Chapter 42 Want to get full power
Li Guangbi's gamble for life was obviously the right bet.
An Lushan is no longer as brave as he used to be. Now he can't even wear armor.
After becoming the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, An Lushan changed from being strong and fat to being truly obese.
This is dark and incredible, with Gao Tinghui and Yang Wuqin's betrayal inside, and Li Guangbi's strong attack outside.
There were 30,000 soldiers under Li Guangbi's command, but how could An Lushan know that only 5,000 soldiers were killed in the same place?
The higher the status and power, the less courageous you are, and this is not true at all.
An Lushan has not been on the front line for a long time, and even in the Battle of Nanyang, he is still supervising the battle from afar.
This night attack by Li Guangbi was the closest he had to the front line, and he heard the shouts of killing that were so close.
An Lushan really couldn't muster up the courage to leap over. He was the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom and there was no need to take risks.
Without too much hesitation, An Lushan chose to retreat.
Under the escort of Baqian Yiluo River, An Lushan evacuated to the south.
An Lushan was the backbone of the emperor of Dayan. His morale, which was originally not high when he withdrew from the entire military camp, fell instantly.
After learning that An Lushan had retreated, all the generals of the Yan army chose to fight and retreat, first to protect their own Qu troops and start fighting each other.
When the two armies fight, large-scale casualties often occur in pursuit battles.
The Yan army said that they were fighting and retreating, but this almost beaten tactic could not prevent Li Guangbi's attack at all.
As long as the enemy formation was dispersed, the remaining Yan soldiers who were panicked would be like fish on the knife board and could be slaughtered.
Li Guangbi was a vicious wolf staring at the prey, chasing An Lushan's escape direction, and biting him.
The more this happens, the more oppressed An Lushan is given, making him afraid to turn back and respond.
It was not until dawn that Li Guangbi withdrew his troops and stopped.
An Lushan also realized that there were only 5,000 Tang soldiers chasing him all the way, and they were so angry that they almost ejaculated.
Just as he was about to turn around and fight again, he found that Li Guangbi had already begun to retreat.
They were defeated overnight, and they were all trapped in the camp. At this time, they were attacking the Lu family again, which was tantamount to self-destruction.
Looking at the dejected soldiers beside him, An Lushan felt cold.
In this battle, Li Guangbi only dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers, and even if Gao Tinghui was added, Yang Wuqin had only 15,000 people.
With this little force, under Li Guangbi's bold tactic, he defeated the 100,000 Yan troops, defeating the fewer ones, and defeating An Lushan ran away with his head and his head.
The 100,000 Yan army was killed by 20,000, and there were 30,000 surrendered soldiers...
More than half of the Dayan army in An Lushan suffered casualties overnight.
Li Guangbi will be afraid of one or two of the 100,000 Yan troops.
Now there are only 50,000 Yan army, and he integrated Gao Tinghui and Yang Wuqin's soldiers, and recruited some strong Han people from the surrendered stroke on the spot, and the troops increased to 40,000 instead of reducing.
After a little preparation, Li Guangbi and Hongnong's 20,000 soldiers joined forces and followed An Lushan's retreat.
They bypassed Funiu Mountain and entered the Yingchuan territory.
Gao Tinghui is from Yingchuan. He is very familiar with the terrain of this generation and acts as a guide.
"General, as long as we go north along this road, we will reach the foot of Xionger Mountain and walk northeast along the foot of the mountain for one day. It is Luqiaoyi, which is on the upper reaches of the Luo River. We walk along the Luo River, which will shorten the distance of two days compared to the normal official road. If nothing unexpected happens, we will enter Luoyang first before relieving the thief."
A trace of brilliance flashed in Li Guangbi's eyes: This greed for heaven is the only one who enjoys this.
They walked north based on the route pointed by Gao Tinghui for half a day, and suddenly Li Guangbi got unexpected news.
An Lushan had no intention of retreating to Luoyang at all, but went straight east and headed towards Ruzhou.
"The whole army stopped!"
Li Guangbi hurriedly took the map from his arms, studied it on the horse's back, his eyes fell in the direction of Ruzhou. He frowned and pondered, and then suddenly said: "I miscalculated. An Zhe has no intention of merging with Shi Siming in Luoyang. He abandoned Shi Siming. He planned to use Shi Siming to attract Guo Ziyi's troops from the north and take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River from the east to return to the north."
Xin Jinggao said: "It's not that easy. There is also Geshuhan's Jiannan Army in the east. Geshuhan is a veteran with outstanding military achievements."
Li Guangbi said without hesitation: "But his troops are not strong enough. He divided the Jiannan Army into two parts. One by water and the other by land. Now Geshu Jiedu has only 15,000 troops in his hands, and the remaining 15,000 troops are on the way. An Lushan still has 50,000 people, and there are 8,000 people in his hands, so General Geshu may not be the opponent."
Of course, he still didn't say anything in his heart. This time he took the risk of attacking An Lushan, just to do his best.
Regardless of Geshuhan and An Lushan's victory or defeat, as long as Geshuhan gets involved, he will get one point in the credit.
Li Guangbi was not so generous that he gave in to this heavenly power.
"Chase!"
Li Guangbi closed the map and immediately ordered the three armies to change the marching route.
An Lushan passed by Ruzhou, but did not rest in Ruzhou. He just emptied the money and grain warehouse in Ruzhou and continued to go east.
It was An Lushan’s own idea to not turn back to Luoyang.
Faced with this decadent trend, most of An Lushan's men advised him to return to Luoyang and regroup.
However, in the battle of the Lu family, An Lushan's strength was greatly damaged, which also sounded a wake-up call to this former hero.
An Lushan is not blindly believing in his prestige. He has a hundred thousand troops in his hands, and even Gao Tinghui and Yang Wuqin betrayed him. Now his troops are half lost, and his strength is not as strong as before, and this is even more so.
An Lushan has always regarded Shi Siming as the number one general under his command, but this general has certain ambitions and is no less powerful than himself in the past.
When he was in a place, An Lushan thought secretly that if he was Shi Siming, in the face of this situation, he would surrender to the Tang army without hesitation, and then capture himself and present him to the court to make the merits and commit the crime.
Loyalty is based on certain interests.
Now I can no longer give Shi Siming anything.
At this critical moment, An Lushan decisively chose to give up Luoyang and let Shi Siming die on his own. He took advantage of the fact that the Jiannan Army of Geshuhan in the east had not met and broke the siege and headed north.
"Your Majesty, an enemy appears on our left wing!"
"Your Majesty, there are enemies on our right wing!"
An Lushan found that he had not entered the area where Geshuhan was responsible for and had been attacked by a small group of troops.
"asshole!"
An Lushan cursed, it was obvious that Ge Shuhan saw through his thoughts and sent a small group of troops to harass him and interfere with his marching speed.
An Lushan roared: "Don't pay attention! Keep moving forward, don't drag our speed down for these 180 people!"
Just on the hill not far away, Ge Shuhan looked at An Lushan's 50,000 troops and licked his tongue hungrily.
"Jingdu, Li Guangbi seems to be rushing here, as if he is going to compete for credit from us."
