Chapter 718: Coming to defeat Sui Yangpo


Li Bai's misery is that he has been running around all his life but never got the ideal official position he wanted.

This is the tragedy of a poet like him.

When he feels unsatisfied, he will turn to poetry.

It is not that the imperial court does not have imperial examinations to give students a way out, but Li Bai did not bother to take the imperial examination.

He believed that with his talent, he should have a different way to become an official.

He wanted to be like Zhuge Liang, who was visited by the emperor and princes as an indispensable counselor, relied on and reused. he.

This is why King Yong sent letters of appointment to hire him several times, but he reluctantly agreed.

Even when he was a junior official, he would not do anything.

He would not do the work of serving others.

He would not do the work that felt unworthy or wronged.

He would go to hell with bending down to serve the powerful.

This is Li Bai.

Li Bai is noble and his heart is very high.

In one sentence There should be no exaggeration to describe him: his heart is as high as the sky, his life is as thin as paper.

To Zhao Ziliang, rescuing Li Bai was just a matter of words.

Now that Du Fu had spoken, Zhao Ziliang felt that there was no need to worry too much, it was just a matter of effort.

Besides, given Li Bai's situation, it could be considered an attempted crime.

He really had to take it seriously.

He is definitely guilty, but it is possible to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to this situation without violating the bottom line of principle.

Zhao Ziliang walked to the desk and sat down.

He picked up a pen and wrote a letter.

After writing it, he put it in an envelope and handed it to Du Fu.

He said, "Send someone to deliver this letter to Lai Ai.

He is in Jiangdong now.

He can do whatever he says."

Li Qinglian will be asked to assist in the investigation on the grounds that he knows relevant military information. , take the person away.

In this way, it will be difficult for the local government and the court-related yamen to intervene.

In addition, I will send someone to the court-related yamen to bring his case file.

Laiyi will send someone to bring the person and the case file.

Once we are here, he will be fine."

Du Fu was overjoyed and took the letter and said quickly: "I would like to thank the commander-in-chief on behalf of Li Qinglian."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "Thank you when someone brings it over."

On March 22nd, Zhao Ting led his army across the river to Shanjun to join the main force.

Bai Xiaode led 5,000 fine cavalry as the vanguard and advanced eastwards, approaching Luoyang.

The small town of Yalu looked down upon the wind.

After arriving at Mianchi, the officials and soldiers in the city would pull down the flag of the Yan army, hang the flag of the Tang Dynasty, open the city gate to welcome the king's troops into the city, and the officials also prepared a large amount of food, wine and meat to reward the army.

On the afternoon of March 22, Bai Xiaode sent someone back to Shaanxi County to report the latest rebel movements.

"Commander, General Bai ordered me to report to the commander.

After Tian Chengsi was injured, he fled eastward with more than a thousand cavalry and did not stop until Xin'an.

Starting from October last year, the rebels recruited soldiers to strengthen the defense around Luoyang.

There are a large number of civilians in the surrounding area to the east of Xin'an Hangu Pass was rebuilt on the site of the original Hangu Pass.

Although it did not take long to build, because enough civilians were recruited, the new Hangu Pass was built tall and strong.

If you want to attack the pass head-on, you are afraid that it will be difficult.

It is extremely difficult.

Now Tian Chengsi is at Hangu Pass."

In terms of time, there have been two Hangu Passes.

One was the Hangu Pass during the Qin Dynasty, located in Wangduo Village north of Lingbao, and the other was the Hangu Pass east of Xin'an during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because of the establishment of Tongguan, the role of Hangu Pass was no longer there, so it was later abandoned.

Zhao Ziliang knew that the rebels had rebuilt Hangu Pass, which was one of the reasons why he had to slow down the pace of his attack.

Currently, a large amount of logistical equipment and siege equipment were still on their way from Tongguan to Shaanxi County.

Now even if the army reaches Hangu Pass in Xin'an, it will not be able to attack the city.

After hearing the report sent by Bai Xiaode to the primary school, Zhao Ziliang asked him to rest first.

Zhao Ziliang also ordered to summon the generals to come for discussion.

After discussion, Zhao Ziliang decided to consolidate the territory he had captured first and send a small number of troops to attack the surrounding small towns.

The town was cleaned up, and people were sent to contact Lu Jiong, Wang Sili and others in the south.

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

After the news of Tian Chengsi and Neng Yuanhao's defeat in Shaanjun reached Luoyang, the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Yan State were in doubt, and An Qingxu immediately summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

An Qingxu said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "Bi Sichen rebelled in Fangcheng a few days ago.

Not only did he kill Li Guiren and others, he also defeated and surrendered our nearly 100,000-strong army.

Tian Qianzhen also fled back in embarrassment, with very few soldiers and horses left. , the situation in the south is bad.

Now Lu Jiong and Wang Sili have not come over from the south because they have just swallowed my nearly 100,000 troops and are digesting them.

I am afraid that they will wait for them to digest the 100,000 troops. , will definitely send troops northward.

Now, Tian Chengsi and Neng Yuanhao were defeated by Zhao Ziliang, Neng Yuanhao was captured, Tian Chengsi was injured by an arrow, and is currently stationed at Hangu Pass, and Cui Ganyou's troops in Anyi are missing.

According to the news, there is military information showing that the Tang army has captured Pinglu.

Cui Qianyou is afraid that there will be more misfortune than good.

The situation can be said to be extremely bad for our country, Yan.

I wonder if you have any good strategies to deal with this situation."

Yan Zhuang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should send heavy troops to garrison Hangu Pass and Ruzhou now, transfer a large amount of materials to defend the city, and at the same time replace Tian Chengsi.

Tian Chengsi and Zhao Ziliang have a teacher-student relationship, who Do you know if his fiasco this time was intentional?

In addition, Wei Chen suggested that we should be prepared to evacuate Luoyang and move the capital to Xiangzhou."

Gao Shang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Yan's words to be ready to move the capital to Xiangzhou, but I don't agree with the replacement of Tian Chengsi.

Now there are not many generals available in our court.

General Tian has outstanding merits and great military exploits, and was defeated by Zhao Ziliang."

It’s just temporary, and now only Tian Chengsi in our court has fought head-on with Zhao Ziliang.

He is the only one with experience.

Keeping him stationed at Hangu Pass is the best choice, Your Majesty.

Changing generals on the spot is a taboo."

Gao Shang and Yan Zhuang were both prime ministers, and each had his or her own team.

After these two people came out to speak, their team ministers all stood up to support each other.

Is An Qingxu the son of an aristocratic family?

He also followed An Lushan all the way out and has some understanding of military affairs.

He knows that among the generals of the imperial court at this time, only Tian Chengsi has some understanding of Zhao Ziliang's tactics.

If it had been someone else.

I'm afraid I won't be as good as Tian Chengsi when I accept Hangu Pass.

After careful consideration, An Qingxu decided to leave Tian Chengsi to guard Hangu Pass, and at the same time sent An Shouzhong and Tian Qianzhen to guard Ruzhou.

Ruzhou was the south gate of Luoyang.

If Ruzhou was captured by Lu Jiong and Wang Sili, Luoyang would be defeated.

Danger At the same time, he also ordered Yin Ziqi to attack Suiyang to contact the threat from the east.

Now Yin Ziqi has 300,000 troops in his hands, but there are less than 30,000 in Suiyang city.

Attacking Suiyang with ten times the force is not a big pressure for Yin Ziqi. .

Suiyang City is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Suiyang City is not that big.

How can it withstand the siege of 300,000 troops and attack day and night?

After Yin Ziqi received An Qingxu's order, he sent troops to attack Suiyang for more than half a month.

The defenders in Suiyang City suffered huge casualties, food and grass were almost cut off, and the defenders dropped sharply from 30,000 to less than 10,000.

King Wu Li Zhuan almost no confidence Helan Jinming, Xu Yuan and others were also in mourning.

At this point in the battle, the casualties exceeded two-thirds.

The morale of the Tang army soldiers in the city had dropped to the extreme and they might collapse at any time. .

At this time, Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and others played a huge role.

They took advantage of the Yan army to suddenly open the city gate when they were attacking the city, dispatched the only two thousand cavalry in the city, and unexpectedly destroyed the city.

All the siege pits, catapults, ballistas and other heavy siege weapons of the outer Yan army also killed a large number of the Yan army.

The Yan army was defeated by the surprise attack and the siege eased.

Yin Ziqi had to retreat thirty miles. .

In view of the crisis situation in Suiyang City, after receiving the news, Lai Ai immediately led Ma Shouye, Wei Wei and others to the north for reinforcements.

The three groups of troops joined forces in one place, totaling more than 30,000 people.

Yin Ziqi quickly received the news, and immediately left Li Huaixian, Yang Zongwang, Linghu Chao and others to lead troops to continue the siege of Suiyang, while he himself led 100,000 elite troops south to face Lai's army.

Yin Ziqi set up an ambush in the middle between Cai River and Bao River to wait for work.

Lai Ai's army's inspection post was blocked by mountains and forests, and Yin Ziqi's ambush was not found.

When Lai Ai, Ma Shouye, Wei Wei and others arrived with their troops, they discovered something was wrong and wanted to lead their troops to retreat, but it was a little late.

Yin Ziqi personally led the cavalry to charge out, but the Tang army's military orders were inconsistent. , the generals did their own thing, and the soldiers were in chaos.

When Yin Ziqi's army rushed up, they could not resist it and were defeated one after another.

Lai Ai, Ma Shouye, Wei Wei and others fled all the way to Linhuai in embarrassment before they stabilized their position.

Only after counting the army did they find 30,000 troops.

In the past, when I came back, it was already less than 10,000.

Lai Yi, Ma Shouye, Wei Wei and others who suffered heavy losses were no longer able to take the initiative to attack, so reinforcements could only be put on hold.

On the one hand, Lai Yi ordered the soldiers to strengthen their strength, and on the other hand, he wrote to the court and Zhao Ziliang, reporting the defeat and requesting punishment. .

While Yin Ziqi was fighting with Laigui's army, great changes occurred in Suiyang City.

Some generals headed by Wu King Li Zhu decided to break out and retreat towards Pengcheng.

Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others believed that they should hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Not even an inch of land could be lost unless it was absolutely necessary, but Wu King Li Zhuan and some of his generals were determined.

Regardless of the objections of Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others, they led the three frontmen to break out of the encirclement eastward.

At the same time, He Lanjin also broke out. bright.

The Yan Army generals Li Huaixian, Yang Zongwang, Linghu Chao and others who stayed outside Suiyang City did not expect that the Tang Army would dare to break through at this time.

You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city.

These soldiers and horses are not paper, but But Li Huaixian and others The people were unprepared, and Li Zhuan, Helan Jinming and others successfully broke through the encirclement.

Although most of the people were lost, the main personnel such as Li Zhuan and Helan Jinming successfully broke through.

Hundreds of others successfully broke out with them.

Guards.

There were originally less than 10,000 people in Suiyang City.

When Li Zhuan and Helan broke out in the Ming Dynasty, they took away more than 3,000 people.

At this time, Suiyang City already had less than 6,000 defenders.

They were all starved and thin, and their morale was low.

In the blink of an eye, it was April 18th.

Yin Ziqi defeated Lai's army and returned to Suiyang, and continued to attack Suiyang City.

Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others struggled to support themselves, and there was no time to deal with the corpses piled up on the city wall.

After another five days of fierce attack, Suiyang City finally could no longer hold up.

The east wall was completely captured by the Yan army, the city gate was opened, and a large number of Yan troops poured into the city.
