The first thousand two hundred and thirty nine chapters
On the first day of the encirclement of the army, Youzhou City was broken. To be fair, Du Shiyi didn't expect it at all. After all, when An Qingxu, Yan Zhuang and Li Guiren and others were guarding Anyang City in Ye County, they had been siege by the three armies ahead for more than 20 days. After he arrived, he resisted for more than ten days. Shi Siming was always a general who was better than those in front of him. How could it be so unhelpful? However, when he stepped into Youzhou City, he saw that many disarmed rebel soldiers on both sides of the street were being watched and knelt there, and most of them looked confused and had a rough answer.
When An Lushan first revolted, he was known as 200,000, but in fact there were 150,000. I have never heard of the civil and military officials in the Peaceful Army of the Peaceful Army of the Lu Jiedushi, who were killed because of opposition to the revolt. The sons of famous officials, including Xue Song, Zhang Tongru and others, all followed the rebellion, and they were extremely powerful. However, when such momentum was interrupted by the head and then turned into a defeat, don't expect the soldiers to go all the way to the dark.
Li Longji, who once founded the Kaiyuan prosperous era, was arrogant and licentious in his later years, and lost all his heart. Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong took power one after another. An Lushan added fuel to the fire. Of course, some people were eager to try and hoped to become a hero of the dragon. Although today, although the son was still on the throne, Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuyao were both dead. The Yang family was almost wiped out and removed from office like a sweeping away. The person holding the power was replaced by Du Shiyi. Unlike the Tang army in history that attacked the rebels, they had their own plans. On the contrary, the rebels were confused. Even if Shi Siming had great skills, it would be difficult to save such a situation.
"Marson, look"
Du Shiyi, who was in a daze, looked up and saw that somehow several people suddenly ran out of the street that had been cleaned up in Yujing. They were mostly dressed in simple clothes, or simply, and regardless of the soldiers chasing behind them, they ran to the middle of the road, and then knelt down unevenly. The person in charge shouted: "I dare to ask the marshal to eliminate the harm to the people of Youzhou."
After breaking through the heavy defenses and making such a request, Du Shiyi was surprised. He nodded to Huya, who immediately ordered the fang soldiers to come forward and took the man in the lead to the left and right. When the person approached, Du Shiyi discovered that there was an old man outside of fifty years old, with a thin figure and a little elegant, as if he was not a person in the army. He signaled the fang soldiers to let go of the person, and then asked: "Who are you? Why do you say to eliminate harm?"
"Report to the Marshal, Lao I was a scholar from Ji County, Youzhou. His name is not worth mentioning. He only taught his private school because he was not successful in the imperial examination. As for the elimination of harms... "The old man stood up straight and suddenly pointed his hand at the many rebels on both sides of the road, saying word by word, "Marrior, there are so many rebels on both sides of the road, but in fact more than half of them were all the strong men who were forced to join the city with the so-called military law teams and had no children. However, there were more than ten students in the private school, the youngest was only fifteen years old, and they were also forced to join the army. Therefore, I beg the Marshal to infer the great harm of forcing the recruitment of troops and pardon those innocent people who were forced into the army and now have a reputation as a rebel."
It was approaching Shen Shi, but the sun in the sky was still vicious. The surrendered soldiers knelt on both sides of the avenue in dejectedly. However, when they heard the old man's words, many people couldn't help but raise their heads. Some people subconsciously wanted to yell and agree with something, but only heard a loud voice coming from Du Shiyi's side: "Silent and quiet"
After the buzzing sound around this area stopped for a while, Du Shiyi said, "I have said before that those who surrender will be exempted from death. So, don't say that those new soldiers who were forced into the army, even those who were rebel soldiers can be exempted from death after identification. Since you stop the horse and ask me to eliminate the harm, I will reiterate here that the thief rebellion is unforgivable. Follow the rebellion and fight stubbornly. Those who are stubborn will be killed without mercy. The rest will be exempted from death within ten days. The government will record the registration and identification. If a man Ding was forced into the army in the village, a village official will have a guarantee to submit it to the government, and it should be released as soon as possible."
Faced with such a promise, the old man was ecstatic and hurriedly thanked him. The rebel soldiers on both sides of the avenue who were waiting for the decision of fate were also relieved. I don’t know who shouted the marshal’s kindness. Such praises came one after another, as if we were welcoming him, and he kept sending Du Shiyi and his party to the Fanyang Jiedu Mansion.
If the original intention of Wu Chengen and Wu Chengyan brothers, I wish I could go out of the city to greet Du Shiyi, but as Shi Siming broke through, the city was in chaos, the city was in chaos. After Anbei Chief Zhang Xing entered the city from the north gate, he immediately asked them to join Shi Chaoyi to quickly appease the rebel generals in the city and at the same time suppress the order in the city. If various vicious incidents such as looting, arson, and murder could be effectively curbed, they would reward them for their merits in front of Du Shiyi. Therefore, the Wu brothers, who were over 130 years old, were busy for nearly two hours, but at this moment, they were standing at the gate of the Fanyang Jiedu Mansion, they could not help but feel weak.
Although he has made contributions, can the previous crime be eliminated? Can the future of the Wu family members be preserved?
Therefore, when Du Shiyi got off the horse, the two of them bowed together, saying that they were guilty and apologized.
The name of the Wu brothers was once heard when Du Shiyi came to the north to watch the wind at the beginning of Kaiyuan. More than ten years later, King Xin'an Li Wei conquered the Khitan. Du Shiyi followed Pei Yaoqing to transport food and fodder in Youzhou, and also saw Wu Chenggui who followed the army to return triumphantly and made great contributions. Therefore, he must not be unfamiliar with the two dragons of the Yuanmen who followed An Lushan's rebellion. However, thinking that these two people failed to succeed in the surprise attack on Youzhou, and a battle delayed for several months, even killing the three clans of Jia Xun. He was not without contempt in his heart, but after all, Wu Chengen and Wu Chenggui were able to seize Youzhou so quickly.
"Your Majesty will make a decision for both of you, so you don't have to apologize to me. I think when I was young, I heard the name of the two dragons in the gate. At first I heard that there were you and the two of you who were in the rebellion of An Thief, and I regretted it. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the two of you were able to stand on the opposite side and protect the people in Youzhou City and the city."
Seeing Du Shiyi nodding slightly to him, Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen looked at each other and then silently went forward to help the two of them up. When they found that the Wu brothers recognized them, their faces were extremely subtle. Cui Qianyou didn't know what to say. When Du Shiyi had already walked into the Fanyang Jiedu Mansion, Tian Qianzhen said: "Marantor Du's words must be fulfilled. Before, Sun Xiaozhe also made great contributions and is now a subordinate general in the Forward Camp. I think that since the two have offered Youzhou City, it is better to reward Sun Xiaozhe in terms of merits and practice."
When Wu Chengen heard that Sun Xiaozhe had only the subordinate general now, his heart skipped a beat. Wu Chengren looked at Cui Ganyou and Tian Ganzhen, and found that the two of them were similar in appearance as Du Shiyi's left and right teeth. He couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the two have surrendered before, but I still don't believe it, but I don't think it's true. Since General Sun is a subordinate general, what about the two?"
"Come from Ye County, I have made contributions to persuade surrender all the way. Now we are the commanders of the left and right troupes." Cui Ganyou said angrily. Seeing that the Wu brothers showed an unconcealed look of depression, he didn't know that these two people were still looking for higher treatment. He glanced at Tian Ganzhen, and they actually left them and quickly walked into the Jiedu Mansion. Until the two white-haired men were no longer in sight, Cui Ganyou whispered, "I have seen through it. Marshal Du is really a good method. Guo, Cheng, and Pugu, they have almost no relatives and alienation to these three people, and they also value Hunshizhi very much. I reward them on the merits, as for us rebel generals..."
"For us, we won't give soldiers to prevent them from being in the predatory position." Tian Ganzhen answered, and then smiled, "It's a pity that the two brothers of the Wu family are probably going to fail. They are already rebels. They still hope to be successful in their achievements in the city and become the governor of Fanyang?"
"Ahao, if it were you, who would you think this Fan Yang Jiedushi would be?"
"I want me to say..." Tian Ganzhen pondered for a moment, and saw that Du Shiyi and his group could already see it, so he said thoughtfully, "The biggest possibility is Pugu Huai'en, or Zhang Xing. But comforting Hebei Road is not easy. How many people have we recruited over the way? If you want to say that you can really suppress the situation, I am afraid that even Pugu Huai'en is not qualified. Moreover, don't forget the news you heard before."
How could Cui Ganyou not be interested? The envoy sent by the court to surrender Shi Siming was blocked in Wangdu of Boling County for some reason. Now that Du Shiyi has seized Youzhou City earlier, what will the reaction there be? Now Du Shiyi's situation is countless times better than the lord An Lushan they served. Will this marshal who is less than ten thousand people and has the most elite military power in the Tang Dynasty rebelled?
Whether it was the Youzhou Governor's Office or the Youzhou Jiedushi, Du Shiyi had visited them. Now that he has entered the festival hall, he looked around for a week and asked Cui Ganyou and Tian Ganzhen who followed him: "After An Lushan entered the place, it seems that all the furnishings have been changed."
"Yes, An Lushan likes luxury, so he spent money to completely renovate the entire festival." To this day, Tian Ganzhen has finally gotten used to changing the name of An Lushan that day. However, for the place he was most familiar with before, he felt like an outsider standing here at this moment. Seeing Du Shiyi sitting down on the seat of An Lushan in the past with a smile, his face twitched slightly.
But that was not the imperial throne that An Qingxu was invaded by the prefect of Ye County. The position of the governor of Fan Yang, Du Shiyi, as the marshal of the recruitment, could be sat on the seat of
"Marson, General Hun ordered someone to send an urgent report. Shi Siming has already given him a title. General Hun asked for instructions whether he could hold his head and send troops to Miyun."
"Accurately, let Hun Shizhi send troops to Miyun immediately, and urgently ordered Pugu Huai'en to send troops to Yuyang, so that Pinglu army would respond. Once Miyun and Yuyang were recovered, the entire Hebei Road would be pacified."
Shi Chaoyi was still going to recruit the defenders as Shi Siming's eldest son, and arrived later than the Wu brothers. At this moment, as soon as he arrived outside the festival hall, he heard the news of his father's death. Although he had deeply hated Shi Siming and even had the urge to kill him personally, at that moment, he couldn't help but slid on the ground, his whole body fell down, and he didn't know why he was so lost.
