Chapter 136: Full of pride
―― The first exchange between Li Ying and Yang Xi after clarifying their identities ended in vain.
Because of too many concerns, Yang Xi didn't want to say anything in front of Li Ying at this time.
Li Jue's superficial impatience this time made him can't help but worry. He, a biological father, is too unstable, and he is worried that because of Li Jue's temperament, he will bring him trouble and make him suffer in the future.
However, the matter has been clarified, and the two can be said to recognize the relative changes in each other's identities, and it is impossible to avoid them anymore, and such a thing will definitely be said again in the future. Let's talk about the future later, we can only take one step at a time.
Yang Xi and Li Jue's joint performance was finally approved by Emperor Li Longji.
After receiving the approval of the imperial court, Yang Xi also ordered his soldiers to rest as soon as possible. The sergeants of the Einsatzgruppen, the "treatment" is naturally different from that of other sergeants, they cannot have a long rest. After the end of the war, Yang Xi sent them to the direction of Luoyang.
Kip Stone Fort is still three or four hundred miles away from Luoyang, and there are some states and counties along the way, the situation is complicated, and it is necessary to investigate the situation well. Moreover, the terrain inside and outside Luoyang City and various other situations must be investigated, and the movements in Luoyang City must also be investigated, and Yang Xi will be handed over to the special task force to be responsible for these things.
After the brutal training, the members of the Einsatzgruppen immediately plunged into actual combat training. After several large-scale actual battles and countless petty theft battles, the officers and men of the special operations team have become very rich in combat experience, and their skills have become more and more proficient.
On the seventh day after the end of the Battle of Kip Stone, news from the north finally came.
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops quickly attacked Fanyang, and the defenders around Fanyang were caught off guard. After heavy losses, several county towns near Fanyang were quickly occupied by Guo and Li, and Yan Zhenqing, Helan Jinming, Zhang Xun, Li Siye, Cheng Qianli and other departments also quickly cooperated, and together with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, they attacked the towns and cities defended by the rebels, and many counties were captured by the Tang army. Those former Tang officials who were forced to surrender by the rebels, seeing the decline of the rebels and the growing strength of the official army, made another "wall grass", returned to the Tang Dynasty, and raised troops to crusade against the rebels.
The Tang army in the north quickly grew in strength, and eventually the rebels near Fanyang were almost wiped out. Li Guiren, the "King of Beiping" who guarded Fanyang, led the remnants to besiege Fanyang. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops surrounded Fan Yang, which was impenetrable.
However, the two generals Guo and Li also knew that Shi Siming, Cai Xide, and Gao Xiuyan's 180,000 troops were coming violently, and in order to prevent accidents, when they led the army to storm Fanyang City, they ordered Yan Zhenqing, Cheng Qianli, Helan Jinming, Li Siye and other troops to try to intercept the 180,000 army of Shi Siming as the main commander, and strive to capture Fan Yang before the rebel reinforcements arrived.
However, then came the news that Yang Xibu had defeated the rebels led by Sun Xiaozhe at Kip Stone Fort, and An Lushan made a choice between Fanyang and Luoyang. Ready to give up Fan Yang. In order to ensure that Luoyang is not lost and prevent Yang Xi's troops from taking advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang, Shi Siming and Cai Xide led the army to rush back to Luoyang, and only Gao Xiuyan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses went north to meet Li Guiren's troops.
Gao Xiuyan was in the process of going north. Encountering a sudden attack by Li Siye's troops, he immediately stopped his pace of going north and prepared to retreat south to Luoyang.
Li Siye, Helan Jinming, Cheng Qianli, and Yan Zhenqing followed in pursuit, not giving Gao Xiuyan a chance to escape back to Luoyang.
However, the sum of several parts did not achieve very good results. In the end, Gao Xiuyan escaped.
The Li Quy Nhon Ministry, who had completely lost hope, finally gave up after ten days of desperate resistance. It surrendered after being breached by the Don army.
Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops finally captured Fanyang at the cost of 20,000 people, captured the rebel general Li Guiren, and sent Li Guiren to Chang'an.
After Guo and Li jointly captured Fanyang with the men and horses of Andong Dadu Hufu, they did not stop in Fanyang, and ordered Andong Dadu Huwang Xuanzhi to lead an army to defend Fanyang and Pinglu, and the two generals led their troops south to prepare to attack Luoyang.
Guo Ziyi also immediately sent a letter to Li Jue and Yang Xi, hoping that the men and horses led by Li Jue and Yang Xi would join them to encircle Luoyang.
After receiving the military intelligence report from the north, Yang Xi was excited.
He knew that the current situation was completely different from the situation at the same time in history.
He vaguely remembered that the original "Tianbao" year in history was only fifteen years, and in the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Li Longji fled west into Shu in a hurry after the rebels broke through Tongguan. The crown prince Li Heng went north, succeeded to the throne in Lingwu, respected Li Longji as the emperor, and then changed the name of the year, as if it was called "Zhide" or something, Tianbao fifteen years is the first year of Zhide. But now the year name is still Tianbao, and today is February 25 of the sixteenth year of Tianbao. The situation that happened in the sixteenth year of Tianbao and the second year of Zhide in history is also completely different.
In the second year of Zhide in history, the rebels did not have much temper in the Tang army, and Chang'an was occupied by the rebels, but at that time An Lushan seemed to have been killed by his son An Qingxu, and An Qingxu succeeded to the throne as the "Great Yan" emperor.
But now, the situation is completely different, Tongguan is defended, Chang'an is not lost, and the rebel army of nearly 200,000 horses, under the interference of his born traverser, is almost wiped out, it can be said that in Shaanxi County and Kip Stone Fort, the rebels have lost nearly half of their troops, and their forces have been hit hard. Now that even Fan Yang, the hometown of the rebels and the birthplace of An Lushan, has been captured by the Tang army led by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and the rebels are gone, and the rebellion will definitely be quelled soon.
"My arrival completely changed history, haha!" Yang Xi hid in his tent and laughed at the sky outside the tent window. Archimedes said that by giving him a fulcrum, he could pry up the entire earth, and Yang Xi wanted to say that by giving him a suitable entry point, he could change history with his own ability.
History has been completely changed and will continue to change in the future, but I don't know what will become.
This rebellion has lasted for more than a year, almost sixteen months, half of the Tang Dynasty has been riddled with holes, and it is in urgent need of recuperation, Yang Xi hopes that the rebellion can be quelled as soon as possible, there will be no recurrence, he doesn't want to fight anymore, it's time to enjoy a good life.
He was also proud for a while, and immediately went to discuss things with Li Jue.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, Fan Yang has been captured by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops, the rebel forces in the north will definitely be wiped out after a while, and all the forces of the rebels have retreated to the vicinity of Luoyang, next, it is time for us to gather all our forces to attack Luoyang and strive to annihilate the last strength of the rebels as soon as possible!" Yang Xi waved the battle report in his hand and excitedly suggested to Li Jue: "Your Highness, our army has almost rested, and Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Siye, and Yan Zhenqing's troops in the north have quickly moved south, and we should also act." The last general suggested that the rest and recuperation should be ended immediately, and the march in the direction of Luoyang should be strived to encircle Luoyang together with the southbound departments!"
"This king agrees with Marshal Yang's proposal. Now that the northern tribes have moved south and are preparing to attack Luoyang, then we must also act and strive to be one step faster than them and attack Luoyang!" Li Ying is also full of pride. (To be continued......)
