Zhang Xun in the wind and snow listened quietly to Mo Sheng's story of last year's battle, and had great respect for Li Xin, Lu Yi, and Jiang Qing in his heart, not only admiring their high wind and bright festival, but also regretting their generosity.

"What Yan Zhenqing did is undoubtedly very harmful to the rebels, but compared to his fellow brothers, this injury is nothing!"

Mo Sheng, who drank another glass, sighed, he put down the wine glass, and continued to say word by word:

"The Yan family has a son, named Gaoqing!"

Yan Gaoqing is a person, but An Lushan gritted his teeth for a long, long time, because of him, An Lushan's road to rebellion was much more difficult.

Yan Gaoqing was originally an official because of his father's relationship, he had a straightforward temperament, and he was also very talented as an official. Although Yan Gaoqing's starting point is not high, he has been diligent as an official and has made remarkable achievements, and he has also grinded to the position of acting Changshan Taishou for decades, and it belongs to An Lushan's territory in terms of geographical location. In the early days of An Lushan's army, from Boling to Gaocheng, passing through Changshan City, Yan Gaoqing could not face up to more than 100,000 rebels because of his small territory and weak troops, so he and Yuan Luqian, the chief historian, opened the city gate to welcome An Lushan, and looked like he was obedient. An Lushan is very happy, the people on his own territory are still obedient and sensible, and when he is happy, he will reward Yan Gaoqing with a purple official robe, and then pretend to praise, I heard that your Yan family has always been loyal and brave, so I chose an outstanding one from the children of the family and went out with me, so as to make meritorious contributions and glorify the lintel.

Yan Gaoqing understands that this is a trick to take the son as a hostage, how can An Lushan be such a shrewd person, how can he not worry that Yan Gaoqing is in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, and he will detain his biological son to his side, if you Yan Gaoqing want to play any tricks, you must carefully weigh your son's fate. Yan Gaoqing's own iron heart is to fight against An Lushan, and the son he sent out will definitely not come back, but for the sake of the great cause, he can only give up his son for the country. An Lushan was very satisfied with Yan Gaoqing's cooperation, took Yan Gaoqing's hand, and praised him for being a handsome person who knew the times and was a person he trusted very much.

"The son of the king is my son, I will take good care of my son, and the annoying king will stick to this Changshan city with all his heart, and when he wins the world, there will be princes and princes who will be sealed in the king."

Before setting out on the expedition, he sent his subordinate son Li Qincuo to lead thousands of troops to guard the Jingchengkou, one to prevent the Tang army from attacking from the west, and the other to monitor Yan Gaoqing's every move. On the way back from sending him off, Yan Gaoqing pointed to the purple clothes given by An Lushan and said to his friend Yuan Luqian:

"Although purple clothes are expensive, how can we wear them"?

Yes, this purple-clothed official robe that can only be worn by the third grade or above is a great temptation for every official. With a background like Yan Gaoqing, and being in a court controlled by treacherous ministers like Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, let alone this life, the purple robe that may not be worn in the next life. It's a pity that although the purple robe is good, it is a thief's clothes! Yuan Luqian and Yan Gaoqing have known each other for many years, and they are confidants between each other, he knows what Yan Gaoqing means, and now shows the intention of resisting thieves, Yan Gaoqing is very pleased, so the two burned the purple official robe, and immediately returned to the residence, plotting how to raise troops to deal with An Lushan.

It is the most fatal person to stab oneself with one's own knife.

An Lushan has been invincible all the way since the incident, and there are few opponents, so it is inevitable that he will be complacent, and people with a reputation like Yan Gaoqing also admire and submit to him, and he only feels that although the world is big, it is also at his fingertips. Sorrow comes from joy, and joy is born from sorrow. The happy An Lushan didn't expect that Yan Gaoqing, who was obedient to him, would really stab himself, and this stab was really terrible!

Although Yan Gaoqing superficially attached himself to the rebels, it was all an expedient measure, and it was not brave to be strong knowing that he could not do it, but recklessness. Yan Gaoqing knew that with his own manpower in Changshan County, it was not enough to stuff An Lushan's teeth, and it was one thing to be loyal to Datang, and it was another thing to be able to turn this heart into actual benefits. Yan Gaoqing and his colleagues sighed with emotion, worried that the traitors were powerful, he knew very well the strength of the rebels, the eastern capital Luoyang is estimated to be unable to hold, after Luoyang, only Tongguan can be defended, once Tongguan is damaged, the thieves are bound to drive straight in, which will endanger the foundation of the Zongmiao Society, and the Li Tang Dynasty is in danger.

His younger brother Yan Zhenqing is the Taishou of Pingyuan County, and the two brothers have been writing incessantly for many years, and they have long expected An Lushan's rebellion. They are secretly adopting the dead, appeasing the powerful and powerful, and discussing strategies to defend against the rebels. After the rebellion broke out, Yan Zhenqing sent his brother's nephew Lu Ti to send letters to his uncle, and the brothers began to discuss together how to organize the rebel army to fight. As long as they can slow down the pace of the rebels' westward advance and delay for a while, Chang'an will be able to prepare for a while, and the empire that has eased up is a behemoth, and at that time, An Lushan will not escape. went into battle as a father and son soldier, and beat the tiger brothers, this time let the two brothers stab An Lushan, the thief and tiger ass! Brothers work together to break the gold!

An Lushan left Changshan satisfied, and as soon as he left, Yan Gaoqing and Feng Qian, who joined the army, Yuan Luqian, the former Zhending County Lingjia Shen, and Zhang Tongyou, the former Neiqiu County, discussed how to open Tumen County according to the original plan. The thief is powerful, his fist is not hard enough, and the only way to attack is to die in vain, which is the next step, so everyone thinks hard about how to outwit and win the biggest with the smallest. After careful consideration, they decided to establish a situation in which the rebels would attack the rebels from the back, so that the rebels would not care about each other, cut off the entire front of the rebels, and turn An Lushan into rootless grass. After discussing the preliminary plan, he sent someone to inform his immediate boss Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye of this secret plan, hoping that the other party would respond to their actions at that time.

At that time, An Lushan sent Li Qincuo and Gao Miao to lead an army of 5,000 to guard Tumen, and Yan Gaoqing had to kill Li Qincuo and Gao Miao to occupy Tumen, so as to open the road behind. Yan Gaoqing sent his cronies to monitor the movements of Tumen day and night, waiting for the opportunity, and if they didn't move, they would have to die. At that time, Li Qincuo's department was still nominally under the jurisdiction of Changshan County, and Yan Gaoqing, as the highest-ranking governor, had the right to command on the surface.

One day, it happened that An Lushan issued a military order to send his Jinwu general Gao Miao to Youzhou to recruit troops, and Gao Miao had not returned after a long time, Yan Gaoqing knew that the time had been achieved, and it would be too late if he didn't do it, so he sent his cronies to summon Li Qin to the county to discuss military affairs in the name of An Lushan.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Li Qincao arrived at the Changshan County Office, and Yan Gaoqing invited him to come and placed him in a post house outside the city. Yan Gaoqing is the nominal head of the place, although Li Qincao is a close confidant of An Lushan, but after all, it is not good to be too arrogant, and the officialdom still has to be done, besides, Yan Gaoqing has a great reputation, and his master An Lushan is also courteous to him, and he can't afford to offend. Li Qincuo is a cautious person, and cautious people are generally more likely to drill traps. Li Qincuo looked at the greetings of the military affairs minister, and then looked at the treasures that were offered, he smiled and said nothing, the cunning fox, and the military affairs were also discussed, and the banner of An Lushan was erected, didn't he just want to get closer to me, the set was almost, what kind of bullshit the first official in the world, it was just a wall grass that saw the seams!

Although Li Qincao still wanted to go if he sneered at this kind of officialdom, and although he despised this kind of hypocrite who sold his reputation and reputation, after all, he was under the same roof and would have a close relationship with the government in the future, and it would still be harmful and useless to get acquainted with him.

A Qing gentleman is so difficult to make friends with, and he gets drunk only when he steals chickens and touches dogs.

Li Qincao drank the wine that Yan Gaoqing saluted, and looked at this Taishou Lord with a smile on his face, the slanderous smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, full of flattery and flattery. Good words are more intoxicating than fine wine, and naturally only beautiful people are intoxicating than fine wine, looking at the singer who is known as the first beautiful lady in Changshan under the lamp, Li Qin is drunk and strong.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Luqian took Li Qincuo's head to see Yan Gaoqing, looking at this face that was still swimming in a sweet dream, the two of them were relatively weeping, and cried with joy. After they rewarded Feng Qian, the county lieutenant, and Zhai Wande, who killed Li Qincao, everyone began to plot the next step.

Li Qincuo is a small fish, and Gao Miao is a predator.

That night, Cui Anshi, the lieutenant of Gaocheng County, reported that according to the report of the spies sent to monitor Gao Miao, Gao Miao, who had gone out to recruit soldiers, had returned to Pucheng and was estimated to be able to reach Tumen soon. Yan Gaoqing immediately ordered Feng Qian, Zhai Wande and Cui Anshi to clean up Gao Miao according to the original plan. In the early morning of the second day, several of Gao Miao's retinue cavalry arrived at the Gaocheng Post Station first, and Cui Anshi's pre-ambushed masters swarmed up and hacked these people to death first. Soon Gao Miao also arrived, Cui Anshi took his entourage to receive him, and lied to him that Taishou Yan Gaoqing had prepared a wine feast and dance music to wait in the hostel, and General Li was also there. Gao Miao saw the fish talisman token, and he did not doubt that there was him, what could happen on his own territory, he had just approached the front of the hall and dismounted, Feng Qian and the others suddenly attacked and captured him on the spot. After being sent to Yan Gaoqing's barracks, everyone interrogated them overnight, and they didn't think about interrogation, but they got a big surprise, it turned out that He Qianqian was also coming.

Li Qincuo is An Lushan's henchman, because he has an elder brother named Li Guiren, Li Guiren is the fourth-ranked tiger general under An Lushan, and he is enough to rank in the top ten in the whole world. This person is brave and strategic, and his biggest feature is that he has strong execution and is a wolf-like ruthless character. Compared with his brother, Li Qincao is a stupid dog, at least in An Lushan's opinion, he is a straw bale that is good for shade under a big tree, so An Lushan goes out on the expedition with no more than him, and a lot less than him, and it is a waste of rations when he goes, and the dog has to do the dog's errand, and it is better to leave it in the rear to take care of his own home.

Li Qinmiao's straw bag attribute doomed him to the end, but Gao Miao is not a straw bag, let alone Li Qincao, even if his brother Li Guiren comes, he can't compare to Gao Miao. Xiao Lu Bu can ride Taiyuan in twenty xi, and people outside are boasting about how brave Xiao Lu Bu is, but only the very high-level rebels know that the heroes who deceived Taiyuan City are called Gao Miao and He Qianqian.

An Lushan has two trump cards under him, one literary and one martial, the literary one is noble, and the martial one is called Shi Siming. As the first civil servant in the Anjia court, Gao Shang is deeply rooted and immovable, regardless of seniority, strategy and loyalty. An Lushan finally took the step of rebellion, and there were only four people who discussed with him, Gao Shang was one of them, and Shi Siming was not among the four, which is enough to show that this person's ability and strength are great. As a Wenchen, the mastermind's noble subordinates have four major think tanks: Gao Miao, He Qianqian, Dugu Wense, Li Shiyu, among which Gao Miao has always been in the first place, not only because of Gao Miao and the noble blood relationship, but more importantly, Gao Miao is extremely talented in the battle array, he is full of wisdom and thoughtfulness, and he knows the general trend of the world and the interests of the battlefield well, and he is always good at three points.

What a thousand years, it's interesting. The rivers and lakes joked that the thousand-year-old turtle is a thousand-year-old turtle, and this thousand-year-old turtle under the command of An Lushan is about to die and occupy the name of a turtle.

Although He Qianqian and Gao Miao are both top thinkers in An Lushan's camp, He Qianqian is completely different from Gao Miao. Gao Miao is a serious Confucian student, a jinshi in the Tianbao period, an official eunuch who reads poetry and books, and has grown from a small guanyi in the Tang Dynasty to a henchman of An Lushan. He Qianqian is different, he is an outsider, the division of the military branch to plan the war, learned an unfathomable art of war, especially good at strategy, for the big war direction of the vicious vision, quite a bit of the late Han Dynasty Pang Tong Guo Jia. Before the chaos in the world, He Qianqian's military family calculated the situation, and the high-level members of the sect sent some outstanding disciples in the sect, hoping that what they had learned would benefit the Li people, and secondly, they also took advantage of the troubled times to seek more resources. He Qianqian, who was ordered to serve in An Lushan, was not only noble, but also had his own skills, arranging troops, practicing military horses, and he could catch trivial matters, and in just a few years, he grew into an indispensable minister of An Lushan, and even his younger brother who was not talented followed to show off his power and was out of the limelight.

So when Yan Gaoqing and others interrogated Gao Miao, they heard that He Qianqian would also come from Tokyo today, which immediately made them overjoyed.

On the same day, He Qianqian came to Zhao County from Luoyang, the eastern capital, Feng Qian and Zhai Wande laid an ambush at Liquan Station, and concocted it as soon as He Qianqian arrived, and immediately captured this Jingjing Wang Bawei alive. Pity the two talents of the world, they were beaten by people in their backyards, and before they could show their ambitions, they were tied up into two big crabs, and they really wanted to cry without tears. The two captured had no other way than to scold Yan Gaoqing for being despicable and not the eldest husband. Yan Gaoqing naturally wouldn't say much to these thieves, he immediately sent his son Yan Quanming, the lieutenant of Anping County, Jia Shen, Zhang Tongyou, Zhai Wande and others, to put Li Qincuo's head in a wooden box, and escorted Gao Miao He Qianqian two big crabs to the capital to present His Majesty.

The story is perfect and the ending is hilarious.

Yan Quanming and his entourage, after all the hardships to Taiyuan, Taiyuan Festival made Wang Chengye very excited, his subordinates can have such great feats, as their top boss, naturally their faces are extremely bright, so he feasted and sang and danced to cheer up, and rewarded these meritorious heroes.

The banquet was very sumptuous, and everyone was also very happy, and dozens of civil and military officials with heads and faces in Taiyuan County were all taking turns to toast Yan Quanming, all accompanied by smiling faces, and their mouths full of flattery and wine rushed to this general in the prime of life. Yan Quanming, who is proud of the spring breeze, is also high-spirited, and those who come do not refuse, as everyone said, has made such a great contribution, it is not an exaggeration for the Yan family and his son to be crowned a marquis, and after destroying An Lushan, the Yan family is a great achievement, and then it will be a first-class powerful family in Chang'an, and the time to make friends is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everyone present is a human spirit who has been floating in the sea for decades, and at this time, you can't twist and pinch, what kind of gentleman's demeanor, what is the face, wealth is real! It's just that no one will notice that in the full house of harmony, there is always a pair of yin eyes that appear faintly.

Yan Gaoqing waited for the response of Taiyuan and the imperial court, as for how much the reward was never thought of, and he didn't care if the emperor gave a bigger official seat, his mind was very clear, the current situation, first forbearance, and then slowly accumulate strength, plan and then move, once the trouble is made, it will definitely let the anti-thief be in prison, before and after, to buy time for the counterattack of the imperial court garrison, as for himself at that time, if the whole family can escape one or two lives, even if God has eyes. It's just that I suffered my son Yan Po who was detained by An Lushan, father and son, but I didn't want to kill you for my father, and the thief knew what my father did today, I don't know how to cruel my son, and the torture of my son must be miserable. I beseech you that you hate me in this life, and seek me in the next life to repay me, and confess that you will not regret it for your father, and that you will repay it a hundredfold and a thousandfold.

He Qianqian is an outsider, and he also follows the trend, and following An Lushan is also accepting the appointment of the sect, and he actually doesn't have much sense of belonging to An Lushan. He knows very well that he is a chess player, and he shows his talent wherever he falls, and he doesn't care who he is for. So after being captured, He Qianqian was much calmer than Gao Miao, he knew that his mission on An Lushan's side was over, as for the development of the current situation after that, he should not have a chance to see it, the emperor in Chang'an City was ruthless, and he should not let himself live too long. So while there was still a chance, He Qianqian called Yan Gaoqing and presented the last plan of his life to the other party, hoping to get a glimmer of life.

In He Qianqian's view, his rebellion is just from nature, he is a war-seeking faction, and he is likely to die, he is very afraid of death, he doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to die in vain, he wants to leave his talent, he wants the world to remember the name He Qianqian, for thousands of generations, he doesn't want to be born like a gorgeous summer flower, die like a quiet autumn leaf, he wants to turn his hands over for the clouds and cover his hands for the rain, he wants to be bloody and thunderous thunderbolts, he wants to be the trader, he wants to be a soldier.

Therefore, He Qianqian felt that it was natural to do anything, that is, this should be taken for granted, which made An Lushan suffer a lot, and also made the rolling wheels of the anti-thief deviate a little bit.

The difference is a thousand miles, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!

If it weren't for He Qianqian, if it weren't for Yan Gaoqing, the old man of the emperor in Huaqing Pool wouldn't care about fighting with his daughter-in-law, and he might not have had time to put on his pants, and he would have escaped naked a long time ago.

Therefore, man is not as good as heaven!
