Sword in the Qin [Comprehensive + Sword III]

At the end of Tianbao's 14th year, after being besieged for two months, Luoyang, the eastern capital, which had endured the siege of the Spike Army day and night for three months, was finally broken.

Fortunately, under the insistence of Li Chengen and others, the people in Luoyang City fled to Tongguan ahead of schedule.Although An Lushan took Luoyang City, it was an empty city.

And after the city of Luoyang was broken, the Spike Army and the Tang Army fought in the streets for more than half a month, with ruins everywhere, and Luoyang, the former prosperous eastern capital, looked a bit desolate.

On the first day of the first month of the 15th year of Tianbao, An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang.The name of the country was established as Dayan, and it was changed to Yuan Shengwu.

Anlu Mountain raised troops earlier than in history, but captured Luoyang half a month later than the historical records brought back by Ye Mingyue and the others.In order to ascend the throne and become emperor on the first day of the first lunar month, the enthronement ceremony was also rushed.

In addition, Li Chengen and others strictly ordered the people to retreat to the south before the city of Luoyang was broken, Luoyang was just an empty city.Even though the Spike Army looked so powerful, An Lushan's enthronement ceremony was really shabby and ridiculous.

It's just that he grabbed some of his staff who had originally served him and some grassroots when he captured Taiyuan and Luoyang, and hastily canonized a hundred officials, thinking that he had won the country.

Tang Jun Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, including Li Chengen from Tiance Mansion and disciples from various factions retreated to Tongguan to reorganize their armaments.Occupying the natural danger of Tongguan, the Tang army proudly reorganized its armaments and fought again.

Not long after the Tang army withdrew into Tongguan, the eunuch supervisors of Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi were mysteriously killed on their way back to the emperor.On the first day of the first lunar month, the day An Lushan ascended the throne, the great eunuch Yu Chaoen also died in his mansion.

At the same time, a rumor spread quietly among the refugees who escaped from Luoyang and was introduced to the Tang army.

The reason why An Lushan rebelled was because An Lushan wanted to take back Concubine Yang.It's a pity that Yang Guozhong wanted to get rid of An Lushan quickly in order to keep the position of Concubine Yang for the sake of prosperity and wealth.An Lushan hated Yang Guozhong so much.

An Lushan was more than ten years older than Concubine Yang, but he was Concubine Yang's adoptive son. He freely entered and left the palace, and even gave him a bath in Huaqing Pool. There were many rumors about this matter.Nowadays, these rumors are spread so clearly that people have no choice but to believe them.

Furthermore, An Lushan rebelled with troops, and what he fought was the Qing emperor's call to kill the traitor.Combined with these rumors, both the officials and the people who suffered from the war pointed the responsibility for the war to Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei.

The news that An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor spread to Chang'an the next day, and an admonisher killed the Daming Palace, asking to punish the evil concubine.

Regardless of the turmoil outside, at this moment, Jianning Wang Li Tan is sitting in his study, looking at a book of Tang history in a daze.History of the Tang Dynasty——

Yes, now his grandfather is only in power, but Li Tan got a history book that records the entire Tang dynasty.

King Jianning didn't know who sent this book, but after he got it, King Jianning understood one thing: the death of Yu Chaoen and the eunuchs who were ordered to supervise the army was not It was not An Lushan who guessed that Yang Guozhong did it.

Perhaps the person who gave him the book was the one who assassinated Yu Chaoen and other eunuchs.Because he knew that the eunuchs like Yu Chaoen would frame Zhongliang, he would assassinate them all one step ahead.

Li Tan locked himself in the study for three days, read through a book of Tang history three times, and finally made a decision.

Li Tan, the king of Jianning, was not a person who would just sit and wait to die. If not for this, there would be no old incidents in Nanzhao.Now, since he knows the future, how can he do nothing?

In mid-January of the 15th year of Tianbao, the emperor ordered Ge Shuhan to take over as the coach of Tongguan and guard Tongguan.Tongguan has more than 20 defenders, but the coach Shu Han is ill.Except for Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, a small number of generals who run the army strictly, and Tiance Mansion has strict discipline, the majority of the defenders have loose discipline, showing a state of disunity.

Li Chengen, Yan Wangqing and others all knew that if this continued, Tongguan would not be far away.However, they have no military power, and there are many factions in the defenders.Not to mention Yang Guozhong's shenanigans, the military discipline is lax, but he is very bossy.There are also traitors inserted by An Lushan to sow discord, and they have both ways.

If it hadn't been for An Lushan who had just proclaimed himself emperor and was busy distributing all the officials, instead of rushing to attack Tongguan, Tongguan would be in chaos immediately.

In February of the 15th year of Tianbao, the people in Chang'an were full of anger, and a mutiny broke out in the palace. Chen Xuanli, the leader of the imperial guards, asked the Yang brothers and sisters to be punished to express the anger of the people.Gao Lishi also persuaded the emperor to kill Concubine Yang Gui and Yang Guozhong to reassure the army.

The emperor was reluctant at the beginning, but Gao Lishi told the folk rumors.The emperor had no choice but to order that Gao Lishi personally spilled Yang Guifei to death in Huaqing Pool.

On February 15th, the [-]th year of Tianbao, Jianning King Li Tan led the Jianning Tiewei to personally inspect Yang Guozhong.He killed countless members of the Yang family, took the opportunity to force the palace, and supported his father and prince Li Heng to ascend the throne, and the emperor abdicated.

It was the first year of Zhide when the crown prince ascended the throne and changed Yuan Zhide.On the second day after the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Tan, the king of Jianning, received the imperial decree of the new emperor and led the Jianning Tiewei to Tongguan to take over as the commander-in-chief.

Li Chengen couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the news in Tongguan.But Yan Wangqing didn't feel anything. Their Cangyun army was loyal to Datang, not any emperor.Ever since the Supreme Emperor charged Commander Xue, who died in battle, with the crime of being unfavorable to the war, Cang Yun has no affection for the Supreme Emperor.

And since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been very few emperors who have been enthroned normally.Even Emperor Taizong launched the Xuanwumen coup, forcing Gaozu to abdicate.Not to mention that Wu Zetian abolished his son several times, and in the end he was forced to abdicate by the Supreme Emperor and Princess Taiping.

Now that the Crown Prince and King Jianning are forcing the Supreme Emperor to abdicate, the soldiers will not feel uneasy.Instead, I hope that the new emperor can lead them to defeat the Anshi rebels.It is really that the Supreme Emperor favored and trusted Concubine Yang and reused Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others these years, which chilled the hearts of soldiers and common people.

Jianning Tiewei left Chang'an, and the new emperor Zhang Liangdi fell ill.The new emperor recruited an imperial physician to diagnose and treat the queen, but no one has been able to diagnose what disease the queen is suffering from.In this eventful autumn, the mysterious death of Li Fuguo and other eunuchs seems a little insignificant.

On the way from Chang'an to Tongguan, more than ten people galloped on horseback, but the leaders were Tang Wule and Ye Mingyue.Since the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Wule did not join the battlefield, but was ordered by the Young Clan Master to lead the Ni Zhantang to attack those eunuchs and treacherous officials who tried to find fault with the frontline soldiers.

Speaking of Jianning King Li Tan, because of the old affairs in Nanzhao, the disciples of various factions don't like it.But now that the Tang Dynasty is experiencing troubled times, the succession of Taizong's descendants to the throne is the most beneficial to the stability of the government.Among the dwarfs, Li Tan, king of Jianning, is more ambitious and capable than others.

Therefore, after a secret discussion among several heads who knew the history of the Tang Dynasty, they decided to send the history of Tang Dynasty to King Jianning.If King Jianning had the ability, they would not need to intervene in the court, they only need to support the Tang army in fighting against the rebels.

Tang Wule led the elites of Ni Zhan Tang to hide in Chang'an City. Watching King Jianning support Li Heng to ascend the throne, wash the court with blood, and quietly deal with Zhang Liangdi and Li Fuguo, he finally rushed to Tongguan with peace of mind.

Only when the rear is stable can the soldiers in the front be free to fight against the rebels.

Ge Shuhan was already plagued by illness, and now it would be best to have King Jianning take over.

As soon as King Jianning arrived at Tongguan, he rectified his armaments by imperial decree.Quickly arrested Huobao Guiren and other generals who colluded with Anlu Mountain to kill the chickens and monkeys, and established the king's prestige.The Cangyun establishment was restored, because Cangyun and Tiance Mansion suffered serious casualties, so Li Chengen and Yan Wangqing selected strong soldiers from the Shence Army to supplement the establishment.

The Shence Army is not all unusable. The reason why it has a bad reputation is more because it is controlled by Yang Guozhong and has many incompetent generals.Now Li Chengen and Yan Wangqing are not accepting the Shence Army in its entirety, but selecting available people from among them, which is naturally the best.

King Jianning asked Li Chengen and Yan Wangqing to draw soldiers from them, using a strategy of killing two birds with one stone.The Shence Army almost became Yang Guozhong's private army before. Although Yang Guozhong's party was killed by King Jianning seven or eight times, they were all partisans in Chang'an.

The Shence Army did not mention that some of them became prisoners of Langya before and joined Langya.There is still Yang Guozhong's remnant party in Tongguan's Shence Army.Now that Li Chengen and Yan Wangqing have drawn outstanding soldiers from them, even if the Shence Army refuses to accept King Jianning, there is nothing they can do.

Secondly, although the Supreme Emperor abdicated, Chen Xuanli and others, including Chen Xuanli who forced the Supreme Emperor to kill the Yang brothers and sisters, were all loyal royalists.Since King Jianning knew that the emperor would listen to the slander and kill him in the future, how could he not make some preparations to win people's hearts and keep himself safe?

Although Li Fuguo was dead, Queen Zhang was also dying.But since his father has soft ears, who knows if there will be another Empress Chen, Empress Song, Zhang Fuguo, Zheng Fuguo?

Although Li Chengen is loyal to the Supreme Emperor, he will not do anything to endanger the Tang Dynasty.For example, the restoration of the Supreme Emperor may lead to instability in the court, so even if Li Chengen is loyal to the Supreme Emperor, he will not help the Supreme Emperor to regain the throne.

As for Yan Wangqing, she also pursues the peace of the Tang Dynasty, and revenge for Xue Zhi and the dead Xuanjia Army.Xuanjia Cangyun's enemy is An Lushan, with the same goal.As long as he helps Xuanjiajun clear Xue Zhi's name and restore Xuanjiajun's innocence, he will not be afraid that Yan Wangqing will not remember this love.

King Jianning is a smart man, he knows very well that it doesn't matter whether he can recover these people before ascending to the throne.As long as these people don't follow others and become the pillars of the dynasty, the chances of him being framed in the future will be reduced.

As for other things, King Jianning has Jianning Tiewei, and he will recover a few generals who are disappointed with the Supreme Emperor and the court, so there is no need to worry about major events.

According to the Tang history records brought back by Tang Wule and Ye Mingfei, because the Supreme Emperor was anxious to quickly quell the chaos, he forced Ge Shuhan to give up the natural danger of Tongguan and take the initiative to attack, which led to the defeat of the Tang army in Tongguan.

Now that King Jianning is the commander in chief, he will naturally not attack recklessly.However, in order not to let Chang'an feel that they were passive and idle, Li Tan ordered Li Chengen, Yan Wangqing and other generals to take turns leading small teams to harass and provoke the Spike Army outside the pass.

In late April, Prince An Qingxu of Dayan led the Spike Army to Tongguan and launched an attack on Tongguan.The Tang army stood firm at Tongguan, and the two sides fought fiercely for several months, injuring each other.

However, as Guo Ziyi and other generals of the Tang army led the generals drawn from other feudal towns to Tongguan, the Tang army began to gain an advantage.An Lushan, who had already proclaimed himself emperor, finally couldn't sit still in Luoyang, and ordered the elder Linghushang to wait outside Tongguan.

At the end of July, a huge boulder suddenly fell from the Tongguan pass, and the boulder shattered on the ground, revealing a crystal stone.The strangest thing is that there is a line of words engraved on the crystal stone: An Qingxu killed his father and seized the throne!

Although An Qingxu immediately ordered the Spike Army to destroy the crystal stone, rumors about it still spread.Especially the soldiers of the Tang army and the bottom of the Langya, almost everyone knows it.

Because the Spike Army's offensive was suspended, everyone was finally able to rest and catch their breath.The most rare thing is that Ye Lange transported the damaged weapons on the battlefield back to the hidden sword for recasting, and even brought fine wine along the way.

It is also a blessing to meet again on the battlefield, and to be able to steal the daytime leisure and have a drink or two with close friends.

"King Jianning is really good at strategizing, and the superiors are suspicious. I'm afraid that An Lushan and his son will make trouble first." Tang Wuyou said, taking a sip of his wine.

"I think Feng Junshi is a good strategy!" Yang Suge chuckled.

"Xu Ge is right!" Ye Mingyue said, "If it wasn't for Feng Junjun's proposal to give the history of Tang Dynasty to King Jianning, there would be no miraculous effect today. If it is said to play these conspiracies and tricks, the royal people are better at it."

It turned out that as the war started, other factions also knew about the existence of Tang history.It's just that I don't know the exact origin of Tang history.Maybe Yan Wangqing, Xiao Baiyan, and even Guo Yan and others have already guessed the truth, but they pretended not to know.

After all, the disappearance of Tang Wule and Ye Mingyue was widely circulated in Jianghu.In addition, the origin of Ximen Chuuxue is still a mystery to outsiders.

Although Zhu Jianqiu is powerful, he would not come up with such an idea.Only Feng Yebei, Cang Yun's military commander who had been extremely disappointed in the Supreme Emperor, would come up with such an idea.

"Anyway, I think Army Master Feng came up with a good idea. It would be easier for the royal family to clean up the temple and kill traitors." Ye Lange took a sip of wine and said comfortably, "I'll wait for the Jianghu people You only need to kill the enemy with all your heart, and you don't have to play tricks with them."
