The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 111 The Wolf's Ambition
Zeguo Jiangshan entered the war map, Shengmin He Jile Qiaosu.

Relying on Junmo's words to seal the affairs of the princes, one will succeed in a thousand bones.

It is rumored that in the first World War a hundred gods were worried, and the strong troops on both sides of the strait had not stopped.

Who knows that the Cangjiang River will always be fine, and there has been a bloody struggle recently.

——"Already the Year of Hai" Cao Song (Tang Dynasty)
……

An Lushan's honest, simple, open and cheerful smile won Xuanzong's heart again.

With the praise of all the officials in the court, An Lushan bid farewell to the civil and military officials one by one.After returning to the mansion, An Lushan was like a discouraged sheepskin raft, depressed and speechless.After all, what he donated was the money he had saved for most of his life!An Lushan's heart was bleeding, he declined all visitors today, and nestled in the tent set up in the back garden, drinking dull wine alone.

The two brothers An Qingzong and An Qingxu saw that their father was depressed, so they went into the tent to have a drink with their father.

After drinking for three rounds, An Qingxu was full of complaints. He went to his father and complained: "Father, we have heard about the affairs above the court. Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need to be so generous. Would you like to donate it?"

An Lushan was worrying about this matter, and was furious when he heard the words: "You little wolf cub, you know nothing!
An Qingzong hurriedly persuaded: "Father calm down, you must have difficulties if you do this. Wait until you are reckless."

An Lushan let out a long sigh: "Zong'er, the past two years of our Anjia seem to be beautiful, but in fact, the tip of the knife is licking blood. The bigger the territory, the more eyes are staring at you. Those who want to make money from you, those who seek officials, and those who drive you Those who run errands for you, those who ask you to kill others for him, those who gloat and hope that something will happen to you, are countless. But most of them want to kick you off the cliff and curse you to death on the street, just like vultures hovering in the sky greedily staring at you. with a wounded camel.

In the past two years, Li Xiangzhuan knows everything we did in Ji and You.Thinking about it now, I don't know how much eyeliner he has placed around our father and son.Bao Buqi's so-called confidantes, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, Zhang Tongru, Shi Siming, An Shouzhong, Cai Xide, Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi, Ashina Chengqing and others are his secret stakes.As much benefit as our father and son can give these people, Li Linfu can give more.

This old guy is too scary. He didn't reveal a little bit of information before, just waiting for you to make a mistake, and then hold the handle in his hands.If you are as obedient as a dog and can wag your tail, he will reward you with some meaty bones.Once you want to become the wolf king, howl in the grassland, refuse to listen to him, and want to get rid of him, he will show his knife, cut your throat, stab into your heart, and peel off your wolf skin! "

An Qingzong and An Qingxu looked at each other, pale with shock.An Qingxu said urgently: "Father, Li Linfu won't tell the Holy One about us, will he?"

An Lushan pondered for a while, and said: "Probably not, he will only let someone who is not a threat sit in this position. If I get rid of me, he will not be able to find a better replacement in a while. Shen, a general like Wang Zhongsi will rise up and replace him. Li Xiang is not young, he dare not take this risk. He has made too many enemies, if he is not careful, he will die. But What will happen to him, I can only gamble.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the highest honor is to be a general and a minister, like Li Jing and Li Shi.As the saying goes, the general governs an army, and the prime minister governs a country.However, from the end of the Kaiyuan period to the Tianbao period, most of the officials who were promoted to Jiedushi and had heavy soldiers in their hands were Hu people, such as Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan.The reason is that the Hu people are illiterate, have vulgar language, and cannot enter the court as a prime minister, and will not let Li Linfu's power be sidelined, so he has always supported the Hu people in charge of soldiers. "

An Qingzong thought for a moment, and said: "The current sage is wise and powerful, doesn't the sage not know about Li Xiang's little Jiujiu?"

An Lushan smiled and said: "How can the Holy One not know? The Sui Dynasty flourished in the Guanlong nobles and died in the Guanlong nobles. The lessons learned from the past are the guides for the future. If his Li family wants to stabilize the country, the biggest enemy is not the tribes of the grassland. It is the Guanlong family. The Hu people do not have a prominent family background, so it is difficult to form cronies with the Guanlong family. This is the real reason why the Holy Majesty allows the Hu people to gain military power."

An Qingxu continued to ask: "Then what is the attitude of the other courtiers? If they take the opportunity to persuade the Holy Majesty to dismiss father's Pinglu and Fan Yang Jiedu envoys, wouldn't we be in a cocoon, and the bamboo basket will be empty?"

An Lushan smiled contemptuously, and said: "Huh, others! Who in the court today confiscated my benefits? I let Liu Luogu stay in Chang'an just to inquire about news and bribe courtiers. In the past two years, apart from giving money to the court The captives, livestock and livestock that paid tribute, and people and horses at post stations in counties and counties along the way, what are they transporting? They are all their exotic flowers and animals, jewels, jade and treasures! Qingzong, you once asked me why I kept making out with Xi, The conflict between the Khitan and other tribes? Hmph, if there is no war, there is no chance of looting money, cattle and horses!
Why are there so many important officials in the court today trying to protect me? Do you think they really think that An Lushan is brave and good at fighting, and is a fence for the country?fart!Put the fucking shit!It's because they can get the most benefit from me!Including Li Longji himself! "An Lushan spat out thick phlegm.

An Lushan continued to scold: "If I don't serve as Jiedushi for a day, they will lose one day of money in the account. Without me, the few concubines privately raised by Minister of Rites Xi Jianhou, where did the money come from? Without me, Minister of the Ministry of Household Pei Kuan How many Chang'an mansions and Lishan manors should I buy less? Without me, Li Longji could spend so chicly in front of the three sisters of the Yang family? He can reward them with countless mansions, jewelry, jade, silk Luo silk satin? Without me, he just ransacked the house, and it's not so easy to get money!"

……

After the two brothers An Qingzong and An Qingxu left in peace, An Lushan remained motionless, staring at the ashes of the campfire.Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and the ashes are rekindled, and the flames are blazing.An Lushan's eyes are cunning and confusing.

There are still some things that An Lushan didn't tell his son.He heard about the prophecy from Li Xiang.Only by handing over the military power, at least on the surface, can he take the initiative to surrender the military power, so that Xuanzong can rest assured that he is not one of the three stars of "Seven Kills, Breaking the Army, and Greedy Wolf".Xuanzong seemed to be ignorant of government affairs, and was intoxicated with singing, dancing, poetry and painting, and love in the world.But when it comes to the supreme power, he is like the old wolf king on the prairie, he seems to be staggering, once you challenge him, you will experience his strength and viciousness, tear him to pieces, and never stop dying!

However, the prophecy did not frighten An Lushan, but aroused his ambition.

The prophecy reminded him of what his mother, the witch Ashid, a Turkic wizard told him when he was very young.

After her mother got married, she didn't get pregnant for a long time. For this reason, she was disgusted by the Sogdian merchant's father.In order to give birth to him, Ashide made a fortune-telling and selected an auspicious day.That night, she fasted and bathed, knelt down naked at the foot of Mount Aluo, prayed devoutly, and begged the Longevity God to give her a child.Soon after returning, she gave birth to a baby boy.Witch Ashid named the baby boy "Aluoshan" in order to thank Changshengtian.In Turkic, "Aluoshan" is the God of War!
That year, the tribe of his stepfather An Yanyan was defeated, and the mother and son fled in the chaos of the army. At the moment of life and death hanging by a thread, the Ashid witch stared at An Lushan with supernatural eyes, and told him word by word: "Son, you will not die. You are a child of God, you are our Turkic god of war!"

……

This sentence was like a seed that took root in his heart.

That year, he was ordered to kill with a club for stealing a sheep.At the moment of execution, An Lushan suddenly remembered his mother's words.He yelled at Zhang Shougui, the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou: "Don't you want to destroy Xi and Khitan? Why kill the strong man!"

With just this sentence, Zhang Shougui pardoned himself, sent him to the army, and made meritorious deeds.From then on, An Lushan finally found the most suitable career for him - joining the army.

The war made him feel like a fish in water, and he flexed his muscles. Finally, because of his bravery and military exploits, he was promoted to Pinglu's strike envoy and General Zuo Xiaowei.From then on, the sheep thief Xianyu turned around and glorified the village.It also made An Lushan more convinced of what his mother said to him that night: "My son, you will not die. You are a child of God, and you are our Turkic god of war!"

"Li Longji, you guessed it right! I am the man in the prophecy, the general who will rule the world-Pojun!" An Lushan was murderous, and he chopped the whole lamb roasted on the bonfire in two. Half!
