Chapter 55: Attack on Chang'an (2)
He was confident that he would defeat a famous opponent, but he didn't believe he wouldn't shed a layer of skin.
His army was ready to attack the west, and he had made some basic arrangements, but it was impossible for him to know what Wang Du had done at present, and even if he knew some, it was really only "some".
He will be very careful, never dare to underestimate the enemy, this is what makes him terrible, he is not blindly conceited and contemptuous, for those he thinks can be despised can be despised by you, he will almost not be there, and for the opponent he thinks is very important, he will attach great importance to it.
Beside him is the famous young hero of Southern Wu - Guan Jianru.
The young man's face was still that faint banter, perhaps in his opinion, even if Wang Du was worth watching, then it would be absolutely impossible to win this war, their Nanwu Guan family would definitely be the winner, and in the end, they would trample Wang Du under their feet with the attitude of a victor.
The stretching army of Southern Wu turned into a long dragon, this is an open plain area, and it is somewhat desolate on all sides, but because of this, the Northern Tang people have absolutely no chance of ambush.
As for their Guan family's army, there was no need to sneak at all to avoid the hearing and hearing of the Northern Tang people.
They learned that more than 400 miles ahead, the Zhenwu general of the Northern Tang Dynasty, who had gathered 80,000 troops, was waiting for their arrival.
It's going to be a big battle.
……
……
It was more than 400 miles away from the marching Southern Wu army.
The spring breeze stirred the green grass and swelled the waves.
A piece of fragrance.
It was supposed to be a beautiful picture, but Sen Sen's armor and heavy slaughter shattered it all.
If you look up, you can see countless neatly arranged processions flowing through this vast land, crisscrossed by various military buildings.
If you look further away, if your eyesight is a little better, you will see the faint outline of that majestic city-
Changan!
……
……
Let's turn back the clock and go back to the court a few days ago.
The red pillars carved with golden dragons are thick and towering, and the golden splendor on all sides is reflected in the pool of water, and then reflected, fascinating people's eyes.
Smoke rises from the intricate and luxurious incense burner.
Originally, the surrounding environment would be uncontrollable to make people feel a sense of depression, but today it is not.
The ministers were so excited that they almost tore off the roof of the main hall.
It's not just quarrels, arguments, and objections, but a few of them might have fought if they weren't in this palace.
Crossing the pond over there, and then going up the gilded steps, Li Zenan, the supreme emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat quietly in the dragon chair, watching all this happen and progress with a gentle expression, without stopping, irritable, tired and impatient.
"It's just a subversion of my perception!"
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the minister has never heard of such a ridiculous thing."
"I really doubt what that guy is doing for the hell!"
……
The noise continued, and then more people stood on the same side, roaring and reprimanding at the other side almost as if they were crushing.
The number of people on the other side is relatively small, but the will is still strong.
"General Wang is proficient in the art of war, in the face of sudden people, there will rarely be defeat, he must have his own reason for doing this, although the old minister is a civil official, but the old minister believes in his ability and ideas."
"Hey! Damn, Lord Guo, don't look at you so pedantic and depressed on weekdays, I didn't expect that once it was a critical moment of life and death, I would be so open-minded, and Lao Tzu gradually admired you. You're right, a group of civilian officials who don't understand the art of war are also here to question the deployment of our Zhenwu generals, isn't this indiscriminate finger-pointing and talking on paper!? ”
"There is no problem with General Zhenwu's deployment, now that the situation is critical, it is not impossible to gather troops to fight in Chang'an, even if it is not good, I think, it can be completely delayed until we escort His Majesty away and then think about it in the long run."
……
The two sides were filled with righteous indignation, chattering, and really almost fighting, although one side seemed to be a lot larger, but if it really moved, I am afraid that the group of men on the opposite side would really have the absolute upper hand.
Now, Guan Zhengxing's army is pressing, and most of the generals who have been in the court every day have gone to Wang Du's command, trying to fight to the death with the Southern Wu army, so there are not many generals left in the court, most of them have expressed support for Wang Du, but there are also a small number of people who have the idea of opposition, and even throw out skepticism.
Li Zenan calmly watched this farce that seemed absurd but was actually very serious, and after a long time, the slender hand hidden in the sleeve of the dragon robe slowly came out, and then gently tapped the handle of the dragon chair on one side.
The Yin Gonggong, who was standing next to him, suddenly realized, cleared his throat, and shouted in a sharp voice:
"Above the court, if you disagree, you should also pay attention to your image, and you should argue with a red face, what kind of system will it become?"
Although his high-pitched voice was not very large, it was probably because of the special type of sound, but it easily penetrated the noise of those people and reached the ears of almost everyone.
The court gradually quieted down, because they all knew that the previous noise was not Li Zenan's incompetence, but Li Zenan's connivance, and now, Li Zenan is not conniving, so they have to calm down and shut up.
In today's Northern Tang Dynasty, Li Zenan's deterrence and rights are undoubted, he no longer has a strong obstacle and will to resist, and no one in the court dares to confront him.
He sat in the dragon chair, his eyes gently and confidently sweeping over the people below.
"Come one by one," he began, "don't be in a hurry, let you explain clearly, two hours are not enough, just eat in the palace, one day is not enough, I can prepare a cover for you." ”
Although he smiled faintly, everyone knew that he was not joking, he was serious.
There was even more dead silence in the court.
Li Zenan's eyes flashed over the faces of almost all the ministers, and then stopped at Long Jihe.
"Lord Long, you made the most fierce noise just now, can you tell me what you think?"
Long Jihe walked out of the queue, his eyes flashed with a sinister color, and then he bowed his head and spoke again:
"Your Majesty, let's talk about the decision made by General Zhenwu Wang Du."
Li Zenan didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was letting Long Jihe continue.
"Guan Zhengxing led the army of Southern Wu, and now it is about to go out of Zhengzhou, even so, there are still more than 400 miles away from Chang'an, within these more than 400 miles, we can organize troops to defeat them in a distant place, the worst, can also be weakened all the time, even if they can get close to Chang'an, by that time they have lost their edge, and the soldiers from other places can almost gather in Chang'an, and then have a battle with them, then, in the eyes of the old minister, it is definitely a wise move......
