Chapter 1179 - Overwhelming
Between Mianchi and Xin'an, there is a lack of door mountain, the mountain has two peaks, the valley in the middle is sandwiched with valley water, the folk often call the two peaks here the green dragon and the phoenix, and the top of the phoenix mountain, it is said that there is the phoenix city built by the famous general Bai Qi in the Qin period. After the year before last, the ruins of that year only left the ruins of the broken wall, and because this is the west gate of Luoyang, from here to Luoyang, can come from the morning and evening, so there has always been a city guard, but the reserve is only a pitiful hundreds.
During the Chengping period, these soldiers knocked on the bamboo poles of the merchants on the road, and naturally collapsed in front of the rebels. Previously, Cui Qianyou had defeated Wang Sili's horse army after capturing this pass, and volleyed from east to west, so that Ge Shuhan's 80,000 army was almost wiped out. And he himself later retreated from Chang'an, and he didn't even care about Tongguan, and when the wolf bรจi fled back to Luoyang, he didn't forget to gather the soldiers and horses and put them in the city of Guanmen in order to defend it. After An Lushan ascended the throne, he knew the importance of the lack of natural danger, so he handed over this place to Li Guiren.
However, the news of Hebei's instability has also reached here, and the city has not been designed to accommodate an army of as many as 3,000 people, and the miserable rebels have gradually fled, and the military spirit is even more impetuous. Even after An Lushan became emperor, he once sent someone to canonize the lord Li Guiren as the king of Beiping and gave him a high-ranking official Houlu, this situation has not changed.
After Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi rectified their troops and horses in Tongguan, they first recovered Shaanxi County, which had no natural dangers, and then divided their troops into two routes to march from the north and south roads of Kunshan Mountain. Du Shiyi knew that Fugu Huaien was a fierce general who was good at tackling tough problems, so he didn't want to take it as a pioneer, and drove straight all the way, even down the gorge stone and the pond, and then went straight to the missing door. When Fugu Huai'en rode his horse to stop where Wang Sili had also stayed, looking up at the faintly visible Phoenix City on Phoenix Mountain, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then shook his head thoughtfully.
"Bai Qi fought for Great Qin all his life, and he didn't know how many meritorious deeds he made, but in the end he died in vain at the hands of Fan Ju, in the final analysis, it was just a high achievement! The world is reincarnated, and until now, this situation is still the same. โ
If there are more than 5,000 vanguard troops in the army, they will definitely turn their faces immediately, but most of these are the elite of the Fugu tribesmen, who have followed Fugu Huaien for more than ten years, not only is no one dissuaded and opposed, but many people follow suit. Just when these people were talking about Li Longji's bias towards Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, and indulging An Lushan's faint behavior, Fugu Huaien suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a commotion in the city. In the face of the generals clamoring for an immediate attack, he smiled and said: "Last time, Wang Sili was rash and rash, so that the army was defeated and lacked a door, which made the rear army in a dilemma, so it was defeated, how could I be fooled this time?" โ
"But General, are we wasting time under this closed city?"
"Guo Ziyi used Hun Shizhi as a vanguard general, marching from the South Road of Kunshan, although that road is longer than the North Road of Kunshan, but Yongning, Fuchang, Shou'an and other places are almost no danger to defend, and will not go slower than us, since we know that our army is divided into two roads, Li Guiren himself weighs and measures, how long can he defend this missing door?" Fugu Huaien became more and more calm, and said lightly, "Order the whole army to rest on the spot." We rushed to Shuofang from the tent city of Anbei non-stop, and then fought another battle in Chang'an, and we hurried continuously out of Tongguan, so it was time to rest and rest. โ
As soon as these words came out, Fugu Huaien suddenly looked at each other. It is indeed hard to say that it is very hard to travel and fight, but after they arrived in Xiazhou from the city of Anbei Yatent, they rested for a long time; After rushing to Chang'an to relieve the siege and fight a vicious battle, it was followed by many days of rest, and it was better to lead the army of Shuofang Guo Ziyi to pursue; Immediately after, after the soldiers arrived at Tongguan, there was another burst of recuperation; Now when the whole army is in full swing, Fugu Huaien said that the army needs to rest? But the commander's order had to be obeyed, and they had to go up and down the army to give orders, but at the same time, they also warned the soldiers to be ready at all times in case the enemy attacked secretly.
Only Fugu Huaien himself knew that this was Du Shiyi's instruction before leaving. Du Shiyi specially instructed him not to rush to fight with the rebels after the soldiers reached the lack of a gate, so that he would lose his generals, but might as well wait patiently before closing the city without a gate, at most there would be good news in half a day.
Sure enough, Li Guiren deliberately made the illusion of a riot on the Guancheng, and planned to let people open the gate of the Guancheng and lure this army into the valley road to ambush, but he found that the vanguard army of Fugu Huaien was actually dismounted, resting, and some people took out the Hu cake and munched on it, talking and laughing loudly, and he suddenly fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. He wanted to use a strategy to show weakness to lure the enemy to attack, but now the enemy army has put on a plan to show weakness, and the chaotic scene is also beckoning to him, tempting him to send troops to attack.
"Damn servant Gu Huai'en, he actually used this trick!"
Although Li Guiren said that the surname Li was born, he was actually a Khitan, and he got the surname of the country because of An Lushan's recommendation. He had long been aware of the low morale of the army, and in comparison, the army of Fugu Huaien was well-trained, far from being comparable to the soldiers and horses encountered along the way before. Just as he was undecided, he suddenly heard a commotion from below, and although he had instructed the soldiers and horses to show a state of turmoil, he was a little annoyed at this time.
This scene has already been smashed, and even Fugu Huaien even played such a scene for him in reverse, what are those idiots doing with snakes?
"Oh no, oh no!"
When a confidant rushed up in a frustrated manner, shouting like this in his mouth, Li Guiren's face suddenly lengthened, and he slapped his head after stepping up quickly. The pro-soldier immediately came to his senses, covered half of his face and cautiously walked to the side of the main general, and said in a voice lower than a mosquito: "Li Mingjun, who is guarding Xin'an, has led his troops to rebel!" โ
As soon as these words came out, Li Guiren suddenly gasped. It must be known that among the soldiers and horses of Youyan, Pinglu, as the original nest of An Lushan, has the most soldiers and generals, and Li Mingjun is the one with the highest military rank. But after the army, An Lushan never reused it, and after entering Luoyang, he sent people to Xin'an, and it is even said that he once rebelled because of the Huaiyi Khan, and wanted to kill Li Mingjun to vent his anger, but he was persuaded by many generals who were good friends with him, so he dispelled the idea. Even so, after ascending the throne and becoming emperor, An Lushan's reward for him was extremely thin, but only a Jinwu general.
But in his heart, Li Guiren never believed that Li Mingjun would have his heart set on Datang, but now he is so good that he will not die, but Li Mingjun, who is guarding Xin'an behind him, has rebelled, and now he is the enemy on his back!
"Who else knows the news?"
Li Guiren asked in a fierce voice, and one hand had quietly pressed to the hilt of the sword, however, the next sentence spoken by the pro-soldier made him suddenly lose all his killing intent, and was replaced by deep shock.
"The news has already reached the lower army, so there will be chaos!"
Finished!
This is Li Quy Ren's only thought. However, he still knew that the situation at the moment was so severe that it was irreparable, and if Li Mingjun really led his troops to attack the missing door, he would never be lucky. He picked up the collar of the soldier who reported the news, and shouted word by word: "Go quickly, gather all the personal soldiers, and follow me back to Luoyang!" โ
Of course, the pro-soldier was not a fool, and when he heard Li Guiren say this, he knew that the main general was ready to leave all the other generals behind. But at this time, there was no room for mercy, and he only thought about running for his life, so he hurried down to prepare.
When the people up and down suddenly discovered that Li Guiren, who was guarding the lack of a gate, had disappeared, it was already an hour later, and a more chaotic situation suddenly appeared among the rebels. Some shouted to surrender, others took off their armor and dropped their swords, and rushed to jump into the valley to escape for their lives, and many more were like headless flies wandering around the city.
When the gate of the city was finally completely opened in this chaos, and there were rebels running out to surrender, without even having to give an order from Gu Huaien, the generals under his command who had just dismounted to eat and rest suddenly mounted their horses and lined up at an unprecedented speed. There was only one highest-ranking rebel general left above the city of Guancheng, overlooking the vanguard army, and seeing that the ranks of thousands of people had suddenly changed from chaotic to orderly, he sighed and said: "The king of Beiping has already fled, why should we be loyal to the Great Yan Dynasty and surrender!" โ
The soldiers did not fight the lack of blood, and there were no less than 1,000 soldiers who surrendered to him, and after asking the reason for this, he was puzzled and puzzled. However, he was still afraid that the news from Xin'an might not be true, and after thinking about it, he left 1,000 elite soldiers to guard the missing gate, and put the troops on the valley west of the missing gate, waiting for Du Shiyi's rear army to deal with it, and he took the remaining 4,000 elite soldiers to Xin'an County. Halfway through, he met Li Mingjun's messenger. Knowing that the other party really asked Du Shiyi to surrender, he let people go west to see Du Shiyi, and he continued to go east.
When he finally came to the city of Xin'an, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and the flag of An Lushan Dayan that was originally hanging high at the head of the city had been thrown to the ground, and there were traces of burning, and the new flag at the head of the city was not Tang, but embroidered with a word he was most familiar with - Du!
At the same time, Fugu Huaien couldn't help but smile when he felt kind. Despite this, he did not enter Sinanseong immediately, but was stationed outside the city. When Li Mingjun only brought dozens of entourages to meet in person, he smiled and asked the entourage to talk secretly, and when the other party did as he said, he personally poured a glass of wine in the temporary tent and handed it over with a smile.
"Dare to ask what is the relationship between General Li and my marshal in the past?"
Where did Li Mingjun think that Fugu Huaien would retreat from the crowd, and he didn't ask about the situation of the rebel generals, but asked such a gossip question. Finally, he had been under the rule of An Lushan for a long time, and he reacted quickly, and immediately pretended to be surprised, insisting that he had never seen Du Shiyi. Seeing that he didn't ask for a result, Fugu Huaien didn't take it to heart, but raised his glass and toasted Li Mingjun again.
"It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with it, I won't ask more, all in all, thanks to General Li raising the banner of righteousness, my sons and daughters were saved from stumbling with Li Guiren's rebels in the absence of a door, and I have to thank you. Since the new Anke is restored, I don't have to rush to Luoyang, let's wait for the handsome here! โ
In Fugu Huaien's opinion, no matter what you say, Luoyang is in front of you, if you can recapture Luoyang and kill An Lushan, this rebellion will be settled!
