An Lushan arranged for Sun Xiaozhe to lead an army of 100,000 troops to march westward to attack Chang'an.
After that, he asked the ministers: "Do you have anything else to report?"
Prime Minister Yan Zhuang stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, Shi Siming sent someone to report that it is difficult to defeat Li Guangbi's troops with the strength of his current troops.
Therefore, he requested the imperial court to send a troop of troops to the north to attack Li Guangbi with him and open up the way to our country.
North-South Transportation” The interruption of the retreat also made An Lushan very anxious.
In the past, Tongguan was controlled by the Tang army, which posed a strategic threat to Luoyang and other surrounding places.
Now Tongguan is controlled by himself, although there are still soldiers from the west and north.
The threat from Tingjun, but this threat is no longer great.
As long as Tongguan and Hedong Yongji are guarded, It is not easy for the Tang army to threaten Luoyang by controlling the Yellow River waterway.
Moreover, it has already sent 100,000 troops to the west.
There is no need to worry about threats from the west for the time being.
The Tang court in the south controls Nanyang and Yong in the east.
Qiu is more self-preserving than aggressive, so it is unlikely that he will pose a threat to his own Yan Dynasty.
An Lushan thought for a moment and then said to the ministers: "Send a force of troops and horses with Shi Siming to attack Li Guangbi from the north and south.
It is imperative to open up our north-south communication lines.
I don't know which general is willing to lead the troops north."
Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi looked at each other, stood up and clasped their fists together and said: "Your Majesty, we are willing to lead the troops north to attack Li Guangbi with Shi Siming."
"You guys" An Lushan looked at the two most capable generals under his command with confusion, and didn't understand why both of them stood up.
Upon seeing this, Yan Zhuang smiled sinisterly and said, "Two generals, it's possible that when you two saw Zhao Ziliang coming with his troops, you remembered the friendship between teachers and students and didn't want to fight against him."
After being reminded by Yan Zhuang, An Lushan and the officials remembered that Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi were Zhao Ziliang's examiners during the martial arts examination.
According to the thinking of this era, these two people were Zhao Ziliang's students.
No wonder this The two asked to lead their troops northward to avoid confrontation with Zhao Ziliang.
In fact, the reason why Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi took the initiative to stand up was not only because it was difficult to erase the friendship between teachers and students.
On the other hand, they did not have the confidence to face Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang was a general who had been famous for many years.
When he was already a man with extremely rich battlefield experience and numerous military exploits, When they were generals, Tian Chengsi, Cui Qianyou and others were just unknown soldiers.
For so many years, Zhao Ziliang has never been defeated and is invincible.
Facing such a person, they really can't muster the courage to face him.
Of course, Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi would not say that they did not have the courage to fight against Zhao Ziliang.
This was a shame for the warriors.
They just said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, we really can't forgive you.
If we fight against our mentor, , how will you face the world's long mouth?"
An Lushan did not speak, and Yan Zhuang immediately scolded: "Two generals, among the three relationships between monarch and minister, father and son, and teacher and student, the relationship between monarch and minister obviously ranks first.
As the saying goes, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both.
Could it be that these two generals just "You have forgotten that His Majesty has valued and supported the two generals over the years.
Your relationship with Zhao Ziliang is just a small righteousness.
In the face of great righteousness, small righteousness is nothing."
These words left Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi speechless.
An Lushan smiled at the right moment to appease the two of them and said: "The two generals are my right-hand men.
I can't live without you.
Zhao Ziliang is indeed a very powerful person.
This is not because I want to inflate other people's ambitions and destroy my own prestige.
This is a fact.
Zhao Ziliang has been there for many years."
Fight against all odds There is no invincible victory, and the record is not just a boast.

I have to admit this.
The two generals are his students and should know something about him.
Therefore, I need the assistance of the two generals here.
The two generals can stay with peace of mind.
By my side" Having said this, Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi had no choice but to agree: "I will obey the order."
An Lushan looked at the other generals and said to Cai Xide: "General Cai, I order you to lead 20,000 troops north to attack Li Guangbi with Shi Siming.
We will set off immediately."
The bearded Cai Xide stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I obey the order."
Fifteen miles east of Chang'an, Baqiao, is the Beiting Army Camp.
In the commander's tent, Zhao Ziliang, who was fully clothed, stood in front of the map and measured the distance on the map with a ruler.
Wang Can walked in and clasped his fists to report: "Commander, our intelligence system in the Central Plains has been fully activated.
We have just received the report from Two pieces of news came from Luoyang insiders: First, An Lushan had ordered Sun Xiaozhe to lead an army of 100,000 to march westward at the court in Luoyang yesterday. , the goal is that if our army defeats our army, we can seize the second place in Chang'an.
Shi Siming sent people to Luoyang to ask An Lushan to send a troop of troops north to attack Li Guangbi's troops with him.
Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi both wanted to lead their troops north. , but were blocked by Prime Minister Yan Zhuang, who also pointed out their teacher-student relationship with the commander-in-chief.
Finally, An Lushan sent General Cai Xide to lead 20,000 troops northward."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziliang turned around and asked Cen Shen, who was handling official documents next to him: "Mr.
Cen, what do you think?"
Cen Shen said: "I am wondering whether Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi can fight for it.
As long as Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi can be instigated to rebel, An Lushan will not be able to stand in Luoyang."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and shook his head: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is almost impossible.
I have a relationship with Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi and others, but this relationship is not enough to make them betray An Lushan.
However, this relationship can be used by us at a critical moment."
Cen Shen was such a smart man, but he still didn't understand what Zhao Ziliang meant.
His eyes lit up: "What the general means."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and sighed: "That's right, soldiers, deceptions are also about winning, even if they do whatever it takes.
Although they are my students, they must be sacrificed for the sake of the world.
Mr.
Cen, please make a memo about this matter.
If one day the two of them really confront me, they will use this strategy."
Cen Shen raised his hand and agreed: "I understand."
Zhao Ziliang measured the distance from Luoyang to Changshan on the map with his ruler, turned around and said: "It will take at least five or six days for Cai Xide's 20,000 troops to prepare food and grass.
It should be too late for us to inform Li Guangbi of the news and ask him to do it earlier."
After receiving the news, Wang Can made plans in advance and contacted Tai immediately.
The intelligence station over there reported this news to Mr.
Li Guangbi.
Please draft a military order to Li Guangbi in the name of the Marshal of the counter-rebellion army, so that he can act according to the opportunity.
We do not have the troops to go north to support him for the time being.
If it is true, If you can't resist it, save your strength and retreat to Jingxing Pass."
Cen Shen and Wang Can clasped their fists and said: "Promise" The two of them went about their business.
Zhao Ziliang took a ruler and muttered to himself: "The soldiers have been resting for more than ten days.
It's time for them to move."
"Come here, tell all the future armies to proceed to the camp to discuss matters."
After receiving the order, the generals and generals from various ministries rushed to the central army camp.
Zhao Ziliang saw that everyone else had arrived, but did not see Chu Ge, so he asked: "Why hasn't Chu Ge arrived yet?"
A subordinate nearby reminded: "Didn't the marshal put him in charge of cleaning up the ministers, officials and nobles in Chang'an City who surrendered to the rebels a few days ago?

He has been in the city for the past two days and has not returned to the military camp."
Only then did Zhao Ziliang remember and nodded: "Okay, I understand.
Now let's start discussing.
We just got the news that An Lushan sent Sun Xiaozhe to command 100,000 troops to attack us.
This is the imperial edict issued by An Lushan yesterday.
Mobilizing an army of 100,000 people for marching and fighting will take at least ten days of preparation time, so we still need time.
Now that the soldiers have rested for several days, it is time to stretch their muscles.
I originally planned to Even though they were waiting for An Lushan's army to arrive, they didn't expect that they would wait and react until now.
From this point of view, since An Lushan captured Luoyang, he is afraid that his desire to enter is not that strong.
This is a good thing for us, but we can't wait for them here all the time.
The morale of the soldiers has been fully restored.
If we wait any longer, the morale will drop again.
In this case, we might as well take the initiative."
Having said this, Zhao Ziliang walked to the side of the nearby map, pointed on the map with a ruler and said: "I intend to send a vanguard all the way east to capture Weinan, Huayin and Feng Ling before the arrival of Anlu Mountain's 100,000 troops. , after capturing Feng Ling, they immediately divided their forces to capture Yong At Fengcang and the Yellow River Ferry, if conditions permit, we can collect the ships and take the opportunity to cross the river and capture Pujin Pass.
In this way, the rebels' 100,000-strong army should be a little intimidated.
At this time, we will fight with their 100,000-strong army.
What do the generals think of the decisive battle under Tongguan City?"
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's battle strategy, the generals all whispered to each other and nodded from time to time.
At this time, Li Sheng stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Commander, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the troops to attack Weinan, Huayin, Feng Ling and Pujinguan, and open the way for the main force of the army."
Zhao Ziliang looked back and forth several times on Li Sheng's face and the faces of other generals, and finally landed on Li Sheng's face and asked: "How many troops do you need?"
Li Sheng said: "The general only needs three thousand light cavalry, which is enough.
I also ask the commander to lend his tiger tooth soldiers to the general."
There are five hundred Tiger Tooth Soldiers in total.
This is a special unit trained by Zhao Ziliang personally to seize passes, spy on intelligence, ambush, and assassinate enemy generals.
Each of these soldiers climb over walls, climb over mountains and ridges, and cross rivers and wades as if they were walking on the ground. , such a capable army will have a title that everyone is familiar with in later generations: "Special Forces."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "You are welcome, you are thinking about my Huya soldiers.
There are only 500 Huya soldiers.
I will give you two hundred.
In addition, I will increase it to 5,000 Qingqi.
But you have to do it within ten days."
Complete the above tasks within days” Li Sheng promised: "The general will obey his orders."
Zheng San next to him asked curiously: "General Li, although the city walls in Weinan, Huayin and Feng Ling are not as good as Chang'an City, they are not mud walls.
How can you attack the city with only light cavalry?"
Li Sheng laughed: "I have my own clever plan to seize the city, so I won't bother Master Zheng
