Chapter 16: One Hair Moves the Whole Body (Part 2)

"Aye"

Before coming here, the messenger first met Guo Yao. Although he didn't know the specific content of the letter, he also told Guo Yao about the general situation.

Therefore, before coming to see Guo Ziyi, he already had an idea.

"Is it the confrontation between the Holy Emperor's Envoy and the Uighur elites and the Shattered Ye Army?"

"Well, the messenger told you, alas, everyone said that I, Guo, treat people generously. As expected, if Li Guangbi is here, whether it is true or not, he will definitely order his subordinates to kill you and the messenger."

Guo Yao was a little embarrassed, and he stumbled and said, "Why is it not good to be generous? Aye is generous and kind, and is elegant and generous, not just to be indulged. If he is as strict as Li Hedong, he is still good at dealing with ordinary soldiers, but he is not able to deal with military generals..."

Guo Ziyi was also funny and stopped him quickly, "Who are you? How dare you criticize people without authorization? Lucky has the benefits of being lenient, and strictness has the same reason. Everyone has their own way. Okay, let me tell you quickly, what do you think about the sudden arrival of the Sacred Ye Jun and Huaishuo Town?"

Guo Yao said seriously: "The child just returned to Shuofang Army last year and has been working in the farthest Shiniu Town for a long time. He naturally has more feelings about the Sailing Ye Jun."

"As far as I know, the territory of the Saiye Army has exceeded that of the former Western Turkic Khanate, and its military and civilian power are far superior. Not long ago, the westernmost Khanate came to challenge it, and it was a defeat again if nothing unexpected happened. The Saiye Army is now the only one in the Western Regions."

"It's August now, and An Ni raised his army at the end of last year. From the nearest Beiting to Huaishuo Town, it took less than three thousand miles. The Sailing Ye Army also brought a large amount of food and supplies, and the speed was not fast. However, it would take at least three months for the news of An Ni's rise to Beiting. Then Sun Lang decided to send troops to draw troops and horses for a month."

"According to walking fifty miles a day, three thousand miles a day takes at least two months, which is seven months in total. It's nothing, but as far as I know, Bai Xiaode, who was under his command, had secretly arrived in Mobei as early as last year, and appeared in Liaodong in the first half of this year!"

"In this way, if Sun Lang had not mastered the internal information of the rebels and made predictions in advance, he would have had a big plan early in the morning. He would have just waited for another opportunity. An Ni's rebellion was this opportunity!"

Guo Ziyi waved his hand, "It's not just him, but the Tubo people in Hexi also sent large troops to seize the many castles that Geshuhan had worked hard to build in the past? But the Dangxiang people in Longyou and Shuofang were originally at peace, but when they were unfair, they started the matter."

"Even these people are like this, let alone Sun Xiurong?"

"What does Aye mean is the best?"

"Apart from Bai Xiaode's affairs, everything else should be like this."

"That......"

"What do you mean?"

"Aye, if the message is accurate, then the camps brought by Sun Xiurong this time should be between six or seven. One camp can be fought at all, half of which can be dismounted and stairs, and the terrifying firearms..."

"I'm scared of hearing the news? Not that, I heard... Forget it, I won't say that anymore."

"Aye is talking about the loud noises in Chang'an City. It originally took another year to be put into the production of the Arsenal Department, but not long after, An Ni's rebellion broke out. With the fall of Chang'an, everything was about to start over, and it didn't take long to get it done again."

"The Sai Ye Army has long been familiar with all this. Whether it is field battles or siege, they have powerful tools. The Sai Ye Army has extremely strict regulations. There are certain rules for marching and camping. There are rules for how to place cooking, toilets, etc., and those who violate the rules will be severely punished."

"So, unless you encounter a very unfamiliar terrain, you will not suffer any losses in general. When they set out to fight with them, is it too big? There are all those in the Tang army, and there are still those in the Tang army that do not have. The soldiers are more powerful than the Tang army. How can you fight this battle?"

"Not to mention six or seven camps, even if he walks in the desert alone, he will definitely have the effect of Li Ling killing tens of thousands of Hun cavalry with five thousand infantry in the desert. He may be stronger than Li Ling's infantry, after all, there are firearms."

"Besides, Jia Dan, who was a Jinshi, was a famous master of mapping when he was in Guizhou. How could Sun Xiurong not do anything to do well with him? Besides, they were familiar with the terrain before, so it was unlikely that they would trap him with the benefits of the terrain."

Guo Ziyi smiled and said, "If I say so, I can only be indifferent and let him do whatever he wants?"

Guo Yao shook his head, "Of course not. In recent years, the children have been thinking about it. If they want to deal with the Thunder Ye Army, they must be good at the weather. If there is continuous rain and snow, their firearms will be useless. Second, they will start a sudden attack and suddenly encounter them with the absolute advantage of the number of people. They will not be able to exert their military advantage. Then, the three armies will have a chance to win."

"What's more, the Uighur Khan's current situation has stabilized. There are hundreds of thousands of people controlling strings in the north of the Mo, and they are extremely able to endure hunger. The Sacrifice Army once killed Mo Yanchu, the father of Ye Hu Khan, and had previously carried a large number of troops and passed through his jurisdiction. How could anyone not hold a grudge?"

"What's more, there are five thousand elite Uighurs there. Let's wait and see if Ye Hu Khan makes up his mind to fight the Ye army with a decisive battle, even if he still cannot win, he can still kill him a lot. Even if he wants to take advantage of the situation, he will not be able to get it."

"You mean I'll ignore it?"

"Yes, at most, a small number of troops were sent to strengthen the defense of Zhongshoujiang City, which not only responded to the Dunhuang King and Pugu Huai'en, but also increased the intention of An Chongzhang to stick to it."

Guo Ziyi thought for a while, "Well, I'll follow you."

"Where is Li Hedong?"

"I am the serious Shuofang Jiedushi, what's the matter with Li Hedong?"

......

It was almost the same as Duan Xiushi's expectation. Li Heng, who was in Lingzhou, was shocked when he learned about the news of Ye Jun.

At this time, Li Mi was not his adviser to him, so he could only believe the senior officials Fang Guan and others sent to him by the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, the time is ripe"

When Prime Minister Fang Guan learned about it, he paid great attention to Li Heng.

"Oh", unlike Fang Guan's joy, Li Heng was full of sorrow. An Lushan made him anxious. If he added another Ye Jun, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, the sudden appearance of the Ye army in the north is definitely not for our country, but for the northern border."

"Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, even if the Sailye Army has ambitions, if you want to come to Tang, you must pass through Fengzhou, Hedong or Youzhou, Fengzhou, and Hedong, and there is not enough food to eat. Hebei and Jingji Road will also need support. Sun Xiurong must not be unaware of this."

"In comparison, Youzhou has a large population and abundant food and grass. If Sun Xiurong takes action, he will definitely go south from Youzhou. Only there will be enough food and grass to provide assistance. Moreover, this person attaches great importance to Dingkou, and Youzhou Dingkou is the highest in Hebei."

"So he went for An Ni?"

"It's hard to say it clearly in one sentence. Anyway, they will not be connected. An Ni has already proclaimed himself emperor. Who is Sun Xiurong? He will never live in the middle of a long time. At present, most of An Ni's army is restrained by our army in Hedong, Henan, Guanzhong, and Youzhou. I guess he sent troops because he was interested in this!"

"Then I'll wait..."

"Your Majesty, the appearance of the Shattered Ye Army will definitely make An Ni in Henan restless. Now is the perfect time for us to recover Chang'an!"

Therefore, under Fang Guan's persuasion, Chen Tao's battle happened earlier than in history, and Fang Guan took charge.

The ending is naturally self-evident.

No one reported to An Lushan, but the news that the sudden appearance of Ye Jun was still spread to An Lushan's ears through Shi Siming.

After repeated confirmation that there was only one camp, the purpose was Li Huaide's men, and when he was still robbed through the Khitan tribe, An Lushan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Bai Xiaode's troops who remained in Yu Pass were finally a sharp blade hanging high on his head. Although there were not many people, no one knew when it would fall.

"Yan Qing, draft an order quickly"

Yan Zhuang, who was standing beside him, quickly sat upright.

"First, let Shi Siming's troops understand the reality of the Sai Ye Army as soon as possible. If there is really only one camp, let Xiang Runrong from Youzhou send troops to support him, you must seize Yu Pass as soon as possible. In addition, Xu Guidao is appointed as the governor of Pinglu, and let him lead 3,000 elite troops to Liucheng to take office. After arriving, he will recruit 7,000 people on the spot. Tell him not to be stingy with money and recruit from the surrounding tribes."

"Secondly, since Yelu Nieli has had a quarrel with the Thunder Ye Army, now it is our opportunity. Send people to the Khitan tribe and sign Yelu Nieli as the king of Yizi side by side. If he is willing to draw troops south to assist the Dayan war, it is better. If it doesn't work, it's better to help us repel the Thunder Ye Army."

"Your Majesty, my subordinates understand, but why is it better to confer the king of Yelu Nieli?"

"Well, the Khitan land is close to Liaodong, so I will make him the King of Liao. Tell him that if he can send troops south to help my Dayan capture the world, the land east of Yuguan will belong to him!"

"His Majesty!"

"It's okay, I finally understand that the Tang Dynasty is too big. The troops we are going south are not enough. Those who are reluctant to surrender to us are mostly people at both ends of the rat. It's really hard to trust them completely. If you rely solely on the military power of Youzhou, when will the world be unified?"

"There are eight Khitans, and now there are at least 50,000 households, which means they can produce 50,000 elite cavalry. The combat power of the Khitans is still above the Silver Sad Khitan, which is stronger than the Yiluohe River. If this help is available, it can quickly capture the world, at least it can truly kill the Tang army, which is worth it."

"When we completely gain a foothold, not to mention anything else, if we have a place north of the river, we will have enough strength to recover Yingzhou and Anton!"

Yan Zhuang's face was happy. In fact, before the rebellion, he urged An Lushan to reconcile with the Khitans. However, at that time, An Lushan thought that the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty was weak and vulnerable, so he did not accept the opinions of the two of them. The soldiers were a little stretched, so he remembered the previous suggestions of the two. Although it was a little late, it still remembered the situation where foreign enemies were forced to remember it, but it was very good to remember it.

"The Lord is wise!"

An Lushan continued: "However, we must also make preparations. If the Khitans do not go south, we must also speed up the transportation of property and food to Youzhou."

Yan Zhuang's expression suddenly became dark after hearing this, thinking to himself: "Your Majesty has not made up his mind to seize the world after all."

In fact, An Lushan, who has been a senior official in Neibian Town for a long time, is much more sober than him.

"The Tang Dynasty is too big. From the perspective of Hebei and most counties in Henan still care about it. Even if they are reluctant to occupy it, it will be difficult to capture the hearts of the people. At present, the border towns are dominant, so it is better to secede the Zixiong of Hebei. When you return to Youzhou, remove your honorary title and continue to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Most of them will agree. At that time, I will be strong in my army and have enough food, and the court will not be able to do anything for a while."
