	The '''An Lushan Rebellion''', also known as the '''An–Shi Rebellion''' (安史之亂), was a major civil war of the [[Tang dynasty]]. The rebellion was instigated by the ''[[jiedushi]]'' [[An Lushan]] in December 755 from his base in [[Beijing\|Fanyang]] with the official goal of ousting Chancellor [[Yang Guozhong]] from power. While the two's long-standing feud was common knowledge, the warlord's grievances were secretly driven by a resentment for Guozhong's leadership of the [[Order of the Ancients]] sect known as the [[Golden Turtles]], a clandestine organization influencing the government behind-the-scenes and of which Lushan himself was a member. Unable to secure his candidacy as Guozhong's successor, the infuriated Lushan founded a splinter faction, the [[Yeluohe]], which simultaneously became the public face of his elite forces. His army adopted the slogan "slay Guozhong, purge the lords" as their rallying cry, initially portraying themselves as not rebels but loyalists who sought to revitalize the vitality of the Tang.<ref name="Dynasty 10">''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Hidden Ones (Part 3)]]</ref>		The '''An Lushan Rebellion''', also known as the '''An–Shi Rebellion''' (安史之亂), was a major civil war of the [[Tang dynasty]].
