The crown prince Li Heng read out the holy decree at the moment: the imperial court spoke highly of the victory of the Shuofang army in Youyucheng, saying that this was the first major victory of the Tang Dynasty since the Anshi Rebellion, which greatly boosted the confidence and determination of the Tang army and people to suppress the rebellion, and broke the myth that An Lushan was undefeated since the start of the army.

The imperial court decided to seal Guo Ziyi as Shangshuling.

Li Guangbi was the envoy of the Hedong Festival, and he held the Hedong Festival on the same day and led the troops to resist the enemy.

For Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou, who were the first to make contributions, the imperial court agreed to Guo Ziyi's performance, and was awarded according to his appearance, and ordered Guo Ziyi to take the two with him when he returned to Beijing to report on his work.

The Emperor will receive him personally!

Hearing the latter two sentences, Guo Ziyi was finally relieved!

Sure enough, I heard Li Heng say loudly: "Guo Dashuai, these two people violated military law and should be beheaded for their crimes." However, Your Majesty has an order, you must take the two of them with you when you return to Beijing, Your Majesty will summon them, if you are beheaded like this, I am afraid that you will fall into the crime of defrauding the king! ”

"How, how is this good?" Guo Ziyi asked pretending to be frightened.

Li Heng said with a smile: "Dashuai, although these two people committed a capital crime, but their military exploits are great, and they are rare young generals, this crime of killing and surrendering is said to be big and big, and small is also small. ”

"The two little generals are also caused by righteous indignation, in the humble opinion of this palace, it is better to put the two of them for the death penalty for the time being, and wait for your majesty to return to Beijing in the future, and then deal with them according to the law?"

"Obey the Prince's orders!"

"Hahahaha," Li Heng and Qi Tingyao looked at Guo Ziyi and laughed, couldn't they still see that Guo Ziyi had the heart to protect these two.

Guo Ziyi's face turned red and laughed.

"Call them over!" Guo Ziyi asked his entourage to pass on Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou.

The two of them moved their muscles and bones, and walked over to bow down to Li Heng, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Hmm," Li Heng nodded, and looked at the two of them seriously.

"Two little generals, please get up! I've traveled all the way, but I've heard that Shuofang is a double master! Brave Li Siye, ghost Chen Wenzhou, lead a thousand people and horses out of the ghost, annihilated more than 9,000 enemies, although the god of war is nothing more than that! I have a young man like you in Datang, why can't I be ZTE? ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou replied.

"Prince, I have sent someone to prepare your trip, and the banquet has also been prepared, the prince has been tired all the way, why don't you have lunch first?" Guo Ziyi said.

"The marshal is busy with affairs, and he personally makes arrangements, and the palace is ashamed of it, just according to the marshal's will," Li Heng said politely.

Then he looked at Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou, "Why don't you let the two little generals go too?" I saw that they were frightened just now, and by the way, I suppressed the shock on the two of them, hahaha. ”

Chen Wenzhou and Li Siye rubbed their hands together and looked at Guo Ziyi with low eyebrows.

Guo Ziyi snorted with a straight face: "You two bastards, don't hurry up and thank the prince!" ”

"Hehe, Prince Xie! Thank you, Prince! ”

The back hall of the Marshal's Palace.

Li Heng sat on the main seat, accompanied by Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Siye, and Chen Wenzhou.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, among the horses, the conditions are really simple, and where the hospitality is not considerate, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a lot of Haihan," Guo Ziyi said with a smile.

Li Heng waved his hand and said, "The handsome man is serious. At the time of the conquest, the imperial court should have been frugal. The soldiers in front of us have overcome all obstacles, and they are still not well fed and clothed, how can we ask too much? ”

Chen Wenzhou smiled, lowered his head and muttered: "This is tight in front and tight in the rear!" ”

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi glared at Chen Wenzhou at the same time.

"Hahaha," Li Heng laughed out loud, and then his expression turned serious, "Although Wen Zhou's words are not to be heard, they are the truth. ”

He sighed and said, "The rebel general Shi Siming led 80,000 horses to force Tongguan City, the situation is precarious, if Tongguan is broken, then Jingshi Chang'an will lose the last barrier, there is no danger to defend, and the consequences are unimaginable." However, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong lied to his father all day long about how smoothly the great cause of counterinsurgency was and how gratifying the situation was. The Palace of Eternal Life is still singing every night, alas! ”

Guo Ziyi and the others stopped talking, and the war was tight, but the emperor was still drunk on wine, which they all knew.

But he couldn't say this, Li Heng was the emperor's son, so he couldn't say bad things about him in front of his son.

What's more, this Lao Tzu is still the number one Lao Tzu in the world.

Li Heng continued: "Last month, my father listened to the slander of the inner chamberlain Bian Lingcheng, and beheaded Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing on the charge of slacking off the war, and now he has sent Ge Shuhan to guard Tongguan, the situation is dangerous! ”

Guo Ziyi comforted Li Heng and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, Ge Shuhan is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he has the essence of using soldiers, so he can naturally analyze the current situation. ”

"As long as we hold Tongguan City and stabilize the situation, I will lead the Shuofang army east out of Hebei, and Guangbi will lead the Hedong army out of Taiyuan, and our two soldiers and horses will join forces in Hebei, and we will be able to capture An Lushan's old nest Fanyang in one fell swoop, and An Lushan will definitely return to the division to rescue, and the siege of Tongguan will be relieved!"

Li Heng nodded and shook his head again.

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi frowned at the same time, not understanding what Li Heng meant.

I heard Li Heng say: "Ge Shuhan, I'm not worried, he is a famous general of my dynasty, although he is seriously ill, but his mind is very clear. I heard that after he arrived at Tongguan, he strengthened the city wall, dug trenches, and strengthened defenses, and the rebels launched several sieges in succession, but they were all defeated by the defenders of Tongguan. ”

"Who is the prince?" Li Guangbi asked.

Li Heng said worriedly: "I'm worried about the imperial court. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Guangbi asked.

"First, my father is the son of peace for decades, and his martial arts can be described as a powerful world, creating an unprecedented Tang Dynasty! An Lushan rebelled, invincible, like a bamboo, within two months, it had already hit Tongguan City, called the emperor system! This is undoubtedly a big blow to my father's self-esteem, so my father is eager to win to regain his self-esteem! ”

"Second, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan have always been at odds, and An Lushan is also rebelling under the banner of the Qing monarch, so Yang Guozhong is worried that his father will kill him, so as to block the mouth of An Lushan and make An Lushan's teacher unknown. Therefore, Yang Guozhong must make a statement to his father and the emperor to fight quickly in order to protect himself. For these two reasons, I am afraid that my father will force Ge Shuhan to fight! Li Heng analyzed worriedly.

"Actually, this time I came to deliver the decree, and if it doesn't sound good, I'm here to supervise the war!" Li Heng looked at Guo Ziyi and said, "But I will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, Saibei is not better than Tongguan is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the marshal can dispose of it at his own discretion, and I will take care of the affairs of the court!" ”

Guo Ziyi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is heartfelt, and the minister is grateful!" ”

Guo Ziyi is old and refined, why don't you understand what Li Heng means by this?

This is the crown prince Li Heng warning him, and at the same time showing goodwill.
