According to the meaning of Zhao Ziliang's words, he did not trust the ministers of the DPRK and China, worried that they would leak military aircraft, and at the same time did not allow them to participate in the deployment of the overall military strategy.

Immediately, someone stood up and angrily reprimanded Zhao Ziliang: "Captain Zhao, Captain Zhao, although you are now a captain, you can't leave me and other ministers of the court to decide military affairs with Your Majesty, right?" When did my Datang reach the point where the ministers of the imperial court were not allowed to participate in military affairs? Although Your Majesty has appointed you to be solely responsible for the affairs of the Eastern Crusade, he is not letting you control all the soldiers and horses in the world, and you are obviously monopolizing military power by doing so! ”

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Just handle your political affairs well, our generals have not interfered in political affairs, why do you civilian officials always want to meddle in military affairs?" It's not that I'm looking for someone to bully you, do you know military affairs? Do you know how to fight? Think you can command thousands of troops to fight after reading a few military books? I don't know how to pretend to understand, and I have to point fingers, people like you can only mislead the country if they stay in the court! ”

"You" The courtier was angry, and saluted Xuanzong and cried: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been working hard for the court for more than 30 years, but now he is said to be a person who has misled the country, and the old minister has no shame to stay in this court anymore, and the old minister will ask Your Majesty to resign and beg for bones!" ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't wait for Xuanzong to react, so he said, "Do your best? Hehe, I'm not afraid of being laughed out of my big teeth by everyone! I think it's been a corpse vegetarian meal for 30 years! ”

"You??" The old official's face turned purple with anger, his body staggered and almost fell, but fortunately, someone was there to support him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Xuanzong knew that he couldn't help but speak, "Okay, Zhao Qing is also a good intention, there are indeed many people in this court, and there is no need to know too much about the Qing family who has nothing to do with military affairs, but I still trust the Qing family!" ”

Speaking of this, Xuanzong said to Zhao Ziliang: "Zhao Qing, although the military affairs are important, but you can't keep the courtiers out, now my Tang Dynasty is an eventful autumn, and the Qing family should be the same enemy, and the efforts to make it together, I look at it like this, this time let all the Qing families listen to it, and the next time we discuss important military affairs, only the relevant generals of the military and a few prime ministers will participate, what do you think?" ”

Xuanzong has played a round, and Zhao Ziliang can't help but buy this face, so he said: "Since Your Majesty has said so, then Weichen is here to introduce the current specific strategic gaffe to Your Majesty and the ministers, and ask Your Majesty to order it to be brought to the map!" ”

"Accurate!" Xuanzong waved his hand at Gao Lishi as he spoke, and Gao Lishi immediately ordered someone to bring a huge picture of Kanyu.

Zhao Ziliang walked to the front of Kanyutu, pointed to a large area between the land of the river and the eastern surrender city with a long stick and said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, please look here, this is the defense area of Guo Ziyi, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, because the Mobei Army returned to the rule of the imperial court in time anyway, under the leadership of Xue Song, the deputy envoy of the Mobei Army, 12,000 Mobei Army elite cavalry captured the Great Wall pass leading to Fanyang in Mobei more than 20 days ago, and the troops came to Fanyang City, so that Guo Ziyi's pressure to the north is completely gone, he can concentrate his forces to fight with Gao Xiuyan's troops, although Gao Xiuyan's troops are fierce, but the weakness is that there are not many soldiers and horses, and the defense is more than enough and the offensive force is insufficient, at present, he has withdrawn from the eastern surrender city and returned to the clouds, Guo Ziyi is accumulating strength to advance to the east, so our army has a strategic defense in the northern front battlefield to an active strategic offensive."

"Look at the Mobei Army again, at the beginning of November, Shi Siming and Cai Xide returned to Fan Yang and fought several times with the Mobei Army Xue Song, both sides did not take advantage, Xue Song in view of the fact that the army is far away from Mobei City, the supply is difficult, and Shi Siming and Cai Xide have an absolute advantage in strength, so they took the initiative to retreat to the pass outside the pass and held the Great Wall Pass, and at the same time shot a partial division to capture the Shanhaiguan Pass, thus cutting off the connection between Lu Long and Fan Yang, Xue Song took the right step, in the army is too small, and there is no infantry to attack the city, Unable to annihilate Shi Siming's main force in one fell swoop, he took the initiative to retreat outside the pass, which can not only preserve the vital force, but also occupy an important pass, which can threaten Fan Yang at any time, so that Shi Siming and Cai Xide cannot go south to attack Hedong with all their might, so from the current point of view, the north is worry-free! ”

"Let's look at Hedong again, after Shi Siming and Cai Xide withdrew from Taiyuan to aid Fanyang, Li Guangbi ordered Ma Lan to quickly follow the pursuit, all the way to recover the lost territory, and went straight to the boundary of Changshan, Hebei, basically restoring the original situation, but now Changshan has a heavy army of rebels, and Li Guangbi's troops are not much, and he cannot take the initiative to attack Changshan for the time being! Our army in Hedong and the rebels in Hebei are temporarily in a stage of strategic stalemate! ”

"On the front line of Tongguan, the main army of our Eastern Expedition is currently stepping up infantry drills and building siege equipment, but now the weather is getting colder, heavy snow is falling, and heavy snow on the road is blocking the road, which is not conducive to marching operations, and the rebels occupy the town but it is conducive to defense, and the day is not in our army, so our army must wait for the spring of next year, and the weather will be warmer before launching an attack!"

"The current situation is unfavorable to us is in the southwest of Henan and the east of Henan, Shannan Jiedu made Lu Jiong lead the army to retreat to Nanyang has been besieged by the rebel Wu Lingxun and Bi Sichen for more than half a year, according to the latest military information, Nanyang City is about to run out of food, Lu Jiong's army in the city daily ration of food to eat, just boil the bow and arrow on the cowhide, tendons to eat, rice has been sold for 50,000 yuan per bucket, a mouse sold for 400 yuan, starving people one by one. The defenders of the city can only eat the flesh of the dead to survive! Lu Jiongjun is about to run out of it."

Speaking of which, Zhao Ziliang stopped, and the ministers only felt a chill coming, eating dead human flesh? They've only heard of it, but they've never seen it, let alone tried it for themselves.

After a long time, Xuanzong settled down and asked, "What does Zhao Qing think should be done about Nanyang?" Should Lu Jiong continue to defend to the death, or let him lead the army to break through, and if he broke through, where would he retreat? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Weichen heard that Wei Zhongxi, the Taishou of Xiangyang, had sent his younger brother Wei Mengtao to lead troops to reinforce Lu Jiong with grain and grass, but he encountered rebels in the area of Mingfu Bridge, and fled without fighting, leaving grain and grass and the army!" Xiangyang is a military town, not only more soldiers but also more food, and now Lai Yao has led the army to attack Yingchuan, if you want Lu Jiong to defend Nanyang, the current top priority is to order Wei Zhongxi and Lai Yao to send reinforcements and bring a lot of food, Weichen is not worried about Lai Yao, he will inevitably send troops to rescue Lu Jiong, because if Nanyang is lost, the rebels can attack his rear flank, Weichen is worried that Xiangyang is too guarded Wei Zhongxi will not send reinforcements. The 90,000 infantry on Weichen's side have all been trained, and 20,000 people can be dispatched to send another general to take Shangzhou to Nanyang for reinforcements, as long as Lu Jiong can survive two months, Tongguan reinforcements can arrive! There is another option, that is, let Lu Jiong lead his troops to break through and retreat to Xiangyang, there is the Han River in the north of Xiangyang, as long as the warships and naval forces are widely distributed on the south bank of the Han River, it is not easy for the rebels to capture Xiangyang, because Lu Jiong's department is not under the jurisdiction of Weichen, so Weichen cannot make decisions! ”

Xuanzong pondered for a moment and said: "Someone came to draft an order, immediately give an order to Lai Yao and Wei Zhongxi, and order the two of them to quickly send troops to bring grain and grass to reinforce Lu Jiong, there must be no mistake!" ”

After speaking, Xuanzong said to Zhao Ziliang again: "Zhao Qing, you quickly send a general to command 20,000 troops to Shangzhou to go to Nanyang to reinforce Lu Jiong, and after the reinforcements arrive, they will be controlled by Lu Jiong!" ”

Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Weichen obeys the order, and Weichen suggests that the wording of the holy decree to Wei Zhongxi should be harsh, otherwise he doesn't know how powerful!" ”

Xuanzong thought for a while and agreed: "Quasi! ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to Yongqiu in the east of Henan and said: "Yongqiu is now Zhang Xun garrison, the generals have Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun and others, the situation is extremely difficult, more miserable than Lu Jiong, the rebel general Yin Ziqi is now leading an army of 100,000 to storm Yongqiu, according to the latest military information, the rebels are still increasing, and Zhang Xun in the city is only a few thousand, and the grain and grass are almost cut off, but it is precisely because of the existence of Yongqiu that the rebels can not go all out to the east and advance to the southeast, because Yongqiu is surrounded by rebel spheres of influence, so it is also isolated, At the suggestion of Weichen, it is best to let Zhang Xun lead the army to break through and retreat to the front line of Ningling, and at the same time order Suiyang Taishou Xu Yuan to actively prepare for war, and order Li Yuan, the king of Wu in Pengcheng (Xuzhou), Xu Shuji, the Taishou of Pengcheng, and Helan Jinming, who garrisoned Linhuai (Maozhou), respectively sent troops to Suiyang to prevent the rebels from continuing to advance eastward, and blocked the rebels in Suiyang. ”

Xuanzong pondered for a moment and then said: "Send someone to Zhang Xun to pass the decree, let him lead the troops to break through the siege, retreat to Ningling, if Ningling cannot be defended, you can retreat to Suiyang and Xu Yuan to defend together, and at the same time give Wu King Li Yuan, Pengcheng Taishou Xu Shuji and Linhuai Taishou Helan Jinming to pass the decree, ordering them to immediately send troops to Suiyang, and all the soldiers and horses will be under Zhang Xun's control, and the wording must be strict and cannot be refuted, otherwise I will give them a reckoning after the autumn!" ”

Zhao Hanlin immediately agreed: "Obey the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang stayed in Chang'an for a day and soon returned to Tongguan to sit in the town, and arranged to send troops to reinforce Nanyang.

Wang Sili received a message from Zhao Ziliang and asked him to rush to the Shuai Mansion in Tongguan City. He immediately came to the Shuaifu to see Zhao Ziliang.

"The last general has seen the handsome!" Wang Sili saluted Zhao Ziliang, but found that Tian Liangqiu was also here, which surprised him.

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "No courtesy, in view of your outstanding performance in the last battle, this time this time the commander has decided to give you an important task, which will be carried out by you and Tian Liangqiu!" ”

Wang Sili hurriedly said: "Please command!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "At present, the situation in Nanyang is very serious, Lu Jiong is gradually unable to resist, I have obtained the emperor's consent, and decided to send 20,000 troops to reinforcements, let you be the main general, Tian Liangqiu as the marching Sima, with Li Chengguang as the deputy!" How are you? ”

Wang Sili immediately bowed down and said: "The last general will never give up!" ”

"Okay, you guys prepare, tomorrow I will go to Li Siye to lead 20,000 troops and five months of grain and grass armaments, and set off in three days, and rush to Nanyang as soon as possible, don't embarrass me again, understand?"

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
