Li Shimin's indifferent evaluation of Xuanzong's handiwork made the Zhenguan officials heave a sigh of relief. {What? You don’t know yet|Read COM, read the chapters without mistakes|Hurry up and Google them}

As long as you don't get angry, you can listen.

And to be honest, Zhenguan has only been around for four years now. If His Majesty is furious, there will be something wrong...

Bah, bah, bah, I can’t think about this.

Wei Zheng first followed up with a compliment:

Qilu from Yanzhao is chivalrous and loyal.

Later, I still felt that what Xuanzong did was extremely shameless:

The country relies on loyalty and good deeds, but traitors and sycophants frame it unjustly.

If the superiors are not careful and the subordinates are careless, the country's plans are based on the thoughts of the righteous.

Hou Junji sighed:

Why is His Majesty Xuanzong so anxious?

You can put An Sishun in prison, or send him to Tongguan to scold the rebel leader An Lushan.

Killing the three commanders in front of the battle will not hurt those who are close and loyal, please those who are cunning and traitorous, and chill the hearts of those who dare to fight?

Li Shimin chuckled, lay back a little on the couch, and said leisurely:

Xuanzong once refuted the world's words and vouched for Anlu Mountain.

Now is the time when shame and anger are verging on anger.

As he spoke, he took the tea on the table and took a sip, then slowly exhaled a breath and said:

Ge Shuhan will be defeated, and Chang'an will be lost because of this.

The actions of a righteous man are no match for those of a foolish master.

Changsun Wuji was a little hard to accept. Although he had known for a long time that Xuanzong eventually fled to Chengdu, he still didn't believe it:

This brother Shu Han can hold on to him for half a year...

Li Jing interrupted: The stalemate only lasted for half a year.

The Emperor of Tang Dynasty agreed:

We will win if we stick to Tongguan.

But it's a pity that my good son and grandson risked the trap to kill Zhongliang. What he wants is a quick victory.

It is not for Ge Shuhan to chat safely with An Lushan in Tongguan Pass.

[When the time comes, we will see each other, and we will draw pictures one by one.

When An Lushan led the army to break through Luoyang City, the first people he encountered were three tough men.

Li Jin, who stayed behind in the eastern capital, was not afraid of hundreds of thousands of rebels and chose to spend all his wealth to recruit young men to defend the city.

However, the rebel army was powerful and the young men they had recruited quickly collapsed. Li Han and some people with lofty ideals resisted until the last moment of the fall of Luoyang City and died for their country.

Lu Yi, the censor Zhongcheng, stayed in the capital of Taitung, facing the rebels, and chose to send his wife away. He wore official uniform and sat on the censor's stage, martyring his country.

Jiang Qing, an interview judge in Dongdu, was not afraid of the rebels and died together with Lu Yi, martyring his country.

An Lushan also understood that his power was stretched thin, so he ordered his confidant Duan Ziguang to take the heads of Li Yin, Lu Yi, and Jiang Qing to Hebei to show the public, in order to deter the people.

However, this had the opposite effect. When the three heads were delivered to Pingyuan County, Yan Zhenqing, the governor of Pingyuan County, killed Duan Ziguang and licked the heads of the three loyal ministers with his own mouth to tidy up his appearance. He was unable to collect the remains of the loyal ministers in Hebei. , they could only use grass to make their bodies, bury the three loyal martyrs, and set up spiritual tablets to commemorate them.

Then Yan Zhenqing raised the banner of rebellion. For a time, Hebei rebels rushed to join him, and Yan Zhenqing was elected as the leader of the rebel alliance. 】

Everyone in the Chengdu government office was moved.

Liu Bei whispered: In the Tang Dynasty, there was no shortage of ministers who would die for the country.

These three ministers who died for the country reminded him of the loyalty of Ji Han that he learned about in the light curtain.

Zhang Yi, who died in battle, and Zhuge Zhan, his father and son, and Zhang Zun, who were loyal in battle.

What’s more, he also has his great grandson who would rather die in battle and lose his country than give up his country.

How lucky was the Han Dynasty after this?

Zhang Fei pouted:

There is no shortage, but it is a pity that this loyal minister in the prosperous Tang Dynasty has no way to survive.

Xuanzong killed loyal ministers, and the rebels also killed loyal ministers. The Tang Dynasty was prosperous for thousands of miles, but there was no place for loyal ministers.

Everyone suddenly felt sad.

It is difficult to be a loyal minister, but it is even harder to be a loyal minister of Xuanzong!

Fazheng had no intention of teasing at this time and sighed for this loyal man of the prosperous Tang Dynasty:

Just like Wang Zhongsi, who had military exploits and soldiers, and even had a sworn relationship with Xuanzong, but he was still killed with just one word.

Kong Ming silently wrote the first two sentences on the paper and read them.

Simple words, catchy.

Kong Ming was a little curious for a moment, wondering if he would have a chance to see the original text of these two sentences.

[Just when three loyal ministers in Luoyang, the eastern capital, died for their country, someone in Hebei also took the lead in taking action.

The tough-minded Yan Zhenqing had an equally tough brother, Yan Gaoqing, who was serving as the prefect of Changshan at this time.

Yan Zhenqing was originally a censor in the central government, but because he couldn't stand that Yang Guozhong had read a book, he was thrown into the jurisdiction of Anlu Mountain by Yang Guozhong with the intention of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

After arriving here, Yan Zhenqing contacted his brother and confirmed An Lushan's rebellion.

But it's useless, because if you tell Xuanzong at this time that Anlushan is going to rebel, Xuanzong will tie you up and send you to Anlushan to deal with him to show his trust.

Yan Zhenqing was not discouraged. After arriving in Pingyuan County, he went boating on the lake, drank wine and played guessing games to make An Lushan numb and careless, so as not to be really chopped with a knife.

On the one hand, he quietly accumulated food and grass, repaired the city, made loyal friends, recruited powerful people, and prepared for Anlushan's rebellion.

After An Lushan rebelled, Li Qincuo and Gao Miao were left in Changshan with 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the rear.

Yan Gaoqing, the governor of Changshan, wanted to meet Li Qincuo, got him drunk and killed him. Then he invited Gao Miao in Li Qincuo's name and captured him alive. At this time, He Qianqian, An Lushan's confidant, came back from Luoyang to deliver a message. He was also captured alive by Yan Gaoqing.

At this time, Changshan County had been recovered, and Yan Gaoqing decided to send his son Yan Quanming to escort Gao Miao and He Qianqian, and take Li Qincuo's head to Chang'an to report the victory.

It was just that something unexpected happened. Zhang Tongyou, Yan Gaoqing's assistant when he launched the army, burst into tears and begged Yan Gaoqing to let him go to Chang'an to offer prisoners together.

Zhang Tongyou's reason is simple: his brother Zhang Tongru followed An Lushan. If the rebels were defeated, their whole family would be killed, and Yan Gaoqing would not refuse.

Yan Quanming then took Zhang Tongyou on the road together, but at this time the road going north was full of rebels, and the group could only go to Chang'an via a detour to the east of Hedong.

Wang Chengye, the prefect of Taiyuan, warmly received Yan Quanming, then asked about the situation in Hexi in detail, and proactively said:

It's a long way to Chang'an, and the war situation in Hexi is critical. Wouldn't it be nice for me to go to Chang'an for you to show my merit?

Yan Quanming was worried about his father, so after some thought he agreed and went home directly.

Wang Chengye killed He Qianqian and Gao Miao on the spot, and wrote a eloquent memorial, including the chaos in Hebei, Yan Zhenqing's persistence, the restoration of Changshan County, etc.

There's just one difference. He erased Yan Gaoqing's name and replaced it with his own, and in it he emphasized Zhang Tongyou's contribution.

In the end, Wang Chengye was promoted from Taiyuan Prefecture to General Yulin, and Zhang Tongyou stayed in Chang'an as an official.

So what was delivered to An Lushan at this time was two pieces of news:

Yan Gaoqing revolted and restored Changshan County; Yan Zhenqing revolted and killed Duan Ziguang.

The furious An Lushan ordered Shi Siming to return to Hebei to quell the rebellion, while he continued to be in a daze under Tongguan.

The first target Shi Siming chose to attack was Yan Gaoqing, and Yan Gaoqing immediately asked Wang Chengye nearby for help.

Wang Chengye took Yan Gaoqing's credit and wished Yan Gaoqing would die.

Therefore, Yan Gaoqing defended the city for eight days and did not see Wang Chengye's reinforcements until the last soldier was killed.

Changshan fell, and Yan Gaoqing and his family were sent to Luoyang to await the fate of Anlu Mountain. 】

Li Shimin was no longer angry for Xuanzong.

But at this moment, because of a Taiyuan governor, his defense was a bit broken:

How did the Tang Dynasty become like this!

This Wang Chengye should be beheaded!

The cold words spoken in a calm tone were enough to show how corrupt Li Shimin's mood was.

Wei Zheng couldn’t stand it anymore:

Short-sighted people only care about their own interests. How difficult it is for loyal ministers to shed blood to serve the country!

Compared with this, people like Yang Guozhong in the court are all disgusting!

Li Shimin gave a thumbs up in his heart. When Wei Zheng didn't scold him, he looked much kinder.

Changsun Wuji planned to bring some comfort to His Majesty. He stared at the map next to the light curtain and thought for a while, then analyzed:

The land of Hebei is so flat that it is difficult to resist the rebels.

However, the Pingyuan County where Yan Zhenqing is located is close to a lake and the sea, so cavalry cannot be used. Moreover, he has foresight and has been prepared in advance, so he should not be defeated.

Hou Junji also joined in and made a line with his hands:

Wait until the rebels are exhausted, gather capable troops and attack... Weizhou!

Weizhou is connected to Hebei in the north and Henan in the south. It is an important place for the rebels.

Changsun Wuji also agreed. The only thing he was a little worried about was:

Can it go so smoothly?

Li Shimin said firmly:

Hebei is ravaged, there are heavy troops in the east of the river, Tongguan is difficult to enter, and there should be no military envoys in the southeast to make important towns.

So the rebels decided to go south to plunder.

Li Shimin didn't know much about Hu Bing's character. If it was beneficial, he would flock to it like a wolf, and if he attacked a difficult situation, he would be afraid of it like a tiger.

Instead of basking in the sun below Tongguan, it is better to go south to rob wealth and food.

This is Li Shimin's judgment.

So... Changsun Wuji paused:

If we can capture Weizhou and attack Tongguan...

Tongguan will be broken! Li Shimin's words were full of certainty.

Changsun Wuji was confused for a moment and met His Majesty's eyes: no smile, no anger, only belief in Xuanzong.

So Changsun Wuji also fell silent.

Li Jing compared the map with his hands and shook his head, which was a pity:

Xuanzong should not flee to Chengdu, but should take advantage of the situation to enter Longyou and gather the troops in Longyou and Anxi that can fight.

Chang'an has no natural dangers to defend, and it will surely be overcome.

Although Chengdu is easy to defend, it is also difficult to attack.

Li Jing felt a little pity:

When Zhuge Wuhou almost lived in Hanzhong in order to conquer Guanzhong, Xuanzong's run was smooth.

After all this, you're still scheming, concealing information and grabbing credit?

Liu Bei couldn't understand.

Kong Ming was silent for a moment and said:

We have known about this chaos for eight years, but no one living in it knows it.

In Wang Chengye's view, the rebels' escape route has been cut off, and the Hebei volunteers are enough to compete with the rebels.

There are natural dangers in Tongguan that are difficult to break through. Aren't the rebels like turtles in the urn?

Fa Zheng interface said:

In this case, people like Wang Chengye want to share the credit in advance.

Not seeking success but being eager for profit, the country's decline is all due to such a silverfish.

Liu Bei understood a little bit. He remembered the officials in Chang'an City after Dong Zhuo's death.

There was originally a chance to reorganize Chao Gang, but... it was a pity.

Zhang Fei showed contempt:

They all deserve to be buried under a wall of earth!
