Chapter 456: Sudden Change
In the early morning, Yang Tong woke up naturally, Shui Tianji beside her was still asleep, and she didn't know what beautiful things she dreamed of, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curled. Or Yang Tong disturbed her good dream, and immediately hugged her like an octopus, Yang Tong smiled, gently broke away, and after losing her goal, Shui Tianji hugged the quilt.
Yang Tong shook his head, dressed neatly, the Luoyang offensive and defensive battle between Tang and Wei was fought day and night, the fight was extremely tragic, Tang and Wei suffered heavy casualties, as the main battlefield of Xicheng changed hands several times, and finally was recaptured by the Zheng army, Zheng Jun attrition is great, but full of resilience, although not as many fierce generals as in history, but it is quite stable, this may be Wang Shichong's implementation of the equal division of the field, won a certain amount of popular support, but according to the members of the black ice platform in the city sent an eagle letter, Wang Shichong based on the Jianghuai Army as the basis of the elite division, There are only about three or four thousand people left, and everyone is injured, it seems that Wang Shichong can't hold out for long.
To Yang Tong's surprise, Wang Shichong fought to this extent, and he didn't even surrender to Tang, and he didn't know what he was insisting on, did he really believe that he would save him?
What he didn't know was that Wang Shichong's relatives were almost killed by Li Tang, and the two had already reached the point where they could not coexist, Wang Shichong knew that even if they descended to the Tang Dynasty, the Li family and his son would not be able to spare the Wang family, so they simply fought to the end, even if they died, they would gnaw a piece of Li Tang's flesh fiercely. ruthless, Wang Shichong has never lacked it, otherwise, he would not have established himself as the emperor. In history, he and Li Tang have not yet reached the point of not sharing the sky, and they have fallen into the trap that Li Tang set for him to be a high-ranking official, and the family finally died at the hands of the so-called 'enemies', such as Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Du Fuwei, Xiao Mi, Wang Bo, Li Rail, Meng Haigong, and Xue Rengao also died unexplained after the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that Li Yuan is not a villain with the amount of people who can tolerate people.
In contrast, Yang Guang, who was smeared by the Li family, was much more generous, taking Houzhu Chen as an example, not only did he die in his own life, but many of his younger brothers and sons were hired by Yang Guangliangcai, and many people were arranged to serve as county guards and county commanders in various places, and Yang Guang's boldness and self-confidence were vividly reflected here.
In Yang Tong's view, either you will not allow the other party to surrender, crush the enemy leader into powder with strength, if you agree, you must implement your promise, after all, people are not your opponents in the heyday, and now the other party's minions are all lost, and under your surveillance, a frightened life, why bother to engage in that indiscriminate means?
Of course, Yang Tong will also see people make the right choice, such as Li Mi, Wang Shichong and other cunning real heroes, he will never surrender, and reckless characters like Du Fuwei, they are forced to rebel due to the situation, even if they become the head of one party's forces, but they are always easy to satisfy people in their bones, Yang Tong does not take it to heart at all, and accepts it is accepted.
Gently closing the door, Yang Tong began a day's morning exercise.
Tai Chi is indeed a good thing, not only can it boost strength, strengthen the flexibility of the body, but also have health benefits. When he looked at Taijiquan with the eyes of a martial artist, he realized the mystery of this set of boxing methods, and after more than a year of research and improvement by Sun Simiao, who was proficient in the way of health preservation, Taijiquan has become a compulsory course in the Tsinghua Academy, and even the women in the royal family are required to practice every day, after all, this set of boxing itself is easy to use, although they can't let them all become martial artists, but longevity is certain. Most women in ancient times were blushing, and in the final analysis, they lacked exercise.
Virtuous and virtuous, quiet and elegant penetrate into their souls, and they usually even pay attention to walking, and they can't talk about exercise at all. The human body is like a machine, the more you use it, the better it is, and it will naturally rust if you don't move for a long time. Taijiquan not only achieves the purpose of self-cultivation, cultivating sentiment, strengthening the body, and prolonging life, but also the key is that the posture is elegant and leisurely, which is consistent with the virtuous character of ancient women and is deeply favored.
Yin Mingyue consciously came to Yang Tong's side, followed Yang Tong to stretch his muscles and bones with Tai Chi, and then competed in knife skills.
Yang Tong's chances of fighting on the battlefield were almost non-existent, and his martial arts gradually tended to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and he worked hard to strengthen his training in dealing with assassinations.
After an hour, Yin Mingyue was already tired and his hands and feet were soft and sweaty, Yang Tong was also slightly sweaty on his forehead, Yang Tong glanced at her, compared to the past, she was a little more strong and mature charm, a pair of clear as water phoenix eyes with might, like a cold fairy.
Yang Tong smiled: "Let's eat together!" ”
"Whoa!" Yin Mingyue nodded, she didn't think she was an outsider.
Shui Tianji hasn't gotten up yet, and there are only two people to eat today.
"Holy Lord, Fang Shangshu and Ling Shangshu ask to see." In the dining room, a guard came in and said respectfully.
"Let them wait in the side hall!" Yang Tong said indifferently, Fang Xuanling and Ling Jing came here at this time, obviously not to have breakfast, I was afraid that there was something important to report, after Yang Tong drank the porridge in the bowl, he hurriedly got up and rushed to the side hall.
"Holy! General Luo defeated Li Xiaogong and easily recovered Xiangcheng County and Huayang. Seeing Yang Tong coming in a hurry, Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"So fast? When did it happen? When he heard the news, Yang Tong was obviously stunned, although he had high expectations for Luo Shixin, but from Luo Shixin's attack to beat Li Xiaogong to the present, it was not even five days, but this guy not only silently killed Li Xiaogong's 40,000 army, but also pocketed Xiangcheng and Huayang, according to this calculation, Luo Shixin has already eliminated the 100,000 army of the puppet Tang Dynasty, if this result and this record are not given the first credit, Yang Tong has a disturbed conscience.
"I received a flying eagle message from General Luo this morning, this is a battle report." Ling Jing also had a smile on his face, Luo Shixin quietly took Xiangcheng and Shuyang, which was equivalent to cutting off the claws of the pseudo-Tang Dongjin, as long as Yingchuan was taken again, even Li Mi lost the way north to Luoyang, and as long as Luoyang and Yingchuan were blocked, with Luo Shixin in the rear, Yang Tong could attack Li Shimin with peace of mind.
In order to prevent being intercepted, the Flying Eagle Transmission has been replaced with a cipher transmission, but when it is sent to Yang Tong, it is naturally the real information that has been translated.
Yang Tong took the information from Ling Jing's hand with great interest, and read it carefully, the content was recorded in great detail, and he raised his head for a long time before he said, "This guy is too risky!" ”
After Luo Shixin took down Li Xiaogong's army, none of the counties in the back were recovered, and Li Xiaogong was chased out of Wuchuan County, Shuyang.
In the eyes of others, this attack was a classic battle, but Yang Tong was a person who knew the soldiers, and he could see at a glance that the reason why Luo Shixin recovered the second county so quickly had too much luck, even if there was a little mistake, the best ending was a stalemate, and the worst result was that he was wrapped in dumplings, after all, he was lightly armed, and his arrows and dry food were very limited.
Fortunately, Luo Shixin still has a brain, and he knows that he will set up manpower in Luyang Guan, which is at the intersection of Xiangcheng and Huayang, otherwise he will have to be cut off by the pseudo-Tang County soldiers in nearby counties.
Ling Jing nodded, he didn't deny this, when he sorted out this battle report, he was also taken aback by Luo Shixin's bold actions, but fortunately, Qin Qiong helped him clean up the county soldiers in the back, and he was basically invincible.
"It's really ......" Yang Tong finally shook his head, although he knew that Luo Shixin was bold and daring to take risks, but now when he looked at the result, Yang Tong still felt a little heartbeat.
"General Luo likes to be small and big, and if he wins, it will be a big harvest, but if he loses, the results are often unbearable. Fang Xuanling smiled.
"Is there one?"
"What great battle in the Holy One wasn't like this?"
Yang Tong couldn't help but smile. In the most influential battles for his great cause, it is true that every sword is on the sidelines, and the small is broad, otherwise how can there be today's glory? Shaking his head, he said: "Now that my Great Sui has become a great trend, there is no need to take this risk." ”
Now, if Yang Tong has the need, he can raise an army of one million at any time in addition to the regular army, which is still the lowest data counted by the Ministry of War. And as long as he is given time, he can also pull foreign mercenaries who submit to him from the three eastern/Turkic tribes and the Western Regions, and these people are very willing to obtain the status of the common people of the Great Sui through their military exploits.
In the case of no shortage of military rations, Yang Tong naturally didn't want Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, Pei Renji, these 'ministers from the dragon' to run to take risks, although this battle won the two counties completely at a very small price, but Luo Shixin definitely couldn't afford the loss, this guy is not only the general of the Great Sui, but also Yang Tong's indispensable friend.
"Although General Luo is a little risky, but he must also consider that there is Qin Qiong behind, so he let go of his hands and feet to chase after him, if he is really stupid and bold, he will not leave soldiers and horses in Luyang Pass, and the saint does not have to worry too much."
"That's just as well."
"General Luo has annihilated Li Xiaogong's main force, so that our Great Sui troops will go straight to Luoyang, which is equivalent to pinning down Li Shentong's 80,000 troops outside Luoyang, Li Yuan is worried about the instability of Xiangyang, I am afraid that he will not transfer troops to support Luoyang, we don't have to worry about Jingxiang Tang Army at all, we can calmly clean up Li Shimin."
"It's useless to say anything now, but it's all victorious." Yang Tong smiled and said: "The task of confronting the Tang army will be handed over to Shu Bao, let Luo Shixin come back to assist, and as for Yingchuan, it will be handed over to Zuo Tiancheng and Wang Wei under Shu Bao to recover." ”
Ling Jing nodded and said, "Holy Lord, the situation has changed because of General Luo!" The minister thinks that the time is ripe, should our side also march to Luoyang? ”
"Reconsideration!" Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said: "If Li Shimin finds out and withdraws from Luoyang in advance, we will lose a good opportunity to annihilate the power of the puppet Tang Dynasty." ”
"Let's get started!" Yang Tong nodded: "Immediately the flying eagle will pass the book to Yang Fu, and let him cross south immediately; In addition, let Shangluo Xue Wanjun send elites to infiltrate Hongnong and cut off Li Shimin's grain route; Before Li Shimin reacts, eat his soldiers and horses! ”
Since Li Xiaogong's troops have been annihilated, Yang Tong's layout is equal to half of the success, and there is no need to continue to drag on the battle of Luoyang. As long as all Henan counties, including Luoyang, fall into his hands, even if the princes of the world form an alliance, Yang Tong will have enough confidence to face it alone, not to mention, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, and Wang Xiaohu are under the pressure of Pei Xingyan, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have time to form an alliance with Li Yuan?
The general trend of the world has developed so far, and it has become clearer. Whether it is Wang Shichong, or Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Wang Xiaohu, they can't escape the fate of elimination, the weak eat the strong, and it has been the same since ancient times.
