Guo Chongtao repelled Xu Zhihao, and he returned to Luoyang, but after he returned to Luoyang, he saw that their emperor Li Cunmiao's face was very unsightly.

Guo Chongtao said in his heart, I won the battle, why is the emperor's face not good-looking?

As soon as Guo Chongtao asked, he knew that the battlefield on the Chang'an side was unfavorable.

Guo Chongtao said, Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will immediately lead the troops to Chang'an to help in the war.

At this time, Guo Chongtao's heart was beautiful.

Guo Chongtao said in his heart, when Li Siyuan and I divided the troops, I chose Xuzhou, which was difficult to fight, and Li Siyuan chose Chang'an, which was easy to fight. There were 200,000 enemy soldiers on the Xuzhou side, and only 100,000 enemy soldiers on the Chang'an side. Naturally, Xuzhou is more difficult to fight than Chang'an. I didn't expect that Xuzhou, which was difficult to fight on my side, was defeated, and Chang'an, which was easy to fight on Li Siyuan's side, was still in an unfavorable situation.

Two days later, Guo Chongtao led Li Cunba, Li Cunxiao and others, and went to Chang'an with tens of thousands of horses to help in the war.

*******

What is the situation on the battlefield in Chang'an?

Let's go back and talk about the battlefield in Chang'an.

This book is also called "Guo Chongtao and Li Siyuan have their own abilities".

Let's talk about Guo Chongtao, let's talk about Li Siyuan.

Before we talk about Li Siyuan, let's talk about how Chang'an was lost before Li Siyuan arrived in Chang'an.

As mentioned earlier, Xu Zhihao and Wang Yan of Xishu discussed, one of them fought Xuzhou in the east, and they fought Chang'an in the west.

After Wang Yan and Xu Zhihao discussed, he took an army of 100,000, and he took Han Tao, De Feixiong, Dai Rong, etc., and marched in the direction of Chang'an.

At this time, Wang Yan was full of confidence.

******

Before Wang Yan left, there were still some things.

Before Wang Yan left, he also invited Xiao Yingjie out.

Please Xiao Yingjie is Wang Yan personally went.

For Xiao Yingjie, I have mentioned more than once in the previous document that we once had a book called "Yingjie in Chengdu", which said that he was him.

Xiao Yingjie is also one of the top ten masters.

*******

For Xiao Yingjie this person. I'll have to talk about it.

After Xiao Yingjie made trouble in Chengdu, his relationship with the Emperor of Xishu became estranged.

There are two reasons for the estrangement between Xiao Yingjie and the Emperor of Western Shu:

First, his father King Xiaoyu was killed by the Xishu court, and he certainly has an opinion on the Xishu court, although his father's death is not directly related to the Xishu emperor, and he doesn't want to work for the Xishu emperor anymore.

Two. He once made trouble in Chengdu, and he was also worried that the Emperor of Xishu was wary of him, and he was also afraid that after he voted over, he would have a bad relationship with the Emperor of Xishu.

******

Before Wang Yan sent out the army, he wanted to invite Xiao Yingjie out.

Because Xiao Yingjie's martial arts are not good.

Because if he can invite Xiao Yingjie out, it will add a lot of strength to him.

******

Before Wang Yan invited Xiao Yingjie, Ling Yiren once persuaded Wang Yan: "Your Majesty, do you think it's good for you to invite Xiao Ying to be outstanding?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Prime Minister Ling, do you think there is anything wrong? ”

Ling Yiren said: "Xiao Yingjie's relationship with the emperor is complicated. Xiao Yingjie's father, King Xiaoyu, is ......, and he died like that, and the minister was worried that Xiao Yingjie would oppose the emperor in the future. ”

Wang Yan said: "As long as I am sincere to him, I think he will not live up to me." ”

Ling Yiren said: "Look, Xiao Yingjie is a person, please or not."

Wang Yan said: "I see, it's better to have one more person and more strength. “

Ling Yiren said, "Okay. “

********

this day. Wang Yan took some people to invite Xiao Yingjie.

Wang Yan wants to learn from Liu Bei back then, please Zhuge Liang.

After Wang Yan went, Xiao Yingjie saw that Wang Yan was very enthusiastic. Xiao Yingjie agreed to go out of the mountain.

After Wang Yan invited Xiao Yingjie out, he immediately named Xiao Yingjie as the generalissimo of the Second Route Soldiers and Horses.

Wang Yan's first generalissimo was Han Tao.

*******

Just when Wang Yan was about to leave, Xiao Yingjie also gave Wang Yan an idea, he asked Wang Yan to go to Chang'an on the one hand, and send people all the way to Tongguan on the other.

Xiao Yingjie said: "Tongguan is a place of competition between soldiers, and the geographical location of Tongguan is very important. If we take down Tongguan first, almost half of Li Tang's entire Chang'an region will fall into our hands. Because once Tongguan is taken by us, we can block Li Cunqiao's reinforcements. Now Li Tang's Chang'an doesn't have many people, and if there are no reinforcements from Li Tang, Chang'an will be taken by us sooner or later. ”

Wang Yan said: "Okay! I....... ”

Wang Yan was about to say. Okay, I will send someone to fight Tongguan, but Wang Yan was just about to say that, and he remembered something.

He remembered the first time he hit Chang'an.

As mentioned earlier.

When Wang Yan fought Chang'an for the first time, a person named Sima Zhong under Wang Yan also said that to Wang Yan.

What Sima Zhong and Wang Yan said at that time was similar to what Xiao Yingjie and Wang Yan said today.

At that time, Sima Zhong also said that if we want to take the whole of Chang'an, we should first take his Tongguan.

At that time, Wang Yan listened to Sima Zhong's words, and Wang Yan divided 50,000 horses from his 200,000 horses, and asked a man named Hu Peng to take 50,000 horses to Tongguan. It didn't turn out that much either.

As a result, he divided 50,000 out of 200,000 horses, which made his strength a little thinner, and later led to his failure to take Chang'an in one go, and finally led to Li Cunba (the Chang'an guard general at that time) to have a chance to breathe, which led to his final defeat.

At this time, Wang Yan looked at Xiao Yingjie with two eyes.

Because Wang Yan remembered what Ling Yiren had said to him before.

Ling Yiren said to Wang Yan before that Xiao Yingjie is a good person to use or not.

Wang Yanxin said: What kind of heart does Xiao Yingjie have? Last time, I divided 50,000 out of 200,000 horses, and I ended up with such a result, this time I divided 20,000 or 30,000 horses out of 100,000 horses, and I still ......?

At this time, Xiao Yingjie also saw that Wang Yan's mind was coming.

Xiao Yingjie explained to Wang Yan.

Xiao Yingjie said: "Your Majesty, this time and that time." This time is different from last time. Last time, it was our soldiers who were not good, and this time it was our soldiers. Last time, the only generals in our soldiers and horses were De Feixiong and Dai Rong, and this time there are more generals in our soldiers and horses, Han Tao and me. What about our opponent Chang'an? Our opponent Chang'an is that last time he was a soldier, but this time his soldier is not good. Our opponent Chang'an, their last time their general Li Cunba was guarding in Chang'an, this time their generals are not in Chang'an, this time their Chang'an only has a nameless rat. ”

Wang Yan nodded.

Xiao Yingjie said again: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's right to listen to the ministers." Last time, we suffered a loss on their Chang'an guard Li Cunba, and this time their Chang'an guard is a rice bucket. ”

Wang Yan nodded again.

Wang Yan decided to send some men and horses to take Tongguan first.

Wang Yan decided to send 20,000 horses to take Tongguan.

Wang Yan decided to let Xiao Yingjie lead the troops.

Wang Yan asked Xiao Yingjie to go, and Xiao Yingjie did not refuse.

Xiao Yingjie went.

******

Wang Yan wanted to fight the entire Chang'an region, on the one hand, he led people to fight Chang'an, and on the other hand, he sent Xiao Yingjie to take Tongguan. (To be continued.) )
