From Xin'an to Changshi Mountain and Cijian, and traveling west for more than 70 miles is Luoyang. From here, there were no steep mountain roads and various natural dangers on the road along the north road of Wushan Road, and there was no cover for Luoyang. In the evening, Du Shiyi's army finally arrived in Xin'an and met Pugu Huai'en and Li Mingjun, when he heard Pugu Huai'en ask whether he would go to Luoyang overnight to prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow, he shook his head after pondering for a moment.

"The soldiers and the Shuofang army in Anbeiya City are both elite among the elites, not comparable to those mobs of Geshuhan before, and they are all over the way, and they are righteous and powerful. But even so, the area ahead is still controlled by the rebels, which is very different from the previous rescue of Chang'an, and there is no need to march overnight. There is no need to regain Luoyang. Even if our army is riding horses and not walking, we still need to cherish the horsepower and let the soldiers rest for a night. It is not too late to advance again tomorrow."

Li Mingjun hasn't seen Du Shiyi for many years, and at this moment he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "If General Guo has already arrived in Luoyang, then the general's support will be missing.

Pugu Huaien and Guo Ziyi are relatives of children. When they heard this, they immediately said angrily: "You might as well say it directly, for fear that Lao Guo will take the credit, don't judge a gentleman's affair with a villain. Lao Guo uses his troops steadily. He knows the situation in Luoyang City. Just watch, he will definitely meet the general under Luoyang City with the commander.

"What if the rebels huddled in the city and didn't come out?" Li Mingjun seemed to be worried and asked again.

"Li Mingjun, are you deliberately taking the test of the great general or what? Do you not know the news that the Hedong soldiers expelled Wang Chengye and sent troops south? At that time, two armies besieged Luoyang and swept the remaining rebels in Heluo, and sooner or later An Lushan became a turtle in the jar." Pugu Huain suddenly became impatient. He stared at Li Mingjun tightly, his eyes gradually became a little fierce.

Could it be that he was wrong? Li Mingjun and Du Shiyi had no connection. This time, the surrender of Xin'an was just a speculation. Seeing the rebel situation was a big disadvantage?

"Okay, Huai'en, don't be so aggressive. General Li's recent surrender is understandable. You can arrange it in the army. Xin'an is too small to accommodate a large army. It is not as numerous palaces as in the south of Wushan Road, so local rebels need to rush to attack at night."

As soon as Du Shiyi finished speaking, he saw Pu Gu Huaien bowing and saying, "Don't worry, Magistrate, I'm here. If anyone dares to attack at night, he will be unable to discipline that army."

Seeing Pugu Huai'en turning around and leaving in a fierce manner, Li Mingjun remembered the famous reputation of the Tiele general over the years and couldn't help but whisper: "Xiyi often told me over the years that the general is really good at seeing. Needless to say, Xiyi and the three masters of Yunzhou, Xiyi and others in Longyou were An Sishun and Guo Yao, and then transferred General Nan to the south. In Shuofang, they simply pulled out General Guo and General Pugu, so that the current extraordinary situation in Anbeiya tent city was now. Others only saw An Lushan managing Hebei like an iron barrel. With a shout, there were so many civil and military officials following the rebellion against the Tang Dynasty. After generals like Xue Song, Zhang Xiancheng and Zhang Tongru, they were all willing to be hawks, but they did not see the general defeating all the talents in the world."

"Stop flattering me, I'm not An Lushan"

Du Shiyi glanced at Li Mingjun and saw that he was a little embarrassed, he said lightly: "The generals under An Lushan are Ruyun. The few you mentioned are not top characters. Xue Rengui's grandson Xue Song is not as good as Shi Siming, Cai Xide and Cui Ganyou, and Zhang Shouqi's son Zhang Xiancheng is not as good as Zhang Rencheng, as for Yu Shuofang's wish to build the three surrender cities, his grandson Zhang Tongru is not as good as Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang Ashi, Chengqing, the three true confidants of An Lushan. You should have tasted An Lushan's methods. I remember that when I was in Pinglu, I relied on you and Xiyi, but what happened later?"

"This time I almost lost my head because I tore up the convoy." Thinking of the thrilling point, Li Mingjun also felt a little palpitations, but what he was most concerned about at the moment was another problem. Although he had not spoken face to face with Du Shiyi for many years, when he thought that his younger brother Ah Liu had already lived a prosperous and healthy life, the two brothers no longer had to worry about not being able to protect themselves in the old place of the Xi clan, he finally decided to ask directly.

"I just want to ask the general one thing: after quelling the rebellion, I really plan to revive the Tang Dynasty loyally and work hard for generations of emperors?"

Du Shiyi did not answer this question positively, but asked back: "Did you forget, thinking about how I arranged for you to cleanse your identity, first follow King Xin'an to the court, and then transfer to Pinglu?"

Li Mingjun looked straight into Du Shiyi's eyes, and after a moment, he finally stood up suddenly and bowed deeply: "I have been kind to the Grand Marshal and should follow him. But I have also learned a lot in the Tang Dynasty, such as the death of a cunning rabbit and the cooking of a lackey. I also hope that the Grand Marshal can be wary of those swords that attacked secretly."

"Don't worry."

After watching Li Mingjun leave, Du Shiyi sat in the study of Xin'an County Party Committee that was temporarily requisitioned, and he was quite mixed with emotion. Although the guards outside were all elite soldiers, he thought of Longquan who followed Wang Rong, Azle who stayed in Chang'an, Huya who followed Princess Gu'an to attack Yongqiu, and was leading two armies of Tongluo and Pugu to attack Zhang Xing in Youzhou, and Li Guangbi who stayed in Anbeiya's tent. He could not help but feel a little lonely. For many years, the generals who followed him were able to stand alone, while some of the Mu Zuo stayed in the northern border, some stayed in Shuofang, and some were stuffed into various offices of the three provinces and six ministries in Chang'an. In short, it was to make the best use of the talents and people.

There are more people in the Western Regions, in Beiting, Helong, and Pinglu... and are fighting desperately for a better future.

At dawn, when Du Shiyi slept peacefully for a night and stepped out of the study, he reorganized his armor and swords, looked at the rising Chaoyang in the east, and then walked out. Wherever An Lushan passed, some of the local prefect and county magistrates surrendered, some fled, and some were killed unyieldingly. His ex-president Xin'an Ling had already abandoned the city and fled. After Li Mingjun surrendered, Pugu Huai'en and Du Shiyi's army arrived one after another, and some of them came to the county party for a visit. Most of them recommended themselves. Du Shiyi chose a talented person to temporarily represent Xin'an Ling, and then took all the troops under Li Mingjun away.

The reason is very simple. Li Mingjun, the more than a thousand soldiers, are all direct subordinates, and can be used to recruit rebels in the future. When Guanzhong is stable, Xin'an's defense and garrison are irrelevant.

Almost as Du Shiyi advanced, Guo Ziyi also led his army to set off from Shou'an. Although he did not make an appointment to meet at Luoyang City, his familiarity with Du Shiyi could roughly calculate how many miles a day was marching. And Shuzhi, who was entrusted with the important task of vanguard, was hereditary to the governor of Gaolanzhou. He was like Pugu Huai'en, and was a strong general in Tielle along the way. The rebels were almost defeated at once and did not encounter any decent resistance at all. According to the report of the scouts who infiltrated Luoyang, the Hedong troops expelled Wang Chengye, Feng Cheng Qianli was the governor of Hedong, and was already heading south, so he never stopped thinking about this matter.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, have there been no such thing as soldiers expelling the commander? If it weren't for the rebellion initiated by An Lushan, how could the soldiers in the army dare to be so bold? But the root cause of the matter means that the centripetal force of the court has further decreased.

In Luoyang City, Ashina Chengqing, who went to see Li Guiren in person, only selectively informed An Lushan about the sudden death. Sure enough, while being shocked, Li Guiren was still worried about whether An Lushan would chop off his head in anger. Now the increasingly violent lord is dead. Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing represent the new king An Qingxu who has not yet ascended the throne, and he felt relieved. Finally, when Ashina Chengqing handed over most of the troops left in Luoyang City to him to command, Li Guiren was overjoyed and immediately said without hesitation that he would firmly support An Qingxu.

It's just in my heart that whether he was convinced of An Qingxu was a different person.

With Li Guiren's support, An Qingxu was naturally ecstatic and trusted more and more in Ashina Chengqing and Yan Zhuang. Even if he heard that he wanted to withdraw from Luoyang as soon as possible and open up the passage to retreat to Hebei, he did not hesitate. Therefore, he obeyed the proposal of the two without thinking and sent Li Guiren to lead his army to Lingchang County, Huazhou to attack King Li Zhi of Wu, and then he quietly mingled in this army with Yan Zhuang Ashina Chengqing, and took An Lushan's body with his skin, leaving Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, Sun Xiaozhe and the mobs they recruited to defend Luoyang.

Because everything was issued in the name of An Lushan, Cui Qianyou and the other two were uneasy because they did not recruit the amount limited by An Lushan. In addition, they had recruited soldiers east of Luoyang before, and they did not know that Li Guiren lost his Quemen and fled back to Luoyang, so they did not notice that the Youyan army that went to conquer Lingchang was the last elite left in Luoyang.

It was not until the Dispatch returned in a hurry and said that Du Guo and the two armies were less than 30 miles away from Luoyang that Cui Qianyou realized something was wrong. While he shouted to close the four-sided city gates of Luoyang, he asked Tian Qianzhen and Sun Xiaozhe to immediately invite Tian Qianzhen and Sun Xiaozhe. When he learned that one of them was regarded as the nephew of An Lushan and the other who had always regarded himself as An Lushan's fake son, he felt a sudden slap in his heart, and then asked again: "Who did you take away the slap in the past? How many people did you take away?"

Regarding this issue, Tian Qianzhen has been in a state of great trouble because he has been trying to strengthen his men in Dengfeng for several days, so he looked at Sun Xiaozhe, and Sun Xiaozhe was immediately annoyed.

"Look at me, I'm getting the number of people in Yingyang, so I don't have the time to care about who leads the troops to fight Lingchang. It's not the turn of our three soldiers and horses to fight the bad guys. The others started a war from Hebei and never fought a tough battle. Only we had a head-on battle with Anbei and Shuofang's troops. Why would we be blamed for losing?"
