The poet Li Bai likes to travel around the world. When he once traveled to Taiyuan, he rescued a young man and became good friends with him! There is also a poem from later generations to describe the relationship between the two: Yue Guangbi was famous for a generation, and Qinglian was a close friend for thousands of years. (Li Bai Qinglian Jushi) This person who was rescued later turned the tide of the Fu Mansion during the Anshi Rebellion and saved the Tang Dynasty! This person is Guo Ziyi!
The poet Li Taibai traveled all over the world and came to Taiyuan one day. Li Bai and Shu Han, the Taiyuan guard at the time, were very close friends. When they arrived in Taiyuan, they naturally went to Taiyuan to eat and drink with his brother Shu Han (this This is Li Bai’s consistent style). Ge Shuhan entertained Li Bai warmly. Before leaving, he happened to encounter Ge Shuhan who was about to execute a prisoner. This person was Guo Ziyi!
It turns out that Guo Ziyi had just joined the army at that time and lost part of the food and grass while escorting it. This was a serious crime in the army and he was sentenced to beheading according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. When Li Bai saw Guo Ziyi, he was immediately impressed by his appearance and demeanor (Li Bai always liked to make friends with handsome guys). Guo Ziyi's appearance was majestic and his demeanor was full of majesty. Li Bai was immediately moved with compassion! So he ran to Ge Shuhan to intercede for Guo Ziyi, and Ge Shuhan exempted Guo Ziyi from the blame! Guo Ziyi escaped death and remembered Li Bai's kindness from then on!
Guo Ziyi is resourceful, brave in battle, and promoted quickly! In the 14th year of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao reign, the Anshi Rebellion broke out. In Anlu Mountain, Shi Siming led 200,000 troops to attack the city and destroy the stronghold, and conquered more and more cities. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Guo Ziyi as the governor of Shuofang. Guo Ziyi calmly analyzed the current situation and believed that the Hebei battlefield was very important, and formulated correct combat policies and marching routes. He often defeated the enemy with surprise attacks, and the victory achieved spread throughout Hebei, cutting off the military connection between Shi Siming and An Lushan.
It is a pity that Tang Xuanzong did not adopt Guo Ziyi's strategy of taking the initiative from Tongguan, and listened to Yang Guozhong's suggestion: defend Tongguan to the death! Sure enough, Tongguan was quickly captured by An Lushan. Because of this failure, the war lasted for many more years! At this time, the Tang Dynasty was already in turmoil! The universe is in chaos, and the building is about to collapse, who else can I do? Only Guo Ziyi, and only Guo Ziyi, stood up again. Storming Tongguan, annihilating countless rebels, and opening up the front line between Tongguan and Shaanxi. Now Anlushan's army lost its rear supply and could only fight as a trapped beast!
In 757 AD, there was internal strife in Anlushan's army. Prince An Qingxu and eunuch Li Zhuer conspired to kill Anlushan. Guo Ziyi took the opportunity to send troops, defeated the enemy at Tongguan, and took advantage of the situation to regain Chang'an. From then on, the rebels were defeated and An Qingxu fled to Luoyang. Wherever An Qingxu fled, Guo Ziyi chased him! Not long after, Guo Ziyi regained Luoyang. An Qingxu had no choice but to lead everyone to flee to Xiangzhou. This time, An Qingxu's journey to becoming emperor was coming to an end! Guo Ziyi mobilized soldiers and horses from all over the world and surrounded Xiangzhou! According to Guo Ziyi's thoughts, everything went smoothly, and finally the success was achieved this time! Completely dress up the rebels! The eight-year counterinsurgency finally succeeded, and Guo Ziyi established immortal achievements! The official title was written in the letter, and he was granted the title of King Fenyang.
