After Zhao Ziliang received Xuanzong's imperial edict reply, he immediately sent someone to Fangcheng.
Within a few days, news came from Jiangdong that the rebellious King Yong Li Lin was defeated.
During his escape, he was caught up and killed by Huangfu Qian, the interviewer from Jiangxi.
Li Lin's son Li Xi was also killed by the rebels during his escape.
Later, Huangfu He also sent people to escort Li Lin's wife and children to Chang'an.
Li Lin's wife, concubines and children were still being escorted to Chang'an.
After the news reached Chang'an, Xuanzong was very sad about the death of Li Lin and his son.
He believed that Li Lin was still his son no matter what, even if he was wrong.
Huangfu Qian should not be killed, and other princes, princesses and royal relatives pointed their fingers at Huangfu Qian, so Xuanzong decided not to reuse Huangfu Qian.
On the second day of March, Zhao Ziliang, seeing that the war in the south and southeast was beneficial to our side, attracted the attention of An Qingxu and his courtiers to Fangcheng and Nanyang, so he immediately commanded the army to march east of Tongguan and directly towards Shaanxi County.
On the one hand, Zhao Ziliang's army marched into Shaanxi County, and on the other hand, he ordered Wang Nanpo to lead 20,000 troops out of Pujin Pass to approach Anyi, waiting for an opportunity to attack Anyi.
At the same time, he ordered Duan Xiushi of the Anxi Army to lead 3,000 mountain soldiers as the vanguard to clean up the mountains and forests in the Lingbao area. , to prevent the Yan army from setting up an ambush in the mountains of Lingbao.
Lingbao was formerly called Taolin County, but was renamed Lingbao County in the first year of Tianbao.
It was here that Ge Shuhan was severely wounded by Yan Army General Cui Qianyou.
Yan Jun general Neng Yuanhao originally ambushed thousands of soldiers and horses in the mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road from Tongguan to Lingbao, equipped with a large number of rolling stones and wood.
He only waited for the Tang army to pass by and then ambushed him.
How could Zhao Ziliang follow his brother again?
Shu Han was also fooled Duan Xiushi was sent to lead 3,000 mountain troops to clear the long and narrow mountain roads in Lingbao County.
A large number of Yan troops lurking in the mountains were discovered.
They were attacked by the Tang troops and fled one after another.
Many people rolled down the mountain while fleeing in the mountains. die.
The demoralized Yan army had to abandon Lingbao and retreat to Shaanxi County.
Neng Yuanhao learned that the deployment in Lingbao County had been destroyed by the Tang army.
Instead of severely damaging the Tang army, he was severely damaged by the Tang army.
He immediately sent troops in panic.
Report to Luoyang.
An Qingxu, who had just suffered a lot of losses in the south, had to send troops and horses from Luoyang to reinforce Neng Yuanhao.
At this time, there were not many generals in the Yan Dynasty in Luoyang who could lead troops.
An Qingxu sent Tian Chengsitong.
Fifty thousand soldiers were sent to reinforce Neng Yuanhao.
Adding Neng Yuanhao's original troops, the Yan army's troops in Shaanxi County also numbered about 100,000.
On the tenth day of March, the Tang army captured the entire Lingbao County without a fight.
Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi in Shaanxi County were facing a formidable enemy.
The atmosphere on the front line from Lingbao to Shaanxi County was unprecedentedly tense.
Business travel was also cut off.
Scouts from both sides Small-scale fights occurred from time to time.
Zhao Ziliang led his troops to temporarily station in Lingbao, and sent his son Zhao Ting to cross the Yellow River with 10,000 troops to the north to capture Ruicheng.
At this time, Wang Ruolan had already commanded 20,000 troops to march from Pujin Pass to Anyi.
After Zhao Ting captured Ruicheng, he continued along the Yellow River.
The North Bank quickly advanced eastward and captured Pinglu connecting Shaanxi County to Anyi.
In this way, Zhao Ting could not only support Wang Rao in attacking Cui Qianyou in the north at any time, but also cross the river and go south to cooperate with Zhao Ziliang's main force to attack Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi in Shaanxi County.
The situation is extremely unfavorable for the Yan army.
Cui Qianyou in Anyi only has 10,000 troops and horses, while the menacing Wang Rao has 20,000.
In addition, the road between Anyi and Shaanxi County is cut off by Zhao Ting.
Cui Qianyou is facing a war in the south.

Danger of simultaneous attacks from the west.
Wenxi, north of Anyi, was garrisoned by the Hedong Army at this time.
Wenxi County was at the middle node of the Jinzhou and Anyi basins.
This place was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Yan Army was never able to attack the Hedong Army northward through here. .
To the east of Anyi is Zhongtiao Mountain, which was cut off by the Tang army to the south and back.
To the west, Wang Jinlan's 20,000-strong army rolled over.
Cui Qianyou in Anyi seemed to be surrounded from all sides.
Cui Qianyou obviously realized that he was in a disadvantageous situation.
The choice given to him now was to either go south to fight Zhao Ting's army, break through Zhao Ting's defense line, cross the river to join Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi in Shaanxi County, or use all his troops to fight Wang Rao , if he can defeat Wang Jinlan, he will still have a chance to break out of Zhao Ting's army and jump out of the encirclement.
No matter which choice he makes, it will not be easy for Cui Qianyou.
If he attacks Zhao Ting's army in the south, even if he succeeds in breaking through, he will have to prepare a large number of ships to cross the Yellow River.
I am afraid that before he can raise enough ships, Wang The rare 20,000-strong army came from behind.
If he went out of the city to fight Wang Ranran, Zhao Tingjun, who had received the news, would probably not allow him to fight Wang Ranran safely and boldly.
Timely support would arrive quickly.
By then, his army would have two soldiers.
All directions were attacked.
Cui Qianyou has another choice, which is to abandon Anyi and lead his troops to escape into the Zhongtiao Mountains.
Keep going eastward.
As long as you get out of the Zhongtiao Mountains, you will have a way to survive.
However, in this case, I am afraid that only 10,000 troops will be left in the end.
The people are not bad, but the morale of the Yan army is not high to begin with.
They also ask the soldiers to trek through mountains and rivers.
I am afraid that the army will collapse after entering the mountains.
On March 16, Cui Qianyou decided to abandon Anyi and led his troops south to attack Zhao Ting's army, preparing to break out from Pinglu and quickly flee eastward along the north bank of the Yellow River without crossing the river to join Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi.
Unfortunately, Zhao Ting seemed to have been prepared for it.
When he learned that Cui Qianyou was leading his troops to attack Pinglu, he immediately led his troops north to block the mountain road from Anyi to Pinglu.
The two sides fought in Zhongtiao Mountain.
For two days and two nights, the morale of the Yan army plummeted.
Cui Qianyou was also knocked off his horse by Zhao Ting with Fang Tian's painted halberd and fell into the forest.
After the battle, Zhao Ting sent people to search down the hillside and found Cui Qianyou who was in a coma.
He immediately escorted him back to Pinglu.
At this time, Wang Rao also led his troops to Anyi.
After a brief rest in Anyi, A small number of troops were left to garrison in Anyi, and most of them immediately went south to join Zhao Ting.
When the news reached Lingbao, Zhao Ziliang immediately commanded an army of 110,000 troops to advance towards Shaanxi County.
Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi who were in Shaanxi County were greatly frightened.
However, at this time, An Qingxu sent an edict from Luoyang to let them go.
People defended Shaanxi County to the death, but there was no danger to defend Shaanxi County.
Wang Nannan and Zhao Ting's army north of the Yellow River are not a worry.
They need a large number of ships to cross the river.
Only Zhao Ziliang's army advancing from the west puts the greatest pressure on Shaanxi County.
The city wall of Shaanxi County was not tall and thick and could not withstand the siege of the army.
After discussion, Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi decided to send troops to fight the Tang army outside the city.
This was much better than retreating into the city for passive defense.
On March 20th, the Tang army arrived at the city of Shaanjun.

Energy and Tian Chengsi set out to camp. 210,000 horses from both sides were spread out in the open space to the west of Shaanjun city, covering an area of more than ten miles.
Flags were flying everywhere, and after the sound of drums and horns, Tian Chengsi relied on his bravery and rode out to challenge alone.
"Hey, Tang Army coach Zhao Ziliang, you were my master when I was doing martial arts in the early years.
I treated you like a master.
Now we are each our own masters.
We have severed all grievances between you and me.
I heard that you are highly skilled in martial arts.
I, Tian, have never fought against you.
Field, if you have the courage today, come out and fight me to the death, otherwise go back to where you came from."
Zhao Ziliang smiled after hearing Tian Chengsi's words and said to Li Siye: "General Li, go meet him and tell him that I am the commander of the army.
How can I easily fight alone with a junior like him, even if I defeat him?
He wants to fight me even if he is not victorious.
He is not qualified.
If he can defeat you, then it will not be too late for me to play again."
"Take the order."
Li Siye agreed excitedly, raised his Mo Dao and then rode towards Tian Chengsi.
"Law" Li Siye reined in his horse and stopped not far from Tian Chengsi, and shouted: "Tian Chengsi, your opponent is me.
You are not qualified to challenge the commander.
If you win, I will tell you how to drive."
"Hmph, I'm afraid you are not good enough.
Don't think that you have gained some fame in Anxi, so you dare to act wild in front of me, Tian Chengsi.
I will definitely make you splash with blood today."
The two men rushed over to each other, and soon they were fighting.
The weapons of both sides were coming and going, and they were killing each other.
Tian Chengsi had been fighting Shiwei and Jie Mo in the northeast all year round, and he ran the army well.
Therefore, he not only had the ability to command the army, He was extraordinary, and his own martial arts skills were also extraordinary, so he was not at a disadvantage when he first started fighting with Li Siye.
After the two fought for more than a hundred rounds, Tian Chengsi dared to run out of energy.
He originally discussed with Neng Yuanhao and decided to challenge the Tang army general, and then pretended to be defeated and fled back to the formation.
The Tang army would inevitably attack with troops.
When the Tang army reached the front of the formation, Neng Yuanhao then commanded the army to launch a sudden and violent counterattack.
Unexpectedly, he didn't need to pretend at all.
He couldn't hold on anymore.
He could only force Li Siye back with one move, and immediately turned around and ran towards the main formation.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered: "The whole army attacks" At this time, Zhao Ziliang felt that there was no need to play tricks with Yan Jun anymore.
In the face of absolute strength, playing tricks was not only a waste of time, but also troublesome.
In total, at the beginning, the Chinese army's 60,000 infantry advanced forward.
The Modao Army at the front stepped on the drums and held up their Modao to open the way, while the 30,000 Beiting Army cavalry on both wings attacked at the same time.
A heavy momentum like a mountain came over the ground, and the Yan Army soldiers changed their expressions one after another.
When the Tang Army was about to rush forward, a large number of Yan Army soldiers could not help but run away in fear.
At this time, Neng Yuanhao gave an order, let One hundred thousand Yan troops immediately launched a counterattack.
Pretending to be defeated first, and waiting for the Tang army to pursue them, the Yan army launched a fierce attack.
This tactic had been used many times by the Yan army generals, and it worked every time.
The Tang army generals who were defeated by this tactic were the first to attack.
Bi Sichen, Cheng Qianli, and later Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, and even Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi and others suffered heavy losses under this tactic.
But this time Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi found that the tried and tested tactics before had no effect at all in front of Zhao Ziliang.

Not only did they have no effect, but they also lost faster and more miserably.
Zhao Ziliang stood on the commander's platform and observed the battlefield situation with a telescope, and sneered: "Huh, if you want to use this tactic to deal with me, you will only die faster."
Chu Ge next to him asked: "Commander, the rebels have used this tactic many times to deal with the imperial army, and it has always failed.
Why not only was it ineffective this time, but it was defeated faster."
Zhao Ziliang said: "I thought that the imperial army that the rebels faced in the past were either ordinary people without any combat power, or a mixed army made up of various armies.
Even the army with the strongest combat power can only be defeated by multiple armies mixed together."
Together, without cooperation, you will still be hit.
Defeat, but our army is different.
Our army has been fully integrated, cooperated skillfully and tacitly, and its combat power is not comparable to other ordinary armies.
Therefore, not only did the rebels fail to succeed this time, but they were defeated faster.
Yuan Hao and Tian Chengsi The defeat has been decided, pass on the order and pursue full pursuit."
