Chapter 15 870s (770-779)

1. In spring, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Bai Duipeng, the chief of the Qiang tribe (I don’t know where the Qiang tribe is), led his tribes to join the Tang Dynasty (capital Chang’an). 2. The Shence Army is specially dispatched to observe the formation of soldiers and horses, a senior supervisor eunuch (observing the appearance of the army, announcing and disposing of it), a general of the Zuojian Gate Guard (the Thirteenth Army of the Guards), and the commander of the Shence Army base (also a Shence Army envoy) , Chief Eunuch (Internal Attendant) Yu Chaoen, who is in charge of the Imperial Army, no one can compare to the favor and trust he receives.Li Yu (Li Chu, 45 years old), Emperor Tang (the eleventh emperor) often discussed political and military affairs with him, and his power shocked the whole country.Yu Chaoen likes to criticize the current situation and insult the prime minister in public.Although Yuan Zai had a quick eloquence, he had to keep his mouth shut and dared not say a word.

Liu Xixian, Chief Prosecutor of the Shence Army (Marquis of Du Yu), and Chief Combat Commander (Duzhi Military Envoy) Wang Jiahe are all close friends of Yu Chaoen.Liu Xixian persuaded Yu Chaoen to set up a special military tribunal within the forbidden army system, instigate the hooligans in the streets and alleys to investigate and collect every move of the rich, and then frame them for crimes, arrest them and imprison them in dungeons, and torture them to teach them to be frank , Automatically confess; then confiscate all their property, men, women, children, and children, and use part of it to reward those who report.Courts and prisons are located in heavily guarded areas, and no one dares to express concern.Every time Yu Chaoen has any request, the emperor must approve it.Sometimes, without his participation in the government's decision-making, he would lose his temper and roar, "Is there anything in the world that doesn't go through my hands!" When Li Yu heard this, he became unhappy.

Yu Chaoen's youngest adopted son, Yu Linghui, is still young. He works as an affairs officer (internal envoy) of the Eunuch General Administration and wears a green official uniform (sixth rank and seventh rank). He went home to report to Yu Chaoen because of a quarrel with his colleagues.The next day, Yu Chaoen met the emperor and said: "My son's official position is too low, and he was bullied and humiliated by his colleagues. Please allow him to change into purple clothes (for senior officials above the third rank)." Standing in front of him holding the purple clothes, Yu Linghui put them on on the spot, and kowtowed to thank him.Li Yu forced a smile and said, "This child should be satisfied with wearing a purple robe." But his heart became more and more unhappy.

Yuan Zai saw the emperor's intentions, and found an opportunity to secretly report Yu Chaoen's arbitrariness, tyranny, and conspiracy to betray him. Please eradicate him.Li Yu also knew that everyone in the world was resentful and angry with Yu Chaoen, so he ordered Yuanzai to draw up a plan.Every time Yu Chaoen enters the palace, he often orders Zhou Hao, the bodyguard of the god arrow (shooting general), to lead a hundred people to protect him; ) Huangfu Wen held a heavy army outside as solidarity.Yuan Zai spent a lot of money to make them close friends, so Li Yu knew all about Yu Chaoen's private words and secret activities behind his back, but Yu Chaoen was kept in the dark.

On the 27th day of the first lunar month, Yuan Zai made a suggestion to Li Yu: Transfer Li Baoyu (An Baoyu, Commander Fengxiang) to be the commander of the Shannan Xidao Theater (headquarters in Yuyuan), and transfer Huangfu Wen to be the commander of the Fengxiang Theater (headquarters in Fengxiang Mansion) On the surface, Huangfu Wen's power was strengthened, but Huangfu Wen was actually brought close to the capital (Chang'an) as an assistant.Yuan Zai also suggested that Mei County (Mei County, Shaanxi Province), Guo County (Baoji County, Shaanxi Province), Baoji (Baoji City, Shaanxi Province), Hu County (Huxian County, Shaanxi Province), and Yuxian County be placed under Li Baoyu (Ann County) Baoyu); Xingping (Xingping City, Shaanxi Province), Wugong (west of Wugong County, Shaanxi Province), Tianxing (the county where Fengxiang Prefecture is located), Fufeng (Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province) and other counties were placed under the Shence Army.Yu Chaoen was very happy that the Shence Army got the land and wealth of four counties out of thin air, and he didn't take Yuan Zai seriously at all, just as proud and overbearing as before.

3. On the 28th day of the first lunar month, Zhang Yanshang, the special mayor (Henan Yin) of Luoyang, the eastern capital (Luoyang City, Henan Province), was promoted to be the left-behind chief of the eastern capital Luoyang; The army under the government was handed over to the left-behind chief's department (the establishment of the Henan Marshal's Mansion, refer to May 761).Zhang Yanshang is the son of Zhang Jiazhen (Zhang Jiazhen was a prime minister, refer to the first month of 720). 4. On February 5th, Li Baoyu moved to defend the city. The officers and soldiers were unable to vent their anger, so they looted wantonly in Fengxiang City, and it was only after a few days that they were calmed down.

5. Liu Xixian noticed the change in Li Yu's mind and warned Yu Chaoen; only then did Yu Chaoen start to be suspicious and fearful.However, every time Li Yu sees Yu Chaoen, the kindness and courtesy are more solemn, and Yu Chaoen also uses these appearances to comfort himself, and his guard is completely relaxed.After Huangfu Wen arrived in the capital, Yuan Zai left him behind and did not go to Fengxiang to take up his post for the time being. So, together with Huangfu Wen and Zhou Hao, they secretly drew up a plan to kill Yu Chaoen. After the case was finalized, Yuan Zai reported it to Li Yu.Li Yu encouraged and said: "You have to be careful in the implementation, if you are not careful, you will be in disaster."

On March 10th, cold food (104 to 106 days after the winter solstice, no fire is allowed in the whole country, and the people have to eat cold rice, because it is called cold food. The legend originated from Jie Zhitui: 60 years ago, the seventh century) In the 1990s, Ji Chonger, the twenty-fourth monarch of the Jin Kingdom, returned to the country to ascend the throne and rewarded the meritorious officials; Jie Zhitui, who fled together and cut off his own meat when Ji Chonger was hungry, was forgotten, and Jie Zhitui then Fleeing into the deep mountain. Ji Chonger found it and searched everywhere, but could not find it. Ji Chonger ordered the mountain to be burned, hoping that the fire would force him out, but Jie Zhitui died in the fire cave. , do not catch fire), Li Yu set up a banquet in the palace, invited distinguished and close officials to the banquet, and ordered Yuan Zai to temporarily manage the Legislative Yuan (Shou Zhongshu Sheng).After the banquet, Li Yu left Yu Chaoen alone to discuss confidential matters, so he blamed him for having evil intentions.Yu Chaoen defended himself, uttered vicious words, and had an arrogant attitude. Zhou Hao and his left and right attendants subdued him and hanged him (he was 49 years old this year), and no one outside knew about it.

Li Yu issued an edict to exempt Yu Chaoen's Shence Army from observing the formation of soldiers and horses, and dispatched senior eunuchs (Guan Jun Rong Shi) and other posts, but still retained the chief eunuch (inside guard).Then he announced: "After Yu Chaoen received the edict, he hanged himself to death." The body was sent back to his home, and six million yuan was rewarded as burial expenses. On March 14th, Liu Xixian and Wang Jiahe were awarded the central official position: deputy chief inspector (Censor Zhongcheng), to comfort the hearts of the imperial army. On March 23, the Gyeonggi prisoners and all Yu Chaoen's party members were pardoned. Li Yu emphasized: "The soldiers of the Forbidden Army (Northern Army) are all my soldiers. Everything is the same as usual. I will personally lead you now. Don't have any Anxiety and fear."

6. On March 26, the central financial director (duzhishi) and Guannei (west of Tongguan) transportation director (transshipment), grain management director (Changping), and salt and iron monopoly and transportation director (yantieshi) were abolished. The relevant financial affairs are handled directly by the prime minister. 7. Order Huangfu Wen to return to his original post in the Shanzhou theater (since he killed Yu Chaoen, he does not need to be transferred to Fengxiang Mansion). 8. Prime Minister Yuan Zai participated in the high-level conspiracy to kill Yu Chaoen, and Tang Emperor Li Yu loved and trusted him even more.Yuan Zai was complacent, arrogant and arrogant.In the public, he raised his voice and declared that he can secure the country with literature, control the country with martial arts, has unrivaled talent and unprecedented strategy.Yuan Zai firmly believed that he had a high degree of power and wisdom, so he accepted gold, silver and treasure wantonly, and the execution of government orders depended on the amount of bribes, and lived a luxurious and extravagant life.Yang Wan, vice minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs), presided over the selection of officials, fair and appropriate, upright, and refused to cling to Yuan Zai; Xu Hao, commander of the Lingnan Theater (headquartered in Guangzhou), was corrupt and perverted, but good at flattery and search All the gold and silver treasures in the South (South China) were given to Yuanzai.

On March 28, Yuan Zai transferred Yang Wan to be the president of the National Aristocratic University (Guozi Jijiu), and ordered Xu Hao to take over Yang Wan's palace post.Xu Hao is from Yuezhou (Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province).An elder of Yuan Zai came to the capital from Xuanzhou (Xuanzhou City, Anhui Province) and asked Yuan Zai to find an official for him. Yuan Zai saw that this elder did not have such ability, so he only wrote a letter for him Give it to an official in Hebei (north of the Yellow River) and send him away.The elder was very upset, but there was nothing he could do. He went to Youzhou (Beijing) and opened the letter privately to read it. He only saw a piece of letter paper with nothing written on it, only Yuan Zai's own name was signed. The elders were so angry that they had no choice but to go to the theater headquarters (it should be the Lulong theater) to try out; the executive officer (judge) was shocked when he heard that there was a letter from Yuan Zai, and immediately reported it to the commander of the theater (Jiedushi. At this time, Zhu Xicai was in office. ), sent a senior general to carry a small box, respectfully accepted the letter from Yuan Zai, invited the elder to live in a high-end hotel, kept him for several days, and then sent him back, presenting him with a thousand bolts of silk and satin.This is an example of Yuan Zai's power and power. 9. In summer, on April 8th, Zang Jie, the combat commander (soldier and horse envoy) of Hunan Province (the capital is Tanzhou), killed Cui Guan, the chief executive (observation envoy); Yang Zilin, governor of Lizhou (Li County, Hunan Province), sent troops to crusade and accepted Zang Jie bribed and returned to the army. 10. Ma Lin, the commander of the Jingyuan War Zone (headquartered in Jingzhou), constantly complained to the central government that the people in the area under his jurisdiction were poor and unable to support the army; Li Yu hinted that Li Baoyu, the commander of the Shannan Xidao Theater (headquartered in Jingzhou), gave up Zhengzhou (Henan Province) Zhengzhou City), Yingzhou (Fuyang City, Anhui Province). On April 13th, Ma Linyao was ordered to concurrently be the Commander of the Zheng Ying War Zone (and also the Jiedu Envoy of Zheng Ying). 11. On April 28, Wang Jin, commander of the Hedong Theater Command (headquartered in Taiyuan Prefecture), came to Beijing from Taiyuan to meet. 12. On May-day (the original text was mistakenly placed in April, according to the "Old Tang Book"), General Xin Jinggao, Zuo Yulin (the first army of the Forbidden Army), was appointed as the chief executive (observation envoy) of South Road. 13. The mother of Wei Boyu, commander of the Jingnan War Zone (headquartered in Jiangling Mansion), died. On June 7, the central government sent Wang Ang, the chief of the palace (the supervisor in the palace) to replace Wei Boyu.Wei Boyu mobilized General Yang Cong (sound shu) and others to reject Wang Ang and retain himself. On June 23, Li Yu ordered Wei Boyu to resume his original post. 14. In autumn, in July, there is a famine in Gyeonggi (central part of Shaanxi Province), and every bucket of rice is worth 1,000 yuan. 15. Liu Xixian, Chief Prosecutor of Shence Army (Du Yuhou) has been restless, swearing and resenting.Commander-in-Chief of Operations (all known as the envoy of soldiers and horses) Wang Jiahe reported to the emperor. On September 12, Li Yu ordered Liu Xixian to commit suicide (Liu Xixian and Wang Jiahe are both close comrades-in-arms of Yu Chaoen). 16. The Tubo army attacked Yongshou (Yongshou County, Shaanxi Province). 17. In winter, in November, Guo Ziyi came to Beijing for an audience from Binzhou (Bin County, Shaanxi Province). 18. Li Yu knew what Yuan Zai did very well, just because he had been prime minister for a long time (since he took office in March 762, nine years so far), and he planned to let him go from beginning to end; so he took advantage of the opportunity of meeting alone, admonish him profoundly.But Yuan Zai couldn't correct it, and Li Yu began to hate him a bit. Yuan Zai hated Li Mi, a hermit, who was favored by the emperor (refer to April 768), so he wrote: "Li Mi often had banquets with relatives and friends in the Forbidden Army Camp (Northern Army), but in the past he had a feast with Yu Chaoen has deep feelings, and I'm afraid he knows Yu Chaoen's conspiracy." Li Yu said: "The Forbidden Army is Li Mi's old department (referring to the tenth emperor Li Heng from Lingwu to Fengxiang, and Li Mi ruled all military and political affairs). So I taught him to go to Daying to visit his relatives and friends. To kill Yu Chaoen, Li Mi also participated in the plan, so you don’t have to doubt him.” But Yuan Zai and his party members continued to make small reports.At this time, Wei Shaoyou, the chief executive (observation envoy) of Jiangxi Province (the capital Hongzhou), asked to send an assistant official to the emperor. Li Yu said to Li Mi: "Yuanzai will not let you go, I will deposit you today. Wei Shaoyou is there, and when I am determined to eradicate Yuanzai, I will definitely write to you and tell you that you will return to Beijing." So Li Mi was appointed as the Jiangxi Province executive officer (Jiangxi judge); Wei Shaoyou was instructed to receive Li Mi well. 1. In spring, on February 15th, the deputy marshal of the field army in Hexi, Longyou, Shannan West Road and other areas of the Tang Dynasty (capital Chang'an) (deputy marshal of Hexi, Longyou, Shannan West Road) and Zelu, Shannan West Road theater ( Li Baoyu (An Baoyu), the commander (Jiedu envoy) of the headquarters, said: "The army under my command has always been trained by myself. But now the north from Helong (Gansu Province and Qinghai Province) East), south to Fuzhou (Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province) and Wenzhou (Wenxian County, Gansu Province), with a territory of more than 2,000 miles, it is very difficult to appease and mobilize. If the Tubo army is divided into two groups and launched at the same time, one attack Minzhou (Minxian County, Gansu Province) will attack Longzhou (Longxian County, Shaanxi Province) all the way; if I guard Qianshui (a tributary of Wei River, Qianshui) and Longshan Mountain, I will not be able to save Liangzhou (Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province) and Minshan Mountain; If I reinforce Fuzhou and Wenzhou, the bandits (Tuban Army) will press hard on Gyeonggi (Guanfu), and I will not be able to respond first and last, and I will be at a loss as to what to do. Please send another talented general from the central government and let him be the commander of the Shannan Xidao theater , so that I can concentrate on protecting Longdi (eastern Gansu Province).” Emperor Tang (the eleventh emperor) Li Yu (Li Chu, 46 years old this year) issued an imperial edict to allow it. 2. Guo Ziyi, Deputy Marshal of the Field Army in the Kansai and Hedong regions, returned to Pingzhou (Bin County, Shaanxi Province) from the capital (Chang'an, the capital). 3. Liang Chongqian, the chieftain of the Lingnan Man (a minority ethnic group south of the Nanling Mountains), claimed to be "the highest commanding officer of the Pingnan Ten Dao" (Pingnan Ten Dao Dadu Tong), guarding Rongzhou (Beiliu City, Guangxi), and Xiyuan Zhang Hou and Xia Yong, the leaders of the Man (minority groups in Jingxi County, Guangxi), gathered together and sent troops out to seize the city.Yuan Jie, the former military commander (economic envoy) of the Rongzhou Military District (the capital is Rongzhou), etc., all overseas Chinese live in Cangwu (the county where the Wuzhou Prefecture Government is located, Wuzhou City, Guangxi) and work (the Rongzhou Military District governs fourteen prefectures: Rong Zhouzhou, Bianzhou, Douzhou, Baizhou, Laozhou, Yuzhou, Tangzhou, Lianzhou, Yanzhou, Dangzhou, Pingqinzhou, Yizhou, Yulinzhou, Xiuzhou).The new military commander (economic envoy) Wang Hong (sound hong) arrived in Tengzhou (Teng County, Guangxi), sold his property, recruited troops, and within a few months, killed the leader of the changed people Ouyang Gui, and then rode to Guangzhou ( Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province), met with Li Mian, the commander of the Lingnan Theater (Headquarters in Guangzhou), and asked for more troops to recover Rongzhou; Notify the states with an official document, and threaten to send 1,000 people to support. With this kind of momentum, we can also succeed." Li Mian agreed. Wang Hongnai signed an alliance with Governor Chen Rencui of Yizhou and Governor Li Xiaoting of Tengzhou, vowing to put an end to the chaos.Wang Hong recruited new soldiers, assembled more than 3,000 people, and defeated tens of thousands of rebels; he continued to attack Rongzhou and conquered the city.Liang Chongqian was captured alive; after more than 100 hard battles before and after, he finally took back the original territory of the Rongzhou military area.Another general was sent to attack the Western Plains and take back Yulin Prefecture and other states. At first, Feng Chongdao, the leader of the mutiny in Panyu (the county where the Guangzhou state government is located), and Zhu Jishi, the leader of the mutiny in Guizhou (Guilin City, Guangxi), both defended dangerous positions and resisted the government. Can't conquer.Li Mian sent his general Li Guan, together with Wang Hong, to attack and behead them all. In March, the war in Wuling (Nanling Mountains) was completely quelled. 4. Hebei (north of the Yellow River) was hit by severe drought, and each bucket of rice was worth 1,000 yuan. 5. In summer, on April 3rd, Yang Zilin, governor of Lizhou (Li County, Hunan Province), went to Beijing to meet.Li Yu treated him generously and ordered him to change his name to Yang You. 6. On April 4th, Dong Xiu was promoted to be the manager of the Dowager’s Palace of the Eunuch Administration (Diannei, under the fifth rank) as the Secretary-General of the Eunuch Administration (Neichangshi, under the fifth rank). 7. The Kingdom of Tubo (the capital city of Luoxie) asked the Tang Dynasty for reconciliation. On April 24, the Tang government sent Wu Shun, who also served as chief inspector (and doctor of imperial history) to Tubo. 8. Li Shaoliang, General Affairs Officer of Chengdu (Chengdu City, Sichuan Province) Special Municipal Government (Chengdu Silu·Zhengqipinshang), Shangshu wrote about the unknown private matters such as treachery, evil and corruption in Yuanzai. Li Yu summoned Li Shaoliang to the capital and settled in Legislative Yuan (Zhongshu Province) Li Hotel (Hakka Province).Li Shaoliang told his friend Wei Song what the emperor had said to him; Wei Song then told his friend Lu Jue, the court supervisor (the censor in the palace), and Lu Jue told his friend Yuan Zai, and Yuan Zai went to Shu to defend. Li Yu was furious, and arrested Li Shaoliang, Wei Song, and Lu Ting, and imprisoned them in the Prison of the General Procuratorate (Yushitai).The censor (censor) accused Li Shaoliang, Wei Song, and Lu Ting of being vicious and treacherous, working in collusion, and provoking the relationship between the king and his subjects. On May 23, Li Yu ordered the capital Chang'an Special City Government (Jingzhao) to take The three were beaten to death with sticks. 9. In autumn, on July 22, Yuan Zai said: "For civil and military officials below the sixth grade appointed by the emperor, the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Ministry of Officials) and the Ministry of National Defense (Military Department) do not need to follow normal procedures for investigation and assessment (Tang The civil service system in the early days of the dynasty, refer to December 710)." Approved by Li Yu. At that time, many low-level officials appointed by Yuan Zaizou were not qualified or violated laws and regulations. I was afraid that the relevant units would refute, so I made this suggestion. 10. On August 14th, Li Zhongchen (Dong Qin), the commander of the Huaixi Theater (headquartered in Caizhou), led a task force of 2,000 people to station in Fengtian (Qian County, Shaanxi Province) to participate in the autumn border defense mission. 11. Li Yu became more and more disgusted with Yuan Zai's actions, and planned to find an intellectual who would not flatter Yuan Zai to be his confidant, and gradually take back the authority in Yuan Zai's hands. On August 13th, Li Yu directly issued an edict to promote Li Qiyun, the chief executive (observation envoy) of Zhexi Road (the capital is Suzhou), to be the chief inspector (doctor Yushi).The prime minister was completely unaware of this, and Yuan Zai's power began to decline from then on. 12. The Tubo army crossed Qingshiling (southwest of Zhenyuan County, Gansu Province) and entered Nacheng (Xigucheng Township, Pengyang County, Ningxia).Guo Ziyi sent someone to advise, and the next day, the Tubo army retreated. 13. This year, Han Huang, the Secretary-General of the State Council (Shangshu Youcheng), was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Finance of the State Council (Minister of the Household Department) and the National Chief Financial Officer (Pan Duzhi). Since the outbreak of the war (referring to the Anlushan Mutiny in 755), the government has collected land taxes without restraint, and there are no laws and regulations to follow for warehouse income and expenditure. At the end of the year, Wang Yu was in charge of finances, and the tax system had begun to be destroyed in order to collect a large amount of taxes for the emperor to squander, refer to October 745. After the Anshi Rebellion, it was more comprehensively destroyed).Han Huang was honest and diligent, and was especially proficient in accounting operations, so he formulated land tax collection and transportation regulations, strictly enforced them, and clearly rewarded and punished his subordinates, who dared not deceive him.At the same time, it also happened to coincide with successive years of bumper harvests and safe borders, so the warehouse gradually accumulated and began to fill up. Han Huang is the son of Han Xiu (Han Xiu, the early prime minister of the ninth emperor Li Longji, refer to March 733). 1. In spring, on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, the envoys of the Huihe Khanate (Hanhai Desert Group) left without permission the vassal affairs department (Honghu Temple) that entertained them, and came out to rob folk women. Three hundred cavalry attacked Jinguangmen (the middle gate west of the capital Chang'an) and Zhuquemen (the south gate of Miyagi).On that day, all the gates of the palace were closed.The Tang Dynasty (capital Chang'an) emperor (the eleventh emperor) Li Yu (Li Chu, 47 years old this year) sent the eunuch Liu Qingtan (refer to September 762) to come forward to persuade, and Huihe was considered to be over. 2. Guo Ziyi, deputy marshal of the field army in Guannei and Hedong regions (Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces), went to Beijing (capital Chang'an) for an audience. On February 25, Guo Ziyi returned to Binzhou (Bin County, Shaanxi Province). 3. In summer and April, 5,000 cavalrymen of the Tubo Army arrived in Lingzhou (Lingwu City, Ningxia). They did not attack and retreated soon. 4. On May 15th, pardon the world. 5. In autumn, on July 14th, Huihe envoys rushed out of the vassal affairs department again without authorization, and forced Shao Shuo, the county magistrate of Chang'an (the western half of the capital, Chang'an), to Hanguangmen Street, and took away his mount.Shao said he had to ride another horse away, not daring to argue. (In the seventh century, the Turks were rampant on the land of the Tang Dynasty; in the eighth century, the Uyghurs were rampant on the land of the Tang Dynasty.) 6. Zhu Xicai, the commander (Jiedushi) of the Lulong War Zone (headquartered in Youzhou), won the high command position (Zhu Xicai killed Li Huaixian, refer to June 1976), he was arrogant towards the central government and cruel and violent towards his subordinates .The clerk (Kong Mu officer) Li Huaiai took advantage of the anger of the army and seized the opportunity to kill Zhu Xicai.Everyone didn't know how to deal with the aftermath. The deputy military commander (Deputy Envoy of Economics and Strategy) Zhu Xi was stationed in the north of the city. His younger brother Zhu Tao led the guards of the headquarters (Yannei soldiers) to station in the city, and secretly sent more than a hundred people among the soldiers. Loudly declared: "The commander must be Deputy Commander Zhu (Deputy Envoy Zhu Shi)!" Everyone agreed.Zhu Sui temporarily acted as the alternate commander (after Quan Zhiliu), and sent envoys to the capital (the capital Chang'an) to report the situation. In winter, on October 24th, Li Yu ordered Zhu Xi to be the Supreme Adviser of the Supervisory Yuan (Zuo Changshi of the Procuratorate) and the commander of the Lulong Theater. 7. On December 25, the Yongping Army base was moved to Huazhou (Huabo Theater Headquarters Hua County, Henan Province. The Yongping Army Base was originally located in Jiangling Prefecture, refer to September 760). 1. In the spring, the first month, Xue Song, the commander (Jiedushi) of the Tang Dynasty (capital Chang'an) Zhaoyi Theater (headquartered in Xiangzhou) and governor of Xiangzhou, passed away.Xue Song's son, Xue Ping, was twelve years old this year. The soldiers surrounded him and forced him to succeed him as the commander. Xue Ping pretended to agree; but soon he gave up the position to his uncle Xue Wei. At midnight, he took his father's coffin He fled back to his hometown (Wanquan County, Jiangzhou, now Wanrong County, Shanxi Province). On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Tang (the eleventh generation emperor) Li Yu (Li Chu, 48 years old this year) issued an edict ordering Xue Wei to act as the alternate commander (after Zhiliu). 2. On February 27, Linghuzhang, commander of the Yongping theater (headquartered in Huazhou), passed away. After the world was in chaos and the people were displaced, Linghu Zhang restrained the army, encouraged farmers to plow the fields and plant mulberries, and enriched the warehouses.At that time, all the war zones were arrogant and domineering, only Linghu Zhang paid land taxes and tribute products, and there was never a shortage.Every year, a task force of 3,000 people is sent to the west of Beijing (west of the capital Chang'an) to participate in the autumn defense of the frontier, and they carry their own food. They refuse all supplies from the government and the people along the way. Enough to make us pay infinite respect to Linghu Zhang). Linghuzhang was seriously ill, so he summoned the confidential secretary (secretary in charge) Qi Ying from Gaoyang (Gaoyang County, Hebei Province) to discuss various affairs after his death. Appoint a suitable person to take over.Linghuzhang accepted it, and said in his legacy: "In the past, Yu Chaoen defeated Shi Chaoyi (refer to October 761) and planned to take advantage of the victory to plunder Huazhou (Hua County, Henan Province). I firmly refused, so he He was deeply dissatisfied with me. Later, Yu Zhaoen was punished (refer to March 770), and I was sick and bedridden, so I couldn't go to Beijing (the capital Chang'an). It is impossible for me to recover from my illness. The warehouses have been closed, the cattle and horses have been counted, and the generals and soldiers of the army and the officials of the state and county governments are all waiting for the central government's orders. My naive opinion is that Liu Yan, Minister of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials), and Minister of Engineering ( Minister of the Ministry of Industry) and Li Mian are the pillars of the empire and can take on important tasks. I hope they can be appointed to take over my position. My son Linghu Jian and others have ordered them to return to their private residences in the Eastern Capital (Luoyang, Luoyang City, Henan Province).” After Linghuzhang's death, the generals planned to support Linghujian. Linghujian vowed that he would rather die than accept it, and his family returned west. (Linghu Zhang descended to Tang in May 761 and served as the commander of the Huawei theater, guarding Huazhou for 13 years.) On March 1, Li Yu ordered Li Mian to be the commander of the Yongping theater. 3. Xu Hao and Xue Yong, the vice ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Minister of the Ministry of Officials), are both in the party of Prime Minister Yuan Zai and Commander Wang Jin of the Hedong War Zone (headquartered in Taiyuan Prefecture).The younger brother of Xu Hao’s concubine, Hou Mochen 怤 (Hou Mochen, three-character surname. 怤, sound fu), works as a guard (wei) in the county government of Meiyuan (Northeast Meiyuan Town, Fuping County, Shaanxi Province); Xu Hao asks the capital Chang’an to special The mayor (Jing Zhaoyin) Du Ji fabricated the reason of "being in charge of the stagecoach and has excellent grades" and gave a report on the special case; at the same time, please Xue Yong, after Du Ji's report, transfer Hou Mochen to Chang'an (the capital of Chang'an West). Bancheng) The county government acts as a defender. After Hou Mochen took office, he went to the Chief Prosecutor's Office (Yushitai) to see him. Li Qiyun, the Chief Procurator (Censor Doctor), proposed impeachment and reported their fraudulent activities to the emperor.Li Yu ordered Yu Shao, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education of the State Council (Minister of Rites) Wannian (in the east half of the capital, Chang'an), to investigate and interrogate Yu Shao (Yu Shao, Yu Yun's fifth grandson; Yu Yun, refer to October 619) .Yu Shao replied: "The time for their crimes was before the amnesty, so they should not be punished." Li Yu was furious. In summer, on May 11, Xu Hao was demoted to the general secretary of Mingzhou (Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province) (Don't drive), and Xue Yong was the governor of Shezhou (She County, Anhui Province). On May 12, Du Ji was demoted as governor of Hangzhou (Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province), and Yu Shao was appointed Secretary General (Chang Shi) of Guizhou (Guilin City, Guangxi Province); the political style of the central government was slightly corrected. 4. On May 17, Zheng Wang Li Miao (Li Yu's second son) passed away and was posthumously crowned Prince Zhaojing. 5. The Huihe Khanate (Hanhai Desert Group) has asked the Tang Dynasty to discuss a bilateral trade every year since 758 (to date 16 years). A horse asks for forty pieces of silk and satin, and the quantity is so huge that it can be counted at every turn. Ten thousand horses, but the horses are not good horses. They are old, weak and thin, and are of no use at all. The Tang government is very distressed, and the number of purchases cannot satisfy Huihe every time.Huihe’s attitude is tough, as much silk and satin as horses are sent, and if you don’t give them, you will stay and call for payment. The people in front have not left, and the people who came later followed. Pass.Now, in order to please the Huihe people, Li Yu ordered him to buy all good horses and bad horses. In autumn, on the 28th day of the seventh month, all the Uighur envoys bid farewell and returned home, transporting silks and satins for selling horses and rewards from the Tang Dynasty emperor, sharing more than 1,000 vehicles. 6.

On August 18, the commander of the Lulong War Zone (headquartered in Youzhou), Zhu Xi, sent his younger brother Zhu Tao to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to Jingzhou (Jingyuan Theater Headquarters, Jingchuan County, Gansu Province) Participate in frontier autumn defense. Since the Anlushan Mutiny (refer to October 755), Youzhou soldiers have never served the country.So Zhu Tao led the army to arrive, and Li Yu was very happy, and the condolences and rewards were very generous. 8. On August 29, the Huihe Khanate sent an envoy, Chi Xin, to drive 10,000 grazing horses into the Tang Dynasty, demanding to buy them. 9. On September 10, Ge Shuhuang (Ge Shu, double surname), the governor of Xunzhou (Huizhou City, Guangdong Province), beheaded Lv Chongben, the commander of the Lingnan Theater (headquartered in Guangzhou), took control of the area south of Nanling, and broke away from the Central Committee. 10.

If you think I am talking nonsense, please wrap my dead body in a straw mat and put it in a bamboo basket." , Throw it into the wilderness." The capital Chang'an Special Municipal Government (Jingzhao) reported to the Central Committee. Li Yu summoned Xun Mo, rewarded him with new clothes, and entertained him to live in the Li Hotel (Hakka Province) of the Legislative Yuan (Zhongshu Province).The word "tuan" that Xun Mo said was a request to revoke the militia commanders (tuanlian envoys) of the states; the word "supervisor" was a request to revoke the eunuchs who supervised the army sent to various theaters. 11. Tian Chengsi, the commander of the Weibo War Zone (headquartered in Weizhou), built memorial temples for An Lushan and Shi Siming, calling them the "Four Sages"; at the same time, he asked to serve as prime minister.When Li Yu ordered Sun Zhigu, the head eunuch (internal servant), to go to Weizhou, he hinted to Tian Chengsi to demolish it. In winter, on October 2, Tian Chengsiyao was appointed as the second-level prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi·envoy) as a reward. 12. Lingzhou defeated the Tubo army of more than 10,000 people. The Tubo army, with 100,000 troops, attacked Jingzhou and Binzhou (where Guo Ziyi's deputy marshal's residence is located in Binxian County, Shaanxi Province).Guo Ziyi, deputy marshal of the Field Army in Guannei and Hedong (Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces), sent Shuofang combat commander (Shuofang soldier and horse envoy) Hun Yu to lead 5,000 infantry and cavalry to resist. On October 18th, during the battle in Yilu (Changwu County, Shaanxi Province), Hun Li ascended Huangchaoyuan (萯, sound fu. The area around the Weishui River basin called the "tableland" "Yuan". Huangqiyuan, north of Changwu County, Shaanxi Province ), looking at the enemy's situation from a distance, ordered to occupy the dangerous point, set up a refusal horse, and guarded against the Tubo army's sharp attack.Veteran soldiers Shi Kang, Wen Ruya and others look down on the commander Hun Yan and don't listen to the command.When Hun Yu ordered the two to attack, they were almost drunk. They saw the horse and said, "War in the field, what do you want this thing for?" .The Tubo army took advantage of the momentum to pursue, and the border guards of the Tang Dynasty all collapsed. Nine out of ten soldiers were killed, and more than a thousand civilians were captured by the Tubo army. On October 22, Ma Lin (commander of Jingyuan) fought against the Tubo army in Yancang (northwest of Jingchuan County, Gansu Province) and failed again; Returning to the camp, Jiao Lingchen, the combat commander (soldier and horse envoy) of the Jingyuan War Zone (headquartered in Jingzhou), and others attacked each other with the defeated soldiers, scrambling to squeeze into the city gate.Someone persuaded Duan Xiushi, the chief of staff (marching army commander), to close the city and guard the city. Duan Xiushi said: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know where he is. We can only fight forward. How can we only seek our own safety?" Jiao Lingchen and others were summoned to reprimand: "According to military law, If you lose your commander and kill all your subordinates, you have forgotten this." Jiao Lingchen and the others felt terrified and begged for forgiveness.Duan Xiushi mobilized all the soldiers in the city who had not fought, bravely went out of the city, and built an array on the eastern platform, while gathering the remnants of the defeated soldiers who had fled back one after another, expressing that they would launch an attack soon.The Tubo army was a little afraid and retreated slightly.At night, Ma Lin was able to return. Guo Ziyi held a military meeting and said: "The responsibility for the defeat is my responsibility, not your shoulders. However, the bravery of Shuofang soldiers is famous all over the world, but today they were defeated by the barbarians. Is there any way to get rid of this shame?" No one Reply.Hun Yu said: "Generals who have been defeated are not qualified to make further comments, but I want to talk about today's affairs in particular. Please hand me over to court-martial, otherwise, please give me a chance." Guo Ziyi pardoned him for his defeat. , sent him to lead the army to quickly reinforce Chaona (that is, the city. Xigucheng Township, Pengyang County, Ningxia).At that time, the Tubo army had defeated the border guards of the Tang Dynasty, and planned to burn, kill and loot wantonly in the areas of Qianshui (Qianshui, a tributary of Weishui River) and Longshan (the junction of Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province).Li Guochen, governor of Yanzhou (Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province), reminded Guo Ziyi: "The barbarians will definitely take advantage of the victory to attack Gyeonggi. If I cut off their retreat, they will definitely turn back." He led the army straight to Qinyuan (Qingshui County, Gansu Province) East), beating the drums and marching west.The Tubo army got the news that the vanguard had arrived in Baicheng (Bailicheng, West of Lingtai County, Gansu Province), and retreated immediately; Hun Yan set up an ambush on the narrow road, launched an interception, and took back all the men, women and supplies that the Tubo army had looted.Ma Lin also sent elite troops to Panyuan (east of Pingliang City, Gansu Province) to attack the logistics of the Tubo army, killing thousands of people, and the Tubo army fled. 13. On October 23, Lu Sigong, the chief executive (observation envoy) of Jiangxi Province (the capital is Hongzhou), was ordered to go out to attack Ge Shuhuang. 14. At first, Yuan Zai was the governor of Xizhou (east of Turpan City, Xinjiang), and he knew the situation of mountains and rivers in Hexi (central and western Gansu Province), Longyou (southern Gansu Province and eastern Qinghai Province). Now, as the Tubo army continues to penetrate the border of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zai suggested to Li Yu: "The four towns and the Beiting theater (four towns: Qiuci, Yanqi, Shule, and Khotan; the headquarters of the Beiting theater is located in Beitingfu) are specially The dispatched corps has always been stationed in Jingzhou, and there is no danger to defend (the special corps moved to defend Jingzhou, refer to December 768). However, Longshan is high and steep, bordering the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north. Now, the imperial On the border, the west only reaches Panyuan (after the Anlushan mutiny, the Tang Dynasty lost land in the west, from Panyuan to Congling, the air distance is 2,800 kilometers). The Tubo army concentrated on destroying Shabao (Ningxia Haiyuan County), Yuanzhou (Guzhou, Guyuan County, Ningxia) is just in the middle, facing the pass of Longshan Mountain. The land to the west is the wilderness pasture where the empire used to herd horses (the national horse ranch in the Tang Dynasty was established in Longyou, refer to the 11th of 725 month), luxuriant grass, abundant water, and Pingliang (Pingliang City, Gansu Province) to the east. As long as one county can be cultivated, it can supply military rations. The former city still exists, and the Tubo army has not been stationed. Every summer, the Tubo army goes to Go south to Qinghai Lake to graze, far away from the frontier fortress. If you seize this opportunity and urgently repair it, it will be completed in 20 days. Then order the border guards (Ma Lin) who are currently stationed in Jingzhou to station in Yuanzhou, and order to station in Binzhou (Shaanxi The border guards (Guo Ziyi) from Bin County, Ningxia Province) stationed in Jingzhou. Using Yuanzhou as a base, they sent troops to guard Shimen (southeast of Haiyuan County, Ningxia) and Muxia (southwest of Guyuan County, Ningxia), and gradually opened up Longyou (west of Longshan Mountain).最后推进到安西（龟兹·新疆库车县），夺取吐蕃王国（首都逻些城）的心脏地带，西方大患，政府就可以不再忧虑。”并且绘制地图，一并呈报；一面秘密派间谍越过陇山作实地勘察。 汴宋战区（即河南战区·总部设汴州）司令官田神功进京朝见，李豫征求他的意见，田神功说：“作战出征，判断敌情，沙场老将都感到困难，陛下为什么采纳一个文官的建议，动员全国的力量去听他指挥！”元载不久就出事（参考七七七年三月），事情遂被搁置。 15、唐政府有关单位认为回纥使节赤心贩卖的马匹太多，建议只买一千匹。郭子仪认为，这样做对回纥的伤害恐怕太重，请求捐出一年的俸禄代政府收购其他的九千匹，李豫不许。

二月二十日，中央命田神功的老弟田神玉代理候补司令官（知汴宋留后）。 6、二月二十四日，关内、河东地区（陕西省及山西省）野战军副元帅郭子仪进京朝见，警告皇帝李豫说：“朔方（宁夏灵武市），是帝国的北方门户，二十年来，战士们死亡失散的结果，现在剩下的十人中不过一人（可哀）。而今，吐蕃兼并河陇（甘肃省及青海省东部），军队中羼杂羌部落及吐谷浑部落战士，力量增强十倍，我们用来对抗的边防军必须加强，中央应要求各战区再派出精锐士兵，必须集结四五万人，才有制伏敌人的把握。” 7、三月九日，李豫把女儿永乐公主许配给魏博战区（总部设魏州）司令官田承嗣的儿子田华。 李豫打算利用婚姻关系，希望使田承嗣心向中央，但田承嗣却越发傲慢骄横。 8、三月十九日，命澧朗地区卫戍司令杨猷当洮州（甘肃省临潭县）州长、陇右战区作战司令（兵马使。洮州已陷吐蕃，陇右战区原总部所在鄯州也陷吐蕃，陇右特遣兵团则驻凤翔府境协防）。

13、六月，卢龙战区（总部设幽州）司令官朱泚，派他的老弟朱滔携带奏章，表示愿进京朝见，并将亲率步骑兵五千人，参加西部边疆秋防。李豫批准，并在京师先行兴建高楼大院，准备接待。 14、六月十五日，京师兴善寺的外籍和尚不空逝世（不空，参考七六七年七月）。李豫追赠他官衔：开府仪同三司（文散官一级·从一品）、司空（三公之三），封肃国公，谥号大辩正广智不空三藏和尚。 15、京师大旱成灾。首都长安特别市长（京兆尹）黎幹用泥土塑造一条龙，向上天祈雨，亲自和男女巫法师轮流舞蹈，可是，一个月之久仍没有落雨；无可奈何，又向孔丘庙祈祷，仍没有反应。李豫听到这个消息，下令撤除土龙，减少自己进餐时菜肴的数目，节省宫廷费用。 秋季，七月二十一日，落雨。 16、朱泚进京朝见，抵达蔚州（河北省蔚县），患病（朱泚采取的是太原路线），各将领请先行折回，等病情稍轻时再走。朱泚说：“我就是死了，抬着尸首也要走。”各将领不敢再坚持。 九月四日，抵达京师，夹道欢迎的宫员和居民好像两道长墙（七五五年以后，二十年之久，朱泚是河朔各战区司令官来京的第一人）。 九月五日，李豫在延英殿摆设宴席，宴请朱泚和他的将领；犒劳赏赐的丰盛数年来从没有过。 17、九月六日，回纥汗国（瀚海沙漠群）使节再度擅自冲出藩属事务部（鸿胪寺）招待所，光天化日之下，在街上格杀市民，有关单位生擒凶手，李豫下令释放，命不再追究。 18、九月八日，命关内、河东地区野战军副元帅（元帅府设邠州）郭子仪、凤翔战区（总部设凤翔府）司令官李抱玉（安抱玉）、泾原战区司令官马璘、卢龙战区司令官朱泚，分别统御各战区道秋防部队。 19、冬季，十月六日，信王李瑝逝世。十月九日，梁王李璿逝世（二人都是九任帝李隆基的儿子）。 20、魏博战区司令官田承嗣挑拨昭义战区（总部设相州）兵变。 1、春季，正月三日，唐王朝（首都长安）昭义战区（总部设相州）作战司令（兵马使）裴志清驱逐候补司令官（留后）薛崿（薛崿接替老哥薛嵩官位，参考七七三年正月），率领他的部众投降魏博战区（总部设魏州）司令官（节度使）田承嗣。田承嗣声言增援，率军袭击相州，占领城池。薛锷逃到洺州（河北省永年县东南旧永年镇），上疏请求进京（首都长安）朝见。唐帝（十一任代宗）李豫（李俶，本年五十岁）批准。 2、正月七日，关内、河东地区（陕西省及山西省）野战军副元帅郭子仪自邠州（陕西省彬县）进京朝见。 3、正月八日，寿王李瑁逝世（李瑁，是杨玉环的前夫，杨玉环如不死，本年五十九岁）。 4、正月十一日，卢龙战区（总部设幽州）司令官朱泚上疏请求留在京师当官，推荐老弟朱滔当卢龙战区代理候补司令官（知留后）。Li Yu approved. 5、昭义战区初级将领薛择当相州州长、薛雄当卫州（河南省卫辉市）州长、薛坚当洺州州长，都是故司令官薛嵩的家族（薛嵩逝世，参考七七三年正月）。 正月十四日，李豫命宦官总管（内侍）魏知古前往魏州，传话给田承嗣，命他跟薛家班州长们各自严守疆界，田承嗣拒绝。 正月十九日，田承嗣派大将卢子期攻洺州、杨光朝攻卫州。 6、正月二十一日，西川战区（总部设成都府）司令官崔宁（崔旰）奏称在西山（成都以西山区）击破吐蕃王国（首都逻些城）数万人，其中格杀一万人，俘虏数千人。 7、正月二十二日，李豫下诏说：“各战区士卒有逃亡的，除非奉到中央指令，不准招募补充。” 8、二月一日，田承嗣引诱卫州州长薛雄弃城投降，薛雄拒绝。田承嗣派刺客格杀薛雄，屠灭薛雄全家，遂把相州、卫州、洺州、磁州（河北省磁县）四州全部并吞，直接任命州长等官员，收编所有精兵良马，集中魏州。 田承嗣强迫钦差宦官魏知古陪他一同巡视磁州、相州，教一些将士刀割耳朵、划破面孔，坚决请求中央任命田承嗣当他们的统帅。 9、二月七日，封皇子李述当睦王、李逾当郴王、李连当恩王、李遘当鄜王、李迅当随王、李造当忻王、李暹当韶王、李运当嘉王、李遇当端王、李通当循王、李通当恭王、李达当原王、李逸当雅王。 10、二月十二日，命华州（陕西省华县）州长李承昭当昭义战区代理候补司令官（知留后。唐政府此项任命，只是显示不承认昭义战区被并）。 11、河阳三城（河南省孟州市）基地司令（河阳三城使）常休明刻薄寡恩、没有情义。基地参加西疆秋防的特遣兵团，由京师回军返镇，常休明出城迎接慰劳，特遣兵团跟基地留守部队联合兵变，攻击常休明，常休明逃到东都洛阳（河南省洛阳市）。将士们拥护作战司令（兵马使）王惟恭当统帅，大肆烧杀掳掠，几天之后才恢复秩序。 李豫命监军宦官冉庭兰前去慰问安抚。 12、三月一日，陕虢道（首府设陕州）兵变，驱逐作战司令（兵马使）赵令珍；陕虢道行政长官（观察使）李国清无法阻止，只好卑屈求全，低声下气，向所有的将士叩头，才算逃出一命，变兵遂乘势大肆抢劫。正巧，淮西战区（总部设蔡州）司令官李忠臣（董秦）前往京师朝见，路过陕州，李豫命李忠臣顺便调查处理。陕州将士畏惧李忠臣的强大军队，不敢反抗。李忠区用篱笆围一个空地，下令说：“把所抢劫的东西丢进去，就不再追究。”为了脱罪，大家纷纷丢入，只一天时间，丢进去的东西价值便达一万串钱，李忠臣并不发还民间，而全数分给随从士卒当做赏赐。 13、三月十二日，薛崿、常休明前往皇宫门前，请求宽恕。 李豫一律赦免，不追究责任。 14、最初，成德战区（总部设恒州）司令官李宝臣（张忠志）、平卢战区（总部设青州）司令官李正己（李怀玉），都受魏博战区司令官田承嗣的轻视。 李宝臣的老弟李宝正，娶田承嗣的女儿为妻。李宝正在魏州跟田承嗣的儿子田维打马球游戏，李宝正的坐骑忽然受惊狂奔，无法控制，竟把田维撞死。田承嗣大怒若狂，逮捕李宝正囚禁，派人通知李宝臣。李宝臣承认自己管教不严，特别送上一根木棍，请田承嗣代为责打教训。田承嗣为子报仇，竟把女婿乱棍打死，这种凶蛮的反应使李宝臣大为惊骇，两个战区的友谊从此破裂。现在，田承嗣反抗中央，李宝臣、李正己都上疏请求讨伐，而李豫也正想利用他们之间的矛盾，对田承嗣采取行动。 夏季，四月三日（原文“乙未”，据《旧唐书》改），李豫下诏贬田承嗣为永州（湖南省永州市）州长。另敕令河东战区（总部设太原府）、成德战区、卢龙战区、平卢战区、淮西战区、永平战区（总部设滑州）、汴宋战区（总部设汴州）、河阳军基地（设河阳）、泽潞战区（总部设潞州）各派特遣兵团向魏州前进，如果田承嗣推托延迟，不肯前往就职，大家立即发动攻击。诏书并声明说：罪犯只限于田承嗣跟他的侄儿田悦，其他将士以及田家班兄弟侄儿等，只要能跟叛徒划清界限，政府对他们过去的行为一律不予追究。 当时，卢龙战区司令官朱滔对中央最为恭顺，遂会同李宝臣跟河东战区司令官薛兼训，攻击魏州北部（河东兵团应绕过太行山北段，进入卢龙战区，与朱滔会合南下）：李正己跟淮西战区李忠臣等攻击魏州南部。 五月三日，田承嗣部将霍荣国献出磁州投降。 五月十五日，李正己攻击德州（山东省陵县），攻克。李忠臣率永平（滑州·河南省滑县）、河阳、怀州（河南省沁阳市）、泽州（山西省晋城市）等步骑兵四万人庞大军团，攻击卫州。 六月九日，田承嗣派将领裴志清等攻击冀州（河北省冀州市。属成德战区），裴志清率领部队投降李正己。 六月十二日，田承嗣亲自率军攻击冀州。李宝臣派高阳军（驻易州·河北省易县）基地司令（使）张孝忠，率精锐骑兵四千人迎战，李忠臣主力随后抵达；田承嗣发现形势不利，遂焚烧粮草辎重，迅速撤退。张孝忠，是奚部落（滦河上游）人（当过安禄山的前锋官，参考七五五年十二月八日）。田承嗣因各战区特遣兵团从四方拥来，而部将又有很多人背叛逃走，才感到恐惧。 秋季，八月，田承嗣派人携带奏章，前往京师（首都长安）呈递，请准许他以有罪之身回归中央。 15、八月二十日，郭子仪返邠州。 郭子仪曾经上疏保荐一个县长，中央不作答复。僚属们互相议论说：“就凭令公的功勋超人（郭子仪中央官称“中书令”），德高望重，保荐一个部下当地方官，中央竟然不理，当宰相的怎么不识大体！”郭子仪听到消息，告诉僚属们说：“自从天下大乱，驻扎各地的军事将领多数专横凶暴，只要提出要求，中央总是委曲求全，想尽办法使他们满意。没有什么特别原因，只是怀疑他们而己。我今天上疏所作建议，皇上认为它不可行而予以搁置，这正表示不把我当做军阀看待，是对我特别亲厚，你们应该为我祝贺才对，有什么好奇怪的。”听到郭子仪这番话的人都口服心服。 16、八月十八日，田承嗣派将领卢子期进攻磁州。 17、九月十七日，留在首都长安的回纥人，光天化日之下攻击市民，受到攻击的市民连肠子都被刺出来。主管单位把凶手逮捕，囚禁万年县（首都长安东半城）监狱。回纥人的酋长赤心攻进监狱，砍伤警卫人员，把囚犯救走。李豫不准追究（赤心运马来卖，参考七七三年八月，流连不去，可能对唐朝只购六千匹不满，参考该年十一月）。 18、九月二十一日，吐蕃军攻击临泾（甘肃省镇原县）。 九月二十二日，再攻击陇州（陕西省陇县）及普润（陕西省凤翔县北），大肆掳掠男女及家畜向西撤走；官员们只好把自己的家属送到城外躲藏。 九月二十五日，凤翔战区司令官李抱玉（安抱玉）奏报：在义宁（甘肃省华亭县）击破吐蕃军。 19、成德战区司令官李宝臣、平卢战区司令官李正己（李怀玉），在枣强（河北省枣强县）会师，进围贝州（河北省清河县。贝州原是昭义战区属州，田承嗣吞并昭义时，同时夺取贝州，但没有特别记载）。田承嗣出军增援。两战区分别犒劳他们的士卒，成德战区的赏赐较多，平卢战区的赏赐较少。事后，平卢战区士卒口吐怨言，李正己恐怕军心有变，立即率部队退出战场，李宝臣也跟着撤退。淮西战区司令官李忠臣听到消息，也解除卫州包围，渡黄河南下，驻扎阳武（河南省原阳县），观望形势。 李宝臣跟卢龙战区候补司令官（留后）朱滔，转而攻击沧州（河北省沧州市东南），田承嗣的堂弟田庭玠守城，李宝臣不能攻克。 20、吐蕃军攻击泾州（甘肃省泾川县），泾原战区（总部设泾州）司令官马璘在百里城（甘肃省灵台县西）把他们击败。 九月二十七日，李豫命卢龙战区司令官朱泚前往奉天（陕西省乾县）坐镇。 21、冬季，十月一日，日食。 22、田承嗣部将卢子期进攻磁州，几乎把城攻破，成德战区司令官李宝臣（张忠志），会同昭义战区候补司令官李承昭联合增援，在清水（河北省磁县西北）大破卢子期军，生擒卢子期，押送京师斩首。河南（黄河以南）中央各将领又在陈留（河南省开封市东南陈留镇）大破田悦；田承嗣大为恐惧。 最初，平卢战区司令官李正己派使节去魏州，田承嗣把他扣留囚禁；现在，把那位使节当做贵宾，放他回去，并把全部户籍、官兵名册、粮食绸缎账簿送给那位使节，请他转述田承嗣的话说：“我今年己八十六岁（本年田承嗣七十一岁，故意多报，欺骗呆瓜），随时都会死去，儿子们没有一个成材，侄儿田悦也懦弱无能，我今天所有的这些东西，只是替大帅暂时保管罢了，何至劳大帅兴师动众！”请那位使节面向南方站在庭院里，田承嗣向他叩头，把信件交给他带回去；又绘制李正己的肖像悬挂，烧香膜拜。李正己心花怒放，遂按兵不动。而河南（黄河以南）中央军其他各特遣兵团都不敢单独前进。田承嗣既然解除南面的威胁，就专心对付北面。 李豫嘉勉成德战区司令官李宝臣的功劳，特派宦官马承倩携带诏书前去慰劳。马承倩将回京复命时，李宝臣亲自去宾馆给他饯行，致送绸锻一百匹，但马承倩预期的数字要多得多，大为失望，于是霎时间翻脸，破口大骂，把绸锻统统扔到马路上，李宝臣在左右侍从面前受到侮辱，十分羞惭。作战司令（兵马使）王武俊（参考七六二年十一月）警告说：“你刚刚立下大功，小瘪三还敢这样。一旦盗匪平息，上面只要用一道命令教你去京师宫门报到，你就不过一个小民而已。依我之意，不如放田承嗣一马，把他当做你的资本。”李宝臣遂生豢养盗匪保护自己的念头。 田承嗣知道：范阳（幽州州政府所在城）是李宝臣的故乡，李宝臣希望能并入自己战区（《新唐书·藩镇传》：“李宝臣本是奚部落人，范阳将领张琐高收作养子，因名张忠志。”曾一度为安禄山养子，改姓安；归降中央后，皇帝赐姓名李宝
