Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Just when Li Lin entered Jianmen Pass and went north to Shuzhong to welcome the Supreme Emperor Li Longji back to Chang'an.

The entire Luoyang City has fallen into complete chaos.

Yan Zhuang could no longer control Luoyang.

Shan County fell, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty pointed directly at Luoyang.

Anyone who knows something about the general situation of the world knows that the pseudo-yan has not been in Luoyang for a long time.

Among them, the people in Luoyang City are naturally looking forward to Master Wang's recovery of Luoyang the most.

Luoyang was originally the second largest city in the world, even surpassing Chang'an in some places, and it was also a large city with a population of one million.

However, after being ravaged by wars and disasters, the puppet Yan court made major repairs in Luoyang and recruited a large number of hard labor.

He kept arresting the strong men and pulling the people of Luoyang to join the army.

They also sent soldiers to collect military donations from door to door, and cleverly set up a pretense to collect money from the people.

After such a toss by the puppet Yan court, the population of Luoyang has now dropped to a little over [-].

This is the real ten rooms and nine empties, the whole Luoyang can be said to be a hell on earth.

The people of Luoyang hated An Lushan and An Qingxu. Now that the Tang Dynasty is about to recover Luoyang, the people are already looking forward to welcoming the king.

Hearing that Luoyang was going to be restored, the one who felt the most contradictory was Wang Wei, a minister who was forced to serve as a puppet Yan.

When the rebels quickly occupied the two capitals, Li Longji rushed out of Chang'an in panic.

Many ministers did not have time to escape, and were caught by the pseudo-yan when they woke up.

They were unwilling to surrender to the puppet Yan court, but like Yan Gaoqing, there were not many ministers who could go to death calmly without being a thief.

Most of them were under the power of An Lushan, and like Wang Wei, they took part-time jobs in the pseudo-Yan court and made decorations.

When An Lushan and his son were so powerful, it was natural that these literati and officials were needed to decorate the court.

When An Qingxu himself was about to flee back to Hedong, these ministers naturally lost their effect.

However, these ministers were naturally unwilling to let them escape back to Hedong with An Qingxu.

Who knew that the puppet Yan was on the verge of collapse now, wouldn't going to Hedong now mean joining the national army in [-]?

But if they stay in Luoyang, I am afraid that Datang will liquidate them again when they come back.

The rest are officials like Da Xixun who have completely betrayed Datang.

In Zhang Wu's previous Luoyang spy operation, Da Xixun had been controlled by the inner guard players who had sneaked into Luoyang.

These Tang traitors who served as high-ranking officials in the puppet Yan court are waiting for their own judgment in fear every day.

The most magical thing in this world is that Yan Zhuang, the Prime Minister of Puppet Yan who stays behind in Luoyang now, has the most relaxed state of mind.

After the Battle of Suiyang, Yan Zhuang was under the matchmaking of the players, and had flirted with Datang before the Battle of Shanxia.

At that time, Cui Yougan's logistics relied on Luoyang for supplies. Guo Ziyi hurriedly went to the court, and Li Heng personally pardoned Yan Zhuang's crimes.

It's just that I didn't expect the puppet Yan army in the Shanxia Gorge to be defeated too quickly. Now there is no suspense for the Tang army to regain Luoyang.

However, the emperor's secret decree had already pardoned Yan Zhuang, and would also grant him the position of Minister of Agriculture of the third rank.

However, Luoyang is also one of the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, with tall walls and many granaries in the city.

If you really want to attack Luoyang by force, then the Tang army will have to pay a heavy price.

Now An Qingxu fled back to Hedong, and Shi Siming led the elite to station in Taiyuan.

Although the two capitals have been restored, the three towns in Hedong are still a huge threat.

The most important thing is that it is almost winter now, and the Battle of Suiyang was won, but the Bian River was also blocked.

Datang's supplies can't keep up.

Therefore, Luoyang's direct surrender is currently the best choice for Datang.

Just when Guo Ziyi was about to march into Luoyang, Li Chu, the crown prince of Guangping, rushed in suddenly.

Guo Ziyi respected the prince quite a lot on weekdays, but this time Li Chu also wisely did not interfere with the army's operations.

Guo Ziyi was not very satisfied with the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he knew that the world was in a precarious state and Li Chu was not the best prince, but the turmoil caused by changing the prince, the Tang Dynasty could not afford it now.

In Li Mi's words, everyone is "tolerating each other for the country" now, and they can only make do before the Puppet Yan rebellion is put down.

Guo Ziyi's attitude towards the prince is to keep him at a respectful distance.

Guo Ziyi has never taken the initiative to go to the prince's camp since he dispatched troops.

After Li Chu's random command led to the defeat of the Tang army last time, Guo Ziyi took the initiative to take the blame, and he was embarrassed to see Guo Ziyi.

But at this moment is the time to see Guo Ziyi!

As soon as Li Chu entered the door, he said, "Marshal, please save Luoyang!"

Guo Ziyi was taken aback, only to hear Li Chu say something that made him angry and hateful!

"At the decisive battle that day, in order to allow the Uyghur cavalry to fight, Gu and Prince Ye Hu made an agreement that when the city of Luoyang is broken, the Uyghurs will plunder it for three days!"

"Tomorrow the army will go to the city of Luoyang! If the Uighurs really want to rob the city, what will the Marshal do!"

Guo Ziyi only felt his head buzzing.

Although there are only 4000 Uighur cavalry, they are all the best of the best.

In the Battle of Xiangji Temple and the Battle of Shanxia, ​​the Uighur cavalry played a decisive role.

Li Chu is the crown prince of a country, how can he turn his back on what he agreed with the Uighurs?

Guo Ziyi said angrily: "Why didn't the prince say it earlier! But the army is going to Luoyang City to talk about it?"

Guo Ziyi then realized that Li Chu said now that he wanted to push the blame on himself again.

The prince of a dignified country made an agreement with a foreign race to plunder one of the country's capitals.

If such news spreads, how can Li Chu inherit the country?

At least the people of Luoyang will scold him to death!
Guo Ziyi's face flushed with anger, he pointed at Li Chu and said, "Aren't you afraid of the world's resentment if the prince does this?"

Li Chu sighed and said: "The situation was critical during the battle of Xiangji Temple that day, and Ye Hu threatened that he would not fight, so Gu had no choice but to do so."

Then Li Chu said with a flash of cold light: "Why don't we find an opportunity to kill these four thousand Uighurs?"

Guo Ziyi looked straight at Li Chu, at this moment he was extremely disappointed in Li Chu.

Privately agreeing to the Uyghurs to allow them to plunder Luoyang is quite embarrassing.

Now he wants to go back on his word and ask Tang Jun to kill his allies.

Guo Ziyi said: "No!"

"In the two decisive battles, the Uyghurs made contributions. If the Uyghurs were killed, what would the other aliens in the army think?"

Guo Ziyi is a well-known general in the world, so he naturally knows the damage to the army if he breaks his promise.

Leading troops to fight is a very complicated thing, but there is also a very simple thing.

The complication is that leading troops to fight requires others to die for you, which is not something that can be achieved by shouting a few slogans.

After all, all soldiers are human beings, real human beings.

But the simplicity is that as long as you can do what you promise the soldiers, then the soldiers will trust their superiors.

The unity of the army depends on "faith". A coach who goes back and forth cannot lead the army to fight.

Guo Ziyi looked at Li Chu and said: "Please talk to the prince and Ye Hu again, if we can not rob Luoyang City, we can give him some other rewards."

Li Chu sighed and said, "Then Ye Hu asked for 20 bolts of silk, can the marshal get it all together?"

Guo Ziyi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head endlessly.

At this time, Luoyang City was full of joy, Li Daoyuan and his westbound group also entered Luoyang City because Li Yan gave too many rewards.

Zhang Wu also returned to Luoyang from Suiyang. At this time, the players gathered in Luoyang for a meeting.

Zhang Duanyang coughed and said:
"Everyone, Luoyang is about to recover, but there is still one troublesome thing before us."

Zhang Duanyang is a historian who studies documents unearthed in Dunhuang. He said to the crowd:

"Historically, after the restoration of Luoyang City, Prince Li Chu agreed to Uighur Prince Yehu and allowed the Uighur cavalry to plunder Luoyang for three days."

After saying this, the players were all blown up.

"You son of a bitch! Luoyang's recovery is due to us!"

"Why did he promise the Uyghurs?"

"These Uighurs were beaten into dogs by us on the grassland!"

The players were excited, and Zhang Wu said: "Everyone, listen to Mr. Zhang!"

The players quieted down, and Zhang Duanyang said again:

"Ye Hu wants to rob Luoyang, all he wants is to bribe his soldiers, and follow him back to the grassland to compete for the position of Khan."

Everyone nodded. The coach of the Uyghur people is Prince Ye Hu, who is also the older brother of the current Uyghur Mou Yu Khan.

Originally, Prince Ye Hu had an advantage in the competition, but he didn't expect that the old Khan failed to attack Ge Luolu, and died when he returned to Uighur Yazhang City.

In order to make a smooth transition, the old Khan handed over the position of Khan to Prince Yidijian, who is now Mou Yu Khan.

At this time, the status of Prince Yidijian who led the troops to aid Datang was embarrassing.

Zhang Duanyang said:
"Historically, Luoyang was plundered by the Uyghur cavalry for a day, and the people couldn't stand it anymore. The Uyghurs didn't continue to plunder after collecting the huge rewards the Uyghurs demanded."

Now the players became even more excited, and they all shouted: "This is unreasonable! These Uighur bandits!"

"Why should you give them money! Luoyang was recovered by us!"

Zhang Wu looked at Zhang Duanyang and said, "Old Zhang, do you have any other options?"

Zhang Duanyang didn't hold back and said:

"My method, since it is to surrender to Datang, then don't surrender to Guo Ziyi's army!"

Zhang Duanyang looked at Zhang Wu and said:

"Isn't Zhang Xun's army from Henan also coming to Luoyang? If we surrender to Zhang Xun and Zhang Xun leads troops to guard Luoyang City, how can the Uighurs plunder Luoyang?"

Everyone came to their senses. After the Battle of Suiyang, Zhang Xun led the Linhuai Army and the Bianzhou Army, as well as the Suiyang Army he had recruited, and rushed all the way west to Luoyang.

The puppet Yan army in Bianzhou along the way surrendered immediately, and all cities in Henan were restored.

Now Zhang Xun's army is less than three days away from Luoyang.

Zhang Xun has an army of [-] in his hands, as well as a strong general like Nan Jiyun.

Zhang Xun is the number one city defender in the Tang Dynasty, as long as he enters Luoyang City, how can the Uighurs loot Luoyang!

The players quickly reached an agreement to ask Yan Zhuang to hold back Guo Ziyi's army, prevent them from entering Luoyang City first, and then send someone to urge Zhang Xun to arrive in Luoyang quickly.

But Guo Ziyi's army is about to reach the city of Luoyang, how can they last for three days?
