Borderlands The wind and sand blew, the sound of war drums gradually subsided, but An Lushan's heart could not calm down. He knew that this victory was only temporary, and the enemy would not give up. Sitting in a simple military tent, he repeatedly read the confidential report in his hand, and every line felt like a heavy hammer striking his heart. "General An, it seems that the enemy is making a move," a scout hurriedly entered the tent, his face grave. An Lushan raised his head, his gaze sharp: "Speak, what's the unusual?"
"General, we intercepted an enemy's internal secret letter, which mentioned that they are planning a surprise attack on our army's food and supplies," the scout handed over the secret letter.
An Lushan took the secret letter, quickly glanced through it, and furrowed his brows: "Food and supplies are the lifeblood of our army and must not be lost. Issue the order to strengthen the defense of the food and supplies camp. At the same time, we need to outwit them at their own game."
"Outwit them at their own game?" the scout asked in confusion.
"Yes, since the enemy wants to ambush our food and supplies, we'll just let them steal an empty space." An Lushan smiled slightly, a hint of cunning in his eyes.
As night fell, the starry sky over borderlands was exceptionally bright. An Lushan led an elite force quietly out of the camp, heading towards the direction of the enemy. Meanwhile, a group of elderly, weak, and sick soldiers, along with plenty of "supplies," were left at the food and supplies camp.
"General, is this really feasible? What if the enemy doesn't fall for it?" a deputy general expressed some concern.
"Don't worry, since the enemy has already learned about our grain and forage location, they won't miss this opportunity." An Lushan is full of confidence, "Moreover, the 'grain and forage' we left behind is quite useful."
Sure enough, as An Lushan expected, upon learning about the weak defense of the grain and forage camp, the enemy immediately sent an elite force to launch a surprise attack. However, when they arrived at the camp, they found that the ground was covered with nothing but straw and sand.
"General, we've been tricked!" the enemy commander looked at the ground filled with straw and sand, filled with regret.
At this moment, An Lushan has led an elite force to flank the enemy and launched a fierce attack. The enemy was caught off guard and quickly fell into chaos.
"An Lushan, how dare you betray us!" the enemy general roared.
"Betrayal?" An Lushan sneered, "I have never been involved with your corrupt ways, so how can I be accused of betrayal? It is you who have colluded with foreign enemies and attempted to subvert the country, you are the true traitors!"
After a fierce battle, the enemy was completely annihilated, and An Lushan returned to the camp with the joy of victory. The soldiers cheered and praised An Lushan for his wisdom and bravery.
"General, you are truly a brilliant strategist!" a soldier said admiringly.
"Brilliant strategist is an overstatement, I just used some tactics," An Lushan modestly waved his hand, "However, this victory is only temporary. We still need to continue our efforts to completely defeat the enemy."
Just as An Lushan was preparing to continue deploying defenses, a messenger hurriedly arrived: "General, urgent news has come from the capital!"
An Lushan took the urgent report and saw it read: "Li Bai has discovered the trace of rebellious forces in the capital and requests the general to return to the capital to assist in the investigation."
"Rebellious forces?" An Lushan furrowed his brow, "It seems that the enemy not only colludes with external forces, but also has planted spies within the court. This battle is much more complicated than we imagined."
He pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered, "Spread the word, leave some soldiers to continue holding the borderlands, and the rest will return to the capital with me immediately!"
In the capital, Li Bai was busy in his study, flipping through various documents and confidential reports. His brow was furrowed, clearly troubled by the matter of the rebellious forces.
"Brother Taibai, I'm back," An Lushan's voice rang out at the door.
Li Bai looked up and saw An Lushan return safely, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: " brother An, you're finally back. How is the situation in the borderlands?"
"The situation in the borderlands has stabilized, but the enemy has not given up," An Lushan said in a deep voice, "And, there are signs of rebellious forces appearing in the capital city as well."
"Rebellious forces?" Li Bai was surprised, "What should we do about this?"
"We must find these rebellious forces as soon as possible and wipe them out." An Lushan's eyes flashed with determination. "Otherwise, if they successfully collude with external enemies, the consequences will be unimaginable."
In the days that followed, An Lushan and Li Bai joined forces to investigate the rebellious forces. They visited every corner of the capital, gathering a large amount of clues and intelligence. After a period of effort, they finally pinpointed the hiding place of the rebellious forces.
" brother An, the leader of the rebellious forces is hiding in this estate," Li Bai pointed to a map and said.
"Alright, let's go and capture them all in one fell swoop!" An Lushan ordered without hesitation.
As night fell, An Lushan and Li Bai led an elite team of soldiers to quietly surround the estate. They waited in silence, anticipating the appearance of the rebellious forces.
Before long, the estate's gates slowly opened, and a carriage emerged. An Lushan and Li Bai exchanged a glance, then simultaneously ordered, "Attack!"
The soldiers surged towards the manor like a tide, engaging in fierce combat with the rebellious forces. After a fierce battle, all the members of the rebellious forces were annihilated, and their leader was captured by An Lushan himself.
"Who are you people? Why do you want to betray the country?" An Lushan asked sternly.
"We... we are..." The leader of the rebellious forces stammered, unable to come up with a coherent answer.
"Hmph, no matter who you are, betraying the country is a capital offense!" An Lushan snorted coldly, then ordered the immediate execution of the leader of the rebellious forces.
With the leader of the rebellious forces being executed, the rebellious forces in the capital were completely eradicated. An Lushan and Li Bai once again joined forces and achieved great military feats for the country. Their names were forever engraved in the river of history.
" brother An, we were able to successfully eradicate the rebellious forces this time, thanks to your wisdom and bravery," Li Bai said with emotion.
"TaibaiBrother, you flatter me," An Lushan modestly waved his hand, "The reason we can succeed is because we have a common goal and belief. As long as we work hand in hand, striving tirelessly for the peace of the country and the well-being of the people, nothing can stop our progress."
The two men smiled at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope for the future. They knew that as long as they persevered, the peace of the country and the well-being of the people would eventually come. And their story would be forever remembered and celebrated by future generations.
