Years: 756 - 756
January
Approaching Luoyang, An Lushan encounters an ill-prepared army commanded by Feng.
Defeating Feng quickly, he forces Feng to flee and concede Luoyang to him.
Feng joins forces with Gao and urges a retreat to Tong Pass; Gao agrees, and they take up defensive positions there.
An does not proceed quickly, but remains at Luoyang, planning to declare himself emperor there.
(Emperor Xuanzong, Soon, due to accusations of the eunuch Bian Lingcheng, soon executes Feng and Gao and replaces Gao with Geshu Han.)
