Chapter 832: Decision to Destroy Tang (First Update)
Hearing Chu Suiliang say this, Xu Jingzong sneered twice and said nothing more. But he knew that Chu Suiliang's final choice was only the same as himself.
Although Chu Suiliang has an ideal side, he is also a person who has entered the WTO, even if he does not think about himself, he must consider Chu Liang, one of the eighteen scholars of his father's Qin Palace, and the Chu family he moved into Guanzhong.
So the two began to repair the history of the work, with the so-called praise and disparagement, the Spring and Autumn Period, in the Wude record will be written Li Yuan as a lustful, cowardly person, in Jinyang, Li Yuan did not want to raise troops, but for Li Shimin Pei Lin designed a night stay in Jinyang Palace, fornicating palace maids, and finally had to raise troops.
In this way, the first merit of Jinyang's army went to Li Shimin, except for Li Yuan, the rest of the heroes such as Pingyang princess Li Tang raised troops, all of them were belittled. The credit is given to Li Shimin, in order to highlight his ability.
Later, it was fabricated that Li Yuan had repeatedly wanted Li Shimin to replace Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, but they were all destroyed by Li Jiancheng. In order to finally change the Xuanwu Gate, Xu Jingzong also fabricated many things about the prince's immorality, such as Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and colluded with Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei to fornicate in the harem, and secretly raised the dead, regardless of brotherhood, and murdered the King of Qin many times.
In the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to raise troops in Xuanwumen to kill Li Jiancheng and force Li Yuan to abdicate, which was also a passing pass, saying that Li Yuan repented of his past mistakes, realized that he was deceived by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and took the initiative to pass the throne to Li Shimin.
In the National History Museum, Chu Suiliang sneered at Xu Jingzong halfway through the book: "After this book is published, future generations will think that as long as they have power and merit. You can become the Son of Heaven, and rebellion can also be justified. Since then, everyone in the world admires power. And the etiquette system is declining. ”
Xu Jingzong spread his hands and said: "There is nothing wrong with this, as long as His Majesty is holy enough." If you can make the people healthy, then all the problems will be solved. According to what you said about Cao Cao, Sima Yan didn't do it right? ”
Chu Suiliang shook his head and said, "For Sheji, a stable system is far better than a holy monarch. At least Cao Cao and Sima Yan usurped the throne, but they did not revise the history books and whitewash themselves. And today's actions of His Majesty can be called the first person in the ages. ”
Xu Jingzong said: "Okay, okay." I won't tell you, it's what it should be. ”
At that moment, Xu Jingzong ignored Chu Suiliang and continued to compile the book. Chu Suiliang glanced at Xu Jingzong, and said to himself while sneering: "If Li Tang wins the world, then the truth will be buried, and there will be no more ignorant people in the world, fortunately, there is still Zhao Guo." If the Tang Dynasty is destroyed by the Zhao State in the future, then this book is the evidence of today's crime, which is enough to make him stink for 10,000 years. ”
Hebei. Dawn City.
For Zhao, Liyang City was a blessed land, and after capturing Liyang Cang, Li Chongjiu received enough military rations to support the war in the Central Plains. Thus swept Henan. And now Li Chongjiu has secretly moved the base camp of this Tang Dynasty from Youjing to Liyang City.
In February, after Li Chongjiu secretly established the reserve, he arrived in Liyang City by boat and lightly equipped. Here, Li Chongjiu and his staff worked together to strategize. Plan the final decisive battle against Li Tang.
In the base camp, now Zhao Junzhong will be arguing. This is not the first quarrel. Henan, Hedong present. Several important generals in Hexi are all famous figures in the world, but when they are red-faced, they have no grace at all. What they are arguing about is that at the time of the decisive battle, whether to attack Guanzhong, whether it is Hedong, Hexi, or Henan, which way is the main way?
The following commanders Chi Gong, Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche, Wang Mahan, Wang Junkuo, and Ying Hefu all wanted to take the task of the main attack on themselves.
Wang Junkuo, Ying Hefu advocated attacking from Hexi was the loudest, because it was convenient for the attack of the steppe cavalry corps, and after the Hetao was lost, there was no geographical advantage for Li Tang in Hexi to defend. What's more, Duan Decao is already self-reliant, and the Zhao army attacks from here, so he can first force down Duan Decao, and then attack Guanzhong.
As for Hedong, it was advocated by Wei Chigong and Xue Wanjun, attacking Guanzhong from Hedong, and after Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, surrendered, Wei Chigong captured the three counties of Li Tang Hedong, which almost collapsed the defense line of Li Tang Hedong. With the three counties of Hedong, the attack distance of the Zhao army on Chang'an was greatly shortened. Sending troops from Hedong is the shortest route among the three routes, and the supply line is also the shortest, if the road is smooth, the Zhao army can reach the city of Chang'an within five days. This is also the route that Li Yuan took to raise troops in Jinyang at the beginning. If the Pujin Pass is breached, then Chang'an is separated by a river.
Finally, Luoyang was built by Henan Daoxingtai, Xue Wanjun, Wang Mahan, Xu Shiji and others. There is a good reason for Henan Daoxingtai, and the Zhao Junfu military corps is almost gathered here, which is the place where the Zhao army is the most powerful. Attacking Luoyang from Henan, although facing the natural danger of Tongguan head-on, the Zhao army of Henan could not directly attack Tongguan, but bypassed here and attacked Wuguan into the pass. From Wuguan to Guanzhong, it is also the route that Liu Bang used to destroy Qin.
The only ones who didn't say anything were Song Jingang and Xiao Milling, the two important generals of Jiangnan Dao, because they knew that no matter what, the direction of the main attack was Guanzhong, and it would not be Jingxiang and Bashu's turn, and when the decisive battle came, they would at most contain Li Jing's men and horses, so that they could not return to Guanzhong. So they had nothing to do, just sat on the sidelines, and watched with great envy as several generals competed for the main attack.
They also all know why several generals have such a fierce dispute, because the Battle of Pingtang is the largest battle of Zhao State, and after the destruction of Tang, it is likely that there will be no large-scale war in Zhao State in the future, and even if there is a large-scale war, it will not be able to match this battle.
Therefore, the battle of the Tang Dynasty is a must-win for all the generals, who is outstanding in this battle, will not only go down in history in the future, but also be crowned an official and knighted, and the future generations will be prosperous. Seeing that the opportunity is at hand, it has become an extremely urgent matter for the generals to strive to seize the main attack in front of His Majesty.
After all the generals finished their speeches, they all looked at Li Chongjiu, waiting for his decision.
Li Chongjiu's eyes swept over the generals, looked at Zhang Xuansu, who had not spoken on the side, and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
As Li Chongjiu's chief strategist, Zhang Xuansu got up and said: "This attack on Tang, no matter which way is the main force, the most important thing is the movement of Li Shimin's men and horses in Chang'an. Our army is fast enough to miss the attack, so that the three-way army is surrounded under Chang'an City, then Li Shimin will not be able to turn the tide of the battle even if he has the ability to overwhelm the mountains and seas. ”
"But the three-way people, some fast and some slow, it is difficult to do this, so we can only retreat to the second, to mobilize the main force of Li Shimin gathered in Guanzhong, and it is best to let him hang outside Chang'an and fight with us. We concentrated our forces on more than two fronts and launched an attack on Li Shimin! In such a decisive battle, we have a good chance of winning. ”
"If the coordination is not proper and the march is delayed, it will be easy to be broken by Li Shimin, so the strategy of dividing the attack and attacking together needs to be cautious, no matter which way the main attack is, it is not possible to advance lightly, let alone let Li Shimin judge the direction of our army's main attack."
Yu Shinan said on the side: "Zhang Shilang is reasonable, this time the Tang Dynasty will be defeated in a battle, so we will directly attack Guanzhong and seize Chang'an as our strategic goal." At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent Li Shimin from retreating from Guanzhong into Bashu and defending according to the danger, then it will be two to three years later before the world can be pacified. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "Yu Aiqing's worries are reasonable, I can't let Li Shimin have a chance to retreat from Chang'an to Guanzhong." ”
Li Chongjiu walked to the map, pointed to the map with a bamboo cane, and said: "I decided to mobilize troops to gather troops in the Jingxiang area, there are 20,000 sailors, 30,000 foot soldiers, and 5,000 cavalry in Daxingtai, Jiangnan Province, I decided to use them to attack Hanzhong from Shangyong, attack Li Tang's Badong County, and cut off Li Shimin's retreat from Guanzhong to Bashu, what do you think?" ”
Song Jingang and Xiao Mo glanced at each other, and they both showed a look of surprise. I thought I wouldn't have a chance to join in the fun, but I didn't expect Li Chongjiu to hand over this important task to them.
Song Jingang said: "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful strategy, the Tang army in Xiangyang is a hard bone, even if we capture Xiangyang, it will not be of much help to our army's main force to attack Guanzhong, but it is better to attack Hanzhong, which is a greater threat to Chang'an." ”
Xiao Mo said: "I agree with General Song's opinion, although we have been training in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River for a year in order to attack Xiangyang, this battle is useless. However, if we can bypass Xiangyang and capture Hanzhong, it will undoubtedly be of greater help to our army in the battle of Guanzhong. ”
At this time, Xue Wanche listened to Song Jingang and Xiao Mian took on such an important task, and couldn't help but think of intervening. Xue Wanche opened his mouth and said: "Jiangnan soldiers are good at water warfare, but Shangyong, Hanzhong is mountainous, I'm afraid the battle is unfavorable, my Wuwei Army can support 5,000 men and horses, and follow you into Hanzhong." ”
Before Xiao Mo could speak, Song Jingang replied on the side: "Don't worry about General Xue, no matter water warfare or foot warfare, I am proficient in everything, not to mention that the Tang army does not have a general garrison in Hanzhong, you still keep your troops and see if you can capture Tongguan!" ”
Xue Wanche said: "No matter what, Tongguan, Wuguan are not a problem, you say that Tongguan is dangerous, but Xiang Yu has entered, Cao Cao has entered, and Liu Yu has entered." It's just man-made! Ben will be more worried about Hanzhong. ”
Seeing that the two generals were tense, everyone also persuaded them together. The Zhao army has swept the world in recent years, from the generals down to the soldiers, all of them are arrogant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are arrogant generals. None of the generals are convinced, and Li Chongjiu also intends to cultivate such a competition mechanism among generals. There is no arrogance for the general, how can it.
Li Chongjiu's gaze swept over the generals and said, "Okay, everyone, I already have a comprehensive plan in my heart for the attack on the Tang Dynasty, just wait for the order to act!" ”
Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, all the generals said yes together. (To be continued......)
