Chapter 157: Follow-up Arrangements

—— As it was getting to the end of the evening, all the fighting in Luoyang City stopped.

Although there is still the smell of gunpowder and blood in the whole city, as the corpses of the fallen soldiers are buried outside the city, the blood stains everywhere are washed away, and the smell of war will slowly fade. The rebellion has been quelled, then this is still the Tokyo of the Tang Dynasty, a prosperous city, as long as it takes a while, there will definitely be endless business travel, lively and extraordinary, and the shadow of war will slowly fade.

But now, Luoyang City is still very tense, and there are no ordinary people to see on the streets except for teams of sergeants patrolling back and forth to search. However, as the sound of explosions and fighting stopped, the people hiding in their houses knew that the war was over, the rule of "Dayan" was over, and they became the people of the Tang Dynasty again.

In just a few years, Luoyang has experienced several tragic wars, and many people are still worried about whether there will be another war next.

Yang Xi knew the people's worries, and he also knew that appeasing the people after the war was the first thing to do, and when he ordered the soldiers to check the remnants of the rebels, he posted notices everywhere to tell the people in Luoyang City that the Tang Dynasty's Wang Shi had returned, and completely quelled the rebellion in An Lushan, and the world was peaceful again, and the people could continue to live and work in peace and contentment.

After receiving a report that the war was completely over and all the gates of Luoyang City and the imperial city were captured, Yang Xi ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and remove the corpses and bloodstains, and also led the main generals to report the situation to Li Jue, the king of Yan.

Li Ying was really tired, and when the battle was very fierce, he actually slept for an hour and a half, and finally woke up by himself.

He dreamed that the battle in Luoyang City was not going well, and the men and horses he led were defeated, and finally he fled, and was punished by his father, Li Longji, and dragged out and beheaded, surrounded by gloating brothers. The terrifying scene suddenly woke him up, and after waking up, he also hurriedly inquired about the progress of the war, and learned that Yang Xi had commanded his men and horses to attack the imperial city, so he let go of the snacks.

However, when he woke up, he was anxiously waiting for the most accurate report on the situation of the battle.

In Li Jue's anxious waiting, Yang Xi took Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Pang Zhong and others back to report the situation to him.

"His Royal Highness King Qiyuyan, the last general and others have led the army to capture the entire Luoyang, and captured the enemy chieftain An Lushan, Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan and other ......" Yang Xi stepped forward, made a salute, and told Li Ying in detail about the battle situation, after explaining the battle situation in detail, Yang Xi slapped his own father, who was lazy in military affairs, a small slap, "Your Highness, under your personal command and command, all the soldiers worked together to kill the enemy, and finally captured the imperial city, and occupied all the gates in Luoyang City." His Royal Highness commanded well, and finally put down the rebellion and restored peace to the people of the world. Luoyang was captured by our army so quickly, and An Lushan, Shi Siming and other rebel generals were captured together, and His Royal Highness made great contributions. ”

This is quite insincere, Yang Xi himself feels weird, and it also makes Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and others feel strange......

Yang Xi doesn't seem to be a person who likes to slap horses, everyone knows that being able to capture Luoyang has nothing to do with Li Jue, the king of Yan, most of the arrangements are made by Yang Xi, according to Yang Xi's surname, even if he doesn't pull the credit on himself, he won't push it on Li Jue's head.

However, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi did not feel strange about this. Because they felt that what Yang Xi said was not wrong, Li Ying was the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and all the soldiers and horses that attacked Luoyang City were his temperate, and the greatest credit was recorded on Li Jue's head, which was a logical thing. They had no contact with Yang Xi before, and they didn't know Yang Xi's surname, let alone what happened in Chang'an some time ago.

They also immediately followed Yang Xi and praised Li Jue's "wisdom".

After listening to Yang Xi and the generals' recitation, Li Jue's mood became better and better, and he smiled and motioned to the generals not to talk about this for the time being.

"You have worked hard, now that Luoyang has finally been captured by our army, An Lushan and other rebels will be captured, this king is very happy, I believe that Your Majesty will be excited to sleep after receiving this news!" Li Jue said and couldn't help but stand up, "An Lushan's rebellion lasted for almost a year and a half, and nearly half of the world of the Tang Dynasty was captured by it. This king will definitely ask for a reward for you in front of His Majesty, and this king also declares that he will take out the captured gold and silver treasures and reward the three armies! You are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and without you, the rebellion would not have been put down so quickly. Haha, God bless me Datang!"

Hearing Li Jue say this, all the generals except Yang Xi were all smiling. What is the purpose of the war? In addition to defending the homeland and defending the country, it is to seize military merits and win the rewards of the imperial court with military merits, the war is over, and these are what the soldiers are looking forward to the most, how can they be unhappy?

Of course, Yang Xi didn't care about this, but he also appreciated Li Jue's move and bought people's hearts.

The generals were humble and complimented Li Jue, and Li Jue also continued to say that after the rebellion was completely quelled and the situation in Luoyang settled down, he would personally escort An Lushan, Shi Siming and other rebel generals back to Chang'an, and let the generals go with him, and he would ask the emperor for the generals in person and ask for rewards. Hearing Li Jue continue to say this, the generals were even more happy.

Li Jue also immediately ordered that the battle report of Luoyang be sent to Chang'an in an expedited manner of 600 li, and the news that the rebellion had been basically quelled was told to his father as soon as possible, the old man who was looking forward to the good news again.

Although Luoyang was captured, some counties near Luoyang were still under the occupation of the rebels, as long as they did not announce their surrender, the rebellion could be said to have not been completely quelled, and the army would be sent out to attack these places.

But everyone knows that Luoyang has been captured, and the main leaders of the rebels such as An Lushan, An Qingxu, Shi Siming, Yan Zhuang, and Gao Shang have all been captured or surrendered, and those counties that were originally returned to the Kedi rebels will also be annexed immediately. It is believed that there is no need for war in many places, as long as an order is issued, or a large army is sent to the city, the officials of those places will open the city and ask for surrender.

After arranging the follow-up affairs, Li Jue felt a great sense of accomplishment, and immediately ordered the generals to go to work on their own, leaving Yang Xi alone. Luoyang was completely captured, the military affairs were basically over, and the follow-up arrangements were about to follow, what to do later, Li Jue wanted to ask Yang Xi's idea.
