When Tun Desire Valley heard the news, his face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood choked out directly.

Zhang Kang was also dumbfounded, a little at a loss.

This first step is very critical and very simple, Zhang Kang never thought that he would fail, and he was counting on a good start and a good start in his heart.

Who would have thought that the defeat would be so complete, that even his eldest son was killed in battle.

Zhang Kang is selfish, but the tiger is poisonous and does not eat children, Zhang Qingzong is brave and shrewd, which makes him happy, and he actually died in battle.

"Damn!" Zhang Kangtie's face was blue, and his hand pressed the case table in front of him, but he didn't know if it was in disrepair or because he was too strong, and the case table couldn't support it and collapsed.

The generals in the hall were all startled, and they all looked at Zhang Kang with some awe in their eyes.

Zhang Kang has an excellent reputation, and he treats people with courtesy regardless of his background or whether he is high or low, and he has made many friends among the officials of the DPRK and China, and even among the reckless rivers and lakes and the gangsters in the market. And he is bold, willing to fight for righteousness and squandering money, and his character design is also excellent. But only those who really know him know the ruthlessness of Zhang Kang's methods and his unscrupulous style to achieve his goals.

Eight years ago, Zhang Kang led 2,000 Qubu to the east, but he got lost on the way and got nothing. When he returned to the barracks, he passed through a village and killed all the hundreds of families in the village without saying a word. Abandon the old and young heads into the wilderness, and the rest of the heads will serve as their own battle exploits......

This kind of unconscionable thing is only one of the insignificant things that Zhang Kang has done. It's just that he is clever and no one notices.

Zhang Kang's eyes flashed with cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I want Changshan County chickens and dogs not to stay!" Li Guiren and Shi Siming, you took the first step and approached Changshan County, and the other generals prepared soldiers and horses, and an hour later, the whole army set out overnight. ”

All the civil and military officers and soldiers did not solemnly accept the order and retreated one after another.

It wasn't until only Zhang Kang, Tun Desire Valley, Yan Zhuang and the defeated soldiers were left in the main hall that Zhang Kang asked about the detailed situation: "What happened?" The garrison of Changshan County is a waste based on nepotism, and the soldiers in the county have never been tested in battle, so how can they be my son's opponents. ”

The soldier kowtowed and said: "The general has inquired, the Changshan County Guard is not the original one, it was replaced today, it is a newcomer named Guo Ziyi, he led the soldiers to ambush the major general......"

"Guo Ziyi!"

Zhang Kang read the name, his eyes split.

"We neglected one person!" Lust Valley had a wry smile on his face at this time.

Yan Zhuang also said: "Yes, we are all attracted by Pei Min's brilliance, we just think that without him, we have a chance of winning." Ignoring another auxiliary minister, Li Yi...... Li Yi's exploits are far less brilliant and terrifying than Pei Min's, but he is also a difficult opponent. It should have been him who took precautions against us in advance. ”

Tun Yugu gasped and said: "And this Guo Ziyi can't be underestimated, I don't believe it, he can set up an ambush to win the major general on the first day he comes, he must have come a long time ago." Deliberately concealed his identity and made us careless. It wasn't until we started an incident that we suddenly led our troops into battle. This man's intelligence and courage should not be underestimated. If Changshan County doesn't take it, we can't move an inch. It was necessary to recover Changshan before the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Army. ”

Zhang Kang is also extremely experienced in using soldiers, and naturally understands the importance of Changshan County, "Sir, don't worry, I will personally go out and not gnaw Changshan County down, Lao Tzu is not surnamed Zhang." ”

He said and left in a huff.

Tunyugu and Yan Zhuang watched Zhang Kang leave the hall and looked at each other, both looking at the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Originally, the chances of winning this forced uprising were not very great, but now that he is stuck in Changshan, the chance of victory is getting smaller and smaller.

Ten years of planning, just for today?

The valley of desire, solemn and solemn in the bottom of the heart is unwilling.

**********

Chang'an, Menxia Province!

"Beautiful!"

What Li Yi was holding in his hand was the battle report from Guo Ziyi.

Zhang Kang intended to take Changshan with lightning speed, but Guo Ziyi's skills were superior.

After Guo Ziyi arrived in Changshan, he did not immediately take over the position of county guard, but boldly went into Youzhou alone and infiltrated Fanyang to investigate the situation in Youzhou.

The abnormal movement of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, the sanctions imposed by Guo Ziyilian and Pei Min on Liaodong, and An Sishun's intelligence, concluded that Zhang Kang did have antipathy, and it was also expected that Changshan County would be the first strategic point.

After returning to Changshan, he still did not identify himself, and only had private contact with the original county guard.

boldly adopted the tactics of taking the initiative to attack and hid the ambush soldiers in Youzhou.

Zhang Qingzong thought that the soldiers were fast, but he was careless and got into Guo Ziyi's encirclement and lost his life.

After reading the battle report, Li Yi took another private letter, and the letter was also sent by Guo Ziyi.

took out the letter, and when he saw the content of the letter, Li Yi frowned slightly.

Guo Ziyi wrote a letter asking for help.

The letter expounded a very real problem, the soldiers of Changshan County themselves were too weak in military quality......

This was a common problem of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has always been dominated by the military, even during the period of Wu Zetian, when the military was weak, the hinterland of Hebei did not go through war: foreign enemies could not come in.

With the decline of the government military system, the Central Plains did not hear of war for another 120 years, and the strength and quality of the local garrisons were extremely low.

On the contrary, the combat effectiveness of the border army is particularly strong, and the contrast is stark.

Guo Ziyi's original plan was to completely annihilate all the enemies, but in the end it was found that the fighting qualities of the two sides were not at the same level.

Forcibly annihilating them is too great for their own losses. Not conducive to the next defensive ......

How good is Guo Ziyi's military strategy?

This battle is not over, and the next defensive battle is already being considered.

As a last resort, Guo Ziyi changed the beheading tactics he used to forcibly kill Zhang Qingzong and crush the enemy's fighting spirit.

With the strength that Changshan County now has, Guo Ziyi knows very well that he can only hold on for a while, and the follow-up reinforcements must arrive as soon as possible.

Li Yi stood up, poked his hand, and wrote a reply.

He was about to enter the court, but heard the news that Li Heng asked to see him.

Li Yi hesitated for a while, but still invited him in.

Although Li Yi doesn't like this loyal king very much, he is Li Longji's son after all, and he is Li Yan's trusted eldest brother.

"I've seen King Chung!"

Li Heng said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, I came here to ask Your Majesty about the war in the Northeast, and Your Majesty is very concerned about this." ”

Li Yi hesitated slightly, with Li Heng's status and status, he had no right to ask about military affairs, but he asked for Li Yan, the emperor, and he couldn't help but say, "Everything is still under control, Guo Ziyi has the talent of a general, and there is no problem in protecting Changshan County in the short term." A certain plan to personally lead the troops to support, the loyal king rest assured, a certain will enter the court to inform His Majesty. There is so-and-so, Zhang Kang is just a clown jumping off the beam, and he can't jump up. ”

Li Heng was well aware of the military strategy that his uncle had, and hurriedly said: "It's not appropriate, uncle must not forget the great trust of his father." Zhang Kang is a clown who jumps off the beam, and he is not worthy of his uncle's personal visit, so it is good to let Du Xiang and Wang Xiang go out together, and at that time, the military affairs of Gyeonggi were all in the hands of his uncle. This military priority can only be relieved in the hands of one's own family. ”
