readx; Li Zhu'er's sudden escape undoubtedly toppled the dominoes and exposed Shi Siming's conspiracy, but by mistake, Shi Siming got the news first, and the three Li Zhu'er's entourage found that things were not good, they were afraid of being killed by An Lushan, and turned around and defected to Shi Siming.

The situation suddenly changed, Shi Siming made a desperate bet, and ordered the Turkic cavalry of the Servant Bone Department to bypass Wangdu County from the north and cut off An Lushan's return route, and he himself personally led an army of 80,000 to pounce on Wangdu County.

In the darkness of the night, the 80,000 army swooped towards Wangdu County from the northwest and southwest, and the two armies converged in Anxi County, and then the troops were divided into two roads, one south and one north, like two big pincers to attack An Lushan's station.

An Lushan was still waiting for Li Zhu'er's news in Wangdu County at this time, when Li Zhu'er set off from Zhending County, there was a pigeon letter coming, according to the distance, Li Zhu'er should have arrived tonight, but now it is time, but there is no news.

An Lushan was a little restless, at this time, a blue light flashed outside the window, which was lightning, followed by a rumbling thunder, the air was very depressed, and a storm was coming.

An Lushan's mood was very irritable, his vision suddenly became blurry, and he couldn't even see clearly how many guards were around, and his eyes were white, and his irritability and physical discomfort made his mood worse.

"Send someone to urge it!" An Lushan roared angrily.

At this moment, there was the sound of rushing footsteps outside, and a personal soldier shouted urgently: "Lord Wang, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the alarm?"

"Lord Wang! A pigeon letter came from the patrol post, thirty miles away, tens of thousands of troops were coming to Wangdu County, and the situation was critical! ”

The sudden news stunned An Lushan, and his mind was blank, could it be.... Could it be that Li Qing'an killed him?

But his stunned was only for a moment, and he immediately reacted, no! It's not Li Qing'an, it's Shi Siming! It had to be him.

Since he heard that the Turks called Shi Siming a saint, An Lushan was extremely displeased, one mountain does not allow two tigers, how can Shi Siming keep pace with him, but now is the time to employ people, he put up with it for the time being, but Shi Siming actually rebelled.

An Lushan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately realized that this was Shi Siming who came to kill him, "Quick!" Help me get into the carriage and return to Youzhou quickly! ”

The top priority, he had to flee for his life, he was anxious, even roaring and scolding, more than a dozen henchmen almost carried him into the carriage, the carriage rushed out of the city gate, the lightning and thunder outside the city, the wind and sand made a big blow, but as soon as he got out of the city gate, An Lushan shouted: "Turn around and go south!" To the south! ”

An Lushan suddenly realized that Shi Siming had probably cut off his way back, he was so anxious that his voice was hoarse, he scolded in the thunder, the carriage turned around, and thousands of guards were panicked, and the carriage surrounded him and galloped south.

When he walked halfway, An Lushan suddenly remembered his dragon chariot again, the top throne cost a thousand catties of gold, inlaid with countless precious jewels, worth a huge amount of millions, and it was cheap Shi Siming's bastard in vain, An Lushan hated it in his heart, no matter what, he must break Shi Siming's body into ten thousand pieces.

The carriage had just run out of more than 20 miles, and the heavy rain poured down, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, at this time An Lushan seemed to hear the shouting behind him, he opened the curtain and looked back, only to see that he could not see anything in the wind and rain, and his eyes had lost his vision.

"Lord Wang, there is a fire burning in the north, that is, Wangdu County has been ignited."

"I seem to hear shouts of killing!" An Lushan shouted.

"No, it must be that the prince heard it wrong."

An Lushan listened carefully, and the shouting of killing was indeed gone, and at this time he was terrified in his heart, knelt on the carriage, and pleaded with the Bodhisattva to bless him.

"Great compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva bless, bless the disciple to escape from this difficulty, the disciple will definitely reshape the golden body for you, never break his word, the Bodhisattva bless the disciple!"

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and his fat body slammed to the right.

．．．．．．

Shi Siming killed into Wangdu County, only to know that An Lushan had fled, he jumped like thunder, ordered the soldiers to set fire to kill, he himself led 20,000 iron horses, lightly armed, to the south to pursue An Lushan.

Shi Siming was also anxious, this was his only chance to kill An Lushan, if An Lushan escaped, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

The time has come to a watch, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, there is a white rain and fog all around, the heavy rain has washed away most of An Lushan's escape trajectory, and the scouts have no news, so they can only chase south with the help of only a little horseshoe print left on the ground.

"Vice Marshal, look at the carriage!"

A cavalryman found the carriage abandoned on the side of the road, Shi Siming recognized it at a glance, it was An Lushan's carriage, he slowed down the horse, wiped the rain off his face, and urged the horse forward, only to see that the carriage was lying on its side on the ground, a horse was broken, and it was struggling on the ground in pain, and one of the wheels of the carriage also fell off and rolled down a zhang away.

"Deputy marshal, there are blood stains in the carriage!"

Shi Siming nodded, it seemed that Fat Man An was not lightly injured, and he immediately ordered: "Pursue in the direction of Boye County!" ”

He turned over his horse, whipped his horse violently, and 20,000 cavalry accelerated in the direction of Boye County.

Wangdu County is located at the junction of Dingzhou, Yizhou and Mozhou, An Lushan fled south, must have entered the territory of Mozhou, but the nearest county is in Boye County, Yingzhou, south of Mozhou, about 80 miles away from Wangdu County, Shi Siming found blood stains in the overturned carriage, he deduced that An Lushan must have been injured, and it is likely to go to Boye County to find a doctor to treat his injuries.

After a night of pursuit, at dawn, Shi Siming's 20,000 light cavalry finally arrived in Boye County, at this time the rainstorm had stopped, and there was still a thin rain in the sky, Shi Siming glanced at the messy horseshoe prints at the gate of the north city, and couldn't help but smile proudly, he was not wrong.

A cavalryman galloped up and reported: "Deputy marshal, there is no sign of leaving the city outside the rest of the city gates." ”

"Good! Block the four doors for me! ”

With a wave of Shi Siming's hand, 20,000 cavalry rushed towards the four gates, quickly blocking all the city gates.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, he was shot down by an arrow, and everyone found that there were suddenly dense soldiers on the head of the city, there were thousands of people, it was An Lushan's personal guards, they released arrows together, thousands of arrows were fired together, the soldiers under the city were caught off guard, and suddenly there was chaos, more than 100 people were killed and wounded.

The cavalry retreated one after another, and Shi Siming was furious, "Quickly look back and transfer troops, I want to set foot in Boye County!" ”

．．．．．．．

Three hours later, 40,000 Shi Siming's army gathered in Boye County, they brought a large number of siege weapons such as ladders and crashing wood, and before they could set up camp, Shi Siming issued an order to attack the city.

Boye County is not big, the city wall is only two zhang high, for the cavalry, it may be helpless, but for the infantry with siege weapons, this small county town is vulnerable, 40,000 troops pressed on it, only an hour later, the east city wall collapsed, 60,000 Shi Siming's army surged into the city.....

"Deputy Marshal, I didn't find An Lushan!

"Deputy marshal, there is no county government either!"

．．．．．．

Unfavorable news came from all directions, Shi Siming's eyes were red, and he roared: "Give me a search all over the city, even if you turn the county over, you will find him!" ”

At this time, several soldiers escorted an An Lushan's henchman up, "Deputy Marshal, this person may know An Lushan's whereabouts." ”

Shi Siming strode forward, grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "Say quickly, where is the thief?" ”

The henchman was seriously injured, one of his hands was cut off, and he said with a weak breath: "I say..... I just ask the deputy marshal to spare my life! ”

"Tell me, where is he hiding?"

"Lord Wang.... After the carriage broke down, he left the brigade on horseback with a few of his own soldiers and fled east. ”

The place where the carriage was destroyed was still fifty miles to the north, Shi Siming stood for a moment, he suddenly shouted, pulled out his long sword, and cut off the soldier's head with a sword, he was almost crazy, and shouted hysterically at the sky, "Thief, then let's have a fierce fight!" See if the world is yours or mine? ”

With a wave of his sword, he glared at his blood-red eyes and ordered: "The city is full of good and low, don't leave any of them, kill them all for me!" ”

．．．．．．

An attempted coup d'état, an unsuccessful assassination, caused the most serious split in the Yan army, Shi Siming publicly no longer recognized himself as a subordinate of the Yan army, he proclaimed himself the holy king of the Great Zhou, changed his army name to Zhou, occupied Hengzhou, Dingzhou, Zhaozhou, Shenzhou, Jizhou and other five states in western Hebei, with an army of 200,000 to compete with An Lushan.

And An Lushan unexpectedly remained silent, trying to downplay Shi Siming's rebellion, his heart was full of worry, lest the great changes in Hebei affect the Hedong battlefield, at this time, he had no intention of expanding to Hedong, he issued ten urgent orders in a row, ordering the Yan army in the Hedong battlefield to withdraw to Hebei, and he sent a pigeon letter, ordering Yin Ziqi of Taiyuan to immediately lead the army south, and Anqingxu to converge.

．．．．．．

At this time, the form of the Hedong battlefield has been reversed, since Li Guangbi defeated the 30,000 Yan army with 2,000 cavalry elites, the morale of the Yan army has suffered a heavy blow, especially the Tang army's use of powerful thunder, which makes the Yan soldiers frightened, the terrible situation when the earth-shaking thunder explodes with the defeat of the army returning to the camp and spreads rapidly, the whole barracks are whispering about the terrible thunder, for a time people are panicking, all the soldiers are deeply worried, when the thunder will explode above their heads.

Li Guangbi's surprise attack not only severely damaged the morale of the Yan army, but also caused a serious split in the upper echelons of the Yan army.

Li Guiren's withdrawal at the critical moment became the direct fuse for Li Huaixian and Li Guiren's face-turning, Li Guiren angrily reprimanded Li Huaixian's subordinates for their self-preservation behavior, which made the encirclement and annihilation of Li Guangbi's lone army fail, and Li Huaixian's escape was the root cause of the collapse of the whole army in the end, in short, all the responsibility should be borne by Li Huaixian, and he strongly demanded that Li Huaixian's military post be removed and his military power should be seized.

Regarding Li Guiren's accusations, Li Huaixian's attitude was to ignore them, but he also had his own ideas, and he was already thinking about his own way out.

．．．．．．．

Although An Qingxu was the commander-in-chief, his direct army was only more than 10,000 people, and he was not stationed with Li Guiren's army, but stationed in Pei Village, about fifteen miles away from the Shangdang camp, and he was in a dilemma, and the deepening contradictions between Li Guiren and Li Huaixian made him in a dilemma, and it was difficult for him to take sides.

Although there has been a saying since ancient times that the tiger father has no dog, but this sentence is not very convincing in An Qingxu, An Lushan can be regarded as a powerful person, can be called a hero, and his son An Qingxu is much weaker than that, maybe these generals he faces are his uncle level, making it difficult for him to have prestige in front of them, if he imagines An Lushan to command these armies freely, then he must have the ability to surpass An Lushan.

It's a pity that An Qingxu is a mediocre general, and he doesn't have the talent of an emperor who dominates the world, and he is not even qualified to be the commander of thousands of troops.

Fortunately, there is a noble man by his side, who can always give him advice, so that he will not lose ground, in the military camp of Pei Village, Gao Shang is discussing the next countermeasures with An Qingxu.

An Qingxu walked worriedly in the big tent with his hands behind his back, his morale was low, the granary was burned, and even worse, there was a split in Hebei, Shi Siming supported the army and stood on his own, and the situation on the battlefield in Hedong became more and more severe.

He stopped, sighed, and said, "Mr. Gao, what should I do?" ”

Gao Shang was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly and said: "It is impossible to win, now if we can save our strength and retreat, it will already be the greatest luck, but I am very worried, we will even have a very difficult time to retreat, it is obvious that Li Qingan is like a fierce tiger, eyeing the side, waiting for us to withdraw when the army is fully attacked." ”

"How long do you think we can confront each other, sir?"

Gao Shang smiled bitterly and stretched out three fingers, "Three days at most!" ”

An Qingxu was taken aback, "But the food in our army can last at least half a month, why is it only three days?" ”

"Young marshal, the problem is not ours, nor Li Qing'an, but Hebei, now Shi Siming is rectifying the army and horses, and it is difficult to send troops for a while, but once he completes the army, the first thing he will do is to go south to Xingzhou, seize Fuyang County, cut off our back road, so that we have no way to retreat, we can only surrender him Shi Siming, or surrender Li Qing'an, I may have no problem surrendering Shi Siming, but what about you, young marshal? What do you do? ”

"But my father has already ordered Tian Chenghei to answer us, will he disobey?"

Gao Shang shook his head and sighed: "Did the young marshal forget what Tian Chenghe's nickname was?" He won't come to pick us up, and even if he does, he's going to be a pretend, unless ......"

An Qingxu was gloomy, Tian Chengsi was called a 'cunning fox', would this old fox come to meet them? Hearing the end, he was stunned for a moment, "Unless what?" Please sir. ”

"Unless we surrender to Tian Chenghei, he will definitely come to meet us."

An Qingxu covered his head and walked back and forth, "Sir, my heart is very chaotic now, the situation is too complicated, what should I do?" ”

"Young marshal, as long as you understand a little, you will know what to do?"

"Tell me what you know, sir."

Gao Shang smiled coldly and said: "You just have to control yourself, don't treat yourself as the boss anymore, Li Huaixian and Li Guiren, you can't command at all." ”

An Qingxu stood stunned for a moment, and he slowly understood, "Sir, then my top priority is to receive Yin Ziqi's 40,000 troops as soon as possible, and then immediately withdraw back to Youzhou, right?" ”

"That's right! As long as you do this well, you and I will be lucky. ”

．．．．．．．．

At this time, Li Qing'an led 100,000 troops to the east to Liangma Village, only more than 100 miles away from the main force of the Yan army, at night, the Tang army camp was very quiet, the patrol sentries patrolled back and forth near the camp gate, twenty-four guard towers stood majestically, and the sentries looked vigilantly at the situation in all directions.

At this time, several cavalry rushed forward, and when they were still hundreds of steps away from the camp, they were discovered by the guard tower soldiers, because there were not many people, the guard tower did not ring the alarm bell, but notified the soldiers guarding the gate, and immediately a group of Tang cavalry stepped forward to intercept it.

"Standing, who is it?"

There were a total of three cavalrymen, and the cavalry led by them stepped forward and saluted: "We are sent by General Li Huaixian to send an important letter to His Royal Highness King Zhao!" ”

The sentry captain pointed his spear at him and shouted, "Dismount, raise your hands, put down your weapons!" ”

The three cavalrymen immediately dismounted, put the horizontal swords, bows and arrows in their waists, and the daggers in their boots on the ground, and raised their hands to face the Tang army.

Lieutenant Tang gave his subordinates a look, and immediately went up to several soldiers to search them and took out everything.

"Captain, there's nothing out of the ordinary."

Captain Tang nodded and said to the three of them: "You guys come with me!" You will keep your things and horses for the time being, and they will be returned to you when you leave. ”

Three of Li Huaixian's subordinates followed the Tang military captain into the Tang army camp, and when they walked to the camp gate, the eyes of the three were blindfolded by a black cloth.

The Tang Army's tent was brightly lit, and a sand table was placed in the center of the big tent, surrounding the sand table, Li Qingan was discussing the next step with more than a dozen senior generals such as Li Siye and Li Fei Yuanli.

Li Qing'an has already received the news of the infighting between An Lushan and Shi Siming in Hebei from the Hebei Intelligence Hall, this news did not surprise Li Qing'an, Shi Siming's ambition he already knew, but he didn't expect that Shi Siming would seize the opportunity of the Hedong War to attack, and what made Li Qingan a little disappointed was that An Lushan was not killed, and fled back to Youzhou with the golden cicada's shell.

Since the situation in Hebei has changed, it will inevitably affect the battle situation in Hedong, and their plan must be changed.

"Everyone, the battle situation is already very unfavorable to the Yan army, if I guess correctly, An Lushan will inevitably urgently recruit the Yan army from Hedong to return to Youzhou, so hundreds of thousands of Yan troops will flee back to Hebei at any time, but they have not moved so far, I deduce that An Qingxu should be waiting for the Yan army besieging Taiyuan to go south."

Li Qing'an pointed to a pass in the northernmost part of Luzhou with a wooden pole, and then said: "According to the latest information, Yin Ziqi's 40,000 troops should now arrive at Shihui Pass, that is, here, enter the boundary of Luzhou, at most three days, this army can reach Shangdang County, as long as this army is obtained, An Qingxu will definitely withdraw his troops immediately and return to Hebei from Fukou, then the two armies of Li Huaixian and Li Guiren are hostile to each other, and it is difficult to speak alone, and they will inevitably follow and withdraw to Hebei, so we can no longer wait and see, It is necessary to take the initiative to attack and annihilate the enemy army before the other side withdraws, what do you think? ”

Everyone agrees with Li Qing'an's analysis, and this is indeed the case.

"I'll add a little more!"

Li Siye also picked up a wooden pole and pointed at Shexian County: "I suspect that Yin Ziqi's army may not go to Shangdang County at all, and go directly to Shexian County to join An Qingxu at Fukou." ”

Li Qingan nodded, "Heiye said a lot, this may be a big surname, if that's the case, the time will be shortened by another day, we only have two days, and the time is very urgent." ”

Xi Yuanqing, who was on the side, suddenly said: "General, why don't you let Li Guangbi's army go north to Fuyang County and cut off the enemy's way back?" ”

Li Qingan smiled and said: "I have also considered this problem, first, there are not many Tang troops in Weizhou, only 5,000 people, if they go north, they will definitely be attacked by Shi Siming, so that Shi Siming will finally absorb the remnants of the Yan army, and Shi Siming will be cheapened in vain, even if there are remnants, I hope that An Lushan will get it, so that he and Shi Siming can balance their forces and kill each other, so I don't want to block their back road." ”

Xi Yuanqing nodded silently, he understood a little, at this moment, there was a soldier outside the door to report: "Report to the general, Li Huaixian sent someone to send a letter to the general, and now the envoy is outside the tent." ”

Li Qingan was stunned, and then he smiled meaningfully, Li Huaixian's people came at the right time.
