Chapter 1 Anshi Rebellion General of the Troubled Times
In 756 A.D.,
Tang Anshi Rebellion......
Winter, frustrated sun.
The night is windy, and the ice is bitingly cold.
At this time, the frustrated sun was filled with smoke, and the flames between the walls of the dark city burned it, showing that the frustrated yang had just experienced the baptism of war.
A haggard-faced young general stood atop the wreckage of the city wall, looking worriedly at the fire-filled camp outside the city, and his vision was clear of the campfires moving back and forth.
He knew that it was the rebels who were hatching some siege plan.
This is the only reason why he is worried about the enemy's further movements.
While he was thinking, a beggar interrupted his thoughts.
"General, go down to the city, it's too cold up there."
It was the youngest guard beside him, whose face was moist but scarred across his brow, and his resume could not hide his immature voice: he joined the army in March, licked the blade twice in May, and had four or five of his men hanging their heads from the military ledger.
And he is only fifteen this year, seven years younger than the young general, and even has a horn after his hair.
The general's face stiffened, and there was a touch of softness.
"Wen Yi looks like a beggar, what's wrong? Scared of tomorrow's Angou rebels? ”
The little guard was very dissatisfied: "How can you look down on the kid? I feel even better than the general now! ”
"Haha, little clever ghost, go! Let's go down together. The young general shook his head and smiled bitterly, and without explanation, he just patted the little guard on the shoulder, and the two of them descended the stone staircase into the city.
………
And in the barracks outside the city,
One tent in the central tent is obviously larger than the rest of the tents, plus the yellow flag made of silk, and the weaving of the word "An" is slightly majestic. Standing out from the crowd, only a sharp and angry voice could be heard.
"You bunch of shit! It's been three days! Before you captured Fuyang, didn't you all claim to be the current Lu Bu? Cheng Yu? Do you boast that you are resourceful and invincible? What's going on now? I can't even take down a little frustration, a bunch of waste! What do you want? Yes? Speak! Waste! ”
I saw a fat body wearing a crown of armor in the center of the camp, but it was wriggling like a maggot when pacing back and forth, and he squinted his eyes at the surrounding generals and civil and military forces while roaring angrily.
An Lushan.
The character who has influenced the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years is this fat man who is angry and does not rush to the crown, and only cares about roaring.
"A small general defending the city, with no more than four or five thousand people to defend Fuyang, we have 100,000 warriors, and we haven't captured it for three days? Cai Xide, An Shouzhong, I gave you two 20,000 soldiers at the beginning, but the progress of the three-day siege was not progressive, you are too disappointed! An Lushan spoke sharply, pointing at the two generals in the audience and yelling.
I saw that the two of them were depressed, and they could only accept the scolding of King Yan with their heads drooping. But in fact, both of them are fierce generals who charge into battle, not siege weapons, and there is nothing they can do about the defeat of the siege.
At this time, there was a middle-aged man in the audience who was particularly different from many civil and military affairs: the eight-character beard was left and right, and the extension of the cheekbones showed the insidious and cunning of this person, and the only point was that his eyes were wide and deep, and he looked like a wise person.
And he was the only one in the audience who looked calm.
This person joined the army for the tent marching army solemnly, and now he has six out of forty, and he only hopes to assist An Lushan to take away the Li family in his lifetime.
Compared with An Lushan's own impatience, as a strategist, he looks at the overall situation more rationally.
But seeing that this person was annoyed when he saw An Lushan, which caused Cai An's second general to suffer, he sighed secretly, and stood up to be a peacemaker:
"I think King Yan's blame is that the failure of the siege is indeed the fault of General Cai and General An, but the Yan Kingdom is thriving under the governance of King Yan, and it also needs civil and military talents to govern, and the Yan Kingdom needs ministers and wise men who stick to the law, so that the theory of the eternal death of the country can be broken, so King Yan still doesn't want to add the mistakes of the generals."
An Lushan's heart was rough, but he could still listen to the needles of his own military division, and he was originally annoyed, but he also agreed with Yan Zhuang's words:
"Mr. to tell the truth, Lone loves to listen, Lone has been preparing for Yan for too many years, but a frustrated Yang, Lone dominates Hebei, and becomes a horn to surround Frustrated Yang, if you can't attack it in three days, then attack it for three days, Cai An The two generals don't blame themselves, don't say it."
Cai Xide and An Shouzhong slightly restrained their fear, and knelt down again and again to thank them.
And Yan Zhuang sighed with a hint of relief, fortunately, at least King Yan can still listen to his own words now.
However, rebellion itself is an unpredictable path. On the road, you can only keep moving forward. After all, An Lushan is not Dong Zhuo's generation, and his ability can never be called a master, but he can also accept the advice of his subordinates, although his temperament is capricious, but this is enough.
Troubled times are already coming, and we just bring them forward.
solemn and silent, ignoring the generals singing and dancing, quietly left the camp.
Looking at the winter night with the wind, but there are also stars, there is light in Yan Zhuang's eyes, and there is no light.
Another sleepless night.........
………
"Whew!"
"Move the wood!"
"The rebels must not be allowed to come up!"
"Kill! Kill! ”
The shouts on all four walls rang out, and the severed limbs and arms often flew up and down, leaving a bewitching red thickness.
At this time, the sun is just rising, even if it is winter in Hebei, it is by no means a warm sun, and the daytime sunlight is also viciously fierce.
Most of the soldiers in the city had chapped lips, and blood marks could be seen in the cracks, and it turned out that the water had been cut off, and they had not entered for two days, causing more and more people to faint, and it was already noon, and the rebels had also attacked for two hours.
The soldiers defending the city were anxious, because there were fewer and fewer defenders in the city, and the young generals who shared their troubles did not know?
Originally, more than half of the 4,000 soldiers he brought with him had been killed or wounded because of the three days of continuous fierce fighting, and the water source was cut off by the rebels, and the Tang army, which had been cut off for two days, had a large number of soldiers fainting and could not fight.
"Trouble ......"
