Chapter 718: Coming to defeat Sui Yangpo

Li Bai's misery lies in the fact that he has been running all his life and has not gotten the ideal official position he wants, this is the sadness of a poet like him, he feels a little unsatisfactory and places his affection on poetry, the imperial court is not without the imperial examination so that students have a way out, but Li Bai disdains to take the imperial examination, he thinks that with his talent, the way to become an official should be different, he wants to be like Zhuge Liang by the emperor and the princes, regard him as an indispensable strategist, rely on him, and reuse him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is also the reason why King Yong hired him several times, and he only squirmed and agreed.

If the official is small, he doesn't do it, he doesn't do the work of serving people, he doesn't do the work that he feels is doing or being wronged, and he bends his waist to do the powerful? To hell, this is Li Bai! Li Bai is clear, his heart is very high, it should not be an exaggeration to describe him in one sentence: his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper!

Rescuing Li Bai is just a matter of moving his mouth for Zhao Ziliang, since Du Fu opened this mouth, Zhao Ziliang feels that there is no need to worry too much, it is just a gesture, and with Li Bai's situation, it can be determined that it is an attempt to commit a crime, if it is really true, he must be guilty, but this situation can also be opened, turn a blind eye, and do not violate the bottom line of principles.

Zhao Ziliang walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, wrote it in a good envelope, handed it to Du Fu and said: "You send someone to send this letter to Lai Yao, he is now in Jiangdong, and his words work!" He will ask Li Qinglian to assist in the investigation and take people away on the grounds that he knows the relevant military information. In this way, it will be difficult for the local government and the relevant yamen of the imperial court to inquire about it anymore, and I will send someone to the relevant yamen of the imperial court to transfer his case file, and I will send someone to send someone over! As long as the people and the files are here, he'll be fine."

Du Fu was overjoyed, took the letter and hurriedly said: "I thank you for Li Qinglian!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "Thank you when you send it over!" ”

On March 22, Zhao Ting led the army to cross the river and arrive at Shaanxi County to join the main force, and Bai Xiaode led 5,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard to advance all the way to the east and force Luoyang. Yalu small town is looking at the wind and falling, after arriving at Michi, the officials and soldiers in the city will tear down the flag of the Yan army, hang the banner of the Tang Dynasty, open the city gate to welcome Wang Shi into the city, the officials also prepared a large amount of food and wine and meat to reward the army.

On the afternoon of 22 March, Bai Xiaode sent people back to Shaanxi County to report the latest movements of the rebels.

"Marshal, General Bai ordered me to report to the marshal, Tian Chengsi was injured and fled east with more than 1,000 cavalry, until Xin'an did not stop, from October last year, the rebels in order to strengthen the defense around Luoyang, recruited a large number of people around the site of the original Hangu Pass east of Xin'an to rebuild the Hangu Pass, although the construction time is not long, but because the collection of people is enough, so the new Hangu Pass is built tall and strong, want to attack and break the pass head-on, I am afraid that it is extremely difficult! Now Tian Chengsi is in Hangu Pass! ”

Hangu Pass from the time of calculation, there have been two, one is the Qin Dynasty period of Hangu Pass, located in the north of Lingbao Wangduo Village, the other is the Eastern Han Dynasty is located in the east of Xin'an Hangu Pass. Because of the establishment of Tongguan, the role of Hangu Pass was gone, so it was later abandoned.

Zhao Ziliang knew about the rebels' rebuilding of Hangu Pass, which was also a reason why he slowed down the pace of the offensive, and now a large number of logistics and siege equipment are still on the way from Tongguan to Shaanxi County, and now the army will not be able to attack the city even if it arrives at Hangu Pass in Xin'an.

After Zhao Ziliang listened to the report sent by Bai Xiaode, he asked him to rest first, and Zhao Ziliang ordered to summon the generals to come to discuss, through discussion, Zhao Ziliang decided to consolidate the territory that had been taken first, and sent a small number of soldiers and horses to clean up the surrounding small towns and towns, and at the same time sent people to contact Lu Jiong and Wang Sili and others in the south.

······

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

After the news of Tian Chengsi and Neng Yuanhao's fiasco in Shaanxi County reached Luoyang, the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Yan State fluctuated, and An Qingxu immediately convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

An Qingxu said to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "A few days ago, Bi Sichen rebelled in Fangcheng, not only killed Li Guiren and others, but also defeated and surrendered my nearly 100,000 troops, Tian Qianzhen also fled back in embarrassment, there are few soldiers and horses left, the situation in the south is bad, and now Lu Jiong and Wang Sili have not killed from the south because he has just swallowed my nearly 100,000 army and is digesting, I am afraid that when they digest the 100,000 army, they will definitely wave their army north." Now, Tian Chengsi and Neng Yuanhao were defeated by Zhao Ziliang again, Neng Yuanhao was captured, Tian Chengsi was wounded by an arrow, and is currently stationed in Hangu Pass, and there is no news about Cui Qianyou's department in Anyi, there is military intelligence that the Tang army has captured Pinglu, Cui Qianyou is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious, the situation can be said to be extremely bad for my Dayan country, I don't know what good strategy you have to deal with this situation? ”

Yan Zhuang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that now we should send heavy troops to garrison Hanguguan and Ruzhou, transfer a large number of materials to defend the city, and at the same time remove Tian Chenghei. This Tian Chengsi and Zhao Ziliang have a teacher-student relationship, who knows if his fiasco this time was deliberate? In addition, Weichen suggested preparing to evacuate Luoyang and move the capital to Xiangzhou! ”

Gao Shang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with what Lord Yan said to be ready to move the capital to Xiangzhou, but he does not agree with the removal of Tian Chenghei, now there are not many generals available in our dynasty, General Tian has made outstanding achievements and made great achievements, and being defeated by Zhao Ziliang is only temporary, and now only Tian Chengsi and Zhao Ziliang have fought head-on, only he has experience, and it is the best choice to leave him to garrison Hangu Pass!" Your Majesty, it is a big taboo to change the battle on the spot! ”

Gao Shang and Yan Zhuang are both prime ministers, each with their own team, after these two people came out to speak, their team ministers all stood up to support, the two sides said that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and they do not give in to each other.

An Qingxu is not the son of a family, he also followed An Lushan all the way out, and he has some understanding of military affairs, knowing that at this time, the generals of the court are only afraid that only Tian Chengsi understands Zhao Ziliang's tactics.

After careful consideration, An Qingxu decided to leave Tian Chengsi to guard in Hanguguan, and at the same time sent An Shouzhong and Tian Qianzhen to guard Ruzhou, Ruzhou is the southern gate of Luoyang, if Ruzhou is broken by Lu Jiong and Wang Sili, Luoyang will be in danger, and at the same time he also ordered Yin Ziqi to storm Suiyang and contact the threat from the east, now Yin Ziqi has 300,000 troops in his hands, and there are less than 30,000 in Suiyang City, and it is not a lot of pressure for Yin Ziqi to storm Suiyang with ten times the force.

Suiyang City is facing an unprecedented crisis, Suiyang City is not big, how can it withstand the siege of 300,000 troops day and night?

After Yin Ziqi received An Qingxu's order, he waved his troops to attack Suiyang for more than half a month, the defenders in Suiyang City suffered huge casualties, the grain and grass were almost cut off, the defenders were sharply reduced from 30,000 to less than 10,000, Wu King Li Yuan had almost no confidence and willpower to resist, Helan Jinming, Xu Yuan and others were also mourning and examining, this battle was fought to this point, the casualties exceeded two-thirds, and the morale of the Tang soldiers in the city had dropped to the extreme, and it could collapse at any time.

At this time, Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun and others played a huge role, taking advantage of the Yan army's siege to suddenly open the city gate, dispatched the only 2,000 cavalry in the city, and unexpectedly destroyed all the siege wells, catapults, ballistae and other heavy siege weapons of the Yan army outside the city, and also killed and injured a large number of Yan troops, the Yan army was defeated under the surprise attack, the siege was eased, and Yin Ziqi had to retreat for thirty miles.

In view of the crisis situation in Suiyang City, Lai Yao, who got the news, immediately led Ma Shouye, Wei Wei and others to the north to reinforce them, and the three roads joined forces, with a total of more than 30,000 people.

Yin Ziqi soon got the news, and immediately left Li Huaixian, Yang Zongwang, Ling Huchao and others to lead troops to continue to besiege Suiyang, and he himself led 100,000 elite soldiers south to meet the Lai Yao army.

Yin Ziqi set up an ambush in the middle between the Cai River and the Bao River to wait for work. When Laiyao, Ma Shouye and Wei Wei and others arrived with their troops, they found that it was abnormal, and wanted to lead the troops to retreat, but the time was a little late, Yin Ziqi personally led the cavalry to rush out, the Tang army's military order was not unified, the generals did their own thing, the soldiers were in chaos, Yin Ziqi's army could not resist when they rushed up, and they were defeated, Laiyao, Ma Shouye and Wei Wei and others fled all the way to Linhuai to stabilize their positions, and counted the army only to find that the 30,000 army had passed, When I returned, it was less than 10,000.

On the one hand, Lai Yao ordered the soldiers to strengthen their strength, and on the other hand, they wrote to the imperial court and Zhao Ziliang to report the defeat process and ask for punishment.

When Yin Ziqi was fighting with the army of Lai, there was a great change in Suiyang City, some generals led by Wu King Li Yuan decided to break out of the siege and retreat in the direction of Pengcheng, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others thought that they should stick to the help, and they could not lose an inch of land until they had to do so, but Wu King Li Yuan and some of his generals had made up their minds, regardless of the opposition of Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan and others, and took the three predecessors to break through to the east, and at the same time broke through Helan Jinming.

Li Huaixian, Yang Zongwang and Ling Huchao, the generals of the Yan Army who stayed outside Suiyang City, did not expect that the Tang Army would dare to break through at this time, you must know that there are more than 100,000 troops outside the city, and these soldiers and horses are not paper-based, but Li Huaixian and others were defenseless, and they were successfully broken through by Li Yuan, Helan Jinming and others, although they lost most of the people, but Li Yuan and Helan Jinming, these main personnel successfully broke through, and there were hundreds of personal soldiers who successfully broke through with them.

There were originally less than 10,000 people in Suiyang City, and Li Yuanhao Helan took more than 3,000 people with him when he broke through the siege, and at this time Suiyang City was already less than 6,000 defenders, and they were all hungry and thin, and their morale was low.

In the blink of an eye, on April 18, Yin Ziqi defeated the army of Laiyao and returned to Suiyang, and continued to wave his troops to attack Suiyang City, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others worked hard to support, and the corpses piled up on the city wall did not have time to deal with it.

After another five days of onslaught, Suiyang City finally couldn't hold on, the eastern city wall was all captured by the Yan army, the city gate was opened, a large number of Yan troops poured into the city, and Suiyang fell!

Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, Xu Yuan and other major figures were all captured.
