Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[Faced with the two routes to raise troops, An Lushan did not hesitate for too long and chose the easy mode:

From raising troops to capturing Luoyang, it only took one month, which was extremely fast.

Fan Yang, the place where Anlu Mountain raised his troops, has another name: Zhuozhou. This can be regarded as a magical place.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, both Zhang Fei and Liu Bei left here to explore the world.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan raised troops from this, and his final death was similar to that of Zhang Fei, violent and merciless.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, this was the end point of the Gaolianghe drag racing track. The emperor in a donkey cart arrived first and saved his life. Later generations even wrote a poem praising:

There was an urgent killing outside Xizhimen, and the armies of Song and Liao were fighting for superiority.

Although Yelu's cavalry was brave, the donkey cart drifted.

Hmm... This is a long way off. In short, An Lushan chose to go directly south to cross the Yellow River, and then go west to capture Luoyang. The road was incredibly smooth.

And An Lushan is already super awesome, while Xuanzong is still hanging up in Quanshui.

When the urgent military information from Hebei Province was sent to Xuanzong's desk, Xuanzong laughed: Those who hate Lushan are lying.

You guys, don’t make these big news just because you are jealous of An Lushan!

Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, Lushan is very difficult.

Look for the reasons from yourself. You haven't been promoted in so many years. Have you seriously tried to please me?

It was not until more and more reports were sent to Chang'an that Xuanzong forced himself to believe the fact: An Lushan had really rebelled!

And the next question that faced Xuanzong was: How to quell the rebellion?

You push me and I push you, the ministers of the DPRK, but no one dares to stand up.

At this time, Feng Changqing returned to the central government to report on his duties. Zhongliang Jiedushi, who was a refugee and started his career in the army, took the initiative to ask for war.

Xuanzong naturally did not want it, so he ordered Feng Changqing to lead the Central Army to quell the rebellion.

After leading the troops out of Tongguan, Feng Changqing quickly realized something was wrong.

At this time, there were two central armies: Weiqi and Beiya Forbidden Army.

Jiuzhen Chang'an has no danger of war and has a noble status. It has always been a good place for nobles to get gold.

After Xuanzong changed the government soldiers to recruited soldiers, the fierce soldiers in the Central Forbidden Army chose to respond to the recruitment and go to the frontiers to fight against the enemy. They were not affected by the arrogance of the young master soldiers, so the two central armies were quickly destroyed.

The one with the clearest records is the Weiqi, which has been reduced from the full number of 120,000 to 80,000, and basically has its own business.

The rich soldiers went out to do business, while the poor soldiers went out to perform daggers, tug-of-war, and carry iron to earn rewards.

Even if such a force is led by Feng Changqing, the outcome can be imagined. They will lose consecutive battles and Luoyang will soon fall.

The fall of the Eastern Capital shocked the government and the public. At this time, Xuanzong also understood that the critical moment was coming and quickly issued an edict:

Edict 1: The fall of Luoyang was the responsibility of Feng Changqing. He was spared his life and demoted to Baiyi, and was sent to Gao Xianzhi in Shaanzhou to take orders.

Edict 2: I want to go to the front line of Shaanzhou to supervise the battle! 】

〖Zhao Kuangyin: Who is the Donkey Cart Emperor? How does the Song Dynasty refer to the Northern Song Dynasty?

Zhuge Liang: Jingkang surrendered in disgrace, the Song Emperor went south, and the Emperor changed his surname. Do you not know? 〗

Li Shimin was speechless when he looked at the two lines of words on the light screen. Zhuge Wuhou was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would be happy.

But he didn't intend to get involved. Although it was Song Chengtang, Li Shimin really didn't want to admit it, at least...

This Xuanzong can take the initiative to conquer personally, so he has some guts!

Compared with the Song Dynasty emperor who slandered Feng Chan and had to be forced by his ministers to go to the front line, he was still a little stronger.

Moreover, there was previously the Emperor of Brothel and Emperor Wanyan Zhao, and now there is another Emperor of Donkey Cart.

Li Shimin is not stupid, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't sound like a good title.

Therefore, he felt a little better, but not much, because in his opinion, the best opportunity to destroy the rebels was lost after all.

In this regard, Li Jing coincides with Li Shimin:

The two forbidden armies, if they are full strength, should be 200,000 in number. Faced with the rebels rushing in from Hebei, they will be waiting for work.

If the enemy's edge is defeated, they will surely be in disarray and wait for the Jiedushi from all directions to encircle...

Li Jing shook his head as he spoke, but unfortunately these were just fantasies.

Hou Junji continued: However, even if the rebels attack from a long distance, they can still be called the frontier army of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

And whether this forbidden army... can be called a military force is still a matter of debate.

At this moment, it had nothing to do with Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Hou Junji sighed:

This general Feng Changqing, even if he has thousands of soldiers in his chest, is unable to make this forbidden army a combatable force.

Although he felt that Feng Changqing was wronged, Hou Junji would not say it out loud.

Du Ruhui couldn't understand it now:

Later generations said that An Lushan was like Zhang Fei, which shows that he died at the hands of his followers.

Although the imperial court was defeated, the emperor's army was still there, Tongguan was naturally dangerous, and the military governors from all directions also had elite soldiers. How could we...

Du Ruhui couldn't speak any more, because he immediately remembered two words that later generations casually said.

Even if a dog is tied to the throne, there will be no chaos in the last eight years!

If you are not afraid of rebellion in Hebei, are you afraid that the emperor will issue an edict?

Moreover, later generations also said that An Lushan was already dying due to diabetes, but he still existed in chaos for eight years because the conflicts could not be resolved.

Du Ruhui fell silent and began to carefully recall the contents he had copied previously.

Fang Xuanling asked Li Jing for advice:

According to Medicine Master's opinion, now that Feng Changqing has been defeated, what should we do if we want to put an end to the chaos?

Li Jing twirled his beard and said nothing.

Hou Junji rolled his eyes and closed his mouth tightly.

Li Shimin snorted:

From Luoyang to Tongguan, it stretches from the Wei River Valley to a flat river.

The thieves have many skilled cavalry and the imperial army is rotten. How can we fight against the thieves?

We can only withdraw and defend Tongguan to eliminate the advantage of the cavalry. When reinforcements from Shuofang border on the west side of the Longyou River arrive, we can surround and kill this beast.

In Li Shimin’s opinion, does this still need to be taught? The soldiers and horses in hand are either doing business or performing arts. In this case, make good use of Tongguan and wait.

Although it is a little embarrassing, it is better than being forced to die, which is both embarrassing and life-threatening, right?

…

In the Chengdu government office, Kong Ming was helpless as he threw the note into the light screen.

Small countries have no sovereignty, and weak countries have no diplomacy. Combined with Ji Han's situation in the light curtain, this sentence becomes even more profound.

But fortunately, the situation today is completely different.

Next to him, Liu Bei was already patting Zhang Fei on the shoulder:

Yi De, Yide, you should encourage yourself.

Zhang Fei felt aggrieved and hummed:

I've already given credit to Fan Jiang.

Regarding this matter, Fa Zheng can testify:

During the attack on Hanzhong, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da first almost died from the rice thieves' sword, but General Yide bravely came to his aid.

Liu Bei was very pleased:

Third brother has become a general!

Fazheng added with a smile:

The two of them were swept away by General Yide with his long sword. They lay on the bed for three months before they could get off the ground.

Liu Bei was speechless for a moment, but finally patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, saying nothing.

Xu Shu criticized Xuanzong's two edicts:

The fault of this defeat lies with the Forbidden Army, but does the responsibility for the corruption of the Forbidden Army lie with Feng Changqing?

And sneered:

Those who are timid are not guilty, but those who ask for war for the country are punished. How can it be justified?

It seems that the bravery of the Tang Dynasty lies in the generals and soldiers, not the princes in the court.

For the people in the Chengdu government office, Gao Xianzhi, who just a moment ago was lamenting the bloody battle with the Talas, had someone to succeed him.

This letter from Chang Qing led troops to knock on the door of the country and forced the king to surrender. How powerful is it!

And the next moment, such a heroic and famous general turned into a white body and was involved in the turbulent currents of the Anshi Rebellion, which is sighing.

[Xuanzong had just made a high-profile statement in Chang'an when he received an urgent report from the front:

Gao Xianzhi abandoned Shaanzhou and led his troops to retreat to Tongguan.

This decision was made under Feng Changqing's persuasion, and the comprehensive considerations of the two famous generals were also very reasonable.

First of all, the Tianwu Army led by Gao Xianzhi at this time was also recruited from the Forbidden Army. The level of the Forbidden Army at this time is, to apply a sentence in the history books, all are not armored.

That is to say, Gao Xianzhi didn't even know how to put on armor, and Gao Xianzhi was already tortured by the bad soldiers.

Secondly, although Tongguan was naturally dangerous at this time, there were no troops stationed there. If Gao Xianzhi was unfortunate enough to be defeated by the rebels, the rebels would be able to directly penetrate Tongguan in one wave and march to Chang'an.

Therefore, after Feng Changqing arrived, the two famous generals considered each other and finally decided to retreat to Tongguan and wait for reinforcements from other Jiedu envoys.

The two of them knew the capabilities of the Tang Dynasty's border troops. Even if An Lushan's Zahu men were strong, Longyou and Hexi would have to fight against Tubo for years. Who was worse than the other?

The decision of the two generals, applied to current comments, is:

Militarily, he is blameless, but politically, he can be used as a guide.

On December 1, 755, Gao Xianzhi was ordered to quell the rebellion and recruited troops in Chang'an to leave the customs.

On the 12th of the same month, Gao Xianzhi retreated to Tongguan.

On the 20th of the same month, the eunuch Bian Lingcheng falsely accused Gao Xianzhi of reselling military rations.

On the 21st of the same month, Bian Lingcheng followed Xuanzong's handwriting and sealed Gao Xianzhi as Changqing and beheaded him in Tongguan.

Regarding the conflict between Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi, the old Tang book said that the eunuch wanted to interfere in military affairs, while the new Tang book said that Bian Lingcheng had a private matter to entrust.

But in short, they were all pushed back by Gao Xianzhi, who put state affairs first, and the two had a grudge.

After Xuanzong was betrayed by An Lushan, his mentality changed drastically. His extreme trust in the generals turned into extreme distrust.

The eunuch Bian Lingcheng accurately felt Xuanzong's pulse, and then used the sharp sword of imperial power to kill the famous general loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, in order to calm people's hearts, Xuanzong issued another edict:

If I really want to go on a personal expedition, I will definitely kill the traitor An Lushan with my own hands! 】

Cut off his own arms again, two at a time?

Li Shimin felt like laughing, laughing that Xuanzong had himself to blame for personally destroying Li Tang's country to such an extent.

But I also want to cry loudly, for these loyal ministers and good generals, and for the innocent people of the Tang Dynasty who suffered.

In the end, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have given up on himself. Regardless of Sun Simiao's dissuasion, he filled a glass of grape wine for himself, drank it all and threw the glass to the ground:

Then let me see how this rebel army conquered this great gate in the world!

Let me see how this good son and grandson can lead a military expedition!

There was a sense of gritted teeth between the words.

Now Li Shimin has already tasted it:

If Wang Zhongsi was here, would An Lushan dare to rebel?

Now that Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi are dead, can Tongguan still be said to be impregnable?

Now that his arm has been cut off three times in a row, Li Shimin wants to see how cold the heart of a loyal soldier is:

How did this good son and grandson turn the tide and get himself to Chengdu?

…

Zhang Fei was amazed:

Is An Lushan really not Xuanzong's illegitimate son?
