The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 244: Take precautions before they happen

When An Lushan, the governor of Hedong Province, took the title of Qingjun side, An Lushan's army quickly dispatched and attacked some important towns controlled by the imperial court.

Some small towns were unable to cope and were captured one after another.

The world was shocked for a moment, and everyone looked towards Chang'an City, waiting for the court's reaction.

At the same time, the divine bird Bai Zhi, who was in Princess Yongle's Mansion in Chang'an City, suddenly opened his eyes.

The crimson divine bird is like a blazing flame leaping, with three branches floating in the rain, and three purple stars twinkling, with infinite divine light, facing the rising sun!

In the dark night, the light of the divine bird was particularly dazzling in Chang'an City. The moment the divine bird appeared, most people in the Great Wall noticed the changes in the sky. They looked at the sky in wonder, dumbfounded and dumbfounded!

As some people looked blankly at the sky, most of the remaining people's eyes were also attracted to the sky. Immediately, the crimson light in the sky dyed the entire sky red, like a raging flame, burning up the sky, illuminating their faces and illuminating the earth.

"The divine bird is actually a divine bird!"

"The divine bird appears again!"

"The divine bird has not abandoned the Tang Dynasty and has always been with the Tang Dynasty!"

"..."

For most ordinary soldiers, they do not know what they are doing. They only know to accept the orders from their superiors and do what they should do at that time.

Fortunately, the divine bird appeared again at this time, and as soon as it appeared, the vision displayed by the divine bird covered the entire sky and the entire city of Chang'an!

"How is it possible? Didn't the divine bird abandon the Tang Dynasty?"

"An Lushan, the governor of Hedong Province... has seen the divine bird!"

But after thinking about this, Bai Zhi was not in a hurry to take action. Because he knew that the outbreak of the An Zhi Rebellion was not due to one person's ambition, but to the entanglement of interests hidden deep behind the scenes.

Who can guarantee that characters like Princess Yongan will be born in the future?

Not to mention that Princess Yongan had lost her immortality at this time and began to gradually age.

"The rumors in the world about the departure of the divine bird have finally disappeared!"

Seeing An Lushan's reaction, Bai Zhi slowly retracted his eyes, then looked at the other generals in the camp, stared at them for a moment, and then said as the generals gradually became frightened:

"What you have done will naturally be punished by the court, but there are also some meritorious deeds for you."

Of course, there is no need to move the imperial army, Bai Zhi can easily handle it by himself!

Containing the Anshi Rebellion to a certain extent can also prevent the war from wreaking havoc on the Tang Dynasty, so that the Anshi Rebellion will no longer become a turning point for the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

However, at this moment, the light in the tent suddenly bloomed, like a huge flame suddenly burning. The dazzling light illuminated the entire tent, making everyone including An Lushan couldn't help but cover their eyes for fear of the dazzling light. Blinded by the light.

They were shocked at the same time. They didn't know what happened and why such a dazzling light suddenly bloomed in this camp, but this did not prevent An Lushan from shouting loudly:

"Somebody come!"

At this time, the imperial army's expedition against Anlu Mountain was also a famous and just act!

And what he didn't expect was that his side had just launched an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and their hands and feet came directly to his camp in an instant, without giving him any time to react.

One second Bai Zhi was still in the sky above Chang'an City, and the next second he appeared where An Lushan's army was stationed. Looking at the army camps stretching for dozens of miles below, Bai Zhi did not take action immediately.

Bai Zhi was suspended in the air in the tent, looking at everyone in the tent quietly. Under Bai Zhi's explanation, he saw An Lushan's face changing again and again, from disbelief to unwillingness, and then to Anger eventually turned into frustration.

"Sacred Bird!"

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi was silent for a moment, shook his head randomly, then landed and flew down.

For a time, there were sounds of horror in the camp. Most of them are military generals standing in the camp, because they really think that the sacred bird has abandoned the Tang Dynasty. Only a few people are truly ambitious and not loyal to the Tang Dynasty!

"Somebody come!"

"Please ask the divine bird to show you a way out!"

Ever since rumors gradually spread around the world that the divine bird had abandoned the Tang Dynasty, people all over the world could not help but feel panicked. While they were already familiar with the existence of the divine bird, they did not dare to imagine what the world would be like if the divine bird left. The scene?

They also thought of the late Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was precisely because the divine bird did not appear that war broke out. Fortunately, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was born, and compassionate people like Princess Yong'an stepped forward to prevent the war from destroying the common people in the world to a certain extent.

But at the next moment, until the dazzling light slowly disappeared, Anshan and others' eyesight finally recovered, and then they saw clearly what had changed in the camp.

"It's actually a divine bird!"

They were ecstatic, cheering, and sincerely happy!

……

"It turns out that the divine bird has always been there and has never left!"

"..."

Reluctantly, An Lushan slowly stood up and bowed respectfully to the divine bird, then slowly knelt on the ground and lowered his head, as if he was at the mercy of the divine bird.

The power of the divine bird is truly unstoppable to mortals!

"..."

Bai Zhi did not respond at all to the reaction of the people in Chang'an City below. After all, his goal at this time is Anlu Mountain in the distance.

"Please ask the divine bird for advice!"

What was the biggest conflict of interest during the Tang Dynasty?

It’s nothing more than a conflict of interests between the aristocratic family and the imperial power!

"..."

……

Therefore, Bai Zhi only needs to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and then deal with An Lushan.

In the military tent, An Lushan was reading the military intelligence and battle report, and at the same time, the military generals beside him discussed the military situation and the deployment of troops and horses.

Of course, the conflict of interests between the aristocratic family and the imperial power is only one of them.

After the people in Chang'an City were shocked, what followed was ecstasy, and the haze in their hearts instantly dissipated.

Because of Bai Zhi's advance plan, everyone in the world already knew the news that An Lushan was about to rebel. Coupled with Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's deliberate propaganda, the people's recognition of the imperial court was greatly improved, and they all expressed their support for An Lushan. Lushan Pass was punished.

Looking at An Lushan sitting in the center, a look of fear suddenly appeared on his fat face, because in his opinion, he also believed that the divine bird had abandoned the Tang Dynasty, although this view only occupied five people. become.

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, the other military generals in the camp reacted immediately, and then quickly knelt on the ground and asked respectfully.

"Go out and lead the army, quickly return to their respective stations, and wait for the imperial edict to be issued!"

Bai Zhi said.

"Yes!" After hearing Bai Zhi's order, the generals among the battalion commanders quickly reacted, and then quickly walked out of the camp respectfully. In less than a moment, Bai Zhi heard the neighing of war horses, the clash of swords and guns, and the sound of a large number of soldiers and horses marching outside the camp.

Obviously, they had returned to where they came from with the soldiers and horses they led. They were afraid that if they were a step too late, the divine bird would regret it and kill them conveniently.

After arranging things outside, Bai Zhi looked at An Lushan who was kneeling in front of him. His crimson feathers flapped slightly, and An Lushan's figure suddenly disappeared into the tent.

After doing all this, Bai Zhi immediately disappeared from the influence, and then his figure appeared in the sky above the army station. There was no starlight on the dark sky, only the neighing of the war horses in the military tent below, and the murderous intent. stern.

However, at this time, more soldiers and horses were evacuating in an orderly manner. Of course, there were also more soldiers and horses who stayed in place with blank faces. Those were An Lushan's own soldiers and horses.

Bai Zhi did not hide his figure. When he appeared above the army station, the divine light he carried suddenly illuminated the entire sky. The sudden red light shocked the hundreds of thousands of troops below. .

They stopped what they were doing and looked at the scene in the sky with dull expressions, shocked by the scene in the sky.

"Is that a magical bird..."

“What’s in the sky is actually a divine bird!”

"Didn't the divine bird disappear? Why did it suddenly appear again?!"

"The divine bird is always there!"

"The divine bird appears again..."

"..."

……

After a moment of silence, the ground below suddenly erupted with deafening exclamations and even bursts of cheers.

The divine light carried by the divine bird hangs in the sky like the rising sun, shining on every corner of the earth. Places that were originally dark and could only be illuminated with weak torches instantly became bright, and each soldier could see Looking at the faces of his companions, he saw the familiar figure.

The appearance of the divine bird at this time also told every soldier: they no longer have to fight!

The familiar robes beside him didn't have to fall beside him one by one, but he was helpless.

The lovely children at home do not need to lose their father, and they can also go home and visit their old mother at home.

Everything has changed because of the appearance of the divine bird.

The magical light of the divine bird shone for hundreds of miles. Even in the distance, where the imperial army was stationed, they could see this brilliant light. They all stared dumbfoundedly at the direction where the enemy troops were stationed, wondering what was happening ahead.

And they all thought of the same answer, that is: the divine bird!

Only the divine bird can carry such miraculous visions of heaven and earth, and only the divine light carried by the divine bird can illuminate the sky!

Apart from this, they couldn't think of anything else.

……

When the imperial army arrived at the place where the enemy troops were stationed, they saw soldiers and horses all over the mountains and fields kneeling respectfully on the ground, worshiping the sacred bird in the sky.

As for the approaching army, they did not cause any resistance. On the contrary, they cooperated very well with the army. At this moment, the army suddenly realized that a rebellion in the feudal town had been solved in this way.

……

……

Bai Zhi quickly returned to Chang'an City, and then handed over Anlu Mountain to the court for disposal. He returned directly to Princess Yongan's Mansion.

Li Xinni looked at Bai Zhi who returned and knew that the Anlushan rebellion had been resolved. After all, in her opinion, as long as the divine bird could solve it, it was not a big deal.

But is there anything in the world that the divine bird cannot solve?

I'm afraid there are already very few.

Just when Li Xinni breathed a sigh of relief, Shenniao's words made her nervous again.

"The rebellion in the world does not end here. An Lushan's rebellion is not just the first time. There will be a second or even a third time in the future. I hope the court will pay attention to it!"

Bai Zhi reminded. After all, judging from the original history, the Anshi Rebellion was not a simple rebellion of military generals. As thought before, behind the Anshi Rebellion, there was also a struggle between aristocratic families and imperial power.

But for the aristocratic family to truly end, the court needs to ask it to solve the problem.

Of course, in its original history, Datang had never solved the family's problems. The fundamental reason why the Song Dynasty families gradually faded away from the historical stage was because of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was a period of chaos, a period in which a northern ethnic minority ravaged the unified Han people of the Central Plains dynasty. How arrogant the aristocratic families were in the past would be dealt with in this period.

Countless aristocratic families were completely exterminated, and were trained as slaves by other clans, and were completely enslaved.

It was not until the later establishment of the Song Dynasty that China once again returned to a certain degree of stability and unity. However, the long-standing aristocratic families also disappeared, and outright bureaucrats and gentry became the mainstream.

After hearing Bai Zhi's reminder, Li Xinni's expression became solemn. Then he meditated for a moment, thinking about the danger mentioned by the divine bird.

But after all, she is a person of this era and cannot escape the shackles of the times.

Therefore, Li Xinni could not imagine the danger Bai Zhi mentioned.

After all, in her opinion, although the problem of aristocratic families was also a problem in her heart in the past, with the implementation of the imperial examination system, she felt that aristocratic families were no longer something to be afraid of.

Seeing Li Xinni closing her eyes in deep thought, Bai Zhi only nodded a few words. Li Xinni was a little puzzled:

"Hasn't the problem of the aristocratic family been solved? The reason why the aristocratic family can develop is because they control the channels for advancement of poor families and ordinary people."

Li Xinni didn't understand, "And now the implementation of the imperial examination system has broken their monopoly to a certain extent, giving poor families and ordinary people the opportunity to make progress!"

Seeing Li Xinni's confusion, Bai Zhi shook his head randomly and didn't explain much. He just said: "The Anshi Rebellion is an example. Just a moment's slack will lead to rebellion!"

All Bai Zhi can do now is to remind the court at any time.

As for completely getting rid of the family, this is probably a very difficult thing.

Even in the peaceful era of later generations, when everyone is equal, there are still classes!

Things that existed in history will exist in future generations. After all, as far as history is concerned, there is nothing new in the world!

All Bai Zhi can do at this time is to make the world develop in the direction he expects...
