God is the fairest, but of course you have to see when.

The emperor sitting firmly on the Chang'an dragon chair was impatient, and the emperor on the Luoyang dragon chair was calm and relaxed.

The fair God arranged a Yang Guozhong for the one in Chang'an, and a Tian Qianzhen for the one in Luoyang.

"I don't know where this Tian Qian really is?" In addition to regretting that the Tang Empire had lost the best opportunity to counterattack, Zhang Xun had no choice but to listen more and ask more questions, hoping to plant less trouble in Suiyang City.

"Tian Qianzhen, this person, both civil and military, there is a nickname A Hao, is a famous general in An Lushan's rebels, very much valued by An Lushan, this person's trust value in An Lushan's heart can even rank first among military generals, compared to the same trusted but often whipped Wenchen Yanzhuang, Tian Qianzhen is much luckier, he has never been whipped by An Lushan, and from time to time he will get a lot of rewards, so he is also very confident that he can persuade An Lushan. You must know that at that time, in An Lushan, in addition to the much-loved Mrs. Duan and the youngest son An Qingen, even the second son An Qingxu, who had always been favored before, was not welcomed.

Tian Qianzhen gambled, he bet right, and Yang Guozhong also gambled, unfortunately, he lost the bet, and the price of losing the bet was that Tongguan was broken, Chang'an fell, the emperor fled, and the people suffered. ”

Mo Sheng continued to tell the story, in addition to a little ridicule and sarcasm, the situation in the Tang Dynasty has already been completed, his supernatural powers have not yet been cultivated to turn things around anyway, and time goes back to change history, at least he has never heard of anyone who can practice such supernatural powers.

"Mr. Mo, I have a question, although the morale of the rebels has been re-solidified because of Tian Qian's real persuasion, but after all, General Ge Shuhan has been guarding Tongguan for more than half a year, and for six months, even a stupid person like me can polish a little bit of success, Ge Shuhan is a famous general, it is hard to hear, hundreds of thousands of people are not hundreds of thousands of stupid pigs, how can they be killed so easily, the terrain of Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, send archers to defend the city in turn, just consumption can consume them to death, right?"

Zhang Xun, who had been holding on to the head of Yongqiu City for several months, seemed to have a lot of experience in defensive battles, and he really couldn't imagine that the final result of Tongguan would be the defeat of hundreds of thousands of Tang troops.

"Lord Zhang, may I ask how many military horses you had under your account when you were at your peak?"

Mo Sheng didn't answer Zhang Xun's doubts about the battle situation in Tongguan, and asked Zhang Xun a seemingly unrelated question.

"There are more than 1,000 soldiers under the jurisdiction of Zhenyuan, and the maximum number of Yongqiu mergers is 4,265, if you count all the officials and craftsmen in Yongqiu City who participated in resisting the fortifications at that time, it can reach more than 9,000 at most."

Although Zhang Xun was puzzled, he also answered Mo Sheng's question seriously.

"Oh, that makes sense, it's not contemptible to underestimate you, the battle of a thousand people and the battle of ten thousand people is not an order of magnitude at all, if you just think that it is just a multiple increase in the number of people participating in the battle, it is a bit hasty. The battle of 10,000 people, that is the mirror to identify whether a commander is clever or not! There is a rural vulgar saying, it is a mule that a horse comes out to slip away, I don't know if you have heard of it, Master Zhang? ”

"I've heard this, but Ge Shuhan is a veteran after all, how many years has he guarded the border passes, and there is no shortage of tens of thousands of battles under his command, and the brilliant results in the Western Regions are not all water, right?"

Zhang Xun raised his doubts.

"Of course not, Ge Shuhan is very strategic, after all, he is a student taught by the military god Wang Zhonghe, and it is naturally not a fluke that he beat the Turks to cry their father and mother. You have to understand that there are many factors that contribute to the final result of anything, and so is failure. In order to break through Tongguan, the rebels also made a large number of deployments in the early stage, and more than 7,000 people were sent to death in vain! These more than 7,000 lives were killed in vain just to achieve one purpose, that is, to make the person in Chang'an City anxious! ”

"Oh, what's the point? How can a master be willing to send his soldiers to die in vain? ”

Zhang Xun is a person who cares about the world, and people who care about the world often value every human life, whether it is a rebel army or the Tang army, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they are all concerned about their wives and children.

An Lushan is not Zhang Xun, and few of his subordinates are Zhang Xun, An Qingxu, Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen and others, who are in charge of the battle situation in Tongguan, have very accurately figured out the minds of the Tongguan defenders and found out their flaws, and it has never been them who can defeat more than 200,000 people in Tongguan, and the death hole is the supreme existence in Chang'an City. The building had to fall on its own. The rebels are very aware of their own strength, and since the rebellion, although the more than 200,000 people have expanded to more than 400,000, the real elite is still the 100,000 people at the old base. In order to perpetuate the country, the new emperor must destroy the old emperor, but he can't become a fat man by eating one bite, An Lushan's more than 300 catties of fat are raised from decades one bite at a time, and he understands the truth of Xu Xu Shanjin.

From the day they took root in Luoyang, An Lushan and they formulated a follow-up overall strategy. He divided the rebel army into four routes, one was responsible for opening up Luoyang and connecting Fanyang's hometown, and the opponents were Yan Gaoqing, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others; A force with Luoyang as the center to sweep the Quartet, encroach and expand its influence, and the opponent is a local armed force like Zhang Xun; One stayed in Luoyang to protect himself, and the most important and strongest one was handed over to his son An Qingxu Cui Qianyou, so that he could break through Tongguan as soon as possible.

Tongguan is a natural danger, the rebels can fight only 100,000 people, and the opponent is the famous Ge Shuhan, the strong attack will definitely not work, can only use a strategy. The so-called conspiracy is to attack the heart, one to attack the emperor's heart, the second to attack the traitor's heart, and the third to attack the general's heart. After formulating the battle plan, Cui Qianyou immediately sent people to implement it, and the first step in the implementation was to take people's lives to fill the pit, the pit that made Datang jump into it clearly.

The game between the two sides in Tongguan officially began.

Since Ge Shuhan arrived in Tongguan, he has been cautious, and Gao Xianzhi's vain death of Feng Changqing has always reminded him that although the rebels are always harassed by petty theft, Ge Shuhan does what he can and never tries to advance. The thieves didn't know whether it was bad or if they were released from the water, and after a few skirmishes, the thieves had lost more than 5,000, and in addition to those small battles that could not be put on the table, the rebels had already folded in six or seven thousand people. It was these six or seven thousand people who made many people unable to sit still, and the lives of those who attacked the heart began to play a role slowly.

Ge Shuhan, who played chess, was indeed a master, and he saw through the tricks of luring the enemy's lives, although the Tang army seemed to have the upper hand, he still firmly believed that Tongguan should be in danger, which was not conducive to the army. His letter to the emperor also reads, "An Lushan is rebellious, unpopular, it is advisable to hold on to each other, within a few months, the thief will collapse, and one drum can be captured!" The emperor read the book and was quite impressed.

But this "true" trust has become thinner and thinner with the passage of time, and Yang Guozhong and others have been slandering day by day, but saying that Ge Shuhan has stayed and lost the fighter. Because according to the report of the spies, those traitors have broken six or seven thousand men and horses in the confrontation in Tongguan, but General Geshu still can't hold on one by one, stick to Tongguan and not fight the barbarians, and kill Du Qianyun who he has planted is vigorous and resolute, who knows what he is trying to do!

The emperor was blown and swayed by the wind, and the suspicion that he was the first in the world became more and more uncontrollable. So the emperor had a plan, and he sent a group of internal security masters to Tongguan in disguise to secretly investigate the situation in Tongguan. The spies reported back that the rebel general Cui Qianyou's garrison in Shaanxi County was really only more than 4,000 people, and all of them were weak and unprepared.

After listening to the report of the secret agents, the emperor's brows furrowed even deeper, isn't this Geshu Hanmo really going to be the second An Lushan?

He was alone for a long time, planning in his heart, and finally, the corners of his narrow eyes flashed with murderous intent. The emperor waved his hand and ordered Brother Shuhan to enter the palace to face the saint.

Although Ge Shuhan didn't go, he went to a table book, and the table book played: An Lushan has been using troops for a long time, how can he be unprepared? The ministers will lure me with a master, and if I send an army, I will be in the middle of a thief's plan. In addition, the thieves come from afar, the benefit lies in the quick battle, the officers and soldiers are in danger, and the benefit is in perseverance, so why bother seeking quick results? Now that the conscription of all roads has not yet been collected, it is better to be a little calm and impatient, and wait for the thieves to change internally, and then send troops. The earnest and well-founded recital arrived at the imperial court, and the emperor saw it for the third time and felt that there was some truth, and it happened that at this time Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi also jointly played Chen, and asked for it: lead the army, take Fanyang in the north, smash the thief's lair, and the Tongguan army, but it should be held on, and it should not be taken lightly.

The emperor looked at the two sparsely, and he was even more hesitant at the moment.

Not to mention that Yang Guozhong can be the prime minister, his mind is always extraordinarily useful, after he knew the content of these two reports, he understood that the emperor was indecisive in the pulling and fighting methods of the two sides, so his eyes turned to his heart, and he gave the emperor another message:

"Ge Shuhan has 200,000 soldiers, not to mention that there are not many people, so that if you can't recover the eastern capital, you should also recover Shaanxi County, are four or five thousand thieves and soldiers afraid of snakes and scorpions? If you don't come out today, you won't fight tomorrow, you will spend money and labor, and you will sit and wait for the thieves, and the ministers are afraid that the thieves will become more and more powerful, and the officials and soldiers will destroy themselves. ”

The emperor who had just calmed down with his words became hot again, yes, can't he beat Luoyang, can't he beat a small Shaanxi County? I haven't had a harvest for a few months, how can I explain to the world, where will I put my face? The emperor, who had wavered again and again, finally had a plan in his heart, and the Son of Heaven, who had made up his mind, acted resolutely, and even sent three envoys within one day to urge Ge Shuhan to go out and kill the enemy.

Ge Shuhan received the emperor's order, he was embarrassed and had no plan, there was a risk in attacking, and if he didn't attack the emperor, he would be suspicious, in a dilemma, forget it, act cautiously, and take a good deal with Shaanxi County first. Damn it, I want to see how strong the traitor's side will be, it's all two shoulders and one head, and my brother Shuhan didn't give three words in vain.

Cui Qianyou and they are waiting for the confidence and suffering of the Tang Emperor and the Tongguan guards, the Tang defenders have been shrinking and not coming out, no matter how much they plan, no matter how much they plan in vain, if it is consumed like this, the rootless wolf will be very uncomfortable, the coming day will be long, one will be longer, and the other will be long, without waiting for the Tang Dynasty lion million, they themselves will have to consume themselves to death.

"On June 4, the battle of Tongguan, which had been dragged for half a year, officially began. Geshuhan led 150,000 infantry to the east, and there were big moves on both sides, and as soon as Geshuhan moved, the rebels immediately responded. When the Tang army marched to the west of Lingbao, it saw that the rebels had been set up in front, with high mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north, and camped according to the danger. The Tang army then stopped and stationed here, the same south side of the mountain, north of the Yellow River, the two sides of the confrontation, waiting for the opportunity to move. In the middle of the Lingbao West Plateau is a seventy-mile-long narrow mountain road, Cui Qianyou Tian Qianzhen has polished the terrain of this area thoroughly for several months, and knows it well, which mountain col can hide how many people have even been planned to single digits, the Tang army is finally on the set, they rely on this geographical advantage to prepare to eat Ge Shuhan's vanguard troops, and carefully arrange the formation by the mountains and rivers for several months, just waiting for the Tang army to break into the ambush area. On the eighth day of the sixth month, the decisive battle officially began, Ge Shuhan ordered Wang Sili to personally lead 50,000 elites to take the lead, Pang Zhong and others led 100,000 troops to follow, and he personally led 30,000 personal soldiers to meet on the north bank of the Yellow River. ”

Mo Sheng finally officially told about the key battle that decided the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Xun also held his breath, as if he had been on the battlefield in person, climbing high and looking down.

Ge Shuhan was still very cautious, and he ordered Wang Sili to make three probes when fighting the enemy. The so-called three probes and move refers to the probe three to move one, every time the army advances one mile, the spies must go forward three miles and three times, if there is no abnormality in the three times before they are allowed to continue to advance. This is the safest method that Ge Shuhan can think of, and he originally planned to rely on such a method of warfare to grind more than 100,000 horses to Shaanxi County to make plans again. The rebels have seen through this tactic, and it can also be said that they anticipated this tactic, they deliberately showed weakness, the ranks were not in order, and in order to achieve the goal of confusing the real with the fake, they simply did the real thing. As early as a few months ago, they drove the captured soldiers and civilians, made them put on the armor of the rebels, set up camp at irregular intervals, and ordered these captives to hold the area.

Although the Tang army has been cautious to the extreme, in the face of those captives who do not know the truth, the bait will definitely collapse at the touch of the male soldiers. At first, the Tang army thought that this was a thief's trick to lure the enemy, but he didn't expect that in a few days, the Tang army advanced for hundreds of miles, although the rebel general Cui Qianyou personally supervised the battle, but he couldn't stand these prisoners It is really ineffective, you put the knife to the neck They will only pee their pants and beg for mercy, these rice buckets are clustered in the east, a group in the west, three hundred and five hundred, scattered like stars, flickering and leaving, flickering in and out, flickering in and out, like a swarm of ants washed away by water. Wang Sili's knife was almost embarrassed, killing these people was easier than killing his mother's fish. More than 100,000 horses and horses of the Tang Dynasty advanced a hundred miles away, harvesting nearly four or five thousand lives, and the rebels on the forward cavalry horses were almost unable to hang up, and every Tang sergeant from top to bottom already had a real understanding of these rebels. Phew! This kind of thing Lao Tzu can fight ten at a time.

Wang Sili despised Feng Changqing in his heart, and saw the rebels marching unevenly, and no longer doubted that who would be so generous as to take thousands of lives as an introduction, he immediately waved his army together, gradually approached the enemy formation, and slowly ignored Ge Shuhan's military orders. Cui Qianyou, the leader of the rebel army, who cooperated with the performance, also had really good acting skills, his voice was hoarse, but he couldn't stand the combat effectiveness of these people under him, so he could only fight and retreat, embarrassed.

"Hey......"

Mo Sheng's narration was interrupted by Zhang Xun's long sigh, he looked at Zhang Xun at this moment, his face was ugly, his brows were furrowed, and he slapped his fist on the table while sighing.

"Actually, Master Zhang doesn't need to be so indignant, you are just a prophet and a clear cause, and your perspective is different. You know that Tongguan was broken, but Wang Sili Ge Shuhan, who was in it, didn't know that this was a plan to lure the enemy, besides, how many people in the world would use such a vicious method to lure the enemy, there were seven thousand in the front, and then five thousand, no matter how clever the opponent was, he couldn't see through the plan of 13,000 lives. Such a bad trick is also used by An Lushan, and it is in accordance with this law that he exchanged innocent lives for thousands of troops! ”

Mo Sheng couldn't bear to let Zhang Xun continue to hurt himself, and after enlightening for a while, Zhang Xun still looked in pain, and Mo Sheng had nothing to do, so he could only stop talking.

In such a state of indignation, I'm afraid that even a thousand catties of wine can't be poured evenly!

As soon as Mo Sheng thought that he could have some wine, the wine really came.

Mo Sheng's realm that had been wide open sensed that someone was coming to his side, and he was still wondering who it would be, it was almost four watches, and it was such a snowy night, who would be walking outside during this curfew. He was still guessing that the figure had arrived at the gate of the ruined courtyard. Looking at the familiar figure and outfit, Mo Sheng was even more confused, why did she come again?

The person who came was Zhang Xun's second lady who had already been here once. At this moment, the second lady was still wearing the cotton robe, this time she did not hold a yarn lamp, carrying a huge bamboo basket in her left arm, and a thick wooden tube more than a foot high in her right hand.

Mo Sheng didn't hesitate, knocked on the table, pointed outside, and reminded Zhang Xun that your wife is here again.

Zhang Xun was lamenting the imprudentness of the Tongguan defenders, and was reminded by Mo Sheng, and then turned his head to look, isn't it his wife who is here again. He stood up at the moment and walked up quickly, and the second lady saw this, and walked in with her things. Before the person could pick up, the voice from the other side came first.

"In the middle of the night, you don't want to rest, what are you going to do here!"

Just when there was no place to get out, the second lady rushed to the tip of the gun, and Zhang Xun immediately questioned unceremoniously. The second lady was stunned for a moment, full of anticipation to be poured into the cold, and she didn't feel that the wind and snow were terrible, listening to her Langjun's words in her ears, her heart hurt and hurt, tears rolled in her eyes, she stopped, and she couldn't retreat.

She is naturally very aggrieved, after sending the warm robe back, she can't sleep, full of aftertaste is the moment when her Langjun bowed her head and bent over, just like the sweetness of a girl, thinking of the thoughtfulness of her sweetheart to return herself, she feels unfinished at the moment, and always wants to be better and better, honey and honey. Thinking of the empty wine jug, she braved the wind and snow to get into the kitchen, lit a firewood and picked up a knife, and cooked as fast as possible. When the side dishes were ready, she made three catties of the best wine, and deliberately took the small stove of warm wine, lit the charcoal fire and installed it, packed a large basket of food, carried the stove in her left hand, and carried the basket in her right hand, and went out of the gate again.

Fortunately, there was snow, and the road was clear, which saved the trouble of taking the yarn lamp, so she walked forward in the snow with difficulty, and the thought of her husband being able to eat side dishes and drink warm wine, and talk with others, her heart was beautiful. Although he was carrying more than a dozen catties of wine and food, walking on this snowy road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, he almost slipped several times, but he still couldn't help snickering, looking forward to seeing that person as soon as possible.

It was Mo Sheng who broke the siege again, he saw the abnormality, walked a few steps quickly to the courtyard, and said loudly:

"It turned out to be Mrs. Zhang, I don't know what happened to me again?"

With outsiders present, the second lady could only accept the grievances, forcibly saluted, and replied:

"The concubine is here to send some things, let's go, and I hope Mr. Mo will forgive me if I am not careful."

After saying this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she quickly lowered her head, put down the things in her hand, turned around, and walked back quickly. Zhang Xun was a little stunned, Mo Sheng was also a little stunned, the two of them looked at the figure that was hurrying away, and they couldn't understand it, so they had to pick up something and walk to the inner room.

There was a sudden gust of strange wind blowing in the sky, with a roll of snowflakes from the treetops, and the anxious white face was pulled towards Zhang Xun's face, turning Zhang Xun's eyebrows and beard white, Zhang Xun stretched out his hand and shook it off, still muttering in his heart, why did the wind and snow tonight seem to be embarrassing himself.

In Suiyang City, the woman's tears dripping down her cheeks rolled in the snow and turned into aggrieved pearls.
