After An Lushan issued the order, he immediately ordered Sun Xiaozhe to take 50,000 troops as the front line to the Taohe front line to prepare for the Tang Dynasty to lead troops to cross the Yellow River and threaten Luoyang.

To be honest, this is also An Lushan's biggest concern, he doesn't have much worry about Ge Shuhan who is cowering in Tongguan now, after all, he knows the combat power of this person.

In the past few years of serving as the envoy of Fan Yang, Lu Long, and Hedong Jiedu, he can be said to have a thorough understanding of these Tang Dynasty generals. Ge Shuhan is timid, but he is a reckless man himself; Feng Changqing is a fox character, hesitant to do things, not the material to be a general, in comparison, he feels that the biggest threat is Gao Xianzhi, this person himself is strong in martial arts, not to mention that he marches and fights, and is even more unique, which is why he sent Cui Youqian and Tian Qianzhen, two powerful generals, to attack him together.

Surrounded by himself, Gao Xianzhi knew that his less than 100,000 men and horses could not compete with him, so he finally chose to retreat and went east to Lingwu to join the crown prince Li Heng.

The current situation is that the north bank of the Yellow River is all under his control, and although Ge Shuhan is brave, it is only a matter of time before he attacks it.

……

At this time, An Lushan did not take the army away, he knew very well that once he could not attack Tongguan within three days, with Shi Siming's character, he would definitely not be captured, in order to prevent him from mutiny, he must monitor him to attack Tongguan within this controllable range, and once this kid has the slightest intention of rebellion, he will be exterminated immediately.

Although this army is commanded by Shi Siming, most of these generals under him are not his descendants, once Shi Siming wants to rebel, as long as he shows up, Shi Siming will definitely not succeed.

Of course, decades of friendship also made him unable to fully believe in the noble and solemn words, but just in case, he still decided to see with his own eyes how Shi Siming attacked Tongguan this time.

……

In the Lingwu Army, the Chinese military tent.

The crown prince Li Heng sat on the handsome chair, and his face was a little proud.

He didn't understand that he hadn't done anything, just cowering in the city, but countless old generals of the Tang Dynasty came to take refuge. The first to come to him were Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, then Yu Chaoen, then Gao Xianzhi, then Bu Gu Huaien, Wang Sili, and finally Feng Changqing, when these big people came to him, they all brought abundant money, food, soldiers and horses, some tens of thousands, some thousands, plus Guo Ziyi and others during this period of time went out to catch strong men and forcibly enlisted people, plus the 100,000 defenders in Tongguan, counting his current strength, there are 400,000 people, which is not only the same as the number of troops in the Tang Dynasty, but also the number of troops in An Lushan, It is also similar, and it seems that it can cope with An Lushan's attack.

During this time, Sun Xiaozhebu often challenged in Lingwu.

At the beginning, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were ambitious and led their troops out of the city to fight. But unfortunately, several successive fights ended in the defeat of Guo and Li.

The reason couldn't be simpler. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are all talented generals, and their martial arts are even higher in the early stage of the transformation realm, and they have the courage to be unstoppable, but the battles on the battlefield are not something that one or two masters of the transformation realm can solve the problem, relying on the combat ability of the team. Sun Xiaozhe is An Lushan's general, and his martial arts are slightly inferior to Guo and Li, but once they face off, they are often defeated, with countless casualties.

There have been several battles, if it weren't for Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi who died in the battle hall, I'm afraid Lingwu would have been captured many times.

Battle effectiveness. Well-trained elite soldiers, where it is said that there are them. In order to rebel, An Lushan has long secretly trained his soldiers, especially Sun Bu, who is extremely brave, and has never failed once since he entered the Central Plains.

However, even so, An Lushan was not too satisfied with Sun Xiaozhe. This kid has what he can call the most elite troops, and his repeated attacks on Lingwu have been failures, which can be regarded as a disgrace.

However, noble words dispelled An Lushan's plan to gather troops to storm Lingwu. His words were like this: "Your Majesty, if you take the most elite soldiers to attack Lingwu, it is estimated that Li Heng will definitely not be able to hold it, and when the time comes, he will naturally learn from his Lao Tzu and run to those deep mountains and old forests, and play hide and seek with Your Majesty, so that he will lose the opportunity to annihilate Li Heng in one fell swoop." If it is reckless to capture Lingwu, I am afraid that this battle will take many years, once the sun and moon are extended, I can't say for sure what variables there are, but it must be cheaper in the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an. When the time comes, he will compete with the clam and the fisherman will benefit, but Your Majesty, you don't want to see it? ”

It can really be said that a word woke up the dreamer, and An Lushan immediately led the army to clear the treasury, pull strong men everywhere, and train soldiers and horses to deal with the forces from the Tang Dynasty and the Li family.

At that time, Du Fu happened to be in Shiqiao Village, and saw the situation of officers and soldiers everywhere, and wrote the famous "Three Officials and Three Farewells", the most famous of which is "Stone Entrenchment".

As a result, Li Longji's power in Shuzhong gradually weakened, and most of the generals chose to defect to his son Li Heng. In fact, since the death of King Sheng Li Qi in the hands of Shi Siming, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was a minister or many soldiers, felt that it was none other than the crown prince Li Heng.

Putting this aside for the time being, it is important to say that the current An Lushan, which has a well-trained army of 400,000, has now doubled the number of the army, to a full 800,000, looking down on the world.

This is why An Lushan is now relieved to supervise the war in Tongguan without worrying about Luoyang. Because Luoyang has two generals, Tian Qianzhen and Cui Youqian, who led 200,000 troops to garrison, it can be described as an impregnable wall.

……

At this time, Shi Siming was extremely angry in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this eldest brother, who had always trusted him, was forced to die this time. Hmph, for the sake of righteousness, don't kill my head, only the head of a group of soldiers?

The devil believes your words, and when the time comes, I'm afraid these soldiers will come and take my head?

He has always been a well-behaved person, and he is very experienced in what to say and what not to say. He was almost certain of one thing now, someone had entered his own slander in front of this reckless "Emperor Dayan", otherwise, with his friendship with An Lushan, he would not have been able to do this to himself.

Three days, three days to capture Tongguan. What's the difference between that and just saying that you're going to be killed?

Actually, Shi Siming is very clear. During this time, although his subordinates killed people everywhere and set fires, robbing gold, silver and beauties, they were never ambiguous when they were fighting.

It was Ge Shuhan, a fool, who desperately adhered to it, and took Tongguan to the sky, which can really be said to be "a man is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open", at the beginning of the period, he lost a lot of people and horses, so that he understood a truth, storming Tongguan, even if he paid the danger of annihilation of the whole army, he may not be able to succeed.

Although he has not read this Confucian saying, he knows that this is an unchangeable truth. Unless Ge Shuhan changed his mind and took the initiative to attack, otherwise, even if he now has 200,000 elite soldiers under his command, he is still at a loss. He knew that even if An Lushan came in person, I was afraid that the result would be similar.

But just that, the dog emperor wanted to cut off his own head.

What can I do?

For the first time in his life, Shi Siming faced the biggest test in his life. Rebellion is the next policy, he defeated Gao Xianzhi, defeated Guo Ziyi, and defeated Niu Seng and children before, these accounts, the Li family remembers them clearly; If he wants to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, it is something he is very unwilling to do, the biggest failure in his life is that he fell into the plot of the Tang Dynasty when he was in Fan Yang, and even his most proud weapon, the Xuantie Sword, was robbed by this kid, and he had a great hatred, so naturally he couldn't take refuge; In addition, taking refuge in foreign clans, although he is not worried about promotion with his own ability, but he is far from his ambition, and now he is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses in An Lushan, once he wins the world, he is the role of a very human minister, how can he give it up easily?

After thinking about it, Shi Siming gritted his teeth and fought hard, although it was only three days, as long as he went all out, it may not be impossible to capture Tongguan. If it is not possible to attack by then, then we will talk about the future.

He sneered in his heart, anyway, with my martial arts, plus these eight hundred personal soldiers I personally trained, it is still a simple matter to escape from An Lushan's men.

The idea is certain, and immediately send his son Shi Chaowei to Tongguan with his secret letter and sneak in.

……

In Tongguan on this day, after Ge Shuhan personally inspected the defense of various places, he was very satisfied, and laughed: "Shi Siming, you think I'm so stupid, come out and fight with you?" I'm not so stupid, I'll just stay here, and when the emperor's soldiers arrive, we will attack inside and outside to eliminate you traitors in one fell swoop. ”

During this period of time, especially after repelling Shi Siming's rebellion one after another, this made the Tongguan defenders more determined to defend steadily. Although the consumption of 100,000 troops is huge, there is abundant grain and grass in Tongguan, which can support at least a year, so there is no panic. And Shi Siming's idea is actually to surround it all the time, and when he runs out of food, he will naturally abandon the pass and surrender.

"Report to the boss, we caught a spy."

"Bring it on." Ge Shuhan had nothing to do left and right, and he happened to interrogate.

After a while, the spy brought it, but it was Shi Siming's eldest son Shi Chaowei.

Ge Shuhan laughed: "You think I don't recognize you, you are Shi Siming's eldest son Shi Chaowei, left and right, drag me down, cut it!" ”

"Yes!" The left and right generals also agreed to the thunderstorm.

"Wait, marshal, I have an important military situation to repay."

Ge Shuhan glanced at him, signaled his subordinates not to move again, and asked, "What is the military situation, let's hear about it." ”

"Returning to the marshal, this is a letter between Li Longji and the crown prince Li Heng, and the person who sent the letter was held by my father, you can see it first."

As he spoke, he presented a number of letters.

Ge Shuhan took a look, his face suddenly changed, grandma's, I thought this guy was a liar, but the content of the letter was obviously Li Longji's own handwriting. He is a favorite general under Li Longji, and naturally has a letter from the emperor. And there is also Li Longji's jade seal at the end, where is there a fake.

Looking at the contents, his heart was half cold, and it seemed that the crown prince Li Heng wanted to seize power. No wonder, no wonder I was trapped in Tongguan, Li Heng didn't send his generals to support me, it turned out that this kid knew that I was loyal to his Lao Tzu, so he deliberately didn't save me, but he just relied on me to contain An Lushan, so he could develop his strength.

Evil seed! So, where do I go from here?
