Chapter 69 Edict against rebellion
Countless banners spread out on the land of Hebei, guns and halberds are like forests, war horses are like clouds, An Lushan stands on the big car with a wide hand, holding on to the railing, and looks around to inspect the marching army.
His prestige in the army is well-known, and wherever he pays attention, he attracts thunderous cheers, and when he sees this military might, he laughs from time to time.
The strategist solemnly complimented: "The government is corrupt, the Tang army is vulnerable, and this time it will be like a bamboo." The king of the county won the hearts of the army, and the ministers risked death to admonish, and the prince should be on the throne, so the name was changed to justification. ”
An Lushan held up his fat belly, squeezed the fence of the cart creaked, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, it's not time yet, let's see." I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to get rid of the traitors in the court, this name is already very good, at least it is better than Gu Zuoqingjun's side, and the noble idea is still good. Clothes and ribbons, haha......"
A fast horse flew to report: "Dashuai, the head of Dugu and the peace elder greet you outside the city of Wei County!"
An Lushan smiled even more.
Outside the city of Wei County, since the Taishou surrendered, hundreds of officials knelt down to greet him, An Lushan kicked the thorn Shi to the ground, and reprimanded: "You are a thing at both ends of the head and a mouse, and you have to come to the city with a large number of soldiers to know that you are afraid?" Or do you have to resist the army if the Dugu head does not enter the city?"
The thorn stalked his neck and protested: "Dugu said that the army will not be slaughtered when it enters the city!"
An Lushan said: "Of course Lao Tzu will not slaughter the city, but he has not promised not to slaughter your whole family!" and ordered: "Come on, cut down this dog official, kill the mansion, and hang the head of the city!"
Dugu, the head of the Baiyun Sect, frowned and said: "The first evil is punished, why bother to affect the family, the county king's subordinates are merciful." ”
An Lushan nodded: "Since the head of Dugu intercedes, then the crime of the family is exempted, and the men enter the baggage camp, and the women enter the women's camp." ”
Dugu asked the vulgar and was about to speak out again, but was stopped by An Lushan with a smile: "Okay, okay, Dugu, we are one head." When it comes to cultivation, you have the final say, and you still listen to me when marching and soldiering. He blinked again and whispered, "That's what my father said." ”
Dugu Wenshu shook his head, and commanded the back, the elder waved his hand calmly, and hundreds of monks came out of the whole team in the city, ranging from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period.
Ping Yan arched his hand: "The king of the county, these are local monks in Weizhou, and they are all willing to join the army." ”
An Lushan said happily: "Okay, as before, all of them will be incorporated into the Luoluo River, and they will be strong men for my army!"
From Youzhou to Weizhou, this journey is thousands of miles, and the army passes through Mozhou, Yingzhou, Jizhou, and Beizhou to Weizhou, which is already the ninth batch of monks who have joined the army collected by Baiyunzong. At this point, the total number of people in the river had swelled rapidly from 3,000 to 8,000, all of whom were monks.
In fact, it is not difficult to recruit monks to join the army, since three years ago, the price of spirit stones has skyrocketed, and it has reached eight times so far, and it is difficult to buy even money. As long as you are willing to pay the spirit stone, in this land of Hebei, you can casually pull up an army of monks, and many small sects and factions are even willing to bring their own military rations.
Youzhou has been stockpiling spirit stones since many years ago, and the total number of spirit stones in the library exceeds 500,000, and for this rebellion, Baiyun Sect also took out 300,000 spirit stones that have been accumulated for many years in one go, a total of 800,000 pieces, and it will not be a problem to supply an army of monks with a size of 10,000 people for at least a year.
In this world, as long as the banner is raised and sent to the spirit stone, there will inevitably be a crowd of responders!
The land of Hebei is plain, the road is flat and open, and the two armies of Fanyang and Pinglu have many cavalry, and they passed through Xiangzhou in a month and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. Advancing westward along the Yellow River, it joined the Hedong Army led by Shi Siming, and so far, the total strength of the "rebellious" army exceeded 150,000, and the number of monks in the army exceeded 15,000.
In mid-December, the army crossed the Yellow River and entered Chenliu, where it met the first Tang army that dared to hold on, the 3,000 soldiers of the Jiedu Prefecture in Henan.
At this time, Zhang Jieran, the envoy of Henan Jiedu, was pleading bitterly on Wangwu Mountain: "The rebels have arrived in Chenliu, if Chenliu is lost, the eastern capital will be in danger! Elder Long, send troops to help in the war!"
Long Daoren was silent for a long time, and said softly: "I want to help you, but what...... Zhang Jiedu abandoned the city and left a useful body for the future. ”
Zhang Jieran left Wangwushan crying, chose to return to Chenliu, and held the city with Taishou Guona.
The Longdao people turned back to the back mountain and met with the elders, the elders were silent, but there was an elder of the Baiyun Sect in the crowd, Li Shiyu, who arched his hand and said: "Inherit the kindness of the Wangwu faction, you can rest assured, my Dugu sect master said that the army will never invade the mountain gate of your faction, you just need to sit on the mountain and not get out, it won't take long, half a year." ”
Long Daoren gave a perfunctory salute to Li Shiyu: "Li Daoyou, please go back." ”
Li Shiyu asked again: "Can I meet the master?"
Long Daoren shook his head: "Li Daoyou, don't embarrass my senior brother, at this moment, it is inconvenient for my senior brother to see you." ”
Li Shiyu was not angry, said goodbye to Wangwushan with a smile, and rushed to Huashan.
After Li Shiyu left, Long Daoren slapped the bookcase and roared angrily: "What about Senior Brother Leader? Who of you have seen Senior Brother Leader? Where did he go?"
The elders bowed their heads, and no one could answer. The head is not there, and the other party has the three major refining voids of Dugu Wenxi, An Lushan and Shi Siming, even if the Wangwu faction wants to come out, it really doesn't have this strength.
Chen Liu didn't hold it for even a day, and it took half an hour to break through the Luoluo River. Chen Liujun's magic circle has not been repaired for decades, and it can't play an effective role at all, more than a dozen Jin Dan in the river flew to the city, the magic weapons swept around, and then hundreds of monks swarmed into the city, and the defenders were suddenly scattered.
Jiedu made Zhang Jieran resist hard, and was chopped into meat on the spot, and Chen Liutai guarded Guo Na so he had to abandon his sword and surrender.
Chen stayed for a while, the gate of the eastern capital was opened, and Feng Changqing transferred troops everywhere to reinforce Luoyang, but the Tang army was unbearable and even the march was difficult, let alone assistance. General Li Fei Shouyu led the troops to engage in the battle, and had just arrived at the muddy poppy valley where the Fanyang army was stationed, and when he turned around, the two thousand soldiers behind him scattered in a hurry and ran away.
Li Fei Shouyu is also brave, he cultivated for the late Jindan period, and the magic weapon he is good at is Zhang Dagong, which immediately stood on the top of the mountain, and sent arrows to the camp of the Fan Yang army. After shooting and killing nearly 100 enemy soldiers one after another, he was beheaded by Cui Qianyou and Yin Ziqi, who surrounded him.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the troops of Fanyang arrived at Heyang Bridge, less than 30 miles away from Luoyang.
Chang'an Da Nei, the Son of Heaven finally came down from Penglai Immortal Mountain in the Taiye Pool, and in the face of Gao Lishi's re-admonition, he muttered: "Hu'er won't bear me, he won't ...... He's not crusading against me, he's crusading against Yang Guozhong......"
Gao Lishi couldn't stand it anymore, and said heavily: "Everyone!"
The Son of Heaven said: "Wait a minute, you send someone to ask Hu Er, if he really doesn't like Yang Guozhong, you can tell me...... By the way, tell him to give me this year's money first...... It's okay to give 500 million first......"
