Emperor Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty was the eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he was the son of Li Heng of Tang Suzong, who had established himself as emperor without Li Longji during the Anshi Rebellion. After Li Heng ascended the throne, he made his son Li Yu the Marshal of the Terracotta Army, but he was only nominal, and in fact he still needed to rely on Guo Ziyi and others to quell the rebellion.
However, when Tang Suzong died, the Anshi rebellion was not settled, and Shi Chaoyi was still very rampant at that time, so what did Tang Dynasty Emperor do after he succeeded him?
After Emperor Tang ascended the throne, like Li Heng at that time, he also made his son Li Shi the Prince of Yong the World Marshal of The Terracotta Army, the servant Gu Huai'en the deputy marshal, and commanded more than 100,000 troops, including Hedong, Shuofang, and the various Dao xing camps and Hui qi cavalry, to attack Luoyang and deal with Shi Chaoyi.
In the northern suburbs of Luoyang, the Shi Dynasty rebels were defeated, annihilating more than 60,000 of them and capturing more than 20,000 of them. Shi Chaoyi only led hundreds of light horses to flee east, and after recovering Luoyang, The Servant Gu Huai'en sent his son The Right Wing Soldier and Horse to make the Servant Gu Wei and the Shuo Fang Soldiers and Horses Gao Fucheng lead more than 10,000 people to pursue Shi Chaoyi, Lianke Zhengzhou, Bizhou and other places.
In pursuit of Shi Chaoyi to Weizhou, he caught up with him and defeated him again, and many generals and soldiers surrendered to the Tang army. After Shi Chaoyi fled to Hebei, his general Xue Zhongyi took the initiative to march south with 30,000 troops, only to be attacked and defeated by the servant Gujiu ambush troops.
Coincidentally, the Hui soldiers also rushed to pursue with the Tang army, and defeated the Shi army southeast of Xiabo (in present-day southeast of Shen County, Hebei). Shi Chaoyi fled to Mozhou between emperors, but was later surrounded by Tang troops, Shi Chaoyi left Tian Chengsi to defend Mozhou, led 5,000 cavalry, and broke through to Youzhou to ask for help.
Shi Chaoyi ran away, but Tian Chengsi surrendered to the Tang army, and The servant Gu jiu led 30,000 troops and pursued again. At this time, Shi Chaoyi had completely no way to go, and fled to Fanyang, where Li Huaixian had already surrendered to Tang, and he did not dare to enter. Fleeing to Guangyang, he was also refused, and had to continue north to flee to the Khitans.
However, when marching to WenquanZha (present-day Fengrundong, Hebei), Li Huaixian's troops caught up, and the desperate Shi Chaoyi committed suicide, and the Anshi Rebellion, which lasted for more than 7 years, ended here.
