After a while, I saw the eunuch just now walking over with a bearded barbarian general wearing dark armor.
This man was not tall, but he was white and fat.
He walked like a duck.
This man As he approached, he knelt down on the ground and saluted Xuanzong: "I, An Lushan, pay homage to our Emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live."
I don't know what happened to Xuanzong, but he liked An Lushan very much when he saw him.
He quickly stood up, pulled An Lushan up, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "The Anqing family is exempt from courtesy, how is the situation in Yingzhou?"
An Lushan patted his chest with a carefree look and boasted: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as I, An Lushan, are in Yingzhou, the Shiwei people, Jiemo people, and Khitan people will have to stay in the mountains."
They didn't dare to come out.
Last year, several Khitan leaders brought their people to harass them several times, and looted thousands of people, countless grain, grass, cattle and sheep.
The minister sent people to invite them to come out for negotiations.
They They arrived unsuspectingly with dozens of guards.
The minister put the anesthetic hyacinth in the wine.
After they drank and passed out, the minister immediately ordered their heads to be chopped off and buried in a pit dug in advance.
In the process, these people died unknowingly, dozens of them at a time, and after they were so enjoyable a few times, the Khitan people became afraid and no longer dared to send them to plunder."
"Hahaha" Xuanzong couldn't stop laughing after hearing this.
The funny look of An Lushan trying to please him when he spoke and the despicable means he used to deal with the Khitans made Xuanzong very happy.
Zhao Ziliang and some of the ministers next to him looked gloomy when they heard this, and they all cursed An Lushan in their hearts for being stupid, using anesthesia to anesthetize the leader of the Khitan people who came to negotiate.
This kind of despicable method can be done.
This method can be used one at a time.
Never think again and again that the Khitans are all fools.
The Khitans have multiple tribes. , the former leader died, and the tribesmen will soon introduce a new leader.
If the new leader wants to gain the support and sufficient prestige of the tribesmen, revenge for the former leader is the best way.
Zhao Ziliang and many ministers in the court It is even foreseeable that the situation in Northeast China is likely to undergo major changes.
Xuanzong stopped laughing and introduced An Lushan to the civil servants and generals present.
When Zhao Ziliang was introduced, An Lushan looked at Zhao Ziliang very affectionately and said hello repeatedly.
After the emperor returned to the palace, the civil and military ministers dispersed.
An Lushan immediately caught up with Zhao Ziliang out of breath and said: "I have heard about General Zhao for a long time.
It is a great honor to meet him today.
Today An is the host, in Zuixian Tower.
Put it on the table and ask General Zhao to honor it."
Zhao Ziliang did not want to have anything to do with this damn fat man, so he immediately declined and said: "Zhao accepts General An's kindness.
It's just that Zhao has to deal with the aftermath of the martial arts examination, and also prepares to take up his post in the Shenwu Army. , don’t worry about eating, the days are long.”
An Lushan was a barbarian, so he didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Ziliang's words.
He just knew that Zhao Ziliang had something to do and felt regretful that he couldn't go there, so he said: "General Zhao said, since General Zhao is busy, I won't bother you.
I’ll invite General Zhao to a gathering someday.”
On the way back, Zhao Ziliang really felt a trace of sadness.
There were so many Wencheng generals in the court, but no one just stood up and angrily criticized An Lushan for using such a stupid method to deal with the Khitan people.
But think about it, with the development of the Tang Dynasty to this day, There are indeed many capable officials in the DPRK, but There are very few civil servants and generals who are upright and upright, and all of them have become old officials.
This situation is extremely common among civil servants.
Especially after Li Linfu became prime minister, the ministers in the DPRK became more partisan and upright.
The upright ministers were suppressed one by one by Li Linfu.
He was demoted from the capital and went to serve as an official in other places.
As for the military generals in the court, those who could stay in the court were basically those who were good at maneuvering the camps, but there were very few generals who had outstanding military talents and knew how to fight. , the generals who know how to fight are all in the frontier army, but the generals in the DPRK are all drunkards.
It is no wonder that after the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Xuanzong could not find a general who could fight in the court.
He could only ask Feng Changqing, who came to the court to report on his duties, to take some untrained young soldiers to block Anshi.

Even if Feng Changqing has extraordinary power, he still cannot defeat Lushan's army.
After returning home, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to find Wang Can and asked: "Recently, a man named An Lushan came to Chang'an.
He is the governor of Yingzhou and the military envoy of Pinglu.
Do you know him?"
Wang Can nodded and said: "I heard from the people below that this person seems to be coming to Chang'an for the first time, but several of the captains he brought with him all participated in this martial arts examination, and several of them even made the list to participate.
We have competed for the ranking of the three rankings of Heaven, Earth and Humanity, and the most outstanding one is a man named Cui Qianyou.
My subordinates also just heard that this person has won the first place on the Heaven Ranking.
Why are the generals asking about this?"
Zhao Ziliang raised his finger and said: "An Lushan brought six people, all of whom were in his army.
Five of them won the martial arts examination, two entered the semi-finals, and one became the martial arts champion.
Don’t you think we need to focus on Anlu Mountain?”
Wang Can said doubtfully: "There are quite a lot of talents under An Lushan, but it seems that apart from showing that he loves talents and likes to win over talents, it can't explain other problems, right?
Do we need to focus on him?
And Yingzhou is too It is too far away and it is inconvenient to send information back and forth, and our intelligence system has not yet developed to Hebei Province."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to stop Wang Can, "Forget it, set up a separate stronghold in Yingzhou to keep an eye on Anlu Mountain.
I want to know what's going on in Yingzhou at any time."
Seeing Zhao Ziliang's determination, Wang Can nodded and agreed: "Promise" Zhao Ziliang added: "An Lushan may have placed his own spies in Chang'an to collect information about the court's movements, ministers and the emperor.
Find this person and monitor him closely, but you are not allowed to be discovered by him."
"promise" After sending Wang Can away, Zhao Ziliang went to the room in the west wing where Nie Sanniang was recovering from her injuries.
This time Nie Sanniang was seriously injured.
Although she had woken up, she could not get up and could only lie on the bed to rest.
The maid serving Nie Sanniang saw Zhao Ziliang come in and said a blessing: "Master" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and sent her out.
When he came to the bedside, he saw Nie Sanniang looking at him with her eyes open, so he asked: "The martial arts examination and the palace examination are being held these days.
I am really busy and have no time to come over.
I heard you woke up, so I came over to see how you feel."
Nie Sanniang asked: "Why do you save me and I kill you many times?
Don't you hate me?"
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Then why do you want to prevent other assassins from killing me?"
Nie Sanniang said coldly: "Because you are mine and only I can kill you.
If anyone wants to kill you, they have to ask me if I agree with the sword in my hand."
Zhao Ziliang leaned over and smiled: "Stop talking what you mean, you like me."
After hearing this, Nie Sanniang sat up from the bed with a loud "fart" like a cat whose tail was stepped on, but then lay down again with a scream of "ouch" due to the pulling of the wound.
Zhao Ziliang quickly stretched out his hand to hold her down and said: "Don't be excited, don't be excited.
You can talk as you see.
Why don't you sit up and talk to me if you have something to say?
I said you like me, so it would be great if you admitted it openly.
Why do you have to save face and suffer?"
You must like me, otherwise you wouldn’t risk your life to stop assassins from killing me again and again.
Besides, I can't think of any other reason for you to do this.
Don't tell me that your mission is not over until you kill me.
The employer has sent people to kill you and silence you.
You have also killed your employer's lackeys.
It can be said that you have fallen out with your employer and the employment relationship between you has ended."
"Let go, let me go."
Nie Sanniang reached out to hit Zhao Ziliang's hand angrily.

Zhao Ziliang could only let go of his hand, stood up and said: "Stop acting like a child.
You can rest here to recover.
After your injury is healed, we will get married.
You should have a stable home.
I know people like you A woman who is used to living in the world doesn't bother to be a concubine.
When you marry me, you and Qingying are both wives, no matter how big or small.
She is the eldest lady and you are the second lady.
What do you think?"
Nie Sanniang's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she said angrily: "Whoever wants to marry you, you go away."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Although you say you don't agree, in fact you are willing to do so.
This matter is settled.
Qingying will arrange it personally.
You can just wait to be the bride and drink the wedding banquet.
Haha Ha ha".
"You" Nie Sanniang wanted to say something again, but Zhao Ziliang had already left with a smile.
Regardless of whether they were Wen Jinshi or Wu Jinshi, they quickly got their appointment documents.
Some people got good official positions, and some people got bad official positions.
But in any case, these people really entered the officialdom, and those who were themselves People who are lieutenant colonels in the army have been promoted in military rank and rank.
With the status of Wu Jinshi, these people will definitely be promoted smoothly in the future.
Zhao Ziliang was not in charge of allocating the martial arts scholars.
After the martial arts examination, Zhao Ziliang quickly handed over the duties of the Ministry of War and took up his post in the Zuo Shenwu Army.
The Zuo Shenwu Army only had three thousand soldiers and horses, but they did not have many duties in the palace.
When Zhao Ziliang went to take office, the generals and officials of the Zuo Shenwu Army were very honest and did not dare to play any tricks in front of him.
The experience of serving in the capital made the generals and officials of the Zuo Shenwu Army very familiar.
No one dared to do anything wrong, so he took over the leadership of the Zuo Shenwu Army smoothly. took power, and began to carry out drastic rectification, restoring and strengthening daily drills, and improving military discipline.
The soldiers and generals of the Shenwu Army were all people who had been rotated from the border.
They all had actual combat experience in killing enemies on the battlefield, and some of them still killed people like hemp.
The strong generals and soldiers, after only a short period of training, quickly regained their combat effectiveness under the condition of strict military discipline.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since Zhao Ziliang took office in the Zuo Shenwu Army, military affairs have quickly gotten back on track.
In the first month of the first year of Tianbao, an urgent messenger came from the border gate.
After reading the battle report at the border gate, the emperor was so angry that he smashed many things.
He immediately issued an order to summon all the civil and military officials to discuss matters in the Zichen Palace.
General Zhao Ziliang and Zuo Shenwu also You must enter the palace to participate in the court meeting.
After the court meeting began, the emperor immediately told the details of the Eight Hundred Miles Expedited.
It turned out that after Gai Jiayun became the governor of Hexi Province, he only focused on pleasure and neglected armament and defense, which gave Tubo the opportunity to send troops in one fell swoop.
After seizing the strategic location of Shibao City and using it as a base to launch an all-out attack on Hexi, Gai Jiayun could not resist and had to retreat one after another, losing a large area of land and the north-south width of the Hexi Corridor was also greatly shortened
