The Anshi Rebellion was a war waged by Tang generals An Lushan and Shi Siming from the last years of Xuanzong to the early years of Daizong (February 755 16 to February 763 17). It was a civil war for sovereignty with the Tang Dynasty, a turning point from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty, and also prompted the emergence of the separatist regime in the Tang Dynasty. Because the commanders who launched the anti-Tang Dynasty were mainly An Lushan and Shi Siming, the story was named An Shi. Because it broke out in Tianbao period of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty, it was also called Tianbao Rebellion.

An Shi Rebellion
In the 14th year of Tang Tianbao (AD 755, 16 February), on the ninth day of November, An Lushan, as our emissary to Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, mobilized 6,543,805 people from Tang Bing, Tongluo, Xi, Qidan and Shiwei, claiming to be 200,000 people, in order to "worry about the country" and serve secret orders. An Lushan rode on an iron horse, and his men rode on the elite smoke thousands of miles away, making a loud noise. At that time, people and generations had not seen the war for a long time. When they heard that john young was at war, they were shocked. Hebei was under the jurisdiction of the Anshi Rebellion, and all the counties where the rebels passed were in a state of collapse. The local county magistrate either opened the door to meet the enemy, abandoned the city and fled, or was captured and killed by the rebels, who quickly took control of Hebei. People in Taiyuan and the East Surrender City reported An Lushan's rebellion, but Tang Xuanzong still thought it was a lie fabricated by people who hated An Lushan, and didn't believe it.
Tang Ting fought back.
In the same year 1 1 month15th, Tang Xuanzong thought that An Lushan was really leading an army rebellion, and summoned Prime Minister Yang to discuss contingency plans. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Feng Changqing, our ambassador to Anxi, as our ambassador to john young and Pinglu to keep Luo, and later appointed his sixth son, Rong Wang Li Wan, as the marshal, and General Gao Xianzhi, the right Jinwu, as the deputy marshal. 1 1 month15th, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent a delegation to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to recruit soldiers for defense. Most of the border guards of the Tang Dynasty have not returned yet. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing recruited temporarily in Chang 'an and Luoyang, and they got street children who lacked combat experience and were untrained. Although An Lushan's army encountered obstacles, due to Yang's incompetence, An Lushan invaded Luoyang in the same year1February 12. Leo Lee in Tokyo and Lu Yi in Japan refused to surrender. After being captured, he was killed by An Lushan, and Yindaxi River in the south of Henan surrendered to An Lushan. Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, our Anxi officers who retreated to Tongguan, were on the defensive and stuck to Tongguan. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty beheaded Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi on the grounds of "breaking the law and failing to teach" because he listened to the false accusation of prison eunuchs. On the first day of the first month in the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan called Dayan Emperor in Luoyang and changed to Wu Sheng.
In December 755 (Tianbao 14th year), after the fall of Luoyang, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty listened to the slanderous remarks of Bian Lingcheng, the eunuch supervisor, killed General Feng Changqing and General Gao Xianzhi, appointed Ge as the deputy marshal of Bingma, and in Longyou, who was ill at home, ordered him to lead an army of 200,000 and guard Tongguan. Tongguan terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. After Geshuhan entered Tongguan, he immediately reinforced the Yugoslav capital, dug deep trenches and held fast behind closed doors. In the first month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan ordered his son An Qingxu to attack Tongguan and was repelled by Geshuhan. An Jun's main force was stuck in Tongguan for several months, and could not go west. An Lushan saw that the storm could not work, so he ordered Cui Ganyou to station old, weak, sick and disabled foot soldiers in Shanxian County (west of Sanmenxia City, Henan Province), and hid elite troops to try to lure Ge to battle. In May, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty received the information that Cui Ganyou, a rebel army, was "less than 4,000 soldiers, all weak and unprepared", so he sent envoys to send troops to recover Luo Shan. Ge immediately wrote to Xuanzong, arguing that war-torn An Lushan would not be unprepared for rebellion. He must have lured us with his weak soldiers. If he joins the army, he will only be cheated. In addition, the rebels' expedition was very fast. The loyalist resisted them with Tongguan natural barrier, and the advantage was persistence. Moreover, the rebels are cruel, heartless, unpopular and declining, and civil strife will soon occur. If they attack him again, they can get it without fighting. At the same time, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi fought against Shi Siming, the general of the rebel army, in Hebei Province, and won several great victories, and the progress was very smooth. Therefore, the two of them think that Tongguan can only stick to it and cannot be taken lightly. They advocated leading the northern army to seize john young from the north, and covering the rebels' nests, so as to make the rebels disband. However, Prime Minister Yang suspected that Geshuhan intended to make profits for himself, and told Tang Xuanzong that if Geshuhan stayed put, he would miss the opportunity. Tang Xuanzong was credulous and ignored Guo and Li Liangmou, so he sent a special envoy from China to urge Ge to take part in the war. Ge Shuhan was forced to cry.
Ge was forced to lead the troops out of the customs on the fourth day of June, and joined forces with Cui Ganyou in the West Garden of Lingbao on the seventh day of June. Lingbao is surrounded by mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north, with a 70-mile-long narrow mountain road in the middle. Cui Ganyou ambushed a good soldier in Nanshan ahead of time, and on the eighth day he led the troops to a decisive battle with Tang Jun. Tang Jun led Wang Sili and other 50,000 soldiers, followed by Pang Zhong, led 65,438+10,000 troops, and sent 30,000 people to drum in the highlands on the north bank of the Yellow River. When the two armies met, Tang Jun saw that the rebels were in chaos, and Yan Qi wanted to escape, so he rushed in and was lured into the pass. The rebels ambushed and threw rolling stones from the mountain. Tang Jun foot soldiers were crowded in the pass, and it was difficult to disperse, with many casualties. Geshuhan urged the felt car to attack in front, trying to open a road, but it was blocked by the grass car set on fire by the uprising army and could not move forward. Tang Jun was dazzled by smoke and flames and couldn't see the target clearly. Thinking that the rebels were in the thick smoke, he threw crossbows at random and didn't know the recruits until sunset. At this time, Cui Ganyou ordered Luo to detour from the south valley to fight behind the loyalist, and Tang Jun was beaten before and after, making a mess. Some abandoned their armor and fled into the valley, while others were squeezed into the Yellow River and drowned. The cry of despair is shocking and frightening. After seeing the defeat of the former army, the Tang Dynasty was defeated without fighting. Tang Jun, on the north bank of the Yellow River, saw that the situation was unfavorable, and it also broke up in succession. Geshuhan left in a hurry with only a few hundred riders and crossed the Yellow River to Tongguan. Three trenches were dug outside Tongguan with a width of 20 feet and a depth of 10 feet. People and horses fell into the ditch, and soon the ditch was filled up, and the people behind stepped on the body. Tang Jun had nearly 200,000 troops, and only 8,000 people fled back to Tongguan. On the ninth day, Cui Ganyou captured Tongguan. Ge retreated to the Kansai post, posted placards to attract the lost team, and wanted to continue guarding Tongguan. The Tibetan general Hoba surrounded the station with more than 100 cavalry, and went in and said to Ge Shuhan, "The thief soldiers are coming, please get on the horse." Ge Hanshu stepped out of the post office and got on the horse. As soon as the fire was pulled out, the nobles and the generals nodded and said, "Marshal has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them were abandoned after a battle. How dare he see the son of heaven again? And marshal didn't see Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing? Please marshal to surrender to An Lushan! " After Geshuhan refused, he tied his leg to the horse's belly and surrendered to An Lushan with other disobedient generals.
This war is a typical example of ambush in the history of China War. Tang Xuanzong misjudged the situation, refused to adopt the policy of preventing danger, permanently consumed the enemy, waited for an opportunity to attack, and went out of the customs to counterattack prematurely, resulting in the loss of both man and land, which led to a sharp decline in the counterinsurgency war. Cui Ganyou dived to lure Tang Jun into battle. In wartime, the flag was suppressed to escape, and Tang Jun was lured into the ambush zone, which won a great victory.
The fall of Chang' an city
When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, An Lushan directed the rebels to attack Luoyang and Tongguan, with the intention of breaking through these two important towns and taking Chang 'an directly! Later, Luoyang fell, but Tongguan was defended by Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, which made the Anshi Rebellion unable to be captured for a long time, and even drove the enemy to retreat.
However, in his later years, Li Longji has lost his wisdom, and he is no longer wise and decisive when he was young. Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing insisted on the correct operational methods, which failed the enemy's plan of making a quick decision from a long distance. Tongguan, as a barrier of Chang 'an, also effectively guarded Chang 'an. However, some evil villains spoke ill of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing in front of Li Longji and slandered them for colluding with the Anshi Rebellion, so they didn't fight the Anshi Rebellion head-on. Without careful investigation, Li Longji beheaded them, and the court lost two experienced and brave generals!
Later, Li Longji sent an elderly Gershohan to lead Tongguan's army to repel the enemy. At that time, there were 200 thousand troops guarding Tongguan! Geshuhan correctly judged the situation on both sides and thought it was the best way to resist the enemy. As the days passed, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lost patience with them, and the traitor Yang encouraged him to fight under the imperial edict. After receiving the imperial edict, Geshuhan knew that the battle would fail, but he was afraid of the majesty of imperial power and had to go to war. Finally defeated, he was tied to the enemy camp by his men.
Chang 'an, where Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lived, was in chaos when he learned that Tongguan had fallen. On the day of the Sino-Japanese War, there were only one or two officials in the court. The emperor sent a book to Qin Zheng Building, saying that he would collect it himself, but everyone didn't believe it. On this day, the imperial guard of the emperor moved to Daming Palace. In the evening, General Chen of Longwu reorganized the Sixth Army, rewarded more money, and picked out 900 horses from the stable, knowing nothing outside. An Shi's army is approaching. Before dawn, the emperor fled into Yanqiumen with his imperial concubine and sisters, the prince, the emperor's grandson, the princess, his concubines, Yang, Wei, Wei, Chen and his attendants. Later, when we arrived at Maweipo, the soldiers of the Sixth Army finally couldn't bear it. They launched a mutiny and killed Yang and others, and Gao Lishi and others killed Yang Guifei. Immediately, Prince Hengli ascended the throne in Lingwu, honoring Li Longji as the emperor's father (Li Longji was very helpless after learning all this, after all, he didn't want to abdicate).
After Zuo Zanghou, Yang wanted to destroy these treasures from thieves and soldiers. Tang Xuanzong said: "If the thieves and soldiers can't get the treasure, they will search for the people. It is better to leave it to the thief. " In June of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan occupied Chang 'an.
Ma Wei mutiny
Main item: Ma Wei mutiny
On the day of Bingshen, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty arrived at Maweipo (now 23 miles northwest of Xingping City, Shaanxi Province). The soldiers were hungry and tired, and the Sixth Army was very angry. Chen thought that Yang's rebellion led to the Anshi rebellion, so he asked Li to tell the prince his intention to kill Yang. At this time, the Tubo emissary was leading more than twenty people to surround Yang, complaining that there was no food. Some officers and men shouted: "Yang rebelled!" Yang rode a horse and fled to the west gate. He was killed and dismembered by everyone, and held a gun to his head at the gate of the post office. Assistant minister, Mrs Han, Mrs Qin and Wei were all killed. His wife Pei Rutong, his son Yang and Guo's wife and son Pei Hui were killed by the county magistrate Xue Jingxian in Chencang. Chen and Wei E asked Xuanzong to kill Yang Guifei. Gao Lishi persuaded Xuanzong to keep the morale stable and killed Yang Guifei. Xuanzong reluctantly ordered Gao Lishi to hang Yang Guifei in the Buddhist temple. Since then, Xuanzong entered Shu, and Prince Hengli, his sons Li Ling and Li Chu went north to Lingwu. Later historians believed that the "Ma Su Rebellion" was a "planned mutiny". Chang 'an fell, Jun Chu fled, and the Anshi Rebellion reached its peak.
Su Zong acceded to the throne.
On the 13th day of the seventh lunar month in 756 AD, under the impetus of the northern generals, Prince Hengli ascended the throne in Lingwu (now lingwu city, Ningxia). It is because of Tang Suzong that Xuanzong was regarded as the emperor's father from a distance, and he changed his supreme virtue. Guo Ziyi was named the Minister of War, the Minister of Books (Prime Minister), and still served as our northern envoy; Li Guangbi was appointed Minister of Finance and General Secretary of China Academy of Sciences, and both of them were ordered to crusade against the rebels. The following year, Guo Ziyi recommended Li Guangbi as my ambassador to Hedong, marched into Hebei with Li Guangbi, joined forces with Changshan (Zhengding, Hebei), defeated An Lushan and Shi Siming, and recovered Hebei.
Battle of Suiyang
In the second year of Tang Zhide (AD 757), from the first month to October, Zhang Xun, the deputy envoy of Tang and Henan, led the army and people to hold on to Suiyang (now south of Shangqiu, Henan), which was a famous urban battle to resist and contain the rebels in the Anshi Rebellion. History is called "the Battle of Suiyang".
In the second year of Zhide, in the first month of 757, An Qingxu took Yin as our envoy to Henan, and led 130,000 troops from Guangxi, Tan, Tongluo and Xibing to the south. Yin, a famous soldier under An Qingxu, swept across Henan with a great army. At this time, various towns in Henan fell one after another, but Suiyang, a military town, did not fall (Suiyang is in Shangqiu County today). Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang, turned to Zhang Xun for help. Because Ningling is a small city, it is difficult for Zhang Xun to resist the strong enemy, so Zhang Xun led 3,000 soldiers from Ningling (now southeast of Ningling, Henan) to Suiyang, and joined forces with more than 6,800 people in Xu Yuan. Yin struggled to attack the city, and Zhang Xun led his troops to fight hard day and night. Sometimes, the rebel attacks were repelled more than 20 times a day, and they fought 16 day and night, capturing more than 60 rebel generals alive and killing more than 20,000 foot soldiers, which doubled the morale of the defenders. Because of Xu Yuan's cleverness and courage, he guarded the city alone and handed over the operational command to Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun was responsible for distributing rations and repairing combat equipment and other logistical support. The battle plans are all based on Zhang Xun. The close cooperation between the two men made the rebels unable to attack for a long time, so they could only encircle and not attack.
Zhang Xun started in October 65438+757 and died in October 65438+757. Finally, I was exhausted by hunger and outnumbered. The city was overrun by rebels, and Zhang Xun and his department were killed. After ten months of hard work, we blocked half of Jianghuai for ten months and protected Jianghuai from fighting for ten months. Around the Battle of Suiyang, there were more than 400 battles. Zhang Xun defeated the thieves repeatedly, and none of them lost. Hundreds of thousands of thieves were killed, and the leader of the enemy was incompetent. It is obvious that Yin was shot blind by Zhang Xun, but out of a strong sense of justice and love for talents, he wanted to surrender to Zhang Xun. In the battle of Suiyang, Yin avenged the repeated battles and defeats, which caused hundreds of thousands of private soldiers around An Qingxu to be restrained by Zhang Xun. This enabled the Tang Dynasty to counterattack and Guo Ziyi to recover the two capitals calmly.
At that time, the court only supported by taxes in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins. Suiyang, located in the middle section of the Grand Canal, is an important town in the Jianghuai Valley. If it falls, the canal will be blocked and the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan were guarding Suiyang, with less than 7,000 troops at most. After more than 400 battles, the rebels1.20,000 people were annihilated. Suiyang persisted for 10 months, during which the court continued to accept financial aid from Jianghuai, completing the process of recovery, preparation and counterattack. One month ago, Xijing Chang 'an was recovered, and after Suiyang fell 10 day, Luoyang in Tokyo was recovered, and the rebels could no longer go south. The world was preserved in the Tang Dynasty, and the whole Suiyang War lasted 10 months.
An Lushan was killed.
An Lushan had an eye disease. Since the beginning of the fight, his eyesight has gradually declined, and he is blind and can't see anything. At the same time, he suffered from gangrene and became particularly irritable. He is a little dissatisfied with the left and right attendants, either beating or cursing. The slightest mistake will kill people. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he often lived in the deep palace, and the generals seldom met him to discuss. Everything was conveyed through Zhuang Yan. Although Zhuang Yan was respected by his relatives, he was sometimes whipped by An Lushan. Eunuch Li Zhuer often takes off An Lushan's clothes and waits on the left and right. He was beaten the most and resented the most. Duan, who was favored by An Shi Rebellion, gave birth to a son named Qing En, who was also favored by An Shi Rebellion. He often wants to replace Qing Xu with Qing En. An Qingxu was often worried about being abolished, and Zhuang Yan was afraid that the palace incident would be bad for him, so Zhuang Yan colluded with An Qingxu and Li Zhuer to murder An Lushan.
On the fifth day of the first month (65438+1October 29th) in the second year of Tang Suzong Dede (757), An Qingxu colluded with Zhuang Yan and Li Zhuer, and the three of them quietly entered An Lushan's residence. When the guards saw that it was Zhuang Yan and An Qingxu, no one dared to move. So ZhuangYan and AnQingXu stood outside the tent with a knife, and Li Zhuer entered the tent with a broadsword, aiming at An Lushan's abdomen lying in bed and slashing a knife. An Lushan often put his sabre on the bedside for self-defense, but Li Zhuer secretly took it away in advance. At this time, he got a knife, knowing that something was wrong, and he hurried to touch the knife but didn't touch it. He shook the tent pole angrily and shouted, "The thief will be punished by Zhuang Yan." In the shouting, several fights, blood and intestines flowed out of the abdomen, and soon died at the age of 55. An Qingxu immediately dug a pit several feet deep under the bed, wrapped An Lushan's body in felt, buried it in the pit overnight, and ordered the palace to keep it strictly confidential.
The next morning, Zhuang Yan announced to his men that An Lushan was dying and appointed An Qingxu as the Prince, and all military affairs were handled by the Prince. Then he inherited the throne, honored Lushan as the emperor's father, and then sent out obituaries.
After An Qingxu killed his father An Lushan, he became emperor on his own. Shi Siming was ordered to defend john young, leaving Cai Xide and others to continue to surround Taiyuan. In the same year, Chang 'an was recovered by Tang Jun, and An Qingxu fled from Luoyang to Yecheng (Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province). His ministry will lead tens of thousands of people from Li Gui and Hu Bing to Fanyang Shi Siming.
Battle of yecheng
From September of the first year of the Tang Dynasty (758) to March of the following year, nine marshals, including the deputy marshal of the world's military forces, our ambassador to Shuofang and our ambassador to Hedong, Li Guangbi, led Tang Jun to besiege the Anqingxu Department of Yecheng (Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province). When confronted with the Shi Siming Department, the No.9 military forces were scattered by strong winds and suffered a heavy defeat. Guo Ziyi retreated to Heyang Bridge, and Li Guangbi assembled his troops and returned to Taiyuan. The rest of the troops returned to their towns, and Shi Siming reoccupied Luoyang.
In October of the second year of Tang Zhide (757), after the war in Shaanxi County, An Qingxu led only 1.3 million people to flee from Luoyang to Yecheng (Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province). Tang Jun then recovered Luoyang City, sent troops to capture Hanoi (now Qinyang) and other places, and forcibly landed in Anjiang Zhuang Yan; After the soldiers and civilians killed Ann, (now Kaifeng) returned Yin to Tang; Tang Xuanzong led Zhang Gao to recapture Henan and Hedong counties. However, Su Zong was too busy welcoming the Emperor's father back to Beijing to send troops to pursue the remnants of An Jun in time. During the tenth day, Cai Xide joined forces with Shangdang (now Changzhi, Shanxi), Tian from Yingchuan (now Xuchang, Henan) and Wu Lingxun from Nanyang (now Dengzhou). Plus the recruits recruited by An Qingxu in Hebei counties, there are about 60,000 people. An Qingxu avoided the prosperity of Shi Siming and sent an envoy to Fanyang (now southwest of Beijing) in December. Shi Siming's prisoner, An Qingxu's special envoy, with his 13 county and 80,000 soldiers, was awarded our time in john young. Rebellion after six months. Although there are many contradictions between the two armies, they still pose a threat to Tang Jun.
In September of the first year of Gan Yuan, Dong Qin was ordered by Cui Guangyuan to lead more than 200,000 troops north to attack An Qingxu. He also ordered Li Guangbi and Wang Sili to lead the troops to assist, taking eunuch Yu Chaoen as the guide to appease and supervise the actions of various armies. In October, Guo, Lu, Ji and Cui successively crossed the Yellow River to the north, and Li attacked Wei Zhou (now Weihui, Henan Province), and was ambushed by crossbowmen, who defeated An Qingxu and led 70,000 reinforcements to Kewei Zhou, which made the rebels to Anqing and; Xuan took advantage of the situation to pursue, and was defeated in the southwest of Yecheng, killing more than 30 thousand people. An Qingxu returned to Yecheng, surrounded by Tang Jun, and sent someone to Shi Siming for help to make way.
Shi Siming led130,000 troops to save Yecheng from Fanyang South, and rode 100 to Fuyang (now Cixian County, Hebei Province) in advance to show unity. In December, after Shi Siming defeated Cui Guangyuan and captured Weizhou (now Daming North), he waited and saw. In the first month of the second year, Li Guangbi suggested to divide the army and conquer Shi Jun, but Yu Chaoen refused. In February, Yecheng of Tang Dynasty (Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province) failed in April. Shi Siming came to Tang Jun and cut off the grain transportation. On the sixth day of March, Tang Jun, known as 600,000, was deployed to the north of Anyang River. Shi Siming personally led fifty thousand chosen men, and fought fiercely with Li (Guangbi), Wang, Xu and Lu of Tang Jun, with heavy casualties on both sides. Guo Ziyi arrived with an army, but it didn't reach the array. Suddenly the wind blew, and it was dark. Both armies retreated in fear. Tang quit Shenqiao and surrendered to Heyang Bridge. The rest of our troops retreated to their town. Shi Siming's collection department was stationed in the south of Yecheng, trapping and killing An Qingxu, Cui Ganyou and others. Then he went into the city to divide his troops, leaving Shi Chaoyi to guard Yecheng and return to john young.
In this war, Tang Suzong ordered an attack one year after he fled to Yecheng in An Qingxu. He sent hundreds of thousands of troops without a marshal, so there was no unified festival. The siege lasted for a long time, the supply of grain and grass failed, and the morale of the army was unstable, which eventually led to a great rout.
Shi Siming rebelled again.
Because most of the elite soldiers composed of Qidan and Tongluo belonged to Shi Siming, An Qingxu was dissatisfied with Shi Siming's collection of his scattered remains after he killed his father and proclaimed himself emperor. Looking for a chance to get rid of Shi Siming.
After the siege of Taiyuan was repelled by Li Guangbi, Shi Siming returned to john young to be stationed. An Qingxu made him the King of Guichuan and served as john young. It turned out to be Ann's lair. Most of the treasures plundered by An Lushan from Tokyo and Xijing were transported here for storage. This is already a mountain. Gradually, Shi Siming became arrogant because of his wealth. He wants to keep john young for himself, but he doesn't want to be bound by An Qingxu.
Shi Siming submitted a surrender letter to Tang, willing to surrender to Tang with 13 county and 80,000 soldiers. Tang Suzong got great joy. He was appointed king to return to justice and served as our ambassador to john young. However, Shi Siming's "being obedient to the outside and stealing from the inside", constantly recruiting, has aroused Tang Suzong's vigilance. The Tang Dynasty planned to destroy him, but the plan leaked out. Shi Siming rebelled and stood on the side of An Qingxu at a distance.
In the first year of Gan Yuan (758), An Qingxu was besieged by more than 200,000 soldiers, including Deputy Marshal Guo Ziyi, and later increased to 600,000. However, due to Su Zong's weakness and suspicion, there was no commander-in-chief in each army, which made it impossible to delay the war for a long time. The following spring, with the help of Shi Siming, the insurgents defeated nine armies of our army in Tang Jun, and their encirclement was solved. Eunuch Yu Chaoen was destroyed, Ziyi was recalled to Chang 'an, relieved of military power, and became a idle minister. Soon An Qingxu was killed by Shi Siming, and Shi Siming took over An Qingxu's troops and returned to Fanyang, known as the "Great Yan Emperor".
Chaos is over.
In the second year of Shang Dynasty (76 1), in March, the rebels clashed, and Shi Siming was killed by his son Shi Chaoyi, who was internally centrifugal and repeatedly defeated by Tang Jun. In October of the first year of Baoying (762), Tang Daizong succeeded to the throne, and General Pu Guhuai of the Tang Dynasty was appointed as the deputy marshal of Shuofang and Hebei, and the troops marched northward.
Volume two hundred and twenty-two Ji Tang thirty-eight
In the battle of crossing the water, Tang Jun attacked tens of thousands of rebels from the front and Tang Jun cavalry and Uighur troops from the side. The rebels were defeated. Shi Chaoyi sent 65438+100000 soldiers to reinforce and deploy in Zhaojue Temple. Tang Jun attacked the rebels and killed many rebels, but the rebel army did not move. In the Tang Dynasty, Ma Yi, the envoy of our town west, struck out with a heavy fist and broke into the rebel crowd. The rebels were powerless to resist. Tang Jun took advantage of the situation and the rebels were defeated. He moved to Pomegranate Garden and laojunmiao. Tang Jun defeated the rebels again, beheading sixty thousand people and taking twenty thousand prisoners. Shi Chaoyi led hundreds of Qingqi to flee to the east. Tang Jun captured Tokyo and Heyang City. Bu Guhuai led the northern army to pursue Shi Chaoyi, and won many battles.
In the spring of the second year of Baoying (763), Tian surrendered and gave Shi Chaoyi's mother and wife to Tang Jun. Shi Chaoyi led five thousand riders to Fanyang, and Li Huaixian, a subordinate of Shi Chaoyi, offered Fanyang to surrender. Shi Chaoyi hanged himself in the forest, and the rest of the rebels surrendered, ending the Anshi rebellion that lasted for seven years and two months.
Tang ordered Tian Wei (now southern Hebei and northern Henan), Li Huaixian (now northern Hebei), Li Chengde (now central Hebei) and Xue Song to be ambassadors. From then on, the Tang Dynasty entered the situation of independent regions.
