Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Xiangji Temple, one of the eight great temples in Fanchuan, Guanzhong, Tang Dynasty.

Now this Buddhist temple is already covered with war clouds, and the monks in the temple have already fled. The puppet Yan general An Shouzhong used Xiangji Temple as a camp, and garrisoned troops east of Fengshui.

Xiangji Temple is located in the mountains beside the Fengshui River. From Xiangji Temple, you can overlook the entire coast. This place also guards the access to the south of Chang'an, so An Shouzhong set up the defense line here.

An Qingxu was very dissatisfied with An Shouzhong's choice.

Xiangji Temple was too close to Chang'an, once the army was defeated, An Qingxu in Chang'an city would not have time to escape.

However, since the last Qingqu battle, An Shouzhong's authority within the puppet Yan has grown day by day.

He contradicted An Qingxu many times and insisted on setting up the defense line close to Chang'an City.

It is said that An Qingxu drew his sword in the palace and threatened to kill An Shouzhong, but was finally stopped by Yan Zhuang, the assistant government official.

But in the end, An Qingxu, the pseudo-emperor of Yan, still failed to win over the frontline general An Shouzhong, entrusted the entire army to An Shouzhong, granted him arbitrary power, and swallowed troops at Xiangji Temple to wait for the Tang army.

The Tang army on Guo Ziyi's side has also been rectified, and Guo Ziyi has also built a camp across the Fengshui. Both sides know that the war is approaching.

Fengshui is not a big river. As the water source dries up in autumn, some sections of Fengshui can already be crossed on foot.

An Shouzhong continued to consolidate the stronghold by the river, Puppet Yan and Datang tentatively fought against each other for a while, and recently the camps of both sides have quieted down.

But everyone knows this is just the calm before the storm.

Li Daoyuan and his party, who had left Fengxiang Mansion, came to the vicinity of the battlefield after taking over the special task of King Jianning.

[Watch the decisive battle between Datang and Pseudo-Yan, and evaluate the combat effectiveness of both sides. 】

[Task Reward 1: Professional Experience. 】

[Mission Reward 2: Title - Observer of the Rise and Fall of the Empire, Exclusive Forum Medal]

[Mission Reward 3: Governor's Mansion Prestige +10]

There is no way, King Jianning gave too much!

The reputation system is also a new system that appears in this expansion update.

In the past, players had speculated that this "game" had a hidden reputation system, and this update was quantified.

At present, there are only three forces that can gain reputation, [Longyou Dudu's Mansion], [Uighur King's Tent], and [Fengxiang Mansion Imperial Court].

However, there is only [Longyou Dudu Mansion] who can do tasks to gain reputation.

The higher the reputation, the easier it is to trigger the tasks of these forces.

【Obscurity】, 【Slightly Heard】, 【Familiar】, 【Long Heard】 and 【Thunderlike】, there are five grades in total.

Most of the players are still at the level of [Unknown], and can only passively accept the tasks issued above.

Li Daoyuan's reputation in the Dudu's Mansion has already reached [long-known name], so Li Yan will take the initiative to issue tasks for him.

In order to better observe the battlefield, Li Daoyuan and the others built a tree house in the forest next to Jixiang Temple, and took turns climbing up the tree every day to observe the dynamics of the battlefield.

"Teacher, when will this battle be fought?" Zhou Shi looked at both sides of Fengshui with binoculars. Both sides have been busy setting up camp recently, and there is no such thing as a probing attack.

Zhang Duanyang said angrily: "Let you read the book carefully! The battle of Xiangji Temple broke out this month, and I guess it will start in these two days."

Yu Xiaoxiao, who was cooking at the side, asked, "Mr. Zhang, so fast?"

Zhang Duanyang pointed to Fengshui and said, "After the full moon, the gravitational force of the tide has weakened, and the upstream has entered a dry season. As long as the water level of Fengshui drops, the Tang army may attack at any time."

Zhou Shi looked at Fengshui with binoculars. Sure enough, Fengshui, which was still high in water level, was now only half full.

Zhang Duanyang said: "Whether it is Pseudo-Yan or Datang, they can't afford it anymore. The generals of both sides must be in a hurry for a decisive battle."

Zhang Duanyang's judgment was indeed correct. This protracted war dragged down not only Datang's side, but also Puppet Yan's side.

An Shouzhong was ugly in appearance, but An Lushan favored him for his bravery in combat and promoted him to lieutenant general.

An Shouzhong was loyal to Anlu Mountain, and killed the Xianbei Jurchens crying for his father and mother when he was in the Three Towns of Hedong.

In the Battle of Tongguan, it was An Shouzhong who played bravely and broke through Tongguan in one fell swoop. This is how the foundation of the false Yan was established!
In the Battle of Qingqu, An Shouzhong seized the flaw of the Tang army's aggressive advance and defeated the Tang army who had the superior force.

Now that An Shouzhong's prestige is rising, he is a leading figure in the puppet Yan court, but he is sitting at the desk and sighing.

The reason why An Shouzhong chose to fight at Xiangji Temple was not only because of his inferior military strength, but another reason was that the Puppet Yan did not have enough supplies.

Although Gyeonggi is rich and prosperous, the wars in these years have left the two capitals empty.

The common people have become poor ghosts. Who would have thought that the rich and prosperous Liangjing would still need to transport food from the east of the river.

To make matters worse, on the road from Hedong to the two capitals, there is still the nail of Suiyang.

Yin Ziqi, the puppet general of Yan, could not attack Suiyang for a long time, and the materials transported from the three towns in Hedong could not be transported by water. An Qingxu had to conscript the people to transport them along the way.

For this war, An Qingxu raised all the supplies in the two capitals, and even the soldiers guarding the palace gate were handed over to An Shouzhong.

An Qingxu stood up and secretly made up his mind that a decisive battle must be fought!

In the Tang army camp, Guo Ziyi was also discussing matters with his generals.

The military deployment on Datang's side is,
Li Siye was the envoy of Zhenxi and Beiting, and was the former army; Guo Ziyi, the envoy of Shuofang, was the envoy of the Chinese army; Wang Sili was the envoy of the camp in Guannei, and was the rear army.

Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, commanded the entire army, plus the motley troops from various states and counties who came from King Qin, and finally added the [-] Uighur cavalry led by Uighur Prince Yehu.

Guo Ziyi in the commander's tent has white beard and hair, but he sits high in the position of the commander, so that the other generals in the army tent dare not speak.

Guo Ziyi, the Dinghai magic needle of the Tang Dynasty, has been engaged in counter-insurgency work since the Anlushan rebellion.

Whether it was supporting Li Heng Lingwu's ascension to the throne, or the battle to regain the northern part of Guanzhong, Guo Ziyi participated in the whole process.

It can be said that Datang is currently able to maintain this situation, and most of the credit is due to this veteran.

Guo Ziyi looked at the generals in the tent and said:
"The tide in Fengshui is about to ebb, and it's time for a decisive battle with the rebels."

There was a lot of discussion in the army tent, but the faces of the former army commander Li Siye and the rear army commander Wang Sili were as usual.

Pu Gu Huai'en, the Shuofang army's attack envoy who had just been promoted, said: "Jie Shuai! Our army hasn't found out where the Yiluo River is yet. If we cross the river in a hurry, we may be attacked by the fake Yan halfway!"

Yiluohe is an elite Hu cavalry formed by An Lushan himself.

Many of these cavalry were warriors from the Hu tribe defeated by An Lushan, who were unified into cavalry after being surrendered by him.

Yiluohe made great contributions when the rebels captured Chang'an.

Pu Gu Huai'en's words are also correct in military terms. If you don't know the location of the enemy's elite, if you are attacked by the enemy while crossing the river, the Tang army will fall into a passive position.

Guo Ziyi just said seriously: "The enemy has Yaluohe, and our army also has four thousand elite Uighurs!"

"The battle is imminent, how can we not be afraid of the battle?"

"Pu Gu Huai'en, this commander misses your first crime, and first pardons your crime of fear of war!"

Pugu Huai'en is Guo Ziyi's old subordinate. Guo Ziyi has always been a Confucian general, and he reprimanded his subordinates in class. This is the first time Pugu Huai'en met him.

However, the other two high-ranking Tang troops in the hall knew why Guo Ziyi, who had always been prudent, was so anxious to send troops.

Sui Yang couldn't hold it anymore.

If Suiyang fell, Jianghuai materials would not be able to be transported to Guanzhong, and the court would not be able to maintain such a large army without supplies.

Both sides are racing, but Tang Jun runs a little faster.

If the rebels cannot be driven out of the two capitals as soon as possible, Datang's prestige will be further frustrated.

If there is not enough supplies, the [-] troops will turn into bombs, which may blow up the entire Guanzhong.

So Guo Ziyi could only order a decisive battle as soon as possible.

Both sides are making final preparations for the battle, and the old soldiers in the army put away their laughter and are just doing the preparations before the battle in silence.

When the battle in the Central Plains was raging, Longyou was also hurrying up to prepare for the battle.

Pang Yawei has led a group of players who can ride horses deep into the Modong grassland.

These players who have never seen the scenery of the grassland, looking at the vast golden grassland, couldn't help but turn on the in-game recording function.

Pang Yawei fought in the Mobei Grassland, and he has seen this kind of scene a lot. After everyone finished filming, Pang Yawei said:
"Everyone open the game map, remember to turn on the map recording function!"

"Only by clicking on the game recording function can you get the experience value of opening the map, everyone must remember!"

"After encountering a grassland tribe, don't startle the snake, mark it on the map!"

"At this time tomorrow, before dark, everyone has to rush back here to gather!"

Following Pang Yawei's order, the players scattered with laughter.

Pang Yawei also opened the game map and looked at the scattered green light spots and the gradually clear and detailed map. Today, he should be able to complete the exploration work of this camp.

Even Pang Yawei didn't expect that it would go so smoothly.

Since the defeat of the Eastern Turks, the tribes in the Modong area have been scattered.

These tribes fought on their own, attacking each other when they couldn't eat, or harassing the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Turkic people, Huihe people, Khitan people, and Shiwei people are all fighting on this grassland.

Also benefited from Datang's policy of differentiation, today the Modong grasslands are basically scattered small tribes.

The player's advance team did not encounter any threats. Just driving the map all the way, it was almost to Tongliao.

Looking at this piece of grassland next to the water, if you can be sure that there is no threat around, then you can build a garrison point here.

According to the plan, a garrison point will be built every [-] kilometers on the Modong grassland. This is a place for the marching troops to spend the night and a place for the transport troops to hoard supplies.

At this moment, an early warning sounded in the team!
