Chapter 14: The Last Battle (I)

Rey, Li Changguo was dealing with military affairs, and I saw Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Mi, Du Fu, Gao Shi, and Cen Shen walking in quickly, with a solemn face, and they knew that something important was happening without thinking about it.

Li Changguo raised his head and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Marshal, the prison army has been wiped out, and he has sacrificed his life for the country." Guo Ziyi hesitated for a moment and reported in a painful tone.

"An Lushan is dead?" Li Changguo was surprised and stood up suddenly.

Getting rid of An Lushan and preventing the occurrence of the "Anshi Rebellion" was Li Changguo's stated goal. Later, with the contact with An Lushan, Li Changguo was shaken, because he found that although An Lushan was light on the world, he had not yet made up his mind to rebel. This is mainly because An Lushan is afraid of Li Linfu and has not yet made up his final decision. According to Li Changguo's thoughts, even if Li Linfu is dead, doesn't he still have himself?

An Lushan's fear of Li Changguo is only above Li Linfu, not below, as long as Li Changguo is in one day, An Lushan will not dare to rebel. Moreover, Li Changguo is younger than An Lushan, and Li Changguo will definitely live longer than An Lushan, which means that An Lushan will not want to rebel in his life.

In addition, Li Changguo seized his Fan Yang army, which made An Lushan lose his minions, even if he had the heart to rebel, he was powerless. Yes, Li Changguo was thinking that An Lushan was actually a talent and a good general, and if he could be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, it would be good.

Later, it was gradually discovered that An Lushan did not stop thinking of rebellion, although he had not yet made up his mind. This made Lee Chang Kook rise again to get rid of him.

This time, An Lushan was sent out for this purpose. Of course, Li Changguo did not necessarily have to kill An Lushan, in fact, he was given a chance, if An Lushan did not have the intention of rebellion, he would not be greedy for merit, and there would be no danger of killing. If only he had the heart to rebel. Then, for the sake of his power and status, he will inevitably be greedy for merit. It is possible to be defeated and die. You know, emaciated camels are bigger than horses, even if the Arab Empire is in the midst of storms. There must still be forces that should not be underestimated, and if An Lushan ventures, the possibility of defeat is even greater.

If An Lushan is lucky enough not to die, Li Changguo will find an excuse to kill him, and he can't let him live anymore. Because An Lushan's rebellious heart does not die, it is a disaster to keep him, and it is also annoying to guard against him all day long.

Right now, An Lushan is dead, and he has saved Li Changguo a lot of hands and feet.

The "Anshi Rebellion" will finally not happen. Li Changguo's heart finally landed.

An Lushan is the culprit of the Anshi Rebellion, he is dead, the Anshi Rebellion will definitely not happen again, the Tang Dynasty will not decline, and will continue its glory. This is something that countless descendants are looking forward to, and it has finally been realized, and Li Changguo's goal has been accomplished.

"An Qingxu, Shi Siming, and Shi Chaoyi were all martyred." Li Guangbi sighed and said, "He said that they are all heroes. ”

If you put aside An Lushan, Shi Siming, An Qingxu, and Shi Chaoyi's rebellion, the four of them are rare heroes and heroes, and they died like this. It's a pity indeed. For the ancients like Li Guangbi, they still don't know the dangers of these four people, and it is normal to feel sorry.

"Mourn for them, tell the whole army, and then play to Your Majesty." Li Changguo quickly dealt with the matter, and continued: "The army immediately set out and marched westward with great fanfare, and entered Medina. ”

"The marshal is extremely worried." Li Mi greatly agreed, and said: "The caliph will inevitably use the incident of An Lushan's defeat to make a fuss, and we must press it to Medina before he makes a fuss to reduce the impact of this matter." ”

With the shrewdness of the caliph, he naturally would not miss this matter, and he would definitely publicize it with great fanfare, so as to boost the morale of the army and combat what the Tang army did. …,

The current Arab empire is in turmoil, and it is precisely this kind of news of victory that is needed. In this battle, the Arab Empire was not a big victory, but in order to get the best propaganda effect, the caliph would definitely make a big statement and trumpeted the killing of 180,000 Tang troops.

At the sound of Li Changguo's order, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops left the territory of Persia and, according to Li Changguo's deployment, marched towards Medina with great fanfare.

On the way, sure enough, he received military reports from the caliph everywhere, just as Li Changguo expected, the caliph preached that he had killed 100,000 Tang troops, and the Tang army was not worried.

As soon as this news spread, the impact was extremely huge, and many areas that were waiting and watching immediately died down and did not dare to revolt again, and those areas that originally wanted to send people to contact the Tang Army did not dare to send people anymore.

However, this situation did not last long before it was replaced by the news of the Tang army's westward advance.

Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops are fanfare, what a shock is that?

In order to achieve the greatest propaganda effect, the Tang army is the elite to the fullest, looking at the bright armor and murderous Tang army, the Tang army is shocked everywhere it passes, they have never seen such an elite army in their lives, even the Arab army that can fight well is not so good.

This is tantamount to a booster, and it quickly restored the fighting spirit of the area where the fighting spirit was a little low, and even more so.

On the way, Li Changguo received envoys from many places, they were more respectful and obedient, and the Tang army was subordinate to everything, and this effect was good, and Li Changguo was greatly satisfied.

The Tang army's westward advance this time was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, which was unusually smooth, and did not encounter decent resistance. Occasionally, some remnants of the Arab Empire came to stop the Tang army, and they were all broken into pieces by the Tang army.

Half a month later, the Tang army was only a hundred miles away from Medina, and the whole army was looking forward to rushing to Medina immediately, taking Medina in one fell swoop and destroying the Arab Empire.

Not only did the Tang army think so, but even those areas where the uprising and riots were looking forward to it.

However, Li Changguo made an unexpected decision, he actually ordered the Tang army to stop advancing and set up camp a hundred miles from Medina.

Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops set up camps, stretching for more than 100 miles, one after another tents, you can't see the end at a glance, I don't know how many.

Li Changguo's order was so difficult to understand that the generals were full of puzzlement, and as soon as they arranged the affairs of the camp, they rushed to see Li Changguo and prepared to find out.

"Dashuai, why do you want to stop advancing? We are only a hundred miles from Medina, a hundred miles, and the cavalry will arrive in only three or two hours. ”

"Medina, the capital of great food, must be empty, and if we arrive, we will be able to take it in one go. If we take Medina, the Great Eclipse will surely perish, and we will establish an immortal miracle. ”

As soon as the generals saw Li Changguo, they were questioned, and they were all angry and angry.

This is also where Li Changguo's prestige lies, otherwise, they will definitely scold Li Changguo for being confused and confused.

However, what made the generals even more incomprehensible was that Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Gao Xianzhi and Li Mi were full of praise for Li Changguo's decision and praised it loudly.

"Are you confused? Dashuai, this is obviously a mess, and you actually approve of it. ”

"They're not confused, they're confused, confused."

The generals were polite to Li Changguo, and they had nothing to be polite to Gao Xianzhi, and directly scolded them for being confused.

"You're the fools." Guo Ziyi replied to the generals with a smile and said, "Do you know why the marshal did this?" What you can see through, can't the handsome man see through? ”

"This ......" Li Changguo did not disappoint them, and every time there were many unexpected schemes, the generals were stunned for a while, and they couldn't say it anymore. …,

"I'll tell you." Li Changguo knew that it would not work if he did not explain to the generals, so he waved his hand to stop the generals from making noise, and said: "What you are thinking about is how to take down Medina as quickly as possible, while we are thinking about the overall situation. Medina is the land of the Great Eclipse, the land of the Caliph, and if we can take down Medina, we will destroy the Great Eclipse. But have you thought about another question? Dashi has been established for a hundred years, and the foundation is not shallow, and there will inevitably be many remnant forces in various places, which will bring endless trouble to our pursuit in the future. What I mean is that we should postpone our assault on Medina and let the caliph gather forces, preferably all the forces from all over the country, so that we can do our job in one battle. ”

"Handsome and clever!" As soon as Li Changguo's words came to an end, the generals were overjoyed and praised loudly. Look at their happy faces, as if they questioned Li Changguo's decision that it had not happened.

Li Changguo's plan is the best plan, to annihilate all the forces of the Arab Empire in Medina, then the Middle East will be stable and abnormal.

You can imagine that the Arab Empire is not small, if the remnants of the forces are left everywhere, and the Tang army divides its troops to pursue and suppress, how much trouble it will be? Definitely a big hassle.

If the caliph had been allowed to mobilize them to Medina, the Tang army would have been crippled in a battle, which would have great benefits for the stability of the Middle East.

XXXXXXXX

Medina, Marwan II secretly rejoiced.

"What? Did the Chinese stop advancing? Marwan II looked surprised, very unbelievable, the Tang army was only a hundred miles away from Medina, and the speed of the cavalry could arrive in only three or two hours, he thought that Medina must be lost, but he did not expect that the Tang army would stop advancing.

"It must be Allah, the Great, who is protecting us." Marwan II was overjoyed, thinking that Allah was blessing them, but he did not expect that this was a game set up by Li Changguo.

"The Chinese are powerful, and the heart of death will not die, and we must mobilize all the troops to come to Medina and carry out holy wars to protect Medina." Marwan II immediately had an idea and ordered a large army to be mobilized to defend Medina.

What he didn't expect was that he fell headlong into Li Changguo's trap.

Li Changguo This is a conspiracy, even if Marwan II knows that this is Li Changguo's plan, he can't help but fall for it, he can't give up the capital, right?

In this way, the remnants of the Arab empire rushed to Medina, and more and more Arab imperial forces gathered there, and finally reached a million people. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
