Late at night, with the lights dim, An Lushan sat alone in his study, gazing at the bright moonlight outside the window, his heart in turmoil. Despite the temporary calm after days of battle, he knew it was just the calm before the storm. The threat from the Hui people still loomed, and the reorganization within the court was far from over.
"General, it's late. You should rest early," a soldier gently reminded, breaking the silence of the study.
An Lushan shook his head slightly and sighed, "The war is not over, the people are uneasy. How can I rest peacefully?"
The bodyguards remained silent, knowing the general's worries but unable to do anything about it. At that moment, Li Bai pushed the door open and entered, his face carrying a hint of mystery. "Brother Lushan, I come to visit late at night to share important news," Li Bai's voice was low and firm.
An Lushan raised his head, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Taibai brother, what have you discovered?"
Li Bai walked to the desk, sat down slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I have thoroughly investigated those officials who betrayed the court and found that behind them is a huge interest group. This group not only controls the financial power of the court, but also colludes with the Hui people tribe, attempting to subvert the court."
An Lushan frowned, his anger evident in his words: "These shameless scoundrels dare to be so rampant! Taibai brother, how should we respond?"
Li Bai took a deep breath and said slowly, "Lushan brother, we must cut off the roots of this interest group in order to completely eradicate the corruption within the court. At the same time, we need to strengthen internal rectification, select a group of loyal and reliable officials, and ensure the stability of the court."
An Lushan nodded and said in a deep voice, "You are right. However, this interest group is deeply entrenched. It won't be easy to eradicate them."
Li Bai smiled slightly, with a glint of wisdom in his eyes, "Don't forget, Lushan brother, we still have the support of the people. As long as we can win their hearts, we can gather a powerful force and overcome all enemies."
An Lushan was moved and felt that Li Bai's words made a lot of sense. He stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the distant starry sky, lost in thought. Li Bai noticed and continued, "Brother Lushan, we can start by rectifying military discipline. Only with strict military discipline can we win the trust and support of the people." An Lushan turned around and firmly said, "Good! Let's start with rectifying military discipline. At the same time, we need to strengthen the training and selection of soldiers to ensure that each soldier is loyal and reliable."
Li Bai nodded in agreement. After discussing for a while, the two decided to immediately implement this plan. In the following days, An Lushan and Li Bai worked together to rectify military discipline, selecting a group of loyal and reliable generals and soldiers. They strengthened supervision and training of the army, greatly enhancing its combat effectiveness. At the same time, they delved into the folk, understanding the people's hardships and needs, actively solving their difficulties and problems. Gradually, An Lushan and Li Bai's reputation spread throughout the court and folk. The people praised them as the pillars of the court and the guardians of the country. Those officials and interest groups who betrayed the court also felt unprecedented pressure.
However, An Lushan was not satisfied with this. He knew deeply that in order to completely eradicate the corruption within the court and eliminate the hidden dangers at the border, more effort and sacrifice would be needed.
Late one night, An Lushan sat alone in his study, reflecting on his experiences and achievements during this time. His heart was filled with emotion and pride, but at the same time, he also felt a hint of loneliness and confusion.
"General, it's late at night, you should rest," the attendant reminded once again.
An Lushan lifted his head and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, feeling an inexplicable surge of emotion. He stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write down his thoughts and dreams.
"I want to contribute my meager efforts to the country, the people, and all under heaven. I want to ensure that the people live in peace and prosperity, the country thrives, and all under heaven is peaceful and trouble-free..." An Lushan's pen flew quickly across the paper, each stroke filled with strength and conviction.
At that moment, a gentle breeze blew through, causing the doors and windows of the study to sway lightly. An Lushan lifted his head, gazing at the bright moonlight and twinkling stars outside, feeling a surge of indomitable ambition.
"I want to become a hero of the court, a pride of the nation! I want my name to be forever engraved in the river of history!" The voice of An Lushan resounded with strength and determination, echoing in every corner of the study. From this moment on, An Lushan's dream officially set sail. He will continue to strive, struggle, and fight tirelessly to achieve his dream and the prosperity and strength of the country!"
