The winter snow is cold, and the two people in the broken grass hut are still talking at the moment, but they have changed from sitting on the opposite table just now to standing in the courtyard, both of them are holding a dead branch in their hands, while talking, while gesturing in the snow, the branches are drawn on the thick snow, and it has become a ready-made sand table map, it seems that Tiangong also seems to be attracted by the two, and deliberately fell this snow, so that they can play to their heart's content, and hide in the sky to secretly watch.

At this time, Mo Sheng showed Zhang Xun how An Lushan fought all the way from Fanyang to Luoyang, the location of the counties and counties he passed, which people resisted, which city surrendered, and what tactics were used. Speaking of happiness, the two of them simply walked directly to the courtyard and compared themselves to each other by the snow.

Zhang Xun has always been bold, he is confident that he has learned, a righteous spirit, and he scorns those traitors and filth, he is scornful, when he was the commander of Zhenyuan County, there is a small group of local tyrants and squires headed by the big official Hua Nanjin, and Hua Nanjin is known as "Jin Nankou, Ming Mansion Hand". These people are rampant, oppress the people, collude with the eunuchs, lawless, and have gathered hundreds of local arrogant armed forces under their hands, with knives, guns and sticks, all available, except for the lack of armor, other aspects are like the normal official military system, plus there are officials to protect them, and the villagers dare not provoke. After Zhang Xun took office, when he heard about this, he began to collect evidence and find out the truth. So he first sent an intermediary to secretly plot with the bully, and then he spoke in public, and decided to eliminate the harm for the people with only a dozen servants with his sincerity. He went to his residence in a big way, and lured him to the palace by stratagem according to the terms agreed by both parties. But as soon as the other party arrived at the mansion, he smashed the cup as a number, and directly pulled his five flowers to the door of the mansion. Until Hua Nanjin's head rolled out of the old way, he still hadn't figured out what this new county order was doing? Didn't you say that you would go through the motions as usual, why didn't this person play his cards according to common sense, and said that the two sides were acting for the people to see? Why did this person come really, he actually ordered someone to cut off his head, and the bully gave his life in such a daze, and he felt that he was not wronged until he died.

Zhang Xun stabbed the largest snake nest in the place, everyone is still waiting to see how he will be retaliated against, how to regret because of today's reckless actions, but a few months have passed, Zhang Xun is still the same Zhang Xun, the death of Hua Nanjin is like a dead dog, it didn't make a splash, and some people even rumored that the officials who used to protect Hua Nanjin all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and his canine thugs were either killed, or co-opted, or they were so frightened that they fled without a trace, in short, a huge force, After decades of intertwining, he was uprooted by Zhang Xun, a Confucian student, so lightly. After that, Zhang Xun, as usual, was simple in government, and Zhenyuan County, which was poor and weak, and like Qinghe County before, under his governance, it slowly became a blessed land of harmony, health, peace and tranquility.

After a few years of good days, An Lushan, who was provoked by Yang Guozhong, finally couldn't bear it anymore, he played the banner of "Qingjun side", gathered a 150,000 army of more than ten years, this group of troops and horses for more than ten years were mixed by An Lushan's department and Tongluo, Xi, Khitan, and Murowei, known as 200,000, from Fanyang to raise troops, in just a few months, from the bitter cold border, to the prosperous eastern capital Luoyang, An Lushan established himself as the emperor, and the country name was "Yan". The Tang Empire has been peaceful for a long time, and the good days of singing and dancing have been drunk and dreamed of death, and there are no soldiers available within the empire because of the abolition of the government and military system, and An Lushan, which has been operating for more than ten years, is like a wolf and a tiger The border army against the weak chicken cattle and sheep Tang Army, it is strange that it is not defeated. The rebels are like a bamboo, the momentum is huge, the states and counties they pass are too guarded by the county order, many of them are frightened by the rebels' bloody mouths, and they flee in despair, either admit their cowardice, or admit their father, or give their lives, the rebels' snowball is getting bigger and bigger, the bigger and bigger it is, and the fangs in their mouths are longer and sharper.

Tang Xuanzong is really remarkable, he deserves to be a strong man who compares himself to Wu Taizong of the Han Dynasty, he has been shrewd for most of his life, and it is not in vain that he comes to the dynasty from all directions. When he first heard that An Lushan rebelled, the saint just waved his hand and smiled and didn't believe it, the dead fat man would definitely not rebel, and he must have spread rumors by his subordinates, he even sent a team of envoys to appease An Lushan.

I don't want to, An Lushan, this thief is not kind, play really, the wind is tortuous, and he is about to hit the Eastern Capital in a few days, my dear mother, this can make the wise and martial Emperor His Majesty thunder inside and out, with a mouth, one will scold An Lushan for being an unfed dog, one will scold Yang Guozhong for forcing the dog to jump over the wall, and one will scold those northern defenders who eat imperial food are all rice buckets!

Scolding and scolding, the dog still has to be beaten, Xuanzong in addition to the show of the royal driving and personal expedition, and made a Shengming decision, he formulated and deployed a comprehensive defense of An Lushan: in addition to the Feng Changqing people sent out first, the Holy Emperor ordered Guo Ziyi to be the Shuofang Jiedu envoy, the right Yulin general Wang Chengye was Taiyuan Yin, Wei Weiqing Zhang Jieran was the Henan Jiedu envoy, and Cheng Qianli was the governor of Luzhou; Appointed Rongwang Li Wan as the marshal, Gao Xianzhi as the deputy marshal, led the flying cavalry, the Wei cavalry and Shuofang, Hexi, Longyou and other soldiers, and recruited Guan Fu recruits with forbidden money, totaling 110,000 horses, called the "Tianwu Army", sent troops to crusade against An Lushan rebels, and made a fate, and the army must be victorious.

On the first day of the lunar month, Gao Xianzhi set off from Chang'an, Xuanzong personally held a banquet for King Rong and Gao Xianzhi in Qinzheng Building, and went to Wangchun Pavilion to see them off, and ordered the eunuch Bian Lingcheng to be the supervisor of the army, and told Gao Xianzhi to enter Tunshan County, and he must fight quickly, and arrest An Lushan for me as soon as possible, I will pick his pants and pump his ass. Li Longji acted resolutely, thinking that he was foolproof, fat little Anzi, you are really naughty.

The story was not performed according to the script written by Emperor Xuanzong of Shengming, that fat little Anzi, this time he cut his good master fiercely, the kind that hurt his muscles and bones.

An Lushan, like his master Li Longji, also likes to recognize his godson, Li Longji recognized a bunch, and An Lushan also recognized a bunch. One of An Lushan's godsons, named Li Baochen, was originally the adopted son of Fanyang general Zhang Suogao, named Zhang Zhongzhi, who was selected by An Lushan as a shooting officer because he was good at riding and shooting. Later, Li Baochen entered the court with An Lushan, and was retained by Tang Xuanzong as a shooting child, and was able to enter and exit the forbidden palace. An Lushan's godson is very interesting, very scheming, and his personal bow and horse martial arts are good, plus he recognized three fathers, and he is very similar to Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian in the late Han Dynasty, so he has a nickname called "Little Lu Bu".

This little Lu Bu is really good, and before the godfather officially started the incident, he found an opportunity to escape from Chang'an City and return to Fanyang's nest. Soon, under the strategy and planning of the two great thinkers of He Qianqian and Gao Miao, Li Baochen led 20 Xi cavalry to Taiyuan, pretending to be a shooter, but Taiyuan Yin Yang Guanghui did not notice the plan and was robbed. More than 10,000 chasing soldiers did not dare to pursue, and then Xiao Lu Butun soldiers passed the Tumen, guarded the mouth of the well, installed a gate for An Lushan, and gave a good start, which can make An Lushan happy, and immediately gave him wine, rewarded the beauties, and pulled several cars of gold, silver and jewelry.

In the days that followed, the rebels, regardless of the generals, were red-eyed, hoping that they could also make a contribution like Xiao Lu Bu. In this way, the rebels holding high the banner of rebellion crossed the border like locusts, burning and looting all the way, and as soon as they entered Layue, An Lushan's army had already come to the Yellow River.

Looking at the turbulent Yellow River, An Lushan began to have a little headache, at this time the Yellow River angry waves rolled wider than a hundred zhang, how can this be passed. Just when An Lushan was in trouble, his advisers came to report that there were four monks outside the camp who asked to see them, and they claimed that the four of them would have the magic power of turning water into ice, and they only needed to take the hearts and minds of nine boys and nine virgins, and then take the stage to do the same thing, and the water of the Yellow River could be condensed into ice according to their decrees, and without oars, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses could cross this moat by stepping on the ice.

Of course, An Lushan was skeptical, he thought about it for a while, a few boys and girls are easy to find, and it doesn't matter if you want dozens or hundreds, as long as the method works, he will send someone to arrest it immediately. But if someone is caught, and the Dharma is done, if the Yellow River water does not freeze his face, where will he go? Therefore, An Lushan ordered that if the four monks could not make the Yellow River freeze, he would personally send these four monks to feed the carp of the Yellow River.

The four warlocks were not deterred by the punishment of cramping and skinning, and they swore that they would take the errand. An Lushan thought about the roaring and roaring Yellow River, and muttered in his heart, although his biological mother was a rather magical witch, but it was all some bluffing tricks, and now this is the power of heaven and earth that is as wide as a hundred zhang, and these warlocks can really freeze the heavens and the earth with magic spells alone? An Lushan naturally didn't believe it, but seeing that these four people dared to take their lives, he was still a little sure that he wouldn't come to his camp with his own food guy to find excitement.

After that, without An Lushan's too many orders, his subordinates immediately captured a bunch of boys and girls in the nearby city. The monks didn't say how old the boys and girls were, and the rebels didn't ask, so they simply grabbed the baby when they saw it, and they grabbed a bunch of big and small, and roughly calculated that it was no less than two hundred. Those few monks only said that they wanted nine boys and nine virgins, and this pile was enough for them to choose, and if it was not enough, they had to run again on a snowy day, which was really troublesome. As for those robbed babies and their parents, Lao Tzu doesn't care, he is in a hurry, and he treats them as a good deed!

Bah!

The four warlocks looked at the boys and girls who had been captured in an instant, dancing with joy, their scarlet eyes oozing with cannibalistic light, and they knelt in front of An Lushan, and their tones were even more firm. An Lushan waved his hand, and the four warlocks prepared to open the altar.

The four of them changed into their robes, arranged in all directions, the priest's magic weapon was placed on the central high platform, the four people had words in their mouths, one would pinch the law, the other would dance the magic weapon, and the surrounding wind and snow were also absorbed into four small tornadoes with the casting of the four people, and the four wind pillars converged to the central magic weapon. Eighteen selected boys were stripped of their essence, covering their mouths and tying their hands and feet, standing under the central altar naked, cold and frightened, their faces full of fear, their whole bodies were bruised and full of tears, and the tears mixed with blood were blown by the cold wind, and ice skates were frozen on the faces of the dolls. Behind each child stood a sergeant with a sharp knife, dressed in armor and with a fierce face, holding a dagger in one hand and pinching the dolls by the neck with the other, like a butcher ready to slaughter a chicken, waiting for the white knife to enter and the red knife to come out.

The warlock recited the incantation for a long time, scattering a lot of yellow paper talismans, and the four wind pillars became stronger and stronger. At this time, the warlock in the eastern position shouted:

"If the blood doesn't come, when will it !!"

As soon as the sergeants who imprisoned the boys heard this, their bloodthirsty eyes flashed coldly, and the sharp knives stabbed into the back of the boys' hearts with a pop, and their wrists flipped and stirred up again.

The consciousness of the dolls has long been numbed by the wind and snow, the sharp knife into the body only feels cold, and when the hot blood spurts out, it begins to feel pain, the boundless fear overshadows the damage of the body, their heads swing wildly, their limbs scratch wildly, their bodies twist, and the covered mouth roars but can't make a sound. The blood spurted more and more, and the screams became weaker and weaker, and the eighteen children finally stopped convulsing, and withered and helpless like fallen leaves.

The four warlocks kept casting spells, and the blood of the eighteen children was controlled by them with magic and sucked into the air, dyeing the snow-white wind pillars into scarlet, and after sucking them clean, the four wind pillars rushed to the river surface, each occupying a direction, and the breath between each other was horizontal, forming a red snow cover in an instant, and after the snow cover was formed, the warlock decided to slowly cover it on the river surface, and the rushing Yellow River water intersected.

The yellow water and the red snow fused together little by little, and slowly the water was melting and the ice was melting, and after an hour, the surface of the river was really several feet thick. An Lushan was stunned by the miracle in front of him, at this moment he was no longer interested in whether the team could cross the river, he was fascinated by the creation magic skills displayed by these four warlocks, it turned out that people can really fight with the sky. These four immortals are the artifacts of their own and Tiandou, such artifacts will be collected in the future, rewarded, rewarded, rewarded, warlocks should be rewarded, and those who recommend warlocks should also be rewarded, and whoever can recommend such immortals in the future can be rewarded with anything. As long as the immortal law has a spirit, he can afford to pay more price, gold and silver treasures, heaven and earth spiritual objects, that is not a problem, as for the lives of those untouchables, it is not worth mentioning!

Everything in the world is me!

Overnight, the water of the Yellow River froze like a pontoon bridge, tens of thousands of troops stepped on the ice, An Lushan himself ordered someone to drag a big boat to the ice, he was supported on the big boat, and ordered his subordinates to prepare for the rescue of falling into the water, detaining four warlocks by his side, checking at all levels to ensure that he was foolproof when crossing the river, as for the dozen boys and girls who were thrown into the wind and snow, he couldn't remember at all. As for the remaining hundreds of boys, they will be pulled at the back of the line, and they will not be of use in the future.

Below the ice layer several feet thick is the water of the Yellow River that is still rushing forward, thousands of people dragged the mighty huge warship, and crossed to the opposite side under An Lushan's iron blue face, the moment he was down-to-earth, An Lushan breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled and talked with the four monks "Immortal Master Long Immortal Master Short". Four monks were rewarded, and later they privately murdered those children who did not sacrifice, more than two hundred boys, what a rare supplement, the four brothers have never been so rich, no wonder the old saying "learn to become a martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family!" "Following An Lushan, at least there is endless blood sacrifice, it's worth it!

Tens of thousands of horses crossed the river without danger, and the overjoyed An Lushan rarely listened to people's advice, and deliberately put an incense case to worship the heavens and the earth, and his subordinate ministers Pingwei were even more talented, so he wrote an article, advocating that An Lushan was the chosen son, and the rebels were even more demoralized, so An Lushan led the crowd to cross the dangerous Yellow River from Lingchang.

"Such an evil demon, I really want to eat its flesh raw!"

Hearing Mo Sheng tell about the four warlocks who sacrificed their lives, Zhang Xun turned pale with hatred and clenched his fists, such a heartbreaking behavior was the most intolerable for him, a Confucian scholar with a heart for the world. After cursing angrily for a long time, Zhang Xun calmed down a little and continued to ask:

"Mr. Mo, is there really a spell in the world that can condense water into ice? This... This... You're making it up, aren't you? ”

Zhang Xun listened to Mo Sheng's account of someone who could condense the Yellow River into ice, and although he hated the cruelty of his methods, he was also shocked by the incoherent words of the final result. Mo Sheng is not angry, any ordinary person who hears such a description does not suspect that it is abnormal.

"Yes, there is a water condensation trick in the Five Elements Escape Method, which can borrow the power of heaven and earth to convert water into ice, which can be regarded as a kind of profound magic power."

Mo Sheng didn't care if Zhang Xunzhi didn't know what the Five Elements Escape Method was, and explained it in 1510.

"It turns out that there is really such an immortal method, but it's a pity that the method is too vicious, and it needs to be sacrificed with human blood, but it's a pity!" Thinking of the innocent boys and girls who died in vain, Zhang Xun's interest in this immortal method that conquered the heavens and the earth greatly decreased.

"In fact, those people can't be regarded as a real immortal method, it's just an eye-blocking method in the escape method, and the ice condensing method is definitely a part, and it is more of an eye-blocking technique. Their own strength is not enough, if they are really masters of the Dao, they don't need to set up an altar at all, let alone sacrifice with the blood of a child, the Dragon King of the Yellow River has to listen to the order with a wave of his hand, let him cut off the flow, let him freeze and he will freeze, but that kind of realm itself is already equivalent to the Dao Law of Heaven and Earth, and it is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Mo Sheng continued to talk leisurely, and Zhang Xun at the table was already shocked by these words.

He is a mortal, a mortal who doesn't know anything, he just heard that someone can condense water into ice, and this person in front of him is tired, and he is not shocking and endlessly proposes that someone can wave his hand to cut off the mountains and rivers, and can also drive the dragon king, what are these tiger and wolf words, is this still the world I am familiar with?

"Actually, Lord Zhang doesn't need to be shocked, Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun among your subordinates are not mortals, Lei Wanchun is invulnerable, borrowing wind and rain, Nan Jiyun is powerful and infinitely arrowy, they are all learning magic powers, but this kind of magic power involves a wide range of things, and ordinary people are more in awe of it. After all, people are always full of fear of their unfamiliar territory. ”

Mo Sheng continued to explain, Zhang Xun listened to him talk about the people around him, and slowly came to his senses, yes, after all, there is something peculiar about others, and there is no need to boast about it when he meets people, think about his own past, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is not an unbelievable talent.

"I guess Mr. Mo is also a warlock, right?" Zhang Xun looked at Mo Sheng and asked.

"Actually, to be precise, people like us should be called cultivators, and warlocks are just one type of practitioners. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, derived from the cultivation of thousands of ways, the twin brothers born to the same father and mother may have different attributes, different specialties, and the practice has never been step-by-step, so since ancient times, the practitioners have been masters to guide the way, pondering on their own, you will be stronger if you are thorough, and you will be weaker if you can't see through, and there has never been a fixed number. ”

Since the topic has been brought here, Mo Sheng doesn't mind explaining more, and Zhang Xun of the province is shocked by those unnatural behaviors that exceed his previous cognition, and it is quite difficult to communicate.

Zhang Xun was still digesting Mo Sheng's words, he thought of the miracles in the past, Lei Wanchun could always predict the wind and rain in advance, Nan Jiyun was infinitely powerful, and he could nail the enemy to a tree with an arrow, and the Mr. Mo in front of him who raised his palm as a knife, now that he thinks about it, he is a cultivator, and he has shallow knowledge, and he doesn't know how many jokes he makes. After drinking in silence for a while, Zhang Xun suddenly thought that since these people with high skills are willing to follow him, they must have the characteristics that they admire, otherwise they will follow them by themselves, they follow themselves and believe in themselves, he must be more attentive and worthy of the trust of these people. Thinking of this, Zhang Xun continued to ask Mo Sheng about the situation of An Lushan's march after that.

An Lushan's rebels are all elite, invincible everywhere they go, and An Lushan deliberately connived at his subordinates, so the rebels are scattered and destroyed, and I don't know how many they have been destroyed. Xuanzong ordered Zhang Jieran, the envoy of Henan Jiedu, had just arrived in Chenliu for a few days, and his buttocks had not yet warmed up, and An Lushan and the rebels were already in the city. Zhang Jieran commanded the army to the city, the Tang army at the head of the city are all the masters of the day, who have seen hundreds of thousands of military horses with real swords and real guns, the black and the black can not see the edge, the blood of the rebels does not seem to have dried up, and the soldiers who defend the city like tigers and wolves are seen by the common people on weekdays, and at this time they see the hideous and terrifying rebels, they are frightened, and they have become rabbits, and their hands and feet are trembling and powerless to resist.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, in the face of the hideous and terrifying rebels outside the city, Chen Liutaishou Guo Na collapsed first, he wrote a table of surrender and voted for An Lushan. The mighty An Lushan entered Chen Liucheng from the north gate, and his son An Qingxu saw the list of thieves issued by Emperor Xuanzong, and took it down to An Lushan to see. He put his hands on his chest and cried several times, and asked in a loud voice:

"What sin have I committed against me, that I should kill my son!"

An Lushan's hatred was monstrous, he waved his big hand, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered were tied up by the rebels and knelt on the side of the road, lined up in a neat line, and then the knives fell, and the big heads rolled into a pile, and it took several hours for tens of thousands of people to be cut down, and the blood on the ground was bright like the best wine in a cup. The tens of thousands of people who surrendered didn't know until they died because An Lushan's son An Qingzong was killed, and tens of thousands of people became his scapegoat martyrs to vent his anger. But also, the cycle of heavenly principles, if they surrender without a fight, they will be slaughtered, and the epitaph left to them is only eight words.

"If I lose a son, you will pay for it!"

Zhang Jieran, the guard sent by the imperial court, naturally couldn't escape, he swore not to surrender, his subordinates were gone, and he himself was beheaded at the military gate, An Lushan hung his head on a high pole, and then sent his henchman Li Tingwang as the envoy of the festival, sent troops to garrison Chen Liucheng, and he led the army to continue to Changluoyang City.

Zhang Jieran, who was above the high pole, glared angrily, and he didn't bat at him! While looking at the rebels in the distance, and looking at Chang'an City farther away!

The tide of An Lushan's army rolled to Xingyang, Xingyang Taishou Cui Wuxu was a bloody son, swore to lead the soldiers to refuse, but he had the intention to kill the thief, and he was unable to return to the sky, and the soldiers heard the sound of the rebels' earth-shaking drums and horns at the head of the city, and they all retreated, and no one dared to fight, leaving only the Taishou Lord who stood at the head of the city with a hoarse voice full of tears on his face, and the soldiers guarding the city were far away from him, leaving only the lonely body waving a knife and swaying in the wind and snow.

On the eighth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the rebels captured Xingyang City, killed the Taishou Cui Wuxu who did not surrender, and An Lushan ordered his general Wu Lingxun to guard here. After the fall of Xingyang, the eastern capital of Luoyang was in danger, An Lushan with his generals Tian Chengsi, An Zhongzhi, Zhang Xiaozhong as the vanguard, the whole army was dispatched, and it was bound to take the eastern capital Luoyang City.

That day, Luoyang City was silent, long gone when the empress was alive to look at the world, the goddess dragon that burned all over the world has been lonely, helplessly waiting for An Lushan These jackals to bite, at this time Feng Changqing, who guarded Luoyang, was also mixed with tastes, and secretly had a headache.

The situation is stronger than the people!
