194 The attitude of returning to the Tang Army
Attacking one's own strengths and weaknesses is the key factor in winning every war. After a brief discussion, Wei Tong and the other generals decided to separate the team. Define the next action target as towns and villages without high walls and deep trenches.
After all, they don't have the baggage and grass in the rear, and on the enemy's territory, they can't just think about it and finish it with a quick hand. They are the military force of Datang, and they are the most elite kind, so they must come up with their own strategic strength.
The proud Tang people decided to make a big fuss in Chu County and not leave. With his excellent qualities, he fought to the end with those gate valves who betrayed Datang and betrayed mankind, and made them feel unprecedented pain.
The team was divided into five parts, scattered along the quicksand river from east to west, and the land of Chu was rich, even if the villages were fought one by one, and the war would not be fed by war, they would not be starved.
However, of course, they will not make survival their goal, and since they are ace troops, of course they have to do more.
They will firmly control the communication arteries of Chudi, waiting for the opportunity to find those troops raised by the gate lords to fight in the field. In this regard, Datang's Xuanjia heavy riding has absolute superiority and self-confidence.
Based on these communication arteries, they focused on the four large cities south of the Liusha River that the cavalry could not capture at all, and the four troops would surround these large cities, constantly clearing the surrounding towns and villages, and if conditions permitted, they could also attack the county towns that were not very difficult. Wei Tong and they just wanted to use the mobility of the cavalry, and the advantage of all their Xuanjia heavy cavalry, to sweep the rebels south of the Liusha River. Trap them all in those big cities and force them to fight a decisive battle.
Of course, this is only an ideal state, as the Southern Wilderness Demon Soldiers pour into Chudi, they will face more and more enemies, and the situation will become more and more complicated. But after Wei Tong and the others discussed, they thought that even if those gate lords in Chu County had hidden power, they would not be enough to see in front of their elite Xuanjia heavy cavalry, unless they had a few people on the list.
As for the demon soldiers in the Southern Wilderness, didn't they leave the Tang Dynasty to deal with those demon soldiers? If they were able to drag those demon soldiers or even wipe them out on the south bank of the Liusha River, wouldn't that also support the defense of the Central Plains? As for the strong men in the Southern Wilderness, they believed that the truly high-end figures should all be staring at the banner of the Tang King! Besides, their own masters were also in the Southern Wilderness, and the gentlemen of the academy, the Kunlun Sword Immortals, the enemy could not ignore it.
As for the other part of the Tang army, under the leadership of Wei Tong, they looked for ways to cross the river, and persistently took those gate lords as their goals.
Although it traverses Chu County, the Liusha River is not a big river, and some of the people led by Wei Tong are the elite of the elite. Among the warriors and mages among the generals, those who can walk in the air and fly with weapons are gathered in his own team. He will search along the quicksand river to the source, and as soon as he finds a narrow place, he will organize these men to force their way and then open up a battlefield on the north bank.
Wei Tong's target was the base camp of the gate lords of Chu County, Danyang City. Although Yingcheng is the administrative center of Chu County, everyone knows that the gates of Chu County are all in Danyang City. Since it was the gate lords who rebelled, the center of the rebellion was naturally their lair.
At the beginning, Wei Tong's proposal was strongly opposed by everyone, and it was an impossible task for the four Tang armies to balance half of Chu County with less than 10,000 troops. The kind of ferry that Wei Tong wanted to find, how could it be missed by the Chu people. It is known that the enemy will definitely lay a lot of traps and step into them, so I don't know what is the purpose of such a suicide approach?
"For what!"
Wei Tong finally scolded angrily.
"Because they owe the blood debt of the Tang people, and they can only pay it with blood. Murder to pay off debts and debts, this is the reason. You are also students taught by the academy, and you should know that you can't lift a single word in everything. If we Tang people are reasonable, then we must be reasonable. We have to let those villains who dare to hurt the Tang people know that those who offend our Tang Dynasty must pay the price, this is the attitude of our Tang people, and it should be the attitude of us soldiers. β
"This attitude is extremely important!"
......
......
......
In the palace city of Chang'an, the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries quarreled in the court. Facing the empty dragon chair at the top, these ministers seemed to be able to offset the unsettled uneasiness in their hearts only with the fiercest quarrels.
The people who went to the academy to ask the master for his memory still returned in vain, and even brought back the news that the mountain behind the academy had been closed, and the academy under the mountain had been suspended, and all the students had left the school.
What does the academy mean?
Li Shiyi, the king of Tang, has always been the master of the academy. It is the two ballast stones of Datang, and now in this stormy time. One of them was besieged, and the other was not heard from. The closed door of the academy made the courtiers who were already worried have no idea.
The note sent back by Tang King Li Shiyi through the teleportation array was still firmly placed on the dragon case, but some ministers still had different views on these orders.
Among the six ministries of the three provinces, the Menxia Province, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials clearly opposed the implementation of the orders of Li Shiyi, the king of the Tang Dynasty. And their reasons are simple.
Tang Wang is a generation of god generals, and he has absolute self-confidence, but maybe this kind of self will also become a burden to him. If Your Majesty is in the way of saving face and is reckless on the front line, then these courtiers blindly use their troops to provoke the thieves, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage to Your Majesty?
"Then let those anti-thieves run rampant? What about those Tang people who died in Yingcheng, and those loyal and brave people who died in Chu Land died in vain?"
The military department Shangshu shouted excitedly.
He had already arranged for people to arrest those people in Chang'an City who had something to do with the gate lords of Chu County, who knew that the servants of the men would review the edict at this time, and call all the ministers to the front of the palace to discuss matters, otherwise those brutes from Chu County would have already fallen to the ground.
Of course, the chief officer of the military department promoted by Li Shiyi, a generation of gods, is the main battle faction, and just like Tang King Li Shiyi said, the Tang Dynasty will never negotiate with traitors, and there will be no room for consideration when dealing with these people, that is not the style of the Tang people.
"Then who is responsible for His Majesty's safety!"
The old doorman shouted with a louder voice.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if they desperately cooperated with the people of the Southern Wilderness Demon Clan and the Demon Sect to besiege Your Majesty?
"This ......"
The military department did not dare to say it, and no one could bear the responsibility of the monarch in distress. He could not say that His Majesty should be sacrificed and that we would avenge him. If he dies in the Southern Wilderness, His Majesty will not be so troublesome to avenge himself.
Your Majesty, you have a big problem for your ministers!
"So what do you say?"
The subordinate seemed to have an idea, and I saw him walk next to the generals of the main station and say.
"For the sake of today, we still have to try our best to negotiate with the people of Chu County. The strength of my Datang is still crushing compared to those gate valves in Chu County, I think as long as we are in the Chen Bing realm, we will propose to exchange the hundreds of lords in Chang'an City with them. Thinking of the combination of grace and power, the lords of Chu County did not dare to do anything to our Majesty. β
"As long as Your Majesty can return to Luan safely, my Datang will still be Datang, and it is better to reorganize the rivers and mountains and then try to forge ahead at that time than to leave Your Majesty in a dangerous place now to provoke the thieves!"
No one is willing to risk their own monarch, let alone take this responsibility. For a while, the atmosphere was a little solemn, and the people who were in charge of the battle did not dare to speak, for fear that others would misunderstand that they did not care about the life and death of the monarch.
"Stupid!"
At this moment, a shout broke the atmosphere in the temple.
I saw Tang Houye Youyi walking out of the rear and coming to the side of the dragon case. A eunuch brought an embroidered stool, but she kicked it over. I saw that the embroidered stool rolled all the way to the side of the servant under the door, and the sound of "dong dong" reverberated in the hall, which could be heard clearly.
"Tang Wang is still alive, and the edict he sent back, you have not carried it out for two days, is it true that he can't come back?"
The ministers in the temple fell to their knees and confessed their sins one after another.
"Since you know that you are a minister, then it is better to do your duty as a courtier! In this autumn of life and death, you stay here one by one, waiting to eat the severed head!"
Ye Youyi picked up the edict transmitted back by King Tang and slapped it heavily on the dragon case.
"!"
The doorman suddenly knelt on the ground and said with a howl.
"Your Majesty is still in the enemy's formation, Niangniang and Your Majesty have been married for more than 20 years, can you watch him being besieged by the anti-thieves, the Southern Wilderness, and the Demon Sect!
"Anyway?"
Ye Youyi pointed at him and scolded.
"What does it mean in any case? Can we exchange our abandoned sons who paralyzed our Chu County gate lords in the city for an emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Can we exchange it for the southern border army, one of the humerus bones of the Tang Dynasty? Can we exchange it for the souls who died in Chu? Can we exchange it for the iron-clad integrity of the Tang Dynasty?"
Ye Youyi walked in front of the ministers and looked at the servants kneeling at his feet.
"I don't know if you're too naΓ―ve or old, I'm a harem woman can understand things, don't you court officials still understand? Or your backbone can no longer support your body bones, and you can only lie on the ground on your stomach. What about the integrity of the Tang people? What about the pride of the Tang people? Can't even I, a woman from the Yan Kingdom, catch up?"
These few sentences are really too heavy, so heavy that every Tang person is red-faced.
"Hahahaha!"
The doorman on the ground suddenly burst out laughing, he propped himself up, tried to stand up, looked at Ye Youyi and said.
Niangniang finally said what was in her heart. Don't look at the fact that you have lived with Your Majesty for so many years, but you still regard yourself as a Yan person in your heart. You still remember that His Majesty killed the Yan army without leaving a piece of armor, forcing your father to make peace with his relatives. β
The servant walked up to Ye Youyi and said.
"I don't think you want Your Majesty to come back at all!"
