Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Require a Hundred Battles Chapter 1242 Xiliang (6)

On this day, the Tubo people did not attack the city again, and in the strange calm, the originally besieged Xiliang City also flashed a gap. ()

On the side of Beicheng, facing the direction of the Gobi Desert, the Tibetans besieging the city packed up and retreated.

Siege three que one, the typical number of siege roads, the Tubo people who took advantage of the situation, finally began to become less arrogant, but the rational siege of the city often seemed more terrible in war.

This is the calmest day after the siege of Xiliang City.

But beneath the calm façade, there are undercurrents surging inside and outside the city.

Among the Tibetan army outside the city, some people who were ready to pack and wanted to leave here were arrested, and then, dozens of bloody human heads were hung on high poles.

The Children of the Sun are declaring their determination and majesty in their blood.

The Highlanders cursed his brutality and tyranny, and feared the bloody methods of the Lowland king, while the Lowlanders bowed their heads, praying that their sons of the sun would restrain his wrath and lead them to a glorious victory once again.

In Xiliang City, the defenders were still panicked, and some rumors were spreading quickly, and the Western Xia generals who commanded Li Chengzhong were pacifying the turbulent hearts in the city while speeding up the process of escape.

This is not surprising, since the Tubo people Tubo appeared under Xiliang City, none of these important generals in the army who know the situation of the Right Wing Military Division will believe that they can defend this Xiliang City.

Compared with those low-level officers like Li Dayong, they are more aware of what kind of bad situation they are facing with internal and external troubles.

It was enough for the main force of the right wing military division for several years. and support the grain and grass of Gansha and other important military towns. It has already been emptied in the past few years. Especially last year, the generals in the army who commanded Li Chengzhong were busy with their own back.

The gold and silver are soft and soft, and they have been shipped out one after another, befriending the powerful people in the DPRK and China, as Xiliang City, or the right wing of the army, the most and most precious things. Grain, grass, ordnance and other materials have become the focus of the generals' hands.

In their opinion, once Xiliang City is assigned to the Qin people, it will be cheaper for outsiders to keep things, it is better to divide the matter, as long as the adults in the court can get a piece of the pie, where will they be held accountable in the future, such things are also commonplace in today's Western Xia.

Therefore, the generals of these right-wing military divisions are extremely bold. Only the grain and grass for the winter were left, and the rest was gone. Even Li Chengzhong himself doesn't know exactly which people's pockets all this food has flowed into.

It can be said that the generals of the Right Wing Military Division have shared a lot of benefits in it, and in the spring season, Li Chengzhong is still thinking that the adults who have received their benefits should be able to work harder and transport a few more batches of grain and grass to Xiliangcheng, so that the benefits of the big guys will be more.

It's a pity that he hasn't waited for the news of the DPRK here, but he has already waited for the Tubo people......

After a few days of offensive and defensive battles, if the bolder soldiers below, like Li Dayong and others, most of them will feel that although the Fanren barbarians are menacing, but then the benefits of the fortified city, even if they can't defeat the Fanren, they should be safe to protect themselves, and they can laugh a few times easily, then at night, the generals of the various departments gathered in Li Chengzhong's mansion can be said to know it and are dead.

There are no reinforcements outside, because there is no chance to send people out to ask for help, and there is no grain and grass inside, because most of the grain and grass of the Right Wing Military Division are transported out by their hands, and what they regret most now may be that they did not go with the grain and grass.

In the eyes of these senior generals, the current situation can only be described as sinister.

Now it can barely support itself for a while with the savings of various departments, but in fact, as long as the Tibetan barbarians are waiting here, there is no need to fight, and the city itself will be in chaos.

Before the Tibetan barbarians came, they had almost caused a mutiny, which is a clear proof that in the northwest Liangzhou territory, the soldiers have always been bold and reckless, and it is not once or twice to kill officials and rebel, and it is more difficult to control than the military division of the left wing, if not, no one in the court will mention that the important town of Xiliang will be given to the Qin people.

There have always been many complaints from the military division of the right wing, saying that the military division of the right wing is raised by the queen mother, and it is just that it cannot be profited by the convenience of business, and the food and salary cannot be compared with the military division of the left wing.

Of course, it is useless to say these things now, and the weakness of the Right Wing Army Division is not caused by the work of one or two days, and the reason for this is not something that can be clearly explained in one or two sentences.

By now, the military division of the right wing has really come to the end of the road, and many people are like mirrors in their hearts in this situation.

From the Tubo army to the city, the joint camp spread over more than ten miles, Li Chengzhong and the generals only took a look at the city, and the first thing that came to mind was that the city was undefendable.

In fact, there are definitely not a few people who think like him.

In the past three days, the generals have not discussed the matter once or twice, Li Chengzhong only ordered the generals to appease the army, but he could not come up with a way to retreat from the enemy, and the generals talked a lot, although they said a lot, but they could only say that they were sitting in a city of sorrow and had nothing to do......

"Uncle, the south and west of the city are besieged, and it seems that they can't get out, so we have to ...... Plan ahead......"

At this time, it was late at night, and in Li Chengzhong's mansion, Li Chengzhong's face sank like water, listening to the persuasion of his nephew who was anxious to get on fire there, but he didn't say a word.

But he looks calm, but he is secretly regretting that he sent his relatives away at the beginning, in fact, he himself has already had the intention of leaving, but someone in the court sent him a secret letter to let him win people's hearts, once the peace is negotiated, he will never let him end up......

In fact, the meaning vaguely revealed between the lines is very clear to Li Chengzhong.

Today, although the Right Wing Military Division has been at the end of the road, after all, the Right Wing Military Division has been stationed in the southwest of Western Xia for a long time, and over the years, it has seen no less battles than the Left Wing Military Division, and it is still implicated in one way or another with the Uighurs.

In other words, the foundation of the Right Wing Military Division, among the major military divisions in Western Xia, can be regarded as thick, even if the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse in recent years, but the elite of the army still has some left.

And the joint is here, the matter of the DPRK and China, as a party and royal family, he is very clear, over the years, the turmoil between the DPRK and the state is actually a fight between the emperor and the prime minister.

It's also ridiculous to say, since Taizu Yuanhao established the country, except for Taizu Yuanhao's southern and northern wars, and the whole dynasty has no disobedience, the following emperors are all subject to others, and few people can be as dictatorial as Taizu Yuanhao.

In this way, the struggle between the emperor and his relatives, between the emperor and his subordinates, is simply dayless or nothing.

Fortunately, the left and right military divisions and the major military divisions have restrained each other, and no general has ever followed the military power in his hands and talked about things in the court, otherwise, Western Xia would not be able to survive to this day.

Of course, there are not no people who are generals and ministers of state, such as Li Yuankang, the current minister of Western Xia, is like this, this person temporarily emerged in the rebellion of Ren Dejing, and in the next twenty or thirty years, he led his troops to attack Qin repeatedly, and his official position soared, and the first emperor was tired of government in his later years, and this person became more and more powerful.

The above is connected with the important ministers of the court, and the heads of the major military divisions below are either from his subordinates or are willing to be driven by them, so when the first emperor died and negotiated peace with the Qin people, this person took the opportunity to monopolize the dynasty and became another powerful minister in the Western Xia, with minions all over the court and the opposition.

This is a bit far away, back to the present, in fact, in Li Chengzhong's opinion, Li Yuankang's uncle and nephew are inside and outside, and there is nothing wrong with controlling the military and government of Western Xia for all these years.

These uncles and nephews are originally members of the royal family, much more pleasing to the eye than those relatives, the life of the Western Xia royal family is not good, so they can't complain about others at all, who made the previous emperors so able......

Of course, these are all jokes, Li Chengzhong sees it very clearly, not to mention that Li Yuankang's uncle and nephew are in power, even if His Majesty gets the authority now, the royal family will be able to live a better life?

That's the real joke, to put it mildly, even when Emperor Taizu was there, he killed his own sons and nephews, without blinking, in fact, it is better for the foreign surname to be in power, after all, you must be afraid of the face of the royal family, and you will not kill the children of the royal family.

It's really the royal family in power, so you have to be more afraid of these uncles and brothers.

And Li Yuankang's uncle and nephew were born in the royal family, but over the years, they didn't make a big deal against the children of the royal family, but just relegated him to foreign countries, in fact, he was already kind-hearted.

At this point, Li Chengzhong has seen it very thoroughly.

But then again, as a member of the Western Xia royal family, there are times when you ...... You don't fight, but you expect others to be merciful? Dream on.

Just like before, the secret letter came to him, and after thinking about it, he still decided to wait for the military division in the right wing, and the military division in the right wing seemed to be finished.

But the so-called broken family is still worth 10,000 yuan, not to mention the right-wing military division that has been in the army for a hundred years, and the most valuable wealth here is the Xiliang elite soldiers.

These military men who have been crisscrossing the Yellow Sand and Gobi for many years, as long as they are in control, they can be sold at a good price wherever they go.

And the meaning in the secret letter is to ask him to select the elite and go to the Beijing Division to replace some of the Beijing Division guards.

When he arrived here, Li Chengzhong, who was familiar with the court situation, would not understand that when the imperial court decree came down, he might plunge headlong into the increasingly turbulent whirlpool of the Beijing Division. 、

There is actually a dangerous place that can no longer be dangerous, if he is not careful, his Li Chengzhong's head is likely to float in the head of Xingqing, and there will definitely be no shortage of those who accompany him, but can he not agree? Can you not go?

The answer is obvious...... (To be continued......)
