Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Zhang Wu came to a small courtyard on the edge of Luoyang City. An old man was sitting in a wheelchair and was watering the pine trees in the garden.

Following Zhang Wu's entry, Ge Shuhan raised his head and said, "You saved Suiyang too, Tang Jun is about to take back Luoyang, why are you still frowning?"

Zhang Wu pulled a stool and sat down, and when Ge Shuhan finished pouring water, he stood up from the wheelchair again with a cane.

Ge Shuhan tied the dried straw to the trunk of the pine tree, and Zhang Wu also walked over to help Ge Shuhan tie the straw to the pine tree.

While working, Zhang Wujiang Li Chu promised the Uighurs to tell them about the robbing of the city after they regained Chang'an.

Ge Shuhan smiled and said: "The grandparents of the Li family are really the same people."

Zhang Wu understood that the grandparents of the Li family he was talking about were Li Longji and Li Chu.

When Ge Shuhan had a stroke, Li Longji still ordered him to guard Tongguan.

But after Ge Shuhan took control of the army, he refused to listen to Ge Shuhan's suggestion and insisted that he abandon Tongguan and go out to fight Anlu Mountain.

In the end, he was defeated by An Lushan in the first battle, Tongguan missed, and Ge Shuhan was also captured by An Lushan, and suffered all kinds of humiliation.

Ge Shuhan said: "But with your ability, it would be fine to kill that Uighur prince, isn't it difficult?"

But Zhang Wu shook his head and said: "Punishment without guilt is not the way of chivalry."

Ge Shuhan said: "Pedantic."

But Zhang Wu said: "The Uighur helped Datang defeat the Puppet Yan. Now that he has not robbed Luoyang City, what crime should I use to punish him?"

"If it's just for selfish desire to kill someone, how can it be called righteousness?"

Ge Shuhan was stunned for a moment and said, "But the Uighur prince wants to rob Luoyang?"

Zhang Wu said: "When he makes a move, I will kill him, that will be fine, but he is still Datang's friend before he makes a move."

Ge Shuhan said: "The man is alive, why are you so mother-in-law? Don't you want to save Luoyang? What are you doing with these dogmas?"

Zhang Wu looked at Ge Shuhan and said: "Today, because the Uighur prince wants to rob Luoyang, I will kill him. Tomorrow, if your brother Shuhan threatens me, I will kill you?"

"Killing people at will, what kind of knight is that, isn't it no different from that bandit?"

Zhang Wu said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the power, the more one must control one's desires. This is what a great man should do."

Ge Shuhan looked at Zhang Wu and sighed, "What a great man! If you were there in the battle of Tongguan, wouldn't it be the situation now?"

But Zhang Wu said: "Jing Ke's assassination of Qin did not change Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms. Since ancient times, has assassination achieved success?"

Ge Shuhan also nodded and said: "The defeat at Tongguan is because Datang lost the heart of the world, and it is indeed not something an assassin can change."

Ge Shuhan looked at Zhang Wu again and said, "Then what are you going to do today?"

Zhang Wu looked at Ge Shuhan and said, "I want you to write a letter to Guo Ziyi, asking him to hold off the army for three days before entering the city."

Ge Shuhan used to be the governor of Longyou Hexi, the king of Xiping County, and Guo Ziyi's old superior.

You must know that recovering Luoyang is already an unworldly feat. Guo Ziyi has already fallen in Luoyang City. What players are most worried about is that Guo Ziyi is unwilling to give up this credit and enter Luoyang.

At that time, if the Uyghurs sent troops to plunder, things would be difficult to handle.

Ge Shuhan looked at Zhang Wu and said, "I'm just a dying old man, can Guo Ziyi listen to my letter?"

Zhang Wu urged, "Whether we can succeed or not is our business."

"Well, for the people of Luoyang, I will write a letter to Guo Ziyi."

Ge Shuhan walked into the house, wrote a letter and handed it to Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu didn't read the content of the letter, and left Ge Shuhan's house with the letter.

Looking at Zhang Wu who left, Ge Shuhan said again: "With the help of such righteous men back then, I would not have fallen into such a situation."

That night, Zhang Wu sneaked into Guo Ziyi's military account with a letter written by Ge Shuhan.

It has to be said that Guo Ziyi, as the coach of Datang, set up camp very rigorously.

Zhang Wu rushed to the inner layer of the barracks, and there was really no way to continue sneaking in.

He walked directly to Guo Ziyi's big tent and said:
"I have a letter from an old friend, and I want to submit it to Marshal Guo!"

"assassin!"

"There are assassins! Put down your weapons!"

The guarding soldiers rushed over and surrounded Zhang Wutuan.

Zhang Wu also admired the quality of Guo Ziyi's soldiers. Guo Ziyi really deserves to be a famous general in the world.

Zhang Wu raised the letter above his head, a personal guard took the letter, and then the soldiers stepped forward and tied Zhang Wu up.

Guo Ziyi was getting old, and today he heard about the secret agreement between Prince Li Chu and the Uighurs, so he couldn't sleep well.

Hearing the shouts from outside the camp, Guo Ziyi sat up with his clothes on.

"Marshal, someone broke into the marshal's tent at night, saying that there is a letter from an old friend that he wants to hand over to the marshal himself!"

Guo Ziyi said majestically, "Did someone take it?"

"It's taken."

"What about the letters?"

"Marshal, please take a look!"

The personal guard handed the letter brought by Zhang Wu to Guo Ziyi, and after lighting the oil lamp, Guo Ziyi put on reading glasses and read the letter carefully.

When seeing the handwriting of the letter, Guo Ziyi was shocked.

Ge Shuhan is Guo Ziyi's old superior, and there are many people who come here in the past and have written letters.

The notes and the way of wording in this letter are all Goshuhan's correct.

Ge Shuhan is not dead yet?

That's right, when Tongguan was defeated and Ge Shuhan was captured, I heard that he had surrendered to Anlu Mountain to beg for work.

It's just that the Tang court insisted on propagating that Ge Shuhan had died in battle for the sake of face.

Guo Ziyi looked more serious while reading the letter.

After he finished reading the letter, he opened the cover of the oil lamp and burned the letter to ashes.

"Where's the person with the letter?"

"Back to the Marshal! It's out of the account!"

"Bring him in!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Wu, who was tied up, was taken into the barracks. Under the erratic oil lamp, Zhang Wu could clearly see Guo Ziyi's face.

As expected of the eternally famous general who saved the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi not only made great contributions, but also retreated unscathed after making such contributions. His political talents are no less than his military talents.

The reason why Zhang Wu asked Ge Shuhan to write the letter was not only that Ge Shuhan was Guo Ziyi's old superior, but another important reason was that Guo Ziyi's current position was the same as that of Ge Shuhan back then.

The same is the pillar of the country, the same is the general who led the army to counter the rebellion, and also controlled most of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Ziyi's current situation is actually very similar to that of Ge Shuhan in Tongguan.

After the An Lushan Rebellion, the imperial court did not trust the generals who led the troops.

The emperor sent an envoy to supervise the army and let the crown prince be stationed in the army, all with the intention of checking and balancing Guo Ziyi.

It is obvious that Guo Ziyi also understands the court's fear of him.

Guo Ziyi looked at Zhang Wu and said, "You let me wait three days under the city for Zhang Xun to recover Luoyang?"

"Do you know how much credit it is to regain Luoyang?"

Zhang Wu said: "I only know that the recovery of Chang'an is a great achievement, but if you add the recovery of Luoyang, it will be a great disaster."

"Hmph, sharp mouth, untie him."

The soldiers loosened the shackles on Zhang Wu's body, but still bound his hands and feet.

Guo Ziyi signaled to let the soldiers go out again, and then said to Zhang Wu: "You mean that I will regain the two capitals, and I will be the master of the earthquake?"

Zhang Wu said: "Great achievements are not rewarded. Doesn't Marshal Guo understand this truth? Didn't Marshal Guo understand what the court looks like in the Battle of Hedong and the Battle of Qingqu?"

Guo Ziyi was lost in thought.

Zhang Wu also said: "Since the day when Luoyang was recovered, Marshal Guo's strategic proposition has been inconsistent with the imperial court. In the future, the imperial court will no longer fully support and trust Marshal Guo."

Guo Ziyi was taken aback for a moment, and felt that what Zhang Wu said made sense.

Guo Ziyi's strategy is to completely wipe out the fake Yan, and his goal is to capture the three towns in Hedong and completely wipe out the power of Anlu Mountain.

But for the imperial court, it has done its best to regain the two capitals, and it will be a bit difficult to attack Hedong again.

Moreover, if so many troops were handed over to Guo Ziyi's command, the emperor would not be at ease.

But Guo Ziyi was not willing to give up the glory of regaining Luoyang, and even if Guo Ziyi wanted to give up, his soldiers were not willing to give up the credit.

Zhang Wu continued: "If Zhang Xunguang returns to Luoyang, then if the Uighurs want to rob the city again, Marshal Guo can push all of them to Grand Marshal Zhang."

"No matter how domineering the Uighurs are, it is impossible to attack Luoyang City again."

Guo Ziyi lowered his head, thought for a long time and said, "How do you want me to cooperate?"

Early the next morning, Prince Ye Hu was gearing up to rush into Luoyang to plunder.

Unexpectedly, he was called into Guo Ziyi's big tent. Guo Ziyi announced to all the soldiers that they had negotiated the terms of surrender with Yan Zhuang who stayed behind in Luoyang, the puppet Yan, but Yan Zhuang wanted to surrender with several other ministers of the puppet Yan. Guo Ziyi Hurry up and give the emperor of Fengxiang Mansion a rush, so the army temporarily stops at the city of Luoyang.

Hearing this, Prince Ye Hu called out immediately:
"Marshal Guo! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country promised me that as long as Luoyang is captured, we will let us Uighurs plunder for three days!"

All the soldiers glared at Prince Yehu, but in the battle between Xiangji Temple and Shanxia, ​​the Uighur cavalry was powerful.

And the Uyghurs were the reinforcements hired by Datang, so no one stood up and reprimanded Prince Ye Hu.

Guo Ziyi just said lightly: "Luoyang hasn't recovered yet, if Prince Ye Hu can't wait, go attack the city by yourself!"

After saying this, Guo Ziyi simply dismissed the military council.

Prince Ye Hu was furious, he found the theory of Guangping Wang Li Chu, but Li Chu could only say helplessly:

"This time, the emperor ordered Guo Ziyi to lead the whole army, and Guo Ziyi was the only one responsible for Luoyang's surrender, and this king has no way to intervene. Do you want to wait another three days?"

At this time, the Henan Army east of Luoyang was rapidly advancing towards Luoyang under the leadership of Nan Jiyun.
