Li Longji hurried to Fengxiang from Shu. Once he met with Li Heng, the two of them would naturally return to Chang'an City.

It was the first time that Li Yu was so anxious about a battle. After resting in Chang'an City for only three days, they left only thousands of imperial guards waiting for Li Heng and Li Longji. The remaining tens of thousands of troops set off from the east gate of Chang'an City and headed straight for Luoyang.

At that time, the Tang army had only 150,000 troops, far less than the 200,000 people they claimed to be. After experiencing this battle, it also lost 20,000 to 30,000 troops. This time, it was only 120,000 to Luoyang.

But the stubborn Li Yu is still the same as when he fought Chang'an City before, claiming to be 200,000 yuan. Not to mention anything else, doing so can indeed put some psychological pressure on the rebels.

As a result, the army had just walked out for less than two hours, and the scouts in front came to news that all the people who had retreated from Chang'an City had been stationed in Shaanxi County.

At the same time, the rebel prime minister Yan Zhuang rushed to Shaanxi County from Chang'an City with 100,000 troops, obviously to set up a barrier in this place to determine life and death with the Tang army.

When Guo Ziyi learned the news, he quickly stopped the march temporarily, summoned the generals to him, and began to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, both Guo Ziyi and Li Yu thought that since the rebels in Chang'an City were so arrogant, the battle in Luoyang City would definitely be under Luoyang's city. However, I never expected that the rebels were much more cautious this time and chose to mobilize their troops to the barrier Shaanxi County, west of Luoyang.

The surrounding areas of Shaanxi County are full of mountains, easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, the rebels have at least 150,000, and there is no advantage in terms of numbers. The generals of the Tang army understand that if they want to win this battle, they cannot rely on brute force, but on the strategies of the generals.

Guo Ziyi took out the map around Luoyang, and everyone could see that there was a series of mountains in the Xindian area west of Shaanxi County.

The rebels obviously wanted to rely on the steepness of this mountain and set up formations with the mountains. Once the battle was fought, it would be a condescending situation, and the geographical advantage near Shaanxi County was maximized.

"Don't worry, Deputy Marshal, since Li Siye, as the front army, was not afraid of the enemy's tricks, what can a small mountain do to me? You will leave this matter of breaking through the enemy's position. If it cannot be completed, deal with it according to the military order! But... I have to arrange the cavalry of King Jianning in the front to be the vanguard."

After experiencing this day of fighting outside Chang'an City, Li Siye obviously wanted to fight with the enemy more with real swords and guns. Li Siye was not afraid of the so-called terrain advantage, and expressed his fighting spirit to Li Yu and Guo Ziyi at that time.

However, he also had a small mind and did not forget to pull Li's cavalry up. After all, he knew how much the role these cavalry played when they attacked Chang'an.

"I and the Marshal of course know the thoughts of the General of the Cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of the rebels is not worse than ours. They broke Chang'an City within a day before, but the rebels underestimated the enemy. In addition, the rebels' strategies were discovered by ours. Now that they arrived in Shaanxi County, the rebels will not take advantage of tricks. If they really fight head-on, even if they take Shan County, Luoyang City will still not be able to be taken back!"

"In this way, it depends entirely on the orders of the deputy marshal!"

Although Li Siye was strong, he was still convinced of Guo Ziyi. He knew in his heart that if there were no Guo Ziyi, even ten Li Siyes would not be able to save the Tang Dynasty.

"The General of the Cavalry is still a former army. Once he finds an enemy army when he arrives in Xindian, he will fight with him! However, King Jianning's cavalry cannot be with you this time..."

Li Qing, who was drowsy behind, became a little energetic when he heard this, but he did not rush to ask Guo Ziyi where he wanted to arrange himself. He looked at the map that Guo Ziyi was guiding from afar, and had a little clue in his heart.

However, Guo Ziyi arranged almost all the generals next, and did not mention what Li Yan's cavalry was going to do. Until the other generals had already been asked to go back and send orders to rest, there was no one in the tent, he left Li Yan alone.

"Does the Deputy Marshal have any secret missions to let me lead the army to do it?"

"It is precisely because the prince's cavalry, when fighting against Yiluohe, I had observed that the combat effectiveness was no less than the elite cavalry trained by my Tang Dynasty before. So there is one thing that I am afraid that the prince will try it, otherwise, our battle will be difficult to fight."

After saying that, Guo Ziyi stretched out her hand and landed on a place on the map that he had never clicked before...

"For such a dangerous mission, my Suiyang cavalry is only more than 4,000 left. If this matter fails, our army will probably not have one ten left!"

When Li Qing returned to his tent, he informed Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun about this matter as soon as possible, but after hearing this, both of them were a little unsatisfied.

It turned out that some generals under Guo Ziyi were quite familiar with the geography around Shaanxi County and had already informed Guo Ziyi that there was a path on one side of the mountain where the Xindian rebels formed a formation. Through this path, you can detour to the top of the mountain and then go down from the other side.

In other words, if the enemy had been relying on mountains to fight against the Tang army, the Tang army could have used this small path to raid the rebels. Once this was done, it would definitely have miraculous effects.

After learning about the situation on the trail in detail, Guo Ziyi decided to hand over this matter to Li Ren and his Sui Yang cavalry. After all, once he could detour the enemy's back, the same number of cavalry could play a role that was better than that of infantry.

Everyone knows that this is indeed a good plan, but it is also a matter of wealth and danger. Once discovered by the enemy halfway, it will be a situation where it is difficult to get rid of the tiger.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xun raised questions at the time.

"As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger. Since I have already agreed to this, I will naturally have my own way. But from now on, there is one thing you two have to worry about before you arrive at the new store!"
