Chapter 635

When it comes to the Anshi Change, what everyone remembers the most is nothing more than An Lushan and Shi Siming. This is the opposite, and the opponent is Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. These four war gods collided and sent out dazzling sparks.

Or remember the tragedy of Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, but there are two people who have been ignored by many people.

The Yan brothers, to be precise, Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing are cousins.But without these two people advocating righteousness in Hebei, the Tang Dynasty would have been different.

Among them, Yan Gaoqing was the most tragic. During the Anshi Rebellion, Yan Gaoqing and his son Yan Jiming guarded Changshan, and Yan Zhenqing guarded the plains. The two planned to kill An Lushan’s general Li Qincou, and captured Gao Miao and He Qiannian, seventeen counties in Hebei. They all responded.

At that time, only the six prefectures of Fanyang, Lulong, Miyun, Yuyang, and Ji and Ye in Hebei were still attached to Anlu Mountain.Yan Gaoqing sent Ma Sui to Fanyang to recruit Jia Xun, saying: "Anlu Mountain is gracious and rebellious. Although it won Luoyang, it will eventually be wiped out. If you punish the generals who do not obey their orders, return to the country with Fan Yang and pour out their roots. , this unworldly merit."

Jia Xun thought it was right, but because of hesitation, he missed the opportunity.This matter was reported to An Lushan by Biejiang Niu Runke, and Anlushan sent his confidant Han Chaoyang to Fanyang, called Jia Xun to have a secret talk, took the opportunity to strangle Jia Xun, and asked Biejiang Niu Tingjie to lead Fanyang's army.He also asked Shi Siming and Li Lijie to lead the Han infantry and cavalry to attack the second county of Boling and Changshan.

This was also Yan Gaoqing's best opportunity, but he missed it.

Hebei is the old nest of Anlushan. Anlushan sent Shi Siming still not at ease, and asked Cai Xide to lead an army of [-] to attack Changshan again.

At that time, Yan Gaoqing was also negligent, thinking that most of Hebei was advocating righteousness, and he had countless soldiers, so he didn't take the two invading armies to heart, and he was discussing something with his men.Let his sons Yan Quanming, Jia Shen, and Zhai Wande go to the capital to present Li Qincouu's head together with He Qiannian and Gao Miao.

Zhang Tongyou cried: "My elder brother Zhang Tongru is a general of the rebel army. He begged to go to Beijing with Yan Quanming to save the lives of his family members."

Yan Gaoqing agreed, but the elder brother was like this, and the younger brother was also a villain. After arriving in Taiyuan, Zhang Tongyou immediately attached himself to Wang Chengye and asked Wang Chengye to detain Yan Quanming and make another letter to claim the credit.

When Shi Cai's army arrived, Yan Gaoqing was at a disadvantage in the battle, so he asked Wang Chengye for help.

This is a small turning point. If Wang Chengye took into account the great cause of the country and sent troops to rescue him, it might be another situation.First, the Anlushan army captured Yan Gaoqing's son and forced Yan Gaoqing to surrender. Yan Gaoqing not only refused to surrender, but cursed Anlushan, so Shi Siming killed Yan Jiming and began to storm Changshan.Yan Gaoqing fought hard day and night, and finally let the rebels capture Changshan because they ran out of arrows and food.The rebels indulged soldiers and killed more than 1 people.

In fact, because of the tyranny of Anlu Mountain, after the Anshi Rebellion, and the two plague gods invited by the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Uyghur, "The Uyghur entered Tokyo and killed thousands of people, and the fire lasted for ten days. The army also regarded Tokyo, Zheng, Ru, and Bian as bandit territories, and the looting and looting ended in March, and the houses were wiped out, and the soldiers and people were all clothed." Cunyi, a hundred grasses are desolate, there was no ruler rafters, there are less than a thousand households in the middle of the town, the hazel thorns in Jingyi, howled by leopards and wolves (a bit exaggerated, no matter how leopards and wolves will not run into the city, but the wild foxes will always come) There are)" "From Zheng and Bian in the east, reaching Xufang, from Qinhuai in the north, passing through Xiangtu, the population is cut off, and thousands of miles of depression (this area used to be one of the most densely populated areas in the world)" "Hanshan withered Disabled, especially in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, passing through Yiyang, Xiong'er, Wulao, and Chenggao, within five hundred miles, there are more than a thousand households. There are no rafters in the house, no smoke for people, depression and misery, and beasts roaming and ghosts crying (this is a five-meter radius) There are at least 30 households in Baili, and there are only [-] households left, and the raging has reached this point)”

Changshan was trapped, and Yan Gaoqing, Yuan Luqian and others were sent to Luoyang.An Lushan made him very angry, and asked: "You were originally a small family member in Fanyang. I appointed you as a judge at the imperial court. After a few years, you were promoted to prefect. What is wrong with you, but you actually Raise troops against me?"

A rebellious heart was severely hit by him.

Yan Gaoqing fought back: "You were originally a Hu slave who shepherd sheep. The emperor appointed you as the envoy of the Three Ways. He is very kind. I have lost something to you, but you rebelled. I have been a courtier of the Tang Dynasty for generations. , Lilu and official positions are all given by the Tang Dynasty. Although you play, how can you follow your rebellion. I seek thieves for the country, and I wish I could kill you. What is rebellion? Why don’t you kill me quickly!"

An Lushan was furious, tied Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian to the bridge pillars of the middle bridge, and scraped them to death with a knife.Yan and Yuan were still swearing at each other until they died, and more than [-] members of Yan Gaoqing's family were killed by An Lushan.

So strong, so Wen Tianxiang later wrote a sentence in "Song of Righteous Qi", which is Zhang Suiyang's teeth and Yan Chang's tongue, and this Yan Chang's tongue refers to Yan Gaoqing.

After Yan Gaoqing's defeat, he led his troops to attack the prefectures and counties that did not surrender. All the places they passed were massacred. Yejun, Guangping, Julu, Zhaojun, Shanggu, Boling, Wen'an, Weijun, Xindu also Want to follow the enemy.Only Lu Quancheng, the prefect of Raoyang, did not surrender until the arrival of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's army.

Yan Gaoqing suffered a disastrous defeat, and Yan Zhenqing in the Shandong Plain (Ling County) still erected a banner.First, Li E, a native of Qinghe, who was only 20 years old, said to Yan Zhenqing: "The Duke is the first to sing righteousness. The counties in Hebei regard the Duke as the Great Wall. Today Qinghe is adjacent to the west of the Duke. The country usually gathers money from the Jianghuai River and Henan Province to support the Northern Army. , so-called Beiku in the world, today there are more than 30 million pieces of cloth, more than [-] pieces of silk, more than [-] coins, and more than [-] dendrobiums of grain (one dendrobium is ten buckets, and the dendrobium bucket is the unit of capacity, and the stone is the weight. unit, one dendrobium is slightly more than one stone of grain). In the past, the soldiers were all stored in the Qinghe reservoir, and now there are more than [-] things. There are still more than [-] households. I think its wealth is equivalent to three plain counties. The horse is enough to reach the two plain counties. If you can lend me troops to control this area, with the second county of Qinghe in the plain as the core, the rest of the counties are like limbs, and they can all be used at will."

Yan Zhenqing hesitated, and said: "Pingyuan soldiers have just been recruited, they haven't been trained yet, and they don't have enough self-protection, so they don't care about the neighboring counties."

This is also true, the main reason is that Li E is too young, which makes Yan Zhenqing doubt his ability.

Li E said: "Qinghe asked the servant to borrow soldiers from the Duke. He borrowed the soldiers from the Duke because of lack of strength. He also wanted to see the wise ears of the great sage. Now that the Duke has not made up his mind, how dare I say the next step rashly?" plan."

Talking eloquently, Yan Zhenqing was amazed, so he agreed.Everyone else thinks that Li E is young and energetic, and they don't see the strength of the rebel army. Borrowing troops can only disperse their forces and will accomplish nothing.When Yan Zhenqing heard it made sense, she began to regret it.

After Li E heard about it, he wrote a letter to Yan Zhenqing in the pavilion, saying: "Qinghe County broke away from the rebels and returned to the imperial court. You donated food, cloth, silk and weapons to help the officers and soldiers. Not only did you not accept it, but you also had doubts. I will go back." Reply, Qinghe County cannot exist in isolation, it must have something to rely on, if you turn to the rebels, it will become a strong enemy for you in the west, will you not regret it by then?"

Yan Zhenqing was enlightened, so she went to see Li E in person in Guange, divided up six thousand troops, and sent them all the way to the border, shaking hands and saying goodbye.Only then did he ask: "The soldiers are ready, can you tell me what your next move is?"

Li E said: "I heard that the imperial court sent Cheng Qianli to send 20 elite soldiers out of Naokou to beg for the thieves, but the thieves rejected them according to the danger and were not allowed to go forward. Now we should lead the troops to attack Wei County first, and Yuan Zhitai, the prefect of Zhilu Mountain, restore the original prefect Sima. Let him be the chief general of the Southwest, and send some troops to open Naokou. Let Cheng Qianli's army come out, and jointly attack the counties occupied by the rebels from the north of Ji County, Ye County to Youling. The two counties of Pingyuan and Qinghe Leading other allied troops, together with [-] troops, marched south to Linmengjin, guarded the fortress, and controlled the way for the rebels to escape to the north. It is estimated that the army of the official army in the eastward expedition is no less than [-], and the western expeditionary army loyal to the imperial court in Henan is no less than If it is less than [-], you only need to submit a letter to the imperial court and ask the Eastern Expeditionary Army to stick to it (referring to Brother Feng Gao’s army in Tongguan, it can be seen that the heroes of the world think the same), and within a month, the rebels will inevitably break out in civil strife.”

Yan Zhenqing said, "Good."

So according to Li E's strategy, the soldiers of the three counties fought a bloody day, defeated the soldiers of Wei County, and the army was greatly boosted.

At one time, An Lushan was forced to advance and retreat, but all of this made Li Longji kill Gao Feng and the two first, and then forced Ge Shuhan to forcibly exploit his weaknesses and avoid his strengths, and Tongguan fell to nothing.

"A Lang, you'd better leave," Yan Zhenqing's butler said.

After Shi Siming pacified Hebei, he immediately set his eyes on Yan Zhenqing, and Er Yan became a serious problem in An Shi's eyes.When pacifying Xindu, he immediately asked his general Kang Meiyebo to lead the army to attack the plain.

At this time, the three counties of Pingyuan, Qinghe, and Boping became isolated lands, with food and grass in them, and no foreign reinforcements.So the old housekeeper advised Yan Zhenqing to run away, but instead of using the word run away, he used the word leave.

"I'm ready to die for my country. At this time, the country needs ministers to serve me more. Why do I want to run away?"

The old housekeeper knelt down and cried: "Alang said that with the three isolated cities, even if Sun Wu is alive and Wu Qi is resurrected, it will not be able to turn the world around. Although Alang is dead, but because Alang resists the enemy, the rebels must vent their anger on the people of the three counties, which will cause more trouble. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the three counties died because of Alang. If you keep the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood. Alang thinks twice. Since the rebels rebelled, the father alone sang righteousness, and the lonely army supported the rebels in Hebei for a year. Life and death are hard to come by. The public is righteous in the world, and the world is righteous when the public dies. The public suffers from the enemy, trying to make the rebels laugh rampantly, and the world is depressed. Why don't you go back to the mountain and try to protect the people of the three counties from suffering?"

Shi Siming's wanton killings did make many states and counties lose the courage to defend the city.

This sentence hit Yan Zhenqing's heart, and he began to cry on the ground.

So he repeatedly told him to leave the plain and cross the river to the south.

Yan Zhenqing left in front, Pingyuan had no master, and surrendered to Shi Siming, so Shi Siming borrowed a knife to kill people, and used Pingyuan's troops to attack Qinghe and Boping, and the three counties were lost.

The news of the battle in the front cannot be accurately transmitted to the rear, but Wang Hua knows that Yan Zhenqing is alone and in a very dangerous situation.He imitated the face and wrote a couplet on the paper:
Both civil and military sweep Yanzhao Jianqigong
A person is as upright as his character, mighty and upright
Words are like a person, one can't say how bad Wang Hua's heart is, but he still can't match Yan Zhenqing's staunchness.Therefore, no matter how similar his font is to his face, he is not as majestic and awe-inspiring as Yan Zhenqing himself.

So later Ouyang Xiu, Zhu Wenchang and Su Dongpo highly praised Yan style. Ouyang Xiu said: "A point is like a falling stone, a painting is like a summer cloud, a hook is like a bent gold, and a spear is like a crossbow. There are images in both directions and ambitions. Since Xi and Xian , there is no such thing as a public."

Guan Jian is an integrity, without this integrity, it is impossible to write the samadhi of beauty and body.

This couplet is the best portrayal of Yan Zhenqing's life.

After finishing writing, he immediately ordered people to secretly search for Yan Zhenqing, and make sure to keep his life safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But Eryan's tragedy can't be compared with the other two.

National scholars are unparalleled, and loyal ministers are the same.

Zhang Xun Xu Yuan is also!

In ancient Chinese history, in terms of tragic loyalty, only a few people such as Shi Kefa can compare with them.

Zhang Xun, as a Jinshi, was transferred to Qinghe County Magistrate, and the political examination was the highest. However, he did not want the rich and powerful in Afu, and did not meet Yang Guozhong, so he was only transferred to Zhenyuan County to become a small county magistrate again.After taking office, he immediately killed Hua Nanjin, a powerful man in the local fish and meat township.

In the 2000th year of Tianbao, Anshi's troops flourished. General Zhang Nengfu captured Song Cao and other states. Yang Wanshi, the prefect of Qiaojun, was frightened by the rebel forces and wanted to surrender the city. He forced Zhang Xun to be the chief historian to meet the rebels.After Zhang Xun received the commission, he and his generals cried to sacrifice to the ancestral temple and vowed to fight against the rebels.At that time, Shanfu County Wei Jia Ben also raised troops to resist the rebellion. After defeating Zhang Tonghui, he marched into Yongqiu and joined Zhang Xun. Approaching a million heroes).

But at this time, Linghu Chao, the magistrate of Yongqiu County and a notorious figure in history, disagreed and wanted to surrender.So he led his army to defeat the Juyang army that went north to fight against the rebels, and tied up the captured soldiers in the courtyard to kill them.It happened that he left the city for some reason, and the tied soldiers untied the ropes, killed the guards, closed the city and refused to accept Linghu Chao, and at the same time recruited Jia Benzhang to patrol the city.After the two entered the city, they killed Linghu Chao's wife and occupied the city for self-defense.

At that time, Li Zhi, the king of Wu, was the prefect of Lingchang. He was ordered to fight against the rebels. After learning that Jia Ben Zhang patrolled and occupied Yongqiu, he granted Jia Ben the supervisory censor.Soon after, Linghu Chao led the rebels to attack Yongqiu, and Jia Ben led the army out of the city to resist the death in battle.So all the troops were handed over to Zhang Xun.Zhang Xun reported the battle situation to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi ordered Zhang Xun to take over the army and civilians of Yongqiu.

After Linghuchao failed to attack Yongqiu, he again led the rebel general Li Tingwang to order [-] troops to attack the city, and people were shocked for a while.But Zhang Xun remained calm and let some troops stay in the city, and the rest were divided into several teams to attack the rebels in person.

The number of troops in Yongbing City was small, and the rebels were negligent, caught off guard, and fled in defeat.The next day, the rebels built more than a hundred wooden buildings as high as the city and attacked the city from all sides.Zhang Xun ordered people to build a fence on the top of the city to strengthen the defense, and then bundled grass and poured ointment and threw it at the wooden building of the rebels, so that the rebels could not approach.Taking advantage of the rebel army's advance and retreat, they attacked again, causing the rebel army's strategy of wooden buildings to fail.Afterwards, the enemy attacked and we defended. After more than [-] days of stalemate, and hundreds of battles, Linghu Chao was finally defeated and retreated.

After a rest, Linghu Chao launched another counterattack, but he also had a very headache. He didn't expect this little county magistrate to be so aggressive, so he persuaded him under the city: "The affairs of the world are over. If you stick to the dangerous city with one step, who do you want to be?"

Zhang Xun replied calmly: "I have promised myself loyalty all my life, what is loyalty in today's action!"

Linghu Chao leaves in shame.

At that time, Zhang Xun was guarding the isolated city, and there was no news from the imperial court.Linghu Chao besieged Yongqiu again for more than [-] days. When he heard that Li Longji had escaped from Chang'an, he sent a letter to recruit Zhang Xun.It wasn't that he liked Zhang Xun's talent, which made Zhang Xun afraid.Hearing that even the emperor had fled, Zhang Xun had six generals under his command, all of whom paid homage to the opening of the mansion, and persuaded Zhang that the army was outnumbered, and the emperor did not know whether he was alive or not, so it was better to surrender.These six generals are the main generals under Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun was afraid that things would change, so Yang promised to set up a portrait of the emperor in the court the next day, and lead the soldiers to worship. Everyone cried, so Zhang Xun took advantage of the time when the soldiers encouraged him , Introduced the six generals to the front, and beheaded to show the public with righteousness.So the morale of the army is strengthened.

After guarding the city for many days, all the arrows in the city were exhausted. Zhang Xun bound more than a thousand grassmen, dressed in black, and fell to the city at night.Linghu Chao thought that Zhang Xun was going to attack the camp, so he ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows. It took a long time to realize that it was straw men.Therefore, one hundred thousand arrows are obtained.Later, the straw man fell to the city, and the army of Linghu Chao laughed without equipment.

So 500 dead soldiers fell under the city and suddenly attacked Linghu Chao's camp.Linghu Chao's army was in chaos, burned the camp and fled.Zhang Xun led his army to pursue for more than ten li before returning.This is because there are too few troops in hand, otherwise, this battle may wipe out Linghu Chao's army in one fell swoop.

Linghu Chao was ashamed and hated, and sent more troops to surround Yongqiu tightly.

He came up with another poisonous plan, pretending to have a dialogue with Zhang Xun, and secretly planted a crossbow under the city. Zhang Xun didn't know it, and used Lang to answer Lei Wanchun, and the rebels took the opportunity to shoot Lei Wanchun with the crossbow.Lei Wanchun was shot in six places in the face, but he still remained motionless.Linghu Chao suspected that it was a wooden man, so he sent troops to investigate and found out that it was indeed Lei Wanchun. He was very surprised, and said to Zhang Xun with great emotion, "When I saw General Lei, I knew that the military orders were strict, but it's just like heaven! "

Zhang Xun replied: "You have lost all human relations, so what right do you have to talk about the way of heaven!"

Soon after, Zhang Xun led his troops into battle again, captured 14 rebel generals and killed more than [-] people.Under Zhang Xun's intimidation, Linghu Chao had no choice but to flee by night and retreated into Chenliu, not daring to fight Zhang Xun again.After a period of time, the rebel army divided into more than [-] cavalry and stationed in Baishawo. Zhang Xun led his troops to attack at night and defeated the rebel army.Returning to Taoling, he met more than [-] rebels, all of whom were captured by him.Zhang Xun separated these rebels, and killed all the Tanzhou soldiers and Hu people in Xingyang. Chen Liuyan in Xingyang dismissed the soldiers and let them return to their respective occupations.

This approach is similar to Wang Hua's, but Wang Hua is more ruthless, even dispatching soldiers, and they will all be slaves.Because of successive victories, more than 1 common people broke away from the rebels and came to join them, which was a little bit of a stretch.

Due to the long-term defense of the city, Yong's soldiers were running out of food. At this time, Zhang Xun learned that Linghu Chao was transporting hundreds of rice from Juyang Canal and passing through Yongqiu City, so he sent troops to fight at night.This time, he killed countless rebels again and allowed Zhang Xun to get thousands of dendrobium salt rice.

Linghu Chao was furious. In October, Linghu Chao and Wang Fude attacked Yongqiu with an army of more than 1. Zhang Xun attacked and defeated him, beheading more than a thousand people.In December, Linghu Chao came again, and Zhang Xun repelled him.

Linghu Chao and Li Tingwang attacked Yongqiu, but failed for several months, so they set up Qizhou and built Qizhou City in the north of Yongqiu City, in an attempt to cut off food aid from Yongqiu.At the same time, tens of thousands of troops were often sent to attack Yongqiu. Zhang Xun had only a thousand troops, but he was able to repel the rebels every time.At this time, Wang Hua had already entered Chang'an, but the generals from all over the country refused to accept him, so he proclaimed himself king and continued to call Li Longji the reign name, as did Li Ju, the king of Guo, the Jiedu envoy of Henan.He appointed Zhang Xun as the vanguard envoy.This month, Lu County, Dongping, and Jiyin all fell into the hands of the rebels.The rebel general Yang Chaozong led 3000 infantry and cavalry to attack Ningling and cut off Zhang Xun's retreat.This made the situation worse, so Zhang Xun withdrew from Yongqiu and held Ningling to the east. Only then did he meet Xu Yuan, the prefect of Juyang.At that time, he had only 1 horses and [-] soldiers. However, when Yang Chaozong led his army to the northwest of Ningling, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, and his generals Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun fought decisively with Yang Chaozong. Dozens of times, the rebels were defeated, more than [-] enemies were killed, more than [-] generals were beheaded, and the dead bodies were filled with Bianshui.

Although Wang Hua was very distressed because of the uncooperativeness of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, he could borrow the name of Li Longji and order Zhang Xun to be the Jiedu envoy of Henan, temporarily acting as an agent of military and political affairs in Henan.But this imperial decree was confiscated by Li Ju, and only given more than [-] positions to Captain Zhechong and Captain Guoyi, without even any rewards.Zhang Xun wrote a letter to question him, but Li Ju didn't reply.

Juyang land is the key point of Juyang canal, and its position is very important.At this time, Wang Hua was concentrating on managing Guanzhong Longyou Lingwu, and went to war with Tubo. The rebels had no choice but to turn their attention to Jianghuai.But to conquer Jianghuai, Juyang must be conquered.

So An Lushan asked his son An Qingxu to send his generals to join Luo, Turkic, Xi and Khitan elites with Yang Chaozong's troops, a total of 10,000+ people, to attack Juyang.

At this time, Ju Yang welcomed a guest.

Hebei, Henan, and Shandong have already been harmed. Wang Hua did not want Anlu Mountain to harm Jianghuai again, so he sent someone to contact Zhang Xun to provide a large number of weapons.

But was rejected by Zhang Xun, he said: "Go back and report to your master, and I will be a traitor. I won't accept the food that comes here."

Then began a bitter battle with the rebels.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Zhang Xun met Xu Yuan. Knowing that his military ability was not as good as Zhang Xun's, he recommended Zhang Xun as the commander-in-chief, and took care of the army rations and supplies.After Zhang Xun took office, he immediately killed the leading general Tian Xiurong, and then took the initiative to attack the rebels taking advantage of the vanguard of the rebels coming from afar.Returning after a big victory, he seized a large number of horses, horses, cattle and sheep. Zhang Xun distributed all these spoils to the soldiers, and he didn't want any of them.At this time, when the wheat was ripe, the main force of the rebel army arrived, and they harvested the wheat for the army rations.After Zhang Xun saw it in the city, he assembled his troops and beat the drums to pretend to be out of the city.The rebels immediately stopped harvesting wheat for battle.Zhang Xun then stopped beating the drums and let the army rest.Repeatedly, the rebels let down their vigilance.Zhang Xun asked Nan Jiyun to lead his army to open the gate of the city, and went straight to Yin Ziqi's camp, beheading the general and pulling the flag.At the same time, the rebel army had more than 1000 fine cavalry, approaching the city and recruiting Zhang Xun to surrender.While Zhang Xun was talking to the rebel generals in the city, he secretly ordered dozens of people to hang from the city with hooks, knives, crossbows, and longbows, and sneak into the waterless moat. When they were not on guard, the warriors fought bravely, but the rebels were caught off guard and lost a lot of troops again.

In July, the rebels besieged the city again. At this time, there was no food in the city. The soldiers could only get a spoonful of rice every day. They were so hungry that they could only eat bark and paper. Some were so hungry that they ate mud to relieve their hunger.Zhang Xun sent Nan Jiyun out from the east gate of the city to call for reinforcements.But He Lan Jinming, who supported the self-respect of the soldiers, was the minister who took away Yan Zhenqing's military power, and Xu Shuji and Shang Heng who were stationed in Pengcheng waited and refused to send troops.Only Li Ben, who was stationed at Zhenyuan, aided a hundred horses, and the guard of Ningling aided 3000 soldiers.But these soldiers broke out of the siege through Nan Jiyun, and only a thousand or so remained in Juyang City.

The rebels learned that there was no food in the city, and some soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't even draw their weak bows, so they stepped up their attack on the city.At this time, the defenders of the city also persuaded Zhang and Xu to break out of the siege. Zhang Xun discussed with Xu Yuan and believed that Juyang was the barrier of the Jianghuai River.

At this time, the rebels attacked the city with ladders, and Zhang Xun ordered his soldiers to overturn the ladders with hooks, and immediately threw fire from the top of the city to burn the ladders.I had no choice but to use cleverness, and I was too hungry to forcibly overturn it.Seeing that the ladder was ineffective, the rebels attacked the city with hook carts and wooden horses, but when they approached the city wall, they were smashed to pieces by stones dropped from the top of the city.The rebels then besieged the city and dug trenches, built fences outside the trenches, and besieged for a long time.This is also the worst strategy to be forced to help.

This trick really works.The attack in the city was ineffective and there was no food. Many soldiers starved to death.

Seeing the low morale, Zhang Xun tied up his concubine and put him in the courtyard.

Nan Jiyun said in amazement: "Marshal, what are you going to do?"

This little concubine is usually well educated and handsome, but these days, she sews quilts for soldiers and takes care of the wounded, and is very popular among soldiers.
Zhang Xun said: "Instead of starving to death, let everyone eat it."

"Marshal, it's absolutely impossible." Nan Jiyun burst into tears, and all the soldiers burst into tears when they heard it. (This is the real situation of some people attacking Zhang Xun later, I don't know what these people think, I shake my head)
At this moment, many strange voices came from outside the city, Lei Wanchun strode in and shouted: "Keep people under the knife, keep people under the knife!"

Because six arrows hit his face, his face was extraordinarily ugly and ferocious, but at this moment, his face was full of excitement. He picked up Zhang Xun and carried him to the top of the city. The south came all over the sky, holding a pipe in his hand, and kept spraying flames. The rebels fell down like straws.

　PS: Zhuangzai, in the Anshi Rebellion, the real heroes are undoubtedly Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan.With thousands of weak troops, sticking to Yongqiu and Juyang, fighting hard for two years, more than 12 battles, annihilating [-] rebels, so that the rebels can never take a step in Jianghuai, ensuring the lives of nearly tens of millions of people in Jianghuai.Moreover, the smooth flow of water transportation in Jianghan was guaranteed, which bought precious time for the Tang army to organize a counterattack.This is the real history of keeping loyalty.The finale of the next chapter.
