Although he was prepared in his heart, Li Kuo was still shocked when Dong Zhongfu revealed the rebel's plan and the plan.
According to Dong Zhongfu, the rebels did not intend to expand south of the Huai River, but would take down Tongguan first. This is not difficult to understand. After all, Chang'an is the dragon vein of the country. If the rebels conquered Chang'an, they would be against the Tang Dynasty's court.
Self-confidence is a huge blow. However, Dong Zhongfu also emphasized that the rebels would not send all their main forces to besiege Tongguan, but would restrain the Tang army in Guanzhong and borrow troops from the Uighurs to put pressure on the Tang army.
If his words are true, the Tang Dynasty will face a life-and-death test!
A few days ago, news came that Yan Gaoqing and his son, who were righteous in Changshan, were attacked by rebel general Shi Siming. The seventeen counties that originally responded to surrendered after Shi Siming returned to the court, except for Yan Gao of Changshan County.
Qing and his son are still struggling to support, and almost all the lost land in Hebei Road has been taken back.
In Duji Province, major cities such as Luoyang, Dengfeng, Xingyang, and Gongxian were all captured by rebels. As for Changshui and Yiyang, cities such as Gyeonggi Province, although they are still under the hands of the court, they only need Anlushan
If you are willing, you can advance west almost at any time to level these broken cities.
In addition to the 80,000 elite troops in Shi Siming's hands, An Lushan had 120,000 troops near Luoyang. He had enough capital to embezzle more cities to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty court.
Li Kuo is not worried about Dong Zhongfu lying. After all, people like Dong Zhongfu who value their lives more than anything else will not take risks and cheat. However, it is up to be discussed whether the rebels will reveal their plans to Dong Zhongfu.
It's right.
"Qilang, are you still planning your next plan?" Zhou Wujue took two roast chickens into the study and handed them to Li Kuo a roast chicken. "A man, sometimes let go.
We just won a big victory, and it's time to take a good rest."
After Zhou Wujue said that, he chewed the roast chicken in his hand without hesitation and started chewing it with a delicious taste.
"The old saying goes, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. It is not a solution for you to be unable to get along with yourself. After all, this battle cannot be completed in a short while."
Zhou Wunu tried to calm his tone as much as possible so that both parties had a rational attitude. But judging from some of the things Li Kuo has done these days, it was a bit too extreme.
"I don't want to take a break, but the momentum of the rebels is now in full swing. I'm really afraid that the court will make a fool of itself and let An Lushan get the advantage."
Li Kuo was not in the mood to eat, so he put the roast chicken on the tray and said, "I heard that the city of Chang'an has not been peaceful recently. All the gods used An Lushan's rebellion to suppress dissidents, and they were very busy.
O."
Zhou Wujue pulled off a piece of chicken skin and sneered in anger: "You are so careless. Didn't you say that the gods in Chang'an City are very busy. We are stinky fish and rotten shrimps.
Don't work hard. After all, even if An Lushan really conquered Chang'an, the gods should be anxious and unlucky. What's the matter with us? Just this Tangzhou City, I'm afraid I can't get into the eyes of An Lushan.
.”
Li Kuo smiled and said, "What? Are you talking angry again? Although our family is no longer in Chang'an, many relatives of brothers from Tongwu Camp still settled in the capital. Besides, we live in Chang'an.
Have you really had no emotions in these years?"
Zhou Wujue pulled off a piece of chicken leg meat hard and said: "The gods have a good life, and the roast chicken with rotten shrimps and rotten shrimps must be eaten. Since they are not used to living a life of eating only roast chicken, they have to keep them safe.
They are asking for trouble in life! Unlike me, who have no ambitions and have a bit of roast chicken and drinks to satisfy themselves!”
Seeing his friend say such an angry words, Li Kuo didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Let's take Xingyang as an example. My Zhou family has been a prominent family in Xingyang since the Jin Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, the country was prosperous and unrest. Even now Xingyang has been conquered by rebels. Are they still alive? You don't need to
I worry about these gods that they have their own rules of survival, even if they change their masters, they will still be able to live a happy and carefree life.
Li Kuo laughed angrily and said, "Do you think I am anxious for those gods? I am just afraid that when Chang'an is broken, the rebels will vent their anger and massacre the city, and then burn, kill and loot, and the land of Qinchuan in the eight hundred miles will become the Shura Palace. As for
Gods, what does it have to do with me if he can’t live a free life?"
"You are so righteous, you are beginning to worry about the country and the people. But I have to remind you that even if the rebels do not attack Chang'an, it is not as flawless as you think. You think the wider construction of Zhuque Street means that it is
The country is prosperous and the people are safe? Do you think the construction of the city is more neat and means that the door is not closed at night? There are still smelly wine and meat in the rich door, and there are still rotten bones on the roadside that are frozen to death. The glass world in your mind is just a
Just a phantom!"
Zhou Wujue was angry as he spoke, and sneered: "I almost forgot that your grandfather was the Zuo Prime Minister of our Tang Dynasty, and his ancestors were the eldest son of Taizong. How could he have such a status and identity?
Is it comparable to our illegitimate son? Even if your grandfather was stripped of his title back then, you are probably proud of the blood flowing from the royal family? What do you say? Don't worry about me, isn't it?
Is it? If not, why did you willingly push Yanji to Anxi? If not, why did you forget all the promises that the three of us brothers had made a vow to join the son?”
After all, they are not the ignorant boys they used to think about. They are inevitably misunderstood after more things. Over the years, they have experienced countless hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine, all of which are supported by shoulder to shoulder. Now, there are suddenly few of the three of them.
It’s no wonder Zhou Wuzui was unhappy with one person.
"You are so unhappy that you use me to vent your anger? Do you think Yanji is willing to leave? That is the imperial edict, that is the order of His Majesty the Emperor. Could you hope that I will become the second in An Lushan?"
Li Kuo's anger that had been accumulated over the past few days was ignited in an instant, and he said angrily: "Can I be a rich man in your heart who only cares about the royal family and the court? Do you think I am a selfish and poor person? If so
How did you come to me at that time and how did you become sworn brothers with me? Did you, Master Zhou, be blind and fall in love with me, a playboy?"
"Do you know it yourself? No need to say more!" Zhou Wuzui turned his head away and stopped talking.
Of course Li Kuo is not a playboy, and of course he is not a selfish ghost. Zhou Wunun knows that. In fact, except for the identity of a royal family who is useless, Li Kuo has nothing to do with the nobles of the aristocrats. It is such a person who has no relationship with him.
Only when someone who received a slight favor from the imperial court and said something that favored the imperial court would make Zhou Wuzui so angry.
Zhou Wuzui was not worth it for Li Kuo to arrive, but he couldn't see it himself!
Li Kuo and Zhou Wuzui are close friends. They both know very well about their tempers and personalities, but it is precisely because of this that some viscera and cannot be reconciled.
After accumulating for a long time, these vignettings will become moldy, and if handled improperly, there will even be a risk of deterioration.
Silence, silence is not the solution to the problem, but it is the best delaying agent for both parties to have fever.
The two of them were just consuming everything, from afternoon to twilight, from twilight to late night.
"I'm sorry for Yanki."
In the end, Li Kuo spoke first.
"Maybe I should be tougher at that time and find an excuse to refuse the Central Envoy," Li Kuo said in pain with one hand on his forehead.
"Qilang, you don't have to say much, I understand." Zhou Wuzui handed the roast chicken that had been chewed half cold and turned cold to Li Kuo and said, "In fact, the three of us have different life experiences and situations, and we can finally get there.
It's really not easy to be together. Needless to say, Yan Ji, a typical rich man. At first, I was unhappy when I asked me to worship him, but in the end, why did I stumble and stumble down together?
Brother, what is a brother? Didn’t brother just use it to make a "scam"? (Note 1) Although that guy occasionally makes a little stinky, overall he is getting more and more men. I feel a little uncomfortable after leaving for a while
Yes, eat roast chicken, look, we were so upset that we lost a roast chicken in vain, it was such a trick!”
Li Kuo's eyes were slightly rosy and said, "Who said it wasn't that? At that time, Yan Ji was chasing me like a follower. When I wanted to enter the Imperial College, he followed me. I wanted to join the army and he entered without saying a word.
He suddenly stopped coming to the front of me and I was really not used to it.”
Zhou Wujue said: "So, it's all that bastard An Lushan. If he hadn't had anything to start a rebellion, the three of us brothers might have been right now in Laizhou to visit the sea together in the ten-year agreement. Damn it, that's it
For our promise, we can’t let that guy An Lushan have a good life!”
Li Kuo shrugged disinterestedly and said, "Yes, I have recorded this account for An Huer. Even for that agreement, we have to sell some strength to quell the rebellion, right?"
"Come on, the gods are worried about these things, why are you anxious?" Zhou Wujue spread his hands and sneered again. After that, he still patted Li Kuo's arm and signaled him to eat roast chicken quickly.
"What's that? It's only ten years. At worst, I'll take another ten years and think it's a trick." Li Kuo chewed along the stamp on the roast chicken without hesitation. Brother, just bring it.
Is it a trick?
Note 1: This pit means disgusting and troublesome in our case. In fact, only people with close relationships will say that it is a compliment. My best friend often says to me, "Xiao Wu, you cheated me again!" Haha!
ps: I wrote this paragraph because I suddenly became literary and remembered that some time in high school, my friends were hurting each other, but I really missed it when I suddenly parted. Well, I can't say it anymore, I'll spoil it.
