Chapter 1230: Jade and Stone Burning

The matter of killing An Shouzhong, Shi Chaoyi, who had originally planned to kill An Shouzhong, was finally safely passed by Shi Chaoyi himself and tried his best to make a move.

An Shouzhong also knew that his little military force could not be sprinkled in Youzhou today, so after Shi Chaoyi's persuasion, he quickly convinced Shi Siming and even went to Cai Xide to be a lobbyist. Although these two people had a deep grudge because of Changshan's battle, they at least knew the truth that there was no end to the nest. In addition, Shi Siming was powerful, if they did not form a line, they would be dead, and too arrogance would be dead. Therefore, when they agreed that if the Tang army attacked the city, they would be at the forefront, Shi Siming was finally unwilling to have internal conflicts under the pressure of the army, so they decided not to do anything for themselves.

Although Shi Siming, who started his career in Pinglu, had previously followed An Lushan to rise up south, he still had considerable strength in Pinglu. In the past, he rushed north to counterattack Hebei. Although he was anxious that Youzhou might have made mistakes, he handed over the main force to Cai Xide. He only brought his elite confidants to take a small way back, but he had already transferred his private troops back from Pinglu and placed them in Yuyang County, Jizhou, and grabbed the remaining Jingsai army.

Now, when he learned that the three Tang troops in the south had begun to attack Youzhou, but there was no news about the messenger in Chang'an, he resolutely decided to give up Boling, Shanggu and Wen'an counties and narrow the defense circle to Fanyang County of Youzhou, Miyun County of Tanzhou and Yuyang County of Jizhou. Even so, the situation is still quite bad now. The Yancheng Guard and Hongshui Guard in Yuyang County have fallen into the hands of Hou Xiyi's Pinglu Army. After the Beikou Guard was lost, the Zhenyuan Army was also captured by Zhang Xing's troops. In addition, Juyongguan, which had fallen into the hands of Anbei Army before returning to Youzhou, he now has to make the worst plans.

"The person who came, passed the commander's order, summoned Shi Chaoyi"

As the eldest son of Shi Siming, the governor of Fan Yang, Shi Chaoyi, of course, would not have known about the news of his retreat. He was soaked in a hurry, and it was obvious that he had encountered the heavy rain that had come and go quickly. However, he, who described his embarrassment, did not dare to be rude in front of his father. He knelt down and kowtowed respectfully before asking: "What are the instructions of the father and commander?"

"You go to see Du Shiyi for me."

Seeing Shi Chaoyi's eyes wide open, his eyes were wide open, and his horror could not be concealed. Shi Siming was displeased and immediately asked with a stern voice: "Why, do you don't have such courage?"

Shi Chaoyi saw that Shi Siming had already pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and his heart suddenly stumbled. Although he was a son, he knew that if he hesitated at this moment, Shi Siming's knife would probably be cut off on his head. He could only barely suppress the panic in his heart and said calmly: "The command of the father and the commander, even if it is to go up the sword and go down the sea of ​​fire, I will definitely work hard to do it."

Shi Siming didn't believe such bold words. He sneered in his heart, but he put away his anger and ordered lightly: "Since you have such courage, after seeing Du Shiyi, tell him that I, Shi Siming, have submitted a surrender to the court to His Majesty. If he is unwilling to accept it, don't think that he has many generals under his command. Now I have only three counties left. I'm so anxious that the soldiers will force all the people of the three counties to go up to the city wall to defend. When he saw that he took Youzhou, how many living people could Fan Yang Miyun Yuyang be left?"

He had already handed over a surrender to the court. Even though Shi Chaoyi had heard of it for the first time, he had just developed some confidence in this trip, and when he heard the last few words, his face turned pale. If someone said this, he would have thought it was just a scare. But the person who spoke was his father Shi Siming. He would definitely do it at that time, but he was really dead. Although he was dead, many soldiers with blood from the people of the three counties on their hands. Could it be that good ending?

But Shi Siming had already said such harsh words. He did not dare to disobey at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth and agree: "Yes, I will prepare as the commander of my father."

"What else is there to prepare? I'll give you ten fangs and set off immediately."

Shi Chaoyi complained in his heart, but he knew that delaying time would only make people suspicious, so he could only agree. When he left the house, the ten tooth soldiers who were obviously Shi Siming's confidant were already waiting there. He could only sigh in his heart, hoping that he would be more lucky in this trip.

It seemed as if God had heard Shi Chaoyi's prayer. When he left Fanyang County, Youzhou and entered Shanggu County, Yizhou, he collided with a ranger who was standing in front. Thanks to his white flag early, he did not encounter a fight immediately. However, he, Shi Siming's messenger, the chief general of more than a hundred rangers sneered at him and sent two people from his command to lead them back.

In the words of this envoy You Yi: "As soon as the army arrives, if the Youzhou rebels do not surrender, they will become a fragile person. If they surrender, they should have the sincerity to surrender."

But Shi Chaoyi was not at ease with such contempt. Along the way, he bumped into several groups of troops. He learned that Du Shiyi had not yet entered Shanggu County. He was sweeping the rebels here by Cheng Qianli, the governor of Hedong, while Du Shiyi was still in Qingyuan County, Wen'an County, Mozhou, and Guo Ziyi, the governor of Shuofang, was sweeping away the remaining rebels in Wen'an County. As for the other Tang army, which was the subordinate of Pugu Huai'en, Du Shiyi's true direct lineage was missing. Although he cared about this very much, nothing is more important than his life. Of course, he would not ask casually.

The Qingyuan County Party Committee, Du Shiyi, who temporarily requisitioned the Marshal's Headquarters, was looking at a letter from Longquan. Sure enough, although the governments of Hebei provinces and counties in the south were particularly enthusiastic about the group of King Li of Nanyang who came from afar and tried every means to keep and treat them, the carefully selected rebels slowed down their itinerary. Even so, these envoys from Chang'an have passed Ye County. If it weren't for the pampered emperor like Li, who could not have reached such a high intensity as 200 miles a day, I was afraid that they would be able to reach Qingyuan in two or three days. But even if we go to the slowest, it would be amazing to be able to delay six to eight days on the road.

"To conquer Youzhou in eight days? If you can't, are you going to prepare for another tough battle?"

Du Shiyi murmured to himself, and a trace of determination just appeared on his face, and a voice came from outside: "Marson, Shi Chaoyi, the eldest son of Shi Siming, was the envoy, and asked to see the Marshal."

Shi Chaoyi?

Nowadays history has already completely deviated from the established trajectory, so when Du Shiyi heard this, he was surprised at first, and then couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he said, "Don't worry, send someone to the front, inform General Guo and General Hun, and tell them that Shi Siming sent Shi Chaoyi to see me as a messenger and let them come back quickly."

After entering Qingyuan County, Shi Chaoyi thought he could see Du Shiyi as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, he and the ten orthodon soldiers who were accompanying him were separated. He was left alone in a room, no one took tea and no one paid attention to it, just as if he was an insignificant person. The more he was like this, the more anxious he felt, because he knew very well that Du Shiyi was now in a dilemma. Du Shiyi was so cold to him, which naturally meant that he didn't care whether Youzhou wanted to surrender.

This torment lasted from the afternoon until late at night. He had never eaten lunch and dinner before, and he was naturally hungry. In this seemingly endless waiting, he finally abandoned his last little patience, strode to the empty door, and opened the door. To his surprise, there was a person standing outside the door, and the hand that pushed the door was not retracted. The four eyes looked at each other for a while, and the person who came put down his hand and said a cold and hard tone.

"The Marshal has an order and brings Shi Chaoyi to see him"

Shi Chaoyi finally saw the big battle and immediately calmed down. Although he was exhausted and hungry, he still cheered up and tried his best to act calmly. However, when he followed the visitor to an evenly neat lobby, he saw that the two fangs in front of the door, although they had different battle robes, the same one was the fierce spirit, which was definitely not inferior to those of his father's confidants, so he was still a little more cautious.

That was Du Shiyi, who made the arrogant An Lushan die, made many powerful generals bow down, and made countless generals fall to the ground. Now the second person in the Tang Dynasty.

After crossing the threshold and entering the lobby, Shi Chaoyi saw the middle-aged man sitting in the middle at first sight. The other party was not wearing an official uniform, but a silk robe. Instead, he was more conspicuous than the two veterans who were wearing armor on both sides of the left and right, with a bigger and more imposing momentum. Although he had never seen Du Shiyi, he still slowed down and then stood at a safe distance of more than ten steps, and bowed without being humble or arrogant.

"Bold, you are so arrogant to the marshal as a traitor."

Hun Shuzhi wanted to give the other party a warning, and slapped him down, and he actually slapped his penis. Although the furniture nowadays often uses cork, Shi Chaoyi still felt tighter when he saw his hand strength. But he shouldered his father's strict orders and knew that even if he bowed his knees at this moment, he might not be able to survive, so he straightened his waist.

"Now that the two armies are fighting, our Youzhou still has the power to fight. The marshal has led troops for many years. We should know that if our army fights against the enemy, the outcome may not be known. Why should we humiliate me, the front pawn?"

Seeing Shi Chaoyi's words and deeds calmly and appropriately, Guo Ziyi was a little surprised when compared to the situation of An Qingxu and An Qingzong at that time, Shi Siming had such a good son, and immediately smiled and said, "If you are Shi Siming's eldest son or a front pawn, then everyone in Youzhou will be a front pawn."

"The father and the commander are not divided into legitimate and illegitimate children, and there are eleven people in total. I am just taking the title of the eldest son." Shi Chaoyi knew that he had to do his best to describe himself as insignificant. Seeing the two veterans showing ridicule, Du Shiyi, who was in the main position, said loudly, "I am here to be the order of the father and to pay homage to Marshal Du. The commander rebelled with An Lushan, but was forced to helplessly, and now he has surrendered to Chang'an. If the marshal force too much, then Youzhou can only summon all the people and burn them all."
