G, SWDJ127, and the reward of the three brothers of HJJ. ）

The people were bustling and slowly dispersed, and there were many people who were unwilling to leave who were still waiting on the side of the road, but Wang Yuan was not easy to persuade him, so he followed Wei Jiansu and others back to Qiaonan to drink. Next, Wang Yuan was happy to fly, and the officials were drinking while telling them something about the expedition, and the officials were shocked and shouted from time to time at the banquet, which was surprised by the thrilling moments that Wang Yuan experienced. Wang Yuan's eloquence is already outstanding, and at this moment, he is even more thrilling, like a storyteller, letting the officials substitute for him, as if he was there.

A drink was drunk for more than an hour. When the cups were changed in the color shed, 40,000 cavalry entered the city from the side, endlessly.

At the end of the day, the wives and concubines of the Wang family, who were dressed up and waiting in front of the house, received a report, and Wang Yuan had already arrived on the front street. The wives and concubines were busy arranging each other's already perfect outfits, and moving the hairpin jewelry on their heads again to ensure that they were inserted on the temples in the most beautiful posture. Hua Tian also re-examined, and her standing posture was more elegant, waiting for Wang Yuan to appear.

And all of this became meaningless after seeing Wang Yuan's galloping figure, because as soon as they saw Wang Yuan's galloping figure, the wives and concubines had already abandoned all reserve and elegance. Li Xin'er was the first to rush up with a long skirt, Gao Moyan followed, and then Princess Aluo Ziyun'er and Huang Ying also ran out. Steady and quiet like Gongsun Lan Qingyun'er Lan Xinhui The three daughters tried their best to remain reserved, but their eyes were also shining and emotional.

……

Wang Yuan returned to Chengdu and did not mention the reunion with his family for the time being. Time goes back to half a month ago, just as Wang Yuan led the army to board the ship and sail westward on the river, An Qingxu's corpse and Wang Yuan's report of victory were sent to Chang'an City.

The first to receive the report was Li Guangbi, who had just rushed back to Chang'an from Youzhou to preside over the overall situation. During the month that the Shence army went south, Li Guangbi saw the needle and led 50,000 Hui cavalry to take over Luoyang City captured by Wang Yuan, and led the army to the north and quickly recovered Taiyuan, Youzhou, Pinglu and other places.

The rebels defended these places with very few men and horses, and as they had captured them, they lost them as quickly as they had gained them. When Li Guangbi led a large army to storm all the way, they fled and did not dare to resist the slightest. Let Li Guangbi attack the An's old nest, Youzhou City and Pinglu.

During the reconquest, one of the fiercest battles took place in Xiongwu City, north of Youzhou. This city was built by An Lushan himself, although the city is small, but the defense is strong, and there are nearly 5,000 Xi elite soldiers and horses. The reason why Xiongwu City did not flee in a desperate battle was only understood by everyone after 16,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded and took five days to capture Xiongwu City. When the city of Xiongwu was broken, Li Guangbi saw a warehouse full of armor, materials, grain, grass and weapons in the city. This is the place where a large amount of supplies prepared by An Lushan for many years for the rebellion gathered. Unfortunately, less than half of these supplies were consumed, and his rebellion had already ceased.

found so many materials, but Li Guangbi was not happy at all. On the contrary, he was happy to lead the army to follow him to recapture the lost territory, and the leading general of the Hui soldiers and horses, Qi Zhanali. According to the agreement with the Hui people, all the spoils of this battle will be returned to the Hui soldiers and horses, and Qi Zhanali almost laughed when he saw the piles of materials, money and food.

Not to mention the depression in Li Guangbi's heart, he watched as Qizanali took these materials for himself, and loaded truckloads and transported them to the Uighur tribe outside the northern border, but he couldn't do anything about it. Li Guangbi couldn't help but complain in his heart about the condition that Li Mao had agreed to. These materials, armor, blades and money and food are also things that the Tang Dynasty needs very much now, after the counterinsurgency, the world may not be peaceful, Li Guangbi knows that there is still a need to expand the soldiers and horses, which requires countless money, food and materials. But now I can only watch the Hui people loot these materials, and after only a few words, they were forced back by Qizanali, and there is no room for negotiation.

Li Guangbi didn't want to stay in Xiongwu City anymore to be angry, out of sight and out of mind, the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing he could do. Regret is absolutely impossible, not to mention that the Hui people did a great favor this time, and the 100,000 Hui cavalry were killed and wounded, and the cost was also a lot. Moreover, in the current situation, it is not appropriate to fall out with the Hui people, because it is necessary to borrow the power of the Hui people in the future. At present, he has less than 80,000 troops in his hands, and that is only so many after most of the rebels who have surrendered. These 80,000 soldiers and horses are really pitiful, so patience is required.

Li Guangbi left a few generals to continue to clean up and absorb the city, and ordered Qi Zhanali to lead 30,000 Hui cavalry north to exterminate the Xi people who coordinated the rebellion. Qizanali readily agreed. It's not that he's short of people, but the Xi people have always been the tribe they want to exterminate. Before, because the Xi people were attached to the Tang Dynasty, they couldn't do it, but now with Li Guangbi's permission, of course, they can be exterminated unscrupulously. After conquering them, it is naturally impossible for the cattle and sheep of their territory to be returned to the Tang Dynasty, and they are all returned to the Su people.

In fact, Li Guangbi's mood is not so bad, since the capture of Chang'an, everything can be said to be smooth. was worried that Wang Yuan's Shence army would compete with him for credit, but Wang Yuan actually gave up going north to regain lost territory and chose to go south to pursue the rebels, so the credit for recovering a large area of lost land in the north fell into his hands in vain. Because of this, Li Guangbi's reputation is now growing, and the people cheer and greet him everywhere he goes, and the officials are respectful, and it is obvious that everyone knows that he is actually an important figure in the new court of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Guangbi was not carried away by these facts, he knew, understood that everyone knew that Wang Yuan was the Dinghai Divine Needle. This counterinsurgency is just a loophole of my own luck. And his reputation and merits are still a little shorter in front of Wang Yuan. This is also where Li Guangbi is not convinced. I don't know how much earlier I debuted than Wang Yuan, but I was covered up by Wang Yuan's rapid rise. Over the years, this Wang Yuan has been extremely lucky, and he has not lost a single defeat in a hundred battles, which has also made everyone recognize his merits. And he has suffered a series of fiascos. Especially in the battle with Tubo and the battle of Tongguan, he lost a lot of points, so that it seemed that it would never be possible to look at Wang Yuan's back.

But Li Guangbi is not a self-contemptuous person. He knew that his advantage was still huge compared to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan does have the ability, but he is not as decisive and straightforward as himself, and he is so good at judging the situation. Pushing Li Mao to the throne is his most proud hand, and Wang Yuan has such a good situation, but he can't even promote a Feng king as the crown prince, which is Wang Yuan's biggest weakness. This person is too kind to a woman at some times, so judging from the current situation, his advantage is much greater than Wang Yuan's. Behind him stood the new emperor Li Mao, but Wang Yuan had a bad relationship with the emperor and the new emperor, which doomed Wang Yuan to be surpassed by himself and left far behind him.

After returning to the capital, Li Guangbi restored the Chang'an Political Hall with Li Mao's approval. Although he didn't dare to call himself Xiangguo, he was only temporarily in charge of government affairs as a Zhongshu Pingzhang, but in fact, he was already the actual Xiangguo. Officials who had come to the new emperor from all over the country gathered here to greet Li Guangbi with a warm greeting and farewell, and Li Guangbi enjoyed the honor of being above 10,000 people under one person, which was exactly what he had dreamed of for many years. But even so, Wang Yuan was still like a thorn in his heart, and Li Guangbi, who was pierced, was in pain.

The news that Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses annihilated the rebels under the city of Chuzhou actually reached the capital very early. Li Mao and Li Guangbi have been waiting for Wang Yuan's performance. It wasn't until the fifth day after the news arrived in the capital, that is, twelve days after the final battle in Chuzhou, that Wang Yuan's twist and turn and An Qingxu's corpse were belated. In any case, it still came, and the moment he got Wang Yuan's fold, Li Guangbi felt that the thin fold in his hand seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds. Although the fold was sent to the political hall first, Li Guangbi thought about it and decided not to open the seal for the time being, and went into the palace to see Li Mao with the fold.

……

After Li Mao entered Chang'an, he has been living in the imperial city of Taiji Palace. He didn't like Daming Palace, although it was more magnificent than the imperial city, and the palace was more brilliant and beautiful, but there was too much blood flowed there. After Gaozong, in the dynasty of Emperor Wu, I don't know how many royal descendants surnamed Li died there, Li Mao would rather stay in the Sui Palace built by the previous dynasty than go to the Daming Palace to govern and live. Xingqing Palace is not a suitable place. That was where his father lived before, although the scenery of Xingqing Palace was beautiful, but when Li Mao thought of places like the Agarwood Pavilion in Baihuayuan, he remembered that the woman he once loved was in these places and flew with his father, which was the most painful scar in his heart. If it weren't for the fear of attracting criticism, he would even want to order the Xingqing Palace to be demolished, so that this place would disappear forever in the capital.
