The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 273: Anshi Rebellion and the Fall of the Tang Dynasty
On the canopy.

A little firelight shone through the middle of the scroll.

The burnt edges spread to the surrounding areas.

The magnificent Tang Dynasty was burned down.

Outside Chang'an City.

Countless skinny people grabbed the dirt from the ground and swallowed it to satisfy their hunger.

On Suzaku Street.

The shade trees that were originally planted on both sides of the road, showing the elegance of the Tang Dynasty, have now been completely destroyed.

The originally huge market has become quiet and no longer bustling.

Occasionally, a few men with pale and haggard faces looked at each other, and then exchanged the swaddling clothes in their arms.

Duanmen.

A solemn and dignified procession of colorful flags filed out of the palace gate surrounded by the army.

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng clenched his hands into fists.

How could this happen? How could this happen!

How could they suddenly fall to the point of cannibalism during their heyday?!
Are the Turks attacking?
But even if it is, it shouldn’t be like this?!
Aren’t there 490,000 elite troops in each town of the Tang Dynasty?

Could it be that the forty-nine elite troops still cannot take down...

and many more!

Liu Heng suddenly grabbed Liu Qi's shoulders and shouted loudly!

"How many Jiedushi did he set up? How many!"

Liu Qi was frightened and turned pale, but he quickly calmed down and said:

"Ten... ten! Father, ten Jiedushi!"

Liu Heng's body softened and he sat back down.

The mind that had originally seen the prosperous world calmed down completely.

The Ten Great Jiedushi...

Each town has 490,000 elite soldiers...

Conscription system...

The central government and local governments are in conflict...

"Ha... after all this fuss... it's just a flash in the pan..."

Liu Heng smiled bitterly.

……

Datang.

Everyone in the hall was furious.

Li Shimin stood up tremblingly, holding the table.

His face twitched and a few words came out from between his teeth.

"Li! Long! Ji!"

That ceremonial procession... was clearly the ceremonial procession used by the emperor when he traveled!

Why did he leave Chang'an?

what happened?
What on earth happened? ! !
Did the Turks invade? ! Or was it the Khitan? The Tibetans? !

Where are the soldiers? ! Where are the generals!!
Are all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers dead? ! !

"boom!"

Veins bulged on the arms that were pressing on the table.

His red eyes were fixed on the sky.

The murderous look in his eyes made all the officials silent.

"I...should...destroy them!!"

The ministers were horrified.

Suddenly, the ministers suddenly remembered.

The person in front of him was always approachable and would often smile and try to please Wei Zheng even when he was pointed at and scolded.

He is also a god of death who emerged from the battlefield, stepping on countless corpses!
……

【Since the Kaiyuan period, the Tang Dynasty had set up Jiedushi to command border defense in order to solve the problem of nomadic invasion along the border, but there was a lack of effective institutional constraints on the border commanders, resulting in a trend of neglecting the interior and focusing on the exterior.】

[In the late Tianbao period, the Hu general An Lushan was good at killing, fighting and flattering, and was deeply trusted by Li Longji. As a result, he served as the governor of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, commanding nearly 150,000 cavalry.]

[Prime Minister Yang Guozhong was quite jealous and often suggested that An Lushan was planning a rebellion.]

【Li Longji had some doubts and sent officials to investigate, but they were bribed heavily by An Lushan. When they came back, they said that An Lushan "served the country with all his heart and had no second thoughts." Li Longji believed it.】

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian covered his face with his hands, his eyes solemn.

He believed it? Why did he believe it?
Just because the person sent said good things, he believed it?

Holding two hundred thousand troops!!!
This is no longer a matter of believing in something!
This is something he is truly capable of rebelling against!
Is your brain covered with lard?
……

On the canopy.

The burly Hu general in armor drew his sword and pointed it to the sky, saying in a thunderous voice:

"I have received a secret decree! Kill Yang Ning!"

In front of him were countless elite soldiers with spears.

The smoke of war was billowing and the sound of horses’ hooves was heard.

A gust of dust advanced from Hebei into the Central Plains.

……

[In 755 AD, the th month and the th day of the th month of the th year of the Tianbao Period of the Tang Dynasty.]

[An Lushan raised an army in Fanyang on the pretext of "worrying about the danger of the country" and following a secret imperial edict to attack Yang Guozhong.]

【At that time, the country had been at peace for a long time, and when they heard that the army in Fanyang had risen up, people far and wide were shocked.】

[Hebei was ruled by An Lushan. The counties and cities where the rebels passed either opened their gates to welcome them, abandoned their cities and fled, or were captured and killed by the rebels. The rebels quickly took control of Hebei.]

[At that time, people from Taiyuan and Jiangcheng reported that An Lushan was rebelling, but Li Longji still thought it was a lie made up by people who hated An Lushan and did not believe it.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Rubbing his forehead, Li Zhi leaned back on the dragon couch and let out a long sigh. "Uncle... do you think he really doesn't know?"

Chang Sun Wuji looked at the sky and sighed:

"Your Majesty, I have learned a truth over the years."

"The older you get, the easier it is to dwell on past glories."

"And Li Longji, his glory is too great..."

"He didn't wake up. He lost his sensitivity to the world."

"He really thought he could remotely control a general who commanded a large army and was far away..."

Li Zhi covered his forehead and sighed deeply.

"Tongguan must have been lost, otherwise... Li Longji would not have been able to escape from Chang'an."

"But...how did it fall?"

Changsun Wuji couldn't figure it out either.

Since the Three Kingdoms and the two Wei dynasties, the defense of Tongguan can be said to be flawless.

What flaw did this person find?
……

[On November 15, Li Longji believed that An Lushan had indeed led his troops to rebel, and immediately appointed Anxi Jiedushi Feng Changqing as the concurrent Jiedushi of Fanyang and Pinglu to defend Luoyang.]

[He then appointed his sixth son, Prince Rong Li Wan, as the marshal and the Right Jinwu General Gao Xianzhi as the deputy marshal to lead the expedition to the east.]

[Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing temporarily recruited soldiers in Chang'an and Luoyang, but all they got were young men from the market.]

【On December 12, An Lushan attacked Luoyang.】

[Li Jian, the governor of Tokyo, and Lu Yi, the chief censor, refused to surrender and were killed by An Lushan after being captured. Da Xixun, the governor of Henan, surrendered to An Lushan.]

[The Anxi Jiedushi Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi who retreated to Tongguan adopted a defensive posture and held on to Tongguan without leaving.]

【Li Longji believed the false accusations of the eunuchs supervising the army and executed Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi for the crime of "losing discipline and losing the army". 】

[The Longyou Jiedushi Geshu Han, who was disabled at home, was appointed as the deputy marshal of the army and ordered to lead an army of 200,000 to guard Tongguan.]

[After Geshu Han entered Tongguan, he immediately reinforced the city defenses, dug deep trenches and built high fortifications, and closed the city gates to defend it. An Lushan could not take it down for a long time.]

[In May, Li Longji received information that the rebel general Cui Qianyou had "less than 4,000 soldiers in Shan County, all of whom were weak and unprepared", so he sent an envoy to order Geshu Han to send troops to recapture Shanluo.]

[On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, Geshu Han fought with Cui Qianyou in Lingbao and was badly defeated, with only 8,000 men left from the 200,000-man army.]

[On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Cui Qianyou captured Tongguan, and Tongguan fell. ]

……

Late Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao looked at the poems written on the white silk with a complicated expression.

"The situation is over..."

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang remained silent.

With the fall of Tongguan, the military force capable of defending Chang'an was completely gone.

There is only one way at this point.

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison:
"The emperor leads the army in person!"

The prestige of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still remains!
As long as the emperor leads the army in person and only pursues the main culprit and not the others, there will be a chance for things to turn around!

Yes! That ceremonial guard!

The three of them suddenly realized that he was going to lead the army in person!
……

[On June 12, Li Longji ascended the Qinzheng Tower and issued an edict announcing that he would personally lead the army to fight.]

……

On the canopy.

The scene returns to the extremely solemn ceremony.

The camera passes through a long line of armored soldiers and palace maids.

He came to a chariot made of green gauze and gold patterns.

Li Longji, with white hair and beard, opened his bloodshot eyes and stared blankly into the void.

……

[“The drums of Yuyang shook the earth, startling the dancers in their colorful costumes. Smoke and dust rose from the nine-story city walls, and thousands of chariots and horses marched southwest…”]

[On June 755, AD, Li Longji quietly fled Chang'an to Shudu with Yang Guifei's sisters, the prince, the imperial concubine, the princess, the imperial grandson, Yang Guozhong, Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin, Chen Xuanli, and close eunuchs and palace maids.]

[When the troops reached Mawei Slope, a mutiny broke out, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong was executed, and Concubine Yang was forced to hang herself. ]

[On the 23rd, Chang'an fell.]

……

On the canopy.

A streak of blood stained Suzaku Street.

The butcher held up a long knife.

No one was spared, including princes, generals, ministers, men, women, old and young, and even babies in swaddling clothes.

The blood-red picture gradually blurred and finally returned to the original picture.

The man who had exchanged the swaddling clothes returned to a dilapidated house with the cloth wrapped in it, then he lit a fire and added dirty water.

The swaddling clothes were opened, revealing a baby with a knife wound in it, no longer breathing.

"Pfft!"

Heavy objects fell into the water.

The man sat in front of the fire, hugging his knees, looking dazed and stupid.

The scene zooms out, and a pile of rags and clothes is seen behind the man.

On the ground, a few fluffy flowers covered with dust and torn pieces of kites trembled slightly as the breeze poured in from the door.

……

[“The palaces were burned down, only one in ten remained, and all the buildings were in ruins, not even a single rafter remained.”]

【Chang'an fell, the crown prince fled, and the An-Shi Rebellion began to reach its peak.】

[The glorious and prosperous Tang Dynasty collapsed. ]

　I have the picture in my mind, but I haven’t written it down at all.

　　It’s because I haven’t read enough books, so I haven’t accumulated enough descriptive sentences.

　　My writing skills are too poor.
