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

"Master Pei, Master Pei!"

"Master Pei! Hahaha, look! The news from us is really great. The convoy is trapped between a cliff and cannot move forward or retreat. It is estimated that it will not be able to get out for seven or eight days. However, the situation in Jiannan Road is even worse. It is estimated that food and grass will not be available at this time. "

"Hundreds of thousands of people. If hundreds of thousands of people don't have enough to eat, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be defeated!"

Xiao Yu and Wang Gui also rushed in happily.

Pei Ji smiled softly and invited the two of them to sit down.

"Yeah, who says it's not?"

"Didn't I just receive the news? The progress here is also good." Now, no matter how hard Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng try, they can't escape our grasp.

“This time, it’s stable, completely stable.

"Let's just stay in Chang'an and wait quietly for His Majesty and his companions to come back. When the time comes, we have to go out together to greet them."

Pei Ji was in a good mood and poured tea for the two of them personally.

"Hahaha!" Wang Gui laughed: "That's for sure."

"I heard that we also have the upper hand in the battle on Jiannan Road? Even if Li Shimin personally led the expedition and brought along people like Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde, there was no great achievement at all. "

"Every step they take, the Tang Dynasty will have to pay a price with blood. It is estimated that even if they fight hard, they will not be able to get through the Shu Road."

"However, this time, they will be completely defeated!"

Wang Gui felt relieved.

He smiled and took a sip of tea.

A big stone in my heart has completely fallen.

"Yes."

"This battle also proves that our strategy is correct."

"Master Pei, your idea is really wonderful. Stick to Jiannan Road. From now on, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Hahaha, it's wonderful!"

"In addition, the children of Jiannan Road are so capable."

"It seems that we don't have to worry anymore in the future. This area of ​​Jiannan Road can already be completely controlled by our family."

"Auxiliary machine and Xuancheng are very anxious now. These two old men, hehehe..."

Xiao Yu smiled happily while stroking his hands.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the children have really grown up." Pei Ji was also extremely satisfied: "Come here, serve food and wine, hahaha, we won't come back until we get drunk today. We have only been worried about Jiannan these days. It’s all about Tao, where have you had a good rest?”

Okay, hahaha, I won’t go home until I’m drunk.

In Pei's house, there was a lot of laughter.
.
….…….….….….
royal palace.

Fengyi Hall.

Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji seemed to be dozens of years older, and their hair was completely white, like snow.

Their bodies were stooped.

Like rotten wood, without any energy at all.

Queen Changsun is in front.

“The Queen, it’s my minister who is incompetent, it’s my minister who is incompetent!”

"Your Majesty entrusted such an important matter to the guilty minister, but I have failed you and failed you!"

"The Queen, I deserve to die! I am guilty! Please ask the Queen to punish me with death!"

"My lord, I have no face to see His Majesty, no face to face the army!"

Wei Zheng's forehead was firmly pressed against the steps.

At this moment, it was all covered in blood.

Beside him, Changsun Wuji also took a deep breath and echoed: "My lord, I agree!"

"I am ashamed of your majesty, I am ashamed of the people, and I am ashamed of the world. I am guilty!"

"My lord, please die!"

Changsun Wuji roared.

The two of them really want to die now.

They were ordered to be the general manager of the army's logistics and allocate resources from all over the world, but now, they were faced with a situation where the army had no food to eat but they were helpless.

These days, they really have thought of every possible way.

But, it’s useless!

The resistance is too great.

They also know very well where these resistances come from.

but,
So what if you know?

They are, after all, just officials, and they cannot crack it.

Queen Changsun's face was also very ugly.

How could she sleep these days?
but,
Looking at Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng who had worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, how could she really convict them?

"Come here, help the two adults down."

"It's been a lot of hard work for you two adults these days."

"The rest depends on... Your Majesty."

Queen Changsun said in a deep voice.

Jin Wuwei came up and pulled the two of them down.

"Empress, we deserve to die, we deserve to die, please give us death, Empress."

"We are sorry for His Majesty, we are sorry for the people, and we are sorry for the Tang Dynasty!"

"...."

The two yelled, but what's the use?
Empress Changsun was in some pain and closed her eyes from exhaustion.

Shortness of breath.

My heart is bitter.

How to do?
What else can I do?
What should she do?
Datang, Datang is like this now, what can I do?

Damn the noble family.

However, now I can only curse.

The family members already have Jiannan Road.

Could it be that

At this time, are they still going to be forced to take out Lingnan Dao and others?
A good world, a good Tang Dynasty, how did it become like this?

Queen Changsun really couldn't accept it.

"This time, Datang was defeated!"

"If the army has no food, its morale will collapse instantly. This time, Your Majesty... the court will really become a joke to the world.

Queen Changsun kept murmuring.

Beside her, the maid poured a cup of tea for Queen Changsun.

"My dear, don't worry so much.

"Maybe... the boat will straighten up when it reaches the bridge."

"Don't worry, I believe God will not favor those wolf-hearted guys so much."

"The family members really went too far this time."

"They have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the Central Plains, but they still want to rebel and force His Majesty to do this."

"My dear, there will be retribution, there will definitely be retribution."

What can the maid say now?

It can only be comforted. "Hey..." Queen Changsun took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

"retribution."

As she spoke, she shook her head.

"Retribution."

"But good people don't live long, and bad people live for thousands of years."

“How can you believe God?
"There are so many bad things done by the family members, but they can still be passed down for thousands of years. There is nothing we can do about it."

"Come on, you can go to the temple with me."

"I didn't expect that the only way we can help His Majesty now is to offer him incense sticks."

Queen Changsun stood up, her eyes filled with sourness and a bitter smile.

"it is good!"

The palace maid nodded, and the two of them walked out together.

 …
Chang'an is in a bit of chaos.

After all, this matter is too big and cannot be hidden, not to mention that the arrogance in the hearts of some noble families cannot help but show off.

News spreads quickly.

spread like wildfire.

At this moment, the whole of Chang'an is about to explode.

Your Majesty, you are going to be defeated!

Jiannan said, he is going to lose!
The people of Chang'an couldn't believe that a million-strong army could not recapture a rebel Jiannan Road.

"What's going on? How could this happen? Damn it, how could His Majesty be defeated? This is the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty. This is the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty. Hiss... My God, if the company is defeated If Jiannan Road cannot be calmed down, can we, the Tang Dynasty, fight against Great Yan? Those armies of Great Yan are the real tiger and wolf troops."

"Who says it's not the case! Maybe it's because of the unfavorable geographical location of Jiannan Road. I went to Jiannan Road a long time ago. To be honest, it's difficult to pass even one person on that road. One man can't pass the barrier and ten thousand people can't pass it. , this is not just a matter of words.”

"Bullshit! No matter how hard one man tries to stop ten thousand others, Jiannan Road is just Jiannan Road. It's not the capital of Xia. I, the Tang Dynasty, have come out in force, but they can't even stop a rebellion. What else is there? Easy to talk about.”

"That's true. It seems that our Datang really has a problem with itself. Now it's better. Hedong Road, Hebei Road, and Jiannan Road are all gone. Our Datang, what's left is There aren’t many left.”

"Moreover, these three places are extremely important to me, the Tang Dynasty."

"Hey...how could your majesty and the others be defeated? With so many elite soldiers, not to mention Ji Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and other powerful generals and ministers, your majesty personally led the expedition. , but if we lose, I feel that our Datang is almost over."

"Hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, you can't say this nonsense."

"There's nothing more that can't be said. It's time. Hey, if His Majesty is really going to be defeated, I'm afraid there will really be big trouble."

"...."

The people of Chang'an were talking a lot.

On this day, the atmosphere in Chang'an was extremely solemn and even more gloomy.

On this day, people inside and outside Chang'an were walking in a hurry, and there was not even a lot of rush to buy food.

The world is going to be in chaos.

As long as Jiannan Road cannot be pacified, then I am afraid that many people will have their thoughts on other roads. By then, the scene of the last years of the previous dynasty will reappear. By then, the world will be in turmoil again. The people will have nothing to do but gather more troops. Food, what can it be used for?

…….….….….….….
Lizhou County.

Inside the big tent.

now,

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, etc., all stood in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sat in his seat, looking at everyone, his eyes filled with gloom.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with calling us back so urgently?"

"The third level has just been won. We need to quickly station our people, then investigate the defense situation of the fourth level and formulate an attack plan!"

Li Jing's voice was low.

The air in the big tent was somewhat solemn.

They were so depressed that they all felt a little out of breath.

On the way, they asked Fang Xuanling why His Majesty summoned them in such a hurry at this time. Or summon everyone together?
However, Fang Xuanling didn't say much. He just said that he would know when they arrived.

The eyes of Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde all fell on Li Shimin.

Shortness of breath.

Pursing their lips, they all became nervous for some unknown reason.

"The fourth level, phew..."

Li Shimin took a breath and spoke, his voice still hoarse: "How many people have died in these three levels?" "

As soon as this word comes out,
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong and others also gritted their teeth.

This problem, they knew in their hearts, was already beyond their ability to accept, but they were holding on.

Because they all understand that Datang cannot lose this battle, Datang really cannot lose.

The army of the Sixteenth Guards was also holding on.

The elite of the Tang Dynasty also understood the significance of this battle.

As for those imperial soldiers, Li Jing did not dare to use them. They were worse than the Sixteen Guards in all aspects. If they were allowed to attack, they would probably not be able to have any real effect on the level. In the end, the casualties would probably be too serious. ,
This leads to mental breakdown and morale collapse.

As long as they open the door, they all know what will happen next.

"Your Majesty..." Li Jing gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, in the future, as we become more familiar with the opponent's defense methods, the number of casualties may decrease."

Li Shimin shook his head.

At this time, he actually laughed.

"No chance."

"Hehehe, I asked Xuanling to call you this time just to tell you that I am going to withdraw my troops."

"Go back and stop fighting."

Li Shimin said calmly.

However, he said it easily, but when these words fell into the ears of Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others, they were like thunder from the sky.

Everyone was stunned.

do not fight?
After hard work, I finally conquered three levels, and even at a heavy price. Now, you say you don’t want to fight anymore?
That….
This!
The cost is too high!
So many people have died in the Tang Dynasty, and now you say you won’t fight?

Could it be that

Did all those soldiers who died in the battle die in vain?

If so, their bloody battles these days have become a joke? It was completely meaningless. Although the casualties were heavy, Li Shimin's order still made them unable to hold back.

"Your Majesty, how could this happen? Why didn't you fight?"

"We, our soldiers have tried their best these days, but if we just retreat like this, what will our dead brothers be?"

"They, hiss...did they die in vain?"

"Your Majesty, these days, brothers are risking their lives. They have forgotten their own lives. They only think about quelling the war so that they can give them an explanation so that their deaths are not in vain."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we cannot withdraw at this time. We really cannot withdraw."

"Give me another three days. After three days, I will definitely win the fourth level!"

Li Jing roared, his tired eyes were all bloodshot and so red that the whites of his eyes could not be seen at all.

Li Jing couldn't accept it.

He really felt like he was going crazy!
"Yes, Your Majesty, next time, the general will charge again. If you are not the first one to charge, the brothers will definitely die less. Your Majesty, the general is not afraid of death, and brothers are not afraid of death. We can't retreat, we can't retreat. , our Datang has lost this battle, what will happen next for our Datang?"

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty was conquered by brothers. Many of the Sixteenth Guards have been following your Majesty in the wars in the north and south. The old brothers have feelings and beliefs for the Tang Dynasty in their hearts. Your Majesty, the old brothers are not afraid of death. Before, they They all broke through, and now they firmly believe that His Majesty will lead them out again. "
