I don’t know Xiangji Temple, but it is only a few miles away from Yunfeng.
There are no people walking through the ancient trees, and there is no clock in the deep mountains.
The sound of the spring swallows the rocks, and the sun is cold and green.
The music of the empty pond at dusk, calming down the poisonous dragon.
At this time, Wang Wei, who was forced by An Lushan to serve as Prince Zhongyun, once wrote such an article "Passing to Xiangji Temple".
At this time, Wang Wei was sitting in his mansion, looking up at the sky.
Wang Wei sighed, blaming the name of his poem for being too popular. He also slept too hard on the day Anlu Mountain captured Chang'an.
He was trapped in the hands of the puppet Yan court, and now he is an official of the puppet Yan.
Wang Wei wanted to die, but the current puppet emperor An Qingxu was even more cruel than his father An Lushan.
Wang Wei was worried that his death would harm his family, so he could only claim to be ill and not go to court.
Wang Wei looked at the sky above his head and felt even more sad. His current situation was like a caged bird.
Wang Wei couldn't help but groaned:
Tens of thousands of households are sad and the wild smoke is growing. When will hundreds of officials turn to the sky again?
In the empty palace with fallen locust trees in autumn, orchestral music is played on the head of the Ningbi Pond.
Today's Chang'an is a place where thousands of households are in ruins, and the once prosperous cities and towns have been abandoned.
After An Lushan entered Chang'an, he hunted down Li Tang's clan and killed many ministers who resisted.
Those who survived like Wang Wei all surrendered to the puppet Yan court.
But when he heard that Master Wang was already in front of Xiangji Temple, Wang Wei felt even more conflicted.
Psychologically, I naturally hope that the imperial army will regain Chang'an, but if I become an official and pretend to be a Yan, I will definitely be liquidated after regaining Chang'an.
It is different from people like Wang Wei who were forced to devote themselves to the puppet Yan court.
Now in the prime minister's official residence next to the Zhuque Bridge, Chen Xilie, the prime minister of the puppet Yan court, was feeling anxious.
He had knocked over several pieces of valuable porcelain, but still could not vent the fear in his heart.
Chen Xilie once served as prime minister during the emperor's period. Later, he failed in the political dispute with Yang Guozhong and was deposed from the position of prime minister by the emperor.
After Anlushan captured Chang'an, Chen Xilie took the ministers who stayed in Chang'an and surrendered to Anlushan.
After surrendering to Anlushan, Chen Xilie was awarded the prime minister of the puppet Yan court.
Now that the Tang Dynasty troops are attacking Xiangji Temple, the people who are most worried are officials like Chen Xilie who have become officials and pretend to be emperors.
It can be said that Wang Wei was forced to lose his integrity, and Chen Xilie simply surrendered to the enemy.
If the Tang Dynasty really regained the two capitals, Chen Xilie would definitely be liquidated by the Tang Dynasty court.
Chen Xilie will definitely be written down as a traitor in the future annals of Biao Biao history.
Chen Xilie's whole body trembled when he thought of this.
Moreover, Chen Xilie was Li Linfu's party member. He followed Li Linfu and concocted three major crimes to suppress the then crown prince, who is also the current emperor.
Chen Xilie thought about what would happen to him if Puppet Yan was defeated.
No, the Yan court will not lose!
Chen Xilie let out a painful cry. As the prime minister of Puppet Yan, Chen Xilie knew that Puppet Yan had reached a precarious stage.
After An Lushan captured the two capitals, Chen Xilie's first memorial was to ask An Lushan to continue to pursue the emperor and occupy Guanzhong.
But at that time, the puppet Yan soldiers had just arrived in the prosperous Chang'an and Luoyang from the bitter cold in the north. An Lushan was also obsessed with the prosperity of the two capitals and missed the best opportunity to pursue.
By the time the emperor avoided disaster in Shuzhong and took control of Dongchuan and Xichuan, the puppet Yan court was no longer able to attack Shuzhong.
However, the then crown prince Li Heng actually went to Lingwu, once again recruited troops from the northwest, and began to attack the puppet Yan.
Chen Xilie wrote again, requesting the puppet Yan court to contact Tubo and Nanzhao to lend their troops to attack Li Tang's army.
But An Lushan was already in a coma at that time, and soon he encountered An Qingxu usurping the throne.
An Qingxu disliked civil servants even more than his father An Lushan, so Chen Xilie's petition was once again ignored.
Now Chen Xilie knew that although the battle of Qingqu was a great victory, the puppet Yan was even weaker internally.
The reason is also very simple. After occupying the two capitals, the soldiers looted a large amount of property, and now they are thinking of returning to their hometown.
An Qingxu usurped his father's position, and now his father An Lushan's close comrade-in-arms Shi Siming is entrenched in Taiyuan Prefecture and controls the power of the three towns in Hedong.
The main force of the Puppet Yan army is soldiers from the three towns in Hedong, and the military food supply also needs to be transported from the three towns in Hedong.
If Shi Siming betrays him, An Qingxu's army in the two capitals will become rootless.
Therefore, even An Qingxu was hesitating whether to abandon the two capitals and return to Hedong.
As long as he defends Hedong and the Tang Dynasty recognizes An Lushan's original status as King of Hedong, An Qingxu can also lose the imperial title.
After the last battle of Qingqu, General An Shouzhong became increasingly arrogant.
When the puppet Yan court went to court, An Shouzhong actually walked into the Daming Palace with a sword and armor.
Now that An Shouzhong's prestige in the army was rising, An Qingxu could only give in to him and give him the right to go to court with a sword.
Chen Xilie knew that although the puppet Yan court won the battle of Qingqu, the puppet Yan's soldiers were getting fewer and fewer.
On the contrary, although Datang was defeated in Qingqu, it was able to quickly recruit so many soldiers.
Taxes from the Jianghuai River are still being sent to Fengxiang Mansion in a steady stream, and the troops of King Qin from various prefectures, counties and vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty are also constantly entering the customs.
Chen Xilie was desperate for the future of Puppet Yan.
An Lushan and his son Yi Di are indeed incapable of planning!
Chen Xilie quickly called his son and asked him to pack the valuables at home and leave Chang'an immediately if the battle on the front line was lost.
Not only Chen Xilie was thinking about Run, but even the puppet emperor An Qingxu was also thinking about Run.
Now Chang'an, the largest city in the empire, has once again fallen into turmoil.
The four members of the military observation group are also paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield.
Li Daoyuan sighed and said: "The confrontation has been going on for so long, are we going to fight or not?"
Zhou Shi also said: "I thought this task would be easy to do, but I didn't expect that there has been no movement until now."
Here, Yu Xiaoxiao was already practicing the sword dance out of boredom, while Zhang Duanyang held a telescope and said:
"Come on, come on, I think the rebels can't hold on any longer."
Zhang Duanyang's judgment was correct. The confrontation for many days had already caused instability within the puppet Yan army.
The confrontation between two armies is like a duel between two masters. The one who strikes first is at a disadvantage.
Those who make the move later can clearly see the details of the move that was made first and come up with countermeasures in time.
Those who move first will have to temporarily change their formations and then respond to those who move later. This places high demands on the army's adaptability and discipline.
However, long-term confrontation is a very draining military effort and morale.
In contrast, the rebels have even less fighting spirit.
Zhang Duanyang said: "Military morale is a very mysterious thing. An army with strong morale can defeat a hundred with one, but an army with low morale will fail even if it has superior strength and superior weapons and equipment."
Zhou Shi asked: "Teacher, what determines morale?"
Zhang Duanyang said: "When a teacher has a reputation and fights injustice with justice, a righteous teacher will naturally have high morale."
"When An Lushan raised his army, he used the banner of Qing Jun. At that time, the world had reached the point of intolerance for Li Longji's extravagant and lustful rule and the extravagant life of the nobles in Chang'an."
"That's why An Lushan was able to gain such high morale that he captured the two capitals in one fell swoop."
"But it's different now. The rebels burned, killed, and looted in Chang'an, and their troops have long been unknown. The puppet Yan can only use property to reward the soldiers to continue fighting."
"On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty's reconquest of the two capitals has been widely expected by everyone in the Tang Dynasty. Guo Ziyi is also a good general with clear rewards and punishments. With his righteousness in hand and the support of the whole country, the Tang Dynasty has the upper hand."
Zhang Duanyang said: "Under the stalemate, the Puppet Yan side must be unable to hold on first and launch an attack."
What Zhang Duanyang said was correct. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the front line on the Puppet Yan side started to move first.
An Shouxin was sitting on the pagoda of Xiangji Temple, overlooking the entire battlefield.
In this encounter that involved an open battle, An Shouxin certainly understood the principle of striking first.
But the morale of the army was unstable and it really couldn't hold on any longer.
There were unusual movements in several military camps last night, and soldiers began to flee for several days in a row.
An Shouxin is an experienced veteran, and he naturally knows that if he doesn't fight, the morale of the army will be lost.
The armies of the Tang Dynasty and the Pseudo-Yan Dynasty faced off along the Fengshui River in front of Xiangji Temple. Now the Fengshui River has gradually become shallower, and the soldiers can pass through without building a bridge.
An Shouxin ordered to advance to the camp first and tentatively attack the Tang army's camp.
There are nearly 100,000 troops on both sides. When the army starts to move, it will really be a disaster.
Yu Xiaoxiao quickly turned on the video recording function, and she watched excitedly as the Puppet Yan army began to cross the river.
The war drums sounded, and the Puppet Yan army rushed up the Feng River like a tide and crashed into the Tang army's camp.
While the Tang army organized soldiers to defend in front of the camp, they beat military drums to ask soldiers from other camps to line up to fight.
The former commander-in-chief of the Tang army was Li Siye. Hearing the sound of drums in the puppet Yan military camp, he immediately put on his armor and rushed out of the military camp.
Pugu Huai'en, who was commanding the cavalry of the Tang Army, rushed into the military camp and said to Li Siye: "General! The puppet Yan army is attacking, Huai'en asks for a fight!"
Li Siye looked at the battlefield and said: "The enemy cavalry has not moved, so don't move your cavalry either!"
"You go to give orders to the Uighurs, you have to wait until the Pseudo-Yan cavalry appears to attack!"
Pugu Huai'en went down with Li Siye's military orders.
Li Siye said to the left and right: "Bring me the Mo Dao!"
The puppet Yan army attacked rashly, and the Tang army was caught off guard.
Li Guiren, the general on the puppet Yan side, took the lead in charging towards the Tang army's camp with weapons in hand. The puppet Yan army immediately captured the Tang army's camp by the river.
At this moment, Prince Yehu, the Uighur stationed upriver, was watching the Tang army camp being overwhelmed by the puppet Yan army bit by bit.
King Guangping found Prince Ye Hu and said breathlessly: "Prince, please send troops quickly!"
On the battlefield, Prince Ye Hu showed extraordinary strategic qualities. He said calmly: "It's not time for me to send troops yet."
"The First Cause of All Realms"
King Guangping said anxiously: "How long will it take? The enemy is about to overwhelm the front army!"
Prince Ye Hu did not reply. At this time, Pugu Huai'en also brought the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty and the orders of former army general Li Siye.
Looking at the front army that was about to be overwhelmed, King Guangping said anxiously: "The front army is about to collapse, why don't we send troops?"
Prince Ye Hu pointed at Guo Ziyi's central army and said: "Commander Guo hasn't moved yet. Let's wait until the enemy cavalry comes out before we move!"
