[During the An Lushan Rebellion, Li Long basically wanted the crown prince Li Heng to take over the throne, but in fact, the Ma Weiyi mutiny, and the crown prince Li Heng was the mastermind behind the scenes, which made Tang Xuanzong suffer a big blow.

After Li Longji and Li Heng parted ways at Ma Weiyi, Li Longji went south to Sichuan, and Li Heng went north to clean up the remnants of the defeated army. Shortly thereafter, Li Heng succeeded to the throne in Lingwu and honored Xuanzong Li Longji as the emperor. 】

After seeing that the mastermind behind the scenes was not himself but the crown prince Li Heng, Chen Xuanli suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Hengze's face turned pale at this moment.

"It's over." Li Heng muttered to himself.

This is good, Li Longji has been guarding against Li Heng all the time, and now it has been revealed that Li Heng will plan a mutiny in the future, so how can Li Longji let him go?

[Perhaps because Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change created a precedent, throughout the Li Tang Dynasty, the relationship between the king's father and son was always very delicate.

Once the princes become princes, they will have to live a life of trembling and walking on thin ice. And the king was always afraid that his children would usurp his throne, and he was always very wary of them. 】

"Blame me!" Li Shimin's face was not very good-looking, and he also knew that he did seem to have a bad head.

[After the Ma Weiyi mutiny was quelled, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji continued to flee to the southwest.

The people stopped on the road and tried to ask Li Longji to stay and lead the people in a crusade against the traitors.

Li Longji was helpless, and in the end only allocated 2,000 men to the crown prince Li Heng, asking him to stay and preside over the military and quell the rebellion.

The left-behind officials in Shuofang Town persuaded Li Heng to be the emperor in order to command the whole country, so in July of the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756 AD), Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu for Tang Suzong. 】

"! That's how I became the emperor??? Li Longji was dumbfounded, he just wanted to avoid the military disaster, why did he lose the throne in a daze?

Watching the video, he just wanted Li Heng to stay behind him, why did Li Heng suddenly become emperor? How dare he call himself the emperor, "When I go back, I will abolish this rebellious prince!" ”

Li Heng smiled bitterly and said, "My father will definitely not be able to spare me when he comes back. Su Shangshen, you have made me miserable this time! ”

[The Tang Dynasty called Chang'an Xijing, Luoyang as Tokyo, and the capital was located in Xijing Chang'an.

After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the rebels soon captured the eastern capital of Luoyang.

An Lushan saw the Que Zunxiong of Luoyang Palace, and he was eager to become emperor.

In the first month of the second year, An Lushan claimed the title of Emperor Xiongwu, the country name Yan, Jianyuan Shengwu, and he named his son An Qingxu as the king of Jin, and An Qinghe as the king of Zheng.

Ren Daxi was martyred as the left minister, Zhang Tongru was the right minister, Yan Zhuang was the imperial historian, and hundreds of officials were also set up.

After the loss of Tongguan, before An Lushan arrived in Chang'an, the people and the people in the palace who stayed behind began to cry and flee.

The treasures abandoned by the Prime Minister's House were countless, and the unscrupulous people fought in groups for property, and the entire Chang'an City turned into a purgatory on earth.

[After An Lushan arrived in Chang'an, because he resented that his son An Qingzong who stayed in Chang'an was killed, he took more than 100 people, including the emperor's close subordinate Huo Guo's eldest princess, the concubines of the kings, and the sons-in-law, all of whom were executed to sacrifice An Qingzong.

Those who followed the Son of Heaven were also exterminated by their clansmen. 】

[After Tang Suzong Li Heng ascended the throne, he tried to recover the two capitals, so he ordered the only imperial army that could still fight against the rebels, Guo Ziyi's division.

In August, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi led more than 50,000 infantry and cavalry from Hebei to Lingwu.

At this time, the new imperial court had just been established, and the soldiers were outnumbered, and they had no combat power and fighting spirit.

It was only after Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi's whole army and Li Heng converged that the military voice of the imperial court was reinvigorated, the momentum of rejuvenation was formed, and the people and officials felt that there was hope for the restoration of the country. 】

"There are few people around Emperor EMMM, and Guo Ziyi has an army of 50,000"

"I have a bold idea."

"This is exactly what is the biggest difference between Guo Ziyi and you!"

[After Guo Ziyi arrived, even if Li Hengdang of Tang Suzong appointed Guo Ziyi as the secretary of the military department and the Pingzhangshi (equivalent to the prime minister) of the Tongzhong Shumen, he still served as the governor of the Lingzhou Metropolitan Prefecture and the envoy of the Shuofang Army, which could give him great power in both military and political aspects. 】

[Li Heng inspected the Sixth Army and saw the grand military appearance, and his confidence rose a lot.

Later, Prime Minister Fang Po also wanted to take the opportunity to make some military achievements, so he asked to lead 10,000 troops, and he was the commander to crusade against the thieves and recover Chang'an.

The emperor usually trusted Fang Po very much, and when he saw that he took the initiative to ask for help, he agreed to his request.

However, when the army led by Fang Po drove to Chen Tao, they were defeated by the thieves, and the soldiers were completely lost.

The imperial court had just raised the fighting spirit to crusade against the rebels and regain the lost territory, but it didn't want to lose a big battle in the first battle, and the central army of the imperial court directly lost half of it.

Now it's good, the strength of the imperial court army is weaker, but if the Shuo Fang army has any other ideas, the new imperial court composed of Li Heng and others may be in danger. 】

[Fortunately, Guo Ziyi is not the kind of wolf ambitious character, not only did he not have any dissenting intentions, but he still took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country and recovering the Tang Dynasty. 】

[Li Heng was eager to win, he knew that it was difficult to recover Chang'an, Tongguan, Luoyang and other places with only himself and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Shuofang army, so he borrowed 150,000 troops from Hui with the shameless condition of "the day of Kecheng, the land and Shishu will return to Tang, and the golden hanging and women will all return to Hui".

In addition, Li Heng also appointed his son Li Jiao as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Guo Ziyi as the deputy marshal.

However, Li Heng also knows Li Jiao's catties and taels, and he knows that Li Jiao is only worthy of being a nominal marshal at most. So he earnestly instructed Guo Ziyi to go all out, not only to recover the lost territory and destroy the rebels, but also to save his son's life and earn some war merits by the way

Guo Ziyi was not dissatisfied, he replied: "The ministers should break the cauldron and sink the boat, do not destroy the rebels, and apologize for their crimes with death!" ”】

"How do I feel that this Li Heng is not a good thing?"

"Tang Suzong was able to recover the Tang Dynasty, completely relying on Guo Ziyi, and he himself was just a bastard at best."

"Tang Suzong's reputation in later generations is not very good, but that's just a matter of ability, it's not that he has a bad heart."

[After the army set off, Guo Ziyi learned a lesson from the defeat of the Fang Guan, and believed that in order to recover the two capitals, it was necessary to first capture the important Tongguan. Then attack Shaanzhou, defeat the rebels between Tong and Shaanxi, cut off the back road of the rebels, and then take Chang'an directly.

Tang Suzong Li Heng agreed to Guo Ziyi's suggestion, and he ordered the Tang army to fight bravely according to Guo Ziyi's military deployment. 】

[At that time, the Tongguan guard would be Cui Qianzhe.

After Guo Ziyi came to Tongguan, he broke the thieves, and Cui Qianzhe retreated to Puzhou to defend it.

At this time, Yongle Wei Zhao Fu, Hedong Sihu Han Man, Situ Xu Jiong, Zongzi Li Zangfeng and others were imprisoned in Puzhou by thieves, and the four conspired to wait for Wang Shi to come as internal responses.

and Guo Ziyi attacked Puzhou, Zhao Fu and others killed the thieves defending the city, and opened the city gate to welcome Guo Ziyi into the city.

Cui Qianhu fled to Anyi again, and the people of Anyi pretended to surrender, and when Cui Qianku's army entered the city gate halfway through, the hanging gate on the city fell, cutting off the thieves.

Cui Qianzhe was lucky, he had not entered the city gate at that time, so he was able to escape and flee east.

Guo Ziyi's army destroyed all the way, and soon recovered Yongfengcang in Shaanxi County, so that there were no more thieves and robbers between Tong and Shaanxi, and the support channel of the rebels was completely cut off. 】
