Knowing that An Lushan was afraid of death, Luo Ying's conditions for meeting were very simple, he brought five hundred soldiers and horses, An Lushan was casual, and the two met and talked before the two armies. For such a request, An Lushan was relieved. Under the pretext of being wary of the other party's tricks, he directly selected five hundred elites in the best mental state to accompany him under the command of the generals. When they met before the battle, he even brought all the generals with him with their heads and faces, not for anything else, but in case the other party played tricks, there would be more people to save the scene.

Although it was a very exciting thing to meet in the past, neither Hou Xiyi nor Luo Ying planned to meet here and now. When they really met, at this moment, they were on the left side of An Lushan, and Hou Xiyi, who was half a step behind, looked at Luo Ying, who had not seen each other for nearly 20 years, and saw that the little monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes in the past had become a rough man with a beard, and suddenly there was a feeling that time had flown by.

And Luo Ying used to be Hou Xiyi's deputy general, looking at the facial features and expressions of his former boss who were much deeper than back then, he nodded slightly without a trace. Both of them all know that a qiē is in a word, at least they are alive, and this is already the best result!

An Lushan didn't know these joints, after the initial greetings and temptations, he felt with his invincible intuition over the years that this master of the capital broadcast was not as bold and scheming as he seemed on the surface, but was not easy to deal with people who were quite familiar with Datang. Therefore, he abandoned the trick and abduction that he used to use for Xi and Khitan, and took out another face, that is, he not only agreed to Luo Ying's request to occupy the Khitan tooth tent, but also gave him an eager idea, that is, relying on this merit, he reported to the Son of Heaven, and a canonization was easily and skillfully obtained.

"Tong Jin sent troops to help this time, and I will never forget it. There is such a strong army, and it is so benevolent and righteous, of course it should be crowned a khan! ”

Since the complete collapse of the Turks, the Tang Dynasty has been as if they don't want money, and they have canonized the leader of the vassal state as the Khan, and no one will be angry about it, or use it as an excuse to start a war. Therefore, Luo Ying was not surprised by An Lushan's mention, he smiled slightly, as if he did not refuse the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, but asked with great interest: "An Dashuai looks up to me so much, of course I am willing to be loyal to the Tang Heavenly Khan." It's just that An Dashuai doesn't need me to do something for you? ”

An Lushan suddenly laughed. After dealing with each other back and forth, he already knew that the other party did not have the intention of assassinating him, so he gestured to the rest of the generals. An Lushan is like this, Luo Ying naturally handles it in turn, and suddenly, the idle people on both sides gradually retreat, and it becomes a pattern of two people talking alone.

At this time, An Lushan lowered his voice and said, "I want to know, what does His Majesty love the most today?" Military merit, of course! If the Khitan is really gone, and you enter the main tooth tent, you and I will have to meet each other in the future, and if the Khitan is still there, I can make war merits, and you can also continue to send troops to help, but if there is merit, I can play Your Majesty xià to reward you, I don't know what to do? ”

This is really the guy who knows how to drill camp!

Luo Ying, who was dealing with An Lushan for the first time, couldn't help but secretly marvel. But immediately after, he said calmly: "But the Khitan tooth tent is the closest to me, and it is a place where I can easily knock it down, and I am not willing to let it out." ”

"I'm not letting Tong Jin give in, as long as the Khitans are not dead, where can't they be used as a tooth tent? As for the Khitan kings, they have been abolished and established over the years, and there are still fewer tosses? Since they tossed, it was you and me. Every time I send troops to fight, my Tang Tian Khan will definitely be happy. An Lushan saw Luo Ying's expression of satisfaction immediately, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "If you want, I can also invite the Heavenly Khan for you, crown you king, and then marry the princess to you, in this way, you are a righteous Tang Dynasty horse!" ”

"My wife is as fierce as a tiger, and An Dashuai will be exempted from this discussion." Luo Ying hurriedly refused, don't look at Yue Wuniang's sympathy for those princesses who have to marry Hefan, but if he really wants to toss one for him, then he won't want to live a peaceful life. Seeing that An Lushan seemed to have some regrets, he quickly returned to the original topic, and after bargaining with An Lushan for a while, he reluctantly agreed to the other party's offer. However, as for An Lushan's tentative proposal to open a mutual market in Yingzhou, he was not interested at all.

Everyone knows that An Lushan has never been faithful, and the Xi and Khitan people were deceived by him using various excuses to kill them when they reported their military achievements, and he was not interested in giving the other party such credit.

If you want to exchange markets, Yunzhou is much more reliable than An Lushan's territory!

Regarding Luo Ying's reluctance to marry the Tang princess, An Lushan didn't care, but said that. What the so-called princess of the Tang Dynasty is, of course he knows it well. However, the reason why he is willing to give such a benefit today is largely because of the combat effectiveness of these centaurs. Over the years, he has persistently used troops against the Xi people and the Khitan, not entirely for military exploits, but to expand his strength! How are male soldiers trained? It is constantly trained in war, and it is constantly made up from captives! Since ancient Yan Zhao has many warriors, his command has gathered a lot of warriors he picked, and he doesn't feel it when he fights with the wind on weekdays, but now he feels that it is still not enough.

Therefore, then he was clever and tried his best to promise all kinds of benefits, and sure enough, Luo Ying, who was originally cold, gradually relented, and even promised to cooperate with him to fight and divide the Xi and Khitan captives equally. When a series of verbal agreements were reached in the end, the two high-fived on the spot, and said some beautiful words, and then they returned to their respective teams. When An Lushan led the army to slowly retreat westward, he still couldn't help but pay attention to these soldiers and horses frequently, and couldn't help but have all kinds of ideas in his heart.

How can you bring such a strong army under your command? Ask for a canonization for the other party, and then frame Dusow rebellion, and fight again...... No, they are not as good as the Khitan and Xi people who are full of dragons and dragons on the hills, and today's combat effectiveness is by no means easy to deal with. So, why not have a sandpiper and mussel compete for the fisherman's profit? By the way, I remember that although Tongluo and Fugu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the lord of Tongluo, Absi, and the new master of Fugu, Gu Huaien, are all the deputy capitals of Anbei, but the former has a lot of small actions behind his back, if he can let Du Bo destroy Tongluo, he will be able to repay Absi for contempt and insult to him back then!

I want to think like this, but now An Lushan knows better that there are countless things that need to be dealt with in this battle. Fortunately, Luo Ying gave him another gift very generously, that is, the head of Li Huaixiu, the Khitan king! You must know that he had just won a big victory against Xi Ren under the pretext of before, and attributed the death of Li Yanzhong, the king of Xi, to himself, and now if he sends Li Huaixiu's head to Chang'an, these two great achievements are enough to make his reputation climb to the top, and enough for him to pocket Hedong Jiedu. As for the dead and wounded soldiers this time, they will not be visible under such feats, and the soldiers and horses that are scattered horizontally and vertically can be slowly retracted.

When the troops were dispatched, the morale was high, and when the squad was divided, it was said that it was a great victory, but when tens of thousands of military horses drove back to Pinglu, they were listless. And when Li Tingjian, who was ordered to sit in the Pinglu Jiedu Embassy, personally went out of the city to greet him, he ignored the shocking world, and insisted on asking An Lushan to retreat the others, and then reported in the lowest voice: "Dashuai, Liu Luogu ordered someone to send an urgent report for 600 miles, and Li Xiangguo may not be able to delay it for a few days!" ”

Although Li Linfu vomited blood and fell ill was quite secretive, before sending troops, An Lushan still relied on Liu Luogu's drill camp to learn this information. With this big victory, he is confident enough that even if Li Linfu dies or falls, he will be able to stand tall, but after all, Li Linfu has never suppressed him, and he has helped a lot over the years, but Yang Zhao is not a good bird! As a result, An Lushan was in a bad mood for a while, coupled with the loss of troops this time, he did not summon the generals after entering the Pinglu Jiedu Embassy, which made people feel worried.

And Hou Xiyi and Li Mingjun successively learned the news of Li Linfu's death, and they can understand An Lushan's bad mood. It's just that one of the two has Goryeo ancestry, and the other is named Khitan, who is actually a Xi person, and they really don't know much about those deceitful things outside Chang'an City, which is thousands of miles away. Only Li Mingjun had some contacts with the minister of power in the current dynasty, who had never gone down since he ascended to the throne in the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, and he couldn't help but feel emotional at this time. At the end, he suddenly whispered again: "But this time the Khitan and Xi tribes are obviously going to be in chaos for a while, should we take the opportunity to ......?"

Hou Xiyi saw Li Mingjun make a gesture of stretching out his hand and dragging, and knew that he was referring to taking the opportunity to pull people and expand his strength. Over the years, the two of them had a convenient background and held military power, and successively recruited displaced people from Silla, Xi, Khitan, and Bohai as private soldiers, both soft and hard, and gave grace and power to those deserted places, or to train soldiers in battle, and the number of private soldiers was already on par with the number of soldiers and horses under their command. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Of course, there are ready-made cheap, why don't you pick them up?" But be careful, although Li Huaixiu is dead, Yelu Nili is still alive! ”

Although An Lushan was annoyed that Li Linfu, who had been in the Yellow Spring for many years, was about to enter the Yellow Spring, he would never delay his success because of this. Not only that, but he also weighed the person in charge of reporting the victory for a long time. In order to prevent someone from colluding with Yang Zhao and ruining his own results, he deliberately selected Li Mingjun, who was a Khitan general and was personally named by the Son of Heaven, to lead the way to Chang'an to present Li Huaixiu's first victory.

Along the way, Li Mingjun traveled non-stop, day and night, and when he arrived at Tongguan, he got the news that Li Linfu was still there. But when he crossed Xin'an and Baqiao, and finally came to Chang'an City, he heard a message when he entered the city gate.

Right Prime Minister Li Linfu died!

At that moment, Li Mingjun thought that he was taken to Chang'an by Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, and made a general who had nothing to do, and then got Du Shiyi's instructions and took Li Linfu's path before being transferred to Hebei Province. If it weren't for Li Linfu's relationship, An Lushan would not have developed a natural affinity for himself, and he would not have been so smooth sailing over the years.

Although it was only he who was ordered, Li Linfu was the longest-reigning prime minister since Kaiyuan after all!

Unconsciously, he gently took off the helmet on his head and sighed softly.

This is the end of an era of power ministers.
