Chapter 1102: Counterattack
Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 inforeadx;? The abuse of power by the low-level personnel of the Tang Yu court in the implementation of the new law reform and filling their own pockets has caused widespread dissatisfaction among the people, and another thing that the Tang Yu court did has aroused greater dissatisfaction among many people, that is, the comprehensive seizure of the Shura Hall.
The concept of Shuratang has never been a secret, it has always been a clear banner against the aristocracy, advocating equality, and benefiting the common people, and it is precisely because of the existence of this concept that Shuratang has won widespread support among the people.
It can be said that the concept of Shura Hall is completely consistent with the concept of Tang Yu's court, but Tang Yu's court wants to completely seal up Shura Hall, which will of course arouse people's complaints.
Shuratang's influence in Feng County and Sichuan County is not great, but its roots in Anjun and Mo County are quite deep, and the dissatisfaction of the people in these two counties with the Tang Yu court is also getting higher and higher.
Anjun, which was once rich, is now being tossed full of displaced people, but all the people who have some possessions and can afford to move to Xijing, even if they have not migrated to Xijing, have also migrated to the four western counties.
This is the current situation of the Tang Yu court and the four eastern counties, as for the national war battlefields in the Wind Country and Ningnan, they are now gradually approaching leveling.
On the South Road Front, with the withdrawal of the First and Fourth Army Corps of the Zhenjun Army, the momentum of the Feng Army's continuous westward advance stopped, and on the Middle Road Front, the Feng Army led by Wei Chizhen was still confronting the Ningnan Army led by Liao Ye in Mingshui County, and the North Road Front, that is, the Duji Battlefield, is the most active of the three fronts.
Both the Wind Country and Ningnan have invested their main forces in the Duji battlefield, and the battles that have occurred here have never been interrupted, with big battles and small battles, one after another, and both sides have their own victories and defeats on the battlefield, and neither has an overwhelming advantage.
Now that the national war between the two countries has reached a stalemate, it will be difficult for either side to achieve a decisive victory.
Of course, this is completely different from the concept of the Wind Country before the war, the Wind Country fights this battle, what is required is a quick victory, if it cannot achieve an overwhelming advantage in the early stage, then when the war drags on to the middle and late stages, it will be difficult for the Wind Country to make any progress, and this war will be like all the wars that the Wind Country has launched against Ningnan before, and finally become a futile.
However, the Tang Yu rebellion that occurred in the Wind Country completely shattered the Wind Country's pre-war concept, and a quick victory was no longer possible, and the hope of victory became more and more slim.
But what is interesting is that the internal turmoil in Ningnan has also been much longer than expected in the Wind Country, until now, the internal throne of Ningnan has not been determined, and the battle for the throne between Huang Ziyuan and Huang Zihao is still continuing to intensify, and is developing in the direction of comprehensive white heat.
Now the situation of Fengguo and Ningnan is very familiar, both countries are in civil strife, both countries are internally unstable, and the main central army is invested in the national war battlefield, this coincidence makes the national war between the two countries become delicate, who wins and who loses in the end, no one can make a prediction now,
For Tang Ling, the current war is completely contrary to the original concept, and it is already very unoptimistic, and there is a possibility of a complete collapse if it is not done.
Shangguan Xiu is much more optimistic than Tang Ling, in his opinion, the country of wind still has the hope of winning this national war, the key point is whether the country can quickly put down the rebellion and stabilize the domestic situation, Shangguan Xiu said: "I heard that Baifeng Buzhuang has now made 200,000 sets of military uniforms, I plan to first equip these 200,000 sets of military uniforms to the first army and the fourth army, and counterattack to the east, what does Xiang'er mean?"
With an army of 200,000 and an army of 600,000 counterattacks, Tang Ling had no bottom in his heart.
She said worriedly: "Ah Xiuke must not underestimate the rebels, we have firearms, the rebels also have them, and the armaments we have, the rebels are also not lacking, with 200,000 troops, take the initiative to attack 600,000 enemy troops, this is too risky,"
"If it is a regular army of 600,000, the first and fourth armies may not be easy to fight, but the other side is a rebel army, then it is different, not to mention, we still have 100,000 Besa cavalry available in Jade County,"
Not to mention the 100,000 Besa cavalry, Tang Ling is better, when it comes to Hailey's 100,000 Jinsk city-state army, her anger will not be in one place,
She frowned and said, "Hailey treats the 100,000 cavalry in her hands as a treasure, and when she needs them to charge, I am afraid that she may not listen to our orders,"
"I can't help but listen, unless she wants to follow her 100,000 cavalry to die together," Shangguan Xiu said coldly.
Tang Ling was silent for a long time, took Shangguan Xiu's hand, and asked, "If our army counterattacks, can we have a few percent chance of winning?"
She asked this, it was difficult for Shangguan Xiu, and it was also a layman's question, Shangguan Xiu had confidence in this battle, but before the battle started, who would dare to say that he would definitely win, Shangguan Xiu understood that Xiang'er was just looking for a psychological comfort,
He pondered for a moment and said, "More than seventy,"
"That'...... There is still a thirty percent chance of losing, "It's not that Tang Ling is timid, but this battle is too important, once it fails, the situation facing his side is really unimaginable, unimaginable, "Otherwise, let's prepare again, don't rush to war,"
"Now, the four eastern counties are not stable, Tang Yu's position is not firm, and the rebels still firmly occupy the prominent position in the court, but this will not be too long. Officials who are good at governing will take over, and when that happens, the people's dissatisfaction with the Shangjing court will be sharply reduced, and Tang Yu's throne will be fully consolidated, with the strength of the four western counties, it is impossible to win the united eastern four counties anyway, at that time, we really have no chance at all, and the most needed to win time at the moment is not us, but Tang Yu, an army of 600,000, obviously has the strength to continue to advance to the west, but Shangjing has not dared to order troops to attack the four western counties, why, in seeking stability, Tang Yu must also be very clear, as long as he can stabilize the hearts of the people in the four eastern counties, then he is not far from victory, ”
Tang Ling listened carefully, and when Shangguan Xiu finished speaking, she muttered: "Therefore, we can't give Tang Yu time to adjust internal affairs, we must take advantage of the opportunity when the rebel officials are in power, the governance is chaotic, and the people are generally dissatisfied, and send troops to quell the rebellion in time, so that we can comply with the will of the people and get twice the result with half the effort,"
Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "Since Xiang'er understands the truth, she shouldn't stop sending troops anymore,"
"I'm not blocking the dispatch of troops, but I'm a little worried...... "If this battle is lost, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to keep the four western counties, and without the four western counties as the foundation, the soldiers on the battlefield of the national war are like floating duckweed, what else to do to fight with the people of Ningnan,
"The more it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, even if we don't have the full certainty of winning, we must fight this battle, and we can only fight," Shangguan Xiu said in a firm tone,
Tang Ling finally made up her mind, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, Ah Xiu, I will listen to you in the war," Speaking of this, she changed her words and asked with a smile: "Baifeng Buzhuang has now produced 200,000 sets of military uniforms,"
"I heard yes,"
"She is much more capable than I imagined," Baifeng Buzhuang's foundation is in Anjun, and now it has just moved to Xijing, under such conditions, it is incredible that 200,000 sets of military uniforms can be completed in half a month, in Tang Ling's opinion, this is also an unbelievable thing, if it weren't for knowing that the forge does not produce cloth and ready-to-wear clothes, she would probably have to suspect that Shangguan Xiu was secretly helping her,
"Qingling is quite capable," at least much more capable than he imagined, and he is no longer the weak little girl she was when she went to Beijing to study.
Tang Ling was about to speak, when a gendarme hurriedly walked over, and when Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling approached, he intervened to give a salute and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Mr. Yan asks to see you,"
"Mr. Yan," Tang Ling didn't know who Mr. Yan was talking about by the gendarmes, Shangguan Xiu explained: "Yan Hui, the hall master of the Zhenjun branch of Shura Hall, Xiang'er, I'll go out to see him,"
"No need, just let him come to the Imperial Garden, this is my home, and it is also your home," how can there be a guest visiting, the host has to go out to see the guest,
Tang Ling's gradual change in attitude towards him, Shangguan Xiu could feel it,
She is the supreme emperor, no matter how much she likes a person, it is impossible to treat this person as a person who can be equal to herself all of a sudden, even after the two of them got married, Tang Ling's attitude towards Shangguan Xiu is often condescending, it is unconscious, it is naturally revealed, but Tang Ling is also changing, whether it is for external reasons, or internal changes, in short, she is indeed trying to make changes, >
This is enough for Shangguan Xiu, he likes Tang Ling as a person, that is, he likes her advantages, and he can also tolerate her shortcomings.
With a smile in his eyes, he nodded to the gendarme who reported the news, and said, "Okay, let Yan come back to the Imperial Garden to see me,"
"Yes, Your Highness," the gendarme agreed, and walked away quickly,
After a cup of tea, Yan Hui was led into the imperial garden by the military police, and Tang Ling was quite surprised to see Yan Hui, originally in her mind, Yan Hui should be a man with five big and three thick, with a fierce spirit, it can be seen that he himself found that it was not so good at all,
Yan Hui's handsomeness made him look less like a man, but more beautiful than most women, and even Tang Ling felt that Gu Qingling's appearance might not be comparable to Yan Hui, seeing him, two words suddenly appeared in her mind: demon,
When Yan Hui was honest and not crazy, he really looked like a handsome son, handsome, graceful, pleasing to the eye, in the imperial garden, he saw Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling from a distance, he played the placket of his shirt slowly and methodically, and between his gestures, he was full of gentle and elegant demeanor.
Before and after the two of them, he bowed forward and saluted, and said: "Caomin Yanhui, see Your Majesty, see Your Highness, Your Majesty Wanfu, Your Highness Jin'an,"
Tang Ling's first impression of Yan Hui was very good, he nodded at him with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Flat,"
"Thank you, Your Majesty,"
Looking at Yan Hui's serious appearance, Shangguan Xiu almost laughed out loud, Yan Hui is from Huya Pass, the most orthodox Zhenjun army background, for him, how can Shangguan Xiu not understand, when marching and fighting, eating and living together is a common thing,
In the army, Yan Hui is a monkey, jumping up and down, going up to the battlefield, the monkey becomes a tiger, and he will always be ranked first in the charge, when has he been so well-behaved,
He asked, "Recruited,"
"It's already recruited, Brother Xiu," after speaking, Yan Hui felt that it was inappropriate again, and changed his name: "Palace...... Your Highness,"
Shangguan Xiu smiled with satisfaction and reminded: "Your Majesty is not an outsider, in front of Your Majesty, you don't have to be so restrained," there is no need to deliberately change the address to him,
Yan Hui scratched his head, looked at Tang Ling, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu, and smiled at him, revealing two rows of small white teeth,
Tang Ling asked puzzledly, "What's the trick?"
