The Tang Dynasty was one of the most powerful dynasties in history, and the Tang Dynasty once controlled the Western Regions completely and set up the Capital Protectorate in the Western Regions. The Tang Dynasty was able to control the Western Regions, relying undoubtedly on the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and during the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing was the famous generals. It is undeniable that there were many famous generals during the Tang Dynasty, and most of these people were famous in history.
The Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly very powerful in the early period, but after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty weakened, and the Tang Dynasty's control over the Western Regions gradually weakened. After arriving, the Western Regions were freed from the control of the Tang Dynasty. Then again, the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion almost led to the demise of the Tang Dynasty, and if it were not for the military generals who could recruit good warriors, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would have perished.
In the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Battle of Taiyuan was undoubtedly an important turning point. The Battle of Taiyuan was also known as the Battle of Taiyuan, and the main commander was Li Guangbi. As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Guangbi's surname was Li, he was a Khitan and his ancestors were a khitan chieftain, and he was also a large family. Because he was born in Khitan, Li Guangbi was able to fight well from an early age.
It can be said that he grew up on horseback. Li Guangbi, who fought bravely, often won more with less, so he made great achievements in battle. Li Guangbi is in stark contrast to guo Ziyi at the same time, especially in the management of military and political affairs. Guo Ziyi's governance of the military and government relies on "leniency" and obedience to morality, which always makes his subordinates very moved.
Comparatively speaking, Li Guangbi relies on "strictness" and relies on majesty to subdue people. After the Outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Shi Siming coordinated With Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan, and Niu Tingjie, a total of four large armies and 100,000 people, and slaughtered them to Taiyuan. In the face of this mighty army, Li Guangbi was not intimidated. Li Guangbi was as steady as Mount Tai and immediately ordered his troops to repair the city wall.
At this time, Li Guangbi knew very well that if the city wall was not built, I was afraid that the soldiers in Taiyuan City would not be able to resist the attack of Shi Siming's army. Judging from the speed of building the city wall in ancient times, it was not realistic to complete the construction in a short period of time, so Li Guangbi urgently recruited the people in the city, plus soldiers, and hurried to dig a deep trench outside the city.
At the same time, Li Guangbi ordered that the soil dug out of the trench be transported to the city, which was used to raise the city wall either for anything else. The combination of trenches and high walls quickly increased the certainty of defending the city a lot. There were only a few thousand soldiers in Taiyuan City, and in the face of such a situation, Li Guangbi could be said to have no chance of winning. At this time, Li Guangbi knew himself and knew the other, and he never lost a battle.
Lee Kwang-bi played an intelligence role to the fullest. In the face of Shi Siming's attack, Li Guangbi was not afraid, because he had already learned accurate information. When Shi Siming was preparing to attack the city, he suddenly ambushed all over the place, and none of the three thousand Hu soldiers escaped, and all of them were killed. Facing Li Guangbi, Shi Siming couldn't think of a better way for a while, so Shi Siming thought of a siege.
After all, there were few soldiers in Taiyuan City, and the grain and grass were limited, and under such circumstances, siege became the best policy. Not long after the siege, Li Guangbi seemed unable to sit still, so he sent people out of the city to prepare to surrender to Shi Siming. It's just that Li Guangbi is a fraudulent surrender. On the agreed date of surrender, the city gates opened with only a thousand men and one general.
Shi Siming felt something was wrong for an instant, and suddenly, the camp made a muffled sound, and it was stunned that it was trapped in a big pit, and more than a thousand people were buried in it at once. Li Guangbi deceived him in order to dig through the tunnel, dig the tunnel, and then use a wooden stick to prop up the tunnel, and ordered that only the wooden stick need to be pulled down with a rope, and the tunnel collapsed.
At such a moment, Shi Siming's army was completely confused. Nowadays, it seems that it is the emergence of Li Guangbi that has changed the situation in Taiyuan. When Shi Siming had no way, another bad news came, that is, An Lushan was killed by his son. At this time, Shi Siming understood that he could not only take care of Taiyuan, but also other places to ponder.
Shi Siming left Cai Xide to stare at Taiyuan, and he led his army back to Fanyang. Li Guangbi learned of this news and immediately led his army to attack, cai Xide once again collapsed, and the siege of Taiyuan was lifted. With the killing of An Lushan, the situation of the rebels was even worse, and the hope of quelling the rebellion was imminent. At this time, the Anshi Rebellion has come to an end.
