Chapter 48 Chapter 48: Yan Gaoqing Undercovers Changshan County Li Banxian to Rescue Guo Ziyi

An Lushan never expected that there would be such a good player in the court. First, in order to regain face, and second, to regain the Jingbian army, he sent Datong soldiers and horse envoy Xue Zhongyi to lead the army.As for Guo Ziyi, he lined up early and waited quietly for the arrival of the bandit army.The bandit army came and encountered a rare head-to-head encounter. Afterwards, they were killed and collapsed, with countless casualties, and seven thousand Huqi were buried alive. Guo Ziyi entered the siege of Yunzhong, and the faction general Gongsun Qiongyan led two thousand soldiers to attack Mayi, took it easily, and then marched to Dongxing Pass.An Lushan and Li Longji heard Guo Ziyi's news almost at the same time, and they had different reactions.The first is An Lushan. After being trapped on the outside, he was just angry, but he heard that there were also problems inside, so he became furious; followed by Li Longji, who heard that Guo Ziyi had repeatedly delivered good news, and named him Doctor Yushi.

Why did Guo Ziyi win like a god? The answer is in the deployment list—— Li Guangbi, the envoy of the left soldier (covering his face and exclaiming) Right Soldier and Horse Envoy Gao Jun (...I have never heard of it, probably very good) Zuo Wufeng's envoy Pu Gu Huai'en (Ge Lanba Yan's great-grandson, governor of Jinwei) You Wufeng sent Hun Shizhi (the leader of the Hun tribe, the governor of Gaolan) The army led by these people is also the elite mobilized from the Western Regions, so once under their command, they have the ability to defeat the enemy and gallop thousands of miles.There was also a problem inside An Lushan. He first misjudged Guo Ziyi, and now he realized that Guo Ziyi was not the only one who was misjudged, there was another person, and this person was Yan Gaoqing, who made the bandits hate him so much.An Lushan originally thought that although Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing were relatives, their temperaments were quite different.In An Lushan's eyes, Yan Gaoqing is a person who knows how to cooperate.

However, he was wrong, and he was completely wrong. Just when Guo Ziyi defeated the bandit army, Yan Gaoqing rebelled against Anlu Mountain.The undercover agent Yan Gaoqing recharged his energy, bowed his knees for so long, and finally contacted Feng Qian who joined the army, Qian Zhendingling Jia Shen, Gaocheng Lieutenant Cui Anshi, county man Zhai Wande, Neiqiu Cheng Zhang Tongyou and others, and gathered in Changshan (Zhengding, Hebei) ), echoed Yan Zhenqing from afar, and discussed the plan to destroy the thieves.There are not many of them, but they are enough to make Fatty An panic. There are two reasons: first, they can stab the bandit army in the back; Be a fox without a nest, a bird without a nest.

Just as he was planning, Yan Gaoqing's nephew Lu Ti came galloping in the chaos, and he brought a letter from Yan Zhenqing, the prefect of Pingyuan.An Lushan's strategy to deal with the civil strife was very simple. He sent Jinwu General Gao Miao to Youzhou to recruit troops, and this Gao Miao never came back after he went.Yan Gaoqing, who was in Changshan, was still a member of An Lushan in front of the bandit army. At least Li Qincou, the leader of Changshan bandit army, didn't know that they were meeting all day long for the purpose of rebellion. Lord Yan Gaoqing prepared some small gifts, and invited Lord Li to the mansion to celebrate. In the evening, Lord Li had the cheek to bring a group of people to Changshan Mansion to eat and drink.Yuan Luqian and Feng Qian prepared wine and meat, and took a few seductive prostitutes. Li Qin was overjoyed and drank until midnight.

The next day, people saw Li Qincouu and his subordinates tied up, taken to the vegetable market and beheaded for public display.The same method was used on Gao Miao and He Qiannian.Quite different from others, others only care about confession (the form of confession is mainly crying), but He Qiannian's expression remained unchanged, and he told Yan Gaoqing that as a man, he should start well and end well when doing things, and advised Yan Gaoqing, Chang Shan The men and horses in the county are all mobs, they can't resist the enemy at all, and they must not compete with the bandits.Moreover, we must keep breathing, and wait until the Shuofang Dao army arrives before we move forward. At that time, we will march together to spread the news to Zhao, Wei, Duanyan, and Ji. Even if An Lushan sends reinforcements, they can only wait to be captured.

What He Qiannian said was from the bottom of his heart, and Yan Gaoqing asked him to continue talking.Among the An Lushan army, the most useless unit was Zhang Xiancheng, whose materials were not good, the quality was extremely poor, and it would break if touched.And he was stationed in Shanxi, very close to here, if Yan Gaoqing lied that General Li Guangbi led 10,000 elite troops to fight, Zhang Xiancheng would definitely flee. Yan Gaoqing was very happy, and made people look up to He Qiannian, and then sent people to Shanxi to spread rumors.Zhang Xiancheng made a crazy move, even more excessive than He Qiannian said.When he heard that Li Guangbi was coming, he immediately announced his departure, and assembled a regiment for training before fleeing, but the regiment could not be gathered for life and death, and he was afraid that Li Guangbi would take a back route, so he ran to a place where there were no people in the wild, and could not find any organization.Yan Gaoqing went to Raoyang, rewarded the soldiers, and ordered Cui Anshi and others to go to the counties to deliver orders, "The army has gone to Jingxing, and it will arrive day and night. First, the counties in Hebei will be pacified. Those who go down first will be rewarded, and those who come later will be punished!"

As soon as the assembly order was issued, all counties in Hebei who fell into the hands of the bandit army killed the bandits and responded one after another. Except for the six counties of Fanyang, Lulong, Miyun, Yuyang, Ji, and Ye, the remaining seventeen counties raised their arms and shouted, and they all returned to Yan Gao Under Qing's command, there are more than 200,000 soldiers in the counties of Hebei, who swear to be the master to fight against thieves, and their reputation is mighty. Only the An Lushan army that had not yet been breached at Tongguan was left, and now it had reached Xin'an, but when they heard that Hebei was completely reversed, they could only turn around immediately and return to Hebei.At this festive moment, on the first day of the first lunar month in 756 AD, An Lushan ascended the throne and became emperor. Although he ascended the throne in Luoyang, his old nest, Fan Yang, was located in Yanjing, so he called himself Emperor Dayan and changed his name to Yuan Shengwu.

Calling a king and being an emperor is a very boring thing. It is a name for nothing, and it hurts deeply. "Building high walls and becoming king slowly" is great wisdom, but fortunately, Anlu Mountain does not have this kind of wisdom.He was enthroned, but soldiers and horses from all over the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to gather.First, when Li Sui arrived in Suiyang, he had tens of thousands of troops. Suiyang, Shangqiu, Henan, looks like an insignificant city, but in fact, it is an important military area connecting Jianghuai in Nantong and Youzhou in the north, as well as an important location for the river to transport food and grass and connect the north and the south. Its significance is extraordinary.With Li Sui as the envoy of Henan Jiedu, Gao Yaowei Xu Yuan was the prefect and defense envoy of Suiyang in the past, in order to defend this place firmly. They will all be devoured and ravaged by the bandit army.

Suiyang, remember this place! The luck of He Qiannian and Gao Miao was really good. They accompanied Li Qincou's head to Chang'an by Yan Quanming (son of Yan Gaoqing), Jia Shen, Zhai Wande and others.Zhang Tongyou, who was still staying in Changshan, saw that everyone was about to leave, watched them go, and suddenly burst into tears, "Tongyou's brother is in the hands of thieves, let Quanming and I go together to save my clan!" Zhang Tongyou Tongyou cried louder.Yan Gaoqing was very moved, looked at Zhang Tongyou who was crying into mud, and nodded in agreement. Yan Gaoqing was right, and so was Zhang Tongyou.

Someone once said, don't deceive others, because the ones you deceive are those who are willing to believe in you.Yan Gaoqing is willing to believe in Zhang Tongyou, and Zhang Tongyou is a truly sinister person.It doesn't matter whether the clan is saved or not, Zhang Tongyou first came to Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye, and offered a plan to let Wang Chengye detain Yan Quanming and others, and then wrote a letter to show his merits.In fact, Zhang Tongyou is still very kind. The object of his letter is not An Lushan, but Li Longji. The kindness is really a bit too much. The main content of the two letters is that they captured all the leaders of the bandit army, but Yan Gaoqing repeatedly obstructed the country's plans, excused the villain, and tried to frame them. people.Yan Gaoqing, the villain who harmed the country and the people, please the emperor make a clear decision!Zhang Tongyou probably understood Li Longji's discernment and judgment very well, and Li Longji was also very upbeat, and believed Wang Chengye's words.Yan Gaoqing raised troops for eight days, but the defense was not sufficient. Shi Siming and Cai Xide led the troops to the city of Raoyang. He wrote a letter to Taiyuan asking for help.

Yan Gaoqing encouraged the soldiers to command day and night, but there was a shortage of food. Six days later, Changshan fell.At the same time, Wang Chengye's envoy also arrived in Chang'an. Li Longji received him cordially and was overjoyed. He worshiped Wang Chengye as Yubayashi General, and hundreds of people under his command were awarded ranks.Yan Gaoqing, Yuan Luqian and others were sent to Luoyang by the bandits, looking unyielding.Seeing that he dared to do this, An Lushan said angrily: "You are Fan Yang's registered permanent residence, I made you a judge in the court, and within a few years you became a prefect, how did you betray me?" Yan Gaoqing yelled, "You are a shepherd boy in Yingzhou, the emperor promoted you to be the envoy of the Three Ways, and you became like this in a few years. How can the emperor feel sorry for you? Why did you betray me? I have been a courtier for generations. , the salary was bestowed by the Tang Dynasty, I will thank you for your help, but when will you turn against me?" An Lushan was furious.Left and right were stunned by the scene.Yan Gaoqing laughed loudly, "Xiaojiegou, why didn't you kill me?" An Lushan said violently, "Tie him to Tianjin Bridge and cut him to pieces!" Yan Gaoqing scolded Tianjin Bridge endlessly. A bandit grabbed his mouth, pried it open, pulled out his tongue, and cut it off with a knife, "Can you still curse?" Bright red blood flowed from Yan Gaoqing's mouth, and Yan Gaoqing continued to curse with blood in his mouth, but only vaguely Unclear, scolded until death. Just to the north in Shanxi, Hebei and other places, the bandits were burning, killing, looting, and not far away, Yuan Luqian's hands and feet were cut off by the bandits.The thieves happily admired the "human pig" they made, and He Qiannian's younger brother was also admiring the result, showing a satisfied smile. Yuan Luqian opened his eyes, and vaguely saw the thief laughing there, biting a mouthful of blood, and sprayed it on his face.The faces of the people watching were pale with shock, and the bandit soldiers were furious, and chopped Yuan Luqian into meat, and everyone who saw him wept.The deeds of Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian shocked every conscientious person.Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty once wrote a poem praising: the heaven and the earth have righteousness, and the high wind will last forever. In the Yan family, more than 30 people under the command of the bandit army were all killed.Shi Siming, Li Lijie, and Cai Xide took Changshan and regained the initiative. Hebei Ye, Guangping, Julu, Zhao, Shanggu, Boling, Wen'an, Wei, Xindu and other counties became the territory of the bandit army again.Wherever the thieves went, it was a hell on earth. If they could survive, they had to thank the heavens for their blessings. If they couldn't survive, they could only accept their fate. In the city of Chang'an twenty years ago, a group of soldiers were about to be punished for violating military discipline. In the middle of the ranks, everyone had sad faces, and there was only one person. Instead of worrying about being punished, he showed a look of spirit, chatting and laughing happily with the sad face next to him.Many people noticed his difference, but only noticed.There is only one official, seeing this man's majesty and heroism, he sighs in his heart.Fortunately, the officialdom at that time was relatively corrupt. He spent money to find someone to save this soldier who was not afraid of death.The rescued person and the rescuer became friends, and then went about their own business. The person who was rescued was named Guo Ziyi, who was a soldier at the time; the person who rescued him was named Li Taibai, who was a Hanlin scholar at the time. (Contained in "New Tang Book") It is said that Li Bai knew people very well. He once advised Zhang Jie (the son of Zhang Shuo) out of his nerves, "You must not rely on the 'mountain'!" As for the mountain, Zhang Jie still knew about it, because An Lushan was very popular with Li Longji. Therefore, although most people in the court rely on Yang Guozhong, there are still many people who rely on Anlu Mountain. At that time, people had the saying of "relying on the mountain" and "relying on Yang". Li Taibai didn't rely on anyone, because he was convinced of the truth of relying on mountains and mountains, but later, things changed.
