retaliate

Chapter 1336
If he could defeat the Northern Border Army, there would be no threat to the south of Guanzhong, so Shi Zhongtang could concentrate on managing Guanzhong and his imperial foundation.When the time comes, he can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Shi Gongming had thought about this situation.

But what about the Northern Xinjiang Army?
If it is defeated, the Northern Border Army will inevitably flee all the way.

Shi Zhongtang definitely wanted to chase and kill them, but there were some rebellions in the south that needed to be suppressed.The forces in Guanzhong are complicated and need to be suppressed and reconciled...

He has more than enough heart but not enough energy.

But the north is too wide, if Li Xuan is allowed to escape into the north, it only takes a few years to recuperate, and a big enemy will reappear.

This is what Shi Zhongtang does not want to see.

Therefore, it was Shi Zhongtang's helpless move to let Shi Gongming go north to attack the northern border, and it was also the most favorable situation for him at the moment.

Therefore, his promise is sincere.

North!
Shi Jian's eyes were red.

"Aye!"

Zhao Xuan glanced at Shi Jian, thinking that this person is so eager, it can be seen that Shi Gongming often talked about his ambitions on weekdays.

In this way, Shi Gongming will definitely agree.

Shi Gongming said in a deep voice: "This old man, let me think twice!"

——Even if Shi Gongming is willing, he will be reserved.

This is Shi Zhongtang's analysis.

Sure enough, as the king expected!
Zhao Xuan said with a smile: "It happened that I was tired all the way, by the way, do you have good wine?"

"Come here, take the messenger to rest. Just take the fine wine." Shi Gongming nodded.

Zhao Xuan cupped his hands, "So, the next official will wait for my husband's reply."

"It's easy to say!" Shi Gongming was very polite.

The event is settled!

Zhao Xuan was delighted.

……

"Shi Gongming's Yandong army has been attacking Daizhou for a long time."

In the city of Daozhou, inside the state.

Li Xuangao sat on the top, and civil and military officials stood in two rows below.

Han Ji said: "Once the Yandong army goes down to Daizhou, Lizhou will be threatened. Our army's food roads will be in danger of being cut off."

"Shi Gongming can even flank our army." Jiang Cunzhong said: "This is the biggest variable in this battle."

He Lianrong said: "Shi Zhongtang will not let go of this opportunity."

Everyone nodded.Shi Zhongtang is a veteran general, and he will not fail to see this opportunity to change the general situation.

"For Shi Gongming, it would be the best if he could go north. But it must be the defeat of our northern army." Pei Jian said: "Shi Zhongtang will definitely send lobbyists to analyze the overall situation. At present, we The army stationed in Daozhou, threatened Yuezhou, and built the state. Shi Zhongtang had to go out for a decisive battle. If Shi Gongming could attack Lizhou, our army would be passive. In this way, the rebels have a good grasp of this battle. Shi Zhongtang We will inevitably lure them with profit, for example, use the north as a bait to drive Shi Gongming to send troops."

"What happened to Daizhou?" Someone asked: "Shi Gongming has been attacking for a long time, is Daizhou so strong?"

Han Ji smiled, "Daizhou has long been dilapidated. Yandong's army has been attacking for a long time and has not broken the city. It is not because Daizhou's army is fierce and tenacious, but because Shi Gongming is too cautious."

He pointed to the map, "Jinyiwei had news at the beginning that Daizhou was about to fall, but our army then broke through Lizhou and marched to the south. After that, Daizhou seemed to have taken Shiquan Dabu pills, and the more guarded The more stable. Before the Daozhou war, Daizhou was in danger again. After Ashina Yanrong was defeated, Daizhou stabilized the situation again..."

Wang Laoer blurted out, "Isn't this just for fun?"

"Yes." Han Ji said sarcastically, "Shi Gongming wants to do great things, but he spares his life. He is too timid."

Pei Jian said: "Another reason why Shi Gongming did not intervene in the battle situation in the previous two times is that Shi Zhongtang did not try his best."

After breaking through Guanzhong, Shi Zhongtang went to Chang'an.Then he focused on suppressing and reconciling all parties in Guanzhong, and left the battle to his subordinates.

"This opportunity is rare!" He Lianrong said, "I'm afraid Shi Gongming will be tempted."

"Maybe let this person surrender?" someone asked.

Han Ji shook his head, "Shi Gongming's rebellion is a rebellion, and Shi Zhongtang is naturally an ally. His Highness is Datang Zhengshuo, so naturally he cannot join the rebels."

Good and evil are not at odds!
If Li Xuan joins forces with Shi Gongming, everyone in the world will stab him in the back.

"This matter must be destroyed!" Han Ji said.

Pei Jian nodded, "Otherwise, if Lizhou is threatened, the army will be shaken. This battle will be difficult."

"How did this go wrong?"

"Maybe assassinate Shi Zhongtang's envoy?"

Everyone looked at Helianyan.

That's what Jin Yiwei does.

"This is the general trend." Qin Wang said lightly: "It cannot be changed by a few secret spies."

This matter is related to the general situation of the world, even if Jin Yiwei's secret agent assassinated Shi Zhongtang's envoy, Shi Gongming would be tempted by the interests.

"The so-called general trend is driven by interests. Yandong is cramped, and Shi Gongming has long wanted to expand, but to the south is Shi Zhongtang's territory, and he has no courage. To the north, my northern army is here, how dare he? So, Yandong has become a corner of the land, and it is difficult to compete for the world."

The King of Qin pointed at the map casually, "Shi Zhongtang's move is to drive them away with profit, and Shi Gongming will definitely agree."

He looked at the martial arts under his command, "You only thought of destruction, but why did you destroy it?"

Everyone was stunned.

The king of Qin said: "I am alone, the army is alone, let him come a few ways, and go away with one punch!"

……

"Aye, what a rare opportunity!"

In the big tent, Shi Jian said excitedly: "Once Lizhou is threatened, the morale of the northern army will be chaotic. The southern army will be dispatched from Guanzhong. How can the chaotic northern army be able to fight against it? Once the northern army is defeated, we will It will be able to follow the trend and sweep the north! Aye, it's a great situation!"

Shi Gongming was silent.

Xie Zhong said: "Master, after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, the general situation of the world will be difficult to change. I am cramped in Yandong, and if I want to expand, the only way is to go north!"

"The old man knows." Shi Gongming pondered for a long time, and said for a long time: "That Shi Zhongtang was just a shepherd at the beginning. By chance, he joined the Southern Border Army. ..."

It was only then that everyone discovered that Shi Zhongtang was really lucky!

Is this God's will?
"Old man, don't accept it!" Shi Gongming raised his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with flames, "Li Bi is in a daze, and the Tang Dynasty is declining. I seem to have seen the moment when the country is overthrown. The old man is in charge of the land of Yandong, holding the army in his hand, facing How can you not be indifferent to such a situation? But the old man made many plans, but was suppressed by two forces, one from the south and one from the north. Old man, don’t accept it!"

Xie Zhong had tears in his eyes. As Shi Gongming's think tank, he knew all the difficulties.

It can be said that Shi Gongming did not work hard, nor did he have a bad vision.

He has long seen the irresistible trend of Datang's decline, and started preparations early.

What do you need to compete in the world?
Money, food, army, talents...

He has worked hard on the money and food, but the fucking Changan Household Department gave most of the money and food to Nanjiang, but no one gave him a second look.

As for the army, Yandong is not barren, but it is not rich either.In addition, Shi Gongming was cautious and refused to give anyone an excuse, so the speed of military expansion was slow.

As for talents, Shi Gongming had already recruited those great talents, but when he heard that they belonged to Yandong, he was not interested at all.

Speaking of it, all this is tears!
"Aye, we just need to come to Lizhou and sit back and watch." Shi Jian advised.

Xie Zhong said: "Don't just sit back and watch, otherwise you will be regarded as two ends of the first mouse. After the war is over, Shi Zhongtang will not spare me, Yandong."

If you are betrayed, you have to give benefits, there is no such thing as a good thing.

Shi Gongming took a deep breath, "Tell the envoy that within five days, the old man will destroy Daizhou!"

It's a promise!

……

"it is good!"

Zhao Xuan, who was drinking, got the news, smashed his wine glass immediately, and said in high spirits: "Mr. Shi is a hero, I will report to the king now!"

……

Shi Gongming made up his mind and immediately ordered his subordinates to rush to attack the city.

Yandong's army changed its lazy appearance and frequently attacked the city. The defenders were stunned by such a wave of unreasonable assaults.

"My lord, be careful!"

Zhang Ling, the governor of Daizhou, was pulled by the other king Shu, and stumbled back, and then a throwing spear thrown from nowhere was nailed to the place where he was standing before.

Zhang Lin shook off Wang Shu's hand and roared, "Counterattack! Counterattack!"

The reserve team rushed to the top of the city and strangled with the rebels.

Wang Shu said: "My lord, the rebels have gone crazy."

"They have been keeping their strength!" Zhang Lin had thought about Shi Gongming's mentality countless times during this period of defending the city, and he clearly said, "Shi Gongming wants to sit and watch the battle between the rebels in the southern border and the army in the northern border. Advance and retreat depending on the situation. Now that he suddenly goes crazy, there is only one possibility, the situation is about to change."

"Is this going to be a big fight?" Wang Shu's face was ashen, "But what should we do?"

"What can we do?" Zhang Lin said with a miserable smile: "Yandong rebelled, Lizhou was lost, and Daizhou became a lone army. There was the Northern Frontier Army in the past, and Yandong's rebellion in the future. We can defend as long as we can. "

Someone said: "My lord, where are the reinforcements in the court?"

Zhang Lin drew his sword, "There will be no more reinforcements."

Wang Shu ignored his scruples and said: "Your Majesty abandoned Chang'an and fled to Shu. He is in danger, so where can he get reinforcements?"

Daizhou is dead!
Everyone's faces turned pale.

"For the Tang Dynasty!"

Zhang Lin shouted and rushed up with the reserve team.

But before that, he shouted for His Majesty!

……

The army has already left Chang'an.

Halfway, Zhao Xuan sent a fast horse to arrive.

"My lord, Shi Gongming said that Daizhou will be broken within five days."

"Okay!" Shi Zhongtang smiled to the left and right, and said calmly: "That's it, the overall situation is settled."

He Zun said: "We still have to beware of the sudden launch of the northern army."

Wei Ming said indifferently: "The scouts have been watching them all the time. Wherever Li Xuan wants to raid, it is difficult to hide from our army's eyes and ears."

……

Yuezhou.

Since the last big defeat, Governor Qian Song scolded Ashina Yanrong for three days in the prefecture.

Then, Ashina Yanrong's envoy came and proposed to let Daozhou take the blame, Qian Song stopped yelling.

"The king has sent troops."

In the prefecture, Qian Song's eyes sparkled, "This is a good time for me to avenge my shame in Yuezhou. When the army goes out, the Northern Army will definitely fight. And my Yuezhou is behind the Northern Army, so we can make a surprise attack or attack..."

The crowd cheered.

"Let people go to Guanzhong to report to the king, and say, I am going to Yuezhou to fight! Old man, I am willing to die for the king!"

"Leader!"

Qian Song got up, and said every word, "This battle is a shame!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell came.

"This is the warning bell!"

Tan Yun stood up abruptly, and shouted outside: "Go and ask!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell was still ringing persistently.

Qian Song said angrily, "Go and have a look."

He walked out of the lobby first, and everyone followed behind.

The sound of horseshoes stopped outside the state house, and then a sergeant ran in staggeringly. After seeing Qian Song, he said with a panicked expression: "Enemy attack!"

"What enemy attack?" Qian Song asked.

……

Outside Yuezhou city, hundreds of Yuezhou scouts rushed towards the city.

It seemed that there were ghosts and ghosts chasing him behind him.

Not far away, Wang Laoer and his Rangers were wantonly killing the lagging enemy troops.

Qian Song led his men to the top of the city.

"It's the Rangers of the Northern Border Army!"

The guard at the top of the city reported.

"It's just a ranger, why warn?" Tan Yun shook his head, a little dissatisfied, "Master, after the defeat last time, the army was a little scared, so we have to think of a way."

The guard said, "That's Wang Lao Er."

"So what?" Tan Yun shouted.

"The appearance of Wang Laoer means that Li Xuan is here."

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and then, countless cavalry rushed out of the horizon.

The banner of rebellion is fluttering in the wind.

"It's Li Xuan!" Qian Song's face was pale, "Go quickly, before the siege is closed, go and report to the king, the northern border army is besieging the city, and Yuezhou is in danger!"
