The hut can't stop the wind and snow, but it can give people comfort.
In the wind and snow, Zhang Xun listened to Mo Sheng describe the details of Anlu Mountain's rebellion. He did not have the resources to know these, and of course he was not qualified to know how much land a small county magistrate with the size of sesame seeds and mung beans could weigh in one county. Meeting Mo Sheng today, he was able to know the details with the help of his powerful Hidden Sect power. It really opened his eyes and got a glimpse of the sky.
Just like the two brothers Yan Gaoqing and Yan Zhenqing, he used to only know that there was a great Yan family, but he really didn't know much about these two brothers. At most, he had heard a little about them. Today, thanks to the convenience of Mo Sheng, I learned that there are many loyal people in the world, and not all of them are just rats who run away. Although such a heroic man was defeated in the end, and his end was extremely miserable, Zhang Xun knew that although he died, the flag he raised would always be tall and eye-catching and would stand tall.
Yan Gaoqing died heroically at this time last year. His whole family was killed by An Lushan. His father and son were even cut off and eaten alive by An Lushan. They were tortured. Yan Gaoqing was made of iron and was cursed while being tortured. An Lushan, An Lushan was angry, so he had his tongue cut out. In this way, a generation of heroes died with hatred at the age of sixty-four. Zhang Xun was silent. He was not angry or yelling. The only thing in his mind was the old general who was tied to a pillar and being scratched. His body was covered in blood and he was still cursing. He knew that his ending was likely to be the same, but on the day he was bound, did God know, did the emperor know, and did the people know?
Last year on this day of the first lunar month, I looked at Changshan in the distance and thought of Suiyang!
He still has a long way to go, but it may also be short!
An Lushan was a cruel murderer, but he was particularly serious about Yan Gaoqing.
After He Qianqian was captured, in order to survive and use his abilities, he said this to Yan Gaoqing:
"General Yan, now that you are going to serve the imperial court, you should be careful about the beginning and the end. The troops you have recruited are all a mob and it is difficult to resist the enemy. You should dig deep ditches and high bases to wait for work and not compete with the enemy. Wait until Shuofang. Only when the army arrives can we attack together, and spread the message to all counties and counties in Hebei to cut off their retreat. Now you should make a statement to the outside world: Li Guangbi led 10,000 infantry and cavalry out of Jingxingkou. Also send people to attack the generals who rebelled against Raoyang. Zhang Xiancheng shouted: Most of the soldiers you command are regiment-trained soldiers without strong armor. It is difficult to resist the powerful Shanxi soldiers commanded by Li Guangbi. After hearing this, Zhang Xiancheng will break the siege of Raoyang and leave. This is a great plan."
This was He Qianqian's last plan in his life. It was vicious and cunning, and cut right into An Lushan's weakness. Yan Gaoqing listened to his plan, considered it over and over again, and felt that it was indeed a clever one. Sure enough, one of his own knows his own people. So he adopted the thousand-year-old strategy and immediately sent people to start planning. He built the city and deployed people and horses to prepare supplies. If he didn't make a move, he would have become a blockbuster.
He Qianqian's plan was so amazing that Zhang Xiancheng was so frightened that he fled without a fight. The regiment training team he commanded was also defeated and in disarray. Yan Gaoqing then took the opportunity to send his trusted subordinates to lead troops to Raoyang City. He comforted the soldiers guarding the city, built the city, collected troops and trained the soldiers, waiting for the rebels to attack. Immediately afterwards, he issued a notice to all counties and counties in Hebei. The notice clearly stated that the imperial court had appointed Prince Rong Li Wan as the Grand Marshal of the Hebei Army and Ge Shuhan as the Deputy Marshal, commanding an army of 300,000, and would soon send troops to Tumen. The remnants of the Anlushan Party will be wiped out. Counties and counties in Hebei were caught in fire and water, drifting in the wind. Those who were afraid of the rebels had to surrender or flee, while those who were willing to resist the thieves did not know the movements of the imperial court. At this time of dilemma, when they heard the imperial proclamation passed down by Yan Gaoqing, they knew that the imperial court was I haven’t given up on myself yet, so I breathed a sigh of relief and took a big reassurance. With the target in mind, the troops quickly regained their morale and morale. They killed the generals left behind by the rebels one after another. They responded from far and near. A total of fifteen counties changed hands before and after, and the Tang army regained control. It is said that there are more than 200,000 people, but such a form is an extraordinary response. On the other hand, only the six counties of Fanyang, Lulong, Miyun, Yuyang, Ji, and Ye are left to surrender to Anlu Mountain.
Yan Gaoqing's move can be said to be a drain on the fire. Anlushan encountered the biggest disaster since the uprising. Yan Gaoqing not only set fire to it, but also prepared to pour more oil on it. He secretly sent his right-hand man Ma Sui to sneak into Fanyang County to recruit Jia Xun, the general guarding Anlushan's hometown. Ma Sui, a man from Jiacheng, sneaked into the bandit camp's lair. He advised Jia Xun, the guard of the Anlu Mountain base camp:
"An Lushan is rebellious and unpopular. Although he has captured Luoyang, he will eventually perish. If the general can kill his traitorous general, return to the country with Fan Yang, and dump his lair, he will achieve unparalleled achievements."
Jia Xun is also an extremely thoughtful person. He has a temperament that would rather take credit than make a mistake. It is precisely because of this that An Lushan takes a fancy to him, so he can rest assured to hand over his base camp to his hands. After listening to Ma Sui's words, although Jia Xun made a verbal promise, he was comparing the pros and cons over and over in his heart. He was not in a hurry to express his position and hesitated. Sometimes news is like the smell of roast chicken in the wind, which cannot be concealed at all. Jia Xun's various abnormal behaviors were quickly learned by Niu Runrong, the supervisory insider left behind by An Lushan. Niu Runrong, who had received this great contribution, worked non-stop. I just want to spread my wings and fly to Anlu Mountain.
At this time, An Lushan had just captured Luoyang and arrived in this rich imperial capital. Everyone was still partying.
The rebels have been living in the bitter cold of the frontier for many years. They have been fighting with foreigners to their death. They have heard about the wealth of the Central Plains, especially the legendary Guanzhong women with tender and flowing water. These frontier soldiers are even more aware of this. They followed An Lushan in rebellion like a duck, and finally had the opportunity to taste their long-cherished wish. Each of them had blood-red eyes like a wolf and a tiger. Therefore, whenever the rebels arrived, every time they captured a city, whether it was fighting or surrendering, An Lushan would Indulging the sergeants, they looted all the property, food, clothes and women in the city, whipped the strong men to deliver supplies for them, treated the old, weak, sick and young as playthings, playing with them with knives and guns, and laughing when they had enough. Killed in the sound.
The more cities were destroyed, the fatter the rebels would eat. The prosperous Tang Dynasty, which had been at ease for almost a hundred years, was indeed extremely rich. Those women who were as gentle as water were indeed as soft as their fingers. These little ladies were the ones who made steel for hundreds of years. My belly was so worn that I could hardly get out of bed, but when I thought about the more gold and silver I went to Chang'an, the whiter my women became, these soft-legged shrimps suddenly turned into dragons in the waves.
An Lushan was very happy. The more excited the sergeant was, the more relieved he was, because when people were excited, they were not afraid of pain or death. He just let these people die and exchanged their deaths for a more enjoyable life for himself. Living in the majestic palace where a generation of queens lived, he imagined that he had become the female majesty who was visited by all nations, enjoying the prosperity and wealth of the Eastern Capital.
A few days after the good days, An Lushan was dreaming happily. Suddenly, his subordinates came to report that there was a fire in his backyard, and more than half of the counties in Hebei Province turned against him. This shocked An Lushan. He overturned the table and smashed everything in sight. He called Yan Zhuang over and asked him why Yan Gaoqing took the lead in his rebellion. Although Yan Zhuang was the prime minister in name only, in charge of all the rebels, he could not let everyone listen to him. The more An Lushan thought about it, the more shocked he became. The more shocked he became, the more frightened he became. He was afraid that his efforts would be in vain, and he was afraid that he would be destroyed. It was over, he didn't want to be over, so he quickly summoned his general Han Chaoyang into the palace to discuss matters, and at the same time reprimanded Yan Zhuang, who recommended Jia Xun, and finally said that "Yan" sounds the same as "Yan", and Yan Gaoqing's surname Yan Zhuang has the same sound. Also intending to rebel. Yan Zhuang suffered such an unreasonable disaster, and he couldn't even defend himself. When Han Chaoyang arrived after receiving the order, he saw An Lushan dragging his body with fat and whipping two people with a whip in his hand. The two people on the ground who were beaten to a bloody pulp were actually the first among the internal officials. Yan Zhuang and Li Zhuer, the first eunuch.
When An Lushan saw Han Chaoyang coming, he whipped the two of them a few more times, and then explained to Han Chaoyang how Jia Xun had the unyielding heart, and asked him to lead his people to Fanyang City and secretly deal with Jia Xun. Follow the rules to ensure the stability of Fan Yang's hometown. It wasn't until he left the main hall of Anlu Mountain that Han Chaoyang felt that his legs were paralyzed and he was sweating like rain. The two powerful celebrities were beaten unconscious by their master. It seemed that the companion was even more important than the tiger. In this deep winter, An Lushan's heart was actually colder than the wind and snow.
Han Chaoyang arrived in Fanyang and pretended to tell him something. Unknown to Jia Xun, Jia Xun was ambushed by Han Chaoyang and hanged to death. Later, the entire clan was wiped out as a warning. Afterwards, An Lushan ordered Niu Tingjie, the general in charge, to take charge. Fan Yang military, strictly prevent enemy infiltration. As soon as poor Ma Sui arrived in Fanyang from Han Chaoyang, he knew that the matter had been revealed and fled into Xishan. There was a dangerous mountain road in front of him, and he was in a panic and lost his direction. When he was in a dilemma, an old man with long hair and white beard suddenly appeared. This old man called himself Xu Yu, and he was a hermit in the mountain. Knowing that he was in trouble today, Ma Sui came to help him. Ma Sui panicked and didn't choose the road. He didn't care what was true or false when he was in a desperate situation. Following the man's turn, he turned left and right, and after a few miles, he came to a hidden plain, quite like Tao Yuanming's works. He had no time to ask how there could be such a vast plain between these mountains. The lingering fear of escaping from death was enough to calm him down for half his life.
Fan Yang's affairs had been arranged, and Yan Gaoqing's affairs had to be settled. It is said that at this time, the military power of Changshan and Pingyuan counties was greatly strengthened, and a single spark had the potential to start a prairie fire.
An Lushan, who had been stationed in Luoyang for many days, originally planned to let the army continue to invade westward. The frontline cavalry had already arrived in Xin'an. He originally wanted to lead his troops to break through Tongguan, and then take Chang'an in one go, so as to capture the old emperor, but Suddenly I heard that there was a change in Hebei, so I had to immediately order the main force to turn back to Luoyang, and then summoned Shi Siming and Li Lijie to lead more than 10,000 Tibetan and Han infantry and cavalry to attack Boling and Changshan counties. They also sent General Cai Xide to lead 80,000 troops from Hanoi to the north. Attack, intending to take down Yan Gaoqing's brother's head to vent his hatred!
An Lushan's backyard was set on fire, but Xuanzong was looking for excitement for himself!
Feng Changqing lost Luoyang, and Gao Xianzhi lost Shaanxi County. Although both of them suffered the disadvantage of underestimating the enemy, they luckily managed to get hold of the rebels. They retreated to Tongguan and joined Ge Shuhan's army. The terrain of Tongguan is dangerous, and the garrison is sufficient. Hundreds of thousands of people are defending according to the danger. If they work hard for a few days, they will not worry about defeating Anlu Mountain. After all, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing have been washed in blood in the past few decades. I accidentally suffered the loss of being dumb. I turned over and took a breath. It was clear who won and who lost. This revenge must be avenged, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood!
Speaking of this paragraph, Mo Sheng was also a little sad. He knew the abilities of Gao Feng and the two, and felt sad that they ended up like that just because they offended a villain.
Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi didn't wait for An Lushan's blood. They still couldn't avenge their shame with their own hands. It wasn't that they didn't have the ability, but that some people couldn't wait.
"You two losers should have died long ago."
Of course, the only person who can say they deserve death is the wise and wise Emperor.
When the conversation came to Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, Mo Sheng took the opportunity to tell Zhang Xun the experiences and stories of these two people in detail.
When Gao Xianzhi led his army to the east, the emperor sent a confidant to serve as a supervisor. This confidant was a eunuch named Bian Lingcheng. Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi were old acquaintances, and he was even Gao Xianzhi's savior.
Gao Xianzhi was handsome in appearance, strong in martial arts, brave and courageous, and good at riding and shooting. Although he was from Goguryeo, he grew up in Anxi. He read Chinese characters, spoke Chinese, and married a Han wife. It has nothing to do with it except blood. Gao Xianzhi came from a prosperous family. His father was the guerrilla general Gao Sheji. He entered the Tang Dynasty with his father when he was young. When he was more than 20 years old, he was worshiped as a general and had the same class rank as his father. Gao Xianzhi successively served under Tian Renwan and Gai Jiayun, the Jiedushi envoys of the four towns in Anxi, but neither was reused. Later, when Fumeng Lingcha served as the governor, he discovered Gao Xianzhi, an amazing young talent, and promoted him repeatedly. By the end of Kaiyuan, Gao Xianzhi had been promoted to the deputy governor of Anxi and the military envoy of the four towns.
When Gao Xianzhi was the military commander of Duzhi, every time he went out to the army, he had more than thirty followers, and all the clothes were bright and decorated. Feng Changqing, another general under Fumeng Lingcha's sect, saw that Gao Xianzhi was very talented and handsome, and wanted to become Gao Xianzhi's follower, so he wrote an impassioned letter to Gao Xianzhi recommending himself. However, Feng Changqing's self-image was very poor. Not only was he thin, but he also had slanted eyes, a crooked mouth, and short and lame feet. After Gao Xianzhi met Feng Changqing, he thought he was ugly and was unwilling to accept it. After the failure on the first day, Feng Changqing did not lose heart. He submitted another letter on the second day. If the third day failed, he continued on the fourth day. Gao Xianzhi refused angrily, saying that the attendants had already admitted enough, how could they be of any use again? Feng Changqing was also dumbfounded. He only admired the other party's Gao Yi and was willing to follow him. He ignored Gao Xianzhi's refusal. He felt that this immortal general should be unconventional and would not treat Ziyu because of his ugly appearance. Wrong. Gao Xianzhi still didn't accept him. His meaning was very clear. You are too ugly and we don't want to play with you. But he couldn't stand Feng Changqing being attentive at the door every day. Gao Xianzhi was so worn that he had no choice but to admit Feng Changqing into the attendants. Finally, I still made friends with this ugly guy.
Gao Xianzhi was not only beautiful, but also fought more beautifully. At that time, Tibet occupied Xiaobolu, and the Tang Dynasty sent troops three times but failed. So in the sixth year of Tianbao, the emperor appointed Gao Xianzhi as the military governor of the camp. Gao Xianzhi led his army to attack and outsmarted Xiao Bolu. The court was greatly inspired and promoted him to the military governor of Anxi. In the ninth year of Tianbao, Gao Xianzhi attacked Shiguo again. He first made peace and then made a surprise attack, capturing the king and his tribe alive. The following year, Shi Guo led Dashi to attack, but Gao Xianzhi attacked Dashi and was defeated. Later, he was recalled to the imperial court, granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and appointed General You Yulin.
The relationship between Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng was in August of the sixth year of Tianbao, when Gao Xianzhi attacked Xiaobolu Kingdom. At that time, Gao Xianzhi had already won the victory and was escorting King Xiaobolu and Princess Tubo back from the victory via Chifotang Road. The September wind smelled of success. The victorious Gao Xianzhi Feng Changqing's army marched to Lianyun Fort in Bolechuan, where they met up with the long-awaited troops of Bian Lingcheng, and the two sides returned to Hexi County together. At the end of September, Gao Xianzhi returned to Bomichuan and ordered his subordinate Liu Dan to draft a victory report, and sent the envoy Wang Tingfang to Beijing to report the victory. Because he did not know beforehand that his immediate superior, the military governor of the Four Towns, Fu Meng Lingcha, aroused his jealousy and resentment. When Gao Xianzhi and his party returned to Hexi, Fumeng Lingcha did not send anyone out of the camp to greet him. When Gao Xianzhi came to him, without saying a word, he cursed Gao Xianzhi in front of thousands of people:
"Slave of Goryeo, from whom did you get it from the Khotan envoy?"
Gao Xianzhi was still happily waiting to be praised by his superiors, praised by his colleagues, and worshiped by the soldiers, but he did not expect such treatment to greet him. Gao Xianzhi, who had won the battle, was confused. If on a normal day, someone dared to scold him in public, Gao Xianzhi would have turned the opponent into a dead soul under the sword, but this time it was his immediate superior who scolded him. If he is a senior official, he would kill someone. I don’t know if this husband, Mr. Lingcha, who usually values me very much and is kind to me, took the wrong medicine today or was kicked out of bed by my mother-in-law. At the moment, I could only hold back my anger and dissatisfaction and answered truthfully:
"It's due to your vigorous cultivation by Yushi Zhongcheng."
Fu Meng was perceptive and unwilling to give up, and asked again:
"Who did you get the deputy governor of Anxi and the military envoy?"
Gao Xianzhi could only continue to answer:
"It is also the great cultivation of Yushi Zhongcheng."
Fu Meng is wise and will not forgive others:
"Now that I know this, I dare to report the victory without passing it. Why? This slave deserves to be killed. If I hadn't seen that you had just made a meritorious service, I would have had you tied up right away. I wouldn't have said a word to chop your head off!"
Gao Xianzhi ate this firecracker inexplicably, and he didn't know what to do. He was originally an extremely proud person. In addition, he had made great achievements at a young age and was favored by the emperor and the big shots in the court. I don't know how many officials there were. All the young ladies wanted to marry into his family. During that period of time in the entire Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Li Bai were even more popular than Wang Wei. Therefore, in Gao Xianzhi's heart, she was perfect and there was nothing wrong with being proud. Only those mediocre people talk about being humble and low-key. People are not frivolous and waste their youth. It's not that they don't want to be frivolous, but you don't have the capital.
Proud people always have to pay the price for their pride. Gao Xianzhi only cares about acting in a high-profile manner and does not pay much attention to the twists and turns in officialdom. As long as you do things beautifully, others will have nothing to say! Therefore, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with writing directly to the emperor. He did not understand why Fumeng Lingcha had such a big reaction. Did I steal his little wife or kidnap his eldest girl? I look like you've eaten me. If it wasn't for your age, I would have beaten your motherfucker.
Bian Lingcheng is different from Gao Xianzhi. He is a eunuch. He has been crawling around in the deep palace gardens since he was a child. He looks at faces as much as he eats. Otherwise, how could he become Emperor Xuanzong's confidant with no background. Why did Fumeng Lingcha get angry? He knew very well that reporting to higher levels was a taboo in officialdom. You have made the contribution yourself. Three points are yours, and seven points belong to your leader. Otherwise, who would be willing to rack their brains to climb up? . Bian Lingcheng was quick-witted and had a vicious vision. The emperor assigned him to serve as Gao Xianzhi's supervisor. After these battles, Bian Lingcheng knew deeply that although Gao Xianzhi was young and sharp, in time, he would definitely become a powerful official in the frontier. , he is very optimistic about this person, so he is willing to help him. A smooth favor may be exchanged for a real friendship. Everyone is willing to make more important people. No matter whether it is useful or not, at least it can increase his own weight.
Bian Lingcheng then secretly reported the matter to the court. The secret report also wrote:
"If Gao Xianzhi performed meritorious service but died of sorrow, who will work hard for the court in the future?"
As soon as the emperor heard that the battle was won, he ignored the clumsiness of his subordinates and directly promoted Gao Xianzhi to Hongluqing and acting censor Zhongcheng. He replaced Fumeng Lingcha as the Jiedushi of the Four Towns, and ordered Fumeng Lingcha to return to the capital. Fumeng Lingcha was scared. He didn't know that this young man Gao Xianzhi was so powerful. He had humiliated him before, and he didn't know if he would deal with him in the future.
Gao Xianzhi is a smart person, and smart people all know their tricks. After the incident of jumping to the next level, he also reflected on it. Later he learned that it was Bian Lingcheng who defended him from the emperor. Firstly, he was grateful to the eunuch, and secondly, he also Knowing that he had restrained his character, he met with Fu Meng Lingcha in the morning and evening and saluted as before. Fumeng Lingcha was even more ashamed and frightened. He was walking on thin ice with fear, always wondering if Gao Xianzhi would suddenly attack one day.
Deputy capital guard Cheng Qianli, Yamen general Bi Sichen was the dog who surrendered to Anlu Mountain in Luoyang. Officials Wang Tao, Kang Huaishun, Chen Fengzhong and others were always dissatisfied with Gao Xianzhi and jealous of his talent and military exploits, but they had no great ability, so they had no choice but to They used villainous tactics to speak ill of Gao Xianzhi in front of the chief officer, Fumeng Lingcha. Fumeng Lingcha was able to humiliate Gao Xianzhi in person. These people also took great credit. After Gao Xianzhi took office, he called Cheng Qianli over. Fu Meng Lingcha could not be touched. After all, he was an old boss, but he could still deal with these insidious and incompetent little people who were stirring up trouble.
He scolded Cheng Qianli:
"You look like a man on the outside, but you look like a girl on the inside. Why?"
Cheng Qianli was forced by the situation and did not dare to refute.
He scolded Bi Sichen again:
"You took away a thousand stones of seed fields east of my city, do you still remember?"
Bi Sichen could only reply:
"That's what you rewarded me with at that time."
Gao Xianzhi was furious:
"I was afraid of your majesty at that time. Do you think I really rewarded you out of pity?"
He called Wang Tao over again, and after scolding him, he became angrier and angrier. He couldn't help but want to beat them, but now he had begun to learn to restrain his temper. After persuading himself for a while, he let them go. Since then, the whole army has been reorganized and gradually calmed down. Gao Xianzhi can be regarded as the real master of the country.
After Gao Xianzhi became the Jiedu envoy of the four towns of Anxi, he joined the army with the title of Changqing as a recorder of affairs in Prince Qing's Mansion, served as a Jiedu judge, and was given a purple gold fish bag. Soon, he was appointed Chaosan doctor, who was responsible for the warehouses, farming, battles, branches, revenue and other matters of the four towns. From then on, every time Gao Xianzhi went on an expedition, he often ordered Chang Qing to be his envoy. Slowly, Feng Changqing also emerged and made many military exploits.
As for the nobleman Bian Lingcheng in his career, although he was insidious and greedy for money, he did save his life. He must not forget his roots and must come and go often. As time goes by, the two have gradually become friends, and they often get together during the holidays. They both help each other and benefit a lot!
This time during the crusade against Anlu Mountain, Gao Xianzhi, who was named deputy marshal, originally did not want Bian Lingcheng to supervise the army. However, Xuanzong felt that the two were familiar with each other and should handle matters more safely, so he agreed to Bian Lingcheng's request and allowed him to accompany the army. .
The smug Gao Xianzhi was determined to win, but he never thought that the benefactor who saved his life more than 20 years ago would stab him severely more than 20 years later.
Heaven's way is so reincarnated, but who has it ever bypassed?
