Guo Ziyi was imprisoned in his early years, and Li Bai met him by chance. He recognized that this man was extremely brave and should be a general. So I told Xuanzong about it, and Xuanzong hoped to forgive Guo Ziyi's sin. At that time, Li Bai was a celebrity around Xuanzong, and Xuanzong was very happy, so Guo Ziyi was pardoned and re-entered the official career.
Later, Wang Yong accepted Li Bai as his assistant. Later, Wang Yong rebelled and Li Bai was put in prison. He wrote to North Korea for help, and Guo Ziyi exchanged his official title for Li Bai's freedom. It is a legend that they know each other. Guo Ziyi was a famous general and politician in the Tang Dynasty. His life is full of outstanding achievements and legends. In the second year of Zhide, he recovered Chang 'an and Luoyang with Prince Li Shu; In the first year of Baoying, there was a mutiny in Taiyuan and Jiangzhou, and Guo Ziyi was ordered to send troops to Jiangzhou to put down the rebellion.
In the first year of Guangde, the Tang army clashed with the imperial court, and the external defense was neglected, which led to the invasion of Chang 'an by the Tubo army, and Guo Ziyi led the troops to defend. Guo Ziyi's fame made Tubo lose confidence. When he learned that the Guo Ziyi army was coming, the Tubo army fled. Later, Pugu Huai 'en rebelled and led Tubo and Uighur into the city. Guo Ziyi persuaded the Uighur army, and the alliance between Datang and Uighur broke the Tubo.
Guo Ziyi's military career is admirable, but he is not arrogant. He is generous, selfless, patriotic, and has been praised by the world all his life.
