Shi Siming did respect An Lushan very much before. If An Lushan had not been able to make achievements with them from the beginning of his life, he would not have achieved what he has today.

Moreover, An Lushan's rebellion can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. In addition to himself, another person who can take charge of the overall situation is Shi Siming. When An Lushan really conquered a large territory of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Siming must be a territorial figure.

But the heavens are not as good as the man. An Lushan died suddenly in Luoyang, and the news sent back was vague about the cause of death.

At the beginning, Shi Siming had no doubts, thinking that his elder brother was dead, so let's assist his elder brother's son. Now the capital of the Tang Dynasty has been taken down, and it is firmly in their hands.

In addition, An Lushan is indeed too fat, and he has suffered from many diseases because of his weight, so it is reasonable to die.

However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Shi Siming's idea lasted for a few days, and various versions of how An Lushan died was spread to Fan Yang.

Many people say that Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu killed An Lushan. Although this statement is incredible, it is said to be a bit evident. After a series of investigations, Shi Siming couldn't help but believe it.

Although his relationship with An Lushan was very strong, An Qingxu even dared to kill his father. What would happen to him, the uncle, end up in his heart? Shi Siming also began to wonder.

At this moment, An Qingxu, who was originally eating, drinking and having fun in Luoyang City, was conquered by the Tang army one after another, and there were not many generals and soldiers under his command. This incident reached Fanyang, and Fanyang's generals had a lot of complaints about the two failures of An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang.

After all, it was as easy as killing soldiers of the Tang Dynasty as cutting melons and vegetables, and they were almost invincible wherever they passed. Now, even the cavalry of the Uighurs could defeat two cities without the help of the Tang Dynasty. This fully demonstrates that Fan Yang's elite soldiers have become vulnerable in An Qingxu's hands. Of course, such a great Yan emperor would not have been able to destroy the Tang Dynasty with Fan Yang's people.

There were also some ambitious people around Shi Siming, among which was his son Shi Chaoyi. When they saw An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang were like a stray dog, the wind blew up next to Shi Siming's ears.

If you say that among these people, Shi Chaoyi is the most eager to do this, he is naturally Shi Siming. After all, Shi Siming is already in his fifties. Even if he succeeds, he will not be able to enjoy a few years of life. Isn’t the rest of his foundation all his?

Under the instigation of his son and generals, Shi Siming was indeed a little moved by establishing his own business. So when An Qingxu was defeated in Xiangzhou and sent Li Guiren back to ask for help, Shi Siming did not choose to send troops to Xiangzhou, but directly left Li Guiren in Fanyang.

Of course, Li Guiren was a hero who didn't suffer any loss at the moment. He had already understood An Qingxu's situation at that time, but he understood his own situation even more. He could only express his thoughts to Shi Siming, and then stayed at Fan Yang with peace of mind.

Originally, Shi Siming thought that An Qingxu would hide in Xiangzhou for a while, so that he could make up his mind, but he did not expect that the Tang Dynasty's troops arrived directly at Xiangzhou and defeated An Qingxu.

Shi Siming has been paying attention to the situation in Xiangzhou. He never expected that after the battle with him in Taiyuan Prefecture, Li Guangbi, who should not have many troops, would join forces with Li Qing, who was also not strong, to attack Taiyuan Prefecture.

Shi Siming did not know much about the battle between Suiyang and the two capitals, so in his mind, the leaders of these battles should be Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and Li Yi was just a supporting role in this.

When he heard that Zhang Tongru was captured, the rebels lost more than 20,000 troops at once. Shi Siming knew at that time that it would be a matter of time before An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang could not hold on.

This is a problem that Shi Siming was very troubled. After all, he was just an An Lushan general before. An Lushan was the emperor of Dayan and he supported it. Now the emperor of Dayan is An Lushan's own son. This matter is not a problem on the surface, so he has no reason to object to this matter.

When it was confirmed that An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang had already run back with the remaining 20,000 troops, Shi Chaoyi was also giving his final persuasion to his father.

"Father, since you have detained Li Guiren in Fanyang before and have not sent troops to rescue them, you should think about it. Once An Qingxu returns to Fanyang and successfully settles on my position as Emperor Dayan, what will happen to you and me?"

Shi Siming did do something about An Qingxu not saving him while he was swaying. He understood that his son was right.

"Oh, my reputation in this life will be ruined by you in the end. At the beginning, I persuaded me that I would never save you. Isn't it that you are the one! What kind of abacus are you in your mind? Isn't it that I don't know?"

Of course, Shi Chaoyi's little thoughts could not escape his father. After Shi Siming said this, Shi Chaoyi knew that his eating habits should not be too ugly. He didn't say much at the time and left directly.

That night, Shi Siming had almost never sleeped all night. Of course, he also wanted the power of Dayan now. Even if he could not reorganize his troops and swallow all the Tang Dynasty again, he could at least become a local emperor in Hebei Road.

It is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is Shi Siming's condition at this time. Since it is not easy to get off, of course he can only ride it. After all, compared to being caught by An Qingxu, anyone would have chosen to crack An Qingxu.

So, when An Qingxu returned to Fanyang City, his ending was basically destined.

"Prime Minister, we have finally returned home. It seems that we can reach the city tonight!"

Yan Zhuang said to An Qingxu with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, we will set up camp five miles away from Fanyang tonight. Please send a letter to Shi Siming and ask him to come to greet him in person, and do not bring troops."

"What if Shi Siming doesn't come?"

After a few things before, An Qingxu also vaguely realized that Shi Siming had a lot of ignorance about him. Although he wanted to return to Fanyang quickly, he did not refuse Yan Zhuang's proposal.

"Then Your Majesty is afraid that you won't be able to arrive in Fanyang. Even if you go back, the one who greets us will be dead!"
