―― When Yang Xi read out such a secret letter, all the generals were stunned, and Ji'er was overjoyed.

"Marshal Yang, the rebels are infighting, our army should take this opportunity to attack Luoyang immediately!" Wang Sili was the first to stand up and expressed his opinion excitedly.

Pang Zhong also stood up and said an opinion similar to Wang Sili: "Marshal Yang, what General Wang said is right, the rebels are in civil strife, this is an opportunity to take advantage of, our army should take advantage of the internal turmoil in the rebels to attack the city." Maybe Luoyang City can be captured immediately and the rebellion can be completely quelled. ”

Then Liu Guangting and Lu Zongben also stood up and expressed opinions similar to those of Wang Sili and Pang Zhong, both suggesting that they should take advantage of the civil strife of the rebels to attack them. However, Gao Shi then stood up and expressed a different opinion from the previous ones. "Marshal, the last general agrees with what the previous generals said, but the last general still has doubts, if this is just a smokescreen released by the rebels, and wants to lure our army to the bait and set up an ambush outside Luoyang City, if so, then what should it be?"

Gao Shi's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing most of everyone's excitement. Not to mention, this possibility certainly exists. In times of war, the means are all used to the extreme, and it is not surprising that these intrigues are used to lure the opponent into the bait.

However, Yang Xi didn't take Gao Shi's worries seriously, because it was recorded in the original history that An Lushan was killed by An Qingxu, but he couldn't remember when An Lushan was killed by his son. But he would not deny Gao Shi's doubts because of his own foresight, and he still appreciated Gao Shi's carefulness and thoughtfulness. If you want to achieve great things, you must have more consideration for a thing, even if you are more convinced, you must have a certain degree of skepticism, so that you can make fewer mistakes and make fewer mistakes.

Moreover, history has changed, and who knows what will turn out in the end.

"General Gao is right, we can't be blindly optimistic, we must understand things clearly, and make a decision after determining whether there is such a possibility!" Yang Xi immediately affirmed Gao Shi's suspicions, and stated his opinion: "It stands to reason that now is a critical time for the rebels, if An Qingxu and his advisers have brains, they should not start infighting at this time. But ......"

Yang Xi paused, looked around at the generals in the tent, and when all the generals pricked up their ears and listened attentively, he continued: "If it is confirmed that An Qingxu has the idea of seizing the throne, or if there is really internal strife within the rebels, then our army must take this opportunity to attack Luoyang immediately." Such a great opportunity, you can't miss it!"

Because of his understanding of history and the information that came back, Yang Xi didn't have much doubt that An Qingxu wanted to kill An Lushan and seize the throne, he was already thinking about changing the attack plan and making his men and horses speed up. Plans always have to be adjusted as they change, and if there is real infighting within the rebels, they must take advantage of this opportunity no matter what.

Of course, he still has to reconfirm whether the news is accurate and reliable, and there can be no sloppiness in major matters related to success or failure.

After the victory in the defense of Tongguan, he sent some people to infiltrate Luoyang City to carry out secret missions, persuade An Lushan's generals to surrender, and even provoke the relationship between these people and An Lushan. Yang Xi believed that if An Lushan's relationship with the ministers was tense now, it would definitely have a lot to do with the provocation of those people he sent. Yang Xi hoped that these people would have news again, and they could persuade some rebels with more status to surrender, so that when the army he led attacked the city, they could join forces with the besiegers of the city, so that Luoyang City would be easy to capture.

With this in mind, Yang Xi did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered: "All generals listen to the order, immediately make preparations, and as soon as the commander verifies the situation, he will immediately speed up the march and prepare to attack the city when the rebels have civil strife." The commander would also inform him of the situation to Deputy Guo, Li Jiedu, General Yan, General Li, and General Cheng, so that they could also speed up their march and strive to attack the city immediately when the rebels started civil strife. ”

"Yes, Marshal!" Hearing Yang Xi's order, the generals immediately stepped forward to agree, and immediately made preparations.

Yang Xi also immediately reported the situation to Li Jue, the king of Yan, who led the rear army to advance, and then ordered the sergeant to find a way to pass the situation to Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Yan Zhenqing, Li Siye, Helan Jinming, Zhang Xun and other generals who were coming quickly from the north, telling them the news that the rebels might be fighting among themselves, so that they could speed up their march and not miss the opportunity.

Just when Yang Xi received the secret letter from Luoyang City, there was already a dark tide surging in Luoyang City. An Qingxu was afraid of long nights and dreams, and after discussing with Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, Tian Qianzhen, Yin Ziqi and other close friends, he immediately prepared to start acting.

An Qingxu is not a person with outstanding ability, in terms of skills and strategy, he is not a grade different from An Lushan, and he himself knows this, so he was quickly noticed by his father and wanted to act as soon as possible.

The final result of An Qingxu's discussion with his cronies was to assassinate An Lushan, control Luoyang Palace and Shangyang Palace, and then declare that An Lushan was seriously ill, and spread the will of fake An Lushan, so that An Qingxu would act as the supervisor of the army and deal with the affairs of the court in an all-round way. This is the safest means they think, because the current An Lushan, the illness is not light, after receiving bad news from all over the country, under the anger of the heart, the condition is aggravated, and even accidents are possible. As long as he controls Luoyang Palace and Shangyang Palace, An Qingxu can pretend to spread An Lushan's will, deceive those ministers and generals who are unwilling to obey him into the palace, capture them, and replace all the defenders in Luoyang City with his own cronies to lead, so that the situation can be safely controlled and there will be no major turmoil.

After discussing it, An Qingxu also immediately started to act.

An Lushan's surname is suspicious, and the guards of the forbidden army around him are all cronies, if there is no permission from him, even An Qingxu, the crown prince, will not be able to go in and ask for a meeting, and it will be difficult to send assassins to assassinate An Lushan. However, An Qingxu already had an idea, he not only bought a few guards around An Lushan, but also bought An Lushan's personal attendant eunuch Li Zhu'er.

Li Zhu'er has served An Lushan for many years and has always been trusted by An Lushan, but during this time, Li Zhu'er, who has always been trusted by An Lushan, has also been punished from time to time.

Li Zhu'er was in charge of the assassination, and An Qingxu believed that only Li Zhu'er had the opportunity to assassinate An Lushan.

It was almost time, and Li Zhu'er, who had been personally ordered by An Qingxu, also started to act.

Li Zhu'er tucked a bayonet in his arms, and in the name of taking care of An Lushan, he sneaked into An Lushan's dormitory in a bright light. (To be continued.) )
