Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 275 Tang Xuanzong's Another Stinky Chess Move ([-])
With the consent of Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guozhong quickly used his power as prime minister to recruit an army of 1 people, dispatched weapons and armor, and asked his confidant Du Qianyun to lead the army to Ba stationed.

Tongguan is not far from Chang'an City, Yang Guozhong's obvious move, how can he hide it from Ge Shuhan.

Ge Shuhan is a very straightforward person, and he just feels very uncomfortable.

Well, Lao Tzu defends against the enemy in the front, and you Yang Guozhong defends Lao Tzu in the rear?I still think that Tongguan has few soldiers. You, Yang Guozhong, have gathered [-] soldiers and horses in just half a month. They are not used to defend against the enemy, but to defend against Laozi.

I just don't know if His Majesty knows the meaning of Yang Guozhong's actions. If he knows, it will be really chilling.

The more Ge Shuhan thought about it, the angrier he became. No matter what, he couldn't remain indifferent to Yang Guozhong's behavior, so he had to give Yang Guozhong a warning!
On that day, Ge Shuhan went to Tang Xuanzong.

He bluntly said that the [-] troops in Bashang would be included in the defense of Tongguan, so that he, the marshal, could be the unified leader and better prevent the rebels.

Tang Xuanzong received Ge Shuhan's request. He didn't know the conflict between Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan, and he was relying heavily on Ge Shuhan. It was really hard to refuse Ge Shuhan's request.Furthermore, Tang Xuanzong also knew that if Tongguan could not be defended, even if the [-] troops guarded Bashang, it would be useless. It would be better to give Ge Shuhan a unified command, so Tang Xuanzong agreed.

After receiving Tang Xuanzong's permission, Ge Shuhan immediately felt relieved.His Majesty doesn't seem to know that Yang Guozhong's petty thoughts are at least towards his brother Shu Han.

On the second day, Ge Shuhan called Du Ganyun to Tongguan for discussion.

The Bashang army had already been brought under Ge Shuhan's command, so naturally Du Qianyun could not defy Ge Shuhan's summons.

However, Du Qianyun also relied on being Yang Guozhong's confidant, and did not regard himself as an ordinary general. Although he did go to Tongguan to meet Ge Shuhan, he did not go to Tongguan immediately after receiving the military order, which led him to Tongguan. It was a full day late!The lieutenant next to Ge Shuhan scolded Du Qianyun, but Du Qianyun didn't care about it.

Ge Shuhan got angry all of a sudden. He was very annoyed by Yang Guozhong's actions at first, and he had been holding back his anger. Now that Du Qianyun is doing this again, what do you want to do?Just because he is Yang Guozhong's confidant, don't take him as the coach seriously!

"Come on, Du Qianyun disobeyed the military order, neglected the commander, and affected the morale of the army. He should be beheaded!" Ge Shuhan directly ordered Du Qianyun to be beheaded.

Several soldiers immediately rushed towards Du Ganyun, and instantly restrained Du Ganyun.

"Ge Shuhan, what are you doing? I belong to the Prime Minister!" Du Qianyun panicked, and immediately brought out Yang Guozhong as a talisman.

It's okay if Yang Guozhong is not moved out, but when Yang Guozhong is moved out, Ge Shuhan will be more determined to behead Du Qianyun, otherwise, what is the majesty of his coach?How to warn Yang Guozhong?
It wasn't until he was dragged to the execution ground that Du Qianyun finally got scared and begged Ge Shuhan for mercy.It's a pity that Ge Shuhan was indifferent, and no one else interceded for Du Qianyun. Du Qianyun was chopped off by a knife and axe, and died tragically in Tongguan!

After Du Qianyun was killed, Ge Shuhan went to the table to explain to Tang Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong didn't know the twists and turns, and thought that Du Qianyun had neglected the military order and was killed by Ge Shuhan. Anyway, he didn't know how important the general was.

Tang Xuanzong understood Ge Shuhan, but Yang Guozhong couldn't understand it. He only knew that Ge Shuhan was demonstrating to him!
"Old man Ge Shuhan!" Yang Guozhong became more terrified than before, and he returned to the previous nightmare where he saw himself being killed by Ge Shuhan every day. more.

-------
On the other hand, An Qingxu led the main force of the rebels to attack Tongguan three times, but each time he lost troops and generals.

Everyone knows the danger of Tongguan. As long as the 10,000+ Tang army can't hold on to Tongguan, no matter how powerful the generals are, they will never want to capture Tongguan.But knowing this, An Lushan couldn't stop the backlog of anger in his heart, and he needed to vent it.

As the leader of the army, An Qingxu naturally became the target of An Lushan's venting, and was scolded by An Lushan.

Since being frightened by Yan Gaoqing's death that day, An Lushan has become more irritable than before, and his body has become weaker and weaker.

Although most of Hebei has been wiped out, there is still one Yan Zhenqing.

Zhou Wanqing died in the battle in Hedong, Gao Xiuyan was defeated, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi entered Hedong, and even Taiyuan City was lost. The situation is very bad.

Nanyang and Huainan also made little progress.

On the Tongguan side, the repeated loss of soldiers will not allow an inch of progress, and the reason why the body is clearly deteriorating.

Everything makes An Lushan so irritable that he always wants to kill.

Even if he is An Lushan's son, An Qingxu is full of fear for the current An Lushan.

"You stay in Luoyang for the time being. From now on, Cui Qianyou will be in charge of the Tongguan war!" An Lushan removed An Qingxu's position as the coach, and Cui Qianyou was in charge of breaking through Tongguan.

To say that the most capable generals around An Lushan are Cui Ganyou, Shi Siming, and Cai Xide.

After Cui Ganyou was in Shanzhou, he knew that there was no possibility of taking Tongguan by force.

After some discussions with his subordinates, Cui Ganyou established a strategy to lure the enemy out of Tongguan and annihilate them, and then deployed.

In order to lure the Tang army out of Tongguan, Cui Qianyou created all kinds of false appearances. He hid all the real elite soldiers, leaving only a few thousand old and weak soldiers to show off, and spread rumors everywhere that the main force of the rebel army had been transferred to Huainan and was about to capture Huainan and Jiangnan.There are only a few thousand rebels left behind in Shan County, and they lack training and are vulnerable.

Cui Qianyou knew very well that as Ge Shuhan was a battle-hardened veteran, such clumsy rumors would not be able to deceive Ge Shuhan, but Cui Qianyou was not in a hurry. Originally, his rumors like this were not for Ge Shuhan. , but said to Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guozhong in Chang'an City and other emperor officials who had no military knowledge.

Although Ge Shuhan was the marshal of the Tongguan Tang Army, he was only a general after all. As long as Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guozhong believed the rumors and made a decision to order Ge Shuhan to send troops, could it be possible that Ge Shuhan's arms could twist his thighs?

Cui Qianyou's control over the situation and people's hearts is exquisite, this strategy is really brilliant.

Just as Cui Qianyou expected, when he heard the rumors, Ge Shuhan just smiled dismissively and didn't believe in Lingbao at all. There were only a few thousand anti-army old and weak soldiers left in Shan County, and he immediately realized that this was Cui Qianyou's trick.

Ge Shuhan felt that Cui Ganyou was still 'too young', and it was impossible for him to be fooled by such a clumsy trick.
