With the consent of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Yang Guozhong quickly used his prime minister's rights to quickly recruit an army of 10,000 people, distributed weapons and armor, and asked his confidant Du Ganyun to lead the army to Bashang as a general.

Tongguan is not far from Chang'an City, how could Yang Guozhong's obvious behavior be hidden from Geshuhan?

Geshuhan is a very straightforward person and feels very uncomfortable.

OK, I am fighting against the enemy in front, and you Yang Guozhong are fighting against me in the back? I still think that there are few soldiers in Tongguan. You, Yang Guozhong, have 13,000 troops in just half a month. It is not accurate to use it to defend against the enemy, but to guard against me.

I just don’t know if Your Majesty knows the meaning of Yang Guozhong’s actions. If he knows, it would be really disappointing.

The more Ge Shu Han thought about it, the more angry he became. No matter what, he could not remain indifferent to Yang Guozhong's actions. He would even give Yang Guozhong a warning!

On that day, Geshuhan submitted a letter to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

He bluntly stated that he would include the 10,000 troops from Bashang into Tongguan's defense so that he, the marshal, could be a unified leader and better prevent the anti-army.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received a letter from Geshuhan. He did not know about the conflict between Yang Guozhong and Geshuhan, and he was relying on Geshuhan, so it was really difficult to refuse Geshuhan's request. Moreover, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also knew that if Tongguan could not be defended, even if the 10,000 troops were guarding Bashang, it would have no effect. It would be better to give Geshuhan unified command, so Emperor Xuanzong of Tang agreed.

Geshuhan felt relieved immediately after getting permission from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. His Majesty did not seem to know Yang Guozhong's little thoughts, at least he was aimed at his Geshuhan.

On the second day, Geshuhan summoned Du Ganyun to Tongguan to discuss matters.

The Bashang Army has been included in Geshuhan's command, so Du Ganyun naturally cannot clearly disobey Geshuhan's summoning.

However, Du Ganyun also relied on his being Yang Guozhong's confidant and did not regard himself as an ordinary general. Although he did go to Tongguan to meet Geshuhan, he did not go to Tongguan immediately because he did not receive the military order, which made him one day late when he arrived in Tongguan! The deputy general beside Geshuhan scolded Du Ganyun, but Du Ganyun looked dismissive.

Ge Shuhan suddenly became angry. He was very annoyed by Yang Guozhong's actions and was always angry. Now that Du Ganyun is doing this again, what do you want to do? Relying on being Yang Guozhong's confidant, he would not take him as the coach seriously!

"Come on, Du Ganyun does not obey military orders and neglects the commander, affects the morale of the army, and should be executed!" Ge Shuhan directly ordered Du Ganyun to be beheaded.

Several soldiers immediately rushed towards Du Ganyun and instantly controlled Du Ganyun.

"Ge Shuhan, what are you going to do? I am the Prime Minister!" Du Ganyun was panicked and moved Yang Guozhong as a talisman as soon as he opened his mouth.

It would be fine if Yang Guozhong didn't move out. When Yang Guozhong was moved out, Geshu Han was even more determined to behead Du Ganyun, otherwise how could he be the majesty of the head coach? How could he warn Yang Guozhong?

It was not until he was dragged to the court that Du Ganyun was finally afraid and begged for mercy to Geshuhan. Unfortunately, Geshuhan was indifferent and no one else helped Du Ganyun plead for mercy. Du Ganyun was cut off his neck by a knife and axeman and died tragically in Tongguan!

After killing Du Ganyun, Geshuhan submitted a letter to explain to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang didn't know the twists and turns, and thought that Du Ganyun was neglecting his military orders and would kill him if he was killed by Geshuhan. Anyway, he didn't know how important the general was.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang understood Geshuhan, but Yang Guozhong could not understand it. He only knew that Geshuhan was demonstrating to him!

"Ge Shuhan's old man!" Yang Guozhong was even more frightened than before, and returned to the scene when he had nightmares every day when he saw himself killed by Ge Shuhan. He was always scared to death in the middle of the night, so that the haze in Yang Guozhong's heart accumulates more and more.

———————

On the other hand, An Qingxu led the main force of the anti-army to attack Tongguan three times, but each time he lost his troops and generals.

Everyone knows the dangers of Tongguan. As long as the Tang army in Tongguan cannot stand up, no matter how powerful the general is, he will not be able to conquer Tongguan. However, knowing this, he cannot stop An Lushan's anger from his heart and needs to vent.

As the commander-in-chief, An Qingxu naturally became the target of An Lushan's venting, and was scolded by An Lushan for being tragic.

Since he was scared by Yan Gaoqing when he died that day, An Lushan has become more irritable than before, and his body has become significantly weaker.

Although Hebei wiped out most of it, there was Yan Zhenqing.

Zhou Wanqing died in the Hedong area, Gao Xiuyan was defeated, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi entered Hedong, and even Taiyuan City was lost. The situation was very bad.

There is no progress in Nanyang and Huainan either.

In Tongguan, the generals were unable to advance repeatedly, and he felt that his health was deteriorating.

Everything made An Lushan so angry that he always wanted to kill people.

Even An Lushan's son, An Qingxu was full of fear of An Lushan now.

"You can stay in Luoyang for the time being. From now on, Cui Ganyou will be responsible for the head coach!" An Lushan removed the position of An Qingxu's head coach and Cui Ganyou will be responsible for breaking Tongguan.

The most capable generals around An Lushan are Cui Ganyou, Shi Siming and Cai Xide.

After Cui Ganyou was in charge of Shanzhou, he knew very well that there was no possibility of a strong attack to capture Tongguan.

After some discussion with his subordinates, Cui Ganyou established a strategy to annihilate the enemy by luring the enemy out of Tongguan, and then started the deployment.

In order to lure the Tang army in Tongguan out, Cui Ganyou created all kinds of illusions. He hid all the real elite soldiers, leaving only a few thousand old and weak soldiers to show off and spread rumors everywhere that the main force of the anti-army had been transferred to Huainan and was preparing to capture Huainan and Jiangnan. There were only a few thousand anti-army left by Shaanxi County, and they lacked training and were vulnerable, etc.

Cui Ganyou knew very well that as a veteran of the battle formation, such clumsy rumors would not deceive Geshuhan, but Cui Ganyou was not in a hurry. Originally, he was not told about the rumors like this for Geshuhan, but for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guozhong in Chang'an City, the emperor and officials without military knowledge.

Although Geshuhan is the marshal of the Tang army in Tongguan, he is just a general after all. As long as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guozhong believe the rumors, make a decision, and order Geshuhan to send troops, can Geshuhan still be able to twist his arms?

Cui Ganyou has a very exquisite control over the situation and people's hearts, and this plan is really clever.

As Cui Ganyou expected, when he heard the rumors, Ge Shuhan only smiled disdainfully and did not believe in Lingbao at all. There were only a few thousand anti-army soldiers left in Shaanxi County. He instantly realized that this was Cui Ganyou's trick.

Ge Shuhan felt that Cui Ganyou was still "too young", and he would not be fooled with such a clumsy plan.
