Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 242 Tang Xuanzong's Wrath

Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Changzhou, directly opened the city gate and surrendered, which made An Lushan very happy.

"Okay! Hahahaha, I like people who know current affairs best! Come on, reward Yan Gaoqing with a goldfish bag and a purple robe!" Seeing Yan Gaoqing greet him respectfully, An Lushan laughed loudly, and rewarded Yan Gaoqing with an important Meaningful goldfish bag and purple robe!

Changzhou is a large state in Hebei Province, located in a very important position in Hebei Province. Once the city of Changzhou is broken, Hebei Province will have almost no force to resist, and it will soon be completely occupied by Anlu Mountain.

As Yan Gaoqing expected, An Lushan still let him stay as the prefect of Changzhou, but he wanted to take his two sons as hostages.This was beyond Yan Gaoqing's expectation.

After taking Changzhou, the remaining states and counties in Hebei Province also gave up their resistance and surrendered to Anlu Mountain, and the entire Hebei Province fell into the hands of Anlu Mountain.

An Lushan no longer just attacked all the way, but sent his subordinates Shi Siming, Cai Xide and other generals to divide their troops into multiple routes and sweep across the entire north of the Yellow River.

Taiyuan is the place where the royal family of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty prospered. Although it is located in the territory of Hedong Road, it is the largest and strongest city in Hedong Road, but it is not under the control of Hedong Road.

If An Lushan wants to completely control the entire territory north of the Yellow River, he must take Taiyuan City.

Therefore, as early as when Boling was defeated, An Lushan sent his generals He Qiannian and Gao Miao to Taiyuan City with dozens of cavalry before the news of his rebellion reached Taiyuan City.

After staying in Taiyuan, his name was Yang Guanghui. At this time, he didn't know that An Lushan had rebelled, because Taiyuan City was located in the territory of Hedong Road, and Anlu Mountain was also the governor of Hedong Road. Because of the title of county king, Yang Guanghui saw two generals from An Lushan coming here, thinking that Anlushan had something important to do, so he didn't dare to neglect, and went out of the city to greet him without thinking too much.

How could he know that just after he appeared in front of He Qiannian and Gao Miao, several guards around him were shot dead by He Qiannian and Gao Miao.

"You are--" Yang Guanghui turned pale with shock, pointing at He Qiannian and Gao Miao.

At this time, He Qiannian had already charged towards Yang Guanghui.

Yang Guanghui wanted to turn around and flee back to Taiyuan City, but it was too late, and he was slapped to the ground by He Qiannian.

He Qiannian and Gao Miao captured Yang Guanghong, led dozens of fierce iron cavalry under him, charged Yang Guanghui into Taiyuan City.

With the cooperation of the internal staff who had been arranged in Taiyuan City earlier, He Qiannian and Gao Miao took Taiyuan City without bloodshed.

Taiyuan City was easily destroyed, and several armies sent by An Lushan from Changzhou City also swept across the entire north of the Yellow River at an unstoppable speed.

Julu, Zhaozhou, Pingyuan County and other cities north of the Yellow River fell one after another.

An Lushan personally led an army all the way to Xiangzhou. As long as Xiangzhou is broken again, there will be no force to resist Anlushan in the north of the Yellow River. Anlushan can cross the Yellow River with confidence and attack Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Anton Protectorate.

"Master Jiedu, An Lushan dared to rebel! Your Majesty treats him well. How dare he have such ambitions to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty!" Du Fu was shocked and heartbroken. Lushan suddenly raised troops to rebel, and 20 troops went south, which would bring devastating disasters to many innocent people.

The actual strength of An Lushan is only 15, but it is claimed to be 20. Without any real investigation or actual combat with An Lushan, people like Du Fu can only hear performances.

Compared to Du Fu who was more worried about the country and the people, Li Fei, Lu Xin, Wu Sheng, Zhang Shuo and others were not surprised.Especially Li Fei, he already knew that An Lushan would raise troops to rebel, he even knew the approximate time and the actual strength of the troops, and he was already prepared in his heart.

At this time, upon hearing the news of An Lushan's rebellion, Li Fei's face was serious, nothing else.

Li Fei was thinking about what he should do.

Although the Anton Governor's Mansion is connected to Pinglu Road, one of Anlu Mountain's lairs, Anlu Mountain must have left an elite garrison on Pinglu Road to guard against him. He has only [-] Andong troops under his command. It is not easy to attack Pingludao.

Moreover, Anlu Mountain has not yet crossed the Yellow River, so he can return to aid at any time. Even if he captures Pinglu Road at any cost, once An Lushan sends troops back to aid, the strength under his command will not be enough to resist.

Furthermore, Li Fei has another idea, and he doesn't want to lose too much power under his command before this.

"Pinglu Road is not desirable, but it is not difficult for the Khitan and Xi people to obtain it!" Li Fei's eyes flashed a sharp light, and he had already made a decision.

The news of Anlushan's rebellion finally reached Chang'an City when Anlushan took Changzhou.

In the palace, Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Yang are enjoying singing and dancing.

Concubine Yang hugged the little princess Yongping, and sitting next to Tang Xuanzong, she couldn't help teasing the little princess herself. Obviously, she was more interested in her own daughter than in enjoying singing and dancing.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty didn't feel bored either, he said that only when he truly loves a woman can he love Wu Jiwu and the "crystallization" born of her.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was also getting old, and he had a daughter who was born with Concubine Yang. He also loved this little princess who was not long ago. Looking at Concubine Yang and the mother and daughter of the little princess, he also felt relieved by his old age. With a smile on my face.

This is undoubtedly a warm scene.

Suddenly, an urgent report came in.

"Report——, urgent report from the front!" Following the voice, a soldier with a flag representing the [-]-mile rush rushes in, kneels on the ground with an urgent report in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Tang Xuanzong asked with a jump in his heart.

"An Lushan, the king of Dongping County, in the name of the Qing emperor, raised 20 troops in Youzhou City to rebel!"

"What, Lushan, Lushan—it's reversed!" Tang Xuanzong's face changed drastically in shock, and he stood up abruptly, but then staggered and couldn't stand still, and sat back down again.

"Sanlang!" Seeing Tang Xuanzong's loss of composure, Concubine Yang also exclaimed.

Tang Xuanzong really lost his composure. He has been on the throne for so many years, and he has never had such a gaffe.

Anlu Mountain is reversed, and Anlu Mountain is reversed!
This sentence kept exploding in his mind, which was unbelievable and extremely disappointing.

Tang Xuanzong imagined how kind and trusting he was to An Lushan in the past, and even he couldn't be summoned repeatedly. Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing jointly said that An Lushan had ambitions, but he stubbornly didn't believe it.However, the reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

At this time, Tang Xuanzong only felt that his face was hot, and his heart was full of shame.

"An Lushan, I treat you sincerely, but you treat me like this!" Tang Xuanzong roared angrily, his face extremely ferocious.

"Order all the officials to discuss the matter, and I want to kill the Anlu Mountain rebels!"
