Chapter 60: Bow in awe

Guo Ziyi returned to the dynasty in triumph, and Pei Min personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of Chang'an to greet him.

Guo Ziyi's return to the dynasty meant that the rebellion that had lasted for two years was officially put down.

As the first contributor to the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Ziyi deserves such an honor.

Guo Ziyi's performance in the Anshi Rebellion was not only to recover Beidi and Liaodong, but also to move to Hedong, stick to Taiyuan, and fight against Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan, and Niu Tingju's 100,000 army with 3,000 strong troops.

The horn of the counterattack was sounded after Pei Min came to Chang'an, but Guo Ziyi's previous exploits cannot be denied because of this.

Not only can they not, but they must be treated differently.

At that time, the temple was in chaos, and Li Heng continued to instigate Li Yan to make a fool of himself for his own interests.

It can be said that if it weren't for Guo Ziyi's stubborn defense of Taiyuan, the land of Longxing of the Li Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for Zhang Xun's transfer to the Central Plains, he broke the rebels and gave the Li Tang Dynasty time to take a breath.

Shi Siming and Ling Huchao's army went south, and Jianghuai and Jingxiang would inevitably not be able to keep it.

As soon as Jianghuai and Jingxiang were lost, the advantage of the Yangtze River moat in the south of the Yangtze River was no longer there. Then the situation is very different.

During the most difficult time of the Tang Dynasty, Li Guangbi, the first contributor to the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion in history, was following Pei Min against Arabia.

Therefore, this first credit fell to Guo Ziyi's head.

It was precisely because of the turmoil in the Manchu Dynasty that figures like Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun stood up and dragged a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses from the rebel army, buying Pei Min precious time.

Therefore, coupled with this previous record, Guo Ziyi is undoubtedly the first hero.

Guo Ziyi was notified by the Ministry of Rites and knew that Pei Min personally led the temple to greet him, ordered the army behind him to slow down, and personally led the generals of the Northern Expedition to Shili Pavilion.

Arriving a hundred meters away, Guo Ziyi dismounted and walked quickly, walked closer, knelt directly on the ground, and bowed loudly: "Guo Ziyi knocks to see Pei Xiang!" ”

As the commander of the three armies, more than a dozen generals behind him couldn't stand and bowed to the ground together.

Pei Min was a little surprised for a while, Guo Ziyi was dressed in military uniform.

There is an unwritten rule in this army that the general does not need to salute when he sees him in armor.

Guo Ziyi was wearing armor and actually performed this big gift.

Pei Min hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "The general is a great hero to pacify the traitors, why do you need to do this great gift." ”

Guo Ziyi said sincerely: "If there is no Pei Shuai, there would be today's Guo Ziyi." ”

For Pei Min, Guo Ziyi has always had a little guilt and gratitude, and she has never dared to forget the great grace recommended three times.

Not only that, Li Heng's actions have spread all over the world, and Guo Ziyi was shocked into a cold sweat.

For Li Yan, the emperor, Guo Ziyi has a certain complaint and dissatisfaction in his heart, and the reason is Li Yi.

Guo Ziyi has been reused because of Pei Min's recommendation, but she has never been able to get the real show. It wasn't until he met Li Yi that Li Yi had enough talent and courage, and with the support of Pei Min, Shang Shuling, Guo Ziyi really let go of his hands and feet.

Li Yi also relies on Guo Ziyi's talent, and Guo Ziyi also respects his boss very much.

An Lushan was forced to rebel, and Guo Ziyi, as Li Yi's henchman, saw the current situation most thoroughly.

The situation of winning is not to mention the failure of force, and Li Yi died tragically.

All of this was the result of Li Yan listening to rumors, and Li Yan's stupid tricks after that caused Guo Ziyi's dissatisfaction even more.

However, Guo Ziyi is a standard Confucian general, no matter how dissatisfied he is with Li Yan and the imperial court, the original intention of loyalty and patriotism remains the same. will not delay things because of his dissatisfaction, as long as the emperor's court needs him, no matter how many grievances he has suffered, he will stand up without hesitation and contribute his strength.

There are many things in Shuofang, Guo Ziyi doesn't know the details. But Li Heng found him as soon as possible and gave him a blueprint for counterinsurgency.

It is undeniable that Li Heng's own talent is slightly better than Li Yan.

Excellent eloquence, deep scheming, and means of buying people's hearts are more than one grade higher than Li Yan.

Guo Ziyi will not participate in the temple dispute, but in the face of Li Heng, who has become the emperor, he is still happy to see it, and also expresses his allegiance, only hoping that Li Heng can turn the situation around and lead them to recover their disadvantage.

So when Pei Min and Li Heng clashed with each other, Guo Ziyi was particularly difficult.

Li Heng is the object of his approval, and Pei Min has the power to save the Tang Dynasty, and his orders are aimed at An Lushan's death hole everywhere, and pacifying the troubled times is just around the corner.

In the end, Guo Ziyi chose to follow Pei Min's instructions.

On the one hand, there was no problem with Pei Min's instructions, and on the other hand, Guo Ziyi believed that Pei Min could lead the temple to glory.

Guo Ziyi's choice of Li Yan, the emperor, was not to choose Li Yan at all, but to choose Pei Min who stood on Li Yan's side.

As a result, Guo Ziyi was scared into a cold sweat.

Guo Ziyi never imagined that Li Heng had done so many bad things, and even Li Yi's death was related to Li Heng.

Thinking that if he stood on the wrong team, it would be tantamount to aiding and abusive, Guo Ziyi, who got the news, was shocked into a cold sweat at that time.

If it weren't for Pei Min's existence, Guo Ziyi couldn't imagine how long he would be wrong if he made mistakes again and again.

Therefore, this time, Guo Ziyi is grateful to Pei Min from the bottom of her heart for leading him back to the right path from the evil path.

For Pei Min's prestige in the army, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces have long been surprised, and seeing Guo Ziyi respecting Pei Min so much, he didn't think that no one in the temple today has the strength to balance Pei Min.

Not to mention that Li Yan is now obedient to Pei Min's words, even if he has other thoughts, he has no strength to compete.

Pei Min didn't know that Guo Ziyi had a deep meaning, but in the blueprint he drew up, Guo Ziyi, as one of the six marshals, occupied a pivotal position.

Being able to get his support and release his suspicions is a good thing.

Pulling Guo Ziyi, Pei Min and the generals arrived at the imperial city amid the cheers of the people of Chang'an and paid a visit to Li Yan.

The traitors of the Anshi Rebellion all gathered in Chang'an.

In response to them, the temple almost did not delay and directly issued a penalty notice.

The thief leader An Lushan, Shi Siming, Gao Shang, and Yan Zhuang were all the thieves' masterminds, and Ling Chi was executed, An Lushan and Shi Siming punished the nine clans, and the noble and strict Zhuang exterminated the three clans.

Zhang Wanqing, Sun Xiaozhe, Xu Guidao, Dugu Wenshu, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Tongyu, Cui Qianyou, Cai Xide, Yin Ziqi, Niu Tingyu, Xu Huangyu, An Junxiong, An Xiao, Li Qinqin, Li Lijie, Ashina Chengqing, Fan Xiuyan, Ashina Congli and other major generals were all executed.

The rest of the sinners were lightly punished and exiled to the Western Regions and Arabia in order to enrich the strength of the West.

For those families who secretly communicated with An Lushan, Pei Min was also merciless, killing those who should be killed, punishing those who should be punished, and exiled all those who should be exiled. The place of exile was also changed to Arabia.

This series of punishments shows the Li Tang Dynasty's control over the world.

Of course, there are punishments and rewards.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all stared at the rewards that were about to be announced.

This time, the commendation is not only for the Anshi Rebellion, but also for the world-famous achievement of defeating the first power in the West and capturing the capital of the Arab country.
