Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 199 Guo Ziyi rises! Sweep Hebei and regain Chang'an!

The time above the sky passes quickly and fleetingly!

Although Guo Ziyi was just a minor official from the ninth rank at first, as he was promoted year by year,

In the eighth year of Tianbao's reign, he was appointed General Zuowuwei and became an important official of the third rank.

The battalion officer who had to be rescued by Ge Shuhan from the very beginning grew into an important general, but if there were no historical twists and turns,

The 59-year-old veteran may have stopped here!

In Tianbao's fourteenth year, he already held many positions and became a military governor.

If the Anshi Rebellion had not occurred in the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi would probably have stopped serving as a local minister.

An Lushan rebelled in Fan Yang and started the Anshi Rebellion.

The Tang Dynasty appointed Guo Ziyi as the governor of Shuofang. The jurisdiction of Shuofang in the Tang Dynasty was in today's Ningxia area.

The seat of Shuofang Jiedushi was in Lingwu.

Therefore, Shuofang's army was located in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty's territory. It often faced invasions from foreign enemies, so the people's customs were strong.

Therefore, Shuofang's army is a brave and capable army.

The Tang Dynasty ordered Guo Ziyi to lead Shuofang's army to the east to attack the Anlu Mountain rebels.

So Guo Ziyi led the army into today's Shanxi, preparing to attack the enemy's base camp - Fanyang, Hebei.

In the first month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang and sent his army west to attack the capital Chang'an.

In a hurry, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty led Concubine Yang, princes and a few close ministers to flee westward under the protection of the imperial guards.

When they arrived at Maweiyi, the sergeants mutinied and killed Prime Minister Yang Guozhong and forced Concubine Yang to death. Under the arrangement of the eunuch Li Fuguo, the prince led part of the army to march northwest.

Tang Xuanzong also led another part of the army and ministers to flee directly to Chengdu, Sichuan.

The target of the march of Prince Li Heng and his party was Lingwu, the headquarters of Shuofang Army. Since the number of the Prince's army was small and the army was uneasy, the Prince ordered Guo Ziyi to return to defend Shuofang.

After receiving the order, Guo Ziyi immediately transferred his army back to defend Shuo Fang.

When Guo Ziyi's army returned to Shuofang, its military power was greatly enhanced, and Prince Li Hengcai ascended the throne as emperor with the support of his ministers.

That is, Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, who respected his father, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, as the Supreme Emperor!

……

Li Heng was extremely embarrassed. He looked at his father and didn't know what to say. He was trembling with fear.

Li Longji sighed softly. Seeing the results above the sky again, he couldn't help but feel tired.

He held Yang Yuhuan's hand tightly and comforted him for a while, then slowly said to Li Xiang,

"It doesn't matter. The crime of this war is not your fault. I should also reflect on it and look at the follow-up."

"Father..."

Li Heng was so moved that our Emperor Suzong finally felt relieved.

……

Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty inspected the army and saw the might of Shuofang's army of hundreds of thousands of people. He felt at ease and ordered his son Li Chu, King of Guangping, who would later become the Grand Marshal of the World's Military and Horses, to be appointed Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Ziyi was the deputy marshal, leading the army southward to recover Chang'an.

Although King Guangping was called the Grand Marshal, it was of course Guo Ziyi who commanded the army to charge on the battlefield.

However, King Guangping and Guo Ziyi got along day and night, and saw Guo Ziyi's loyalty and bravery, which made King Guangping deeply admire Guo Ziyi.

This impression of King Guangping has a lot to do with Guo Ziyi's ability to die a good death in the future.

However, Guo Ziyi also knew that with the number of troops that the Tang central government could control at that time, it would not be easy to defeat the hundreds of thousands of rebels in Anlu Mountain.

So he contacted the Huihe people and asked the Huihe people to send troops to attack Chang'an with the Tang army.

Guo Ziyi has been in the Shuofang frontier for a long time, has frequent contacts with the Uighur chiefs, and is familiar with them.

Guo Ziyi knew that the Uighurs had always been greedy for money, but had no ambition to invade the Central Plains and occupy land. If the Uighur army was introduced to the Central Plains,

Although they will inevitably plunder the people of the Central Plains and cause losses to the people of the Tang Dynasty, from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty,

Because the Uighurs had no ambition to occupy the land of the Tang Dynasty, compared with the invasion by the Anlushan rebels,

The relatively small threat to the Tang Dynasty was the lesser of two evils. The Tang Dynasty also agreed with Guo Ziyi's idea of ​​summoning Huihe troops to the Central Plains.

So the Tang Dynasty and the Hui Dynasty allied forces and attacked Chang'an together!

In the intercalary month of August, Guo Ziyi was promoted to deputy marshal of the world's army and horses, serving as Minister of War, Ping Zhangshi and Jiedushi of Shuofang, Longyou and Hexi towns.

In September, Guo Ziyi, as deputy commander of the Chinese army, accompanied by King Guangping and Marshal Li Chu led the Tibetan and Han troops to recapture Chang'an with 150,000 soldiers.

On the canopy:

"Guo Zhongcheng, Li Guangbi is here!"

Hearing that Li Guangbi had arrived, Guo Ziyi immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up, and ran outside.

"I will see you at last, Guo Zhongcheng!" "You are finally here!"

"After receiving Guo Zhongcheng's transfer order, the general rushed from Hexi immediately."

"I heard that the rebels have arrived at Tongguan!"

Li Guangbi looked angry,

"An Lushan is just a beast! The Tang Dynasty treated him so kindly, how dare he rebel!"

"There is no need to say more about this. The sage ordered me to regain Hebei. I just took it back to Yunzhong.

Now I need another army of yours to go south to Hedong, march east from Jingxingkou, and finally recapture Changshan County, Zhao County, etc. to cut off the communication between the rebels and Fan Yang! "

"Thanks to Guo Zhongcheng for your great respect, I will not let you down even if my body is shattered into pieces!"

"Okay, military affairs are urgent. You quickly lead 10,000 troops and go south!"

At the same time, the rebel camp!

"What! Yunzhong was captured by the Tang army!"

Shi Chaoyi's expression changed slightly, "Who is the general? He can capture Yunzhong so quickly!"

Shi Siming looked a little cold and said:

"The commander-in-chief of the Tang Army is Guo Ziyi."

"Guo Ziyi! It's him!"

Guo Ziyi is not very well-known, but he is still considered a prominent figure. Before the Anshi Rebellion, he was a second-tier general in the Tang army.

Shi Chaoyi said quickly: "General, Guo Ziyi will send troops from Hedong to Hebei at any time. We must end the war in Hebei as soon as possible!"

"Who the hell is Guo Ziyi!" Shi Siming said with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Shi Siming's current troops are the elite among the elite. They fight all the way and loot everywhere, which greatly satisfies the soldiers' greed and murderous desire, and they are extremely powerful.

……

Above the sky, thick subtitles suddenly appeared!

[The Battle of Xiangji Temple is a duel between the most elite troops in ancient times. The only one who can defeat the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty itself! 】

When they arrived in the west of Chang'an City, Guo Ziyi stationed troops in the north of Xiangji Temple and east of Lishui River.

At this time, there were 150,000 elite troops gathered around him, mainly composed of the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army.

This group of people are all frontier soldiers who have been out plundering land for the Tang Dynasty all year round. Their combat effectiveness is in the first echelon among the Tang army.

Among them, the Mo Dao team led by Li Siye shocked the world and became famous.

In addition to the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army, Pugu Huaien also borrowed 5,000 people from Afghanistan, Uighur, and Khotan respectively.

Li Heng planned to take advantage of Shanxi's height to swoop down and capture Hedong, the throat between Chang'an and Luoyang.

After taking Tongguan, the East Route Army blocked the retreat of the Chang'an rebels and the reinforcements of the Luoyang rebels, echoing the West Route Army, and finally regained Chang'an together.

Li Siye was the front army, Guo Ziyi was the middle army, and Wang Sili was the rear army.

One hundred thousand rebels were stationed to the north of the Tang army. The rebel Li Guiren came out to challenge. The Tang army pursued and approached the enemy's position.

The rebels attacked the Tang army. The Tang army retreated and was repulsed by the rebels. The Tang army was in panic and the rebels scrambled to seize the baggage.

Everyone knows that the soldier Wang Rao was shot between the eyebrows by the enemy in order to save his general, and his face fell down to cover his eyes.

The king rarely pulled out the arrow, tore off his face, and his face was covered with blood, but he still fought forward.

The rebels ambush the cavalry on the east side of the battlefield, trying to attack the Tang army from behind, but were detected by the Tang army.

Pugu Huai'en, the military envoy in the left wing of Shuofang, led the Huihe army to attack the rebel ambush, and all the enemy ambush was wiped out. The morale of the rebel army declined.

Li Siye and the Uighur army fought behind the rebel formation, and together with the Tang army in front, they attacked the rebels from noon to Youshi!

The Tang army numbered 150,000, and the rebels numbered 110,000.

Bayonet fighting is the most authentic victory achieved with one knife and one gun.

To put it simply, this is a war between the Northwest Border Guards and the Northeast Border Guards. They are both the first combat echelon of the Tang Empire and they are all elites.

Although from the data point of view, the rebels do not have an advantage, they are well-equipped, and they are internally monolithic and extremely united.

Compared with the Tang army in bulk, it actually looked more like a regular army.
