Chapter 501: Dominating the Crowd
After a few days of rest, the army attacked Funing County.
It took only seven days to capture Funing County, which claimed to have 200,000 defenders.
The main general Fang Xin fled.
Zhao Changqing only felt that it was unreasonable to capture Funing, and discussed the matter with Zhuge Liang and others, but they all felt that there was no big problem.
Evening.
Zhao Changqing invited the three armies to a banquet.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is rare to get drunk.
They know that if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to drink more, they are afraid that they will not have much chance in the future.
Because, in front of the capital of the Tang Kingdom, once the war starts, you have to fight to the death, there will be no more pastime, the biggest possibility is to die in this battle, so, take advantage of this opportunity, how much you can drink, is how much you drink!
Zhao Changqing only accompanied them for a while, then left and came to the city.
He was looking at the capital of the Tang Kingdom not far away.
Zhuge Liang was good at observing details, and after seeing the emperor quietly leaving, he also got up and left, following closely behind the emperor.
When he came to the city, Zhuge Liang asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to relax with your soldiers?"
Zhao Changqing said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if I stay there, they won't feel relaxed and happy." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and agreed: "That's right, after all, they are all courtiers loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is there, more or less, they will feel a little unable to let go." ”
Zhao Changqing asked curiously, "What about you, don't you drink, why do you come here and follow me?"
Zhuge Liang bent down and hugged his fists and said: "Seeing that Your Majesty is here alone, it seems that you have something on your mind, so I want to come and talk to Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one is as good as you Zhuge Liang when it comes to figuring out people's hearts." ”
Zhuge Liang asked: "Then now, Your Majesty can tell me, is it what you are worried about?"
Zhao Changqing said: "After some time, I will attack the capital of the Tang Kingdom, I can't help but be in a trance, when I set out on the expedition, I never thought that I could hit the capital of the Tang Kingdom so quickly, and when I first became the emperor, I didn't dare to think that one day, I would be able to compete with the Tang Kingdom." ”
At that time, the Wei State was indeed very weak.
It is so weak that in terms of comprehensive national strength, even the State of Chu is twice as strong as the State of Wei.
But in just over ten years, the Wei State has become so strong that it owns three-fifths of the world's land.
The soldiers are strong.
The hearts of the people surrendered.
All of this was unimaginable to Zhao Changqing back then.
Even if he received the task promulgated by the system, Zhao Changqing never thought about how far away he was from the day when he would dominate the world.
And now, this step is just a stone's throw away.
Zhuge Liang said: "Attacking the Tang capital is bound to be a battle of life and death, but, Your Majesty, even if we capture the Tang capital, the Tang Kingdom still has two-thirds of its territory and needs to wait for us to capture it." Only when the Tang Kingdom was destroyed to the last city and one county, it was not too late for His Majesty to sigh. ”
Zhao Changqing opened his mouth and said: "Maybe I have won too many battles, I always feel that as long as I capture the Tang capital, the entire Tang Kingdom will be in the bag." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty is right, this battle in the capital of the Tang Kingdom, in fact, will also be the last million-level war that broke out on the land of the Tang Kingdom. ”
Zhao Changqing said abruptly: "I remember that ten years ago, the Tang Kingdom already had an army of nearly two million, and the Tang Kingdom at that time definitely had the strength to sweep the world, but unfortunately, Li Qingcang didn't grasp it. In the next few years, the two countries of Pingliang and Duan, the national strength reached its peak, and finally had the strength to confront the Tang State head-on, but unfortunately in the battle of Niutou Mountain, there were some defeats, but fortunately, the final winner is still us. ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty is saying that because of Li Qingcang's defense, it has given us the opportunity to develop and grow?"
Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Actually, after the end of the battle of Niutou Mountain, Li Qingcang still has the strength to defeat our Wei State, but unfortunately, he still didn't grasp it." During the Battle of Niutou Mountain, almost all of our troops were assembled, but what about the Tang State? Not to mention that there were still 7 or 800,000 troops in the country with nothing to do, if at that time, Li Qingcang did whatever it took to conquer in person, it is estimated that in the battle of Niutou Mountain, we would have suffered a great loss of vitality, and he would have missed too many opportunities, not only this one. ”
Zhuge Liang agreed very much: "Back then, all countries sanctioned our Wei State together, and at that time, it was also the weakest moment for our Wei State, but unfortunately, Li Qingcang still failed to make a move and attack my country by the end of the road, otherwise, the Tang State would not have caused today's changes." ”
Zhao Changqing stretched out his finger and shook it up and down a few times, and said: "What you said is very reasonable, Tang Guo missed a lot of opportunities, it was obviously a very good situation, but it was all messed up by Li Qingcang, if I had the foundation of Tang Guo back then, it is estimated that I would have dominated the world a long time ago." ”
Zhuge Liang laughed.
Tonight, there are destined to be many people who can't sleep.
Li Qingcang is one of them.
In the imperial study of the Tang Imperial Palace, Li Qingcang was having a long conversation with a minister all night.
This minister is none other than Wang Yunhe, one of the Kowloon generals.
Li Qingcang was lying on the recliner, for some reason, he was a little embarrassed at the moment, and even the hair strands were clearly visible to the naked eye, with a few more strands of gray hair.
"Fang Xin is your Nine Dragon General's person, now that you are the commander of the National Soldiers and Horses, how do you deal with the matter of him losing Funing County?" Li Qingcang closed his eyes and shook the recliner.
Wang Yunhe frowned and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is currently the time to employ people, although General Fang Xin is at fault, but he can't stand the enemy's momentum as fierce as a tiger, they have many masters, when attacking the city, there are more than a dozen land immortals just invested, and General Fang Xin is really difficult to resist." Moreover, when the last general asked General Fang to defend Funing County, he did not think that Funing County could be defended. ”
Li Qingcang snorted coldly: "In the first battle of Xianyang County, all the land immortal masters in the Tang Kingdom were sent to you Jiulong General, but what was the result? More than 20 land immortals, none of them survived, and now, you are complaining that there are more land immortal masters in the Wei army?"
Wang Yunhe hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty should know very well in his heart that he lost the previous battle, and he can't blame me and others." ”
Hearing him say this, Li Qingcang frowned, suddenly got up from the recliner, and stared at Wang Yunhe.
And he looked at the emperor, his hands in the shape of fists.
After a while.
Only then did the Emperor of Tang retract his gaze and said, "In your opinion, how should the battle of guarding the capital be fought?"
Wang Yunhe said: "The last general is incompetent, and the only way to fight to the death is to fight." ”
"Fight to the death?"
Li Qingcang felt bad.
This is not the confidence to fight with the Wei army!
Wang Yunhe said firmly: "Only in this way can there be a glimmer of life, Your Majesty only needs to be in the palace, as for the war outside, Your Majesty does not need to worry about it." ”
He's a bit of a hubbuoy.
But it can't be helped.
Only in this way can the military spirit be unanimous.
Li Qingcang was a little surprised when he heard this.
Wang Yunhedao: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, and the last general will retire first." ”
After speaking, he left the imperial study without mercy.
After he walked for a while, Li Qingcang overturned the entire table in front of him, and then knocked down the vase shelf next to him, which was still angry, and the curtains of the entire room were torn and shredded by him.
The eunuchs and palace maids around them didn't dare to stop them, and they were silent one by one.
After a long time, Li Qingcang scolded angrily: "Thief! Thief! When the national disaster is at hand, the ambition has been exposed! Hmph! Sooner or later, I will kill all of you Nine Dragons!"
At this moment, he didn't know yet.
The entire palace is already three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded by soldiers.
All of them are Wang Yunhe's subordinates.
