The fall of Luoyang was an important event in the An Lushan Rebellion, which occurred on January 18, 756. This battle resulted in An Lushan's Yeluohe army occupying the Tang dynasty's eastern capital of Luoyang, laying the foundation for his establishment of the regime, Great Yan. [citation needed]
Background
After the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, An Lushan suppressed the Hebei counties by force and crossed the Yellow River. [citation needed] After his beloved son An Qingzong was executed,[1] he launched a new round of offensive against the Tang army. After defeating Chen Liu and Xingyang, An Lushan marched into Luoyang. [citation needed]
After learning of An Lushan's rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong was furious. Feng Changqing was ordered to enter the court and promised to present the head of the traitor to Xuanzong. The imperial court opened the treasury, recruited 200,000 troops in the capital for the force called the Tianwu Army, and went to Luoyang to defend Tong Pass. [citation needed]
