Chapter 712 Fan Yang Battle Report On the day Kong Sheng took the Song family, the Tang army suffered a crushing defeat on the periphery of Fanyang, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, and the battle report came out, shaking the government and the opposition.
The emperor is to blame for this.
If it is according to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's plan, slowly Tuzhi, maybe a year, maybe two years, will slowly drag down Shi Siming's Hedong rebels.
However, the emperor was anxious to stabilize the world, and even issued several edicts within three days, ordering Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to attack Fanyang on two fronts, striving to take Shi Siming in the shortest possible time.
As a last resort, Li Guangbi and others went to war, the Tang army was defeated, and military important places such as Heyang and Huaizhou were all attributed to Shi Siming.
Li Guangbi was defeated, and his 100,000-strong army lost more than 10,000 people.
The Tang army was defeated as a whole, not only did not take Fanyang, but also lost the eastern capital Luoyang, and lost the forward base camp of the Tang army.
Guo Ziyi's 500-mile urgent military report arrived in Chang'an, and the emperor listened to the military report with several prime ministers such as Li Yu, Du Hongji, and Yan Zhenqing in the political affairs hall, including the crown prince Li Yu.
Although he suffered a defeat, the emperor did not realize the really serious consequences.
But Guo Ziyi's military report was truthful, and he learned that the loss of soldiers was more than 10,000 people, the Tang army was defeated all the way, and Luoyang was lost, the emperor was shocked, and couldn't help but shoot the case, and said angrily: "Li Guangbi is really incompetent, and he deserves to die."
Li Mi and Du Hong gradually glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that the defeat of our army was caused by the emperor's impatience, and what did it have to do with Li Guangbi, but the emperor would not bear the responsibility for the defeat of the army no matter what, and it was only Li Guangbi who could bear the responsibility.
Li Mi took a deep breath, got up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty temporarily rests the wrath of thunder."
At present, the top priority is to order Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to strictly guard the front line in Henan to prevent Shi Siming's rebels from pressing on Chang'an.
After that, Xu Tu recovered Luoyang. ” "As for Li Guangbi, changing generals in battle is a taboo in the army, not to mention that our army has just suffered a defeat, and the army cannot be without generals for a day.
And the military generals in the DPRK and China, there are very few who can surpass Li Guangbi's ability to use soldiers, and please think twice "It can be seen that the emperor wants to use Li Guangbi as a scapegoat, Du Hong gradually got up and spoke.
The emperor's face was ugly, his breath was short, he gasped and sat down slowly.
He didn't know that this time the Tang army suffered a defeat, which was related to his repeated edicts to coerce Li Guangbi to march blindly, but in any case, Li Guangbi was defeated so badly that it still made the emperor angry.
Luoyang unexpectedly fell into the hands of Shi Siming's rebels again, which posed a fatal threat to Chang'an.
Could it be that the Tang Dynasty and the emperor want to flee in a hurry again like the old emperors in the past?
A hint of joy flashed in Li Yu's eyes.
Li Guangbi suffered defeat, and he was happy to see it.
This was the perfect time for him to return to military power.
Li Yu slowly got up, bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, Luoyang has fallen, and Chang'an is in danger.
Can't hesitate, Erchen is willing to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Luoyang.
With the encirclement and suppression of Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi and Erchen, not only Luoyang can be recovered in one fell swoop, but also a large-scale attack on Fanyang, completely quelling Shi Siming's rebellion."
"The sons are willing to go to the soup for their father, and the sons are willing to share weal and sorrow with my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and they will never come back to see their father" Li Yu was impassioned, and his voice raised an octave.
Li Yu and Du Hong gradually shook their heads secretly, knowing that Li Yu had taken the opportunity to ask for military power.
But what Li Yu said also has some truth, if Li Yu leads the army to form an encirclement with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's three-way army, it is not impossible to retake Luoyang with Li Yu's military talent.
But would the emperor be willing to let Li Yu regain military power?
When the national crisis is at hand, will the emperor give up his personal suspicion and precautions against Li Yu in consideration of the overall situation?
Li Mi and Du Hong, including Yan Zhenqing, all subconsciously looked at the emperor.
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he said lightly to Yan Zhenqing: "Qingchen, what do you think?"
Yan Zhenqing was stunned, knowing that the emperor had pushed the problem to himself, and he had to be cautious in how he answered.
If you go too far, you will offend the prince Li Yu.
But if it panders to the crown prince, it seems that he will offend the emperor.
But after all, Yan Zhenqing is an old man who has been up and down in the sea for decades, and at least he still has political wisdom and city government skills, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Li Guangbi's defeat has its deep-seated roots, and at this moment, for Li Guangbi, it is still mainly to appease and stabilize the morale of the army."
And what the prince said is very reasonable.
The imperial court should have dispatched troops and quickly formed an encirclement with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's two armies to recover Luoyang.
Fan Yang may not be able to conquer it for a while, but Luoyang is related to the safety of the capital and must not be lost."
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in his heart, Yan Zhenqing, you old fox, you actually played this kind of spear for me, it is hateful and hateful Yan Zhenqing agreed with Li Yu's words, but did not explicitly say that he had to appoint Li Yu as the commander and lead the army to the battle.
It's just that the imperial court should immediately dispatch troops to strive for the recovery of Luoyang, that's all.
Li Yu sneered in his heart.
He knew that the emperor didn't want him to regain military power, but he asked himself that there was no one in the court, and in this Manchu Dynasty, he was the only one who could lead the army to fight, and the others were all some wine bags and rice bags, and it was a good hand to frame each other to fight for me, but to say that there was no ability to fight on the battlefield.
Besides, the stakes are very high, the fall of Luoyang endangers Chang'an, and affects the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, he does not believe that the emperor will ignore the fundamental interests of the Li Tang royal family for the sake of a little suspicion.
The emperor's deep gaze swept over Li Yu, and his heart was very irritable.

He knew that there was no one in the court who was more suitable to lead the troops than Li Yu, but reason told him that if Li Yu regained military power this time, it would be difficult for him to regain military power from Li Yu, and it was even more difficult to say what Li Yu would do if he would take charge of the army.
But it is about Li Tang's foundation, and he can't ignore the overall situation.
Can let Li Yu take charge of the army, and his throne is worrying, the emperor slowly got up and walked to the military map hanging on the wall, and was silent.
Li Yu got up and bowed and said: "Father, Luoyang has fallen, Shi Siming's rebels have been driving straight in, the entire Henan Province is about to fall into the hands of the rebels, and the overall situation of the imperial court to quell the rebellion is almost ruined."
Li Heng snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart, Do you still need you to remind me, don't you know that Henan is in danger, Chang'an is also in danger, you are nothing more than taking advantage of the fire to rob, and want to seize military power from me, although you and I are father and son, but you are ruthless and have the heart to usurp the throne repeatedly, if I give you military power, will you still have my father in your eyes Li Mi and Du Hong gradually sighed in their hearts, knowing that the emperor was hesitating.
But in the eyes of the two, the emperor will eventually give in, because there are really no unscrupulous generals available in the court.
At this moment of crisis, improper use of people will inevitably lead to devastating consequences, and the emperor should not joke about Li Tang Jiangshan Sheji.
But after Li Yu regained military power, I am afraid that the current pattern of the Tang Dynasty will undergo great changes.
And the situation in the DPRK and China will inevitably be more conducive to Li Yu's monopoly of power.
As long as Li Yu is in charge of the army, needless to say, the courtiers who were originally under the command of the prince, even those who are still waiting and watching, will also throw their heads into the East Palace, and the emperor's throne will really be in danger. oshow7 t1706231537:
