Chapter 162: Guo Ziyi's Ups and Downs
Facts have proved that Guo Ziyi never speaks big words.
The so-called rebels are under his command, and they are not opponents at all.
An army of 15 marched in three directions, defeating the Yan army steadily, and finally the two sides fought a decisive battle at Xiangji Temple.
Guo Ziyi himself is an old man who bears the burden, and he relies on his strong army organization and the elite soldiers under his command.
Tangtang Zhengzheng crushed and passed by, beheading [-] people in the first battle, the rebels scattered like birds and beasts in an instant, and the ancient capital Chang'an, which was under the rebels' command for more than a year, was also recovered because of this.
Afterwards, Guo Ziyi rested for three days and continued his eastward expedition. The eastern capital was Luoyang, and he fell without a fight.
Subsequently, the chaos in Henan, Hedong, and Hexi were all put down by Guo Ziyi.
It can be said here that although the rebel army still exists, the general situation of the world has actually been saved by Guo Ziyi's efforts to turn the tide.
Carry the two capitals and return them to the emperor.
Tang Suzong was finally able to return to this place that belonged to the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
In November of the same year, Guo Ziyi entered the court from Luoyang, Suzong dispatched a guard of honor, lined up to welcome him, and said that sentence excitedly.
"Although my home country is really rebuilt by Qing!"
So far, the Anshi Rebellion has come to an end.
But it's like a joke made by the heavens, things that go smoothly are often not without waves.
The first thing to be sure is that Tang Suzong Li Heng, although he did not make the ranking list of Hunjun, does not mean that he is a very good emperor.
On the contrary, An Lushan's rebellion is just around the corner. An Lushan was originally a general of the Tang Dynasty. The general rebelled and the world was in turmoil. Therefore, Li Heng is almost certain that he is worried about the other generals.
At the same time, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there was a rather terrifying and little-known incident.
"eunuch!"
Liu Xiu: "Eunuch? What do you mean?"
Ying Zheng: "Is the eunuch in power again?"
Li Shimin: "Isn't it? Just some eunuchs?"
Everyone didn't believe it, but in fact, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the power of officials often overwhelmed the sky with one hand, and it was even so big that the emperor would pay attention to it.Even many things, the emperor had to discuss with the eunuchs before they could be implemented.
Unfortunately, after Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong in the Tang Dynasty, the people who came to power next were also not good people.
This person is called Yu Chaoen.
An eunuch, who was deeply loved by Tang Suzong, and because of the rebellion ahead, Tang Suzong did not dare to give the generals too much military power, so in the next raid on An Qingxu's troops.
Tang Suzong Li Heng made a suffocating decision.
That is, all the envoys from the Nine Routes gathered here to fight against Ping An Qingxu, but for the sake of equal rights, this time there is no post of Marshal of the Army and Horses, and everyone will fight on their own.
And not only that, he also made Yu Chaoen the supervisor.Coordinate the operations of the various armies.
A mighty 20 army attacked Yecheng, intending to wipe out An Qingxu in one fell swoop.
At this time, Shi Siming, seeing that the general situation of the world was not right, had already voted, but after thinking about it, he raised his troops and re-judged. Although he and An Qingxu were at odds, he also knew the truth.
So this time, the opponent in the battle of Yecheng was not only the [-] soldiers in An Qingxu's hands, but also Shi Siming's reinforcements.
But even so, in the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Tang Jun still has the advantage.
Han Xin: "Although I can't understand Li Heng's thoughts, there is no doubt that this approach is stupid."
Zhao Kuangyin: "I'm just afraid that the generals will rebel. In fact, Guo Ziyi is like this, and he doesn't want to rebel. People in their 60s can't believe it. Why bother?"
Zhao Guangyi: "You don't need to be suspicious, and you don't need to be suspicious of the employer. This is the most likely to cause accidents at both ends of the head. Man! If you are bold, Guo Ziyi can't trust it, who else can you trust?"
The Song Dynasty was the one who felt the most about Li Heng's thoughts. The generals seized power, which was something the emperor couldn't do anything about.
So Li Heng is a little more timid, and it seems that there is no big problem.
But this is from a personal point of view, from the perspective of the overall situation, it is really a bad thing.
Different military orders are the most prone to problems.
Sure enough, in the early days, Guo Ziyi made great strides and crossed the Yellow River to encircle Weizhou. An Qingxu led the army to rescue, and Guo Ziyi used a small trick to lure the enemy.
An Qingxu was defeated in Weizhou, and more than [-] people were beheaded. Even his younger brother An Qinghe was captured and killed by Tang Jun.
Then he fled to Yecheng. At this time, there were really only [-] soldiers and horses left in his hands.
An Qingxu had no choice but to write to Shi Siming for help.
At this time, because Li Guangbi's scheme was exposed, Shi Siming rebelled and captured Weizhou. At the same time, he had already made himself the Great Sage Yan King, and received news from An Qingxu.
Shi Siming sent troops from Weizhou, a surprise attack, because there was no unified marshal among the Tang army, he was caught off guard instead.
Facing enemies from both sides, fortunately, Li Guangbi and others fought bloody battles in the south of Yecheng, and the situation has stabilized at any rate.
However, although the loss of troops on both sides was not large, Yecheng could not be encircled. At the same time, Guo Ziyi's rear army had no choice but to retreat because of the sudden wind and sand, which covered the sky and blocked the sun.
The intention of finally destroying An Qingxu naturally failed to be achieved.
The main reason was that Yu Chaoen didn't understand military affairs, and the army didn't cooperate with each other at all. As a result, Shi Siming's knife was stabbed in the waist, and the army still didn't react.
If it wasn't for the bloody battle, this time, it would definitely be another large-scale defeat. It was only a small loss, but it was still acceptable.
But Li Heng himself is quite concerned about ending the Anshi Rebellion.
Yu Chaoen is also a quick-witted person. After returning to the teacher, he did nothing else. He immediately talked about Guo Ziyi's problem, because Guo Ziyi led to the defeat of the Tang army.
Guo Ziyi made every possible excuse, but Tang Suzong Li Heng didn't listen to it at all, or he didn't want to hear it, or he probably knew that the defeat was caused by Yu Chaoen.
But he needs an excuse, this excuse, to relieve Guo Ziyi from his military post.
The damage to the main force of the Tang army was not serious, so Tang Suzong Li Heng changed his generals.
Order Zhao Wang Li Xi as the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and Li Guangbi as the deputy commander.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be a problem for Li Guangbi to go out this time. His talent is not inferior to Guo Ziyi's when it comes to fighting.
At the same time, An Qingxu and Shi Siming didn't deal with it at all. After the Tang army retreated, Shi Siming directly killed An Qingxu and established himself as Emperor Yingtian.
Later, Shi Siming made a small plan and sent people to spread rumors that his troops were eager to return and had no will to fight.
Yu Chaoen believed the news and told Tang Suzong, who also thought this was an excellent opportunity!
Ever since, the story of Xuanzong came to repeat itself.
Li Heng urged Li Guangbi to attack, but Li Guangbi had no choice but to advance and fell into a trap. The Tang army was defeated. After the First World War, Henan, Huaizhou and other places were all lost.
Shi Siming went directly to the south.Afterwards, Mangshan fought and lost again, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, fell into the hands of thieves again.
But then, because Shi Siming's attack on Chang'an was repeatedly frustrated, he threatened to kill the soldiers in anger.
Then the soldiers rebelled directly and supported Shi Siming's son Shi Chaoyi, and the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.
Originally, with the support of everyone in the court, Li Guangbi failed, and Guo Ziyi was about to lead the army to the expedition, but the great eunuch Yu Chaoen obstructed it, so the matter had no choice but to let go.
Then Luoyang fell, and then Hezhong and Taiyuan rebelled.
At this time, the imperial court, out of desperation, used Guo Ziyi again.
But instead of letting Guo Ziyi lead the army to go out, let Guo Ziyi put down the rebellion.
Guo Ziyi took office, named the king of Fenyang County, and quickly quelled the rebellion.
But what is waiting for him is not the court's important use, or ordering him to send troops to quell the rebellion.
It was an imperial decree to dismiss the military power, serve as the envoy of Suzong's mountain mausoleum, and supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum. At this time, Luoyang, the eastern capital, was still in the hands of Shi Chaoyi.
