In the battle of Xiangji Temple, the Tang army had 150,000 troops on one side.
The commander-in-chief, the marshal of the world's troops and horses, Li Chu, who served as the king of Guangping, was actually commanded by deputy marshal Guo Ziyi.
Among them, there are 110,000 Tang troops, mainly Anxi Army and Beiting Army. As for the auxiliary troops, there are 40,000, including 5,000 Tocharian Guards (Afghan Army), 5,000 Khotan Army, and 5,000 Uighur Army.
, are all southwestern barbarian armies.
The Anshi Rebels are the core force of the 110,000-strong rebel army led by their commander An Qingxu. Their deputy commanders are Li Guiren and An Shouzhong.
This is a typical, non-dramatic battle, that is to say, there is no conspiracy, sneak attack or betrayal in this battle. It is just an upright and frontal battle, completely fought out with swords and guns.
This was a fierce battle. The Tang army relied on the powerful Modao army and Huihe cavalry to defeat the An rebels and achieved a tragic victory, laying the foundation for the smooth recovery of Chang'an.
In this battle, although the rebels did not have a numerical advantage, they were well-equipped, experienced in combat, and had a large number of elite cavalry.
The most important thing is that compared to the Tang official army, which is a mixed bag of good and bad and can be called an international mercenary, the Anshi rebels are actually more united.
Although the Tang army won the first battle, Li Guiren won the second world war. Immediately after An Zhong ordered the entire army to counterattack, the Tang army was caught off guard and almost collapsed.
Li Siye, who was the vanguard of the former army, immediately shouted: "I will use my body to lure the enemy today, and I will die without regrets!"
After saying that, Li Siye took off his shirt, bare his chest, and rushed towards the enemy group with Mo Dao in hand. Like a god descending from heaven, Li Siye led thousands of Mo Dao troops to fight against the rebel cavalry, and finally helped the Tang army stabilize their position.
This allowed the Tang Army to win. Otherwise, the Tang Army, which had a complicated composition, might not even be able to achieve a tragic victory.
"With the addition of Li Siye, in the coming days, the combat power of Modao Army will definitely be improved to a higher level. By then, it can be used as a surprise soldier." Wang Yu thought in his heart.

Taiyuan, General Hussar's Mansion, Wang Teng's study.
"Ke'er, how are the preparations of the 30,000 cavalry under your command now?"
Looking at the high-spirited adopted son in front of him, Wang Teng felt for a long time. He picked up a cup of hot tea placed on the table, took a sip, and then said with a chuckle: "Not long ago, I sent someone to inform the court!"
"You will command the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Bingzhou Army this time to go south. After Liu Hong learned the news, he immediately issued a urging edict. Now, it is the third urging edict, asking you to go to Luoyang as soon as possible."
In the battle at Shangdang, Murong Ke only used tens of thousands of troops to defeat Tian Hu in one fell swoop. With hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, plus his identity as the adopted son of Hussar General Wang Teng, Liu Hong naturally wanted Wang Ke
Help came in time.
After all, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army has already prepared the final mobilization for war.
The vanguard army Shi Dakai has now arrived at Xingyang City. Although Guo Wei launched an attack at night and had no choice but to retreat thirty miles, the Yellow Turban Army with many soldiers will naturally not cause any trouble because of this failure.
Not long after this incident, Zhang Jiao added another 30,000 troops to Shi Da's army. At this moment, he was fighting with Guo Wei, the prefect of Jibei, and the follow-up troops of the Yellow Turban Army were slowly coming to Xingyang City.
Although Guo Wei is very capable, he probably won't be able to hold on for too long in the face of the coercion of millions of Yellow Turbans. Therefore, the imperial court already wants to order Guo Wei to abandon Xingyang and then withdraw to Chenggao City for defense.
However, once Guo Wei really leads his army and retreats to Chenggao City, then Hulao Pass will be the only barrier left, and it will be really dangerous.
That's why Liu Hong was so anxious.
…………
Not only to merge the states, he also issued orders to the people from other states and counties and recalled them all back to Luoyang.
Not long ago, after being unable to suppress most of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou, the Youzhou Zhuojun Army, part of the Liaodong Army, the Daijun Army, and the Youzhou Governor's Army could only leave some troops to defend, and at the same time voluntarily abandoned some cities.
This was also done to save troops and ensure that some important cities would not be recaptured by the Yellow Turban Army.
Nowadays, the Han armies all over the Han Dynasty have their own movements, and only the Bingzhou army is still in training. Of course Liu Hong is anxious, so he urges him again and again.
"Father, the 30,000 cavalry have been prepared and can leave the Shangdang at any time and go to Luoyang to support."
Murong Ke smiled calmly after hearing this, and then said confidently: "It's just Zhang Xun, the governor of Zhuo County, who sent someone to deliver the news. In a few days, the 120,000 Youzhou coalition troops will arrive from Yanmen to Jinyang."
, I, Bingzhou Army, still have to partner with them!"
This time, in order to deal with the Yellow Turbans and avoid the crisis of national subjugation, the Han Dynasty was ruthless, especially in Youzhou. If the troops of Liaodong County and Liaoxi County were removed, the total strength of the garrison troops in each county would be more than 100,000.
But this time, Liu Hong directly transferred all the troops in Youzhou to Luoyang. Although there were Xianbei and other foreigners here who were entangled by Wang Yu, Liu Hong's real purpose was to target the Liaodong Army.
After all, with most of the troops in Youzhou having been withdrawn, Wang Chong could only grit his teeth and serve as the de facto governor of Youzhou to deal with attacks from all sides.
Of course, in addition to this reason, it is naturally because the Han Dynasty is now at a critical moment of life and death. If it cannot survive this crisis, the Han Dynasty will declare the country's subjugation.
So what happens next to Youzhou is not something he needs to worry about.
Therefore, Liu Hong directly handed over the mess in Youzhou to Wang Chong to deal with it. This was also the last resort.
Only he, a man with both military and political skills and great prestige, could suppress the complicated situation in Youzhou after Liu Yu left.
After adopting such a strategy, Liu Hong did not stop there. Instead, after being reminded by Yang Jian, he came up with another trick, which was to confer Beigong Boyu, who had started a rebellion in Liangzhou, as the Qiang King.
This will temporarily stabilize the situation in Liangzhou and at the same time reduce the pressure on Wang Yu. After all, one clan cannot have two kings. I believe that after Er Zhurong learns the news, he will definitely send troops to suppress Beigong Boyu.
Today's Qiang people, with the strong rise of Er Zhurong, have become two parts: Eastern Qiang and Western Qiang. Er Zhurong is the king of Eastern Qiang, but Beigong Boyu is not the king of Western Qiang.
