Most of the people like Chang Zhong Chentian were generals. It was okay to let them charge, but it would be difficult for them to plan in the commander's tent.

The quarrels in the commander's tent gradually became fierce, and the generals had very disagreement.

Chang Zhong wanted to learn from Gu Qing's previous battle strategy and ambush the 20,000 rebels in Xuzhou, but Chen Tian said that the Anxi army had absolute strength to fight head-on with 20,000 rebels, and chose a plain area to fight. After the tricycle cavalry charge, the rebels would be defeated.

Li Siye was even more crazy and patted his chest and said that he would find a narrow position to form a formation, and all the troops strangled them.

Gu Qing sat aside and watched them argue quietly, with a smile on his lips and said nothing. Even if the tactics they proposed were outrageous, Gu Qing would not stop them.

At the end of the arguing, the generals became more and more irritable and almost started to fight in the coach's tent. Li Siye couldn't help but shout: "I don't care! You are just talking nonsense. I don't believe it. I only listen to the grandfather. I can do whatever he says!"

All the generals nodded, and they had a stalemate, and no one obeyed each other. In the end, the decision-making power fell on Gu Qing.

Gu Qing sighed and said, "You are kind to cultivate your way of being a handsome man, but you are not good at it. I have seen clearly that you are all killing talents who can only charge into battle."

The generals sneered.

Gu Qing looked at Duan Wuji again and said, "Tell me."

Duan Wuji stared at the sand table for a while and said, "Mr. Master, the student thinks that it is best to inquire about the reality of these 20,000 rebels first."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Do you think these 20,000 rebels are cheating?"

Duan Wuji hesitated: "The students can't tell me. I believe An Lushan knew about the actions of our Anxi Army. Such a large camp was in Dengzhou for more than a month, and the rebels would not have heard of it. If An Lushan knew that our Anxi Army was in Dengzhou, but he would still send troops to capture Xuzhou, which was only one day away, and only sent 20,000 rebels, the students always felt that something was wrong..."

Gu Qing nodded, stared at the sand table and said, "I don't think something is right if you say that..."

Chang Zhong said in surprise: "Mr. Master means... An Lushan has set a trap for us?"

Gu Qing said with a serious expression: "It is impossible to draw a conclusion, but it is very likely."

Chen Tian said, "Can't An Lushan also want to learn from the prince to set up an ambush for us, right? Isn't this a show of his skills? Haha."

After laughing twice, Chen Tian found that there was silence in the coach's tent. No one echoed him and scratched his head embarrassedly, and said in surprise: "He really dares to set up an ambush for us?"

"There is no constant force in the army, and the water is no constant form. The battle between the two armies is a deceptive person. They can also use the tricks we have used. If they use them well, they can still cause us to suffer a great loss." Gu Qing said in a deep voice.

Turning his head to look at Duan Wuji, Gu Qing smiled and said, "You are very good. You can see what I am neglected. If it is confirmed that An Lushan has set up a halt, you will be the first to win after this battle."

Duan Wuji smiled embarrassedly.

Gu Qing looked around the generals and said, "You have no objection, are you?"

The generals nodded in conscience, and Li Siye grinned and said, "On weekdays, you are a follower behind the prince. You are also a thin and small body. You can kill you with just one punch. I can't tell that you, a little scholar, are still a little worthy. I can tell that everyone who can follow the prince has extraordinary features."

Chen Tian also smiled and said, "Brother Duan only showed a little bit of a strategist today. If Duan Xian expected it, your words at least avoided tens of thousands of casualties. But you have accumulated great virtues and I will convince you of the first merit."

The first merit was particularly concerned by every general. Duan Wuji's words today avoided the huge casualties of the Anxi Army. Although there were only a few words, everyone knew the weight. The first merit was given to Duan Wuji in this battle, and no one had any objection to the generals.

Gu Qing turned cold and said, "Immediately send an order to send a scout to inquire about the illusion of the 20,000 rebels in Xuzhou. Also, we will send a scout to disguise itself as a commoner and penetrate into Hangu Pass and Chang'an. If the 20,000 rebels are just bait thrown by An Lushan, there will be a large army behind it. After we find out clearly, we will make a decision."

…………

Two days later, the scout did not send back the message, but Gu Qing received another message.

Xian Yu Zhongtong, Jiefu of Jiannan, led 30,000 Shu troops into Guanzhong to serve the king, walked the Shu road, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and arrived at Jinzhou on the bank of the Han River and heard that the rebels had captured Chang'an, and the emperor had already visited Shu in the southwest.

Xian Yu Zhongtong suddenly paused his feet and beat his chest and regretted it. It was not because Chang'an had lost, but because he regretted that he had not waited for the emperor to command the emperor in Shu. Xian Yu Zhongtong was a literati. Literature was not good at leading troops. What he was good at was talking big in front of the emperor and winning the favor of the emperor. Xian Yu Zhongtong, who had left Shu, felt deeply that he had missed a great opportunity.

So Xian Yu Zhongtong subconsciously planned to return to Shu to welcome the emperor's emperor's deity, but Song Gensheng persuaded him to stop.

Song Gensheng saw Xianyu Zhongtong's utilitarian psychology, and the reason for comfort was also in line with his wishes. Song Gensheng said that the country has been lost now and the rebels are rampant in Guanzhong. What the ministers should do is to lead the army to quell the rebellion. Only after making military achievements can they win the favor of the emperor. A military achievement is stronger than a wide range of things. If you accidentally make greater contributions, Xianyu Jieshuai may be promoted to the title of marquis.

If Jishuai doesn't believe it, you might as well look at Gu Qing. He led the Anxi Army to win three victories, and the emperor immediately took him from the county Hou Jin to the county duke. Now that the Shu soldiers from Jiannan Road have entered Guanzhong, it is an excellent opportunity to suppress the rebellion and make contributions.

Song Gensheng's words made Xian Yu Zhongtong excited, so he decided to stay and suppress the rebellion. At the same time, he wrote a memorial with passion, which praised himself as a minister in the turbulent times, such as bravery and fearlessness, such as unfair struggle against thieves and rebellion, and so on. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome the sage in Shu. After writing, Xian Yu Zhongtong asked me to send him to the sage of the Emperor.

Then Xian Yu Zhongtong beat drums and gathered generals to discuss the army's stop with the generals.

Guanzhong has been occupied by rebels. If the Shu army in Jiannan Road crashed into it, there might be a risk of annihilation of the entire army. Therefore, Xianyu Zhongtong decided to go around the Guanzhong plain to fight guerrillas with the rebels, and at the same time inquire about the whereabouts of the royal divisions of the court, striving to contact them and unite to quell the rebellion.

After spending more than half a month inquiring, Xian Yu Zhongtong finally found out the whereabouts of the royal divisions. Guo Ziyi went to Shuofangjie Mansion to the north. Li Guangbi was beaten by the rebels and disappeared into the Qinling Mountains. The Hexi Army was completely defeated during the Battle of Tongguan. The only army that could fight was the Anxi Army, who camped in Dengzhou.

Xian Yu Zhongtong found Dengzhou on the map, then gestured the distance between Jinzhou and Dengzhou, and finally overjoyed.

Jinzhou is not far from Dengzhou, only hundreds of miles away. If you march, you can get there for three or four days.

Xian Yu Zhongtong immediately decided to meet with the Anxi Army.

Why did you meet with the Anxi Army? Xian Yu Zhongtong has his own little plan.

He was originally a literati who was not good at war. His only war in his life was to pacify the Nanzhao Kingdom Rebellion. In that battle, he followed Gu Qing's advice and asked the court to temporarily transfer Gao Xianzhi to Jiannandao to command. Thanks to Gu Qing's wonderful sand table, he actually won a great victory.

Since then, Xian Yu Zhongtong has a speculative mentality. He is very clear about his weight, so he never commands the battle himself. If he encounters a war, he will immediately ask someone to help him, commonly known as "hugging his thighs". If he wins, he will be the one who is responsible for his own contribution. If he loses, he will take the blame. For example, when he pacified the Nanzhao Rebellion, he did a perfect job and gave up his command position. After victory, he will be his own. It can be said that he has low risk and high returns.

Therefore, after Xian Yu Zhongtong left Shu, he was so anxious to find the king's army, and wanted to join forces with other king's army, decisively handed over command, and sat silently in the corner waiting for the harvest.

When he learned that Gu Qing's Anxi army was not far from him, he was even more happy.

Gu Qing is an old acquaintance. He is smart and knowledgeable in advance and retreat, and is quite capable in fighting. He relied on military merits to be promoted to the county duke. The entire Tang Dynasty royal army was beaten to the point of being unable to raise its head, but the Anxi army won again and again, which became a rare highlight in the battle to suppress the rebellion.

If the 30,000 Shu troops fight with the Anxi Army, the possibility of success and fame is very high.

At this moment, Xianyu Zhongtong was like a long-standing stock market retail investor, measuring the gains and losses of capital with a wise mind. After thinking twice, he decided to invest all his savings on Gu Qing, a blue-chip stock.

If this battle is won, the young model in the club will be defeated. If this battle is lost, Gu Qing will take the blame.

So Xianyu Zhongtong decided to set out eastward, and the entire army headed to Dengzhou to meet with the Anxi Army.

I have to say that Xian Yu Zhongtong is not a fool. He at least has a very clear understanding of himself. He knows how much he has and never does anything beyond his ability. If he has to do it, then it is most suitable to find someone to take the blame.

Power? It doesn't matter. In areas where he is not good at, controlling power is far less than a victory recorded in his name.

Anyone can give it to command. What’s important is that he still has absolute control over the 30,000 Shu troops, and he has the power to stop and withdraw at any time.

This is a typical civil servant idea. Xian Yu Zhongtong's little abacus fully expresses the civil servant's character.

Half a month after marching, 30,000 Shu troops finally arrived near Anxi Daying.

When he was thirty miles away from the Anxi Army camp, Xian Yu Zhongtong, who was located in the central army, found that the figures of scouts in the nearby forests were looming. The vanguard often saw fast horses running towards the direction of the camp, obviously reporting to the camp the military situation of unknown troops.

Xian Yu Zhongtong saw it and couldn't help but praise the quality of the Anxi Army soldiers.

This is the appearance of an elite army. Although the Shu army is also a border army and has many conflicts with Tubo on the border for many years, in comparison, the Anxi army seems to be much stronger than the Shu army.

When there were still ten miles from the Anxi Army camp, a cavalry was quietly waiting for the Shu army in the middle of the mountain road. The cavalry was led by a side general. He probably saw the flags of the Shu army and judged that this should be a friendly army. Then he showed his status and asked.

When he learned that it was the royal army of the Jiannan Road Jiedushi Office, the Anxi Army, the partial general, politely paid tribute to North Korea Yu Zhong and then left.

When 30,000 Shu troops arrived outside the gate of the Anxi Army camp, they found that thousands of Anxi Army soldiers stood quietly in armor outside the gate, and lined up to the Shu troops to hold swords as a ritual.

Gu Qing stood in front of the queue, smiling at Xian Yu Zhongtong who was walking quickly after getting off the horse in the distance.

After a moment, the two stood opposite each other and bowed to each other.
Chapter completed!
