Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Hey, is Dayan just gone? In fact, I still have a good impression of Dayan. Looking at the things that Dayan has done, it seems that he has never harmed us people, but only lost the interests of the noble clan."

"This is true, but after all, Dayan has crossed the line and actually seized our Qingzhou. Your Majesty is right to send troops! If you want to blame this matter, you can only blame Dayan for being too stupid to defend it. What's the solution?"

"That's true, but having said that, who in the world can be our opponent in the Tang Dynasty? Not to mention that Great Yan is a tiny place."

"Hahaha, that's right!"

"......."

Countless people were discussing and speculating. Naturally, they didn't know what was happening in the same county.

Just looking at the neat appearance of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the complete armor formation, the most important thing is that there is no wounded soldier at all.

How can we still be in such a state after the war? If it's not devastating, not completely crushing, what else can it be?

Countless people rushed out of Mingde Gate to welcome the return of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Generals such as Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhang Liang looked at the enthusiastic people with burning faces.

pain!

shame!

Extremely shameful! !

However, they are also difficult to explain.

You can’t stop and say that you failed, right?

Therefore, everyone could only lower their heads and enter the city.

however,

After all, there is no wall that is airtight in the world.

The truth slowly spread in the evening.

The entire Chang'an exploded completely!

It exploded countless times more than when it welcomed the returning army.

The whole city was in commotion.

The entire city seemed to be cracking apart.

"What? Really or not? No... Didn't you say that our army of the Tang Dynasty returned in triumph and returned to the court? Why did it turn into a huge defeat in just two or three hours? Is this wine still allowed? Drink.”

"What's the matter of passing by in triumph? What's the matter? When I heard about it, I was also frightened. It was the same as you. Damn it, the reason why our Datang army didn't suffer any damage is not Because our crushing against Great Yan was not a matter of destruction, but...our army did not really start a war against Great Yan at all, and was frightened by everyone and came back in despair."

"Oh my God! How powerful is Dayan? Our Tang Dynasty has an army of fifty thousand, a whole army of fifty thousand. This, this, this... is too scary!"

"Isn't that right? My neighbor's son went on an expedition. It is said that there was a military parade over there in Dayan. Do you know about the military parade? It is to show off one's own troops. It is said that it was His Majesty, General Li and the others who watched the military parade. , was immediately frightened and retreated."

"I've also heard about this. It's said that the force displayed by everyone in the military parade is too powerful. I heard that everyone can hit the red target in one salvo. This is too scary and there is no way to shoot! "

"By the way, speaking of this, in fact, our Tang Dynasty once attacked Pu County. I heard that General Yuchi led the army, but in the end it was defeated directly by Dayan's cavalry army. But Emperor Dayan is really He was kind-hearted, but he just used archers and cavalry to drive them away, but he did not drive them all away."

"Hiss... Why don't I believe what you are saying? Is Great Xia Yan that strong? Oh my God, if this is true, can we, the Tang Dynasty, take back Qingzhou?"

"Who knows, but I don't think so, but there is a chance. After all, we just don't know much about Dayan's details now. We will study it later. Once we know the details about Dayan, there may be a way."

"How long will it take? Great Yan... How long has it been since Great Yan was established? It is so powerful now. This is too unbelievable. Damn it, what should we do in the Tang Dynasty next?"

"Who knows? Hey, stop drinking. Go away. Go home and sleep. I'm really not in the mood."

"......."

There was a lot of wailing in Chang'an, and everyone was talking about this matter.

They were all stunned and frightened by Dayan.

Simultaneously,

Some people were also infected by Dayan's benevolence and righteousness.

The fact that so many soldiers from the Tang Dynasty came back safely was really thanks to them not doing too much harm at the first time.

now.

The previously full restaurants, teahouses and brothels were all gone in a short time.

After the truth is exposed, who can still think about eating and drinking?

In an instant, Chang'an City fell completely silent.

Like an empty city.
.

….….….….….

late at night.

But the lights in the house were still on.

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others were all there.

The food on the table was almost untouched.

But the wine jar next to it was already empty.

"Great Yan, how should we deal with it? Is there anything else we can do now?"

"The people in the city, I heard the rumors, are extremely disappointed in our Tang Dynasty."

"People's hearts and minds have been shattered and their confidence has been lost. It will be very difficult to regain it."

Fang Xuanling took another drink by herself and whispered.

"Da Yan... Sigh..." Cheng Yaojin also put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were already a little tipsy. He smiled bitterly: "When I was captured by Dayan in the first war, I thought I was underestimating the enemy. In fact, This is indeed the case.”

"When I had free time in Dayan, I could always hear from the streets of Yanyun City that our Northern Expedition in the Tang Dynasty scared them out of their wits. At that time, everyone was a soldier, and many people even had farm tools. , I was in fear all day long.”

"They were really scared at that time, and we in the Tang Dynasty did have a great chance of defeating them. But this time, only two years later, they... have progressed to the point where they are no longer afraid of us."

"Nowadays, my country, the Tang Dynasty, is suffering from internal and external troubles. I can't think of any solutions. I, Old Cheng... let me fight on the battlefield, that's fine! It's fine that I sell my life! But I just can't think of these strategies."

"Don't say I'm stupid. This matter still depends on you, Xuanling and Yuchi. Please think more about it. I beg you."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Fang Xuanling and Yuchi Jingde and said with great sincerity.

"Hey, Lao Cheng, you think I don't want to think of a way? But what can I do?"

Fang Xuanling let out a long sigh. He looked at the bright moon outside the window, feeling extremely depressed: "Dayan, damn God, why don't you put such luck on our Datang? Well, why did you come out of nowhere? Where’s Da Yan?”

"Isn't it enough that we have the Tang Dynasty in the world?"

Fang Xuanling was depressed and had another bowl of wine.

Just finish it.

He has always been a heavy drinker, and he has already drank two jars today, which is no less than the others.

"Even if we were given the lobby, our Tang Dynasty wouldn't be able to handle it."

"If those from Great Yan were placed in our Datang, I'm afraid they would be beaten to death by various people from the beginning."

"This is the difference between Datang and Dayan. To be honest, I am a little envious of the country of Dayan."

Yuchi Jingde raised his head in a daze and said stupidly: "The Great Yan was also established by us Han people, and there are no rules. We, the Tang Dynasty, have been restrained by the clan clans for so many years and cannot move."

"But what about Dayan? They are different. They can run as fast as they want. Of course, the main thing is Emperor Dayan, a great figure in the world. He is too powerful, really too powerful. He can't be compared to it, even His Majesty. he."

"Great Yan, I have never been there, but I heard from Keming that it is a kingdom of gods. It really is a kingdom of gods."

Fang Xuanling laughed as he spoke.

Silly and dumb, there is actually a smile and yearning in his eyes.

He seemed to have placed the utopia he thought deep down in his heart on Dayan.

Just like people in later generations, some people have never gone abroad and always have beautiful fantasies about foreign countries, thinking that it is a utopia and their own country is a puddle of mud.

But where there are people, there will always be fights.

Basically, after going out once, you will become more patriotic and fall in love with your hometown. Therefore, there is a saying that the more you go abroad, the more patriotic you become.

In earlier times, the little devils had beautiful illusions about Paris. It wasn't until they went there that their illusions were shattered. The so-called Paris was not as good as Tokyo, and many people suffered from "Paris Syndrome" because of this.

Fang Xuanling seemed to have such a fantasy at the moment.

The only difference from the above examples is that Dayan is a new empire with a new name.

Its people are new.

The land is also new.

Even the influence is new.

Perhaps wherever people exist, there will be struggles and unsatisfactory things, but Dayan will also have more opportunities and more vitality.

Personal abilities will not be completely overwhelmed by deep-rooted relationships, because everyone has only two or three years at most.

"Hey…."

Fang Xuanling sighed and continued: "Pharmacist, the second brother Qin is still in the same county. I guess... they are under a lot of pressure. To put it bluntly, the defense system built by the same county is... There is no way to stop Da Yan.”

"If Dayan really wants to go south, he may be able to conquer the same county in one day."

"Should we suggest that His Majesty move the capital? Emperor Dayan seems to be extremely benevolent and righteous now, but what if there is a sudden explosion one day and approaches Chang'an?"

"Move the capital? Where to move the capital? Jinling! This place is also an ancient capital, and there is a natural barrier on the Yangtze River. It is also some distance away from Dayan."

"Jinling is not bad. There are natural dangers. It is much easier for us to defend. We only need to block it at the checkpoint. Even if Dayan is extremely capable, he will not be able to get through."

"But your Majesty may not be willing to move the capital now. It would affect morale and prestige too much. Your Majesty, it only lasts three years since he has been on the throne."

"What should we do?"

"......."

In the room, everyone was talking about their own thoughts.

But finally,

It's a mess, and I can't be sure of anything. I can only drink and drink to drown my sorrows, trying to numb myself and free myself from the great inflammation.

This group of Dukes of the Tang Dynasty,

Those who are worried about the great inflammation will have no sleep tonight.
.

…………………….

Changsun House.

Among all the relatives of General Tiance, only Changsun Wuji was not more hostile towards Pei Ji and other aristocratic families.

and so.

tonight.

Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and others came to the Changsun Mansion to discuss things together. Changsun Wuji learned about the family's thoughts from them, and they learned about Li Shimin's thoughts from Changsun Wuji.

It is also mutually beneficial.

At the same time, deepen cooperation and trust.

now.

They are also extremely serious.

Everyone was sitting in the hall.

They are all frowning.

The noble family that once boasted of being omnipotent, at this time, completely lost all the domineering power it had in the past.

"This time, our clan can be said to have lost both our wives and our troops. Qingzhou is gone. The food for disaster relief and the food and grass for the army are all provided by the clan."

"Hey, there is no gain at all and heavy losses... plus the 60 million yuan lost in Yanyun City in the middle of the year, our losses this year are too high."

"If the Great Inflammation is not resolved, it will definitely expand next year."

After a long time, Pei Ji spoke.

Everyone's eyes flickered.

They all had their own plans in mind, but they did not refute Pei Ji's words.

This is true.

If Great Yan continues to develop so unscrupulously, the space for the noble clans to survive will become smaller and smaller, and in the end, they will even be wiped out!

"But, how to deal with Great Yan?"

"The fifty thousand troops were all frightened back."

Xiao Yu said bitterly.

"If you are too tough, you will naturally have to use your inner strength." Changsun Wuji glanced at everyone, and his voice was faintly cruel: "Taking fire from the bottom of the cauldron, as long as this lifeline of Dayan is cut off, Dayan will surely collapse!"

Changsun Wuji shouted in a low voice.

"Huh? Auxiliary machine, what can you do?"

"Changsun Pushe, at this time, don't show off."

"Auxiliary machine, you say it! As long as the method is appropriate and reasonable, we will listen to you!"

"......."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic and shouted.

Changsun Wuji glanced at their eyes again.

Lips, slowly spit out a word.

"Salt!"

He said: "Today I specifically checked the account books related to Datang and Dayan in recent years, and found that the salt consumed by Dayan, including Qingzhou, is all sold from Datang."

"As long as we cut off Dayan's salt supply, how long can they last?"

"As long as we don't sell salt to Dayan, how many days can we store it in Dayan? Most of the salt comes from Shannan Road and Jiannan Road. Qingzhou does not produce salt, and the old land of Dayan in the north does not produce salt. "

"The salt they have over there is poisonous salt. If you eat it, you will die. Even if the gods come, they won't be able to save you."

Changsun Wuji was extremely confident. When he said these words, his back straightened up a lot.

hiss! !

When Changsun Wuji said these words, everyone in the room took a deep breath.

They stared at Changsun Wuji in horror, but after a few breaths, everyone's face showed ecstasy.

Golden light also exploded in the downcast eyes.

Yup!

yes! !

Salt!

They actually ignored this absolute killer.

Salt!

This can be regarded as the lifeblood of the clan, the absolute foundation!

Nowadays, most of the salt in the Tang Dynasty is supplied by clan sects, and naturally the same goes for Great Yan.

As long as the salt is cut off, do you still have to worry about the severe inflammation?
