When Nan Jiyun entered the city, Zhang Wu's hand tightly grasped Nan Jiyun's thick palm with missing fingers, and his anxious heart finally relaxed.
"General Nan, you came so quickly!" Zhang Wu praised.
Nan Jiyun said with a smile: "Zhang Shuai has a call, how can he not go quickly? What's more, it is for the people of Luoyang!"
Nan Jiyun then said: "Come here! Raise my flag on the city wall!"
Prince Ye Hu made trouble in Guo Ziyi's tent, while Guo Ziyi was wiping his sword.
When Prince Ye Hu came in mumbling, Guo Ziyi still looked at the bright sword in his hand.
Prince Ye Hu sat down with a golden sword and said:
"Marshal! Will the rebels in Luoyang City surrender or not? Could it be that these rebels are delaying?"
But Guo Ziyi said: "When the imperial edict comes, I can send an envoy to negotiate the terms of surrender. Prince Ye Hu, please be patient. Isn't there still one day?"
Ye Hu said angrily: "If we really want to surrender, why did I lead the troops to knock on the door, and the Luoyang defenders used magic to hurt my soldiers?"
Guo Ziyi looked at the sword in his hand and said: "Prince Ye Hu, everyone in the army said that the four thousand elite Uighur cavalry are a sharp sword. Every time it is unsheathed, it can cut through gold and iron, and it will be invincible."
Hearing Guo Ziyi praise himself, Prince Ye Hu raised his head.
Then Guo Ziyi added: "But there is a saying among the Han people that it is easy to break if it is too strong. If this sword is often unsheathed and cut several times, it will become blunt easily, and it may even break."
After saying this, Guo Ziyi struck the sword on the table with all his strength.
I only saw that this extremely sharp sword was broken into two pieces with a clang!
When Prince Ye Hu saw the old man with white hair and beard in front of him, he suddenly turned into a ferocious tiger descending the mountain.
Only then did Prince Ye Hu remember that the old man in front of him was the Shuofang Jiedushi who had guarded the northwest border for decades.
It is the wall of the empire that suppresses the grassland and dare not go south from Yinshan Mountain!
When Prince Ye Hu was growing up, it was when Guo Ziyi suppressed the northwest.
Perhaps because of long contact, Prince Ye Hu has forgotten the majesty of this veteran.
He was about to retreat bitterly, but he heard a burst of noise outside the big tent.
"Commander! The Henan Army has entered Luoyang!"
A general rushed in and reported to Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi made a show of throwing away the broken sword, and Prince Ye Hu rushed out of the camp angrily.
He immediately said to Wu Guluo: "The Tang people are making fun of us!"
After saying this, Prince Ye Hu and his cavalry rushed out of Datang's military camp and rushed to the west gate again.
I only saw a military flag with a big word "South" raised on the west gate, and a general in golden armor standing under the military flag.
This golden armor is Yin Ziqi's armor. After the Suiyang battle, this armor became Nan Jiyun's trophy.
Standing in the sun with his golden armor shining, Prince Ye Hu rode his horse and said to Nan Jiyun on the city wall:
"I am Prince Yehu of the Uighur, and I am the army invited by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to help the Tang Dynasty. Please open the city gate quickly and let me in!"
Nan Jiyun said loudly: "I am Nan Jiyun under the command of Suiyang Jiedushi. Luoyang has surrendered to Zhang Jieshuai. Our army is taking over the defense and inventorying the treasury. The city is in chaos. Prince Ye Hu is also asked to station outside the city.
.”
Prince Ye Hu immediately lost his grace and cursed bitterly: "You, the prince of the Tang family, have agreed with me that when the city of Luoyang is defeated, I will let my Uighur army plunder it for three days! Now that Luoyang has surrendered, why don't you open the city gate quickly!"
Nan Jiyun said, "Where is the prince? Why don't I, Nan, know about this agreement?"
"Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty! Even the crown prince can't give away the eastern capital easily, right?"
Prince Ye Hu said angrily: "The crown prince and I have a secret agreement! Of course you don't know!"
Nan Jiyun continued: "Since it is a secret agreement, please tell me personally, Prince!"
Nan Jiyun walked down the city wall, and a row of archers stood on the city wall, pointing the bright arrows in their hands at Prince Ye Hu below the city wall.
Wu Juluo said in fear: "Prince, this Nan Jiyun is the bravest of the three armies. The city of Luoyang is so high and strong that it cannot be attacked by force!"
Prince Ye Hu said angrily: "Let's go! Go to the Tang family prince to ask for an explanation!"
At this time, the Prince of Tang Dynasty and King Guangping Li Chu had already received the news, and he had already gone into hiding.
Prince Ye Hu returned to the military camp and first went to King Guangping's camp. When he saw that the camp was empty, he concluded that Li Chu and Guo Ziyi had played a double yellow to slow down the attack.
Prince Ye Hu simply sat in the prince's camp and asked the soldiers to shout loudly: "The prince of the Tang Dynasty betrayed his trust and allowed me to return to Huiguo and rob Luoyang for three days. He secretly released the Henan army into Luoyang with his army and took away everyone's military glory!"
Originally, the soldiers of the Tang Army were just watching the fun, but when they heard what Prince Ye Hu sent someone to say, their hearts trembled.
The recapture of Luoyang was a great achievement. If it was really the prince who gave it to the Eastern Route Army, wouldn't it be a deliberate attempt to suppress our own soldiers?
These soldiers of the Tang Army who had just won the battles of Xiangji Temple and Shaanxi Gorge were also dissatisfied and started to make trouble with the Uighurs.
Seeing that the military camp was about to lose control, Guangping Wang Li Chu still didn't know where to hide.
Many captains and brigade commanders were dissatisfied with the crown prince and were about to rush to the camp of coach Guo Ziyi to ask for an explanation.
Guo Ziyi led people to the camp.
Guo Ziyi said: "In order to repay Master Wang, the people of Luoyang took the initiative to collect 50,000 pieces of silk, and now they have been delivered to the gate of the military camp."
"All officers and men, return to camp quickly and select quartermasters to collect rewards!"
When the soldiers heard that the silk collected by the people of Luoyang had arrived outside the military camp, the soldiers who had gathered to ask for explanations dispersed and ran back to the military camp.
Guo Ziyi then said to Prince Ye Hu: "The people of Luoyang and the East Route Army also prepared treasures for Prince Ye Hu."
Only one soldier was seen carrying five large boxes up.
Prince Yehu was angry and ordered Wujuluo to open these big boxes.
All I saw in the box were round glass beads with various patterns and dazzling lights.
In addition to glass beads, there are also flawless transparent glass stones.
The bottom of the box is also padded with red and blue dyed cotton cloth.
Guo Ziyi said: "This is a reward for the Uighur army. What do you think, prince?"
Prince Ye Hu took a look at these treasures. Although they were not worth 200,000 pieces of silk, the gems were of good quality, so they should be worth 100,000 pieces of silk, right?
Going for a robbery is still risky, but now that you can get money just by sitting down, it seems pretty good.
Prince Ye Hu said: "Since Marshal Guo said it, then I will talk to the soldiers!"
After a while, Wu Guluo had already negotiated with his military leaders and winked at Prince Ye Hu.
Prince Ye Hu pretended to be reluctant and said: "Then it's settled! This Luoyang can be saved!"
But Prince Ye Hu suddenly drew his sword, and the guards around Guo Ziyi immediately stepped forward, but were stopped by Guo Ziyi with a smile.
Seeing Guo Ziyi's magnanimity, Prince Ye Hu also secretly admired him, he was worthy of being the military god of the Tang Dynasty!
Prince Ye Hu naturally did not draw the knife to kill Guo Ziyi. He grabbed a handful of his own hair and cut off this section of hair.
"The prince of your country is a treacherous and cowardly villain! I, Ye Hu, disdain to be his brother!"
"Cut off this piece of hair, and I, Ye Hu, will sever all ties with Li Chu'en!"
After cutting off his beard and severing the friendship, Prince Ye Hu asked his men to carry the glass beads and leave.
Guo Ziyi sighed slightly, finally saving Luoyang City from being plundered by the Uighurs.
But Guo Ziyi couldn't figure out why the ransom collected by Luoyang City was sent down the Bian River from Fengxiang Mansion to the military camp.
But Guo Ziyi didn't know that the price of "treasures" such as glass beads had dropped to the same level as ordinary variegated jade due to Shangbo's large-scale distribution in Fengxiang Mansion.
If these "treasures" are brought to Fengxiang Mansion, they may not even be able to exchange for 20,000 pieces of silk, and these "treasures" are still depreciating in value.
If these "treasures" get to the Uighurs, the price of the glass beads will have been ruined by the players and merchants.
Nowadays, children on the grassland are playing marbles with glass beads. A child with superb skills can win a bag of marbles in one day.
Prince Ye Hu didn't even know that the price of cotton on the grassland had plummeted, and the wholesale price was almost the same as the price of linen.
After sending Prince Ye Hu away, Guo Ziyi sighed.
After Prince Ye Hu made such a fuss, the whole army knew about the secret agreement between Crown Prince Li Chu and Prince Ye Hu to let the Uighurs plunder Luoyang for three days after the city of Luoyang was destroyed.
The reason why a secret agreement is a secret agreement is because it cannot be seen in the light.
Luoyang was the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, the capital of a majestic country, but it was promised by Li Chu to be plundered by the Uighurs!
Our Tang army fought life and death, but the greatest contribution was made by the Uighurs?
In the eyes of low-level officers and ordinary soldiers, Li Chu's behavior was tantamount to betrayal.
It was a betrayal of the entire Tang army and the people of Luoyang!
Currently stationed under Luoyang City are the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the Shuofang Army who followed Guo Ziyi in his southern and northern campaigns, there were also elite troops from various local towns who came over to King Qin, as well as the Shence Army of the Central Forbidden Army, which was reorganized by the emperor himself.
The seeds of this kind of thinking were planted in the hearts of the soldiers, and resentment against the crown prince continued to accumulate.
Li Chu, who had just escaped from the military camp and was hiding from Prince Ye Hu, heard that the matter was resolved satisfactorily and that he no longer had to be chased by the Uighurs to ask for reward. He finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's just that the Tang Prince was happy that he had escaped a disaster, not that the people of Luoyang City had escaped a catastrophe.
Next, Henan's East Route Army entered Luoyang City, and the people of Luoyang City lined the streets to welcome them.
For Guo Ziyi's West Route Army outside the city, the common people also sent various supplies, which put the soldiers at ease.
Next, Guo Ziyi accepted the surrender of the fake Prime Minister Yan outside the city, and Yan Zhuang stayed behind in Luoyang.
Yan Zhuang presented Luoyang's field records, the treasury's yamen's account books, the sealed fake Yan seals, and the list of officials.
Guo Ziyi read out an edict personally issued by the emperor from Fengxiang Mansion, pardoning the crimes of thirty-seven officials, including Yan Zhuang, who voluntarily surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty court appointed Yan Zhuang as the Da Nong Ling. Although the Da Nong Ling was only a false position responsible for the national water conservancy and irrigation projects, it was also a high-ranking position of the third rank.
When this new news came out, the county magistrates of the puppet Yan state who were still resisting throughout the Guanzhong area surrendered one after another, and the Tang Dynasty also granted them official positions.
However, some people are happy while others are sad. At least people like Yan Zhuang have contributed to bringing Luoyang City to surrender.
Da Xixun, the prime minister of the puppet Yan, was in such a miserable situation. He took the initiative to seek refuge in Anlu Mountain. After becoming an official of the puppet Yan, he tried his best to massacre the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty who had stayed in the two capitals.
Even many of the Li Tang clan members who failed to escape Luoyang died in his hands.
And Da Xixun is Yan Zhuang's political enemy. After An Qingxu escaped from Luoyang, Da Xixun was controlled by the player.
Now he is being detained in the prison of Luoyang City together with a group of officials who surrendered to the puppet Yan.
Guo Ziyi also received an order from the court, and a group of renegade officials, including Da Xixun, were all sent to Chang'an and handed over to the Three Laws Division for trial.
For this purpose, Guo Ziyi specially built dozens of prison vans, and Da Xixun, with disheveled hair, was sent into the prison van.
At the end of the prison car was a middle-aged man with gray hair.
The person in charge of sending prison cars to Chang'an from Luoyang was the player Shan Tao. He looked at the list, then looked at the middle-aged man on the last prison car and asked:
"Are you Wang Wei?"
Wang Wei's poems were famous, and because he was the prince Zhongyun appointed by An Lushan himself, he was naturally on the list of officials who had defected to the enemy.
Wang Wei fled from Chang'an to Luoyang, but still did not escape the fate of being captured.
Now he was huddled in the prison car, completely lacking the Buddha nature of the Tang Poetry Buddha. Wang Wei raised his head blankly and looked at the officer who called out his name.
