Tang riddles

Many years later, when Shen Sui recalled the four months from early June to late October in the 21st year of Kaiyuan, he would always laugh.It was an extremely busy experience, and everyone, with a tragic sense of life and death together, devoted themselves to the battle for the first opportunity.The farm with poor conditions was the main center of their battles, and I don't know how many pieces of information were sent from here during those four months.Everyone is busy from early morning to night, working in two shifts, never leaving any free time.Not only people like Shen Sui and Li Jinyue, but also Yang Yuhuan and even Xiao Huang'er joined the helping team. Screening information became a job that everyone needed to undertake.It was also during those four months that the Qianyumen's intelligence capabilities were brought into full play. Shen Sui was extremely grateful that his ancestors had left him such a precious wealth. It was precisely because of the Qianyumen's existence that they seized the opportunity.

On the eighth day of June, the soldier talisman was lost.Five days later, Qianyumen found out the whereabouts of the soldier talisman.Shouwang's men escorted the soldier talisman to Dunqiu, and finally leaked his traces, and was discovered by Qianyumen.Qian Yumen followed secretly all the way, and by the way protected the soldier talisman from being snatched by other forces.

From the discovery of the soldier talisman by Qianyumen to the arrival of the soldier talisman in Youzhou on June [-]th, Qianyumen kept receiving information from various sources. With the efforts of everyone, they quickly locked the other two forces that were tracking the soldier talisman. One is the people sent by Yin Yuyue, the two groups of troops have merged into one, and they have obviously locked on the talisman sender sent by King Shou; Those who could find King Shou simply rushed to Youzhou.In response to these two forces, Qianyumen also dispatched chasing troops to follow and monitor.

But until June [-]th when the Bingfu entered Youzhou, neither of these two forces could catch up.

However, after Bingfu entered Youzhou, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The front-line information transmission in Youzhou was suddenly interrupted. There would have been a letter almost every day, but from June [-]th to June [-]th, there was no news for six days.Baqiao Headquarters fell into unparalleled anxiety. Judging from the news sent back from the Qianyu Gate near Youzhou, it seemed that there was turmoil in Youzhou. Right now, the checkpoints and roads in the whole territory are heavily guarded, and it is difficult to fly. What's going on, I really don't know.

On June [-]th, news finally came out from the territory of Youzhou. Feng Zijian, the helmsman of the Fanyang branch in Youzhou, worked hard to open up a communication channel to deliver the news:

[[-]% of the generals in Youzhou have abnormal deployment of troops, and the whole territory is blocked. It is feared that there has been a mutiny in the upper echelons of the army. 】

It seems that Feng Zijian doesn't seem to understand the internal situation of the army, which is a very ominous omen.

Two days later, a general from Youzhou, whom Li Jinyue was acquainted, finally came back with a message, saying that the current situation in Youzhou was turbulent, and it was impossible to know who belonged to whom, and who was planning to fish in troubled waters and profit from the fisherman.Moreover, the behavior of at least ten generals above the fifth rank and above who have the power to change defenses and transfers is puzzling. Standing ready, as if waiting for an opportunity.

Shen Sui made a decisive decision and sent a letter to Feng Zijian at the front line, asking him to pay close attention to two people in Li Jinyue's direct army - An Lushan and Shi Qian.

Back then An Lushan and Shi Gan were arrested as secondary criminals in the case of Fan Yang Yaxing. Because the toxins in their bodies were controlled, they had to work for the cult. In fact, it was Bai Liuniang who did the work.Afterwards, Shen Sui ordered Ying Niang to detoxify the two of them, and then took them into the main force of the Xue family army that Li Jinyue had collected, and let them start as low-level soldiers.The reason why Shen Sui took these two people in was because she liked An Shi's strategy and courage.In addition, she also intentionally left these two people in Fan Yang's army to serve as a bait, so that when the time came, she could follow the clues, so as not to lose these two people and cause even bigger troubles.She did not let down her vigilance, she always suspected the origins of the two An Shi and suspected that they might have something to do with Yin Yuyue.

According to Li Jinyue, during these years in Youzhou, the two An and Shi have lived peacefully in the army, and performed well in the war against the Xi and Khitan tribes. , and was soon promoted to military generals from the fifth rank and the sixth rank, each with more than 5000 troops, and is eligible to participate in the military meeting of Fanyang Jiedu Mansion, which is equivalent to having the position of a high-level staff officer and holding military Decision-making power.

Li Jinyue still admires these two people quite a lot. It is an indisputable fact that their abilities are indeed there.An Lushan is full of tricks, he is best at taking surprises, and is quite good at planning.Shi Gan is very brave, and even more ruthless than ordinary people. Once on the battlefield, he is like a god of death, making the enemy frightened.Therefore, Li Jinyue did not obstruct the promotion of these two people, but she has been observing them all the time.It was precisely because the origins of these two people were unknown and they had once been enemies to her, Li Jinyue was not sure of their position, so she was always on guard.

Now, the fox's tail was finally exposed, and the two of An and Shi were really Yin Yuyue's secret agents in the Youzhou Army.Now the time has come, Yin Yuyue activated this dark line.This line is probably extraordinary, and it will cause chaos in Youzhou.

Shen Sui's letter asking Feng Zijian to investigate An and Shi was sent on June [-]th, and the reply came on June [-]th.Feng Zijian's handwriting on the letter was trembling, and it was hard to imagine the circumstances under which he wrote this encrypted letter.

[Youzhou is in chaos, the art of controlling Yuanqianhe appeared again, and more than half of the high-ranking generals in Youzhou were controlled and lost their ability to think. 】

Shen Sui secretly thought that it was not good, and hurriedly asked where the emperor's envoys who had rushed eight hundred miles away had gone.Returning to the channel, he has entered the territory of Youzhou, and will soon arrive at Fanyang Jiedu's Mansion to issue an edict to confiscate military power.

Shen Sui thought it was too late, it seemed that a war would be unavoidable.Fortunately, this is also within her estimation, and she has countermeasures.It's just that to achieve the goal now, I'm afraid it will take a detour, and it will take more time and effort.

In July, the Youzhou front line was completely cut off from the Chang'an Baqiao headquarters, and the subordinates of King Shou who brought Li Jinyue's soldier amulet into Youzhou also fell into the sea like a mud cow, and no more news came out.It is not known whose hands Li Jinyue's soldier talisman fell into now.King Zhong's subordinates were the last to leave and arrived at Youzhou at the latest. When King Zhong's subordinates arrived at the outskirts of Youzhou, the whole territory had been sealed off. They could not enter and could only worry outside.

At that time, Chang'an fell into a strange silence. The emperor, who was anxious to take back his military power a few days ago, didn't mention it at all these days. He has been recuperating on Lishan Mountain, without any orders. Order issued.Poor King Shou and King Zhong were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They asked for face saints many times, but they were all rejected.Shen Sui reckoned that perhaps Yin Yuyue had completely controlled the emperor, but now they were unable to go to Lishan to rescue the emperor, so they could only let Yin Yuyue succeed.However, the emperor's judgment ran counter to their purpose, and there was no rush to save the emperor, at least the emperor's life would be in danger only after the next crown prince was completely determined.

Ten days later, King Shou couldn't sit still anymore, so he sent Li Linfu to Youzhou to find out the truth.King Zhong ventured down Lishan Mountain, and took Huangfu Weiming, Wei Jian and a few others to go to Jizhou in person. He wanted to borrow soldiers from Jizhou. If you are prepared, you may be able to turn the tide and make great achievements.Li Mo has a deep friendship with him, and he holds the Jizhou Army, which is second only to Youzhou in strength, and is the most important barrier for Youzhou to go south.So Zhong Wang intends to seize this opportunity.

However, five days later, Li Mo, the governor of Jizhou, suddenly rebelled and detained King Zhong as a hostage, and the situation took a turn for the worse again.As soon as this incident happened, it fully proved that the local forces outside Youzhou had their own ulterior motives. Li Mo was obviously a speculator. He seemed to intend to profit from the affairs of Youzhou. For him, it is obviously the best hostage target.Loyalty to him is equivalent to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Cao Cao.

The officials of the central court in Chang’an have already sensed that something is wrong with the atmosphere on the northern front. In recent days, there have been many officials who have asked to meet the saint, but all of them have been rejected by the emperor. outside the temple.Yang Shuo, the general of the Jinwu Guard, has been guarding outside the hall, not allowing anyone to step in. Anyone who asks the emperor's situation will just say, "Your Majesty's body is not healthy, and you must rest silently. No one will be seen." He didn't dare to force his way, and everyone knew that Yang Shuo was the most loyal general. Since he was so calm, the emperor probably didn't have any accidents.It's just that nothing happened to the emperor, but something happened in the north!Everyone is waiting to report to the emperor in order to get a clear order so that they can do things.What does it mean to be so indifferent?

It was mid-July, the midsummer was extremely hot, everyone was anxious, and thousands of eyes were fixed on the situation in Youzhou.The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, without the emperor's clear will, the ministers can only be anxious and dare not act without authorization.Some officials who sensed that the situation was not right had already asked the whole family to pack up their burdens and moved away first, waiting to run away at any time.

At the end of July, the sage finally made the first decree, ordering Jinwuwei General Wang Zhongsi to take the edict and lead [-] Jinwuwei soldiers to march to Youzhou in a hurry to find out the implementation of the previously issued edict.

At this time, Yu Chiyan, who had never heard of it, finally got news.After more than half a month of hard searching, Feng Zijian finally found the missing Yu Chiyan.Li Jinyue's right-hand man was seriously injured, and there was only a ten-member Gongyue Army squad beside him, who had been hiding in the deep mountains.According to their reports, as early as the first ten days of June, the entire Youzhou had been plunged into a strange and terrifying atmosphere. The generals lost their minds one after another and were completely at the mercy of others. As the acting governor and vanguard general of Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the two of them actually had the edict appointed by the emperor and all the military symbols deployed by Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, including Li Jinyue's direct subordinates. Take all the military power in Youzhou.From this point of view, the person who sent the soldier talisman to King Shou failed, and the soldier talisman fell into the hands of An and Shi.After taking Youzhou, they began the cruel action of beheading dissidents, and they will not let go of any hidden dangers that are out of control.Naturally, this included Li Jinyue's [-] Gongyue soldiers who stayed in Youzhou.

Feeling that something was wrong, Yu Chiyan tried to lead the Gongyue Army to escape overnight, but he was discovered. Fighting all the way, most of the Gongyue Army was killed and injured. In the end, Yu Chiyan and other 11 people were in another team to draw the enemy's attention. Escaping from the desperate situation, the Gongyue Army was almost wiped out except for them!

This incident was undoubtedly a major blow to Li Jinyue.Those sisters, for her, were her life-and-death companions, and she had exhausted her painstaking efforts to organize and build a personal army. They failed to die on the battlefield against foreign enemies, but died at the hands of internal rebels, which made her Unacceptable for a while.

However, more serious news came again.At the beginning of August, An Lushan and Shi Qian officially sent troops to attack Yizhou on the southwest side of Youzhou. Injured, and advancing to the southwest at an unparalleled speed, approaching Luoyang and Chang'an.The rebel army and the Jinwu Guard led by Wang Zhongsi fought hand-to-hand in Mozhou. Wang Zhongsi was defeated and defeated. He returned to Jizhou and joined King Zhong.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, An Lushan and Shi Gan, who had been renamed Shi Siming, declared war on any force that dared to resist them under the banner of "the side of the Qing emperor", and a catastrophe broke out suddenly.Since then, this turmoil, which lasted for more than two months, has been recorded in history books, and it is called "Anshi Rebellion" in history.

And the history books will forever retain the name of the hero who quelled this turmoil with lightning speed—the princess of the Anbei Jin Kingdom and Li Jinyue, the governor of Hanhai.The only empress who holds a heavy military power in her hands, won the position of empress dowager with great achievements in suppressing chaos, and successfully ascended to the top of Dabao.

The author has something to say: The Anshi Rebellion in history lasted more than seven years from December 755 to February 12.But with me it was not only 763 years ahead of schedule, but it only lasted two months.
