Chapter 375 The Doom of An Lushan
Due to the continuous migration of refugees in Hebei, the population of Andong has surged. I believe that it will take not long before the population of Andong and Pinglu will be more than six million.
Such a gratifying situation made Li Fei's face full of joy.
Li Fei's goal was to have an population of about 10 million. At that time, he would be able to develop Anton into a prosperous and prosperous part of the Han civilization to the greatest extent. Even if he did not replace the Tang Dynasty, he would develop into Shiwei, Bohai, Khitan and the grasslands in the east, and assimilate these places with his whole life.
By then, there will be no Khitan, no Jurchen, or even no Mongols, only Han civilization. No matter how the Central Plains change dynasties in the future, it will be really just a matter within the Han family. The development of Han civilization will no longer be interrupted by barbarism.
Because the target was population, not territory, Li Fei did not attack Youzhou City, nor did he attack in depth in Hebei. He only relied on his command of Andong Iron Cavalry and Modao Army, a total of 80,000 elite troops overlooking Hebei.
The second year of Zhide of Emperor Suzong, the first month.
Luoyang, the ‘Dayan’ Palace.
Li Fei's every move was constantly spread to An Lushan's ears.
Li Fei blatantly robbed the population, and the 80,000 army looked down. His "Dayan Army" in Youzhou and Hebei was not only unable to restrain him, but also faced Li Fei's threat at all times, extremely cowardly.
This situation made An Lushan even more irritable!
"The waste is all a bunch of waste!" An Lushan cursed at the 'Dayan civil and military officials' in front of him angrily, venting his irritability.
As history has developed, An Lushan's health has become worse and worse after he reaches his fifty years old.
In recent months, An Lushan's vision has not only become blurred, but also has a large number of blocky poisonous sores on his body, which is extremely painful, but itchy, but it cannot be scratched, which has made An Lushan's tyrannical emotions continue to accumulate.
After An Lushan cursed for a while, he suddenly had a sore attack, his face turned pale, and his fat body trembled violently.
The court meeting had to stop like this.
The "Dayan civil and military officials" below walked out of the hall with the cold sweat on their foreheads.
Because An Lushan's temperament became more and more violent, he would kill the ministers if he was a little dissatisfied. Generally, as An Lushan is angry today, at least one or two of the officials will be killed for various reasons. Fortunately, An Lushan's illness broke out today and suddenly stopped the court meeting, so no one made a mistake and was caught.
However, although nothing happened today, there is still tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The days after that are still difficult.
In the next few days, the physical discomfort made An Lushan even more irritable, and no less than ten imperial physicians were executed.
It is obvious that it is impossible to calm down the irritability that An Lushan kept venting. In order to vent his irritability, An Lushan always used a whip or stick to beat the palace maids and eunuchs beside him with whips or sticks.
"Paipa-pa-pa-pa-pa-"
In the hall, the sound of sticks hitting echoed.
As the closest eunuch to An Lushan, this is the third time that Li Zhuer has been beaten by An Lushan's stick.
Li Zhuer was originally An Lushan's personal soldier and was very good at pleasing An Lushan. An Lushan had poor sleep and could only fall asleep under the service of Li Zhuer. After An Lushan rebelled and ascended the throne, in order to continue to stay in the palace to serve, Li Zhuer was castrated as a eunuch.
It’s impossible for a good man to lose his life. It’s impossible for Li Zhuer to not hate An Lushan in his heart. Now he has to be beaten by An Lushan from time to time. Li Zhuer is even more resentful to An Lushan in his heart. He doesn’t know when he was beaten to death by An Lushan.
Not only Li Zhu'er was in trouble, but even Yan Zhuang, An Lushan's number one counselor, could not escape.
An Lushan summoned Yan Zhuang to come and discuss the matter of mobilizing troops to attack Li Fei.
"Your Majesty, Li Fei is not weak, and he often wins more with less. In Nanyang, he defeated Wu Lingxun with 20,000 iron cavalry, and in Suiyang, he defeated Yang Chaozong with more than 60,000 iron cavalry. His Majesty sent Lu Zhihai to lead a 100,000 army to attack Andong, and also broke into the city of Liaoyang. He also asked Li Fei to take advantage of Pinglu's emptiness and cross the sea to attack Pinglu. Now Pinglu, Andong is connected together, and Li Fei's strength must be stronger.
It is impossible for Li Fei to be destroyed without more than 200,000 elite soldiers. Almost all the elite soldiers in Hebei are transferred to Hedong to fight fiercely with the Tang army such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. It is impossible to transfer back before defeating Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi and other Tang army such as Tang army. Not only is the number of remaining troops insufficient, but they are not elites. It is really difficult to pose a threat to Li Fei. If you launch a rashly, you may even be defeated by Li Fei. At that time, Hebei will fall into Li Fei's hands." Yan Zhuang analyzed.
"Then transfer Luoyang's troops to the north, I must destroy Li Fei!" An Lushan said with a gloomy face.
"No, after Your Majesty Wu Lingxun's defeat in Nanyang, the troops under the command of Lu Jing, the governor of Nanyang of the Tang Dynasty, were rescued and threatened Yingchuan and Luoyang at all times. The Tang army on Henan Road would also be shocked. If Luoyang's troops were transferred, the troops in Luoyang could not move." Yan Zhuang said in embarrassment.
"This is not possible, that is not possible. What's the use of me like you advisers!" An Lushan was very upset and roared directly at Yan Zhuang. The more he looked at Yan Zhuang's appearance, the more he disliked him. Finally, he kicked Yan Zhuang to the ground with one kick, picked up the stick and beat Yan Zhuang a few sticks to exhaled.
Yan Zhuang's face was beaten blue, and he shouted and got out of the hall.
As the discomfort caused by the poisonous sores on the body and the worsening vision, An Lushan's irritability will not fade, but will only become more and more serious.
That night, An Lushan woke up from his sleep.
He had a nightmare and dreamed that his eldest son An Qingzong came to call him for justice.
Although An Lushan has always disliked his eldest son Anqing Sect on the surface, it was because he had always trained Anqing Sect as his heir and felt that Anqing Sect lacked a little of its domineeringness. Every father always had a little more difference in his first child. It can be said that An Lushan cared about his eldest son Anqing Sect very much, otherwise he would not cry even if he heard that his eldest son Anqing Sect was killed.
An Lushan thought that his eldest son was still in Chang'an City, and it was Yan Zhuang and his second son An Qingxu who advised him to rebel directly, which allowed the eldest son to beheaded by the Tang Dynasty court without even the chance to escape.
The more An Lushan thought about it, the more angry he became. The next day, Yan Zhuang and his second son An Qingxu came.
First he scolded him angrily, then he took a whip and slapped Yan Zhuang and his second son An Qingxu, directly sucking both of them half to death.
An Lushan's anger and irritability would not disappear just because of the blows of Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu. In the following days, An Lushan dreamed of his dead eldest son An Qingzong again. Every time he dreamed of his dead eldest son An Qingzong, An Lushan would invite Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu, who advised him to rebel directly regardless of the life of his eldest son An Qingzong, to come and beat him up.
