Chapter 477: The Aftermath of the Imperial Decree

Although he was born in a wealthy family in Guanzhong in the fifth round, he is not the main branch, nor does he have any resources, and he is only a Jiaodong general who has worked hard for half his life.

However, all changes began with Li Shidao, who he followed, rebelling against the Tang Dynasty.

In order to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, Li Shidao made preparations for too long, a whole decade of preparation, a whole decade of brewing, and a whole decade of foreshadowing.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, when Li Shidao really took that step, it was invincible.

In less than two years,

Li Shidao became the emperor of the island country and controlled the military and political power of the island country;

Li Shidao supported Goguryeo, which had completely declined, and restored Goguryeo, which had been destroyed for more than a hundred years, and became the controller of Goguryeo;

He overthrew the kings of Silla and Baekje, and took control of the Korean Peninsula, which was barren but geographically important;

He occupied the rich hinterland of Liaodong and became the de facto lord of Liaodong;

infiltrated, influenced, and controlled the Liaodong tribes, and brought most of Liaodong into his control, becoming the uncrowned king of the entire northeastern region of the Tang Dynasty.

If you simply look at these, Li Shidao, who defected from the Tang Dynasty, seems to have become a huge force that can stand side by side with the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs, and the Tibetans.

At the time, Li Shidao and his followers thought they were strong enough to stand up to the tough-looking Li Tang.

As a follower of Li Shidao, the status and power of the fifth round naturally rose.

Now the fifth round is in charge of the huge Liaodong, with millions of people under his command, hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and all the kings, empresses, and leaders around him trembling in front of them, and his power is far greater than that of the once unknown Jiaodong general.

If you only look at these things, the fifth round has obviously reached a peak in life, and there should be no regrets.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, and what looks beautiful will only be known when you really touch it.

For the fifth round, the baby is bitter, but no one can tell the bitterness in his heart.

For Han Xin, Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, if it is put on the fifth round, Cheng will also rebel against Tang, and defeat will also betray Tang.

………………………………

As Li Shidao's henchman, the fifth round is very clear about how powerful Li Shidao was at his peak.

Under the strong strength, Li Shidao naturally bred too many ideas, including disturbing the Tang Dynasty, cholera in the Central Plains, and plotting against Li Tang's world.

But that's just once.

Compared with other mouth cannons, Li Shidao's biggest feature is hard work, and he does what he says.

In fact, no one knows better than him what Li Shidao has done.

Set the fox to keep the geese

Hooking up with the interrace,

slaughtering the people,

betrayed the Tang Dynasty,

Spy on the Central Plains,

The whole world attacked the Tang Dynasty,

……

This pile, piece by piece, each piece pulled out individually, is enough to cramp and peel the skin, Ling Chi, the car cracks, and the door is full of beheading.

It can be said that the things that Li Shidao has done add up to show the word madness vividly.

The fifth round knew that in the past, Li Shidao, who was full of confidence, did not leave even a little retreat for himself.

However, the actual situation did not follow the plan of Li Shidao.

The situation of attacking Tang from all over the world was formed, but it was only formed, and more importantly, after the situation of attacking Tang from all over the world was formed, everything was out of Li Shidao's control.

The main force of the world's attack on Tang also began to fight with the Tang army, but Jiaodong, which had been operating for a long time, had problems in advance, and this was a disastrous beginning.

The soldiers and horses of the island country that were transported to the Tang Dynasty were directly wiped out by the Tang army.

The painstaking Qingzhou defense line collapsed,

The Jiaodong Sailor who had accumulated for more than ten years was destroyed,

The Hebei rebels marched south, but the decisive battle in the Central Plains failed.

The Tang Emperor drove the expedition in person, and the Tang army made a big move

Northern Expedition, Hebei rebels were defeated,

The Tubo-Nanzhao-Jiannan coalition army sent troops, but after it was difficult to move an inch, they chose to retreat.

……

Every time a new piece of news came, Li Shidao's situation deteriorated by one point, and the power under Li Shidao's control was weakened by one point, until now.

[In view of the general environment,

At this moment, Li Shidao is still firmly in control of the island country, although he still controls the peninsula, although he still controls the rich Liaodong, but both Li Shidao and Li Shidao's cronies have already understood that the extent of the deterioration of the situation is no longer beyond their control.

Including the fifth round, many people already have a premonition and consideration of their fate.

Both Li Shidao and Li Shidao's cronies know that Li Shidao has been sentenced to death, and there is no possibility of being forgiven.

If it was a few years ago when Datang was weak, it would be fine, and they could still survive hiding in the island country.

However, now after a wave of hard resistance to the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty, everything has changed, and the once formidable Tang Dynasty has been completely awakened.

Not only was it awakened, but after being awakened, the Tang Dynasty became more majestic, more powerful, more ferocious, and more unstoppable.

And, the one that can best show this kind of arrogance is the edict specially issued by Li Chan before Guo Rong set out from Chang'an.

………………………………

Where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all Han soil!

All the Tang flags are displayed, and the soldiers are all concubines!

All those who dare to call themselves soldiers inside and outside will be beheaded, beheaded, and burned their sects, thousands of miles away!

Whoever dares to offend will destroy his city, destroy his country, destroy his species, and cut off his descendants!

This edict,

It can't be simply described as domineering.

It's just overbearing to the extreme,

Murderous to the extreme,

It is completely inconsistent with the temperament of a great country in the mouths of Confucian scholars.

This edict,

It's not a Chinese scholar who drafts,

It is not the completion of the revision of the Chinese book province,

has not been reviewed and countersigned by the Ministry of Doors,

has not been archived by the secretary's desk,

did not go through the province of Shangshu to execute,

Therefore, the edict issued by Li Yu to Guo Rong can only become an edict issued by Li Yu to Guo Rong and Changyingjun privately, and cannot become a formal holy decree.

Theoretically, such a private edict can be rejected by Guo Rong and Changyingjun, and it is not possible to obey the edict.

Datang has never lacked smart people.

Smart people can not only see the problems in the procedure and situation of this edict, but also analyze the problems of this edict from the strategy and the situation of the Tang Dynasty.

This edict was too domineering and too severe, leaving no room for relaxation for those alien races and countries that were opposed to the Tang Dynasty.

When one's own people heard it, even though they were full of pride, once it was transmitted to the ears of the other party, it was equivalent to completely cutting off the possibility of the enemy's surrender.

You must know that China is a war nation, and war games can be born from childhood since ancient times.

Siege, siege, siege of three missing one, this is something that even children can understand, after all, after cutting off the possibility of the enemy's surrender, under the desperate bet, the enemies belonging to the Tang Dynasty will definitely do their best.

This will undoubtedly lead to a significant increase in the intensity of resistance of the Tang army on the battlefield, which may cause too many variables on the battlefield and may not be so necessary casualties.

However, Guo Rong and the officers and soldiers of the Changying Army not only accepted such an edict that had been reviewed, not countersigned, not prepared, and not procedural, and sounded extremely cruel and domineering, but also enshrined this unreasonable, unreasonable, and illegal edict as if it were a god.

And gradually, from the Changying Army to the Forbidden Army, from the Forbidden Army to the Peace Ban

The local armies, which fought side by side, gradually expanded from the local armies to the border armies in the north

Later, it spread all over the mountains and rivers, the pavilions and pavilions, the vast Central Plains, the hearty grassland, the soft Jiangnan of the water town in the dream, and the ......

It spread throughout the entire lobby to millions of territories, and spread to tens of millions of Tang people on the lobby territory.

In the whole process, too many smart people thought of this, but none of the smart people dared to jump out and rebel against this edict that should not have appeared under normal conditions under any circumstances.

Even if it is well known, those soft bones, soft torsos, and mollusk-like Confucian scholars and wealthy families, this time no one jumped out to accuse such an edict of being too cruel, too cruel, and too inhumane.

A wise man is not a fool,

Although Confucianism is pedantic, he is not stupid,

As for the wealthy families, they are even more refined to the extreme.

They all know that Datang has been sinking for too long.

It is too necessary to have such a paragraph, a domineering, mighty, fierce and ruthless statement, which has become a declaration of Datang from weakness to rejuvenation.

Ordinary people don't care,

The Confucian scholars dare not mind,

The wealthy will not be angry,

As for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they will not mind, for them, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Army caused the entire Tang Dynasty to suffer too much humiliation.

For the soldiers of Datang, this humiliation can only be washed away with more blood.

………………………………

Such an edict can boost the morale of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and it is an irreplaceable spiritual support for the army of the Tang Dynasty.

However, for the various forces hostile to Datang, this is almost equivalent to annihilation.

For Li Shidao and the forces under Li Shidao's control, their fate has been clearly written in the edict.

"All those who dare to call themselves soldiers inside and outside will be beheaded, beheaded and burned their sects, and the land is thousands of miles away!"

For Li Shidao, this is equivalent to writing the final ending of Li Shidao and his followers.

Li Shidao and his followers could not escape, and the forces under their control could not escape their fate.

"Whoever dares to transgress will destroy his city, destroy his country, destroy his seed, and destroy his seed!"

If it was in the past, they might still doubt whether Datang would have the strength to practice these domineering remarks in the future, but now, whether it is Li Shidao or Chisu Renxie, they know one thing clearly.

Datang is no longer the same sick man who used to be the Datang who could be wantonly humiliated.

Today's Datang, if they want to do it, then there is no one who can resist their will and strength.

Mobei is so far away and so remote that it can't resist the Tang army's soldiers,

The height and distance of Tubo cannot resist the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty,

The mountains of Liaodong are high and dangerous, and the cold is far away, and they can't resist the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the island country, the rough waves of the sea are indeed the natural protection of the island country, but it is naturally impossible for this to escape the sanctions of the Tang Dynasty.

In the dream, some have even seen that in the near future, countless Datang sea ships, carrying countless elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, wearing iron armor and holding swords, fully armed to land on the island country, to practice the edict of the deceased emperor.

………………………………

Initially, in the face of Emperor Tang's recruitment, An Zongyu was hesitant.

He didn't want to surrender Li Tang!

But he knew that if he refused Zhao'an, he would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Tang Army on his own!

He couldn't withstand the attack of the Tang army, but he didn't want to die either.

So while stalling for time, he contacted the fifth round of the only rebel Tang forces that could become his allies.

As a soldier and a daring offender, the fifth round believes that there are probably only two fates waiting for Li Shidao, either Ling Chi will be executed, or the five horses will be divided.

And as Li Shidao's confidant and general, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape such a fate.

Li Shidao didn't want to die, so Li Shidao sent the fifth round to Liaodong to stop the Tang army's attack and prolong their lives.

An Zongyu didn't want to die, so he defected to the fifth round, hoping that after getting the fifth round of support, he would resist the attack of the Tang army, which would also prolong his life.

Li Shidao didn't want to die, An Zongyu didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die in the fifth round of following Li Shidao's defection from the Tang Dynasty.

So he not only accepted An Zongyu, but also did his best to support An Zhongyu to stabilize the battle situation in White Wolf Mountain, so as to help him buy more time.

In the beginning, everything was fine.

An Zongyu built a complete defense system on the front line of White Wolf Mountain, hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, and prepared to use these preparations to defend the Western Liaoning Corridor.

Annoyed by the capricious An Zongyu, the Tang Emperor sent Guo Rong to lead the main force of the Tang army to send troops.

Guo Rong and An Zongyu began a fierce battle in the White Wolf Mountain in the western part of the Liaoning West Corridor.

As a result, An Zongyu was beaten by the main force of the Tang Army led by Guo Rong without any accidents.

So An Zongyu, who was beaten by Guo Rong and cried for his father, naturally could only frantically ask for help in the fifth round.

However, if there was anything unexpected in the fifth round, it was that An Zongyu resisted the Tang Army's offensive pace and maintained the battle line on the front line of White Wolf Mountain.

Nominally an ally, An Zongyu is nothing more than cannon fodder in the eyes of the fifth round.

If the cannon fodder has no value, the fifth round will not waste even a grain of grain on An Zongyu, the cannon fodder.

However, although the beaten crying father and mother, although the daily casualties were as high as two or three thousand, An Zongyu, the cannon fodder, really blocked the pace of the Tang army.

This is what makes the value of this cannon fodder soar in the eyes of the fifth round.

So, in order to squeeze out the value of An Zongyu, cannon fodder, the fifth round had to increase troops to Liaoxi again and again.

In order to strengthen the defense of Liucheng and support An Zongyu, the fifth round had to draw troops and resources from the hinterland of Liaodong again and again......
