[After Suzong ascended the throne, there were two Wenchen who were reused by his subordinates.

In addition to the fake Zhuge Fang Xuan, there is also a real Zhuge Li Xu.

The fate of the loyal ministers during the Xuanzong period was generally similar, and Li Mi was no different.

Zhang Jiuling was very appreciative of Li Mi when he was in phase, and Yang Guozhong was very disgusted with Li Mi when he was in phase.

So just like Yan Zhenqing, Li Mi was kicked out of Chang'an by Yang Guozhong, and Li Mi also has a temper:

I'm not doing it!

Su Zong re-invited Lingwu to come out of the mountain after he took the throne, Li Mi was quite responsible, and the government affairs were called a diligent and conscientious one.

The preparation of books and documents, the promotion of generals, military and political strategies, and the alliance of the four parties all have to be done by Li Mi, and history calls him "more powerful than the prime minister".

Su Zong's imperial court, where there are only three or two big cats and small cats in Lingwu, can be said to be supported by Li Mi alone.

It's a pity that Li Mi wants to be Zhuge Liang, and Su Zong is not Uncle Liu Huang.

Chen Taoxian's defeat was Su Zong's willful action, Fang Xuan led 50,000 elite border troops to fight, and finally only brought back more than 4,000 people.

And with Fang Xuan, there were two worse news:

The first was the rebellion of Yongwang Li Xuan, and the second was the fall of the entire territory of Hebei.

Yongwang Li Lan's rebellion is very simple, and he still adheres to Li Tang's excellent style, you do it, how can I not do it?

Hebei is simpler, Suzong's accession to the throne made Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi have to withdraw from Hebei to make a pilgrimage, otherwise they may be classified as traitors.

As soon as Guo and Li left, Shi Siming, who was almost killed, felt that I could do it again!

Yan Zhenqing, a group of county soldiers under his command, was unable to support himself and had to withdraw from Hebei.

In the face of the gradual collapse of the current situation, Li Mi's advice to Li Heng is as follows:

Li Guangbi guarded Taiyuan, Guo Ziyi entered Feng Xu, divided the rebel army into two parts from the middle, north and south, so that it could not be connected, and then let go of Huayin, so that the rebels fell into the dilemma of defending Fanyang in the north and saving Chang'an in the west, and rushing back and forth within a thousand miles.

Li Mi's strategy is very similar to our tactics during the Anti-Japanese War:

First, compress the battlefield space, and then give full play to the 16-character mantra of guerrilla warfare: The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue.

In the end, concentrate superior forces and destroy the enemy's living forces.

But in Suzong Li Heng, after taking the medicine for two days, he felt that his condition was stable, and he began to feel bitter about the medicine.

The Book of the New Tang Dynasty records: The emperor did not listen.

Faced with King Yong, who wanted to be the emperor, and the chaos in Hebei, Li Heng decided to use the Shuofang Army and the Hedong Army in his hands to forcibly recover the two capitals, and in order to ensure success, he made two decisions:

ordered his son Li Yu, who later became Daizong, to marry Ye Hu, the prince of Hui, as brothers.

It was agreed with Hui Hui: "On the day of Kecheng, the land and Shishu will return to Tang, and the gold silk and children will return to Hui."

So, Hui sent troops. 】

"Is the Son of Heaven a thief?"

"The Son of Heaven is a thief!"

Li Shimin's roar echoed in the Manna Hall.

The attendants outside the hall flashed as far as they could, for fear of affecting themselves.

Inside the hall, Wei Zheng felt that he was sprayed with a spit star on the back of his head.

But Wei Zheng had no time to care about it at the moment, because everyone in the Ganlu Hall felt a deep shame:

The gold silk and children are all returned!

How dare this Li Heng decide like this!

Even if he takes Chang'an, what kind of face does this Li Heng have to sit on the throne of the Taiji Hall and be the emperor!

They followed Li Shimin through swords and swords, and the chaos ended in chaos, but they didn't let this Li Heng give away their children!

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly remembered Zhao Yishen, who was guarding the border pass and burying his bones in Gaochang.

I remembered that later generations called their dynasty a feudal society, and said that the essence of this society was cannibalism.

Li Shimin was not convinced before, but there is no way to refute it at this moment:

"The faint king misled the country and died in vain."

"Emperor Yong's traitorous children are given away."

"I'm ashamed!"

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth:

"What's the use of taking back Chang'an?"

"If you indulge in the people and plunder the people, the people will remember it, and the history will record it."

"Just as 1,300 years have passed since the Hereafter, the people of the Hereafter will not forget!"

Li Jing was also silent, he suddenly remembered that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing.

A bloody general who can still gather the remnants and fight to the death with the enemy after the bloody battle of Talas.

A white-bodied general who started from the military exploits of the exiles, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China still bravely took on great responsibilities.

Even if they survive to this moment, it will be difficult for them to live for a long time.

The words of guerrilla warfare and the elimination of living forces summed up by later generations are timeless to read, but the decision of Emperor Suzong can only be said to be overshadowed by comparison.

"Mare... It's extremely ugly. ”

Li Jing didn't dare to imagine the consequences of if the people of Chang'an learned of this agreement in advance:

Finally...... Who are the rebels?

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui suddenly lost their interest in recording at this moment.

The two of them stared blankly at the historical records quoted on the light curtain.

Both of them have gone through history, and they can only sigh when they see similar records of the previous dynasty before, but when such a thing happens to themselves and to their descendants who are not far away, it feels as if there is a thousand pounds of weight in an instant.

Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling, who was lost in his soul, and a bold thought suddenly popped up in his heart:

If the emperor is not benevolent, it will bring disaster to the world.

The selection and education of the crown prince, civil and military officials are not ......

No, no, no, when the later dynasties look at the disaster of our Tang Dynasty, they will definitely be alerted by this, or should they first look at the solution of the later dynasties?

For a while, Du Ruhui fell into a tangled mentality.

And Li Shimin also calmed down under Sun Simiao's persuasion.

In the end, it's just another death of the heart.

Sitting on the couch, Li Shimin laughed at himself:

I thought that Li Heng could make any achievements in this misdeeds, but it seemed that he still thought too much.

In that case, I might as well support the rebellious King of Eternity.

Li Shimin thought to himself.

As the picture on the light curtain slowly flickered, even if Li Shimin didn't want to watch it, he had to face the Chang'an Reconquest War, which was definitely a shame in his opinion.

[The battle of Tang to recover Chang'an, also known as the battle of Xiangji Temple.

In September, Guo Ziyi, deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, led the remaining troops of the three towns of Hedong, Shuofang and Hexi, as well as the troops of Khotan and Hui Zhuhu, totaling 150,000 soldiers and horses, and borrowed 4,000 elite cavalry, numbering 200,000, from Fengxiang to advance to Chang'an.

On the Tang army's side, with Li Siye as the front army, Guo Ziyi's middle army, and Wang Sili as the rear army, slowly advanced, and finally encountered the 100,000 Chang'an rebels in the north of Xiangji Temple.

At this time, the composition of the rebel army was already extremely complicated, including the border army of Fanyang Pinglu Second Town, which had been fighting from Hebei for more than a year, the elite who were captured and surrendered by the defeat of Geshuhan and Chen Taoxian, and the Liuhu Prefecture Zheqi who rebelled after An Lushan's army.

The battle of Xiangji Temple is essentially the following: the Tang Border Army against the Tang Border Army, and the elite against the elite.

So we can see that this extremely bloody battle has no bells and whistles and tactics, it is the purest confrontation and slashing.

The rebel general Li Guiren led his army to challenge, but was defeated by the Tang army, and the Tang army pressed in front of the rebel army.

The rebels counterattacked with all their might, the Tang army could not resist retreating, and the rebels took the opportunity to lead the cavalry into the formation with the intention of cutting through the front army of the Tang army, and the Tang army was panicked and defeated.

Li Siye, who had the name of a supernatural general in the former army, saw the rout of the army, and immediately shouted:

Don't bait the enemy today, the army will be left behind!

Immediately took off his battle robe, held the Mo knife and went out to fight, facing the cavalry who were riding on the horse and stepped on the formation, he roared, and the Mo knife cut down the men and horses, and killed dozens of horses in a row.

Li Siye's heroic posture helped the Tang army stabilize the front, and the rearranged Mo sword soldiers followed Li Siye to form a formation, breaking the enemy with the Mo sword and advancing like a wall.

"When the heir is the sword, everyone is broken"

As the former army, the Anxi army was invincible, and Guo Ziyi also led the Chinese army Shuofang army to press, and the rebels began to be defeated.

The leader of the rebel army, An Shouzhong, urgently ordered the Luluo River Elite Cavalry, which had been ambushed behind the Tang army's formation in advance, to attack the rear army Wang Sili's department.

However, he was discovered by Fugu Huaien, who led the Hui cavalry to wander further out, and then Fugu Huaien led the Hui cavalry to attack the rear of the river spirit cavalry, and the rebel cavalry was defeated again.

Subsequently, Li Siye led the Anxi Army and Fugu Huaien to charge and kill the rebels' flanks, intending to cooperate with the Chinese army Guo Ziyi to flank the rebels.

In a desperate situation, An Shouzhong and Li Guiren also led the rebels to fight back desperately, and both sides fought from morning to sunset, and each did not retreat.

In the end, the rebels were defeated, and led the remnants to flee back to Chang'an, and took the lead in starting the all-night raid.

At the cost of 70,000 killed, the Tang army beheaded 60,000 and captured 20,000, and then entered the city the next day to recover Chang'an.

The temple is surrounded by corpses, like a hell in Buddhism.

Normally, the elite army in the Cold Weapon Age can withstand a structural loss of 15%, which means that fifteen out of a hundred people can die without collapsing, and it can be called elite.

Because by the time that number is reached, the casualty rate in the team has already exceeded half.

And in this battle, the battle losses of the rebels reached sixty percent in one day, and the battle losses of the Tang army were also close to fifty percent.

It can be said that in this battle, both the Tang army and the rebel army could be called the super-first-class army in the world at that time.

This force is enough to defeat the Black Eaters or Byzantium, and it only takes one or two thousand to sweep the small countries of Central Asia.

But what is sighing is that this force that is enough to change the pattern of the world, outside Chang'an City, caught and fought against himself, and both perished. 】

Zhenguan monarchs and ministers all felt the heartache that penetrated into the bones.

They were aware of the regret of the Battle of Talas as the light curtain slowly recounted the regrets.

At this time, Datang seemed to be standing at a fork in the road that could touch the top of the world.

But it's a pity that in the end, this empire created by their own hands will never turn over as soon as they step into the abyss.

Li Shimin had already closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it anymore.

The light curtain shows the battle of Xiangji Temple made by later generations with painting techniques, and they imagined the scene.

Such an elite army is an army that can create a stronger empire, and an army that should defend the border and protect the people.

In this way, the meaningless and worthless died in Chang'annan.

What happened next? Li Heng is going to fulfill the contract, and the Hui cavalry will plunder Chang'an.

Among these soldiers lying on the ground, how many mothers and sisters are in this Chang'an City?

They fought desperately to save their families and shed their last drop of blood.

Do they know about the agreement reached between Li Heng and Hui Hui?

How did this Don become so ugly, so despised by him?

Li Shimin could not accept:

"Such a mistake must not be repeated!"
