On the 27th day of the first lunar month, Geshuhan took the 60,000 soldiers transferred and recruited by the court to go to Tongguan to take over the position of deputy marshal left by Gao Xianzhi after his death, and resisted An Lushan's anti-army's attack on Tongguan.

On the other hand, An Lushan was worried about his attack on all sides and the situation was extremely unfavorable.

There are 110,000 Tianwu Army guards in Tongguan, Gao Xianzhi is not an ordinary person, and there is also a supporter of Feng Changqing. Even if he sends a million troops to attack, he may not be able to take it down. Nanyang, Suiyang and others have encountered fierce resistance and cannot advance in an instant. The rear of Hebei is on fire again, and a total of fifteen states rebelled. An Lushan was shocked when he knew about it. Hedong was threatened by Guo Ziyi, the governor of Shuofang.

The disadvantages of multiple parties are simply a sign of your defeat! How can An Lushan not panic if you let An Lushan?

Indeed, most of the generals of the army under An Lushan were Hu people, but there were also some Han generals, and most of the soldiers were Han people. It was impossible for everyone to rebel with An Lushan wholeheartedly.

Originally, the situation was unstoppable and it would be fine if it was progressing smoothly. Now, in this unfavorable situation between many parties, not to mention the attacks of the court, even mutinies may occur within him.

However, at this moment, news came that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to death.

An Lushan was stunned and then laughed wildly to the sky!

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, Lushan has already made the worst plan. If he really can't do it, he will retreat to Youzhou City in Fanyang, but you are helping Lushan like this. If Lushan still can't take your country, wouldn't it be a waste of your 'help'?"

Not only did An Lushan recover his confidence after sweeping away his previous worries, but the news reached all levels of the anti-military army. Some anti-military generals who were originally panic and had already developed uneasiness also strengthened their rebelliousness again.

The entire anti-army army had already shown signs of decline due to obstacles in all directions the moment before, but at this moment it regained its edge.

There was no way, the Tang Dynasty court killed two highly famous generals Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing for no reason, which not only disappointed the hearts of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and generals, but also the hearts of the anti-military soldiers and generals.

Many people in the Tang Dynasty court did not know the inside story of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing retreating to Tongguan, but the rebels knew it.

After all, just as Gao Xianzhi led the Tang army to retreat to Tongguan, their iron cavalry also came to the city of Tongguan, and they were only one step away from attacking Tongguan. If it weren't for Gao Xianzhi's retreat, they would have already attacked Guanzhong and destroyed the Tang Dynasty!

Let’s talk about Feng Changqing.

They raised an army from Youzhou City to rebel south, and they were unstoppable and encountered almost no decent resistance. They only fought fiercely with Feng Changqing in Xingyang and Luoyang. Although they fought all 60,000 soldiers under Feng Changqing were killed and injured, Feng Changqing also killed more than 10,000 elite soldiers, which was the biggest loss since their rebellion.

You should know that the soldiers under Feng Changqing were just recruiting and had not received any training, but they had achieved such results. At least many generals in the anti-army admired Feng Changqing very much.

Such a general who was admired by both the two anti-army generals, can be called the guardian saint of the Tang Dynasty, but was killed by the Tang Dynasty court for no reason!

No matter what the inside story is, it is enough to show the corruption of the Tang Dynasty's court. Even if they betray An Lushan and helped the Tang Dynasty kill An Lushan, the Tang Dynasty even gave deaths at will, let alone those who had "had" rebelled?

The anti-army had already shown signs of collapse from the inside, but Tang Xuanzong helped An Lushan to unite the anti-army again with a bad move.

An Lushan was excited, and the rebel army was firm and firm again, and he was revitalized.

"Shi Siming and Cai Xide, you two each brought 10,000 elite troops north to join Fan Yang and the soldiers of Panglu to pacify Hebei! My son Qingxu, you led 100,000 troops to attack Tongguan when there was no general in Tongguan-----" An Lushan quickly made a series of deployments.

After conquering the eastern capital Luoyang and becoming the emperor and founding the country, An Lushan recruited a large number of new soldiers. At this time, the anti-army army was no longer the 150,000 elite soldiers who had just arrived south of Youzhou City, but 200,000. If the newly recruited soldiers from Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong to the north of the Yellow River were also recruited and trained in the past few months, the total number of anti-army army should have exceeded 300,000.

The elite soldiers refer to the veterans who had experienced many battles who first started with An Lushan from Youzhou City. Although Shi Siming and Cai Xide each brought only 10,000 elite soldiers northwards, in terms of combat effectiveness, there were more than 100,000 untrained "moons".

--------

Andong Protectorate, Liaoyang City.

Li Fei looked at Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing and the others who were sentenced to death, and was silent, with deep sorrow on his face.

After all, his plea did not work.

"Jiangdu, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were sentenced to death. It is a pity, but the Jiedududu of Shuofang Guo Ziyi sent troops from Jiuyuan to attack Hedong, and the fifteen prefectures of Hebei returned to the Tang Dynasty. Tongguan was the world's largest pass, and a million troops could not be defeated. Nanyang and Huainan, the anti-army army stopped moving forward. The situation was still very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan's anti-army army would soon be pacified under attack from multiple parties. Why are you still so worried?" Lu Xin asked.

Li Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head. It turned out that it was a good situation, but with the death of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, Shi Siming and Cai Xide each led the elite anti-army troops northwards, and the situation would soon reverse. Tongguan could indeed stop millions of soldiers, but the premise was that the Tang army would not come out if it was the Tang Dynasty's army to defend Tongguan to the death.

"No matter how good a game of chess is, it depends on who is controlling it. Although the 15 prefectures in Hebei are known as 200,000 "rebels", they are all mobs and will definitely be defeated by the anti-military Shi Siming and the two generals Cai Xide. Tongguan may not be able to defend it!" Li Fei felt powerless. He felt that as long as the court in Chang'an City was still under the control of Yang Guozhong's incompetent people who only knew how to fight for power and profit, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was still not awake in his fantasy of the prosperous era, history seemed to be really irreversible, and Tongguan might not be able to defend it in the end.

"The enemy is not scary, the most terrifying thing is the teammates who are like pigs." Li Fei smiled bitterly.

"Did the 'pig' mentioned by the Jiedushi refers to Prime Minister Yang Guozhong?" Wu Sheng said with a frown.

"Yang Guozhong is just one of them. After being extorted and harmed by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, there are a few civil and military officials in the court who are real and knowledgeable, and they are all incompetent and corrupt fencemen, and ---"The biggest 'pig' is our Majesty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Li Fei was full of helplessness.

Li Fei said it more profoundly, and Lu Xin and others still couldn't understand it very well. However, what Li Fei said and what he judged was almost never wrong. Lu Xin and others did not doubt what Li Fei said, and immediately became worried.

"How has our soldiers been expanding their enrollment?" Li Fei asked.

"Returning to the Jiedushi, I'm almost 40,000 yuan." Lu Xin replied.

"Then step up the training, maybe I will use them soon." After pacifying the Khitan and Xi tribes, the Anton Protectorate has been calm for almost two months. Li Fei has his own persistence in his heart. He could not have watched the tragic scene of Mawei Post as in history. He has made the worst plan.

Before moving to the last step, Li Fei also wanted to make another effort. Although the hope was slim, he still hoped to avoid An Lushan's anti-army attacking Guanzhong, forcing Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to escape with Yang Guifei.

Li Fei wrote another memorial, hoping to persuade Emperor Xuanzong of Tang not to let Geshuhan lead troops out of Tongguan to fight, and to explain the importance of Tongguan. To defend Tongguan to the death is the foundation of victory, to take the initiative, etc.

Will Emperor Xuanzong of Tang listen? Li Fei does not give any hope. This is just the last effort he made before taking the last step.
