There are pros and cons of the two armies joining forces.

In fact, there are three armies in the Anxi Army camp, including 10,000 Hexi Army. Hexi Jiedushi Geshuhan is still lying in the camp to recuperate. His condition did not improve, and he is still paralyzed all over his body. He often has no consciousness. Gu Qing invited all the doctors from nearby towns and changed several recipes, but the effect is still not great.

If a person has a life span, even if Gu Qing wants to prolong Geshuhan's life span, he will not change the original trajectory of history.

In the original history, Geshuhan was captured by the rebels and died in the rebel camp.

In any case, with Gu Qing in this life, Geshuhan's fate is much better than the original history.

The history that Gu Qing wanted to change was not only Ge Shuhan, but also something that he had been worried about for a long time. The time was coming soon, so Gu Qing had to immediately solve the 20,000 rebels in Xuzhou and then solve the matter of eternal regret.

After the banquet ended, Xian Yu Zhongtong and the generals of the Shu army bid farewell, Gu Qing left Song Gensheng behind. The two sat in the tent and continued to drink, chatting about the past of Shiqiao Village while drinking. Before they knew it, they both got drunk and fell asleep.

The next morning, Gu Qing beat drums and gathered generals. This time, there were many generals in the tent, and Xian Yu Zhongtong and the generals of the Shu army also came.

Today's Anxi Army is still called Anxi Army in name, but in fact it is already a coalition force of the three major army towns. The commander is still Gu Qing. There is no dispute. The Hexi Army was gathered by Gu Qing, and the Shu Army was brought to the door by Xianyu Zhongtong.

Lao Gu has never fought such a prosperous battle in his life with his 80,000 troops.

Sitting in the main seat of the handsome tent, Xian Yu Zhongtong sat on the left, but there was an empty position on the right. That position should have been Geshuhan, but Geshuhan's body is now inconsistent, so Gu Qing insisted on leaving a vacant seat to show his respect for Geshuhan.

A small move moved countless Hexi soldiers, and Gu Qing unintentionally gathered the morale of the Hexi army.

After the generals arrived, Gu Qing, North Korea, smiled politely, and Yu Zhongtong reached out with a smile and made a move to give in, meaning that Gu Qing would give orders.

Gu Qing was not polite. If you can’t be polite about military power, it would be bad if you are taken seriously.

"The scout came to report yesterday that after the 20,000 rebels in Xuzhou were stationed and rested, they had advanced to Tangzhou. If the conspiracy behind it, the goal of this rebel was very clear, that is, to extend the rebellion to the south, and after siege the city and plunder the land, occupy the grain-producing land in the south, and become an inexhaustible granary for the rebel logistics supplies."

"Our king's army can never allow this rebellion to expand. The south is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's food production. If the south is lost, the rebellion will be even more difficult to quell, so this rebel of 20,000 people must be eliminated."

Gu Qing walked to the sand table and all the generals surrounded him.

Gu Qing pointed to Xuzhou on the sand table and said, "What's interesting is that except for this rebel army of 20,000 people, our scouts did not find any ambush behind them within a hundred miles. Chang'an did not see any obvious troops and horses mobilized, and Hangu Pass was always as calm as before. It seemed that this rebel army of 20,000 people was purely alone. Tell me, why is this?"

The generals of the Shu army participated in the military meeting of the Anxi Army for the first time. Everyone was a little restrained and didn't say anything.

Chang Zhong took the lead and said: "Mr., since there are no ambushes behind this rebel army, are they really just occupying several cities in the south to infiltrate south, or they are just a vanguard army. After capturing several cities in the south, An Lushan mobilizes the rebels from Chang'an to consolidate the territory..."

Gu Qing shook his head: "It's not that simple. If you were the commander, would you send an army alone for no reason? Especially when you know that there is an elite enemy next to you, would you let this army go out and die?"

Chang Zhong scratched his head in confusion, and he could no longer understand this question.

Chen Tian asked in confusion: "Since the scout said that there were no troops and horses in Chang'an and there were no ambushers a hundred miles away, what was the intention of this lonely army? Is it really just to occupy a few cities?"

Gu Qing sighed, "I can't understand this problem either... so I saw that they captured Xuzhou and now the troops were sent to Tangzhou again, but I still remained unmoved. All I was afraid of was An Lushan's trap. But I didn't know where this trap was, but I was sure that there must be a trap. The appearance and behavior of this rebel army were too unreasonable."

The generals in the commanding tent were silent, and even Gu Qing could not understand, so they naturally couldn't understand even more.

After a long time, a strange voice said, "Mr., is it possible... the ambush is not in Chang'an or Hangu Pass to the west, but in the north? Did the scouts inquire about the rebels in the direction of Luoyang to the north?"

The generals in the tent looked in shock, but saw a middle-aged general in his thirties standing behind the crowd. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, the general shrank his shoulder uncomfortably and said with a smirk: "I will talk nonsense, my husband will forgive me."

Gu Qing smiled gently: "As the commander's tent can discuss matters, anyone can speak freely, how can I blame you? This general's eyes are tight, who are you?"

The general clasped his fists and said sternly: "The last general is Qu Huan. He was originally a different general under the command of the Hexi Jieshuan Geshu Jieshuan. After the defeat in Tongguan, the last general with the second general with the second general with the second general with the second general with the second general. When he met the Duke's soldiers and the Hexi army, we were able to return to the camp. The Duke is now serving under the Duke's account."

"Quhuan?" Gu Qing murmured and said to himself: "It sounds a bit familiar. Is it another famous general? Are there too many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty..."

There was no time to recall how awesome the general was. Gu Qing asked: "Do you think the ambush is in the direction of Luoyang in the north?"

Qu Huan hesitated and said, "The last one is just a guess, I can't say it..."

"Everything we say now is just speculation, just brainstorming, and you don't blame me if you say it wrong."

Qu Huan gritted his teeth and said, "There are no ambushers in Chang'an and no ambushers in Hangu Pass, so the only possibility for the last general is the north."

Chang Zhong couldn't help but interrupt and said, "After our Anxi army abandoned Luoyang, the rebels occupied it again, but the scouts investigated that only about 5,000 defenders were left in Luoyang City. How could the 5,000 people be ambushers?"

Seeing Chang Zhong retorting strongly, Qu Huan smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak anymore.

But Gu Qing stared at the sand pan and shook his head, "No, I think Qu Huan's words seem to make some sense..."

Chang Zhong said in confusion: "Mr. I mean..."

Gu Qing said in a deep voice: "Our thinking has formed inertia, so we made a big mistake. We thought the main force of the rebels was in Chang'an, and there were no troops to mobilize the direction of Chang'an, so there were no ambushes. But who told you that An Lushan could only mobilize the main force of the rebels in Chang'an? Did he not prepare to make a comeback?"

All the generals were shocked.

Gu Qing continued: "Don't forget, in the current situation of enemy and us, the entire north of the Tang Dynasty has been occupied by rebels, and there are rebel defenders in so many cities north of the Yellow River, not to mention those alien tribe troops who are ready to move when they see the chaos in the Central Plains..."

"Is it impossible to temporarily draw some of these defenders, or borrow troops from the Turkic tribes, Shiwei tribes, Puluo tribes, and Mohe tribes in the north? At least in the eyes of those alien tribes, the Central Plains was in chaos, and An Lushan occupied the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The situation was very good. Even if it was a bet, An Lushan was worth a bet. Is it difficult to borrow troops from them?"

Chen Tian said in surprise: "Mr. Master means that An Lushan has added more troops and horses, and the borrowed coalition forces have gathered together to form an ambush ready to attack our Anxi Army?"

Gu Qing stared at Sha Pan and nodded, "This rebel with 20,000 people appeared too unreasonable. If you really can't find a reason to explain, what I just said is the only explanation."

The Hexi Army and the Shu Army generals in the tent looked at each other in shock. The already difficult battle to combat the rebellion was now added. Now the rebels have added more troops, and the rebellion seems to be becoming increasingly slim.

Could the glorious Tang Dynasty really be destroyed here?

However, the Anxi generals in the tent had a calm expression, and everyone's expression was very calm.

They had blind trust in Gu Qing. Since Gu Qing revealed the origin and direction of the rebels' ambush in one word, the next battle was to turn passive into initiative, how to annihilate 20,000 rebels, and how to snipe the ambush in the north. The prince would definitely arrange them clearly.

Gu Qing stared at the sand table and said slowly: "We are not in a hurry to send troops, and the rebels of 20,000 people are not in a hurry to annihilate them. Anyway, sooner or later it will be the dish on our plate. I will immediately send a scout to Luoyang to investigate the facts of the defenders, and then disguise themselves as people to cross the Yellow River and continue to investigate the whereabouts of the ambush along the north bank. If it can be confirmed that there are indeed ambushes on the north bank, let's arrange them calmly."

"An Lushan has a good plan. I want to set up a trap to destroy my Anxi army. Haha, how can I make him happy? This time I will not only eat these 20,000 rebels, but also eat their ambush!"

…………

The vast Qinling Mountains are covered with mountains.

The morning dew condensed on the tip of the leaves, and after a long time, it suddenly fell, and the water dripping fell on the ground covered with dead leaves and splashed everywhere.

A team walked slowly on the narrow dirt mountain road, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Everyone was staggering with weights. A gust of cold wind blew. A young girl in the middle of the team was trembling with coldness and couldn't help but hugging her arms and trembling.

A buckle was draped on her body, and the woman whispered: "Your Highness wears more clothes, don't freeze your body. People here are forbidden to smoke. If you are sick, it will be troublesome."

The young woman is Princess Wanchun, who has secretly escaped from the team where Li Longji fled.

Is it difficult to sneak around among the many Yulin Guard Royal Teams?

In fact, it is not difficult at all. Li Longji has become a frightened bird on the road and has no regard for other people's life and death. When he escaped from Chang'an, Li Longji threw down more than 300 court officials, including Wang Wei, a doctor in the Ministry of Culture. Many of the court officials who were thrown down had no choice but to surrender to An Lushan.

On the way to escape, Li Longji didn't care whether the others were in the team or not. After leaving Guanzhong from Chang'an, several princes and princesses had inexplicably left behind and disappeared, and Li Longji was indifferent at all.

It was under this situation that Wanchun secretly left the team.

Fortunately, there was a mature middle-aged woman named E, who was surrounded by her. E, who could not stop Wanchun from leaving, so she had to accompany her. Before she accompanied her, she did a lot of preparations, including buying a brigade coach from the Yulin Guard with money. For the sake of the generous reward, the brigade coach gritted his teeth and agreed to escort Wanchun to the Anxi Army Camp.
