After defeating [***], Yang Ping'an was also very curious, why did the Zhou army send troops to support Tianchang, and there were only four or five thousand troops left in the city, didn't Yang Guozhong be recognized.

This doubt, until he saw Fugu Huai'en, the reason why the Zhou army, which had a limited number of troops, sent most of the soldiers and horses to Tianchang was derived from his intelligence, Shi Siming's troops went out of Yangzhou through Changfeng Valley, and the soldiers were long.

[***] can be lost, but the 30,000 soldiers and horses who attacked Tianchang cannot be damaged, so Fugu Huai'en ordered as the emperor's secret envoy to send reinforcements.

When Yang Ping'an learned the true identity of Fugu Huaien, he understood the meaning hidden behind it, and Fugu Huaien found that there was a Tang army fighting [***] attention, so he deliberately took most of the defenders in the city to facilitate the Tang army to attack the city.

It's really good to have an internal annihilation.

The unexpected gain of [***], in addition to Fugu Huaien, there is also An Lushan, and the surprise he brought to Yang Ping'an is really too great.

In Yang Ping'an's plan to attack [***], the role of An Lushan in leading 3,000 soldiers and horses is to lead out some of the defenders of [***], and lead as far as possible, so that Yang Ping'an can calmly attack [***] with insufficient troops, and wait until [***] is defeated, An Lushan is leading the troops back to [***], and he does not ask him to do anything to the pursuing soldiers.

A few days after the city was broken, An Lushan led the soldiers and horses back, and there were less than 2,000 of the 3,000 personal soldiers left, but the Zhou army that pursued him suffered greater losses.

Yang Ping'an was greatly surprised, and when he asked, he knew that An Lushan took the soldiers and horses to shuttle around in the wilderness and dense forests outside the city, discarded the war horse under his crotch early, and used the terrain and terrain to fight with the chasing soldiers.

Soon the pursuers found out that this was a trick to lure the enemy, and planned to return [***], An Lushan learned that he was in a hurry, and he could only take the initiative to attack the other party, regardless of whether he suffered a loss or took advantage, he always retreated with a blow.

His repeated harassment finally angered the pursuers, and the two sides fought a small battle in the wilderness and dense forest.

An Lushan is a purebred Hu people, who grew up on the grassland since childhood, and often spent time with wild beasts in his youth, and has a unique insight into the survival of dense forests.

He scattered his men and horses, attacked in all directions, and disturbed the pursuers with a small price, and then saw the opportunity to take a hard bite while the other party might as well take a bite.

In this way, An Lushan annihilated one-third of the pursuers in the way of ants gnawing elephants, before the pursuers could react, and the Tang army, under his command, only paid the price of a few hundred people.

When the pursuers reacted, his good life came to an end, and he was finally blocked by the pursuers, and the two sides started a scuffle.

Fortunately, the strength of the two sides is not much different, and the terrain is not suitable for cavalry charge, in the nowhere to retreat An Lushan rushed into the enemy first, and after killing the pursuing general, the pursuers completely collapsed, and were chased and killed almost all the way.

An Lushan is also addicted to killing, if it weren't for the Zhou army detective sentry who stopped Guabu, he could almost chase all the way to Guabu.

Yang Ping'an, who learned all this, had to sigh, the shadow of the tree of human life, even if An Lushan in this world is only from the Huotou Army, and he can't read the military book at all, but in the end, he is An Lushan, the one who once launched the Anshi Rebellion, and the history of several years has caused the Tang royal family to flee and occupy half of the country.

It's not that An Lushan can't fight, it's just that his way of fighting comes more from wild beasts than from the rigid dogmas in books.

After laying [***], Yang Ping'an unexpectedly gained an An Lushan who could fight, how could this not make him excited.

In addition, the captured Tang army captives in the city were also recruited by him, such as young generals like Kong Haoxia, as well as four or five thousand elite soldiers, as for other high-ranking generals, he directly drove them away, he is not Yang Rui, he can't control these people.

It can be said that after defeating [***], Yang Ping'an not only got An Lushan who could fight, but also thousands of elite Tang Army and some young captains who had no background and no power.

Among these captains, Kong Haoxia is the representative, they have no backstage, and Yang Ping'an's identity as a colt can completely coax them; They are young, and Yang Ping'an can use various means to take them for his own use, and it can be said that this battle has gained a lot for Yang Ping'an.

He rewarded the entire army with two pieces of silver from the city's treasury, even the thousands of soldiers who had just attached themselves to his command were rewarded.

Then he asked An Lushan to lead all the armaments in [***] City, and Yang Guozhong temporarily took the post of [***] Taishou to straighten out the civil affairs, and the two who wanted to be officials racked their brains with their own means, wanting to show their talents in front of Yang Ping'an.

This is also a scene that Chu Pei saw before.

Yang Ping'an returned to the side hall, and when he first saw Chu Pei, he thought that An Lushan and Kong Haoxia had found a young lieutenant and wanted to introduce him to him.

But Chu Pei's words made him understand that this young man who was obsessed with war actually just wanted to figure out how he captured [***].

Naturally, he didn't have to hide this matter, and immediately said it as it was, and when he heard Chu Pei's surprise, his eyes when he looked at Yang Ping'an changed.

Tianchang is not far from Yangzhou, Chu Pei also heard that there is a horse supervisor in Yangzhou, even if Yangzhou had a miraculous victory in the early days of the war, but most people's views on Yang Ping'an are still tightly stuck in the identity of the horse.

It was only now that Chu Pei understood that Yang Ping'an, the horse supervisor, was by no means as ordinary as it seemed on the surface.

Yang Ping'an also learned from Chu Pei that Shi Siming led his troops to Tianchang, and he chuckled and did not deny it, but judging from Shi Siming's troops, they must have suffered Kou Xiong's loss in Tianchang.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Pei led the troops back to Tianchang, and at noon, Yang Ping'an summoned An Lushan, Yang Guozhong and Kong Haoxia, and made the decision to evacuate after three days.

The reason why he specially told Kong Haoxia was because Kong Haoxia had some prestige among the original [***] defenders, and he wanted to take the thousands of newly collected soldiers and horses with him.

For his decision, An Lushan and Yang Guozhong both expressed strong doubts, in the eyes of the two of them, [***] was beaten by Yang Ping'an, and the two of them are now in charge of military politics in [***], which greatly satisfies their ** for career and for getting ahead.

Moreover, because they rescued the [***] people from the Zhou army and governed them properly, they have won the support of the people in the city, and it is difficult to say about changing places.

How could Yang Ping'an care about this kind of vanity, what he wanted was to show his prestige in the war, gather soldiers and horses, in order to deter Yang Rui and ensure the safety of his women who fell into the hands of Yang Rui.

The big chessboard of the Tang and Zhou Wars was his best opportunity to play this chess.

[***] can't defend it, and it can't be held, because [***] is at the forefront of the war, and the Zhou army of Guabu is eyeing it, and it will fall into the encirclement if it is not careful.

He didn't say the words in the front, but just told them that in the face of the Guabu Zhou army, it would be difficult to hold on, and the Tianchang behind him, as well as Shi Siming, had bad intentions.

"Straight thief, does that bastard dare to stab the eldest brother in the back." An Lushan hated Shi Siming so much that he scolded.

"Otherwise, why would they go to Tianchang, don't forget that their mission is to resist Ning Zhenmo's soldiers and horses, and Changfeng Valley is the only way to go to Tianchang." Yang Ping'an's words pointed out Shi Siming's sinister intentions, and An Lushan jumped to his feet when he heard it.

Yang Guozhong hated Li Linfu the most: "Big brother, it must be Li Linfu's bastard, I remember that before the army left the city, that guy came to the house, he must have found out about our plan and betrayed us to Shi Siming, this guy who has milk is a mother, forgot the kindness of the eldest brother to him." ”

"Don't talk about it anymore." Yang Ping'an waved his hand, "What he does, it's his freedom, you and I don't have to care about him, fat man, you will integrate the soldiers and horses in the past two days; Guozhong, you prepare more grain and grass; Haoxia, you help the fat man and integrate the two forces as soon as possible, we have to give up [***], but if the Zhou army wants to defeat [***], it will also have to pay the price of blood. ”

"The last will obey." Kong Haoxia hugged his fists and said, Yang Ping'an's noble identity, Yang Ping'an's mystery, Yang Ping'an's approachability, Yang Ping'an's clever plan, and Yang Ping'an's life-saving grace all convinced Kong Haoxia little by little, and convinced from the bottom of his heart.

Three days later, Yang Ping'an ignored the people's hard work, and resolutely led the army to leave, and their departure also made the [***] people full of despair, and some people even gave up their family business and moved their families north, wanting to escape from this war-torn place.

The news of the Tang army's abandonment of [***] soon spread to the surrounding counties and counties, and the Guabu Zhou army wanted to recapture [***] and sent vanguard soldiers and horses to explore the road, while Yang Ping'an had already led the troops to ambush on the road to [***] in Guabu, just waiting for the Zhou army vanguard to enter the urn.

It's just that the ambush battle that broke out first was not on Yang Ping'an's side, but on the west side of [***].

The Tang army's recovery of [***] has long been spread, and the Tang army stationed in Yongyang is the first group to learn about it, and they don't care too much about it, because Yongyang is close to Chuzhou and directly obeys the orders of Guo Ziyi, who is sitting in Chuzhou.

But when they learned that the Tang Army that had recovered [***] actually gave up [***], their eyes immediately set on [***], which was a great achievement in recovering the lost territory.

The Yongyang guard general discussed it for a while, and finally made a decision to send people to Chuzhou to ask Guo Ziyi for his life, and at the same time sent a team of 8,000 soldiers and horses into the army [***], this great merit obtained in vain, who can not be red.

It's just that they didn't expect that the Zhou army that paid attention to [***] was not a place, and the same was true for the Zhou army in Ningpu, and what they really cared about was not [***], but the Tang army that sent troops [***].

Ningpu was directly controlled by Li Guangbi, who was sitting in Hezhou and Guo Ziyi, and his status was the same as that of Yongyang.

After discovering that a Tang army was sending troops from Yongyang [***], he immediately sent a group of soldiers and horses to set up an ambush halfway to ambush the Tang army in Yongyang.

Yongyang's Tang army only had the credit of recovering [***] in his eyes, and he didn't notice that he had become the prey, and as a result, he crashed into the encirclement of the Zhou army.

Rao is so, after they withdrew to Yongyang, the soldiers and horses were also killed and wounded as much as forty percent, and at the same time, Guo Ziyi's commander issued an order, ordering them not to enter the army [***] and stick to Yongyang.

This order hurt them very much, but the news that they were even more injured came later, and the Zhou army sent by Guabu to [***] was ambushed by the Tang army halfway and suffered heavy casualties, and this Tang army was the Tang army that withdrew from [***].
