Chapter 423: Shi Ye? Fate? Or is it that people's hearts are not enough?
Sometimes, the ridiculous result often appears at the end of the logical development of a series of serious things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No matter how wise the Tuliao Emperor was, he would never have thought that he would use Fan Guoshi to govern the country, and with a series of measures, he really stabilized the situation of the Tuliao State and began to quickly recover his combat strength. However, in the end, his wisdom prompted the Dingbei garrison to win over the Pingtang State, and the two cooperated to attack the Tuliao State, causing a catastrophe to the Tuliao State.
The former sage said well, when heaven and earth work together, the heroes are not free.
I think that at the beginning, the Tuliao Emperor was wise and martial, tried his best to suppress public opinion, suppressed the opposition in the clan by bloody means, and raised Fan Guoshi to the high position of national teacher. Subsequently, his incomparably wise move brought huge benefits to the entire Tuliao tribe.
A weak grassland tribe that was originally struggling to survive on the verge of extinction seemed to have turned into a behemoth overnight. The unification of the grassland, the unattainable dream of dozens of generations of patriarchs, was easily turned into reality in the hands of the Tuliao Emperor.
Next, the Tuliao people set their sights on the rich and huge Pingzhou Dynasty to the south.
When the Tuliao people trembled and attacked the first Pingzhou town, they found that the Pingzhou Dynasty, which had been incomparably powerful in their original impression and had been warned not to provoke by their ancestors, turned out to be so vulnerable.
The Tuliao Emperor did not hesitate to adopt Fan Guoshi's advice and began to invade the Zhou Dynasty in the south. Although there was a failure in the middle, in the end, the Tuliao State still swept away the Ping Zhou Dynasty. Replacing the Dou royal family, the Ashina family will become the master of this world.
At that time, the Tuliao Emperor was ambitious and ambitious, and even thought that within three years, he would completely conquer the entire Pingzhou Dynasty. He even looked at the statue of the founding ancestor of the Pingzhou Dynasty in the Taimiao of the Dou royal family, and said these words to his face.
Thinking back to the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, Xian Yi pointed to the sky with angry horses, full of pride that would be punished even if it was far away. Unexpectedly, six hundred years later, he was overthrown by a Yi emperor, and he had to stand in front of his statue and try to compete with him.
But it seems that the fortune of the Tuliao Emperor ended here.
I don't know when it happened to be in the west, a Dingbei garrison suddenly appeared, and the elite cavalry of the Tuliao State was defeated again and again.
Even the First World War severely damaged Fan Guoshi, who was relied on by Emperor Tuliao, forcing him to retreat in a hurry.
This time, the wise and martial decision of the Tuliao Emperor still seemed to stabilize the situation and pulled the Tuliao people back from the brink of defeat.
In reality, it caused even more trouble.
Emperor Tuliao is still wise and martial, and Fan Guoshi is still the strongest minister in the world. But all of this, when you are lucky to pass by, will not only not bring substantial benefits, but will cause bigger problems.
The Tuliao country is no longer the tent country on the grassland. Emperor Tuliao directly made full use of the cities he occupied through a series of tough measures by Fan Guoshi, and used them as strong fortresses to block the attack of the Pingtang Kingdom.
Although the soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom were good at siege warfare, siege warfare was always a costly combat method. The Tuliao State refused to defend the city so much, and the Pingtang State could no longer be as before, repelling the Tuliao army in the first battle, and taking advantage of the situation to open up thousands of miles.
Pushing down this city by city is also a great burden for the rich Pingtang Kingdom.
According to what Pharmacist Li said, if you want to capture the Tuliao State now, you have to raise 300,000 soldiers and horses. And this battle, it doesn't mean that you will be able to fight it with 300,000 soldiers and horses, 300,000 soldiers and horses are just a guarantee, if you want to win, you have to fill in the follow-up I don't know how much food and how many soldiers and horses.
This kind of consumption is undoubtedly a bottomless pit with a serious burden for the rich and powerful Pingtang Kingdom.
But if the Pingtang State did not take the initiative to attack the Tuliao State, it would not work.
The Tuliao people are mainly cavalry, and the speed of combat operations comes and goes like the wind. If you can't take advantage of the good situation to suppress the main cavalry of the Tuliao State, and then let the cavalry of the Tuliao people run, I am afraid that most of the Pingtang Kingdom will have no peaceful place at that time.
For the Pingtang Kingdom, it is necessary to take advantage of the victory of the front turning war and keep pressing the Liao State to fight. Now, the front-line soldiers and horses under the command of the five generals such as Pharmacist Li add up to more than 150,000.
But even with these 150,000 soldiers and horses on the front line, the Tuliao State still relied on those generals of the family to hold the city and successfully delayed the attack of the Pingtang Kingdom.
On the other side, Li Shiluan has no good way to break this situation, and the only thing he can do is to keep increasing his troops. This method is the most stupid and consumes the most national strength, but Li Shiluan has no other choice but to grit his teeth and fight with the Tuliao State.
But for the Tuliao State, these expenses are only the consumption of those families who have taken refuge in the Tuliao State. The core elite cavalry of the Tuliao people has been recuperating and regaining strength. Once the battle drags on for a long time, it will be very bad for the Golden Wolf Cavalry to recover their vitality.
The Pingtang Kingdom had no way to quickly solve the cities of the Tuliao Kingdom, so it could only choose to fight to the death with the Tuliao Kingdom.
However, the Dingbei garrison regiment has! That earth-shattering thunder is a siege weapon. A magnificent giant city like Luodu was captured by the deputy head of the regiment in one day. In comparison, those cities in the Tuliao Kingdom are not worth mentioning at all.
In the current situation, the best way, or the only way, to further suppress the Tuliao State and pacify the Tang State is to cooperate with the garrison to attack.
However, when he thought that his soldiers and horses should listen to the restraint of the garrison, Li Shiluan couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so he urgently summoned the ministers to discuss. Li Yaoshi, the moment the Dingbei garrison arrived to the north of Luodu, he was also ordered by the emperor to rush back to Luodu City.
"General Li, Wei Aiqing has already made it clear that the garrison regiment will not only send troops to help each other in this battle, but also return my soldiers and horses to its control, what is the reason?"
Li Shiluan's meaning when he said this was obvious, "I have recognized the situation and am ready to send troops jointly with the garrison. Our two families are fighting each other, why do my soldiers and horses have to listen to your moderation? The garrison regiment made this request, and I was not happy. Can you help me find a way to turn down this request? ”
As soon as Li Shiluan's words came out, all the ministers present were stunned, and even Wei Zhiyan didn't know how to answer this.
To be honest, these courtiers also felt that it was indeed a bit faceless to let the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang State obey the dispatch of the Dingbei garrison.
However, if the Dingbei garrison regiment is a normal person, we can still mediate with them, and both sides will take a step back and think of a satisfactory way to solve this matter.
But the Dingbei garrison regiment is not normal at all, with only 30,000 soldiers and horses, not only can it cripple the Liao State, but it can also completely suppress the 300,000 elites of the Pingtang Kingdom.
What's even worse is that after seeing the battle in which the Dingbei Garrison Regiment defeated the Golden Wolf Cavalry head-on, the generals of the Pingtang Kingdom now mention the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, and they all have no fighting spirit, or rather, they are afraid.
"How can such a foot soldier be beaten?" More than one general of the Ping Tang Kingdom had such thoughts in his heart. Even Pharmacist Li couldn't help but sigh that the elite foot soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment were unstoppable.
Li Shiluan once summoned Pharmacist Li alone, during which he suddenly asked: "If our soldiers and horses are against the Dingbei garrison, how long can they hold it?" How much can "Li Shiluanlian" win? "I don't dare to ask this kind of thing, I just say how long I can hold it.
How do you know that Pharmacist Li is more direct, he knelt down for Li Shiluan on the spot, and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive Your Majesty for the incompetence of the ministers, if it is against the Dingbei garrison regiment, even if 200,000 troops are dispatched, I am afraid that it will be crushed at the first touch, and the ministers can only fight to the death." ”
From then on, Li Shiluan never mentioned the matter of fighting against the Dingbei garrison.
can't beat others, can't even do a draw, and still want to save his face, why?
Besides, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment also has a deputy head who is like a live bandit, who does things according to the routine at all, and shouts and kills if he disagrees. The two generations of emperors of the Li family, from the Taishang Emperor Li Sinai, to the abolished prince Li Xinxiao, and then to the current emperor Li Shiluan, all suffered a big loss at his hands.
If you talk to him again this time, and make it unpleasant, the living bandit will be angry for a while, and if you blackmail you again, the emperor's face will be completely turned into an insoles.
The important ministers looked at each other, knowing that the live bandit was not easy to communicate, and no one would accept this hot potato.
Play dead, let's play dead together!
Wei bluntly gritted his teeth, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, and Rong Chen will go to discuss with the deputy head tomorrow." ”
Wei Aiqing's deep heart!
The next day, Li Deyi and Wei Zhiyan met again, and Wei Zhiyan did not wait for Li De to speak, and came up to preemptively say that the Son of Heaven had promised to send troops to fight together with the Dingbei garrison, but the soldiers and horses were controlled separately and did not subordinate each other.
After Li Deyi heard this, he laughed directly. He pointed his hand at Wei Zhiyan, and said loudly: "Your soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom, once the war is unfavorable, they will inevitably flee in embarrassment." It's really time to meet the Tuliao Emperor with a knife, where can you count on it! You should be in command of your scumbag soldiers and horses, go back and tell your emperor that I will not discount the requirements of the Northern Garrison this time, and I must agree to them all. ”
Wei bluntly said that he was still a little bloody, and immediately stood up and said angrily: "You, you ......" turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
The day's discussions ended unhappily ever since.
Returning to Luodu City and entering the Taiji Palace, Wei bluntly said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for their incompetence." The deputy commander of the garrison refused to agree, and he must return the soldiers and horses to him. ”
Li Shiluan listened, stood up directly from the dragon chair, didn't say a word, and began to pace back and forth rapidly.
Emperor, face is the most important, and the dragon's face must not be damaged. His own soldiers and horses are sent out to fight, and they have to be controlled by others, which makes Li Shiluan unacceptable.
But in the current situation, he didn't accept it and couldn't do it, the 30,000 elites of the Dingbei garrison regiment were just north of Luodu, and the bandit-like deputy head didn't follow the routine.
It wasn't until it was dark that Li Shiluan finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth heavily, and said bluntly to Wei, who was already standing with numb legs: "I, I promise!" ”
Wei bluntly said that his legs staggered, and he almost didn't stand firm.
At this moment, suddenly a small yellow door rushed in from the outside, shouting: "Your Majesty, the Dingbei Garrison has sent a letter!" ”
At this time, Li Shiluan was not even willing to accept the letter, and motioned to Wei Zhiyan to open the letter.
Wei Zhiyan opened the letter, glanced at it roughly, raised his head, and said happily to Li Shiluan: "Your Majesty, great joy!" ”
