After learning the news, the heavy rain also stopped. The next morning, Li 9 State immediately ordered the army to attack the city.

Yecheng was not easy to defend, and Shi Siming in the city had no intention of fighting.

Although there were defenders on the city gate and the city wall, when the Tang army began to attack the city, the rebels scattered and fled into the city one by one. The Tang army immediately climbed up the city wall and opened the city gate. A large number of Tang troops rushed into the city. The rebels fled in four places, but were soon caught up. After a battle, Shi Siming gave up Yecheng and fled to Fanyang with the army.

It took a full day to detain prisoners, clean up the battlefield, and calm the chaos in Yecheng. Li 9zhou didn't have much to worry about. He sent Li Guangbi to pursue Shi Siming to Handan with a group of troops.

Shi Siming had no intention of fighting and fled in a hurry.

Shi Siming fled back to Fanyang, met with Shi Chaoyi's tribe, ascended the throne of Emperor Dayan, established the capital Fanyang, and the reign of Shuntian.

In the palace of Yecheng, the dragon throne had been carried away. When the Tang army invaded, the palace had been plundered by the rebels, but most of the property was later recovered. At this time, the palace had lost its former glory. It was not possible as a palace, but it was still more than enough as a marshal's camp.

In the hall, Zhao Ziliang sat on an ordinary chair under Dan Bi. The officials sat on both sides of the school. Everyone was in a high mood. This was the biggest victory in the years of suppressing the rebellion. It basically laid the tone of the entire Anshi Rebellion. An Qingxu's power completely collapsed.

Next, just deal with Shi Siming.

Li 9zhou cleared his throat and said loudly: "Tell us about our next arrangement. This time, we wiped out the Anqingxu rebel forces, killed 780,000 people, and captured tens of thousands of people. I thought that so many prisoners could not be left behind. On the one hand, we could not bear the military expenditure and food supply of so many troops. On the other hand, because of the wars over the years, the young and strong people in the people suffered serious losses, production was severely hindered, and there was a lack of labor in various places. Therefore, I decided to draw from these prisoners.

Some strong and powerful combatants stayed, and then they removed some old and weak and wounded from the original army, sent these people home, supplementing the serious shortage of labor in various places, and allowing localities to resume production as soon as possible. All parts of the Central Plains are about to enter the rainy season. Large-scale wars are afraid that they will not be able to proceed. We will use this rainy season to complete this reorganization. After the rainy season is over, we will join forces with each army to siege Shi Siming's troops, complete the final rebellion, and completely resolve the Shi Siming's rebels."

Guo Ziyi also said: "If you compare An Lushan and his son with Shi Siming, their father and son are far inferior to Shi Siming in terms of military and political abilities. Although there is only one rebel now, Shi Siming is more difficult than An Lushan and his son to deal with, so we must not take it lightly."

Li Guangbi also said: "If Shi Siming is not eliminated as soon as possible, and when he manages Hebei like an iron barrel, we will have to spend more time to fight him. We cannot give up halfway. Therefore, we still have to prepare as soon as possible and pursue the victory."

Li 9zhou said to the generals: "The soldiers have experienced several major wars in the past few months, and they must be prepared next. The war has not ended. Now everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, so they will give the soldiers a two-day holiday to relax. In addition, they will give each person a reward of 1 guan. The military heads and the rewards of the school have doubled up step by step. However, the morning exercises and night checks are carried out as usual. Those who go out will be severely punished if they violate military discipline!"

Even the generals were very happy to have rewards and holidays. Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, coach."

At this time, the camp lieutenant came to report: "Report to the commander, the court sent Wei to see Lord Suwei to reward the soldiers."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, and the generals left one after another. Li 9zhou said to the camp lieutenant: "Go and bring him in!"

Soon, Wei Jiansu was led to the central army tent by the camp lieutenant. When he saw Li 9zhou, he smiled and said, "Li Shuai recovered Yecheng and defeated the rebels. It was a great contribution. The saint heard the front line repeatedly and heard good news, and he was very happy in his heart."

Li 9zhou said politely: "It's all the credit of the soldiers."

Wei Jiansu bowed and said, "Ship Li, I am here specially to reward the soldiers on the front line."

Li 9zhou returned a greeting, "Mr. Wei is here, I am in a position to welcome you. I will forgive you for your crimes!"

"Li Shuai is polite." Wei Jiansu bowed his hand again and said, "The saint is grateful to the soldiers ahead for their hard work and contributions, so he specially rewarded some wine, meat, and copper coins."

Li 9zhou turned around and clasped his fists in the direction of Chang'an: "I thank the Lord for your kindness for your soldiers!"

Wei Jiansu handed the reward list to Li 9zhou and said, "The items on the list are all outside the camp. Li Shuai can send someone to accept them. If there is no other problem, Wei will say goodbye."

Li 9zhou didn't have time to read the list, so he hurriedly grabbed him, "Since Lord Wei is here, why bother rush to leave? It's getting late, so why not go on the road tomorrow."

Wei Jiansu heard this and sat down and asked, "I wonder what else does Li Shuai need to do if Wei is in need of Wei's efforts?"

The people around the emperor were indeed clever.

Li 9zhou really has something to ask him for help.

After reading the items on the list, I asked someone to go and receive them. I poured a cup of tea for Wei Jiansu first. Li 9zhou then said: "If the air is getting colder today, my army still needs some winter quilts."

Wei Jiansu took a sip of tea and said, "I will definitely report to the saint when I go back. I don't know how much it needs?"

"One hundred thousand sets of cotton coats and quilts."

"100,000 sets!" Wei Jiansu had a bitter melon face.

Li 9zhou said: "Mr. Wei also saw the situation on the front line. I don't want my soldiers to die on the battlefield but were frozen to death."

This was said with confidence, Wei Jiansu had no choice but to respond and asked again: "Forgive me to talk too much, I don't know what plans Li Shuai has next?"

Li 9zhou understood that it must be the emperor who wanted to know his plan, but he was not good enough to ask himself, so he asked Wei Jiansu to find a reason to ask casually, and then answered seriously: "Now it is about to rain, and it is inconvenient to march, so it is just right for the soldiers to rest. After all, the rain stopped, and the army pointed directly at Fan Yang. In the end, Shi Siming could not prepare in Fan Yang."

"It's so good. It seems that the war in the world will be pacified in no time." Wei Jiansu said.

"This matter is not urgent," Li 9zhou said: "Please go back and report to the saint. I will do my best to kill the enemy, and the soldiers on the front line will not be afraid of death. We will definitely serve the country to the death."

What should be said and what should be asked also. Wei Jiansu got up and saluted and said, "I will definitely report these words in front of the emperor, so I won't stay here for more time. I will set off for Beijing."
