I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 83 Besieged on all sides, trapped beasts are still fighting

Li Tai and Qin Qiong were completely helpless, all support routes were blocked, and the Hebei Road area was in chaos.

The more this is the case, the crazier the local states are.

Seeing that he was in a dangerous situation, the Jian'an Governor's Mansion set off from Beisha City to North Korea that night, surrendering the entire state!

The current battle situation is divided into three lines.

First, Yue Fei's army attacked the Tuhuzhen River area.

Second, control the Shuiliao area to prevent North Korea from making trouble.

Third, with Youzhou as the starting point, entering the Bohai Sea directly formed a blockade for the support of the states along the Henan Province.

From the map, there are no countries in the Dafeichuan area on the left, and Qin Mu's army in the Bohai Sea area on the right is invincible, and the Turks in the north are controlled by Qin Mu, blocking the chaos of the countries behind.

In the south, Jiangnan Road was controlled by the eldest grandson's family and became king.

In the current imperial court, Chang'an is simply a bird in a cage!

The area under real control is less than two-fifths, and the remaining twenty or so states, although they still have strength, must be vigilant at all times.

Not to mention the internal chaos, the people are even more chaotic.

Surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides, even with 50 forbidden troops, Li Tai is helpless!
Qin Qiong was completely relieved, thinking that the unified control of military power would bring the imperial court back to life.

Actually, reality taught him a lesson!
That night, he summoned Tang Jian and others in the mansion to discuss the situation.

As for why not discuss it in the court?

that is of course
The court has become empty, only a few of them are really useful, and Li Tai, the emperor, is like a puppet.

"Hu Guogong, we are at the end of the road now, is it possible to counterattack?"

"Counterattack? Is Tang Shangshu joking?"

Hearing this, Gao Shilian snorted coldly: "Where is the counterattack? Is it Jiangnan Road? The Changsun family has a heavy army, not to mention that the imperial court has no flaws to control it now. It is estimated that even the border cannot be approached."

"In addition, Qin Mu has already controlled ten prefectures, not counting the Turkic and Khitan regions. There are tens of millions of people under his rule. How can he counterattack?"

Tang Jian frowned, thinking about it carefully, let alone attacking, the current imperial court can hardly even maintain military expenditure.

The war is imminent, if the supply of the army cannot be guaranteed, then no matter how many people there are, it will be nonsense.

"What on earth is Qin Mu going to do? This offensive is obviously not right. It's even faster. In just a few days, several prefectures have been broken in a row. Heavy troops are defending the sea area of ​​Pingzhou, and they have blocked the sea area of ​​Youzhou to cut off support from Dengzhou and other places."

"Okay, stop arguing, how about the imitation weapon you mentioned last time?"

In the end, Qin Qiong waved his hand to stop the quarrel among several important ministers.

As a general, he has been fighting for decades, so he is naturally superior in military strategy.

What these civil servants see is always interests, and they cannot see the real conspiracy behind the war.

He unfolded the map, and four directions were clearly marked on it.

They are respectively, "Hebei Road" in the upper north, "Jiangnan Road" in the lower south, "Dafeichuan" in the left west, and "North Korea" in the right east.

"Isn't this the predicament of the imperial court just mentioned?" Tang Jian was full of doubts.

Qin Qiong nodded without denying it.

"That's right, but if you look carefully, Qin Mu obviously has the ability to attack Chang'an long ago, but he hasn't used it for a long time. He has been developing, and this time he won Yingzhou and other places. What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, insufficient population, or insufficient resources?"

"neither!"

Qin Qiong said coldly: "His real intention is to completely trap the imperial court in a cage, and then eat away at it step by step, while continuously developing his own strength. The control of the sea area this time is obviously to open up sea lanes. Although I don't know why, since Strategically speaking, he wants to contact North Korea!"

"Contact North Korea!"

Tang Jian, Gao Shilian and others immediately came to God, "If this is the case, isn't he planning to unite with foreign countries and control Datang?"

"Humph!"

Qin Qiong really didn't know how to criticize Ren's vision.

It can only be explained one by one.

"North Korea is located in the east and is the most important outlet to the sea, and the Bohai Sea is an excellent seaport. If North Korea is not removed, the sea route will be impassable. Therefore, I think Qin Mu wants to take North Korea!"

"what!"

"He's crazy, with this little army, he plans to take down North Korea?"

Everyone was shocked!

Qin Mu's subordinates estimate that there are about 10,000+ soldiers and horses, and the logistics force is less than 30.

Although there are many soldiers and horses, the equipment is not so sufficient.

At such a time, the internal struggle cannot be stabilized, and you still want to attack other countries?
Isn't this courting death?
"I know what you're thinking, but based on what I know about Qin Mu, it's certain that he has such an idea. It's just that he needs to find the right time to attack. In addition, he may have another intention to control Yingzhou this time!"

"Increase population, replenish soldiers!"

Speaking of this, Qin Qiong sighed, "Since the establishment of the Songmo Governor's Mansion, the imperial court's border troops have been provided from there. Now that they have been captured, the imperial court will never have any more elite soldiers to supplement!"

"Cocoa us now."

Tang Jian wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he shut up.

The actual control area of ​​the imperial court is gradually shrinking, and the population is less than [-] million. The number of soldiers is not bad, but what about the horses?
The best war horses are all from the grassland area!

In this era without cars, the main means of movement in war is the war horse.

"He, Qin Mu, wants to force the court to death!"

"I think he not only wants to force the court to death, but also establish a reputation for himself!"

When everyone heard the words, they immediately understood.

Historically, the emperor needs to establish his own prestige and reputation.

Especially reputation, like Li Shimin, who is full of notoriety, and is insulted behind the back of the world.

Qin Mu is different. Although he is a traitor, the people still love him and even support him to rebel and become the new emperor.

what is this?
This is the hearts of the people!
Once you have the hearts of the people and the people support you, what can stop your dominance?
Thinking hard!
"Having said so much, where is our way out?"

The more Gao Shilian looked at the markings on the map, the more nervous he became. The court collapsed, and they couldn't escape either.

"If it continues like this, not to mention Qin Mu, the eldest grandson's family will probably come to make trouble!"

"That's right, the eldest grandson's family is indeed a threat, but at the same time, it is also a way out!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Qin Qiong, waiting for an explanation.

Qin Qiong frowned and swept over.

"What I'm going to say next, I hope everyone will think it over again, you just know what I know!"

Tang Jian and Gao Shilian looked at each other, and needless to say, the rest of the senior officials followed suit.

"Hu Guogong said bluntly, there is no need to be taboo, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, and no one can escape."

"That's right, it's better to have a way out than to be stuck!"

"Besides, the new emperor is no longer successful, if this continues."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Shilian expressed his dissatisfaction with the emperor.

With such a beginning, there is no resistance in everyone's heart.
