retaliate

Chapter 1584
In late spring, Xijiang ushered in an army led by the emperor.

The mighty army crossed Yazhou City and continued to move forward. Zheng Yuandong led civil and military officials under his command to meet him.

"Where are they going?" one official asked.

"They're going to go to the border."

The Chinese army is here.

When he saw the dragon flag, Zheng Yuandong saluted.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

The emperor rode out and said, "Excuse me."

Zheng Yuandong raised his head, "Your Majesty has been relieved."

The emperor got off his horse and threw the bridle to Wu Da, "You, Zheng Yuandong, cherished words like gold at the beginning, why did you learn how to welcome him after spending a few years in Xijiang."

Zheng Yuandong said: "Your Majesty is like a bird trapped in a cage in Chang'an. Fortunately, Your Majesty did not give up and ordered you to take charge of the western border. After arriving in the western border, I feel that this life is not in vain."

The emperor asked: "I heard that those Luoluo people call you Zheng Butcher? Why?"

"Chen...generally don't want to take prisoners."

"Why?" asked the emperor.

"I think it's a waste of food."

some meaning.

Entering Yazhou City, the people flocked out to welcome him.

"Your Majesty, the Luoluo people have done us a lot of harm. Is Your Majesty here to teach them a lesson?" Someone shouted.

The people on both sides quieted down, waiting for the emperor's response.

The emperor said: "In the past few years, the generals under my command have been bored and wanted to find a place to fight. If I want to teach the Luoluo people, I only need to send one general. I came to destroy the country!"

Xijiang was really harmed by Luoluo, but the disaster was a disaster, but Luoluo never attacked the city. In addition, the remoteness of the west border, the main enemy of the Tang Dynasty was the Northern Liao Dynasty, so the west border has been ignored by Chang'an monarchs.

People in Xijiang complained and reprimanded, but Chang'an still ignored them.

They have nothing else to ask for, just one, can they teach the Loro people a lesson so that they don't dare to invade the western border.

The emperor is here, and the imperial conquest is in person.

People in Xijiang saw hope, but the emperor gave them even greater joy.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Amidst the cheers, the prince was thoughtful.

"Can the prince get something?" Han Ji asked.

"Looking at these cheering people, Gu now understands the truth of the right time and place. The so-called harmony between people means the hearts of the people. If the people don't support this battle, then no matter how many arrogant soldiers there are, this battle will still be difficult to fight. If the common people support this battle, even if they are dressed in rags, the morale of the soldiers will still be like a rainbow."

Han Ji glanced at He Lianrong, and He Lianrong praised: "Your Highness has sharp eyesight, which is a blessing of Tang Dynasty."

When the emperor entered Yazhou City, he convened a meeting on the same day.

"Yas has been expanding its army, and now 20 troops are marching towards the east. With 20, food and supplies can drive the Luoluo people crazy. Therefore, this battle is a battle that will destroy the country. If you can't win, you will be defeated!"

The emperor set the tone.

He glanced at Pei Jian.

Pei Jian said:

"If you can't win, the money and food consumed in this battle will overwhelm Luoluo's finances. Once the finances collapse, Yas can only increase taxes, and tax increases will cause the people to live in poverty, and then there will be wars...or it will ruin the country. Zuo. Therefore, this kind of national war cannot be easily started. Once it starts..."

Pei Jian recited the emperor's famous saying: "Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed."

The prince knew that this was teaching himself.

He has learned these words before, but he has never had such a profound experience at this moment.

It turns out that war must comprehensively consider gains and losses, consider the balance of power between the two sides, and consider whether one side has the ability to bear any consequences...

It's impossible to send troops as soon as you slap your forehead and get angry!

The emperor glanced at the prince, smiled and said: "I actually like this kind of situation the most. If I wait for the opponent to defend, our army will attack. To be honest, it is too slow."

"A 20-strong army is attacking, and they consume a huge amount of food and grass every day. Yas will take the initiative to launch a decisive battle without our urging." Pei Jian pointed to a line on the map and said: "This is the latest news from our scouts , Luo Luo's army is more than three hundred miles away, and the vanguard has already reached the border area... Zheng Dudu said."

Zheng Yuandong left the squad, "After the enemy's forward arrived, they rested for a few days, and then began to test. At the beginning, the enemy attacked with a small group of cavalry. The old man concluded that this was to test the deployment of our army and whether our deployment is flexible. The old man Immediately attack with rangers, outflank and intercept at the same time... The enemy cavalry is alert and retreats decisively after losing a part."

The prince was thinking, and a small group of cavalry tried to move away with one blow. This is the tactic of war.

"The old man wanted to attack, but when the army of food and grass arrived, the old man was worried about diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Once the food and grass were burned, it would be a serious crime."

The front tactics are bold and flexible, but the back is steady.

The emperor nodded, "This is just a test, but let them know, second child."

"Your Majesty!" Wang Laoer clapped his hands and left the class.

"You haven't mobilized troops for several years, but you have gained a lot of weight." The emperor said dissatisfiedly: "Go, tell the enemy army on the opposite side that I am coming."

"Accept the order." Wang Lao Er happily prepared to set off.

"Erlang, Sanlang!" the emperor said.

Li Lao Er and He Lianguang came out.

"The two of you follow, remember, military orders are like mountains!"

"Yes!"

The two and a half children were overjoyed.

The two followed Wang Laoer to attack, and five thousand cavalry galloped all the way, crossed the border, and pierced the enemy's ribs.

"There are two cities here, we are cavalry, and it is not easy to attack the strong city, so we pass between the two cities. The enemy must be worried that we are going to attack the grain road, so we must attack..."

Wang Laoer pointed to the map to explain his decision to his subordinates, but he kept looking at the two boys.

Has he ever been so careful in leading an army?
The generals knew that this was Wang Laoer teaching his disciples!
The emperor took his three sons to the expedition this time. The eldest is the prince, who took him with him to teach him personally.The second child and the third child were stubborn and lost to the second child Wang.

I don't know how many generals along the way are waiting anxiously for the emperor to take a fancy to him and throw one of the two princes to him.This is a rare qualification. If you bring it out, you will be promoted a few steps faster than others in the future.

But the emperor simply packed up the two sons and threw them to Wang Laoer.

Some people slandered that Wang Er Er had always been straightforward in harvesting heads, so what can he teach if he takes two princes with him?How does the professor cut off the head?
"Do you two have an opinion?"

Wang Laoer had a rare outburst of patience.

He Lianguang held back, but Li Er Er asked, "What is the purpose of our coming here?"

Wang Laoer said: "Let's come here to remind the other party that your majesty is coming. This is called first-sounding. Do you know how to first-sounding?"

Helian Guang was silent.

Li Laoer said: "Kill!"

What is your answer?
He Lianguang felt that it was unreliable, at least it should be... rushed to the city and roared a few times, right?
"Your Majesty has the same temper as me!" Wang Er Er was overjoyed, "Exactly, what better way than killing people!"

He Lianguang couldn't help asking: "How many people are you going to kill?"

He had never killed anyone in Zan City, nor had he seen a battle formation, so he was a little dazed when he heard Wang Lao Er's tiger-wolf words.

"At least... 1000 people!" Wang Laoer looked indifferent.

"Then if you kill 1000 people, the other party still doesn't care?"

"Then kill another thousand!"

Is this the level of Aye's confidant general?He Lianguang: "..."

"set off!"

Wang Laoer took five thousand horses and crossed between the two cities, killing a group of scouts along the way.

"Here is someone who is not dead, come, Your Majesty."

Wang Laoer beckoned, Li Laoer trotted over, and saw an enemy soldier lying on the ground, who had been stabbed in the thigh, and was speaking with tears in his eyes that no one could understand.

"Kill him!" Wang Laoer ordered.

The military order is like a mountain!

The surrounding soldiers were all looking at Li Laoer.

This is the first appearance of the princes, whether it is a mule or a horse...

Choke!

Everyone who Li Laoer drew his sword quickly was surprised.

The light of the saber flashed, Li Laoer put the saber back into its sheath, and raised his head, "Is it okay?"

There is an extra human head on the ground.

The broken stubble is amazingly neat.

But what is even more admirable is De Wang's cleanliness and unchangeable expression.

Wang Er Er rubbed his chin, "Who did you learn from to draw the sword so quickly?"

"When I was young, Aye used to tell me stories to lull me to sleep. The one I told the most was the story of a knight. The knight had a bloody feud. He didn't have a famous teacher to guide him. He practiced hard to draw a sword and finally took revenge. From the second Since the beginning of the day, I have practiced the art of drawing swords every day..."

Talent!

Wang Lao Er felt that De Wang was really talented, and he was especially fond of him.

He glanced at Helian Guang, "Do you dare to kill someone?"

He Lianguang nodded without hesitation, "Dare."

"Set off."

After passing through the two cities, Wang Laoer led them into a forest.

"Have a meal!"

Wang Er Er sat down, took out the jerky and threw a piece of jerky to King De and He Lianguang, "Hurry up and eat."

The taste of the beef jerky was unexpectedly delicious, which made He Lianguang eat it full of praise.

"My wife made it." Wang Laoer said proudly, "The best jerky in Chang'an."

After eating the jerky and drinking a few sips of water, Wang Laoer leaned against the tree trunk and started snoring soon.

He Lianguang felt that this man had a really big heart, so he asked King De in a low voice, "Why does Aye trust this man so much?"

Li Laoer crossed his arms and leaned against the tree trunk, lazily said: "He is the only man in the outer court who can enter the harem, Auntie will smile when she sees him..."

"This is a confidant!"

"No!"

"what is that?"

"Dear ones."

……

Not long after, two scouts came in and found Wang Lao Er, "General, the enemy army is coming."

Wang Laoer opened his eyes, "How many people?"

"two thousand."

"Prepare!"

Wang Lao Er yawned, and quickly regained his energy.

"You two follow me." Wang Laoer did not forget the two disciples.

But where he didn't see, the two disciples stared at the avenue outside with green eyes.

"The opportunity has come."

Mr. Li held the horizontal knife behind his waist in his second hand, to prevent the reflection of the knife from being seen by the outside.

He looked at Helian Guang, "Can you do it?"

It is one thing to compete with the sergeants, but it is another thing to actually fight.According to the military, when a good fighter goes to battle for the first time, there is a high chance that he will be killed by an ordinary sergeant.

This is the result of experience and mentality.

Therefore, Wang Lao Er had to take them with him personally.

The enemy army is coming, and they ride their horses and run fast.

Wang Laoer raised his hand, and someone stretched his bow and set up an arrow, ready to shoot a loud arrow.

The fat elder looked back at the two princes, wanting to tell them to follow closely...

He saw De Wang hunched over and staring out.

He Lianguang didn't know when he had a bow and arrow in his hand, so he opened his bow and set the arrow...

Wang Laoer waved his hand, and the archer shot an arrow into the sky.

Amidst the sound of beeping, King De disappeared from the fat elder's sight in an instant.

An arrow passed through the gap between the branches and leaves, and shot accurately into the neck of the enemy general.

A figure rushed out of the woods, swinging a knife.

Heads fall!
