In the fourth year of Yuanhe, on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the 120,000 Hebei rebels led by Lu Long's army under the leadership of the famous Hebei general Tan Zhong began to confront the main force of the forbidden army led by Guo Rong, who arrived here in advance.

On the evening of the ninth day of the first month of September, the outposts of both sides were carried out, and the Hebei rebels were unfavorable.

On the 10th day of the first month of September, the absolute superiority of the army was used to completely surround the Changying army.

On September 11, after two days of psychological warfare, Tan Zhong quickly attacked with the advantage of the rebels' strength, and at the same time used the coerced civilians to completely disrupt Guo Rong's original plan.

The battle began with Foxiao, using the tens of thousands of Bianzhou people who were coerced, Tan Zhong forced the Changying army into a desperate situation.

In the face of adversity, the Changying Army, under the command of Guo Rong, made a desperate gamble and began to fight back.

Relying on the elite, discipline, and coordination of the Changying Army, as well as new weapons such as incendiary bombs, grenades, and black powder, the combination of infantry and cavalry was used to continuously cut through the four lines of defense arranged by Tan Zhong, and successfully reversed the situation.

As the battle formation collapsed and the soldiers dispersed, the Changying army began to push flat on the battlefield, killing the rebel soldiers left behind on the battlefield, and then continued to attack the rebel camps on the outskirts.

In this battle, Tan Zhong, a veteran who had fought in the Tang Dynasty for 50 years, was beheaded by Dong Jia, a cavalry general of the Changying Army, in front of the battle.

With the collapse of the situation, after knowing that the defeat was decided, Tan Zhong's Lu Long Junlang evacuated Zhen Bingliang in advance at the moment of defeat, and after abandoning the battlefield, abandoning the baggage, and abandoning the robe, he led more than 10,000 cavalry to quickly escape from the battlefield, becoming the only part of the entire rebel army that successfully escaped.

The battle began with the Foxiao rebels besieging the camp of the Changying army with tens of thousands of people in Bianzhou, and near dusk, the rebels were broken in the last camp on the periphery of the Changying army, and the remaining rebels completely surrendered.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, the Changying army finally turned defeat into victory, except for the nearly 10,000 cavalry taken by Zhen Bingliang, the 100,000 soldiers and horses under the veteran Tan Zhong were all wiped out.

In this battle, the Changying army beheaded more than 40,000, captured more than 50,000 Hebei rebels, solved more than 20,000 captured civilians, captured more than 6,000 horses, more than 200,000 grains and grass, and other equipment, armor, ordnance, and baggage.

On the side of the Changying Army, the direct losses of this battle were less than 3,000, and the number of dead and permanent battle losses did not even exceed 800, but the consumption of materials was extremely staggering.

More than 200 incendiary bombs, more than 600 stone bullets, more than 1,000 heavy crossbows, 2,000 modified explosive crossbows, more than 4,000 grenades of various types, and a total consumption of black powder more than 6,000 catties.

Although the results of the battle were extremely rich, and the proportion of direct battle losses was extremely disparity, this battle almost exhausted the materials that the Changying Army had worked hard to accumulate for nearly a month.

The whole day of fierce battle was completely over, but the follow-up work was not easy for Guo Rong at all.

Because the number of their own family is too small, only less than three-thirds of the opponent, although the reversal of the Jedi counterattack was realized, but the battle was finally a rout.

The defeat battle is indeed very cool, but if you want to gather all the rebels from Hebei and turn it into another impossible task, this means that there will be countless rebels who will collapse and disperse to the entire Central Plains after the defeat, which is destined to leave a huge hidden danger to the entire Central Plains.

It's just that the number of the Changying Army is far less than that of the opponent, and their side is still under siege when the battle begins, and the Changying Army already has nearly 30,000 rescued civilians who need to be treated after the battle, and more than 50,000 rebel prisoners who need to be guarded.

In addition, although the daytime reversal was won, the infantry and cavalry of the Changying army were already exhausted from the daytime battle, and the number of rebels fleeing frantically was too amazing.

When he was not sure whether there was any danger, Guo Rong did not dare to rashly divide his troops to search for the traces of the rebels, so Guo Rong was helpless about this.

It was night, in the dead of night, after dealing with military affairs, Guo Rong habitually stood under the moonlight, quietly reviewing.

For Guo Rong, today's battle can be called the most wonderful battle since he joined the army, no matter from which point of view, his command has reached a peak, for the process, for the result, Guo Rong is very satisfied.

If there is any unforgettable lesson that this war has brought to Guo Rong, it is that there must not be too few people in war, no matter what.

Even if he doesn't participate in the war, even if he just waving the flag and shouting, its value is immeasurable, if Wu Shaoxiong comes to his side earlier, he has the opportunity to change his plan earlier, and the two support armies can arrive on the battlefield when the war starts today......

The combat effectiveness of the Changying Army is indeed strong, and the power of black powder and incendiary grenades is indeed enough, so under extremely unfavorable circumstances, the Changying Army defeated more than 100,000 Hebei elites.

The battle was won, but this battle was indeed too bitter and too suspenseful!

But if Tan Zhong has a little understanding of his gunpowder, he will definitely be himself who will die miserably at that time.

Rao is like this, and the materials in his hands have basically been consumed.

Of course, the materials that Guo Rong mentioned are the materials that have a direct and decisive effect on the battlefield.

Strictly speaking, the Changying Army not only had stocks of grain, grass, supplies, armor, and blades, but also captured a lot from the hands of the rebels.

Not only these things, but even the crossbow of the Eight Ox Crossbow and the stone bullet of the trebuchet Guo Rong still have a lot of inventory in his hands.

However, in order to achieve the overwhelming situation of Mount Tai today, a wave of the opponent's psychological defense line was crushed, and under the saturation attack, the black powder in the inventory of the Changying army has been exhausted, and even the basic raw materials for the configuration of black powder are left.

If the main force of the rebels arrives at this time, then Guo Rong can really only retreat in the camp and defend ......

Fortunately, three days later, according to their readjusted strategy, the Xuanwu Army-Huaixi Army from Songzhou and the Lubei Army from Jiyin will arrive near the battlefield.

Their arrival can provide sufficient manpower and material support for the Changying Army, so that the tired Changying Army can get enough rest and recuperation time, so that the Changying Army's serious loss of strategic materials can be replenished......

In short, by that time, the situation of the Changying Army will change a lot.

At that time, the Changying Army could hand over to these two support armies, including the captured civilians, including the rebel captives, including the pursuit of the fleeing rebels, and so on.

In order to let his sons and daughters rest and rest, they can recover their energy and physical strength as much as possible, and at the same time, they can also reorganize the equipment of the equipment battalion and re-store the black powder in the firearms battalion.

When the state is almost restored, he can lead an army of more than 100,000 troops to the west and have a real decisive battle with the Hebei rebels under the city of Bianzhou.

After determining his train of thought, Guo Rong smiled and muttered softly.

"Besieged by Tan Zhong, the old guy, for two days, I'm afraid that father and son are in a hurry!"

As he spoke, Guo Rong returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, which was empty, picked up his pen, and wrote down the course of today's battle in the past few days, the results of the battle, his arrangements for the next few days, and the implementation of the decisive battle in Bianzhou, in duplicate.

One was sent to Chang'an, and one was sent to Chencang.

Regarding these two letters, in fact, the earliest origin is still at the beginning of the establishment of the Changying Army.

Where the Changying Army was built, Guo Rong stayed in the Forbidden Garden Barracks at every turn, which made the Emperor Li Xu, who was very concerned about the situation of the Changying Army, anxious.

After being reprimanded and reacting that he needed to give an explanation to his investor and boss, he had Guo Rong's daily experience and daily report.

Later, after Han Yu's support and improvement, in addition to the daily experience and daily summary, the plan and other contents were added, so Guo Rong's current report was formed.

Although so many years have passed, Guo Rong's habit has been retained, no matter where the person is, no matter what the environment is, as long as Li Yu is not by his side, Guo Rong will complete such a recital and send it to Chang'an.

Later, the Hebei rebels began to rebel, and Guo Rong led his army to take down the Wu brothers in Huaixi.

When Wu Shaoxiong heard that Guo Rong always maintained the habit of playing newspapers, and the Emperor Taishang never refused, the whole person was extremely surprised.

On the surface, Guo Rong needs to report his situation to the Emperor on a regular basis, but in fact, this is not a kind of secret music that only Guo Rong can enjoy.

Corresponding to others, they can only communicate with the emperor through public recitals, and secret recitals are undoubtedly an extremely private way, including the Tang Dynasty and even the entire feudal royal era, all of them are favored ministers among favored ministers, and important ministers among important ministers.

If the secret music still exists, a secret music like Guo Rong, which is similar to the situation of the daily newspaper, is unheard of, no matter which dynasty it is, the secret music of this nature can only be regarded as a point, the status is as stable as Mount Tai, and the power is extremely powerful.

And this point has also become one of the important reasons why Wu Shaoxiong is willing to accept Guo Rong's solicitation, after all, in the era of feudal dynasties where all power comes from the trust of the emperor, there are too many things that can be represented by having this thing.

】

In fact, Guo Rong even took out a report written to Li Yu and asked Wu Shaoxiong to help him see if he had any speech problems.

Seeing Guo Rong's crooked, dog-crawling font, clear regulations and well-layered content, this huge contrast gave Wu Shaoxiong a sense of insanity, after all, these two things are more or less put on a person, and this person feels a little wrong.

It's just that what Wu Shaoxiong doesn't know is that as a salted fish in his previous life, Guo Rong wrote the basic skills of writing daily newspapers on the computer......

At that time, Guo Rong was still muttering that he would write a daily newspaper every day in his last life, and when he got here, he still had to write a daily newspaper every day.

From Guo Rong's words, Wu Shaoxiong even heard a hint of helplessness and complaint, so he proposed that he could ghostwrite.

And when Wu Shaoxiong didn't expect it, after his suggestion was mentioned, Guo Rong directly hung up a complaining tone, and the emperor said that this newspaper can only be written by himself, and cannot be ghostwritten by others, so as to help Guo Rong practice calligraphy by the way.

It's just that there are some words that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional, at least at this moment, Wu Shaoxiong feels the impact from the soul.

Wu Shaoxiong didn't know if Guo Rong understood the true meaning of this report, but there were some things that could only be understood but not spoken, and Wu Shaoxiong couldn't break it directly.

As a result, Wu Shaoxiong made this suggestion to Guo Rong: It is not only the Emperor Taishang Li Yu who should keep the report, but also the current emperor Li Chun, the official emperor of the Tang Dynasty, should also enjoy this treatment.

Faced with Wu Shaoxiong's first serious suggestion to himself, Guo Rong naturally would not refuse, so he didn't think about it directly, and immediately changed the title slightly, in duplicate......

Guo Rong's operation made Wu Shaoxiong's scalp tingle, but as a result, Emperor Li Chun obviously did not refuse Guo Rong's daily newspaper full of loyalty.

In fact, Li Chun not only accepted it, but Li Chun was much more active than Li Chan, who was too lazy to reply to Guo Rong.

Since he began to report to Li Chun in July, Guo Rong has received a reply from Chang'an and the emperor himself every two or three or five days, in which Li Chun will comment, inquire or ask for advice on the contents of Guo Rong's report from time to time.

Even in the process of attacking Jiaodong, Li Chun's reply was never broken, and many orders from the Ministry of War were directly loaded into the emperor's reply, for example, the news that the Emperor Taishang personally led the army into Chencang was written in the emperor's letter.

However, Guo Rong did not expect that while he was waiting for reinforcements, he received a regular reply from the emperor, which should have been unremarkable.

So when Guo Rong received the letter, he didn't feel surprised at first, but when he saw the emperor and the content written in the letter, the whole person was directly stunned on the spot, and then tears fell, and after a long time, he slowly read the letter, and when the whole letter was read thoroughly, Guo Rong's face was already full of tears.

Guo Rong's scene, everyone in the military tent was collectively confused, and many people in front of them even crawled out of the pile of dead people directly from Xingqing Palace with Guo Rong, they couldn't understand Guo Rong's character anymore, and they cried inexplicably at this time, this is from the beginning of their acquaintance with the pot, and now it is unheard of, which can make Guo Rong lose his temper like this, the ghost knows what happened!

However, Guo Rong did not speak, and the others did not know what to do, so that there was silence in the entire camp for at least a quarter of an hour, until finally, the group would find Wu Shaoxiong, who had induced the civilians.

And after Wu Shaoxiong saw Guo Rong's appearance, Wu Shaoxiong's shock was no lower than that of those Guo Rong's subordinates, on the contrary, he felt an indescribable sadness from Guo Rong's state.

After a moment's moment, Wu Shaoxiong's attention shifted to Guo Rong's hand, which had been wetted on the letterhead, and then took the letter directly from Guo Rong's hand.

Seeing the two words from the pen, Guo Aiqing and Wu Shaoxiong already knew who this letter came from.

It was precisely because the line came from Li Chun that Wu Shaoxiong didn't understand what would happen, so much so that a guy like Guo Rong burst into tears.

To be honest, he didn't guess a certain possibility, but he didn't dare to believe it, shook his head hard, and drove all kinds of undeserved thoughts out of his mind.

After all, Wu Shaoxiong's current identity is no longer the elder of Fangzheng, but a close aide under Guo Rong, a general of the Tang Dynasty who ranks first in terms of fame, strength or real power.

Don't think about rebellion, if Guo Rong wants to do it, then the entire Chang'an should have completely fallen a long time ago.

With a wry smile helplessly, Wu Shaoxiong continued to look down until he saw the line of words.

The emperor is too great, martyrdom!

Hearing these words, Wu Shaoxiong was like five thunderbolts, and the whole person was directly stunned on the spot, although there were no tears, but the old fox was stunned on the spot......

After about three or five breaths, Wu Shaoxiong reacted to the expression of the above words.

It is written very clearly, the emperor is too great, martyred, not the emperor, he died!

Compared with Li Xuan, who rarely replies to Guo Rong, Li Chun almost always replies to every letter, and many of them are transferred to Guo Rong from Wu Shaoxiong's hands, so that now Wu Shaoxiong is very clear about Li Song's font, and it is definitely Li Chun's handwriting.

It seems that it is just a different expression, but there is an essential difference between these two words, and at this moment, Wu Shaoxiong thought of the sentence that this legendary **** scripture said......
