[An Qingxu's troops were defeated and fled, and the imperial court, also known as Guo Ziyi, led the army to continue the pursuit to Xiangzhou (Yecheng).

Xu Shuji, Dong Qin, Wang Sili and Hedong soldiers and horses envoy Xue Jianxun led the troops one after another, An Qingxu collected the remnants of the rebel army and fought with the official army in Chou Sigang again, and was defeated, losing more than 30,000 people again.

An Qingxu retreated into the city to hold on, Guo Ziyi and others besieged Yecheng, and then led Zhangshui to flood the city.

Although the city could not be broken, the city was trapped and cut off from food, and even cannibalism occurred because of this, which shows the tragic situation of the war. 】

[An Qingxu was in a desperate situation and had to send someone to Shi Siming for help.

Shi Siming understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so he sent 300,000 troops to rescue Yecheng. 】

[In order to crusade against An Qingxu, Tang Suzong appointed Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, Wang Sili, the envoy of the Guannei Jiedu, Li Siye of the Beiting Xingying Jiedu, Lu Jiong the envoy of the Xiangdeng Jiedu, Ji Guangchen of the Jingnan Jiedu, Cui Guangyuan of the Henan Jiedu, Xu Shuji of the Huapu Jiedu, and Li Huan of the Xingping Jiedu, a total of nine Jiedu envoys, led an army of 600,000 to go, intending to fight and do their best.

However, Li Heng did not set up a marshal because Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were both the fathers of the country, so he did not set up a marshal, and only used the eunuch Yu Chaoen to congratulate the military appearance. 】

"And the mud is going to be a problem."

"There's going to be a problem with this! It's better to just dispatch Guo Ziyi. ”

"Soldiers are not expensive, but Li Heng doesn't understand this truth."

Sure enough, as everyone thought, something happened to the officers and soldiers.

[With the strength of the nine-knot envoy, theoretically it is possible to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

However, this group of coalition forces is numerous, but the dragons are leaderless, and the generals fight separately and do not belong to each other.

Yu Chaoen is the highest official who supervises and manipulates the Nine Sections Envoy, but he doesn't know the art of war at all, he doesn't know how to use soldiers, and he is foolish. 】

[Shi Siming sent troops from Weizhou to aid An Qingxu.

Shi Siming led the army to fight, Li Guangbi, Wang Sili, Xu Shuji, and Lu Jiong fought with Shi Siming first, and the two sides were evenly matched, and Lu Jiong was injured and withdrew from the battle.

Guo Ziyi led his troops behind, and before he could set up the formation, a sudden strong wind broke out, blowing sand and pulling trees, and the sky and earth were dark.

The Tang army and the rebels were all shocked, and they abandoned their troops to fight the heavy battle, the Tang army retreated to the south and the rebels retreated to the north, and the Tang army units were returned one after another.

Guo Ziyi retreated to Heyang, and Suzong Li Heng appointed Guo Ziyi as the commander of the eastern capital and the marshal of the camp in Tokyogi, Shannan Dongdao, Henan and other provinces.

Guan Junrong Xuanwei made Yu Chaoen always jealous of Guo Ziyi, so he took the opportunity to put the responsibility for Xiangzhou's defeat on Guo Ziyi, and slandered in front of Su Zong.

Tang Suzong Li Heng did not know right from wrong, believed it to be true, recalled Guo Ziyi to Beijing, appointed Zhao Wang Li as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and Li Guangbi as the deputy marshal to lead Shuo Fangjiedu envoy, thus depriving Guo Ziyi of military power. 】

[Guo Ziyi's career is not smooth, and it can even be said that she has been framed by villains many times, but Guo Ziyi still focuses on the overall situation and is loyal to the court, and she has not been depressed or depressed.

However, without Guo Ziyi's Datang, the combat power began to plummet. 】

[In February of the second year of Shangyuan (761 AD), Li Guangbi, Fugu Huaien and other troops were defeated in Bishan, and Shi Siming captured Luoyang again.

In February of the first year of Baoying (762 A.D.), Li Guozhen, the commander of the Shuofang army, and Deng Jingshan, the commander of Hedong Jiedu, were killed one after another. The imperial court was afraid that these two armies would unite with the rebels, so they re-appointed Guo Ziyi as the camp of Shuofang, Hezhong, Beiting, Lu, Yi, Ze, Qin and other prefectures, and also served as the deputy marshal of Xingping, Dingguo and other armies. 】

[At that time, Tang Suzong Li Heng was seriously ill and did not see hundreds of officials.

Guo Ziyi pleaded: "The old minister accepts the appointment and will die in the field. If you don't see Your Majesty, you can't look away from death. ”

Only then did Li Heng order someone to invite Guo Ziyi into the bedroom, and instructed: "All the affairs in Hedong are entrusted to you." ”

Guo Ziyi shed tears and said goodbye.

He led his army to his residence in Jiangzhou, and the first thing he did was to capture Wang Yuanzhen, the thief leader who killed the commander Li Guozhen, and dozens of others, and correct the law in public, uphold righteousness, and curb evil as a punishment.

Zhang Yunjing, the general of Taiyuan, also followed Guo Ziyi's example and captured the head of the thief, and since then, the military discipline of the officers and soldiers in Zhuzhen has been solemn, and the military prestige has been restored. 】

[In April of the second year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, Daizong Li Yu ascended the throne, and the eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen supported Daizong's accession to the throne and made meritorious contributions to control the government.

He was suspicious of the old ministers, and he took strict precautions against Guo Ziyi, the optimus jade pillar of the Tang Dynasty, so he asked Daizong to request the removal of Guo Ziyi's military power and recalled him to Chang'an to manage the affairs of Suzong's mausoleum.

After Guo Ziyi returned to Beijing, he wrote 20 volumes of Suzong's edict to him and dedicated it to Daizong, so that he could gain insight into his loyalty to the country and relieve his suspicions.

After reading it, Dai Zong replied: "I don't know my morality, which makes the minister suspicious, and I am deeply ashamed, and I hope not to think about it." ”

At that time, the leader of the rebel army, Shi Chaoyi, was still entrenched in Luoyang, and the imperial court sent Li Shi, the king of Yong, as the marshal to lead the army to conquer.

Daizong wanted to take Guo Ziyi as his deputy marshal, but it happened that Yu Chaoen and Cheng Yuanzhen killed the minister Pei Mao and others to disrupt the government, so Guo Ziyi's appointment was shelved. 】

[After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, there were many internal contradictions in the Tang society, internal and external troubles, and many holes.

However, one wave of flattening and one wave of rising another.

Due to the need to crusade against the rebels in the north, the armies in the west were massively withdrawn.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Tibetans penetrated deep into the interior and invaded on a large scale, and even occupied more than a dozen prefectures west of Fengxiang and north of neighboring prefectures in Shaanxi.

Until he occupied Mukden, he was about to fight under the city of Chang'an, so frightened that Daizong Li Yu fled to Shaanzhou overnight for refuge.

The Tibetan army occupied Chang'an, and they established Li Chenghong, the Guangwu king of the Tang dynasty, as emperor and his ruling tool.

The Tibetan army plundered in Chang'an and other places, and looted the prosperous Chang'an area. 】

"This Chang'an City is really full of disasters and difficulties!"

"The incompetent emperor has harmed the people of my Tang Dynasty after all."

[Li Yu saw that there was nothing to be done, so he hurriedly issued an edict to worship Guo Ziyi as the deputy marshal of Guannei.

When Guo Ziyi received the edict, there were only 20 cavalrymen, and he went all the way from Luoyang to Wuguan to collect more than 4,000 stragglers.

When they arrived at Lantian in Shaanxi, the divisions of the kings of all walks of life arrived one after another.

In order to go to the national disaster together, snow the national shame, and recover the capital, all the armies expressed their willingness to accept Guo Ziyi's unified command. 】

"That's right!"

"Snakes can't do without heads, birds don't fly without wings, and these people really have to suffer losses to have a long memory."

"Alas, if you always let an old man go back and forth, won't your Li family's conscience hurt?"

[After Guo Ziyi analyzed the situation that the enemy was strong and I was weak, and the enemy was outnumbered, he adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west and bluffing.

He sent Sun Quanxu, the general of the Yulin Army, to lead two hundred light cavalry to the north of Lantian City, beating drums and shouting during the day, and lighting torches at night, pretending to march to the east of Lantian City to contain the Tubo forces.

Secretly, Guo Ziyi personally led the main force to kill the west of Lantian City.

At the same time, he sent Wang Fu, the general of the forbidden army, to infiltrate Chang'an and secretly connect with the young heroes in the capital as an internal response.

After some deployment, the Tang army began to attack, directly attacking Lantian.

The Tubo soldiers first rushed straight to the east of Lantian City, but they pounced, and then they knew that they had fallen for the tricks of the Tang army, and they were immediately frightened and panicked.

At this time, the internal response in the capital shouted one after another: "Guo Linggong is leading the army here!"

The Tibetan soldiers were embattled, left without a fight, and fled in a hurry.

In the end, only fifteen days after the fall of Chang'an, it was regained by Guo Ziyi. 】
