Chapter 744: General Zheng Chang

Also on the tenth day of the fourth month, when the Qin people were still struggling with whether to send troops to the Tang State, the Wei army had already taken two-thirds of its eastern territory after breaking into the Tang State.

The Tang State is much larger than the Xiao State, and its land is the size of a county of the Wei State, because it has to defend the Wei State in recent years, and its domestic army has been expanded to 60,000.

Although the number of troops has increased by a cup, its already low combat effectiveness has declined even more, so that the Wei army almost did not exert much strength, and took several cities in the Tang State.

But its large number of troops is not without benefits, for example, like now, the Wei army has to take these cities one by one.

But no matter how much the strength of the Tang Kingdom increases, it is only 60,000...... After Wei Wuji succeeded to the throne and made a major adjustment to the army, the strength of the Xiguan battalion alone now reached 80,000.

At present, the people in charge of attacking the Tang State are the Xiguan battalions under the jurisdiction of Zheng Chang, and they only used 50,000 troops.

Standing on the tower of Chicheng, the city of Tang Guo, which had been captured, Zheng Chang listened carefully to the report of his subordinates, and his eyes showed a look of thought.

"General, our army suffered no more than 100 casualties in this battle, and we took this city...... The combat strength of this Tang army is really poor! Beside Zheng Chang, a general said with a smile.

Zheng Chang nodded, and said: "Tang Guo was originally a small country, and it was laborious to raise those 30,000 troops at the beginning, but now it is not enough to expand the army, what kind of army is it?" ”

That's right, in Zheng Chang's eyes, the 60,000 troops of the Tang State were just peasants with weapons, and they couldn't even eat...... What kind of combat power can it have!

Then, the general said: "General, you have been ordered to conquer the Tang Kingdom, and now the war is profitable one after another, and when the class is in the future...... There will be a great reward for you! ”

This general can call Zheng Chang so light that his bones are a few taels!

Although Zheng Chang took the Xiguan camp at the beginning, he was not officially awarded the title of general, and now he is of course very proud of what he wants.

You must know that above the general is the general of the Zhuguo, and now he has restored the title of the king, if he is promoted to the general of the Zhuguo again, he will really be the best of the people, and it can be said that he will be glorious.

But to do this, Zheng Chang knows that he still has a long way to go!

Even if the current Tang State is solved, it will only sit firmly in the position of the general.

Zheng Chang knew very well in his heart that the monarch would be promoted to the position of a general, and if he could not take the Tang State, he was afraid that the position of the Xiguan camp would gradually be unstable.

Now that the monarch has sat firmly in the court, it is the time to rush to install his own lineage, and even Xu Anhong, who has worked hard for the monarch's succession, must not give way to this, Zheng Chang does not feel that he is more special.

Compared with Wu Mingyan's people, Zheng Chang felt that he was extremely lucky, at least he still had the opportunity to work hard, and those people were already dry bones in the grave.

Therefore, it is really important to stand in line, so he got on the right boat like Zheng Chang, and also restored his title of Chengyang Jun.

Thinking of those people in the clan in Wu'an who didn't cooperate at first, Zheng Chang still wanted to scold those people for being stupid at this time.

Who was the monarch then? It is Wu Yangjun who has mastered the national army and is respected as the god of war by the people! Who in the country could resist at that time?

Those people in the clan were conservative and stubborn, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, so they didn't force the monarch to kill on a large scale, and they only settled down after killing Wu'an's heads...... What are these people not stupid?

It's like he has no face and no skin, and once he makes a decision, he sits to the extreme, and directly kneels and licks the monarch...... Now he is sitting in the position of a general.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chang unconsciously sighed: "You are very lucky! ”

This is absolutely politically correct in the Wei State, and after Zheng Chang said this, several generals on one side echoed it one after another.

For these people, it was indeed a blessing to meet Wei Wuji, the monarch, otherwise how could they have the opportunity to sit in the position of general from a poor family.

Zheng Chang put away his reverie and said: "Everyone, now that our army has taken down several cities, the Tang army is now shrinking in its capital Jinyang, the next step is ...... I was going to take Jinyang directly! ”

Compared with other cities, Jinyang, as the capital of the Tang Kingdom, is definitely not so easy to fight, but at this time, no one stood up to oppose it.

On the one hand, the generals present did not take the Tang army seriously, and on the other hand, it was because the benefits of taking Jinyang were indeed huge.

Because Jinyang is located east of the tributaries of the Great River, this is also the reason why the Tang State was willing to rely on the Wei State in the first place, because their kingdom was under the deterrence of the Wei army.

If Jinyang is captured, the Tang State will exist in name only like the Chen State, and the eastern part of the Tang State taken by the Wei army will also be stabilized.

At the same time, the Wei army refused to defend Jinyang, and then took the tributaries of the big river as a natural danger, even in the face of the Qin State's troops, it would be invincible.

Therefore, it is imperative to attack Jinyang, and after Zheng Chang put forward this suggestion, the following generals came out one after another to agree.

Since no one has any objections, then the matter is settled!

Standing in the center of the main general, Zheng Chang looked west and said: "Garrison, taking the Tang Kingdom is the king's expectation for us, and it is also our military order!" ”

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty...... We must not live up to the high expectations of the king, take Jinyang, and capture the Tang Kingdom...... Win! Zheng Chang shouted passionately.

"Victory!" The generals shouted in unison.

Shouting slogans must be loud, otherwise it is disrespectful to the monarch, and no one can afford to be charged.

The generals are single-minded, the military heart is available, Zheng Chang is very satisfied!

Zheng Chang waved his hand and said, "Gentlemen, go back to the camp and wait for the general's order!" ”

After saluting Zheng Chang, the generals left one after another, leaving Zheng Chang alone on the city tower.

At this time, Zheng Chang's face gradually became solemn!

The next battle of Jinyang is the most critical, and the battle of the Tang Kingdom of Jinyang will be guaranteed, otherwise it will be useless to occupy more Tang cities.

And the obstacle to occupying and taking Jinyang is not the Tang army in Jinyang City, but the Qin people hiding behind what to do.

"If the Qin people rush to Jinyang City first, then things will be in trouble!" Zheng Chang said slowly.

…………

Zheng Chang was worried about the Qin army here, and now the Tang State Mansion, which was hiding in Jinyang City, was as panicked as a lost dog.

originally thought that with the back of the Qin State, the Tang State would have a support after the defection, but now he didn't even see the shadow of the Qin people.

So now some people are beginning to remember four years ago, when the Tang State had not betrayed the Wei State, and everything seemed very calm.

Although the exploitation of the Tang State by the Wei people was quite harsh at that time, it was only that the poor people at the bottom had a hard time, and the life of the Wei State Office was still nourishing.

The poor can't get by, but what does it matter to these nobles?

Therefore, many people in the public office began to complain about their own monarch, and it was he who made the decision to turn his back on Wei and get involved with the people of Qin.

But these people don't want to think about it, if it weren't for their desire for profit to move the monarch to turn their backs on the Wei State, in order to reduce the tribute to the Wei State and squander it for themselves, how could there be the immediate incident.

At this time, the crown of the monarch of Tang Guoguo was crooked and looked a little embarrassed, unlike the other people in the office who cowered and felt sorry for themselves in the city, but he came to the head of Jinyang City.

The monarch of Tang knew that Tang had no way out, and it was better to die vigorously than to wait for death, he was the monarch...... We should be with the same relatives as the country.

Of course, this monarch still has a trace of extravagant hope in his heart, that is, waiting for reinforcements from the Qin State, which is also the only hope of the Tang State.

On the side of the monarch, a military official suddenly stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty...... The scouts came to report, and the Wei army abandoned the occupied city and went straight to Jinyang! ”

Tang Guojun's body trembled, and he saw him turn around and ask, "Can there be news from the direction of Qin State?" ”

The military official was speechless for a while before he said, "Your Majesty...... On the Qin side, there is no return for the time being! ”

No return...... No return......

"Could it be that the heavens are going to reject me Tang Guosheji?" Tang Guojun shouted in his heart.
