The Nine Dragons General, two dead, plus a young senior general, Xia Ji, should have a very bright future.

There is even a chance to become the number one in the Tang military circles.

It's a pity that he died in the area of Niutou Mountain.

The news of the successive defeats of the Tang army in Niutoushan reached the Tang Kingdom, which shocked the government and the opposition.

In the early dynasties, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said bitterly to the civil and military officials: "Since when have we been fighting against the Wei State-for-tat?"

A minister replied: "Your Majesty, it should start with the destruction of Duan State by the Wei State, right?"

Another minister chimed in: "It should have started with the First World War." ”

The Tang Emperor was not satisfied with these answers, and he said categorically: "Actually, from the moment of Jin Gaozong's death, we and Wei have been completely on the opposite side, and in the war with Wei for so many years, our Tang State has always lost more and won less, no! ”

Speaking of this, the Tang Emperor suddenly got up from the dragon chair and continued to speak: "Later, I figured out that the war with the Great Wei must be held to the end, not only me, but even you and the entire Tang Dynasty must persevere to the end. Otherwise, what awaits us is the crisis of national extinction. ”

The ministers trembled when they heard this, and did not dare to answer.

The eyes of the Tang Emperor swept over everyone, "The ambition of the Wei State, even if I don't say it, you can understand it, right?" In fact, I have to say that the emperor of the Wei State, Zhao Changqing, is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages, and it is already unbelievable that he can bring a weak and poor country to such a situation today, but the pace of expansion of the Wei State will also stop here!"

The civil and military officials spoke one after another, all in a state of righteous indignation.

This is what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted, and he once again said to his ministers: "After one or two fiascos, it is nothing, even if there are many dead and wounded soldiers, it doesn't matter! Because they are all good men of the Tang Dynasty, in the future, the history books will write about them in capital letters, and they will be marked with the four words of national heroes! Don't be afraid of bloodshed, don't be afraid of sacrifice, how can there be a reason for immortality in a war? How can there be a reason for being invincible and undefeated?"

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable!"

One of the ministers took the opportunity to speak.

Ministers are beginning to respond.

The Tang Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "I have decided to increase the number of troops to the frontier by another 600,000!

The ministers were stunned.

Not because of the increase in troops.

It's because of Zhao Hao.

His Majesty has already decided to use him?

Has it really come to this?

Zhao Hao, the oldest general in the Tang Dynasty, was once the sworn enemy of the Tang Emperor.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he deposed him and left him to mold in his home.

But this Zhao Hao is indeed well-deserved as the first general of the Tang Dynasty.

He is also the head of the Kowloon generals.

In front of him, the rest of the Nine Dragon generals didn't dare to breathe.

There are ministers who oppose it.

After all, this Zhao Hao used to be the emperor's opponent, what if he did something unfavorable to the country after taking charge of the army, what should he do then?

However, the Tang Emperor has made up his mind, "Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people, I have already decided, let's disperse the dynasty." ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Tang Emperor came to the Imperial Garden, where a white-haired man had been waiting for him.

"I didn't expect you to be like this after many years. ”

The Tang Emperor looked at him and quipped.

This white-haired man is Zhao Hao.

He is now 100 years old.

It is a land immortal powerhouse.

Zhao Hao shook his head and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the old decay is old after all, and he is so old, how many years can he toss?"

The Tang Emperor smiled and said, "Tell me about it, can you still do it this time when you go to the Wei Kingdom?" I am very worried about your body. ”

Although in the past, some disputes often broke out between two people, but time flies, and many things can change.

The two of them, from rivals to confidants, have transformed perfectly.

"Your Majesty, the old man will not live for a few years, but he can barely hold on to the end of a big war, this is likely to be the last war in his life, if he doesn't go, he will inevitably have regrets in his heart. Zhao Hao's words were very sincere.

The Tang Emperor said, "Do you know why I let you go to the battlefield of Niutou Mountain?"

"Because apart from me, no one can control the other Kowloon generals, right?" the old man said, very indifferently.

The Tang Emperor nodded, "That's right, this is the main reason, and there is another reason, that is, the opponent this time is very likely to be the biggest enemy of our Tang Kingdom." ”

In his eyes, the main reason for the repeated defeats of the Kowloon generals was that the Kowloon generals could not be coordinated with each other, and they needed a commander.

This person, except for the white-haired man in front of him, no one can do it.

The old man said: "The emperor of the Great Wei State is very good, and it is beyond the imagination of the old man to be able to lead the Wei State like this with his own strength." However, the opponent they met this time was old, and they wouldn't get anything cheap. ”

The Tang Emperor said: "I will get rid of you, the fortune of the Tang Dynasty is all in you." ”

There is no exaggeration in this statement, no one can afford to lose the war in Niutou Mountain.

A few days later, Zhao Hao followed the 500,000-strong army and set off for Niutou Mountain.

The fact that the Tang Dynasty let Zhao Hao take command not only shocked some people in the Tang Kingdom, but even the Wei State.

In the Great Wei military camp, Zhao Changqing asked Zhuge Liang: "This Zhao Hao, do you know?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "I only hear its voice, but I don't see its people." I thought this person was dead, but I didn't expect that he was still alive in this world. ”

The Tang Emperor is now in his prime, and he is killing the monarch and usurping the throne to seize the throne.

It is also for this reason that between him and Zhao Hao, they have always existed as opponents.

Before the Tang Emperor killed the monarch and usurped the throne, Zhao Hao had already seen through his impure temperament, so he had been supporting other princes and resolutely stood on the opposite side of him.

However, he never expected that he would unite with the rest of the Kowloon generals to launch a coup d'état.

At that time, Zhao Hao had already gone to guard the border due to the run on the court, and he was powerless about the situation in the capital.

After the Tang Emperor ascended the throne, he dismissed Zhao Hao, who originally wanted to kill him.

However, his credit is really too great, and the relationship behind it is also complicated, the Tang Emperor has just ascended the throne, and after thinking about it again, he left him alive.

Unexpectedly, this Zhao Hao is quite able to live, and he has actually lived to the present.

Listening to Zhuge Liang's tone, Zhao Changqing felt that this person was not simple, "The Emperor of the Tang State insisted on letting him take command of the expedition, which is enough to prove that this person should not be underestimated, and he needs to be dealt with carefully." Let the Jinyi Wei spy find out more about him, we must know ourselves and the enemy. ”

I don't know why, hearing the name Zhao Hao, Zhao Changqing's heart couldn't calm down for a while.

is also surnamed Zhao, I don't know what impact this person surnamed Zhao, who was a family member five hundred years ago, can have on this war.
