Of course, Sun Xiaozhe was extremely afraid of death.
Especially at this time, if An Lushan no longer favored him, he would undoubtedly die.
He repeatedly kowtowed and apologized: "Your Majesty, I know that I deserve to die for my crime, and I am not responsible for the defeat."
It is understandable that the general will not think that he is incompetent, and it is not that the soldiers are too cowardly, but that the enemy is too capable and cunning."
General Neng Yuanhao stood up and accused: "Huh, you boosted other people's ambitions and destroyed your own prestige.
Sun Xiaozhe, you are still excusing yourself.
Zhao Ziliang wants to send people to stay in the camp, and there are only more than 20,000 people who can actually be dispatched." , and you have an army of 100,000, and you have 10,000 elite cavalry to fight head-on.
In this case, you are killed and defeated.
It’s not that you are incompetent.”
Sun Xiaozhe jumped up in anger and cursed: "Neng Yuanhao, it doesn't hurt to stand and talk.
The more than 20,000 in Zhao Ziliang's hands are all elite cavalry who have experienced hundreds of battles, and there are thousands of armored heavy cavalry.
These armored heavy cavalry Rushing over, it was like a divine blockade, plus a large number of light cavalry on the left and right flanks of our army.
Taking turns to shoot, my 10,000 fine cavalry couldn't stop them at all.
The opponent's cavalry were all covered in thick iron armor and were invulnerable.
Their spear array was overwhelmed by them in one fell swoop.
The 20,000 sword and shield soldiers were like paper in front of this kind of cavalry. , it has no effect at all.
This kind of battle will result in a disastrous failure no matter who directs it."
An Lushan knew Sun Xiaozhe very well.
He knew that although Sun Xiaozhe was very arrogant, he was very strict in his behavior and never showed any mercy in his actions.
Such people generally would not excuse themselves.
Since Sun Xiaozhe dared to say this, he could only It shows that the army under Zhao Ziliang is really powerful.
An Lushan was not someone who trusted others easily.
He looked at Yin Ziqi and asked, "Yin Ziqi, tell me what the situation was like at that time."
Yin Ziqi clasped his fists and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, colleagues, it's not that I will absolve General Sun and myself from the blame, nor is it that I will boost others' ambitions and destroy my own prestige.
The cavalry under Zhao Ziliang's command is too powerful.
Your Majesty has never seen it with your own eyes." , if it is our cavalry, as long as there are more than a thousand people, when running at high speed, This will inevitably cause the formation to be scattered, but the cavalry under Zhao Ziliang can maintain consistent movements and orderly formation even if ten thousand horses are galloping together.
Their cavalry are extremely skilled in horse control, and their riding and shooting skills are even worse than those of the barbarians on the grassland.
It's also hard to compare, especially those thousands of armored heavy cavalry, the momentum of which is so simple when charging.
It was beyond words.
When they rushed in front of them, the general thought that no one in the world had the courage to face the 20,000 sword and shield soldiers.
He was so frightened that he collapsed instantly before these thousands of armored heavy cavalry could rush in front of him. , at the critical moment, Zhao Ziliang also sent a partial division to somehow reach the rear of our army's camp and suddenly After attacking the camp, the soldiers saw the thick smoke billowing over the camp, and they all collapsed on the spot.
The general must honestly say that if it was a field battle, let alone 100,000 people, even if it was doubled, even if it was 200,000, Even one person cannot stand up to Zhao Ziliang's 20,000 cavalry.
This kind of battle cannot be won with more people."
An Lushan frowned and said, "Zhao Ziliang's soldiers and horses are so powerful."
Yin Ziqi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty should know the fighting strength of Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu's troops, right?
They were under Zhao Ziliang's command back then.
Even they themselves said that they only learned 20% of their skills from Zhao Ziliang.
Now they have the means to command and train troops.
How many people in our army can match this?"
An Lushan recalled watching the exercises of the Datong Army and the Mobei Army in Datong and Mobei a few years ago.
At that time, he tried his best to win over and bribe Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu.
According to Yin Ziqi, this Zhao Ziliang was still It's really hard to deal with After being silent for a while, An Lushan looked at Sun Xiaozhe.
Logically speaking, Sun Xiaozhe returned from a disastrous defeat and should be executed.
However, he really couldn't kill Sun Xiaozhe because Sun Xiaozhe's mother, An Lushan, was young.
When I was with this Sun Xiao Zhe's mother has such an affair.

He is particularly attached to his grandson's mother.
He also likes Sun Xiaozhe very much and has special trust in her.
Now that grandson's mother is still alive, what if he kills Sun Xiaozhe and meets his old lover in the future?
explain Just when An Lushan was riding a tiger and was in trouble, Prime Minister Gao Shang saw An Lushan's dilemma.
He laughed secretly in his heart, stood up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, General Yin's words are not unreasonable.
The Beiting Army's field combat ability is too great."
Strong, our army was not unjustly defeated in this battle.
Fortunately, most of the 100,000 troops lost this time were Tang troops who surrendered.
The losses were If it is lost, it is lost.
The main force of our army is still there.
Your Majesty, there is no need to worry.
In addition, we have tested the combat strength of the Beiting Army through this time.
We should be more careful in the future.
General Sun and General Yin, although they were defeated, they were not guilty.
Death, now that our dynasty is in the midst of employing people, and they also had many Miyaze in the past, it would be better to allow them to take advantage of their crimes and perform meritorious deeds."
As the prime minister, Gao Shang naturally had a group of officials under his command.
These officials all stood up to support him.
They were naturally happy that An Lushan had a step to go to.
He immediately said: "Well, since Prime Minister Gao and all the ministers have interceded for you, , I will spare you this time, Sun Xiaozhe, you will stay in the court as the palace supervisor and the stable envoy.
Since Yin Qizhi, I order you to lead the troops to attack Yongqiu."
Yin Ziqi immediately agreed: "The last general will obey the order."
An Lushan still admires and is optimistic about Yin Ziqi's ability to lead troops in war.
Although Yin Ziqi failed miserably as Sun Xiaozhe's deputy general this time, An Lushan still trusts and is optimistic about Yin Ziqi.
At this time, the Yan army's eastward advance was blocked by Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and others and could not advance at Yongqiu.
Yan army generals Ling Huchao, Li Huaixian, Yang Chaozong and Xie Yuandong were leading an army of 40,000 to attack Yongqiu.
Qiu County There were Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and others stationed in the city.
Zhang Xun was resourceful and tenacious, while Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and others were brave enough.
Linghu Chao, Li Huaixian and others attacked for a long time.
No less.
Linghuchao was originally the magistrate of Yongqiu County.
After the Anlushan rebels arrived, he led the garrison in the city to surrender, and also helped the rebels attack Tang Junzhou County.
Later, Zhenyuan County Magistrate Zhang Xun and Shanxian County Lieutenant Jia Ben and others The cavalry responded to the court's call to attack the rebels and counterattacked all the way to Yongqiu.
They took advantage of Linghu Chao to meet the Yan army general Li Tingwang and recaptured Yongqiu in one fell swoop.
An Lushan was about to announce the disbandment of the dynasty.
At this time, a Hongling messenger rushed to the palace to pay homage and loudly said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Tongguan 800 miles away.
More than 20,000 Tang troops have arrived at Tongguan City.
The general will lead the troops.
Deputy Marshal, Minister of the Ministry of War, Protector of the Beiting Protectorate, and Military Envoy Zhao Ziliang."
An Lushan took a breath, "Why did he and the Tang army come so fast?
He just swallowed my 100,000 troops.
Before he could digest it, he went straight to Tongguan.
Isn't he afraid of dying?"
Prime Minister Yan Zhuang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, most of those 100,000 troops are the Tang troops who surrendered to our army.
It's not surprising that they surrender again this time.
Zhao Ziliang doesn't need to send anyone to keep an eye on them.

He just needs to Replace a few major generals and we can immediately go to the battlefield to fight.
Now we still need to strengthen the defense of Tongguan.
Pujin Pass has been lost.
If Tongguan is lost again, Luoyang will be in danger."
An Lushan frowned and asked: "Tongguan currently only has 5,000 troops.
Is the force too thin?"
Tian Chengsi stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Tongguan is naturally dangerous.
Even if its defense force is on the east, it will not be easy for the Tang army to capture the west wall.
However, adding more troops to defend will give them greater confidence.
General Li Guiren sex Qing Yanjin, with him guarding Tongguan, even if the Tang army is commanded by Marshal Zhao to attack the city, it cannot be captured in a short time.
And what we have to be careful about is not Tongguan, what we have to be careful about is to prevent the Tang army from crossing the river from Pujin Pass to attack Shaanxi County."
Being reminded by Tian Chengsi, An Lushan was immediately startled and immediately asked someone to bring the map of Kanyu.
The Yan army generals and courtiers looked at the map and found that if the Tang army sent troops from Pujin Pass, they could threaten Anyi.
They can also sail eastward along the Yellow River, skip Lingbao, and attack Shaanxi Province.
Once Shaanxi County is lost, the Tang army can directly threaten Luoyang.
After all, An Lushan had been a military envoy and military envoy for so many years, and he was a man who knew the military.
He immediately issued an order: "Give Li Guiren in Tongguan an additional 10,000 Neng Yuanhao troops.
I will give you 10,000 troops, and you will give me Guarding Shaanxi County, something went wrong, please come and see me."
"Follow the decree" An Lushan thought of Wu Lingxun, Bi Sichen and others who were attacking Nanyang in the south, and asked: "How is the progress of Wu Lingxun and Bi Sichen in Nanyang?"
Yan Zhuang stood up and handed over his hands and reported: "Your Majesty, General Wu and General Bi are still attacking Nanyang.
However, Shannan Jiedushi and Nanyang defender Lu Jiong are extremely stubborn, have rich experience in defending the city, and the soldiers under their command have sacrificed their lives.
The two generals suddenly It is difficult to capture Nanyang" After Anlu Mountain rebelled, Xuanzong ordered Bi Sichen to go to Luoyang to recruit troops to defend against the enemy, but he was quickly defeated and captured by the rebel general Cui Qianyou, so he surrendered to Anlu Mountain, and Anlu Mountain severely punished him.
Yong, appointed him as Wu Lingxun's deputy general, accompanied Wu Lingxun on the southern expedition, first defeated Lu Jiong at Shuishui, and then followed Wu Lingxun to pursue Lu Jiong all the way to Nanyang.
The two sides were in a stalemate at the gate of Nanyang City.
Lu Jiong was originally the general of Longyou.
He was promoted to the general of Wuwei because he followed Ge Shuhan to capture Shibao City by force.
He then led his troops to raid the Tibetan army and was promoted to the general of the right army because of his meritorious service.
After the An Lushan rebellion, He was granted the titles of Shannan Jiedushi and Nanyang Grand Administrator, and commanded 50,000 troops in Lingnan, central Guizhou, and Shannan East Road.
An Lushan frowned and said: "This Wu Lingxun, why is the progress so slow?
Let him speed up the attack progress and capture Nanyang as soon as possible."
"Follow the decree" An Lushan asked again: "What progress is there in the north?"
Yan Zhuang said: "Currently, Gao Xiuyan's troops are besieging Dongshoujiang City.
Guo Ziyi is leading his troops to defend the city.
The walls of the Tang army are strong and tall.
Most of Gao Xiuyan's troops are cavalry.
He also cherishes the lives of his soldiers, so he does not dare to attack the city with all his strength; but in the Changshan area, we The military has made breakthrough progress During the exhibition, two generals, Shi Siming and Cai Xide, attacked from the north and south and defeated Li Guangbi's troops.
Li Guangbi retreated to Taiyuan.
The two generals in front of him were reorganizing their troops and raising food and grass to prepare for the westward attack on Taiyuan.
Once our army captured the north of Taiyuan, the entire battle situation would be different.
Our army is much more advantageous.”
An Lushan nodded.
Yan Zhuang was right.
If Taiyuan is captured in the north, there will be no other military forces of the Tang Army in the entire Hedong.
The Yan Army can assist Gao Xiuyan in attacking Guo Ziyi in the north, attack Zhao Ziliang in the south, and survive in the west.
The Yellow River attacks the Hebending area, and even attacks from the west to Lingwu, the home base of Shuofang Army, and the whole chess game becomes alive:
