Li Guangbi is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, resourceful, majestic and methodical in governing the army, good at winning by surprise, winning more with less, and Guo Ziyi is equally famous, known as "Li Guo".
After Li Guangbi captured An Siyi, one of the core members of An Lushan's rebellion, he did not slash him with a knife, but asked An Siyi, who had been on the battlefield for a long time. An Siyi analyzed the situation and made suggestions, and Li Guangbi recognized it after hearing it, and happily loosened the tie for An Siyi, and immediately moved the army into the city. During the Anshi Rebellion, which lasted for eight years, Li Guangbi commanded the army from beginning to end and made the first contribution to quelling the rebellion.

Jihai, to Changshan, Changshan regiment trained 3,000 soldiers to kill Hu soldiers, and surrendered with An Siyi. Guangbi said in his thoughts: "Do you know that you deserve to die? "No. Guangbi said: "You have been more Chen for a long time, and you regard me as a crowd, can you be the enemy of Siming?" What should I do now? Thou shalt be advisable, and thou shalt not be killed. Siyi said: "The doctor and the horse are tired from afar, and when they encounter a great enemy, they may not be easy; It is better to move the army into the city, prepare for the defense as early as possible, anticipate the victory or defeat, and then send troops.

Jihai (15th), Li Guangbi's troops went to Changshan, and the Changshan regiment trained 3,000 soldiers to kill the rebellious Hu soldiers, and captured An Siyi out of the city to surrender. Li Guangbi said to An Siyi: "Do you know that your sin deserves death? Ann Siyi did not speak. Li Guangbi said again: "You have been on the battlefield for a long time, see if these troops of mine can defeat Shi Siming?" What should I do now? If your plan is desirable, I will not kill you. An Siyi said: "Your soldiers and horses have come from afar, the soldiers are tired, and they suddenly clash with a strong enemy, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, it is better to lead the troops into the city, prepare in advance, first deploy for deployment, and then send troops." Although the rebels are elite, they are difficult to last, and if they lose, they will be discouraged, and they can be defeated at that time. Shi Siming is now in Raoyang, less than 200 miles away from here. A letter for help was sent to him last night, and it is estimated that the vanguard will arrive tomorrow morning, followed by a large army, so you must pay attention to it. Li Guangbi was very happy when he heard this, so he loosened his ties for An Siyi and immediately moved in.
