Raise your troops to hunt the Moon Cave and turn your strategy towards it.
Leaning on the sword to ascend the Yan Ran, the beacons on the edge are lined with rugged mountains.
——Excerpt from "Fa White Horse" by Li Bai
…
Speaking of this, Li Fuguo showed disdain in his eyes and said: "Yang Guozhong became prime minister due to nepotism. He only relied on favoring power and being domineering. The key is that he is a brainless idiot.
He was worried that An Lushan would come to worship the prime minister and threaten his status, so he desperately dragged another prime minister, Wei Jiansu, to fan the flames and spread the news that An Lushan was about to rebel in Li Longji's ears.
If he hadn't competed with An Lushan for favor and pressed forward step by step, giving An Lushan an excuse to raise troops and accelerating the pace of An Lushan's rebellion, An Lushan might have died of poison before he could raise troops.
In those days, Yang Guozhong begged An Lushan day and night to retaliate. Now that he heard that An Lushan had neglected the imperial envoy to deal with Pei Shiyan, he immediately ordered Jing Zhaoyin to send troops to surround An Lushan's residence in the capital and arrest An Lushan's retainers.
Li Chao and others were thrown into Yushitai Prison and interrogated overnight.
However, the Yushitai tried many times and found no charges of rebellion in An Lushan. Yang Guozhong was furious and ordered the Yushitai to secretly execute Li Chao and others.
As a result, the conflict between the imperial court and An Lushan further intensified, and there was no longer any mutual trust between the two parties.
At that time, An Lushan's eldest son An Qingzong was engaged to Princess Rongyi of the clan and lived in Chang'an. When he saw Yang Guozhong's murderous intention, he was frightened and quickly sent someone to report An Lushan secretly.
An Lushan was originally waiting and watching, hoping that he would wait until Xuanzong died before revolting, but Yang Guozhong said every day that he would rebel, which finally completely angered An Lushan.
When An Lushan learned that his retainer had been killed and his eldest son was being watched as a hostage, An Lushan was shocked and angry, so he decided to strike first, riding on Chang'an and eating Yang Guozhong alive.
Therefore, An Lushan took the opportunity to forge a secret edict from the emperor, claiming that he had a secret edict to enter the court to attack Yang Guozhong.
On the ninth day of the eleventh month of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan gathered all the troops under his command, and together with Luo, Xi, Khitan, and Shiwei, a total of 150,000 people, swore an oath in the south of Jicheng (Fan Yang's administrative office) to attack Yang Guozhong.
name, and officially raised troops in Fan Yang.
An Lushan rode an iron palanquin (an iron sedan to protect against arrows), with elite troops on foot. The smoke and dust were thousands of miles away, and the noise shook the ground. In the prefectures and counties he passed, the wind collapsed. Some opened the door to welcome him, or abandoned the city and fled, no one dared to refuse...
In this way, 150,000 Fanyang cavalry swept across the land of Yanzhao and advanced into the Central Plains.
When the battle reports from various counties and counties in Hebei flew into the capital like snowflakes, everyone in the civil and military circles in the court was worried and frightened. Only Yang Guozhong was proud and overjoyed.
Yang Guozhong deceived Li Longji and said: "Today, the rebels are alone in Lushan'er, and none of the soldiers want to do it. In less than ten days, the first achievement will be announced."
…
At the end, Li Fuguo gloated and commented: "Things in this world are weird and strange, and some things cannot stand to be talked about. Yang Guozhong looked forward to An Lushan's rebellion every day, and in the end, he got what he wanted and his family was wiped out.
…”
Bai Fu pondered for a moment and said in confusion: "It stands to reason that An Lushan himself is unwilling to hand over military power and stayed in Chang'an to serve as general and prime minister. After he returns to Fan Yang, he will not pose a direct threat to Yang Guozhong. Why does Yang Guozhong still refuse to comply?
Where is Rao?"
Li Fuguo said bitterly: "A woman's heart is the most poisonous. Speaking of which, the root cause lies in the bitch Yang Guozhong's third concubine, Yin Fenglan."
Bai Fu was stunned and said, "What does this have to do with Yin Fenglan?"
Li Fu Guodao said: "When Yin Fenglan was young, she abandoned her husband and son to become An Lushan's mistress for the sake of glory and wealth.
Later, An Lushan got tired of playing with Yin Fenglan and abandoned her. This woman has always held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge.
Later, Yin Fenglan's fortune changed, and she became Yang Guozhong's third concubine through the help of Xian Yu Zhongtong, an old family friend.
From then on, Yin and An were entangled in resentment and fought to the death.
After all, once the little people at the bottom get close to the center of power, they will make trouble."
Having said this, Li Fuguo did not forget to laugh at himself, making fun of himself and Bai Fu.
Li Fuguo said: "Yang Guozhong is a brainless fool who doesn't know about Yin Fenglan and An Lushan. He will frame Yin Fenglan no matter how much he instigates them."
Bai Fu said: "Does An Lushan know that Yin Fenglan is causing trouble behind the scenes? If he knows, why doesn't he send someone to kill Yin Fenglan?"
Li Fuguo said: "An Lushan gave me several assassination orders, but the assassination was not successful in the end. Every time before the assassination, someone leaked the news.
So, I set up a trap to see who was helping Yin Fenglan to tip off the news.
The test results surprised me. It turned out that Shi Siming had been secretly protecting Yin Fenglan.
So I followed the clues and found a lot of clues.
According to these clues, if what I expected is correct, Yin Fenglan also had an affair with An Lushan’s good brother Shi Siming, and they have always been inseparable..."
Li Fuguo's imagination was so wild that even Bai Fu doubted the authenticity of Li Fuguo's deduction.
Li Fuguo saw that Bai Fu was disapproving and said: "I will give a few examples to support my point of view.
When Shi Siming came to Beijing for the first time, he only knew low-level officers such as Pinglu Military. Unexpectedly, Li Longji unexpectedly met with him.
When Li Longji asked Shi Siming his age, Shi Siming lamented that he had accomplished nothing even though he was over forty.
What Shi Siming didn't expect was that Xuanzong suddenly walked up to him, patted his shoulder solemnly, and said: 'You are behind, please encourage me!'
There is no doubt that this is a promise made by Li Longji to Shi Siming.
After this meeting, Li Longji promoted Shi Siming to general and prefect of Peiping.
In the eleventh year of Tianbao (AD 752), Li Longji promoted Shi Siming to Pinglu Military Envoy.
Shi Siming's promotion was astonishingly fast. In addition to An Lushan's recommendation, it was largely due to Yin Fenglan's instigation of Yang Guozhong, who was the official minister, to operate behind the scenes.
…
When Yin Fenglan founded the Caiyi Society, there was not enough manpower, so Shi Siming had been providing money and effort behind the scenes. The earliest batch of warriors in the Caiyi Society were all barbarian masters.
…
There is another incident that can also prove the secret collusion between Shi Siming and Yin Fenglan.
At that time, Xuanzong fell in love with Li Xuexuan from Emei, designated her as the number one scholar in martial arts, and ordered Gao Lishi to go to Huben Army from time to time to take care of Li Xuexuan's diet and daily life.
When he heard that the emperor's grandson Li Chu was madly pursuing Li Xuexuan, Xuanzong was furious and transferred Li Xuexuan to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang to hide in the snow. When Li Longji visited the eastern capital Luoyang the next year, he would wait for an opportunity to be included in the palace as his concubine.
Yin Fenglan was worried that Li Xuexuan would seize favor and the Yang family would lose its reputation, so she secretly asked Shi Siming for help.
The matter was so important that Shi Siming personally took action and led a group of Hu assassins to assassinate Li Xuexuan in the Shaohua Mountain Canyon. Fortunately, Li Xuexuan was very strong in martial arts and was able to break out of the siege and survive.
After learning about the assassination, Li Longji was furious, angered Yang Yuhuan, and drove Yang Yuhuan out of the Daming Palace.
If it weren't for Gao Lishi's mediation, Yang Yuhuan might have been thrown into the cold palace at that time..."
Hearing this, the image of the masked killer leader with sparse beard and hair, slumped shoulders, and sideways eyes appeared in Bai Fu's eyes. If Shi Siming was covered with a mask, wouldn't it be exactly what this consumption ghost would look like?!
When it comes to Li Xuexuan, Bai Fu finally changes his color!
…
The general issued a white horse and gave a signal to cross the Yellow River.
The flutes and drums are playing in the mountains of Sichuan, and the waves are surging in the clear sky.
There are vibrating tiles in Wu'an, but there are no cold songs in Yishui.
The iron cavalry is like a snow-capped mountain, and the drinking water is like a dry Hutuo.
Raise your troops to hunt the Moon Cave and turn your strategy towards it.
Leaning on the sword to ascend the Yan Ran, the beacons on the edge are lined with rugged mountains.
Thousands of miles away from the depression, there are many fields cultivated.
Once the desert is cleared, the tigers will be defeated and the gold will be destroyed.
