Fan Yang of Anlu Mountain rebelled against Hu Zhong in Liucheng, the headquarters of Anlu Mountain, and his surname was Kang.His mother, Ashide, lived in Turkic for Pi, and prayed for her son in Yaluo Mountain.And production, there is light in the dome, and the birds and beasts are singing.The mother was ordered by a god and man, so she lived in Yahun Mountain.Later, his father died, and his mother remarried to An Yanyan, a captive general, so he changed his name to Anlu Mountain.Childish and arrogant, with cunning customs, ambition to attack, and daily affairs to shoot and hunt.Can speculate on people, and speak the languages ​​of the six countries.The body is fat, the abdomen hangs down to the knees, and it can dance like a whirl, walking like flying.

Since the beginning of Kaiyuan, Zhang Shougui's defeat of Xiqidan was defeated. Shouguizuo please behead him. Lushan was about to be executed, and he shouted: "The doctor wants to destroy Xiqidan, so why kill Lushan?" In the past, Rangju killed Zhuang Jia and Sun Wu killed the palace concubines. If he obeyed the military order of Gui, Lushan should not escape death." The emperor cherished his talent and wanted to forgive him. And its appearance is the opposite, if you don't kill it, you will be troubled later." There is a poem by the historian: "Knowing yourself and knowing others is a true hero, and you can know your heart first.

Jiuling assisted each other to fight for the world, and once knew Lushan from Chang'an.

The emperor said: "Your Majesty, don't use Jin Wang Yifu's knowledge of Shi Le to harm Zhongliang in vain. If you kill this person, it is not An Tang's plan." If you have different intentions, sooner or later your head will be taken!" Lu Shan backed away with repeated noises.

However, it is said that Lushan can speak eloquently and seduce people, and he is praised by many people. Therefore, the emperor thinks he is a virtuous person, and he has repeatedly moved to the post of Jiedu and made great achievements.As a result, he entered Chaomianjun again, and the emperor bestowed a hundred catties of gold and a thousand horses of Sichuan brocade. Since then, he has favored him very much, and he has never seen him.Suddenly one day, Lushan said: "Go to Qiuyingzhou where insects eat field seedlings, and I burn incense to pray to heaven, saying, 'If the minister is not righteous, and the king is unfaithful, I would like to make the insects eat the minister's heart; Scatter the insects without a trace.

"I wish it was only two days, when a flock of birds flew from the north, eating insects immediately. "The emperor heard the play and believed in his loyalty, so he had to enter the palace. The emperor pointed to his belly and asked: "What does this Hu have in his belly?"
Lu Shan replied, "There are red-hearted ears." "One day, when Xuanzhao entered the ban, the emperor and the noble concubine sat side by side. Lu Shan paid homage to the noble concubine first, and the emperor asked strangely. "The emperor didn't know that Lushan had the intention of admiring the noble concubine, but he kept it from him, and became more and more doted on.

The imperial concubine was in the harem, and when she saw Lushan coming, she also saw her love with her eyes. Qilushan was her adopted son, because there was no restriction on coming and going.At that time, the emperor was at the peak of spring and autumn, and his lust was declining, but Lushan was young and vigorous, and his body was full, so the noble concubine had an affair with him, and the relationship grew closer. There is no doubt about it.Or when the emperor and the imperial concubine were sitting together, Lushan was at his side, the emperor jokingly pointed at the imperial concubine's milk and said: "The soft and warm freshly peeled chicken head meat." Xiao Huer is just crisp." The emperor also laughed at it.Lushan should claim to be three hundred catties, and the imperial concubine would wrap Lushan in Jinxiu as a big swaddle, so that the palace people would differ from each other in color.The emperor heard the laughter in the harem and asked why, and the left and right said "the imperial concubine washed Lushan'er in three dynasties". The sun is shining, and the blue-eyed Hunu is drunk and sleepy.

I don't know that the green scarf is a taint in the world, and I will give money to launder my children in the court.

At that time, Yang Guozhong, the brother of the noble concubine, was the chancellor. He was busy and had nothing to build a bright future.The emperor refused to listen; instead, he promoted Lushan as the envoys of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, the king of Xijue County, and the interview and disposal envoy of Hebei.Since Lushan was in charge of the three towns, he became more and more arrogant. Since he didn't worship the prince in the past, he was afraid of the emperor when he saw the age of the emperor; I want to wait until the emperor dies, and then cause chaos.Just when Yang Guozhong repeatedly said that Lushan would rebel, but the emperor refused to listen, Guozhong then provoked him with events, hoping to rebel quickly in order to win the trust of the emperor, so Lushan decided to rebel.

There are more than [-] brave warriors under him, one of whom can be worth a hundred. Zhou Shangzhuang and Sun Xiaozhe are his confidants, Shi Siming, An Shouzhong, Li Guiren, Cai Xide, Niu Yanjie, Xiang Runrong, Li Tingwang, Cui Qianyou, Yin Ziqi, He Qiannian, Wu Ling Xun, Neng Yuanhao, Tian Chengsi, Tian Kouzhen, Ashi, and Na Chengqing are minions.

At that time, the official returned from the capital, and Lushan pretended to be an edict, and showed the generals, saying: "The imperial court has a secret decree to order Lushan's soldiers to enter the court to challenge Yang Guozhong. All of you should help each other. If you don't obey, you will be beheaded to show the public." When all the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other in astonishment, and none of them dared to disagree. They all said: "I will follow my orders." So they sent out 15 troops from the army and Xi Qidan to fight against Fan Yang.So he ordered Jia Xun to guard Fanyang, Lu Zhijiao to guard Pinglu, Gao Xiuyan to guard Datong, parade and practice generals, and took blood oaths to lead the troops to the south.But seeing the elite cavalry, the smoke and dust are thousands of miles away.The time has been peaceful for a long time, the common people do not understand the military revolution, and the prefectures and counties of Hebei Province collapsed.

Someone reported to Chang'an early on, and the emperor summoned the prime minister to seek him out. Yang Guozhong said: "Today, the rebel is only one person in Dulu Mountain, and none of the soldiers wants it. In ten days, it will be passed on.

"The emperor thought so, and at the time when the envoy of Anxi Jiedu Feng Changqing entered the court, the emperor asked about the strategy of beating the thieves. In the land, he crossed the river with horses and sticks, and took the head of the Nihu in a few days to present it to the palace.

"The emperor heard the great joy, so he made Chang Qing the envoy of Fan Yangping and Lu Jiedu, and went straight to Tokyo to recruit soldiers. In ten days, he got more than [-] people, who were Duanhe Bridge, as a defense preparation.

But it is said that the Lushan army and horses traveled fifty miles a day, looting on the road, and in the future they will take Gaocheng directly.Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Dangshan, hurriedly summoned Yuan Luqian, the chief historian, to discuss, saying: "Today, when the Lushan army arrives, what should we do?" In the battle, use the old master, and then send people from the middle road to the plains, even the soldiers of the six counties, and return to the Lushan Mountain, so as to slow down his plan to enter the west. You must get a brave general to attack him. Victory." Gao Qing said: "If it is true, the country is also blessed. You can do your best to help each other, don't have different ideas, and you will share wealth and honor with you." Lu Qian said: "I would like to be taught, and I am willing to give a helping hand. Before the words were finished, Zhai Wande came out and said: "My lord, don't worry, I think the soldiers of Lushan are like weak grass ears. Personally propose a brigade of divisions, behead all their heads, and hang them at the gate of the army. This is my wish." Gaoqing said with great joy: "I have the king to help me, so I can rest easy." Gaoqing knew that Wande was brave and brave, so he was ordered to be the vanguard. He joined forces with Feng Qian, Jia Shen, Cui Anshi, Zhang Tongyou and others to raise a total of [-] troops. Come to the enemy.

But it is said that when Lushan soldiers passed through Yunting, the eunuch Yan Gaoqing's army and horses were in formation. The Tang general Zhai Wande came out with a big ax to open the mountain.The battle is endless, defeated for a thousand years, An Shouzhong went out to fight, and was defeated again, Wan De drove his troops to cover up the kill, the bandits were defeated, and retreated for more than [-] li, Gaoqing withdrew his troops and went down to the village.

But An Lushan and Shi Siming said: "Who is Zhai Wande?" The newspaper said: "Only a brave man in Gaocheng." Twenty or thirty miles away, they were defeated by ambushes." Lu Shan said, "Yan Gaoqing is the elder brother of Zhenqing, the prefect of Pingyuan. Liang Dao, I have a wonderful plan to kill Wande." Then he called He Qiannian: "It can be done like this..." Then he called An Shouzhong to lead the plan.Lushan and Siming led the former soldiers all the way down the barbed wire, and set up more antlers outside, thinking that it would be a long-term residence.How about the unknown outcome?
General comment: Xuanzong could not punish Lushan, but instead adopted him as an adopted son, insulting the imperial confinement, and laughing at the world, it is not worth mentioning.When Yang Guozhong provoked him into chaos in order to win the trust of his superiors, the crime also amounted to treason.
