In a lifetime, how many choices are made under tremendous pressure?
Xuzhou is in danger and is very likely to threaten the safety of Luoyang. As An Lushan's adopted son, he has a good understanding of the adoptive father's temper. An Lushan is suspicious by nature, perhaps because of his personal experience, he is most afraid of
The general who holds military power is naturally no exception to the so-called adopted son.
If you don’t send troops to rescue you when you are surrounded by Xuzhou, it is very likely that An Lushan will have a knot in his heart, which will be really bad.
He also heard of the rebellion between Yan Gaoqing and Yan Zhenqing. Yan Gaoqing and Yan Zhenqing were both the fifth generation grandsons of Yan Shigu, and their ancestors were also well-known. His father Yan Yuansun was appointed as the governor of Haozhou and was once a subordinate of An Lushan. So that's it
The two brothers should be An Lushan's direct descendants.
Unexpectedly, two people were like this, who actually raised an army in Changshan when An Lushan led his army south to Guanzhong and stabbed the army hard!
Hehe, the fire in the backyard is never easy to deal with!
"What's going on in Hebei Road now?" Ahlun still had the last trace of doubt in his heart. It would allow An Lushan to stop his troops and send general Shi Siming back to Hebei Road to quell the rebellion. This fire should be burning strong enough
.
"Reporting to the general, Yan Gaoqing and his son Yan Jiming raised the anti-flag in Changshan. At that time, General Li Qincou was stationed in Changshan County. On the 22nd day and night, the servant sent an envoy to join the army, the county magistrate and others to bring wine and food to "comfort",
General Li did not suspect that he was killed by that guy when he was drunk. After he designed to kill General Li Qincou, the guy was not satisfied with his intention to capture all the generals of Youzhou soldiers alive. Gao Miao, General He Qiannian noticed the abnormality.
Just as he was about to run away at Xingye, he was captured alive by Yan's father and son, and imprisoned in a dungeon. Recently, Yan Gaoqing had sent an envoy to send General Li's head and Gao and He to Chang'an to present it to the foolish monarch."
The messenger said in tears, and he felt like he was losing his parents. Even Arun, who had always been as cold as ice, was moved by it.
Unexpectedly, a merely weak scholar had such courage. He resolutely killed An Shuai's arm when the whole country was drunk, restraining An Shuai's advancement. If he abandoned his identity and position, Arun couldn't help but want to do so for him.
Pick up a thumbs up.
When Alan was heard, he was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was slightly happy. Li Qincuo was also an adopted son of An Shuai, and his courage and courage were highly appreciated by An Shuai. But he
He just had a bad temper, and he could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and he had never dealt with him. This time he was killed by his own fault. Not only did he not hold on to him, he felt very pleased!
Perhaps immersed in the joy of Li Qincui being killed, Alan was so excited that he didn't think about so many details about how a messenger could know about it.
Sometimes, once a person reaches a dead end, he will walk to the end without hesitation, and will not look back even if he hits the south wall.
"General Shi Siming has led his army into Hebei Road, but since there are seventeen counties in the entire Hebei Road responding to Yan's thieves, General Shi cannot defeat the enemy for the time being."
The messenger said slowly and looked up at Allen from time to time.
Hearing this, Ahn was no longer suspicious and waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know everything! I will pass on my general order and immediately order troops at the campus of the city. I will send troops to Xuzhou to rescue the siege!
”
Life is sometimes like climbing a mountain, and you will never know where you will eventually go until the last moment.
The mountain paths crisscrossing the fields are so complex, with the mountains and mists together. Looking back at the four sides, the green grass and the trees are covered with trees. The vague and misty breath makes people breathe and enjoy it.
There are more temptations, more responsibilities, more choices
Li Kuoyao looked at the gourd-shaped valley and sighed quietly.
It was not easy for him to go out of this path. Although it was not considered disrespectful to the city captured by the rebels, it was at least stained. If someone instigated him, it would be difficult to guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor would not be suspicious.
.
People’s hearts are the most indescribable things. Some things you obviously haven’t done, but others will think that you have done them. Too much explanation will make the other party more suspicious. It’s better to just let it go.
Saying a thousand words and saying ten thousand words, there was only one reason that prompted Li Kuo to finally decide to seize the city - Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing retreated to Tongguan.
The battle in Luoyang City completely destroyed the confidence of the Tang court. Sixty thousand Luoyang mercenaries and 50,000 border troops were defeated by An Lushan in one fell swoop. The fragility of the Tang army system was infinitely amplified. The most important thing is
Now the rebels are in full swing, and the troops are heading straight to Tongguan.
In order to provoke the Tang court to the greatest extent, An Lushan sent Cui Qianyou to lead 20,000 cavalry to Tongguan as a vanguard.
This move seems careless but is extremely cruel.
It was almost impossible for Cui Qianyou to capture Tongguan, but their existence stuck the throat leading to Chang'an, and the army entering Beijing to pay tribute to the king could only sigh.
In other words, as long as Cui Qianyou's troops stay outside Tongguan, even if they don't shoot a single arrow, they can have a good strategic effect. With such a tiger and wolf army guarding outside Tongguan, Gao Feng and the other two dare not.
Open the city gate to welcome the army of the king.
If the troops serving kings in various places want to enter Tongguan, they must defeat Cui Qianyou's army. However, the troops serving kings in various places are not subordinate to each other, so it is difficult to have a consistent order, let alone the orders on the battlefield are united and the Hu soldiers are attacked together.
Furthermore, the army that serves the king is mostly the regiment training troops in various places, and its combat power is very average. Although Cui Qianyou's army is not An Lushan's ace main force, it is also a veteran who has experienced a lot of battle formations.
As the saying goes, one veteran is the best for a new recruit. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable.
If each of them took the orders and the Tang generals were defeated by Cui Qianyou in one fell swoop, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to leave the king?
This is why Li Kuo did not choose to enter Tongguan. It was not that he dared not, but that he could not.
Sometimes things change faster than your plan. This is even more so in wartime.
Everyone knows the important position of Tongguan. Once Tongguan is broken, the gates of Chang'an are opened, and the Tang Dynasty court will be in danger. After Feng Changqing gathered the remaining troops and recruited tens of thousands of flying cavalry to station troops in Shaanxi, he made the final decision.
The layout of the defense line. It's okay, but His Majesty the Emperor believed Yang Guozhong's slander and sent the eunuch Bian Lingcheng to Tongguan as a military supervisor to supervise the battle.
Supervisor! Haha, a eunuch went to supervisor? To put it bluntly, it was His Majesty the Emperor who was suspicious of Gao and Feng and could not let go! An Lushan's rebellion completely disappointed him to the border general, so Gao and Feng and Feng and Feng and Feng and
His Majesty, a loyal general, dared not believe it easily.
It would be fine if it was normal, but now it is at the critical moment of life and death. If Tongguan is lost, the dynasty will be overturned. At this time, the king will be in a bad mood. How can he fight a beautiful battle?
Needless to say, Bian Lingcheng, Li Kuo had dealt with him when he was in Anxi. This guy seemed gentle and respectful on the surface, but he was a real villain who killed people invisibly.
As the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, his loyalty to the royal family is beyond doubt, but therefore he may also have high restrictions and normal performance for the two of them.
Now, all I can do is try to seize some cities from the rebels and provide some strength to support the counterattack of the imperial royal army. There is Yan Gaoqing in Hebei and Yan Zhenqing in Shandong. Didn’t they all do this?
There are extraordinary methods at extraordinary times. Although doing so is suspected of being independent, since he has made a choice, he will continue to do it without hesitation and ignore others' opinions.
"General Li, when the rebels arrive here, please let me take the lead!" Lin Erlang pointed to the entrance of the valley not far away and clasped his fists. That night, all the women, children, old and young in the village died at the hands of Hu Gou.
A great revenge is irreconcilable. Blood revenge only needs blood to be paid for. He wants to fulfill his promise, a man's promise.
Li Kuo waved his hand and said, "Erlang, don't be anxious, I have my own arrangements. Then you just need to follow the military orders." He did not directly reject Lin Erlang, but gave him hope. He was motivated by these inspirational things.
Li Kuo has always respected the man who serves the country very much. However, it is obviously not enough to devote himself to serving the country. Only by being good at planning and doing things can one go further.
"Yes." Although Lin Erlang was not happy, Li Kuo was so happy that he saved his life and took him in when he was desperate. He really shouldn't say anything more.
"It's going to be dark!" Li Kuo raised his head and looked at the sky gradually getting darker, and sighed quietly.
The winter night comes so early and so long.
Dark clouds are lying on the city, and dark night is approaching.
Snowflakes began to float in the sky again, and the dark sunlight refracted on the spots, sprinkling a mottled glass world.
Are you going to be naive?
After rushing to order more than 3,000 cavalry, Arun left the city impatiently and led his army toward Xuzhou.
From sunrise to dusk, the cavalry kept working without stopping. Xuzhou was not far from Tangzhou, and the straight line was only more than 150 miles. Ahlun planned to travel outside Xuzhou on a starry night and have a rest.
Therefore, even at night, he did not order his soldiers to camp.
Fortunately, this army is all cavalry, and even marching at night is not too difficult. However, the rugged mountain road is not easy to walk. Arun ordered his soldiers to light torches to light them at night. These Hu soldiers are all horseback
He grew up, had excellent riding skills, and had no pressure to control the reins with one hand.
Each man and a torch, the army galloping in the narrow mountain road is like a fire dragon
