Chapter forty-one
Gao Tinghui was born at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. His family was poor in his early years and went up to Shaolin Mountain to be a monk for ten years.
Gao Tinghui was not very interested in Amitabha Buddha, but the stick skills in the mountains were his favorite, and he practiced martial arts for some reason. Later, he couldn't help but feel lonely in the mountains. When Pei Min attacked monks and nuns all over the world, he went down the mountain to return to secular life.
With his martial arts skills, Gao Tinghui joined the army and joined the army in his hometown Hongnong.
However, the Central Plains has been peaceful for a long time, and Gao Tinghui did not have the opportunity to make military achievements. He only relied on his ten years of experience and his martial arts to suit the crowd and became a captain. It was not until An Lushan went south and Wang Shin and Du Siong organized troops to resist that Gao Tinghui went to the battlefield for the first time.
For people like Gao Tinghui, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are mostly spoken of.
People like him regard their own food and clothing as the most important thing, and they don’t care about who is the emperor and who rule the world. As long as they have one bite of food, it’s enough to spend money.
This is something very realistic.
After all, there are thousands of people in the world, and not everyone has the same loyalty and moral character as Meng Tian, Zhuge Liang, Wei Zheng, and Di Renjie.
Gao Tinghui is the kind of person who first satisfyes himself and then considers the world, which is particularly realistic.
Therefore, when he followed Wang Shi and Du Siong, Gao Tinghui fought desperately. However, after Wang Shi and Du Siong were defeated, Gao Tinghui rationally chose to surrender and became a general in the Great Yan Kingdom.
Gao Tinghui was a general who was captured and surrendered. Unlike Linghu Chao who led his troops to surrender, he was highly valued.
What's more, An Lushan's command is not short of powerful generals. He rose to the land of Yanzhao, and most of his hands were Khitan and Xi warriors, so Gao Tinghui was not allowed to use them.
Now the Tang army has recovered its disadvantages, and the Tang Dynasty's Qingtian Jade Pillar has also come to Chang'an, and An Lushan is obviously in a passive state.
Faced with this situation, marginal people like Gao Tinghui who are not very honest have already had the idea of finding another way out, but they have always been worried about whether the stains on their bodies can be accepted by the court.
When Gao Tinghui learned that Li Qinsuo was valued by Li Guangbi, he sent his messenger to contact him without hesitation.
Gao Tinghui dared not say how powerful he is, but he is much better than Li Qinsu. Even an incompetent person like Li Qinsu can receive such treatment. How could he be worse?
Gao Tinghui's initial plan was to keep An Lushan in the Lu City, so that An Lushan would be his own belonging. What a credit is this to capture the thief's head and offer it.
However, An Lushan actually chose to go back to the camp to rest, so Gao Tinghui could only choose the second best choice for the night attack.
Gao Tinghui also took the initiative to bet on this battle of future status and future. The golden cudgel in his hand was hovering and flying, feeling like he was in a state of no one in the unpreventable An Lushan military camp.
The soldiers under his command were like crazy bulls, and they sprinted forward with spears and guns.
The gray tent was immediately dyed purple, and the people inside didn't even scream. The Yan army, who had hurriedly emerged from the tent in groups of three or three, fell to the ground due to scattering and scattering blood.
Yang Wuqin's situation was different from Gao Tinghui. Yang Wuqin was the governor of Shanzhou. He was a descendant of a famous family and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. However, the rebels came to the city and threatened that if they did not open the city and surrender, they would slaughter the whole city on the day of breaking the city.
Yang Wuqin was considering the people of the whole city and had to surrender and was always finding opportunities for return.
On the day of resting in the camp, Yang Wuqin suddenly heard Gao Tinghui rebellion, and made up his mind and gathered his troops to raise the banner.
Yang Wuqin rushed among the rebels with an iron spear and shouted: "Those who block me will die! Fight against the rebel An Lushan! Only An Lushan is taken, and the remaining party will not ask!"
He shouted, wherever the soldiers went, warm and viscous red liquid splashed everywhere, reflecting the dim flames.
In the horror of the rebels, they had no idea who was the enemy or who was the friend.
After the bloody battle in Nanyang, the rebels were already nervous. Suddenly, they encountered this situation and directly bombed the camp.
In order to save their lives, the soldiers of the Yan army began to chop and kill each other.
Gao Tinghui and Yang Wuqin were not important officials of the Great Yan State, and the total number of soldiers and horses in their hands was only 5,000, and head-on confrontation was just a matter of encounter.
The real damage they caused was not as good as the Yan army's killing each other.
However, Gao Tinghui and Yang Wuqin were in short supply, but An Lushan had capable people.
Especially Cai Xide, Wu Lingxun, Neng Yuanhao and others were all good at fighting. They reacted and gradually launched a counterattack.
Gao Tinghui and Yang Wuqin have increased their pressure.
But just as the generals of An Lushan were fully committed to quelling the rebellion, Li Guangbi led his troops to kill him.
They rushed to An Lushan's camp like a torrent.
Li Guangbi has always used strange strategies first in his use of troops. In order to hide from An Lushan's eyes and ears, he had only tens of thousands of real soldiers. But he still decisively divided up 4,000 people. They did not enter the enemy camp head-on, but instead scattered near An Lushan camp, shaking flags and shouting, creating the illusion of tens of thousands of troops approaching the border.
He personally led the two powerful generals, Han Yougui and Li Fei Yuanli, to rush straight to An Lushan's central army tent, echoing Gao Tinghui and Yang Wuqin.
This completely fooled the Yan army. They had never expected that Li Guangbi would appear in this place at this time.
According to their exact news, Li Guangbi's army of 30,000 should be in Hongnong.
How could they know that Li Guangbi used his troops in a strange way. From the beginning, he never thought about defending Hongnong to the death. When he was attacking Hongnong, he had already made plans to take the initiative.
He arranged for his confidant to go out for You Yi, and the number of You Yi's army was about 3,000. These three thousand soldiers went out for 3,000 during the day and returned at night with the help of the night.
As he went back and forth, Li Guangbi had avoided An Lushan's suspicion and hid 10,000 soldiers outside Hongnong City.
Only these ten thousand soldiers now became sharp swords inserted into An Lushan’s chest.
Li Guangbi took the lead, waved his horse spear in his hand, swung his left and right, and rushed directly to An Lushan's central army.
The soldiers behind him followed his commander closely through the puddles with blood foam, and rushed toward thirty feet in one breath. He heard the screams of crying and crying at his father and mother, and could not tell how many people were crying and falling down for a while.
After going ten feet deeper, the enemy blocking gradually increased, and the enemy formation ahead began to become dense and sticky, with a great increase in pressure, and the progress of the breakthrough column became much heavier and slower.
Li Guangbi discovered that there were enemies who had surpassed him and the number of rebels was large.
Li Guangbi sniffed his face and shouted, "Just break forward, no matter the enemy behind him!"
It was still dangerous to use five thousand soldiers to rush straight to An Lushan's command camp.
But he bet again, betting on An Lushan's courage.
An Lushan, as a bandit, is indeed extraordinary courage, but now An Lushan is the emperor and the high-ranking Emperor of Dayan.
