Chapter 60
Guo Ziyi returned to the court in triumphant success, and Pei personally led all civil and military officials to Chang'an to greet him.
Guo Ziyi's return to the North Korea meant that the rebellion that lasted for two years had officially subsided.
As the first hero in quelling the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Ziyi deserves such an honor.
Guo Ziyi's performance in the Anshi Rebellion was not only to recover the northern land and Liaodong, but also to fight against Hedong and defend Taiyuan, and to fight against Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan and Niu Ting's 100,000 troops with three thousand strong troops.
The horn of the counterattack was sounded after Pei came to Chang'an, but Guo Ziyi's previous achievements cannot be denied.
Not only can't, but you also need to treat it differently.
At that time, the temple was in chaos, and for his own interests, Li Heng kept instigating Li Yan to make a fool of himself.
It can be said that if Guo Ziyi had not defended Taiyuan, the Longxing land of the Li Tang Dynasty, and if Zhang Xun had not fought in the Central Plains and defeated the rebels, he would have gained time to take a breath for the Li Tang Dynasty.
Shi Siming and Linghu Chao's army went south, Jianghuai and Jingxiang, and the whole place would inevitably be unable to be protected.
Once Jianghuai and Jingxiang are lost, the advantages of the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River will no longer be there. The situation will be very different.
During the most difficult time of the Tang Dynasty, Li Guangbi, the first hero in history to quell the Anshi Rebellion, was following Pei to confront Arabia.
Therefore, this first achievement fell on Guo Ziyi's head.
It was also because of the turmoil in the court that people like Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun stood up and dragged down a total of 150,000 troops from the two groups of rebels, and bought Pei precious time.
Therefore, with this previous record, Guo Ziyi is undoubtedly the number one hero.
Guo Ziyi received a notice from the Ministry of Rites and knew that Pei personally led the civil and military officials in the temple to greet him. He ordered the army behind him to move slowly and personally led the generals of the Northern Expedition to Shiliting.
A hundred meters away, Guo Ziyi got off his horse and walked quickly, walked closer, knelt on the ground, and bowed loudly, "Guo Ziyi bowed to Pei Xiang!"
As the commander of the three armies, the dozens of generals behind him could not stand and bow to the ground.
Pei was a little surprised for a moment, and Guo Ziyi was wearing military uniform.
There are unwritten regulations in this army, and the general does not need to give a big gift when he meets the emperor with armor.
Guo Ziyi was wearing armor and actually gave this great gift.
Pei hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, and smiled and said, "The general is a great hero to quell the rebels, why should he perform this great gift?"
Guo Ziyi said sincerely: "If there were no coach Pei, how could Guo Ziyi today be there?"
Guo Ziyi has always felt a little guilt and gratitude for Pei, and he has never dared to forget the kindness he has recommended three times.
Not only that, Li Heng's actions have spread all over the world, which has shocked Guo Ziyi into a cold sweat.
Guo Ziyi had certain complaints and dissatisfaction with the emperor Li Yan, and the reason was Li.
Guo Ziyi was always valued because of Pei's recommendation, but she never got real display. It was not until she met Li, who had enough talent and courage, and with the support of Pei, the Shangshu Ling, that Guo Ziyi really let go.
Li also relies heavily on Guo Ziyi's talent, and Guo Ziyi also respects his superior.
An Lushan was forced to rebel. As Li's confidant, Guo Ziyi had the most thorough understanding of the current situation.
Not only did the situation of victory fail, but Li also died tragically.
All of this was the result of Li Yan's belief in the rumors. Since then, Li Yan's tricks have been made one after another, which has further aroused Guo Ziyi's dissatisfaction.
However, Guo Ziyi is a standard Confucian general. No matter how dissatisfied with Li Yan and the court, his original intention of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism remained unchanged. He would not delay things because of his dissatisfaction. As long as the emperor and the court needed him, no matter how many grievances he had suffered, he would stand up without hesitation and contribute his strength.
Guo Ziyi didn't know the details of Shuofang for many things. However, Li Heng found him immediately and gave a blueprint to suppress the rebellion.
It is undeniable that Li Heng's own talent is far better than Li Yan.
Excellent eloquence, deep scheming, and means of winning people's hearts are more than one level higher than Li Yan.
Guo Ziyi would not participate in the temple dispute, but she was still happy to see Li Heng, who had become the emperor, and expressed her loyalty, hoping that Li Heng could turn the situation around and lead them to recover their disadvantages.
So when Pei and Li Heng clashed, Guo Ziyi was particularly embarrassed.
Li Heng was his object of recognition, and Pei had the power to save the Tang Dynasty, and his orders targeted An Lushan's fatal holes everywhere, and quelling the troubled times was just around the corner.
In the end, Guo Ziyi chose to obey Pei's instructions.
On the one hand, there was no problem with Pei's instructions, and on the other hand, Guo Ziyi believed that Pei could lead the temple to glory.
Guo Ziyi chose the emperor Li Yan not Li Yan at all, but Pei who stood on Li Yan's side.
As a result, Guo Ziyi was scared into a cold sweat.
Guo Ziyi never expected that Li Heng had done so many bad things, even Li's death was related to Li Heng.
Thinking that if he stood in the wrong team, it would be like helping the evildoer. Guo Ziyi, who received the news, was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat.
If it weren't for Pei's existence, Guo Ziyi would have no idea how long he would have made mistakes again and again.
Therefore, this time, Guo Ziyi was grateful to Pei from the bottom of his heart and led him back to the right path.
The civil and military officials of the court have long been accustomed to Pei's power in the army. He didn't think that Guo Ziyi respected Pei so much. Now, no one in the temple has the strength to check and balance Pei.
Not to mention that Li Yan is obeying Pei Yan now, even if he has other ideas, he does not have the strength to compete.
Pei didn't know that Guo Ziyi had a unique meaning, but in the blueprint he drafted, Guo Ziyi, as one of the six generals, occupies an important position.
It would be no better if you could get his support and let go of your past grudges.
Pulling Guo Ziyi, Pei and the generals arrived at the imperial city amid the cheers of the people of Chang'an and visited Li Yan.
All the rebels of the Anshi Rebellion gathered in Chang'an.
In response to them, the temple had almost no extra delay and issued a penalty notice directly.
The thief leader An Lushan, Shi Siming, Gao Shang, and Yan Zhuang were both the thief leader's plot. Ling Chi was executed, An Lushan, Shi Siming killed nine clans, Gao Shang, and Yan Zhuang destroyed three clans.
Zhang Wanqing, Sun Xiaozhe, Xu Guidao, Dugu Wenwen, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Tongwu, Cui Qianyou, Cai Xide, Yin Ziqi, Niu Ting, Xu Huangyu, An Junxiong, An Xiao, Li Qinchen, Li Lijie, Ashina Chengqing, Fan Xiuyan, Ashina Congli and other major generals will be executed.
The rest of the people who have little talent were exiled to the Western Regions and Arab countries to enrich Western strength.
Pei was merciless to those families who secretly communicated with An Lushan. He killed what should be killed, punished what should be punished, and exiled all the exiled places. The place where exiled was also changed to Arabia.
This series of punishments demonstrated the control of the Li Tang Dynasty over the world.
Of course, there will be punishment and rewards.
All the civil and military officials of the court were staring at the rewards to be announced.
