After Zhao Ziliang received Xuanzong's reply from the holy decree, he immediately sent someone to Fangcheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info A few days later, news came from Jiangdong that the rebellious Yongwang Li Lan was defeated, and was caught up and killed by the Jiangxi interview in the process of escaping, and Li Luan's son Li Wei was also killed by the rebels in the escape, and then the Huangfu Yu sent people to escort all Li Luan's wives and children to Chang'an.

Li Lan's wife and concubines and children were still on the way to Chang'an, after the news reached Chang'an, Xuanzong was very sad about the death of Li Luan's father and son, he thought that Li Lan was his own son no matter what he said, even if he was wrong, he should not be killed by Huangfu Yu, plus other princes, princesses and royal relatives pointed at Huangfu Yu, so Xuanzong decided not to reuse Huangfu Yu.

On the second day of the first month of March, Zhao Ziliang saw that the war in the south and southeast was favorable to our side, and An Qingxu and his courtiers were attracted to the front line of Fangcheng and Nanyang, so he immediately commanded the army to march out of Tongguan and march to Shaanxi County.

On the one hand, Zhao Ziliang's army commanded the troops to march into Shaanxi County, on the other hand, he ordered Wang to command 20,000 troops out of Pujin Pass to approach Anyi, waiting for an opportunity to attack Anyi, and at the same time ordered Duan Xiushi of the Anxi Army to lead 3,000 mountain soldiers to be the vanguard to clean up the mountains and forests around Lingbao and prevent the Yan army from setting up ambushes in the mountains of Lingbao.

Lingbao used to be called Taolin County, but it was renamed Lingbao County from the first year of Tianbao, and it was here that Geshuhan was hit hard by Cui Qianyou, the general of the Yan Army. The general of the Yan army, Neng Yuanhao, originally ambushed thousands of soldiers and horses in the mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road leading from Tongguan to Lingbao, and was equipped with a large number of rolling stones and trees, and only waited for the Tang army to pass by to ambush, how could Zhao Ziliang be as fooled as Ge Shuhan? Therefore, Duan Xiushi was first sent to lead 3,000 mountain soldiers to clean the narrow mountain road in Lingbao County, and a large number of Yan troops ambushed in the mountains and forests were discovered, and under the attack of the Tang army, they fled one after another, and many people rolled down the mountain and fell to their deaths when fleeing in the mountains.

The demoralized Yan army had to give up Lingbao and retreat to Shaanxi County, Neng Yuanhao learned that the deployment in Lingbao County was destroyed by the Tang army, not only did not hit the Tang army hard, but was hit hard by the Tang army, and immediately sent people to Luoyang to report to Luoyang in a panic.

An Qingxu, who had just suffered a lot of losses in the south, had to send troops and horses from Luoyang to reinforce Neng Yuanhao, and at this time there were not many generals in the Luoyang Dayan Dynasty who could lead troops, and An Qingxu sent Tian Chengsi to command 50,000 troops to reinforce Neng Yuanhao, plus Neng Yuanhao's original men and horses, and the Yan army also had about 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shaanxi County.

On the tenth day of the first month of March, the Tang army captured the entire territory of Lingbao County without blood, and Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chenghei in Shaanxi County were like facing a great enemy, and the atmosphere from Lingbao to Shaanxi County was unprecedentedly tense, and the business travel was also cut off, and the small rules of the scouts on both sides occurred from time to time.

Zhao Ziliang led his troops to temporarily camp in Lingbao, and sent his son Zhao Ting to command 10,000 troops to cross the Yellow River north to capture Ruicheng, at this time Wang Rare has led 20,000 troops from Pujin Pass to Anyi, Zhao Ting captured Ruicheng and continued to advance rapidly along the north bank of the Yellow River to the east, capturing Pinglu, which connects Shaanxi County to Anyi. In this way, Zhao Ting can not only support Wang Rare to attack Cui Qianyou in the north at any time, but also cross the river to the south to cooperate with Zhao Ziliang's main force to attack Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chenghei in Shaanxi County.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for the Yan army, Cui Qianyou in Anyi only had 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the menacing Wang rarely had 20,000, plus the road between Anyi and Shaanxi County was cut off by Zhao Ting, Cui Qianyou faced the danger of attacking both the south and the west at the same time.

Wenxi to the north of Anyi was garrisoned by the Hedong Army at this time, and Wenxi County was in the middle of the two basins of Jinju and Anyi, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Yan army was never able to attack the Hedong Army north through here.

To the east of Anyi is Zhongtiao Mountain, which was cut off by the Tang army to the south and back, and to the west, there was a rare 20,000 army of Wang crushing, and Cui Qianyou, who was located in Anyi, seemed to be surrounded on all sides.

Cui Qianyou obviously realized that he was in a disadvantageous position, and the choice given to him now was either to fight Zhao Ting's army to the south, break through Zhao Ting's army's defense line, cross the river and join up with Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chenghei in Shaanxi County, or use his army to fight Wang Rare, if he could defeat Wang Rare, he would still have a chance to break through from Zhao Ting's army and jump out of the encirclement.

No matter which choice it is, it is not easy for Cui Qianyou, if he attacks Zhao Ting's army to the south, even if the breakthrough is successful, he will have to prepare a large number of ships to cross the Yellow River, but he is afraid that before he can raise enough ships, Wang's rare army of 20,000 will be killed from behind, if he goes out of the city to fight with Wang Rare, Zhao Tingjun, who got the news, is afraid that he will not be relieved to boldly fight with Wang Rare, and timely support will arrive quickly, and then his army will be attacked in both directions.

Cui Qianyou also has another choice, that is, to give up Anyi, lead the troops to the east into the Zhongtiao Mountain, all the way to the east, as long as you get out of the Zhongtiao Mountain, there is a way to live, but in this way, I am afraid that the last remaining people of this 10,000 army are not bad, the morale of the Yan army is not high, and let the soldiers trek through the mountains and rivers, I am afraid that the army will collapse after entering the mountains.

On March 16, Cui Qianyou decided to abandon Anyi, led his troops south to attack Zhao Ting's army, prepared to break through from Pinglu, and then quickly fled east along the north bank of the Yellow River, without crossing the river to join Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chenghei.

It is a pity that Zhao Ting seems to have been prepared for a long time, when he learned that Cui Qianyou led his troops to Pinglu to kill, he immediately led his troops north to block the mountain road leading from Anyi to Pinglu, the two sides fought in the Zhongtiao Mountain for two days and two nights, the morale of the Yan army plummeted, and Cui Qianyou was also beaten down by Zhao Ting with Fang Tian's halberd and fell into the mountains and forests.

After the battle, Zhao Ting sent people down the hillside to search, found Cui Qianyou in a coma, and immediately escorted him back to Pinglu, at this time Wang Rare also led his troops into Anyi, after a little rest in Anyi, left a small number of soldiers and horses to garrison in Anyi, and immediately went south with most of them to join Zhao Ting.

When the news reached Lingbao, Zhao Ziliang immediately commanded an army of 110,000 to approach Shaanxi County, and Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chenghei in Shaanxi County were greatly frightened, but at this time, An Qingxu sent someone from Luoyang to send an edict, so that the two of them could defend Shaanxi County, but Shaanxi County was not in danger at all.

Wang Tianyuan and Zhao Tingjun, who were north of the Yellow River, were not to be worried, they needed a large number of ships to cross the river, and only Zhao Ziliang's army, which advanced from the west, put the greatest pressure on Shaanxi County.

The wall of Shaanxi County is not tall and thick, and it is impossible to resist the siege of the army, and after discussing with Tian Chenghei, Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi still decided to send troops to open a position outside the city to engage the Tang army, which is much stronger than the passive defense of the retraction of the city.

On March 20, the Tang army arrived at the city of Shaanxi County, and Energy and Tian Chengsi sent out their barracks, and 210,000 horses on both sides were placed in the open space west of the city of Shaanxi County, occupying a radius of more than ten miles.

Flags were fluttering everywhere, and after the sound of drums and horns, Tian Chengsi rode out to challenge himself with martial arts and bravery.

"Well, Zhao Ziliang, the commander of the Tang Army, you were my master when I carried out martial arts in the early years, and I treated you like a teacher. I heard that you are strong in martial arts, and I Tian has never fought with you, if you have the courage to fight to the death with me today, otherwise you will go back from where you came from! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled when he heard Tian Chengsi's words, and said to Li Siye: "General Li, you go and meet him!" Tell him that I am the commander of the army, how can I easily fight alone with a junior like him, even if I win him, I will not be able to win! If you want to fight me, he's not qualified enough! If he can beat you, it's not too late for me to play! ”

"Command!" Li Siye excitedly agreed, and with a Mo knife, he rode his horse towards Tian Chengsi.

"Law-" Li Siye stopped not far from Tian Chengsi and shouted: "Tian Chengsi, your opponent is me!" If you want to challenge the handsome, it's not enough to qualify, I'll talk about it if you win! Drive-"

"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't make it? Don't think that you have made some name in Anxi, so you dare to spread wild in front of my Tian Chenghei, today you will definitely be splashed with blood on the spot! Drive-"

The two rushed over to each other, and soon fought together, only to see the weapons of both sides come and go, killing inextricably, Tian Chengsi has been fighting with Murwei and Qianjin in the northeast all the year round, and the army is strictly organized, so not only is the ability to command the army extraordinary, but his own martial arts are also extraordinary, so he just started to fight with Li Siye, and he did not fall behind.

After more than 100 rounds of fighting between the two, Tian Chengsi dared to lose his physical strength, originally discussed with Neng Yuanhao and decided to challenge the generals of the Tang Army, and then pretended to be invincible and fled back to the formation, the Tang Army will inevitably wave its troops to attack, and when the Tang Army attacked to the front, Neng Yuanhao commanded the army to suddenly carry out a fierce counterattack, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to pretend at all, he couldn't hold it at this time, he could only force Li Siye back with one move, and immediately hit the horse and turned around and galloped towards the formation.

Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered: "The whole army attacks!" ”

At this time, Zhao Ziliang felt that there was no need to play any tricks with Yan Jun anymore, in the face of absolute strength, playing tricks was not only a waste of time, but also troublesome.

At the beginning of the total, the 60,000 infantry of the Chinese army advanced head-on, the Modao army at the front stepped on the drum and held the Modao to open the way in front, and the cavalry of the Beiting Army on both wings attacked at the same time.

When the Tang army was about to rush to the front, there were already a large number of Yan soldiers who couldn't help but be afraid to flee, at this time Neng Yuan Hao gave an order, so that the 100,000 Yan army immediately counterattacked.

Pretend to be invincible first, and wait for the Tang army to chase and kill to the front, and then the Yan army will launch a fierce attack, this trick has been used many times by the Yan army generals, and each time it has been tried repeatedly, the Tang army generals who were defeated under this tactic first had Bi Sichen, Cheng Qianli, and later Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, and even Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi and others have suffered big losses under this tactic.

But this time, Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi found that the tactics that had been tried and tested in the past failed to play any role at all in front of Zhao Ziliang, not only did they not work, but they also lost faster and more miserably.

Zhao Ziliang stood on the handsome platform and observed the battlefield situation with a telescope, and sneered: "Hmph, you want this tactic to deal with me? Only to die faster! ”

Next to him, Chu Ge asked: "Marshal, the rebels have repeatedly used this tactic against the imperial army in the past, but they have been tried and tested repeatedly, why not only did it not have an effect this time, but it was defeated faster?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "I thought that the imperial army faced by the rebels in the past was either a market man without the slightest combat power, or a mixed army of various armies, even if the army was strong, as long as multiple teams were mixed together, without cooperation, they would still be defeated, but our army is different, our army has been fully run-in, skillful and tacit, and the combat power is not comparable to other ordinary armies, so this time the rebels not only failed to succeed, but defeated faster!" The defeat of Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chenghei has been decided, and the order is to go down and pursue it in an all-round way! ”

"No!"
