Has always been bleak

In the first month of the second year of Zhide, Emperor An Lushan of Dayan died in an explosion. His son An Qingxu led the army to attack Henan. Zhang Xun defended Suiyang with less than [-] people and pinned tens of thousands of rebels here. It was hard to support a single tree, so Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi retreated steadily, turned to the east, and divided their troops to cross the Yellow River in order to take Qingzhou.

Shi Siming did not intend to attack Qingzhou by force. He is already in a state of distress. Qingzhou is such a difficult bone, and he wants to outsmart it.

I've figured out a way, and it should work.

This method is actually very simple, it is to confuse the Qingzhou army.Because Murong Xiang, the only son of Murong Zhilian, the governor of Qingzhou, is in his hands.

Since the uprising, Anshi's army has successively captured Luoyang and Chang'an, and captured many children of high-ranking officials. Most of these dudes are soft-boned, and they surrendered to Dayan in order to survive. He became the official of Dayan.

It's a pity that these officials are just false titles, and the biggest role of these dandies is actually just as hostages, holding these people to the next stop of the stubborn city, crying and howling for a while, the people in the city often start to be chaotic.Under the walls are your own sons, younger brothers, and nephews. Can you still wave the command flag in your hand?Even if you have the heart, your subordinates can't, as long as one person starts to hesitate, the morale of the army will be unstable.Either the general suspects his subordinates, or the subordinates doubt his generals, even if no one doubts, the subordinates will shout a few more words such as "Your son is already a member of my Dayan, even if you don't surrender at this time, your emperor I won't trust you anymore, and I will kill you sooner or later." If this is the case, the people in the city must be in a panic.

The defenders are confused, and the city will be easier to fight.

Since the beginning of the war, this move has been tried and failed. Shi Siming thinks that it should be easy to use here in Qingzhou. After all, Murongxiang's mother, Princess Jincheng, is also in Qingzhou. Grandpa is cruel, can grandma be cruel?In addition, Murong Xiang is very obedient and cooperative. Since he was captured, he asked and said what he asked, did what he asked to do, and whoever he was asked to identify. After the destruction of Chang'an City, many high-ranking officials who disguised themselves relied on him. Only captured one by one.This person is really a very useful pawn, so he will never make it to the city and shout: "Where the officers and soldiers have recovered! They will come to help in a few days! You must persevere! Don't worry about me!" Stupid thing that made his tooth hurt.

Rong Xiang was pushed out, stood tremblingly in front of the formation of the two armies, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted at the top of the wall: "Grandpa! I'm Xiang'er!"

The voice was broken, obviously crying, and the last word made a trembling turn. Hearing Shi Siming's frown, he asked someone to find a sergeant with a loud voice to speak for Rong Xiang.

Sure enough, there was a commotion on the top of the city. After a while, a general in full armor stood on the top of the city and shouted angrily: "The thief is plotting to disturb our morale, don't trust him! My son is already in Chang'an City." To die for the country at the time of breaking is not my son!"

Rong Xiang broke out in a cold sweat, Grandpa, you are so ruthless!

He also shouted: "Grandpa! It's really me! I'm not dead!"

The soldiers next to him turned up the volume and shouted together: "I'm not dead!"

The general in the city yelled: "You say it's my son, do you have evidence?"

Rong Xiang was taken aback, the rebels had already begun to scrutinize his hands and feet maliciously, apparently planning to cut off some part and send it to the city to prove his identity.

Rong Xiang hurriedly shouted: "I have evidence! Grandpa has two moles on his buttocks! I saw it when I was a child peeking at Grandpa taking a shower!"

The soldiers next to him also shouted: "Grandpa has two moles on his butt!"

The general at the head of the city staggered obviously, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you still alive! Surrender to the rebels, what face do you have to come to see me!"

Rong Xiang cried and cried: "Grandpa! Do you really have the heart to see your son die!" He fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face.

The general on the top of the wall turned around and went down the wall, as if he couldn't bear to look any further.

Shi Siming sneered: "Let that kid just kneel there! I want to see how long Murong Zhilian can resist!"

The two armies above and below the city faced each other, and in the middle of a large open space, the figure of Rong Xiang kneeling there was very clear.

Chen Shi lined up, Rong Xiang couldn't hold on before he knelt down to Si Shi, he staggered, his eyes turned white, the rebels were afraid that he would die, so they fed him a few mouthfuls of water, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and found another wooden The stake poked into the ground next to him, and Rong Xiang knelt while supporting the stake.

The sun was rising gradually, making people's eyes blurry. Rong Xiang felt that if he continued in the sun, even if he didn't die of exhaustion and starvation, he would be dried up in the sun. He sucked his teeth and pondered for a while, then walked forward on his knees. Move little by little, shouting while moving: "Grandfather! My son is dying! Save my son!"

With a wave of the command flag on the top of the city, thousands of arrows were fired, Rong Xiang got up extremely quickly, rolled and crawled back to the original position, behind him was densely packed with long arrows nailed to the ground.The rebels were still in shock, and grabbed Rong Xiang: "How dare you make your own decisions, kid! Why are you running forward!"

Rong Xiang's complexion was pale, blood dripped from his chapped lips, his limbs were limp, and he hung on the hand of the rebel half dead, and said: "I...I can't hold on anymore..."

The rebels scolded: "You bastard!" But seeing that Rong Xiang didn't look like a fake, he had no choice but to repay Shi Siming.

Shi Siming was also furious, but he really couldn't just let this kid die like this, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the camp temporarily. However, he still cut off half of Rong Xiang's hair, and even a letter of persuasion dictated by him and written by Rong Xiang Attached to the arrow and shot into the city.

Early the next morning, Rong Xiang was forced to kneel down to the city again.This time Shi Siming learned his lesson and asked two soldiers with huge shields to stand beside him, on the one hand to block the arrows that might shoot down from the top of the city, and on the other hand, to provide shade for this kid.Before setting off, Rong Xiang used all available materials to make two soft cushions for himself, and now they were tied to his knees, and the pain finally didn't feel like it did yesterday.But he still has to shout for hard work, and he will have water to drink after humming a few times. He hums very diligently.

He was so afraid of death and pain, which made Shi Siming feel more at ease.

On the second day, the general did not appear at the top of the city, but a woman in Chinese clothes was crying heartbreakingly at the top of the city. Rong Xiang also cried together, and there was a lot of wailing in the city.

Today, Rong Xiang moved forward a lot, but he didn't shoot any more arrows from the top of the city.

On the third day, before Rong Xiang knelt under the city again, the city of Qingzhou was already full of noise.The general came, and so did the woman in Chinese clothes, tearing and crying at the top of the city. After tossing for a long time, the woman in Chinese clothes was sent out of the city.

Shi Siming saw the signs, and asked someone to drive Rong Xiang forward, and continued to shout to the top of the city.

Unexpectedly, the general bent his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow pierced through the air. With a bang, the long arrow was nailed to a place less than five steps away from Rong Xiang's body: "Stop! If you dare to cross this position, I will kill you with one arrow." about you!"

Rong Xiang hurriedly stopped and cried, "Grandfather! You must save me! You are the only son like me!"

The scream of the woman in the city: "Murong old thief! This is my only son! If you dare to hurt my son, I will never end with you!"

The general at the top of the city really lowered his bow and arrow gradually. The rebels looked at Dale, and Shi Siming also made up his mind. It seems that Qingzhou is just around the corner.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and Rong Xiang, who had been half dead, suddenly jumped up, threw off the two soldiers beside him, and rushed forward!

At the same time, all arrows are fired at the top of the city.

However, they all aimed at Rong Xiang's back.

Rong Xiang's footsteps were extremely fast, and he rushed a few steps in a row, heading straight for the arrow shot by the general at the top of the city just now, but Shi Siming was a hero after all, and he had already reacted at this time, and countless arrows were shot at Rong Xiang's empress. Backshot.

Seeing that Rong Xiang was about to die under the random arrows, suddenly the ground opened, and a figure broke through the ground quickly and inexorably, hugged Rong Xiang and rolled on the ground, unexpectedly submerged under the soil layer!

Shi Siming was shocked, but the situation of the battle had changed so drastically that he couldn't allow him to think too much. Two heavy cavalry had rushed towards his wings, their horseshoes roaring, and they were unstoppable.

Counted!

The two armies quickly strangled together, and the place where Rong Xiang disappeared just now was instantly submerged by the two armies fighting together.

In the tunnel, Xiao Yi hugged Rong Xiang tightly, almost prostrate in the tunnel, and crawled extremely quickly.

In the darkness, only Rong Xiang's eyes were astonishingly bright. He wrapped his hands around Xiao Yi's neck, and his legs were wrapped around Xiao Yi's waist. There was almost no gap between the two of them, and Xiao Yi's smell was also gone It inevitably poured into Rong Xiang's nose.

Dust, blood, sweat.

It seemed that every time Xiao Yi appeared like this, smelly and dirty, but he just didn't want to let go.

The ground was trembling, and the wood supporting the tunnel trembled too. There were too many people on the ground, and the tunnel seemed to be unable to hold on, so Xiao Yi moved even faster.

It was less than a foot away from the end of the tunnel, and the light on the other side of the tunnel could almost be seen. Suddenly, the surrounding wood trembled violently, and collapsed in the blink of an eye, and a crossbar fell heavily.

Xiao Yi jumped forward suddenly, but was still swept by the crossbar. In the blink of an eye, he curled up desperately, trying to create a safe space under himself. With a bang, the crossbar fell down, and he was hit hard on the back. With a muffled snort, a mouthful of blood spewed out, he hurriedly turned his head, a few drops of blood still splashed on Rong Xiang's face, after that he couldn't support anymore, half kneeling softly on Rong Xiang's body.

This series of accidents actually only happened in a short moment, and when the dust settled, the two of them were pinned down by the crossbar, unable to move.

"Brother!" Rong Xiang's hands and feet were all suppressed, and he couldn't move, so he could only shout into Xiao Yi's ear, "Brother!"

Xiao Yi moved slightly, and tried to arch his body, but found that he couldn't move, so he fell down again: "It's me, stop shouting, my ears will be broken by shouting at you."

Rong Xiang wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, gritted his teeth for a while, and suddenly bit Xiao Yi's ear, and said vaguely: "Why are you looking for death!"

Xiao Yi panted for a moment, and his breath sprayed on Rong Xiang's neck, which seemed to be bloody: "You can, come to court death, why can't I come?"

Rong Xiang let go of his teeth and said angrily: "Now we both die here together, are you happy?"

Xiao Yi coughed, his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, only a slight smile was heard in his tone: "Don't worry, I won't die, didn't you hear the sound of digging the ground in the city? We have already reached the city wall , Lower your head, hold on, after a while, you will be able to go out."

Rong Xiang actually heard the sound of shoveling soil from the direction of the inner city, but he didn't know how Xiao Yi was injured. He was really panicked and had to find something to say. In great pain, he said: "Your injury, is it because the old injury in Shibao City did not heal? It has been left until now?"

Xiao Yi gasped again, and said, "You really have to, ask now? Don't be afraid of me, take a breath, if you can't get up, suffocate to death?"

Rong Xiang was so angry that his chest felt tight, he simply closed his mouth and eyes, and waited.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi's low voice rang in his ears: "It's so good... Arthur, it's so good... I... I finally... Finally saved you... I... Before... Before... ...I've always been scared. It's so...so good..."

Before the words fell, Xiao Yi's body softened and he passed out.

Shi Siming's army retreated, the Qingzhou army was already extremely strong, and Murong Zhilian took advantage of his siege for the past few days to set up an ambush outside the city, and launched it in one fell swoop today, the Anshi rebel army has long since ceased to start due to successive defeats Brave and brave, he was charged by the Qingzhou army at this time, and the morale of the army was gone, so Shi Siming had to lead his troops back.

In Qingzhou City, Xiao Yi, who was seriously injured, and Rong Xiang, who was not so seriously injured, were lying in a room recuperating.

Suo Luhou couldn't help it, Rong Xiang wanted to stay in the same room with Xiao Yi, but he refused, Princess Jincheng wanted to show him to death first: "Your son has returned from a catastrophe, and you can't even agree to such a small request? "

So now, when Xiao Yi opened his eyes, what he faced was that the two had been sleeping together for more than ten days without his knowledge.

Rong Xiang only suffered minor injuries to his hands and feet, and after more than ten days of confinement, his movements are completely fine, but Xiao Yi suffered serious internal injuries, and was ordered by the military doctor to lie on the couch and not move around.

The military doctor had too many things to do, Xiao Yi finally woke up, he also breathed a sigh of relief, changed Xiao Yi's medicine, and left after a few words of advice. Rong Xiang lay on the side of the couch, staring at Xiao Yi without blinking, Staring at it made Xiao Yi's back numb: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"The guard from Taiyuan left his post and came to Qingzhou, General Xiao, you are quite courageous."

"I..." Xiao Yi said, "I am not here to escort your elder sister to Qingzhou, but also to live up to your trust."

Rong Xiang snorted: "You are also a great general after all, with so many people under your command, do you have to personally escort him?"

Xiao Yi argued: "Nowadays the world is so chaotic, I don't feel relieved to let others do it."

Rong Xiang looked unhappy: "Why don't you worry! Is it so difficult to say that you miss me and come to save me!"

Xiao Yi was tongue-tied for a while, and then he gave in under Rong Xiang's murderous eyes, and said bravely, "Yes, I'm worried about you."

"Worry about me, why did you leave me alone in Chang'an?" Rong Xiang continued to press.

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I was wrong about this matter. I was young and ignorant at the time, and I didn't understand your painstaking efforts."

Rong Xiang was reasonable and unforgiving: "Since you know you were wrong, why didn't you come to Chang'an to find me in the next few years?"

Xiao Yi was forced to have nothing to say, and asked back: "Didn't you also come to see me? I am in the army, I can't move freely, and it's not like you can leave whenever you want."

Rong Xiang raised his eyebrows high: "You can't move freely? Then you can't even write a letter?"

Xiao Yi was questioned again, and after a long time, Fang said, "You...you haven't written to me..."

Rong Xiang was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Yi's neck: "How dare you say it? If I hadn't asked around, I wouldn't even know where you are, so how could I write a letter?"

The morning light came in from the window lattice and reflected on Rong Xiang's face, his flushed cheeks were extremely vivid.

Xiao Yi's heart suddenly softened, he stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Rong Xiang's obviously haggard face: "You've lost weight."

Rong Xiang never expected that Xiao Yi would take the initiative to get close to him, his lips were slightly parted in shock, he stared at Xiao Yi in a daze, and the hand holding Xiao Yi's neck loosened unknowingly.

Xiao Yi held Rong Xiang's hand, and pulled it down slightly, Rong Xiang's feet went limp, and he fell beside him, Xiao Yi hugged him, and said in a low voice: "You've lost weight, but you're still alive. Arthur, you have no idea how glad I am to see you alive."

Rong Xiang's nose was sour and astringent: "I'm still alive, and you're still alive." He sniffed, "Although so many people died, fortunately, you and I are still alive."

To live, there is hope.

He suddenly struggled out again, staring at Xiao Yi with burning eyes: "Don't you ask me how I survived from the rebels? I did a lot of bad things so that they didn't kill me, don't you ask?" ?”

The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he said, "You can explain it to me slowly later, anyway, I know you will always be the Arthur I knew before, and that's enough."

The war may continue for many years, and people's livelihood is so strong. In the chaotic world, it is difficult for everyone to survive.When someone can share weal and woe, there is sweetness in no matter how much blood and tears.

As long as you are alive, there is hope. Sooner or later, you can see the dawn.

Extra:

About attacking and receiving.

Force value comparison: General Xiao has great strength, while Rong Jianjun has little strength.General Xiao was victorious.

Comparison of experience points: General Xiao has zero, while Rong Jianjun has experienced hundreds of battles.Rong joined the army and won.

The poor general Xiao with zero experience used his strength to attack once, and the veteran Rong Canjun endured it with red eyes, but the process was too painful, and Rong Canjun refused to agree to a second attack.

But General Xiao was too strong, and Rong Canjun couldn't push General Xiao down no matter what, and started a cold war in anger.

General Xiao softened first. This is the first time he experienced this kind of unusual fighting. General Xiao couldn't stop, so he had to put down his body and change his tricks to coax Rong Jianjun. Rong Canjun saw his intentions and was unmoved.

General Xiao resorted to his trump card, pretending to be injured, and tricked Rong Canjun into throwing himself into a trap. He ran into his big tent and was forcibly detained.

But the next day, Rong Canjun didn't lie on the bed with tears in his eyes for more than ten days like the first time, but ran in and out with high spirits. On the contrary, it was General Xiao who uncharacteristically stopped his morning class that day.

It is said, but it is said that someone overheard these two conversations outside the tent: "I am at the top! I am going to be at the top!"

"Why?" The general suppressed his anger, "I want to lead the army to fight, this will affect the action too much!"

"Why?" Join the army confidently, "Because I'm afraid of pain!"

The author has something to say: (It is said that An Lushan was killed by his personal guards, and his son An Qingxu was an accomplice. I believe this statement. If you do unrighteous deeds, you will kill yourself. Evil people will be punished by evil people.)

(Everyone knows about the battle of Suiyang. Zhang Xun defended Suiyang for ten months, pinning down more than [-] rebels here. From January to October in the second year of Zhide, for ten months, he was alone, alone in the city.

In October of the second year of Zhide, Shi Siming was forced to surrender to Tang. Although it was a fake, he rebelled half a year later, but it also showed that the situation at that time was very unfavorable to the Anshi rebels. The Battle of Suiyang played a crucial role in it. .

The Battle of Suiyang was too bloody and tragic, so I didn't dare to write about it, so I just skipped it. )

(Shi Siming did not fight Qingzhou, at least I have not seen historical records of Shi Siming fighting Qingzhou, it is completely nonsense. Qingzhou belonged to Pinglu at that time, and the vicinity of Pinglu Town was the territory of Khitan and Xiren, and their influence could radiate Liaodong, Liaoxi. Pinglu Jiedushi was originally Anlu Mountain. After Fan Yang raised troops on Anlu Mountain, Anshi's forces gradually faded from Pinglu. After several mutinies, Pinglu King's forces prevailed. Pinglu's position is very special. It was behind the enemy lines of the Anshi rebels, so it has always been the front line of countering the rebellion, and the internal and external troubles were also very difficult, but it was not as sensitive as the battle in Henan and Hebei.

There was a famous person in the Pinglu army named Li Zhengji, whose real name was Li Huaiyu, a native of Goguryeo. He was the deputy general of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy at that time. He went south with the army to suppress the rebellion and entered the border of Qingzhou. boss.The imperial court had no choice but to recognize him by pinching his nose, and named him the first Observation Envoy of Pinlu Ziqing Jiedu, and gave him the name Zhengji.During Daizong [the grandson of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, the son of Tang Suzong Li Heng, the original Guangping King Li Yu], Li Zhengji expanded his power again, with 35 troops to separate the side, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren occupied Qingzhou for decades. , was one of the important feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, and later in the reign of Emperor Xianzong [Xianzong was known as the Little Taizong, and the emperor did a good job. A little anticlimactic] was recovered.At that time, the imperial court had just pacified Huaixi, and took Qingzhou again by taking advantage of the great victory.In the process of pacifying Huaixi, the famous story of Li Lixue entering Caizhou at night appeared. He marched [-] kilometers under heavy snow in the middle of the night, and succeeded in a surprise attack.However, many people died on the road when forced to march in bad weather, and Li Yang was also a ruthless person. )

(Chasing Tiansheng Changge these days is like dreaming. I stop and watch frame by frame in many places. It feels like I have vividly reproduced the scenes of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that I can imagine and unimaginable. It’s better The props were only seen in museums before, but now they have become splendid and gorgeous objects... Different styles and styles fully reflect their life-like functions. I can feel the prosperous Tang Dynasty through the screen. I I believe that there must be something derived by the prop group based on other historical materials. It is not exactly the original appearance of the Tang Dynasty, but it is already enough. Unless there is a time travel, no one knows what the original Tang Dynasty looks like. History Once the past has passed, there is no way to reproduce it as it is. What is left is the records and interpretations of later generations, and there is no way to be truly real. I can see this level of Tang style Reappearing, I was really happy to explode, and then I looked back at what I wrote, and the huge gap made me feel powerless.

Challenge the Tang Dynasty, challenge real people who have existed in history, challenge political struggles, challenge troubled times, challenge wars, challenge martial arts... How overwhelmed am I to choose this theme?This is all my short board.But in this story, I tried it all.

No matter how serious the writing is, I can’t hide the fact that the story was written badly. Under this series of challenges, I don’t have any more thoughts to think about the main line of emotion, so I feel that the relationship between the two people has not fallen behind. In reality, it is very floating and empty, so it may be difficult to resonate.

Fortunately, there are still people who accompany me all the way to the end, Miss Qingqi, I love you, ya! )
