The grumpy An Lushan was like an overfed porcupine when he was angry. His chubby body was full of violence and ferocity. When he was furious, he disowned all his relatives. Everyone he saw was an enemy, and he would kill even his own son.

.

People who have excellent acting skills but cannot control their emotions and anger may achieve success in life, but they will not reach the top.

People who stand at the top need to have a wise mind, a lofty vision, grand ideals and a city that is indifferent to emotions and anger. These qualities are far from enough in Anlu Mountain.

When the generals regard the coach as a tiger or a wolf and feel fear in their hearts, and fear turns into hatred, the day when the coach will be destroyed is not far away.

This is how Shi Siming's mentality changed when he stood in front of An Lushan.

The generals under An Lushan's command, including the bodyguard Li Zhu'er and the top general Shi Siming, were all whipped by An Lushan. The more times they were whipped, the more people hated him.

Seeing that An Lushan was getting angry again, Shi Siming shrank his neck and said softly: "Commander Jie, we can't count on reinforcements from the north, but our righteous army can still compete with the imperial court, especially since we have occupied Guanzhong, and whoever wins the Central Plains will win."

World, these days we have recruited many people from Guanzhong into the army. After a little training, we will be able to fight..."

An Lushan's furious mood gradually calmed down, and he said coldly: "Gu Qing's Anxi army will not be destroyed. I can't sleep and eat well. The people are young and strong, and most of them are a mob. How can I expect them to attack the city and seize territory for me?"

Shi Siming said: "The military has imposed strict military laws. How dare the people disobey them? Commander-in-Chief, now our rebel army has occupied the north of the Yellow River and Guanzhong, and is half of the country with Li Tang. If we work harder, the rebel army can take over Li Tang."

Instead, from now on, the dynasty will change. Commander Jie, you will be the founding emperor and the overlord of a generation of talents. As long as you occupy the south, Li Tang will be destroyed."

An Lushan's breathing suddenly quickened.

The titles of "Founding Emperor" and "Eminent Overlord" are really exciting and inspiring. Over the years, I have been acting in front of Li Longji, secretly building up my troops and raising troops in rebellion, just to change the dynasty and realize my dream of being emperor.

?

Although the current war situation is not optimistic, Prince Li Heng and Guo Ziyi of the Eastern Palace are in Shuofangjie Mansion in the north, and Gu Qing's Anxi Army is stationed in the south and is eyeing Guanzhong. Both the north and the south are enemies. The strategic situation is a bit dangerous, but... the word "emperor" is really tempting.

ah.

Seeing the change in An Lushan's expression, Shi Siming hurriedly said: "Commander Jie, the reason why the young people in Guanzhong are difficult to unite the hearts of the people is that our name is not justified. We have occupied Guanzhong and Chang'an, but we are just an army."

, but it is not an orthodox court, so people’s hearts naturally cannot belong to it..."

"Therefore, the last general, on behalf of the officers and men of the three armies, expressed his feelings to the commander-in-chief, asking the commander-in-chief to make a living for the people of the world, and to gain the support of the generals and the people. The last general advised the commander-in-chief to follow the general trend of the world, sit in the north and face the south, ascend to the great treasure, and rule the world.

.”

After saying this, Shi Siming knelt down with a plop and prostrated himself on the ground.

An Lushan was immediately elated. Although he still felt that something was wrong in his heart, he was only one step away from the position of emperor. His biggest dream in life was about to be realized. All that was left was the final scene.

"Haha, you can't do it!" An Lushan laughed and said: "We, Xingyi Shi, defeated the traitors and sycophants in order to be on the side of the Qing emperor. An is still loyal to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can he claim to be emperor without permission? No, no! This is impossible.

Never mention it again."

Shi Siming was a thoughtful man. Generals on the battlefield may not necessarily be brilliant, but he could understand the subtext of officialdom at a glance.

An Lushan's words were clearly evasive, but there was a key word in them, and that was "without authorization". The meaning of not proclaiming himself emperor without authorization was that there were too few people to persuade people to join, and the voices were not loud enough to show "following the general trend of the world".

Magnificent sight, although Anjieshuai said that fatness is directly proportional to the thickness of his face, he is still a bit shy.

As An Lushan's top general, Shi Siming immediately understood An Lushan's meaning, so he smiled knowingly and said: "Yes, I was a little rash today. I will think about it carefully when I go back and then discuss it with Commander-in-Chief in detail."

An Lushan laughed loudly, and he understood what Shi Siming said.

The two people's eyes met, and they silently decided on an important matter.

…………

An Qingxu was lying on the bed, his upper body naked, and the whip marks on his back were shocking. A doctor beside the bed was applying medicine to the wound on his back, and every time he touched An Qingxu, he let out a shrill scream.

Feng Yu sat next to An Qingxu, with a look of regret in his eyes, and softly comforted his mood.

"Your Highness, please bear with the pain. An Jieshuai has a bad temper and will inevitably be unable to hold back. If the battle ahead goes more smoothly, Commander An Jie's temper will probably get better, and Your Highness will not have to suffer this physical pain."

Feng Yuyue said that the resentment in An Qingxu's heart became even stronger.

"The old man deceived people too much. The poison of a tiger is not enough to eat its own children, but he did this to his own children. How vicious!" An Qingxu trembled all over and gritted his teeth.

Feng Yu sighed: "For future wealth and glory, your highness should bear with you a little longer. The righteous masters occupy half of Li Tang's country. In the future, there will be a change of dynasty. If your highness wants to become the prince safely, you will have to endure what ordinary people cannot bear.

Otherwise, how can we inherit this great country?"

An Qingxu was stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind. The thought was fleeting, and when he thought about it again, he couldn't remember what the thought was just now.

There were footsteps outside the door. Shi Siming strode into the house, took off his helmet and threw it to the guards. He sat next to An Qingxu and asked with concern: "How do you feel, Your Highness? Does it still hurt?"

An Qingxu looked resentful and snorted coldly.

Shi Siming looked at the shocking whip marks on his back and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The rebel army has suffered a heavy setback. Recently, Gu Qing's Anxi army destroyed our 100,000 reinforcements in a battle by the Yingshui River. It is inevitable that the commander-in-chief cannot control his temper.

, His Highness has suffered."

An Qingxu said angrily: "What does it have to do with me if the war ahead is not going well? Why should I suffer this physical pain?"

Shi Siming sighed: "Who calls you his biological son? Jieshuai is so angry that he will naturally vent his anger on you."

An Qingxu became even more angry: "Does my son deserve this whipping? This is not the first time that whenever he feels unhappy, he takes it out on me. What did I do wrong?"

Shi Siming shook his head and said: "Your Highness must be careful, your father is no longer what he used to be, and his status in the future will be even more noble. To be honest with Your Highness, I just persuaded him to enter in front of Commander-in-Chief..."

Feng Yu's eyes flashed quickly when he heard this, and he regained his composure in an instant.

An Qingxu was stunned: "Persuade Jin..."

Shi Siming said solemnly: "Yes, persuade Jin. The Commander-in-Chief already accounts for half of the country. Guanzhong and the country are all in his hands. The general situation has been determined. We can ascend the throne with great treasure and face the south and proclaim the emperor."

An Qingxu blinked hard, not knowing whether to be happy or jealous.

Shi Siming added: "If Commander-in-Chief ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, His Highness will be a veritable prince of the East Palace. Now this little physical pain is nothing. In the future, His Highness will be the crown prince who inherits the throne. You should show off in front of Commander-in-Chief to gain his favor."

Huanxin, the position in the East Palace is stable, and the grievances I have suffered these days are not in vain."

An Qingxu was still immersed in complicated emotions. Shi Siming saw that the doctor was busy applying medicine to An Qingxu, so he comforted him with a few gentle words, and then stood up to leave.

Feng Yu also followed Shi Siming out of the house.

After the two came out of the house, Feng Yu and Shi Siming walked side by side and suddenly asked: "Is Commander Ji really going to ascend the throne?"

Shi Siming now regarded Feng Yu as a true friend, so he smiled and said: "Yes, and the time is not far away. I, Guan Jie Shuai, also have the intention of becoming emperor, but it is not convenient for me to say it, so I just persuaded him to join, but

The Commander-in-Chief has not yet agreed. It seems that there are fewer people trying to persuade us to come in. I will contact all the generals and civil servants in the past few days. If thousands of people persuade me to come in with one voice, Commander-in-Chief will definitely agree."

Feng Yu looked surprised and said with a smile: "If Marshal Jie becomes the emperor, General Shi will at least be a founding hero of the country. It is not a problem to be granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom of the County. Even if I am promoted to an official, I should be granted the title of Bohou, right?"

"

Shi Siming smiled and said: "As long as Brother Fool is here, Brother Xiang, don't worry. I will not leave you behind in glory and wealth."

Feng Yu hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and then his smile gradually faded, and he suddenly sighed: "Although the commander of the righteous army is General An Jie, my stupid brother feels that most of this half of the country was conquered by General Shi. General An Jie became the emperor just by talking, and Shi

There was a bloody battle in front of the general, but in the end he was only granted the title of Prince of the County..."

Shi Siming's eyes flashed, and he frowned and said displeasedly: "My dear brother, what you said is too much. Don't talk behind your back, otherwise you will get into trouble."

Feng Yu said with a smile: "Brother Yu and Brother Shi are close friends. Some of the things he said are inevitably a bit outspoken, but Brother Yu is really worthless for Brother Shi. Since Fan Yang raised his army, Brother Shi has gone through dozens of battles, large and small, and has taken the lead in every battle.

There are at least a dozen injuries on the body, right? This is a risk of life to gain a future, but what about Commander Anjie? What did he do? He just talked in the commander's tent, and he often suffered defeats..."

"Brother Shi, I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I really don't see anything extraordinary about Marshal Anjie. After the righteous army occupied Guanzhong, I felt that our luck was blocked. We were beaten to disgrace by Gu Qing's Anxi Army several times.

Commander An Jie was helpless, and now he didn't even dare to take the next step south. Yudi thought to himself, if Brother Shi had been replaced as the commander-in-chief, our righteous army would not be in such an embarrassing situation today, right?"

Shi Siming's expression suddenly changed, and he looked around nervously. When he found no one nearby, he softly scolded: "My dear brother, please be careful, don't mention these words again in the future, otherwise even I will be implicated by you!"

Feng Yu suddenly came close to Shi Siming's ear and said in a quiet voice: "Brother Shi, I'm afraid you're not that convinced in your heart, right? You've obviously made great achievements in battle, and you've obviously taken down the country with your life, so why should you let others decide for you?

What’s your future? Why can’t you be the one who confers titles and titles to others?”

Shi Siming was shocked, lowered his voice and said sternly: "Feng Yu, are you going to kill me?"

"No, on the contrary, Yu brother is unwilling to accept that Brother Shi is just a pawn in the hands of An Jie Shuai. Yu brother wants to help you go further. If Brother Shi doesn't have the courage, then Yu brother has misjudged the person. Today, he will treat me as nothing.

I didn’t say anything, Brother Shi will still be your loyal minister, and I will continue to be my dandy, earning a little money and playing with women, my life is enough."

Shi Siming's expression kept changing, as if he was struggling fiercely inside.

Feng Yu sneered secretly.

He knew that Shi Siming had actually had his thoughts in mind for a long time, but these thoughts were hidden and the time was not ripe. He could only bury these thoughts in his heart and wait for the time to come.

A treasonous rebel army is basically a den of wolves. The generals in the army are all ambitious people. How can they be other people's ministers peacefully?

As for ambition, Feng Yu had already seen what Shi Siming was about to do. The number one general under An Lushan had endured all the humiliation in front of An Lushan all year round. How could he not have any rebellious intentions?

Now that An Lushan was about to proclaim himself emperor, Feng Yu secretly judged that the opportunity that Shi Siming had been waiting for had probably come. In fact, it was Shi Siming who took the initiative to persuade An Lushan to join him.

That's why Feng Yu said these heart-wrenching words to Shi Siming to test Shi Siming's reaction. It was a bit risky, but seeing that Shi Siming only scolded but did not react more violently, Feng Yu was secretly happy. He knew

I made a right bet.

Shi Siming is indeed rebellious, and he needs allies at this time.

Who else is more suitable to be an ally than Feng Yu?

Of course, especially the man lying in the room, he was more suitable to be Shi Siming's ally than Feng Yu in terms of weight.

What Feng Yu had to do at this moment was to completely release the ulterior thoughts in Shi Siming's heart.

The window paper has already been torn, let's let it be torn even more thoroughly.
