The snow flies down, and the wind touches the surface like a knife; The silver is vast, and the snow falls like an arrow.

The hour is almost time, sporadic snow flakes have become goose feathers, Suiyang City has fallen asleep curfew, the noise of the day has long been lonely, occasionally there will be a few dog barks, I think it is the passerby who hurried home, startled the yellow dog who guarded the door, the loyal old yellow dog opened his throat and barked outward, and startled the owner who fell asleep, the master was noisy a little angry, so he cursed a few words to the old dog, and got the owner's response, the yellow dog felt as if he had been rewarded, lowered his voice and barked a few more times, then he entered the nest with peace of mind, and began to lie on his stomach and pretend to sleep.

Mo Sheng's thatched hut is getting colder and colder at the moment, but the two people in the thatched hut are all boiling blood at the moment, in their world, the sky is neither there is the earth, and there is only the person on the other side of the universe. Zhang Xun gave Mo Sheng a big gift, Mo Sheng finally persuaded him, and the two of them sat down again, both of them sorted out their moods, thought about their words for a few days, and slowly spread out from this moment.

"Does Master Zhang think Suiyang can be kept?"

Mo Sheng fell again, took the lead first, and waited for the other party's reply.

Zhang Xun didn't answer immediately, thought for a while, and asked in a steady tone.

"Do you think it's okay to keep it, sir?"

Mo Sheng was asked by Zhang Xun's rhetorical question, he originally thought that Zhang Xun would either say that he could defend it or that he couldn't defend it, but he didn't guess that Zhang Xun would not answer, but instead kicked this question back to his side a little recklessly. If it was usual, Mo Sheng had no interest in continuing to talk, this kind of joke in the market was very choking, but Mo Sheng knew that Zhang Xun was not laughing at himself, the other party's eyes were sincere, his tone was steady, and he was really asking him for advice.

"It's okay to keep, but it's not easy to keep!"

Mo Sheng replied very simply, before he came to Suiyang City, Mo Sheng had already deduced how to defend Suiyang countless times on the drawings. After coming to Suiyang City, he carefully studied, from the base of the population level in the city, the consumption of food and materials, and even the location of each well in the city, he made detailed records, combined with what he had learned, and formulated a detailed strategy for defending the city. Everything is ready, only the hearts of the people are missing.

The city is dead, the people are alive, Mo Sheng is not afraid of the low city wall, but afraid of the unfathomable hearts of the people. In Mo Sheng's view, the most important thing to defend a city is not whether there are natural dangers and reliable walls, but whether there are sincere teachers. The wall can be covered if it is low, but if the people's hearts are low, it will not be able to be built.

Mo Sheng's choice to guard Suiyang was also researched and formulated by the Ink Guild. The rebels are menacing, and the court has been comfortable for too long, so it is impossible to attack, so they can only choose to stick to it. Dozens of elders in the Mo family, hundreds of city guards like him, thousands of spies and secret posts all over the world, a large amount of information gathered into the clan every day, the route of the rebels, the movements of the army in the court, which city and which people have surrendered, which people are openly counterattacking, and which people are still wavering, all after careful summary calculations, they can even accurately calculate which city can be breached at what time, which people will be traitors and when, for those who have become traitors, they have sent elite assassins, As long as the time permits, they will attack with thunder, and those who resolutely fight back, they have also sent mature city defenders, hoping to make a difference, as for those who are indecisive and watching the fire from the other side, there are naturally people from the Mo family around them, and everything is going according to plan. The heart of the ink is the ear of the world.

Suiyang is located at the gateway of Jianghuai, if Suiyang City is broken, Jianghuai is not guaranteed, Jianghuai is not guaranteed, and the Tang Dynasty is dead. Therefore, whether it is the court or the rebels, they are determined to win Suiyang, and the ink guild naturally understands how important the survival of Suiyang City is, and more importantly, Suiyang is the ancestral land of the ancestor Mozi, and the rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Han Dynasty was blocked in Suiyang of the Liang State, and the ancestors of their ink people also participated in the defense of the city, and now it is the turn of An Lushan to rebel, and Suiyang cannot be lost. Therefore, for Suiyang, the Ink Guild attaches great importance to it, and I heard that the new emperor of the court issued an order, and Xu Yuandian was the new Suiyang Taishou after the famous minister, and a lot of ordnance and material reinforcements were transferred, but there was a shortage of people and horses, and the court was extra gracious and allowed Xu Yuan to recruit people and horses on his own. Xu Yuan himself was ordered to be in danger, in order not to dishonor the reputation of his ancestors, he sold his wealth, recruited sergeants and craftsmen, and prepared to defend the city desperately. After the Ink Guild studied it properly, it sent the old and brave Mo Sheng to Suiyang City, and instructed them to do their best to help Xu Yuan and Suiyang City desperately.

Mo Sheng and his entourage traveled under the stars and nights, and it only took four days to arrive outside Suiyang City, Mo Sheng as the leader, he divided his more than a dozen people into three roads, all the way hidden in the official road outside the city, always probing the movements of various military horses, all the way hidden in the river outside the city, lifting the waterproof road to the army, all the way in disguise, turning into a craftsman refugee into the city, one to grope and be familiar with the layout of the city, and the other to check the enemy spies should be in an orderly manner. Mo Sheng himself also handed Xu Yuan a token, indicating his identity, firstly, he was indeed defending the city solidly, and secondly, he was also figuring out the thoughts of Xu Yuan and others. After all, the reincarnation of heaven, people's hearts are unpredictable, Xu Yuan received the emperor's grace, actively prepared for war, behind the fanfare is a gesture or forgetting to die, the surrender faction under the banner of capturing thieves, there are no one hundred and eighty, so Mo Sheng and his people watched coldly in this city, waiting for changes.

Xu Yuan's mind Mo Sheng has not yet figured out, and a Zhang Xun appeared out of thin air, Zhang Xun's bottom is not very clear, the world's Jiedu envoy soldiers and horses make Taishou generals, there is no such person, since he knew that Zhang Xun was coming to Suiyang, Mo Sheng immediately arranged for his subordinates to search for Zhang Xun's information, and on the third day, Zhang Xun's situation was almost clear, and Mo Sheng couldn't calm down for a long time after reading the information about Zhang Xun.

The heroes of the world can compare with Zhang Patrol, there is no one in a thousand miles!

This unknown person actually thundered like a flat ground, and his voice was mighty.

The energy of the Ink Guild is very large, almost all the royal courtyards in the world, famous ministers and generals, strange people, literati and, they know everything, even the gods, ghosts, fairies and demons that are not known to the ordinary people, and they also know a lot, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, these high-ranking cultivators themselves are members of those strange groups. But Zhang Xun is really not very clear, not because they are not well-informed, but because Zhang Xun is too inconspicuous. It is the year of the Mandate of Heaven, but it is still a small county order, although the background is very high, Jinshi and the first, but the sea has been up and down for more than 20 years, but it is still a small green-robed sesame official, there are thousands of such people, where there are so many pen and ink manpower to record and study, but there is a general under him who is famous, and is called "the first arrow in the world" by the world, although this "first" is insignificant in the eyes of outsiders, but after all, it is also the first in the world, not to be underestimated.

Nan Jiyun, the world's first Mo Sheng, is understood, born in a poor family, and occasionally entered a hidden door, because of his own high talent, and willing to endure hardships, he learned a great skill, and after completing his studies, he joined the army, because of the extraordinary force and strategy, so Qingyun went straight to the top, and became a general, very "ten thousand enemies" spirit, but I don't know why, such a great character, but in this troubled era is willing to follow a small Zhenyuan county order.

Zhang Xun's secret report information is very thick, the more he looks back, the more excited Mo Sheng becomes, who would have thought that a small county order would have such brilliant results. According to the data, Zhang Xun is well-read, proficient in the military law of the battle array, ambitious and informal, and the friends he has made in his life are some people with lofty ideals, generosity and benevolence, and he hates and spurns those vulgar and arrogant people, which is also the reason why he is obviously of high birth, but he is not reused by the imperial court. The person who can say in public that Yang Guozhong, the first person in the dynasty, is "the party is the strange auspicious of the country, and the eunuch cannot do it", and the order of a county can still sit in peace, which is also blessed by God. Zhang Xun has a good performance as a county magistrate, he is sympathetic to the suffering of the people, has many good deeds, and deals with the bully squire, a master who is so bold that even the prime minister of the dynasty dares to mock him, killing those stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the township is really a small test. has been like this for more than 20 years, because it is really not good at officialdom management, although there is great talent, but it has not been used, until An Lushan rebelled, Zhang Xun's latent grandeur was slowly revealed.

In the fourteenth winter of Tianbao, An Lushan finally couldn't wait for Xuanzong's death, and the seventy-one-year-old man was in good health, and it was said that he had to drink with his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan every night to have fun. An Lushan's original antipathy was not so big, although the emperor looked down on him, but he was a barbarian, if it wasn't for the benefactor General Zhang Shouqi, he might have been caught and slaughtered when he was stealing sheep. He has more than 100,000 tigers and wolves, and he is not so far away from his idol and Wang Zhonghe, the first person in martial arts. It's just that with the expansion of power, the desire in his heart began to slowly swell, he was not born a good person, he drilled into the camp to form a party, met the subordinates, distorted the desire for power, he liked the scene of people flying between his waves, obsessed with the fearful eyes of the subordinate sergeants, intoxicated by those who were in power bowed their heads to flattery, admired even his son's submissiveness when he saw him, he hated Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan's contempt for his bones, hated the treacherous and filthy Yang Guozhong, He was afraid of being told what was right and wrong and made up rumors, and he was afraid that he would end up like an idol.

An Lushan has loved and hated, and he also wanted to be a famous general who left a name in history, he wanted to write his name in the biography of famous ministers, and wanted the people to be famous for a hundred years. It's just that every time I think of Wang Zhonghe's majestic power like a mountain, because of the emperor's suspicions, the mountain collapses and collapses in an instant, and the first person of the empire, who was glorious and domineering in the past, actually fell into such a desolate and bleak place. He was afraid that he would be treated like that, so he wanted more soldiers and horses to protect him, he wanted greater power of life and death, he wanted to be his own master, so he forbeared, he put his face in the crotch of his pants, he recognized Yang Yuhuan, who was seventeen years younger than him, and recognized his mother as Yang Yuhuan, who was seventeen years younger than him, and danced that Hu Xuan dance like a clown at the banquet of the Manchu Dynasty, and was picked up and dressed as a baby to wash his body, and he was full of shameful words in his fat belly, waiting for the day when he would return the blood to these people one by one.

Li Longji is a stupid smart man, he likes my pretended loyalty, although he knows that I am pretending, but he is willing to believe, I am willing to say, as for the prince Li Heng, who made a tool, your father slaughtered three sons in one day, you can live a few more years if you are smarter, although you know that I am the dog that your father raised to deal with you. But you can't be a father until your father dies.

Li Longji rewarded me with a lot of good things, and he trusted me surprisingly, I tried to say that I wanted to be the prime minister, and he readily agreed, and even allowed me to come to his back garden.

Hahahaha, a person who doesn't even believe in his own son will believe me as a barbarian. But although you are a cold-blooded person, you are still really good to me, you and I are your dog, I miss your kindness, when you die, I will bite your children and grandchildren to death, you don't know anything when you die, and it doesn't count me ungrateful, I have a good conscience!

An Lushan endured and suffered, he boiled to death the invincible Wang Zhonghei, and survived Li Linfu, who broke the way of studying in the world, he looked forward to the old emperor who was eighteen years older than himself to die soon, he boiled day after day, and he was about to collapse, that old guy was still tough and tough, Yang Guozhong's dog always bites in front of people, and will say in the emperor's ear that I am rebelling, and then send a dog leg to investigate. When I used to be a dog, wagging my tail under my feet and begging, I don't know what kind of goods, I didn't expect to rely on a mother-in-law to climb on my head, so that I can be the prime minister without learning anything, but the hateful thing is that this thing is a leprosy dog, just like to bite me and let go, no wonder people say, cast the new master's dog, bite the old master to work extra hard. A few days ago, his son and daughter in Chang'an, Kyoto, came to a secret letter, saying that Yang Guozhong, a dog thing, actually took someone to raid my house in Chang'an, and beheaded the visitor Li Chao and a group of people, his grandmother's, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, what time is such a day is a head, is it bearable or unbearable, Lao Tzu is not waiting, Wang Zhonghei is dead, Li Linfu is also dead, he has raised so many people and horses in his hands, plus the family valve who has been secretly communicating with him all these years. Let's ask in the world today, who can stop me An Lushan, just turn against his mother now, and when Lao Tzu kills Chang'an, he will definitely cut off Yang Guozhong's dog head to make a night pot.

An Lushan is really invincible, Wang Zhongsi is his idol, but also his nightmare, he knows that as long as Wang Zhongsi does not die for a day, he will not be able to sleep well for a day, that mountain-like majestic body is destined to be unable to cross the moat. For this political opponent imposed on him by the emperor, he can only secretly play tricks and use tricks to deal with this frank and unrestrained true hero, and he can only use the next tricks. He knows that there is only one person in this world who can get rid of Wang Zhonghei, that is the emperor Li Longji, it just so happens that he understands Li Longji very well, he is ruthless and vicious, he never trusts anyone, his son, he also kills if he wants to, as long as he feels that this person is a threat to him, you Tianwang Laozi, you have to die.

So he used the trick that the emperor taught him, and worked hard to make Li Longji feel that Wang Zhongji was very strong, so strong that no one could resist it, and An Lushan was a finch in front of him.

Wang Zhonghe, the adopted son, will never rebel, Li Longji understands this very well, and everyone in the world understands this, but the adopted son will not rebel, and the biological one may not be. The story of the change of Xuanwu was done by his ancestors, what is his father and brother, if you block me, you have to die, the things in the bones of their old Li family will not change. He can be this emperor himself, and the flesh and blood of his own family under his feet are no less than those of his ancestors. The sons were born of himself, and his virtues are similar. Wang Zhonghe, the adopted son, is very loyal and capable, but his relationship with the prince is not too good. The own son who has been the prince for many years will not look forward to his early death, or can't wait for his early death. Although there are a lot of sons, but they have already slaughtered a few, it is not good to use the knife again, the mouths of the people in the world are not easy to block, since the prince is not easy to kill, then unload his arm, loyal heir to my son, not for the father's heart, only blame you for being too great.

Wang Zhonghei ended up depressed, An Lushan made a little effort himself, Li Linfu made a little effort, Concubine Wu Hui made a little effort, the prince poured another fire, and the emperor took the knife. Wang Zhonghei died inexplicably, most of An Lushan's heart disease was gone, and the other half was fulfilled in his prayers, and Li Linfu, who pulled him up with one hand and kept him awake at night, also died. Wang Zhonghe's fist and Li Linfu's mouth were the two things he feared the most besides the emperor. Since then, no one has been able to make him An Lushan sleep uncomfortably, Yang Guozhong, Ge Shuhan, Fumeng Lingcha, Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi, Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, Fugu Huaien, Chen Xuanli, none of them are his opponents, and the world is not at his fingertips.

Who would have thought that I, a barbarian breed who steals sheep to make a living, will one day win the world.

An Lushan was the opposite, as many people expected. Although everyone knew that An Lushan would rebel sooner or later, many people were still caught off guard when they really got the news. panicked, the generals were a little panicked, the ministers were a little panicked, the princes were a little panicked, the counties were a little panicked, but Emperor Xuanzong was not panicked at all. Wang Zhongsi had already reminded him that An Lushan was ambitious, and Li Linfu also said that Yang Guozhong was talking in his ear every day, but he didn't care at all, a lowly Hu man died fat, it was really reversed, and it was not a backhand that could be destroyed.

Therefore, when the Taiyuan County Shangzhang said that An Lushan rebelled, His Majesty the Emperor didn't care, he thought that it was Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu who disgusted An Lushan and made up rumors and slanders, but on November 15, more and more people wrote the book, and what they said was also with noses and eyes, and Li Longji was convinced that An Lushan really rebelled. However, in the end, he is a figure who is accustomed to seeing storms and waves, Li Longji is not in a hurry, he summoned the prime minister and ministers in the Huaqing Palace to discuss and plan. At this time, Yang Guozhong's heart was full of joy, and his smug expression was overflowing, look, I said that An Lushan was going to rebel, you don't believe it, this time it's really the opposite, my vision is very accurate. Complacent, things still have to be done, His Majesty the Emperor opened Chrysostom and asked him what to do, Yang Guozhong's mind was lively, his eyes were even more unique and ruthless, and he replied to the emperor's question:

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought that the opponent was only An Lushan himself, and the soldiers were not willing to rebel with him. In a few days, the traitor will be defeated, and Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. ”

Xuanzong also felt that what Yang Guozhong said was right, forgive you for being a dead fat man, it is not impossible to make a big climate, but he was bitten by Yang Guozhong a few days ago and lost his temper. Although he knew that it didn't matter, he still had to do it, so he sent the general Bi Sichen to lead the troops to Luoyang, Tokyo, and the general Jinwu Cheng Qianli to the counties of Hedong, each recruiting tens of thousands of troops, and training with the regiment to resist the rebels.

On the day of November 16, it happened that Bian Lingcheng strongly recommended Anxi Jiedu to make Feng Changqing enter the pilgrimage to see, Xuanzong knew that he had been guarding the border army for more than 20 years, and the foreign enemy cried and shouted his mother, and he was counted as the number one person, and it was said that Gao Xianzhi also had the title of "Imperial Shuangbi", so he asked him about the strategy of rebellion, Feng Changqing was very confident, and boasted that his talk was the Tao, Xuanzong was also very happy to hear it, and on the 17th, Li Longji appointed Li Yi, the king of Wu, as the Lingchang Taishou and the Henan Governor of the Soldiers and Horses, and Feng Changqing as the envoy of Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu. Ling Feng Changqing rushed to Luoyang, Tokyo on a stagecoach to recruit troops on the same day, and fought against An Lushan with Bi Sichen. Feng Changqing was also resolute, but he raised 60,000 horses in just a few days, and then broke the Heyang Bridge, and unified all the soldiers and horses in Henan to prepare for the defense of the army of An Lushan.

However, His Majesty the Emperor, who was in Huaqing Pool and enjoying the hot springs, did not wait for An Lushan's head, and the report of his defeat was like snowflakes flying in the past few days, which made him lose face. State affairs are important, and His Majesty the Emperor was reluctant to give up the warm mountain spring and the soft Yang Yuhuan sisters, so he had to return to Daming Palace from Huaqing Pond first. The first thing the emperor did when he returned to Chang'an was to slaughter An Lushan's sons and daughters in Chang'an to vent his anger, and then instructed his subordinates to send those heads to An Lushan to me. killed someone, the saint still felt that he couldn't hold his face, and he had a whim, it was better to have a royal conquest, so that he could save some of the face of the heavenly family. So, Xuanzong returned to the past domineering, with a wave of his hand, on the seventh day of the lunar month, Xuanzong ordered the system, I wanted to personally command the soldiers and horses to conquer the An Lushan rebels, Shuofang, Hexi, Longyou counties soldiers and horses in addition to staying in the city, the rest were led by the Jiedu envoys, all assembled and set off, and arrived in Chang'an City within 20 days.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Xuanzong discussed with the minister in the court about the personal conquest, and ordered the prince to supervise the country. In the face of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Xuanzong played a trick to put his heart in his heart:

"I have been on the throne for almost 50 years, tired of political affairs, and I wanted to pass on the throne to the crown prince last autumn, but because of the flood and drought, I am not willing to leave my descendants with the remnants of the disaster, and I want to wait for the disaster to improve. But I didn't expect to rebel against the rebellion of Juan Lushan, and I should be a personal conquest and let the prince supervise the country. After the matter was settled, it was passed on to the crown prince".

Yang Guozhong knew that His Majesty was going to recruit in person, and he began to feel that His Majesty was just talking and pretending, but he didn't expect to play really in the court today, which is unacceptable, and the courtiers were terrified when they heard it, kowtowing to petition His Majesty the Emperor. Yang Guozhong was even more frightened, he knew that it was useless to ask the emperor at this time, even if he conspired with the three ladies of Han, Yu and Qin, so that the third lady persuaded the concubine to ask for his life to Xuanzong, so that he could take pity on the beauty, His Majesty Xuanzong, who had originally sworn to behold, looked at Chu Chu's poor beautiful lady, and waved his hand, let this matter stop!

Zhang Xun, who is in Zhenyuan County, naturally does not know and does not deserve to know these major events in the court, he is also the first time to hear about these today, Mo Sheng's narration made him have mixed tastes, and he really didn't know how to judge what the emperor did, so he had to be silent, and Mo Sheng listened to him.

Zhang Xun is the order of Zhenyuan County, the Linghu Chao next door is the order of Yongqiu County, the anti-thief general Zhang Tongyu led the army to capture Song Cao and other states, Yang Wanshi, the Taishou of Qian County, surrendered to the rebels, and the Zhenyuan County where Zhang Xun is located is exactly within the jurisdiction of Zhen County. After Yang Wanshi surrendered to the enemy, he recommended Zhang Xun as the chief historian and ordered him to lead his troops to the west to meet the rebels. Zhang Xun learned of the rebellion of his boss and his "love", ashamed and indignant, he led the people to cry in the temple of Emperor Xuanyuan of Zhenyuan, and then tore up the official letter of appointment, denounced the Yan bandits, and raised troops against the rebels, Zhang Xun responded to more than 1,000 people.

On the one hand, there are hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf rebels who are thundering, and on the other hand, there are the co-masters of the world, and the more than 1,000 people led by Zhang Xun are like the banners at the head of the city, drifting with the wind, and the future is bleak, I don't know when, they will be swallowed by the rolling torrent. Zhang Xun didn't know how long he could last, he only knew that he didn't forget his heart and did his best.

There is a poem called "Wen Di" written by Zhang Xun in Mosheng's materials, which may explain something!

As soon as he tried it, he rode to the city. Don't distinguish the color of the wind and dust, and know the heart of heaven and earth?

The door is open and the moon is near, and the battle is deep. Upstairs at night, I heard the sound of the flute.
