Chapter 553

"Duhu doesn't have to blame himself, it is not a soldier's crime to be invincible, Meng Shezhao and Wu Sizang colluded with each other, and the two sides even went out with a nest, adding up to more than 500,000 soldiers and horses. If you add the people and servants used by Mengshezhao in this war, I am afraid that there will be no less than 8.9 million people. With only the 180,000 elite strength of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone, and it will be difficult to resist. This point, not only is it protected, but I am afraid it will be the same for other people. ”

Wang Yance came immediately and comforted him on the side.

Wang Yan's time to lead the troops was not shorter than that of Xian Yu Zhongtong, and even longer in some respects. However, unlike others, Wang Yan does not report any position on Xian Yu Zhongtong, nor does he have any prejudices. Although the Battle of Erhai, including the defeat of the Annam Protector Army, Xian Yu Zhongtong could not escape the blame.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that Mengshezhao and Wusizang are "powerful".

The southwest of the empire has been at ease for decades, and everyone has been at peace. No one thought that Meng Shezhao and Wu Sizang would have such great courage to completely tear their faces with Datang. Moreover, as soon as the war began, it was to mobilize the strength of the whole country, and there was no intention of leaving a place to turn around.

In the face of Ge Luofeng's breakthrough and large-scale attack, not to mention Xian Yu Zhongtong, if he changes to someone else, I am afraid that he will suffer a defeat nine times out of ten.

With an army of 180,000 against 500,000 foreign confederate troops, the weak defeated the strong, perhaps a certain general in other armies had this kind of talent, but Xian Yu Zhongtong obviously did not have it. And it is also impractical to make such a request to all generals in the army.

This is the reason why Wang Yan did not report his prejudices against Xian Yu Zhongtong.

"The general doesn't need to comfort me, how can I not know what kind of mistakes and responsibilities I shouldered in this battle? 100,000 soldiers and soldiers rarely take the blame. After this battle, if you are lucky enough to survive, Xian Yu will go to Shengjing and ask the Son of Heaven for his guilt!"

Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, the others didn't react yet, but Wang Chong's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but look back at Xian Yu Zhongtong in surprise.

In his previous life, without his participation, the 180,000 Annan Protectors were all wiped out, and only Xian Yu Zhongtong survived. For such a big thing, after the fact, Yu Zhongtong actually thought about pretending to be wrong, tried his best to shirk responsibility, and tried his best to beautify his performance in the war, which was deeply shameful.

Wang Chong heard a lot of such words, and naturally his impression of Xian Yu Zhongtong would not be too good.

But today's translation in front of the Han Wu Kaidian Monument is rarely heard by Zhongtong from the bottom of his heart, and Wang Chong can hear it, which is by no means a fake. Compared with Xian Yu Zhongtong's performance back then, it is simply a cloud of mud. This is the style of a real general.

"Was it my intervention that changed the course of events, or was there something else that happened in the war that I didn't understand?"

Wang Chong glanced at Xian Yu Zhongtong, and his heart fluctuated one after another.

Xian Yu Zhongtong was scolded by thousands of people back then, if he was really as responsible and courageous as he is today, it would not be like this. Wang Chong's mind was up and down, and in the dark, Wang Chong remembered Zhang Qiu and Qiong who were far away in Beijing, and in an instant, a little spiritual light flashed, and Wang Chong seemed to understand something.

"It seems that everything is still on Zhang Qiu and Qiong!"

Wang Chong suddenly sighed in his heart, and he already understood the crux of the problem.

"The country is easy to change, but the temperament is difficult to change. With Xian Yu Zhongtong's temperament, there will never be such a big change. But if Zhang Qiu and Qiong intervene, then everything will be completely different. Xian Yu Zhongtong's temperament is not bad, and Zhang Qiu and Qiong are not far behind. But Zhang Qiu and Qiong's study and desire for power far exceed anyone else's. Such a big thing happened in the southwest, and Zhang was both resentful and hateful, and it was impossible for him to sit still. Even if Xian Yu Zhongtong wants to admit his guilt, he is afraid that Zhang Qiu and Qiong will never allow it. If he intervenes, Xian Yu Zhongtong will not dare to resist, and it is only an overnight matter to change his mind. ”

and Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Wang Chong has actually only seen a few faces. Even in the previous life, this kind of imperial general was not something that Wang Chong's level could easily touch. Most of the time, Wang Chong can only learn about this "Imperial Tiger" in the southwest through other people's mouths.

However, just a few times have already left Wang Chong with an unprecedented deep impression on the empire's predecessor, Annan Dadu.

No one has ever been able to do this before.

Whether it was funding Yang Zhao before, instigating him to enter the Beijing Division and contacting Concubine Taizhen, or later, when the old Shangshu of the Ministry of War said goodbye, he insisted on going his own way, set foot in the Beijing Division, looking for a way, and sought to replace the position of the old Shangshu of the Ministry of War......

In this tiger of the Southwest Empire, who is the "Mandate of Heaven", his desire for power has always been consistent and has never changed.

The decisiveness and courage he derived from this is enough to impress anyone.

"In the Battle of the Southwest, many people's attention was focused on Xian Yu Zhongtong and the 180,000 elites of the Imperial Protectorate, while ignoring Zhang Qiu and Qiong, who were far away in Beijing. Xian Yu Zhongtong is Zhang Qiu and Qiong's subordinate, and he is also single-handed. If Zhang Qiu and Qiong made a request, he would definitely not be able to refuse. ”

Wang Chong said secretly in his heart.

"And,...... That's really changed!"

The 180,000 army was annihilated, and Xian Yu Zhongtong, as the commander-in-chief, could not escape the blame, and there was only one way to die. So he wants to pretend to be wrong and shirk responsibility, because if he doesn't shirk, he will die. But now, there are still 80,000 of the 180,000 Annan protectors, and although Xian Yu Zhongtong is to blame, it will not end up in death after all.

As long as it is not this step, Xian Yu Zhongtong is obviously still the coach he knows.

"The times make people!"

Wang Chong sighed in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, or other tempers.

Xian Yu Zhongtong is a straight and upright man, and he is also a general of the Tang Dynasty, and his nature is not bad. As long as there is still a chance, Wang Chong doesn't want this soldier of the empire to evolve into the national thief who everyone scolded in his previous life.

"Drive!"

Wang Chong took a deep breath, grabbed the horse's belly, and jumped away from the Han Wukai Dian Monument and jumped in the direction of the foot of the mountain. There, Wang Chong had already seen several acquaintances waiting early.

"Hahaha, Childe, I've finally waited for you!"

Before Wang Chong could start, a thin old man in Tsing Yi in his fifties, with bright eyes, suddenly took a step, stretched out his thin hands, and greeted Wang Chong with a happy and excited face:

"I knew that if you could succeed, you would succeed!"

The old man smiled, and the excitement in his heart overflowed.

"Hahaha, Zhang Shouzhi, Mr. Zhang, you really didn't disappoint me this time,...... Keeping you waiting!"

Wang Chong turned over, jumped down from the white hoof, and held Zhang Shouzhi's hands tightly.

The thin old man in front of him with slightly white temples and wearing green clothes is naturally the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, and at the same time the real builder of the Lion City, Zhang Shouzhi, the biggest hero of this Southwest War. Although the breakthrough of the entire Annan Capital Protector Army only started during yesterday's heavy rain, the breakthrough of Zhang Shouzhi and others was actually much earlier than this.

"Hehe, the defeat of the Southwest, I was really worried for a long time. Later, when I heard that Childe was going south, I immediately knew that there was absolutely no problem in the southwest of the empire. Childe, it's great to meet you!"

Zhang Shouzhi shook Wang Chong's hand vigorously and said excitedly, that kind of strength was like pinning all his hopes in front of Wang Chong.

Wang Chong didn't say much, just opened his hands and gave him a grateful hug warmly.

For more than a year, compared with the appearance he saw when he was in Beijing, the old man in front of him was obviously thinner, and the whole person looked much haggard. In more than a year, on the vast plain, from nothing to a majestic steel city that can accommodate more than 100,000 people and withstand the attack of more than 500,000 troops......

Such a feat, the project is vast, if it weren't for the old man in front of him, if it was someone else, no one would be able to complete it.

For the old man in front of him, Wang Chong respects him from the bottom of his heart. This time, 80,000 of the 180,000 Annan protectors survived, and Zhang Shouzhi's contribution was great, which no one can deny!

"Thank you!"

Wang Chong said with emotion.

"Childe is serious, in fact, what they should really thank is you!"

Zhang Shouzhi raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.

From the contempt at the beginning of the first sight, to the shock when the city was built, and then to the current admiration...... , only Zhang Shouzhi understands what he has experienced. In the Lion City, he enjoyed the worship and vigilance of the heroes of the entire Annan Protector Army, but only Zhang Shouzhi understood that Wang Chong was the hero behind all this.

When he was still hesitating about the construction of the city, and could only see the art of engineering, Wang Chong saw the fate of the entire southwest, as well as the lives of the entire empire's 180,000 troops and nearly one million Li people. And in the end, everything proves Wang Chong's original foresight.

Even Zhang Shouzhi really understood what he was doing at the last moment, when more than 100,000 Annan guards flocked into this city!

If you live in a temple, you will worry about its king, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its people!

In this young man who is still young and young between his eyebrows, Zhang Shouzhi feels the purest patriotic feelings for the world. To Middle Earth and Datang, this young man seemed to have the most burning and intense emotion in his heart,—— a fiery emotion that Zhang Shouzhi had never felt in anyone else.

"Hehe, Elder Zhang doesn't need to say it anymore. The two of us forged all of this together! I would never have been able to accomplish it without you. ”

Wang Chong said.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but neither said anything more. There are some things that both of them know well, and they don't have to say anything more.

The appearance of the "Lion City" was a miracle, and its appearance changed the fate of the entire southwest. No one can deny this, now or in the future. What's more, in the midst of the crisis, he also firmly connected the two people.

An invisible bond connects Wang Chong and Zhang Shouzhi.

Wang Chong's harvest is Zhang Shouzhi's eternal trust, and Zhang Shouzhi also gains Wang Chong's eternal trust!
