All war ended near dawn the next day.

Wang Sili's troops and Pang Zhong troops both achieved brilliant results, almost annihilated the rebels' front and central troops, but the attack on Yin Ziqi's troops did not achieve the same effect. After knowing that Tian Ganzhen and Sun Xiaozhe's troops were quickly defeated Yin Ziqi's troops were also unwilling to resist. The morale of their troops was shaken, and they eventually turned offensive into defense, retreated and fled. Gao Shi, Lu Chongben, and Liu Guangting's troops joined forces to chase Yin Ziqi's troops under the order of Yang Xi, but they still Yin Ziqi used the cover of night to lead more than 10,000 soldiers to escape successfully.

After chasing until dawn, chasing 50 miles away from the Kushi Fort and losing Yin Ziqi's remnants, Gao Shi and other generals received the order from Yang Xi to ask them to return to the army and standby, so they stopped and led their troops back to the Kushi Fort.

The results of the battle were quickly counted out, with a total of more than 100,000 rebel soldiers captured, about 15,000 killed, nearly 30,000 injured, and the remaining troops fled.

After each general reported the results of the battle, Yang Xi rushed the final battle report to Chang'an in a hurry with 600 miles.

In addition to the one who continued to clean the battlefield and Liu Guangting's 15,000 troops chased and suppressed the nearby defeated soldiers, Yang Xi ordered other soldiers to rest a few miles east of the Qianshi Fort to prepare for follow-up operations.

Liu Guangting's men also annihilated thousands of prisoners in the next few days, and occupied some towns near the Kūstone Fort.

During the occupation of these towns, no fierce battle occurred. It was almost the time when the Tang army drove over, and the officials in the city opened the city and surrendered. Most of the officials in these towns were retained by officials from the original Tang Dynasty, and most of them were They were all unable to resist and were forced to mingle with the rebels when the rebels came. When the official army came, they turned against each other again and returned to the "embrace" of the Tang Dynasty. However, if the Tang army retreated. As long as these officials remain in office, they may become fences again and surrender to the rebels.

But these are not what Yang Xi wants to deal with now. He will accept and treat anyone who surrenders.

At the end of the war, King Yan Li Yan led his own thousands of troops to join Yang Xi.

When Li Yan received a report from Yang Xi that the rebels had been defeated, he still didn't believe it. Until he arrived on the battlefield in person. Seeing the situation on the battlefield and countless prisoners, he believed that the troops he led were Under Yang Xi's command, a great victory has been achieved.

"Master Yang, I really didn't expect that you would defeat the rebels so quickly!" After listening to Yang Xi's brief report, Li Yan couldn't help but exclaim. He felt it was incredible!

Although Yang Xi was very proud, he did not show any pride in front of Li Yan. Instead, he analyzed very pertinently: "Your Highness. This time our army can win, it is entirely due to the special operations team's attack on it for more than a month. The rebels' achievements made it impossible for the rebels to send scout cavalry to investigate the whereabouts of our army, which means they have lost their eyes and ears. They cannot detect the movements of our army. Our army's attack was launched before the rebels noticed. Before the army could react, our army broke through the camp. Sun Xiaozhe was shot dead and Tian Ganzhen fled. The rebels had no leader and most of them surrendered. It was reasonable that our army could achieve such military achievements. If so, In the case of not being able to win, that would be too unreasonable.”

Although he said this, Yang Xi was still very glad that the attack he led the army was not discovered by the rebels in advance. If the rebels discovered it earlier and responded, it would be impossible to achieve such a result. It may be a tough battle, a protracted war with heavy losses, and no one knows who will win. This can be seen from the tenacious resistance of Yin Ziqi's army that the rebels' combat effectiveness is still very strong. If Sun Xiaozhe and Tian Gan were really prepared enough With the powerful combat effectiveness of more than 100,000 soldiers under their command, Yang Xi believed that he would not be able to fight so smoothly.

The key to his victory in this battle is the same as the last time he attacked Shaanxi County. It was a word "fast". With his quick action ability, he launched a surprise attack before the rebels could react, which was the second time in later generations. During the World War, Hitler's bearded man had similar strategies at the beginning of the war, and the European countries were powerless to fight back. Is the war high in speed?

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Yan also agreed: "Marson Yang said it well. Our army can win because of the fast speed of marching, which makes the rebels have no chance to react, and they can only sit and wait for death. However, I still admire Yang very much. The Marshal's quick decision immediately decided to launch an attack after rushing back to Shaanxi County to prepare to wipe out Sun Xiaozhe's troops. However, I was always worried that our army would lose, but I didn't expect that Marshal Yang commanded the army to fight such a brilliant battle. Battle. I believe that after this war, the rebels must have been scared and dared not fight with our army. The rebellion will be settled soon."

Seeing Li Yan's happy expression, Yang Xi couldn't bear to pour cold water on it and responded with a polite sentence: "Your Highness, you are the commander of the entire army this time. It was under your command that our army has achieved such a great achievement. Victory, I believe that in a few days, Your Majesty will receive a commendation order. The last general congratulates His Highness Yan for his first leadership of the army."

Hearing that Yang Xi did not compete for merit with him, Li Yu was even more happy. He was not stupid enough to compete for military merit with his "personal" son. He laughed and said with a smile: "Marantor Yang is too humble, this battle will be done. The king has never tried any force, and decided that it was under the jurisdiction of Marshal Yang, and the attack plan was agreed upon by Marshal Yang and the generals. All the credits were under the jurisdiction of Marshal Yang. I dare not compete with Marshal Yang for me, and I am shameless. The court rewards!”

Hearing Li Yan say this, Yang Xi's favor for his biological father increased a little, and he continued to say polite words: "Your Highness Yan's words are inappropriate. Your Highness is the commander of the entire army. If you don't have your Highness's determination If this attack is launched, the war will not break out, and it is even more impossible to achieve such results as it is now. The last general dare not compete with His Highness for merit, and I believe that the court will reward His Highness with great rewards."

Yang Xi didn't want to talk to Li Yan about such things. After saying a few polite words, before Li Yan could say anything, he immediately said: "Your Highness Yan, the key to our army's victory this time is to attack quickly. However, when we attack Luoyang next time, this strategy will not work. An Lushan must have guessed that our army will attack Luoyang next, and he will definitely shrink all its troops to defend. If our army has not gathered its superior forces, we will be anxious. If you launch an attack on Luoyang, the attack will definitely not work. Attacking Luoyang will definitely be a tough battle, and we have to pay a very high price to win."

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Yan became more and more excited and asked immediately: "Then Marshal Yang's plan is to go to Luoyang immediately after the soldiers rest and prepare to attack Luoyang City? I think we should attack Luoyang as soon as possible so that the rebels will not have any

Time is arranged calmly.”

Before this start, Li Yan was very worried. He was afraid that the war would fail and his reputation would be damaged. He was punished by his father and ended up "stealing chickens without losing rice". However, after achieving this brilliant victory, he was also

He became blindly confident and felt that the rebels were just Er. As long as the army continued to advance, he could easily capture Luoyang and finally quell the rebellion. Therefore, he revealed unconcealed excitement in his words, looking forward to the beginning of the next battle.

"Your Highness Yan, the general thinks that we should not rush to attack Luoyang now," Yang Xi shook his head and denied Li Yan's proposal. "The general thinks that attacking Luoyang now is not a good suggestion, although our army has obtained consecutively

Several major victories, but the rebel forces are still not to be underestimated. Luoyang is the place where An Lushan proclaims himself emperor, and the defensive forces will definitely be very sufficient. If we force our troops to attack Luoyang now, the rebels will definitely do their best to rescue them.

Our army, which is considered a tired army, may suffer a heavy loss, and may not be able to capture Luoyang. Therefore, the last general feels that he is not in a hurry to attack Luoyang now, but should wait for the king-stricken army from other directions to come over to the army.

When it is not at a disadvantage compared to the rebels, it should be better to launch a large army to attack!"

This is what Yang Xi thinks now. He did not plan to lead his army to attack Luoyang immediately. His plan was to lead a large army to the city of Luoyang, restrain the rebels in Luoyang, and prevent them from escaping. He waited for the king-supporting troops in various places to serve the kings.

When they arrived, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops succeeded in attacking Fan Yang, they had the ability to draw out their troops to siege Luoyang, and then concentrated their forces to attack and strive to end the rebellion in Luoyang.

Yang Xi believes that after receiving the attack on Fan Yang by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops, An Lushan will definitely do his best to rescue him, and the 180,000 troops of Shi Siming and Cai Xide will also be returned to rescue Fan Yang immediately. But if he attacks Luoyang immediately, then he will still be

An Lushan, who was defending Luoyang, was likely to give up his plan to save Fan Yang, and asked Shi Siming and Cai Xide to return to Luoyang and fight to the death with his troops. In this way, the situation would be very subtle.

If Shi Siming, Cai Xide and Gao Xiuyan's 180,000 men quickly returned to Luoyang, the Luoyang defenders would be nearly 250,000, which would have an absolute advantage compared to the Tang army he led.

Luoyang City is extremely strong, and it is completely incomparable to Shaanxi County City. The city is also very large. There are more than a dozen city gates alone. His hundreds of thousands of people don’t want to siege the city under the enemy’s superior forces.

Even if he barely besieged the city, he may be defeated by the rebels one by one and ended up with a crushing defeat. Yang Xi did not want such a situation of joy and sorrow to fall on him. He now needs "stability".

In rush to attack Luoyang, but slowly confront the rebels, which may further deplete the morale of the rebels, and may not necessarily divide the internal forces of the rebels. The rebels are all composed of the original Tang army and have the power of the army.

Under heavy pressure, it is possible for some people with unstable will to surrender. If An Lushan is finally forced to surrender and let Luoyang City avoid the tragedy of war, that is the best thing. After all, in such a war, all those who die will die.

The military and civilians of Tang.

After hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Yu thought for a while and expressed his agreement: "Marson Yang, I agree with your idea. It is better to be more stable, so as to avoid making mistakes in the busyness and give the rebels an opportunity to take advantage of it."
