In the silence of moistening things, a poisonous seed that Feng Yu quietly planted for An Qingxu has sprouted. In the near future, it will bloom with the charming and charming flower of the other side.

An Lushan had no fate to accomplish great things. When he thought that his army had captured Chang'an City, the country was within his reach, but he never thought that no matter how strong the fortress was, it would eventually be broken from the inside.

The disaster of Xiao Gun originated from inequality.

Power, money, and beauty are all the root causes of chaos.

Feng Yu was the one who unveiled the seal of chaos, and he released the devil in An Qingxu's heart.

A second-generation ancestor like An Qingxu may not have the ability to succeed, but he must have the ability to fail.

…………

Outside Dengzhou City, the Anxi Army Camp.

The troops have been stationed for more than a month, and it is now the late autumn season of the 14th year of Tianbao. Before the weather gets colder, the soldiers of the Anxi Army finally put on new clothes.

No one knows how the money for the new clothes on his body came from. Every trace of the blood and tears of Mr. Gu... and Shuangwaiwai.

Huangfu Sisi is doing business like crazy recently. She leads her personal guards to visit Dengzhou City every day. The unsold goods in the city due to war in the north were taken down by Huangfu Sisi at an extremely low price, and then stockpiled them in the back army's supplies. By the way, the goods she brought from Luoyang before were cleared and empty, and the price difference was made by buying and selling. The 5,000 guan owed Gu Qing's money was quickly paid back.

In the past month, news finally came from the scouts sent by the Anxi Army.

The scouts who came out in batches had contacted Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others. Tongguan was broken, Li Longji fled to the southwest in panic, and Guo Ziyi stayed in Chang'an. After Li Longji left, Guo Ziyi led 10,000 troops out of Chang'an and headed north. He encountered sporadic soldiers of rebels on the way. After fighting with them, Guo Ziyi led his army to a bloody road, opening up a path from Chang'an to the north Shuofang Jiedushi Mansion, and then set up camp in Shuofang.

Li Guangbi led 5,000 troops and Guo Ziyi to separate his troops and cruised around Fengzhou, Qizhou, Guanzhong, and also fought sporadic soldiers and horses with rebels. However, in the end, more defeats were more than defeats, and after paying the price of two thousand people, Li Guangbi had to lead his army into the Qinling Mountains.

Compared with the Anxi Army's three battles and three victories against the rebels, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi scored in an extremely embarrassing way.

This result is actually very normal. Gu Qing's command is the Anxi Army, the most elite border army in the Tang Dynasty. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi led the Chang'an defenders. The defenders have not experienced war for decades. Many of them are meritorious children and civilians. They have no experience in killing enemies. They are lazy in their practice. They are used to eating Taiping Food and their combat quality is so low. The competition with An Lushan's rebels is simply not at the same level, and they are purely crushed.

Gu Qing stood by the sand table in the commander's tent, solemnly inserted the positions of Guo Ziyi's troops and Li Guangbi's troops into the sand table with a small flag, and then stood by the sand table, touching his chin and pondering for a long time.

The current battle situation is quite difficult. The only thing that can be fought in the entire Tang Dynasty is the Anxi Army, and the others are Lese.

Of course, Gu Qing is still very confident in Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. The ability of famous generals who can leave their names in history must be general. The current decline is just the beginning. Give them some time and they will have a way to make their troops stronger.

In other words, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi still need time to develop in a vulgar way.

The Prince Li Heng, Gao Xianzhi, An Chongzhang and other scouts had not yet contacted them, and Gu Qing did not expect much from them, because they also led the Guanzhong army. In today's Tang Dynasty, only the border troops are worthy of being elite. The army led by Prince Li Heng and Gao Xianzhi and others have basically no combat power.

After such a comparison, Gu Qing found that the Anxi Army under his command had become the only force to turn the tide.

After staring at the sand table for a long time, Gu Qing suddenly called Han Jie and said, "Send the order to recall the scouts who are looking for His Highness the Prince's troops. There is no need to deliberately look for His Highness the Prince's troops in the future. The Anxi Army will seek out the fighter opportunity and resolve the rebels by itself."

Han Jie was quite surprised by Gu Qing's decision, but Duan Wuji smiled slightly from the side and said, "General Han, do what he said, and the man will do, he will have his own concerns."

Han Jie received the order.

Duan Wuji chuckled and said, "Does the prince want to break off contact with the prince's troops?"

Gu Qing didn't look back and nodded lightly, saying, "I originally wanted to go through the motions and say a few beautiful words after contacting the prince. What ministers are willing to obey the prince's orders, etc., can be considered as burning a cold stove in front of the prince in advance. But now if the Anxi Army contacts the prince, I am afraid that the prince will make the Anxi Army's idea. If he relies on his power to force the command of the Anxi Army, wouldn't I cause trouble for myself?"

Duan Wuji nodded and agreed: "Yes, the students also agreed with the prince's idea. Now that the rebels are in rebellion, the Hexi Army has been defeated, and the Longyou Army is traveling to the southwest with His Majesty. The Beiting Army does not know where to go to the battle. The only one in the world who can fight the rebels head-on is the Anxi Army. The prince must have coveted the Anxi Army, so it is best to ignore them in pairs."

Gu Qing stared at the sand table and sighed: "But my Anxi army cannot fight head-on with the rebels. The number of people is quite different. It can only gradually weaken outside Guanzhong, and consume the strength of the rebels piece by piece like cutting meat..."

Duan Wuji said seriously: "Mr. Master, the students thought that the Anxi army could attack appropriately. After An Lushan occupied Chang'an, the entire Guanzhong became his territory. Although his power was great, his power could not be concentrated. Every time he occupied a place and a city, he had to send troops to guard and maintain it. In such a large Guanzhong, there were so many cities and every city, and the students thought that there were actually not many main forces of the rebels stationed in Chang'an."

Gu Qing smiled and praised: "Yes, you can already stand alone."

Duan Wuji smiled modestly and said, "Students learned all these abilities by their husbands."

Gu Qing said again: "Although it makes sense, you cannot ignore the ambition of An Lushan. What he wants is not only Chang'an and Guanzhong, but what he wants is the entire Tang Dynasty. Before he forced the emperor to go out of Beijing to visit, most of the troops in the world are still mobilizing. Before he had time to join forces to attack, An Lushan would definitely march south immediately. As long as he conquers and occupy the roads one by one, this country will probably change his surname to An."

Duan Wuji said in confusion: "An Lushan has just occupied Guanzhong and has not yet digested it. He is going to march south again?"

Gu Qing nodded: "If I were An Lushan, I would definitely choose to march south immediately. Even if I decisively give up the defense of some cities in the rear, I would still sweep the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty. After the sweeping, even if there are still people to resist, it will be a sporadic scabies. It is not worth mentioning that it can be easily destroyed. The important thing is that after occupying the south, the general situation has been established and no one can turn it around. If it were you, would you march?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while, nodded helplessly and said, "If the student was An Lushan, he would probably really choose to go south. What the grandfather said is reasonable."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, the scouts should hear news. While it is still peaceful near Dengzhou, you and Liu Hongbo should quickly train the 4,000 new recruits. After the Anxi Army is reduced, we must make up for it. Our soldiers cannot fight less and less."

"yes."

…………

Five days later, the scouts moved out of the enemy-occupied area from the direction of Hangu Pass and entered the Anxi Army camp to report military information.

An Lushan ordered a half month ago to send 20,000 troops to march south, first to Hangu Pass to the east, then occupy Luoyang City, open up and restore the grain channels that the Anxi Army had cut off, and finally dispatched the troops to the south and march into Xuzhou.

Gu Qing immediately ordered the drums to gather the generals.

In the commander's tent, the generals gathered together, among which Sun Jiushi, the new battalion commander of the Shiniu Camp, was also on the list. He was mixed with a group of old killers, like a quail that had accidentally entered a tiger cage, sitting honestly in the corner without daring to speak.

All the generals surrounded the sand table, watching Gu Qing's fingers gesture on the sand table. From Dengzhou to Xuzhou, hundreds of miles away, the entire Anxi army was full of cavalry. If they travel day and night, they could reach outside Xuzhou City a day and a night.

Pointing to Xuzhou City on the sand table, Gu Qing smiled and said, "An Lushan has sent troops again. This time the target is Xuzhou. Xuzhou's garrison is loose. If we don't expect a defender, just treat it as an empty city."

Li Siye laughed and said, "Twenty thousand rebels, each with fifty cents of each head, it's only a thousand guan. Haha, An Lushan is so stingy, why don't he send more heads? How can our sons make money?"

The generals burst into laughter, and Gu Qing also smiled, pointed at him, and said, "A arrogant soldier will be defeated. It's okay to take advantage of it, but you must not underestimate the rebels in your heart, otherwise you will wait for the rebels to take your head."

Chang Zhong said: "Mr. What is the meaning of Mr., let's eat these 20,000 rebels this time?"

Gu Qing nodded: "Yes, eat it, so that the rebels dare not go south. I will not participate in the command this time. Chang Zhong, Shen Tian, ​​you guys discuss tactics, I'll just watch it from the side."

The generals were confused by Gu Qing's decision. Duan Wuji smiled and explained: "Mr. Master means that you will let the generals learn to find their own fighter opportunities and tactics to lay a foundation for the generals to be the only one in the future."

Gu Qing smiled at him with approval, and then said, "I am not your father, so I can't count on me to give orders all my life, right? This time you try to discuss tactics yourself. If it is not suitable, I will speak. If it is appropriate, follow your decision."

The generals suddenly realized, but Li Siye scratched his head uneasy and said, "Please ask the grandpa to order directly. The general only knows fighting on the battlefield. We will not do this power and tactics."

The generals also nodded one after another.

Gu Qing laughed and scolded: "What a big man, haven't weaned yet? Twenty thousand rebels are not difficult for you. You should quickly discuss and decide. Soldiers are the most important. If you agree, send troops immediately."

After the generals looked at each other, Chang Zhong finally took the lead in discussing with the generals.

Gu Qing looked at them quietly from the side, with a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Chapter completed!
