    Chapter 2 Ma Zaipo Speaking of which, Anlu Mountain has a great connection with Blood Camp.  This starts with the Khitans. During the Wu Zetian era, in addition to the shame brought by the Tubo people talking about Qinling, there were also Khitans. First, Cao Renshi, Zhang Xuanyu, and Marenjie were defeated in the battle of Xia Shigu.  Then Wang Xiaojie was in Xia Shi Valley again, but the battle in the east of the valley was even more tragic. One hundred and seventy thousand people were wiped out, and Wang Xiaojie himself fell off a cliff and died.  In the end, he invited Mo Chu to defeat Sun Wanrong.  But instead of killing a wolf, he invited a tiger.  When we arrived at Sun Quan, after the battle at Lengxing, only a few of the 28,000 troops came back.  Wu Keli and Li Kaigu were almost killed by their own tribe.  This is back to Xuena. He had always been very careful before, but he heard that the Northeast He, Xi and other tribes wanted to submit to the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty did not build a camp, so they had to defect to the Turks.  As long as the Tang Dynasty rebuilds Yingzhou, the prime minister will surrender.  If you want to establish Yingzhou, you must defeat the Khitan.  So Xue Na was greedy for merit and took the initiative to request.  In the seventh month, Xue Ne sent out troops, but his general Du Binbin thought it was a hot summer and not the time to send troops, so he refused to listen.  Arriving at Luanshui Mountain Gorge, Wang Hua had copied the Khitan's battle example before, but Xue Ne was also negligent.  So he was ambushed and 80,000 troops died.  Xue Gao and dozens of cavalry escaped from the encirclement and were laughed at by the Khitan people as Xue Po.  When Zhao Hanzhang arrived again, he fought with the Khitan at Baishan and was defeated. Fortunately, Pinglu and Wu Chengxun led troops to fight out from the right and defeated the Khitan army, saving some face.  The next year, Xue Song's father, Xue Chuyu, ordered Guo Zhiyun's son, general Guo Yingjie, to lead an army of ten thousand to fight the Khitan in Dushan.  Guo Yingjie died in the battle, and the Khitan people showed his head. The remaining 6,000 people still refused to surrender, so 10,000 people were killed.  Li Longji was very angry and invited Zhang Shougui, a famous general from the Blood Camp.  After Zhang Shougui took office, he rectified the military and political affairs, motivated the soldiers, and waited for an opportunity to take the initiative to attack the Khitans.  Seeing that there was no hope of victory on the battlefield, Khitan kings Quli and Ketugan were frightened and resorted to a false surrender plan.  But how could this strategy be hidden from Zhang Shougui?  So he followed the plan and killed Quli and Ke Tugan.  At this time, the situation of the Tang Dynasty and the Khitans really turned from defense to offense and gained the upper hand.  The story happened from here. An Lushan was General Zhang Shougui and Zuo Xiaowei. He advanced lightly with courage and was defeated by the captives. He should be killed according to the law.  But before he was executed, he shouted loudly: "The doctor doesn't want to destroy Xi and Khitan evil, so how can he kill Lushan?" Zhang Shougui originally loved his bravery, but when he heard this cry, he lost the intention to kill and sent him to the capital.  Zhang Jiuling remonstrated and said that he should be killed according to the law, and what's more, judging from his actions, he must have the opposite effect.  Li Longji refused to listen and returned to his original place.  Zhang Shougui was ordered to be the general who captured the dead.  But this man is very capable. Every time he rides out, he will definitely capture dozens of Khitan people.  Some history books say that he took credit for his work, which was deliberately belittling. If it was true that he took credit for his work, how could Zhang Shougui not notice it?  Because of this killing, Zhang Shougui noticed this person, so he loved him even more, adopted him as his adopted son, and taught him his military skills.  This made An Lushan even more powerful and truly began a qualitative change.  An Lushan also had a good friend named Shi Xunqian, who fled with official debts and was caught by Xi Ren scouts who wanted to kill him.  Shi Xunqian said loudly: "I am the peace envoy of the Tang Dynasty. If you kill me, it will harm your country." The scouts don't know whether it is true or not. The Tang Dynasty had a marriage alliance with them. Li Longji once brought Yongle to the throne.  The princesses, Princess Yanjun, Princess Donghua, Princess Yifang, Princess Gu'an, Princess Jingle, and Princess Dongguang were married to the Khitan and Xi tribesmen, but most of the princesses married in the Tang Dynasty were killed by these barbarians.  This became the biggest humiliation in the history of the Tang Dynasty.  But the times and trends are not right. At that time, the Tang Dynasty destroyed them every time they came. Now the situation is reversed. The Tang Dynasty destroyed them every time they saw it.  So Shi Xunqian was brought to Yazhang.  When he met King Xi, he had to admit that Shi Xuqian was very courageous. When he saw Queen Xi, he bowed his head and refused to bow.  King Xi was very angry, but he was afraid of the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to kill her. So he treated her like a guest and sent hundreds of people to the Tang Dynasty to "marry" the princess.  Can this go back?  Shi Xigan rolled his eyes, took the plan seriously, and said: "The king sent many people, but they are all low-level people and are not qualified to meet our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that your Xi tribe has a good general named Suo Gao.  , Why not let him enter the court? "No matter how smart King Xi is, he never thought that a Tang Dynasty man would dare to marry a princess to deceive others. After thinking about it, he agreed.  But they could not really be allowed to enter the court. Before they arrived at the military city, Shi Xunqian sent someone to say to Pei Xiuzi, the military envoy of the military city: "The good generals of the Xi tribe came with their elite troops. It was called entering the court, but it was actually to attack the army."  The city should be prepared early." Pei Xiuzi didn't think of anything else. He believed Shi Xunqian's words, so he welcomed Suo Gao and others into the embassy and killed them with heavy troops.  Suogao was captured alive and sent to Youzhou.  Zhang Shougui laughed loudly after hearing this. This little Shizi was interesting. Even the great King Xi asked him to play around. He didn't take it seriously. Instead, he took it as merit and played it as Guo Yi. Later he met Li Longji, and Li Longji and  He was very happy and named him Shi Siming. ?So under Zhang Shougui's tent, these two biggest rebels grew up steadily.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~ Chang¡¯an is still prosperous.  Especially after Li Longji got Concubine Yang, the king has not come to court early since then. In addition, now he is not enterprising and is too lazy to deal with political affairs.  After Li Linfu died, he handed over political affairs to Yang Guozhong later.  When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.  Yang Guifei has three sisters. The one who is suitable for the Cui family is called the Lady of Korea, the one who is suitable for the Pei family is called the Lady of Guo State, and the one who is suitable for the Liu family is called the Lady of Qin State.  Cousin Yang Wei was the young eunuch of the palace, and Yang Qi was the prince-in-law and married Princess Taihua.  The five Yang families were given residences in the capital.  "The power is overwhelming the world" and "the bribes from all directions gather together." Yang Guozhong was prime minister for less than two years, and he accumulated 30 million pieces of Chinese and foreign pay tributes (high-quality fine silk woven with double silk).  How popular is the Yang family?  There are five teams of the Yang family, each with a different color and uniform, as if they are integrated into one, as charming as clouds and brocade.  The five families competed to build houses that were more luxurious and beautiful. If they saw someone's house being better than theirs, they would immediately tear it down and build a new one.  Among them, Mrs. Guo Guo valued Wei Sili's house and immediately asked Wei Sili's family to move out. She only paid back ten acres of land in the corner to repay the Wei family's losses.  Wei Sili's family members dared not speak out in anger, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger.  The Yang family went on a night tour of the five houses and fought with Li Longji's beloved daughter, Princess Guangping, at the Sishi Gate. The Yang family's slave whipped the princess off the horse, and the consort Cheng Changyi got off the horse to help the princess.  Then he was whipped severely by Yang's slaves.  Princess Guangping was furious. If it was Yang Guozhong who whipped her, there would be nothing wrong with her, but several slaves dared to whip herself and her consort.  So he ran to Li Longji and cried.  Li Longji issued an edict to put to death the slaves of the Yang family who used whips. He then blamed the consort Cheng Changyi for failing to discipline his servants and removed him from his official position.  Who is it that fails to discipline the servants?  Princess Guangping was dumbfounded when she heard this.  "Civil officials are generous, their rewards are excessive, and the court's expenses are even more excessive."  Where are the generals?  The land equalization system was destroyed, and the government soldiers had insufficient land. They had to pay heavy taxes and serve long military service.  So he fled to the mountains and forests.  The imperial court had no choice but to recruit troops.  However, Li Longji did not reform the huge Zhechong Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, which meant that all the officers were still there and were still being paid.  In order to win over the soldiers, the border generals forced the court to grant officials and rewards. Even Ge Shuhan, Feng Changqing, and Gao Xianzhi were unable to escape the secular world.  This undoubtedly increases administrative costs.  At the same time, in his later years, Li Longji was deposed and needed a huge army to support him.  Originally, the annual border fee in the Tang Dynasty was only two million guan, but by the end of Tianbao, it had reached 14 to 5 million guan.  The food requirements for Jiannan Road 3 in Youzhou, Hedong alone reached two million dan.  Where will this money go? It can only come from the heads of poor people.  During the Kaiyuan period, people were not picking up relics on the roads. By the end of Tianbao, the court was dim. In addition, Guanzhong was flooded and droughted for many years, and people sometimes starved to death on the roads.  But a dish in Yang Guozhong's family can cost ten households of the middle-class family (do they eat dragon meat every day?).  Li Longji also saw something was wrong. It didn¡¯t rain for half a year, and then it rained non-stop for half a year, so he asked Yang Guozhong.  Yang Guozhong showed Li Longji some well-growing seedlings and said, "Although it rained heavily, it did not damage the crops." Fang Guan, the prefect of Fufeng, reported that the flood was serious, so Yang Guozhong sent the censor to investigate, not to check the flood, but to inspect the ward.  Check if there is any dirt behind your buttocks, and prepare to check the entire room.  So no one in the world dared to talk about the disaster.  Li Longji looked at the continuous heavy rain and asked Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi said: "Since your Majesty entrusted the power to the prime minister, rewards and punishments have been inappropriate, causing the yin and yang of heaven to be out of balance. How dare I say that?" Gao Lishi not only gave some advice on this matter.  , Li Longji also gave advice on delegating power to border generals, but Li Longji refused to listen.  I knew it, but when I went back and lay down on Yang Yuhuan¡¯s white and tender belly, I didn¡¯t think about anything else.  Zhu Tong was still there, so old that half of his teeth were missing. He ran to Wang Hua and said, "Erlang, it's as you said." Wang Hua just smiled and said nothing.  An Lushan returned to Fan Yang and asked for thirty-two Tibetan generals to replace the Han generals to clear the last obstacle.  Li Longji actually agreed, and Wei Jiansu was worried about Zhongzhong.  There was no way to persuade him, so he had to come up with an idea. Li Longji ordered An Lushan to be Pingzhangshi, summoned him to the court, appointed Jia Xun as Fanyang Jiedushi, and Lu Zhihui as Pinglu Jiedushi.  As envoy, Yang Guang was the envoy of Hedong Festival.  It is the dream of every official to become a general and become a prime minister. If An Lushan does not rebel, he will naturally be very happy.  And An Lushan's power can be eliminated.  If you want to rebel, this edict will definitely not be granted.  Li Longji made sense when he heard it, but after he finished writing the book, he left it unpublished and asked the eunuch Fu Lin to check it under the pretext of giving precious fruits.  Fu Lin received a heavy bribe from An Lushan, so she naturally said good things when she came back.  Wei Jiansu's hard work was in vain again.  But what if it¡¯s not so?  After An Lushan returned to Fan Yang, whenever an envoy from the imperial court came, he always pretended to be ill and stayed away.After arranging the troops, he came out to receive him.  This was because he was afraid that the imperial court would take the opportunity of issuing an order to capture the thief first and capture the king first and kill him.  Li Longji then ordered An Lushan¡¯s son An Qingzong to marry Princess Rongyi, and An Lushan went to Beijing to attend the wedding.  An Lushan said that he would be sick in the future.  In July, 3,000 horses were presented to the court on Anlu Mountain, but each horse was equipped with two grooms, and 22 Tibetan generals were sent to escort them.  Xi Xun, Yin Da of Henan, became suspicious and wrote to Anlu Mountain: "Please tell Anlu Mountain to come in winter to offer chariots for viewing, and the court will provide horsemen, so you don't have to trouble his soldiers." Don't talk about horsemen, just say soldiers.  If these more than 6,000 people were all elite soldiers, and they broke into the capital under the pretext of offering horses, what would be the consequences?  At that time, Wang Hua also presented horses, more numerous and more frequently than An Lushan, and only a few hundred people accompanied him to take care of them.  Sometimes they are even handed over directly to Qinzhou officials for escort, even the civilian service of the escort is saved.  Li Longji realized something, so he sent the eunuch Feng Shenwei to inform Anlu Mountain, saying, "I have just built a warm soup pool for you in Huaqing Palace. I will wait for you there in October."  An Lushan was not happy when he heard this. He sat on the bed and did not bow down. He only said that the emperor was kind and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't sacrifice the horse. I will definitely go to the capital in October."  Then he ordered people to place Feng Shenwei in the pavilion and not to see him again.  It took many days before Feng Shenwei was allowed to return to the court.  Feng Shenwei was frightened to death. When he saw Li Longji, he cried loudly: "I almost couldn't see your majesty." But in this way, An Lushan officially rebelled, but he did not say that he rebelled, but targeted Qingjun and executed him.  In the name of killing Yang Guozhong.  All the elite troops in the army, as well as the powerful soldiers of Tongluo, Xi, Khitan, Shiwei and other tribes, totaling 150,000, were called 200,000.  The most annoying thing is the artillery left by Wang Hua. Except for the defeat to the Khitan and the loss of more than 40 guns, which were turned into fine iron by the Khitan, most of the rest were given to Anlu Mountain by Li Longji.  In November, Fan Yang raised troops.  Hebei Road was originally under the jurisdiction of Anlu Mountain. When the guard collapsed, the officials who were guarding the city either surrendered, escaped, or were captured alive by their subordinates. Almost no one resisted.  In December, the rebels crossed the river in Lingchang, Huazhou, and went to Kaifeng and Xingyang in Chenliu County.  At that time, the world had been at peace for a long time, especially the people in the Central Plains, who had not known military revolution for many generations. When they attacked Xingyang in Anlu Mountain, the soldiers guarding the city wall fell like rain when they heard the sound of drums and horns.  Hearing the sound of war drums and horns, he fell from the top of the city like rain because of fear.  How to defend Xingyang?  Li Longji confirmed An Lushan's rebellion, beheaded An Qingzong, and granted Rongyi Princess to commit suicide.  Let Guo Ziyi replace An Sishun as Shuofang's military envoy.  In fact, An Sishun and An Lushan are not related by blood. An Lushan's real name is Aluoshan. His mother is a Turkic witch who pretends to be a witch, and his father is from Kangguo.  Later, he kicked her husband and remarried a man from Anguo, so he took the surname An.  Later, Tuqi Shi was defeated and fled to Youzhou with An Sishun, his stepfather and brother's son.  There is a slight relationship, but not a deep one.  Ge Shuhan also laughed at An Lushan for what he was doing.  But An Sishun was a very purebred. Like An Lushan, An Sishun was also very dissatisfied with Ge Shuhan, but he did not object. The famous generals Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi came from his hands.  Otherwise the consequences would be worse.  It happened that Feng Changqing entered the court, so Feng Changqing was sent to Luoyang to recruit troops.  Feng Changqing was a little overconfident. In his mind, he thought that An Lushan was seeking glory, and Li Longji was blind, and he got the position because Yang Yuhuan said good things.  But when did you become famous?  He raised 60,000 troops in ten days, cut off all the stone bridges in Luoyang, and marched to Hulao Pass for defense.  However, these soldiers were recruited temporarily without training, and because of a fire in the weapons depot a few years ago, 370,000 weapons were lost. The Central Plains has always been short of weapons.  There was also Feng Changqing Tuoda, so the Tang army was defeated in the battle of Hulao Pass.  In the battle at Luoyang, the Tang army was defeated again.  Luoyang fell.  At this time, the Tang Dynasty asked Gao Xianzhi to assemble the Feiqi Wanqi and other troops, making up 50,000 people. The two of them met and totaled.  This time, Feng Changqing did not dare to rely on others, so he retreated to Tongguan and took advantage of the natural dangers to protect himself.  This is a very correct strategy.  Tongguan is naturally dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.  There are no hot air balloons in Anlu Mountain, and gliders dominate the sky.  Even if there is, under intensive defense, it has become a living target.  In the rear area of ??Hebei, Yan Gaoqing raised his troops, and all seventeen counties in Hebei responded, with 200,000 followers.  Of course, these 200,000 are scary to say, but in terms of actual combat effectiveness, they are not as good as An Lushan's 20,000 elite soldiers.  In addition, his cousin Yan Zhenqing also gathered tens of thousands of people.  These two brothers almost captured the rear of Anlu Mountain.  At this time, as long as the Tang Dynasty defended Tongguan, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi mobilized Hexi, Shuofang, Longyou and other troops to leave Jingxing Pass, join forces with the Hebei rebels, and capture Hebei.  It can disintegrate the enemy's military morale.  Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and huge financial and manpower. When this machine was started, it would consume the rebels to death.  Guard Tongguan and ensure peace in Chang'an. The longer it takes, the better it will be for the Tang Dynasty.  Moreover, Feng Changqing was afraid that Li Longji would not knowBai, three dispatches were sent immediately to state the interests.  But what about Li Longji?  Thinking that they had lost their troops and territory, they were sentenced to death.  Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted "injustice" and their voices shook the sky.  After killing these two famous generals, the court forced Ge Shuhan to fight again.  The heroes have the same idea. What Feng Changqing thought of, Ge Shuhan had already thought of.  Although at this time Tongguan assembled 200,000 troops.  But what's the use?  At that time, the Blood Camp only had 10,000 regular soldiers, but it defeated many enemies.  Not to mention two hundred thousand, even two million, these stragglers are no match for An Lushan's army.  While guarding Tongguan, he sent someone to write to Oceania, crying to Wang Hua for help.  In fact, the soldiers of the Blood Camp have been in contact with Wang Hua over the years.  But Wang Hua wrote a letter telling them not to contact him again, otherwise it would delay their future.  Ge Shuhan guarded Tongguan for half a year. Without this half-year, the outcome of the Tang Dynasty would have been even worse.  This bought the Tang Dynasty a lot of time to prepare and raise funds.  In fact, because Ge Shuhan held back An Lushan's army, the situation was excellent. Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Shi Siming fought in Jiashan and killed more than 40,000 rebels.  More prefectures and counties in Hebei killed rebel guards and surrendered to the imperial court.  Fan Yang's way back was also cut off.  All the soldiers who were home in Fan Yang were shaken in their hearts.  An Lushan was greatly frightened and summoned his generals Gao Shang and Yanzhuang to scold me. You all persuaded me to rebel. Now the army is blocked at Tongguan and cannot be broken for several months. The road back to the north is also blocked. The officers and soldiers are gathered in large numbers. The area we occupy  There is only Bianzhou and Zhengzhou, how to win?  In the end, An Lushan had no choice but to abandon Luoyang and return to Fanyang.  At this time, Li Longji listened to Yang Guozhong's slander and sent people many times to force Ge Shuhan to fight.  Ge Shuhan did not wait for Wang Hua's reply and was pressed by the court. He held his chest and cried bitterly to go to war.  As a famous general, even more strategic than Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, how could he not know the outcome of the battle?  At the Battle of Lingbao, the Tang army was defeated, and Ge Shuhan fled back to Tongguan with only 8,000 men.  Seeing that Anlu Mountain was huge, Tibetan general Huo Guiren and others kidnapped Ge Shuhan and surrendered to Anlu Mountain.  A famous general of a generation, once the number one brave general in the Blood Camp, and the White Camel God of Killing in the hearts of the Tubo people, unexpectedly ended up in such a humiliating end.  The imperial court did not receive the battle report and knew that the danger was high, so at the instigation of Yang Guozhong, Li Longji fled Sichuan.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yang Guozhong was preparing to escape,  At the same time, he said smugly: "Over the years, I have always said that An Lushan was going to rebel, but the emperor didn't believe it. It's not my fault."  People's ears and eyes said that they wanted to conquer Anlu Mountain personally, but of course no one believed it.  He also appointed Yin Weifang and Cui Guangyuan to stay in Chang'an, while Bian Lingcheng was in charge of the keys to the palace.  After dark, let Chen Xuanli gather the six armies of the Forbidden Army and reward them with money and silk.  Just after dawn, Xuanzong set out from Yanqiu Gate with his sisters, princes, concubines, princesses, emperor's grandson, Yang Guozhong, Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin, Chen Xuanli and his trusted eunuchs and palace people. The concubines and princesses outside the palace  The emperor and his grandson all abandoned him and just tried to escape by themselves.  When Xuanzong passed by Zuozangku, Yang Guozhong asked to set it on fire and said: "Don't leave this money to the rebels." Li Longji said sadly in his heart: "When the rebels come and they don't have money, they will definitely collect it from the people. It's better to leave it to the rebels."  Give it to them and alleviate the suffering of the people." This shows that he still has a conscience in his heart.  Li Longji left secretly, and officials continued to go to court, but no one could be seen.  It was chaos, and the princes, nobles, and common people were all running for their lives.  Some people from the mountains and plains took the opportunity to enter the palace and the houses of princes and nobles and steal money.  Some even rode donkeys into the main hall, robbed them, and then set fire to the large surplus store in Zuozang.  Bian Lingcheng killed more than a dozen people and stabilized the situation.  So he and Cui Guangyuan surrendered to Anlu Mountain.  Li Longji and his party passed by the bridge. In order to cut off the enemy's pursuit, Yang Guozhong sent people to set fire to the bridge. Li Longji said again: "Officials and people are taking refuge for survival, why cut off their way of survival?" Gao Lishi was sent to lead people to put out the fire.  When he arrived in Xianyang, he asked the eunuch Wang Luoqing to prepare for the reception.  Who would have thought that Wang Luoqing and Xianyang officials fled after hearing the news, leaving Li Longji alone.  It was noon and Li Longji had not eaten yet, so Yang Guozhong had to spend his own money to buy Hu cakes for Li Longji to satisfy his needs.  When the people heard about this, they rushed to offer coarse meals.  Li Longji paid according to the price, and the people all shed tears.  We all have very complicated feelings towards Li Longji.  Call him bad, even in his later years, he did not abuse the people like Qin Shihuang and Yang Guang, and even gave them tax exemptions from time to time.  Let's say he is not bad. He insists on ignoring the country and leaving political affairs in the hands of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. He has ruined a great country like this.  But I don¡¯t understand, Wang Hua has done more straightforwardly than him in Oceania, why has the territory been expanded to an unprecedented level?realm?  The population has increased to more than 41 million in just a few decades?  Everybody is confused.  An old man named Guo Congjin knelt in front of Li Longji and said: "Anlu Mountain has harbored evil intentions for a long time. Many people made suggestions to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty killed them. Therefore, the previous emperors sought loyal and upright people to spread the world. I remember the Song Dynasty  When Jing was the prime minister, he dared to offend Yan Zhijian, so the world was safe at that time. Now I, a commoner, expected the situation today, but what about Your Majesty? "Li Longji just said it was wrong.  The car rattled, the horse roared, and the car continued to move forward.  Many officials who followed Li Longji fled along the way. At the inn at night, people slept on each other's pillows, regardless of their status.  When they arrived at Mazaipo, the soldiers who followed him were angry because of the lack of food.  Chen Xuanli believed that the chaos in the world was caused by Yang Guozhong.  At least without Yang Guozhong's slander, Ge Shuhan would not have been forced to leave Tongguan.  Yu asked the eunuch Li Fuguo to tell the prince Li Heng.  Li Heng hesitated.  It happened that more than 20 Tibetan envoys stopped Yang Guozhong's horse and complained to him that he had no food.  Someone shouted: "Yang Guozhong and the Hu people are rebelling." This lit the powder keg.  Immediately many soldiers took out their bows and arrows and shot at Yang Guozhong.  When Yang Guozhong saw something was wrong, he turned his horse and fled.  He fled to the west gate of Ma Zaipo, but was chased by soldiers and dismembered alive. His head was hung on a spear and thrust into the west gate for public display.  Then the rebels killed his son Yang Xuan, the minister of household affairs, and his wife Han Guo and Qin Guo's wife.  Wei Fangjin, the imperial censor, said: "You are so bold that you dare to kill the prime minister." The soldiers killed him again.  Wei Jiansu heard the commotion outside and ran out to see. He was beaten with whips by the rebels and his head was bleeding.  Wei Jiansu was Wei Cou's son, although he did not dare to speak in the court due to the power of Yang Guozhong.  But he is not too bad, and there are many officials in the local area.  Someone recognized him and hurriedly said: "Don't hurt Xianggong Wei." Only then was he lucky enough to save his life.  Soldiers surrounded the inn again, and Li Longji asked what was going on.  The attendants said that Yang Guozhong was rebelling.  Li Longji knew that it was impossible for Yang Guozhong to rebel. This was just a way for the soldiers to vent their anger, so he had no choice but to walk out of the post gate, comfort the sergeants, and order them to withdraw.  But the soldiers disagreed.  So Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to question again.  At this time, Chen Xuanli replied: "Yang Guozhong was punished for his rebellion, but Yang Guifei should no longer serve your majesty. May your majesty cut off his love and execute Yang Guifei." This is the goal of the rebels. Why does Li Longji not deal with political affairs, just to confuse Yang Yuhuan?  Living.  Li Longji entered the post station and stood in silence for a long time, leaning on a cane.  In a few days, he aged ten years.  After a while, Minister Wei E stepped forward and said: "Now the public is angry, the situation is critical, and safety is at stake in a moment. I hope your Majesty will make a decision soon." After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed, with blood streaming from his face.  Li Longji said: "Concubine Yang was in a heavily guarded palace and did not make friends with outsiders. How could she know that Yang Guozhong had rebelled?" Gao Lishi said a fair word: "Concubine Yang was indeed not guilty, but the soldiers killed Yang Guozhong. The concubine was not guilty.  They can't feel at ease serving His Majesty. I hope your Majesty will think about it carefully, and your Majesty will be safe." Li Longji didn't say anything and stood there until the noise outside became louder and louder.  The strongman led Concubine Yang into the Buddhist hall and strangled her with a rope.  But when he heard Yang Yuhuan's miserable cry, Li Longji burst into tears.  At this moment, there were more than a thousand people outside, riding horses and galloping in from the west. The leading soldier was dressed very differently from the Central Plains soldiers, but his appearance was that of a Central Plains person.  While he was galloping on horseback, he shouted: "The knife will save the person." I don't know, and I don't know whether to use poison, rope, or knife. Anyway, he said, "The knife will save the person."  Wang Hua is back []
