Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 341 The End of Anlu Mountain
Due to the continuous migration of refugees from Hebei, the population of Anton has increased sharply. I believe that it will not be long before the combined population of Anton and Pinglu will exceed 600 million.

Such a gratifying situation filled Li Fei's face with joy.

Li Fei's goal is to have a population of about 1000 million in Anton. By then, he will be able to develop Anton into a prosperous and prosperous part of the Han civilization. Khitan and the eastern grasslands were developed, and they spent their entire lives assimilating these places.

At that time, there will be no Khitan, no Jurchens, and even no Mongols, only the Han civilization.No matter how the Central Plains changes dynasties in the future, it is really only an internal matter of the Han family. The development of Han civilization will not be interrupted by barbarism.

Because the target is the population, not the territory, Li Fei did not attack Youzhou City, nor did he go deep into Hebei. He only relied on his Anton Iron Cavalry and Modao Army, a total of [-] elites, to look down on Hebei.

The time has entered the second year of Suzong Zhide, the first month.

Luoyang, 'Dayan' Palace.

Li Fei's every move was continuously spread to An Lushan's ears.

Li Fei blatantly snatched the population, and the [-] army looked down on him. Not only was he unable to control the "Da Yan Army" in Youzhou and Hebei, but he was always threatened by Li Fei, and he was extremely useless.

Such a situation made An Lushan even more irritable!

"Waste, they're all a bunch of waste!" An Lushan angrily cursed at the 'Da Yan Civil and Military Officials' in front of him, venting his inner rage.

As history has developed, because An Lushan was too obese, after entering his 50s, his health became worse and worse.

In recent months, not only has An Lushan's vision become blurred, but he has also developed a large number of lumpy sores on his body. The pain is extremely painful, but it is also mixed with itching, but he can't scratch it, which makes An Lushan feel tyrannical. Emotions keep building up.

After An Lushan cursed for a while, he suddenly suffered from sores, his face turned pale, and his obese body began to tremble violently.

The court meeting had to be stopped like this.

The 'Great Yan Civil and Military Officials' at the bottom walked out of the hall wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Because An Lushan's temperament is becoming more and more tyrannical, he will kill ministers if he is a little dissatisfied. Generally speaking, if An Lushan is so angry today, at least one or two officials will be killed for various reasons. Fortunately, An Lushan is ill today. Seizures, the pilgrimage was suddenly stopped, so no one who made a mistake was caught.

However, although nothing happened today, there is still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the days after that will still be difficult.

In the next few days, the physical discomfort made An Lushan even more irritable, and no fewer than ten imperial physicians were executed.

But killing some imperial physicians who could not cure his ailments was obviously impossible to calm down the pent-up anger in An Lushan's heart.So in order to vent his anger, An Lushan beat the maids and eunuchs around him with whips or sticks at every turn.

"Papa-papa--"

In the main hall, the sound of sticks beating echoed.

As the closest eunuch to An Lushan, Li Zhu'er was beaten with sticks by An Lushan for the third time.

Li Zhu'er was originally An Lushan's personal soldier, and he was very good at currying favor with An Lushan.An Lushan couldn't sleep well, and he could only fall asleep under the service of Li Zhuer.After An Lushan rebelled and ascended the throne, in order to keep Li Zhuer serving in the palace, he castrated Li Zhuer as an eunuch.

It is impossible for Li Zhuer not to hate An Lushan for such a good man, but his lifeline is gone like this.Now that he was beaten by An Lushan from time to time, Li Zhuer resented An Lushan even more in his heart. He didn't know when he would be beaten to death by An Lushan.

Not only did Li Zhuer suffer, but even Yan Zhuang, An Lushan's top counselor, could not escape.

An Lushan recruited Yanzhuang to discuss the matter of dispatching troops to attack Li Fei.

"Your Majesty, Li Fei is not weak, and he has repeatedly defeated many with less. In Nanyang, he defeated Wu Lingxun's army of more than 2 with 20 iron cavalry, and defeated Yang Chaozong's army of more than [-] with more than [-] iron cavalry in Suiyang. Your Majesty Lu Zhihai was sent to lead an army of [-] to conquer Anton, and they were also defeated in the city of Liaoyang, and Li Fei was also asked to take advantage of the emptiness of Pinglu to cross the sea and capture Pinglu. Now that Pinglu and Anton are connected, Li Fei's strength must be even stronger. Strong, it is impossible to destroy Li Fei unless there are more than [-] elite soldiers. Almost all the elite soldiers in Hebei were transferred to Hedong to fight fiercely with Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other Tang troops. It is impossible to transfer back before defeating Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other Tang troops. The number is insufficient, and they are not elites, so it is really difficult to pose a threat to Li Fei, and if they rush out, they may even be defeated by Li Fei, and then Hebei will definitely fall into Li Fei's hands." Yan Zhuang analyzed.

"Then move Luoyang troops to the north, I will definitely destroy Li Fei!" An Lushan said with a very gloomy face.

"No, after your majesty's military order Xun Nanyang was defeated, the Tang Dynasty's Nanyang Jiedu envoy Lu Jiong's troops have been rescued, threatening Yingchuan and Luoyang at all times. The Tang army in Henan Province must also be deterred. If Luoyang's troops are transferred, it will not be enough Shock and awe, so Luoyang's troops cannot move." Yan Zhuang said in a difficult way.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, what use are you counselors for!" An Lushan was very irritable and yelled at Yan Zhuang. Zhuang kicked and fell to the ground, picked up a stick and beat Yan Zhuang a few times to vent his anger.

Yan Zhuang's face was black and blue from the beating, and he rolled out of the hall screaming miserably.

With the unbearable discomfort caused by the sores on his body and his poor eyesight, An Lushan's irritability will not disappear, but will only get worse.

That night, An Lushan woke up from his sleep.

He had a nightmare, dreaming that the eldest son An Qingzong came to complain to him.

Although on the surface An Lushan has always disliked his eldest son, An Qingzong, but that was because he had been cultivating An Qingzong as his heir and felt that An Qingzong lacked a little bit of his own arrogance.Every father always treats his first child a little differently. It can be said that An Lushan is very concerned about his eldest son An Qingzong, otherwise he would not cry when he first heard that his eldest son An Qingzong was killed .

An Lushan thought that when the eldest son was still in Chang'an City, it was Yan Zhuang and the second son An Qingxu who persuaded him to rebel directly, so that the eldest son was beheaded by the Tang court without even a chance to escape.

The more An Lushan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he recruited Yan Zhuang and his second son An Qingxu the next day.

First he cursed angrily, then took the whip and whipped Yan Zhuang and his second son An Qingxu, whipping them half to death.

An Lushan's anger and irritability will not disappear just because of Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu's meal. In the next few days, An Lushan dreamed of his dead eldest son An Qingzong again. Every time he dreamed of his dead eldest son An Qingzong, the first The next day, An Lushan would invite Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu, who persuaded him to rebel regardless of his eldest son An Qingzong's life, to come and beat him severely.
