Crusade against Nanzhao - Battle of Chengbei 4

Ming Xiang saw that he was disrespectful, and even Lao Tzu spoke, how could he bear this breath in his heart, and said sharply: "Lord Wang, you have been in battle for a long time, how can you not know that saving soldiers is like fighting fires, how not to protect with an army, and the rest of the army to pass quickly. 」

Wang Xuan clearly said that he was to guard against the enemy's surprise attack, so he took every step of the way, so the rescue was late. In fact, in order to preserve strength, because the summons had informed the deputy marshal Wang Zhijin that he was injured and could not take care of things, and the command responsibility was borne by Ming Xiang, so Wang Xuan wanted to let the two armies fight each other first, and then pick up the ready-made bargain himself, but he didn't expect that the Nanzhao army was well guarded and did not take advantage of it, but caused heavy losses to the Jiangnan Xidao army.

Wang Xuan is the envoy of the middle of the Qianqian Province, and his official position and qualifications are only slightly lower than Qiu Zhengxian, the observer of the Jiangnan West Province, but he is above the official position of the soldier and horse envoy Ming Xiang, although the soldiers and horses led by him are only half of Ming Xiang, but in terms of rank, he can indeed command Ming Xiang.

But Ming Xiang doesn't think so, Ming Xiang led 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangnan West Road, all of which were delivered by Qiu Zhengxian, the Taoist observer. There is a saying: cubs don't feel distressed when they sell their fields. Wang Xuan of Qianzhong Dao was distressed and injured the soldiers and horses, and did not come to help quickly, our Jiangnan West Dao generals suffered heavy casualties and lost combat strength, do they deserve it? Mingxiang thought angrily.

Wang Xuan was furious: "Do you still want you to teach me how to fight? You are just a little soldier, what qualifications do you have to point out to Lao Tzu? Don't forget who you are! 」

Ming Xiang listened to him coercing with his official position, and his heart was full of anger, although he was angry in his heart, he stopped talking.

Ming Xiang suppressed his anger, turned to Xian Yu Zhongtong, and said, "Commander-in-chief, Xie Zhiwei and Tong Zhongyan of our department fled first before the enemy, causing our army to be defeated and to lose our troops. I heard that they all surrendered to the command of the marshal, and asked the marshal to cure him for the crime of fleeing first in fear of the enemy, so as to correct my Tang military law. 」

Xian Yu Zhongtong was first false and wronged, but Ming Xiang insisted on asking people, and Xian Yu Zhongtong was angry.

Lin Mo regretted and Zhang Tongan even looked at each other, and Ming Xiang had a brutal attack, but he didn't see it.

In fact, even if Ming Xiang does not look for Xian Yu Zhongtong, Xian Yu Zhongtong must also find Ming Xiang's bad luck.

Xian Yu Zhongtong also slapped the table and said angrily: "Mingxiang, your defeated army has caused heavy losses to our army and greatly damaged morale. The second generals Xie and Tong did only to protect our army from collapse, and they were meritorious and innocent. What's more, when the first time he came to the battle array, the commander of the Southern Route Army, Lord Wang, was seriously injured, the Southern Route Army took your Jiangnan West Road as the main force, and the guard generals were also selected from your Jiangnan West Road, and now your boss is seriously injured, and the commander has not taken you to ask for the blame, today you are with the commander to ask for someone, it is really unreasonable! If you want to talk nonsense and deceive again, can't Ben Shuai cut off your head! 」

then scolded Ming Xiang, constantly blamed Ming Xiang, and asked Ming Xiang to bear the responsibility for the defeat in the battle in the north of the city, and finally asked Ming Xiang to make meritorious contributions to the crime to see the after-effects.

Mingxiang was really angry in his heart, and said secretly: "Wang Zhijin, this guy, doesn't listen to advice, and he will be injured in battle. Wang Xuan delayed coming to the rescue again. Xie and Tong will not obey the order, resulting in a big defeat, these are not ignorant of the old man, but they came to blame me, and now I have become a scapegoat. Damn, Lao Tzu has been rolling in officialdom for decades, but he didn't know that these turtle sons and bastards were so vicious. What a hate! Hateful! 」

Originally, Ming Xiang had a patriotic enthusiasm, hoping to serve the court loyally, but he didn't expect that in the first battle in the north of the city, not only the army suffered heavy losses, but also was regarded as a substitute for the dead, and the officialdom was so dark that it was disheartening.

Mingxiang was bored, so he stopped talking.

Xian Yu Zhongtong saw that Mingxiang was silent, thinking that Mingxiang was the main general of Jiangnan West Road, and he couldn't break his face for the time being, and see how the other generals said that Mingxiang would come to clean up later, so he pressed his temper and said the intention of inviting everyone to come to the account today.

Xian Yuzhong said loudly: "Our army lost the first battle, and the morale was bruised, today I invite you to enter the account to plan and discuss, what are your good strategies for conquering the Nanzhao barbarians!" Please be informed, and you are welcome. 」

Miao Yijie, deputy envoy of Lingnan Daojing, said: "Although our army has not taken advantage, its strength has not been greatly damaged, and the total strength is still greater than that of the Nanzhao barbarians, so there is no need to be discouraged. However, the high walls of Taihe City are thick, and it is not easy to attack, and if you barely attack the city, the damage will be heavy. In my opinion, it is better to withdraw the siege first and pretend to return to the north, Nanzhao will let the people go out of the city to collect wages and cultivate the fields, and we can send a fine work to mix in, and make an appointment to break through the gate from the inside, and wait for the army to rush in, Taihe City must be chaotic, although Nanzhao has soldiers, there is nothing to do, so that the battle of Nanzhao can be determined. 」

This time, the generals of Lingnan Dao are respected by the False Yi Festival, and they are honest and steady, skilled in the art of war, and they are the most relied on by Pei Dunfu's powerful deputy in Lingnan Dao strategy.

Tian Dawei, the deputy envoy of Shannan Xidao Observation, thought for a moment, stood up and said: "What Deputy Governor Miao said is very true, Taihe City is the capital of Nanzhao, and there are many people who come and go every day, plus there are many carts for business travel and transportation of daily necessities, so it is not easy to search, and it is easy for our army to mix in batches. This plan can reduce the damage of our army, and it can take the city gate without much effort, which is indeed a good plan! 」

Tian Dawei is the head of the whole army of Shannan West Road, he is a man who sees the wind and turns the rudder, is extremely clever, never goes against his boss, and is very talented as an official, so he is not very old, but at the age of thirty-five, he has become an official to a senior officer.

Qianzhong Dao summoned Wang Xuan and said, "Otherwise! Otherwise! Since Taihe City is the capital of Nanzhao, the precautions must be strict, not to mention that our army has just withdrawn, Nanzhao must be careful, and it is definitely not easy to mix in. The morale of our army has been damaged, and we should make another appointment to challenge it in order to boost the morale of the army. 」

Miao Yijie said: "Wang Dudu didn't see Luo Duohan, the general of Nanzhao, who is strong in martial arts, brave and invincible, and even broke my eight brave generals in the Tang Dynasty, which is rare since ancient times. Fierce as Zhang Fei, brave as Lu Bu, it's just like that, challenge him, maybe it's to boost his own morale or boost the morale of others? 」

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Deputy Governor Miao, my brother was in the south of the city at that time to prevent the reinforcements of Nanzhao from entering the city. I haven't seen how powerful this Luo Duohan is, but I don't know if your general's skills are not successful, and why are others not so good? Besides, Lingnan Dao is full of talents, brave generals, and vehicle buckets, if you say that the battle is just a small general, I really can't imagine it! I can't imagine it! 」

Miao Yijie was robbed by him, his face was flushed, and he was about to reply.

Jiangnan Xidao crusade made Lin Mo regret and said: "Wang Dudu, Deputy Governor Miao's words are very reasonable, Luo Duohan is strong in martial arts, and it is not easy to win, so you must be especially careful to challenge it alone, but don't spoil your own generals and reduce your own prestige." 」
