Chapter 2 The Coming Tribulation

(PS: During the new book period, at least two updates a day, starting tomorrow, chayexschayexs. The update time is fixed at about twelve o'clock at noon and half past seven at night!)

------------

Yang Xi stood in front of the window, looking at the green eyes in the courtyard with great attention. He had been standing in this position for a long time, without any movement, and without paying attention to any requests and calls from the people around him, he just stood straight, trying to think clearly about what was in front of him!

He shouldn't be called Yang Xi, and he shouldn't be here, this is not the world he lives in. This is a dream, a very real dream, not reality----- he is just dreaming, he didn't wake up, or the plot described in the novel, everything he sees is illusory!

But "numerous" facts prove that everything is true.

Yang Yuhuan's brother, the fourth son of Yang Guozhong, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, and Shang Yin Fengyu Yang Xi, is his current identity.

But no one knew that although his body was Yang Xi's, his soul was replaced by a later modern person from more than a thousand years later.

He is a "time-traveling person", a time-traveling person who fuses the memories of the two lives before and after, and he is a newly retired soldier who travels through the past.

After serving as a soldier for 10 years and changing from the position of commander of a reconnaissance company of the group army, he took a long-distance bus back to his hometown full of sentimentality after bidding farewell to the troops and his comrades-in-arms with tears in his eyes. The journey is too boring and emotional, so I can only find some other ways to relieve this unspeakable sadness and loneliness. He likes to read books and is very interested in military affairs and history, so when he was waiting for the train at the transit station, he bought a book of "Anshi Rebellion" to read.

This is an era that he is very interested in, and he has seen related works before, about the Tang Dynasty and the Anshi Rebellion, but he has not studied it carefully, so he is no stranger to this period of history, and he also watched it with relish. But I didn't expect that when I was looking at it and threw myself into it, sighing and sighing for the prosperous Tang Dynasty due to the Anshi Rebellion, the bus had an accident and collided with a heavy trailer in front.

He lost consciousness in the terrifying impact, only to wake up to find himself in ancient times, possessed by a young man.

After spending some time and energy, Yang Xi probably figured things out, the body that his soul possessed was Yang Xi, the youngest son of Yang Guozhong, the minister of power at the time of Li Longji, a seventeen-year-old young man who was said to have good talent, martial arts, and outstanding figure and appearance.

Here's the thing, one morning, Yang Xi got up to practice martial arts as usual, but when he waved the lance, for some reason, the lance actually opened his own head, and Yang Xi, who was seriously injured, immediately fell into a coma and woke up two days later.

It's just that no one could have imagined that the Yang Xi who woke up was no longer the previous Yang Xi, and his soul was replaced by an inexplicable person in the later generations. woke up early this morning and found that he had returned to ancient times, as a god, Yang Xi didn't believe it, but the fact of meeting him finally made him have to accept the result of the crossing; After figuring out his identity, he was even more surprised!

God, isn't this playing with people, it's not good to cross into someone, crossing possessed Yang Guozhong, the young son of the adulterous who is hated by future generations, and the book "Anshi Rebellion" that I read before falling into a coma seems to record that Yang Guozhong followed Li Longji to the northwest of Shu In the process, the soldiers of the forbidden army mutinied, several of Yang Yuhuan's sisters were killed, and Yang Guozhong and all his family members were also killed in the chaos by the passionate soldiers of the forbidden army.

What time is it? Did the Anshi Rebellion break out? How long is it until Yang Guozhong's family is killed? Yang Xi, who finally thought of this question, turned his head and asked a little beauty named Ping'er, who was his personal maid, who had been standing behind him tremblingly and asking for a few words from time to time: "Tell me, the current year name, what month and date is it today?" ”

"Back to the fourth son, this year is the fifteenth anniversary of Tianbao, and today is the fifth day of the sixth month!" The little girl named Ping'er finally heard the little master she served ask her, although this was very strange and inexplicable, but it still surprised her, and she answered in a hurry, and asked repeatedly: "Fourth son, you have a head injury, do you can't remember these things?" Don't be in a hurry, hurry up and take a rest, take care of your body, and you will remember everything! Fourth son, the slave and maid help you to ......"

"Tianbao fifteen years, the fifth day of the sixth month?" Although his thinking was not very responsive because of this bizarre experience, the two sentences that Ping'er said still caused Yang Xi's violent shock. In November of the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan raised troops in Fanyang and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and in June of the 15th year of Tianbao, Chang'an was captured by the rebels, and Yang Guozhong and his family were killed in the chaos by the mutinous soldiers of the forbidden army in Maweipo!

This is an event in the historical record, and when he thinks of this, Yang Xi feels a little shaky!

Li Longji was defeated and fled into Shu, and Yang Guozhong's entire family was killed in June of the fifteenth year of Tianbao!

Oh my God, what does that mean? How can you push people into the fire kang as soon as you cross, and you will immediately have people play a game of wiping his neck with a knife? Is it for him to experience the feeling of crossing and crossing again continuously? That's too much!

According to historical records, after the fall of Luoyang, the angry Li Longji listened to the advice of the prime minister Yang Guozhong, and after the demagogy of the eunuchs of the state, he killed Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, two world-famous generals, at the end of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, and reappointed Ge Shuhan, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, who was recuperating at home, to lead the soldiers and horses of Tongguan, and repeatedly ordered Ge Shuhan to lead the army to take the initiative to meet the enemy in Tongguan.

Ge Shuhan did not dare to disobey the orders of the imperial court, and led all the soldiers and horses guarding Tongguan in early June of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, but the enemy ambushed, and 200,000 soldiers and horses were broken by Cui Qianyou, a general under An Lushan, and returned defeated, and Tongguan was immediately lost and occupied by the rebels.

After the loss of Tongguan, Chang'an was no longer in danger to defend, and the rebels could go straight to Chang'an.

Emperor Li Longji, who heard the news that the rebels were approaching, did not make any arrangements to defend Chang'an, and fled from the palace at night and fled to Jiannan.

The emperor fled, how could the soldiers defending the city still have the heart to resist? Chang'an became an undefended city, and was finally easily captured by the rebels, countless palace nobles and ordinary people were killed when the rebels entered the city, and the Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, and Xingqing Palace were all looted.

After the royal car fled to a place called Ma Weipo, the soldiers of the forbidden army mutinied, demanding the killing of Yang Guozhong's father and son and Yang Yuhuan, who had brought disaster to the country and the people, Li Longji was forced to agree to the request of the soldiers of the forbidden army, and finally Yang Guozhong's father and son were beheaded by the rebels, and Yang Yuhuan was hanged.

All of this is recorded in detail in the book "Anshi Rebellion" that Yang Xi read before he crossed, before he lost consciousness, the chapter content he read was the plot of Luoyang being captured to Chang'an falling into the hands of the rebels, after knowing the time he was in now, Yang Xi was a little "creepy".

Yang Xi, who has experienced many actual combat experiences, has brushed shoulders with death several times in later generations, and many comrades-in-arms have died in training or on missions, but they are still afraid of death!

When a person dies, his life is gone, and everyone will be afraid, unless he dies suddenly, then there is no time to be afraid.

The tragedy of Yang Guozhong's family being killed in the army by the rebellious army made Yang Xi refuse to accept it! Dying like this is too miserable, too cowardly, too unheroic, so that he can't bear it, how to make him choose the way to die, he will never choose this way.

Anyone who knows that he is going to face death is very, very frightened, and he is no exception.

A person who knows that he is going to face death will always make a move to fight, and so is Yang Xi!

If the book is correct, the rebels will soon be in Chang'an, or they are already on their way to attack Chang'an. The house is quiet, it doesn't look like Chang'an has been captured, and it can't be when the rebels began to attack the city, and the historical record records that Yang Guozhong accompanied Li Longji and fled before the rebels began to attack Chang'an. In other words, it is even more unlikely to be after the fall of Chang'an City!

The disaster did not happen, it is likely that there is room for redemption, this kind of thought came together, Yang Xi felt an unspeakable impulse in his heart, and immediately turned his head to ask the person standing behind him, "Tell me, where did the An Lushan rebels attack?" Has Tongguan fallen? ”

Ping'er, who couldn't answer this question without leaving home, at this time, a personal entourage named Yang Zheng, who was standing behind Ping'er, stepped forward and replied: "Back to the fourth son, the rebels of the thieves are confronting the official army under the city of Tongguan, and Tongguan has not fallen yet!"

Yang was Yang Xi's most loyal follower, showing loyalty, Yang Xi's remaining memories trusted this person who was slightly older than him, and he did not doubt the truth of Yang Zheng's words at all, which made him greatly relieved.

Tongguan has not yet been lost, the official army is confronting the rebels in Tongguan City, it seems that Li Longji's very wrong decision has not been made, and he did not let Ge Shuhan lead the army to attack. If Ge Shuhan led the army to attack and suffered a major defeat, then Tongguan would definitely not be guaranteed. Tongguan is in danger of failing, the door of Chang'an will be wide open, even if he has the ability of unpredictable prophets, it is very likely that he will lack the skills to return to heaven and will not be able to recover the overall situation!

He has always been a man who loves life, even more than the average person. He just crossed once, he doesn't want to die again, he wants to live well, live clearly, he must do everything he can to change the course of history.

His father with this body is Yang Guozhong, the minister of power of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Guozhong is the one who made a bad idea for Li Longji, if he can persuade Yang Guozhong to change his mind and strictly order Ge Shuhan to defend the Tong Pass and not attack in a hurry, then it is not impossible that the fate of the Tang Dynasty may change because of this.

Moreover, he knew that Chang'an was captured by An Lushan's army, which symbolized the final end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty completely turned from prosperity to decline, which he absolutely did not want to see. He is not a spectator of history now, but a participant, since he has traveled to the early stage of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, he must do something for this era and for himself, and even turn the tide, otherwise his own fate will be miserable.

Don't think about the big picture, at least for the sake of his own life, he has to do something bold.

Having made up his mind in an instant, Yang Xi asked Yang Zhengdao: "Yang Guo...... Is my father in the house? I have something very important to talk to him? ”

Yang Zheng replied very honestly: "Back to the fourth prince, the master went to the palace, in the morning, His Majesty urgently sent someone to pass the master into the palace, saying that there was an urgent military discussion, and the master immediately entered the palace, and he has not come back until now!" He came to see you when he came to the palace!"

Yang Xi is Yang Guozhong's favorite son, when Yang Xi was in a coma in the past two days, Yang Guozhong, who is full of opportunities, often comes to accompany him, wiping a handful of old tears, Yang Xi also came to visit before waking up this morning, and left after receiving an urgent message from someone in the palace.

"Oh, that's ......" Yang Xi responded, and before he could ask anything, a commotion and chaotic footsteps came from a distance, and it seemed that a group of people were coming this way.

"Fourth son, the master has come to see you!" I don't know which of the subordinates' voice came immediately!
