Dawei City.

The gateway to the north of the Tang Dynasty, although the city is small, its strategic location is extremely important.

In the past, the garrison of Dawei City was the army under the command of Zhou Ding, this fierce general who was called the twin stars of the Tang Dynasty military with Meng Zhulu, led his troops to defend Tuwei City for decades, although the people here were not rich, but absolutely safe.

Because no one dared to hit the attention of Dawei City.

Later, because His Majesty the Emperor's suspicion of Zhou Ding reached its peak, and because of the instigation of some people on the side, Li Hong made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life and eradicated Zhou Ding!

Li Hong was jealous of Zhou Ding's influence in the military, and some personal grievances finally contributed to Li Hong's decision.

The emperor naturally did not leave any mercy.

Zhou Ding didn't even know that he was calculated by the emperor until he died, and he thought that everything was a conspiracy of another country.

If it weren't for Zhou Fei standing up at a critical time and winning with the help of the system, plus he had just become the youngest apprentice of the master at that time, the emperor didn't dare to persecute too hard, and he would have regretted it a little after doing it, so he finally borrowed the donkey from the slope and reserved the last bit of fire for the Zhou family's army.

It is also the most elite unit of the Zhou Army, the Flying Tiger Army!

Since then, the Flying Tiger Army has been stationed in Dawei City and continues to guard the northern gate for Datang!

These Flying Tiger soldiers are not without grievances, but they know that the past is the past, and there is not much point in caring about the past. If the generals live, I don't want them to continue to live in hatred!

Datang is everyone's Datang, and guarding Datang is guarding one's own home!

Anyone who dares to invade the Tang Dynasty, the members of the Flying Tiger Army will play with them!

After Lin Gang completed his daily routine patrol of the city, he returned to his Chinese army tent.

From the time Guo Zhenying went to Yan Kingdom, Lin Gang entered a state of not disarming, he knew that the war could start at any time, but he couldn't judge what scale this war would develop.

Is it just that Yan Guo is ready to take advantage of the death of the emperor and the death of the master to get some benefits from the Tang Dynasty in order to wash away the shame of the past, or is the Six Kingdoms ready to take this opportunity to completely overthrow the Tang Dynasty!

Lin Gang always thinks of the worst in everything he does, this is his personal habit.

Because once this happens, no matter how bad it is, it will not surprise him.

But this time, Lin Gang desperately hoped that he was wrong.

Back in the big tent, the spies who had been released before also came to report the situation.

"Report, the Wei army appeared in the northwest direction. ”

"Report, the army of Chu appeared in the southwest. ”

"Reported, the Yan army and the steppe cavalry are attacking from due north, and according to the speed of their march, they will arrive at Tuwei City in less than three days. ”

"Newspaper, the latest intelligence, the northeast direction appeared Zhao State army. The number is about 10,000. ”

After listening to the spies' report, Lin Gang let out a long breath, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's really a flank from all sides, Chu Yan and Zhao Wei, have all the four countries arrived?" But what do I think, it's not quite right." ”

The vice-captain asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

Lin Gang stood up and walked in front of the sand table, this sand table was taught to them by Zhou Fei when he was in Dawei City, because it was clear and clear, it quickly swept the entire Tang Dynasty military, if anyone still didn't know how to use the sand table, they would be looked down upon by their colleagues.

"You see, here we are, the Yan State is directly ahead, and the Wei State borders on our country in a small part, so I can understand the arrival of their troops. But there is no connection between Zhao and Chu and our territory. If they want to attack Dawei, they must use the territory of another country. ”

"Let an army swagger over from his own land, the emperor of this country is either in his brain or the whole thing is in trouble. ”

The vice-captain swallowed his saliva and said cautiously, "Captain, what do you want to explain?"

Lin Gang looked at him: "You have already thought of it, and you still want to ask me." ”

Xia Guan felt that it was too crazy. The deputy captain said cautiously: "And the State of Chu and the State of Zhao, why did they choose to attack the Dawei City? If they want to attack my Datang, there are obviously other cities to choose from, and the army does not have to travel a long distance to attack such a long distance, just for a small Tuwa City, it is simply inexplicable." ”

Lin Gang said: "This happens to be their smart place, you are looking at the boundary between Chu and Zhao, if they want to attack my Great Tang, these three cities should be the first target." But think about it, who is the supreme commander of these three cities?"

"Marshal Meng. The vice-captain swallowed and said.

Lin Gang nodded: "That's right, Marshal Meng is sitting over there, and it is impossible for them to attack from that direction unless they have a good brain." And General Guo, the supreme commander of Dawei City, has been martyred, and the living force has been almost wiped out. In their eyes, Dawei City is basically an empty city. After capturing Tuwa City, they can drive straight over the big cliff and directly attack the two cities of our Tang Haifeng and Guanning. With these two cities as the rear base camp, the grain, grass, soldiers and horses will be continuously transported to my Datang territory, and such a long-term future can be decided in one battle, if I am the supreme commander of the enemy coalition army, I will also make this decision. ”

The vice captain thought about it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Lin Gang looked at him and smiled: "What's wrong?"

The vice-captain immediately straightened his waist and replied loudly: "There is no fear of this word in the dictionary of the Flying Tiger Army! Captain, don't look down on people." ”

"Then your face is pale, don't tell me that you have an accidental typhoid fever. Lin Gang said jokingly.

"I just thought of my mother. The vice-captain's voice fell, "No one has given her a pension." ”

Lin Gang patted the deputy captain on the shoulder and said, "If Datang is still there, my aunt will definitely have someone to support her, but if Datang dies, all Tang people will be homeless and will not be able to spend their old age in peace." ”

The vice-captain nodded: "I know the captain." ”

Lin Gang's gaze fell on the sand table again, "Do you know, what I'm most worried about right now is there?"

The vice-captain looked at the sand table, fell into serious thought, and replied after a moment, "South." ”

Lin Gang nodded: "Lord Tao is a civil official, and the southern border will face the Qi country, I have communicated with the general a long time ago, among the seven countries of the Great Wilderness, in addition to my Datang, the strongest should actually be the Qi country." It's just that Qi Guo is too low-key, and he has been in Taoguang for a long time. If the Qi State is also involved in this war, I am afraid that the southern border will become the second Tang border to be conquered after Dawei City. ”

The adjutant's gaze fell on the sand table for a long time, and suddenly pointed to the east, "Who is stationed in the east now?"

Lin Gang said: "Su Chunjun, General Su, is also a general of the queen's family. I heard that the emperor was originally going to arrange Bao Xiyuan and Lu Tiansuo to the east, but now His Majesty doesn't know what the considerations are, so he left these two people behind, and instead assigned Su Chunjun and General Su to the east. ”

The adjutant thought for a while and said, "General Su is a civil general, is it really safe to guard the eastern border?"

"It is precisely because General Su is a civilian general that the decision to send him to the east is a safe one. Our majesty is not entirely a straw bale. Lin Gang said.

"What do you mean, Captain?" asked the adjutant.

"Do you know what the biggest trouble in the East is?" Lin Gang asked rhetorically.

The adjutant shook his head.

Lin Gang said: "I usually ask you to pay more attention to this kind of thing, but you only know how to go to the Qinglou to mingle with your old friend." ”

The adjutant smiled innocently.

"The biggest difficulty in the east is not the Qin State, but the six major surnames. Lin Gang said: "The six surnames of Guanzhong County have always been my Tang Dynasty's confidants, and because the six surnames helped a lot when the Tang Dynasty was just founded, the ancestors promised them a lot of things, so the later emperors wanted to deal with the six surnames, and they would seem to be constrained." And the six surnames also seized this opportunity and worked hard to develop. Even in a certain period, more than half of the officials in the court came from Guanzhong County, and it was difficult to say that the Tang Dynasty at that time was the Tang Dynasty of the Li family or the Tang Dynasty with the six surnames of Guanzhong. ”

Later, the court also realized that Guanzhong County was too powerful, so it also broke out several times to exterminate the six surnames, which lasted for hundreds of years, and almost made the six surnames directly turn against the Tang Dynasty. In the end, it was the master who stepped forward to suppress the matter, and the royal family also used the name of the master to lay off many officials with six surnames, which barely maintained the balance of power in the court. ”

Later, the first emperor ascended the throne, and the suppression of the six surnames reached a peak. The first emperor promoted Jiangnan Shizi to fight against the six surnames, plus the children of the academy, the officials with the six surnames basically had no say in the court. On the contrary, in the harem, he still has a strong right to speak. The noble concubine came from the six surnames, and now the descendants of the six surnames have become the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and they have been dormant for many years and finally received the best results. ”

The adjutant was dumbfounded: "According to the captain, the six surnames should cooperate with the emperor's actions." Why did the captain say that I think the six surnames are going to be reversed?"

"They won't oppose it, but they will ask for more power. Lin Gang said: "Our emperor is too thirsty for power, so he will never let go of the power in his hands, once the requirements of the six surnames cannot be met in the court, what do you think they will do?"

The adjutant's face turned pale instantly: "Open the pass...... It's Aomine Gorge. ”

Lin Gang let out a long sigh.

"Okay, these things have nothing to do with me and us, I'm just thinking about it, who knows what will happen?" Lin Gang shrugged: "Go, notify the kitchen, take out all the inventory tonight, set up ten pots on the street, and let all the soldiers come to eat." When we're full, let's go play with those bastards outside the city!"

The adjutant saluted Lin Gang: "Yes, captain!"

After the adjutant left, Lin Gang came to the city wall alone, looked at the dense coalition forces outside the city, and spat fiercely.

"Although Tuwa City can't be defended, you also want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, dream!"
