Chapter 90: Quelling the Rebellion (Finished)

For the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the Tang Dynasty was busy with land reform and government and military reform, and basically ignored Shi Siming, who was cowering in Hebei Province.

Although Shi Siming has received the support of the remnants of the Fanyang Lu family, the Qinghe Cui family and the Boling Cui family, and the manpower, material resources and military strength have been greatly strengthened, but compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is still not enough, after all, the main force of the rebel army has followed An Lushan to Chang'an and wiped out the entire army in Huayin County, Shi Siming only has 20,000 more troops in Lulong Town, even if he has the support of the Lu family, Cui and other family masters, the strength is less than 50,000.

Therefore, Shi Siming did not rush to attack, but has been operating Hebei.

Especially the rebel Lao Chao Ji County, which was built into a strong city by Shi Siming.

Shi Siming's mind is still very clear, he knows that with the strength of the rebels, taking the initiative to attack the Tang Dynasty is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and only by defending Youzhou to wait for work can it be possible to defeat the Tang army with a weak victory.

However, all this was useless, and Shi Siming soon found that all his efforts were in vain.

In the first month of the fifteenth year of Datang Tianbao, after nearly a year of rectification, ten of the eleven roads of Datang finally restored order, the reform of the new military system has been completed, and the land reform has been basically completed.

In February of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, the hussar general Li Siye led the 16th Weixinfu soldiers out of Tongguan to attack Shi Siming.

After hearing the news, Shi Siming hurriedly ordered the army of the entire Hebei Province to be assembled and prepare for a decisive battle with Li Siye's army.

However, after the news spread, the various military prefectures and counties in Hebei Province actually turned around one after another and returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.

In less than half a month, all the states south of Youzhou had been reversed, and Li Siye's army did not suffer any decent resistance, and advanced all the way to Youzhou.

……

After Shi Siming received the news, he was about to go crazy.

"Why? Why? Why is this happening? ”

Facing the Lu family, the Cui family and other family masters, Shi Siming asked three whys in a row, he couldn't figure it out, the various states and counties under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province obviously had the strong support of the family Gaomen, and the rule of the Yan army could be described as solid.

Shi Siming even envisioned that after the Tang Army entered Hebei Province, it would be difficult, and even difficult to move an inch.

In this way, after Li Siye's army advanced to Jixian County, he would be exhausted, and then he Shi Siming would lead the elite of the Yan army to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and he would have a great chance to defeat the Tang army.

However, the reality is cruel, the Tang army did not encounter any resistance after entering Hebei, and rode a horse and danced Hu Xuan dance along the way to Jixian County, how to fight the next battle?

"The saints are the people, and they all blame those people." Cui Taigong of the Qinghe Cui clan said.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all to blame for those people who are fighting for the tiger." Lu Taigong of the Fanyang Lu clan also said, "These Diao people don't know where they got the news, knowing that the Diao people in Henan Province, Hedong Province and even Dugi Province have divided the fields, they are all crazy, and Li Siye's army has not yet been killed, and these Diao people have already rebelled first." ”

Cui Taigong of the Boling Cui clan also said: "After discovering that the Diao people were in turmoil, our families gathered all the guests and family members to suppress it in the shortest possible time, but there were too many Diao people, so they cut a stubble like a crazy weed, and immediately grew another stubble, which was really unstoppable, so I ......"

"So you threw away all the dozen or so states south of Youzhou?" Shi Siming was already angry, and said without hesitation, "Why don't you fight with those Diao people to the end?" That's your ancestral business, and you all actually gave up when you said to give up? There is still a face to come to Youzhou, why don't you die? Give me all death! ”

The heads of the Lu family, the Cui family and other high-ranking families and the guests looked at each other.

In the end, Shi Chaoyi reminded: "Sage, now is not the time for these, the top priority is to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible, if you are determined to defend it, then you need to clean up the villages and towns outside the city as soon as possible, if you retreat to Pingzhou or Yingzhou, then you need to transport the materials hoarded in Fanyang City to Pingzhou or Yingzhou as soon as possible, after all, the Tang army has already entered Youzhou, and there is not much time left for our Great Yan Kingdom." ”

"Retreat?" Shi Siming looked at Shi Chaoyi with a faint gaze, "Do you think our Great Yan Army can still have a way out?" ”

Shi Chaoyi was silent, and the rest of the generals and the heads of families such as Lu Taigong and Cui Taigong also looked gloomy.

The richest and most densely populated areas in Hebei Province are more than a dozen prefectures south of Youzhou, and several prefectures from Youzhou to the north such as Pingzhou, Jizhou, Danzhou and Yingzhou, etc., are barren and sparsely populated, and the key is that they also border the territories of Hu tribes such as Xi and Khitan, and may be attacked by Hu people at any time.

Hu people are mothers if they have milk, and Datang can rebel against them if they give some benefits.

Therefore, if it is really retreated to Pingzhou or Yingzhou, the Yan army will be a dead end.

At that moment, Shi Siming shouted with a dark face: "Spread the decree, drive all the people outside the city into the city, and the defenders of Yongnu and Changping counties will also retreat to Fanyang City!" ”

……

At the end of March of the fifteenth year of Datang Tianbao, Li Siye's army entered outside Fanyang City.

Immediately, the Tang army set up camp outside Fanyang, and Li Siye stationed more than 300,000 Tang troops around Fanyang, which was not intended to leave a way for the rebels to escape.

It is said that the siege of the city should be surrounded by three que.

But this time, the Tang army was surrounded on all sides.

Li Siye was also puzzled by this, and asked: "Dare to ask the Heavenly Master, why do you want to surround Fan Yang on all sides?" Don't you know that after besieging the city from all sides, the thieves will have no hope of escaping and will resist stubbornly, so the siege will be much more difficult. ”

"Siege?" Lu Tianshi's phantom appeared in Li Siye's big tent, "There is no need to attack the city." ”

"Ahh Li Siye and the generals under his command looked at each other, "Doesn't the Heavenly Master have a strategy to break the city?" ”

Lu Tianshi didn't hide it, and said: "This seat has already rebelled against the two fierce generals under Shi Siming. ”

"I see." Li Siye and his subordinate generals were overjoyed, and said in their hearts that it would be easy to fight with the Heavenly Master.

Lu Tianshi said again: "Tonight it is the turn of one of the fierce generals to guard the south gate, and the other one will be in charge of the rebel general Shi Siming's guard, at the beginning of tonight, one of them will open the south gate of Fanyang, and the other will lead the army to attack and kill Shi Siming, so you only need to enter the city to receive the city and the rebel prisoners." ”

……

At the beginning of the meeting, Shi Siming was awakened from his sleep by the sound of killing.

hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, but saw his eldest son Shi Chaoyi entering with a lance.

Seeing this, Shi Siming suddenly shouted in shock: "What does the shaft want? ”

Shi Chaoyi said: "Grandpa, it's urgent, please go quickly, go quickly, go quickly!" ”

Shi Chaoyi roared three times and walked quickly, when Shi Siming was still in doubt, another sturdy Yan army general walked straight in with a lance in his hand, and saw that Shi Chaoyi was coming over without saying a word.

Shi Chaoyi hurriedly waved his lance to block, but he couldn't block it.

only heard a poof, Shi Chaoyi was stabbed in half.

At this time, Shi Siming also saw the general's face clearly.

"Gao Tinghui?!" Shi Siming said angrily, "It turned out to be this traitor!" ”

The coming general is the number one fierce general under Shi Siming, and he is also a famous general in the Yan army, Gao Tinghui.

Gao Tinghui sneered and shouted: "Shi Siming, you are the real traitor, take your life!" ”

After that, Gao Tinghui waved his lance to take Shi Siming, Shi Siming was originally a member of the Yan Army, but in recent years, he has already been hollowed out by wine, how is he Gao Tinghui's opponent?

However, in Sanhe, Shi Siming was stabbed to death by Gao Tinghui.

Gao Tinghui pulled out a knife from his waist and cut off Shi Siming's head.

Then he carried Shi Siming's head and shouted: "The thief head Shi Siming has already given the head, if you are willing to surrender early, the Tang Dynasty can still not blame the past, if you dare to resist, you will be killed!" ”

The rebels who arrived on hearing the news laid down their weapons one by one.

In March of the fifteenth year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Siming, a rebel general of the Yan Army, was awarded the head, and the Anshi Rebellion came to a complete end.

The Anshi Rebellion in history caused serious trauma to the Tang Dynasty, making the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline and open the history of the division of feudal towns, but this time, the Tang Dynasty only hurt a little bit, and Lu Tianshi even took the opportunity to pacify the Anshi Rebellion to solve the two great problems of land annexation and class solidification, which made the Tang Dynasty rejuvenated.

Testimonials:

The main story of this book has been told, so it's time to finish it.

To be honest, the results are like this, and I really don't have the face to write any testimonials, but I still can't help but want to say a few words to the old readers who have always supported the swordsman.

The last book "Han Taizu begs me to help the Han Room", as well as this "Monitoring the Tang Dynasty", are two attempts by swordsmen.

Because the traffic of traditional historical texts is too low, no matter how good your story is, no matter how high the subscription ratio is, but it can't attract new readers to click in and read, the results are only like that, and the boutique is basically the upper limit, so the swordsman wants to try to add gimmicks, hoping to attract new readers, but everyone has seen it, and it is miserable.

It turns out that gimmicks or brains are not so easy to write.

It is not good to write without the ability to structure the plot that matches the gimmick or brain hole.

It took the swordsman half a year to hit the street with two books, and finally understood this, what a painful feeling?

I remember a reader laughing at me, I have written novels for more than 20 years, and I still don't understand how to write them, which sounds really harsh, but what I said is also true, I really don't understand the logic of writing books, I think most authors should also not understand the logic, otherwise there would not be so many street works.

It's just that it can't be said that there is no harvest at all, and there is still a harvest.

The first point is to make it clear to the swordsman that he can't control the gimmick.

The second point is an unexpected joy, allowing the swordsman to regain his former fast pace.

I wrote a lot of wireless essays in Genesis, so that the swordsman got used to the slow pace, and I haven't been able to jump out of the slow-paced comfort zone in the past few years, but this "Monitoring Datang" made me unexpectedly find a fast pace.

Finally, let's talk about the next book, if you continue to write history, there is a high probability that you will write the end of the Song Dynasty, that is, from the Battle of Yashan, the protagonist is a clan, the Southern Song Dynasty after Yashan can no longer be regarded as adversity, it is completely desperate, but turning the tables from a desperate situation is the best way for swordsmen to open, isn't it?

It may also return to the anti-Japanese theme, which has not yet been decided.

It is also undecided when the new book will be uploaded.

Because I have been busy with renovation during this time.

Everyone, see you when you open a new book!
