Chapter 991 – Tong Pass Is Lost, Your Majesty Run!
Tianbao 14th year, 11th month, 9th day, An Lushan, who was the Jiedushi of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hebei activated the Tang troops under him; he had a total of 150 thousand soldiers. In the name of protecting the country, he started an uprising in Fanyang.
The elite cavalry under him galloped thousands of miles, the rumbling shaking the earth.
They were peaceful for a long time, and the civilians had not seen war in a few generations. Hearing that there was an uprising in Fanyang, they were shocked. Hebei was under the jurisdiction of An Lushan, so the local counties either opened their gates or fled. The rebels quickly took control of Hebei.
