Chapter 743 Double Agent

Arrogance and self-confidence are unacceptable, and they have been raised in the chivalrous hall for a long time.

A good saddle and a good horse are begged for, and fifteen thousand spins are sold for wine.

…

All the prefectures and counties are just servants, and all the princes and princes are equal friends.

——Excerpt from "Three Poems on a Young Man's Journey Part 3" by Li Bai

…

Li Fuguo said: "Of course, any balance of power is phased. After all, each other's strengths are changing every moment. The double-act relationship between the prince and An Lushan soon came to an end.

Among the ten major feudal towns, Fanyang Town controlled the largest army, controlled the state territory, and had the largest number of troops. After becoming Fanyang Jiedushi, An Lushan's mentality quietly changed.

At first, An Lushan had no ambitions to rebel. During his trip to Chang'an and after going to court, he saw that the Tang Dynasty's military preparations were slack and his own troops were strong, so he became disobedient.

However, even so, his initial idea was to drive out the Xihe Khitan tribe, follow the example of the Bohai Commandery, and establish the Dayan Commandery in Youzhou and Yingzhou, so as to be a peaceful and peaceful local emperor who would reward and punish those who were born.

As long as Ji and Youyan were guarded, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize a large army to conquer it.

Later, An Lushan served as the governor of Hedong, Fanyang, and Pinglu towns. The total force under his command reached 185,000, accounting for more than one-third of the total force of the vassal towns in the world.

Especially after acquiring Hedong, An Lushan's ambitions were greatly stimulated.

Hedong Town and Shuofang Town are at odds with each other. They govern the Tianbing, Datong, Hengye, and Kelan armies as well as the Yunzhong Garrison Area. They are stationed in the three prefectures of Xin, Dai, and Lan. The headquarters of the Hedong Army is in Taiyuan.

Send the troops southward, there is no danger to defend Luoyang and Chang'an.

From then on, the evil and rebellious character of Anlu Mountain was always in my heart.

If we say who caused the An Lushan Rebellion, there is only one answer: Li Longji, who claimed to be a hero and a lofty man!"

At this point, Li Fuguo snorted coldly and said: "I know that all the courtiers accused me of moving the Supreme Emperor to Taiji Palace. Yan Zhenqing and others even took the lead and led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay their respects to the Supreme Emperor.

Extremely pedantic!

If young Li Longji was still a bit wise and mighty, he was already extremely mediocre when he seized his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan and killed Prince Ying and three other biological princes.

It was Li Longji's unprincipled favor and endless connivance towards Anlushan that gave birth to Anlushan's ambition to covet the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and fueled Anlushan's ability to compete in the Central Plains."

"So you completely surrendered to An Lushan and pledged allegiance to the traitors?" Bai Fu's eyes flashed coldly.

Li Fuguo looked at Bai Fu as if he were looking at an idiot. He laughed so hard that he almost lost his breath.

After regaining his breath, Li Fuguo smiled slyly and said: "

Speaking of serving for Anlu Mountain, from Li Longji's confidant eunuch Fu Zhulin, to Prime Minister Li Linfu, Minister of Household Affairs Pei Kuan, Minister of Rites Xi Jianhou and others, all the important officials in the court praised Anlu Mountain for their work for Anlu Mountain.

Lu Shan became a feudal official and made great contributions.

When it comes to taking refuge in An Lushan and working for him?

Mr. Bai, don’t you understand me? People like us who have breasts are our mothers will only seek refuge with those who have a greater chance of winning and be loyal to the winner!

An Lushan's troops are well-prepared, and he may be able to capture the city and sweep half of the country in a short time. But after all, he is the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, and he is a barbarian promoted from the grassroots by Li Longji. The following offenses are unjust.

Little help.

His generals had been favored by the Tang Dynasty for many years, and many of them were still loyal to Li Tang and did not want to follow An Lushan in rebellion. They just boarded the pirate ship and could not help themselves. Once the war went unfavorably, they would immediately defect.

The Qin Dynasty could be overthrown because "the world has suffered from Qin for a long time." The Tang Dynasty was prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. With Zhengshuo on the side of Li Tang, An Lushan would never succeed in his rebellion.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if An Lushan really overthrew the Tang Dynasty and became emperor, how could he make me rich and powerful?

The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. Since ancient times, spies have always had a bad end, let alone a double-faced spy like me who cheats on both sides.

I know too many secrets. Once my value is used up, An Lushan will immediately turn his back and have me executed in Lingchi.

Let me ask Master Bai, if you were betting on the Tang Prince and An Lushan, would you bet on An Lushan?"

The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.

Bai Fu suddenly looked at Li Fuguo with admiration. Every person who can reach a high position, even the most vicious ones, has some real ability. With this vision alone, Li Fuguo has far surpassed the prime ministers Chen Xilie and Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan who surrendered to the rebels.

Wait for the courtiers.

Li Fuguo poured himself another cup of tea, then changed the topic and returned to himself.

Li Fuguo said: "Master Bai, do you know how An Lushan died?"

Bai Fu raised his eyebrows and asked: "Everyone in the world knows that An Lushan was assassinated by the eunuchs Li Zhu'er, Yan Zhuang and his son An Qingxu in conspiracy. Is there anything else?"

Li Fuguo slowly sipped the tea into his mouth and said slowly: "Regarding An Lushan's death, Lord Bai should have read the secret report of the Tang army's spies, right?

An Lushan had suffered from eye disease since Fan Yang raised his army. The disease had no reason and came suddenly. An Lushan went to countless famous doctors but could not cure it. Just over a year after he raised his army, An Lushan became completely blind.

In addition, just from the beginning of the army, An Lushan developed malignant sores on his body, and the ulcers grew more and more, and the area of ​​ulcers became larger and larger, but the imperial doctors were still helpless.

These sudden illnesses caused An Lushan great pain, and he suddenly fell into endless despair and anger. From then on, his character became extremely irritable, and he whipped and beat people around him at every turn, including his most trusted minister Yan Zhuang and the eunuchs at home.

Li Zhuer.

As for other courtiers, maids and attendants, they were often beaten with bruises all over their bodies, and even had their heads chopped off if they disagreed...

This led to the betrayal and separation of relatives, who secretly joined forces to disembowel An Lushan in his sleeping tent in the middle of the night..."

Having said this, Li Fuguo drank the fragrant tea in one gulp and said with a smile: "Master Bai is also a man in the world, so he should be able to guess the poison that An Lushan was poisoned by, right?"

Bai Fu smiled calmly and said: "Could it be the 'Qianye Begonia' that has been extinct for many years?"

Li Fuguo put his hands on his hands and laughed, saying: "Bai Xiangguo is indeed a wonderful man, and he can tell the truth. If I, the 'hidden son', hadn't secretly cooperated with An Lushan's cunningness, how could he have been poisoned?"

The King of Qing, Li Cong, had long expected that An Lushan was harboring evil intentions and would be rebellious, so he resorted to this thunderous method. If Li Longji hadn't been stupid and let the tiger return to the mountain, allowing An Lushan to return to Fanyang, An Lushan would have died in Chang'an!"

Speaking of this, Li Fuguo said: "Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan was most afraid of Wang Zhongsi and Li Linfu.

When Li Linfu fought with An Lushan, he could almost treat him as a face. If he wanted him to be round, he would be round, if he wanted him to be flat, he would be flat.

After Wang and Li passed away respectively, An Lushan no longer had any scruples.

However, rebellion is also risky, and it will cost the lives of the whole family. If you can get glory and wealth by just talking, who will engage in the business of licking blood with a knife.

An Lushan had no intention of rebelling during Li Longji's lifetime. Li Longji treated him well, and it would be more beneficial to him to be alive.

Li Longji didn't know whether it was because he was crazy or because he was crazy, but he was extremely indulgent and generous to An Lushan. Except for the dragon chair, he almost gave An Lushan everything he could have as a human minister.

Every time An Lushan goes to Hajj, he can make a lot of money.

But Li Longji is old and may die at any time. Once the prince ascends the throne, will he still allow An Lushan to control the three towns?

At this time, An Lushan continued to use my intelligence to analyze the prince's attitude towards him.

Under the instruction of the prince, I found out whether the information I sent back to Fan Yang was true or not. My general conclusion is that the prince's position in the East Palace is in danger, and the future crown prince position will fall to the Rong Wang Li Wan and the Yong Wang Li Lin.

The purpose of the prince's delaying strategy is obvious: to trade time for space, and wait until An Lushan is poisoned and dies, thus resolving the catastrophic disaster.

If it weren’t for this idiot Yang Guozhong’s divine assist, many things would never have happened..."
