The first thing that brought back was the soldiers sent by Li Qingxu from Luoyang to follow An Qingxu's men, and the news brought back by the soldiers was exactly the same as Li Qing had imagined before.

Yan Zhuang took An Qingxu and the escaped generals to Xiangzhou. After arriving in Xiangzhou, Yan Zhuang sent Li Guiren back to Fanyang with 5,000 troops.

Li Yan knew as soon as he heard that Yan Zhuang saw that An Qingxu was not good, so he lost Chang'an and Luoyang one after another, allowing Shi Siming, who had a large number of troops to take power alone in Fan Yang, would sooner or later something might happen. So Li Guiren, who has a great status in the rebels, went back to watch Shi Siming.

But in Li Yan's opinion, Yan Zhuang's actions were completely a foolish move. With Li Guiren and five thousand soldiers, if Shi Siming really wanted to rebel against An Qingxu, it would be impossible to do anything at all. Most of the time, he would have to consider these five thousand soldiers to others.

Another point is that An Qingxu stopped in Xiangzhou and refused to retreat. He obviously had a lot of ambitions. He didn't want to let all the good foundation laid by his father for him be ruined. He also wanted to wonder if he could retake Luoyang and Chang'an City again.

After all, they knew that there were not many people in the Tang Dynasty now, and the total number was more than 100,000. After these two wars, although they did not lose as much as they did, they had already lost less than 100,000.

Once Li Heng returns to Chang'an City, the Tang army will have to divide troops to guard Luoyang and Chang'an. In this way, will their chance come again?

However, An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang's abacus were indeed good. Li Heng, whom they judged, would be eager to return to Chang'an City to be stable as his emperor. It was indeed true that he would not come to cause trouble for them in a short period of time. However, they did not expect that a person like Li Qing would emerge from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yan was relieved when he learned that An Qingxu had arrived in Xiangzhou and that he would not exceed 50,000 soldiers in his hands. In fact, the one he had the most missing now was the one. If An Qingxu had 80,000 or 90,000 people, this would be really difficult to achieve.

He knew that the only thing he had to wait for now was Li Guangbi's letter, and he would never be able to do this. Even if he forced himself to attack Xiangzhou, if he lost and lost a large number of troops, he would not only not make any contribution, but also convicted Li.

At the same time, An Qingxu, who fled to Xiangzhou, was worried about Yan Zhuang's advice.

"Prime Minister, since our army has arrived in Xiangzhou, what should we do next?"

Although it has been a few days since I arrived in Xiangzhou, An Qingxu was still uneasy and sighed every day.

I originally felt quite good to enjoy life in Luoyang City, but because of this defeat, I could only bring these tens of thousands of soldiers to Xiangzhou in a mess.

Although not many of the main generals died, An Qingxu was also afraid that the Tang army would follow him. After all, even Chang'an City and Luoyang City could not be defended, so it would be quite difficult to defend Xiangzhou.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. I have found out that our army had just been trapped by Guo Ziyi's treacherous plan! The Uighur cavalry did not reach the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The Uighurs who had attacked our army on the hillside were pretended by the Tang Dynasty cavalry! If there were really five thousand Uighur elites, things would not be so simple!"

"What? The great Tang Dynasty actually pretended to be the Uighur cavalry?"

"Hmph, doesn't this just show that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is not as good as our army? The reason why they are so eager to pretend to be the Uighurs and want to take Chang'an and Luoyang is nothing more than to take their emperor back. Once their emperor occupy Chang'an City, they will no longer be in a hurry to attack us. Your Majesty is here to wait for the training and rest for a year or two. Whether it is Luoyang or Chang'an City, they will be in the hands of my Dayan again!"

Yan Zhuang's confidence infected An Qingxu at that time. He didn't think much about anything else, and he became excited to enjoy himself again. He was wondering if he should be ready to fight for a long time in Xiangzhou, but the object he fought was a little different from others. The object he fought was the beautiful girls of Xiangzhou...

Neither An Qingxu nor Yan Zhuang knew that they, a place that thought they would not bring disaster, had been stared at by Li Qing. The biggest mistake Yan Zhuang made was to keep a close eye on the movements in Chang'an and Luoyang, but completely ignored Li Qing who left Luoyang with thousands of people, and did not care about Li Guangbi who did not have many people.

At this time, Li Guangbi had already received two letters from Guo Ziyi and Li Neng.

Guo Ziyi's letter surprised him very much. Although he was far away in Taiyuan Prefecture, he had met Li Heng after ascending the throne. He fully understood Li Heng's intention to establish his eldest son.

However, in the letter, Guo Ziyi told him that King Jianning Li Neng was a rare genius on the battlefield. Now they were waiting for Li Heng and Li Longji in Chang'an City, and they could not leave Chang'an City before Li Heng returned.

Li Neng proposed that it was an excellent opportunity to completely drive the rebels to Fanyang territory. Without Li Yu's support, Li Neng could only take the cavalry back to Suiyang as the governor of Henan Dao, hoping to cooperate with Li Guangbi.

Holding Guo Ziyi's letter, Li Guangbi did make a fuss. He did beat Shi Siming here with less and more, and finally saved such an important place as Taiyuan Prefecture. However, now he was asked to take his few people to attack Xiangzhou again, and he was not confident.

Just as Li Guangbi was hesitating, Li Qing's letter came.

With the letters coming together, there was also a map from Suiyang to Xiangzhou and then to Taiyuan Prefecture. Li Qing wrote down all possible situations and their response measures directly. The final conclusion was that even if An Qingxu could not be driven back to Fanyang, most of their troops could be basically eliminated.

"Well... King Jianning is indeed a general. I thought he was just a young man who was acting voluntarily. Now it seems that heroes are born in troubled times!"

Li Guangbi couldn't leave even if he was guarding Taiyuan Prefecture. Although it was a bit suspicious of using troops privately to do this with Li Qing, they were for the Tang Dynasty.

Besides, this was the time when the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty was at its worst. Li Heng wished that no one would tell him to fight the rebels. No matter how victorious or defeated, he would not be punished.

So, on the day he received Li Qing's letter, Li Guangbi waved his pen and sent a reply to Li Qing.
