Chapter 213 This is the end of a generation of Tang kings
"Raise the flag?"
Yang Guoxiao was delighted when he heard this.
He really didn't expect that the Yang family would have the opportunity to establish their own country so soon.
"Well, once the King of Tang dies, the princes will surely rise up all over the Tang Dynasty, each enclosing the territory, and small battles will continue. There may not be many big battles. So we still have time to recuperate."
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then Yang Guozhong said again.
Over the years, there has been an undercurrent in the Tang Dynasty. He must not be the only one who has such thoughts, especially those Jiedu envoys who hold large armies.
At the same time, all the soldiers and horses also knew in their hearts,
This is not the best time to expand your territory.
Only when the territory has strong troops and sufficient supplies will it gradually expand outward.
"But we can't be careless. We still need to recruit more troops and buy talented people to control the six states and five counties in Jiannan, especially Luzhou in our Jiannan!"
After a pause, Yang Guozhong came to the desk.
Luzhou is extremely important to Jiannan. Defending Luzhou is equivalent to defending most of Jiannan.
"Don't worry, brother. Just a few days ago, all branches of the Tianyin Sect in various places have been withdrawn. At least they can bring back tens of millions of taels of silver. There should be no problem in recruiting another hundred thousand ordinary soldiers."
Yang Guoxiao nodded.
Soon he will personally lead people to garrison Luzhou.
With the Tianyin Sect and the Jiannan Iron Cavalry, it will not be easy for An Lushan to attack Luzhou.
"Well, besides An Lushan, there is one more person we need to be careful about!"
Having said this, Yang Guozhong's voice deepened.
"Is there anyone else who needs to be careful? Who? Gao Xianzhi? Or Guo Ziyi or Li Guangbi?"
Yang Guoxiao raised his eyebrows.
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, apart from An Lushan, these three men commanded the most troops, especially Gao Xianzhi! The combat power of the Anxi Army was not inferior to the Jiannan Army at all.
As for the other Jiedu envoys, they are far from qualified to threaten Jiannan County.
"None of that!"
"That is?"
"The mysterious Lord of Yibo Tower! As expected... Once the Emperor dies, the Lord of Yibo Tower will surely surface slowly, because there is no need to hide anymore."
Yang Guozhong tapped the table with his fingers.
"The Lord of Yibo Tower? I really forgot about this person, but brother, Yibo Tower has now retired..."
Hearing this answer, Yang Guoxiao nodded with deep feeling.
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, who is he most afraid of?
He is definitely the owner of this mysterious Yibo Tower.
Moreover, if it weren't for Yibo Tower, the situation in Datang would not have become like this in a short period of time.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before Yibo Tower returns to the world. By then, wherever the masters of Yibo Tower appear, that will be the hiding place of the Lord of Yibo Tower. Therefore, you should send a few more Yamas to keep an eye on them.
."
"Yes, brother!"
.........
The night is getting darker,
People all over the Tang Dynasty have gone to sleep, but the city of Chang'an is in panic.
The common people and merchants hid in their homes and shivered, so frightened that they couldn't even breathe. Occasionally, there were loud shouts of death outside, which made them want to find a cellar and crawl in for refuge.
in the evening,
An Lushan's more than 200,000 troops surrounded Chang'an City. Following An Lushan's order,
The army began to attack the city in four directions.
Although there were 50,000 imperial guards in Chang'an, due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the four gates of Chang'an City were breached within an hour.
At this time, An Lushan's army had taken control of the entire palace.
The Jinluan Hall in the center of the palace has been surrounded by a large army. There is a river of blood in the hall, and the corpses of ministers are lying everywhere.
On the dragon throne, Li Longji, Prince Li Heng, Gao Lishi, Yang Yuhuan and others retreated into a group, guarding the last royal dignity.
Look at Anlu Mountain again,
He was already standing in the center of the hall with the ghost-faced counselor and a group of generals.
"An Lushan, you thief, I treat you well, why do you treat me like this!"
Looking at the imposing An Lushan, a trace of despair flashed across Li Longji's face.
After receiving the petition from An Lushan, I thought about taking people to leave Chang'an temporarily, but unfortunately it was too late.
An Lushan had already controlled the outskirts of Chang'an. It would have been fine if the bad commander was here, but he secretly sent the bad commander to Tibet to work. The base camp of the bad guy was in Yangzhou.
As a last resort, he returned to the palace with the royal descendants.
Recalling my previous scenes with An Lushan,
Li Longji regretted nothing but regret. If he had known that An Lushan had such ambitions, he should not have appointed him as the Jiedu Envoy of the Three Places.
"Why to you? Because you listened to the slander and favored the witch, and did not care about the lives of other officials."
An Lushan smiled coldly.
The moment he captured the Tongguan garrison, he knew that Heshuo's army was in a fight to the death with the emperor.
"You...you...are nothing to that Yang Guozhong."
When Yang Guozhong was mentioned, Li Longji became angry again.
There are various signs that Yang Guozhong has long been aware of An Lushan's intentions, but he didn't report it and even his family slipped out of Chang'an City first. How could he not be angry?
once Upon a time,
These two people were his right-hand men, his two most trusted ministers, and in the end it was these two people who got him into this situation.
"Hahahaha, Li Longji, it's too late to say anything now. If you want to blame, blame yourself! I should also have a share of An Lushan in this world, and it cannot be exclusive to your Li family."
bass!
An Lushan took advantage of the situation and pulled out his saber.
He didn't want to talk nonsense with Li Longji anymore. After dealing with it, Li Longji had other things to do.
"You...you...are bold. We, the Li clan, have many descendants. Even if you succeed today, our Li clan will seek revenge on you in the future. You are still not orthodox!"
A cold light flashed across Li Longji's eyes, and Li Longji couldn't help but take two steps back, while holding Yang Yuhuan's hand tightly.
"Li family? Don't worry! Soon I will personally send them to meet you one by one under Jiuquan. As for orthodoxy? Whoever has the national jade seal in his hand will be orthodox. Besides, your Li family's empire is not that of Sui Yang Emperor."
What you got in your hands? How dare you mention orthodoxy!"
Whoosh!
As soon as An Lushan finished speaking, he slashed at him with his sword.
He really hasn't worried about the children of the Li family.
Who else is in the royal family?
They are all a bunch of trash, the prince? He will soon go to hell with Li Longji, and the five kings of the Li family? They are existences that can't even get on the stage.
Will he be afraid?
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Seeing An Lushan take action, the generals following An Lushan also drew their sabers.
Phew!
ah!
Li Longji had no bodyguards around him, Gao Lishi and the prince were weak, and coupled with Yang Yuhuan who could only sing and dance, they were no match for this group of people.
Three times five divided by two,
Several people slowly fell into a pool of blood before they could curse a few more times.
Especially the emperor Li Longji, at the moment he fell, his finger was still pointing at Anlu Mountain. His unwillingness and aggrievedness were rare in the world.
This is how a generation of Tang kings came to an end.
The only consolation may be that he died together with his beloved concubine.
