"Now the general is outside the city, quickly lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome the general into the city."

Compared with before, Zhe Muyu is still Zhemu Yu, but this time, Zhe Muyu's voice is high-pitched, loud, even, and loud, and it clearly enters the ears of every soldier who is under the city wall or tower.

The city wall, which was still a little noisy, suddenly became extremely quiet, and the sound of cursing and noise stopped abruptly.

Most people's eyes looked at Zhi Muyu and the cavalry not far behind Zhi Muyu, as if they were looking for the figure of the legendary General Guo.

A small number of soldiers of the Yicheng Army, to be precise, dozens of guards around Yuan Zi, looked at their own Jiedu envoy Yuan Zi.

However, at this moment, Yuan Zi gave them two simple gestures.

After two gestures, dozens of guards around him understood, and either took out the bows and crossbows they carried, or stepped aside and took up two eight-bull crossbows.

And Yuan Zi, after giving the instructions, stared at the cavalry outside the city with his eyes, but his face was full of complicated expressions.

More than a month ago, when the Eastern Expeditionary Army was passing by, in order to see Guo Rong Yuan Zi, who led the army to cross the border, he Yuan Zi was eager to give Guo Rong a kowtow.

As a result, the Eastern Expeditionary Army spent three days in Zhengzhou, taking away the cavalry of the Yicheng Army stationed in Zhengzhou, taking away the war horses, and even requisitioning a lot of grain and grass, but they did not see any of them.

At the beginning, the military academies of the Changying Army used various reasons to prevaricate Yuan Zi at the beginning, and when they got to the back, they didn't even cover it up at all, as long as they saw Yuan Zi, it was a direct sentence, and the general was gone.

However, what he didn't know was that Guo Rong used it to attract various forces head-on, and Guo Rong himself was not in the army......

As a result, he couldn't ask for it at the time, but now, Guo Rong took the initiative to appear in Zhengzhou, took the initiative to appear under the city of Zhengzhou, and asked to open the door to enter the city.

However, now, Yuan Zi was unwilling to let Guo Rong enter the city, and he didn't even want to hear the news of Guo Rong's arrival.

In fact, if it was possible, Yuan Zi didn't want anyone who didn't belong to him to enter the city of Zhengzhou.

Before the rebels and the Tang Dynasty went to war, although he survived in the cracks and looked a little aggrieved, in the final analysis, he was also a feudal official, the emperor of the soil on the territory of Zhengzhou and Huazhou.

In just one month, the situation and situation have changed.

Many things, people are watching it, and many things are irretrievable for the sake of now, but seriously speaking, Yuan Zi also thinks that he has suffering.

This time, the Hebei rebels are menacing, which is very reminiscent of the Anshi Rebellion 50 years ago.

At that time, the army of the three towns of Hedong, Fanyang and Pinglu under An Lushan also came in a mighty way, sweeping the entire Central Plains.

First break the Central Plains, then occupy Luoyang, break through Tongguan, and occupy Chang'an.

From Hebei to Henan, from Jianghuai to Guanzhong, the rebels were so strong that soldiers and horses from all walks of life did not dare to compete with them.

In that case, more than one person thought that Li Tang's more than 100-year-old reign was coming to an end, and Li Tang's dynasty was about to die under the rebellion of An Lushan and Shi Siming.

The fall of a large number of cities, especially Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west, led to the capture of a large number of officials.

Under the coercion and temptation of the vicious and vicious rebels, a large number of officials surrendered to the Anshi rebels, and partly because the officials persecuted by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong even took the initiative to join An Lushan's Dayan.

However, what everyone never dreamed of was that Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and Ge Shuhan were either killed or defeated under the remote command of Xuanzong, and in the Eastern Capital, Chang'an was captured in succession, and Datang looked completely hopeless.

The Ma Weiyi mutiny occurred, Yang Yuhuan was killed, Yang Guozhong was killed, the deaf Xuanzong Li Longji abdicated, and Suzong ascended the throne with the support of Shuofang's army.

Immediately afterwards, Suzong recalled the prodigy Ming Minister Li Mi, reused the Shuofang army generals led by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and transferred a large number of elites from Hexi, Beiting, and Anxi, which were the only ones that could compete with the Hebei rebels.

With the efforts of a large number of famous generals such as Li Mi, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Li Siye, the Tang Dynasty, which had fallen into a desperate situation, was pulled back from the death line.

With the appointment of a large number of famous generals, the elite of Hexi, Anxi, and Beiting returned, and Jianghuai's money and grain arrived, saving Datang little by little, and it took a full six years to completely quell the Anshi Rebellion.

Although after Anshi, the weak imperial court was unable to take the feudal towns in various places under the control of the imperial court, but at least the entire Tang Dynasty was restored to the control of the imperial court at least nominally.

And at that time, those officials who took refuge in the Anshi puppet court were brutally and bloodily liquidated, but those who resisted desperately were finally rewarded, such as Zhang Xun, who had been defending Suiyang for half a year and won an opportunity for Datang.

More than 50 years have passed since the Anshi Rebellion, but the experience and lessons of the Anshi Rebellion are still there, and even the veterans who participated in the Anshi Rebellion are still alive, such as Tan Zhong, a veteran of Lu Long who once fought with Guo Rong.

For Yuan Zi, who was originally a wall-to-wall grass, the situation is even more confusing, and the road ahead is even more confused and chaotic.

The Hebei rebels are powerful, at least three percent larger than the Anshi rebels in size, and there are also the Tubo people on the western front, so the odds of victory are very high.

However, because the rebels have a strong force on paper and a high victory rate, this is the capital that leads to them not having refuge at all.

With the land of these two states and 60,000 soldiers and horses, after surrendering on their own initiative, they will either be swallowed in one bite or be at the end of the rebels, and they will not be taken seriously at all.

It is obviously not feasible to defect to the rebels, or the interests are not big enough, although the imperial court is dangerous, but no one dares to say that Li Tang really has no chance of winning, just like Luoyang and Chang'an were captured in succession, no one thought that the imperial court could turn the tables.

The Anshi Rebellion was also very dangerous, and after carrying the most dangerous situation, all the loyalists were overrewarded, so it was also a way of thinking to completely fall to the imperial court.

However, it also depends on the person who takes refuge in the imperial court, and it is not half a dime to take refuge in a small Karami, and it may become cannon fodder against the rebels.

In Yuan Zi's view, Guo Rong is the most suitable candidate for refuge, but he can't see Guo Rong.

So, Yuan Zi, who was originally a grass on the wall, chose the most suitable way to mobilize all the resources and troops that could be mobilized to Zhengzhou and Huazhou.

Use the mobilized troops, grain, grass, personnel, and wealth to defend the two fortified cities, and give full play to the style of the grass on the wall.

Although he said that he would stick to it, Yuan Zi knew very well that it was just a description here.

According to common sense, before the decisive battle between the two armies, they will invariably remove the hidden dangers, so as to have a quiet decisive battle.

In front of him, the Hebei rebels are pressing the border, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are also gathering, and the grass on the wall in the middle of the battlefield must be the first to be killed at this time.

However, Yuan Zi believes that the reason why the grass on the wall will be killed is that their foundation is not deep enough and they are not fully prepared!

If they are well prepared, whether it is the rebels in Hebei or the counterinsurgency army in the imperial court, they will not easily risk losing their troops and losing their generals, risk the possibility of being attacked by the other party, and attack the fortified city with defensive facilities that outweighs the losses.

Similarly, Yuan Zi didn't know Guo Rong's deployment, nor did he know the plans of the Hebei rebels, but he knew one thing, whether it was the Hebei rebels or the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, they were the elite of the elite.

After a decisive battle of this scale, the two sides are likely to fight the extremely miserable battle of Xiangji Temple, and whoever is the victor after the battle is bound to suffer heavy losses.

When the time comes, as the grass on the wall, he has not offended both sides, but also preserved his strength and strength, and he can still be a maverick and stable wallgrass.

Although he might make the civilians and clans on his territory dissatisfied, Yuan Zi didn't care.

In the case of the pressure of the soldiers, all dissatisfaction will inevitably be suppressed, and when the battle between the two sides is over, it is good to replenish his soldiers and clans after getting the most sufficient benefits from the victor.

It can only be said that Yuan Zi is a smart person, but Yuan Zi is unlucky because he is too smart.

Originally, everything was as Yuan Zi expected.

The imperial court is indeed prepared, so the direction of the imperial court has not collapsed, but is methodically mobilizing personnel, troops, and food and grass.

Their Zhengzhou and Huazhou have become the battlefield between the Hebei rebels and the imperial court soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of the Yicheng Army and the Zhengzhou and Huazhou clans are extremely dissatisfied with themselves, but the rebels are cruel and tyrannical, and they have come to the city, under the threat of the rebels, everyone must be strictly defended even if they are not satisfied, and even hate themselves.

If this situation continues, when the war between the two sides begins, his worth will skyrocket.

And the more fierce the battle, the higher the importance and the higher the value.

At that time, his identity will no longer be a soil emperor, but will be promoted and raised, become a general manager, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and go to the peak of life.

Thinking about the trajectory of his life plan, Yuan Zi was even a little excited.

However, at this time, the rebels suddenly withdrew!

The withdrawal of troops without warning made Yuan Zi stunned, and after losing external pressure, the situation in the city began to deteriorate, but fortunately, there was still a collapse, as long as the court and the rebels fought a decisive battle, he would still be a firm wall grass, and at the very least, it should be a hard toothpick.

Then, while waiting, Guo Rong came......

Guo Rong not only came, but also sent a little guy to a farce, so that everyone knew that Guo Rong was coming, and at the same time, the actual situation in Zhengzhou was vividly exposed.

What's more, Guo Rong did not lead the army.

Above the city, under the city wall, all the soldiers of the Yicheng Army can see that there are only a few hundred cavalry outside the city, which makes it difficult for Yuan Zi to fabricate all this as the imperial army to quell the rebellion without basis, after all, the soldiers of the Yicheng Army are not fools.

The external strength and middle cadres were vividly exposed, and he could not fan the righteous soldiers and the common enemies of the big clan, Yuan Zi fell into an extremely embarrassing situation almost instantly.

Above the city, Yuan Zi can only hope for one thing, Guo Rong came to quell the rebellion with a will!

Therefore, when the cronies around him looked at him, he chose to let the cronies prepare with strong bows and crossbows.

He even fantasized that after revealing his identity, Guo Rong directly read out a holy decree asking him to surrender immediately.

As long as the holy decree comes out, don't even let him read it, he can take this as an opportunity to let his cronies suddenly use cold arrows, and it doesn't even matter if people die or not, as long as he confirms the identity of the thief, he can completely drag the entire Zhengzhou City and the entire Yicheng Army into hell.

Yuan Zi thought perfectly, but the little doll outside the city who thought that the milk was not dry seemed to know what he thought, and directly gave him a slap in the face.

"Now the general is outside the city, quickly lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome the general into the city."

There was no disguise, no disguise, and a sentence that could not be interpreted directly forced Yuan Zi into a desperate situation.

Not to mention anything else, Guo Rong's position can be the chief of the Henan Provincial Marching Army and the deposed envoy of Henan Province.

And these two positions make him have no capital to refuse.

Because he has not completely rebelled, although he has made a thorough wall, although he chose not to resist in the face of the rebels, his identity at this moment is still Tang Chen, and the identity of the Yicheng Army under his command is still the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, when he heard Zhi Muyu's shout, Yuan Zi was stunned, and when no one responded, everything seemed to be still.

However, Yuan Zi was stunned, but Zhi Muyu was not stunned, on the contrary, it strengthened his own confidence and judgment.

After waiting quietly for less than ten breaths, Zhi Muyu continued to drink.

This time the voice was still high-pitched and loud, but there was already a little impatience in the voice.

"What's the matter with you guys? Why isn't the door open yet? ”

There was no sound above the city.

"The general has been traveling for a long time and is preparing to enter the city to rest, what are you waiting for?"

Above the city, some began to wonder.

"In order to exonerate your gang, the general specially asked His Majesty for his will, and you will repay the general like this?"

Above the city, there was a small commotion, and soon whispering began.

In the Yicheng Army, where the illiteracy rate is more than 9 out of 5, not everyone can understand the meaning of Zhe Muyu's words at the first time, but there are always some smart people.

These smart people can easily understand why Guo Rong came alone at this time from the obviously dissatisfied and complaining expectations of Zhi Muyu.

Guo Rong knew that the Yicheng Army had become a wall-to-wall grass!

The emperor and the emperor also know it probally!

The emperor and the emperor are furious!

Maybe Guo Rong is also very dissatisfied!

Whether he is satisfied or not, whether he is sincere or not, but Guo Rong finally chose to advise the emperor and the emperor, instead of falling into the ground!

No matter what Guo Rong's purpose is, but Guo Rong finally asked for a pardon for the crimes of the Yicheng Army before!

No matter what the Yicheng Army did before, now the Yicheng Army is innocent, and it is still a good Tang Army of the Tang Dynasty!

No matter what his identity was before, now he is a serious Tang people, a serious Tang army, why should he turn away Guo Rong, the general who exonerated them and helped them restore their identity?

Zhe Muyu's words fell, and Yuan Zi's face was like ashes.

Looking around, in addition to dozens of personal guards, more and more Yicheng soldiers looked at him, and Yuan Zi, who was already wise, knew that he was dead!

"Lower the drawbridge, open the gates, and welcome the general into the city!"

The next moment.

"Peng!"

The drawbridge over the moat was lowered, and the gates were opened at the same time.
