Li Guangbi has been strict and resolute since he was a child, he likes to read "Hanshu", is good at riding and archery, and shows extraordinary qualifications.

His father died, and he kept filial piety according to etiquette, and finally mourned his wife's room, showing his consistent character. In the fifth year of Tianbao, he was promoted to the envoy of soldiers and horses by Wang Zhonghe, the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu, and served as the military envoy of Chishui.

Wang Zhongsi's eyes were like torches, and he said to others, "In the future, the one who can command the army on my behalf must be Li Guangbi." In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Shuo Fang Jiedu made An Sishun play Li Guangbi as the deputy envoy, and he knew what would happen after him. Li Guangbi is outstanding, and An Sishun loves it very much.

wanted to marry his daughter to him, Li Guangbi didn't want to become inflammatory, so he excused himself from the marriage under the pretext that he was sick.

Longyoujie Du Ge Shuhan has always been at odds with An Sishun, and when he heard about Li Guangbi's refusal to marry, he announced that Li Guangbi entered the court as a military attaché.

The Anshi Rebellion broke out, and in the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756 AD), under the recommendation of Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi was appointed by the imperial court as the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. He led 5,000 Shuofang troops to join Guo Ziyi, and went east out of Jingcheng (now northwest of Jingcheng, Hebei).

Recovered Changshan County (now Zhengding, Hebei). The rebel general Shi Siming led tens of thousands of soldiers to support Changshan, Li Guangbi broke the rebel army, and successively recovered Jiumen (now northwest of Gaocheng, Hebei), Zhao County (now Zhao County, Hebei) and other places, and was promoted to Fanyang Changshi and Hebei Jiedu envoy for his merits. In July, in Jiashan (now in Quyang, Hebei), the Shi Siming Department was broken,

Beheaded more than 10,000 and captured 4,000, Shi Siming fled with his hair scattered and barefoot to Boling (now Dingxian County, Hebei). Li Guangbi entered the siege of Boling, the Tang army was greatly invigorated, and more than ten counties and counties in Hebei killed the rebels and returned to the Tang Dynasty, and most of the counties in Hebei were recovered by the Tang army.

Under the shape of successive victories, Li Guangbi soberly realized that the enemy was sharp, and he should end Fan Yang, the old nest of An Lushan, and "kill the thief fundamentally".

Unexpectedly, the form took a sharp turn, Geshu Hantong Pass was lost, and the door of Chang'an was wide open. Tang Xuanzong was at a loss and led his children and grandchildren to flee to Shu, Chang'an fell into the hands of the rebels, and Princess Wangsun, who remained in Chang'an, was killed by the rebels like cutting melons and vegetables. For a time, the bloody rain was miserable.

The crown prince Li Heng Lingwu ascended the throne for Tang Suzong, and respected Tang Xuanzong as the emperor. Li Guangbi was awarded the title of Hubu Shangshu and Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi. 5,000 troops were stationed in Taiyuan.

The local festival made Wang Chengye deserted in military politics, and Shi Cui Zhong became the de facto leader, he and Wang Chengye were originally superiors and subordinates, but there were no rules in front of Wang Chengye.

After the emperor's edict was read, Cui Zhong should have handed over all the soldiers and horses to Li Guangbi, but he just didn't do it.

He decided to kill Cui Zhongliwei. Cui Zhong was arrested. The envoy of the imperial court also arrived and wanted to appoint Cui Zhong as the middle of the imperial history. General Li Guangbi was outside, and the king's order was not accepted, and he said to the envoy, "Cui Zhong is guilty and has been imprisoned, and now the one who wants to be beheaded is the servant Shi Cui Zhong."

If you proclaim to worship him as the Emperor of the Imperial History, I will kill the Emperor Cui Zhong." The lieutenant envoy was frightened and did not dare to take out the edict. Cui Zhong was beheaded in the army, and Li Guangbi shocked the three armies here, and the order must be carried out.

In the second year of Tang Suzong's reign (757 AD), Shi Siming, Cai Xide and others led more than 100,000 rebels to attack Taiyuan (now southwest of Taiyuan). At that time, the elite soldiers under Li Guangbi were all requisitioned and transferred to the Shuofang army to defend Tang Suzong, and Li Guangbi's men did not even have 10,000 men.

Seeing that the rebels were coming, everyone built a fortification of the city to facilitate the defense, and Li Guangbi persuaded everyone, "There are forty miles around the city."

The project is huge, and the enemy is coming in the blink of an eye. At that time, everyone is exhausted, how can they resist Shi Siming's rebels", however, Li Guangbi did not wait passively, he prepared a giant catapult for the rebels that could only be pulled by 200 people. The rebels attacked, and the boulders fell on the rebels like hailstones, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties, losing 10,000 or 20,000 troops at once.

Shi Siming thought hard and came up with a way to deal with it, he asked the soldiers to build a flying tower, surrounded it with a wooden curtain, and piled up a mountain of earth on the flying tower, as a siege weapon. Li Guangbi is proficient in the art of war, but he does not know, he commands the soldiers to hollow out the ground, and the earth and mountains are heavy.

Suddenly collapsed. Shi Siming made another move, he held a banquet under the city and let the actors perform Tang Xuanzong on stage, which was intended to hit the morale of the Tang army. Unexpectedly, Li Guangbi had already asked someone to dig a lot of tunnels.

Fought a tunnel battle with Shi Siming, the strange soldiers came out of the tunnel, the drama was captured from the tunnel, and soon, the head of the drama was thrown off the city wall by the Tang army, Shi Siming was frightened, and his tooth tent was quickly relocated.

When the rebels retreated, their eyes were fixed on the ground, for fear that they would also fall down and their heads would be moved by the Tang army.

One by one, the Tang army hollowed out the underground of Shi Siming's camp and supported it with wood, showing no traces on the surface.

Li Guangbi used the food in the city as the reason, sent people to Shi Siming to surrender, thousands of troops out of the city, led by a Tang army general holding a white flag, the rebels gathered the team, held a welcome ceremony, suddenly, the support wood in the tunnel was removed, the ground collapsed,

Thousands of rebels were buried in the ground, and the Tang army above and below the city made a loud noise, and the cavalry took advantage of the situation to kill and capture tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop. Shi Siming was frightened and at a loss, he knew that he had met a lifelong rival.

At this time, An Lushan had been killed by the rebel son An Qingxu, Shi Siming was ordered to defend Fanyang, and the rebel army was led by Cai Xide and continued to deal with Li Guangbi. Lee Kwang-pil picked a death squad,

All of them are strong in martial arts. He took the lead, charged ahead, and led the death squad in a desperate struggle against the rebels.

In one fell swoop, 70,000 enemies were annihilated, and countless ordnance and baggage were captured.

In September of the second year of Zhide, 150,000 Tang troops under the command of Guo Ziyi, in the south of Chang'an City, Xiangji Temple in the north of the 100,000 rebels in a decisive battle, the Tang army with the help of 4,000 Hui cavalry, the An army beheaded 60,000 people, recovered Chang'an, to the second year of October, the Tang army took advantage of the victory to pursue

, in Xindian, the 150,000-strong An army was broken, and Luoyang was recovered, and An Qingxu fled to Yecheng (now Anyang, Henan), waiting for Shi Siming's reinforcements. The Tang army entered the siege of Yecheng, and Shi Siming led the rebels to help.

Suddenly, the wind was strong, the sand and rocks were flying, the camps of the two sides were in chaos, and they retreated, and only Li Guangbi and Wang Sili were the only troops in the Tang army who returned. Yecheng defeat,

Li Guangbi replaced Guo Ziyi as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. Soon, Shi Siming killed An Qingxu. The rebels captured Bianzhou (now Kaifeng) and threatened Luoyang again, some built yì to retreat to Tongguan, and some built yì to hold Luoyang. Li Guangbi believes that

There is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and hard fighting is not the way, so they retreat to Heyang (now south of Mengxian County, Henan), "blocking Ze and Lu in the north." If you win, you will come out, and if you lose, you will defend", and it is the best policy to prevent the rebels from advancing westward.

He ordered the officials and people of Luoyang City to go out of the city to avoid thieves and vacate Luoyang City, and the Tang army was ready to fight the rebels.

Shi Siming led the army to Yanshi, Li Guangbi led the army to Heyang, and the two sides met at Shiqiao.

Lee Kwang Pik's troops were in distinct armor. Holding the torch and moving slowly, the rebels were afraid of Li Guangbi, and no one dared to provoke a fight. After the rebels occupied Luoyang, they feared that Li Guangbi's troops would attack their flanks,

He was stationed at the White Horse Temple in the east of Luoyang, dug trenches, built a moon-shaped city, and confronted the Tang army in the south of Heyang.

The rebels launched an attack, and the Tang army relied on the three cities of Heyang to hold on, and the contest was over. The Tang army beheaded more than 1,000 people, captured 5,000 people, and many of the rebels fell into the river and drowned.

The number of Tang troops was pitiful, but Li Guangbi was confident. The command is determined. He said to Li Baoyu, "Can the general defend the southern city for me for two days?" Li Baoyu asked, "What will happen after that", Li Guangbi replied, "Abandon it". Li Baoyu agreed. He sent a message to the rebels,

"We have run out of food, we will surrender to you tomorrow", the rebels cheered and stopped the siege. Li Baoyu hurriedly led people to build the ruined city wall, and when the enemy learned that he had been deceived, the southern city was impregnable.

The rebels were furious and attacked in a hurry, Li Baoyu made a surprise attack, and the rebels suffered heavy losses and were very discouraged. Another general under Li Guangbi, Li Fei Yuanli, guarded Yangma City, and the battle became more intense.

The thief general Zhou Zhi led the eight soldiers and horses to attack with all their might, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, at this time, Li Guangbi ordered Lifei Yuanli to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Li Fei Yuanli's subordinates are all elite soldiers, and they are brave in battle.

Under the charge, the rebels retreated. He saw that the enemy was outnumbered and it was not suitable to fight hard, so he waved his flag and let the soldiers return to the battle. Li Guangbi thought that Li Fei Yuanli was cowardly and fearful of war, so he was furious and prepared to engage him in military law.

When Li Guangbi sent someone to summon Li Fei Yuanli, Li Fei Yuan Li told the people, "We are fighting,

I can't meet the boss for the time being, and I'll see him again after the enemy is broken." Li Fei Yuanli told his subordinates, "The boss thinks I am cowardly and is ready to behead me, and now we can only fight to the death, even if we die in battle,

It is better than being beheaded in the camp in the name of a coward." The momentum of the Tang army was like a rainbow, the thunder attacked, Li Fei Yuanli held a big knife, charged ahead, the Tang army beheaded hundreds, and the rebels were defeated.

After all, it was a long-trained army of tigers and wolves, and the thief general Zhou Zhi gathered them together again, and joined forces with An Taiqing with 30,000 troops to attack Beicheng.

Li Guangbi guarded the northern city, he has always been extremely strict in governing the army, although the Tang army is small in number but extremely effective. Li Guangbi told everyone, the flag enters and people advance, and the flag retreats and people retreat,

And sent the broadsword to guard the war team in the back, and above the battle array, there were those who retreated. The Tang army fought against the water, beheaded more than 10,000 people, captured 8,000 enemies, captured 2,000 war horses, and hundreds of millions of military equipment.

Captured Zhou Zhi, Xu Huangyu, and Li Qinzhu. Shi Siming was still attacking Nancheng, Li Guangbi slammed Shi Jun with cannons, and killed all 8,000 prisoners by the Yellow River.

In the Battle of Heyang, the Tang army beheaded a total of 20,000 people, and won a comprehensive victory, becoming a famous example of winning more with less in Chinese history. Before every big war, Lee Kwang-pil had to stick a short knife in his boot, saying,

"War is a life-and-death contest, I am in the third duke, I will never be captured alive by the rebels, in case of failure, when I kill myself to thank the Son of Heaven", the three armies were excited, the first year of Tang Suzong (760 AD),

Li Guangbi led his army to recover Huaizhou (now Qinyang, Henan), and in the contest with Shi Siming, the Tang army won again, and this time, Li Guangbi's clever plan played a role again.

Li Guangbi led the Tang army to garrison Yeshuidu, south of Heyang, which was a flat land, and the Tang army erected wooden fences around it to confront the rebels. Shi Siming is good at field battles,

Seeing this, I was overjoyed. He has three generals under him, Gao Hui, Li Riyue, and Yu Wenjing, all of whom have the courage to be unstoppable. Shi Siming immediately gave Li Riyue a death order, "Li Guangbi is stationed on flat ground,

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and tonight, you will lead five hundred heavily armored cavalry to capture him, and if not, bring him to him." At this time, Li Guangbi was also arranging an action plan for Yong Xihao, the tooth general.

"The thief generals Gao Hui and Li Riyue are very brave, Shi Siming will definitely send them to rob the camp tonight. Thou shalt not engage them at war, for if the enemy surrenders, bring them to me. ”

Then, Li Guangbi led the army back to Ha Duong. Li Riyue led the cavalry to Yeshuidu, but did not see Li Guangbi, and learned that Li Guangbi was not in the camp, Li Riyue really dismounted and surrendered to the Tang army. Under the performance of Lee Kwang-pil,

He was awarded the post of General Jinwu by the imperial court, and soon Gao Hui, a fierce general under Shi Siming's account, also surrendered to the Tang army. Everyone was puzzled and asked Li Guangbi the reason, and Li Guangbi said in one word,

"Shi Siming was defeated again and again, and he desperately wanted to fight me in the field. Now I have heard that I have set up camp on flat ground, and I will definitely send a fierce man to attack him, and I will definitely give the order that I will die if I fail. Li Riyue learned that I was not in the camp,

If you catch Yong Xihao and go back, you will inevitably die, and there is no second way to go except surrender. Gao Hui's reputation has always been above Li Riyue, and when he heard that Li Riyue was treated like this by the imperial court, of course he was tempted.

It is a natural thing to surrender to the Tang army", everyone suddenly realized that they admired Li Guangbi so much.

The Tang army was assembled under the city of Huaizhou, and the Danshui was poured into the city, and the rebels were quite tenacious, and the Tang army was difficult to break through for a while. Li Guangbi started a tunnel war again, and ordered Hao Tingyu to enter through the tunnel.

Get the rebel command, then sneak up to the tower and open the gates. The Tang army took the opportunity to attack, rushed in, captured several thief generals such as An Taiqing and Yang Xizhong, and sacrificed them to Taimiao, and Huaizhou was recovered.

The banner of Datang is flying high.

Shi Siming was defeated repeatedly, so he wanted to lure the Tang army into a field battle, and he sent spies to spread the news that the soldiers were all Yan people, and they wanted to return after a long battle, and now was a good opportunity for a decisive battle.

Shaanzhou Guanjun Rong made Yu Chao Enxin believe it and reported to Tang Suzong many times, and Tang Suzong ordered Li Guangbi to recover Luoyang. Li Guangbi was sober-minded and explained the situation to the emperor, "The thief is still sharp, and he can't enter lightly", Li Guangbi's general servant Gu Huai'en made meritorious contributions, and echoed Yu Chaoen's suggestion, Li Guangbi had no choice but to fight.

Li Guangbi asked Fugu Huai'en to rely on the mountain to set up a formation, and Fugu Huai'en was good at fighting with long cavalry, so he set up a formation on the plain. Li Guangbi was uneasy in his heart, "According to the danger, you can advance or retreat; The plains are arrayed, and once they lose, the whole army will be annihilated", Fu Gu Huaien was stubborn and rejected his proposal.
