The rumors among the three armies subsided, but the undercurrent hidden under the calm water became increasingly violent.

The Anshi Rebellion in history lasted longer, but because Li Longji escaped to Shu, he completely lost his heart. Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu, those civil and military officials who were disappointed with the old emperor gathered under the command of the prince with great righteousness and began to fight against the rebels. The foundation of the human heart of the Li Tang royal family was still there. The Uighurs generously borrowed troops to suppress the rebellion in response to the rich benefits given by the court and the face of Pugu Huaien, the Tieler man. Even Yuchi Sheng, the king of Khotan who was far away in Anxi, personally led 5,000 troops to help. However, this was the basis for Li Tang's rule over the world for many years, and it had little to do with Li Longji who had been completely marginalized at that time.

Because Li Heng was a great master, the people had high expectations for the new king and could maintain good morale in the army. Whether the generals were really loyal or wanted to make military achievements, despite the fact that they were fighting for each other and even led to great defeat, they were still vassals under the banner of the royal family and finally put the Anshi Rebellion down. Since then, although there have been many vassal states, the Li Tang royal family has always been regarded as the truth.

But in this life, Li Longji destroyed the Great Wall. He first killed Li Heng and Guangping King Jianning, and the East Palace was so unprincipal that the country was empty. Immediately after he left the military and civilians in Chang'an to flee, he arrived at Mawei Post. Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi's army arrived in time and recovered the imperial capital before Chang'an fell. Li Longji was able to retain the throne, but lost all the hearts of the people in Guanzhong. Recently, he cooperated with the scene that King Yong Li completely played, further pushed himself into the abyss. If he was smart, he would pass the throne immediately, and the army would maintain loyalty and righteousness on the new king, but Li Longji was unwilling to admit defeat.

Du Shiyi asked himself that no one in the world knew better than him. He had been an official for more than 30 years, and had observed the emperor for more than 30 years, and Li Longji, the most beloved Gao Lishi, also provided some guidance, informed, analyzed every night, and predicted certain general trends. He had just come to this day step by step. Therefore, for the current noise and undercurrents in the army, he chose to temporarily suppress rather than induce and divert. He knew very well that in the face of the last six counties in Hebei, the morale of the military was on his side, and he could already push it over with dignity.

In the early morning, Du Shiyi was served by the servants and put on a coat of armor, put on a cloak, and a sword. Then he pushed open the door. In the yard, Huya and Azle stood left and right, waiting for him to come out. He didn't say anything, but nodded slightly. When he strode out, the two of them naturally followed behind him. He said without looking back: "Du Sui, your head will be placed on your neck for the time being. If you have such a thing in the future, you should know the consequences."

Azle knew that Du Shiyi was saying that he would not report first, so he informed Pu Gu Huaien of the previous major change in the Sixteen Kings' House, and hurriedly said that. But if he had made another choice, he would still choose to share it. It was not because Pu Gu Huaien put the knife on his neck and threatened him, but he believed that this was necessary so that the generals could express their attitude without Du Shiyi's knowledge, so that they could form a centripetal force. The parents who gave birth to others and the adoptive father were given by Du Shiyi. Even if he lost his life, he must clear the way for his adoptive father.

Du Shiyi did not stop because of Azle's response. When he left the Yimen of the prefect's palace, he ordered in a deep voice: "Xue Song and Li Huaiyu, one in the Yajian and the other in the Forward Camp, both are people with great fame and reputation. You should use it, but at the same time pay attention to their ability to win people's hearts. As for Cui Ganyou, Tian Ganzhen, and Sun Xiaozhe, the same is true. The rebels can be rebel generals to surrender, but they must not be handed over to the rebel future. This is the purpose. I have taken a break these days to compile a booklet on the training of surrendered soldiers. You will go back and read it carefully. This time, Shi Siming must be killed when he attacks Youzhou, but the rest must be trained and trained to join the army."

"As the marshal's orders"

Although Azle and Huya were not commanding many troops, they were different from generals such as Guo Ziyi. It was precisely because of the refined number of people that they had to take this opportunity to train the strongest members of the rebels, and then leave behind the people they needed, dilute the other rebels into the main troops among the three armies, so as to carry out the second reorganization. In this way, the benefits were equally shared, and the surrendered generals such as Cui Ganyou were suppressing their positions, so that everyone could be happy.

Otherwise, who can stand the commander who seized power and soldiers from the beginning?

Today is the day when Du Shiyi left Zhending to head north. The soldiers and horses gathered here together with surrendered soldiers were 70,000 to 80,000. Of course, it was impossible for them to set off on this day, otherwise the official road would be completely congested, and marching would be extremely difficult. Therefore, all the troops and horses marched according to the strategies they had discussed earlier a few days ago. Pugu Huaien, who had made great contributions in the previous surprise attack, still did not take the ordinary road, from Shenze, to Raoyang, to Leshou, and then rushed directly to Yongding Que, Zhangshui, and Jumashui where the three rivers of the river converge. This was Tianjin in later generations, but now there was no city. It was just a small town where people gathered, with only one rebel army stationed.

As for Guo and Cheng's army, they set out from Xinshi Town and rushed directly to Boling County, Dingzhou. On the day Du Shiyi set off, good news had already been heard from Qianli of Fang Zheng. Xinle County of Boling County had already been out, and more than a thousand rebels surrendered before they arrived. Therefore, when they set off with this good news, Du Shiyi was in a good mood. Because Pugu Huai'en's trip was rushing again, but considering that it was very likely that the cavalry alone could not cope with, he also brought two thousand Modao soldiers, all with horses. Therefore, those who accompanied Du Shiyi, in addition to the vanguard camp and the yamen, were the horseless infantry and surrendered soldiers of the Hedong Army, with more than 16,000 people.

In addition to the rated horses in the army, all wealthy infantry often buy horses for transportation. The same is true for Shuofang and Anbei Protectorate. There is no shortage of horses in the Western Regions and Beiting. After Wang Zhongsi and Pei Xiuzhen stepped down, the infantry would certainly not be embarrassed to be unable to get married. Even after An Lushan served as the Hedong Jiedushi, he collected all the good horses from the Hedong Hedong pastoral prisons, and even affected the remaining troops. Now, the horses that the infantry originally raised in their families were naturally equipped with the horse army when the Hedong Jiedushi was purchased with money.

Therefore, Cheng Qianli and the Hedong generals were so excited that they rushed to seize military merits, and the infantry who were left behind were not happy at all. As for the rebel surrendered soldiers who had just been trained, they were relieved that they did not immediately face the old robes.

As soon as he entered Boling County, a galloping messenger rushed over from the rear army and came to the front of Du Shiyi, the central army, and said in a deep voice: "Marson, Chang'an is the messenger of Du Shaoqing of Taipu Temple."

Knowing that the youngest son's letter was nothing small, Du Shiyi immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Bring me to see me."

Despite this judgment, Du Shiyi was still very surprised when he saw that the sender was Longquan. He clearly remembered that Longquan and others had stayed in Yunzhou to protect Wang Rong, but now he suddenly became the messenger sent by Du Youlin again. Was it under the name of a guise, or was his wife quietly returning to Chang'an? He took the letter from Longquan calmly, and when he was about to unfold and read it immediately, he couldn't help but frown.

Of course, he would not miss the information that Wang Rong could find, otherwise he would not have just rested in Yejun and Changshan for a few days before advancing immediately. However, Li Longji actually accepted Shi Siming's surrender and hoped that he would withdraw his troops at the last moment, leaving a breathing opportunity for the rebels. It was simply a delusion.

This is forcing him to either abide by the surrender of Shi Siming and keep his strength under his command; or a head-on conflict with the King of Nanyang, who is the incoming envoy. Li Longji is not afraid that the King of Nanyang will come to him this time and use the help of the three armies to decree and enact this move? Or do he think that sending Gao Lishi and selecting the last elite imperial guards to accompany him can prevent this move? Or is it that Li Longji feels that even if the King of Nanyang wants to seize the throne, he will definitely guard against him Du Shiyi, so he will definitely stick to the surrender of Shi Siming to the end? Or are there any other despicable tricks?

Azle just walked behind cautiously and led his troops to guard the war, and did not immediately go to inquire about what was going on in Chang'an. It was not until Du Shiyi opened his mouth and left Long Quan by his side, and he didn't even send a reply. He was shocked and suspicious, but he still endured that day when he set up camp in the evening and went to the commander's tent. After the Fangbing informed, as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Du Shiyi and Long Quan talking.

"When I recovered Chang'an, I had officially accepted Du Sui as my adopted son. You guys have followed me for many years, and there is no difference in love. So from now on, you will change your name to me as an adopted father, and you will be a master of your family."

Long Quan was immediately ecstatic and quickly bowed to his father to become an entitled father. When he got up, he explained his experience one by one. From following Wang Rong to Yunzhou, and then following the army to enter Hebei Road, after seeing Yan Gaoqing's other son Yan Quanming, he returned to Yunzhou. After Wang Rong learned that Shi Siming was intending to surrender, he rushed back to Chang'an, and then to Jiang Du attacked the East City at night, killing all the envoys of Shi Siming, but it was still difficult to stop the emperor's wishes. Finally, he said softly: "General Gao Da was here this time, and it is said that his Majesty was strict in his order. I wonder if he had used his years of friendship with his father to make the marshal agree to this matter."

"They will be outside, and the king will not accept any orders."

Du Shiyi's face burst out these words, and when he saw Long Quan, he was immediately happy. He suddenly turned around and said, "The Tooth Soldiers have already informed you just now. Since you are here, don't hide outside and eavesdrop."

Azle then raised the curtain and entered. After saluting respectfully, he straightened his waist and said boldly: "Since your adoptive father has this intention, why not secretly order all the prefectures and counties along the way to delay the trip of the King of Nanyang and his party?"

Longquan immediately volunteered, "I will handle this matter from Ji County. All the county lords and officials along the way were recruited by their adoptive fathers. They suffered the suffering of the rebels. In most cases, they would hope that the army would quell the rebellion and kill Shi Siming, who owned Youzhou, would be feasible if they asked them to conceal the progress of the march ahead and try their best to drag the trip of the King of Nanyang and others."

"I'm afraid that this group of people will have a clear purpose. Even if the county magistrates along the way do their best, they may not be able to hold them back. But let's try this plan for the time being, and you can do it yourself." Du Shiyi immediately responded to the order when he saw Longquan, and he said to Azle, "You select 300 rebels with magnificent appearances, select a group of reliable officers to command, follow Longquan south, and let the King of Nanyang take a good look at the current atmosphere of these rebels."

Azle and Longquan were immediately confused. The King of Nanyang was originally here to surrender Shi Siming, but Du Shiyi still showed him the mighty and majesty of the Youyan rebels?
