An qingxu (? -759), leader of the Anshi Rebellion, leader of the Tang Dynasty rebel army.

One of the culprits of An Shi Rebellion. Although An Qingxu was introverted, he was a first-class archer on horseback, so he became a general under his father.

In December of the 14th year of Tianbao (755), An Shi Rebellion broke out. It took An Lushan a month to make a call from Fanyang, Hebei Province to Luoyang, the eastern capital. On the first day of the first month in the first year of Zhide (756), Dayan regime was established, with Luoyang as its capital and An Qingxu as the king of Jin. In the second year of Zhide (757), on the fifth day of the first month, An Qingxu, Zhuang Yan and eunuch Li Zhuer killed An Lushan and made themselves emperor.

Shi Siming accepted an Qing-xu's troops and returned, calling them "Da Yan Emperor", mourning for the emperor, and then being reduced to "Jin King".

The life of the character

Patricide and self-reliance

An Qingxu is the second son of An Lushan. Kangmu is An Lushan's original wife. An Qing Xu is good at riding and shooting, and won the favor of An Lushan. Less than twenty years old, he won the title of Qing Han, and concurrently served as the magistrate of Yang Guang. His original name was Renzhi, and Xuanzong gave his name to Qing Xu. He was assigned to An Lushan and was a famous military commander.

In the second year of Zhide (757), after he murdered An Lushan with Zhuang Yan and others, Zhuang Yan and nobles made him the monarch of puppet regime. An Qingxu has always been weak and his words are upside down. Zhuang Yan was worried that people would refuse to accept him and let him see outsiders. He was appointed as an imperial envoy of the Anpuppet government, named Feng Yi as the county king, and monopolized the military and political power. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he tried to promote the positions of those generals.

Lien Chan was defeated.

In the second year of Zhide (757), Tang Suzong visited Fengxiang County in the south, only to find that An Lushan was dead. He gave Pugu Wynn to Uighur, married Uighur, and sent troops to crusade against the rebels. In the same month, Guo Ziyi conquered Hedong County, and the rebel general Cui Ganyou quietly fled to the south. In August, Uighur three thousand cavalry arrived. In September, Li Yu, the king of Guangping, led the Han and Fan allied forces to recapture Xijing Chang 'an, An Shouzhong fled, and the bodies of the rebels piled up like mountains. [2] In October, the rebel general Yin captured Suiyang County and killed Zhang Xun, Yao Menyan and others. When Tang Jun went to Shanxian County, the rebels were afraid. They ordered the Zhuang Yan police station to have brave and skillful elite troops to resist. Li Yu sent Guo Ziyi, deputy marshal, to Quwo in western Shaanxi to fight the rebels. Defeated the rebels in Xindian, pursued 20 Li, annihilated more than 100,000 Yan troops, and the corpse was three Li.

Fight back to the death

Zhuang Yan ran to Luoyang, Tokyo, and told An Qingxu that An Qingxu had fled to Hebei, with less than three thousand infantry and three or four hundred cavalry. When he arrived in Xinxiang, he heard that General Zhuang Yan had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the generals' thoughts were shaken. Chengqing tribal insurgents, Li, An Shouzhong, Li Guiren, etc. Scattered in Hengjun and Zhaojun. There are only two or three people in john young, such as Zhang Tongru and Cui Ganyou, who often visit my officials. In Weizhou, no one has come to visit. By the time Shang Yin arrived, most of his followers had fled, and even those who had not fled were stationed far away from Anqingxu. An Qingxu knew that people's hearts had changed, and he was afraid to ask. When we arrived in Xiangzhou, almost all the followers fled, leaving only one thousand tired foot soldiers and three hundred cavalry. In Fuyang County, when Li Guangbi was stationed in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty with 10,000 foot soldiers and 300 army horses in Fuyang City, An Qingxu was in a place where he would die, so he said to his brothers, "It is better to die happily than to die." So, they and Anqing led hundreds of children, designed a plan to break Tang Jun, and Li Guangbi was defeated. Camp Wang Sili in Lu Ze, our time, is four or five miles away. Hearing that Li Guangbi was defeated, the army immediately dispersed.

An Qingxu sent eight armies to issue a battle report, saying that the two armies of Li Guangbi and Wang Sili were defeated, and tens of thousands of people surrendered and beheaded. The camp is like a spectacle. God helps and provides convenience, and there is nothing lacking. Besides, the Uighur soldiers have been withdrawn, and it is not difficult to make contributions. In the past, the skirmishers were limited to gathering in Xiangzhou before the 26th of this month, and then going to capture Luoyang on the 8th of next month. Rebels from all walks of life heard that they had defeated the loyalist in Hedong, and their rebellious hearts were stable again. They accepted the lure of An Qingxu and all arrived in Xiangzhou in October. An Qingxu changed its name to Xiangzhou Anchengfu, granted amnesty at home and changed its name to Tianhe. Xue Songxun was ordered to train more than 30,000 new and old troops and more than 6,000 cavalry. Within ten days, the rebel Cai Xide led the troops from Gaoping, Tian from Yingchuan and Wu Lingxun, with 60,000 troops along the way.

However, the good times did not last long. Soon, Qingzhou and Jizhou, which defended the puppet government, led the military forces to surrender to the Li Tang government. In the first year of Gan Yuan (758), Wang Chang, the secretariat of Texas, and Yu Wenkuan, the secretariat of Zhou Bei, both surrendered to the Li Tang court, and the troops of towns in Hebei guarded the city for several months. The puppet Manchu court ordered Cai Xide and An Taiqing to storm, but they were captured by the rebels, and the soldiers guarding the city were taken away and chopped into blood clots to eat. When the puppet government discovered that many officers and men were secretly negotiating to surrender to the Li Tang government, it changed all the generals and soldiers at all levels and let them kill each other, and the idea of surrender was shattered. An Qingxu ignores political affairs, just builds pavilions and ships and feasts all night. Noble ministers are different. Cai Xide's troops are the most elite and straightforward in nature. Zhang Tongru hanged him after slandering him, and the soldiers of the three armed forces were resentful and deeply wronged because Cai Xide was not reused. Cui Ganyou was appointed as the special envoy of the military forces in various countries in the world, acting as the commander-in-chief of the troops inside and outside the puppet government. Cui Ganyou is stubborn and eccentric by nature, and his foot soldiers don't listen to him.

Battle of yecheng

In September of the first year of Gan Yuan (758), Tang Suzong sent Guo Ziyi and other nine armies to attack Xiangzhou occupied by An Qingxu, and appointed Yu Chaoen as the military ambassador. At first, Guo Ziyi's strategy was to send 3,000 archers to ambush behind the barricade. The next day, he commanded the troops to pretend to escape, the rebels chased them, the archers shot together, and the whole rebels were defeated. An Qingxu sent Xue Song to Shi Siming for help, saying that he would give him the throne of Yan State. Shi Siming sent Li Guiren to lead ten thousand infantry and three thousand cavalry to Fuyang as soon as possible. By the time Li Guiren arrived in Fuyang, the encirclement of Guo Ziyi was already very solid. Three walls were built and three ditches were dug. The majestic momentum of the tower was unprecedented since ancient times. When water was released to fill the foot of the city, the groundwater in Xiangzhou City soared and the wells were flooded. An Qingxu asked An Taiqing to replace Cui Ganyou as the ambassador of the army. Shi Siming attacked yu zhou to the south of Xiangzhou, and Cui Guangyuan fled south. A few days after Shi Siming occupied Weizhou, it was the first day of the first month in the second year of Gan Yuan (759). Shi Siming claimed to be the Prince of Yan, and established the year number.

Strangle for the department

From October in the first year of Gan Yuan (758) to February in the second year of Gan Yuan (759), An Qingxu was besieged. People in Xiangzhou city eat each other. The price of a barrel of rice is more than 70 thousand yuan, and a mouse is worth thousands of dollars. People washed chaff and horse manure under the collapsed wall and ate them like horses. Shi Siming led the troops to rescue Xiangzhou. On March 6th this year, Guo Ziyi and other besieged troops were defeated, left Xiangzhou and retreated to the south. They destroyed the Heyang Bridge to protect the water in the valley. Shi Siming led the troops to camp in the south of Ye County. An Qingxu sent someone to collect the remaining six or seven mangoku grain in the barracks of Guo Ziyi and others, and consulted with Sun Xiaozhe and Cui Ganyou to hold the Xiangzhou gate tightly and put forward to turn back and resist Shi Siming. The generals said, "How can this situation be treacherous to Prince Shi Siming?" Zhang Tongru and Gao Guiping said to An Qingxu, "Wang Shi has come a long way. We should all meet him and apologize." An Qingxu replied, "You all go to see him together." When Shi Siming saw Zhang Tongru and others coming, they wept together, gave them generous gifts and advised them to go back to Xiangzhou. After three days, An Qingxu still didn't go to Shi Siming.

Shi Siming secretly summoned Antaiqing to lure An Qingxu out. AnQingXu had to take three hundred cavalry to see Shi Siming. Shi Siming led him into the barracks and ordered all the soldiers to wait for him in armor and helmets. It was not until the younger brothers were taken to court that An Qingxu bowed his head and said, "I can't afford the heavy responsibility. Chang 'an lost Luoyang and was besieged for a long time. I didn't expect the prince to come all the way with his troops for the sake of his father. " Shi Siming said, "Losing Chang 'an and Luoyang and losing the war are nothing. As a son, you killed your father to seize the throne, isn't it a big violation and unfilial? I will punish you for your father, you traitor. " Subsequently, An Qingxu and his four younger brothers, Shang Gao, Sun Xiaozhe and Cui Ganyou, were dragged out and hanged.
