Chapter 385 Descend Zhang but Don't Descend Tang!

"An Lushan died, at the hands of his son. Ben Shuai had foreseen this for a long time. And now, the rebels are infighting, the contradictions are intensifying, and the morale of the army is unstable, and this is the best time for our army to launch an overall offensive against the Van Duong rebels. ”

Zhang Yi waved his hand suddenly, "Guo Ziyi!" ”

Guo Ziyi came out of class and hugged her fists, "The end will be!" ”

"Guo Ziyi, this commander ordered to lead the Flying Tiger Army 20,000 out of Tongguan to attack Dengzhou, and be sure to take the state within three days," the last general obeyed the order! Guo Ziyi took the order and left.

"Gu Huai'en!" Zhang Chai said indifferently.

"The last general!" Gu Huai'en hugged his fist.

"This commander ordered you to lead the Flying Leopard Army of 20,000 to attack the rebel general Li Guiren's camp on the outskirts of Luoyang, and if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't, you will attack and harass the enemy. If the rebels are strong, you should retreat to Shaanxi County. ”

Zhang Qi said loudly, telling Gu Huaien.

Gu Huaien's eyes lit up, and the task of harassing him with joy ♀ was equivalent to picking up a bargain and standing on the basis of no fault.

As long as he harassed the rebels, he completed Zhang Jie's military life.

Gu Huaien also took the order and left.

"Ordered Yan Zhen of Shaanxi County 9 to lead his 20,000 troops to attack the Tiger Pass. Tell Yan Zhenqing that he will do whatever it takes to win the tiger prison for Ben Shuai. If he can't get the Tiger Prison, he doesn't have to come back to see Ben Shuai. Zhang Jie's voice was cold, echoing in the hall.

All the generals are the same.

On the same day, the three-way army launched a full-scale campaign against the rebels at the same time, and the Yan State led by An Qingxu shook up and down.

The Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, and is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and mountains staggered, which is a natural danger. Tiger Pass is the main gateway from Hebei to Henan, if it occupies Tiger Pass, it is equivalent to cutting off the supply line of the Anqingxu rebels, so that the rebels in Henan lose the support of Fan Yangda's rear.

The rebel general guarding the Tiger Pass was Zhang Zhongzhi, with more than 10,000 troops and horses under his command.

An Lushan nominally died of illness, but the news of An Qingxu's murder of his father and usurpation of the throne spread far and wide. It's just that as An Lushan's general, even if Zhang Zhongzhi has doubts in his heart, he does not dare to openly disobey An Qingwei's orders. However, as a result, Zhang Zhongzhi retreated and was ready to withdraw to Hebei at any time to preserve his strength.

Because of An Lushan's death, Zhang Zhongzhi felt that the good days of Fan Yang's military horses in Henan had come to an end. And half of the Tang Dynasty that it occupied before is about to go down the drain. An Lushan's generals who have this kind of thinking are by no means Zhang Zhongzhi alone.

In this sense, as soon as An Lushan died, Fan Yang's military spirit was dispersed.

An Lushan's subordinates became detached from morality because of An Lushan's doom, and they were in a mess. Although nominally and superficially, all the generals expressed their allegiance to An Qingxu.

Yan Zhenqing led his 20,000 mourning soldiers to attack the Tiger Prison Day and Night.

For Yan Zhenqing, this is his last chance, if he loses again, he will probably never have the shame to live in the world again.

Therefore, from Yan Zhenqing downwards, his soldiers have all held back their strength and are ready to fight to the death against the rebels in Tiger Prison Pass, one is a way out, and the other is to wash away the shame.

Zhang Zhongzhi stood on top of the gatehouse of the Tiger Prison, staring at the dusty Yan Zhen9, that is, the way the army came, and his brows furrowed. And some of the lieutenants standing behind him didn't look good.

Tongguan Zhang Jie has already sent a three-way army to launch a fierce attack on the entire Henan at the same time, in this case, it is difficult for An Qingxu in Luoyang to have the energy and strength to take care of the Tiger Pass.

Although it was 10,000 against 20,000, the rebels took advantage of the danger and stuck to the Tiger Pass, and it was not a big problem. However, Zhang Zhongzhi's is not a small tiger prison, but the safety of the entire Henan and Luoyang.

At this moment, the Fanyang army and horses entrenched in Henan have a total of 100,000 people, while Zhang Mao has 150,000 people, occupying an obvious advantage.

And Zhang Chai is a world-famous military god, with outstanding military achievements, Wen Tao's martial arts are outstanding, and compared to Zhang Chai, An Qingxu is almost a straw bale rammed goods.

Therefore, many of An Lushan's generals thought that An Qingjie was not Zhang Lian's opponent, and Henan might not be able to hold it for too long.

Because of this, after An Qingxu ascended the throne and became emperor, Yan Zhuang and others began to persuade An Qingxu to give up Lianghuai and Jiangnan, withdraw from Henan and Luoyang, retreat to Fanyang, stick to business, self-prestige, and fight against the Tang Dynasty.

"General!" One of Zhang Zhongzhi's generals hugged his fists and saluted, and was about to say something, but Zhang Zhongzhi waved his hand and stopped.

"Don't say it, a certain family knows it. Come on, give the order, the whole army is on alert, and stick to the tiger prison! After Zhang Zhongzhi issued the military order, he immediately walked down the building.

Yan Zhenqing led the army to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, and after a day of rest, he piled up the Tiger Prison Pass regardless of casualties and launched a fierce attack.

And at this time, Guo Ziyi's 20,000 Flying Tiger Army had successfully taken Dengzhou. Guo Ziyi is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and has a reputation in the army, as soon as Guo Ziyi's soldiers and horses arrived, Xue Angui, the defender of the Dengzhou rebel army, abandoned the city and fled, but let Guo Ziyi pick up a bargain.

Guo Ziyi entered and occupied Dengzhou, and on the other hand, he led the army to pursue Xue Angui, annihilated thousands of rebels and returned to the city, and reported to Tongguan.

At the same time, Gu Huaien led 20,000 Flying Leopard troops to attack and harass Li Jiuren's camp on the outskirts of Luoyang, and Li Guiren hurriedly responded to the battle, but Gu Huaien obeyed Zhang Guiren's military orders and refused to fight Li Guiren head-on, mainly attacking and harassing.

Gu Huaien attacked the periphery of Luoyang, Guo Ziyi took Dengzhou, and Yan Zhenqing led the army to attack the Tiger Pass. When the news came back to Luoyang, the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom in Luoyang were flustered and didn't know where to go.

Zhang Li's army was like a rainbow, while the rebels were fluctuating.

In the face of Gu Huaien's attack, Li Guiren had to raise a large army to meet An Qingxu's strict orders, looking for a decisive battle with Gu Huaien's army, and then Gu Huaien led the army to retreat to Shaanxi County, and Li Guiren's troops had no choice but to retreat to Luoyang.

At this time, Zhang Li personally led the Shence Army, the Shenwu Army and the Flying Tiger Army, as well as 20,000 cavalry of the Hui Hui, a total of 60,000 people, known as 100,000, to leave Tongguan and attack Luoyang head-on.

The important task of guarding Tongguan was handed over to Feng Chong.

The states, counties, and counties along the route are all looking forward to the wind.

Zhang Zhongzhi of the Tiger Prison Pass got the news and knew that An Qingxu's general trend had gone, so he did not hesitate anymore, immediately gave up guarding the pass, and led the army to retreat to Fanyang.

Yan Zhenqing paid the price of thousands of casualties and finally entered the Tiger Prison Pass.

Tiger Prison Pass Victory!

Dengzhou victory!

Henan victory!

Zhang Li led the main force of soldiers and horses to Luoyang City, and the recovery of Luoyang is just around the corner!

Zhang Li's army is not moving, and if it moves, it is a blockbuster. A series of good news came from Henan and Tongguan, and the people of the world rejoiced.

Shi Siming of Xiazhou heard the news, muttered for two days and nights, and finally ordered to abandon Xiazhou, while returning to Fanyang quickly, and sending his eldest son Shi Chaoyi to Luoyang to negotiate with Zhang Jie. The discussion is still about surrender.

As soon as An Lushan died, Shi Enming felt that something was wrong. As soon as An Lushan died, Zhang Yi decisively sent troops to attack An Qingxu, which made Shi Siming's heart beat even more. He realized that the end of the Pham Duong rebels was coming, and in order to protect himself, the idea of surrendering resurfaced.

On the third day of March in the second year of Zhide.

Zhang Li's army was in the center, Guo Ziyi was on the left, and Gu Huaien was on the right, and the three-way army surrounded Luoyang. An Qingxu was trapped in Luoyang, and the whole army wanted to fight Zhang Mao to the death.

Shi Chaoyi led more than a dozen guards to rush outside the camp of Zhang Chai's army.

Hearing that Shi Siming's son Shi Chaoyi was here, Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile at Guo Ziyi and Gu Huaien, "Two, Shi Siming sent his eldest son Shi Chaoyi over, and what he did must be a matter of surrender." ”

Guo Ziyi frowned, hugged his fists and said, "Dashuai, Shi Siming, a villain who goes back on his word and is capricious, should not accept surrender and raise troops to punish him!" ”

Gu Huaien also nodded in agreement with Guo Ziyi's words.

Zhang Li smiled, "What kind of person Shi Siming is, Ben Shuai knows better than you." It's just that Shi Siming surrendered one by one and let him invade Fanyang and cut off the rebels' back route, which played a major role in comprehensively quelling the rebellion. Someone came to bring Shi Chaoyi in one by one! ”

Zhang Li suddenly shouted.

Shi Chaoyi entered the big tent and did not dare to slack off, so he paid a big salute. "Sin General Shi Chaoyi, meet the handsome!"

The corners of Zhang Jie's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "You get up" Chaoyi, your father sent you here to Ben Shuai, what do you want? ”

Shi Chaoyi smiled respectfully, "Handsome, my father has always had the heart to abandon the dark and turn to the light, but he has not been able to make the trip for various reasons. Today, my father's special crime will come from thousands of miles away, and this is my father's handwritten letter, please take a look! ”

Zhang Mao took Shi Siming's letter and glanced at it, and couldn't help but have a strange look between his eyebrows.

There is only one line on Shi Siming's letter, which is not reckless and conspicuous: Descend Zhang but not Tang!

Zhang Qi was silent, slowly raised his head and looked at Shi Chaoyi, and was silent for a long time.

Shi Chaoyi lowered his head a little nervously, he actually didn't know what Shi Siming wrote in the letter. Seeing Zhang Jie's expression unchanged today, he was afraid that Shi Siming would anger Zhang Bei and cause him to be unlucky.

However, Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled slightly, took a pen and wrote a line on Shi Siming's letter, and then sealed the letter back and handed it to Shi Chaoyi.

"Shi Chaoyi, go back and tell your father Shi Siming that Ben Shuai will give him another chance. If your father can take Fan Yang, after Ben Shuai destroys An Qingxu, he will lead Fan Yang's soldiers and horses to surrender, and Ben Shuai will protect his fame and wealth. If Shi Siming is still looking forward and speculating in the camp, he will be punished! ”

"There you go." Zhang Chai waved his hand.

Shi Chaoyi gave a deep salute, "Sin will obey the order, farewell to the handsome!" ”

Shi Chaoyi was frightened and left the camp, galloping away. It wasn't until he was more than 100 miles away from the boundary of Luoyang that he breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and opened Shi Siming's letter.
