    Chapter 45 Two Dragons Robbery for the Pearl will be held in Chang'an

    Asulu said without hesitation that if the general could do it, he would definitely beat Shi Siming to the point where he would not dare to move.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)¡±

    Li Zuoguo said yes, do you have this ambition? Although Shi Siming has a lot of troops, An Lushan's main elite troops are in Luoyang. As long as your 30,000 cavalry are extraordinary and large against Shi Siming in the north, there should be no problem.  "

    Li Zuoguo also sent an order to Li Hu with blood feathers to capture Anrong Pass. After capturing Anrong Pass, he stayed put and waited until my army entered the vicinity of Chang'an before he came to join me.  "

    " Guo Bei asked the young guard in confusion. Why didn't Li Hu ask Li Hu to attack Guanzhong and cut off Chang'an's retreat? There is Mount Anlu in Luoyang to the east. If Chang'an is lost in Guanzhong, it will be a turtle in the urn. Why do you ask Li Hu to stand still?"

    Li Zuoguo smiled and said, Chang'an asked the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Even if a large number of troops were deployed, they were still guarded by elite imperial troops. The siege of the city also focused on three barriers. If they were all blocked, the emperor of Chang'an would have nowhere to escape. Wouldn't it mean that the Tang army would be forced to fight us desperately?  , My soldiers are precious and cannot be wasted like this, leaving a way to escape. If the emperor escapes, at least half of the Chang'an garrison will be mobilized, which will make it much easier to capture Chang'an.  "

    Guo Bei also asked if the emperor would escape if he did not defend Chang'an.  "

    Li Zuoguodao received the news yesterday that the emperor forced Ge Shuhan to lead the army to fight against Anlu Mountain. As a result, Ge Shuhan's entire army was wiped out in the battle at Xigong Mountain, and Tongguan had fallen into the hands of Anlu Mountain. What do you think of an emperor who has been having fun for twenty years?  Will there be an army determined to defend Chang'an and face us and An Lushan?  "Don't skip words.

    Guo Bei nodded and said, indeed, once Tongguan is lost, all the east side of Chang'an will be opened, and Chang'an cannot be defended.  "

    Li Zuoguo sneered and said that this foolish king had a bad idea, but the soldiers on the front line had to pay with their lives. But now the more foolish he is, the better for us. Our opponent now is not the Tang Dynasty, but Anlu Mountain. Tongguan is farther away from Chang'an than us.  Recently, we still need to repair for four days in Lingzhou. If An Lushan sends troops, his vanguard will be able to reach Chang'an in two days. This time it depends on whether An Lushan will attack Chang'an or not?  "

    The generals basically reacted at this time. Li Zuoguo saw that all the generals looked stunned, so he called Li Qi's name and said, "Li Qi, tell me what you thought of?"  "

    Li Qi and Li Zuoguo were given a chance to show off, because his performance in the decisive battle of Wulan could be said to be terrible, and the subsequent relegation punishment also caused other generals to suffer. After all, Li Zuoguo still liked Li Qi. This was the first time Li Zuoguo came to Datang.  One of the first few people to get close to, so Li Zuoguo still had to protect Li Qi no matter what.  (To read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)

    Li Qi said that Anlushan arrived in Chang'an before us. If we attack Chang'an, we will lose our troops due to the resistance of the defenders. We are watching Anlushan from the side and it is impossible to attack freely. In this way, Anlushan will be defeated.  We are in a dilemma, and we have many choices. We can either wait for Anlu Mountain to attack Chang'an, and then attack Anlu Mountain after its army is exhausted, or we can directly attack Anlu Mountain's army, fight a decisive battle with it, and then scoop up Chang'an. It can be said that  The initiative is in our hands.  "

    Seeing that Li Qi understood what he meant, Li Zuoguo nodded to express satisfaction. Guo Bei said, "If An Lushan doesn't attack at Tongguan, does he want to wait for us to attack Chang'an?"  "

    Li Zuoguo laughed, that's just right. We are joining forces with Li Hu, but at that time we just scooped up Chang'an. The capital of a century-old dynasty that has been extremely powerful. There is not much rich loot waiting for us. The Anxi army's secret weapon for siege can be  It comes in handy. As long as Chang'an is scooped up in a short time, An Lushan will have to face the fortified city again. Then we will defend the city.  "

    Speaking of the secret weapon, Guo Bei, the former leader of Huozi Camp, suddenly realized and nodded and said that we are indeed capable of taking down Chang'an City in a short time.  "

    Li Zuoguo took two steps forward and said with overwhelming force and arrogance. Even if Anlu Mountain comes out of Tongguan to fight us in a decisive battle at Chang'an City, will our elite Anxi Army be afraid of him?  The Anxi Army is dominated by the Shule Army, and there is no opponent in the field. It would be better if Anlu Mountain does not come. If Anlu Mountain comes, let him taste the power of our Anxi elite.  "

    The generals were all excited, and Li Zuoguo brought out the pride in their chests. At the same time, they shouted that the Anxi army was invincible and Shaozhen was invincible.  "

    Li Zuoguo pressed his hands, and the tent was immediately quiet. Only Li Zuoguo's voice could be heard. The wounded soldiers were recuperating on the spot and providing for the disabled soldiers. Each army would prepare for war. The lost troops would be replaced from the auxiliary troops. There will be a battle in the future.  The new recruits from Anxi are coming. You go to Guobei to arrange for the replenishment of troops. The army will set off in four days. We don't have to worry. We will first wipe out all the cities west of Chang'an. Then let me see who among you is the best.  The first person to kill a general and seize the city.  "

    The generals clasped their fists together, their armors clanging, and they shouted in unison to obey the order.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)¡±

    Four days later, flags were flying outside Lingzhou City.Square formations were arranged neatly one by one, with black armor like a forest and spears like clouds. Every Anxi Army soldier was in high spirits waiting for the order to set off. A huge wooden platform was built outside the south gate of Lingzhou City, and Li Zuoguo stood there.  Standing on the stage, behind him were the civil servants of Lingzhou City led by Wang Zeduan. Chu Tianming was appointed by Li Zuoguo as the deputy general manager of Lingzhou to assist Wang Zeduan.

    Li Zuoguo didn't waste any time. He waved his hand to indicate the start. The cannons under the stage suddenly sounded, and the entire Anxi Army moved. Row after row of Anxi Army's elite soldiers passed through the wooden platform and then changed into a marching column of six people.  Go southeast.

    Every Anxi warrior who passed the wooden platform looked at the tall and majestic figure at the front of the platform with admiring eyes. That was their undefeated God of War. The strong west wind blew the huge flag with the word "Li" fully unfolded.  There was a "pop-pop" sound in the wind, and in the audience the only sound of footsteps was the clash of soldiers' armor.

    The iron stream rolled forward, and the red cloaks were fluttering, like a sea of ??blood pushing into the distance. The marching soldiers of the Anxi Army sang the military song loudly, "Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north"  Crossing the sea, they merged into a military spirit.

    When the Anxi army was dispatched, An Lushan was in a dilemma in Tongguan. An Lushan was sitting in his study. It was the dog days of summer. All the windows in the study were closed, and four ice basins were placed in the room to cool down.  An Lushan's fat body was still hot and dripping with sweat. There were two maids beside An Lushan who were fanning themselves. The clothes on their chests were wide open, revealing a tuft of chest hair.

    Even so, An Lushan was sweating non-stop. He scooped up a face towel and was wiping his sweat. An official wearing a python suit sat in a chair opposite An Lushan. He wore such a uniform in the summer.  Wearing a tight-fitting official uniform, this official wearing the uniform of the first-class civil servant of the Yan Kingdom established by An Lushan is none other than Yan Zhuang, the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom who "knew the current affairs and became a hero".

    An Lushan squinted his eyes slightly at this time and said, Prime Minister, now my eyes are getting worse and worse. I want to appoint my son Qingxu as the commander-in-chief and General Cai Xide as the deputy commander-in-chief to attack Chang'an. I will return to Luoyang to recuperate.  what do you think?  "

    Yan Zhuang was dignified in appearance and extraordinary in demeanor, but at this time he said with a worried look on his face that if His Majesty were not at Tongguan, the morale of the army would probably be affected. The soldiers must be brave and fearless under the leadership of His Majesty.  "

    An Lushan laughed loudly. He felt very comfortable with Yan Zhuang's invisible flattery. An Lushan pointed at Yan Zhuang and said, "You guys, although my eyes are ill-intentioned, don't say this anymore. Chang'an is now  How's it going?  "

    When Yan Zhuang saw An Lushan talking about business, he said seriously that the news from Chang'an's internal response was that Li Longji was preparing to escape. The big families in Chang'an were fleeing one after another, and the morale of the Chang'an defenders was not high. It was the right time to take Chang'an down at this time, and the Tang Dynasty was very powerful.  It¡¯s all done, just in time for the prosperity of our country, Yan.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)¡±

    An Lushan said, "God is helping me. Once my 200,000 soldiers come out, it will be easy to scoop up Chang'an. It is a major event to destroy the country and rejuvenate it." An Lushan's expression turned sad when he said this, and a wave of resentment emerged. "It's a pity for me."  My eyes can¡¯t be seen clearly now even when they are opened wide, they are just a blur of white.¡±

    He said that An Lushan was suddenly furious. These doctors have no bullshit skills. They came to see him countless times and took countless bowls of bitter medicine, but the results were not good at all. He also said that he was a famous doctor who had been an imperial doctor. Bullshit, Li Zhuer "An  Lushan's last roar was for the eunuch steward Li Zhuer beside him.

    Li Zhuer, who was waiting outside the door, heard the sound and hurriedly came in, knelt down on the ground, and gave instructions.  "

    An Lushan's eyes widened, but his pupils could not focus. He yelled that the four medical officers who were imprisoned yesterday were completely quacks. You should immediately take them out of prison and behead them in public, and then kill their whole family.  Kill them all and punish the nine tribes for daring to lie to me and deceiving the emperor.  "

    Li Zhuer's body was as round as An Lushan's. He was white and fat but very agile. He kowtowed quickly and said, "I will take care of it now. These quack doctors have delayed His Majesty's condition and deserve to be killed."  "

    An Lushan yelled, why don¡¯t you go quickly?  "At this time, the maid who was fanning on the left of An Lushan was panicked. She shook her hand, and the long palace fan in her hand directly hit An Lushan's shoulder. The maid who had caused a big disaster was so frightened that the maid hurriedly threw it away.  He opened the fan in his hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "This slave deserves to die, please forgive me."

    The other maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, and they kowtowed together to beg for mercy. Li Zhuer stood up nimbly, took two steps forward and slapped the maid who had hit An Lushan with the fan in the face.  Swearing at the waiter?  You guys are so stupid, come here, drag these two bastards down and beat them with ten sticks.  "

    When they heard the beating, the two maids showed grateful expressions. It was Li Zhuer who was protecting them. At least they would not lose their lives. Since An Lushan's eyesight became worse and worse, the maids and eunuchs who served him had  Because he was killed by An Lushan more than a dozen times when he was young, he was not from a famous family in the first place.An Lushan in 1941 killed people very cruelly, either cutting them in half or hanging them, as if this way he could vent his invisible anger.  (To read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)

    The palace maid who lost her hand was Li Zhuer's partner, that is, the married couple in the palace. Their name was Zihuan. They were both from the same village. Li Zhuer turned out to be from the palace of Prince Li Can, the king of Yan in Youzhou.  As a result, when An Lushan raised his army, the twelve sons who were originally used by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to monitor An Lushan were captured by An Lushan without any resistance and executed in Youzhou. Li Zhuer was originally just a small eunuch.  , the head eunuch of Prince Yan's Palace was killed together with Li Suan. An Lushan had long wanted to become emperor, and Li Zhuer, who was familiar with the affairs of the palace, was included in An Lushan's palace.

    Li Zhuer was very smart in doing things, so he quickly gained the favor of An Lushan and became the chief eunuch. However, Zi Huan was a fellow countryman whom Li Zhuer met after An Lushan became emperor, and was selected by An Lushan after he became emperor.  The two became married to the maids in the palace. It didn't last long, but they were both fallen people and their relationship was very good. So when Li Zhuer saw Zi Huan getting into trouble, he immediately got up to save her.

    The slap was so loud that Li Zhuer was afraid that An Lushan would kill Zi Huan if he hadn't been cruel. Four strong eunuchs appeared at the door and stepped forward to lift up the two women on the ground.  , ready to be dragged out for execution.

    When the men reached the door, Li Zhuer and the two women breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the lives of the two women had been saved. An Lushan, who had been silent, said at this time, Li Zhuer, only gave him ten sticks?  "

    Li Zhuer was stunned and quickly said, "Your Majesty, do you think you are too light?"  "You gritted your teeth and said, what about twenty sticks?"

    An Lushan laughed, his voice was very gloomy. He dared to hit me with his fan, bullying me because I couldn¡¯t see?  Give them a hundred sticks and beat them in the courtyard to show these slaves the consequences of their work.  "

    Li Zhuer's whole body felt like he was frozen. Not to mention the delicate woman, the sturdy man was also beaten to death with a hundred sticks. An Lushan wanted to beat these two women to death, and his wife Zihuan was also there.  Inside, Li Zhuer's heart was about to break. Eunuchs are also human beings. This kind of fake couple formed in the palace comforts each other's souls. Their relationship is the best. Zihuan is especially good to Li Zhuer, making the nine-year-old pure.  Li Zhuer has a rare feeling of being a man again.

    But An Lushan did not tolerate disobedience at all. Seeing that Li Zhuer had not made a sound for a long time, An Lushan's voice became lower and lower?  No one listens to my words now?  My eyes are not blind yet.  "

    Li Zhuer shivered, Zabu¡¯s life was gone, and he quickly ordered to be dragged out for execution. Didn¡¯t you hear what the Holy Father said?  "Li Zhuer's voice suddenly sounded extremely bitter.

    "Holy Lord, please spare my life" The palace maid who was innocently implicated screamed, but Zihuan didn't scream. She looked at Li Zhuer with a pale face. She couldn't beg for mercy. If she begged for mercy, she would probably go in, no matter it was the steward.  The official position was useless, and there was no difference in An Lushan's eyes among the servants who served him. Zi Huan's eyes were filled with sadness and despair, but with a hint of worry.

    Li Zhuer watched Zi Huan being dragged out with clenched fists, and the execution began in the courtyard amidst the screams of another palace maid. The sound of the board hitting the flesh was so harsh, and the worry in Zi Huan's eyes  Li Zhu'er saw it, and what Zi Huan was worried about was that in the palace, an emperor like An Lushan would lose his life because of trivial matters. Li Zhu'er could do nothing but watch Zi Huan slowly die in the courtyard.  die.

    Li Zhuer turned around and kowtowed to Anlu Mountain, saying that the two palace ladies had been killed in the battle, and the servants immediately went to kill the four imperial doctors.  "

    An Lushan waved his hand impatiently and asked Li Zhuer to go out. The moment he went out, Li Zhuer glanced at Yan Zhuang's eyes, which were full of meaning. There were tears in the corners of Li Zhuer's eyes just after he went out, and he quickly raised his sleeves to wipe them away.  , Anlu Mountain is invisible, but what about Yanzhuang?  Li Zhuer shook his head and looked at the two lifeless corpses in the courtyard. There were purple rings inside. Li Zhuer just wanted to cry and suppress his grief. Li Zhuer called a young eunuch and ordered him to take the purple rings.  The body was transported to the back and cremated, and then he turned around and went out to deliver the order to kill the doctor.

    Yan Zhuang waited until Li Zhuer went out and said that the emperor should not be impatient. There are no famous doctors in Luoyang. When Chang'an is captured, there will be more famous doctors who will definitely be able to cure the emperor's eyes.  "

    An Lushan said, "Let's send troops as soon as possible. I'll go back to Luoyang first," and then he raised his voice and said, "Come here."

    Another eunuch came in outside the door, and An Lushan said, "Go and call Cai Xide to see me."  "

    An Lushan said to Yan Zhuang, "The Prime Minister will accompany me to Luoyang, go down and prepare."  "

    Yan Zhuang stood up and knelt down to An Lushan. When he left the palace gate, Yan Zhuang had a sneer on his face. He met the deputy commander Cai Xide alone. It was because An Qingxu, who was not the head coach, wanted to use Cai Xide to contain An Qingxu. Today he also met with An Lushan.  To be honest, Yan Zhuang doesn't like cruelty, but now that he has great power, he can't control so much.

    Getting on the carriage, he solemnly said to go back to his residence, pack up and prepare to return to Luoyang.  "On the ninth day of July in the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan sent 150,000 troops to attack Chang'an. His son An Qingxu was the commander-in-chief, and General Cai Xide, the general of the southern campaign, was the deputy general. They were known as an army of 250,000. Guanzhong was shaken, and the wealthy households in Chang'an who had the conditions fled.  Because of the sudden appearance of Li Zuoguo's Anxi Army, more large households fled Chang'an. Moreover, An Qingxu was also concerned about Li Zuoguo's Anxi Army and did not let go of his speed.

    Li Zuoguo's army has joined Li Hu's 60,000-strong army in Wugong County, west of Chang'an. The total strength has reached 170,000, and the cavalry has reached 60,000, also known as 250,000. They have formed with An Qingxu's army that has arrived in Weinan.  In order to seize the opportunity of the two dragons to grab the pearl, the target of both sides is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which is only two days away from Chang'an.

    An Qingxu's forward was about to reach Chang'an. After reorganizing his army in Weinan, he moved his army to accelerate the advance under Cai Xide's suggestion, hoping to capture Chang'an in one fell swoop and get a head start before Li Zuoguo arrived.

    Li Heng, the prince who stayed behind in Chang'an, also fought hard for his own life. He scooped up a large number of silver laborers. At the same time, he offered rewards in Chang'an City to recruit soldiers to defend the city. At the same time, he opened the arsenal door and armed the soldiers raised. The Tang Dynasty's century-old savings should not be underestimated.  , there are still a population of 600,000 in Chang'an City, and those who remain are basically ordinary people. There is no shortage of brave men in Longxing, Guanzhong. Although it is short-lived, under the heavy reward, it still recruits about 30,000 young and strong generals in Chang'an City.  There are many princes and princes in the army, and there are also many personal soldiers under them. They all contributed during the disaster of overthrowing the country, forming an elite force of 15,000 people, plus 40,000 Shence Army and 40,000 new soldiers.  The total strength has also reached 125,000, which is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

    Although Li Heng's soldiers would definitely not be able to defeat either of the two armies when they went out to fight in the city, they would be much better if they defended the city. Chang'an was almost ready in a hurry. Li Heng even ordered the Daming Palace to be connected to the entrance of Chang'an City.  All the gates of all passages were sealed, poured with iron juice, and watchtowers and arrow towers were erected to seal this gap. As for the entire Daming Palace outside the city, it was completely ignored.

    On July 12, the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Qingxu's army gathered in Chang'an and began to attack the city.
