Guo Ziyi joined the army in his early years, and his rank was the highest. He accumulated merits to Jiuyuan, and he was never reused.
After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Guo Ziyi was appointed as our envoy, led an army of diligent kings, recovered Hebei and Hedong, and worshipped the Ministry of War ministers and Shu Tong officials. In the second year of Zhide (757), Guo Ziyi and Li Chu, King of Guangping, recovered Chang 'an in Xijing and East Luo Yang, and added Stuart as a contribution to seal lord protector. In the third year of Zhide (758), it contained a secretariat order. In the fourth year of Zhide (759), he was responsible for the defeat of Xiangzhou, was relieved of military power, and became an idle official. In the first year of Baoying (762), Taiyuan and Jiangzhou mutinied, and Guo Ziyi was the king of Fenyang. He left Jiangzhou and was soon relieved of military power.
In the first year of Guangde (763), Pugu Huai 'en colluded with Tubo to invade Uighur, and Chang 'an fell. Guo Ziyi was reactivated, served as deputy marshal in Shanhaiguan, and regained Chang 'an again. In 765 AD, Tubo and Uighur troops invaded again, and Guo Ziyi said that he would retreat to Uighur in Jingyang to defeat Tubo and stabilize Guanzhong.
In the 14th year of Dali (779), he was honored as "father-worshipper" and was promoted to Qiu and Zhongshuling. In the second year of Jianzhong (78 1), Guo Ziyi died, and was posthumously named as a Taishi and posthumous title Zhongwu.
Early behavior
Guo Ziyi took part in martial arts in his early years and made up the long history of Zuo Wei with "different grades". He was tired of moving to Khan Duhu, the deputy commander of Khufu, and the military ambassador of Zhenyuan. In 749 (the eighth year of Tianbao), Guo Ziyi became the ambassador of Hengsai Army. In the 13th year of Tianbao (754), he served as the ambassador of Tiande Army and the satrap of Jiuyuan.
Pingding Anshi
Conquer the rebels
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Guo Ziyi was appointed as the satrap of Lingwu County and our ambassador to the North, leading troops to crusade against An Lushan. Soon, Guo Ziyi recovered Jingbian (now Youyu County, Shaanxi Province) and wiped out the rebels.
A bust portrait of Guo Ziyi.
Zhou defeated the rebel generals in Hequ, recovered Yunzhong (now Datong, Shanxi Province) and Mayi (now Shuoxian County, Shanxi Province), opened Dongguoguan (now southeast of Daixian County, Shanxi Province), and made the imperial history an envoy. In 756 (to Deyuanzai), the rebels broke through Changshan County (now Zhengding, Hebei Province) and occupied the whole territory of Hebei Province. Soon, Li Guangbi recovered Changshan, and Guo Ziyi also went out of Jingxingguan to defeat Shi Siming and pacify Gaocheng with Li Guangbi. After that, he attacked Zhao county in the south (now Zhao county in Hebei province), killed the satrap Guo appointed by the rebel army and returned to Changshan.
When Guo Ziyi returned to Changshan, Shi Siming gathered troops to follow him. Guo Ziyi ordered Xiaoqi to take turns to challenge the rebels and defeat them in Shahe. An Lushan heard that Hebei was defeated and sent reinforcements. Guo Ziyi defeated Shi Siming first, then defeated rebel reinforcements in Jiashan, and Shi Siming fled back to Boling (now Dingzhou City, Hebei Province). Under the military power of Guo Ziyi, all counties in Hebei killed the rebel defenders to meet the imperial army. I was about to March north for john young when I got the news that "Geshuhan was defeated, the son of heaven entered Shu, and the prince ascended the throne as Lingwu", so I went with Li Guangbi to lead the troops.
When Guo Ziyi arrived, he was appointed by Tang Suzong as Minister of Ministry of War, Secretary of China Academy of Sciences and Secretary of China Academy of Sciences, and also served as our time in the north. Soon, Tang Suzong sent troops south, and the Prime Minister Fang Fang was defeated by Chen Tao. At this time, most of Tang Jun's losses can only be based on the North Army. Later, the rebel Ashina politely led five thousand cavalry to lure Jiufu, a meandering river, to attack. Guo Ziyi and Geluozhi, the leader of Uighur, pursued the victory, captured tens of thousands of people and finally settled the meander.
Take back two capitals.
In the second year of Zhide (757), Guo Ziyi led an army to attack Tongguan, and the rebel Cui Ganyou surrendered to Pujin (now Zhou Pu, Shaanxi). Guo Ziyi attacked Zhou Pu because four people, including Zhao Fu, the former magistrate of Yongle, were working in the city. As a result, the rebels were defeated and Cui Ganyou fled to Anyi. Since then, Guo Ziyi defeated the rebel An Shouzhong, recovered Yongfengcang and opened the road from Tongguan to Shanzhou.
Soon, An Lushan was killed by his son An Qingxu. Su Zong named Guo Ziyi as a common, and he was the deputy marshal of Hedong in Shanhaiguan Pass, and ordered his troops to return to Fengxiang (now Fengxiang in Shaanxi Province). Guo Ziyi led his troops to the west, lost the battle with the rebel An Shouzhong in Qingqu (now west of Xi 'an), retreated to Wudu (now northwest of Wudu, Shaanxi), and was punished after being recruited, and was demoted to Zuo Assistant Minister of Shangshu.
Since then, Guo Ziyi, as the lieutenant of Zhong Jun, went to recover Chang 'an with Li Chu, the king of Guangping, and stationed in the north of Ji Xiang Temple (now southwest of Chang 'an County). In the fierce battle between the two armies, Uighur soldiers attacked from behind the rebels, and all the rebels were defeated. Rebel Zhang Tongru abandoned the city and fled to Shaanxi. Tang Jun recovered Chang 'an in World War I, and after three days of renovation, Li Chu continued its crusade.
An Qingxu ordered Zhuang Yan to dispatch 100,000 soldiers and horses to Shanzhou to help Zhang Tongru and set up a stronghold in Xindian (now southwest of Sanmenxia City, Henan Province). Guo Ziyi led the army to attack. Although the first battle was unfavorable, it was still attacked by the Uighur army.

, defeated the rebels. Zhuang Yan fled back to Luoyang, followed An Qingxu to Xiangzhou (now Anyang, Henan), and Guo Ziyi was able to recover Luoyang, the eastern capital.
At this time, most of the lost land in Hedong, Hexi and Henan has been recovered, and Guo Ziyi was named lord protector for his contribution to Stuart. Soon, when Guo Ziyi entered the DPRK, Su Zong ordered people to meet him in Pakistan and comforted him, saying, "The reconstruction of the country is your credit." Since then, Guo Ziyi has returned to Luoyang, trying to get a clean slate in the north.
Defeat Xiangzhou
In the first year of Gan Yuan (758), Guo Ziyi defeated the rebels by the Yellow River, captured the rebel general An Shouzhong alive and imprisoned him in the capital. Su Zong ordered 100 officials to meet him at Changle Post Station and personally waited at Wang Chunlou, making him an official in China. Soon, Su Zong ordered nine envoys of our army to join forces to crusade against An Qingxu. Because Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are both founding fathers, it is difficult for them to belong to the same family. Only eunuch Yu Chaoen is the ambassador of Guan Junrong, but there is no marshal.
Guo Ziyi led his troops across the Yellow River from Xingyuan and besieged Weixian County (now Jixian County, Henan Province). An Qingxu divided the military forces into three roads and went to the rescue. Guo Ziyi first ambushed 3,000 archers on the camp wall, saying, "As soon as our army retreats, the rebels will take the opportunity to attack the camp, and you will shout for archery." "Soon after the war between the two armies, Guo Ziyi pretended to be defeated and retreated to the base. The ambush immediately boarded the foundation wall and the arrow was shot out. The rebels had to retreat. Guo Ziyi returned to the army to pursue, An Qingxu fled in defeat, and his brother An Qinghe was captured. After Guo Ziyi conquered Weizhou, he defeated the rebels in grief and besieged Xiangzhou. An Qingxu was besieged in the city for several months, unable to break through, so he had to send someone to Shi Siming for help.
Shi Siming came from Weizhou to help, Li Guangbi and others led the former army to fight the rebels in the south of Yexian County, but Guo Ziyi of the latter army was not ready yet. Halfway through the battle, the wind was blowing hard, the sky was dark, the trees were uprooted, and there was no one across the street. Both armies were defeated. Without a unified command, Tang Jun fled to his headquarters, and Guo Ziyi surrendered to Heyang (now south of Mengxian County, Henan Province). Soon, Su Zong appointed Guo Ziyi as the commander-in-chief of Du Dong, Dongji, Shannan East Road and Yuzhou.
Guan Junrong Yu Chaoen has always been jealous of Guo Ziyi, and took the opportunity to blame Guo Ziyi for Xiangzhou's defeat, slandering Su Zong. Soon, Su Zong recalled to Beijing, appointed Zhao as the marshal of the world's military forces, and Li Guangbi as the deputy commander-in-chief, leading the expedition.
Portrait of Guo Ziyi
Enjoy our time to the fullest. Although Guo Ziyi was deprived of military power, he still put the overall situation first and was loyal to the court.
Regain military power
Shi Siming captured Luoyang again, and Xirong also took the opportunity to invade. Su Zong appointed Guo Ziyi as our two ambassadors, Yongning and Yanfang, but he remained in the capital. At the request of officials, Su Zongfang ordered Guo Ziyi to leave the town.
In the first year of Shangyuan (760), Su Zong appointed Guo Ziyi as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and ordered him to lead Wu Ying and Weiyuan to attack Fanyang, which was finally destroyed by Yu Chaoen. In 762 (the first year of Baoying), Deng Jingshan, the envoy of Li Guozhen and Hedong, was stabbed to death in the river. The imperial court was afraid of the joint rebellion of the two armies, so it sent Guo Ziyi as a festival camp in Shuofang, Zhonghe, Beiting, Liu Yizeqin and other states, and served as deputy marshal of Xingping and Dingguo, and entered Guo Ziyi in Jiangzhou.
At that time, Su Zong was seriously ill and did not see officials. Guo Ziyi pleaded, "When I accept the appointment, I will die somewhere else. I can't die when I see your majesty. " Su Zong ordered people to enter the bedroom, saying, "Please do everything on the east side of the river." Give him royal horses and other things. After Guo Ziyi arrived in Zhi Zhi, dozens of people, including Wang Yuanzhen, the leader of the Rebel Army, and Xin Yunjing, our envoy to the New Hedong, also executed the Rebel Army, and the local generals were very scared.
Be repeatedly slandered
After Tang Daizong acceded to the throne, the eunuch Cheng thought he was powerful, fearing that the veteran would be difficult to surrender, and alienated and framed him many times. He was removed from the post of deputy marshal and served as the ambassador of Su Mausoleum to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb. Guo Ziyi presented all more than 1000 letters from Su Zong to Dai Zong to show his loyalty. After reading it, Dai Zong comforted Guo Ziyi and said, "I'm so ashamed that I've brought trouble to the official. Don't worry from now on. "
At this point, Shi Chaoyi still occupied Luoyang, and Dai Zhong wanted to send Guo Ziyi and Wang Yong Shili to lead the army eastward. Due to the slander of Yu Chaoen and Cheng, Dai Zong finally gave up the plan. In the first year of Guangde (763), Liang Chongyi rebelled in Xiangzhou, and Puguhuai led Uighur and Tubo to invade Hexi in Fenzhou, captured Jingzhou and invaded Fengtian (now Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province) and Wudu. Dai Zong appointed Guo Ziyi as deputy marshal in Shanhaiguan pass, guarding Xianyang.
Return to Chang 'an again.
Guo Ziyi had just arrived in Xianyang, and the enemy had crossed the Wei River and marched eastward along Nanshan. The emperor fled to Shanzhou (now Shanxian County, Henan Province). Guo Ziyi to Shangzhou (Shaanxi Shangzhou), collected thousands of skirmishers, and sent Zhang Zhijie led Wu Chongfu,
Statue of Guo Ziyi
Quanxu, the eldest grandson, camped in Hangongdui, drumming loudly during the day and lighting many fires at night to confuse the enemy.
Guang Luqing Yin Zhongqing led Lantian soldiers through the swimming water. Tubo didn't know the truth and thought Guo Ziyi was coming, so he was very scared. Shooting students sent Wang Fu into the city to gather hundreds of teenagers, and at night they beat drums and shouted: "Tang Jun is coming!" The Tubo army was frightened and fled. After the war, Guo Ziyi was appointed as a native of Chang 'an.
Since Dai Zong fled the East in confusion, hundreds of officials have accused Cheng and impeached him many times. Cheng was very scared and persuaded Dai Zong to make Luoyang his capital. Dai zhong agreed. Hearing this, Guo Ziyi stepped forward to remonstrate and put forward countermeasures. Dai Zong read the letter and said to his ministers, "Guo Ziyi is really a loyal minister. I have decided to go back to Chang 'an. When Dai Zong returned to Beijing, he comforted Guo Ziyi and said, "I invited you too late. He also sent Guo Ziyi an iron coupon and hung the portrait on the Lingyange. "。
Resist Tubo
In the second year of Guangde (764), Pugu Huai 'en rebelled, and Dai Zong was appointed deputy marshal of Hedong, observing our time in the river, and Yin in the river was in charge. He also served as the governor of Lingzhou, the governor of Chanyu Town, and the ambassador of Shuofang. Soon, Huai En, the son of Pu Gu, was killed by Zhang in Yuci, and the whole army surrendered. Buguhuai abandoned his mother and fled to Lingzhou. In September, Dai Zong was appointed as Qiu, acting as the viceroy of North Road, Yongning, Jingyuan, Hexi Tong, Tubo and Shuofang, and resigned from Qiu's appointment.
In the same year, Pugu Wynn lured Tubo, Uighur and Tangut to invade the Tang Dynasty. Dai Zong ordered Guo Ziyi to station troops in Fengtian, and asked him how to defend against the enemy. Guo Ziyi replied, "Although he is strong and brave, he is unpopular. And the soldiers are all my former subordinates. Won't they have the heart to attack me? " Soon, Uighur and Tibetan troops advanced to Fengtian. When the generals called for an attack, Guo Ziyi said, "The enemy's infiltration into our territory is conducive to a quick decision. His subordinates have long owed me a favor. If I don't attack them, they will naturally change their minds. Dare to talk about fighting! " And stick to the camp to defend the enemy, the enemy really retreated.
In the first year of Yongtai (765), Guo Ziyi camped on Henan Road and left Zhenhe River. Pugu Huai 'en lobbied Tubo, Uighur, Tangut, Tugu Hun and other countries, assembled 300,000 troops, plundered Jingzhou, Yizhou and Fengxiang, and invaded Liquan (now north of Shaanxi Liquan) and Fengtian. Dai Zong ordered Li to station troops at Weiqiao, Yunyang, Ma Yi and Linqiao, Luo Fengxian and Li Riyue to station troops at Fengxiang, Li Baoyu to station troops at Fengxiang, Zhou to station troops at Tongzhou, Du Mian to station troops, and Guo Ziyi to station troops at Jingyang.
When Guo Ziyi arrived in Jingyang, the enemy had surrounded the city. Guo Ziyi ordered Li Guochen, Goldman Sachs and Wei Chuyu. On both sides, he rode two thousand people in and out of the array. Uighur thought that Guo Ziyi was dead and Daizong was dead, so they joined forces with the Tibetan army to invade. Now that I hear that Guo Ziyi is still alive, I know that I have been taken in by Pu Huhuai. Guo Ziyi rode alone to see the leader of Uighur, putting the sense of honor first, which coincided with Puguhuai's sudden death, and Uighur promised to withdraw. Seeing that Guo Ziyi was connected with Uighur, the Tibetan army became suspicious and retreated overnight. Guo Ziyi sent Bai Yuanguang to pursue the Uighur army, followed by his own army, crushing Tubo in the west of Lingtai (now Jingchuan, Gansu) and beheading 50,000 people.
In the first year of Dali (766), Zhou rebelled in Huazhou and was ordered to lead an army to crusade. When the generals in Tongzhou and Iowa heard that they were sending troops, they killed Zhou and sent his head to the court. In the second year of Dali (767), Tubo invaded Jingzhou, and Guo Ziyi was ordered to move the capital to Jingyang. Guo Ziyi attacked Lingzhou, defeated Tubo and beheaded twenty thousand people. In the third year of Dali (768), Guo Ziyi returned to the river. Soon, Tubo invaded Lingwu again, and Guo Ziyi led 50,000 soldiers and horses to station in Fengtian, and Bai Yuanguang defeated Tubo.
On the grounds that "Tubo invaded frequently and Ma Yi was hard to resist", Tang Daizong transferred Ma Yi as my ambassador to Jingyuan and appointed Guo Ziyi as my ambassador to Ningqing, staying in Yizhou.
Old age life
In the ninth year of Dali (774), Guo Ziyi entered Korea and appeared before the emperor in Yan Ying Hall. He cried when he talked about the power of Tubo. Soon, Guo Ziyi went to the table again and begged for bones, but he didn't get permission.
In the 14th year of Dali (779), he succeeded to the throne and was transferred back to the imperial court, where he served as Qiu, secretary-general and imperial envoy, and was given the title of "respecting the father", adding 2,000 households to the food market. In addition, Guo Ziyi's ambassador and deputy marshal were all removed.
In the second year of Jianzhong (78 1), Guo Ziyi was seriously ill, and Tang Dezong ordered Shu Wang Yi Li to visit the sick. Soon, Guo Ziyi died at the age of eighty-five. He was posthumously given the surname, posthumous title Zhongwu, instead of the ancestral court, and was placed with the tomb. Dezong abandoned the five-day pilgrimage, ordered his ministers to mourn and went to Anfumen for a funeral. In violation of etiquette, he raised the grave by ten feet.
