Chapter 64: The golden cicada sheds its shell

"It's not difficult, I'm just worried that the emperor won't accept it."

"No problem, tell me what you can do."

"Weichen thinks that the king has no jokes, and what he says still counts, not to mention the holy decree that has been issued."

"yes, what am I going to do?" An Lushan began to touch his head, a head like a winter melon.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, didn't Weichen say that there is a way?"

"Speak quickly, speak quickly."

"Weichen thought that since he had already issued a holy decree, it was better to make a mistake, and ignore the situation of the three-day order, but fabricated an edict, saying that it was the emperor of the new Tang Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, this kid suddenly crossed the Yellow River eastward, and Your Majesty, you had to return to Luoyang in person to set up defenses. In this way, it not only relieves His Majesty's worries, but also deals with generals you don't like, and at the same time reduces Luoyang's threat to Chang'an. Why not? ”

"Wait. You said that you asked other generals to fight the black pot of Tongguan for me, I understand; At the same time, strengthen the defense of Luoyang to resist the eastward advance of the Tang Dynasty, I also understand, I have been guarding against this kid; But I don't know what to do against a general I don't like. ”

Gao Shang smiled: "The emperor is in a hurry, and Rong Chen will speak for you." Think about it, what is the reason why the 200,000 well-equipped army, which has followed Shi Siming and fought with the Turks, Tianzhu, Tuqiu, and horse thieves for many years, actually surrounded Tongguan for 46 days and failed to break through? ”

"This ...... Shi Siming has followed me for many years, he is the most powerful general under me, if I doubt him, everything will be over, Lao Tzu warns you, don't fan the flames in front of me, who is a loyal minister, who is a traitor, I know better than anyone else. ”

Yan Zhuang saw it, and hurriedly played a round: "The emperor is angry, the noble meaning is not that General Shi is disloyal to you, but that General Shi has killed all the way and laid down countless prefectures and counties, and the beauties are like clouds, this, so many good things, who doesn't want to be happy, so when attacking Tongguan, it is not that he does not try his best, but ...... A little bit of a no-effort, yes, brother Gao? ”

"Yes, that's what I meant, I never said that General Shi was disloyal to His Majesty."

"Damn, it's all rice buckets. That's why I want to kill, but you stop me. An Lushan began to drink sullen wine, poured all the wine of a papaya into his stomach, his eyes flashed, and his face was full of fierceness.

". Shi Siming, this dog-day, only knows how to eat, drink and have fun with his soldiers all day long, and he doesn't put my world in his eyes at all, it seems that he doesn't know that I am now unpleasant to eat, and I can't sleep, there is the Tang Dynasty in the north, and Li Longji in the west, and they all want to eat my flesh and sleep on my skin, but he gave Lao Tzu this play. Good, good, good. ”

An Lushan laughed again, drank the wine of the other papaya in one gulp, and his face was full of smugness: "Come, I will give you a glass, strategist, not bad." I've always underestimated you before, but now it seems that it is very useful, this method you taught me is really fucking like Yang Guifei's slut girl-, tonight you forged a document for me, just say that the Tang Dynasty gave it to you, and you want to fight with me on the side of the Yellow River, when the time comes, when I convene the generals to gather early tomorrow morning, you can announce it, and I will say that I must return to Luoyang to set up defenses, and the matter of attacking Tongguan here will be handed over to Shi Siming, and when the time comes, once the task is not completed, I just cut off his head, don't you say I forgot, this guy is very honest on the surface, but in fact he is extremely cunning, it turns out that those strategies were obviously helped by you, but he said in front of me that he thought about it himself. Hmph, Lao Tzu has been friends with him for decades, I don't know what he is capable of, why do I think he suddenly became smarter, so that's the case. I will not let anyone who has been unfaithful to me live in this world. ”

Gao Shang and Yan Zhuang listened to it in his heart, his grandmother's, this guy is still like this to his most trusted subordinates, not to mention himself and others, it seems that Gao Shang's plan is right, no matter what, it is better to stay away from this tyrant in the future.

……

In fact, the noble and solemn ancestors were once killed by Li Longji for supporting Empress Wei, and the two of them fled to Fulin (Rome) with great difficulty, studied poetry and books for decades, and only returned to the north at the age of forty or fifty, organized forces, and wanted to assassinate Li Longji. But helplessly, they didn't meet a master like Li Bai, their martial arts themselves are not high, several assassinations, all missed in the hands of Yu Chaoen, the last time, although they found Li Longji, but after a fight, how could these two be Li Longji's opponents? It was Li Longji who asked for the reason and let them go. But it was obviously impossible for them to remember Li Longji's feelings, so they took refuge in An Lushan, and through the recommendation of Shi Siming and others, they became An Lushan's advisers.

But An Lushan's behavior today made both noble and solemn people furious in their hearts.

He made great contributions to him, but he just came out to persuade him, but he didn't expect that he would lose his head immediately, such a cruel person was by his side all day long, and the danger can be imagined.

The small provocation of the noble suddenly made the stupid An Lushan suspicious of Shi Siming, and sure enough, according to his own strategy, he gave Shi Siming a big problem.

If he wins, Shi Siming's status in the An army will undoubtedly soar, and at the same time, he has a grudge against An Lushan, blaming him for not caring about his life or death; If he is defeated, how can a person like Shi Siming be captured, and he will inevitably defect to the Tang Dynasty with his men and horses at that time.

In fact, the noble and the solemn have already quietly accepted Li Bai's generous gifts at this time, leaving a way out for him in the future.

At the beginning of An Lushan's proclamation as emperor, the Tang Dynasty had already sent Shewa and Li Bai to Luoyang to carry out activities, bringing with them a large number of gold and silver treasures, and the people to make friends were like noble, solemn and Anjun generals like Tian Chenghe; Of course, the objects that the Tang Dynasty wanted to make friends with were not only limited to An Lushan, but also Li Longji and Li Heng.

Originally, with the status of the two of them in the An army, coupled with the contributions they have made to An Lushan over the years, the possibility of rebellion is extremely low. After all, now An Lushan has been proclaimed emperor, as long as he assists him in laying down the country, he will be the founder of the country, and it is possible to pay homage to the prime minister, how can he have a second heart, but because of the fact that he almost lost his head this time, they had a different heart.

……

Early the next morning.

The fog was all over the sky, but the war drums sounded in unison among the Anjun army, and An Lushan summoned all the generals and colonels to gather in the Chinese military tent.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After kneeling down and shouting, the extremely fat man immediately stood up, his eyes were full of murder, and the needles in the tent could be heard.

An Lushan's "crown prince" An Shouzhong began to read the edict:

Fengtian carrier, Emperor Dayan edict said: Shi Siming led the army to capture Tongguan within three days, if it is not victorious, all the officers above the general will be beheaded, Qin this!

The place where the money is placed below is covered with the jade seal of An Lushan.

When Shi Siming heard this, he was angry and furious, but he didn't dare to say half a word in his mouth, but took the edict very respectfully: Mom, what is this head on my neck?

"Your Majesty! Wechen has something to play. ”

"Quasi-play."

"Weichen can be mediocre, in Tongguan for more than 40 days, he can't attack down, and now the emperor is here, just to supervise the attack, improve morale, this is the position of the main general, the minister is really worthy of the position."

"You don't have to be ashamed. What are you ashamed of? You only need to lead your men to drink wine, eat meat, and play with women in the tent every day, what are you ashamed of? Answer me, are there any of these things? ”

Thump!

Shi Siming knelt down in fear, I don't know which talkative guy actually played all these things, isn't this going to kill me?

"Your Majesty, please spare your life." He had no choice but to confess.

An Lushan opened his round eyes and looked at Shi Siming's head desperately: "Stupid! Did I say I'm going to kill your head? No. I just asked you to command the 200,000 troops, I want to see how you killed the Turkic Guyuan City back then, I want to see how you defeated Gao Xianzhi some time ago, I want to see how brave you killed the horse thief Huang Haotian back then. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Shi Siming kept kowtowing.

"It's good to understand, then I'll ask you now, are you willing to be the commander of the attack on Tongguan?"

"Return to the Emperor. If I am given ten days, I will definitely capture Tongguan, but ...... But the emperor said three days, this ...... How is this possible? ”

His last sentence barely said that you were borrowing a knife to kill someone.

"Good, good!" An Lushan said three good words in a row, and finally laughed, "Brother, we are brothers who have been friends for decades, although I don't like you to be free and loose and don't attack the city seriously, but I won't kill you." For you are my sworn brother, sharing in blessings and hardships. But these generals under your command are all friends of your life, if you can't attack Tongguan within three days, I will kill all these nearly 100 people in front of you, you can do it! ”

After finishing speaking, An Lushan made a look, and the noble and solemn stood up, showing the document in his hand to all the soldiers, which turned out to be an edict from the emperor of the new Tang Dynasty.

The book said: There are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords of the people, Your Excellency An Lushan, you call yourself the emperor in vain, so that I am deeply dissatisfied, and I can not decide the belonging of the world on the tongue, I will lead my elite soldiers, and the king will hunt in the Yellow River, fortunately in Luoyang to prepare early, otherwise, the army will arrive, and the jade will be burned.

The inscription below is the new Tang Dynasty emperor: the words Tang Dynasty.

After the edict was read, everyone was shocked.

An Lushan faced Shi Siming: "Do you know now why I can't personally supervise the battle of Tongguan?" It's because of the Tang Dynasty, this stinky kid. ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister understands." Shi Siming's heart is bleeding, you think I'm a fool, I don't understand your plan to get out of the shell of the golden cicada?

But these words, he could not have spoken.
