In front of the Tangyin County Party in the early morning, at this moment, it was three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and every sergeant was straight and excited, which was very different from when the morale was low a few days ago. From time to time, a lieutenant general rode his horse at a gallop, and after hurriedly dismounting in front of the door, he whispered a few words to each other and then walked inside. Like the sergeants, they were all surprised, bright, and occasionally could even hear irrepressible laughter. When more than 100 people gathered in front of the main hall of the county party one after another, they did not distinguish between the Shuofang Anbei and Hedong Army, and all the people they knew gathered together.

For now their backbone has returned!

Soon there were three cloud board sounds, and everyone outside immediately quieted down, and each lined up according to their belongings, and for a while, three neat phalanxes appeared in the huge courtyard, and the military ranks entered the lobby from high to low. Although it was already dawn, there was still some difference in light between the interior and exterior, and the people who came in first squinted their eyes to get used to it, and then they saw the four people in the lobby. Among them, Cheng Qianli still had bandages on his arms, and there was a deep scar on his face and jaw, the whole person was slightly tired, Fugu Huaien was relaxed, and Guo Ziyi smiled slightly.

And the person sitting in the center of the main hall is Du Shiyi, and no one will admit his mistake!

The feeling of being focused by many eyes is already familiar to Du Shiyi. He can easily distinguish between the concerns, surprises, consultations, reliefs, and indescribable circumstances. He bowed slightly, and then said: "I've heard a lot of rumors, and now you should rest assured when you see me sitting here in a good manner, right?" ”

Just received the order to rush over, but at this moment, Du Shiyi did not reprimand the previous defeat with a straight face, but started to gossip so often, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly eased a lot. Especially Shuo Fang and the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei have followed this coach for many years, and those generals who know his temperament well are used to such a way of speaking. Even the people in the Hedong Army, who always felt that they couldn't raise their heads after losing the battle, felt relieved at this moment.

"Everyone is here, let's go to the court." Guo Ziyi just started, but found that Du Shiyi waved his hand to him, and then stood up.

"When I set off from Chang'an this time, I have been appointed as the marshal to lead the three armies of Shuofang, Hedong and Anbei, and I think I have also led the envoys of the three towns, so I can pat my chest here and say, you don't have to worry about me favoring one over the other." Du Shiyi saw that the hall was suddenly in an uproar, and most of them were cheers of surprise, so he raised his hands and pressed them, and then said in a deep voice, "The defeat of Yejun before was the rash advance of the enemy, and after that, the army was unstable, and it was a rumor of the rebels, but the root cause is that the three armies of Shuofang, Hedong, and Anbei are still working separately. Now that I have been appointed as a marshal, my first priority is to unite the three armies. ”

Although the generals in the hall had not yet paid their respects to the marshal, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Du Shiyi's words, even Guo Ziyi, Fugu Huaien and Cheng Qianli, who also had just learned the news.

"The so-called integration of the three armies does not mean that you really do not distinguish each other, nor does it mean that I want to directly intervene in how you march and deploy your formations and how to respond to the battlefield situation. The polemic array rushes to kill, I am invincible, and I can't ask myself about Wynne; In terms of the steady use of troops, the enemy is immovable at present, and I am inferior to Ziyi; In terms of courage and courage, I am also inferior to thousands of miles. But in my years, Du Shiyi has successively passed Shuofang Hedong and Anbei, and everyone is a famous general, why is this? Without him, know people well, understand the overall situation, reward meritorious deeds, and have no partiality! ”

Du Shiyi's words were suppressed first and then raised, and everyone not only felt biased when they heard it, but most of them nodded frequently. Even Cheng Qianli, who had just suffered a big defeat before, felt ironed in his heart, and was extremely grateful to Du Shiyi for weakening his defeat at such a time, but instead promoting his courage and courage. As for Guo Ziyi and Fugu Huaien, who were also praised, they were even more comfortable.

"Although I have just arrived in Hebei, I have also heard about some war situations, although the three armies were jointly attacking Yejun, but either the three armies rotated, or one army assaulted, even if they planned to raid Yexian and Fuyang, but after all, because they were angry, they naturally couldn't talk to each other about listening to anyone, and everything had to be compromised and prevaricated, and all precious time was wasted. Have you ever thought that in this war, from Hebei to Heluo, I don't know how many fields have been abandoned, and I don't know how many people have been killed and wounded, and how many grains can be there when the autumn harvest arrives this year? And now if we continue to consume here, it is not a question of how many people will die in battle, but how many people will starve to death in the future! ”

Du Shiyi raised her voice suddenly, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "So, the first thing I want to say today is to prohibit it. If you violate the military order, regardless of the grade, you will be killed! ”

As Guo Ziyi and Fugu Huaien stood up one after another, Cheng Qianli also hurriedly got up to respond, and the generals under the rank were awe-inspiring to receive the order.

"The second thing, my arrival in Jijun, is to be publicized in a big way. Since the rebels dare to publicize the news that I died in Chang'an, perhaps many people in their army have such expectations, so that they can sweep away their morale. By the way, with the way of others, you will immediately preach one thing to Ye County, saying that An Lushan is dead! ”

An Lushan is dead!

There was a deathly silence in the lobby at first, and after a long time, Gu Huaien, the closest servant to Du Shiyi, asked hesitantly: "Dashuai, is this matter serious?" ”

"Among the rebels, there have long been people who have different aspirations, and this news is definitely true. You can rest assured, An Lushan will not cheat corpses like me, and those who are already dead will not come back alive! ”

At this time, the generals broke out into laughter. No one questioned An Lushan's death, and everyone thought that since Du Shiyi could say so, there must be no doubt about this matter. I have been aggrieved for so long, suppressed for so long, and now I hear that the traitor An Lushan, who single-handedly set off a rebellion, swept Hebei Province and Henan Province, and finally proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, is dead, it is like a torrential rain pouring for many days but suddenly revealing the sun, which is enough to teach everyone to be excited.

Du Shiyi announced several more military disciplines, including not harassing civilians, and then sat down with a smile. At this time, Guo Ziyi and Fu Gu Huai Encheng Qianli led their generals to participate in the official court and saluted to meet the marshal. Previously, although Du Shiyi actually controlled the soldiers and horses of these three towns, he did not have an official name, and relied on his prestige for many years. This time, he went back to Beijing and experienced a thrilling trip, but he came to Hebei in the name of recruiting the marshal, and he was really justified, and the morale of the army was naturally different from before. After receiving the ceremony, he did not leave many more generals, only Guo Ziyi and the three of them came down.

"Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe have any whereabouts?"

For these three rebel generals who first entered the customs to encircle Chang'an, and then were left to defend Luoyang, and broke through and fled before the city was broken, Du Shiyi naturally attached great importance to it. But what disappointed him was that whether it was Guo Ziyi, Fugu Huaien, or Cheng Qianli, who rushed to Xinxiang first, they all shook their heads on this question.

Fugu Huaien even added: "Except for the fact that the face is too damaged to be recognized, all the corpses of the rebels have been identified, and these three people are not visible." Perhaps, they fled to Ye County, or they returned to Youzhou from the trails from all over Hebei, but of course it is more likely that they were already dead on the way to escape, but their bodies are unrecognizable. After all, among the rebels, there are also many mountains, Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen and Sun Xiaozhe were deeply favored by An Lushan in the past, if An Lushan died, their descendants and soldiers and horses had all been exhausted, even if they were willing to submit to others, they would lose their value. ”

Hearing Fugu Huai'en analyze this matter from the perspective of the law of the jungle, Du Shiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, in addition to publicizing the news that An Lushan is dead, give me another publicity." If Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe come to surrender, I can ensure that they don't die. ”

Guo Ziyi was just stunned for a moment, but Cheng Qianli couldn't help but exclaim: "Du Dashuai...... No, Marshal, there's something wrong with that, isn't it? Cui Qianyou and the other three didn't know how many officers and soldiers they had killed, and they besieged Chang'an, forcing His Majesty to flee west to Ma Weiyi for a time, from His Majesty to the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an, I am afraid they all hate them to the bone! ”

"The rebels are now in the four counties of Yejun, Fanyang, Changshan, and Yuyang in Hebei, and are in a stalemate with our army on all sides. Although Guanzhong Heluo has been completely pacified, and my Datang can still have a steady stream of soldiers and horses, the distribution of troops in Hebei is extremely uneven, and there is a danger of being broken by each at every turn. At this time, it is better to let the rebels fight their own positions, and it is better to force them to push them over. If Cui Qianyou and the three of them come to surrender, if I use it as appropriate, it is also a gesture for the rebels, which can make them no longer fight to the death. As for His Majesty and the pressure on the DPRK, I will carry it! ”

Xue Song, who had been standing behind Du Shiyi as a personal guard, couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this. If Du Shiyi and his troops besieged Chang'an's Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe could also promise to pardon him immortally, there would definitely be a split within the rebels! As for the pressure of Chang'an, for Du Shiyi, who had made such a big incident in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion before this departure, where would he take it to heart?

Seeing that Cheng Qianli was speechless, Guo Ziyi and Fugu Huaien nodded directly in approval of this matter, and Du Shiyi looked back at Xue Song and said, "Xue Song, since you descended, I have never given you any tasks. Isn't your brother Xue Wei still among the rebels? I'll give you a team of thirty men, and you might as well find out his whereabouts yourself. In addition to him, how many rebels can you pull to defect, I will count you as much credit! ”

Xue Song didn't expect Du Shiyi to give himself such a task with his backhand, his face turned white at first, and then his face turned happy, and he didn't even pay attention to the gazes of the three generals below. Knowing that this was his only chance, he immediately walked around to the front and gave a quick turn. As soon as he left, Du Shiyi explained the origin of this person in a few words, and called Li Huaiyu over.

Compared with Xue Song, Li Huaiyu's foundation is in Pinglu, and his qualifications in the army are still shallow, no matter what he thinks, he also feels that Du Shiyi will not let himself recruit rebels. But Rao is like this, when Du Shiyi said those words, he was still stunned, and almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

"When you were in Chang'an, you discussed with Xue Song about the plan to break the enemy, tell it and everyone listen."
