Tibet

Chapter 758 Offending the Villain
  Nine military governors besieged Anyang County in Xiangzhou, which attracted the attention of the world.

Including Shuofang Jiedushi Guo Ziyi, Hedong Jiedushi Li Guangbi, Zhenbeiting Xingying Jiedushi Li Siye, Xingping Army Jiedushi Li Huan, Huapu Jiedushi Xu Shuji, Xiangyang Jiedushi Deputy Envoy Du Kuan, Huaixi Jiedushi Deputy envoy Lu Jiong, Guan Nei Zelu's envoy Wang Sili, and Zheng Cai's envoy Zhang Xun.

Because of Li Ye's appearance, history has been deflected, and many historical figures have also changed.

For example, Ji Guangchen should appear as the military envoy of Zheng and Cai, but he is now the military envoy of Xiangyang, and Li Ye did not let him come forward and asked the deputy envoy Du Kuan to come forward.

Another example is Zhang Xun. He was supposed to defend Suiyang County in Songzhou to stop the Yan army from attacking Jianghuai, but no one was willing to save him. In the end, food was cut off and the whole city perished, which was very tragic.

It was also because of Li Ye's appearance that history went awry. Yan general Yin Ziqi did lead an army of [-] to attack Songzhou, while Zhang Xun led [-] soldiers to resist desperately in Suiyang County for ninety days.

However, due to Li Ye's sneak attack and capture of Chang'an, An Lushan ordered An Qingxu to encircle Wei, save Zhao, and attack Jingxiang, forcing Li Ye to return his troops. An Lushan's decree forced An Qingxu to stop attacking Songzhou, and the army turned to attack Jingxiang.

This virtually relieved Zhang Xun from the siege, but Zhang Xun actually resisted for three months and destroyed the Yan army's plan to attack Jianghuai. He made great achievements, and the emperor Li Heng named him the military envoy of Zheng and Cai. Although the tragedy of killing his concubines and rewarding the army was avoided, Zhang Xun also lost the opportunity to be famous throughout the ages.

Life is like this, everything gained must be lost. If you save your life in this life, you will lose your reputation after death. Only death can be tragic, and only tragic can be remembered by future generations.

Yu Chaoen has arrived in Anyang County for three days. He first reviewed the [-]-strong army and was quite satisfied with the army.

He immediately ordered an army of [-] to besiege Anyang County. No one was allowed to attack the city without his order.

In fact, before Yu Chaoen arrived, the Tang army had launched several battles around Anyang County. Li Guangbi defeated An Qinghe's [-] troops in Weizhou, Gao Shang escaped, and An Qinghe was beheaded.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Ziyi wiped out Wu Lingxun's [-] troops in Neihuang County, and Wu Lingxun was killed by random arrows.

Guo Ziyi began to dig the tunnels of Anyang City again, preparing to divert Anyang water to pour into Anyang City. Li Guangbi mobilized trebuchets and prepared to use huge rocks to break open the city gate.

The attack on Anyang County was in full swing, but with the arrival of Yu Chaoen, everything came to a halt.

Yu Chaoen only allows siege, not attack. This is the emperor's order. Anyone who disobeys the order shall be executed!

That morning, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi came to the supervisor's tent together. Yu Chaoen was looking at his jade collection and asked without raising his head, "Why are you two here?"

Yu Chaoen is nominally the supervisor of the army, but in fact he is the commander. Any military action must be implemented with his consent, and he can also propose his own plan. What is that if he is not the commander?
  Li Guangbi held back his anger and said: "The enemy's troops are shaken and their morale is low. I think we should take this opportunity to attack the city in a big way, capture An Qingxu in one go, and put an end to the Anlushan Rebellion!"

Yu Chaoen said coldly: "If Anyang County is pacified, the world will be at peace. What should Shi Siming do?"

"Supervisor, Shi Siming is Shi Siming, and An Qingxu is An Qingxu. These are two different things. We are attacking Anyang, not Fan Yang."

"How does General Li know that these are two different things? Didn't you yourself say that Shi Siming is likely to come to rescue Anyang?"

Next to him, Guo Ziyi somewhat understood Yu Chaoen's intention. He asked with a smile: "Could it be that the Yu Army Envoy wants to besiege the city and bring reinforcements?"

Guo Ziyi's tone was modest and his attitude was gentle. Yu Chaoen nodded, "The old general is right, this is how the supervisory army considers it."

"This is simply unrealistic!"

Li Guangbi objected: "Shi Siming killed An Shouzhong and devoured An Qingxu's wealth. He wanted An Qingxu to die. How could he come to save him?"

"is it?"

Yu Chaoen said sarcastically: "General Li was also very confident that Wu Chengen would definitely kill Shi Siming. What happened? Shi Siming rebelled again. Is this what General Li expected?"

"you--"

Li Guangbi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Siming's surrender was not sincere at all. He was just pretending to surrender to recharge his batteries and make a comeback in the future. It is stupid to accept his surrender."

"General Li is criticizing the emperor for being stupid?"

Li Guangbi was filled with hatred, and he restrained his anger and said: "I didn't say that the Emperor was the emperor, I just said that Shi Siming couldn't believe it. We should destroy An Qingxu in one go. Then, while Shi Siming's troops were weak, we went north to destroy Shi Siming and wipe out the rebellion in one fell swoop."

"That's just your wishful thinking!" Yu Chaoen ignored Li Guangbi and asked Guo Ziyi, "Does the old general think Shi Siming will come to the rescue?"

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment and said: "Shi Siming will come to rescue An Qingxu in the end. I'm afraid that everyone's morale will be lost while waiting, which will delay the military envoy's opportunity to fight."

"Just be patient and besiege. When Anyang County is cut off from food, wouldn't it be the best outcome if we win without a fight?"

No matter how Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi tried to persuade them, Yu Chaoen refused to agree to attack the city. The two had no choice but to withdraw.

Li Guangbi looked up to the sky and sighed, "How can we win if we let a useless eunuch command an army of [-] people?"

Guo Ziyi winked at him urgently, and Li Guangbi said coldly: "If he wants to hear it, just listen! I don't care."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Guo Ziyi sighed secretly and had to shake his head and leave.

Yu Chaoen walked out slowly, looked at Li Guangbi's walking back, gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you insult me? If I don't kill you, I swear I won't be a human being!"

It was already June. The Helong Army and the Tubo Army fought twice last month, with each having its own victory or defeat. Li Ye led his army across the Yellow River and captured Guangwu County in the north of Lanzhou, annihilating a thousand Tibetan troops. The remaining people cleared the last obstacle to Hexi.

At the same time, Ma Chongying also led [-] Tibetan troops to attack Taozhou. Two thousand Tubo troops successfully attacked Momen Military City at night. Unfortunately, all [-] Tang troops guarding Momen Military City were killed. The news spread to Lintan County, and the Tang army guard general Wang Kuo knew that he could not defend the county seat, so he led more than a thousand Tang troops to withdraw to the east of Taoshui River. The Tibetan troops retook Taozhou.

The two sides did not continue fighting, and both sides temporarily recognized the dividing line of Taoshui. Li Ye needed time to train new recruits, and Ma Chongying also needed time to rebuild the intelligence system.

June was a relatively quiet month. Ma Chongying returned to Tubo to report to Zanpu on the latest situation in Longyou, and Li Ye also returned to Hanzhong.

Women are like water. She can kill a man's fighting spirit and make the weak-willed man completely sink. But she can also wash away the man's fatigue and make the strong-willed man regain his strength.

Just like opium, it is a drug, but it is also a medicine. The key depends on the person who uses it.

Li Ye was soaking in a bathtub filled with hot water. Yang Yuhuan lay on top of him as soft as a bone, stroking the stubble on Li Ye's chin with her white fingers, and said with a sweet smile: "Aren't you tired of eating one dish every day? ?”

Li Ye smiled and shook his head, "I'm going to live to be a hundred years old and eat until I'm a hundred years old."

"If you like eating so much, you should take it with you. You can do it at any time, right?" Yang Yuhuan looked at him with charming eyes.

"It's what you guys agreed upon!"

Li Ye said with a smile: "Yesterday, a little boy was crying and clamoring to come with me, but I didn't agree. Today, I changed my approach and used a different lobbyist."

"That's all your fault. It was you who wrote the letter to say that Jincheng is safe. Our hearts flew away. If you don't agree today, an old man will be there to teach you a lesson tomorrow."

Li Ye took her hand and hinted at her: "Let me think about it, it's best if you tempt me again and make me surrender. Maybe I will agree."

Yang Yuhuan understood this and his whole body sank into the water.

At night, a family meeting was held. Li Ye held his two daughters and said to everyone: "To be honest, there is not much of a safety problem. The conditions in Jincheng are not as good as Hanzhong. The air is slightly dry and the winter is very cold. I am prepared." It’s a large house covering an area of ​​fifteen acres. It was still being repaired when I left, and it will probably be almost done when I return.”

"Is there a female Taoist temple?" Pei Sanniang asked.

"Of course there is. There is a Xuanyuan Palace, which is the female Taoist temple. It is very close to our house, just over a hundred steps away. Madam, there is also a Buddhist temple. Don't worry!" Li Ye smiled and waved to Madam Mu.

Aunt Mu laughed happily like a child.

Li Ye pondered for a moment and then said solemnly: "There may be a fierce battle between Xia Qiu and the Tubo army. I originally considered taking everyone over after the fierce battle is over. This would be safer. Now that everyone wants to go over, although it is safe It’s a little weaker, but I’m sure I can ensure the safety of my family.”

Dugu Xinyue smiled and said: "Then take us there! I think it makes more sense to start a business together."
