The Tang Dynasty can be said to have ushered in the best opportunity for development, in less than a month, occupied a large area of the Central Plains, except for Li Qi's 50,000 troops to hold Luoyang, most of the area of Henan, has been under the control of the Tang Dynasty. Once the contest of ten thousand armies is over, the Tang Dynasty can use the little knowledge it has learned in history books and learn from the experience of Zeng Guofan in establishing the Hunan army, let the soldiers choose generals, and select the army in the future.

The 300,000 army, even with the huge financial and manpower of the Tang Dynasty, could not be successfully trained overnight.

However, it is said that since An Lushan raised the army, the power along the way has been like a bamboo, and it has flocked into the Central Plains from the north, and the land along the Yellow River is in the hands of the rebels. An Lushan led the army slowly, but his generals Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Tian Qianzhen, Cui Youqian, Tian Chenghe, etc., had already led the pioneers to occupy a large area of land and approached Luoyang.

Once Luoyang is lost, An Lushan must rush to attack Tongguan to threaten the newly occupied Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty occupied Chang'an with lightning speed, and the news soon reached the ears of An Lushan on the edge of the Yellow River, which made him furious, and called the envoys of the Tang Dynasty on the spot, cut off his head with his own hands, and ordered the head of the envoy to be held back.

"Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate for you to do this." It was An Lushan's close minister Cui Youqian who spoke.

At this time, although An Lushan did not claim the title of emperor, his personal guards and soldiers had already changed their names to "emperor".

An Lushan scolded with his fingers: "What is the Tang Dynasty, I don't want to think about what kind of goods I am, I think that if I occupy Chang'an, I can give orders to me, you look at what this guy said in the letter, he actually wants to share the world with me equally?" Hehe, what kind of thing is he, isn't he just relying on the 100,000 troops given to him by his father-in-law, how can he fight against the king's 400,000 army? ”

"Your Majesty's words are wrong! The Tang Dynasty preemptively occupied Chang'an, obtained countless grain, grass, gold and silver property, and was no longer the Tang Dynasty that lacked soldiers and food. ”

"Pedantic! It took me seven years to train my subordinates, even if this kid has a bit of a knack, if he wants to train his elite soldiers, if he doesn't have three or five years, then he will also use it as a show, and when he meets my army, it will be like tofu. ”

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate the enemy. Guo Ziyi is known for his prestige under Li Longji, and his own martial arts are extremely high, but what he didn't expect was that the Tang Dynasty actually defeated him in the confrontation, and his strength can be seen. Moreover, behind this person, there is also Nanzhao's 100,000 army, if it is against us, our side has no chance of victory. ”

This time it was Tian Chenghei who was not only strong in martial arts, but also known for his wisdom and wisdom, and was deeply valued by An Lushan.

"Hehe, Tang Dynasty child! It's just that I have won a few battles and has a little reputation, how can it be my opponent, you go down, I have my own arrangements! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two stepped back.

In An Lushan's heart, there was a feeling that the victory was in hand.

He seems to be reckless, but he is actually a very shrewd person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to play so many tricks in front of Li Longji without being seen through.

It turned out that a few days ago, he received an envoy sent by Li Gesang, the king of Nanzhao, Tie Ning.

This person is the head of the Imperial Forest Army, the person Li Gesang relies on the most, and this envoy should represent Li Longji.

He conveyed the meaning of Li Gesang, but there was no letter.

Of course, An Lushan still remembers the scene at that time.

"You are the chief governor, you have come all the way to our army, there must be confidential matters?"

"My lord really sees everything, in a word. I have indeed come to you at the behest of His Majesty to discuss further cooperation. ”

"Let's just say it."

Tie Ning attached his ear to An Lushan and said: "My Majesty's intention is to form an alliance with General Wolf Zhengxuan, first occupy a large area of land in Luoyang, seize the rich land, and wait and see what happens. ”

The land of Luoyang, since Wu Zetian, because of the government's relocation of the hukou, coupled with the convenient transportation and fertile land in the Luoshui area, has gradually caught up with or even surpassed Luoyang, and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

"The Tang Dynasty is not Li Gesang's son-in-law, and he is the successor of Nanzhao's crown prince, although this matter is secret, but since the emperor is going to start an incident, he still knows a thing or two about these things, why does His Majesty Li Gesang want to guard against the Tang Dynasty like this?"

"This time, that time. In the past, the Tang Dynasty did make great contributions to Nanzhao, and also saved the life of my emperor. Directly to the Tang Dynasty to be the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, His Majesty Li Gesang trusted him, but it was not until a month ago when he besieged Chang'an that His Majesty found out that the Tang Dynasty had a lot of ambitions and was suspected of betrayal, so he ordered me to come to the army of adults to plan cooperation. ”

"The army led by the Tang Dynasty was originally his men and horses in the conquest of Lingnan, Anxi and Jiannan, and now he is the first to occupy Chang'an, and he did not use a single soldier of Nanzhao, this is to preserve the strength of Nanzhao, why is he suspected of betrayal? Moreover, he himself is the heir to the throne of Lygesang, why is it said that he betrayed? ”

"Adults don't know. The Han people of the Central Plains have an ancient saying, called 'Gong Gao Zhen Lord'. His Majesty Li Gesang is so talented, but he only unified the six departments of Nanzhao, and he did not dare to really win the Central Plains. But the merits of the Tang Dynasty not only saved His Majesty's life, but also helped His Majesty pacify the civil strife in Nanzhao, and successfully went undercover by Li Longji's side, and became the Huangmen Shilang Tongzhongshu Men Pingzhangshi, and entered the service, and successively served as the Lingnan Jiedu Envoy, Anxi Duhu and Jiannan Jiedu Envoy, especially when Jiannan, he once gave me Nanzhao all the people to sit and eat food for ten years, and there were 100,000 male soldiers under his command. Isn't it possible to worry His Majesty with such a meritorious achievement? ”

"Do you mean that the Tang Dynasty meant to replace Li Gesang?"

"Not bad! Even if he doesn't mean it now, he will definitely have it in the future. My Majesty said that no matter who occupies Chang'an, the whole world is under his control, and it is inevitable that he will do something arrogant. ”

"Yes. Reasonable. If I were Li Gesang, I would have doubted it. ”

"No, you don't know. We are not suspicious, but there is definite evidence that the Tang Dynasty already had the intention of rebellion. ”

"How so?"

"A month ago, His Majesty Li Gesang and Marshal Wolf Zhengxuan together led an army of 100,000 Nanzhao to Yangping Pass, but the annoying thing is that it was the Tang Dynasty's henchman Londo who was guarding Yangping Pass at that time. "Just think about it, with Yangping Guan, even if His Majesty wants to attack, he may not be able to fight in a hurry, besides, the two families are one, and they use swords and soldiers in vain, but let outsiders see jokes. It's just that my generalissimo wolf has always had a strategy, and at this time, why not take advantage of Li Longji's inability to defend it, seize the grain, grass and materials, and occupy Jiannan. His Majesty listened to his suggestion, and now he has occupied Jiannan West Road, compressing the 100,000 troops of Xianyu Zhongtong in Mianzhu, outside Chengdu, unable to move. The country is prosperous, and now it is a north and a south with adults, if an agreement can be reached, the world must be in our control, I hope you will think twice. ”

An Lushan was overjoyed, walked back and forth in the camp tent dozens of times, slapped it with a snap, and smashed a table in Taomu: "Okay, this emperor has decided to cooperate with Li Gesang, after occupying Luoyang, wait and see what happens, and after the Tang Dynasty and Li Longji divide the victory and defeat, then choose the rest of them and attack them together, and divide the land of the world equally, wouldn't it be happy!" ”

Tie Ning was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that An Lushan was fat and fat on the surface, but his martial arts were already very amazing, and what made people despise was that he had already proclaimed himself the emperor and learned some sour literary style.

But as soon as he heard him say this, he knew that the things entrusted by His Majesty had finally been completed, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Xie, if Your Majesty hears this news, he will definitely be very pleased." Why don't you have the villain here, sign an agreement with the adults, and work together to keep the alliance forever? ”

"Shit! Do you have so many false texts? You, just bring a message back, just say that our two families have formed an alliance, wear a pair of pants, and deal with this little thing of the Tang Dynasty and the old thing Li Longji together. ”

As soon as Li Longji was mentioned, An Lushan's eyes shot a murderous light, and Tie Ning immediately thought that this guy was in such a hurry to raise troops against Tang in order to rob Yang Yuhuan. Perhaps, the person he wants to kill more is not the Tang Dynasty but Li Longji.

"This ...... It is a very solemn matter to conclude an alliance between the two countries, and I hope that the Lord will build an altar and prepare three animals at a certain date to form an alliance. ”

"What kind of bullshit rules, can you use such trouble?" An Lushan's beard blew up.

Seeing this, a sharp-mouthed man who looked like a master behind him hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said in his ear: "Your Majesty! The alliance between the two countries is a very solemn matter, and this man is right; Also, Li Gesang is now suspicious of the Tang Dynasty, but has formed an alliance with the emperor, this is God's help to Dayan, and he wants to use Li Gesang to stop the Tang Dynasty's ambition to be the emperor, why not? ”

An Lushan suddenly woke up: Yes, the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly a difficult opponent, but with Li Gesang holding him back, this kid can't afford to make a big difference.

"Your Majesty An Lushan, I don't know when your army will be able to capture Luoyang, otherwise, there is a possibility that all the Yellow River area will fall into the Tang Dynasty?"

At this point, the messenger shouted: "Newspaper! General Cai Xide occupied Luoyang, captured Li Qi, the king of Sheng, and invited the emperor to enter the city! ”

"Hahahaha, I know that Li Qi is a straw bag, sons, let me set off immediately and drive to Luoyang, the eastern capital."

Seven days later, under the auspices of An Lushan's generals Shi Siming and An Qingxu, Nanzhao Li Gesang officially formed an alliance with An Lushan.

This matter is extremely secretive, and of course it must be hidden from the Tang Dynasty.
