 20,000 people.

In the big tent, Li Qingan was urgently discussing countermeasures with several high-ranking generals, and Li Qingan held an oil lamp in one hand and carefully searched the map for possible ferry ports in the north.

Zhonglang on the side will Lu Shuanghuan explain the situation in this area, he is a native of Yanzhou, very familiar with the Yellow River in this area, he said: "The Yellow River in the north of Guannei Road is in the Guanjin Grand Canyon, there are not many places to cross the Yellow River, the easiest place to cross the river is in the Hetao area, not only the road is far away, but also it is difficult to coordinate the boats, may not be big, then in addition to the Yanshui Ferry, it is the Yanfu County Ferry, there are only these two places, and the Yanfu Ferry River is narrow, and the time for ships to come and go will be less, So it is easier to cross the river from the ferry port in Yanfu County. ”

At this time, Li Qing'an had already realized that An Lushan was eager to return eastward, and it was likely that he had received the news that Anxi's soldiers had entered Hebei, so he was so impatient to leave, and judging from the weight of their discarded grain and grass, they were in a very hurry and would not go far away to cross the river, so it was very likely to be the ferry port of Yanfu County.

The oil lamp in Li Qing'an's hand moved to the river crossing in Yanfu County, he stared at it, and said for a while: "No matter where An Lushan crosses the river from, we must hurry to catch up!" ”

"General Tian Zhen!"

Tian Zhen stepped out, hugged his fists and said, "The end will be!" ”

"You lead the first army of Broken Leaves, also pretend to be the main force, garrison the big camp, don't fight with them, only use a strong bow and a hard crossbow to deal with it, and when I kill An Lushan, I will go back and clean them up."

Li Qingan immediately ordered: "Pass my order, and the remaining 60,000 people will immediately get on their horses, travel lightly, bring three days of dry food, and set off for me immediately!" ”

The door of the Anxi military camp was wide open, and in the dark night, 60,000 Anxi troops rushed out of the camp like a tidal wave and chased quickly in the northwest direction.

"Give me all my strength to catch up, only one day and one night, catch up with An Lushan!"

．．．．．．．．． At the moment when Anxi Army and Fan Yangjun were in the final game, a series of major events also occurred in Chang'an, Li Yu finally attacked the Yang family, outside the Lin De Hall of Daming Palace, Cui Ningbi, who had just been named a concubine, could not kneel for a long time, Cui Ningbi was the daughter of Yang Yuhuan's second sister Korean lady Yang Yupei, a few years ago when Li Yu wanted to marry Dugu Mingyue, he married this Cui Ningbi as the second concubine, although Li Yu did not like this woman who should be his aunt according to her generation, but according to the etiquette system, he still gave her enough status after ascending the throne, When her aunt Yang Yuhuan became a monk and removed the title of concubine, Li Yu gave this somewhat dazzling aura to Cui Ningbi and named her a concubine, that is, Cui Guifei.

In the past year, Li Yu is still tolerant of the Yang family, Yang Guozhong is still the right minister, and more than a dozen of the Yang family's sons and nephews are still officials in the court, but the halo has faded and become low-key because of Yang Guifei's renunciation, but the Yang family is still one of the wealthy families in Chang'an City, Li Yu has just ascended the throne, maintaining the stability of the court is one of his most important strategies, but as he is trapped by finances, after raising the butcher's knife against the Li clan that has endangered the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule, The blade naturally favored some powerful people who had a close relationship with the Li clan, and the Yang family bore the brunt, which was also due to Li Qing'an's condition of opening the right Xiangguo.

Cui Ningbi knelt on the steps outside the hall for almost an hour, her body was very thin, her face was pale, and the wide six long skirts looked very ill-fitting on her, very different from the average plump and ruddy Tang woman, like a stunted bean sprout.

At this time, Cui Ningbi's heart was full of sadness, this sadness was not caused by her mother begging her to intercede with the emperor last night, but her marriage, a marriage that made her desperate and helpless, she still has no heirs, and it is not that she cannot have children, although she is thin, she is still a mature and normal woman, but she has no chance of conception at all, she can't remember the last time her emperor's husband was lucky to be in her palace, three months or half a year ago, she felt that she was no different from those concubines who had fallen out of favor, The only difference is that they live in the dilapidated and damp Taiji Palace, looking at the faces of the eunuchs all day long, while they live in the beautiful Daming Palace Ayaqi Palace, with the halo of a noble concubine on their heads, but their hearts are the same lonely and full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, the concubine intercedes for the Yang family!"

Cui Ningbi shouted helplessly one by one, her voice was weak, her humble figure couldn't even look at the palace maids and eunuchs around her, and several palace maids stepped forward to help her up, "Niangniang, don't kneel, get up!" ”

Cui Ningbi shook her head weakly, the heavy shackles of the family made her unable to stand up, "The life and death of the entire Yang family depends on you!" "These are what her mother told her last night, and the survival of the family is now on her as a weak woman.

"Your Majesty, the concubine intercedes for the Yang family!"

．．．．．． Li Yu is in the Lin De Hall at the moment, he can't hear Cui Ningbi's shouts, in fact, even if he hears it, he will turn a deaf ear, he has already decided to do something to the Yang family, there is a long list in front of him, the first is Yang Guozhong, the right minister, the second is Yang Qi, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, Yang Qi, Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan, Yang Qing, Yang Zhao, and Yang Guozhong's important party servants, Linghu Fei, Shangshu Wei Jiansu, Shangshu Youcheng Cui Qiao, and more than 30 important ministers such as Lang Da Xixun of the Ministry of War, these are the objects he wants to eradicate.

Eradicating the Yang family and the Yang Party was Li Yu's plan for a long time, but because Yang Guozhong had a close relationship with Li Mao, the king of Jing, Li Yu had some bogeys for stability, so that he had been enduring until now, but now he doesn't have to endure it anymore, everyone's skin has been torn, and Li Mao sent troops to Hanzhong, and was forced to withdraw, which made Li Yu full of confidence.

He had just received news from the eldest grandson Quanxu, he led the soldiers in Xinfeng County to prepare to investigate a vast Yang family manor, but was resisted by more than 1,000 armed Zhuang Ding, it is reported that there are several Yang family leaders in the manor, they refused to surrender, and commanded Zhuang Ding to resist.

Li Yu had already realized that capturing this manor was the key to exterminating the Yang family, and he gave an order with a blushing face, "Take the manor before dark, whoever dares to resist the officers and soldiers will be killed!" ”

At the same time as Li Yu gave the order, Cui Ningbi, who was kneeling outside, could no longer support it, and she shouted weakly, "Your Majesty, the concubine intercedes for the Yang family!" Suddenly, his body went limp, and he fainted on the steps.

．．．．．．． Xinfeng County Baishui Manor, this is a very vast manor, covering an area of more than 1,000 hectares, around more than a dozen villages of farmers have become tenants of this manor, this manor is Yang Huahua's industry, part of the birthday gift given to her by An Lushan, the other part is the Yang family in its heyday by her forced annexation of the results.

At this moment, the wheat field is ripe, the earth is golden, it should be the time for the farmers to harvest the wheat, but the wheat field is deserted, and there is not a single peasant in sight, but on the official road to the west of the wheat field, there are thousands of soldiers.

In the northwest corner of the wheat field, there is a group of warehouses, seven huge granaries are neatly arranged, and in the center of the granary is a small gray two-story building, where the entire manor is managed, where the peasants pay the rent and hand over the land that should be handed over to the government every autumn and summer harvest, and the land that should be handed over to the government is also handed over to the master, as for whether the owner of the wheat field will hand over the field endowment, they do not know, the warehouse is surrounded by a high wall, the wall is made of huge stones, and it is unusually strong.

At this moment, the wall is also full of figures, they are all Yang family's guardian Zhuang Ding, gathered from various manors, there are more than 1,000 people, everyone holds a bow and a knife, against the officers and soldiers, bows and knives belong to light weapons, not prohibited in the imperial court, and the people are allowed to have, so the existence of armed Zhuang Ding is free between legal and illegal, generally as long as it does not endanger the rule of the imperial court, the Tang Dynasty also turned a blind eye to this, and did not interfere.

This time it was different, this time Yang's Zhuang Ding openly confronted the officers and soldiers, and drove away the officials who came to check the land last night, and the accompanying more than 200 soldiers were also driven away, killing five people and wounding more than a dozen people, which turned into a serious armed conflict, Changsun Quanxu immediately mobilized 3,000 troops, surrounded this warehouse, and asked Li Yu for instructions, he found several important people in the Yang family, Yang Qi, Yang Quan, Yang Ho, and Yang Huahua, the wife of the State of Qiu, were among them.

Li Yu's will has arrived, 'Conquer the manor, and those who resist will be killed!' But the eldest grandson Quanxu was still a little hesitant, after all, Yang Qi and Yang Quan were both important ministers of the imperial court, and Mrs. Yu Guo was also Mrs. Yipin, if they were really hurt, once the saint regretted it, or Li Longji was angry, then his eldest grandson Quanxu would be a scapegoat.

The eldest grandson Quanxu walked quickly in front of Qingtian envoy Li Yan and said in a low voice: "Li Shangshu, to attack or not to attack?" ”

Li Yan became very dark and thin, nearly two months of running made him a little tired, but his eyes were very excited, full of a sense of achievement, more than a month, they have cleared and confiscated nearly half of the occupied land in Guanzhong, and the land annexation that has plagued the Tang Dynasty for a long time has been solved by thunderous means, just like cutting off the bad meat on the sick body with a quick knife, Li Yan has been particularly excited in the past two days, and the saint is finally going to attack the Yang family, which is also something he has been looking forward to for a long time.

Different from the sleek of the eldest grandson Quanxu, Li Yan is an extremely upright official, his body is full of edges and tribulus terrestris, he is never afraid of offending anyone, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Attack!" The will of the Holy One has come down, why don't you attack it? General Changsun, don't be afraid of anything, give me a hard beating, and those who resist the officers and soldiers will be killed! ”

With Li Yan at the bottom, Chang'an was not afraid, he drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, crash open the door and rush in!" ”

Thousands of soldiers rushed towards the warehouse with a shout, and the warehouse was surrounded by a crowd of black oppressors, who ran in the wheat fields, and in a moment they trampled down the vast expanses of ripe wheat, and on the high walls began to shoot arrows, but the arrows they shot were floating, soft, and indestructive, and the officers and soldiers had learned the lesson of yesterday's raid, and they all raised their shields and kept the scattered arrows out of the shields.

The wall is mixed with a woman's angry voice, she is the owner of this manor, Mrs. Yang Huahua, since the court appeared unfavorable to the Yang family, she hid in this manor, this manor is relatively remote, it is difficult to be found, so the Yang family brothers hid most of the family property here, and from a large manor in Guanzhong more than a thousand Zhuang Ding to guard, I thought that the court would be very late to find here, but I didn't expect Li Yan to have detailed information in his hands, Li Yu decided to do something to the Yang family, Li Yan immediately stared at this place, and a large group of troops came.

In order to protect her property, Yang Huahua had already let go, she stood on the rockery with a sword in her hand and shouted: "Shoot me!" I will reward you with 50 yuan for shooting an officer or soldier. ”

The screams kept coming, but it was not the death of the officers and soldiers, but her Zhuang Ding was shot by an arrow and fell down from the high wall, at this time, there was another scream, the sound was very familiar, Yang Huahua looked back, and was so frightened that her heart was about to stop beating, only to see that Yang Quan, who had just run out of the building, was shot in the throat by a stray arrow, he fell to the ground and curled up in a ball, holding his throat with his hands in pain, and his throat gurgled in his throat, at this time, two Zhuang Ding rushed forward to carry him into the small building, Zhuang Ding occupied it again, and shook his head at Yang Huahua, It means that Yang Quan can't do it.

Yang Huahua seemed to be crazy, rushed forward, only to see Yang Xuan curled up in a ball, already exhausted, this time Yang Huahua was really scared, she took a few steps back, the sword in her hand fell, she realized that death was so close to her.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, the big iron gate shook violently, the officers and soldiers were hitting the door with trees, the Zhuang Ding people jumped off the wall one after another, and began to flee in all directions, at this moment, the wall was muffled, a section of the wall was pushed by the officers and soldiers, and fell to the ground with a bang, a large group of cavalry rushed into the warehouse compound, and cut down when they met people, Yang Huahua screamed in fright, turned around and ran to the building, Yang Hoe, who commanded Zhuang Ding to shoot arrows, could not escape, was surrounded by dozens of cavalry, and was hacked to death on the spot.

A large group of Zhuang Ding were caught from all sides, kneeling all over the courtyard, and large boxes full of copper coins, treasures and land deeds were carried out of the cellar by the soldiers, and piled up like a hill in the courtyard, at this time, Yang Qi and Yang Huahua were escorted out of the small building, Yang Qi hung his head, like a defeated rooster, Yang Huahua was calm and not afraid, she knew that the soldiers did not dare to kill themselves at this time, but she saw that her money box was dug out, and her eyes couldn't help but be full of resentment.

At this time, Li Yan rode into the warehouse compound and faced Yang Huahua head-on, Yang Huahua gritted her teeth and said: "Li Shangshu, you have made a great contribution, our Yang family is really grateful to you!" ”

Li Yan caught a glimpse of Yang Quan, who was shot to death, and he couldn't help but-for-tat, and said with a cold smile: "Each other, I just didn't expect you Wuyang to have today!" ”

．．．．．． With the Baishuihe Manor was conquered by officers and soldiers, Yang Quan, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and Yang Ho, a member of the Ministry of Rites, were killed by the rebels, which meant that the Yang family came to an end, and the next day Li Yu officially issued an order to remove Yang Guozhong from the position of right minister, remove him from all titles and concurrent official positions, and demote him to Yuzhou Sima, Mrs. Qin Guo is dead, pursue her title, remove the title of Mrs. Han and Mrs. Qiuguo, and demote them to commoners, and the children of the Yang family all take away their official titles and fame, and they are all demoted to civilians, and the land, money, rewards, and real estate obtained are all confiscated as officials.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yu issued a second decree, dismissing Linghu Fei's servants and Tongzhongshu's subordinates, and removing Wei Jiansu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Qiao, the right Cheng of Shangshu, and Da Xixun, the head of the Ministry of War, and other high-ranking officials and important ministers, and wiped out Yang Guozhong's main henchmen.

But Li Yu did not kill them all, Cui Ningbi was still in the palace as a concubine, the children of the Yang family were not assigned to Lingnan, and the middle and lower-level officials of the Yang Party were also saved, Li Yu did not hold them accountable, but only ordered them to disassociate themselves from Yang Guozhong.

"Anyone who takes refuge in Yang Guozhong will introspect themselves!"

The fall of the Yang family and the demotion of Yang Guozhong can be said to be the most important of Li Yu's land reform and power reorganization, and it is also the most important stroke in Li Yu's imperial career.

It was also like a dagger poking into Li Longji's body, stabbing Li Longji's bottom line mercilessly.

．．．．．．． Almost on the same day that Yang Guozhong was demoted, the war between the two princes of Guannei Province also came to the last moment, the Anxi army with its most powerful pursuit, only one day and one night to chase to Suizhou, two hundred miles away, less than thirty miles away from An Lushan's army, at this time, An Lushan's army in Suizhou Shangxian thirty miles east of the position, they were less than twenty miles away from the Yellow River at this time, but the rapid pursuit of the Anxi army made An Lushan no longer able to cross the river as originally planned, he was forced to change the plan, ready to fight to the death with the Anxi army.

The wind is blowing strongly, the flag is waving, there is a burst of flying sand and rocks in the wilderness, the dust is filled in the air, the 60,000 Fan Yang army has already established a solid position, the archers, crossbowmen, spearmen, jumping soldiers and the left and right cavalry are arranged in turn, 10,000 of the sharpest Youzhou cavalry is the Chinese army, and An Lushan is surrounded in the middle of the team, An Lushan is immediately under a big flag, and his eyes are complicated to look at the slow approach of a black line in the distance.

He is the easternmost festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Qing'an is the westernmost festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty, originally they had no chance to fight, but God deliberately arranged for them to fight near the heart of the empire.
