Chapter 474 Jiannan dispatches troops
Luoyang has been recovered!
As soon as the personal guard finished speaking, the curtain of the handsome tent was vigorously lifted up. Gu Qing hurried out, and his tired expression showed a sense of ease.
The guard jumped off the horse, bowed to Gu Qing with his fists, and said excitedly: "Marty, good news! Luoyang is recovered!"
Han Jie, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, patted his thighs hard, and whispered: "We have actually captured Luoyang!"
The personal guard who reported the victory smiled and said, "Yes, at midnight tonight, there will be fire in Luoyang City. Later, there will be fierce fighting and fighting sounds in the south city gate. The suspension bridge in the south city was put down. Later, General Chen Tian led his troops to arrive. Seeing that the city gate was not open, General Chen ordered the city gate to hit the city gate. Not long after, the city gate was knocked open, which saved Wang Gui and his others' lives. Wang Gui and his brothers fought with the enemy at a critical moment..."
"In the end, General Chen led his troops into the city to encircle and kill the rebels. The rebels left in the city were about 5,000, which was no match for our Anxi Army. After General Chen entered the city, the rebels saw that the situation was hopeless and had already surrendered. Marquis, Luoyang City is ours!"
Gu Qing nodded and asked, "How were Chen Tian and Wang Gui and others injured?"
The guard was stunned. Seeing that Gu Qing did not celebrate the breaking of the city at the first time, but asked about the casualties of the soldiers. The guard couldn't help but feel moved: "Don't worry, Wang Gui and his guards were not seriously injured, and about five or six brothers were killed in battle. General Chen's troops were even less casualties. After the army entered the city, the rebels lost their morale and did not resist strongly. Most of them had surrendered."
Gu Qing nodded with confidence and then said, "Can Gao Shang be in the city?"
The guards were excited again and said happily: "The Emperor's Palace, which Gao Shang lives in Luoyang City, was captured alive by us. He was on his way to the camp. The Marquis soon saw him."
Gu Qing smiled unanimously, walked to the open area of the camp, looked at the fires that had not yet been extinguished in Luoyang City in the distance, and couldn't help but smile relaxedly, stretched out a long and stretched, and said, "It's almost dawn, and this night is tossing... Send someone to tell Chen Tian, immediately take over the defense of Luoyang City, send troops to station the city tower, and the scouts released thirty miles away to inquire about the movements of all parties at any time, select a few famous scholars and literati from the city, and serve as officials temporarily to maintain the normal operation of the city."
The guard held his fists and was about to leave, Gu Qing added: "Also, tell Shen Tian to restrain the generals entering the city to strictly prohibit burning, killing, looting, and any soldiers under our Anxi Army who dared to plunder and bully the people of Luoyang City would be killed!"
Back at the coach's tent, Gu Qing sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest. After the initial joy, his expression seemed to be unable to see how happy he was.
Duan Wuji walked to Gu Qing and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, we have recaptured Luoyang City. Marquis seems not that happy?"
Gu Qing still closed his eyes and said lightly: "The defenders of Luoyang City are empty, and it is expected to capture Luoyang City."
Duan Wuji said: "Marty, that is Luoyang City, the Eastern Capital of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know what a surprise will be for the king and minister if the news of the recovery of Luoyang is spread to Chang'an, and the emperor will also be willing to reward it. More importantly, An Lushan's northern grain road has been completely cut off by our Anxi army from then on. The rebels can support Guanzhong for less than a long time, and this rebellion will be quelled soon..."
Duan Wuji's voice became smaller and smaller, and his face gradually became full of suddenness: "The Marquis means that rebellion should not be quelled too quickly. If the rebellion is quelled, the emperor will resurrect his old ways and he will have suspicions about the Marquis. The Marquis will never have the chance to relax his ambitions again, right?"
Gu Qing smiled and said, "I am not that dark. If the rebellion could be pacified earlier, it would be a good thing for the people of the world. As for me, I will not be afraid of favors and disgraces, and I will not move at all. The Anxi Army is in my hands, and the city recovered by the Tang Dynasty is also in my hands. If the emperor wants to move me in the future, it may not be so easy..."
Gu Qing sighed and said, "What I am worried about is Hangu Pass. There is our real battlefield. I don't know if Li Siye's Modao Camp can be defended, and whether Chang Zhong's troops can arrive in time. The military situation of Hangu Pass is what I worry about the most at the moment. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I know that the difficulty of the Modao Camp soldiers is much more difficult than capturing Luoyang City."
Duan Wuji was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Marquis is merciless. General Li Siye will not disappoint the Marquis. Good news will come soon."
Gu Qing sighed: "I hope the casualties will not be too great. Modao Camp is a treasure I have carefully cultivated for several years. This time I have used good steel on the blade..."
Duan Wuji said: "'Good steel is used on the blade'. The Marquis's words are so wonderful. Students know that your efforts are to give the soldiers of Modao Camp a chance to appear, so that they can earn military merits and accumulate battlefield experience. The rebels have not yet been destroyed, and there are more life-and-death battles in the future. Modao Camp needs military merits and battlefield experience to truly grow up."
Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Reality is so cruel. If you want military merits, you can't bear to die. From then on, you will live in this troubled world. There has never been a saying that you have the best of both worlds."
"Don't worry, there is no coward from the top to the bottom of the Modao Camp. The students believe that the good news from Hangu Pass will come soon."
After a pause, Duan Wuji tentatively said: "Luoyang City has been taken down by us. Will the Anxi Army go north next, recover the cities occupied by the rebels, cut off the connection between the north and the rebels, and make the rebels in Guanzhong a completely isolated army?"
Gu Qing shook his head and said, "Don't rush to the north. We should have seen these days. Countless refugees came from the north. The rebels occupied the land in the north, but they could not keep the people in the north. The people fled south in panic. Now the landlords left in the north are those who are reluctant to leave the land and have to endure the blackmail of the rebels. The Anxi army is not in a hurry to recover, so let the rebels spend more days."
Duan Wuji said puzzledly: "Don't rush to recover the north... The Marquis means that the landlords in the north..."
Duan Wuji was shocked as he said that: "Is the Marquis going to use the rebels to erase the great landlords in the north and eliminate obstacles for the future?"
Gu Qing blinked and smiled, "Am I very smart?"
Duan Wuji immediately understood Gu Qing's intention, and couldn't help but bow to Gu Qing, sighing: "The Marquis's eyes are lofty and the pattern is so grand that students cannot reach."
Gu Qing said calmly: "The land problem is the root cause of the decline of the Tang Dynasty. The powerful and landlords have largely annexed the land of the people. Countless people have become landless refugees or serfs from the powerful and landlords. The court has accumulated a lot of corruption and cannot take the initiative to attack these powerful and powerful landlords. Just let the rebels die at the hands of the rebels, which will eventually lay the groundwork for the future great governance of the world."
A yellow memorial was taken out from his arms, with Song Gensheng's name signed on it. It was written by Song Gensheng in his study when a group of heroes in Qingcheng County fought with the dead soldiers of Jiwang.
Gu Qing never handed over this memorial. He knew that this was the way to cause trouble. After living for two lifetimes, Gu Qing would at least not be as naive as Song Gensheng at the time. He knew very well that some things could only be fooled and pierced the window paper. The only one who died would be himself.
But Gu Qing kept hiding in his arms with this memorial, and Song Gensheng's blood stains were dark red, which could be said to be the cry of blood in every word.
Gu Qing will hand this memorial over to Li Longji sooner or later, and let him read it carefully, but the premise is that there are countless warriors holding the spear to protect him behind him.
Gu Qing was doing something that Song Gensheng wanted to do but could not do, silently, in his own way, gentle and silent, but cruel.
Everything has nothing to do with him, but everything is in his layout.
When the two of them were in their tents, they rode a fast horse from Hangu Pass and rushed towards the Anxi Army camp outside Luoyang City.
…………
Song Gensheng is not naive today. Every man always has a childish time in his life, and Song Gensheng is no exception.
Men will eventually grow up, but growth requires a cause, perhaps because of the fruitless love when they were young, perhaps it was a heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching change, or perhaps it was because they saw the cruel truth of the real society, so they silently turned from a sheep into a beast in silence.
A touching text, a gentle evening breeze, a night rain with nostalgia, is beautiful, but it will never allow men to grow up. A man's growth is real pain. Every mature man has more or less scars in his heart, which is a trace of pain.
Song Gensheng stood by the mountain road outside Yizhou City, and teams of recruiting soldiers walked quickly on the mountain road.
Song Gensheng was still dressed as a civil servant, and the rough scarf on his head covered his forehead tightly. Xiu'er stood in front of him, pulled his sleeve reluctantly, and cried silently.
Gently stroking Xiu'er's hair, Song Gensheng chuckled softly: "I am a civil servant and I can't go to the battlefield. Xianyu Jieshuai will definitely not let me go to the battlefield, but I am the Sima of the march. I must follow the army when going to the battle. If you have no relatives in Yizhou City, you might as well let the servants guard the yard and send you back to Shiqiao Village, where there will be no loneliness."
Xiu'er nodded, but still choked and refused to let go of his hand.
Song Gensheng's eyes also showed some reluctance and helplessness.
"My husband is here to follow the army, you must take care of yourself, and you must not go to the battlefield. I would rather you be a deserter than show off your courage for a while." Xiu'er looked up and said seriously.
Song Gensheng smiled again: "I won't be a deserter. Guanzhong is in a hurry. Your Majesty ordered the military governors from all over the country to lead troops into Guanzhong to serve the king. Jiannan Road is also a military town, and they also have to send troops into the pass. Xianyu Jieshi has led the troops personally. How can I be exception? Don't worry, we will quell the rebellion soon and return to the army in triumph."
Xiu'er started crying again. In the distance, the long horn was urging the speed of the march again. Song Gensheng had to grit his teeth and let go of her hand, and then he gave a few more words of family affairs, and then left in Xiu'er's reluctant eyes.
The marching of the governor Sima was considered a great official. Song Gensheng was qualified to ride a horse, and Xian Yu Zhongtong also specially sent several personal guards to protect him personally.
After riding on the horse and following the army for more than an hour, the sorrow of separation gradually faded, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Song Gensheng's mouth.
This time, he followed the army into Guanzhong with the order, and he might be able to see Gu Qing.
