The incorporation of Ma Sui is not a big deal for Gu Qing. In his eyes, Ma Sui and the two thousand soldiers under his command are just a civilian armed force, and their combat power is not worth mentioning. The real gain is Ma Sui.

Ma Sui's general is actually very good to be able to train a mob composed of farmers and refugees to this level within half a year, and his extraordinary ability can be better reflected in his layout of setting up ambush in mountain streams and fortress buildings.

After receiving surrender, he gave Ma Sui a fierce killing stick in front of the soldiers, Gu Qing ordered the withdrawal of his troops, and took away all the useful things in the fortress. The surrendered soldiers also took them away and returned to the Anxi Army camp.

Ma Sui was still a little reluctant to surrender, and was a little unconvinced with Gu Qing. It doesn't matter. Gu Qing would use time to tell him what would happen if he was not convinced by the commander of the first army.

“Are there many local united soldiers in the southern states?”

On the way back to the camp, Gu Qing asked Ma Sui thoughtfully.

Ma Sui was scolded for military sticks, and his body was so painful that he could not ride on the horse's back. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the stirrups, and stood half-squat and half-standing on the saddle. Hearing this, "After An Lushan raised an army to rebel, all the states of the Tang Dynasty were in danger. Before Chang'an lost the emperor, he issued an order to allow the governors of each state to form local united troops to prepare for the enemy. Some governors and county magistrates followed the order and recruited local young and strong soldiers to form united troops, with the number of people ranging from thousands to hundreds..."

Gu Qing glanced at him and said, "Did your united soldiers be recruited by yourself or were they instructed by the governor of Suizhou?"

"The governor of Suizhou was ordered to recruit hundreds of united soldiers. Later, he heard that the Anxi army annihilated 100,000 alien troops in Yingshui. An Lushan's rebels did not dare to go south, so the governor of Suizhou disbanded the united soldiers. After all, the government would spend a lot of money and food to support the united soldiers, so it would be better to save this expense. The last two thousand people under my command were recruited by myself."

Gu Qing sighed and said, "When you are at peace and do not think of danger, you will regret it when disaster strikes."

Ma Sui hesitated for a moment and said, "It was all the achievements of the Gongye and the Anxi Army that prevented the south of the Tang Dynasty from being poisoned by the war. Officials and people could still live and work in peace and not be abused by the rebels."

Gu Qing glanced at him again and said, "I heard you were talking bad things about me behind your back, saying that I was a person who deceived the world and robbed the world?"

Ma Sui lowered his head and said, "I will not understand the inside story and talk nonsense. Today I will know the mistakes. Please forgive me for your crime."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "If I were such a magnanimous person, what army would I do or what war? Of course, those who said bad things about me would be retaliated against me, otherwise more and more people would say bad things about me. General Ma, wait."

Ma Sui looked at him in shock.

The rumored Mr. Gu is such a person? Is it said that he is good at loving soldiers and governing the army like a son? He doesn’t play according to the routine.

Ma Sui didn't say anything for a long time, but Gu Qing said, "Who gave you the title of your shameless 'General of the Conquest of the Northern Expedition'?"

Ma Sui suddenly showed a look of embarrassment: "The general recruited united soldiers and planned to grow stronger and then headed north to fight the rebels. Naturally, he needed a legitimate official position. In the midst of chaos, the general appointed him as an official..."

"Hurry up and burn your broken flag, it's not embarrassing enough money. What is the 'General of the Conquest of the Northern Expedition'? The court has never granted such an official position. Looking back, I will send a memorial to His Highness the Crown Prince to give you a chief lieutenant. If you make contributions on the battlefield, you will have the chance to be awarded a general. Don't mention the General of the Conquest of the Northern Expedition again, it will cause me to be unable to raise my head. It's too embarrassing."

After a few words, Ma Sui was covered in bruises and said with a bleak look on his head: "...yes."

Gu Qing sneered, and had a new reputation, but he could not be accustomed to the famous generals. To allow him to quickly integrate into the Anxi Army group, he must constantly hone him, beat him, and take revenge on him, otherwise how could he feel the warmth of being at home?

When he marched out of Taibaiding, a fast horse came towards him.

The fast horse galloped in front of Gu Qing, and the knight immediately clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan, please come back quickly. Mr. Duan said that there is an emergency military situation in Chang'an City."

Gu Qing's eyes narrowed. Could it be that the emergency military situation in Chang'an City is related to Feng Yu?

"The whole army marched urgently, hurry!"

…………

Chang'an City.

After the rebels occupied Chang'an City, they did not destroy much of this former Tang Kingdom. After all, this is the place where An Lushan was about to be emperor. It is already the rebels' own city, and it is impossible to destroy it.

The rebels not only did not destroy the city, but also did not make too many embarrassment against the scholars and people in the city. Chang'an City basically maintained its original appearance. Shops in the east and west cities still opened shops to do business every day, peddlers and merchants were still running for their livelihoods, and Hu caravans entering and leaving the city gate every day were still in constant force.

The difference is that due to the war, the prices in Chang'an City have risen a lot, which has caused uneasiness among the people. An Lushan really regarded the people of Chang'an City as his own people, and even issued a ban on the price increase of grain, and killed a chicken to warn the monkey and killed several illegal merchants who took advantage of the random price increase, temporarily suppressing the price of grain.

After occupying Chang'an City, An Lushan, who had already become an ambition to become an emperor, did issue several decrees that could be considered good governance.

Many of the powerful and wealthy houses on both sides of Zhuque Street were empty. The powerful and powerful fled with Li Longji in panic, leaving empty houses occupied by rebel generals. Ironically, more than 300 officials did not leave, or had no time to escape, stayed in Chang'an City and immediately chose to rebel and surrender to the enemy, becoming An Lushan's ministers, including Wang Wei.

So now An Lushan has both civil and military affairs. When discussing affairs in Xingqing Palace every day, when he looked at the civil servants and generals standing in the hall respectfully reporting various military and civilian matters in front of him, An Lushan gradually felt a sense of vanity with pride and full of pride.

With great power in hand, life and death are taken away, An Lushan's ambitions grow wildly.

It's time.

The north has occupied it, Henan and Guanzhong are also in the middle, and half of the Tang Dynasty is in hand. The so-called emperor was beaten to flee in panic and disappeared. The entire Tang Dynasty's resistance was only the prince of Lingzhou in Shuofang and the Anxi Army in the south.

The destiny and power of heaven are all tied to one. Are the remaining two resistance forces still important?

For An Lushan, what is important is the rightful title, the orthodox kingly way of following the destiny of heaven and governing all people, and the court with a monarch and ministers.

In May of the 15th year of Tianbao, Shi Siming, the general of the rebel army, took the lead in submitting a memorial to persuade him to advance, asking An Lushan to obey the will of heaven and become the emperor.

Shi Siming took the lead, and other generals suddenly felt as if they were awakened from their dreams. They hurriedly followed the memorial and persuaded them to enter, asking An Lushan to ascend the throne.

An Lushan was just about to nod and agreed. Yan Zhuang, the adviser under his command, hurriedly grabbed him, and then told him seriously that the new king should not be so anxious as to ascend the throne. It is too ugly to eat. According to the rules, the ministers must invite him three times. The new king said three times to show his virtue of humility. In the end, he would reluctantly agree. The truth that others should not agree happily as soon as they persuade you is spread. If it is a joke forever.

An Lushan was very dissatisfied with this breaking of the rules, but since he occupied the Central Plains, he had to follow the rules of the Central Plains. So after the generals submitted a memorial to persuade him to enter, An Lushan flatly refused and scolded Shi Siming and other generals with great skill. It was rare that he could still remember his original intention when he rebelled. He reprimanded his generals and said that he was not a rebellion, but to the side of the emperor. His loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was obvious, so how could he call himself emperor and bear the infamous for the eternal infamy.

After the reprimand, other rebel generals believed in the generals and were skeptical, but Shi Siming knew very well An Lushan's ambitions, so he continued to submit a memorial to persuade him to advance.

When the generals saw Shi Siming continuing to persuade him to advance despite An Lushan's reprimand, they suddenly realized it, so they followed the memorial.

When he submitted a memorial for the second time, An Lushan refused again with a harsh expression.

Shi Siming and other ministers submitted a memorial to persuade them to enter for the third time. This time, Shi Siming invited a group of people to take care of their children from somewhere, wrote a passionate blood letter, and asked An Lushan to follow the destiny and ascend the throne. Not only that, he also contacted the generals and the people to kneel outside the Xingqing Palace gate, begging An Lushan to ascend the throne, which made the momentum quite spectacular.

This time, An Lushan did not rush to refuse, but sighed to the sky and said silently: "This is the destiny of heaven, what else do you say? I hope the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty forgives me. I am not a rebellious minister, but the destiny of heaven is the one who has to follow the heavens. Then, according to the requests of the subjects, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will temporarily ascend the throne..."

After saying that, An Lushan showed a stern look and said loudly: "If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty returns to power in the capital, I will abdicate the emperor's throne to him. Heaven and earth can prove it. I will never be greedy for power and position. I only have a loyalty to the Tang Dynasty!"

In Xingqing Palace, Shi Siming and his generals looked at him speechlessly, watching An Lushan's lips open and close, saying these extremely hypocritical and disgusting words. An Lushan's words were automatically translated into another meaning in everyone's ears, "Everyone listens, I'll fart everyone, puff--"

After a hypocritical refusal, An Lushan, like a secret prostitute disguised as a chaste woman, announced with a slight cover of the door and announced with a slight cleverness that he was about to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The official of the Taishijian rushed forward tremblingly and calculated the auspiciousness of zodiac in front of An Lushan and the generals. After some calculations, he calculated that May 26 this year was auspicious day, and it was advisable to be called emperor and be buried and carried with a coffin.

An Lushan calculated that this auspicious day was three days later, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Happiness comes so suddenly that it makes people unable to even have time to prepare a submissive posture.

So An Lushan slapped the table and decided to make the throne ceremony on May 26th. After the strategy manager Yan Zhuang and the officials of the Taishijian calculated, they asked to report to the new dynasty to be named "Dayan" and the capital to Chang'an. An Lushan happily approved it.

Civil and military officials knelt down one after another, and the king and his subjects were joking and happy.

No one noticed that in the celebrating crowd, several resentful eyes were staring at An Lushan who was so proud, with the strong murderous intent in his eyes confused in the jubilant atmosphere.

At midnight.

Several people gathered in the secret room at the residence of An Lushan’s second son An Qingxu. Under the dim shadow of the candle, several people were whispering to discuss.
