Chapter 366: The Son of Heaven's Great Reward

Fortunately, the bad news did not follow, and the men and horses sent to Hedong Province only lost about 10,000 people, and the rest of the main elite were all preserved. However, the situation faced by these people is also very tricky, ** I don't know when I touched the Yellow River crossing, burned most of the ferry, plus the grain road was repeatedly harassed before, and tens of thousands of horses and horses intercepted by the Yellow River on the north bank were starved and starved, so they could only move eastward along the river.

Sun Xiaozhe has always focused his main energy on Tongguan and on the generalissimo Gao Xianzhi, but who would have thought that Hedong City would actually kill Cheng Cheng halfway, and completely dismantle all his plans with three strikes and five divisions. At this point, he knew that his previous plan had been lost, and the only thing he could do next was to find a scapegoat.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to pass the failure of this strategy no matter what, in case it is repeatedly taken by the people behind the little cub in Luoyang City, the intention of the strategy will probably have many twists and turns.

Sure enough, An Qingxu soon came to the door angrily, and from the moment he stepped into the military tent, he scolded him with his head and face. Sun Xiaozhe had suffered such humiliation, especially by An Qingxu, who was like a fool. However, at this time and at that time, this time he carelessly missed, and lost his troops, if the final outcome was only scolded, it would be a great blessing.

Finally, An Qingxu's mouth was dry when he scolded, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the servant to bring the wine up, he slapped the sealing mud on the wine jar, and did not use the bowl, he poured a big sip of his own coo, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Now that the little cub from the Duan clan will definitely hold on, you should come up with a way to deal with it, otherwise, otherwise we will break up in two......"

An Qingxu used the strength of the wine to speak, and he didn't open the door when he spoke, and he wanted to use Sun Xiaozhe as a scapegoat to push him out.

Sun Xiaozhe sneered secretly, there are not many people in the army who lead soldiers at the moment, there are not many people who support An Qingxu, if it weren't for the ghost who was on the wrong side at the beginning, I'm afraid he wouldn't have succumbed to An Qingxu at this time. But under the low eaves, I also had to bow my head.

"King Jin doesn't need to worry too much, this battle is just the beginning, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer. ”

An Qingxu raised the wine jar again, poured a sip of it, and said angrily:

"It is indeed unknown who killed the deer, but how did I get through this level now? I have lost tens of thousands of lives in vain, and I have never taken a city or a place, how can I explain to the Son of Heaven?"

In Sun Xiaozhe's head, An Lushan is now a wasted person, and all his attitudes can only be expressed through the eunuch Li Zhu'er, and this Li Zhu'er has been fed by him and Yan Zhuang with a lot of money early on. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the attitude of the Son of Heaven, the only variable is still in Shi Siming.

As long as Shi Siming does not turn over in Hebei Province in a short period of time, the responsibility for the defeat of Tongguan may not be investigated.

"Your Highness, there was another letter from Luoyang yesterday, the Son of Heaven's condition has worsened again, and it is said that his feet have also festered and stinky, and he screams in pain every day......

"Rotten feet, too?"

An Qingxu's expression did not have a trace of worry and sadness, he wanted to hide his gloating, but due to the strength of the wine, the flesh on his face did not obey for a while, and let out a weird smile. Putting aside the blood relationship between father and son, An Qingxu hated this biological father, in the past, An Lushan doted on his eldest son An Qingzong, and often disdained him, beating and scolding him at every turn. Later, An Qingzong stayed in Chang'an as a colt and became a hostage, and An Lushan re-produced the young son of the Duan family, who loved him every time, which made An Qingxu jealous.

Now, An Lushan is riddled with diseases, his eyes are difficult to see, he has sores on his body, and now even his feet are ulcerated.

"The Son of Heaven is not in good health, and I hope that there will be good news before the battle to lift your spirits, so you can draw up a plan as soon as possible......"

mentioned that An Lushan had added another new trouble, An Qingxu's mood was much better, he raised the wine jar again, and drank the rest in one go. It's just that although An Qingxu is good at wine, he has an average amount of alcohol, and he is already dizzy and dizzy after a jar of wine, his thinking is blurred, and after a while, he is crooked on a few cases, snoring like thunder.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaozhe secretly scolded a fool.

Although An Qingxu scolded and humiliated him, the fact is that both of them are grasshoppers on a rope, and there is no situation of losing the car to protect the handsome. Because An Qingxu is the nominal marshal, Sun Xiaozhe is just the deputy marshal. Although all specific military affairs are handled by Sun Xiaozhe alone, as long as they are held responsible, both of them will not escape the blame.

"Come on, King Jin is drunk, help him go back!"

Sending away the drunken An Qingxu, Sun Xiaozhe fell into deep thought again. Yan Zhuang also sent a secret letter, it is said that An Lushan intends to seal the son of the Duan clan as the king of Qi, which is by no means a good sign, although Li Zhu'er can have an impact on An Lushan, who is seriously ill, but this matter has become a well-known thing in the government and the opposition, I am afraid it is not easy to cover up and block, once the king of Qi is established, the threat to An Qingxu will be one step closer.

Sun Xiaozhe doesn't care about An Qingxu's life or death, what he cares about is that he and one are both prosperous and one is lost.

After thinking about it for a long time, a new plan was brewing again, but before executing the plan, he had to find a few scapegoats to use as scapegoats for the futility of this battle. Since he has led his division to the west, he must take Tongguan and take Chang'an directly in order to return to the dynasty in victory. Otherwise, it will be in vain, and the only way that awaits him is debasement and exile.

Sun Xiaozhe has always been arrogant, and of course he will not be willing to accept his fate.

The looming crowing of the rooster suddenly came from outside the military tent, and Sun Xiaozhe finally gave a long halt, and a strong sense of exhaustion came up, and he tilted his head and fell on the couch and snored loudly.

……

Gao Xianzhi personally arrived at Shangyang Pass, and Qi Bihe and Huo Ba Guiren were both people who made great contributions in the battle of Shangyang Pass, and the performance of these two people did not disappoint him, but there were many surprises. To tell the truth, when Gao Xianzhi heard the news of the rebellion of the guard general Ma Xuanren and the loss of Shangyang Pass, he was very pessimistic in his heart, and sent Qi Bihe and Huo Ba Guiren, but he was not sure that he would be able to recover Shangyang Pass. But it turns out that God still favors Datang, so that these two brave generals can recover Shangyang Pass in one battle.

After a brief review of the army of the Khi Ho Hui Huo Guiren, Gao Xianzhi immediately issued a series of orders.

First, the ** who ordered Tongguan to take over Shangyang Pass, and then made Qibihe and Huoba Guiren's troops rush north and cross the Yellow River, where there is still a big battle waiting for them to solve.

However, before the two of them set off, the good news had already come from Tongguan. Sun Xiaozhe's rebels suffered a great loss under the city of Hedong, and the specific casualties are unknown, even most of the ferries at the Yellow River crossing were burned, and now those people are temporarily trapped on the north bank, and it is difficult to return to the south bank of the Yellow River.

This is really exciting news, and the haze that has been in Gao Xianzhi's chest for many days has been swept away at this moment. As the battle of Shangyang Pass came to an end, he thought that he could interfere in the war in Hedong City to the north, but he didn't want Hedong City to drive away the long-planned and aggressive Sun Xiaozhe rebels by himself.

According to Gao Xianzhi's judgment, Sun Xiaozhe made such a big move, and he was determined to win Hedong City, and now Shangyang Pass returned in vain, not to mention the loss of 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, and Hedong City is even more stealing chickens and rice. Under such a heavy setback, Sun Xiaozhe can stop peacefully for a while.

After the excitement, Gao Xianzhi immediately became extremely interested in what was happening under Hedong City. According to the previous intelligence reality, Sun Xiaozhe invested at least about 50,000 men and horses in this place, and the army of Hedong City was only 10,000 when it was full. With only a few thousand people, how can we talk about retreating from the enemy if the amount of self-protection and loss is insufficient?

Could it be the role of Huang Fu Ke? However, Huang Fu Ke clearly mentioned in his reply that the Shenwu Army had sent a group of men and horses to occupy the Pujin Bridge, and it was difficult to get out. According to Gao Xianzhi's understanding, this situation is indeed true, and Huangfu Ke can't ignore himself and take care of the affairs of Hedong City, right? This is obviously even more unreasonable.

Puzzled, Gao Xianzhi thought of another possibility, but then he denied it. It was impossible for that person to cross the Yellow River to Hedong County to fight the rebels, and it would be of no benefit to them to do so in the first place, and it would be extremely risky.

It's a pity that the transportation is inconvenient, and there are many obstacles to the communication on both sides of the Yellow River, so Gao Xianzhi can only sit and wait for the final news to solve the confusion in his heart.

Although this battle was not a big victory to boast about, it thwarted the rebels' strategic plans and was also a successful defensive battle. What's more, where are the thirty or forty thousand beheadings. Gao Xianzhi wrote to Chang'an on the same day to ask for merit for his generals.

Arriving in Chang'an along with Gao Xianzhi's letter was also a letter from Feng Yijun's Taishou Qin Jin.

For Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, this is one after another excellent news.

The first battle of Tongguan repelled the aggressive rebels and beheaded 30,000 or 40,000, followed by another victory under the city of Hedong, and nearly 10,000 people were beheaded. What's even more exciting is that Huangfu Ke was concerned about the imperial court at a critical moment, and he actually returned to the Tang Dynasty anyway, and joined forces with a partial division sent by Qin Jin to Pujin to fight the thieves, so there was a big battle under Hedong City.

"Reward, I want to be rewarded!"

At this time of turmoil, victory was extremely rare, and the successive victories greatly boosted the mood of Li Longji, the son of heaven. The loss and lack of confidence in the past seem to have been swept away at this moment.

This big victory is more like a charcoal in the snow for Li Longji, when his personal prestige fell to the bottom, he can finally prove to the world that he is still the Tang Dynasty Emperor who scolded Fang Xuan, and the mandate of heaven is still tightly held in the hands of the Li Tang Dynasty.
