Chapter 238 bluffing, playing tricks, Lao Guo is a professional
[An Qingxu was defeated and fled, and the imperial court, also known as Guo Ziyi, led the army to pursue to Xiangzhou (Yecheng).

Xu Shuji, Dong Qin, Wang Sili, and Xue Jianxun, the army envoy from Hedong, arrived one after another. An Qingxu collected the remnants of the rebel army and fought with the official army at Chousigang. They were defeated and lost more than [-] people again.

An Qingxu retreated into the city and stood firm, Guo Ziyi and others besieged Yecheng, and then flooded the city with water from Zhangzhou.

Although the city could not be broken, the city was so trapped that there was no food, and there was even a cannibalism incident because of this, which shows the tragic situation of the battle. 】

[An Qingxu was in a desperate situation and had to send someone to Shi Siming for help.

Shi Siming understood the reason why his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, so he sent 30 troops to rescue Yecheng. 】

[In order to crusade against An Qingxu, Tang Suzong appointed Guo Ziyi and the Jiedu Envoy Li Guangbi of Hedong, Wang Sili of Guannei, Li Siye of Beiting, Lu Jiong of Xiangdeng, Ji Guangchen of Jingnan, Cui Guangyuan of Henan, Huapu Jiedu Xu Shuji and Xingping Jiedu Li Huan, a total of nine Jiedu envoys, led an army of 60 to go there, intending to do their best in one battle.

However, because Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are both heroes of the country, it is difficult for Li Heng to be subordinate to each other, so he did not set up a marshal, and only used the eunuch Yu Chaoen as a consolation envoy to watch the military appearance. 】

"It's going to be a problem with the slime."

"This is definitely going to go wrong! It's better to just send out Guo Ziyi."

"Soldiers are more expensive than elites, but Li Heng doesn't understand this truth."

Sure enough, as everyone expected, something happened to the officers and soldiers.

[Theoretically speaking, with the strength of the nine-quarter envoy, it is possible to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

However, this group of coalition forces has a large number of people, but there is no leader in the group, and the generals fight on their own, without being under the leadership of each other.

Yu Chaoen is the highest official who supervises and manipulates the Nine Festivals, but he doesn't know the art of war at all, doesn't know how to use troops, and just messes around. 】

[Shi Siming sent troops from Weizhou to aid An Qingxu.

Shi Siming led the army to fight. Li Guangbi, Wang Sili, Xu Shuji, and Lu Jiong fought Shi Siming first. The two sides were evenly matched. Lu Jiong was injured and quit the battle.

Guo Ziyi led his troops behind, and before he had time to set up his formation, a strong wind suddenly picked up, blowing sand and pulling trees, and the world was dark.

The Tang army and the rebel army were all shocked, and each abandoned their troops to battle their supplies. The Tang army retreated southward and the rebel army retreated northward.

Guo Ziyi retreated to Heyang, and Emperor Suzong Li Heng appointed Guo Ziyi to stay behind in the eastern capital, marshal of the camps of Tokyo Ji, Shannan Dongdao, Henan and other roads.

Yu Chaoen was always jealous of Guo Ziyi because of watching the military appearance, so he took the opportunity to blame Guo Ziyi for Xiangzhou's defeat, and slandered him in front of Emperor Suzong.

Tang Suzong Li Heng didn't know right from wrong, believed it to be true, called Guo Ziyi back to the capital, appointed Zhao Wang Li Xi as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and Li Guangbi as the deputy commander to lead Shuofang Jiedu envoy, thus depriving Guo Ziyi of his military power. 】

[Guo Ziyi's career has not been smooth, and it can even be said that he has been framed by villains many times, but Guo Ziyi still puts the overall situation first, is loyal to the court, and has not become angry or depressed because of this.

However, without Guo Ziyi, Datang's combat power began to plummet. 】

[In February of the second year of Shangyuan (AD 761), Li Guangbi, Pugu Huai'en and others defeated Mangshan Mountain, and Shi Siming captured Luoyang again.

In February of the first year of Baoying (AD 762), Li Guozhen, the commander of the Shuofang armies, and Deng Jingshan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, were killed one after another.The imperial court feared that these two armies would unite with the rebels, so Guo Ziyi was reappointed as the military commander of Shuofang, Hezhong, Beiting, Lu, Yi, Ze, Qin and other prefectures, as well as the deputy marshal of Xingping and Dingguo. He was appointed king of Fenyang County and stationed in Jiangzhou. 】

[At that time, Tang Suzong Li Heng was seriously ill and did not see all the officials.

Guo Ziyi asked: "The veteran accepts the appointment and is about to die in another place. If you don't see Your Majesty, you can't rest in peace when you die."

Only then did Li Heng order someone to invite Guo Ziyi into the bedroom, and said: "I leave everything about Hedong to you."

Guo Ziyi shed tears and left.

He led the army to Jiangzhou's residence. The first thing he did was to capture dozens of people including Wang Yuanzhen, the bandit leader who killed the coach Li Guozhen.

General Zhang Yunjing of Taiyuan also followed Guo Ziyi's example and captured the head of the bandit. 】

[In April of the second year of Shangyuan, Emperor Daizong Li Yu came to the throne, and the eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen boasted that he had made great contributions to supporting Daizong's ascension, and controlled the government.

He was jealous of the veteran and important minister, and took strict precautions against Guo Ziyi, the jade pillar of the Tang Dynasty, so he asked Daizong to request Guo Ziyi's removal from military power, and recalled him to Chang'an to manage the affairs of Suzong's tomb.

After Guo Ziyi returned to Beijing, he wrote twenty volumes of imperial edicts written by Suzong and dedicated them to Daizong, so that he could gain insight into his loyalty to serve the country and relieve suspicion.

Daizong read the edict and replied: "I am not ignorant of morality, which makes the ministers feel worried and suspicious. I am deeply ashamed. I hope you don't take it seriously."

At that time, Shi Chaoyi, the leader of the rebel army, was entrenched in Luoyang, and the imperial court sent Li Shi, the king of Yong, as the marshal to lead the expedition.

Daizong wanted to appoint Guo Ziyi as deputy commander, but Yu Chaoen and Cheng Yuanzhen killed minister Pei Mao and others, disrupting the government, so Guo Ziyi's appointment was put on hold. 】

[After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the society of Tang Dynasty was full of internal contradictions, internal and external troubles, and was riddled with holes.

However, one wave ends and another wave rises again.

Due to the need to fight against the northern rebels, the western army was withdrawn in large numbers,
Taking advantage of the emptiness, Tubo went deep into the interior, aggressively invaded, and even occupied more than a dozen prefectures west of Fengxiang and north of neighboring prefectures in Shaanxi.

Until Fengtian was occupied, and it was about to hit the city of Chang'an, Daizong Li Yu was so frightened that he fled to Shanzhou overnight to seek refuge.

The Tubo army occupied Chang'an, and they made Li Chenghong, the king of Guangwu, the Tang clan, the emperor, as their ruling tool.

The Tubo army plundered Chang'an and other places, looting the prosperous Chang'an area. 】

"This Chang'an City is really full of disasters!"

"The incompetent emperor finally killed the people of my Tang Dynasty."

【Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Li Yu hurriedly issued an edict to worship Guo Ziyi as the deputy marshal of the pass.

When Guo Ziyi received the edict, there were only 20 cavalry. He traveled all the way from Luoyang to Wuguan, and only then did he pack up more than [-] stragglers.

When they arrived in Lantian, Shaanxi, the divisions of King Qin from all walks of life arrived one after another.

In order to face the national calamity, share the national humiliation, and recover the capital, all the armies expressed their willingness to accept Guo Ziyi's unified command. 】

"That's right!"

"Snakes can't fly without a head, birds can't fly without wings, these people really have to suffer to grow their memory."

"Oh, you always let an old man run around, won't your Li family's conscience hurt?"

[After Guo Ziyi analyzed the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is numerous and we are few, he adopted the tactics of bluffing and bluffing.

He sent General Sun Quanxu of the Habayashi Army to lead two hundred light cavalry to the north of Lantian City, beating drums and shouting during the day, and lighting torches at night, pretending to march towards the east of Lantian City to contain the Tubo troops.

In secret, Guo Ziyi personally led the main force to kill to the west of Lantian City.

At the same time, he sent Wang Fu, the general of the Forbidden Army, to sneak into Chang'an, and secretly contacted the young heroes in the capital as internal support.

After some deployment, the Tang army began to attack and hit Lantian directly.

The Tubo soldiers first rushed straight to the east of Lantian City, but they were all in vain. Only then did they realize that they had been tricked by the Tang army, and they were suddenly panicked.

But at this time, the internal responders in the capital shouted one after another: "Mr. Guo Ling leads the army!"

The Tubo soldiers were besieged on all sides, and left without a fight, fleeing in a hurry.

In the end, Chang'an was recaptured by Guo Ziyi only fifteen days after the fall. 】
