Chapter 999: Poet Saint Du Fu
Early the next morning, An Qingxu received an urgent report from Luoyang.
Fan Yang fell, Luoyang was in a hurry, An Qingxu hurriedly greeted Dichen without thinking, and immediately led his troops to withdraw to Luoyang. Di Chen had no choice but to evacuate.
Staying in Chang'an any longer, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out.
Watching the rebels retreat in a hurry, the commander of the Chang'an garrison let out a long sigh of relief. Some soldiers could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. This battle was really exciting.
For Chang'an, the most dangerous moment has passed.
After repelling the rebels, Ouyang Shuo's prestige in Chang'an reached a peak, the civil and military officials' resentment towards Ouyang Shuo's arbitrarily abolishing the establishment was also slightly eased, and the people in the city were even more grateful to Ouyang Shuo.
The attitude of those high-ranking officials and nobles who were sent away from the guards and private soldiers also changed. They forgot their previous reluctance, and busy asking for credit to His Majesty the Emperor, detailing how their soldiers would bravely kill the enemy and guard Chang'an.
Teachers from all walks of life were also busy entering the palace to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
In comparison, Ouyang Shuo, a hero, was somewhat neglected. Presumably, whether it was Li Longji or Li Xiang, they would feel a little uncomfortable with Ouyang Shuo, a stranger.
The imperial court has spread rumors that they hope that the alien troops will leave the city to station.
Fortunately, as soon as the crisis in Chang'an was lifted, the Supreme Emperor Li Longji, who had been terrified for more than ten days, suddenly became restless and stayed in Tai Chi Palace.
Being the Supreme Emperor is not as easy as being an emperor.
Historically, when Li Longji returned to Chang'an from Shu, he had a long period of open and secret struggles with Li Longji, let alone the current situation.
As a generation of emperors with excellent martial arts and martial arts, Li Longji has a deep foundation in the court, and there are a lot of veterans who are willing to follow him. Naturally, he wants to control the court situation remotely, instead of being an insignificant overlord.
The ancient emperor's attachment to power is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and he would not let go of power unless he died.
Just like Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, once said righteously: "If you are blessed, you will be in power for sixty years, and you will pass on the throne to your heirs. I dare not be the same as the emperor's ancestors for sixty-one years."
That is to say, even if he lived a long life, he would not dare to break the record of his grandfather Emperor Kangxi's 61-year reign.
For this reason, Qianlong also spent huge sums of money early on to build a palace for the emperor after his abdication, the Ningshou Palace, in a corner of the palace.
At the age of eighty-five, Qianlong had been in power for sixty years, and indeed he abdicated the throne to the later Emperor Jiaqing, but he did not move to the Ningshou Palace at all. It is still heard, Bing Xun adjudicates, decrees on major events, and the power is in hand.
Poor Jiaqing served as a "false emperor" for three years, and it was not until Qianlong's death that he was able to take charge of the government. Until the temporary period, Emperor Qianlong did not live in Ningshou Palace for a day, which can be described as extremely ironic.
Qianlong still voluntarily took the Zen position under a beautiful guise, but Li Longji's Zen position was not voluntary, so he had even more reason to interfere in the government.
In this way, as soon as the rebels left, the Chang'an court began to have an undercurrent.
The struggle between old and new imperialists quietly kicked off.
Ouyang Shuo didn't care about these bad things, while the two emperors were fighting, he leisurely rushed to a neighborhood in the west of Chang'an City to visit a literati.
This person is none other than the famous poet Du Fu.
Du Fu's life has a deep intersection with the Anshi Rebellion. Many popular poems came from this period, including the famous "Three Officials and Three Farewells", which vividly reflected the war scene at that time.
For example, one of them is "The Official in the Stone Trench".
In Mutou Shihao Village, officials arrested people at night.
The old man walked over the wall, and the old woman went out to watch.
How angry are the officials! Why bother a woman crying.
Listening to the speech made by the wife, the three men were garrisoned in Yecheng.
One man attached a book, and the second man died in battle.
Those who survive live in stealth, and those who die live forever!
There is no one in the room, only the grandchildren of the breast,
There is a grandma who has not gone, and there is no end to the skirt.
Although the old woman's strength is weak, please return from the official night,
In response to the Heyang campaign, we still have to prepare the morning cooking.
For a long time at night, there was no sound, as if weeping and swallowing.
The day is on the way to the future, and I will say goodbye to the old man alone.
In the battle map, although the participation of aliens has changed the direction of the war, the victims are still the common people. Outside Chang'an City, tens of thousands of common people's corpses are the most vivid portrayal.
When Ouyang Shuo visited Du Fu, he naturally wanted to ask Du Fu to go back to Daxia with him.
Du Fu was born in a noble family in the north. When he was a teenager, he had no worries about food and clothing, and lived in anger with fresh clothes. When he was middle-aged, his family was in decline, and he failed the imperial examinations many times, and his career was not smooth.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, that is, the first year of the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fuyin was forty-four years old, and it was more than ten years since he arrived in Chang'an. In November, Du Fu went to Fengxian to visit his home. As soon as he entered the house, he heard crying. It turned out that his youngest son had starved to death, which shows the embarrassment of life at that time.
In the imperial court, civil and military officials had their own minds, and their perceptions of Ouyang Shuo were rather complicated. But among the people, Ouyang Shuo is really a first-class hero.
Moreover, Ouyang Shuo, with the honor of the King of Xia and the title of Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, came forward to solicit in person, so there is no reason for Du Fu not to agree. Few ancient literati could really sneer at the rich and powerful.

[Comment]: Poets work with one character, and the world knows it, but Lao Du's changes are endless, surprising, and it is almost impossible to catch them. He is the most poetic.
Having successfully recruited Du Fu, Ouyang Shuo was in a good mood and ignored the affairs of the court. He waited for the end of the battle and returned to Daxia immediately after receiving the spoils.
As for sending troops to pursue the rebels, Ouyang Shuo did nothing at all.
One Chang'an garrison suffered heavy casualties and needed to be repaired. Although the rebels also suffered casualties, they still have a main force of more than 300,000. It would be unwise to pursue them at this moment.
As for the so-called masters of the king, it’s okay to let them stand aside and wave their flags and shouts. If they really want to go after the rebels, their eyes will flash immediately, and they will talk about him.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo completely lost his will to pursue immediately. He just ordered Jiannan Jiedu envoy to rectify King Qin's division, ready to send troops to Luoyang at any time, and cooperate with Guo Ziyi's department to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.
With the cooperation of the two armies, there is no need to worry about Luoyang being immortal.
The development of the war was far beyond Ouyang Shuo's expectation, and it went smoothly.
…………
An Qingxu failed to reach Luoyang in the end. When the army reached Tongguan, the front suddenly reported that Luoyang had changed. It turned out that after learning that the army suffered setbacks in Chang'an and Fan Yang fell, the Luoyang defenders simply did nothing and slaughtered An Lushan, and then announced their desire to submit to the court.
The plot reversed so quickly that An Qingxu was caught off guard.
Di Chen and the others breathed a sigh of relief, the battle ended early, and they didn't have to suffer. It is really not cost-effective to start a fierce battle in Luoyang, but I don't know how many troops will be involved.
As An Lushan was killed, the battle announcement followed.
"Battle Announcement: The Battle of Anshi is officially over, and the Anlushan camp failed to reverse the historical ending."
...
"Battle Announcement: The Anshi Rebellion is officially over. Now, based on the player's contribution to the battle and the comprehensive index of his contribution to the faction, the additional contribution value bonus will be counted."
...
Ouyang Shuo immediately heard a system notification sound.
"System prompt: The player Qiyue Wuyi, a representative of a different person from the Tang Dynasty camp, has acted arbitrarily and abolished the establishment. Although the defense of the city has merit, but the merit and demerit are offset, an additional reward of 20,000 battle contribution points."
"..."
Ouyang Shuo's head is full of black lines, and there is such an operation? !
According to the standard of the previous battle, Ouyang Shuo turned around the unfavorable situation of the Tang Dynasty camp, and at least gained an additional 100,000 battle contribution points, but now it is good, only a pitiful 20,000 points.
Gaia is using this to warn Ouyang Shuo, don't think that you can do whatever you want on the battle map.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to check the battle contribution list.
【Ranking】—【Name】—【Battle Contribution Value】
[No. 1]: Qiyue Wuyi—400,000 points
[No. 2]: Phoenix Prisoner—300,000 points
[No. 3]: Dichen—250,000 points
[No. 4]: Wolf Warriors—150,000 points
[No. 5]: Xiongba—140,000 points
[6th place]: Chunshen Jun—120,000 points
[No. 7]: Wandering Magic—100,000 points
[No. 8]: Shapojun - 20000 points
As a representative of the An Lushan camp, Dichen failed to win against Phoenix Prisoner this time, probably because he was punished by Gaia for driving away the people as cannon fodder, and did not receive any extra rewards.
The Shapo Army was the worst of the eight. The 50,000 troops he brought were used as a reserve force, and they were sent to the battlefield at the last moment. They fought with 20,000 tiger and leopard riders, but failed to get the ideal contribution value reward.
With such a small contribution value, I am afraid that even the resurrection troops are not enough.
…………
At the end of the battle, Ouyang Shuo was preparing to go to the palace to receive the reward for the first place. He never expected to meet a group of eunuchs who came out of the palace to announce the decree, but it was Li Xiang who brought the reward directly.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo smiled wryly, how much did that emperor dislike him. After receiving the reward, it turned out to be a piece of jade pendant. Ouyang Shuo did not check the attributes, and immediately teleported away.
As soon as he returned to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo heard bursts of system announcements.
"System Announcement: The Anshi Rebellion is officially over. The main historical figures of the Tang Dynasty will automatically join the game progress. Players are invited to explore by themselves."
...
As an extremely prosperous and flourishing dynasty in history, there were not a few historical celebrities in the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the famous 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, poets, calligraphers, painters and other literati emerged in endlessly.
For the lords of China, this is really good news.
"System Announcement: The Anshi Rebellion is officially over, Qingcheng faction and other martial arts sects will automatically join the game progress, players are requested to explore by themselves."
...
With the historical deduction to the Tang Dynasty, the rivers and lakes became more and more lively.
