The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 424 Restoring Chang'an
Suddenly the sword came to collect Jibei, and the clothes were covered with tears at first.

But looking at the worries of his wife, he is crazy about poems and books.

Singing in the daytime must be indulging in wine, youth is a good company to return home.

From the Ba Gorge to the Wu Gorge, it will go down Xiangyang to Luoyang.

……

After the war, meritorious deeds will be rewarded.Li Siye, the former general of the army, was promoted as the first meritorious service, and the forward Bai Fu and Pu Gu Huai'en, the soldier and horse envoy of the left wing, were recorded as the second meritorious service.Li Chu, the king of Guangping, had a grievance with Bai Fu back then, when he suddenly saw Bai Fu, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

But at this time, Li Chu was already the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and the future crown prince had already learned to hide his emotions and anger.Li Chu adjusted quickly, with a smile on his face, and exchanged cups with Li Siye, Bai Fu and others kindly.

……

Relying on the prestige of Xiangji Temple's great victory, the Tang army quickly regained the capital!

On September 28th, the second year of Zhide, the forward troops of the Tang army entered Chang'an and recovered the capital.It has been a year and four months since Yan general Sun Xiaozhe entered Chang'an on June 23 last year.

The Generalissimo of the Army and Horses of the World, Guangping Wang Li Chu, led the army, marching towards Chang'an City in a mighty manner.Guo Ziyi took Li Siye and Bai Fu by his side, one on the left and one on the right, and followed closely behind Guangping King Li Chu's horse.Let these two heroes, wearing brocade clothes, accept the cheers and applause of the people of Chang'an.

The people of Chang'an went out of the city for ten miles, and they ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's teacher.Men, women, old and young, lined the road to welcome, cheered, ran around, weeping with joy.

For them, the four months of this year are the darkest moments in their lives, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, who will die under the butcher's knife of Yan Bing at some point.

The Yan army raped, looted, burned and slaughtered, and did all kinds of evil.Everyone in Chang'an is struggling for life and suffering.Regardless of whether the scholars are high or low, everyone hopes that the master Wang will settle down in the north, the world will be peaceful, and the prosperity of the old Tang Dynasty will reappear.

Now the rest of my life after the catastrophe is like a dream in Nanke.There was a lot of crying on the official road, and tears fell like rain.

Facing the people who lined the road to welcome him, Li Chu, the king of Guangping, had mixed feelings in his heart.

Chang'an has recovered, and the time has come to fulfill the promise.

At the beginning, Emperor Suzong was eager to regain Chang'an. When he borrowed troops from Huihe, he solemnly made a promise: "On the day of conquering the city, the land, scholars and common people will return to Tang, and all gold, silk and children will return to Huihe!"

"However, how to fulfill the promise? Are the people of Chang'an betrayed to Huihe like piglets? How is the Tang court different from the tyrannical Yan army? How can I do it?!"

Facing the cheering and smiling faces of the people, Quang Binh King Li Chu felt like a thorn in his back.

"Once the promise is fulfilled, the people of Chang'an will be plundered and slaughtered. After the catastrophe, will the people of the world still respect the Li family as the orthodox of the Tang Dynasty? If the father and emperor ascended the throne for a hundred years, they will still be able to forget the shame of today and support themselves as the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven?

But if you break your promise and break your promise, you will have a grudge against Huihe.Now that the eastern capital is still undecided, and the false swallows are still undestroyed, how can we make a strong enemy again? "

Thinking of this, Guangping Wang Li Chu felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell off his horse.

Whatever you are afraid of!
When the army came to the gate of Mingde, Huihe Prince Ye Hu saw the majestic and majestic Chang'an City Tower, and he was in awe, and even remembered his mission to Chang'an.With a smile on his face, he rode his horse to Li Chu, the king of Guangping, and politely asked Li Chu to fulfill Suzong's promise.

Guo Ziyi and others were well aware of Suzong's promise, but they didn't expect that Prince Ye Hu, who didn't understand the rules, would openly discuss the terms in public.All the generals felt embarrassed and suddenly felt tricky.

When all the generals were at a loss, they suddenly heard a person say to Prince Ye Hu: "May I ask Your Highness, when a ewe is pregnant with a lamb and is about to give birth, is it more cost-effective to kill the ewe, or let the ewe give birth to a lamb?"

Prince Ye Hu was stunned for a moment, then looked up, and it was the vanguard general Bai Fu who asked the question.

Huihe people value heroes very much. The prince Ye Hu witnessed Bai Fu's bravery on the bloody battlefield. Facing this fierce general, he dared not neglect, and replied: "Of course it is worthwhile to let the ewe give birth to lambs."

When the generals of the Tang army heard this, they suddenly realized.Bai Fu used the allusion of "killing the chicken to get the eggs" to stop the Huihe soldiers from looting Chang'an.

Li Chu immediately dismounted from his horse, bowed his head to Ye Hu, and said, "We have just captured Xijing. If we capture Xijing suddenly, all the people in Tokyo will be thieves and will not be able to take it again. I hope it will be as promised in Tokyo."

(What Your Highness said is true! The coalition forces have just regained Chang'an, if they suddenly capture the children of Jinbo as soon as they enter the city, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in Luoyang and other places will turn to the rebels and defend the city for the rebels. At that time, the coalition forces may pay a heavy price , it is also difficult to capture Luoyang. Therefore, I hope that His Highness can be tolerant for a few days, and wait until Luoyang is recovered, before fulfilling the promise to your army.)
Huihe General Di De was displeased, and said with a sneer: "I am afraid that after the capture of Luoyang, the little prince will have something else to say?!
I think it is better to cash in Chang'an.If His Highness can't bear it, you can station outside the city, and we can do it ourselves.Otherwise, don't blame us for hurting the peace of the two families. "

This remark was full of threats, and the generals of the Tang army were furious, holding their sabers tightly, but they were afraid of losing their dignity in front of Guangping King Li Chu, so they didn't want to retort.

With piercing eyes, Bai Fu greeted General Di De, and said, "General, I don't know which one is stronger, the Huihe Xiaoqi or the rebel iron cavalry?"

General Di De snorted coldly: "Everyone has their own strengths!" When the Yan army fled, they broke through from the encircled position of him, so it is not good to brag publicly.

Bai Fu's face darkened, he pointed at Di De, and shouted sharply: "Presumptuous! I can stop [-] rebel cavalry with five hundred swordsmen! General, do you want to plunder in front of my one hundred thousand army? !"

The Huihe generals were terrified and fidgeted on the saddle.

After the Anlushan rebellion, the Tang army retreated steadily, especially after the eastern and western capitals were captured by the rebels, Huihe began to feel that the Tang army was weak and vulnerable.Suzong borrowed troops from Huihe, and made the Huihe Corps boast of being invincible in the world. From top to bottom, they were arrogant and rude, showing off their might.

In the bloody battle at Xiangji Temple, the Modao Army was invincible, which shocked the countries of the Western Regions and extinguished the wolfish ambitions of the Huihe Corps.

"Yes, I only have [-] cavalry, how dare I challenge the [-] elite Tang army!" Prince Ye Hu was startled, hurriedly got off his horse and paid homage, knelt down and held Li Chu's feet, and said, "I will go to Tokyo for your highness."

Only then did the generals of the Tang army feel relieved, and the atmosphere remained as calm as before.

Guo Ziyi looked at Bai Fu's young and resolute face, raised his thumb secretly, and said in his heart, "As expected of the disciple trained by Master Qingxuan and Taifu Xu! Although he is young, he is brave and resourceful. What he said just now, Advance and retreat with evidence, neither humble nor overbearing.

Among the generals, he has the lowest military rank, the youngest, but the highest martial arts.Whether it's a threat or a tear, he said it's the most appropriate.

Tang Jun expressed his intentions, let go of his harsh words, achieved his goal, and did not affect the alliance between Datang and Huihe.

Even if Prince Ye Hu felt resentful, it was not easy to turn against this little general on the spot. "

After the two sides reconciled, Prince Ye Hu joined Pu Gu Huai'en, led the Huihe Corps and the coalition forces of the Western Regions, detoured from the southern suburbs of Chang'an, and camped on the east bank of the Chanshui River.

For the sake of the people of Chang'an, Li Chu, the king of Guangping, did not hesitate to pay homage to the prince Ye Huzhe, saving the lives of thousands of families.

The people, soldiers, and Hulu witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and they all wept and said: "Guangping Wang Zhenhua, the lord of the barbarians."

Li Chu, the king of Guangping, led the three armies and entered Chang'an in mighty force. Men, women, old and young cheered along the Zhuque Street, crying and crying.

Li Chu, the king of Guangping, was stationed in Chang'an City to appease the people and stabilize the order.He ordered Prince Shao Fu Guo Wang Li Ju to stay behind in Xijing to deal with the aftermath.

Three days later, Li Chu led his army out of the city and continued the eastward expedition according to the original plan.

On September 29, the news of the recovery of Chang'an reached Fengxiang, and Emperor Suzong wept with joy and tears streaming down his face.Civil and military officials immediately entered the court to congratulate.

When he heard Li Chu, the king of Guangping, shake hands with Huihe Yehu and make peace, and resolve the worries of Chang'an invisible, Suzong praised: "King Guangping is both wise and brave, and I can't match it!"
