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

Chapter 275: The End of the Golden Age

On the canopy.

The "Eulogy for My Nephew" stained with blood and tears gradually disappeared in the candlelight.

The screen fell into darkness again.

Among the five options in the sky, "All of the above" and "Sacrificial Essay for My Nephew" were blown away by the wind.

"The Lonely City in October" lit up slightly, but the next moment!
The radiance of "old but not dead" and "fratricide"!
The dark and deep mysterious light suppressed the blood light that was barely visible and inconspicuous.

All over the sky.

The picture gradually became clear, but it was divided into two parts, upper and lower.

Lower half of the screen.

Two veterans in armor, holding swords and riding horses, stood side by side, one on the left and one on the right.

In front of him, a group of Hu people were running away in fear.

Behind him, the majestic Tongguan stands tall.

On the Tongguan city wall, a white-haired Hu general sat on a cart, looking up with tears streaming down his face.

Following General Hu's gaze, we see the upper half of the picture.

Above the blank space of Tongguan, Li Longji, wearing a fu hat and ochre-yellow clothes, is facing away from the battlefield, looking slightly to the side.

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
"boom!"

The guy in front of him was kicked over!
Roll down the stairs.

"Tongguan! Tongguan! Tongguan!!!"

Li Yuan suddenly stood up and threw the quilt to the ground!

His eyes were red as he pointed at the sky in anger!

"Tongguan again!"

"How many great opportunities did he miss here? How many times!!"

"Old but not dead!"

"Thief!!!"

"Why doesn't he just die!"

"Why doesn't he die!!!"

The defense is broken...completely broken.

Li Shimin, who was standing aside, lowered his head and looked at the ground, feeling powerless.

It is obvious that Tianmu will mention Tongguan again.

The loss of Tongguan was not as simple as that bastard's forced escape...

This must be another great opportunity for him to forcibly destroy.

It can’t be saved…it really can’t be saved.

On the other side, Li Jiancheng sighed:

"Even if it's God's will, you can still survive."

“It’s all your fault…”

……

【Yan Gaoqing died, and Changshan fell. 】

[If Changshan is lost, Jingxing will also be lost, and the connection between Taiyuan and Hebei will be cut off.]

[Without Taiyuan's help, it would be difficult for Zhucheng in Hebei to resist the rebels' attack.]

……

On the canopy.

The counties of Yecheng, Handan, Julu, Zhaozhou, Shanggu, Boling, Wen'an, Weijun, and Xindu in Hebei were once again controlled by the Yan army.

At the same time, the white-haired old general rushed from Yunzhong to Luoyang.

The younger one, Ye, led his troops from Shuofang through Dongxing Pass to Taiyuan.

……

[On the ninth day of the first lunar month in 756 AD, Li Longji recalled Guo Ziyi from the northern battlefield and ordered him to lead his army to Luoyang.]

[He also ordered his subordinate Li Guangbi to pass through Taiyuan and march towards Hebei.]

[On February 15, Li Guangbi led more than 10,000 Han and non-Han troops, plus 3,000 archers sent from Taiyuan, out of Jingxing and arrived at Changshan City.]

[At this time, more than a month had passed since Changshan fell. When the Tang army reappeared, Changshan's 3,000 local militia soldiers did not want to resist. They captured the rebel commander and killed the Hu soldiers before surrendering the city.]

[Shi Siming subsequently attacked Changshan several times but failed.]

[The two sides were deadlocked in Changshan for forty days.]

[At the same time, on the battlefield in Henan, after An Lushan occupied Luoyang, he sent people to advance along the Grand Canal to the Huai River Basin, but was defeated by Shanyu Wei Jia Ben in Suiyang.]

[Yongqiu, located northwest of Suiyang, is also on the Grand Canal and was firmly guarded by Zhang Xun, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County.]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and his hands were shaking.

He slowly supported Gao Lishi beside him and slowly slid down and sat on the ground.

"saint……"

Gao Lishi supported Li Longji and said with concern.

Li Longji wiped the cold sweat from his temples with his robe sleeves, and said to Gao Lishi with lingering fear:
"General Gao... General Gao..."

"Go and summon Magistrate Zhang and the official named Jia Ben to come to see me..."

"Fortunately, Suiyang Yongqiu was not lost... otherwise..."

Gao Lishi also felt a little scared.

If the rebels occupied the wealthy areas along the Yangtze River and Huai River, the south would also become a battlefield.

Then the Tang Dynasty would be completely destroyed.

……

[Nanyang, which controls the Nanxiang Basin and the Jianghan Plain in the south, was also firmly held by Li Ju, the governor of Henan.]

[The rebels who headed for Yingchuan County (Xuchang, Henan) between Nanyang and Suiyang were also blocked by Jiedushi Lai Zhen.]

【Yongqiu, Yingchuan, and Nanyang ensured the safety of the southern part of the Tang Dynasty. 】

[In the Hedong region, Pingyuan governor Yan Zhenqing ordered Qinghe native Li E to lead 6,000 soldiers to attack Weijun, which was occupied by the rebels, and at the same time captured Qinghe, the rebels' grain and fodder base.]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
The three of them looked for a long time before they could figure out which road this deformed road was.

"Huguan Road..."

The most important channel connecting Shanxi with Hebei is Jingxing Road under the jurisdiction of Changshan.

But in addition to this road, there is another equally famous road, which is Huguan Road located west of Handan.

"The Huguan Road passes through Fukou, an important pass on the Taihang Mountains, connecting Shangdang and Handan."

Wei Qing said with some excitement:

"The reason why Qin general Bai Qi launched the Battle of Changping was because Handan, the capital of Zhao, was just to the east of Fukou."

"And the Shangdang area where Changping is located is the only way to Fukou! Only by obtaining Changping can we open the passage to Fukou."

Huo Qubing also said excitedly:
"Once Weijun and Qinghe are conquered, we can go directly west and attack Handan and other places further west, and then open Fukou!"

"In this way, the Tang army can enter Hebei through Fukou!

"The Tang Dynasty will be able to turn defeat into victory! It will take over Hebei in one fell swoop!"

Liu Che, who was standing by, held his chin and looked at the uncle and nephew who suddenly became excited, and said helplessly:

"Have you two forgotten something?"

Wei and Huo stopped discussing and looked at Liu Che.

Liu Che leaned back on the couch and let out a sigh of frustration, but still held his breath and said helplessly:
"Tongguan..."

Wei and Huo were stunned, and then their energy was instantly drained away.

yes……

Feng and Gao were beheaded...

Geshu Han was forced to fight a decisive battle with the rebels...

Tongguan was lost...

It was like a punch into the air.

The two pillars of the empire are still busy analyzing the battle situation and the advantage is on my side.

But they ran away...

There was a rage stuck in my chest that I couldn't release.

This broken sky!

It’s better to just speak according to the time and let people have a good vent in the end!
I knew the result and then watched the process, which made me even angrier!
……No……

You shouldn't have mentioned it!

"What a lousy emperor..."

Liu Che glanced at Huo Qubing who was muttering to himself.

That's you kid...

……

[On May 29, Guo Ziyi came to Changshan to rescue him, and together with Li Guangbi, he defeated Shi Siming at Jiashan.]

……

On the canopy.

The red Tang Dynasty's marching map and the green rebel army's marching map are clearly distinguished.

The main force of the rebels approached Tongguan, while advancing westward to Shanxi, eastward to Shandong, and southward to Jianghuai.

As for the Tang army, Yan Zhenqing of Hedong was in the east, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were in the west, and Zhang Xun, Li Ju and others were in the south.

……

[Shi Siming was badly defeated, and more than a dozen counties in Hebei rebelled again, killing the rebel generals defending the city and turning to the Tang army.]

【Li Guangbi and Yan Zhenqing worked together to block the passage between Youzhou and Luoyang, causing An Lushan's troops to be disconnected.】

[At this point, if he continues to attack Chang'an, Guo Li's troops will attack him from behind.]

[If you want to return to Youzhou, you must first break through the blockade of the Tang army in Hebei. ]

【An Lushan was trapped in an area surrounded by enemies on all sides.】

...Ji Han.

"It's only been half a year since the war started."

Zhuge Liang used the handle of the fan as a pen and drew on the straw mat.

He was surrounded by a group of generals.

"If the Tang army could achieve a complete victory on the Hebei battlefield at this time and defeat An Lushan."

"Then the prosperous era that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang created for several decades may be able to continue."

"On the one hand, we can send reliable generals like Guo Ziyi to control the border."

"On the other hand, although Emperor Xuanzong of Tang appointed some vassal states, large vassal states like An Lushan who ruled one side of the country were not formed."

"Taking advantage of the great victory, he can completely use his strength to abolish these vassal states and establish a centralized peace in the interior."

"In this way, the tyrants on the border will be wiped out, and peace in the interior can continue. Even..."

"Even... the land and population can be redistributed..."

"Such a prosperous Tang Dynasty can continue again..."

"pity……"

……

[An Lushan's force to attack Chang'an was only 10,000 troops under General Cui Qianyou. As the troops were scattered and the attack was weak, it was actually difficult to break through Tongguan.]

[At this time, the Tang army's victory in Hebei and Henan had caused An Lushan to shift his focus to the rear, and he did not dare to covet the Guanzhong area where Chang'an was located for the time being.]

[The real advantage lies in me! ]

[Then, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty took action again...]

【Yang Guozhong feared that Geshu Han would gain power, so he forged a false intelligence report and gave it to Li Longji.】

[As mentioned above, the rebel Cui Qianyou who attacked Tongguan only had about 4,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, and Geshu Han had other intentions. ]

[Li Longji lived up to Yang Guozhong's high expectations and immediately gave the order to Geshu Han, ignoring the repeated letters of dissuasion from Geshu Han, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others. ]

[Twenty envoys came to Tongguan in an endless stream. Under the pressure of several golden medals, Geshu Han finally decided to send troops.]

[On the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, Geshu Han burst into tears and led his army out of the pass.]

……

On the canopy.

The four words "kill each other" twisted into a plain covered with hills.

The plain is west of Hangu Pass.

To the north is the Yellow River and to the south is a hilly area.

In the middle there is a narrow pass of seventy miles.

A small plain forms at the western end of the pass, which then gradually narrows.

At the easternmost end of the pass, a small hill rises from the bank of the Yellow River. The hill and the hills to the south form a narrow trumpet-shaped pass.

The picture gradually advances.

The Yan army was fleeing into the valley, while the Tang army was pursuing them.

Afterwards, from west to east, the Tang army's troops were crowded like ants in a small space.

From the top of the hill, wood and stones were thrown down continuously.

The Tang army camp immediately fell into chaos and began to trample on each other.

"Let the chariots charge forward! Charge forward!"

The chariots in front of the Tang army tried to attack the rebels.

But the Yan army piled up straw at the east entrance and lit it in the east wind.

moment!

The fire spread instantly and ignited the forests in the mountains, forming a sea of ​​fire!
The Tang army's chariots were also set on fire.

The smoke that covered the valley spread...

The sound of fighting shook the sky...

……

[On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Geshu Han led his troops to a decisive battle with the Yan army.]

[The Tang army led 50,000 elite soldiers led by Wang Sili and others in the front, and Pang Zhong and others led 100,000 troops in the rear. Another 30,000 people were sent to beat drums on the high ground on the north bank of the Yellow River to assist.]

[When the two armies met, the Tang army saw that the rebels were in disarray and were trying to flee, so they advanced straight ahead and were lured into a narrow road.]

[The rebels suddenly set out in ambush, throwing logs and rocks, and the Tang army was crowded in the narrow passage and could not deploy, resulting in many casualties.]

[Geshu Han urgently ordered the felt carts to charge ahead, but they were blocked by the straw carts that the Yan army had set on fire, and could not move forward.]

[The blazing flames and thick smoke rushed towards the Tang army. No one could open their eyes and could only wave their swords and spears wildly in the smoke. In the end, they killed their own people.]

[The archers at the back saw a fight going on ahead and thought the Yan army was coming to attack them, so they fired thousands of arrows at once, until their quivers were completely empty.]

【The sun sets in the west, and the smoke dissipates. 】

[The Tang army suddenly realized that there were only dozens of burnt straw carts and Tang army corpses lying all over the ground ahead, and not a single Yan soldier.]

[At this time, Cui Qianyou ordered his elite cavalry to go around the southern valley and attack from behind the government troops.]

[The Tang army was blocked in front and their retreat was cut off, so they collapsed completely. Everyone rushed to escape. Some abandoned their armor and fled into the valley, while many more fell into the Yellow River due to the crowds and drowned.]

[For a moment, the narrow passage was filled with miserable screams and wails, and the roar of death rose to the sky, resounding through the heavens and the earth...]

【The Tang army on the north bank of the Yellow River saw that the situation was unfavorable and they also fled. 】

[Geshu Han fled back to Tongguan with only a few hundred cavalrymen. ]

[Of the nearly 200,000 Tang troops, only 8,000 managed to escape back to Tongguan.]

[On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, Cui Qianyou captured Tongguan, and Geshu Han was taken hostage by his generals to Luoyang, where he surrendered to An Lushan.]

……

On the canopy.

Inside the Qinzheng Building.

Li Longji, who always had a rosy face, now looked dilapidated.

His eyes were lifeless, and I didn't know where he was looking.

Inside the hall, there was a constant commotion.

"Two hundred thousand troops... gone! Gone!"

"Impossible! It's been three hundred years! Since Heba Yue entered the pass, Tongguan has never been breached head-on! Even Emperor Gaozu only used tricks to force Tongguan to surrender! It's been hundreds of years! The peace fire of Tongguan is lit every day!"

"Your Majesty! The peace fire has been extinguished! What the soldiers who came here said is true! Tongguan has been lost! Chang'an is about to fall under the iron hoof. It is better to go to Shudu instead of Shu, which is safer."

Yang Guozhong looked anxious but forced himself to suppress his anxiety, and quickly listed the disadvantages.

"Your Majesty! You must not do this!"

Suddenly, a dark-skinned official stepped out and shouted to stop them!

……

Datang.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne with a blank expression on his face, moved his eyes slightly.

"I... remember him..."

As soon as the words came out, the ministers below were shocked to find that the emperor's voice was as shrill and hoarse as a night owl.

Empress Changsun, who was standing by, tried hard to suppress the surprise on her face, but her hands were unconsciously wrung tightly around her sleeves.

She smelled blood...

"...poet, Gao Shi..."

……

On the canopy.

The minister, with tears in his eyes, held up his jade tablet and said loudly:

"Minister! Please recruit brave warriors in the city and court officials to lead their servants and sons to fight and defend the city today!"

"Chang'an has its food and grass! The people's hearts are here!"

"Your Majesty! Saint! You are a saint who has done great things!"

"Chang'an is not lost!"

"You can't leave!"

The tablet fell, and the minister knelt on the ground, kowtowed and wept:

"I can't leave... Saint..."

"Hebei is still there... Chang'an is still there..."

"...The Tang Dynasty...is still there..."

Everyone in the hall looked at the Censor who was crying uncontrollably.

There was an indescribable silence.

The white-haired old man at the top slowly closed his eyes.

……

[On June 13, Li Longji fled Chang'an.]

[Xijing governor Cui Guangyuan, military supervisor eunuch Bian Lingcheng and others opened the city to surrender, and An Lushan's general Sun Xiaozhe led the rebels into Chang'an.]

[The scholars and knights of Hua'e Tower, the streets are deserted during the Lantern Festival. ]

[The common people have peonies in their temples, and the poets have thousands of poems to compete with each other. 】

[The prosperous Tang Dynasty, as the people say, and the majestic Chang'an Palace. 】

【On this day, it completely collapsed. 】

……

　I have tried my best, and this is the best I can do.

　　I watched The Longest Day in Chang'an to get a feel for it, and the part where He Zhizhang pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded him really made me cry...

　　I had the emotions, and then I found that I couldn’t write them down!

　　Hold your breath!!!
　　Some people might say that killing each other is from Xiangji Temple...

　　This is actually a bit of a weird mistake.

　　Because the only one that met the two points of 200,000 and fratricide was Geshu Han's Battle of Lingbao.

　　Xiangji Temple, it is not a place of cannibalism.

　　They are the Tang army and the Yan army, the government army and the rebel army.

　　An Lushan established a country.
