Chapter 285: Gambling

But by the time Tang Lang brought people to the inside of the Royal Academy, the building had already been empty, Dongfang Shun and Zhao Huahan had disappeared, and after removing the few remaining Li Feng guards, all the civilians imprisoned here were released, and only a small number of people had been put into corpse Gu, and the result was generally satisfactory.

"What are you going to do next?" Tang Lang, who hadn't had time to catch his breath, discussed follow-up countermeasures with Hu Hefeng and Zhai Wu in the palace hall.

"I ......" Tang Lang looked at the two of them with some hesitation, although the Tianqing army in the imperial city is currently superior in numbers, but its combat power is far inferior to Zuo Xiaowei, and there are still a large number of Li Feng's remaining troops on the outside, and wanting to keep the imperial city with the strength in his hands alone is tantamount to the danger of exhaustion, and he can't help but hesitate a little.

"Tang Lang, Tianlan's declaration of war on Dark Flame is definitely not to help Tianqing restore the country, but to merge Tianqing's territory into its jurisdiction and become Tianlan's sixteenth county - Tianqing County, if you make outstanding contributions, and then have the help of Boss Cha, maybe you can win the post of county guard!" Hu Hefeng saw that he was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but persuade.

Although he had expected this in his heart, he still felt unacceptable when he suddenly broke it, and Tang Lang asked blankly: "If you drive Dark Yan out of Tianqing, can't you let the Filipino succeed to the throne and become a vassal state of Tianlan again?"

"How can you have such a naïve idea!" Zhai Wu sneered: "Zhao Feiyu has nothing convincing at all except for the identity of a down-and-out Tianqing royal family, how can He De control Tianqing?"

Tang Lang was extremely irritable when he heard this, he had always dreamed of helping Zhao Feiyu recover his identity and regain control of the entire Tianqing, and everything he did was constantly developing his strength, but his strength was placed between the two empires of Dark Flame and Tianlan, which was no different from ants, and in the end it was just empty joy.

"Lao Zhai, it's too early to say this! We haven't gained a firm foothold in Tianqing, Li Feng has planted a heel fight here, but the other four major legions are all ready to move, let's talk about how to keep the results in front of us first!" Hu Hefeng saw Tang Lang's face full of frustration, and quickly changed the topic.

Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, Tang Lang put aside many distracting thoughts, and the huge Tianqing map hanging on the council hall marked the movements of the Dark Flame Army that had been discovered before, and took the initiative to say: "Jiangyun Prefecture, where the imperial city is located, is relatively close to the side of Tianlan, and the rest of the five Tianqing states are under the control of Li Feng, and they will fight back at any time, and they will lose if they defend it for a long time!"

"Yang Yongzhi has already sent a capable general to inform another 10,000 Tianqing troops to return to defense, plus Zuo Xiaowei and the reserves, the manpower is enough, but the armament is lacking, if Li Feng's remaining more than 10,000 people come to attack at the same time, there will be more than one luck!" Hu Hefeng had no confidence in the combat strength of the Tianqing army.

Zhai Wu's thoughts are as unconventional as ever: "We don't have to defend one place at all, reorganize the 20,000 Tianqing army, and select 2,000 elites to be incorporated into the reserve, so that we will have 5,000 people, and we can face the Li Feng army in any place, and use our flexible and mobile advantages to annihilate the Li Feng defenders one by one!"

"Then what about the rest of the Tianqing soldiers and the Imperial City? If the Li Feng Army is not fooled, but all assembles towards the Imperial City, Yang Yongzhi and the people in the city will definitely end up in misery! Absolutely not!" Tang Lang found out that Zhai Wu's plan was to treat the Tianqing Army and the Imperial City as bait and sacrifice, and flatly refused.

"Ci is not in charge of the army! There must always be sacrifices in war, and it is imperative to pay the smallest price in exchange for a greater victory!" Zhai Wu sternly insisted.

Tang Lang carefully studied the map for a while, and put forward a more daring idea: "How about this? Select 3,000 elites from the 20,000 Tianqing army, gather 5,000 elite soldiers together with the reserves, and hand over the imperial city to Yang Yongzhi and the remaining Tianqing army to defend, and we will cooperate outside, so that the attacking Li Feng army can not concentrate on attacking the city." ”

"Then how are you going to arrange Zuo Xiaowei?" Zhai Wuding looked at him and asked.

Tang Lang replied with a lightning gaze: "Zuo Xiaowei's task is very critical, one is to escort the captured Li Fengjun back to Tianlan to guard it, and the other is to firmly occupy Duobao Villa as a stronghold, and at the same time send me and Yang Yongzhi grain, grass and armaments!"

"Are you going to let Zuo Xiaowei be your grain and grass soldier?" Zhai Wu laughed as if he heard a joke: "For the sake of my own obsession, I am ready to take my men to death, I originally thought that you would be able to achieve a meritorious deed, but you are also a mediocre person! I will definitely not participate in this kind of strategy with no chance of winning, you have to insist, it's a big deal to hand over this dilapidated imperial city to you, and I will take the entire Zuo Xiaowei to withdraw to Tianlan!"

After some conversation, the quarrel broke up, Hu Hefeng still did not give up, and comforted Tang Lang: "Lao Zhai, he is too purposeful, there is no malice, and Tianqing has already existed in name only, why insist on this! Once Tianlan and Dark Flame officially start a war, the entire Hairuo Continent will be involved in the war, and Tianqing's background will not be able to sustain it at all!"

"Brother Hu, I know that you and Zhai Baihu have good intentions, but I can't watch my compatriots die in the war, I must do what I can, at least facing the Lifeng Legion in front of me, it's not a dead end, I want to take a look!"

"Okay! You are doing it yourself!" Hu Hefeng saw that Tang Lang was resolute, and he no longer persuaded him, so he left in a reckless manner.

Tang Lang made up his mind, his mind was no longer at a loss, and he quickly thought about many details, on the one hand, he arranged for people to go to Zong Bo and Gu Yuxia to report the news, so that they could transfer all the manpower of the entire Duobao Chamber of Commerce to the imperial city, and do everything possible to increase the ability to defend the city, on the other hand, he sent people to find Yang Yongzhi to screen the elite.

"What? are you going to do this?" Yang Yongzhi didn't expect Tang Lang to plan like this at all, and suddenly became furious: "Do you want my brothers to be buried in the imperial city?"

"How come! I want to mobilize all the manpower to the Imperial City to prepare for a decisive battle with Li Feng, this is our first step to recover Tianqing! With the help of Tianlan and Dark Flame, we have a chance to revive Tianqing!" Tang Lang said categorically.

Seeing that the other party's face slowed down, Tang Lang continued: "I also plan to take the risk of letting Filipino Yu also return to the Imperial City, and use her identity to call on all parts of Tianqing, there will always be someone to respond, and we can drag Li Feng in the Imperial City and be unable to move, thus disrupting the entire deployment of Dark Flame!"

"With just our manpower, you dare to plan such a big event, aren't you crazy?" Yang Yongzhi argued with a red face.

"At the moment, Tianqing only has this strength, if you don't take the risk of gambling, there is no chance at all!" Tang Lang said.

Yang Yongzhi gasped heavily in his chest for a few times, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay! These days are like walking corpses, so I will accompany you, a madman, to go crazy! You can rest assured, if you want to open the gate of the imperial city, you must step on my corpse to pass!"

"It's not that serious! There are more battles to be fought in the future, and we can't die at the foot of the imperial city in vain!" Tang Lang said confidently.

At the same time, Hu Hefeng and Zhai Wu were also discussing in private.

"We really leave Tang Lang behind, they don't care, although they are superior in numbers, they are far inferior to Li Feng in terms of cultivation and armament, and fighting between the two sides is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!"

Hu Hefeng still wanted to persuade the other party to stay, but Zhai Wu didn't have the slightest intention of helping: "Hefeng, although you have a good personal relationship with that kid, what we are discussing now is a national policy, and there is no reason to use the life and future of the Xuanjia Army to help him." If he wants to achieve hegemony, he must rely on his own strength!"

"Besides......" Zhai Wu continued: "Isn't he planning to move all the remaining people of Duobao Villa to the Imperial City? Even if the city is defeated in the end, Gu Yuxia and those people can save Tang Lang and other important people, so let him buy a lesson!"

"Lesson? This lesson is a bit costly, if it is defeated, it will sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the imperial city!" Hu Hefeng was a little unbearable.

If the superior himself makes an unwise decision, it will affect countless Li people, and without a bloody lesson, how can he remember his mistakes and how can he grow!" Zhai Wu said in a gloomy tone.

Hu Hefeng has been friends with him for many years, and when he heard the meaning of the other party's words, he smiled faintly: "So, you are very optimistic about this kid! It's really not easy to get into your old Zhai's eyes, and the way you love your juniors is also very unique, and ordinary people are afraid that they will not be blessed!"

"It's not optimistic, at most, he has some potential! The troubled times are coming, if you want to protect yourself, you have to work harder!" Zhai Wu sighed a little.

Hu Hefeng raised his eyebrows: "What, do you know something?"

"I don't know, but I just deduce some clues from the current situation in front of me, the mainland will be in chaos every hundred years, and the calculation time is almost fast!" Zhai Wu looked up from the window, the sky was overcast in the distance, and it was almost a storm......

Tang Lang and Yang Yongzhi moved quickly, picking out more than 1,000 elites from the existing Tianqing army, Yang Yongzhi also ordered the repair of the military camp and city wall, and many civilians also came to help, and the imperial city was full of vitality.

Zhai Wu did not delay, preparing to escort the captured Li Fengjun back to Tianlan, before leaving, Tang Lang ordered people to remove all the clothes and ordnance of these captives, and handed them over to the Tianqing elite to change equipment, and if necessary, they could also act as Li Fengjun.

As Tanma continued to send back news, Tang Lang also knew the movement of the battle situation: the previous 10,000 Tianqing troops were withdrawing at full speed, and they would arrive in one day at most, and the Li Feng army stationed in various parts of Tianqing learned the news of Shen Tujie's defeat, and they had already assembled under the leadership of the two Wei generals, leaving them with little time left!

Tang Lang frowned and looked at the map, there were still several city walls in the imperial city that had not been repaired, and it would take at least four or five days, if there was no city to rely on, it would be impossible to resist the tiger and wolf warriors of the strong front.

"We have to delay their attack! What should I do?" Tang Lang looked at the map and fell into deep thought.
