retaliate

Chapter 1345
The army is mighty, marching along the official road.

He Zun smiled and said: "It was probably the same when Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty left the customs!"

When the Li family attacked Guanzhong, they took Guanzhong as their foundation and watched the changes in the world.In the end, the army went out of the customs and settled the country.

Shi Zhongtang felt this way at this moment.

At such times, the superiors actually need their subordinates to flatter them and scratch their itch.

Even a wise man like His Highness the King of Qin needs a few words of praise from Jiang He'er to feel at ease.

This is human nature.

But under Shi Zhongtang's command, only He Zun has the ability to observe words and emotions, and can know his mind.

When one's itchy spot is frequently tickled by a courtier, this courtier becomes an indispensable person in the eyes of the superior.

There are two completely different titles for this kind of person: Mingchen and Chengchen.

As for which category it belongs to, it depends more on the ending and the historian's pen.

Only then did the others think of this, and they all praised the significance of this dispatch, and looked forward to the bright future of this battle.

"The attention of the world!"

He Zun summed up the significance of this battle in four words.

……

In the fleeing team, some people fell down from time to time.

Those who fell will be buried on the spot. If you want to find a gentleman to do things, you have to find a place with good geomantic omen to bury, that's not the case.

Zhou Qin was reading a book in the carriage.

"Aye!"

Zhou Zun said outside the car: "A messenger is here."

"This is the battle report from Guanzhong!" Zhou Qin put down the book, "Shi Zhongtang's problem is that he can't abandon the southern border. Therefore, if Zitai breaks Daozhou, he must go to battle."

The messenger arrived at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the rebels have assembled and are heading towards Jiagu Pass."

The emperor was also reading, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes, and Limang flashed by.

"Are you going to fight?"

Immediately, the emperor summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters.

Zhou Zun was also called.

Naturally, there is no hall on the official road, but a space surrounded by cloth curtains, where the emperor and his ministers discuss.

"The rebels gathered and went to Jiagu Pass. This is a gesture of leaving the pass for a decisive battle."

"Daozhou was destroyed, Shi Zhongtang had to fight."

"The key is, who can win this battle!"

Everyone was silent.

Shi Zhongtang won, and he will continue to hunt them down later.

Moreover, they can no longer counterattack key points.

What if King Qin wins?
Guanzhong will change hands sooner or later.

King Qin controls Guanzhong...

That man was playing against the banner of rebellion.

Filial piety to the emperor's experience back then is inseparable from the Taishanghuang and the emperor.

As a son of man, if he cannot avenge his father, everyone in the world will poke his back.

Once Li Xuan is in charge of Guanzhong, he will definitely attack Shuzhong to avenge his father.

Everyone looked at each other.

The emperor felt the atmosphere and asked, "Zhang Qing."

Zhang Huan, who had always wanted to lie down and pretend to die, sighed in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, there are more than 8 rebels, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is going south. It is difficult to supply. This battle will not exceed [-] horses."

"Continue!" The emperor said lightly.

"The Northern Army holds Daozhou in their hands and has a foundation. But the biggest trouble in this battle is that the Northern Army is caught in a pincer attack from the north and the south." Zhang Huan coughed dryly, "As for the outcome, I dare not forget my words."

The old man introduced the situation, as for the follow-up, it depends on God's will!

"In other words, Yang Ni is in adversity?" Zheng Qi asked.

"It can be said like this." Zhang Huan said.

More than [-] are against [-] to [-], and the rebels have a strategic advantage.

"When it comes to the weather, the northern border army is used to the bitter cold, so the weather is unfavorable."

General Youwuwei Chen Xiao knew what the emperor wanted to know, "In terms of geography, the situation of the northern army is not good. In terms of harmony, the northern army is coming from afar..."

The right time, place and people are all on the side of the rebels.

This battle!
it goes without saying!

The emperor nodded, "The ancestors protect you."

The ministers dispersed.

Stepping out of the curtain, Zhou Zun glanced back, and saw the figure of the emperor standing up slowly in the curtain.

The one next to him must be Han Shishi!
The emperor raised his head, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I'd rather hide in the land of Shu and see that scoundrel defeated!"

……

"The road to Shu is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Shi Zhongtang won this battle, and he will not rush to attack Shu. Therefore, we can live on for a few more years."

"Yes!"

Two officials passed by the carriage.

Zhao Sanfu sat on the carriage, his legs were swinging, and he said, "What will happen in this battle?"

On the other side, Zheng Yuandong said: "Only ask Huang Chunhui!"

Zhao Sanfu shook his head, "I don't have this friendship."

"Look, Liang Jing has gone."

Zhao Sanfu saw Liang Jing walking back in a hurry, and couldn't help sighing: "This person is actually suitable to be a friend!"

……

Huang Chunhui basks in the sun when he has nothing to do, and his children and grandchildren don't bother him, which is quite comfortable.

Lying on the cart, the sun shone warmly on the chest and abdomen, and the somewhat cold insides gradually warmed up, making me feel very comfortable.

Back then, he was severely injured by He Lianhong's master. Although he had been recuperating for treatment, he could not fully recover after all.

"Aye."

Huang Lu came over, "Liang Jing is here."

"Oh!"

Huang Chunhui sat up with drooping eyelids.

Huang Lu wanted to help him, but Liang Jing was faster, stepped forward a few steps, and held Huang Chunhui's arm, "Slow down, slow down."

Huang Chunhui nodded, "I'm sorry, Prime Minister Liang."

"It should." Liang Jing smiled bluntly, "Just now there was news that the rebels had assembled and rushed to Jiagu Pass. Both the court and the central government judged that this meant a decisive battle."

"Are they not optimistic about the Northern Army?" Huang Chunhui asked.

"Yes. It is said that the right time, place and people are all on the side of the rebels." Liang Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Stone Ni, who is a dog, is still so good as a rebel."

Huang Chunhui smiled.

"Huang Xiang, how do you feel about this battle?" Liang Jing was a little apprehensive.

If Shi Zhong and Tang Dasheng win, the fate of their siblings will not be good.

"What is the right time, place, and harmony?" Huang Chunhui asked himself and answered, "In the final analysis, it is to create various conditions to give ourselves an advantage before the war."

Is the old man going to teach me a lesson?
Liang Jing sat down very respectfully, and almost took out a pen and paper to record.

"Northern Xinjiang has faced the threat of Northern Liao for many years. For so many years, our soldiers in Northern Xinjiang have long been accustomed to the so-called situation where the right time, the right place, and the people are all in the enemy's hands."

Huang Chunhui took the tea from Huang Lu and took a sip.

"They counted everything, but they missed one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Shi Ni's army was a rebellion, for his own selfishness. How many murders have been caused during this journey? Zitai's army is to fight for rebellion. He is a noble man, and it is natural for him to raise troops. He raised troops for the sake of Great righteousness! Shi Ni is evil, Zi Tai is righteous!"

"Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good!"

……

"It is said that the rebels are gathering to prepare for a decisive battle."

Huahua who was working did not turn her head when she heard a word from behind, "Got it."

She glanced at where the emperor was, and said in a low voice, "Your happy days are getting closer and closer!"

……

Tu Chang led an army to attack the rebels, and Wei Ming retreated.

Wei Ming led his army to retreat until they encountered Shi Zhongtang's army.

"That Tushang led tens of thousands of troops to attack, the minister is incompetent!"

Wei Ming knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Shi Zhongtang on horseback narrowed his eyes, "Why don't you be alert?"

"That Tushang used his troops quickly, and the scouts didn't have time to warn them."

"Incompetent!" Shi Zhongtang said flatly.

"Yes!" Wei Ming bowed his head, the gloom in his eyes became more and more intense.

With all the civil and military officials present, Shi Zhongtang's incompetence made Wei Ming ashamed.

Prestige is difficult to build, but easy to weaken.

"Big army, advance slowly."

Following Shi Zhongtang's order, scouts and rangers attacked one after another.

"My lord, the army led by Li Xuan is ten miles away."

"move on!"

Shi Zhongtang said: "The closer he gets to Jiagu Pass, the greater the danger of being flanked."

……

"Your Highness, Shi Zhongtang's army is here."

This news came back with Tu Chang and Wang Lao Er.

"There are too many people and horses to see clearly."

"Okay!" Li Xuan's purpose was to break Shi Zhongtang's calmness in waiting for the opportunity in Jiagu Pass.

When Shi Zhongtang left the customs, there was no room for maneuver.

Strategic initiative, finally balanced.

Li Xuan said, "Retreat."

If the army fought decisively here, Jianzhou, Yuezhou... would be his enemies.

Only when it is close to Daozhou can the Northern Xinjiang Army have a foundation.

His eyes are deep, his expression is calm, and his gestures are naturally majestic, which is heart-wrenching.

The army moved slowly.

Wang Laoer and Tu Chang came.

And Fu Heng.

"Your Highness, thanks to Lao Fu." Wang Er Er dragged the injured Fu Heng over.

"Oh!" Li Xuan asked, "But did you rush in?"

"How can there be?" Wang Laoer said: "They dispatched monks, but luckily Lao Fu made the move and blocked me later, otherwise... His Highness would definitely not be able to see me."

Fu Heng looked a little cramped... God pity, he is a monk who can calmly attack Ning Yayun!
For some reason, when facing Li Xuan, he was a little nervous.

Li Xuan nodded, "Okay!"

Then the army retreated slowly.

Fu Heng returned to the Yunshan monks.

"How is the injury?" Guo Yunhai asked.

"One slap, two slashes." Fu Heng said without changing his face.

A disciple came over to treat his wound.

An elder murmured, "Your Highness is an understatement."

"shut up!"

Guo Yunhai stopped the elder, and then said: "Your Highness, this person is extremely protective of his own people. The more polite he is to you, the less he treats you as his own. Think about it, if your relatives help you , do you still have to thank him at length?"

"No." The elder suddenly realized, "This is..."

"Good luck, old man!" Guo Yunhai said with a smile, "I have been thinking about how to get close to the people around His Highness, but I never thought of it! It was you who opened the door."

Fu Heng said indifferently: "The old man didn't think about these things, he just saw that he made a move, that's all."

……

"Your Majesty, the northern army is retreating slowly."

The scouts brought news of the retreat of the Northern Army.

He Zun said: "When the army leaves the customs, Li Xuan's goal will be achieved. He is retreating at this moment, he must want to get close to Daozhou and fight our army. In this way, there is support around him, and the food and road are safe."

The northern border army is in an unfamiliar environment. Before the war, the most critical thing is the food road.

Shi Zhongtang said: "The weather is cool in the morning and evening. This is the best time for a decisive battle. When the scouts came to report, Li Mi slowed down the pace of escape, just waiting for the result of this battle. Shi Gongming returned to Huizhou, he licked I'm licking my wounds, and I'm also waiting for the result of this battle..."

"There are [-] troops in the northern border, including more than [-] death battalions. In addition, Xuanjiaqi is also there."

He Zun glanced at Ashina Zheming, Xuan Jiaqi's opponents were them.

Ashina Zheming said indifferently: "Tiger and leopard riders have practiced hard for a long time, and they have never met an opponent in this fight. Old man, I look forward to it!"

"Zheming is always so confident, which makes me happy!" Shi Zhongtang loved Ash Zheming very much.

There was more gloom in Wei Ming's eyes.

The army marched slowly until Jianzhou.

Ashina Yanrong came out to welcome him.

"Minister, incompetent!"

He is pleading guilty for the defeat of Daozhou.

Shi Zhongtang dismounted and helped him up with his own hands, "People are not sages, who can do nothing? You are loyal to this king, and this king knows it all."

Ashina Yanrong's eyes filled with tears, he choked up and said, "I wish I could die fighting for the king right now!"

"To die in battle? It's still early!" Shi Zhongtang patted him on the shoulder, and glanced at Wei Ming, "This king hopes that you can start well and end well."

Wei Ming lowered his head.

These words are hitting him.

Shi Zhongtang's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Let He Xiyan prepare the army for battle, and when the two armies are strangled, look for an opportunity to attack!"

He Xiyan controlled the [-] army and had been hiding and waiting in the south of Daozhou.

"Leader!"

Shi Zhongtang's eyes sparkled, "This is the south of the king, Gongling Mausoleum is not far away, let their father and son be buried together, if you want to honor the emperor underground, you have to be grateful to the king!"
