An Lushan (Chinese: 安祿山; pinyin: Ān Lùshān; 20th day of the 1st month [4] (19 February) 703 [2] – 29 January 757 [3]) was a Chinese military general and rebel leader during the Tang dynasty and is primarily known for instigating the An Lushan Rebellion which devastated China and killed millions of people.
An Lushan screamed "this is a thief of my own household" as he desperately shook his curtains since he could not find his sword to defend himself. An Lushan's intestines came out of his body as he was hacked to death by Li Zhuer and Yan Zhuang. [34] [35]: 41 A horse was once crushed to death under An Lushan's sheer weight due to his fatness. [36]
The An Lushan rebellion began in December 755. By the end of 756, the rebel Yan army had captured most of northern China, which then included both Tang capitals, Chang'an and Luoyang, and was home to the majority of the empire's population. The Yangtze basin had thus become the main base of the Tang dynasty's war efforts.
