"Not enough, not safe enough, the behavior of the Tubo people this time is abnormal!"

"Father, haven't we already deduced that the Tubo people have the intention of containing the troops, fighting with the snipe and clam and reaping the profits," halfway through the sentence, feeling inappropriate, he added another sentence.

Guo Rong seems to agree with this judgment.

Hearing what Li Chun added at the end, the corners of Li Yu's mouth hung a surging smile, at least Li Yu thought it was a good phenomenon.

"The abnormality of the world is a demon, the Tubo people are not stupid, they should not be in the frontal hard attack knowing that we have been waiting for us, but it is not ruled out that they may be demons, so it is recommended to increase troops and strengthen defense."

"Father, haven't we already sent the left and right guards and the left and right guards to the four towns of Lingwu, Longyou, Jiannan, and Jiannan and Nandao respectively."

"Although the number and establishment can not be compared with the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, but the South Ya Twelve Guards are also reorganized with the Changying Army as a template and backbone, their elite degree is not comparable to the border army, with the support of these four guards, plus the border army of each town, the situation may be passive, but it should not collapse."

Li Yu shook his head with a smile, looked at Li Chun with a doting gaze, and then fell into a memory.

"Chun'er, do you remember five years ago?"

"Five years ago?"

"Five years ago, the Shence Army rebelled, and at the last moment I made the decision to defend Xingqing Palace."

Li Chun nodded, of course he knew, because he was also in Chang'an at the time, but

"From dawn, the rebels led by Ju Wenzhen besieged Xingqing Palace for a whole day, and the corpses of the entire Xingqing Palace were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses that fell under the palace walls were even so many that they needed to be cleaned up by the rebels before they could attack the city."

"The most dangerous time has been killed here, Guo Rong and the soldiers are fighting outside, Zhang Jiaxuan, Yan Qing, Liu Zongyuan and others are guarding in front of me, the entire Qinzheng Building has been filled with corpses, do you know how to survive the crisis at that time?"

"It's not Aunt Yan......"

"Yes, it's them, but it's not just them!"

"Huh? I don't know much about my father! ”

"Well," looked at Li Chun, Li Yu continued, "Then let me change the question, do you know how Guo Xin and the Anxi Army held Qiuzi?" ”

"This ......"

Without waiting for Li Chun's answer, Li Yu suddenly spoke.

"Chun'er, I hope you can remember every word I say to you today!"

Li Chun didn't know why Li Yu suddenly said such a sentence that didn't match the front and back at all, but he heard a certain sense of decisiveness from this abnormal sentence, and then nodded solemnly.

"Guo Xin never thought that he could always stick to Qiuzi and Anxi!"

"Father, how is this possible!! The Anxi Army can be called a desperate situation, fighting alone in a desperate situation for 50 years, if there is no such belief, how can Guo Xin and the soldiers of the Anxi Army persist until now!! ”

Li Yu smiled, as if he knew that Li Chun would perform like this.

"Don't be surprised, I didn't understand it originally, to be precise, I didn't understand it when I saw Guo Xin's letter brought by Guo Rong, but after the battle of Xingqing Palace, I understood!"

"Guo Xin never expected that Qiuzi would not fall, and those white-haired old soldiers of the Anxi Army did not expect to leave Qiuci alive, so Guo Xin's idea is to drag, and it can also be said that he is gambling!"

"In less than 20 years, the four towns of Anxi have fallen one after another, but from Guo Rong's description and Guo Xin's letters, I believe that it is not so much that the fall of Khotan, Shule, Yanqi, and Xiaye was caused by the siege of the Tubo people, but that Guo Xin took the initiative to give up."

"Father, how is this possible!"

"Hehe, Chun'er, how is this impossible, have you forgotten Guo Rong's origin?"

Li Chun was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered that Guo Rong was the young man who was transferred from Khotan to Qiuzi before the fall of Khotan, when he first heard Guo Rong's origin, Li Chun was only shocked, but at this moment, after Li Chen's reminder, Li Chun was quick to open his mind.

"Father, are you saying that Guo Xin has planned to drain the vital forces and resources of each town and city from the very beginning, and then take the initiative to give up?"

"Yes, but not entirely, Guo Xin treats every city, and even every Anxi Army as a chess piece, and uses the city under the command of the Anxi Army to consume the lives, blood, sharpness, and heritage of the Tubo people!"

"When the potential of the city itself has been consumed, all the resources that can be extracted will be transferred into Qiuzi, and these drawn cards will become Guo Xin's hole cards for sticking to Qiuci until now!"

"After the completion of the transfer, those who remain can only say that the wounded, sick, remnants, tired old soldiers, old women, and the Tubo people who continue to attack will burn their jade and stones, and continue to consume everything that the Tubo people have!"

"But, father, even so, if there is no accident, how long can Guo Xin and the Anxi Army hold out?"

"Hehe, Guo Xin doesn't know, I don't know, in fact, I believe no one knows, but as Guo Xin said, every extra day of delay is meaningful!"

"Because Guo Xin's purpose is to delay time, to bet that Datang and Tubo will change directly, to bet that Datang will live longer than Tubo, and to bet that there is a messenger who can arrive in Chang'an!"

In fact, Guo Xin won the bet, Guo Rong went through hardships and came to Chang'an thousands of miles away. However, although Guo Xin has already evacuated the young man of Qiuci for Guo Rong, in fact, I believe that if Guo Rong can't get to Chang'an, or Guo Rong can't bring reinforcements, Guo Xin will not give up, and will keep sending messengers to Chang'an until Qiuci falls! ”

"I believe that Guo Rong understood Guo Xin's thoughts and purposes from the bones, so in Xingqing Palace, Guo Rong didn't expect to be able to defend Xingqing Palace from the beginning!"

"Guo Rong's starting point from the beginning is to delay time, consume the strength of the rebels, wear down the morale of the rebels, and when the time is ripe, wake up the Mo Dao soldiers who are ambushed outside the Xingqing Palace and the group of soldiers lurking in the rebels!"

"It's just that Guo Rong doesn't have as much capital as Guo Xin, there are several cities that can be used, tens of thousands of Tang people and Tang troops in the Western Regions are available, and space can be exchanged for time in the Western Regions, so Guo Rong chooses an unlimited reserve."

"Due to the limited scope of the palace wall, Guo Rong did not put everyone on the palace wall at the beginning, but only left some people, but under the personal leadership of Guo Rong, this small number of defenders will be used to the limit."

"Every time the defenders lose the cost of the palace wall and almost lose it, it will bring the excitement and climax of the rebels, but when the rebels are excited, the reserves left by Guo Rong will be replenished in time!"

"What's more, in order to prepare for the war, Guo Rong not only has a reserve team composed of soldiers in his hands, but also young cavalry, cooking soldiers, and Mo knife soldiers sent by Yan Guo."

"I remember that Guo Rong called this tactic refueling tactics, and it stands to reason that the first increase in troops is a taboo for soldiers, but Guo Rong and Guo Xin obviously understood the essence of the first increase in troops, because it is these reserves and hole cards that give the rebels a huge loss of morale while guarding the palace wall."

"I know Chun'er, you're not good at military affairs, but you must have read Zuo Chuan, you must know the Battle of the Long Spoon, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, so how will Guo Rong's unlimited reserves deal a blow to the morale of the rebels?"

Guo Xin arrived at Guo Rong, and Li Chun instantly understood.

Seeing the change in Li Chun's expression, Li Yu put on a knowing smile, it is normal for Li Chun to not understand some things, because he is not immersive, but he is Li Chun's father, and as a father, he has the obligation to teach his son to be smart.

"Since Chun'er, you understand this, then it's easy to say, you participated in the last military conference before Guo Rong went out, I won't repeat the content, let me ask you, now do you understand the tactics proposed by Guo Rong at that time."

Li Chun nodded, "The walls are clear, the resistance is continuous, the layers are blocked, and the space is exchanged for time......"

"Yes, it's just that the three-dimensional defense system that Guo Rong thinks about is not only the outer line defense west of Longshan, but when the two brothers Wu Shaoxiang and Wu Shaoxiong were taken, and the Tubo people, Hebei rebels, Silla, Baekje, and island countries were determined from Wu Shaoxiang's mouth, the letter sent by Guo Rong also mentioned the second line of defense, do you remember what Guo Rong said?"

"Guo Rong said that Chencang and Jingzhou are the two core nodes of the defense of Datang Guanzhong from Longxi in the north to Qinling and Jiannan in the south, especially Chencang!"

"The northern part of the Guanzhong Plain is the continuous mountain plateau (Loess Plateau), the southern part is the Qinling Mountains, the west is the Longshan Mountains, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are the capital of the emperor."

"Relying on Weishui, Chen Cang is the westernmost point of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, which can be called the last barrier of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, if Chen Cang is in the enemy, even if it is a million soldiers and horses, he does not dare to enter the Guanzhong Plain rashly, and the former Zhuge Wuhou Er's exit from Qishan is precisely because Chen Cang's achievements fell short."

Li Chun's memory was very accurate, and Li Yu was quite relieved, and then he continued.

"And once Chen Cang is lost, it means that all enemies can drive straight into Chang'an City in a short period of time!"

"At first, when Guo Rong persuaded me, he was ashamed of several Tang emperors who fled without a fight, but later, after the guidance of Fan Xichao, Li Yu and others, he also discovered the shortcomings of Chang'an City's city defense."

"The scale of Chang'an City is too large, the city wall is too long, but the height is too low, it is too difficult to defend at a height of less than two feet, and it takes at least 200,000 troops to complete the defense."

"The problem is, if there are 200,000 troops, why bother to let the enemy army go to the city of Chang'an, and directly attack the battle and win the hunger and thirst!"

"But now, Chang'an City does not have an army of 200,000, not even 100,000, as the last barrier to protect the pass, so someone must go to Chen Cang!"

"Of course, Jingzhou, which was the core of the original Longshan-Xiaoguan defense line, and Chang'an, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, must also be in charge!"

"Comparatively speaking, in the direction of Xiaoguan-Jingzhou, the terrain is complex, and it is in the Shuofang Jiedu Defense Zone, which is relatively safe, Zhang Yiyi can accompany the prince to go together, and while guarding the north gate of Guanzhong, he can also cultivate the influence and status of the prince in the army by the way."

"Chun'er, as my Tang Emperor, you must sit in Chang'an, sit on the Longshou Plain, look down on the world, even if the enemy army is really in the city, there is only one thing you have to do, lead the army and the people, and defend Chang'an, you know?"

Li Chun nodded, but the next moment, Li Chun was suddenly stunned,

"Father, then you mean ......"

Li Yu smiled, "Chen Cang is naturally going by me!" ”

Li Yu tried to stretch out his hand, but his weak arm was never able to touch his target, Li Chun's heart flashed countless feelings, the tip of his nose was sore, and he took the initiative to lean forward, just like a child, let Li Yu gently touch his forehead.

But perhaps Li Chun's desire for power in the past surpassed everything, but everything that happened in the past five years made Li Chun very clear about everything his father did for himself.

"Father! I can't help it! ”

Looking at Li Chun's performance, Li Yu was both satisfied and helpless, satisfied that he felt the long-lost family affection at the last moment of his life, but there are some things that he can only do by himself now!

Seeing what Li Chun wanted to say, Li Yu smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Chun'er, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sitting in Chang'an, it is your duty to rule the Tang Dynasty, I really want to accompany you to go down, but unfortunately I can't walk anymore, and the rest can only be handed over to you."

"Put the Tang Dynasty into your hands, and I can face the ancestors and ancestors with no shame!"

"I made an oath on the square of Xingqing Palace, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, I just want to be an old dog guarding the door for the Tang Dynasty before I die!"

"If the Tubo people don't come, I will be deemed to have completed my last trip, and if the Tubo people really come, then I will fulfill my promise, the Son of Heaven will guard the country, and the king will be the first to die!"

"Chun'er, don't stop your father from completing the last journey of his life, okay?"

Seeing tears flashing in Li Chun's eyes, Li Yu smiled knowingly and patted his son's hand gently.

"It doesn't have to be like this, there is a way that men don't flick if they have tears, maybe I can still make military achievements in Chen Cang, and then I may be able to become the second Tiance general after Taizong?"

Listening to his father's jokes and ridicule, tears fell in Li Chun's eyes, and the main hall of the diligent government building, who had witnessed the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly became quiet.

】

After a long time, Li Chun, who had readjusted his emotions, held Li Yu's hands and said a word.

"Good!"

As the father and son reached an agreement, there was silence again in the Qinzheng Building for a long time, and after a long time, Li Yu broke the silence.

"Chun'er, what other battle reports and letters have Guo Rong sent recently, if there is, maybe my father can refer to it for you at the end."

Li Chun nodded and spoke.

"Father, Guo Rong proposed to set up a guard in the bay north of Wendeng County, named Weihaiwei, which means to shock the sea frontier, and set up a military port and naval division on Liugong Island north of Weihaiwei."

"Set up Chengshanwei in the name of Chengshan Mountain, which was once climbed by the First Emperor in the east of Wendeng County, and set up Jinghaiwei in the bay south of Wendeng County, which means to pacify the sea frontier."

"Weihaiwei, Chengshanwei, Jinghaiwei, and Laoshanwei will become the core of our Datang coastal defense and the source of the naval division, and the Liugongdao naval division and the Jiink division will become the template and prototype of our Datang naval division.

"At the same time, relying on Weihaiwei, Chengshanwei, Jinghaiwei, Laoshanwei, Liugongdao Naval Division, and Jiink Division, a comprehensive school of coastal defense, naval warfare, and navy has been set up in Wendeng County to continuously cultivate relevant talents for Datang."

After listening to the content, Li Yu did not give an answer, but continued to ask Li Chun.

"Chun'er, what do you think?"
