retaliate

Chapter 1311 Battle
Chang Sheng's cultivation was so advanced that in the early morning of the second day, when Li Xuan was eating breakfast, he could still hear his miserable howling.

"Your Majesty said at the beginning that if outsiders get involved in the court, they probably have impure thoughts." Lin Feibao said bitterly: "Now it seems that it is so."

"What he said has come true, but others are lying in Gongling, and will never see this scene again."

Li Xuan was thinking about that father's past.

He keenly saw the hidden worries in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and put forward many suggestions in advance.

But apparently his efforts were in vain.

Li Xuan took a look at Chang Sheng, and at this moment the wooden stake was not going deep.

"Sure enough, the cultivation base is profound." Li Xuan praised, "Come here, add clothes to the real man!"

……

"Duke, there have been repeated incidents in the south, and those demoted officials have rioted one after another."

Everyone looked at Dou Zhong.

"There is not much food left. Your Majesty asked the general, should we go to war, or... wait until the food runs out without fighting?"

Liang Jing said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Dou Zhong is most likely planning to rebel."

……

The king of Yue came to ask for an audience, and when he heard about it, he took the initiative to hand over the grain stored in the mansion.

"Money and food? Tell Your Majesty, it will be unsustainable for up to ten days."

He burned some paper money outside the hall where he was confined.

Chun Yu said: "Let's guard the south and watch Li Xuan and Chang'an fight."

Just as Liang Jing opened his mouth, an old minister flew over and covered his mouth, saying, "My Prime Minister Liang! Don't say it, don't say it."

"Is there no food?" Even though he knew that sooner or later this would happen, when the news came, Dou Zhong still felt as if he had received a heavy blow.

The Supreme Emperor sighed, "The majesty of the emperor is not simple. When the dynasty was at its peak, the prestige of the emperor came naturally. It was like this before."

The generals just laughed.

"Alright." The emperor smiled very relieved.

"Dog thief!"

Dou Chong's eyes were dark.

"Zhen, I really think that if I can't breathe like this, I'll be fine if I die."

"Is it over yet? You can't get up in one breath, old thing."

Shi Zhongtang fell into deep self-doubt, but he was a hero after all, and he quickly walked out of that depressed mood.

"Of course you hate it, otherwise why did you try your best to let that child leave Chang'an."

Thousands of sergeants shouted and shouted at the door, and the soldiers who closed the door were furious.

The emperor naturally knew, "When the majesty of the emperor is gone, the courtiers will have different thoughts."

"Domineering!" Dou Zhong waved his hand, "Kill it."

"Ten days?" Han Shitou couldn't help being shocked.

In an instant, the room smelled of blood.

"The north and the south are cut off, and there is not much food in Chang'an."

……

Dou Zhong knew that since he resisted the order, there was no room for change with Chang'an, either the emperor killed him, or he killed the emperor.

"What?"

……

There is a third option, self-reliance.

"The lower officials only obey the orders of the palace!" Ma Chong thought to himself, do you still dare to kill the old man for this reason.

After the emperor left, the Supreme Emperor stood up, "Prepare some joss paper money."

"Duke, why don't you go back to the teacher!"

"Tell Your Majesty, minister, obey!"

A team of knives and axes rushed in from outside.

Ma Chong saluted, and he was so polite that no one could fault him.

"Don't worry about him!"

Shi Zhong Tang raised troops on the side of the Qing emperor, and most of the troops were foreigners. Naturally, he had no objection, and was even very happy, hoping to go to Chang'an to plunder.

"You must be happy! Hahahaha!"

Everyone knows that seven or eight days is a dangerous number.

"Thousands of miles in the fertile fields?" Yang Songcheng stroked his beard, with some sarcasm in his eyes. "But how many people do we need to support in Guanzhong? There was not enough food in Guanzhong a hundred years ago, and they were all transported from various places.

"You think too much." The emperor said lightly: "Now the situation is critical. I expect that Ding Dou will not dare to rebel at this moment, but Tai Ah has been holding back for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will have other thoughts. There is no danger in Chang'an , once Dou Chong strikes back, Changan can't stop it."

Dou Zhong rubbed his face with his hands, making his old face flushed.

As a result, Dou Zhong eliminated the threat from his rear.

Yang Songcheng was still the same, looking very calm.

"you dare!"

"The old man concluded that Li Mi will definitely urge Dou Zhong to fight, not only because people are jealous, but because there is no food in Chang'an!"

"You can't do much." The Supreme Emperor pondered for a long time, took a sip of his drink, "Defense is impossible."

But Yang Songcheng said ten days.

Luoyang originally had a granary that could support millions of people.But now that the Luoyang channel is cut off, where can I get food?You came just in time, tell Your Majesty that in ten days, you will either go out to eat, or... just prepare to be hungry! "

"But if we go to battle..." the staff member said melancholy, "I'm afraid it's a trap."

He Zun shook the cattail fan under the gate, and said with a smile.

"Half a month, it should be almost there."

"Who are you going to worship? Ah Weng and grandmother?" The emperor said coldly: "At this moment, if you stop in the imperial city, the whole Chang'an will guess that something happened to me."

Although the [-] troops were under the command of Dou Zhong, the leading generals were Liang Jing's men, and they did not listen to Dou Zhong's orders at all.

On this point, Li Yuan and his son have the same aspirations.

The emperor took a deep look at the Supreme Emperor, "I understand."

The envoy retired, and the staff said, "It must not be that urgent."

There are only a few thousand people, and there are more than [-] troops in Jiagu Pass, one person and one foot can trample these dogs to death.

Therefore, when the news of the dissatisfaction of the people in southern Xinjiang came, Shi Zhongtang doubted his decision to raise troops for the first time.

The emperor rubbed his forehead, "Ask the head of the country, how much grain is there?"

The Supreme Emperor squatted down with difficulty, and inserted a few sticks of incense, "Brother, do you hate me?"

"Luoyang used to be a big granary in Chang'an. Luoyang was captured by our army, and Chang'an's food and grass were cut off. The old man sent people to Chang'an to inquire about it, and bribed the officials of the Ministry of Households to interrogate. Chang'an's grain storage can last half a month at most."

"Don't think I don't know, you've been jealous of Uncle." The emperor said coldly, "Otherwise, when I opened my mouth, you wouldn't have nodded in unreserved restraint and harmed your elder brother."

"That brat! I seem to see him gnashing his teeth. He is waiting to catch our father and son. He will cut us to pieces. Erlang, stop it..."

"Hahahaha!"

"If you retreat, the morale of the soldiers under your command will be wiped out." Shi Zhongtang considered more, "It's hard to get up, but easy to get down. On the side of Qing Jun, you can advance, but you can't retreat."

There are thousands of enemy troops outside the city.

……

But the people in southern Xinjiang are different. Most of them are people from the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, Shi Zhongtang is a foreign race, so he is not caring!

The news from Chang'an was not good. Although the emperor said that the 3000 people were entrusted to him to command, Liang Jing had publicly attacked him in the court, saying that he had the intention of treason.

The former Tang Dynasty was stable, and this was the foundation, which made the emperor as stable as a mountain.

"I have seen the general."

Shut that crow's mouth of yours!

The emperor went to the harem.

The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "What's the use of knowing? Let me tell you, Shi Ni is a foreigner after all, and the people of the world will oppose him, so even if he attacks sharply, he still can't make a fortune. But that little boy is different, Erlang, that is filial piety." The child of my brother, he carries the blood of his brother...he will become a serious problem."

The Taishanghuang's words were transmitted to the emperor without missing a word.

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is completely lost in the north and south, the country is not a country. You are still hiding in the pear orchard for pleasure. This is stupid. The world is chaotic and the emperor is stupid. You are taking the initiative to convey ambition to your courtiers. To be honest, Aye, if you look at it In the situation of Datang, I don't know if I will regret it, anyway, I regret it."

Shi Zhongtang couldn't stop in the camp, and the news from all parties showed that the officials who were newly attached to him were restless, and many of them had already raised their troops.

Ma Chong drew his sword and jumped up.

But if the battle is defeated...

Dou Zhong said lightly: "The old man ordered you to lead the army to Jiagu Pass, but you turned a deaf ear to it. Is this taking the old man's general order as a joke?"

Ma Chong was domineering and beheaded by Dou Zhong.

"Let him discuss the matter."

Has it come to such a situation?
Han Shitou went back to report.

"I knew it, the food and grass were hard to sustain!"

"This army was wrong?"

The loud laughter startled a confined concubine.

"I have the numbers."

The emperor sighed, "20 soldiers eat horse chews, which is an astonishing number every day. It's hard to be the head of the country."

"If we can't break Jiagu Pass, with Li Xuan at our side, our army will have nowhere to go. We can only go back and wipe out the rebels."

"Dou Zhong is alert. I have recruited more than ten thousand warriors, so he tried to find out, and wanted these ten thousand warriors. I have to give..."

"Now he is coming, brother, are you happy?"

The laughter remained the same, and it took a long time before it stopped.

"I'm jealous, but you hate it." The Supreme Emperor laughed and said, "You hate that you don't have a father like your elder brother, you hate that you have a father who treats Ye Niang like me, hahahaha!"

"Guanzhong Woyeqianli..." said the accompanying servant.

"Can you support 20 troops?"

If he can defeat the rebels, Dou Zhong's prestige will be in full swing.

"There are still seven or eight days of grain left."

"But the north and the south are cut off, and it is a fact that Chang'an is short of food." Dou Zhong knows this, "The cutoff of Luoyang is the most deadly."

"That's why I would rather abandon the south than dispatch a large army to the Zhangzhou area to stop him from going south."

"There are two options right now, either wait until the army runs out of food and collapse without a fight, or you can only put all your eggs in one basket... go to war!"

"The communication between the north and the south was cut off, and the food in Shu couldn't be sent out."

At this moment, the positions of the two sons-in-law are the same.

"Erlang, I want to visit the Taimiao." The Taishanghuang looked at the emperor.

The Supreme Emperor laughed and drank.

The envoy was very stubborn this time, and wrote a suicide note before leaving.

The palace people stood on the side, watching this former self-esteem talking to himself.

"Dou Zhong?" Taishang Huang said lightly while drinking wine: "In this situation, unless you let Han Shitou lead the army, whoever you change will have a different heart. Do you know why?"

Chunyu scratched his head, "What if Nanjiang is also reversed?"

A feeling that the building is about to collapse arises spontaneously.

He asked the little official who was leading the way. The little official looked around and said, "Many of them have asked for leave."

Dou Zhong was also watching, and his subordinates asked for a fight, but he refused without hesitation, "We just need to hold on."

The Supreme Emperor looked into the distance, "Brother, you always say that I am worthless, look, you really hit the mark."

Once the food is cut off, the army will collapse in an instant.

"Actually, I can kill myself. I have knives, ropes and everything, but I can't do it."

He said to the emperor: "Back then Prime Minister Liang said that Shi Zhongtang was going to rebel against Tang, and Shi Ni really did. Now..."

The [-] troops officially belonged to Dou Zhong's command.

He Zun was just under Guan, and said to his subordinates: "Continue to show off your might, let Guan Guan see our strength."

Dou Zhong raised his head, and there was a touch of determination on that old red face that was rubbed, "I will definitely defeat the rebels!"

"Ask He Zun, what's going on over there?"

Soon, the horse rushed.

Han Shitou went to the household department in person, and found something was wrong as soon as he entered, how deserted.

"If you were able to compromise with Beijiang in the first place, why did you come to this?" The Supreme Emperor sneered, and then sighed: "Now there is only one way."

"I heard that there is not enough food in Chang'an?"

He Zun made people reply: "Duke, don't worry."

Immediately, the envoy went to Jiagu Pass.

"At the beginning, my elder brother said that the East Palace is not a comfortable place, and he was worried in the East Palace. I didn't believe it at the time, and thought he was hypocritical. Now, all this has come true."

At this point in the world, there is already a mess of cooking porridge.

"Tell the Duke, it's time to prepare."

He Zun smiled.

Oh oh oh!
Before the words fell, the horns on the top of the city blew.

In the early summer of the 15th year of the Dagan, Jiaguguan defenders took the initiative to fight because they could not sustain their food and grass.
