Chapter 42 Guo Ziyi's Choice

Seeing that the general under his command left, Guo Ziyi lowered his head and pondered for a while, then whispered to himself: "The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty! He has used his life to guarantee the acquisition of Chang'an City, what else can hesitate! After all, there must be someone who can live in this world!"

That night, Guo Ziyi wrote a letter in his study, then took the letter and looked at it for a long time, finally put it on and said to the attendant outside the door: "Go and find Guo Xi!"

Guo Xi is Guo Ziyi's third son. When the old man is fighting outside, he usually keeps his eldest son Guo Yao at home to guard the house, and takes his second son Guo Shi and his third son Guo Xi.

In the previous melee, Guo Ziyi's second son, Guo Qian, was killed by rebel general An Shouzhong in the melee.

Guo Ziyi was really sad about this for a while, but because the war was tight, he could only bear the pain and continue to fight. Fortunately, Guo Xi was the one who looked the most like him when he was young. Now he was twenty-four years old, and he was very skilled in riding and shooting, and he was also a bit famous in the Shuofang Army.

"Father, why did you call the child to come?"

Guo Xi knew that such a thing happened to the Uighur cavalry halfway, so he also knew how much pressure Guo Ziyi was facing when he could not take down the two capitals.

"I just wrote this letter. No one knows except you and me. During this period, I should have been discussing the attack on the two capitals in Yong County. You will take this letter and take a few of your close guards to Suiyang City tonight. Be sure to hand this letter to King Jianning himself. You can rely on his instructions for the rest!"

When Guo Xi heard what his father said, although he subconsciously took the letter from Guo Ziyi's hand, his eyes widened. Li Yan was in Fengxiang County now, Guo Xi knew very clearly. If his father had not stood in front of him and looked very serious, Guo Xi would have thought that this was Guo Ziyi's exam.

"Father, the current Marshal of the World's Military and Horses is King Guangping! If you ask your child to meet King Jianning in private, he will not be afraid. Once it affects his father..."

"Although King Jianning is impulsive, he is a good player in leading troops to fight. You may not be able to resist the spear in his hand? I have already made a great wish in front of His Majesty. Now the generals of the Tang Dynasty already know. Once I fail, even if I don't die, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses will not be able to be the one in charge. So now, as long as you can help us conquer the two capitals, it will be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty no matter who it is!"

Guo Xi turned his head and thought that this was indeed the case. Whether it was for his father or for the Tang Dynasty, he had nothing to refuse.

People often go out of the city to send messages in Guo Ziyi's mansion, so Guo Xi brought dozens of cavalry out of the city, but no one noticed it.

When Guo Xi, who was exhausted and buried, arrived outside Suiyang City, he suddenly seemed to understand Guo Ziyi's intentions.

I saw a military camp not far outside the city, teams of cavalry were training, some were practicing riding and shooting, and some were fighting each other, which was very lively.

"King Jianning indeed organized thousands of cavalry here..."

When he learned that Guo Xi had arrived, Li Qing was discussing with Zhang Xun about regaining several cities on the border of Henan Road. When Zhang Xun heard that Guo Ziyi's son had actually arrived at Suiyang City, he was quite surprised.

Guo Ziyi is the deputy marshal and Li Yu is the grand marshal. This is well-known. It is well-known why Li Yi is far away from the core circle. So at this time, Guo Ziyi actually sent his son to Suiyang, which is completely unreasonable.

"Hmph, it seems that the little brothers from the Pugu tribe we sent back still played some role. Tongluo and the Pugu tribe are our friends. Our deputy marshal is anxious! He sent his own son all at once, which is quite sincere!"

There was no expression of surprise on Li Qing's face, as if everything was under his control.

"Did the prince have known that there will be such a day? We have been training cavalry day and night during this period to help His Majesty attack the two capitals?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Xun finally understood the purpose of Li Neng's insistence on training this cavalry. Through a younger brother of the leader of the Jugu tribe who seemed to be unbelievable, Li Neng actually did such a big thing. This is really not an effect that ordinary people can achieve.

"It's just luck. Since Guo Xi is waiting outside the city, you go and fight the city we just mentioned. Isn't there more than a thousand miscellaneous troops there? Let Guo Xi see the power of our cavalry and bring him in!"

This time, Zhang Xun knew where Li Qing's confidence came from, so he walked out with his head held high.

Looking at Zhang Xun's back, Li Yun's smile closed at that time, shook his head slightly, and looked at Chang'an and Luoyang on the map.

This was really a very magical strategy in Zhang Xun's opinion, but Li Qing came up with a brief cuddle. His biggest worry now was that the nearly 5,000 cavalrymen could not reach the intensity needed to capture Chang'an and Luoyang because they didn't have long training time.

Although Li Qing has been looking for some enemies within the Henan Road during this period that can allow these cavalry to practice, after all, it is incomparable to the rebels guarding Chang'an City and Luoyang City.

Since Guo Xi has arrived this time, Li Wu simply followed his cavalry to take a look. If his cavalry even failed to meet the most basic requirements, Guo Xi would naturally go back and tell Guo Ziyi. If that were the case, Li Wu himself would not want to rashly participate in this critical battle. Compared to showing his face, the safety of the Tang Dynasty is more important.

In fact, Li Yi said that he wanted to compete for the position of crown prince, but he just couldn't stand the strategy of relying on the Hu people in everything in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, there were already many Hu people among the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Shuofang Army, which Li Heng relied the most, had a considerable number of warriors in it, which were actually Hu people's blood.

Even if there is no problem with their loyalty now, once there will be a border general with some ideas in the future, and if he incites him, these people will most likely become his private soldiers. Isn’t the so-called separatist rule of the late Tang Dynasty in the previous life the root of the disaster laid at this time?
