Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 391 Shi Siming Captures Luoyang
Please enter text.Li Guangbi was recalled from Luoyang to Chang'an City, and suddenly announced his treason, and the news that Li Guangbi and his family disappeared was like a boulder thrown into a lake, setting off monstrous waves.

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were slandered one after another. One took the responsibility for Xiangzhou's defeat for the eunuch Yu Chaoen, and the other directly declared that he was in collusion with the rebels.

When everyone in the world is a fool!
There were 60 troops participating in the Battle of Xiangzhou. Although more than half of them were lost, nearly 30 troops were still defeated.All the soldiers knew that it was the eunuch Yu Chaoen who actually commanded and mobilized the army, but in the end it was Guo Ziyi who took the responsibility for the fiasco, and the eunuch Yu Chaoen had nothing to do with it.

Li Guangbi's incident was even more outrageous. He patrolled day and night to strengthen the defense of the Yellow River. He was afraid that the rebels would cross the Yellow River. In the end, he was suddenly recalled from Luoyang to Chang'an City.But there were even more rumors that when Li Guangbi had just left Luoyang City, Li Guangbi's family had already been arrested by the emperor's decree.

Anyone who is not a fool can analyze it, Li Guangbi is slandered.

With Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's military exploits, they regained Hedong and the two capitals. It can be said that there were no two of them. Datang didn't know when they would be able to regain the two capitals.Originally, the rebel army had already escaped the Yellow River, and soon they would perish like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. But in the final battle, when 60 troops marched north, the court was wary of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and would rather hand over the army to a eunuch to command, how absurd.

This was a chilling thing. The reason why the generals from all walks of life did not attack was because Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were suppressing at the same time, and the generals from all walks of life respected their prestige.

But now, the two have been slandered one after another!
Could it be that he made great military exploits for the imperial court, but in the end he was only suspected and did not end well?

The emperor repeatedly made foolish tricks and only believed in the eunuch. As long as the eunuch said a word, he could directly punish the crimes of the generals with great military exploits and kill them without even checking.Gao Xianzhi is like this, Feng Changqing is like this, and now Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are like this.

This is more than chilling, it is simply despair from the bottom of my heart, and I can no longer raise any thoughts of fighting for the court.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Shi Siming originally didn't expect to cross the Yellow River so quickly, but after the news reached his ears, he was overjoyed. How could he let such a good opportunity pass by and forcefully cross the Yellow River immediately.

The defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River was carefully constructed by Li Guangbi. Of course, the guards were the generals brought out by Li Guangbi. The defense line on the south bank was given over to Shi Siming's rebels.

"Hahahaha, the Tang Dynasty is so stupid, how can it not be destroyed!" Shi Siming laughed wildly, and he easily led an army of 20 to kill the Yellow River.

Immediately, Shi Siming went to Lingchang, Chenliu, and Hulao to force Luoyang.

Li Guangbi and Wang Sili were originally sitting in Luoyang. After Li Guangbi left, only Wang Sili was left.

Wang Sili was even more disappointed with the Tang court than the generals. He had served as generals under Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan back then, and he had seen with his own eyes how the imperial court forced Gao Xianzhi to death step by step and Ge Shuhan to leave Tongguan and was defeated.

Now seeing Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi being slandered one after another, the imperial court did not even conduct a thorough investigation to directly convict them, so they have no trust in their generals.

Of course, disappointment is disappointment, Wang Sili still has some bottom lines, and he will not surrender to the army just because he is disappointed with Datang, so Wang Sili's defense of Luoyang is quite serious.

However, Wang Sili still has some bottom lines, which does not mean that other generals who were also disappointed with the Tang court also have bottom lines. They showed their chilling and anger more thoroughly, and they directly joined the rebels.

When Shi Siming approached the city with 20 rebel soldiers, a general opened the gate of Luoyang.

"Kill!" Shi Siming excitedly marched into Luoyang!

If Shi Siming's rebel army hadn't invaded Luoyang, relying on Luoyang's tall and strong city walls, Wang Sili still had the intention of defending, but when someone in Luoyang City rebelled and opened the city gate, allowing Shi Siming to easily enter the city, Wang Sili would have nothing to do. Continuing to resist the mind, just want to escape.

Immediately, Wang Sili escaped from the city gate on the other side and handed over Luoyang City to Shi Siming.

Shi Siming captured Luoyang City with less than 1000 casualties.

Seeing Luoyang City pass by Anlu Mountain, and the tall city wall that An Qingxu built over the past few years, Shi Siming was full of pride.

Originally attacked the Yellow River, although he had an army of 20, he still had no confidence that he could take Luoyang City. He was so happy, if he could win Luoyang City, then his prestige among the rebels would definitely not be worse than that of An Lushan back then, and some voices of dissatisfaction and opposition because he killed An Qingxu would disappear.

After the capture of Luoyang City, Shi Siming's anti-army momentum surged, and the horror of the original Anlu Mountain period was restored.

Compared with the great momentum of the anti-army, Chang'an City and the Tang court were in panic and despair. They seemed to have seen the scene where the Anlu Mountain anti-army captured Luoyang City, then entered Guanzhong, captured Chang'an City, and the court went into exile. up.

Is Datang facing Shi Siming and facing the tragic situation of the fall of the two capitals and the emperor's exile again?

At this time, Suzong Li Heng also panicked, and hastily ordered Lu Jiong, the governor of Shannan Road, to be the marshal of the army to lead troops to defend Shanzhou, Lingbao and Tongguan.

Historically, this was Li Guangbi's task. If Li Guangbi led the army, although the force was weaker than the rebels, they still defended Shanzhou, Lingbao, and Tongguan.But now it has been replaced by Lu Jiong, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Road.

There is nothing wrong with Lu Jiong being a general. He once followed Ge Shuhan, but he was just a general, not a handsome talent.

At the beginning, Li Guangbi was able to rely on a mere 1 defenders in Taiyuan City to withstand the siege of [-] rebels, and even defeated [-] rebels with a night attack.Also besieged in Nanyang, Lu Jiong's [-] army can only rely on Li Fei to break out of the siege, this is the gap.

Lu Jiong led an army of [-] South Roads north to Shanzhou, and fought a battle with the rebels outside the city of Shanzhou. Although he did not lose, he failed to repel the rebels. With the continuous reinforcements of the rebels, Lu Jiong Unable to bear the pressure, Jiong had to give up Shanzhou and retreat to Lingbao.

There was another battle with the rebels in Lingbao. At this time, Shi Siming sent more rebels. Lu Jiong was defeated and lost more than [-] troops. He had to retreat to Tongguan with the remaining [-] to [-] remnants. Shi Siming's anti-army soldiers came to Lintong Guan City, and Guanzhong and Chang'an City shook.
