--

As the evening approached, all the fighting in Luoyang City stopped.

Although there is still smell of gunpowder and blood in the entire city, as the bodies of the dead soldiers passively leave the city to be buried, the blood stains everywhere are washed away, and the smell of war will slowly fade away. The rebellion has subsided, and it is still Tokyo of the Tang Dynasty, a prosperous city. As long as there is a period of time, there will definitely be endless business and travel, and the shadow of war will slowly fade away.

But now, Luoyang City still feels very nervous. Apart from teams of soldiers patrolling and searching back and forth, there are no ordinary people on the streets. However, with the sound of explosions and fighting, the people hiding in their own courtyards know that the war has ended, the rule of the "Dayan" has also ended, and they have become people in the Tang Dynasty again.

In just a few years, Luoyang has experienced several tragic wars, and many people are still worried about whether there will be another war in the future.

Yang Xi knew the people's concerns, and he also knew that appeasement of the people after the war was the first thing to do. When he ordered the soldiers to investigate the rebels' remains, he posted notices everywhere, telling the people in Luoyang that the royal army of the Tang Dynasty had returned and completely quelled An Lushan's rebellion, and the world was peaceful again, and the people could continue to live and work in peace.

After receiving a report that the war was completely over and all the gates and imperial cities in Luoyang City were captured, Yang Xi ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and remove the bodies and bloodstains, and also led the main generals to report the situation to King Yan Li.

Li Yan was really tired. When the battle was in a fierce state, he slept for an hour and a half, and was finally awakened by himself.

He dreamed that the battle in Luoyang City was not going well, and the troops he led were defeated. In the end, he fled in panic and was punished by his father Li Longji and dragged it out to behead him. The side was full of gloating brothers. The terrifying scene suddenly woke him up. After waking up, he quickly inquired about the progress of the war. After learning that Yang Xi had commanded his troops to attack the imperial city, he then calmed down.

However, after he woke up, he was anxiously waiting for the most accurate report of the battle situation.

Just as Li Yan was anxiously waiting, Yang Xi brought Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Pang Zhong and others back to report the situation to him.

"Your Highness, the last generals and others have led their troops to capture the entire Luoyang, capturing the enemy chief An Lushan, Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan and others alive..." Yang Xi stepped forward and gave a bow. After explaining the battle in detail, Yang Xi flattered his own father, who was lazy in military affairs, and flattered him. "Your Highness, under your personal dispatch and command, the soldiers worked together to kill the enemy, and finally captured the imperial city and occupied all the city gates in Luoyang City. Your Highness has a good command and finally quelled the rebellion and returned peace to the people of the world. Luoyang was able to be captured so quickly by our army, and rebel generals such as An Lushan, Shi Siming were captured together, and Your Highness made great contributions."

This was quite insincere, and Yang Xi felt strange himself. It also made Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and others feel strange.

It seems that Yang Xi doesn't like to flatter and flatter. Everyone knows that being able to capture Luoyang has nothing to do with King Yan Li Yan. Most of the arrangements were made by Yang Xi. According to Yang Xi's temperament, even if he doesn't pull the credit on him, wouldn't he push them all over Li Yan's head?

However, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi did not feel strange about this. Because they felt that Yang Xi was right. Li Yu was the Grand Marshal of the World. All the troops attacking Luoyang City were his governors. The biggest contribution was recorded on Li Yu. This is a natural thing. They had never had contact with Yang Xi before, and they did not know Yang Xi's temperament, nor did they know what happened in Chang'an some time ago.

They immediately stood up with Yang Xi and recited Li Yan's "wisdom".

After listening to Yang Xi and the generals' chants, Li Yan became more and more happy, and he smiled and signaled that the generals not to say this for the time being.

"Thank you all. Now that Luoyang has finally been captured by our army, and An Lushan and other rebel generals have been captured, I am very happy. I believe that after receiving this news, your Majesty will be so excited that he can't sleep!" Li Yu said, and couldn't help but stand up. "An Lushan's rebellion lasted for almost a year and a half. Nearly half of the world of the Tang Dynasty was captured by him. Fortunately, the soldiers fought bloody battles to combat the rebellion, and finally the rebellion was quelled. I am fortunate to lead the army to command this war and witness the demise of the fake Yan with the generals. This is also the greatest glory of my life. I will definitely ask for rewards for you in front of Your Majesty. I also announced that I would take out the seized gold, silver and treasures to reward the three armies! You are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. Without you, the rebellion would not have been quelled so quickly. Haha, God bless me, the Tang Dynasty!"

After hearing what Li Yu said, all the generals were happy and smiling except Yang Xi. What is the purpose of fighting? In addition to defending their families and defending their families, they were just robbing military merits and using their military merits to get rewards from the court. When the war was over, what the soldiers most looked forward to was this. How could they be unhappy?

Of course Yang Xi didn't care about these things, but he also praised Li Yu's move and won people's hearts.

The generals were humble and praised Li Yan. Li Yan continued to say that when the rebellion was completely quelled and the situation in Luoyang settled, he would personally take An Lushan, Shi Siming and other rebel generals back to Chang'an, and let the generals go with him. He would ask the emperor for the generals in person and ask for rewards. After Li Yan continued to express this, the generals were even more happy.

Li Yan immediately ordered the battle report in Luoyang to be sent to Chang'an for 600 miles, and immediately told his father that the rebellion had been basically quelled, the old man who was looking forward to the victory again.

Although Luoyang was captured, some counties and counties near Luoyang were still under the occupation of the rebels. As long as they did not announce their surrender, the rebellion could be said to have not been completely pacified. Next, the army would have to send out to attack these places.

But everyone knows that Luoyang has been captured, and the main leaders of the rebels such as An Lushan, An Qingxu, Shi Siming, Yan Zhuang, and Gao Shang have been captured or surrendered, and those counties that originally returned to the rebels of Kedi will immediately surrender. I believe that war does not need to occur in many places. As long as one order or a large army reaches the city, officials in those places will open the city and ask for surrender.

After arranging the follow-up affairs, Li Yan felt very accomplished and immediately ordered the generals to do their own work. He only left Yang Xi alone. Luoyang was completely captured and the military affairs were basically over. The subsequent arrangements were about to follow up. What to do later? Li Yan wanted to ask Yang Xi about his idea.
